News: Lightstate get bought by Buy.at
So the news I promised I'd be posting about in my last Blog post.
buy.at, the UK’s largest independent affiliate marketing network, has acquired online lead generation provider Lightstate in order to access its market leading technology and experienced management team and expand buy.at’s offering to both its clients and affiliates.
The last 12 months have been pretty hectic with building this business upto become a market leader, and it's nice to get some recognition when you get bought out by a Big player.
I would however like to say that I only deserve a part of the credit, the real hard work was done by my team, especially JP Jones (Technology) and Riz Wasti (Finance), these 2 guys both left their secure jobs to come and participate in my master plan, and have worked day and night ever since then.
One lesson I have learnt on this project, It's all about the PEOPLE and Execution, Ideas are a plenty, but it's the people and the execution that actually matter.
Anyway back to work now, and I hope to blog once in a while on here.

What happened to this Blog
OK so it's ages since I last posted here, but as always I have some good excuses :)
a, I moved back to London last summer (2006)
b, Been busy running a new business which has gone from a simple idea to a multi million $ turnover business in less than 12 months.
c, I just came back from a weekend in Shanghai hence I thought I should post as a few people asked me about Chinawhite.
Anyway do keep an eye on the blog over the next few days as I will be announcing something pretty big :)
