Never Stop Testing and Tweaking
This is a BIG one that I’ve been VERY guilty of in the past. Consider this scenario… Your business is humming along, you’re making a solid profit. So you get lazy, you let things run on autopilot. Then one day you wake up 6 months later and you realize your profits are down by over [...]
Gotta Learn How to Lose, Before You Can Win
That’s right. You MUST learn how to lose, BEFORE you can learn how to win! I recently started doing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Needless to say it’s BRUTAL, especially when you’re first starting out. After getting my ass kicked a bunch of times, I was discouraged. My instructor, Alex, told me to not to worry. Every [...]
How Many Elves are Working for You?
I want to do a quick post on something REALLY important. For about a month or 2 I found myself getting caught up in the drudgery of my business. I know, I talk endless about outsourcing and building systems but it’s often easy to forget that, and get in the mindset: “I need to this [...]
Everything is Think You know about Health is WRONG
OK, Paleo maybe too much for most people, so in this post I want to give some general health advice. WARNING: This may go against everything you’ve been lead to believe about health. Before I get started lemme just tell you that Shilpi and I have tried everything under the sun as far as eating: [...]
Eat Like a Caveman
That’s right, I eat like a caveman! I told you in an earlier post that I had some health problems, and that I had to radically change my diet. I now follow something called a paleo diet. What the heck is that? It’s eating (or at least close to) the way our paleolithic ancestors eat [...]
Incremental or Instant Success?
When a lot of people think of major success they imagine a big real estate deal or a multi-million dollar product launch. That is, they think of a huge success as something that happens FAST. BIG MISTAKE! Here’s the reality: Success is incremental. Imagine a someone building up a website or a business over several [...]
Stop Thinking in Terms of ‘Averages’
Ever tell your friends and family about your new online business venture and they say something like: “What percentage of people succeed in that?” “What does the average person doing that business make?” “You gotta be realistic. Only a very small percentage of people doing that type of business make any real money.” Sound familiar? [...]
Short Term Pain, Long Term Gain
I know, I haven’t posted in a while. There’s a reason: I’ve been dealing with some serious health issues. As a result I’ve had to make drastic changes in my diet, cutting out a lot of foods that I love (stuff that was making me sick). I’m now on a VERY strict diet, and I [...]
Stop Fighting for Table Scraps
I just saw “The Social Network” movie a few days back and it REALLY got me thinking. If THAT guy can build a billion dollar company, what can’t I, or any of you? And you don’t even need a 100% new idea (we had myspace and friendster before facebook). You just need to improving on [...]
What are YOUR Standards?
I mean ETHICAL standards. Here’s what I’ve seen, over and over again. Someone gets involved with affiliate/internet marketing. They start noticing a lot of people doing unethical things, some are borderline, some are flat stealing from and cheating people. At first they’re disgusted by it, and they vow they’re gonna do it the right way, [...]
