The 4-hour workweek
I have read some reviews some time ago about this very interesting book called, The 4-hour work week and today when I was browsing JohnChow.com I found out that he is hosting a contest where you can win a signed copy of The 4-hour workweek book.
Personally I ordered the book today from a local bookstore, an I suggest you go and read more about this book.
You can also watch an interesting interview with him by clicking the image below.

Today I am having a look at the company AIM Business Capital, which provides companies with invoice factoring services.
So what does invoice factoring mean? With this service they buy your invoices fromyou, so instead of that you have to deal with your customers they do take that job and risk instead. What you get is instant cash flow and they only take a small fee for the job they do, and is something that is totally worth it in my opinion since you then can avoid all the hassle with customers and focus on more vital parts of your business. In other words a great “tool” for any small business.
To also mention their site it is very easy naviagated and filled with the information you need to get started. I also like the clean and professional look of it.

No victory without sacrifice
I was watching the movie Transformers the other day, which was a great movie. It was one quote that was kind of important in this movie that caught my attention and got me to reflect to what I write about here on the blog and that was, “no victory without sacrifice”.
I have written about this many times before and it is really worth looking in to again. As an entrepreneur you got to dare to try new things, taking risks and maybe do things you normally would not do, to reach the goal you have set up for what you are currently working on.
Taking risk is somehow vital when you are running your own business and an entrepreneur that does not dare to do something different and try out new ways of getting to a goal will most likely fail or get stuck somewhere on the road to success. To help you I have put together a short list of steps to take to overcome the fear of taking risks. So read the steps below and step out of your comfort zone.
Do not hold back
If you are going to do something, then really do it. Commit yourself to what you are doing and do it fully.
Your feelings
Do not let your feelings control your actions in your business too much. Do not let anxiety beat you, look at the facts and calculate what you have to loose and what you have to gain.
Just DO it
Do not hesitate. Of course you should not always take a risk without calucalting but sometimes it is easier to just jump off the cliff than to stand and watch how high up it is. The longer you wait, the higher the chance is that you will “chicken out”.
What you got to do is bet to win, and realize that you do not always win but for everytime you try you are getting closer to you goal. After each risk taken it will get easier, it is like practicing a sport.
Are you willing to risk loosing out on wonderful rewards and success just because you are to afraid to step out of your own comfort zone? If not, it is time to act.
There is no victory without sacrifice

My 3 weeks of vacation is coming to and end and I must say that these 3 weeks has been great. I will get back to writing more quality stuff now but for now you get a new batch of interesting post written by my fellow bloggers out there.
Have you been preparing for the next Google Page Rank update? If not, it is not to late so head over to Nate Whitehill’s blog and read his article on it.
Today I read an article on JohnChow.com that was written by a guest writer called Carl, that runs the blog Make Money Online with a 13-year old. The article he wrote there contains a list of five things he learned from John Chow, and contains a bunch of helpful tips for any web entrepreneur.
After reading the article mentioned above I went to Carls own blog to check it out for some interesting post, and the first one I stumbled upon really was. What Carl is writing about here is canonical URL’s and how they effect you in a negative way and what you can do to change it. I am actually working on this on my blog since I had four URL’s leading to the same content, but I still do not seem to get it to work but I guess I will soon.

I am going on a cruise
Tomorrow we are going on a cruise over to Helsinki, Finland for 40 hours. I love these cruises because I really get to spend time with Elin since there is no way I can work on these, there are no TVs. Just awesome food, beautiful surroundings and partying all night long.
I promise you that you will get a more valuable post when I get back.
