      • Where Were you when Michael Jackson DIED?

        Posted in Next Internet Millionaire, Online Business, Product Reviews, by Andrea Yager

    • I cannot believe I am actually writing that Blog post title.

      Where was I when I heard the news?

      I was talking to a friend when suddenly twitter started steaming up about it and I was literally watching in real time, (and still am!) how within 20 seconds over 2000+ new tweets had been written about the subject, and over 5000 tweets in a minute. This is more people than I have ever met in my lifetime and this many people were tweeting about his welfare per MINUTE!!

      See – He is almost ALL the trending topics on Twitter – - >

      Michael Jackson Trending Topic on Twitter, every single ONE (almost)

      Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, one of the heroes of my youth, has left behind his legend.

      A future post may be written on the impact he had on MY life, now I just want to quickly write about the impact he should have on YOURS.

      Every now and then I speak cliche’s with a younger generation and they will look at me clueless. Kellie Pickler didn’t know that France was a Country, and many Americans cannot name a country that begins with the letter U (hint: USA), but EVERYONE knows who Michael Jackson is.

      However, do you know him like I do, or just as the tabloid, perhaps ‘uncomfortable in his own skin’ star he became almost as well known for as his music.

      Owning a piece of Michael Jackson music is not only important in order to know who this incredibly talented person was. It is important because the music is sublime. This is not a matter of personal taste, his music is the best selling in all history.

      So, make sure you can join in on the conversation and sing along a few lines.

      • Would you like $10,000 worth of Online Marketing Bonuses for FREE??

        Posted in Next Internet Millionaire, by Andrea Yager
      • View Comments

    • No I am NOT selling anything. Promise.
       
      and I cant tell you exactly what you need to do, since I dont know how ‘nice’ it is.. so you may have to sleuth a bit.. but here is the upshot!
       
      A recent Next Internet Millionaire finalist and by finalist I mean top 2 (ok, narrowing it down for you), has just launched a book about going from a desk job to being the next internet millionaire (ok.. now we got this part nailed). On the sales page for the book, you are offered thousands of dollars worth of bonuses. Basically every internet marketer and his mother is offering you something for free, as long as they get you to opt-in to their list. Definitely helps to sell the book, and satisfies everyone. Many of you would BUY the book JUST for those bonuses. I really wanted the affiliate video brander by Eric Holmlund. For all those videos I keep cranking out :) (all in good time)
       
      Ok.. moving on .. so on a certain FORUM where a handful of people talk about this reality show.. and more than a handful read without commenting :) , a forum poster congratulates or says something similar the final 2, and clearly states her (this narrows it down bigtime) particular preference to which of the 2 should be the victor, namely the one who wrote the aforementioned book. In this post, she provides a link to the finalists website, which HAPPENS to be the website you are directed to FOLLOWING the purchase of the book.
       
      Therefore, if you go to this website and are NOT sold on her Upsell – the offer you receive prior to getting your promised bonuses.. then you can just scroll to the bottom of the page and click where it says something like – no thanks, just take me to my bonuses! Then, VOILA – 10k of bonuses at your fingertips. LOL… its funny to think that its a big deal to save $27 to get these bonuses, but hey.. since I just ‘happened’ upon it, I thought I would share. But so I dont get flamed, just go ahead and buy the book! On the other hand.. why are they not also promoting this website as a standalone and not just an upsell? The offer on that page is by far more compelling than reading a book.
       
      I am really hoping the powers that be correct this problem to protect her. As I was writing this I was beginning to feel bad about it – so my loyal blog readers (mom) – what do you think?

      • The Next Internet Millionaire will be..

        Posted in Next Internet Millionaire, by Andrea Yager
      • View Comments

    • I have a few posts to squeeze in before my eyes shut, my head bobs, and the keyboard meets my face…
       
      In my typical fashion, I am a good week behind the latest episode. As of tomorrow at this time, my speculation will be yesterdays news.
       
      It was always Charles Trippy, wasnt it? He slid by the first few episodes by not ‘sucking’ (aka not volunteering to be a group leader), and at some point established himself as a likely candidate.
       
      Joel has worked very hard to talk Charles up to the viewers, to Charles, to himself.. creating Charles to be what Joel wants (NEEDS) him to be. Charles is really a fantastic choice. He is:
       

      • Young
      • Clearly talented in a Web 2.0 way
      • Not too eager
      • Geek inside a cool persona
      •  
        and most important:
         

      • Famous in his own right, thereby ensuring a much easier success for a JV, ultimately the onus that lies on JC’s head.

