Today I finally finished all my school activities of this semester, finally a bit more freedom (not complete freedom cause I’ll new be spending some time working). I actually did good, I’m still waiting for two of my teachers to give me my grades, but I estimate getting 96 out of 100 as a total.
On the other hand, a couple months ago I entered a contest on Teenormous and actually won something, I was one of the one hundred winners and got a 25 dlls coupon to spend on one of the several online t-shirt stores they gave me to choose. So I opted to use it on Stylin Online and got this awesome Wolverine t-shirt:
So yeah, and now I hope I can use all the upcoming free time to think on something good or improve my online entrepreneurship. Also hoping my mexican cellphone carrier Telcel won’t be a douche and overprice the new iPhone 3G S (which will be here in México by July) so I can consider getting it.
If you don’t know already, I want to be a successful entrepreneur. At this point in time I’m pretty much just a wannabe that’s always looking how to learn more, and here are some important things I’ve learned along the way:
1) Network.
When I started Política de Hoy all my traffic was based on the free Google advertisement I was using, after I ran out of credit the place was pretty much dead, I was only getting a couple of daily visits from search engines. As soon as I started networking things began to go up a bit. So this works pretty much for every single business model around, meet people, help or offer something useful and free for them and in the end you should end up growing or creating strong relationships. You get the idea.
2) Spend your money on assets so your cash flow grows.
Recently I’ve been reading “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” book, and the greatest lesson so far is that if you want to be rich you need to spend your money on assets and not on liabilities, for example: you’ve worked hard and now have 80 grands, instead of buying a new car invest that money on something that will generate cash for you. Always spend a bigger portion of your earnings on assets, then go off shopping for those toys everyone wants to show off.
3) Don’t let people kill your dreams.
Like two months ago this galician went to my school and gave us a speech about motivation, and this is the biggest thing I’ve learned so far:
He went to SeaWorld one day with his family, when they got to the shark aquarium her daughter saw big and small sharks, she said: “look dad, a kid shark and a grownup shark”. The guy that took care of the sharks was around and heard what the little girl just said, so he replied: “that’s stupid, they are all the same age, the difference is that I kept one in a small container so he wouldn’t grow more, the other one grew up naturally”. So the galician guy went of to research to see if it was true, and it was. So he told us that us human’s dreams are just like sharks, and the people around us are the ones that influence us on what kind of shark we are going to grow up like.
Bottom line, don’t let people kill your dreams by telling you “you’ll never achieve that”, “it’s impossible to do that”, “you’ll never get that far”, and so on, just ignore them so that you don’t end up on the small shark container.
You might already know the swine flu is pretty big here in México, so I’m pretty much on vacations until May 6 (started on Monday, April 27). Since then I’ve been doing homework I get from the school’s internet platform (BlackBoard) and I’m really liking it, not a long time ago I’ve been really interested in online education, and now I’m having a taste of it lol, it’s so cool because you don’t wast time commuting, you can do everything at your own pace, you can adapt the homework to your schedule, etc. Besides that, I’ve been playing Guild Wars like an addict, and the casual internet activities.
Anyway, the reason of the post is because I found 3 videos on YouTube that caught my attention:
The first one caught my attention because that last part is true, I actually see all this MMOs as a cultural phenomena. And the last two almost made me cry to honest, never judge a book by its cover.
I’ve been enjoying trance music for a while now, and I now consider it my favorite genre. I like it so much, that I want to learn how to make good trance songs, on a Google search I found this tutorial, which is pretty good: How to Make Trance Music.
One of the reasons that I also want to learn is because I also like GarageBand (an application that comes with iLife on all macs), and it would be nice to get all the juice from it. I figured owning one of these would be awesome:
It’s a “M-Audio Axiom 25 USB MIDI Controller Keyboard” and boy is it sexy or what? If you click the image it’ll take your to the Apple store, and as you can see, it’s $179.95, so I guess I won’t be getting my hands on it anytime soon.
And finally, I recommend a lot checking out this site: “Viking Trance“, it’s a trance internet radio station, I’m listening it right now on iTunes, they have awesome stuff going on right now.
