I’m not a fan of people who sit around and slack. Moreso, I dislike people who talk about business this, idea that, but don’t actually take action on anything. Most of ALL, I can’t STAND people who make a big deal about concealing their ideas for fear of someone stealing their grand, amazing, [...]
In my last post, I talked about keeping track of your net worth by keeping a spreadsheet with a running tally of your various incomes every month. After doing this a few days ago, I noticed a few columns on the spreadsheet that curiously racked up some significant figures annually. What’s interesting about these sources [...]
Today I was buying a candy bar at the convenience store, only $0.50, chump change right? Yes, but it got me thinking about how much money I’m spending at the convenience store every week… and furthermore…
How much money / assets do I own total?? i.e. what is my net worth?
So I just spent an [...]
So I’ve come to a revelation.
Basically the gist of this revelation is that the focus of creating and marketing new products is NOT about making money or increasing your customer base. (Much) more importantly, the bottom line of it all is how to make people CARE about your product. You see… if someone doesn’t even [...]
Recently, I bought a very slick and innovative watch, the Lexon e8. Here it is:
I’m not gonna lie. It was not cheap. I could almost buy an iPod for the price. But a worthy investment in my opinion. It’s a new way to read time and the equalizer-like style is [...]
I’ve been thinking about the path to becoming a successful musician. I’m sure a lot of aspiring musicians are thinking about this 24-7. After some contemplation, here are Tony’s 5 steps to musical fame:
Work your ass off and become good excellent at whatever it is that you do. This is where passion kicks in. If [...]
There has been a significant shift in the reason we still purchase music these days. Ten years ago, the reason we bought a music album was because of one of the following:
Enjoyed a song from the artist on the radio
Found the artist attractive
Friend’s recommendation
Saw a memorable live performance
In other words, we bought albums for [...]
I’ve been offered a few jobs and offers through geekwhat.com. But nothing remotely close to the status of the big baller bloggers.
The rags to riches stories of the successful bloggers on the Internet really amaze me. These guys basically sit at a computer, churn out (good content) blog posts, and reel in the big bucks. [...]
Have you watched ‘Pirates of the Carribean’? I just watched it again recently. Remember Jack Sparrow? He said one thing that I dig much. The dialogue went something like this:
Captain of ship: “You’re just about the worst pirate I’ve ever heard of!”
Jack Sparrow: ”Ah, but you have heard of me.”
This is a business lesson in disguise. [...]
I think that setting milestones/deadlines is the surest way of achieving something.
Especially if you’re not working for the man.
At a job:
The man sets deadlines for you, so that you can be productive during the time when the man is paying you.
