So what have I been up to? I have been carving a piece of the net out for myself. I have started an Internet marketing company and I’m making it happen. I have about 40 websites and still counting. Some are what I call premium brand and some are just booster to the premium brand.
I'VE SEEN THE LIGHT!!
Recently the light went on. I realize now when people like Oprah, Dr. Phil, Jim Rohn, and all these super successful people say, “You have to do something you love first?” I used to think, “That’s easy for you to say – you’re making millions doing what you love”. Then I realized, if not for money, but for your sanity – you should do what you love. But maybe take a two pronged approach. First do what you have to do to get a check, then do something you love and try and monetize it. This is actually critical to living the quality of life that you deserve. Critical? Sounds severe doesn't it? We it is!
Let’s take the 97% of you out there that don’t like their jobs. Let’s split up your day and see how much out of the 24 hrs do you really truly get to enjoy.
- Sleep 7 hrs.
- Working a job you hate: 9 hrs.
- Commuting and prepare for work: 1.5 hrs.
- Gym (Exercise) 20 minutes at a minimum
- Eating: 1 hr.
- Chores for living (dishes, bill pay, ironing, etc.) 40 min
How scary is that? Over 81% of your day is spent doing things you don't want to do. Sounds like a prison sentence.
You have 4.5 hrs to enjoy yourself per weekday. Now, If you enjoy your job, that goes up to 13.5. 3 times more. The numbers don’t lie.
If you throw children into the equation, all the numbers change drastically. The 4.5 can go down to 1 depending on the age of your children. One after school sport, help with homework, and a bedtime story can turn that 4.5 hours into 30 minutes. Then the guy working a job he loves is enjoying life 18 times more then you are.
That’s what I call a better quality of life. Think about it and take action.
If that doesn't motivate you to take control of your life then nothing will.
I’m not back – I never left.

Im glad that you post again, i found your blog some weeks ago and im hooked now, im from Mexico and i really enjoy reading you, keep doing it.
Take care
Thanks Aortiz!
It's been awhile but I figured this is where it all started and it's sad when a good blog goes out of business "so to speak" so I figured I might as well keep going ifi I still have good content to contribute.
