I still am.
My cough just doesn&#8217;t want to shift at all and I&#8217;m rattling more than an old jalopy&#8230; I&#8217;ve had more than just a cold &#8211; stomach problems but, really folks, let&#8217;s not go there!

It&#8217;s been one of those periods where it&#8217;s been necessary to take a step back, re-assess the current situation and re-double my efforts. Admittedly, not much has really been done this last week. Not for the lack of trying. Or the lack of enthusiasm. Sometimes the universe just delivers a whole [...]]]></description>

		<itunes:summary>[singlepic=2,150,150,,left] Knowledge Constructs is back. Or should I say "I'm back"? Better, stronger and more focused than ever. Coming back from Rich Schefren's Accelerate seminar has definitely had a positive impact in my state of mind. But it's not been as easy moving forward as I'd imagined...

You may have noticed the change to the site design. What you won't have notice is the change in Attitude. Yet. Keep reading...

There's going to be some big changes round here - so you better get with it or Get Off My Blog!

Let me just say, this post you're about to read is definitely NSFW (And if you don't know what that means, GIMF!). No more G or PG rating. It's time to take off the gloves and pull no punches...

For the first time in my life I feel confident enough to speak (write?) with my own voice. For the first time, I've started realising who I am. What I've been projecting hasn't played to my strengths. And for the first time, I've come to know that my real strength is in my Attitude.

In short - I've had enough.

It's time for me to be me. To be real. To be myself again...

No more pretending to be someone that I'm not. No more masquerading behind some "wannabe" corporate style crap faccedil;ade trying to portray a certain image. No more bullshit.

I'm going to be doing things *my way* from now on...

Why'd you think I'm junking the old site design?

This new KC theme  is super-SEO'd. Go ahead and check the source. Remove the styles and switch off the Javascript. It'll still render just fine because it's all about the strength in the foundation. The data architecture is based on the original Kubrick theme - all the content heads up to the top and the unimportant menu stuff is at the bottom. The plugins supporting this theme have been researched and only the best chosen. Meta tags, keywords, descriptions, page titles and even the "more" tag's are customisable thanks to some really cool plugins. The theme is CSS-Hardcore with a certain style of images to match. Even with the Flash titles it's optimised to be good for the search engines as it uses sIFR technology. And again, if you don't know what that it is - GIMF!

And what I'll tell you right now is - I'm not a designer but I do have an eye for good design. Each piece of this site was created by me in the spare time I've had between jobs. Buttons, backgrounds - you name it... custom built to suit this theme.

So much for finding a good theme designer/developer "If you want a job done right..." ;)

This new theme really does kick ass - don't worry, I'll be doing a site case study/breakdown in my new upcoming video tutorials very soon. And unlike other themes, because it's based on Kubrick, there's a higher chance it'll work with most plugins out there and not break. Like I say, I'll be showing you all that very soon.

So why the change in Attitude? And why now?

Well, this past year has been hard. To say the least. I quit "the Dilbert cube" nearly a year ago and discovered this thing called Internet Marketing. Looking to build a business but initially having no purpose or direction was definitely a frustrating time.

While I've learnt a lot and gained insights about marketing and building a business, I've also lost a lot too. Like when my wife left earlier this year - damn! Didn't see that coming... Or when I got screwed over working with someone on a project some months back. Time wasted/money lost. And now there's more money going out than coming in. Man, these are harsh lessons but I'm aiming to "fail fast" and "keep moving forward".

Even though my marriage is no more, I'm now getting close to zero on the finances and I only see my kids 3 times a week now - I have to say it's been the best year of my life.

Now you think I'm crazy...

Not at all. It's about Attitude. It's about PMA. It's about "reframing" and ultimately it's about me rebuilding the foundations of my life.

I think Bad Brains said it the best:
 Don't care w...</itunes:summary>
