Welcome to a worry free zone – at least I am making every effort and surrounding myself with positive people.
Adam Eason in his weekly Adam Up Ezine throughout September has been writing about ‘worry’ and how to avoid it or at least keep it in check. And now today a favourite person of mine – Carol Bentley – in her blog is singing from the same hymn book.

Thank goodness for entrepreneurs as they seem to be the only people who have an optimistic thought in their head. At the best of times we seem to be surrounded wherever we go with negative people – fed thoughts and opinions by a negative press – fed by dreary miserable journalists – who seem to spend their days making sure they seek out the most depressing things on earth to report about.
Far be it for me to belittle the awful things and situations that go on in the world. Much of it can bring me to tears – HOWEVER – a sense of perspective is called for. Be concerned and help where you can (eg give to charities or help in some practical way) but don’t worry as that is totally wasted emotion. You can’t change tyrants in power or the overall economy so why worry about it.
If you have to worry – worry about the things you can do something about – and even then you don’t need to worry because you can darned well take appropriate action to change things.
Here is one of my favourite quotes:
The Serenity Prayer -
’(God) Give me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference between the two.’ Reinhold Niebuhr.
In the last 24 hours I have heard a few positive voices amid all the gloom – and in every case they are people who are in control of what they do. They have a positive mindset and will let nothing get in the way of their goals. Entrepreneurs each and every one of them – famous and not so famous.
Will the last standing Entrepreneur please turn off the light.
About Keith Watson
Hi - I am Keith Watson.
This blog is dedicated to Banger - a teacher from my teenage years who - at least once a week - insisted upon cracking the hilarious - and I have to say - never heard before line "What's on Watson?".
I would smile demurely - the rest of the class would fall about with sides aching - and life would go on for another week.
'Wats-on My Mind' I have decided will assist me personally as well as be of interest to others (I hope) who share my challenges. It will help keep me organised and document my activities so that I know what I did yesterday.
You think I am joking!!
I have been in the website development game since 1993 and have been involved with over 2000 website builds (with the help of my fantastic team of freelance programmers)
It was only in the last two years though that I have moved over to making money for myself on line and in particular linking up with an amazing talent called Adam Eason to produce and distribute self help and hypnotherapy products.
As a result of looking to promote these products I have downloaded hundreds of internet marketing articles and e-books, studied countless reports, tested list building tactics, butterflied, boot-camped, buzzed, adsensed, affiliated, met a jerk, jv'ed, plr given-awayed, and generally suffered from information overload.
My computer - presumably in a fit of pique or simply demanding a holiday has given up the ghost on at least two occassions - causing me even more stress.
Oh this simple business of making money online.
BUT the great news is that it is all working and our list has grown - I have found some gurus I have complete faith in - and Adam and I are actually making money from our endeavours.
Some way to go but I am more relaxed and can spot a phoney over hyped, sexed up, must have latest product which you must either buy or if not, simply fade into oblivion. There’s not room on this Internet for the two of us.
This ramble of an introduction is really to set the scene for I am sure an interesting journey which I invite you to join. In fact I want you to help me find the right tools, scripts, plugins etc. etc, that will catapult me into the stratosphere of success. I hope you will be there with me.
I don't just consider success in a monetary sense. I so want to help some friends of mine who are involved in Christian missionary work in some pretty harrowing parts of this world. If I can bring any help to their missions that will give me more satisfaction than anything else.
I really, really do love this web stuff and the people you meet. I am convinced that this powerful technology can be harnessed to do some good.
