It's night time.  Because of all the stuff that happened today, I was a little bit behind the power curve when it comes to the video. But I still have something to talk about, as usual and find out about it by listening to my podcast.

Hey, how's it going today? I'm coming to you from the Monster Lab, and I'm doing so for a specific reason. Because I've been playing with some really freaky ideas in my head, brought up by Scott Adams, the guy that created the Dilbert comic strip.  He's written several books and he talks about a concept or theory that.....

Hey there. It's a little windy down here here in Yuma Arizona. I just went by the Yuma proving grounds. That was pretty neat. There are 2 big guns out by the gate.  Anyway, beautiful day that I'm having. I'm going to listen to some audio books while doing my thing out here on the road. I was thinking about making these a little bit more about....

Good morning. How are you doing? I'm out of here in my little parking area, getting ready to take off. I was thinking this morning about myths that you hear when you're marketing.  When you're first starting out especially. They may be good things, some of them, but...

Hey, how's it going? You know what I love about doing videos? They're quick and easy. No topic? No problem. Turn on your camera and talk about whatever is going on in your life. Like this... Just a few minutes ago I figured out that I hadn't done my video for today. So here I am. I had a lot of different stuff going on. I had to redo a bunch of apps on my phone and everything is going crazy. I had security challenges. Don't even get me started on security challenges. On and on with these passwords and password programs and... eeeww... 2-step verification. Anyway, today I had nothing planned, cause I just got back off my trip and I'm doing these things on the phone. I've got to get ready to go tomorrow. We're going to Vegas to see Marshall Sylver's Turning Point seminar. We've been looking forward to this one for a while, and we're honestly very excited about going. They've got a really nice resort that we're going to stay at, and the flight's tomorrow night. The event lasts for three or four days. So while I'

Hey, what's up?  I was wondering today, does anybody do the speed limit anymore? Anywhere? Ever? For any reason?  I don't get how fast people drive. Don't get me wrong. My nickname is Rebel and I don't believe in a lot of laws. I think most of them are just a bunch of BS. I think there are so many of them now that it's mind boggling to know there are so many laws.  As a matter of fact... I wish I knew the exact name of this video, but a guy did a video. He was a lawyer and he did a video about why you should never talk to the police.  The first reason he gives is, number one, it can never ever help you, but it can always lead to hurting you. Then he says, if that's not enough for you... then he goes on for another hour and a half talking to retired judges and cops and lawyers and stuff like that.  So anyway, I'm not a big fan of most laws, but when it comes to speed laws, (traffic laws) there's a really rock solid reason to have them.  For instance, if you're going through a town

Hey, how's it going? I hope you're doing well today.  Had to come down here to the other end of the lot because I got a radio station playing in the background. I don't want to get any copyright things going on. You know what I'm saying?  Anyway, it's beautiful down here in Dayton, Texas. I'm having a good time while I'm waiting for them to unload my trailer. But I was thinking just a little while ago about credit cards because I've got Amazon Audible.  If you don't have an Audible account and you spend a lot of time driving, you probably want to get one because you can listen to all kinds of awesome books. And it's not really that expensive. Plus, you get a lot of good information.  But anyway, the reason I was thinking about it, they sent me a message that said the credit card didn't run this month. I know immediately what it is, because Rockit had her credit card compromised.  Now I know this was done in Arkansas. I went to Arkansas late last summer or something like that. And I'm

Hey again, good morning.  I just got done listening to the Tom Woods show. He's a libertarian talk show host and he's got a Phd in History.  It's very fun to listen to even if you don't agree with everything he says.  He's talking about tax rates, marginal tax rates, and how some people just elected to Congress want to raise the highest marginal rate on people who are making a bunch of money.  And it never works. It always causes things to happen that they wish didn't.  Whatever you believe about taxes isn't really the topic here. I just wanted to talk about how when I first started in business, I used to think that was a big deal.  Oh, I was so concerned with the amount of taxes I was going to pay and if I'm making X number of dollars, I'm going to have to put so much percentage of it into the tax thing.  I was very, very against any raise in any taxes for anybody.  I spent thousands of dollars structuring my first company and my second company. The first company is no

