The Pressing Point

I feel like time is moving so fast, almost too fast, but at the same time slow? Have you ever had that feeling? It doesn’t make sense really how time is working like this, but it’s really aggravating to be honest. My goal is to be moved to Los Angeles before 2011, and I am still on track for that, but it’s getting really close, really damn close.

It’s fucking bizarre what’s happening actually. Everyone close to me, knows I’m a fan of “The Secret”, so I constantly make sure I say what I want, and think as positive as possible. Because that’s just who I am, and what I do. Even with my massive depressive debt history, I still try to keep my shoulders up and constantly help people. So anyways, I had a set back with BEMODEL, horrible delivery time from my designer, and it’s been quite fucking irritating. I feel honestly, quite ripped off, but I am dealing with it as well as I can. His delivery time honestly lost me about 2 – 3 months, and time = big money in this case. So I am hoping to get BEMODEL going in the next few months now… See, I was raised by a single mother, and was never really taught how to handle situations properly. So naturally for quite a long time I let people walk all over me, and when it got to a certain point, I’d explode and handle the situation incorrectly. And I’m at that point again, but it’s business, and all you can really do is let them know, because if I blow up, what’s going to motivate them. Anyways, it’s almost done anyways, it just took forever. I dropped out of high school, and taught myself how to build businesses on my own, without a mentor either. I taught myself how to hire attorneys, handle paperwork, signing contracts, handling high income taxes, handling irs debts, setting up companies, building websites, branding companies, marketing companies, etc… The list goes on and on, I mean, I’ve been in the game since age 17, it’s crazy really. Not to say I’m a genius by any means, but fuck I know my business shit. I never applied for my GED, finish high school, or attended college. I know it might show in my writing, but hah, that’s why I hire editors, haha. So what I am really trying to get at, is that I am at the pressing point. Since BEMODEL was delayed, I came up with a way out of the FUCKING BLUE to pay back my investors within 2 – 3 months, and start making some incredibly disgusting income. It’s the Law Of Attraction always working for me, I swear… Something always pops up in the nick of time to save my ass.

If you don’t know my story. Read it, it’s the 3 featured articles on the front page. How I Made 2.5 Million, How I Lost It All, and The Story Of My Depression. Read those in order.

So anyways, I’m launching a product on September 14th, a big product for the dating niche. It’s going to teach uneducated men, or men in general who just want to flip the game around, on how to make women chase you. It’s about 150 pages, written by yours truly. It’s honestly an amazing read in my opinion, and some very very informative material. I put my fucking heart and soul into this book. If you’re interested in hearing about it, just subscribe to my blog to know when I release it exactly, and where. But here’s a screenshot of it, a little mini sneak peak, this might change too!

Let me say this… When I find something I can make connections in, something I know a lot about, something I know that has money in it, I always go for it. Always. It’s all about who you know, and fulfilling on your promise, that’s it. Make it happen. I am taking in user questions for the Women Chase Men blog, any men out there who have questions on women, shoot them my way, maybe they will make the new blog!

Current favorite track, and mood. Listen to this amazing song really quick:

I’ve been waiting for the wind to change,
I’ve been craving the summer rain,
I wonder when she’s gonna flood the plains.

Will I die before I get old?
Will I be known or unknown?
Can you tell me why all the birds have flown?

I don’t wanna leave a message if there’s nobody home.
I thought I saw you through the window, but I don’t know.

Stingin’ my eyes: It’s just a dust storm.
Caught outside: It’s just a dust storm.
Weatherman lied: It’s just a dust storm.

I’ve been waiting for the moon to rise.
She’s so luminous and wise.
When she flirts with me, I feel shy.

I don’t wanna leave a message if there’s nobody home.
I thought I saw you through the window, but I don’t know.

Stingin’ my eyes: It’s just a dust storm.
Caught outside: It’s just a dust storm.
Weatherman lied: It’s just a dust storm.

Lonely, desolate,
Uninhabited,
In the reaches of no one, nowhere.
Conjured your voice again,
Shifting sediments.

But I don’t know…

Stingin’ my eyes: It’s just a dust storm.
Caught outside: It’s just a dust storm.
Weatherman lied: It’s just a dust storm.

Miles and miles: It’s just a dust storm.
Filling the sky: It’s just a dust storm.
Let it pass by: It’s just a dust storm.
Ohh….

Signing Off,
Andrew Fashion @ The Pressing Point, Wish Me Luck. September 14th.

