How to Motivate The Prince of Procrastination

December 5:

I woke up to this today...I love this brother! Him and John Chow get me hyped!!

I plan on letting these guys know I share these videos..one day...You know me by now...

Anyway, my daily routine consists of waking up around 2 1/2 hours before work and:

• Stretching 
• Doing 2 sets of Push ups, Crunches and leg lifts/Bicycle kicks/reverse crunches
• A shower
• Breakfast, while making lunch
• Checking all emails from my different accounts
• Watching a John Chow video or Dame Dash/Hip Hop Motivation video
• Getting dressed
• Walking to work

As I walk to work, I think of what's in store me for there.I also think of ways to progress in the businesses I'm developing. I'm not even thinking about the 3 miles I'm walking.

This routine has actually gotten me to WANT to get things done.I envision my self doing better. I look at cars I'll purchase.Homes I want to purchase.Areas to live.

Sometimes I realize that when I'm sitting in the War Room (my room/office at home), just sitting there trying to think of things can be stifling. If I get out of that zone, ideas flow freely.When I do housework, after being reminded of doing it over and over as us fellas do, I start to think of things I can do to further my endeavors.More products. More ways to tackle current issues.

With Dame and John, I get to hear/see another perspective.I get to see what worked for them and why. It's better to find someone doing better than you at what you are trying to do, so you can be challenged. In a way, these guys are in my Mastermind Group.

I also like to watch Shark Tank! Whoa!! Now , THAT'S TELEVISION! I LOVE THAT SHOW!!!!

I like how these ordinary, everyday entrepreneur folks present ideas to the Millionaire/Billionaire"sharks" and the "sharks" breakdown the prospects business ideas. The sharks come off as people that know everything about any business. that's where I'd like to be. A Know-It-All in business. I know about various structures of business ( i.e. Sole Proprietor, C Corporations, S Corporations, LLCs), but not about various industries.

It's obvious they/ their teams have done their research. ( I need a team)

I see being a TRUE entrepreneur you have to be this way. You must know all there is to know about what you want to do.No half stepping.

Anyway, my point is a morning routine, Dame Dash, John Chow, and Shark Tank, are what motivate me. 

What motivates you? Tell me here.Email me at the address in my signature.

I'd love to hear from you!

Also, I read an article today about Social Media tools. Tools that can show you how many views you have, schedule posts, and a bunch of other things. If you're interested in the article go here.

Until then

I hope you're ready to do 2015! I've already started.

Next week we'll talk about what those things are in comparison to what I've done this year..

How Dare You Tell ME What To Do!!

December 3:

So... I was approached with ANOTHER MLM type situation dealing with Travel!

I'm thinking about doing it. If for nothing else, to at least learn some internet marketing.

An old buddy of mine, who I'll call "D", came to me about it...after a week of Cat and Mouse and Phone Tag. We spoke tonight and he had me watch a video. The video had its “how you make money with the system " breakdown...testimonials of people who made money...you know, the usual. Then, I spoke with him a little bit. He pitched how he wanted a team to get this going, stroked my ego a little bit...then came the whammy...a three way (pause) conference call with HIS mentor.

This is where it got interesting. He said the same things that were in the videos and what the goal was. Very convincing. The words that got my ears perking up were, " If you sign up today..."

Wow!

But...

THAT's the key to marketing a product!

 “Join today!”” Get in on the ground floor!”” You don't want to miss out!”

I definitely couldn't be mad at how he presented it. I KNEW what he was doing. Although, he apologized for delivering this way, I told him not to apologize (in the back of my mind I was learning how to MARKET!!)

As potential customers we get sensitive, even offended, when we are approached this way. 

Not I.

 I knew what he was doing AND learned a valuable lesson in it. The question is, now, will I do it?

I got my own stuff going on in life.I'm tryingt o spend money on gifts...I got bills to pay... I want to get started in January!

Yet..

This is the Christmas season.This IS a time for people to travel.This IS a time for people to spend money.