       
      So Joel reinvents himself, looks like a do gooder, and Trippy acheives what he was slated for anyway – becoming an internet success. In fact.. if I had to guess, and this is REALLY a long shot.. The JV is already in motion and set to launch TOMORROW – on the heels of winning – Check this out:
       
      ViralVideoFever
       
      Charles.. an unsolocited tip.. cuz I would want someone to tell me: I love you and all.. but man you MUST check yourself out in one of those mirrors women carry around to see the back of their head and hair. You look great up front, but once you turn to the side, the HAIR is Out of Control.
       
      P.S. – The only part that STINKS about this whole thing is that Charles was offered money to participate in the contest. As a YouTuber, his audition entry was intended to draw attention, encourage other entrees, etc..Of course, like most everything else – I just MAY be wrong about this statement, about the JV, about pretty much this whole post – its great being a wishy washy woman sometimes! … :)

      • Next Internet Millionaire – 2 episodes away from being complete!

        Posted in Copywriting, Next Internet Millionaire, by Andrea Yager
      • View Comments


    •  
      I am really going to miss this show! I know you are bored already from hearing about how I have not watched TV in years (dont really own one) and no movies in even longer.. It’s not like I am on some moral high ground or anything. I LOVE movies! I just dont have time and cant justify making the time for it. (ok so maybe morals has something to do with it). Sometimes I think about getting old and just watching 10 movies a day to catch up on all I have missed :) ..
       
      Therefore, you can imagine my pleasure in the luxury I allow myself to watch the NIM. I know my involvement now seems farther and farther out of reach, and I am beginning to question the validity of my NEED to watch as a result, but with 2 more episodes to go, and my son a fan, I am in it for the long haul!
       
      Comments on where we are holding, basically reviewing Next Internet Millionaire Episodes 9 and 10.
       
      We say good bye to Alisande Chan. Alisande was like the mascot on the forums – very active, and you could hear her easy going nature and sharp personality both in her videos and in her posts. I dont know, maybe it was the editing.. but I dont feel like I got to know her anymore now even as we watched her make it to the final 5! She does not seem like the quiet type, yet it wasnt until the episode where she was eliminated and she vocalized how Jaime should be less quiet, and be more out there, when I feel like I have a much better picture of the ‘quiet’ Jaime than I do of ‘out there’ Alisande! Cant wait for Alisande to come by and leave her comments.
       
      I LOVED the copy lessons of Ray Edwards. As I read somewhere else, it was the FIRST time I actually paused and wrote something down to refer to later. Oh and I love the Butler Bag.
       
      Episode 10 was a little too much extended drama at the beginning. Sorry Alisande, I think you are great and all.. but you were not ousted for 20% of the copy or 80% of it – it was just YOUR time! You were the most logical person to go, there was nothing you could do about it, and you went. Unlike the episode following when Jason Marshall was pitted against Thor Shrock.. I probably experienced one of very few minutes of real suspense since the series started!
       
      Thoughts on Thor – You CAN be a nice person, play strategically, white lie when it doesnt hurt people, and then show the courage to talk about it candidly no matter how you come out looking. Thats pretty courageous. People keep questioning his integrity, and I am not sure why? He came ready and actually a lot more equipped to play and it is no surprise that he has done so well for himself both on the show and in life. I have been pleasantly surprised with his performance – despite his heavy activity on the forum, I did not see him bringing this much personality, skills, and controversy (for lack of a better word) to the table.
       
      Thoughts on Jason – Up until now I keep questioning what the long term value will be for the players. Other than the ‘winner’ I feel I can confidently say that Jason WILL reap benefits from this experience in more ways than education and any other contestant. Due to the nature of his exit and his winning personality, he will most undoubtedly be approached for JV’s offers. In fact, someone even asked me to request his contact info. Much success to you!
       
      ok got to get back to my bite size posts..