What’s Been Going On. BEMODEL And More.

Man oh man, things have been hectic, crazy, and slow all at the same time. So as some of you may know, I raised the $145,000 from three different investors back in January for BEMODEL.com. We started development and design in February, and it’s now almost the end of August, which marks almost 7 months of development and design. I estimated 6 months, so far, we are one month off track. Which is good news believe it or not. Considering all of the ups, downs, fixes, bugs, and changes, etc… I am going to be fixing a few more things on the site, such as bugs and a little re-design overhaul, we’re keeping the same design, just some big adjustments to it. I plan to start marketing BEMODEL in about a month. It’s been very stressful of course, getting this project going, it was a big overhaul with features such as dot-com hosting, with a fully implemented CMS to manage your dot-com website. A prints e-commerce section to handle transactions, so photographers can sell their work, and make money from it. Along with a whole new way of social networking and browsing casting calls. We noticed it was a bit complicated at first for the average user, so we are re-working a few things right now, sorry for the delay. That’s the scoop for BEMODEL so far. Wish me luck, and prepare for launch in about a month.

I was flown to Washington DC to give an hour presentation on my story in front of a few hundred people, and how I made money from CPM ads with high traffic websites, which is what BEMODEL is. If you don’t already know, I’ve netted/profitted roughly $2 million dollars from high traffic websites. I made a few pretty awesome connections from the event as well, and decided to give the affiliate marketing business a try. So I decided to work on affiliate product to launch in the dating niche, and made an awesome 3 joint venture connections for the product launch. I am going to be launch the product on September 14th. This should be a very big launch as well, got quite the JV connections on this launch, that is for sure. I am hoping to reach over 4 million people just for the day of launch.

So the plan is to begin marketing BEMODEL by the end of September, and launch my new product on Sep 14th. If everything goes well, everything should be pretty sweet! The numbers I am expecting to generate are pretty high, so let’s see how this affiliate marketing goes, and how BEMODEL goes with the launch. Wish me luck.

Back To Affiliate Marketing

Hey everyone, been awhile since I been actively blogging, it’s because I’ve been so busy managing my house, roommates, BEMODEL, and just working a lot. Trying to focus, been very tough, with the constant BEMODEL fixes we have to do. So since my DEV team is currently tied up for the next few weeks, and my designer has been very busy as well. I’ve had some downtime to work on other things in the mean time.

So, I decided to give Affiliate Marketing another try. I don’t know if anyone remembers or read a few years back on my blog that I lost a lot of money trying to get into PPC/CPA, using Google Adwords. So I am going to try a different method, and that is selling my own product my partners and I are creating. We are going to be using ClickBank to sell our digital product. Once the product is done, I will post a blog so everyone can check it out, it’s going to be based on Women & Men, and my opinions on certain things. The reason for the image of this post is because it is a “sexy” product really on women. I think I am going to be selling it for $47 with an upgrade to $77 to get all of the bonuses. It’s really an incredible eBook I am writing. Already almost to 100 pages, and packed with information.

I am trying to launch this product on ClickBank and have the landing page and everything ready by the first week of August. If anyone out there as a large e-mail list, please hit me up, maybe we can work something out. I am trying to do a really big Product Launch.

Hollywood In 6 Months!

So here I am, working my way back to the top, slowly but surely, and only 6 months away from reach an incredible goal. Millions. Yes, that’s right. I am about 6 months away from being that much closer to a millionaire again.

1) Park La Brea

This is where I want to live this time, a very beautiful community, and much more affordable than the Met Lofts where I was living before. Hardwood floors, high ceilings, amazing location, and just absolutely gorgeous.
Worst case: $2300/mo
Best case: $1800/mo

2) Fashion Furniture Rental

The Andre Furniture Collection with some upgrades from FashionFurniture.com. This company lets you rent amazing furniture for your home so you don’t have to go drop thousands on furniture. It may cost thousands when your 12 month lease is up. But $11k at the end of one year isn’t that bad considering I’ll be making money every single month, and it’ll be increasing. You could easily drop 11k on just a couch + TV for quality shit. Staging an entire house, saves you thousands of dollars up front. Why drop 20k on TV’s and furniture when you can just spend 400-900/mo for an entire sick furnished home. At least for now
Worst case: $900/mo
Best case: $450/mo

3) Black Lamborghini Gallardo

Yup… A black lambo, and don’t worry I won’t be buying cars in cash anymore. It’s called buying used cars and financing, or leasing, or something smarter than paying all cash. Don’t worry, I’m not buying a 2010 Lambo…
Worst case: 2000/mo (includes full coverage insurance)
Best case: 1500/mo (includes full coverage insurance)

Don’t forget the basic bills!

