Day Twenty Five

Well, things were looking up when I got some impressions from google... until... they rose the price on me by 40 cents!

@!*&#&%!*#&!

Ugh, thats a 200% increase in ppc price in one day! It was bad enough when some of the clicks were priced at 60 cents... but now... they all are!

I am starting to really hate google adwords. It seems as though my PPC ads were not getting a desirable amount of clicks. I was testing different ones but before I know it, google screwed me again!

I also grabbed a few books today, one is on creativity and problem solving that is very cool. The other two are Richard Bransons Autobiography and his book "Screw It Let's Do It". I read most of Screw It Let's Do It today and I must say A+++ book. There is no 'filler' or useless jargon, it is straight forward and easy to understand.

It's actually kind of hard nowadays to find books that are actually written by self-made billionaires. Most of the books on the market are written by ghostwriters.

Overall I learned so much from that little book. I think my difficulties in business are because I am doing for the money. Instead of for fun. When I was doing businesses for fun I not only enjoyed it, but put out MUCH better work - in fact, it didn't even feel like work. It was, a labour of love.

So I think I have to get back to basics and focus on something I enjoy. I have a number of ideas in the works, but that book has completely changed the way I look at things. Hell why was I even doing this business if I wasn't having any fun at it?

What's the point of being rich if you don't enjoy it at the same time. So, I think there has to be some major changes happening. Not quite sure what exactly I am going to do, but I have a lot of ideas being generated.
