TIME CRUSHING!

Time, the one thing we never have enough of. I’m forever working to organize my life in more efficient way’s in order to get the most out of it.

I even walk faster then I used to, in fact, I’ve added the combined ability of not only walking and talking, I can simultaneously chew gum, wave a puffed cancer stick using sign language in multiple tongues listening to the radio as I send text messages while driving my Audi at excessive speeds sipping my coffee!

Knowing this kind of behaviour leads to an early grave, all I can say is....they don’t call me "Magic Mike" for nothing! No..seriously, I realize the extreme implications of multi tasking myself into oblivion, but the truth is, I don’t care! Time is not on my side, it never has been. That’s not to say I haven’t tried to "reason" with it because Lord knows I have, if you don’t believe me, just drive past my house at any hour and you will notice me in the front yard yelling at the open sky! If you think that’s bad, come by on the weekends, I have clock crushing parties in back yard and yes, real sledge hammer’s are involved! Ever seen an alarm clock fly through the air in pieces, it’s one of those "once in a lifetime" events!

To make matter’s worse, time even seems to be speeding up! Ever wake up at 8:00am just to turn around and notice half the day’s gone by and all you did was eat breakfast and pet the cat? I’ve even had day’s when rolling over to get some sleep was the only option I had after the alarm went off because taking a morning leak would take to long and the day would be over so why bother, might as well do it tomorrow.

It’s amazing to me how long it takes just to do the basics, like eating breakfast or paying a bill, running to the post office or buying groceries, much less going to work while simultaneously starting a business, my gosh, who has the time? That’s why my new buzz word is Automation! Yup, my goal in life now is to automate everything! I want to come home and have the garage door open with music starting to play while the lights turn on with coffee made and food waiting on the table in front of the window so I can watch the lawn get mowed while the clothes are drying. If I could, I would even have someone sleep for me so I don’t have to wake up to the noise of the alarm clock sending out that ear piercing chill that makes me want to shatter glass with my bare hands.

I truly believe the key is organization. Simply knowing what I must do is not enough, if I can plan it out, think ahead on the details in a preemptive fashion, success will quickly find me.

Speaking of time, that’s all for now, I have to get some sleep before work and if I hurry I might be able to close my eye’s long enough to actually see the inside of my eyelid’s.

So, Once again, this is Magic Mike Coffee saying...Live your dreams, and don’t let time rule your life, instead, buy a sledge hammer and get to work.

DAY 23 More Gold!

Coming home after a long night at the casino. I’m tired but still excited about the new traffic getting tools I found online a few days ago. I can’t wait to check online and see how many hit’s I’ve had on my website’s since putting the new tools to work.

I’m checking the new Sokule profile along with the Kuletrack stats to see how many new followers I have on my twitter page. I am also checking the High Traffic Mart site to see how many hit’s I’ve gotten using the new links.

The High Traffic Mart links are the coolest thing I’ve found online. Since it’s a free service and produces add credits which shows my links on other people’s web pages all over the net, I am excited to see how many click they generated.

Since I have been learning how to do affiliate marketing online these new tools are exciting because if they work like I think they will, it will help me greatly in attaining my goal of becoming debt free this year.

I am excited to tell you that the new links generated over 50 hits each! Thats awesome because that means it works! Now that I have some new way’s to generate traffic to my sites, its time to work on finding new affiliate offers to promote. With these tools in hand I could possibly make some nice cash online on the side which I can take to pay off some bills.

Most people it seems think that online marketing doesn’t work but I am here to tell you that it does! Although I haven’t made any money online yet, I know it’s just a matter of time! My goal of becoming debt free is the motivation behind getting these things set up and running but I know that once I hit my goal they will still continue to bring in money. I am hoping that I can continue to make money from these ventures for a long time to come, even after I have hit my goal of becoming debt free.

I like my job and have no intentions of changing it any time soon but it would be nice to work for extra money instead of only making enough to barely survive.

Another place to look for affiliate programs is using a third party site called clickbank.com. This is a free listing of affiliate programs to promote and today I am looking into some new ones to use. I can’t wait to start receiving income from my online ventures. Once I have these set up I will switch gears and start looking for real estate to invest in.

Initially, I started the real estate business with my mom so we could make the money we needed. We will still do real estate but are also trying to create multiple sources of income. I figure that this way, with several different ventures bringing in money I won’t have to rely on just one and will be able to look at each one with an open mind.

