this is a pretty cool and inspiring video I just came across. Makes you think about the simple mundane things in life that with a little “thinking” can be fun, exciting, and mind-blowing (in a way).

Enjoy

I found a way to get 2 hours a day of Starbucks Wifi for only $0.03 per day.

Step 1: Get a Starbucks Gift Card
Step 1: Put $5 bones on the card
Step 3: Sign up on the screen for your Starbucks account
Step 4: Spend $1 bone a month on your card.

That’s it Charlie. Now get workin’.

Two weeks ago, I came across an awesome Wordpress plugin extension that will search out available coupons for the site that you are visiting. Take a looksy at this video on how RetailMeNot.com firefox extension will save you hundreds of dollars and save you a TON of time.

I was just updating my credit report to see how much my scores have jumped from paying off my credit cards and Transunion stated this to me…

So I guess I need to get more debt to raise my credit score. Like the Dunkin’ Donuts commercial… “America Runs on Debt”

Chris

P.S. I was able to boost my credit score 135 points in 37 days by using some simple strategies that anyone can use to repair their credit. If you have some late pays, judgments, or other negative marks on your credit report, check out my credit repair system here.

It’s simple…

1. Grab scissors.
2. Cut in half.
3. Place on table and take photos of cut up credit cards.

Good news… I’m 2/3rd’s out of debt. Next month I will be 100% OUT OF DEBT!

I make money by launching cool stuff on the internet. We do big product launches. Check us out.

Here’s a time saver…

Batch your blog posts.

I was reading the Four Hour Work Week for the 4th time last weekend to gain some more nuggets of info and one tip Tim mentions is to batch your time for one event or task. For example, blog posts. Instead of writing 1 post every other day. Spend 3 or 4 hours and create 5 posts at one ime, set it to publish at a later date and call it day.

I recently started doing this with a little niche blog I setup and was able to crank out 15 blog posts in 3 hours. You can see it here: Kimbo Slice

I plan on doing this for at least 1-2 hours a week for this test site to see the results of some things I got cookin’ up.

I use Wordpress for all of my blog and some new sites. It’s so easy to manage and there’s thousands of templates.

Save time and batch your tasks.

I just came across this very cool Web 2.0 website called, Mango. It’s a complete online language learning platform that contains tons of lessons. Since my girlfriend and my mom speak fluent Portguese, I figured I’d give it a try. Turns out, there over 105 Brazilian Portugese lessons of this site. The best part – it’s 100% free!

Falo Portugese?

Yeee-haaaawww…!

It’s about 2:25am here in Florida and I can’t go to sleep. I’m going to Costa Rica for a nice little surf trip for a couple of days. Four of my friends and I are going to the beautiful city of Playa Hermosa to catch some nice clean waves and to clear our minds.

Traveling Is Cheap!

Yes it’s true. I got my ticket to San Jose for $158.42. That’s expensive for Costa Rica. I’ve seen round trip plane tickets when they have sales going for $102.42 (I know the exact amount) and as low as $76. No I’m not kidding!

So traveling doesn’t have to be expensive. The best part is I’m following what Tim Ferriss said on his blog on what to bring.

Here’s what I’m bringing:

• 3 t-shirts
• pair of shorts
• 2 pairs of board shorts
• Passport
• Straps for Boards on Car
• My Al Merrick Surfboard
• Towels
• 3 Books
  • Blue Ocean Strategy by W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne
  • From Credit Repair to Credit Millionaire by Donna Fox
  • The Ultimate Sales Machine by Chet Holmes (recommended by Todd Brown)
• Clean pad of paper
• A pen
• Bathroom stuff
• My
• Open Mind

I’ll post some pictures of the trip and how it all relates to marketing. Things lately are starting to boil up and soon to blow up.

Wish me luck in the 12 ft waves!

Here’s my story of work environment…

Back in 2002-2005 I had a business where we sold customer wheel and tire packages on ebay and over the internet. This was back when getting rims for your car were cool. It was the trend and I rode it all the way.

In fact, this was my first business where I had a so-called “office.” Well, not really an office, but more like a hellishly hott steambox. The first bay we got was about 80 sq ft. Yea, that didn’t last too long, only about 2 months and it was overflowing.

So the next move was to get a bigger space. This time it was around 500 sq ft and a nice step up. Well, being young and not really understanding much about warehouses I worked out of here doing everything there was in the business. From receiving containers full of tires, stacking rims, mounting wheels, filling the tires with air ,balancing the rims, packaging the wheels and tires in a box or wrapping them with stretch wrap so they wouldn’t get scratched on the FedEx truck, returning phone calls, placing orders, doing deals, posting on ebay, creating a website, …………….

I did it all…

The best part was this warehouse was on average 95 degrees EVERYDAY! Some days, actually most days, I dreaded going into the warehouse to do all of the above. I mean it was freaking HOTT!

My orders started to lack, I slowed down my postings on ebay, I was behind on some orders… things just were not fun in that warehouse. It’s because of my work environment. The sweat dripping down my face didn’t help much.

Well, it gets better…

About a year later, I move into a 3 bay warehouse, probably about a 1,500 sq ft place. One space was for my wheels, tires, boxes, mini-heatbox “office”, and just junk. And the other two were for my car – my project car. A 1992 Black Mustang coupe, no engine, just the shell. It was a beauty I had all the intention to fix this sucker up.

But I didn’t you know why?

My Work Environment Was Killing Me!

In fact, I got robbed the first day I moved into this bigger heatbox. $3,000 gone – like that.

The heat, the stolen goods, it all took a toll on me. My environment halted my growth.

I remember reading back in high school about a scientist who went into a factory and saw that product was down. So he installed some lamps and lights above the workers and productivity grew by 25%. It’s true…

So if you work alone, go for a walk, get some fresh air at least 3-4 times per day. Go outside, sunshine is what brings us energy. Start your day off with a swim, a run, a jog, a 100 push ups. Get your blood pumping…

BONUS: I did a call with two of my good friends Justin Zimmerman and Jon Jonas about the importance of work environment. I’m going to run down an edit and post it up in the next couple of days. You’ll like it…
