Two weeks ago I went to San Diego, California for Frank Kern’s Mass Control event. I must say this was one of the best event’s I’ve been to in a long time. It really wasn’t an “event” but a “party!”
On the last day, my mentor Bob Serling invited us to go on his sailboat and coast around the bay in San Diego. My good friend and wunderkid copywriter, Chris “Money Fangers” Haddad, Peter “Double P” Parks, my girlfriend Alex and her friend hopped on Bob’s boat.
Here is our journey…
Bob taught myself, Chris, and Peter a huge deal of money making strategies using licensing. I highly recommend his course Million Dollar Licensing if you’re interested in an easy, proven, and highly lucrative way to make a huge amount of money.
Peter made over $823,000 using Bob’s Strategies. Haddad has made gob’s of cash, and myself… I’ve made a nice, very nice, chunk of residual cash just doing ONE of Bob’s simple strategies.
This chunk of cash is taking myself and my girlfriend to Brazil for 35 days!
My buddy shane has a huge collection of surf videos and every once in a while I’ll pop in a DVD just to put myself in the awesome feeling of surfing big waves. Laird Hamilton is one of the big wave riders and really invented the sport.
The waves are so big, usually 40+ft that you have to have a jet ski pull you into the wave as it’s virtually impossible to paddle into the wave.
Here’s a killer video of Laird ripping up 50ft waves…
Today, I was driving my car with the windows, down listening to some 9.73 The Coast (it’s pure 80’s ALL the time), and a commercial popped up for a bar.
Now let me preface what I’m about to say with something I heard from Michael Masterson of EarlyToRise.com, when he was in the bar business. In an interview I heard him talk about the secrets to a successful bar.
It wasn’t to have the most beautiful women as the bartenders or waiters, but to have good looking male’s working there as well. It makes sense, the girls want to talk to the good looking bartender in hopes that they can take him home. He strings them along for weeks and weeks and brings in business.
Now, these girls coming back to the bar will attract other males. The males then buy the girls the drinks. This starts the circle of endless buying of drinks and cashflow for the bar. (we’ve all been there before).
So this brings me back to my story about this commercial…
So I’m listening to the radio and the ad is for a local bar called, Average Joe’s. WTF!? Average Joe’s? What dude in their right mind, or girl looking for a guy want to find an “average” person?
Maybe I’m missing something, but I wouldn’t want to goto Average Joe’s – EVER. The people in there then label themselves as, you guessed it – AVERAGE.
Girls, go here to find the average guy. Guys, go here to … uh, well, umm… find an average buddy because no girl would ever go here.
On Thursday Justin and I flew into LAX airport to goto Frank Kern’s Mass Control event here in San Diego. Although the event is in San Diego, I figured I’d get a plane ticket in L.A. so then we can make the “cool” drive over to Diego.
What a great idea!
You see, I live in Florida. Yes, flat, landscape deprived, Florida. When I use to drive to Florida State in Tallahassee (i can finally spell it right), it would take me 6 hours to drive there. I’d fill up in Delray and stop in Gainsville to some gas.
On the way up is …well … pretty boring. There’s not much to see. Occasionally you’ll see, a Turnpike station pop up with a Popeyes Chicken or the illustrious Cinnabon. Other than that you’re looking at a lot of tree and flat ground. The only “hilly” place when making the drive is in “Howie-In-The-Hills.” There’s one bump in the road. It’s about a 15 foot bump and probably the highest elevation in Florida.
Ok enough about Florida because California…
Is All It’s Cracked Up To Be!
I’m sitting here in Carlsbad (about 20 minutes north of San Diego) looking at some million dollar mansions in the hills. Here’s my view…

It’s beautiful!
When Justin and I were making the drive from L.A. to here, I can honestly say that the views and landscape were like crack for my eyes. The mountains, the homes, the ocean views (OMG!), the street performers, the fish tacos, the breaks… everything is amazing.
I’ve lived in Florida my entire life and thinking to myself… “I can move here. I have an internet business.”
I’m going to be posting some more photos, videos, and other cool stuff along the way, but for now I gotta jump in the shower and get ready for Kern’s Mass control my mind event ALL day today.
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?

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.
I got started back in 2002 with zero marketing skills or understanding about business. I accidently created an internet business form my college apartment in Tallahassee, FL. Built it up, sold it, but still had no knowledge of marketing. Went on a journey for discovering and learning "true" hardcore marketing principles. Over the years, built, developed, sold many internet businesses. Check out my bio for more info.
