It really blows not having internet in my apartment right now, I am stuck with my laptops mobile broadband connection which only allows me to do so much. We moved into our new apartment June 6th, and they can’t come install internet/tv/phone until June 17th, I can barely do anything productive on this POS laptop, haha.

Anyone making cash? If so, how? What have you guys been up too? Anyone in the MySpace industry still? Anyone profiting from PPC? Anyone actively doing Real Estate? Tell me what’s up with you guys!

Let me tell you, it isn’t easy working as much as I use to three years ago. Coding basically full time, trying to manage in me time, gf time, diet/cooking time, real estate time, reading time, and so forth. And let’s not forget, my mind is far from the full time job aspect as well. I am born a entrepreneur ;), hehe. But hey, we all do great things, and we all fall down, and have to grow again. When we grow again, we grow with so much more knowledge and experience then we had before. All my computers are fucked up, and I think I have come to a conclusion of why all my PC’s get fucked up. All the “downloaded” software I get from torrents, damn people placing trojans in the files. But dang, I need PS CS3, haha.

Anyways, I think I want to pick up a Macbook Pro 15″ off craigslist. What do you guys think of Macs? After the whole iPhone 2.0, mobileme, etc… Kind of makes me want a Mac. Might sell my Dell, and just get a Macbook Pro.

I have to format my laptop and PC now, so I’ll be posting more later.

EDIT: That didn’t take so long to format, only about 30 minutes. Dell Restore rocks!

EDIT: Okay so the PC took a bit longer, I had to install XP SP2, upgrade to Vista, re-install all the drivers, install all my software, and still not done with updates, nor my laptop. God I hate computers. Gasp… As I mumble “time to switch to a fucking mac…”

You know what I noticed… Why don’t important tasks, goals, or my daily to-do lists I create get accomplished? I always make these goals, and lists, yet they never seem to get finished. I just came across an interesting article on Wes Lahmer’s blog (mind you, I don’t usually rant like this — wait, yes I do). Anyways, it’s obvious, but it made really think, for just this split second, I actually wasn’t even planning on blogging. I have set so many goals in the last year, daily, weekly, and so on. If you read his article, it makes sense. I have lied to myself so much in the past two to three years, that my words, specifically speaking “me” has become weak. My words have no power anymore, and it’s so obvious now. For example: On a daily basis, no exaduration either. People I have done photoshoots of/for in the past or even recently, ask me to edit photos for them. ON A DAILY BASIS, I get this damn request. I tell every single one of them “Ok, I’ll get to it ASAP” or something like “Ok, np” or sometimes I’ll go as far as “I’ll have it to you by tomorrow or the next day.” And guess what, I never deliver on time, not even close to on time. Now, my to-do lists are a completely different story, I write to-do lists on the daily, and never get one single damn thing done on it, and now I know why. My words have been gradually been getting weaker of the years. So now I have to fix it, with small steps of accomplishments to further myself.

So what’s my idea to fix this? Like I said. Small steps towards small goals, which will lead to completing bigger goals.

Besides that, I got a freelance job from a buddy of mine in Chicago. I needed some extra cash since I have no income, doing full time css/html now, haha. From home though, pretty cool.

I am going to Colorado towards the end of June to start pursuing Real Estate as well, time to lock investing into place. I’ve read to many books to let the knowledge just sit, time to make some cash.

Oh, I also picked up The Abs Diet. Decided to take on a diet to increase my health, and get some Abs ;). Lost 5lbs in 5 days, no fucking joke. I am only trying to lose gut weight, cause I have to much gut… But overall, the book is great, and it feels great eating healthy. It’s not one of those stupid diets where you can barely eat, I can still eat practically anything I want, fishes, meats, fruits, veggies, breads, sugars, etc… It makes you eat more than 3 meals a day, so I feel full all the time. Perfect.

Step 1: Strengthen my words, I need more power behind them.
Step 2: Get in tip top shape.
Step 3: Being Real Estate Investing.
Step 4: Start Drivable.com

So, technically, it’s been awhile since I’ve posted. To be 100% accurate, I haven’t really posted much since Feb 26th. When I was posting my daily results on my PPC campaigns (which didn’t do so hot!). So let’s just jump right in people! Well it’s been long, that is for sure.