Cell: $150/mo
Health: $150/mo
Food/Ent: $1000/mo
Internet/TV: $150/mo
Electricity: $200/mo
2nd Mortgage: $650/mo (unless I sell my house within 6 months)
Misc/???: $1000/mo
TOTAL: $3300/mo

Now this is what I have been working my ass off to reach the top again, and it’s actually not much at all, believe it or not. So how do I reach this goal? Well considering I’ll be having a roommate to split absolutely everything with, besides my basic personal bills/needs. I want the fun, I want the toys, I want the LA life again.

What I Need For The Highlife

Total Worst Case (The Highlife): $5200/mo / 2 (roommate) = $2600/mo each
My bills: $3300/mo
Total Cost For Me: $5900/mo
Breathing Room + Comfortability: $5900/mo + $3000/mo = $8,900/mo

What Are You Thinking Andrew?

These are called goals, what I am doing right now is called “The Law Of Attraction,” this doesn’t mean I am going to go spend every single penny as soon as it comes in and buy these toys. Hell to the fucking no. This means, I am planning on making a ludacris amount of money to afford all of this stuff as soon as possible. This is my online vision board, for you guys to see, and to see how well I can hit my visions. I have a real vision board in my living room too, but I figured I’d share it with the world.

Now, I do have business/investment goals too. I actually have much more of those than toys. I’ll make that a blog too, heh. So how do I reach these visions, and toys? Well considering two of my partners all want the same thing I do, and to move to the same place, it’s going to be much easier. As we will all be making a damn good amount of money.

How Do I Make This Reality?

Well, first, I have to know I can do it, and have to start laying bricks in place one at a time. That part has been done, almost completely done actually. The foundation is just about in place, the entire foundation. After the foundation is in place, it’s being patient, which actually where I really am at now. Being patient, being still, and focusing.

But, what do I really need to accomplish in reality to make this happen. It’s actually not that hard. It gets a little more technical than this, but to break it down simply for you guys.

A) I need to sell my house OR rent it out

B) I must reach 100,000 users on BEMODEL by December (equivalent to 38,000 members per month)

C) I must get BEMODEL to at least $50,000/mo net profit by December

Am I confident I can do all three by December? Absa-fucking-lootley. No doubt in my mind. If I hit all three goals by Dec, am I going to go buy all those toys right away? No, you fucking idiot. It’s called a vision board. I’m a numbers guy, I like to put my goals into a realistic perspective. Something you should probably be doing yourself if you want to step your game up and become rich. Well there you have it people, my short-term goals. I suggest you get on it yourself, come up with a business/money plan first, then your vision board. Wish me luck, and I’ll try my hardest to keep everyone updated as often as possible!

In The Waiting Line

Wow, been a while since I’ve blogged. Kind of fell off the planet you could say? I have been constantly trying to keep myself up, working on BEMODEL, managing roommates, trying to sell my house, women, work, keep my house clean, and just keeping my head up. The big move is coming, November… Is when I leave this state, I can’t be here anymore, it’s to small for me.

I finally launched BEMODEL with my partner, we are in the debugging stage at the moment. It’s going great, the site is gorgeous, and we are about ready to market and blast, and take this shit to the moon. My plan is to move to Los Angeles by November, and have BEMODEL killing it within the next 90 days.

Let me see if I can sum up what has been going on since Washington DC, I am a little rusty with the blogging, so please bare with me.

1) For starters, I had to delay my book, because of BEMODEL, and I have a lot more to add to the book. So I am probably going to be delaying the release of my book to around the time I move, unfortunately… But it will be worth the wait.

2) BEMODEL took a long time to get it where it is, loads of stress, tons of work, and constant e-mailing/phone calls.

3) I feel so locked up, being stuck in this state. I am ready to leave and get back to where I was.

4) I now have 4 roommates. It’s ‘meh’ but whatever helps pay the bills right? I’d rather have one roommate like before.

5) I am trying to sell my house before I move to Los Angeles.

6) The new iPhone 4 is sex.

7) It’s been quite the struggle to get where I am right now. Very stressful, hard, and overwhelming. But I am almost there.

I’m crazy about “something” but I have to be super patient for it, and it’s tough.

