Showing up every day is hard, regardless of your field of endeavour. It may be writing or making music or making art or working in what society sees as an important or unimportant job. Doing that thing, the work, day in day out, with consistency and reliability is difficult. I signed up again-for the third… Continue reading Showing up every day is hard
I reached 14,002 YouTube subscribers yesterday
I am chuffed that I have now reached 14,002 YouTube subscribers on my YouTube channel. You might, if you did not know better, see this as some sort of vanity metric.

The ‘ranking by views’ metric was 1 of 10 and there were 16 comments, all of them positive and many asking for more videos of a similar nature.… Continue reading Massive interest in my shares videos

The monetisation of hope and greed
The monetisation of hope, desperation and greed is a powerful way to make a great deal of money. All you need to do is look at the various share trading/day trading scams being promoted online. Various YouTube channels and Instagram accounts have been spawned which claim to show the ordinary person how they can easily,… Continue reading The monetisation of hope and greed
