What is a linear mindset? It is a mindset according to Steve Pavlina

“The linear mindset is very common, especially in the Western world. We love to measure things and assign them grades and ratings. Which car is the most fuel-efficient this year? Is company X more profitable than it was last year? How fit and healthy am I?”

The limitation of this mindset is that it is hard to achieve the balance between self-acceptance and personal growth. Applying a linear mind set to achieve both will leads to conflict and disappointment. So what’s the solution?

As usual Steve came up with a wise and simple answer. Curious to findout then read his post at Self-Acceptance-vs-Personal-Growth. And I like to add, reading his post reminded me of a passage from the bible, here is the verse:-

“There are three things that last: faith, hope and love; and the greatest of these is love.” First letter of St Paul to the Corinthians 12:31-13:13

Further to my post on Overture Keyword tool , glad to know that it is still online and alive. Guess Yahoo heard the concern of the online community. On a seperate note, I just renewed my hosting and the domain name of this website for another year. This is the third time now since TSS gone online, looking back my very first post was on Febuary 2005. How much has we progress since our intention of working and making a living from home. This intention is now 3 years plus. Our online store is www.myfancyshop.com and www.myfancyshop-online.com are still going. The operatin now is taken over by my other half and she is doing rather well.

As for me I am continuing to pursue website building and moneytized them with adsense. The challenging part is getting traffic. Of the 7 sites that we have, 3 are obtaining traffic from search engines while the another two, I am buying traffic and applying arbitrage method to make an income. I started experimentating with arbitrage in August 2005 , it was on and off and most of the time it was breaking even or a little profit. All this time I know that there’s potential in the Arbitrage model and decided to study more about it. Hence in November 2006, with a change in strategy, it is now making a decent profit. Thus for 2007, I have decided concentrate on this model and to fine tune it.