I’m in the waiting line right now. Everything is in place, now it’s just patience. It’s so difficult, but seriously, I am minutes away from being a millionaire again, and I can fucking feel it. I know it seems like all I care about is money, but it’s more than that. It’s fixing myself, paying things off, buying a house for my mother, getting a better car, eating good food again, enjoying life, etc…

You know what I’ve realized, and it’s still hard for me to this day, because I am impulsive. Patience. And it fucking sucks, haha. Patience is bitter, but it’s fruit is sweet

So I am going to sit here, and when I say sit, I do mean patiently work and wait for what prospers. Wish me luck.

Why Be Realistic?

So lately, I have been browsing the web a lot from stories, to photos, to movies, to inspirational speakers, to random videos, to inspiring entrepreneurs, upcoming musicians, etc… The list goes on and on. I came across this Will Smith video on a young entrepreneur blog, and this video was just absolutely moving. Check it out real quick.

Will Smith Wisdom Quotes

“He who says he can and he who says he can’t are both usually right”

“Nothing is unrealistic. Being realistic is the most commonly traveled road to mediocrity. Why would you be realistic? What is the point of being realistic? The second I decide it is done, it is already done. It just seems like a ridiculous idea to embrace the idea that it’s not going to happen.”

“There is no shortcut to success. There is talent and there is skill. Talent we have naturally. Skill is only developed by hours and hours of beating on your craft.”

“While the other guy is sleeping, I am working. While the other guy is eating, I am working. No matter how talented you are, your talent is going to fail you if you are not skilled. You have to dedicate yourself to being better everyday.”

“Don’t think that where we are is where you are going to be, or where we are going to end up. Where you are almost does not matter.”

“You have to believe! The first step before anyone else is going to believe, it is you have to believe it. You can’t have a plan B because that distracts from plan A.”

“To be as successful as I want to be, it takes a desperate obsessive focus.”

“Represent possibilities. I believe that I can create whatever I want to create. Before anyone else can believe it, you have to believe it.”

“There’s a certain delusional quality that all successful people have to have. You have to believe that something different than what has happened can happen.”

I’ve never watched a video of someone that has had so many moving quotes in just a short time frame. Everything he says is dead on how I feel and how I have always felt, and it’s such a liberating feeling being reminded of this. I would just suggest watching this 10 minute video of Will Smith, and then proceed to watch his movie Pursuit of Happiness. Both are extremely moving, hopefully this lifted you in the way it lifted me.

I’ll never forget this quote: “He who says he can and he who says he can’t are both usually right”

Follow your dreams, I’m following mine. I went from being broke to 2.5 million dollars; back to broke again. I sat at the bottom, and became overly depressed and manic, but I fixed myself, and now I am back on my way to millions again. I am already $150k there.

Diggy Simmons? Damn!

Just came across Diggy Simmons. Little 14/15 year old kid, son of Rev Run, yeh, the show you probably have seen on MTV. Well he smokes JoJo. This kid has some god damned lyrical talent. His shit is pretty damn motivational actually. Anyone who is inspirational, has drive, and talks about their drive, just fucking drives me. Check out his blog, he talks about fashion, his music, and his motivation. I decided to follow him on Twitter too, heh.

You should probably check out his MixTape too, Download It Here

beModel Party & My First Rave

So here I am, April 2nd, about 30 – 45 days from launch of the new beModel.com, getting very close. The new beModel is absolute fire, it’s innovative, it’s clean, it’s sexy, it’s insane. beModel will now be a brand, not just a website, beModel screams fashion, beModel will be branded like crazy. All I can really say is, prepare yourselves, I can’t say too much.

The beModel Rebirth Party is May 14th @ Suite 200

I am currently sick, super sick, headache, achey, ears hurt, throat hurts, eyes hurt, stuffy and runny nose at the same time. I’ve been sick since Saturday night, almost a fucking week. So forgive me if this post sucks.

I was talking to a friend, and we are going to be throwing a big rave at “Red Rocks Amphitheatre” with two of the top DJ’s in the world. We are planning to throw this rave in August hopefully! I’m not a rave guy, but there is a lot of money in it. I guess I’ll just tell you my plan. I am going to throw a few of these raves, sell out 10,000 tickets each time, make a quick half a million each run, and open my club here in Denver, CO early next year. Already have a club name, and all the ideas written down! I’ll make sure to keep everyone posted on the status of this party, I am just going to be the investor for the party. I guess my goal is to kind of take over Global Dance Festival, rawr! Just a side project after beModel starts pulling in the cash.

