Jason & Jeremy often talk about “progress over perfection” in their Internet Business Mastery podcasts. It’s a phrase I think of every time I want to get something done.
What’s inside the box?
At times we can all need a little push to get things done even if we know, in our heart, that once completed they will bring great rewards. The motivation of the end goal and the results following your achievement are not always enough to get you to take action.
Seth Godin has written a motivational blog about opening the box. Reading Seth’s blog should give you a much needed boost at times!

Radio Sweepers vs. Sung Jingles
Here’s the jingle jargon translated into plain English. A radio sweeper is better known as a voice over mixed with sound and vocal effects and sung jingles are, of course, the full on musical radio station jingle productions you hear on many oldies stations.
Here’s a snapshot of the Isle of Wight weather on the afternoon before Walk the Wight 2012 for the Earl Mountbatten Hospice. Let’s hope it stays this way into tomorrow as I and many others will be scrambling up this hill from 6 o’clock Sunday morning. Good luck to all taking part in Walk the Wight 2012. Listen to the official coverage on Isle of Wight Radio. See you there!
