Great Resources

Rather than dish of some indispensible nugget of wisdom (in my mind) that will have you bouncing out of bed every morning with the kind of enthusiasm you’d normally associate with Lindsay Lohan accepting a job on a Bolivian Coca farm, I want to break away from the norm today and give you the opportunity to read about some other great blogs and services that you may or may not be aware of.

I must stress that I don’t stand to make any affiliate money whatsoever, I just want to give some love back and spread the word. Corny, or what?

Wordprezzie – I think my blog is brilliant, seriously I do. Ok, maybe not always the content, but the layout and design are very cool imho.

3 people deserve the credit. Firstly, Tom Jelneck at On Target Web Solutions for doing the original site design and some great SEO work, and more recently, Nick and Hayley at Goburo for taking the site design and running it through to my blog. Both of those companies are a delight to work with and I can’t recommend either highly enough.

Nick has launched a new site called Wordprezzie this week (note for Americans; Prezzie is a slang word in the UK for present). Now people can buy Nicks fantastic designs off the shelf for a fraction of the cost of a bespoke WordPress blog.  Cor blimey guv’nor what a bargain!

If you have a blog that’s uglier than Wally the Worried Warthog, get yourself over to Wordprezzie and have it looking cuter than a pride of very cute lion cubs at a cuteness convention in no time at all.

GLCzone – This is the baby of KC that runs the DocInTheBiz blog. GLCzone is a meeting place for bloggers and readers of self-improvement blogs. She wants it to be the WebMD of all things self-development and self-improvement. If you have a blog that fits that description go and get it registered (it’s free). If you don’t have a blog, check it out anyway because there are loads of great resources and links to top blogs like mine, he says without any shred of humility.

Aliventures – There are a lot of great web design and copy-writing companies lurking all over the net that I could recommend. I’ve already mentioned Goburo and I could easily mention Men With Pens and Itty Biz too as companies that I have used and will do so again.

Ali Hale has recently had the guts to quit her boring 9 to 5 job and set up a business of her own doing the above ‘stuff’ I have known her for about 6 months (through The Office Diet) and she helped me a great deal with the editing of my e-book ‘Know Yourself – Change Yourself’ She’s a great person, a gifted writer and a pleasure to work with. I know she’ll be very successful and you have a chance to hire her whilst she’s finding her feet and charging crazily low rates.

Kitchen Table Medicine – This is a brilliant resource for all things alternative when it comes to health. What lends it real credibility and kudos is that owner and major contributor Doc Nicole, is a medical doctor. She’s not somebody that has read a couple of books on herbs, smokes lots of dope and wants to dispense debatable wisdom, she knows her onions and other vegetables too.

Whether you’re healthy and want to stay that way, or have some ailment that you’d like help with I’d recommend you search the archives. You’ll find a cornucopia (I’ve always wanted to use that word) of great information that you can put to beneficial and practical use.

Finally, for those of you that may have seen my post some while ago about doing a life coaching experiment. The latest installment by JEMi is now posted and you can see how she’s getting along with life coaching by clicking here.