So basically.

I sold Perfection Apparel In March
I sold the company for a measly 25k unfortunately. But all it had was a website and clothing. So finally, one of my companies gone. Haha. I flew to Denver to get everything together, and just get it done with, the transaction was pretty smooth, although I got a little irritated with my attorney.

Guess what happened after that?

I sold MySpaceSupport.com on April 17th
I no longer own it. It feels good though to finally get away from the industry. I am sure great things could of been done and can be done to the site. MySpace Apps, better manager, more content, better SEO, etc… But it is just not for me, although I miss the small income it did give me.

So guess what that leaves me with? No cashflow/income.

What about photography you ask? Yes, it does bring me some cash — but not enough.

But guess what happened after that?

I shot Aubrey O’Day from Danity Kane on April 24th
My first real celeb shoot, I haven’t got the photos up… Soon though… I have a video of the shoot here, it did go pretty well though. I got an offer to shoot a lot more people after that actually and probably could of expanded my photography business, but I rejected all the offers, and cancelled all of my paid shoots. Why, you ask? (The paid shoots still wouldn’t of paid my bills, lol; I can’t charge that much yet).

Because, I made a firm decision one month before selling MSS, that I was going to become a Real Estate Investor/Entrepreneur.
Now your probably asking, where in the hell did that come from? Okay okay, let me try to explain where this sudden choice came from. Mind you, I am ADHD (I think?).

Why Real Estate?
First of all, let’s make sure you know the difference between a Real Estate Agent and an Investor. I will not become an “Agent” but I will become an “Investor.” I buy properties for cashflow and appreciation, not to make a commission. Back to the point, how did I make this decision. Have you read the classic “Rich Dad Poor Dad” book? Well you should, it really is a great book honestly. So I bought more, I am on my 5th rich dad book, went to his damn seminar, and a buddy of mine invited me to his “3 day seminar” out in Atlanta, so I went. It was great, although the sales pitch was a bit annoying (but hey, everyone needs to make their money). I thought, damn I’ve read 4 books, been to this 3 day seminar, I am sold! Real Estate makes sense for me in every single way. So I bought more books and even joined Rich Dad Coaching! I read Trumps books, Dolf De Roos books, Foreclosure books, and some others. I am on the fucking gravy train of gravy trains of book reading! Books are only good for so much, knowledge, they don’t actually give you the experience, so I am attending a 2 day event from JT Foxx which is kind of a hands on experience (laugh with me). But hey? What can I lose, he seems like the real deal. After all 15 of my books, my coaching class with Rich Dad, over 20 audio cd’s (LOL!), the lovely help of JT Foxx, and my strong ass determination to become wealthy, I will become wealthy very soon.

No but seriously, Real Estate Investing makes so much sense to building wealth, and getting away from the damn PC for now. I really could blog all day about the benefits of it, but we’ll keep that for later. Pick up some rich dad books if you haven’t read it, if you have, I recommend reading his book “Retire Young Retire Rich” book. One of his best books. I strongly suggest just reading all 5 in order though, haha.

So after my JT Foxx class on June 7th and 8th, I am going to go do it. Starting in Colorado though (bit cheaper out there) than lovely California. I’d love to give you the details of what my plans are, but I’ll save that for later.

If anyone has cash, or great credit, and is interested in doing a few deals together, let me know

So now what Andrew?
Your right, now what? What about my blog, and my photography, and my old internet passion! It’s still there, trust me. But times a wastin! I need to make some cash, and I need to create steady wealth, I can always come back. My hobbies are on pause for now.

Anything else in between you may of skipped?
Actually yes, there is! I am going to make them in dashes, because I don’t feel like typing a whole paragraph in an organized method. So here goes:

- My girlfriend and I get along absolutely beautifully, she supports everything I am going after. And I love her She also has her own blog.

- My absolute biggest goal in Real Estate is to build the “Fashion Suites” in Las Vegas, NV (I have a lot of sexy ideas for it, seriously… It’s going to be about a 5 billion dollar budget though, so I have to wait a bit… 5-7 years?)
