It’s Not You, It’s Me

it's not you it's meIf you have a blog (of any kind) you NEED to read this.

And I’m really serious about it.

When I say it’s not you, it’s me what I really mean it’s not ABOUT you, it’s ABOUT ME (your reader).

There’s a big chance you still don’t understand me so let me ellaborate…

Engaging your audience, having repeated visitors, making them stay for long on your site, subscribe to your site, etc, etc all of these tasks are only achieved when somebody genuinely wants to be on your site.

Not because you are using some shady strategy to make them stay longer!

Now the issue is not actually there, it remains when you start writing with the Continue Reading →

How To Avoid Being Overwhelmed With Your To-Do Lists

how to avoid being overwhelmedHey what’s up my friend?

On my latest post I was talking about How To Get It Done in the sense of making things happen.

You know what I’m talking about right…?

Avoiding procrastination!

(that has to be a pretty shitty nation btw but enough of my bad jokes…)

We’re already on April, the first quarter of the year is already long gone but I did manage to do a few interesting things anyway though:

But after quickly analyzing what I have done, my activities aren’t that close to the list I published for my 2013 Goals. Continue Reading →

How To Get It Done

get it doneThis article is all about getting *it* done.

So what is “it”?

Well, whatever needs to get done in order to make actual progress.

Here is the deal…

We all have to-do lists.

And we all have fears to overcome.

If you are reading this and you have a specific task (or set of tasks) that need to get done and you keep dragging them day after day, then you clearly have a procrastination problem.

(I’m not pointing the finger at you, it happens to me all the time too so it’s a “we” kind of problem)

But before I actually tell you how to get it done let’s go back a week ago… Continue Reading →

What Would You Do Today If You Weren’t Afraid?

let's be fearlessOkay guys, we’re going to do something a little bit different today.

First of all, I need your feedback here…

I just realized that whenever you are scared of doing something, if you do something scarier then you almost automatically are no longer scared of the first thing.

This won’t work if you are trying to overcome fears in different areas of course.

Example:

If you are afraid of sharks and you decide to jump with a parachute from a plane, it’s definitely not going to help you get rid of the fear of sharks, you get me?

But… (and it’s a big one) if you are scared of something Continue Reading →

Productivity Hack: The Lockdown Method

Kris Mainieri's Lockdown MethodOkay guys, today’s post is going to be a little bit different to what you’re used to see on the blog.

I have an amazing productivity hack I learned from Kris Mainieri and I want to share it with you here.

But instead of writing about it, I thought about doing a video testimonial for Kris since he has personally helped me overcome a lot of barriers I had when I was getting started and struggling online and he stills contributes by providing great value to my Internet Marketing career.

His advice on important decisions has been key but most important of all, his friendship and support are literally endless and for that, I really feel blessed.

So without any further ado, here you go…  Continue Reading →

Not Everyone Is Going To Make It

Sergio Felix Human Race Los Angeles

I didn’t go jogging today.

I decided to take off this day from running to write this, give you an important message and work on my own stuff as well since I have no more spare time to waste.

I’m becoming really obsessed with habit developing because I strongly believe that’s what has been stopping me to be where I want to be at.

The first week of this year I didn’t do anything drastic about my health or habits but the second week I went jogging about five days in a row and rested for only two days.

Mind you, I cut off beer on weekdays too.

Then the third week I ran every morning except on the weekend… heck, I almost ran a half-marathon just 24 hours ago.

Again, almost no beer on this week either.

My point with this is that it has taken me literally just two weeks to drastically change my patterns, I’ve always been a morning person but for some reason I just couldn’t get up early.

Now I get up like a clock alarm, exactly at 6:00am and even though I feel tired from jogging, I have a lot more strength and a completely new “head” towards my challenges.

It’s a bit weird to feel tired and with lots of energy at the same time but that’s exactly how I feel.  Continue Reading →

Dominating The World: Plans For 2013

world domination plans 2013This is the first post of the year!

And dominating the world (wide web) that’s exactly what I intend to do on this 2013.

Since this is also the first post of the year, I want to make it a good one and I couldn’t find a better time to talk about planning.

You’ve heard the saying before:

“Fail to plan, plan to fail” ~Attributed to many different people.

I know that holds very true from personal experience.

Last year I had a lot of goals: “do this, do that, do this other thing, etc” but I never took the time to lay out a plan and achieve those goals, doh!

You bet I won’t be making the same mistake twice so here’s my 2013 breakdown…  Continue Reading →

Goodbye 2012, How You Doing 2013?

Epic 2012Hey what’s up my friend, how have you been lately?

First of all I want to thank you for visiting my site today since I’m writing this for you in the very best mood possible and secondly, I want to give something back to YOU…

Without you, chances are I wouldn’t be here right now and there’s a huge possibility I would be working in a small cubicle area solving technical problems nobody cares about, for a company that doesn’t cares about me and trying to fulfill other people’s dreams while I build their company and their profits.

Luckily for me that’s not the case, I’m writing this on my PJ’s, having a beer in my own apartment, listening to the music I love, looking at a very busy (but fun) whiteboard full of activities and I honestly have never feel so happy before in my life.

I didn’t wake up to this feeling in case you were wondering, I started thinking all that I’ve done to get to where I’m currently am at and I think I really deserved to feel like this and to finally be able to accomplish what I have been pursuing right from the beginnning: success.

But I don’t want to talk about me today, I want this to be a YOU day so let’s roll up our sleeves and get this party started!

Note: It’s going to be very hard to categorize people since many can be found in different groups so I’ll just do my best to list everyone in the correct group and order people by their last name.  Continue Reading →

Looking Back At Your 2012 Goals

2012 hits and misses

So…

Are you ready to publish your true statement of how well this year has been for you?

Did you accomplish everything you planned for or did you come in short at something?

From the moment I decided to dive in to Internet Marketing I was prepared for two basic scenarios:

  1. Failing miserably and
  2. Achieving massive success

I’m not sure why I never considered something in the middle but anyway, the important bit here is that making money online IS possible if you play your cards right.

For some, that means investing in yourself and/or in your business.

For some others that means massive hard work.

And well, the possibilities are endless but then again, it involves taking action and not any kind of action but SMART solid action steps towards your goals.  Continue Reading →
