Josh and Kaylee Boxers Rockclimbing Adventure

One of the things I love about being a dad is doing awesome stuff with my kids.  Being that Kaylee’s birthday is coming up this week and she had a pass to go indoor Rockclimbing at Extreme Rockclimbing in Suwanee, Georgia, we decided to make a Saturday of it.  She was one of the best climbers in the whole place, other then the instructors and had an absolute blast.

A New Years Surprise And An Honor All In One.

I got a call last Friday from Chris Barany out of the PRO office and he said that I had been chosen to be January’s spotlight member of the month. It was definitely a surprise.

You see, when you do the right things, the right things happen and you get exposure.  Most people are afraid to put themselves out there and those are the same people who constantly complain about how broke they are and how their life stinks.  Yet, they are unwilling to do anything about it.

It’s when you truly decide that you want change and your willing to put your work ethic where your mouth and mind go, you will start to see change and success in your life.

Get In the Gym

I see a lot of people my age (39) that look a lot older.  They have beer bellies, wrinkles and quite honestly look like they are 50.  Life can be hard on one’s body if you don’t pay attention to it.  You have to have balance in life.  For those of you who say you don’t have enough time to workout, I think your full of it.  You just need to re-arrange your schedule and make it a priority.

What are the things you are grateful for?

Things I am grateful for in 2011

So this year has been a whirlwind of fun. I have gotten to go to Las Vegas twice, Arizona and the Bahamas.  I am grateful that I manifested the resources to do most of the things I set out to do this year.  At the end of every year, I like to take a step back and look at the triumphs as well as losses and take an inventory of my life, relationships, etc.

I am grateful for my family

The cornerstone of everything I do in life is for the benefit of my wife Pamela and my two daughters Kaylee and Hannah.  Without their love, understanding, patience and gentleness, I could not have come as far as I have.  The older I get the more I realize just how precious time is.  It’s the only thing in life that cannot be replaced.  Once it’s gone, it’s gone.

Why I Made My First InfoProduct Online.

First let me start out with the fact that Pain and uncomfortableness is a powerful motivator.  It has always helped me to accomplish more with less and allow me to fully tap into my full creativity.

While most people think that I make a full time living online, it’s not the case.  I supplement my lifestyle with the money I make online and you know what?  It’s been pretty darn good to me over the past few years.  Anyway, back to the story.

Two or three times a year, my primary company has a few live events.  They are always in top notch destinations like Las Vegas, Arizona and most recently, The Bahamas.  Needless to say, it takes some planning.

I have two daughters, 8 and 11.  We have no family where we live here in Georgia so in order for my wife Pamela and I to get to a function, we have to pay someone for the 4 or 5 days we are gone plus airfare, hotel, food, partying, etc.  It’s not cheap.

The Truth About Internet Lead Generation

Generating leads on the internet can be one of the most frustrating aspects of Internet Marketing for people who are just getting started.  There are many ways to generate leads online, both paid and for free.

What you lack in money to put towards lead generation you will make up in time, trust me, I know.  What you lack in time, you can make up with a solid advertising budget.  let me explain.

I know a ton of people that generate content (Articles, blog posts, Press Releases and videos) to create traffic and leads.  What any of them will tell you is that it’s EXTREMELY time consuming to produce this kind of content on a scale that is going to produce enough leads to feed their business.

The other challenge is, you need to have the right tools.  You can’t just write about anything, make videos about everything and expect people to find your content.  Your content needs to solve your prospects problems.  It needs to be informative.  People don’t like a sales pitch and this is where most newbies go wrong.

They are so fired up about their product or service that they think everyone will be fired up about it.  Truth is, no one really gives a rip about it.  Your product doesn’t solve problems, people do!

Be Empowered All The Day’s Of Your Life

The 3 Huge Mistake’s People Make In The Internet Marketing Industry.

Just the title alone rings a little curiosity doesn’t it?  You want to know what those three mistakes people make in the Internet marketing industry are?

And for good reason.

Very few people make a full time living in the network marketing industry, “as a whole”.   Reason being?

People are chasing dollar bills instead of knowledge.

Your probably wondering what I am talking about.  Well, this industry attracts people into it based on their emotions.  There was something about this industry that they heard about that was appealing to them. Perhaps it’s leverage, money, power, change of pace or even fame and fortune or should I say the possibility of all of those?

Remember, people move towards pleasure and away from pain.

There is something going on in their life that is the root cause of them looking outside of their current situation to find a solution to their problem.
