Post #10: My Favorite Books

It seems I’ve read more books in my adult life than I did all through my school life, which I’ll bet a lot of people say the same thing.

One thing though, I’m not big on novels and fiction type books.  I’m more into the self-help style of books, but I do deviate from that genera if I’m interested in the author or the subject.

That being said, I’ll list several books I’ve read (or am reading) just so you know where I’m coming from.  I will not list what these books are about, but if you want to know, leave a comment and we’ll go from there. 

Also, they are in no particular order.

The Game – Neil Strauss.
Have A Nice Day – Mick Foley
What To Say When You Talk To Yourself – Shad Helmstetter.
How To Win Friends and Influence People – Dale Carnegie
The Secret Code of Success – Noah St. John (Who I also got the privilege of interviewing)
Imagintellegence – William Marts (very interesting book. He’s a personal friend of mine as well)
The Art Of War – Sun Tzu

The funny part is, these books have helped me get through life much more than any books I have read in my schooling.  Isn’t it funny how schools don’t follow the same styles of top business men and women then wonder how these business men and women get to be where they are?  Hmmm……

Post #9: Promotional Sunday

Because I have so many friends out there in the internet world, I occasionally like to give them props and promote for them.  What better way than to do it from my blog, right?

Also, I don't promote just anything, I have to have some sort of relationship with the people I talk about.  Whether it be a phone relationship or we have met face to face, I WILL KNOW the person in some capacity.

All that being said, today I'm promoting my good friend Kelly Rudolph.  Kelly is the proud owner of "Positive Women Rock" and has several years of dynamic accomplishments is several fields under her belt.  When she's got something, you better believe it's top notch because that's how Kelly operates.

Kelly has something really cool going on that's called "PWR Fit 2010"!  I won't get into details here about what that is, so I encourage you to check out the link to get the full story of what this program is.

Post #8: Saturday Morning Garage Sales

You know, one of my favorite things to do on a Saturday morning here in Sunny SW Florida is go garage sailing.  I like driving around seeing the neighborhoods and chatting with people.

Occasionally, you'll find something you like and bingo, you get what you like for a good price.  It's a win-win for everyone involved! 

Some people don't like this garage sale idea, which is fine.  No one will ever talk you into or out of it.  You either like it or you don't, it's that simple.

Garage Sales are a lot like the internet marketing business.  With a garage sale, you can visit 10 sales, go through what's being offered and nothing seems to click with you, so you move on.  For whatever reason, that particular sale just doesn't cater to what you're after.  But, the 11th sale may have just the thing you're looking for and you get it!  That's just too cool.

With the Internet Marketing world, it's the same thing.  You can visit 10 people's websites, look through what they have to offer and it just doesn't click with you, and you move on.  But, the 11th website may have just the thing you're looking for and you subscribe to it! 

See how similar they are?  One of the things I do with my Internet Marketing business is really think outside the box to make analogies.  I like to think I come up with some doozies sometime and I hope this one makes sense to you!

Until Next Time,
Ciao!

Post #7 in Blog Challenge: Affilaites

Post number 7 in the 30 day blog challenge!  Whoo Hoo!

Still learning all the little intriquicies about how to do it and be successful with it, but as long I keep writing, I guess that will come. 

People always wonder what to write about, but I don't have that issue.  I've been told I write like I talk, and believe me, I'm never at a loss for words!  LOL

Today's topic will be more of a direction.  I'm gonna direct everyone to my affiliate center.  The affiliate center is full of information from friends of mine who happen to have "stuff" on the internet for you that could possible change your career, business, or lifestyle.  All you gotta do is check it out and then check them out. 

Will everything interest you?  Nope, sure won't.  But then again, you will never know until you actually check it out and look at everything available for you. 

A lot of these folks I have interviewed, which was an absolute blast to do so.  (you can read about that part of my business in another post). 

I consider the Affiliate Center as my gift to the internet world.  Check it out, you'll like what you see.

New Interview Coming Soon

For all that are a part of my network, you know about all the interviews I do.  Well, this month we're doing something a bit outside the box for us.  The Interview Series is interviewing a Social Media Expert on how to monetize your Facebook page!

That's right, Gina Carr has agreed to be our guest so we can pick her brain on how to use FaceBook to create income.  How much income, you ask?  Well, that's totally up to you.

I'll admit, I haven't had much luck with monetizing my FaceBook page.  I basically have fun with it, but I figured I may as well learn to start making money with it.

Gina and I have been friends for a couple of years so I approached her and asked if she would like to do something for all my subscribers, and she said yes! 

I love interviewing people I previously know, we get into some great discussions and it's good for people to know our back ground.  Last year, I interviewed one of my best friends.  (we used to be roommates before he got married.  I was best man at his wedding).  So, needless to say, we had a great conversation and people really enjoyed it.

