I made good progress on making the equity deal that I was mentioning yesterday. It looks good like I might be doing this deal soon. If so, that that will also mean that I will be starting to do consistent multimedia content soon as well, which will be awesome.
I had a fun time out on a bike ride tonight. After getting into biking last year, I’ve found it to be such a cool experience, done from the right state of mind.
Later tonight, I started reading Abraham Maslow’s A Theory of Human Motivation paper. I look forward to finishing this document because I love the basic hierarchy of needs concept and am getting a lot of use out of it after really anchoring it recently. I recommend that everyone be aware of this hierarchy of needs perspective from Maslow. It is a real winner.
Thursday @ 6:40pm ET – Headed out for a bike ride and some thinking about human achievement.

I figured out something pretty cool today. It is an idea for what I’d like to do at this point to have some more consistent fun, gain a greater feeling of momentum, and build a project of mine. It would involve consistently producing a live video broadcast and building community. I will have to make a deal happen first, but am thinking that this may very well be a part of my consistent routine soon. If so, then you will finally get the chance to see more of me and engage through multimedia. This would most certainly spill back over into my personal website. I spent a good portion of my day thinking & planning for this new idea of mine. I hope it goes through and goes well! If so, I will be introducing it here soon.
Wednesday @ 11:11pm ET – Celebrating a big win of an idea I had today by relaxing and having some fun.

I had a pretty good day today. It was pretty positive and I was pretty active throughout it. I am getting in the flow of posting online again and enjoyed doing so today. I was able to write and publish a blog post on human nature here. I had a good workout and am working to be consistent with that now. I didn’t take the chance to get much business work done, but I was able to maintain positive emotional momentum which should help keep me on track throughout the rest of the week with business dev work.
Tuesday @ 2:25pm ET – Eating cereal, listening to inspiring music, and writing a blog post on human nature.
Tuesday @ 4:33pm ET – Working out, building my body, and feeling good!

Had an awesome start to the month of June today! Very energized & positive. Got errands done, working out, drinking lemonade in the summer time, bike rides, solid business progress, etc. I also started tracking and charting my progress in key areas of life right now. All good stuff today. I have had a lot of momentum lately and I’m trying to spiral it up to a new level and keep it up.
Monday @ 5:00pm ET – Just finished exercising, feeling pumped, and about to knockout some solid work!

Another long day of productivity today, which I am happy about! I was able to create an upgraded business model for a startup of mine. It will certainly take some time to implement, but it is the right move and should prove more profitable for us. I took some time to hangout and go shopping with a friend, which served as a good break in my work day. I had fun with her. I’m also feeling really excited about moving to New York City (not yet), just excited about that.

Can’t believe it is May of this year already! Pounded out a 2,000 word blog post today on Raw Financial Achievement, which I am proud of. I’m looking to get back on track with publishing content and I think the raw achievement mindset is helping. I was up for a long time today being productive. Had a good call on marketing strategy today regarding our startup company. Later on, after being up a really long time I walked directly into a board that blended in with the wall like a drunk and got a black eye. Yeah, I felt dumb too.

I was pretty diligent today which makes me feel good about the day. After running a few errands, I spent the bulk of my time on my personal website & brand as well as a new startup of mine. I was able to make solid progress on catching up on some content. I also did well in further developing some sophisticated purchase systems for the startup company. If I keep having days like this, then I will do well this year. I’m tired out and am going to go fall asleep to a good video now.
Monday @ 4:55pm ET – Writing like a maniac and catching up on some content of mine!

Although I’m coming up against some tough limits of diligence, I had a pretty good day of productivity with some awesome momentum. Inspired by the format of Twitter, I launched a new Notes section today on my personal website that allows me to consistently publish quick thoughts of mine. These Notes allow for more consistent connection & perspective with me and I’m looking forward to the payoffs for us.
Also, today, I was able to make a lot of progress on the purchasing systems for a startup I’m a partner in. I found a couple small snags, but it is progressing well overall. We should be ready to blow this business up pretty soon.

I woke up this afternoon and was feeling great. My positive & productive mindset continued from last night and I’m thinking that the downfall of my mindset this week could very well be over for now. The root cause is still there, but hopefully my increased short-term success with projects & ventures will fuel enough momentum to allow me to scale in stable progress indefinitely until I solve the root cause. All of this stuff is normal but usually goes undetected by most people within themselves. However, by seriously committing to massive life goals & building a deep understanding of psychology, I am hyperaware of many specifics that consistently hold myself & most all others back in achieving.
Today was my younger sister’s 21st birthday and our family went out to celebrate. We had a good time! Also, it happened to be my half-birthday too, since my sister & I were born exactly six months apart. Today, I turned 24.5 years old and will be turning 25 years old in six months on July 30th, 2009. A lot of times, I feel either much older or much younger, but mostly much older.
I again had a super solid conversation with my friend & business partner today. We established some powerful stuff that gives us a big boost for diligently executing our plan. We were finally able to make an official decision on our business name(s). Also, we were able to solidify the overall milestones of our current roadmap. This conversation added even more momentum to my mindset and I felt 100% back in topnotch shape. A big indicator of my poor mindset since this Tuesday was not eating good. However, I was able to effortlessly jump back on my super healthy nutrition today when I hit this powerful state of mind. I think I’m pretty solid now in my mindset for achievement.
Also, very late tonight, I was able to invent an outrageously profound idea/strategy. It is a combination of specific operating & marketing ideas that synergistically work together. The implementation of this big idea would likely mean pursuing the biggest private buyout ever in human history. And this buyout would kill the current record of $32BN & $13BN in debt by a major margin. The economics of my idea are sound and I firmly believe that my idea is the next big paradigm shift for this industry. It all comes down to implementation and adoption by customers. Since the overall customer experience could be drastically improved at the same price point, I feel customer adoption should workout well. I highly doubt that the industry has concrete plans to implement something like this paradigm shift any time soon. But I do think that they eventually will without me decades down the road, so I may have a real opportunity to bring the future of a major global industry to the present human experience. The only thing that is intimidating about this opportunity is the sheer size of the buyout deal and complexity of the integration. But it could very well predictably be one of the most profitable deals ever done. I could always try to just sell my idea, but when I have the general know how for going about taking over corporations, I can’t help but attempting to make thousands of times more. It sucks that we are in the middle of a major credit crunch but I may need to start talking to some solid private equity people soon. I feel like I’ve really got something of extraordinary value here.
Awesome day for me and it is great to be back at full strength!!!

My bad mindset from this Tuesday & Wednesday continued throughout the beginning of today for me and I didn’t really get anything done throughout the day. However, in the evening, I took the opportunity to go out to the mall and socialize. This gave me a bit of upward momentum. After that, I took the opportunity to break down, analyze, & partly resolve this recent downfall in my mindset for achievement. This gave me a bit more upward momentum. Later on, after midnight, I had a long conversation with a friend & business partner about our new company. This was a solid conversation where we resolved some very important things as it relates to our current business direction. After this conversation, I feel like I am back to my usual positive & pumped up state of mind, due to the notable jump in momentum this added. Too bad that I’m getting tired and about to go to bed, or else I could have taken advantage of my mindset and produced some good work. I’m glad that I was able to get back to my normal mindset tonight and am really hoping that it continues on naturally now, because I have a lot that I want to accomplish ASAP.
