It’s Time for a New Face, and a New Journey
I’ve been wondering how to write this post for almost three months now. There is something important that I want to say to you all, but I also want to say “Hey, stay, keep reading” after I’ve said it, because I have a lot of things I want to explain. I try not to ramble in my posts, so I’ll just come out and say it: I’m no longer the owner of PluginID.
Don’t be too alarmed though; I haven’t owned the site for three months, and not much has changed around here. A product has been launched, posts have been written and I’m still far too active on Twitter.

Merry Christmas from PluginID
Just a very quick post today as I’m sure you’re all spending time with family and disinterested in the internet world. I just wanted to say a quick thank you and wish you a merry Christmas from the team here at PluginID (that’s myself and Bud).
The community here has grown massively in a year: from 700 subscribers to almost 6,000. I can’t thank all of you enough for your support in terms of links, retweets, comments and even just eyeballs. I can see already that next year is going to be special.

Reality Switch Is Here!
It has been almost 10 weeks of hard work but that all ends now as Reality Switch is here and ready for purchase. I have not been alone on this project, it is in fact co-authored by my friend and very talented marketer Bud Hennekes.
Reality Switch is our guide which helps you get from where you are in your life right now, to where you want to be. It’s about completely transforming yourself both internally and externally to have what you want in the right balance.
It comes from my own story of quitting my job and travelling the world and now being able to live anywhere and Bud’s of travelling throughout America and Asia while dealing with personal travesties along the way and now finding himself more successful than ever.
If you have previously purchased Cloud Living then this book is a perfect addition to that. This book is very much about the mindsets, success traits and characteristics we’ve found in each other and the multiple millionaires we speak to on a daily basis. This book, is a book of pure success.
Reality Switch Contents
This is one of my proudest achievements in the short time I’ve been on earth and I’m very happy with the result. At 126 pages, this guide is absolutely packed with no-nonsense advice to help you get your life in track.
The guide comes in eBook (PDF) format which you can open with Adobe Acrobat Reader (free download). More specifically, it contains:
- 126-page eBook
- 2 excellent interviews
- Over 10 stories of successful reality switching
- 100% Free Email Support
As you can probably tell, this wasn’t just some project that was put together in a rush. I’ve spent countless hours on this and the finished result contains everything you need to know about how to take your life from where you are not to where you want to be.
Buy Reality Switch Now for $37!

Project Amsterdam: 2 Years in 2 Weeks (+ Video)
I found myself browsing around on Facebook yesterday which is probably because I’m coming to the end of my 6 week challenge. I noticed under my profile picture the ‘Videos of you’ section and decided to click on it to refresh my memory about what is there. The first video was of myself and a friend, Candice, in a bar not long after I arrived in South Africa.
I remember this night so perfectly, as if it was last week, and was completely shocked to see it dated: November 2007. Knowing it has been two years since that video was taken makes me realise how fast life can fly by without us even noticing and how the next two years will be pretty much the same.

I Have a Dilemma, And Would Love Your Thoughts
I think only the most egotistical people in the world would say that they never have problems. Contrary to that, I’m more than happy to discuss mine. My thoughts here aren’t really about a problem that I have but more about a situation that has arose.
When I attended Pam Slim’s workshop this weekend, what I noticed is that I don’t have a clear focus with the business properties that I run. Sure, there were people there with lots of business ideas, but they all seemed to have a clear focus on each.

Challenge Update #2 (And My 4 Days in London)
I rarely ever miss posting on a Monday, but I have a good excuse. I’m writing this from my hotel, drinking brandy and coke (which is ridiculously strong. The girl who poured it is foreign and can’t believe people mix the two) and feeling absolutely shattered. I would have gone to the pub but quite honestly, I can’t be bothered to walk.
Judging by that intro, you can tell I have broken my challenge. I went two weeks and one day without touching a drop of alcohol, but meeting friends that I haven’t seen in 9 months turned things around. I will go back to my no drinking after today.

How I Operate Online (A.K.A My First Video)
Hey guys, today I’m pretty excited to share my first ever video. I actually hadn’t planned on doing one but my Macbook Pro arrived a couple of days ago so I wanted to test out Screenflow (I normally use Camtasia, for Windows).
The video covers which software I use on my computer and how I set-up my web browser for my online projects. If you’re not a blogger or don’t care much for making money online, you might want to skip this post. For everyone else, I hope you enjoy it.

Breaking Free: Challenge Update #1
I’m currently on day 8 of my challenge to remove all of the restraints and time wasters in my life (television, IM, idle web surfing, alcohol etc) and I have to say, things are going very well. I’m finally happy with what I’m managing to get done each day and my productivity is through the roof.
I actually can’t believe it has been over a week already. It seems only yesterday that I wrote the original blog post. If the following five weeks go this fast, this challenge could turn out to be a lot easier than I expected.

Give Me 2 Minutes, And I’ll Give You a Better PluginID
Hey guys, I hope you’re all having a fantastic Sunday / Monday. Just a quick post from me today which is mostly a request. I would appreciate for anyone who has two minutes spare to take some time out and answer this three question survey.
I had the idea of doing a reader survey thanks to this post by Chris Guillebeau, and thought that it would be a great idea to see what you all really think of the site. I’ve never done anything like this before, so I’m very interested to see what insights and ideas the feedback gives me.

Ask Me Anything For the Next 24 Hours
When I first decided I was going to try and make a living online, I knew that I wanted to focus on creating passive income rather than income which was directly related to how much I worked. It was important to me that I didn’t just create an online job for myself, but a business which doesn’t require me to be around at all times, and still makes money.
Because of that, PluginID is pretty much the only site I run where I have to deal with people. It’s certainly not a chore though; I love it. With that being said, despite how many sites and services I run, I really don’t have to deal with emails or support all that much.
