As the Adword testing of my information product flies around the interwebs I wanted to offer you some more varied experiences at The LDP in the next coming weeks. I’ll be adding to my Monday posts randomly throughout the week with some different lifestyle design topics, features and insights. I hate to break continuity on our income stage so I’ll do my best to keep things related, but hey that’s what blog categories are for. Continue reading →
Our from the ground up freedom business is just about ready for a soft launch and some real profitability results. It seems it has taken longer here in the blog world than it has in real world hours. The holidays, a cold, reflection posts and some 9-5 job chaos has chopped up the 10-20 hours it has actually taken to get all this off the ground. This post is to recap the last few weeks of actionable items for reflecting, automating, and improving. It’a also to shed truth on the real uses of Google Adword keywords in comparison to SEO keywords for our mock process. Bonus! Free workflow for your VA or yourself on finding valuable data on keywords. Continue reading →
Hello! In celebration of The LDP’s growth and honestly, just to pass time as the research developments continue with both the Backup Informer and the core of our freedom business effort stage here at the project, IT Arsenal, I’m introducing The 4-Hour Workweek, Expanded and Updated, With Over 100 New Pages of Cutting-Edge Content Giveaway! Long title right?
It’s fairly simple, 3 ways to win and plenty of winners for a free no questions asked AND shipped copy of the book anywhere, global! The 4 Hour Work Week isn’t perfect but it’s insightful and sparked this project so it’s fitting that it’s the first giveaway. Author Tim Ferriss just updated his New York Times best seller many years running with 100 pages of fresh up to date content, grab it free! Details below!
UPDATE: 1st Winner! @bill_lyons. Thanks Bill!
UPDATE: 2nd Winner Cole Tucker, who had the most votes for his Life Design question on what he’d like to learn most! Check it out here. Congrats!
I’m afraid the LDP will be indisposed for this Mondays post at an all week event. I’m sorry! There’s still plenty going on under the hood. Most notably, freedom business updates and the New 4 Hour Work Week Giveaway. More to come as 2010 embarks. I’m psyched!
If you’re feeling now’s the time to make some changes in your life, shed bad habits and make real strides toward more time, freedom, and financial liberty take a look at a previous post entitled How to Reboot your Brain and Regain Life Control. It’s a stellar practice for seeing where you are, and gaining clarity for the next steps on your path. It might just what you need if you’re looking for that fresh start feeling in the new year.
FREE TREAT! If you’re a fellow wordpress blogger and are always looking for creative images for your posts, here’s a true gem. Photo Dropper is a plugin that searches up free to use, creative commons Flikr images from within the WP compose screen. Sick. http://www.photodropper.com/
Cheers!
Today’s post is a little more introspective as I’ve had a bit more time to reflect while traveling during some winter vacation. I figured now would be a good time to share more about who I am (and what I own!) as internet traffic dips and people are busy with their families and the holidays. The short and sweet of my thoughts here look at the measurable truth behind gaining more than just closet space by taking inventory of what you own and ditching the junk. Continue reading →
It’s time for some updates on the goings and comings here at The LDP. First I’d like to thank my readers for their comments, their encouragement and their engagement. I’m simply blown away by the impact made on myself, the community here and the life design community as a whole. Doors have opened, friends have been made, goals have been met and reforged. I owe you guys everything. Relationships are fuel! The holiday break here in the wintery US North Eastern region is just about to set in and that actually means they’ll be more changes around here than less. Take a peek at what’s to come in 2010.
This post is a little raw and more rapidly written than most here. Okay so now we have an idea we’ve preliminarily qualified as worth some effort. What now? I’ve taken the steps outlined in the last post and had a few conversations with other bloggers and people in the space. I’ve qualified the backup guide as something to dig more into, now to see where it leads…but first a confession. Continue reading →
Here is where I’m most excited. I hope both to learn from readers and fellow entrepreneurs and teach by experience going forward. I’m looking at what I’ve found are the vital first steps in creating income on your own terms. I’ve already chosen my first run at what is going to be my “muse” or “freedom business” or “easily managed online business.” I’ll probably use the term “freedom business” from now on as my girlfriend thinks I’m talking about a woman whenever I say muse. In reality it’s just a specific type of business model. Continue reading →
A major problem I see holding back my friends and fellow freelancers from progress is messy-ness. They’re lost in the frenzy of their new clients, new campaign, or shiny new twitter apps. I don’t want that, and neither do you. Since we’re finally hitting on income producing efforts I’ve decided to layout my custom system for managing the work “stream” that inevitably occurs when we decide to challenge the status quo and create our own income. I have a bevy of new things to start hacking at, and I’ll lay all those out in due time but I’ve realized launching sustainable business ideas takes more for-thought than in-thought (that should be a word).