It’s easy to stress out over a source if it’s the only one you have, this is why having a diverse set of systems helps to look at each one more objectively.

I am excited about the new progress, it’s nice to see something actually work the way it is supposed too! Even though I could stay up all day working on this I will get some sleep and prepare for the week ahead.

this is Magic Mike Coffee saying...until the next post, act on your dreams!

Day 22 Friday Madness

Yesterday I told you about my new traffic getting tool from High Traffic Mart and how I found it by posting and taking action even when I didn’t feel like doing it.

Since I was true to my goal and took action I was led to this new tool by a friend of mine on Facebook. I must say, this new tool is revolutionizing my traffic flow and getting me more clicks then I could have imagined! It’s hard to believe that something so simple and free could work so well, but I am here to tell you that it has!

This is simply a testament to taking action! Like I always say, successful people work on their goal even when they don’t feel like and since I did the same thing I have now seen the results of persistence!

Today, High Traffic Mart has not only gotten me more clicks but has also led to some new tools along with the affiliates. One of which is called Sokule and works well with twitter. This posting service is also a network of like minded internet marketers that link together to help each other out and get more exposure.

Another tool they have is called kultrack and it works hand in hand with Sokule, together they link to my Twitter account and help me generate more targeted traffic then I would have thought.

I spent most of the day setting up the profiles for these new tools and posting the links they provided to earn add credits and drive more traffic to my sites. So far my blog is gaining popularity, although the progress is slow, it’s happening! I am excited to help people while taking action on my ideas and hopefully helping someone along the way.

Even though I need to sleep today in order to be ready for work tonight, I am so excited about this new technique I found that I just can’t help myself. I know this is the hardest night of the week for me but I also know that one must sacrifice in order to get to where I want to be. My goal is to be debt free this year and this is exciting because these are the things I must do to get there, so even though I’m tired, I am willing to go the extra mile to see my dream come true!

As usual, I say to all, keep following your dreams by taking action!

DAY 20 Loitering

Here I am, Loitering in my own room, if you can call it that. I say that because I seem to be out of inspiration today. Although I am happy to have the day off from work and should be typing or working away online, I seem to be having a "writers block" day.

Ever have one of those days when you just couldn’t seem to get going? I know how you feel!

As I stated in earlier posts, successful people work towards their goal even when they don’t feel like it, so to continue in that inspiration I am writing this blog today even though I feel I might now have much to say.

My goal with this blog is to post everything I do each day on my road to being debt free by June 1st this year. I though it would be fun to write down each action I take no matter how big or small. I thought it may help others to know that anyone can chase their dreams if they simply decide to do it and hopefully by reading these posts they would gather more inspiration to get going on it even if they don’t know how.

Yesterday I talked about affiliate marketing online and how I have been learning the ropes and getting started with this strategy. I still believe it’s possible to make enough money through this process to pay my bills and help me to my goal of becoming debt free this year.

I know this is a short post today but I figure it’s not always about the content, in this case, it’s the idea of finishing what I started. My goal this year was to write in my blog each day the steps that I take and while I feel like I am failing today, I am at least going to complete one thing even if all that means is staying true to my idea of writing something each day.

So..In the "spirit" of keeping true to my word I am at posing this even though I feel it could be better. I think its important to finish something and just the physical act of writing this blog today, no matter how lacking the content may be, is to me an important example of taking action on my dreams. I’ll tell you why I feel this to be true, even though there is not much content to this post, I feel the action of doing it is still consistent with my idea to take action and since that is something in my life I need to change I am continuing on even though I don’t feel inspired.

Thanks again for reading, hopefully tomorrow will bring better results, so stay tuned! At least I can say that even though I didn’t feel like taking action today I did it anyway and changing the past by applying action in the present is, today, my way of chasing my dreams.

Until the next post

Day 19 Affiliate Training

Tuesday morning and I’m just returning from the Red Cup Cafe. As you know, I also work nights at the casino and was "released" around 9am. This is the first day of my 3-day weekend so I am excited about some time off.

We just came from the cafe, where, every week we meet with a friend to discuss raising money to send medical supplies to Africa. One of the way’s we do this is through Affiliate marketing online. While I am still fairly new to the idea, I have done lot’s of research and am currently working on several way’s to use this strategy.

