Bio

Inspired by Tim Ferriss, Michael E. Gerber, Robert T Kiyosaki with regards work and earning a living.

We built iControlWP WordPress Management to fix a real need in the quickly growing WordPress market – Worpit aspires to be the first and last place you’ll ever go to do any and all related WordPress administration work across your whole network. Find me on Twitter.

Interests

Thinking of new business ideas that I have absolutely no time implement – my favourite past-time. I enjoy photography, self-improvement and writing, photography when time permits, and of course travelling!
