I know at the start of the year I set a goal to travel less in 2009. However, something came up and now I’m off on an one month long trip to China that will take me to Shanghai, Guangzhou, Punyu and Hong Kong. One of the coolest thing about making money online is I can do it from anywhere in the world and this is a good way to demonstrate that fact.
The news of my Asia trip seem to have spread through the Net and Twitter and I’ve been getting dinner invites and meet up requests from some of my Chinese readers. I am looking forward to seeing all of you. If you would like to meet up in any of the places I’ll be visiting, give me a shout on Twitter.
The highlight of this trip will be a visit back to the town where I was born. I will be taking you to the very house where I grew up. You can consider this part 2 of my You Are Already Rich post. My hope is once you see the background where I came from, you’ll appreciate what you truly have and will no longer listen to any excuse for not succeeding in anything you do.

One of the most common complaint (or excuse) I hear from potential new bloggers is they don’t know how to install WordPress. Terms like FTP and CPanel are like a foreign language and setting up a database might as well be setting up the space shuttle for a launch. Because of the technology barrier, many would-be bloggers never start their blogs...

Good luck John,
There are a lot of amazing opportunities out there. You are becoming a truly global brand!
See you in Hong Kong!
I just went over looking for opportunities to guest post in one of my recent articles in the Building A More Successful Blog In 30 Days series I’m doing at my blog.
This looks like that perfect opportunity. I’ll work on a little something for you, and I’ll let my readers participating in the program know as well.
Wow, that’s great John.
Hope your internet doesn’t get censored
Funny too, because I was about to send you a guest post anyways.

John,
Have a great trip! That sounds awesome. The house I was raised in was burned down some years ago, but my hometown still has fond memories for me.
I will email my post to you today, and thank you for the opportunity to assist.