My new friend at the cafe is also using the affiliate marketing techniques to raise money for the medical supplies she needs. It’s nice to finally meet someone I can talk to about this because most of my friends don’t think it’s possible. She is also learning this strategy and I have been able to help her with some things I have learned.

I showed her how to use the google calendar along with other products to help her be more efficient online. She is like a sponge absorbing everything she can get her hands on. The thing I like the most is the fact that she is older then me but does not let that stand in her way. Most people think it’s to late for them start something new and she is an example of how to keep moving forward no matter how old you are. She is by no means and old lady, I am simply saying that it’s nice to meet someone who doesn’t let age stand in the way.

With this attitude I think she will go far. We are learning the online business together from the ground up. There is so much to it that it is easy to get lost in a sea of information. I try my best to weed through the multitude of online offers and seek out the best info I can using well known sources with a good track record.

Affiliate marketing is an awesome way to get started in online marketing. It’s probably the cheapest and best way to begin because you don’t need a website to get started. There is a lot of work involved the idea of simply sending traffic to someone’s website and getting paid a commission, it’s a simple idea and it works. The trick is to find ways to successfully generate enough traffic to pay for the advertising costs of paid per click or any other source of advertising. There are many other ways to generate free traffic but it takes time to build a names list to market to and one must set up accounts with multiple social media sites to start getting a steady stream of clicks.

Generating traffic for any website or program be it yours or another party is a fascinating process. It can get quite complicated to keep track of so many profiles, logins and passwords but its a necessary evil if one is to be successful at it.

The whole process is amazing to me and I spend most of my time online building blogs and then directing traffic to them in order to make money from the links therein. I am by no means an expert yet but I am doing all I can to learn how to be successful at this idea.

Blogs are one way to earn, another is having your own website. I started one a while back and although it’s not mine anymore and was sold to someone else, at least it still works and is making money. That means that I must be learning something and doing it right to make a site that is still working.

We built that site from nothing using the stores online software and while I can’t wait to build more, my goal for now is to generate income promoting other people links. One thing I do is this blog for instance. My purpose for this blog is 3 fold, one, to learn the process of traffic generation by doing it from the ground up, two, to raise money from the google links on the page and three, to possibly help people become motivated to chase their own dreams by posting information that helps them along their own way.

I figure that even though I am not the expert that some people may enjoy watching someone start from scratch and make it work. I hope that it helps someone along the way.

So, with that, I want to say thanks for stopping by and reading my posts, following along with my online ventures and hopefully I can help you too.

With that, I’m going to call it a day, until the next time,

This is Magic Mike Coffee saying.....Follow your dreams and put Action to them!

DAY 18 Value of Free Seminars

It’s Monday again, already! Only one more night to go until my weekend days! Monday’s are cool to me, I like them because unlike most people, it signifies the end of the week for me, so while most are dreading the beginning I am looking forward to the end, for me, it’s my Friday!

Most of the world seems to live for the weekend and I am no different. There is nothing wrong with looking forward to time away from work for any reason but it is sad to me that this is the only thing most of us have to look forward to during the week. For this reason my goal this year is to schedule different activities and even trips throughout the year. There are many things one can do in the city for entertainment or at the very least to further your education or life experience. One of the best is going to a free seminar! I love them, you know the ones I’m talking about, those pesky infomercials that come on late at night. They offer you the world and make it sound so easy!

It’s funny to me how because these offers sound to good to be true that people will use that as an excuse not to go the them. I never understood that, even though you know they are there to sell you something doesn’t mean you have to buy what they are offering. To me, they are great opportunities to see business from a different perspective. Think about it, even though you know going in that your not going to buy for what ever reason you can still go and enjoy what they have to say.

I love going to these, many of them are free and even offer free gifts and sometimes lunches! To me this is a fun reason to get out of the house and do something different. It only costs you some gas money and who knows, you might even learn something!

IT’s also fun for me because I enjoy going to new hotels, just the whole experience of being in a professional setting with people who are in a good mood and have something positive to say is a great reason to go. We are constantly bombarded in life with negative input from many different sources such as the news, friends, family, strangers who just cut us off in traffic, you name it, the list is endless. This reason alone is enough to get me to go, even if I don’t like what they have to say or agree with their method or sales pitch, just the fact that I got to go out and see a new place, meet some energetic people and learn something new about the market place is enough reason for me to do it.

