The Entrepreneurial Life of Stephen Mitchell
Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Live Better.
Like many entrepreneurial types, I slide easily into despondency when things don’t pan out as hoped, and self-pity can creep in fast. I don’t smoke or drink much, so music has become my chosen distraction from the harder parts of the day. When I play these tracks, I feel energised and focused - typing faster,... Continue Reading →
There would not be many presidents of the USA that would inspire the voters, singers, artists and writers to collaborate and participate in a video clip that incorporates the words used in Barack Obama's opening speech made straight after winning his election. This amazingly produced song-clip not only tells us that the general population have... Continue Reading →
I heard an interesting quote today from a female in her 20's. "We're not stupid, we just don't produce. We are generation-Z." It took me a minute to comprehend what she might have meant by this, and came to this conclusion: The current generation of younglings are too young to breed, therefore are not adding...

The popularity of both totally amazes me, though not because I don't like them, far from it -- I know of many people who have either purchased... Continue Reading →
Darren Rowse is a fellow Australian blogger who began blogging in 2002, and is best known for his blog ProBlogger.net. I have been reading his articles since 2004. I love his article 10 part series to invigorate blogs. It reminds me that whilst I might write a lot, it doesn't help if I don't publish... Continue Reading →
I finally made it to my FIRST MeetUp. The Adelaide Bloggers took over the back room at a local restaurant, one which I've seen a few thousand times from the passenger-seat of a car and bus. But this was the first time we'd stepped inside the doors, let alone looked in the window. I walked... Continue Reading →
Finally got me a new fancy Apple iPOD Touch, the iTouch. I got the t-shirt awhile ago, and it took me 6 weeks to squirrel away the funds for the real thing. Around 5.00am yesterday morning I finally got it all worked out, all the amazing functions, attributes, finger-controls, and particularly, that iTunes is only... Continue Reading →
