And it rocked…

Hitting goals personally and professionally are connected and I’m having a blast doing both. To top it off, how groovy is it to be able to run on amazingly clean part of California’s coastline.

Here’s a few shots of where this 5k took place in Avila Beach, California.

I swear Aunt Bee and Opie live here in what I lovingly refer to as “Kansas on the Coast”

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!)

“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.”

Before I go off on a tangent let me get back on track here. Podcasting, what is it. Simply creating an mp3 of yourself describing something or you doing an interview with someone. Once that’s done you need to wrap it up in a very specific rss (enclosure) format that I will cover in a future post and then get to submitting it to all of the major podcast directories (also will be included in an upcoming post).

Here is one of the most significant places you need to submit your podcast to — odeo.com. After you’ve submitted it you’ll want to do what they refer to as “claim it”…this simply involves logging in grabbing some html code and pasting it on your blog or specific rss feed.

Here’s a sample of what it looks like:

My Odeo Channel (odeo/aeac84fdcac45a0f)

Sound simple? It is once you walk through it a few times. For those that want a more hand holding, step by step guide, stay tuned! I’ll be putting out a guide on this in the very near future.

Take care and have a great rest of the week!

PS: If you have a profitable business online and are tied up in other projects or just not sure how to take it to the next level and are considering selling it…shoot me an email. I have an active group of buyers that are currently looking to buy online businesses in multiples of 18-36 months income…covering roughly the $40,000-$400,000 price range. If I negotiate a successful acquisition of your website/business my fees are 15% of the transaction figure.

I spent a few years in the USAF myself, but considered much of what I had to do a piece of cake compared to what’s going on in the world now.  Also much of the time I was deployed I was single which makes things a tad bit easier.  The men and women that are deployed now, in harms way…are really deserving a big heartfelt “Thank You.”
