flexx professional theme… installed.

Posted by: admin | Comments (0)

well, I got bored and decided to change the theme of my blog tonight. :)

I have to say, even though I’m not totally sold on the ‘look’ of my site right now, I’m LOVING the flexibility of this template. I only wasted an hour or so getting images and headers setup (not quite done yet, however).

If you have a wordpress blog and you’re looking for a nice template, definitely google the ‘flexx theme’.

I might not keep this theme active on my blog for all too long, but I guarantee i’m going to use my multi-site license to crank out a few more sites using this. You can change the # of columns, the header navigation, background colors, etc… Very nice little perks for a $79 theme.

Anywho, just wanted to share the experience and give a review. I’m pretty certain someone will find this after googling “flex review” and might find it helpful. :)

cheers!

feeling thankful in oz…

Posted by: admin | Comments (2)

so, here I am, sitting on my balcony, half-way round the world in Melbourne Australia…

it was 90 degrees today, so naturally, now that its 9PM its cooled to about 70 with a nice breeze. Seemed like the perfect time to grab a beer and write a blog post.

I think the most proper thing to do, would be to THANK all the cool people I’ve learned from over the past year…

first off, our good friends, and biz partners Kami and Nate… (our biz partners whom we traveled to OZ (australia) with) – they literally built our ‘mlm’ business for us, while we were skeptical and incapable in the early goings.

second, all my teammates, downlines, and sidelines in It Works Marketing… I take them for granted sometimes, but I am thankful, b/c if it wasnt for them, I wouldnt be here right now.

third, my friends Matt Koshko and Darren Olander… these guys don’t even know they helped me. their software and list building programs gave me the capital I needed to really get going with my business(es) and make the money I needed to retire (I like to say retire, even though I work my TAIL OFF online still) (but love it)

fourth, my family, my friends, and the internet top-dawgs… all these persons fueled my fire to KEEP learning. and learning is really what makes it all happen. if I would have quit even 1 year ago, I’d be broke, bored, and not half-way round the world, and retired at 28.

so, thanks OZ, thanks friends, thanks fam, and thanks It Works.

Here’s another random tech/organizational tip for ya that has saved me a ton of time lately.

www.instapaper.com – You can create an account for free.   (no commission or affiliate link)

It happens to me several times per week…  I’ll have a ton of tabs open in my web browser with great articles that I’d really love to read from different sites all over the web.  The problem is actually finding time to read them.  I used to try and bookmark them but inevitably, I would forget to come back and actually read them.  Plus, for me, sorting through bookmarks is never all that effective.

Instapaper installs a small shortcut in your web browser that says “Read Later”.  Each time you find an article that you’d love to read but don’t have time for at that moment, just click the Read Later button and all of the content of the webpage will be automatically copied over to your instapaper account and available to read whenever you’re ready.

You can also sync your instapaper account with Google Reader, or any RSS reader, and there’s also the free iphone app for catching up while you’re waiting in line someplace.

Hope you find this helpful!
