Choosing an internet business is difficult. This site has evolved several times – partly because I’ve lost interest in the ideas I’ve had and partly because of the “bright, shiny object” syndrome. On the internet, bright new ideas and products are plentiful and developed so fast it’s almost a blur. What seems like a good idea one day, is old news the next.

So where is the best place to spend your time?

Some say it’s in a place that you already enjoy. Some say you can learn to enjoy wherever you are. Some say, it’s a business, it doesn’t matter if you enjoy it or not.

Chris Garrett has a course called “Make More Progress“. What I took away from this course is that it’s not what you do, but how you do it. It’s progress that peaks your interest and spurs you on – even more than enjoyment in something. Some progress, any progress – because without it, enjoyment wanes.

One of Chris’s suggestions, the “minimum viable product”, was advice I had never heard before – which was not only refreshing, but also made perfect progress-making sense. Can’t tell you more because it’s not mine to tell.

Spend time on making things happen.

I think the trick is to fill your business full of it’s own bright, shiny objects so you don’t have to go looking elsewhere. Which is what I’m going to do – just as soon as I reinvent this site again!

Make it work! (as Tim Gunn would say)