If you want to catch this month's interview with Gina Carr, and maybe check out the past interviews, just head over to www.TheInterviewSeries.com and join us.  I'm sure you'll have a blast!

Mechanical Issues

Today's post will be a bit different.  I recently was told that my blog posts, for whatever reason, do not allow others to comment on them.  Hmm, that's strange.  I've been digging into WordPress trying to find out what's going on.  I've even changed themes and still don't know what the issue is.

I'm sure, somewhere down the line, I changed a setting somewhere and I'm trying to figure out what it was.  So, in the meantime, if you have a comment for me, please be patient until this issue gets resolved, ok?

For those of you wondering…"Andrew, just what is it you do on the internet?"  I would go into details now, but I'll wait until I get the comment issue resolved.

On a personal note, I'm really digging this 30 day blog challenge!  Just need to keep going and see what happens next!

Blog Challenge

People are asking me why I've decided to participate in the 30 Day Blog Challenge with Connie Greene.  Well, there are several reasons.  The main one being I have a new focus on the direction I'm taking my online business and I've been wondering how to go about this change.  I've been wanting to do something different, something I haven't done in the past. 

When I got the email from Connie about the challenge I said, "This is it!  This is exactly what I need to get going in the direction I want to go!" 

So far, I haven't written much about my business (but you can check them out by going to the links on the right side of the page), and that's by design.  Since there's a lot of behind the scenes stuff going on, I want to get all that straightened out the way I want it before I go full out and market the heck out of it.

For now, all you gotta know is it's coming and it will be worth it.  Hey, why don't you subscribe to my stuff and stay informed about what's going on in the world of Andrew?   Fill out the form in the upper right and you're good to go!

We'll chat again soon!

Today’s Workout

For all who don't know it, I'm an avid workout dude.  Been a gym rat for a LONG time.  A few years ago, I discovered a program called "P90X".  Most people know about it from all the infomercials floating around out there.

I have a full review of the program listed on the links on the right side of the page, so feel free to check it out there.

Anyway, today's workout was P90X Chest/Back. This one is a tough one.  This will work you, I don't care what kind of shape you're in, this workout will bring you to your knees, if you put an honest effort into it.

Also, since getting back to consistency with this workout stuff about a month ago, I have really….REALLY seen a major difference in my upper body.  Also, giving up sugar (the best I can) has done wonders as well.

I have an absolutely PHENOMENAL virtual coach who is the best at what she is.  For those that don't know what a virtual coach is, stay tuned as I'll be interviewing her in the next few months, but that's another story. 

Anyway, little by little you're getting little glimpses of who Andrew is and what makes him tick!

Stay tuned for more to come!

Fun Fact To Know About Andrew – #1

For those that don't know it, one of my hobbies is dancing.  Yes, you heard that right….dancing!  Not just any dance, but more of the West Coast Swing variety. 

Some background:  After college, I decided to pursue ballroom dancing.  I've never done it before, I've never really watched much, but something about it made me want to investigate how to dance.  So, I contacted a dance studio and started taking lessons.  Yup, it was that simple.

If you look at me, you would never think I'm a dancer.  Matter of fact, folks have mistaken me for a body builder and a pro wrestler (which I wouldn't mind having that as a career, but that's a different story).

Now, for those of you that don't know it, dancing is an expensive hobby, especially the ballroom side of dancing.  And, it's not like you can go out to a night club and do that kind of dancing.  So, I was basically stuck doing that kind of dancing at a dance studio.  But I wanted something more.

I discovered West Coast Swing around 10 years ago or so and I've been hooked ever since.  Am I good?  Nope, but I have fun doing it.  Do I compete?  Yup, but again, I'm not that good.

One of the best things about WCS is that fact that it can be danced just about anywhere.  Whether in a dance studio, at some fancy nightclub, a local biker bar, or your living room, it doesn't matter.  AND, it's extremely fun to do!

So there you have it, a fun fact to know about Andrew.

Well, here goes…

OK, so I've started this blog challenge.  Basically, it's a challenge, if you will, to do at least 30 blog posts in a span of 30 days.  So, if I'm doing my math right, that's like one blog post per day. 

As of yet in my Internet Marketing career, I have NOT been consistent with my blog postings, so this will give me the chance to make something of it.

For those of you that have been following my other businesses (www.EcourseCentral.com, www.RealMortgageTraining.com) know that I'm all about the training aspect of things.  I love focusing on the inner game of people.  But, since I also do interviews (www.TheInterviewSeries.com), and I really like talking with people, I plan on focusing most of my attention that way and provide the public with more frequent interviews. 

Also, throughout this challenge, you will be getting to know who Andrew is.  So, keep checking back and we'll be getting to know each other!