      • Bite Size Post #2 – Next Internet Millionaire Episode Review

        Posted in Next Internet Millionaire, Online Business, by Andrea Yager
      • View Comments

    •   Simple recap – this is the second in an ongoing series for the next few days, where i unload all the content I owe my loyal readers into bite size blog posts, instead of pouring my heart and soul (read my whole day) into one long post that burns me out for a week (I can hear you muttering under your breath that my heart and soul doesnt amount to very good writing)
       
      I cant remember when I last reported on The Next Internet Millionaire .. and today they should be releasing episode 9 already. Here is a quickie:
       
      Eliminations are in full steam. We said good bye to Laura Martin and Nico Pisani. Nico gets ousted for predicting market trends and what his benefactors want – aka he was up against a Joel Comm favorite so he said his good byes a little too early. Or not. Left is Jason Marshall, Alisande, Jaime Luchuck, Thor Shrock, and Charles Trippy. (Names added purely for SEO purposes)
       
      Some of the business decisions these teams have made are a little baffling to me. I am going to chalk it up to foggy minds due to trying to outperform and strategize, while being a nice team player at the same time. Under all those hot lights and constant cameras on you, perhaps it removes the part of your brain responsible for great business acumen. Are you watching and saying why didnt I think to do THAT or say THIS? Maybe you will let me know when your NDA is over..
       
      I am not one of those hard to please people who look for the bad, just to create conflict, generate interest in this topic or get more readers. I have really enjoyed the show. I mean just because I was the TOP VOTED Female and the First Runner Up does not mean I have to Hold a Grudge and Drag everyone down :) ..
       
      Last question for you Reality Tv Show watchers – apprentice, big brother, etc.. Do reality shows work that each episode builds up to an elimination that makes sense or is not a surprise? I mean it is totally shocking just how natural Joel Comm seems in this role, but he could probably learn a thing or two from Alisande about putting on his poker face during eliminations. Rather, he doesnt seem to want to hide it at all who he favors.
       
      Lessons learned? Damn, I cant remember. I guess they are doing their job well with creating entertainment. My son (whose TV watching has been limited to downloading old episodes of Get Smart and the three stooges) looks forward to it every week! Although I bet he would like it even more if they had tripped and fell into the bowl of worms, or fell off the cliffs of Colorado, just to get up and dust themselves off!
       
      Can I just say that I LOVE the music score?

      • Tips and Tools to Run a More Efficient, Profitable Business. FREE!! (tx Brad and Russell!)

        Posted in Next Internet Millionaire, Online Business, Outsourcing, Things I learned Today, by Andrea Yager
      • View Comments

    •  
      My last post I wrote that Brad Fallon, of Stomping the Search Engines, had spoken on the Next Internet Millionaire Episode six, but I couldnt recall what he said.. yet I continued to go on and on about my plans for reaching my goals of online success. Hello! What Brad said is essentially THE MOST important piece of the puzzle for my new venture.
       
      I understood Brad to be a search engine guy, so was not expecting to hear the following ideas (some verbatim) from him..
       
      If you want to make a lot of money fast – you may be going after a really big hit without even getting in the game.. how do you get there faster? How can you make your business a success? Well by not doing stuff! The less YOU do, the more you will make. . money you can get back – time you can’t. If you are the only person getting things done, a lot less will get done. If you want to learn a business, it’s about leverage.
       
      One of the issues I had with my past J.O.B was the refusal to follow that. To spend more to make more. To be many places in the same time. Even though the company tries to adopt many Rich Schefren business principles and attitudes, if you try to do it all yourself.. it wont get done.
       
      Unless someone can locate an ebook or abridged version, I am on my way to purchase the 4 hour work week by Tim Ferriss, who outsources his life. I realize this is an elitist attitude, since it’s great advice for the people who buy his book, but we can only take advantage of this as long as there are others who dont :) .
       
      Lining up nicely with this is a new free report created by Russell Brunson, called the IM-Myth. Russell implemented
      offline marketing into his marketing mix and has tripled his business every year since!
       
      It was literally a 20 minute read, and VERY worthwhile. At first glance I was highly skeptical and not sure I would make the time for it.. why? Apparently, He and I had both purchased the same book by Vince James about how he earned a hundred million in a year. While I found the book overpriced, overwhelming and daunting, Russell was excited and contacted Mr James about putting it into action. Personally I felt that Mr James approach was for those with capital to lose and targeted a very small %age of the society of actual risk takers and doers. The IM-Myth, which I found to be a MUCH BETTER read, simplified it in a way that makes taking online to offline in such a simple, clear, precise way. Now, I too am excited! Russell provides you with examples, necessary resources, and even his staff to help you get it going! Check it out… for Free..
       
