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.

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 …

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 …

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 …
