Not only did I hit the goal of running 2.5 miles today but also did this while running hills. I’ll have the goal of running 3.x miles needed for me to start doing 5ks on weekends by the end of this coming week.

I will also have my first 2 information/service products done within this time frame. One will be on SEO friendly/hacks to popular forum scripts (phpbb, vbulletin, and simplemachines)…the other on the domaining (and development) industry.

Speaking with a client of mine today, the topic of how to create a custom paypal button came up. So instead of leaving that bit of information in email space I thought I’d share with anyone else that stumbles upon this blog:

1) Log into paypal
2) Click on “Merchant Services” (dark blue tab in top middle of page)
3) Click on > Website Payments Standard (on left side navigation menu)
4) Now you can choose on what type of item you want to sell:

a) Sell Single Items (This is the case for most people)
b) Sell Mulitple Items
c) Accept Contributions
d) Accept Recurring Payments (great for hosting, & ongoing service contracts or consulting retainers)
e) Sell Gift Certificates

For our purposes we’ll now go into the Sell Single Items menu

What the hell are you talking about Sean?

Yeh, I hear ya… Well the wife and I decided to start training for a triathalon this coming year and I need to put together that 3.x miles of running. I haven’t run 2 miles straight in many many many years so this morning was an accomplishment.

Why am I blogging about this? Quite simple. I find that my recent (only been able to do 1 mile and about 45-50min on my bike) training has really been helping me focus getting projects done for myself and clients.

Taking action daily, scheduling things in life that are important, working through things that are blocking you (pain, distractions, etc) just seem to…well…be what works!

I encourage you to push through whatever is in your way. Schedule your life and make it happen, it feels awesome.

(Yes, some of this is my endorphins speaking and it feels great!)

type-atcha-later,

Sean

I was reading one of my favorite domainer blogs today (Frank Schilling’s - 7 Mile) and thought I’d pass along a quote I am totally ‘feeling’ these days when talking to clients:

“In life, attitude is altitude. When most people don’t understand the usefulness of domain names and half the population doesn’t use the Internet, there is still a great deal of untapped opportunity for you to make your mark, but you’ve “gotta wanna”. Find a good name, create a rudimentary site and repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat.. Buy low sell high and repeat, repeat, repeat.. Find your sweet spot add value for an existing player and repeat, repeat, repeat. The world is your oyster.”
