I found this in an old draft on the Blog today. Doing a bit of house cleaning as it were. Must have gotten  distracted by a shiny object.

This is from Bob Parson’s. The CEO and founder of GoDaddy.com, the most successful domain registrar in the World.  And the one that I use most of the time.  He puts out some great free information on how to run a successful business.

Some good stuff for sure.  There are 16 gems here.  What do you think?

1. Get and stay out of your comfort zone.

I believe that not much happens of any significance when we’re in our comfort zone.  I hear people say, “But I’m concerned about security.”  My response to that is simple: “Security is for cadavers.”

2. Never give up.

Almost nothing works the first time it’s attempted.  Just because what you’re doing does not seem to be working, doesn’t mean it won’t work.  It just means that it might not work the way you’re doing it.  If it was easy, everyone would be doing it, and you wouldn’t have an opportunity.

3. When you’re ready to quit, you’re closer than you think. Continue reading Bob Parsons Rules Of Business – Founder Of GoDaddy.com

Domino’s Pizza announced today that their profits more than doubles on new recipe, or does it really.

Here is a link to the AP story the Domino’s Story. The short answer is I don’t think so.

Here is the poll I have had up since they did there big change. Look at how many people prefer the old version.  Take the poll yourself if you have tried out the new Domino’s pizza.

As I said in my first posts about them, Continue reading Domino’s profit more than doubles on new recipe or does it?

Hi there!

I hope you are having a fantastic day.  I want to tell you a few things about yourself that I bet not everyone knows.  First off, because you are here reading this, you are pretty darn smart.  You are smart enough to figure out how to log onto the Internet, click on a link or type in the address of www.21to21.com and end up here.  This puts you ahead of Billions of people on this great big World.  Think about it, you are way ahead in the line of humanity.

That alone makes you a Rock Star!

You are different too.  I know this because you are curious enough to be reading this blog.  Do you know how many people just veg out in front of the TV and never try and do anything to better themselves?  Far too many, but that is just how it is unfortunately.  Good for you, kind of sucks for them.

I got a glimpse of this phenomena the other day with one of my new clients.  No, unfortunately not the Forked-Tail Fly Catcher, but something with a tail, all right.

My client was so busy running round putting out fires, taking care of things that had to be done, chasing their tail and chasing after buzzing flies, they were too busy to stop and actually start making enough money so they could stop running around being busy.

Whenever I am observing a client, I always remind myself to look in the mirror. As I did so, low and behold, I had begun doing a bit of fly chasing myself.   Not nearly as bad as the client, but the buzzing has a nasty habit of distracting you from the important things you should be doing, which is of course…making money.

A lot of this can be stopped in its tracks by simply having a written plan.  OK, I can make something else up if that was too easy but, it is often the only thing you need.  Write out a plan of at most 3 or 4 things that have to get done concerning making a profit, and then one important goal for the week and the month.  Be specific.  Say, I am going to get 20 new clients and build up 8 new residual income streams from them.

Being specific makes a huge difference.  So, don’t let chasing flies cause a fender bender while you are driving down the road to massive profitability.  Let them buzz, you can pay someone else to get them when you have arrived.  You will have enough money to do it.  Massive Profits means never having to swat your own flies.  Unless of course you really want to….     

Cheers,

If you have not read the 4 Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss, you should.   Really every business owner should, as well as anyone who wants more time in their life.  It is that good.

The reason why I am posting this is I have had some interesting conversations recently about it.  The book actually helped launch my current business model that I used in my businesses several years ago. Which is saying quite a bit about a book.

Because of the book, I started www.YakWrite.com which is my Virtual Assistant and Transcription Service and in turn, through the Butterfly Effect,  got me to where I am today.  In a way, 21to21.com would probably not be here without the book either.  Kind of cool, now that I think about it.

Well, after the original 4 Hour Workweek book came out, I decided to write about my trials and tribulations of setting up my Muse and I wrote my own book.  A Muse is basically an automated business that virtually runs itself.

This brings me to the fact that I have been working on a rewrite of my book and am going to make it available next week.  It is all about the hard won and funny lessons  of actually implementing a 4 Hour Workweek.  It also contains the Blueprint of resources and shortcuts to creating a Muse.

The Internet is changing very, very fast these days and things that worked last month will not work this month.  Because of this  I am going to make my book virtual, so I can constantly update it.  Plus, I can put videos, tutorials and links to the resources you need to get your Muse up and running.

