How Many Posts?

Total posts?

Since March 2009, 1,152.  From five daily blogs, by the way.

Not bad for a guy who simply wants to “leave a trail” for his young (9 years old) son.

And, oh yeah, one other thing.  Not bad for a father that wants to help raise enough money until a cure is found for his son’s incurable disease.

Hopefully, you’ll never tire of hearing about this.  I don’t.  How could I?

World-Class Benchmarking

Benchmarking.  Seeing, not how others do things, but more importantly, seeing how others think.

I am a serious bench-marker.   Way more than the average bear.

There will come a time when my (five) blogs have more sophisticated features.  All good things take time.  Rome wasn’t built overnight.  I didn’t wake up one day and get to represent the United States at the WMA Master’s Track & Field World Championships.  It took a decade.

Anyway, this blog caught my eye because of Trent’s 14 Money Rules.  Click here to go to Trent’s blog.  Scroll down a bit, its on the right side column.

Money, like our mind, body and spirit, need constant attention, otherwise we will not reach our potential.

Shortcuts

We all look for shortcuts in our day to day living.  Shortcuts at home. Shortcuts at work.  Shortcuts while driving.

Why?

Because shortcuts save time.  And sometimes, money.  Who doesn’t want that?

Even bloggers look for shortcuts.  Like writing a brief post about shortcuts, to save time.  🙂

What about 200k?

Yeah, 200,000 is also a big number.  In fact, it’s the number that will make half-a-million possible.

Three is a small number.

What makes this so distracting is that the small number and the huge number are related. And I can’t get that out of my head.

Know how to keep a curious, easily distracted person in suspense (oh look, shiny)?

I’ll tell you tomorrow.  🙂

What’s Stopping You?

Excuses?

Attitude?

Fear?

Anger?

Doubt?

Good.  All these things mean you’re human.  There are a million ways to overcome these things.  The secret is to find your way.

That’s one of the biggest barriers – people want to be handed the recipe for success.  The reality is, you have to find it on your own.
