For most of you, waking up is a routine. You literally do it without actually “waking up”. You can sleepwalk through your “Good morning” greetings, your daily hygiene routines, and complete most of your morning chores without being fully conscious. However, I’m here to tell you that you’ve missed something magical when...
With the immediateness of social media, and the globalized concept of everything being a click away, it can be extremely difficult to understand that the world was not built in a day – that blogs with over one hundred thousand followers, or the New York Times Best Seller books did not reach their present success overnight. Too much...
When we were children, the “coolest” amongst us hated hearing our mom’s voice over our bedsides, “Wake up, you are going to be late for school,” and the “dorkiest” amongst us were already dressed and excited about the school day. Which child which were you? Whether you were on the “too cool for school” side of the equation,...
We are all human, and as dramatically different as we pretend to be, we are very much the same. That’s why a blog can attract so many viewers, or why sports teams have such a huge fan base. It’s even why medicine can be mass-produced, because we are so similar genetically and socially for that matter. We face similar life circumstances,...
It sounds rather exceptional, but I assure you, I did not do anything “special”. I had a social media network of zero, and no real experience aside from the books I purchased about blogging. However, I did my best to truly study bloggers like Darren Rowse, John Chow and Patt Flynn. What I learned from all three of them was the importance...
Disclaimer: You no longer live in your world. Instead, everything you are is now locked in a dojo called Write-Fu. There are no rules, and the only limitations are the ones you set upon yourself. The temple is completely packed, leaving you just enough room to write with your dull pen. Time to sharpen the artist. Periods, paragraphs,...
There I was driving a beat up MacBook Pro, running on the latest edition of Ubuntu Linux playing Brandon Yawa’s latest hit, “Frankenstein Can’t Touch Me”. I left clicked my mouse and there it was, a spaceship. To my disbelief, it wasn’t a disk-shaped object with eclectic lights. Instead, it was a URL that read problogger.com....
Embrace Stressophobia. First and foremost, accept that stress is just like breathing, except you do not have to experience it as often. You were given something that made you “alive”, and being alive is magnificent, but it does come with its fair share of collateral damage. As any Hollywood mogul would say, “It cost to be the boss.” You...
Every day you wake up, you have the chance to do something monumentally different. If you are unhappy with your current life, why do you keep living it? It doesn’t matter who you are, or what’s holding you back. I assure you, for every excuse you make, there are successful people who came from exactly where you are and still...
If you bumped into a handicap genie who said, “Sorry, I can only grant you one wish, and that one wish is complete and legal access to Donald Trump’s bank account”, I do not have to ask what your one wish would be. Just make sure to say thank you to the handicap genie when you pull off in your Lamborghini, or when you remodel...