That’s it for now, I’m to sick to keep writing, my head hurts.

Disconnection

I’m completely disconnecting from social media for a little while. Why? Well it seems a lot of my time is being wasted through social media, not to say a lot of the social media helps benefit me, but I think I need a break from social media. I don’t need to brand my personal image via social media tools at the moment, only my business needs social media at the moment, not myself personally. I feel like a lot of the time I spend on Facebook could be used elsewhere.

With only 44 days left till the beModel Rebirth V2, our 1 year anniversary, I have a lot of catching up to do. We are so close, with quite a bit left on our plate. So I am disconnected for 44 days, this is my Lent as I believe it is called in the Christian Religion, and I believe it’s 44 days for Catholics? I may be wrong, I am not a religion expert. This is my 44 days of disconnecting from Twitter / Facebook / MySpace / AIM / MSN / YouTube / Skype, unless absolutely necessary (business meetings) that I get on Skype to talk with clients and partners, but only Skype if needed, and a phone can’t be used for some crazy damn reason.

Wish me luck, and I have no doubt in my mind that I can’t do this. Forty-four days without social media is going to be a little tough though. Hopefully you see more progress on my blog, since I am disconnecting.

PS. Don’t worry “social media/networking,” I love you for all you have given us, a great way to communicate, but I simply just need to focus on more important things, and social media distracts!

Here We Go! beModel!

Ok, so I’ve attached a few of the photos from my iPhone from the DC trip, nothing to special yet, I will get more photos soon! I did a public speech in Washington DC for the Underground Online Seminar 6 event, and it was incredible. I was so nervous at first, Yanik introduced me as Andrew Fashion, gave a small summary of how much money I’ve made off the internet, and I went on to the stage. There I am standing in front of 200 fucking people, 22 years old, 80% of the crowd easily over the age of 30-35 years old. I have never given a speech before in my life, and here I am telling everyone how I did it, and how you can do it too. A few minutes into my speech, I really started to losen up which was good, and I got into my story, and it wasn’t that bad! After my 40 minute speech, and taking questions for 5 minutes, everyone clapped, and when I got off of the stage, a lot of people came up to me! They all said great speech, amazing speech, moving story, etc… It was an incredible feeling knowing that my story was able to move people! I’ve raised $150k for a new company I am building, beModel.com, and we’re planning to launch May 1st. My projections are very high, and I am very confident we will be making some solid money right off launch! I am predicting anywhere from 10k – 50k/mo just off launch, which means we will be paying our investors off very quickly! I hope you are all as excited as I am, because beModel is about to break the Alexa top 1000 websites, over 300 million pageviews per month, over 250k uniques per day, and potentially up to $1M per month!

If anyone here has experience with product launches, website launches, or marketing, send me a comment or e-mail!

New Goals & Washington DC So Far

So it’s March 12th, and I just finished my first public speech at the Underground Online Seminar Year 6, I think it was probably in front of about 150-200 people, not all 300 made it. Here is a photo before the event, the room is double the size of this photo, and filled up completely almost. It was awesome, I got to do my first public speech in front of a bunch of inspired people who want to learn about internet marketing. If I would of known the event a little better, I would of educated and taught something rather than just telling only my story. After my speech, a good amount of people came up to me and shook my hand and said great speech, it was a good feeling! I am going to be sticking around in Washington DC for the entire event until Sunday evening the 14th, then get my little ass back home as quick as I can to get some work done ASAP.

(It was a lot bigger than this!)

(It kept going around, much bigger than this!)

I have some goals I want to accomplish as soon as I get back home, just some goals I really need to finish! Here they are:

1) Clean up and restructure my office/basement/room downstairs so it’s one badass bachelor pad office setup. Then do a photoshoot of this new office setup.

2) Full time P90X / Diet, I got off track after all 4 of my damn trips, time to get back in the groove.

3) Do a few photoshoots every month. Rebuild my portfolio.

4) Affiliate marketing or create my own digital product to sale.

I want to get all these done while the rebirth of beModel.com is being developed and designed, give me something to do, and something to focus on. So that’s my current list of short term goals for the next 3 months! Wish me luck!

PS. The photo at the top of this post is a 5ft painting of Jamie and I!

