Default Re: AUDIO RANT: $1 Dollar A Day!

Hi Jason,

Thanks for taking the time to create something of value.

Very, Very, nice "rant"...

Was actually PLEASANTLY surprised at the number of points you touched on.

I specifically AGREED wholeheartedly when you talked about being committed to being an Internet Marketer; the evidence of said commitment could be as simple as actually registering a business to legalize it!

Also your analogy of having the Internet Income FIRST pay for a meal, and then scaling up the "Expense Ladder" (my words) is extremely valuable in terms of Quickly seeing results which will keep the Motivation level up due to the positive and fast feedback.

As you stated so clearly

"NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR OWN EDUCATION"

As I said before...Very Niiice!

Duane

Default Environment Trumps Discipline

Hi Again Jason,

I actually gave a talk the other day at my Toastmasters meeting on this very subject on the Dangers of Television.

I actually went over the TOP in how Dangerous it really is. Some of the members got really scared at the level of detail I had went into. LITERALLY.

That said,

I too currently have a weakness for Television and can feel and see the negative consequences.

I recently disconnected (Last Night) the one in my room.

It is STILL PHYSICALLY there however just not plugged in.
I know that It will be GONE (sold, or garbage) this week.

In order to kick the habit, I was "trying" to use will power and discipline. THAT was obviously not working for me.

But I heard this quote from somebody recently which said that

"ENVIRONMENT TRUMPS DISCIPLINE"

I have been repeating it, to myself and others because it is both simple and yet "profound".

The applications are numerous.

So, as per your post and Steve's, I see that you changed YOUR environment by throwing out the Television instead of using will power.

You are now receiving benefits of Making things Happen as well.

CONGRATS to you all on your T.V Victory!

I will be with you shortly because

ENVIRONMENT TRUMPS DISCIPLINE" :->

I learned years ago that my biggest weakness is TV. I did not have the willpower to turn the damn thing off.

My solution?

I gave away my TV. It was drastic but it worked. I found all sorts of "extra" time for working out, martial arts, my business and family functions.

MAKE THINGS HAPPEN.

I think we all need to card in our wallets with that written on it.

Aloha,

Jason

Default Re: Rip The TV From The Wall! That's great advice!

Aloha Steve,

I agree that Internet surfing can be the same sort of drug. I have limited myself to ONE forum to post to and read... this one.

Aloha,

Jason

Default Screw "The Secret"!

Making things happen flies in the face of all that New Age crap that so many people push...

Spiritual Marketing/Attractor Factor/The Secret

There is a huge difference between WANTING and MAKING THINGS HAPPEN.

Maybe that should be the new tagline (MAKING THINGS HAPPEN) for SOWPUB?

Aloha,

Jason

Default Thanks Rick!

Aloha Rick,

Thanks for aloha.

I love Joe Cossman too. Especially concerning his twisting of ideas.

In fact, Dien talked about that in this thread, where he discussed the use of coupons to prompt response to offers.

Aloha,

Jason

Aloha Duane,

I love that -- CHANGE YOUR ENVIRONMENT.

Despite the Marine Corps training, I know I am by nature a lazy and undisciplined bastard. I guess knowing yourself helps in knowing when CHANGING THE ENVIRONMENT is sometimes the fastest way to change behavior.

Aloha,

Jason

Default Re: Another Rant and Answer To How You Really Can Earn $7500+ Per Month.

Steve,

One thing I appreciate about what you do is that you take the time to explain how your experiences have helped you to move ahead. You also give good resources that we can all learn from.

Almost all success comes from action of some sort. As someone once said,"You don't have to get it right, you just have to get it going." You self-correct along the way.

Thank you so much.

Millard

Hi Millard,

"You don't have to get it right, you just have to get it going." is my favorite Joe Schroeder quote. Mike Litman really got that one. And you know how well he is doing coaching others to greatness!

Cheers,
Steve

Default de Bono's "Tactics" and his new religion are all Action Based.

Hi Dien, de Bono's books Six Thinking Hats & Six Action Shoes are also old but good. Have you read his newest one published just last year? The title is: A New Religion? H+ (plus) How to live your life positively through Happiness, Humour, Help, Hope, Health.

It can be read in less than an hour and those who read it can tell if someone they never met before has read it and know of the principles by the secret signal de Bono describes in the book.

I like his quote You can analyze the past but you have to design the future found at the top of his page at: www.hplusanewreligion.org

Cheers,
Steve Shulenski
