My Home Office [PIC]
For fun on this post, I thought I’d take you on a tour of my home office as it currently stands. As some of you might know, I will be moving to my permanent home/ office towards the end of the year. I am moving to a penthouse apartment on the 45th floor at K-Residence (SWEET!). It’s almost ready. I am currently going through the renovation plans with my interior designer.
In the meantime, this is where I work from (unless I am at Starbucks) or travelling:
- This is my “Brain Wall”. I always create “mind maps” while I am brainstorming as well as when I am in the process of creating a project. It seems to be the only thing that works well for me.
- My 17″ MacBook Pro. Awesome machine. I run both Mac and Windows on it. I generate my own graphics, videos and audios. What can I say - its the perfect computer for me.
- Affiliate Checks. Most of my online income is transfered online but I do get checks from Aweber, the Affiliate Center, Google Adsense and Clickbank.
- 17″ External Monitor. I use an external monitor rotated to Portrait size mostly to read eBooks and I do read A LOT of eBooks so its much easier this way.
- Internet Courses. I spend about $5k to $10k per year on books, seminars and courses. Having the latest knowledge is the most important asset in my business.
- Reading/ Work Desk. Currently reading Perry Marshall’s Definitive Guide to Adwords. I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve not used Adwords at all in my online business. I’m still not entirely convinced if it will help me in my online business. Seems to be too much competition for my niche markets on Adwords.
If you work from home too, I’m curious to know what your set up looks like. Post a link as a comment on this post if you care to share.

Looks like a very well organised office Brian, a lot better than mine.
Adwords can be an awesome tool if used in the right way. It is very ‘targetted marketing. We have had great success with it. I must read Perry Marshalls book, there are so many features to adwords that the average user doesn’t even know about.
BTW. Whats the view like out your window?

I agree with you Richie. The key is to keep learning by doing! (my new motto). I will update this blog with my Adwords experiments.
Here’s a link to a pic of my current view:

Here’s a video of my “future” view:

Awesome Brian. I love your attitude.
I can ’see’ my future view also, (very different to yours) but I haven’t taken a video of it like you.
This I will do, I think it’s a fantastic idea.
I agree with your ‘doing’ motto. Although I am also learning more about planning when owning a business. I have had my own businesses for over 5 years now and have learn t an amazing amount. I have done (tried) so many things (failures and successes), but I am starting to think that planning (strategically) and researching exactly what customers want first (and how they want it), BEFORE DOING, can make a huge difference. But I suppose even though we can plan and have specific goals, we must test different ways to reach that goal.
I’m still learning. (and always will be!)

Hey Richie,
Please share your future view too! I am guessing but I think yours involves a beach - yes? :) I would love to see it. Send my regards to Winsome!
Thanks Brian, You are correct, the future view from our house sweeps across a beautiful beach surrounded by the Australian bush. I keep a vision board both on my computer as well as in the bathroom. I’m not sure how I would put it online to view, perhaps I need to take a photo of it.
I will certainly say hi to Winsome for you.
Cheers,
Richie.
