Well the hard lessons continue this week. As you may know, we have been flat out for the last few weeks totally rebuilding our main income-producing web sites from scratch. If this is news to you, you can hear all about it over here.

It’s like Backyard Blitz but with a computer

Have you ever seen the “reality” TV show Backyard Blitz? Maybe in your country they have something similar but under a different name.  You know the drill…A family or similar are sent away for a weekend on some pretence while a cast of attractive and resourceful workers move in to totally make-over their backyard (or home or similar).

The tension mounts towards the end of the show because the team (the attractive and resourceful ones) are running out of time and the unsuspecting home owners are letting themselves in through the front door while the last pallet load of pavers is unloaded out the back.

How awful would it be if the truck with the last pavers didn’t turn up and the cast had the embarrassment of showing the returning tenants a half-finished job with a pile of mess in the yard? The suspense builds but the attractive and resourceful ones  never lose their cool. They still have time to joke and it all comes together in the end

That’s what it’s been like at Wonderful Web HQ. Read more

phoenixIt’s been an amazing couple of weeks. Not only have we had the challenge of totally rebuilding the 2 web sites which are the basis of our entire business, we have taken on the extra challenge (opportunity?) to stop and take a good look at our business. I figure if I need to rebuild, why not come back with something better?

I will be sharing a lot of this process with you over the next few weeks and my wonderful gold members who have stuck with me through the last few weeks will be showered with gifts of gratitude :)

Let me give you a quick update on the rising of The Phoenix:

If this is all news to you, check out the blog post that started it all.

Often great opportunities come disguised as disasters. As disasters go, I’m in the middle of a huge one!

You see, this week all my major money-making sites disappeared overnight. Gone! I could very easily be out of business. You can find out how this happened and how the exact same thing could happen to you in my blog post from yesterday.

I came very, very close to just quitting. But then I started to see the opportunities. Dawn , one of the wonderful people who sent messages of support yesterday, made the comment “Bravo to you Janet for turning lemons into lemonade”. That’s when  I thought “why stop at lemonade when you can make a Margarita!”

So that’s what I’m doing. I’m mixing a mean Margarita and invite you to join in.

margaritaThis is the opportunity I see. Sure, Wonderful Web Women has disappeared but that just gives me a clean canvas to create something beautiful with. Can you help me create a strong and beautiful Phoenix from the ashes of this Internet nightmare? Lets create the dream online community and come back even better than before.

This is how you can help. I’d like to know what is in YOUR dream online community. To make it easy, I have put together a short survey so you can have input into what YOU want.

What’s a Margarita party without prizes?

To thank you for your help, you can also choose at the end of the survey to enter the draw to win a LIFETIME membership to the new bright and shiny Wonderful Web Women. There will be one prize drawn and it could be you.

Thanks so much for your help. You can fill out the survey here:

i-quit“I Quit”!
That’s what I whispered as I sat sobbing in front of my computer screen 2 days ago.
Has this ever happened to you? Go on, it can’t just be me…..

I’ll tell you in a moment what drove me to that decision but first let me tell you what happened next.

Once I admitted defeat I decided that the next step was to look for a job. I didn’t want this responsibility any more. Then I started visualising what it would be like to work for someone else instead of myself. Stress free! Well, maybe not. But then I’d get bored. I know I would. I’d start telling my employer how to run their business.
I’d miss my customers, they’re part of my life now. I couldn’t duck down to the beach when I wanted to. I couldn’t be in charge of my own destiny.

Drat. I can’t quit.

What happened (this could happen to you)

3 days ago, on Sunday (Australia time) we discovered that all our major money-making web sites had disappeared. This is scary but not usually permanent. The server that hosts our websites had crashed.

If this happens to you, simply Read more

How did she do it? She applied the principles that she talks about in her novel, The Mastery Club, a book that is empowering kids around the world to start up their own Mastery Clubs. Liliane’s mission is to inspire others to believe in themselves, follow their hearts and trust in universal laws…
