Interview with Mike Ryan

Last year in mid September 2007 I was interviewed for the very first time in my life if you would like to see my effort link through on the title and scroll down the page until you find the picture with me in it. There are two side bars so you will need to scroll down on the internal side bar first and after clicking through you will need to scroll up on the external bar. I was so nervous and afterwards I didn't think I would ever attempt an interview again. However how wrong was I, unfortunately the media file was lost and so Mike and Jenny offered to give me another interview which I am sure will come out much better. Yes Iwas still nervous the second time and also as the interview took place on Clarendon Street in South Melbourne on the first day of Melbourne's Grand Prix it provided me with the grandeur of appearing as a celebrity. It was just so much fun and I look forward to many more interviews as my small home based business grows.

Pitfalls of being a Home Based Business

I had forgotten how nice it was in an office environment that when your computer system went down there was an IT person to come and fix the error. However when you are working from home in a one person operation you suddenly become the IT person and in my case this happened over the January Christmas Holidays which left me even more stranded as there was no one to phone for advice. To make things even worse my error relates to my online shopping cart site which equates to no sales no money - catastrophic. Finally all should be working in the very near future and I must say I will be very very pleased when it happens. I have always been a big supporter of looking after home grown and small business operations but I was getting to the point that outsourcing the problem to the "not camping on the beach" holiday people overseas was starting to look my only option for getting back on line. Keep a look out for the Hooray I am making sales again! post.
