I wrote yesterday about my thoughts on Blog Engage forcing their members to link back to Blog Engage in order to be members. I think it is not the best way to promote a social site, and I could be wrong, but I doubt I am on this one.

Dan from TycoonBlogger wrote an article yesterday that I came across that compared several social bookmarking sites as well. Blog Engage was included in the list, so I commented about my…

GM paid back 8.1 billion dollars a couple weeks ago, money that we the tax payers loaned them. Kudos to this company. They are doing what people didn’t think they could do, coming back BIG! What can we learn from this situation? I say plenty!

It works the same with your online business. Get rid of the excess crap that isn’t working for you. I love to test ideas, but if they don’t work, sooner or later I am either…

I am not really big into Social Bookmarking, but occasionally I do use a few sites to try to attract some extra traffic and get a few links. I have been known to Stumble a few articles (mainly friends that shoot me a “share” through stumble), and even Digg something occasionally, but very rarely.

I have been on a rampage about making sacrifices, taking action, and getting success lately. I thought I would change it up a little and talk about how you reward yourself. I know how hard I work to achieve my success, but I also reward myself when I can. Do you?

Take Time Off:
I mean take real time off, leave behind everything, including Twitter and Facebook. I did that this week, and took 3 days off (IN A ROW!)…

I finally launched my latest eBook last night! The 4 Hour Sleep Week tells a story of my blogging career over the past 2 yrs, and how I became successful.  I gave away 2 copies of it last night at my Livestream show, and have already received some feedback. I also had the book available to my email subscribers at an even lower price for pre-order which turned out to be a great tool for marketing the new product (I…
