Quick question for you… As we head towards 2026, I want to make sure the training, guides, and support I create are exactly what you need — not what I think you need. So I’ve put together a short questionnaire asking what you’d most like help with to make 2026 more successful for you. Nothing complicated. Just practical questions about where you’re feeling stuck, what you’d like to learn, and what would genuinely make a difference for you. Here’s the important bit… Everyone who completes the questionnaire will receive a brand-new piece of training, created specifically for you from your responses, and I’ll email it directly to you. There’s a space at the bottom of the form to add your email address so I know where to send it. A few reassurances (because this matters): - All responses are private and confidential - I won’t share personal details with anyone - Your answers help guide future content, but no individual information will ever be shared This is your chance to influence what I create next — and make sure it’s genuinely useful to you. This is your group and your opportunity to drive what we include here. The more members get involved the more value you will get from it. Thank you in advance for taking a few minutes to fill it in. It's mostly just multiple-choice tick boxes so won't take long to complete. Your input really does matter and will shape what comes next. Here's the link to the questionnaire

Hello everyone! I am glad to be here with like minded folks and I think that is so beneficial and necessary for our generation to encourage and help one another through the season of life that we are in. Its such a great way to do that and not just look at words on a screen as we scroll. So excited about the new year and can't wait to see what God does in our lives. Blessings!

I’m sure you have heard people, including me, say that the way to ensure a stable income is to have multiple streams of income all running sending money into your bank account. This idea was first explained by Robert G Allen in his best selling book, ‘Multiple Streams of Income’. When you have multiple streams of income you’re not reliant on one source. If one of your sites is de-listed by Google, for example, you still have several other income sources bringing in money so the impact of losing that site is reduced. On that basis then it is sensible to have as many sources of income as possible because each source you put in place reduces the contribution that each one makes to your entire earnings. So why am I saying that multiple streams of income can be in some way a mistake? Let me explain. What I see all the time is people taking that piece of advice, creating multiple streams, and implementing them in the wrong way. How do they do it wrong? Let’s look at the process for creating a niche income. The first stage in the process is research. We look for possible profitable niches by brainstorming ideas. There are many ways to do this, including checking through the magazine rack for hobby ideas that can provide niches, research on Amazon for popular book/product titles, check out Google trends, Ebay pulse, prompt AI for ideas - there are lots of ways that I don’t have space to go into here. If you would like more help in this area post me a comment below and we can start a discussion about it. As we do our research we compile a list of interesting niche topics in a notepad file or similar ready to start creating our niche sites. What lots of people do then is pick several of these topics, generate a bunch of keywords for each using the Google keyword tool or AI now and start creating a niche site for each one. More often than not these days that means putting together a WordPress site, adding all of the plugins needed, sorting out the right widgets, optimising the site for the search engines possibly using all-in-one-seo or Yoast, writing or getting written some content for them, adding an email capture form etc.

I wish everyone a happy holiday season however you celebrate it and a healthy, happy and prosperous 2026. Thank you for joining me on this exciting journey as we help and support each other. Kind regards, Trevor

It was the mid 1970’s. I was a young supervisor in an engineering factory and had around 40 or 50 employees in my department – mostly men. I remember one occasion like it was yesterday and it’s stuck with me ever since. It was a Friday afternoon and the guys, on the morning shift were just finishing up. We had arranged a little presentation for one of the guys, Ken, because he was retiring that day. Back in those days you were forced to retire when you reached 65. There was no opportunity to carry on working for a few extra years if you enjoyed your job like you can today. Anyway, I had gone round mine and other departments making a small collection plus persuaded management to chip in and bought him a pocked watch as a leaving present. We all gathered round my office and I presented Ken with his pocket watch thanking him for all his hard work and wishing him a happy retirement. Everyone clapped enthusiastically amidst shouts of Speech! Speech! Ken was not a great speaker, like many of the factory workers, especially in front of all his work mates – down the pub, yes but not in the factory. What Ken said in the few words that followed shocked me and have stayed with me ever since. “Thank you all for this very kind present, I really wasn’t expecting anything - so thank you. “I’ve enjoyed working here all of these years and am sad to go. Well, I guess that’s it now then, it’s all over.” At that point he said his individual goodbyes and left. I had a little chat with him and it seemed like he considered his life was over. He had no hobbies and wasn’t looking forward to life without work. It was like he was going away to wait to die and that made a major impression on me. I’ve never forgotten it. Now that was a time when the life expectancy, especially for men was much shorter than it is now but how sad to think that retirement meant dying soon. That incident taught me two main lessons. 1. Enjoy every day of your life to the fullest 2. Consider the second half of your life as the start of something new and exciting – and plan for it.
