Segway Owner Rides Segway off Cliff, Dies
Sep 27th
In a bizarre freak accident, James Heselden, the miner-turned-entrepreneur who bought the Segway company late last year, rode a Segway off a cliff to his death. From the Telegraph:
Jimi Heselden, 62, plunged into the River Wharfe at a beauty spot close to his home on an estate in Boston Spa, near Wetherby, West Yorkshire. It is thought he lost control of one of the all-terrain versions of the machine as he travelled along a rutted bridleway close to his estate near Boston Spa, West Yorks, on Sunday morning. The narrow pathway is littered with tree roots and is rutted and uneven for most of its length, used mainly by walkers and ramblers.
After dropping from the bridleway, he is understood to have fallen 80ft over the overgrown cliff and his body was discovered in the river after a passer-by called the emergency services. Police said his body was recovered from the river but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Mr Heselden, a former miner who made a fortune developing a blast wall to protect troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, bought the Segway company in December last year….Mr Heselden, began his working life as a miner at the Temple Newsam and Lofthouse pits in the Yorkshire coalfields, but lost his job in the wave of redundancies that followed the miner’s strike of 1984.
Using his redundancy money he set up his own business, HESCO Bastion, manufacturing portable wire cages that can be filled with earth and sand. They were initially used to shore up canal banks, but the business really took off when it received orders from the military which used the cages as replacement sandbags to stop bullets, missiles and suicide bombers in combat zones. In the late 1990s the Pentagon alone bought more than £53 million worth of the flat pack walls for use in Iraq and later in Afghanistan.
Heselden was worth about £166 million, according to the Telegraph, making him one of the 400 richest people in the UK. He donated about £20 million to charity, much of it associated with his hometown of Leeds, where he was a popular community leader.
Irony-wise, Heselden’s accident was akin to Bernie Madoff suffocating in blank checks, or Donald Trump being electrocuted by a slot machine. But that doesn’t mitigate the tragedy and loss–condolences to anyone who knew him.

Attitude for Success
Sep 20th
Guest post by Cliff
It is a simple concept actually. Attitude. Success. To put it into a formula attitude = success. This is important for anyone wanting to have success in business. This can go for any type of business, but one in particular I am interested in talking about today is business online.
Your attitude can make or break your online business, no matter what type you may have. I am finding more and more people are turning to blogs and websites that deliver content in a certian niche to make their money. Your attitude is especially important when you are dealing with this type of business. The content business is picky. You do not really have time to slack. You have to research, write, and do it all over again.
Let me ask you something. What would you do if your business (website or blog) started to pick up and you actually started seeing some cash flow. Would you take a vacation to the Virgin Islands or would you take your mini success and build on it to help your business grow? If you said the second answer, you have the right mindset for building a successful online business that will not only bring you wealth quicker, but will allow you to enjoy that wealth long term.
There are many aspects of your attitude that matter. Work ethic and dedication are the most important. If you are the type of person who procrastinates, then you will have a problem in this business. Buyers, or your visitors, do not wait for you to decide when it is convienent for yourself to deliver to them. They will go elsewhere and often do for that type of person. Dedication is equally important. If you are not dedicated to what you do, how can you produce quality information. How can you really help other people with their problems. People shop for items, or browse the web for two reasons. To find answers and for entertainment. Most people browse for answers. Think about it. How many times a day do you type a question into Google? Probably many times an hour. So you have to deliver content and be dedicated so that the content that you deliver will be quality to help the “consumer” with their needs.
I hope this gave you some brain food to think on that will help you decide what type of attitude would be right for success. A good business person will make money with their business. A great business person will make money and grow their business. Thank you for reading.
