How To Be Successful?

April 2nd, 2009

And a few helpful quotes:

“Success is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration” Thomas Edison (I think Nicola Tesla would disagree)

“Good enough is good enough” - Unknown

and the productivity blueprint:

1) Put “to-do” thinks out of your head and onto paper. Then organise the “to-do” things like this:
2) If you have little jobs you can finish quickly, do them right away.
3)Break the big jobs down into little jobs you can finish quickly.

This stuff works if you have it printed in front of your face while you are working. Reminds you of the steps…

Do You Believe In The Law Of Attraction?

April 2nd, 2009

Confidence comes from doing and succeeding in small increments. Pat yourself on the back for even the smallest victory. Have a glass of wine, celebrate it and get peer praise. Just saying to yourself “I am confident”, “I am confident” is crazy and doesn’t work.

I used to believe that bullshit. Also “The secret” is pure bull. Law of attraction is called ACTION. Do something, try a lot of different models until one starts working for you. Refine it and expand it until circumstances change and it stops working. Tweak it to see if it would still work a bit differently, if not do the same again - try a lot of stuff and find one that is working…

I am trying to do this right now after a lot of waisted time on “law of attarction” shit. Action is the be all and end all of success on this earth.

Dont Be Afraid To Fail

April 2nd, 2009

Dont be afraid to fail. I hate failing more than anyone, it drives me nuts when I dont get things on the first try but I know with this I just have to get my hands dirty and learn by making mistakes. The important thing to remember here is unless you’re doing some hacking or porn thing that gets you major slapped by google (i seriously doubt these apply for you) then you wont ever screw up bad enough that you cant make it up later.

You Staying up too late?

April 2nd, 2009

Been going to sleep too late for years, unfortunately I have to cut back as my body is taking it quite bad lately. Rather go to bed at 10pm and wake up real early than stay up late.

I think we doubt ourselves too much and jump from one thing to another. Stick with what you know and refine it. Internet is a tough environment because it changes all the time and programs that used to work don’t any more and you have to find another way of doing things.

But would rather have that, then to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars into brink and mortar and hope I make some money.

Does It Make Sense To Move To Detroit?

April 2nd, 2009

A few quick ones (unrelated to online business)

1) Which suburbs in Detroit or sourrunding areas are decent suburbs and not dilapidated or full of crime to buy a foreclosed home in?

2) I have found one foreclosure specialist agent, but do you have any experience where to turn to (sites, agents) to start looking for a foreclosed home?

3) Are these homes attached to any continued debt payments for the old owner or do you buy free-and-clear? How high are the monthly or yearly fees(city fees, taxes, land tax, etc.) there approx.?

Time To Move On

April 2nd, 2009

Hi everyone I just wanted to make a bit of an announcement. I have been doing a lot of soul searching recently and have decided to take my online business in a new direction.

After reading all the comments on my recent, mis-guided Site Build It post I really think I need to change my business model. You see I really can’t keep up with people who can make 5 or 10 sites a day- I can barely do two. When I read Ken’s clear and comprehensive replies to my original SBI Review I realised that maybe this game is just not for me. You see I really want to have a website I can be proud of a website that lots of people will come back to and really add value to their browsing experience. A website with hundreds and hundreds of pages.