      My Toshiba literally just totally DIED on me. My warranty, naturally, ended a month ago. It seems to be a motherboard problem. I am getting 12 flashing lights on the power when I press the on button – nothing else.. sooo sad about this. Just as I was planning my get up and go.. starting Sunday, I now have to find a reliable repairman – no Toshiba authorized service center here.. Thank g-d for the kid’s PC!

      • A Summary – for Money Seekers, Money Makers, & NIM junkies

        Posted in Next Internet Millionaire, Outsourcing, Products / Services I bought - Honest Reviews, by Andrea Yager
      • View Comments

    •  
      I am a woman on a mission. Have not officially started yet, so just putting out feelers..
       
      Just Getting Started Earning an Online Income? Watch my progress:
       
      1) After much research with all glowing reports, I joined Wealthy Affiliate. At a very reasonable $29.95 per month, they are basically the place that Adwords/PPC affiliate arbitrage happen. In addition to web hosting, they offer keyword tools, hand holding courses to cover all your bases, resources to compliment where your skills may be lacking (landing pages, etc.), and analytic tools to know which keywords are the earners. How do they *Rock*? They will they personally inspect your campaigns, and they have a FORUM where you can literally WITNESS the process of selecting a niche to a successful campaign completion. A real support group.Turns out I may not be using PPC as much as I anticipated with this new venture, but since the cost is a drop in the bucket for what they offer.. I am sticking around until I know for sure. They are down as we speak – will add the link soon..
       
      2) The Make 20 thousand in 20 days.. Michael Green is a very competent marketer, and I understand the concept behind this. I have joined courses – from the public to the exclusive and each one loses me at the go write 1000 articles and report back next week phase.. ok thats an exaggeration, but I like to think I can make GREAT money without having to work THAT hard.. If I sound cliche’, well then I am! So making 20k in 20 days (or YOUR MONEY BACK!!) is too good to pass up, since it not only gives you the day by day plan, only expects a couple of part time hours from you, provides you with what is usually considered ‘the missing link’, (a product to put your name on), but also introduces you to a world you may not have been privvy to before.. and once you are in.. you should be able to repeat the process… again or your money back! Sounds like a no brainer to me.
       
      3) We interrupt this for a Next Internet Millionaire Episode Six Review – I liked the immunity challenge a lot! Looked like loads of fun in the Colorado heatwave.. but the funny thing is that where Charles Trippy clearly was not even trying and it made sense that he ended up with $4, Laura Martin.. and others.. seemed to be struggling to get any attention, yet managed to sell about the pops for at least $1 or more.. It was so disappointing that they gave us Nico’s total, but failed to really show us HOW he did it! Luckily for me, I have his email, and will ask him how he managed to sell 20 popsicles for over $40!! Then.. Brad Fallon, SEO Darling, China Manufacturer, Huge Wedding Favor site owner, fellow Atlantan, and dishy IM’er took the stage to talk about something – someone please remind me.. and then somehow, I am not certain how the next task was related to what they learned and not only cuz I cant remember, but since at the time I wondered if I missed something. They did my thing and went to a Garage Sale.. well I really do Estate Sales, but still.. I have become skilled at knowing what has value and what not… although I dont typically deal with Middle America homes filled with the most random things you could possibly imagine, rather I know my tupperware and little tikes! My son figured that the contestants were calling home begging their family to drop their trust fund in Coca Cola Memorabilia or Sports Figurines…but I was thinking NDA.
       
      So they uploaded their stuff to Ebay and headed for a night out on the town, thinking that we would rather watch them let down their guard and party then get eliminated. Well, since someone is going and that is inevitable, I say drink on your own time, and let the ax fall when I expect it to!
       
      4) I already made an investment a while ago to join Rich-Jerks.com and I am sticking with it. This is NOT to be conused with The RICH JERK. In fact, Noah Fleming who runs this membership, is a really super above board guy. I never had the time necessary to really dig into what they offer or how they stand out from the crowd, but in addition to hosting, they are an endless supply of products. If you know what a WSO is.. they buy whatever is requested, so if you are a sucker for every product you lay your eyes on PLUS some.. this is for you. They have purchased more PLR (private label rights), MRR (Master Resale Rights) ebooks, graphics, etc.. that I could ever have what to do with… and it’s all current. However, some of it WILL be put to good use in this new venture.
       