There is a lot to be said about being around positive people or having some kind of regular activity or event where you can get some positive input or feedback. Church does the trick for a lot of people and while there is nothing wrong with that it does tend to be one sided sometimes. All I mean by that is the fact that normally you are there for only one reason, be it there is nothing wrong with that reason and there is nothing wrong with going because it can be a real source of positive energy to be around and if this is your only outlet then by all means take advantage, all I am saying is that they are there to worship, nothing more. I realize this may not be the case in every church, I am simply saying that I think it’s important to get other views of the world that your not expecting. Church is great and serves it’s purpose and there a many reasons to go, I am simply saying that it’s a big world out there with many different points of view and I think it helps to be involved in different arena’s so as to get a well rounded view of the world and it’s struggles and passions.

I am simply trying to say, that I don’t think church should be the only place you get positive input or feedback on your dreams or goals. Find like minded people to hang around, pick the people with similar goals or industries like real estate for instance. I like to go to the local real estate investors meetings, they have them once a month and they are a great source of positive input and information. Many of them even go to church and they also realize that finding like minded people in your area of interest is an important part of a well rounded schedule. Just being around people who have the same interests as you do will help you move on your ideas because they help you see the same thing in a different way and sometimes that is all you need to get going.

So, my advice is get out there, take advantage of some of the free seminars available. Try them out, go in with an open mind, learn what you can and don’t worry if can’t buy anything, your main goal is to get out, do something different, it’s free and you just might learn something about the market place you didn’t know before while having a good time and networking with like minded people.

That is what I am doing today, I am adding the dates of the next investors meeting to my schedule and calling for free info on an infomercial I saw last night about the stock market.

I am looking forward to going to the free seminar, learning something about the stock market which is another avenue I plan to explore in the future when I have some money to invest. I can’t wait to learn how to day trade online in the future. Even though this is a long term goal I still need info about it and this is the perfect opportunity to get some in a fun way.

That’s all for today, until the next post;

DAY 17 Hope Abounds

Another Sunday has come and gone, my my, how time flies when your having fun!

This was mostly a day of rest for me although I did work online some more. Doing research of warehouse properties to use for my new poker idea.

I have always wanted to develop a weekly show with the setting around a poker room. Shoot it like the do the E.R. episodes, the only difference would be the situations would revolve around a poker room. Show the behind the scenes stuff like what the dealers go through on a daily basis and so forth. More on this idea in a later post.

For now, today is resting up for the up coming weekend to have the energy to do make the most out of my days off.

I did learn something interesting today, it goes along with my feeling putting action to my dreams this year. I always try to learn something new each day, even when it comes from a source I wasn’t expecting, in this case, it came from the unknown, a player at the casino.

His words, which I hate to say, were actually inspiring. I say "hate to say it" because I have grown immune to the players and their petty views on life, which explains why they spend all their time chasing money by gambling, but sometimes, even they have a lucid moment and one must pay attention to all sources in order to gain the most out of life.

This player pointed out the even though we all have things we want out of life, we often put them off with no regard as to why. We often justify our existence or circumstances and decide to settle for less even when we don’t really want to. Now, this alone was not the revelation of insight I am speaking about, I now all to well about losing time and not acting on the things I want, which is the purpose of my new found reason for being this year and that is to put action to my ideas.

The thing that struck me about what he said was not the words or ideas he was speaking about, not they are not important, because they are, but it was the fact that he said it. What struck me was the realization that everyone has something on the inside that they want to do.

I knew this to be true, but it was nice to hear someone else say it. It’s easy to forget that there are others in the world that think or feel the same way we do. We tend to forget or feel sorry for ourselves, thinking that we are the only ones that feel that way and that is simply not always true. There are many people with similar feelings and thoughts and to me it’s comforting to know that I am not the only one out there who feels the same way.

Knowing this helps me to not get to down on myself about any one thing because I know that I am not the only one going through it. It doesn’t matter what it is, just the thought that others may have the same struggle helps me to know that I am still normal for feeling that way and this thought helps me deal with it in a realistic fashion.

This thought of acting now was in my mind all day, so when I got home, even though I was tired, I got online and worked toward my goals some more.

Thats all for today, until the next time.
