Last Wednesday (8/27) I had the pleasure of meeting up with Yaro Starak, Ed Dale (wearing a Dan Raine name badge) and lots of other aspiring internet marketers at Stitch here in New York. Most people in attendance were there for Ed Dale, but as a long time reader of Entrepreneurs Journey I was there [...]
This was brought to my attention and I want to assure you that I am not the guilty party. From The Sun: A Civilian defence worker has admitted trying to smuggle heroin into Britain from Afghanistan on a military flight. Michael Doig, 24, was caught with the drug at Kandahar Airport on June 11. A [...]
Today the subway was running on alternate tracks due to construction, so I had to take the train to a stop that was a bit far from where I wanted to go. Despite the fact that it was cold outside I was looking forward to the walk. I got off the train and realized that [...]
A great set of videos on sales and marketing from Eben Pagan. If you have any interest in starting a business online, these are a must watch.
James Randi is an interesting character. He is a magician, escape artist, and a huge skeptic of paranormal claims. His foundation offers a one million dollar prize to anyone who can show, under proper observing conditions, evidence of any paranormal, supernatural, or occult power or event. Part of his reasoning for offering such a large [...]
I loved this story by Robin Bal over at the FortuneWatch blog: A man walked into a bank in New York City one day and asked for the loan officer.He told the loan officer that he was going to Philippines on business for two weeks and needed to borrow $5,000. The bank officer told him that the bank would need some form of security for the loan.Then the man handed over the keys to a new Ferrari parked on the street in front of the bank. He produced the title and everything checked out The loan officer agreed to accept the car as collateral for the loan.The bank’s president and its officers all enjoyed a good laugh at the guy for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan.An employee of the bank then drove the Ferrari into the bank’s underground garage and parked it there.Two weeks later, the guy returned, repaid the $5,000 and the interest, which came to $15.41.The loan officer said, “Sir, we are very happy to have had and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled…. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow “$5,000?.The millionaire replied: “Where else in New York City can I park my car for $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return”Well thats how the rich stay rich, they know a lot more about Money Management…. Look after your cents and the Dollars will look after themselves.

Break away from your computer. Let your inbox accumulate, don’t moderate your comments the second they come in, and stop checking your feedburner readers to decide whether life is worth living. Watching your site grow and develop is like watching water boil. If you watch it and wait impatiently it seems to take forever. However [...]
I decided to take a temporary step away from the world of blogging and I’ve had a lot of time to think about what this whole internet thing really means. A lot of my fears about what would happen if I stopped updating my blog haven’t happened. I didn’t lose readers, I actually had the [...]
One of my favorite bloggers Chartreuse does these remix posts. They are mostly just a collection of random links he finds around the net. He lays them out in a mixed up fashion and you have to dig around through them till you find something interesting. It feels a lot like shopping at a flea [...]
