Time management

Here is a short but usefull article about time management written by an a friend, Bosco. Bosco has a managerial position at an internet marketing company and has created dozens of his own, highly successful websites -- he makes hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. I plan on interviewing Bosco and placing the videos on my website sometime in the future. ANYWAY. Here's the article:



How to I manage my time ?

As a business expert I get this question daily. One of the biggest challenges that every entrepreneur will encounter is really how to manage ones time.
Here's the golden nugget. The secret to managing your time effectively is really your ability to manage yourself!
There are four basic rules to time management
a- Time Blocking - This is when you set two hour time blocks to take care of your daily operations and tasks at hand. At this time you don't allow any outside distractions come in the way.
b- Technology Kills - With text messaging, emails and the internet it almost makes it difficult to do your job! Simple check your email periodically and you will notice you get a lot more work done!
c- Friction - One of the biggest challenges is letting your personal, mental, or physical frictions come into the work force. The golden rule is when you come into the office there is room for nothing else but business! Controlling your emotions and focusing on the tasks at hand will always help you get more work done!
d- Time is money! Your time is valuable and prioritize your time efficiently and stick to your plan!

wildfire give away

So I've never done anything like this before but I personally know one of the guys running it -- Ben Hume -- I talked to him about it, and it seems like a good deal.

It's a massive database of tons of free digital products. You can get as many freebies as you want -- and this is normally stuff that normally sells for lots of money. It's a win-win situation for you and for the people who are giving the products away. You win because you get a free product. In return, they win because you give them your email address and they get to add you to their (also free) mailing list. There really is no downside, and you can always instantly unsubscribe if you don't really want to be on their mailing list...lol.

I'll be sending an email out later about this if your on my list, but if you want to check it out now..

the latest news

hey everyone, the reason I haven't been posting much on the blog recently is because I've been really busy looking for another teaching job here in Basel (Switzerland). My contract with where I work now ends in 1 month -- so I've got about a month to find another teaching job or I'll have to leave if I don't find one. It's not even that I need the money...LOL :)

The main reason I need a legitimate job is so I can extend my living permit for another few months. ANYWAY. Now you know why my blog and other internet stuff has been on the backburner -- but believe me, this is only temporary! When I get my job situation figured out I'll be able to devote more time to my money making blog, etc... so stay tuned, and wish me luck!
