quickie — $100 for $1 (anti-cyber Monday)

I’m in the middle of composing an epic post that simplifies the whole business world and applies it to your web site. In the meantime, I had to let you know about a time-sensitive deal. (It has nothing to do with ”black Friday”, ”cyber Monday”, or ”arbitrary Tuesday” sales — but does have a deadline in a couple days!)

Marlon’s special video

One of the upstanding pillars of online business, Marlon Sanders, has just posted a video that I think you’ll find profitable. I was going to make something like this myself, but Marlon’s already done a great job and you can get started with it today.

(Even if you ”know” what he talks about, it’ll be a good check to make sure you’re still focusing on the right things.)

P.S. Yes, he’s selling something. If it makes sense, give him a dollar and he’ll give you almost $100 worth of content this week. But only do it if it makes sense for you to earn more right now.

And keep your eyes peeled for my epic post later this week!

Update: Marlon changed his video when he changed his offer. I just updated the link. He’s still got a $1 offer and some good content. Check it out.

Stupid, Addicted, or Just Avoidance/Resistance?

Ryan Healy recently wrote a couple articles that came to mind today:
Why People are Addicted to Info-Products
Is the Internet Making Us Stupid?

Today has been an S.O.S. day (Shiny Object Syndrome). And just like the mariner in distress that SOS means I need help. (Because I feel rather stupid and addicted!)

I realized I was looking for my “hit” by refreshing email, twitter, facebook, and not doing the things I wanted to get done today. So I focused that “nervous energy” into writing this blog post. This has a few positive results.

The first positive result is that I have now created more content, which is one of my tasks for every day. I just happened to get it done earlier today than I usually schedule my content creation.

Second positive result, I will have a legitimate reason to go on a social media site (to post a link to this blog post) and then get off. If I go with no specific outcome in mind, I end up idling on twitter following random links I tagged earlier for follow up.

Third positive, I’m getting a hit of my own personal mix of neurochemical “happy juice” from several aspects. I love creating, so I get a hit there. I am getting something done ahead of schedule, so I get a hit there. I have a small win to celebrate, so I get a hit there.

And the biggest positive result, as far as I’m concerned, is that I’ve just done something productive rather than succumbing to the Resistance (as Steven Pressfield calls it in The War of Art) and I’ve won a small battle against Avoidance (as T. Falcon Napier calls it).