      5. I have money to spend.. but one thing I dont understand is why someone would unload tons of money for a unique website design. Find something you like, rip off the code, add a unique logo, change the colors, put your own content on it and voila! Here are some great resources I am using to get some of my websites up quickly. Often your needs will change – that is the time to spend the money. Now, when you want to make sure you are headed in the right direction, affordability is key. I am all for a first impression, but you check out these sites and tell me if they wont do the trick as far as that is concerned – better than some stuff I have outsourced! a. Templatebox
      and b. TemplateMonster

      • Oh.My.Word. The Next Internet Millionaire Just MAY be ME!

        Posted in Next Internet Millionaire, Online Business, Personal Baby Steps, by Andrea Yager
      • View Comments


    • Yes. It has been a few days since my last post. Yes I am way too busy to even give this post the ‘coverage’ it deserves.. Yes, if you are reading this in hopes to find out my review of The Next Internet Millionaire Episode 5, you will be rewarded..
       
      however.. what is the ONE theme that you have picked up from this BLOG??
       
      CORRECT!
       
      Who will be the ONE to discover ANDREA YAGER??
       
      Well my friends it is time to put the Pedal to the Medal and show what I am made of!
       
      The Summary.. oh we will get into more later:
       
      Lets say that I am a ‘start up’. I have an angel investor who is putting a lot of money (for me) in me and investing in ME with hopes that he will have made a wise choice (DUH!) and that he will earn back his investment + profits!
       
      Said otherwise, I was not hired. I am not an employee. I am now the CEO of a new corporation. I selected the name and will have access to other available funds to be able to build my new business venture. The business plan is negotiable, since he is eager, open, and planning on taking my vast IM skills to leverage his current business model etc.. and see what becomes of it.
       
      So dream come true? Yes!
       
      Imagine someone gave you the funds to fly like a bird and soar? Imagine if someone offered you an equity share ALSO for doing that? Imagine if this person considers the people who clean your house a business expense since they help you be more productive?
       
      So.. if you had to KNOCK SOMEONE’S SOCKS OFF.. and make a BOATLOAD of money in a short period of time, that would continue to build into a greater stream of money,
       
      What would YOU do?
       
      I will Outsource like crazy.. so let me know if you have any skills to add to the mix and products we can promote!
       
      For those tuning in.. if you scream your head off loud enough, someone will hear. This guy did not approach me through the channels I may have expected.. but once you become accustomed to thinking you are ‘all that’, it rubs off in ways you may not be able to predict or anticipate. TRUST ME on THIS ONE. Be Vocal. Grab a Backbone. And be discovered.
       
      So speaking of people who missed the boat with their chance with me .. The Next Internet Millionaire Episode 5 was definitely the BEST so far. Meaning I think they nailed it this time for several reasons:
       
      1) The immunity challenge allowed us to see some people shine. Not only did Nico’s book title shine, but do did his personality! There is a story of a famous Rabbi who went to the doctor with his wife since her foot was hurting, and when the doctor asked what is the matter, the Rabbi replied “Our foot hurts”. Nico Pisani personified that ‘I am not for myself if we am not for each other’, and definitely scored big points with all .. Go NICO :) You better be reading this
       
      2) Team Challenge – ok, admittedly I was watching at some unG-dly hour and fell asleep during part of the speaker, but I think he is cute (which matters a lot to me since I’m shallow) and we were FINALLY able to see an execution in it’s entirety instead of just getting snippets of what they were trying to present. Except for the logo.. where there really was no competition. As others have mentioned, I too did not know which way Mr Comm would go. Although I was not completely surprised. Some people think he has a thing for Laura, I personally think he has it for Mr. Trippy.
       
      3) Elimination – as much as I like some of the other contestants that were already knocked off.. they did NOT have their Game On, so each week was sort of them cleaning out the filter to get to the good stuff.. Now each contestant that is knocked off will probably have less and less of a good reason to be eliminated other than being in the wrong seat at the wrong time. I could tell Christine schaap was SHOCKED to be off the show, and sure they found some average reason to sacrifice her, but it was really a waste of time to talk about, since in reality there was no choice. Jaime Luchuck was secure, JC would have ‘no pun intended’ been crucified if he went after Nico, and how could he kick out Laura Martin when their team DID a good job, and she was just allowed back in the game.. and been on the line so many times.. so process of elimination. The logic will probably continue as such, with rising tensions, and more nitpicking backstabbing nonsense to make it make sense until the last is standing..
       
