As you may have seen from our previous post, FreddieTaylor.com has joined the Yakezie Challenge. The personal finance network of bloggers is amazing, but the members have taken things one step further.

This fall, we have organized into smaller teams where will will focus our efforts and help promote one another. I have decided to join Team #5, so things should get even more interesting around here.

These fall teams gives the members a change to associate with different bloggers that they may not have associated with in the past. It is a chance to get close with another group of wonderful people and promote them in the process.

Being this is a complete new blog, the opportunity to work with a group of bloggers like this is wonderful. I am looking forward to it and will do my best to help promote all of them.

Below is the list of bloggers on my Fall Team this year. Take a moment to visit each one of them, learn from their experiences, and enjoy their blogs in the process.

Greetings Blog Family,

The time has come for me to join the Yakezie family. Yakezie is a group of personal finance bloggers dedicated to selflessly helping others promote their websites and blogs. It is a wonderful network of entrepreneurs and blogreneurs. Over the last few months, I have had a great time networking with them, learning, and growing with some of my other websites.

I have been wanting to add FreddieTaylor.com to the network, but had a few hesitations. My main hesitation is the post requirements to be in the group. They ask for each member to post at least twice a week to be in Yakezie. Since I do video post mostly, I don’t really post more than once a week, but I am ready to take it to the next level. At the very least, I will do written post to hit the requirements, but I am ready and excited.

How does FreddieTaylor.com fit into Yakezie?

This is a great question. I am a motivational speaker. However, once you step back and think about it you see the great connection. In order to build your wealth and strengthen your personal finance, you need to be motivated. This will be my major aim on this site to show you the motivational side of wealth.

Beyond Wealth

In fact, this is going to be my slogan for the site. By providing weekly motivation, I hope to drive the Yaskezie nation to the next level. Public speaking is something I love to do and feel that I am pretty good at it.

Don’t worry, the site won’t be too preachy. I want to bring in real world examples from life as I strive to expand wealth in my world that goes beyond just financial, but incorporate personal growth, health, experience and lifestyle. By increasing your experience and growth in these areas, it will make you more likely to achieve your personal finance goals.

This journey is going to be a fun one. Hopefully, I can position myself as the motivational master of the Yakezie network and drive many of you to succeed and reach all of your personal finance goals. Haven’t discovered many blogs in the network with this niche, so it might turn out to be something special for me.

Alexa Start

As of today’s day, my Alexa ranking is 1,395,325. Since this will be my third blog in the Yakezie family, I have become rather good at dropping these Alexa rankings. However, getting my Alexa ranking below the 200K marker isn’t may main goal.

My main goal is to develop my skills as a speaker and presenter to provide quality motivation for the readership and the Yakezie family to grow.

With that said, I am ready to get started and am excited at the challenge. I have long thought my speaking could take front and center in my life, but I have not focused enough time and energy in making this dream a reality. Now is the time and this is the group.

Yakezie!

Isn’t it about time you followed your passion, Good People? I hope so. I hope you are tired of living for the sake of it and went for something greater. There is one thing the world needs more of and that is good people. But I like to add good people that are stretching, reaching, and grasping to do more and help more.

This is done by those that are following their passion, whatever that might be, and maximizing their abilities. Are you following your passion? Or, are you stuck in a rut living an existence that you don’t desire?

Allow me to be one of the first in wishing you a very, merry, and even happy new year. Who would have thought 2010 would have come around so fast? I know I didn’t.

Nevertheless, it is here and it is our time to shine. As with all new years, I believe in setting year long goals, following them, and holding myself accountable. Let me be honest, last year didn’t go so well for me. I didn’t plan very well, didn’t see a change that rocked my business world, but survived with my health and ambition, so it is on for 2010.

This year, I plan on doing things a little bit differently. First of all, I intend on mapping my course this year to a T and making sure that it comes out the way I intend for it to happen by getting up earlier, reaching out more, and working harder to make these things a reality.

This year, I will complete my dream board, 5 year goals, and 1 year plan of action to kick this life into overdrive. Now is the time and this is the year.

What are your plans for the upcoming year? Share a few goals with me as I do with you and let’s enjoy this journey together!

Happy New Year!

Ok, as of this video I, I am on day 75 of P90x. But I wanted to get a video in before the new year, so here I go.

Overall, this is a wonderful 90 day workout program for anyone wanting to gain control of the physical fitness and health. But a word of caution, this is a serious, high impact, high intensity workout routine for 90 straight days.

If that worries you, then maybe you should look into P90, which is a lessor version of the more extreme P90X. There is a difference.

Did you do P90X? What do you think?

Greetings Good People,

Hope all is well with you today and I am sure that it is. Today, we want to talk about thoughts and how they are things.

No matter what you think about the big, beautiful Universe we find ourselves in you have to admit that it is  perfect. There are no accidents and we are a part of it all. So much so, that whatever you think about tends to come true. And I will share an example of how this has happened in my life. I am sure you have some similar experiences in your life and I would love to hear about them below.

Just remember, what we have is a result of what we focus on. And what we focus on is a product of what we think. And the wonderful thing about thinking is that we have the power to control our thoughts. Use this power for the positive and good.

First in the Mind, then in Reality!

Greetings Good People,

Today we are discussing a very important topic, expectations. They are critical to consider because then tend to lead your life. People with low expectations usually reach them. While people with high expectations are typically enhanced by doing so.

Isn’t it about time that you started to have high expectations of yourself, your work, your business, your life, your family? Sure it is!

Higher expectations lead to better performance.

What do you think?

Greetings Good People,

The time has come that we stop playing these games as if we don’t know what it is going to take to raise our communities, society, and world to the next level. It is going to take good people like yourself building yourselves up into greatness, then doing the unthinkable, and reaching back to help others do the same.

I know this is a foreign concept in this world of instant gratification, greed, and personal fulfillment, but if the good people of the world are not going to be the change we need, then who will do it? The Wall Street Bankers? I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for that moment.

Therefore, we must take things into our own hands and make them happen for ourselves. The time has come for us to step up and make the difference. We have been passive long enough and this has gotten us nowhere, but to the great sea of disappointment.Now is our time.

First in the Mind, then in Reality!

Greetings Good People,

It’s been a while since I have last talked with you, but I am back and it feels good. The hiatus was because I have a lot going on in my life, but now I realize that I just have to make time because this is what I really want to do. That is just the fact, so I am embracing it.

Nevertheless, I will not be making any excuses and as a matter of fact that is what I want to talk to you about today; EXCUSES!

I am a tremendous sports fan, particularly football. And I don’t know if you have heard, but the Cowboy’s wide receiver Roy Williams made news complaining and crying that he is suppose to be the number one receiver in Dallas, but all the passes from Tony Romo to him are not thrown correctly. In fact, he expounded by saying the passes to the number two reciever, Miles Austin, were thrown perfectly.

Wow, this is unbelievable that he would make excuses like this instead of just catching the damn ball. But this excuse filled society is driving me crazy and we need to rid ourselves of it once and for all.

I know this is not a behavior that you share, but I just want to make sure by jumping in here and making a video about it to ensure that you don’t take to this kind of behavior.

Get some in your life!

Greetings Good People,

Life has a nasty tendency to through us constant curve balls. And this can wear even the strongest of us down from time to time. We just have to endure and fight to continue on our path to progress.

Now, I don’t know what you want out of life, but I do know that if you are going to quit everytime it gets a little difficult, then we are going to have some serious problems. That is just the facts.

So, to motivate you out of that funk, I want to share one of my favorite poems with you entitled, “See It Through” by Egar A Guest.

First in the Mind, then in Reality!
