Bad News

First of all I apologize for what I’m about to say.

I’ve decided to stop writing in this blog – for now. I’m going to keep the website up just so people can either re-read or keep finding it, but I won’t be posting very often (maybe once every few weeks if something happens that I want to share).

However you can still keep me on your RSS readers if you’d like.

Here are my reasons:

1) This is by far the least passive thing that I’m doing at the moment. If I wanted to get it to the point where I’d be making a few hundred dollars per month, I would need to write 3 times per week or so at least. That doesn’t include time trying to think of ideas for posts or doing research either.

2) What I didn’t think about when starting this blog is that I really never wanted to become “known”. I wanted this to be a passive source of income, but with blogging its either one or the other. You either make or don’t make money, and the only way you can make money is by posting – unlike a website. If I wrote out all my ideas and put a lot of time into this I’m sure I could have many more readers, but I don’t want to feel like it’s necessary for me to put the time in to post.

In the future when I’m already financially free, out of school and have my life more steady (not to mention more experience and wisdom) I’m sure I’ll start another blog on the same subject. Probably the same website actually.

So again, this is the last time I’ll be posting. I’ll probably post only when I hit certain targets of mine (financial freedom, the $1000/month mark, etc.) or if I get really bored.

If you really enjoyed the content that I’ve been providing you, I apologize again.

However, if you’d like to stay current on how I’m doing, new things I’m doing, or would like to still stay in contact with me regularly, I ask that you either go to my contact page on the right side of the page, or leave a comment. I’ll save your e-mail address and give you updates on what I’m reading, new ventures I’m doing, help you with any questions, etc.

Here is a contact me form right below, just so it’s easier for you.

Thanks for reading!

Why I Love Passive Income!

I got back from vacation about a half hour ago. After getting a quick bite to eat (it’s nice to have a home cooked meal!) and talking to my parents about the trip, I just came up to check how much money I’ve made.

I just figured out that I made roughly $135 – WHILE I WAS ON VACATION!

I didn’t touch a computer once for over a week, nor did I use any other type of technology to get Internet access. This happened all on 100% complete autopilot. That, my friends, is the power of passive income.

I actually did better this week than I did each of the first 3 weeks of the month – go figure.

Anyway, a little about my vacation.

#1 – I was a little perplexed at how people have coined the phrase “southern hospitality”. Maybe it was just a coincidence and for some reason the people in Myrtle Beach and the surrounding areas are an exception, but I met some very rude and disrespectful people while I was down there. It was mostly employees though, so maybe that had something to do with it. I still love the South :)

#2 – Although I was on vacation, I didn’t use that as an excuse to do absolutely nothing with my body for an entire week. Although I’ll admit I ate quite badly for how I usually eat, I did a few things to counteract that.

1 – Instead of walking up the 3 flights of steps of our condo, I would hop up them on 1 leg.

2 – Me and my girlfriend went for some long walks on the beach.

3 – A few times during the week I did a set of elevated plyometric push-ups and some V-ups.

All in all it was an amazing trip. I spent a bit more than I should have, but I still came back with $101 so it wasn’t too bad. I read some great books, spent some quality time with my girlfriend, and got a much needed break. Tomorrow it’s back to work.

Now excuse me while I go read my 250+ e-mails that are waiting for me. I think I’m going to need a mighty big cup of tea.

PS – For the past 2 weeks or so I’ve been meaning to put the book “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” on my wish list on amazon. When I got back from vacation I had an e-mail from Brian at Genius Types who’s giving it away for free. Maybe the law of attraction will have an intervening hand in this one.



How To Save Your Eyes

If you spend a decent amount of time on your computer, this one is for you. I found a great little program that makes a little pop-up the corner of the screen you choose and reminds you to look away from the screen for a few seconds.

I got this product as an e-mail but I’m sharing it with you for your benefit as well.

By the way, it’s 100% free and there’s absolutely no catch to it.

Here is a copy of the e-mail I received.

"Near-point activities like computer use and reading are
reported by the American Optometric Association as one of
the leading causes of vision loss.

Not only can computer use cause dry eyes, headaches, and
blurry vision, it can also cause permanent vision damage.

Luckily there are a few simple habits that you can perform
throughout your day that can prevent these problems and
further vision loss. 

But remembering to constantly perform these simple habits
(like the "10-10-10" rule) throughout your busy day is
extremely challenging. 

That's why I developed my brand new "Vision Defense
Software." It reminds you to perform these simple tasks
throughout your day while at your computer. 

The Vision Defense Software is fully customizable to the way
you work. It installs on your computer in just a couple
minutes and it's extremely simple to use. If you can open
your email, you can use this software.

Best of all, I'm giving it away to my subscribers completely
free - no strings attached.

I'm serious. There is no catch.

Because if just a fraction of the United States population
used this software there would be a reduction of vision
problems in mass proportions. 

And helping people improve and restore their vision
naturally is our #1 goal here at Rebuild Your Vision.

So download your free Vision Defense Software now and start
protecting your eyes against vision loss by going to:

http://www.rebuildyourvision.com/vision_defense_free_download.html "

I think this great little piece of software is great, and hopefully you will to. Vision is one of the most important things in your life so learn to keep it well.

Enjoy!