Greetings from the Joshua Tree National Scenic Byway in Arizona.  I want to show you these Joshua trees behind me real quick. They're pretty cool. These are some pretty old trees out here.  Anyway, this is where I stopped for the night and I'm having a challenge with my electronic logging device. I'm telling you I've had it eight ways from Sunday with machines that tell you what to do and then you know, you're bound by this.  The law says that the machine is what knows what's right and you don't always have a connection. Or a good enough one to where you can get things done.  Now I'm struggling with the person that is supposed to be dealing with this stuff, to help to do it and telling me I can do this. I've never been able to do it before and now I'm supposed to call a number that tells me how to do something that I already know I can't do, and I'm frustrated.  It's a drag because it seems like this year has gotten off to a rocky start. Not big things, just small things that happen t

All right.  Doing a mobile update today. This is, after all, the mobile command center.  I don't know how the audio is going to work out. I've got it recording through the Bluetooth.  I know a lot of people are a little freaky about doing a video while you're driving but I am not. I'm hands free.  See? Both hands on the wheel. No big deal. So I'm perfectly safe.  Lately I've been talking about getting things done, planning ahead, rolling with changes and so on.  Well, it makes it a lot easier to adapt to changes when you've got a plan and you've got everything set up.  The reason I bring this up is we got probably four to six inches of snow in the Reno-Sparks area last night. And I've been talking with Rockit for at least a good month and a half, (okay, three to five weeks) about getting a shovel. Cause I don't know how much it's going to snow.  We're living in a different area now and well, I didn't make sure that it got done and she didn't make sure that it got done.&

Hey, how's it going? I'm talking to you from the bunker.  I'm back off of my weird trip. I bought some stuff on Ebay the other day.  The guy was a pro seller (whatever that is). He sent me this stuff in just a few days. It was absolutely awesome.  Exactly as advertised, very quick shipping. Here's the thing, as a marketer I notice stuff.  There was nothing in the package except for what I ordered.  No thank you note, no invoice, no letter, nothing. Just here's the product, here you go.  Don't get me wrong.  I was very satisfied with what I got and I tried it and it's awesome. All good.  But the thing is as a marketer I'm wondering why didn't you put a note in there? Why not... maybe it's something a little extra. Why not... here's what you can do in the future to get more. Maybe a subscription or something. It doesn't matter.  The bottom line of it is, you did such a great job on fulfillment and yet, as a direct marketer, did not realize you could put an add on or

Good morning, even though it's almost afternoon. Going to have to make this a quick one today because the trip I'm on ended up being very weird. I had to change my appointment times and it changed my entire way of going out and coming back. So this is probably going to be the best time that I've got to talk to you. And because of that, what I'm going to talk about is adapting to what comes up. You never know what's going to happen.  No matter how much you plan, no plan ever survives contact with the enemy. You're always going to have to make adjustments and tweak things to make them the way you want them. Sometimes it never gets that way. Sometimes it just becomes a test like I talked about in the past and that's cool. You just have to be adaptable and roll with the punches.  Because if you don't, you're going to end up frustrated and angry all the time and that's not going to help you at all. Adapt to the changes and use what you're given at the time. For instance, right now I'm doing this even tho

Cliches bother me.  Cliches, things that people say and overused, overworked terms.  Words in marketing and in other things.  But hey, this is about marketing. So that's what we're going to talk about today.  I was reading this email about a coaching group and it was talking about how they could help you do all of these things and you can meet your goals and everything.  One of the things the writer said in the email was that these people are going to hold you accountable to the goals that you claim that you wanted to achieve this year.  I just think that's stupid. It's the most asinine thing.  "We're going to hold you accountable."  What exactly does that mean?  They gonna send you to the principal's office? Are they going to mock you in front of the entire group?  "You said you were going to do this, but you didn't do it." Take away your desserts?  I don't understand how exactly they're going to hold you accountable.  From my point of view, if you
