Wow, I didn’t reallize it had been so long since I said anything. Where has the time gone? The holidays have come and gone, too quickly as usual. It was a fun time, and the best part was I only gained one pound, which quickly melted away in the new year.

The money I spent on my treadmill desk is the best money I ever spent, really. I’m on it pretty much every day, walking at a rate of 1.5 mph while answering emails, studying my traffic logs, looking at Stomper DVDs, and mapping out my business strategy. Before I know it, I’ve walked 4 or 5 miles, sometimes more. Thank you Dr. Levine!

It’s been almost 4 months since my last trip, which was Rich Schefren’s event in Ft. Lauderdale Florida. My daughter Mariah hates when I travel and one night during our goodnight tuck-hug-kiss ritual, she extracted a promise from me that I wouldn’t travel for the rest of the year. Of course, the next week I got the announcement of the Stomper event in Atlanta. I really wanted to go, but a promise is a promise, so I didn’t.

But it’s a new year, so when I got the word that the next Stomper Fest was going to be in Orlando, Feb. 15-18, I only hesitated a little before booking my flight. Even though I truly hate to travel, it is so rewarding that I force myself to do it. The people you meet, the relationships you form, and the contacts you make, makes it all so worth it.

What else have I been doing? Working on my audio course with Terry Dean. We did the recordings months ago, it’s the bonuses that are taking so much time. Terry wrote a monster coaching program and I heavily edited the transcripts, adding subtitles and stuff. This is something I really wanted to outsource and next time I will, no matter what. I just didn’t think it would turn out as well, and it probably wouldn’t have, but it would have been done a whole lot sooner. There’s a lesson in there, one that I learned from Rich Schefren — I forget the exact words, but the idea is just put something out there, you can improve upon it later.

What else? Most of my time has been spent working on my lead generation sites. That’s my bread-and-butter and I decided I needed more bread, so I shifted the local stuff to the side and haven’t emailed my list in months. I know, I know…

Applying the Stomper stuff to my lead generation sites has been loads of fun. I think I’m a “behind the scenes” type person, so after launching the local course (as yet unnamed) and the completing the promotion for Advanced Testimonial Strategies, I will no longer release any more products under my own name. I’m not interested in being a guru, never was, and will be quite content to make millions quietly in the background without anyone knowing my name.

Ok, so that’s it for now. Back to the salt mines.
