About the Author
.
Hello. I’m Jonny and I am the creator and owner of Thelifething.com. I have one over riding life philosophy and that is “that life should be an awesome adventure.” This blog is all about that adventure and some thoughts about how you can live it too.
The overriding mission of this blog is “to help people live more adventurous lives”
I write for love of Helping People, Inspiring People and Katie Holmes. I honed my somewhat unique writing style through my refusal to read for fear the words would attack me and borrowed my life philosophies from the local stray terrier but plan to give aspects of them back. If you want a bit more detail then check out my Bio, but here are three quirks of mine:
1. I read a book a week
2. I try to spend at least 3-6 months abroad a year.
3. I cofounded the Emergency Food company EmergencyFoodStorage.co.uk
I use what I can; design, humour and visualising unconventional concepts in order to help people and teach them how to expand their reality through topics on lifestyle design, entrepreneurism, productivity, generating wealth and improving social skills as well as a few others. (You will have to make your own mind up about my ability at humour.)
To Help 10,000 People To Come Alive.
Thelifething.com:
- Is about expanding your reality and getting the most out of life.
- Loosely Focuses on three core areas: Lifestyle Design, Business and Sexy Money
- Combines good advice, humour and high quality design to create an entertaining and above all valuable resource for its readers. (Ok, that last one sounded like a sales pitch, apologies)
Simply put it is about structuring a better life, building a better business and creating much more money, while having an awesome adventure to boot.
This blog is for people:
- Love adventure just as much as I do
- Want to get more out of life and live it on their own terms
- Wish to learn how to work smarter, more productively and more successfully
- Want to be entertained as well as to learn
- Believe they have a business inside them and it wants out
- Want to know why the rich are getting richer and how to become one of them
- Want to join a community of like minded individuals

Lifestyle Design – Living A Life Of Adventure
There is nothing worse than being ordinary and average, apart from perhaps cramp. Everyone has the possibility of being extraordinary and justly being deserving of this awesome gift of life. This site should help you lead a more adventurous life. Here are some articles to get you started:

Business – Empire Building One Step At A Time
The business and sexy money sections are a new and growing section to thelifething based on readers feedback. I currently have a few failed businesses as well as a few successful ones under my belt and here I share my insights, successes and failures along the way of building the empire. To get started check out:

Sexy Money – Developing An Every Increasingly Fat Wallet
I am not Rich yet, not by a long way, but I plan to be in the future. Wealth is just a formula and any formula can be learned/borrowed/stolen. I plan to become an expert in creating wealth and so I learn about the formula. I then take what I learn, repackage it with some decent design and visual imagery to be more applicable in life and then share it.
I currently am spending an entire year reading a book a week on Finance and the rules of acquiring wealth, by Christmas, I reckon I’ll be quite an authority. Here’s what I recommend to read so far:
How To Be Rich: Stage 1 – Understand What It Means To Be Truly Rich
How to be Rich Stage 2 – Dead Fish Economics for Super Wealthy Living
.
In Addition
I have picked up a thing or too in my time about relating to people and have had a 6 year long fascination with psychology. I take what I learn and have grounds tested from personal experience and give it to you. Simple. Some posts I reccommend:
Talking To Strangers Without Wetting Yourself
How To Be A Chocolate Coated, Sprinkle Covered, Irresistible Social Supermagnet

A little history about me.
I quit my boring ass but decidedly well paid Project Management job less than a year ago, started a emergency food company and left cloudy England to travel the world and live a more adventurous life. Take a look at what aDay and a Month looks like in my current lifestyle.
I have been incredibly fortunate in life and this site is my way of helping give something back, meet like minded individuals and explore creatively. I hope you stick around and get involved. I would recommend the top reads section over to the right to give you a flavour of how I write and see if it is for you. Alternatively you should download the free ebook “How Teux Keep Small Puppies Alive” which is the best of the site so far, reedited and sexed up.
Just so you are aware though, it has been scientifically proven that by reading and subscribing to this site on a regular basis has been scientifically proven to improve your attraction to the opposite sex. I am just saying, you can’t argue with science.
I hope you enjoy the site and will stick around. If you want to get a little more personal then check out the Contact Page.