Love,
Andrew Fashion

How I Got Where I Am Today

Before I Get To My Public Speech, A Quick Recap

I am living proof that you don’t need to be a genius to make it. I am proof that all it takes is a constant burning desire to succeed to get somewhere. See, I’ve had this problem for the last six months, and it’s hitting me harder than a fucking rock. I don’t know if it’s my fixation of fixing myself, or if it’s a disease? Ever since I ended things with my ex Stella (first true love), I have had absolutely no care in the world for women. It’s almost if women are just a bare necessity to get by lately, is that wrong? I can’t stand the fact of starting over right now, trying to find a woman, trying to fill that void is just to much work right now, it’s too god damned hard… I have this dirty obsession, of becoming so big, I want to make a change, I want to be a man of value, a man of character, I want to die wise. I sometimes look at myself from the outside, and ask myself is this an unnatural obsession? Everyone else talks about partying, women, college, traveling, whatever… I think to myself, I must blow this business up, to invest into the next, so then I can build my ultimate Real Estate empire.

Whenever I am hanging out with a girl, sex barely goes through my mind, barely… Talking to a girl frightens me lately, nothing of importance or relevance to our current situation even comes out of my mouth. The only thoughts running through my mind are one of these; a) Money, b) Business, c) Success, d) Value (my value), e) All of the above. It’s actually been very damaging to me even trying to build a relationship with a women, so this is my ending clause; I retire from trying to continue anything of any value with any woman until I am satisfied with my own success. This may seem weird or odd, but the simple fact remains is that I cannot seem to care or focus on women, because the only thoughts in my mind are my businesses.

Back to the opening statement of this blog– “I am living proof that you don’t need to be a genius to make it.” You want to know why I am living proof, is because for one, I absolutely know I am far from a genius, I’m smart, but not super smart. With my constant drive, and positive thoughts of how well things will be, and how well things will go, I keep seeing this weekly change, and I mean every week I see something newer and better happening. Okay, I will backtrack for a minute. December, I raised two new investors in the nick of fucking time. I landed a video interview on Mixergy.com w/ Andrew Warner via Saad Milak. Andrew Warner opened up the doors to more exposure for me, landed me two other interviews with some other online magazines such as JuniorBiz.com. Which then led me to this blog article on me, which led me to push my book even harder than I already was. Your Hidden Potential actually inspired me to write my book faster, and to get it published quicker due to the feedback I saw from his readers. I am now 4 months away from publishing my first book Young & Stupid: How I Made And Lost Millions, which will actually land in brick and mortar stores, and online at Amazon.com.

All of this came from my pinnacle blogs I wrote back in November because I wanted to let it all out, and oh boy did I let it all out, I told everyone how I made millions, how foolishly I spent it and lost it, and how depressed I became. And oh boy was I depressed, want to know one of the biggest challenges you go through mentally when being at the top and losing at all? Mental stability of my security. I was once a man who could do and control anything I wanted, I became so insecure with myself, like not having money meant not being a man. So insecure, I pushed the girl I was in love with away. Pathetic right, it’s all mental though, and I’ve learned that. My pinnacle articles I then followed with this blog post; Seeking An Investor From $75k to $300k attached with my bio and an executive summary.

My e-mail box and facebook inbox blew the fuck up. I had 7 people looking at my deal, and probably 3 more looking for investors for me. Oh sure, I thought a lot of it was talk, but I always go with the flow, I always stay positive, kept in touch, and followed up with phone calls. I repeated on the phone maybe 10 times what beModel is, how it’s going to make it’s money, just pitching my idea left and right to these people who found me from my blog! I closed within a few weeks with two local investors who in fact found me from my blog, you two know who you are, and don’t worry, you two are in great hands. Amazing hands at that, I am about to make you and myself uber rich. I raised $125k via my blog. Impressive to say the least. Am I genius, or am I just a man with a goal, an intensely strong will, and a cute blog? I’m an ordinary man with extraordinary visions and reach. The point is, I wanted it so bad (The Secret in motion once again), and it happened, once again.

