This short book shares all the secrets, stories, information and techniques that allowed us to leave our 'real jobs' over 10 years ago, to earn more than we did before, to pay off the mortgage 25 years ahead of time, to reach thousands of people all over the world, and work a very-few-hour workweek so we could pursue other dreams as well.It can make a huge difference to your potential success, to how much money you can make, to how long your business will last, and to how much free time you can have.This is really four inspiring books in one. Firstly, it's the fun story of how a successful podcasting business with over 31 million downloads began from a ten minute conversation in Spanish, secondly, it's inspiration on how to get a project off the ground right now, thirdly, it's an internet marketing manual, and finally, it's a philosophy of life.It's the advice I give to close friends when they ask how to set up something similar to our online business, how to make more money at what you are already doing online, even how to decide what to get going in the first place, and how and when to start. It's everything that has led us to be our own bosses, and have some of the best fun of our lives.
The booming coal industry of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was the main reason behind the creation of modern south Wales and its miners were central to shaping the economics, politics and society of south Wales during the twentieth century. This book explores the history of these miners between 1964 and 1985, covering the concerted run-down of the coal industry under the Wilson government, the growth of miners’ resistance, and the eventual defeat of the epic strike of 1984-5. Their interactions with the wider trade union movement and society during these years meant the miners were amongst the most important strategically-located sections of the British workforce during this time. The South Wales Miners is the first full-length academic study of the miners and their union in the later twentieth century, in a tumultuous period of crisis and struggle.
