Why I Blog

by Leave a Comment

I was up late (it’s becoming a summer trend) working on one of my blog posts. Then, a question came up in my mind, “Why do I blog.” I decided to create a blog post about it.

I decided to start this blog and all of the other blogs that I have created because having my own blog allows me to write my own content. I don’t have to follow any kind of instructions. There is no, “You have to write about this. By the way, it’s due Monday,” type of thing. I am able to schedule blog posts well in advance to my convenance.

There is no stres when it comes to blogging. Blogging is writing what’s in your mind. You can think of something extraordinary for a second, and then you can apply what you just thought of into a blog post. When I think about something or see something that I like, that idea turns into a blog post.

It’s incredible what blogging has allowed me to do. I reach hundreds of people every day with my content. Soon, it will be thousands of people every day, and then it will be through the roof.

I just write about something and then apply it to my niche at the end. The added bonus is that I get to show some people this post (everyone laughs about it later). I memorized the URL for that post.

These people will help you answer your question. The marketing expert doing his presentation knows a thing or two that you may not know. Write down your questions on a piece of paper.

The answer is somewhere, but someone could have already said it while talking with you. The answer can come up at any given moment. So Costello, Who’s on first.

Why I Believe In The 10,000 Hour Rule

The 10,000 hour rule is a concept that after the 10,000th hour, you will see yourself with a thriving business. Although the 10,000 hour rule is controversial, I believe it is real. The idea of the 10,000 hour rule is that it takes a long time to achieve success. It takes some entrepreneur over 10 years to create multimillion dollar businesses. Others never get there.

The 10,000 hour rule is not to discourage anyone. Instead, it is a sign of opportunity. The 10,000 hour rule shows that anyone can be create a thriving business. However, if you want to create a thriving business, you must be successful for most of those 10,000 hours.

Whether you believe in the 10,000 hour rule or not, success does not come overnight.

My Attitude Towards Getting Goals Done

by Leave a Comment

I use a hashtag in a lot of my tweets. I also have one that I wrote down in my notebook on the very last page. When I have a difficult goal to accomplish, I go to the last page of my notebook and read

#BecauseICan

You can say what you want about the hashtag being there, but when I have a goal, that’s my motto. The next time you have a goal to complete, put that on a sticky note next to you when you work. When you think you can’t do something, look at that sticky note and read what it says.

You Probably Don’t Know Who Alain Bernard Is

A small fraction of a second separated Bernard’s relay team from beating Michael Phelps’ relay team. The gold and silver medals could have been distributed either way. The length of each anchor legs’ fingernails was the difference between a victory and a loss.

Everyone looks at the winner, not the guy who gets second place. Be that winner and make sure people know who you are.

If You Want To Speak To A Representative, Press 1

When we make a phone call, we want to be able to directly contact that person. We have questions, and we want answers. We may just want to talk with a friend. Either way, you’re on the phone to hear a person talk to you, not an automated response.

At first, we are a little irritated. The automated voice gives you the options, and then you press a number. You expect to no longer hear the automated voice. Then the automated voice says a classic, “Please hold.”

That same music plays. It continues to play on. Then the song is over. Then the song starts over. Then another song plays. It’s just a drag. Finally the automated voice comes back telling you that you are on a 30 minute waiting list. The same song plays yet again.

We want to ask a question and get an answer, not hear a song that we could probably listen to on the radio. What’s customer service for? Automated voices don’t make the cut. When there are a lot of callers, there is most likely going to be a lot of money coming in too.

Why not hire more people to take more calls? That music gets old…really fast.
