Greetings Blog Family,
Another week has come and gone. This time it has found me ready for it and aiming for the stars. I am fired up. As you will see over the next few weeks I have some very special material planned for this blog and am very excited about it.
It dawned on my not long ago that I wanted to own a media empire and have the influence and reach that many of the power stations had. This realization made me began to look at this blog and my other ones a little bit differently. Blogs and the Internet has given ordinary people like myself without hundreds of billions of dollars the power and access to reach millions if we have the ability or chops to make it happen. Well, I am going to find out because I love to get in front of the camera and share what I know. The wild thing is that I know many other people that feel the same, so as little organization and effort can make all of this a reality.
Last Week Goals
1. Video Blog at FreddieTaylor.com – I was successful in getting back on the video wagon here at FreddieTaylor.com with the launch of my weekly series, Balance. That was a lot of fun and it is replacing my Monday Motivational Moments that was a feature on this site.
The reason I changed the name is because I wanted to motivate, but there are some other subjects I want to get into as well and Balance will allow me to do so. As entrepreneurs, we cannot be so one sided and focused on money and the bottom line, there is just way too much more to life than that. Balance is my effort to discuss many of these issues as well.
2. Study New Business - I was able to study my new business model and am very excited about it. There is a little bit more understanding to go, but I will have to learn that on the fly. Now is the time to get out and get it going, so I will.
3. Prepare for my Picking Comps presentation - This past weekend, my partners and I held a 3 day event called the Ultimate Foreclosure Workshop. You can view it at UltimateForeclosureWorkshop.com. It was a stunning success. We had 17 paid participants, so there was some margin made and most importantly, the participants were excited about the information they received and pleased with their purchase. In short, we delivered, which is what you want when you are taking people’s money. Our thought is to under promise and over deliver….that we did.
As for my presentation, I thought it could have went better, but not a bad job. Like most entrepreneurs, I am pretty critical of myself and always expect better. Next presentation, I will do better.
This Week
Now is the time to roar into the next week and get it crackin! Here are my major goals for the week.
1. Plan – It is official in my mind that this is my last year in the appraisal business. I have to cut the cord and get out now. The question is what exactly will I do in the future, so I want to lay out a detailed plan to ensure that I am making solid progress everyday. This may take a week or so as I have several projects in the works, but need to tie them together in a cohesive way to capitalize on their synergies.
2. Complete Landing Page – One of my new ventures requires that I complete a video for this landing page I am creating. This has to get done and the sooner the better. So, I will be all over that early in the week and hopefully able to make it happen.
3. Full Week @ FT.com – I want to follow up my last week with another solid week here on this site. You will see a few more post as I back away from appraisal business and get more into my online work. I am very excited, but like any transition there is always some anxiety…However, I am ready to strike!
Let’s go get’em!
Now is our time to shine. I have defined my week and plan on being all over it. Will you do the same? If you don’t make the goals public, that is cool. Write them on your board, look at them, intimidate them, and get them done!
Last year in the appraisal business. Then he's all online… Livin' the dream. I love it. You're gonna' do it!
Thanks for the vote of confidence, Matty!!! I am looking forward to making it a reality. Time to have some fun in this life and not work so long and hard. That is not what it is all about.
Update, the plan is going slow this week cause my mind is scattered with all this opportunities. I am working on optimizing several of my sites to perform better at making money. Learning from one of the business I know Brilliant Jeni. She rarely blogs at http://www.brilliantjeni.com
Going to go check that site out now, as per your recommendation… Thanks for the tip
Matty, you might want to follow & befriend her on Twitter as she is there much more often that blogging. She has a strong passive income from other blogs, therefore, she travels at an insane rate, and rarely updates that site.
Get with her on Twitter here: http://twitter.com/brilliantjeni
I had been wondering where the brilliant Jeni was?! Any news?
The foreclosure workshop looked like a fabulous success. Good effort, Freddie! I think I need to send you more stuff for landing pages?!? I forget where we ended that conversation.
Will drop you an email.
Lovin your enthusiasm as always. Its inspiring Freddie!
Yeah son! You know what it is Taylor I love seeing where you're going and what you're doing man. You'll hit your goals because I know you don't quit running! Let's get it man!
Thanks, Joe! Let's get it!!!
I'm glad you got back to posting video posts. They're awesome and easier to "digest" than long, written posts. Keep it up.
I agree and thank you. I really do enjoy doing videos, so there will be more of those around here from here on out.
Nice to see you back to posting videos. I love your enthusiasm. Good work! Keep it up!
