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.
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. Continue reading Encouragement For You Today Because I Know You Can Succeed

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. Continue reading Tim Ferriss, The 4 Hour Workweek And Creating Your Muse..Oh, Yeah and FREE BOOKS
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…
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.
5 Things that you can do today to increase your productivity by 40%
Above are the 5 things that you can incorporate into your daily routine that can easily increase your productivity by 40%.The reason I know this is possibly is because I have done it. And actually, my increase was quite a bit more than that to tell you the truth. I actually incorporated some other things as well that I will do another post on at a later time, but these 5 I have found can have a profound impact on virtually anyone that tries them for just one day, let alone one week.
Increase My Productivity BY 40%
1. Write out what I “HAVE” to get done the night before. There are numerous studies backing this up in that when you actually write or type something out, it changes the way it is stored in your brain. I and others have also noticed that once you write something down, it lets your sub-conscious have a go at it and results often pop full formed in my noodle first thing in the morning. This technique has been recommended by a lot of people from the great motivator and human behavior modeler Napoleon Hill onward to present day writers.
2. Check Emails Only 3 times a day. I dare you to actually count and keep track of how much time you spend checking your emails. You will probably be surprised and appalled. It is not only the time you spend checking them, but the break in concentration that it takes to do so. This one thing alone can help you hit the 40% increase in productivity. You can use this online stop watch to actually track the time. It is a great tool that I often use. http://www.online-stopwatch.com/
3. Use YakWrite.com or other Transcription Services for Blogs, Memos, and Web Content. You can get up to 8,000 words or up to 20+ Blog posts transcribed for about 99 cents a piece! You can get 1 hour of Audio transcribed for only $19.99 over there as an introductory rate. But, even if you pay twice that, you can increase your productivity easily by 40% using Transcription services. If you don’t have the audio recording software, the one I like the best and it is free is Audacity. It works on Windows and Macs. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
4. Figure out which things are going to make me the most money and concentrate on them. While this may seem like a no brainer, and I am not sure who said this but, “most people are too busy to ever become wealthy” is true and not busy in a good way. If you cut out even 50% of the BS that you do every day that has nothing to do with you making more money, you will be amazed at the results. The old 80/20 rule or Pareto principlecomes into play. 80% of the money you make comes from only 20% of what you do. Figure out what the 20% really is and drop the other stuff!
5. Write down a Mind Map of what I will get done this year using www.Bubbl.us . This again comes back to number 1. But this is a bigger picture and unsurprisingly less than 1% of all people ever write down and map out what they want to accomplish financially, business wise, or even for the personal life. Yet, over 90% of all successful people have a written plan that they consult on a regular basis.
The reason why I like Bubbl is because it is easy to use and it is free. You can even embed mind maps like this one in Web Pages and Blogs and share them in various way. Plus, you can have other people collaborate with you on them too.
The bottom line is that it is easy to become complacent with your time, but it is the one thing that you can control that can make the most impact on your productivity and your life.
Try these 5 things out and let me know how it works out for you. If you have some other great tips, I would love to hear about them.

I am making a copy of “Art Of Money Getting” By P.T. Barnum available to download in PDF format for FREE. This is from a post I did awhile ago, but I thought it worth mentioning again. It is worth rereading on a regular basis.
In the video I go over some of the highlights in the book. Click To Watch Video and it looks best in Full Screen Mode. Just hover in the lower right hand corner and clickthe Box. Hit ESC to come back to regular mode.
