Recently it has been popular that people who are successful don’t have to work 5 plus days a week and work their fingers to the bone to achieve their goals. Working smarter, but not harder is the new way of doing things, so get on board and have some fun.

1. Focus

Keep the focus on your goals and where you are going, stop thinking about how you are traveling and what is in your way, instead keep your mind on what you are working towards and what it will be like to get there. Keep the focus on these goals and do every task with the knowledge that this task is taking you to your goal. You may also want to come up with short term goals to help yourself through each period.

2. Look After Yourself

You need to take the time to check in with yourself and make sure that you are balanced and focused. Take the time once a week or month to schedule some thinking time. Block everything out and spend some time working on yourself. Just like your car, you need to service yourself every now and then.

3. Work with yourself

You know what you are good at, what you need help with and what kind of things stress you. Make sure that your work is tailored for yourself. Therefore you need to spent more time doing the things you are good at, less time on the things that trouble you and the things that will cause stress. If you like working during the night, you should. Don’t try to do important things in a time of the day that isn’t your peak and so on.

4. Rewards

Take the time to reward yourself and take time for vacations. This is important but so is the idea of a mini break. This means that every hour, try to take 2 minutes to yourself. Just breath and refocus yourself.

5. Indulge your work space

If you are going to spend a lot of time in your work place, make sure that it suits you, the way you work and how you like to work. If you like bright colours around you, then put them in your work place. Make sure there is sufficient ventilation, clean air and pleasant sounds. Also make sure that your desk is organized and easy to move around.

6. Delegate or Outsource

You need not do everything yourself. If you have a small company it may be worth while outsourcing smaller work so that you can concentrate on your goals and focus. For instance you should work towards having an answering service, bookkeeper and perhaps even a virtual assistant.

The past few days here in New York City, the weather has been extremely upsetting and for someone who loves to observe and stare out the window once in a while, this is really not helping with lightning up the day.

Anyhow, glad weather is getting better and hopefully the rest of the week will sail by smoothly, and my condolences to all those affected by the shooting at Virginia Tech.

On a lighter note, here’s some pictures of Stacking Chairs.

If you have $9,000 to spend on chairs, take a look at: Here

Enjoy!

Fraud has always been a problem for the hosting industry and that’s also true for most online businesses that accept credit cards, paypal and so on. Lately we’ve been receiving more and more fraud orders especially from Nigeria and Vietnam, since then we’ve put fraud detection system in our new billing system as well as manual scans of our orders daily.

The main reason for writing this rant is we’ve received couple incidents described below:

1) Fraud user signs up using Fake/Stolen Credit Card Number and Address
2) Order gets rejected by our system
3) Fraud user sends us emails and chats with us regarding their order. (Acts suprised)
4) Fraud user tries to get us to activate their order, they even give us their number to verify & call. (victim from the US usually)
5) Order rejected!

Below is some statistics of the fraudguardian system regarding fraud orders.

Fraud orders from the countries below (statistics, Guinea placing most fraud, pakistan being #10):

#1- Guinea
Nigeria
Chad
Anonymous Proxy
Macedonia The Former Yugoslav Republic of
Ghana
