I’ve been getting a lot of feedback lately about how I’ve been an inspiration to a lot of people. Not only to my readers online, but also to my friends and family too. I’m grateful that a lot of you feel this way, and it is my hope that I continue to do things that inspire people because in truth, hearing such feedback inspires me as well. It’s a vicious cycle that I feed off of to improve my business and my life. So, I want to thank you for inspiring me too.

Okay, so all of that sappy stuff aside, I wanted to take a little bit of time to show you the things online that inspire me. I guess you can say I am who I am partly because of who I read and what I watch. Feel free to wander to any of these sites below, and I’d be happy to hear what you think, or if you have come across some of these things as well. Enjoy! Click to continue…

Life to me, is a sport…not a game – but a sport. Life is a sport because:

  1. In both life and in sport, there are rules, regulations, codes of ethics, appropriate behavior, etc.
  2. In order to do well in both, it takes a lot of hard work, determination, and sometimes a little bit of luck too.
  3. In both life and sport, when we’re ahead we feel good and are having fun, and when we’re behind we sometimes feel lost and bored.
  4. Mentors, coaches, teammates, parents and friends (aka. the people who we associate with) all contribute to the success or the failure of the individual and those who surround that individual in both life and sport.
  5. And lastly, in both life and in sport, there’s one thing that increases our chances of being successful and winning – scoring and achieving goals. Click to continue…

In my second month of writing articles on eHow, I decided to let my articles marinate on the web without writing any more. I did this half because I was super busy, but also because I wanted to see how much more money, if any, I would make by just letting my articles sit. I’m actually very pleased with my results.

In my first month of writing on eHow, you may remember that I made $20.02 after reaching my goal of about 150 articles, or 5 articles a day. I’ll estimate that I averaged a generous 2 hours a day writing, or 60 hours in total. In order to see this in a way we can all relate to, that’s about $0.33 cents per hour of work. On paper, that’s chump change. But, as Yoda would say, “After some time, see results, you will.  Herh herh herh.” (I used Yodaspeak.co.uk for this, lol!) Click to continue…

This is the third of a series of reports that I will post each and every month summarizing my progress. I’ll first mention the major events that may have happened within the month that could have made a difference in my earnings. I will also break down the sources of my income so that I can keep track of how each one is doing. Lastly, I’ll conclude with the most important things that I learned and what I have planned for the near future. I’d love to respond to any questions or comments that you may have. Thanks!