All of these events, all of these moments, all of my continuous persistence, inevitably led to this upcoming moment. (Law Of Attraction explains all of this)

My First Public Speech

Yes, inevitably led to my first public speech. What’s the big deal? Besides being my first public speech in front of 300 people, being flown to Washington D.C. w/ paid hotel, flight, and event access for the entire 4 days, I’d like to say it’s another stepping stone for the entire spectrum of my success. The event is Yanik’s Underground Online Seminar, event access is just $3,000. Yup, that’s right, if you want to attend this event, you have to fork over $3,000. Of course it’s absolutely worth it, it’s networking with millionaires, genius’ of all kinds in the internet business, and trade secrets you couldn’t learn elsewhere, last year the owner of GoDaddy.com spoke at this event. I just so happened to land the pre-day speaking event on March 11th, where I have to give a presentation for 45 minutes on my story, my entrepreneurship, and my experience with the internet. It’s meant to be an inspirational, motivational type speech, and I am actually quite nervous because I have never done a public speech in front of 300 – 500 people, let alone more than a few people? I actually wouldn’t mind hearing some feedback or advice from you guys on public speaking tips, if anyone has any. Go ahead and check out the details of this event here: Yanik’s Underground Online Seminar, if you scroll to the bottom, you’ll see me as one of the pre-day speakers.

I do know I have an interesting story to tell considering I’ve always been an internet guy, I know my way around the net, and I have a wide variety of knowledge in the internet world, I’ve made millions, lost millions, raised capital, and have built various types of websites, and done every form of advertising their is. I just need to make sure I convey the message inspirationally to the crowd with life. Wish me luck.

My Entrepreneurship

I’ve always been a man of honesty, a man of honest ethics, and honest morals. I bend the rules when needed, but never step on anyone. Well I guess in business, you’re always stepping on someone in the end. Taking business from someone else, and becoming the giant. Entrepreneurship is a lifestyle, entrepreneurship defines my number one characteristic, if singing or painting is the characteristic that defines you, entrepreneurship is what defines me, everything else comes after. Succeeding makes me happy, success makes my heart glow, reaching gives me that intensely strong will to pursue. Building companies, thinking of new ideas, raising capital, is what I crave. I am about to launch something new and revolutionary, I am going to make my investors incredibly rich, including myself. I’ve never felt a year like this one, 2010 has really had an incredible impact on me, It’s almost March 1st (about 2 months into the new year), and so much has accomplished, and so many stepping stones of been surpassed beyond measure. Alignment is in my favor this year, and it’s proven itself time and time again just this year. I am telling everyone right now, if nothing is going your way, turn it around right now, stop using dirty excuses, we all have excuses, all of us. I am telling you right now, it’s the burning desire and action you take on your burning desire to succeed that will take you beyond incapable and unexplainable measures. You will be saying to yourself how did this happen, how did I, Me, Myself land this position or opportunity… It’s clear to me, I don’t even need to ask it anymore, I know how I landed it, I know why, it’s because I deserve it.

You know your incredibly talented friend(s) who should be famous and rich for their abilities? Ask yourself, how come they aren’t? They are constantly drowning(being negative) themselves, and don’t think they deserve it, and don’t act on any desire they may have.

It’s time to step it up people. Pull out a piece of paper, and write your todo list, prioritize it, and get going. You want out of that 9-5, believe you can do it, and then actually act on it. I have faith in you.

Love,

California Trip!

What a journey this was, a complete eye opener. Jamie Jones and myself flew to San Francisco to meet up with our designer / art director, who is taking on a huge project for us freelance, and the budget actually doubled, but is well worth it. San Francisco is amazing to say the least, not where I want to live, but definitely wouldn’t mind it at all, it’s so soothing, relaxing, peaceful, and at the same time alive. The place is gorgeous. The seafood is fucking incredible, gawddddd!!! Being there seriously made my heart feel so alive again, the environment, the people, the places, the seafood, the everything seriously sparked happiness inside of me. We met up with our designer that night and a buddy of mine Isa is in San Francisco, and joined the meeting as well. We met up around 10-11PM at Denny’s in downtown San Francisco, and it was such an amazing dinner. Absolutely eye opening, great conversation, and such life was in this quick pre-meetup, this wasn’t even our real meeting, and I could already feel the positive energy. The designer I selected to hire has got to be one of the most alive, smartest, driven people I have ever met in my life. You may have heard me say this stuff about people before, but I would hands down invest in this man myself with my last penny if I had to choose someone. I am 1000% confident in this guys abilities to bring beModel to another level for everyone. The ideas Jamie, myself, and Junior (our designer) were throwing around is just mind boggling. His intuitiveness is on another level, a different plateau than most could probably even fathom.