As a matter of fact, just yesterday I got an email from John Chow on that very thing:

I'm a BIG follower of him. I watch his videos EVERYDAY to motivate my self to do this.Around (5:45) in the video he starts to talk about preparing now to make money online and NOT at the beginning of the year. What I took from that was STOP setting a date to start something.Do it NOW.

So, when talking to the Mentor, that was the angle he tapped. I should get in this now so that when it gets large, I'll be among those who got in at the beginning of the opportunity.I threw in how I had bills to pay, shopping to do and he still kept that angle going.

NIIIIICE!

Time will tell..I do want to do it but I got some money invested in another project, besides this one. Wanna see? Go here and then go here. Make sure to pick up one for yourself!

I'll keep you posted on what happens with the travel venture. You can bet , though, if/when I do it..YOU WILL KNOW!

My FanDuel

Nothing.I took a week off.I have fantasy football leagues that have money in them.I needed to fine tune a couple of them to make sure I get something from them.

Thank You!!

Thanks for the support.I see my views are increasing and my Facebook ads are working! I finally invested in a small campaign to get the ball rolling. I've been gaining "likes" at the Facebook page . The next plan is to fine tune my audience, so that I can fine tune my ads to be more effective. I'd rather have loyal followers/ readers than just a bunch of "likes". 

I want a community. I want more Inkyatix. I also have a newsletter that's been going out. this, too, has helped. Go to the Facebook page and join. There's a tab that says " Email signup" on the left of the page. click the image and put in your information.

 I'd love to have you in the community!

I plan on getting back to my videos, too..as well as, a live talk with some of you...just because.

A while ago I decided that I was going to make this blog be about me being a mogul. I’ve kind of strayed away from that. I apologize to you who read this for THAT purpose. I’m going to get back to that purpose. I’m determined to be a mogul and I want you to see how I’m going to do this. This way I can be held accountable. Accountability, folks.

Now, the question is how am I going to do this? Let me explain. I’m sort of a jack-of-all-trades, master of none. I can live with that. I totally believe that I can do a BUNCH of things and get money from all of them (as Future says, “At the same damn time”). Why not? It IS POSSIBLE.

I have a view ventures that can make me a little dough. I just have to get them in order.

1.       I have a full time job

2.       I have 4 blogs

3.       I mystery shop (should I have put this?)

4.       I have an Ebay account

5.       I do online surveys

6.       I’d like to sell Hip Hop beats

7.       Facebook Apps

Now the job...I do that, you can trust and believe that. This is my bank for not only my regular lifetime expenses but for the other ventures (Numbers 2 - 4).

My blogs are still in the process of being monetized (making money). In order for me to make REAL money, I need to increase my audience. That way when I DO sell something I have buyers. Make sense? I’m in n the process of that now. I’m learning various techniques to get this happening.

It’s been a little while since I’ve been doing mystery shops. I do get emails daily for assignments, I just haven’t accepted any lately. I need to get back to that – soon.

I’ve been with EBay since 2003. I’ve made meager money. At the same time I’ve sold meager items at meager times. I’ve also learned that there are other sites that are up there with EBay. I need to do research!

I have a few survey sites I belong to. I’ve made money with them but NOT enough to get a check cut. You must make a minimum before they pay you…which is good.

I’m pretty good at Hip Hop “beat making”. I had a rep out in Bridgeport, CT. Why not get back to it? I’ve got followers on Soundcloud!

I have a few apps on Facebook. They generated some coins – literally-for me.

With all this being said I’ll be keeping you informed on these things as much as I can to maybe get some ideas or tips from you. If nothing else you can at least be able to see how I’m going to become a wealthy individual.

To date:

·         My blogs make money with AdSense  $.09

·         Panda Research $28.26 (survey)

·         Inbox Dollars $11.98

·         Snap Dollars $7.88

·         EBay $.00

·         Mystery Shop $.00

·         Hip Hop beats $.00

·         Facebook Apps $.27

That should cover it for now…I’ll still post videos, of course. That’s my attention getter….Later, babies

Yooohooo!!