Its 3:25 AM And I am still working and I must say I am psyched.  I have just had one of those marathon sessions where you get more done in 7 hours than you can in 5 days sometimes.  If you have experienced this, you know what I am talking about.  Got to love being ADD and OCD, and ADHD all at once. 

If you don’t know what I am talking about, you have no idea as to what you are missing.

I will keep this short and post more later today after I get some sleep but I am going to post a couple of Kernels that I absolutely know are going to help you kick start what you are doing online and I have decided to share with you a couple of big secrets that I use to get things done and put profit in my pocket so that you can put money in your pocket.

I don’t want to spoil the surprise, so I am going to cut this short. That plus all of a sudden I am extremely sleepy.  Just think Guerilla Marketing and eating Chocolate.

OK, talk to you later.

What did you do good today? What are you thankful for?

Have you ever gone through the day where you feel like you are running behind the 8 Ball and it feels as if someone is pushing you in the back making you about trip and to top it off, you are busy as all get out yet, at the end of the day it seems like nothing got done or at least got done as well as it should have?

Well, would you like to find a cure for those days?  If so, I am going to share one with you right now.  While I have picked up basically this same cure or technique if you will from several people including Napoleon Hill and others, what reminded me of this more recently is listening to a guy named Dan Kuschel.

While you may not have heard of him before, these questions are what drives his whole $60 Million dollar business on helping clients answer virtually these same 3 questions that I am about to share with you. Continue reading What Did You Do Good Today? Why It Matters…

Lech Walesa gives his view of the world and some friendly advice to the United States of America

He speaks about the state of Entrepreneurs and Capitalism and the lack of morality in our government today.

This man is one of a very, very few politicians that I have respect for these days. He is of the mold of our founding fathers in that he put his life on the line when he got into politics.  He led the way for the downfall of the Soviet Union and is truly one of the great leaders of the past 100 years.  If you are old enough to remember the time when he lead Poland on a path to Democracy and most importantly Free Market Capitalism, you may feel the same way I do.

He stared down execution and torture to lead Poland to its current prosperity and freedom as a Union Organizer for the shipbuilders.  And unlike the Union organizers in the US, he then went on to be and still is one of the biggest promoters of Free Market Capitalism and Entrepreneurs in the world.  He has also seen first hand the destruction and evil that Intellectual Elitism, Communism and Socialism can do first hand and offers some advice for the people of the United States.

This from a man who has been there and done that and actually walks the talk.  And look , no teleprompters!

Here is a link to a very well done piece by Time magazine of all places. While he is far from perfect, he is someone with experience and knows how things work concerning government and Entrepreneurs and how to get things done.  He is  someone with those two qualities that America Politicians lack, and that the American people and businesses could sorely use right now.

Cheers,

Andrew

Prior Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance

I am bumping this post up because I am reminded of the value and transcendental truth of this yet again.

The first time I heard that adage from two young guys named Hollis and Carter, it was like someone slapped me upside the head and it was game changer for me.

(As some of you may know, I have been involved in what has become a rather large software project that as they often do, is taking a bit longer to put together than we had hoped, yet is still on track for doing what we had planned it to do.

What we planned for it to do is basically make everything that I had cussed various Web designers, Programmers and pieces software out for and make it easy to do for an amateur.  That is make it easy to put together Websites, Blogs, Sales and Squeeze pages, and Shopping Carts for someone with no technical skills whatsoever.

Basically we wanted to give someone who’s sole technical skill was to check their email, the ability to create what normally only professional Website developers and Programmers could do at a huge cost, and on top of that, be able to do it in a few hours, not in a few days or weeks that it would take a Pro to do.

Guess what? We freakin pulled it off and I think it is going to be a game changer as far as how Websites, Blogs, Landing Pages, and profitable online businesses are put together.

My point about bringing this up is that this never could have happened had we not planned to do this at the outset.  Regardless of how many people said it could never be done, if we had not properly planned it out, it would not have been brought into being and we would have ended up with just another piss poor piece of software.)

The impact was so great because in the Organization People Pattern(tm) of my Personality Language(tm) profile, I am a Free Spirit and I never used to like to really plan anything because it bugged the heck out of me. I know the reason why and it was mostly because I was rebelling against the rigid Structurists that were around me.

By the way, if you have not read the book Personality Language yet, I highly suggest it. It is kind of mind blowing as to what it will tell you about what makes you and others tick.  I learned more in that book about basic human behavior than any other book that I have read.