      I dont know if you can tell but the only TV (via DVD on laptop) I have watched in the last several years has been a few seasons of 24, and the only Reality TV I have seen is a few episodes.. not seasons.. episodes of one American Idol, CharacterRoadTrip (who wouldnt watch those adorable twins :) ) and when I was visiting the states I watched a few episodes of ‘would my mom let me date you’ in the middle of the night. Love trashy US TV!! oh I take that back.. I have been forced to sit through a few episodes of Pimp my Ride and I cry every time. It’s really a GOOD show!

      Well I may actually stop writing about the show, except it is giving me sooo much darn traffic! ;) So I skipped 3, but on to episode 4…
       
      So hey all you old forum friends.. will try not to insult you too terribly since I am a power player, and am here to network and yada yada….
       
      HOWEVER..
       
      HOWEVER..
       
      Have you ALL lost your minds???? :)
       
      Over 10 minutes of this episode was spent on eating worms. YUCK!!

       

      I have no problem with worm slugging if it’s part of what makes you different and yet not completely ‘out there’. Like I kinda believe Alisande that she is up for anything and would actually find herself in another situation where she would eat worms, with the stakes being MUCH less. Just for the experience. But here is the problem..
       
      Do you want to JV with someone who would RATHER eat worms than do a task? I hear the other side that they would rather accomplish than surely fail, and they do look like they go down pretty smoothly.. but I would certainly hope Joel isnt calling a non worm eater an inappropriate JV partner.
       
      Here is another thing and maybe its just me and my education.. but I kept remembering that afterschool special called ‘The Lottery” or similar, where someone picked a name out of a hat and they were selected to be stoned.. and as ludicrous as it was, everyone joined in.. like lambs to the slaughter… losing their sense of right or wrong. Not ONE person passed on the challenge. Actually a few people passed, but after seeing the rest follow suit, they too succumbed to the peer pressure. The one contestant who didnt eat the worms TRIED and got ‘brownie points’ for considering it. Would the individual who said an unequivocal ‘NO’ have received congratulations?
       
      Some of you may or may not know why, but there is no question 100% absolutely that I would NOT have eaten those worms. The question I have for myself is Would I have felt bad? A failure? Probably.. I can be pretty pathetic sometimes ;) ..
       
      Marlon Sanders is the Guru of the week. I am a pretty big promoter of his items – in fact – if you look to the right of this blog Marlon Sanders Top Selling Productsunder top picks, his items are 4 out of the 5 items listed there. You want to know how to build a website from scratch? Point and click web building.. etc.. check them out.
       
      The execution challenge was to create a product, and discuss the marketing plan. They were also using NINJA terms we were not privvy too like plank or flank .. again.. I know you were giving them a limited amount of time to perform a task, and I see you helping them from the sides.. but there is nothing more dull than water and phones…. As internet marketers, product creation is ESSENTIAL to SUCCESS, and it would have been really neat to actually witness something realistic. I know I have a bunch of product ideas… dont they all? Couldnt they have combined their brain talents and produced SOMETHING?

       
      The reason the execution challenges are not succeeding .. meaning one team is repeatedly LOSING.. the other team isnt really WINNING.. as opposed to the immunity tasks, is due to the combination of talents and inability to tap into them properly. They keep repeating the same problems in the judgement room yet people keep volunteering to be the leaders. Lesson #1 – being a leader is NIM suicide!
       
      If you think I am insulting the show, forgive me. I find the show fascinating from beginning to end, but I am too personally involved to have a real objective opinion.
       
      Lesson # 2 – Know thy limitations, be honest with your strengths, weaknesses, and confront them. So hear goes nothing:
       
      I know that I sell myself short, great things are right around the corner, I am a nice, honest, and ethical in business, and I would have kicked a$$ on that show. As it stands now, I would have been like the multi-talented Jason Marshall, yet with the IM skills to back it up! My weakness? I spend most of my time telling other people how to make money online instead of doing it for myself.. How to overcome it? Have patience, a plan, JV partners, and
      outsource, outsource, outsource.
       
      My new online friend Big Jason Henderson got kicked off the show, which wasnt entirely a surprise from the previous episodes. I think he was definitely misunderstood and came off as a villian and just NOT what I think he really is. Frankly to me he seemed pretty shy and passive on the show.. , which he seems anything BUT in real life.. makes you wonder about that cutting room floor.
       
      So Big Jason.. possibly all will be revealed, and possibly not, but how did you feel about how the other contestants spoke about you, and why were you so dissed? P.S – I really like what you said about your email offering a support desk link. You should have gotten points for that.
       
      Now you better leave me a comment here or else.
