I Just Launched My Product. Why Am I Not a Millionaire?

Posted on1 Comment

I’ve been meaning to write this post for awhile, but it’s finally, just now coming to me since I’ve had a little time away from Guitar Chord Kick-Start. If you don’t know, I spent the better part of 8 months developing, writing, designing, and producing a guitar-learning eBook. It was a major undertaking. The plan all along was to self-publish Guitar Chord Kick-Start, build a website, and sell it digitally. I launched the book on May 4th. In this post, Read More …

How to Be an Optimist: 8 Simple Tricks to Beating the Negativity

Posted onLeave a comment

I am a natural optimist. Being an optimist is part of being a head-in-the-clouds Pisces and it’s just who I am. But, working for myself and trying to build a business and brand for the past year and a half has shown me that it can be hard to stay that way. Even on my best, most productive days, I have moments of doubt, anger, and questioning. I know these things are completely natural when you’re a new entrepreneur, but Read More …

Positivity

7 Powerful Positivity Practices You Can Start Immediately

Posted onLeave a comment

Positivity makes everything better. Sometimes, when you’re down, you just have to trick yourself into being positive. Even if your initial positive thoughts are fake or forced, they will eventually become genuine. Optimism and positivity are so important to an entrepreneur’s daily life, yet they are so easy to overlook. When you’re struggling to figure out what to do, when you’re struggling to make money, it’s easy to get down. But, just like I wrote about with productivity last week, Read More …

3 Easy Secrets for Actually Beating Procrastination, Guaranteed

Posted onLeave a comment

I’d like to talk a little bit about productivity and beating procrastination. While I think the terms and diagnoses (whether fake or self-diagnosed) are thrown around far too liberally these days, I do believe in ADD in adults. I was officially diagnosed when I was about 17 and spent the better part of 8 or 9 years taking Adderall to combat this. As you can read on my other website (that I’m working to revamp currently), I didn’t like the way Read More …

Drive for Uber and Cash in a Referral Bonus When You Sign Up

Posted onLeave a comment

Lately, a few friends have asked me about what it’s like driving for Uber. Just like nearly every time I’ve been asked this question over the past couple years, it quickly led to them asking how to sign up to drive for Uber and cash in a referral bonus, too. After chatting with these people and doing some searching around the Internet, I realized that there’s still a bunch of folks out there who are interested in driving for Uber. I Read More …

My New Morning Routine: An Entrepreneur’s Quest for Ultimate Productivity, Happiness, and Fulfillment

Posted on2 Comments

I’ve never been a morning person. In fact, I’ve always been an extreme night owl and had little-to-no morning routine. I feel that the height of my creativity happens after 9pm and I am most excited late at night. While this works really well for my musician life and could potentially be doable in my blogger life, it doesn’t necessarily work well for having a wife, a dog, friends, family, and a real life. While I’ve never been good at sleeping Read More …

Finding Motivation When Working for Yourself

Posted onLeave a comment

The following 2 sentences are taken from my personal journal on March 2nd: It’s tough sometimes to be art director, production artist, author, copywriter, editor, and marketing guy. I find it difficult to make decisions, especially when trying to final-ok something. Man, is that true. When you’re working for yourself, you have no one to bounce ideas off of and no one to keep you in check. You have no real deadlines to meet because you created them. If you Read More …
