Hi there! I am Andrew Gray. You may have found my website by  following the link here to find out a bit about me and what made me make the decision to take a new direction in life. If so, you may find that my position echoes your own.

I have already had a career in a more traditional type of business and I have worked all the hours, including weekends. I have done my share of business development, setting up three or four companies before moving on to fresh fields and pastures new.

I started off in the oil business, working offshore on a rig. After a near-death experience that had nothing religious about it, I came onshore before, eventually, I found a job in an office and that became my main means of earning a livelihood for the next few years. I became a recruitment consultant!

You may think that that sounds like an ideal way of making a living, but it can be very hard work and pretty thankless, especially when people don’t take jobs or leave suddenly. The hours can be punishing too.

When I decided to make a life-altering change of direction, I took into account quality of life. I like to get away from my desk. I like to get out into the fresh air and have a good, long walk. I do a bit of exercise every now and then too. My particular form of relaxation is fencing. It’s a minority sport and tends to attract fairly sociable types who like nothing better than nattering away while we watch others battling away. It’s not as aggressive as you might think, but it is fast and certainly works up a good sweat. Great for shedding those unwanted pounds! That’s me below on the left, by the way, lunging at some poor unfortunate!

I am also very keen on doing things I enjoy, like most people.  I enjoy things that let me visit interesting places. If it’s got history, I’ll want to look around. I like the sun too, so a bit of travel doesn’t go amiss, though I can happily do so without any planes being involved! Here I am at a pre-Roman archaeological site in Majorca last October.

and here, standing beside a Pictish carved stone in rural Aberdeenshire.That’s snow on the hills in the background and there was a blizzard just starting when the photo was taken! Great weather for late April!

However, I don’t just spend my time fencing and going to see historical things, I’m pretty keen on cooking (and not just barbies, either!), so, if you like a decent boeuf bourgignon or something more exotic, like a decent rogan josh, I’m your man.

On a more sedentary basis, I listen to a wide range of music from Buddy Holly to Sisters of Mercy; Stan Getz to Billie Holiday; Del Shannon to Clarence “Frogman” Henry. I also collect old recordings – sound recordings from before 1900; movies from that era too. It’s really incredible to my mind to be able to hear a survivor of the Charge of the Light Brigade playing his trumpet or to hear Florence Nightingale speaking. I love old photos too; some taken in the 1840s when the world was a very different place!

After more years than I care to count working my fingers to the bone, paying the mortgage and bringing up the children, when our youngest headed off to university, I decided that the time had come to focus my attention on something really interesting; achieving complete self-sufficiency in income terms.

Let me tell you something about the ways that I have found of making an income on the internet; one of the most exciting developments in business ever made. To find out more, just click here:
