12.28.092009 Review, 2010 Goals & DreamsThank you to everyone who reads my random writings here. 2009 was a good year for me: Business Started a business I can take with me anywhere. Sold over 400 copies of the flagship product - 007 Lifestyle. Teamed up with the expert in my niche, Paul Kyriazi. Sales and exposure continue to rise. Got invited into an exclusive marketing syndicate where some of the best in the business discuss marketing tactics. Travel & Personal Biked the Pacific Coast of the USA. Lived in Argentina, Colombia, San Francisco. Visited the East Coast of the USA for the first time. This might sound stupid, but I got a six pack - ...

07.20.09The Power Of Doing, Creating, & Putting Yourself Out There"I've had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened." - Mark Twain Create! (Photo by Tait Campbell) The only crime in life is doing nothing. If you're sitting around and not taking action you're moving society backwards. If there's something you're even remotely good at, you should let the world hear/see/experience it. This has become so apparent to me in the last couple of months that I can hardly believe I didn't see it before. When I'm timid, don't act, and worry about what might happen, I end up with nothing. And something is better than nothing. Here are ...

04.17.09Experiments In Sobriety - 5 Things I’ve Accomplished In 1 MonthI like experiments and analyzing then enhancing performance based on the results. When I announced that I was going to be experimenting with not drinking any alcohol what-so-ever for three months, I sparked some controversy. Mostly, my readers called me gay or told me I should live my life. There wasn't a lot of positivity floating around. The main reason I chose to experiment with no alcohol was because I wanted to remain focused on several goals I have right now. I needed to break the party cycle I'd been on for the last 5 months in South America. Below is what I've ...

04.16.09Why I Don’t Believe In A Balanced LifeThe title should probably read, "Why I don't Believe In A Balanced Life All The Time." I believe that most of our lives should be lived in balance. Work and play, ying and yang. But when you have a goal, balance should go out the window. Here's why: If Arnold Schwarzenneger believed in balance he wouldn't have worked out 5 hours a day and won 7 Mr. Universe titles. If John Frusciante believed in balance he never would have spent 14 hours a day playing guitar in his room. Where would we be without the Chili Peppers? If Bill Gates believed in balance he ...

03.18.09No Alcohol or Caffeine Until 4th Of JulyI'm back off the booze and caffeine wagon. It's time to focus on my goals again and eliminate distractions. I've chosen 4th of July weekend as the date to shoot for. None of this. Or that. Current 3 Month Goals: 1. Find the muse (start business). 2. Gain muscle then lose fat. I'm not getting any younger and the time to put on muscle is now while my testosterone levels are still relatively high. 3. Avoid using substances as social lubricants. Why No Alcohol 1. Find the muse (start business). Hangovers are bad for thinking and working. Also, a night out drinking usually lasts until 3 or 4 ...

02.28.09Live Uncomfortably 30 Day Challenge Conquered + What Now?Boom. 30 Day Challenge conquered. 30 days of writing and posts has been completed. I must say, it was easy. After the first few days writing became a breeze. I'm not terribly happy with every post but overall it feels good to have just done it. Here is what's to come: Less Posts Even though all the new content is great, I think the post quality suffered at times. I'd like to cut the post number down to 2-4 per week with quality being the focus. There are a lot of topics I'd like to expand on and more clearly define. More Focused What I ...

02.26.09How We Can Learn From Futbol (Soccer)I don't know a lot about soccer, but I do know this: goals come in bunches. Once somebody has scored, the goals seem to pour in. This simple phenomenon reinforces the valuable lesson of social proof. In one study by the famous social physcologist Bandura, he showed children fearful of dogs, a 20 minute clip for consecutive days of other children playing with a dog. After only four days, 67% of the children were willing to climb into a playpen with a dog and remain there while everyone else left the room. A few nights ago I went out with my 2 ...

02.24.09The Secret To Accomplishing GoalsHere is something a lot of people don't want you to know: if you want to truly transform your life or accomplish a goal, it's going to take extreme focused effort to do it. Baby steps wont cut it. When it's very uncomfortable is when it benefits us the most. Most marketers and companies tell us what we want to hear. We can get 6 pack abs with only 7 minutes of work a day. "Do it the lazy man's way." The real reason most of us just spin our wheels and never get anywhere is because we take this slow approach. We ...

02.08.09Controlling Environment vs. BehaviorIf you had no TV in your house, what would you do? If you had only healthy foods in your cabinet and refrigerator, what would you eat? Steve Jobs wears the same outfit - a black mock turtle neck and jeans - pretty much everyday. Do you think he spends a lot of his time in the mirror every morning trying to figure out what to wear. Of course not. He's got more important things on his mind - like creating simple, user-friendly computers. There are a lot of things out there to distract us from our desired goals. There are more ...

09.21.08What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up?You are grown up. Are you still working towards your dream? When you were young did you dream of being rich, or being something? I know we have to pay the bills, but what good is anything if we never cash in on our dreams?