The following day Feb 6th, we had our meeting at Junior’s office, and his office is jaw dropping, he designed his office from scratch, his computer setup, his drive still amazes me every single day I continue to think about what we are getting into just makes me want to jump out of my chair with joy! Our budget went up, but for logical and purposely understandable reasons. We are bringing so much to the table with the new beModel for our customers, we are about to change the game this time, and for real this time. We now have the best art director in the world on our board of directors, along with an amazing web development team, along with the visions of Jamie and myself. I just happen to have been following this industry for almost four years now, so it’s safe to assume I know what needs to be done. After this amazing all day 12 hour meeting of brain storming, and boggling our minds, and number talk, Jamie and I enjoyed our last day in San Francisco. We were in San Fran from Feb 5th – 7th.

We then decided to take this time to relax and maybe do some traveling across California, why not right? Isa decided to come on our journey with us as well, since he lives in California anyways! Gave us time to think, brain storm, relax, and just all in all have a good time. We felt it was a good way to start the new year! We took the train immediately to Los Angeles, this was my first train ride ever, and it was FUCKING awesome. Trains have god damn outlets, why didn’t anyone tell me this before? I was tethering my iPhone to my MacBook Pro the entire 8 hour train ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles. I was geeking out, getting work done, emailing people, and webcamming with a sexy girl all at the same fucking time while on the train! I am going to try and make it a must that I take the train more often, it’s relaxing, convient, cheaper, and I can get work done on the go! It maybe be a little longer, but I don’t live by a strict schedule.

Jamie, Isa, and I arrived in LA, and immediately grabbed a cheap ass hotel in Hollywood, and walked the streets, and guess what happened, the night we arrived? We saw Ashton Kutcher walk across the street on the Valentines Day premier on Hollywood Blvd, no shit right? It was so full of life, people screaming and yelling “Ashton! Ashton! Ashton!” It was fucking incredible, he looked like such a god damn baller… There’s a little of my envy right there… Hah. To say the least, it was fucking awesome. Being in Hollywood makes me feel like something great is about to happen, literally, I feel like I am in the right place, I feel like I belong there, and I can’t fucking wait to get back. After that, we hit up The Grove mall, and god damn did I begin to feel nostalgic like crazy, this is the mall I went to every single day with Rose when I lived in downtown Los Angeles with her. I absolutely love The Grove, it is probably one of the most environmentally beautiful malls I have seen. It’s so god damn beautiful. We just looked around, and just inspired each other being in the place, talking what we are going to do, future plans, etc… A great feeling

After this, we took a bus to Anaheim, and then a taxi to Laguna Beach where we tried to find the cheapest hotel we could, luckily we found an affordable one… Yes in Laguna, we found a cheap one, haha, believe it or not! Laguna was incredible, because a buddy of mine (Kris) I have never met from Huntington Beach came and picked us up, and we went and played pool, grabbed some dinner, and had some drinks, it was pretty damn fun. Kris is the guy I met online 4 years ago who got me into the MySpace business, essentially getting me into the game of being uber rich thanks Kris, haha. He took Jamie, Isa, and I to the top of the world in Laguna Beach, and jesus hell was this amazing. So inspiring, so beautiful, the view was incredible, even though it was evening, just seeing the dark ocean only a few miles away, standing next to multi-multi-multi million dollar homes, including the famous Wave House which we also saw. Eye opening, jaw dropping, and breath taking… I can’t describe the emotions that have been flowing through me on this entire 6 day journey, it’s life changing for me, because this is where I belong Thanks Kris for showing us around!

After this, we took a train to San Diego, where I lived for about 6 months with my ex-girlfriend Rose. We saw Jamies friend, and picked her up from USD- University of San Diego. Holy shit, this college is amazing, and fucking huge, surprised I never went and looked at it before… We went to Fashion Valley Mall, which is right where I lived with her, definitely an overwhelming feeling, once again, insanely nostalgic. I saw Rubios where I ate every single fucking day with her, I saw Dlush where I would get a smoothie every single day, I even saw the MAC counter in Nordstroms she worked at… I miss San Diego so much… Reminds me of when things were so easy, so right, ugh, almost overwhelming thinking about how I have been starting over… I was with her for three god damn years, okay, enough reminiscing, haha. Anyways, I would much rather live in Hollywood or Beverly Hills anyways.

Overall, this trip has brought me even to a higher point, a deeper feeling of what needs to be done. I am going to speed up this process, I am going to make a shit load of money and get my ass back to where I belong, and make all of my investors uber-rich, including myself. Persevere, work hard, the money follows. I feel it all, I feel it coming. When I fix myself, and get back on my feet, and clear away my problems, true happiness will follow. Hopefully a beautiful ladys pops up along the way, I could use a pretty girl

Just a rant about the trip, I wrote this entire thing on the plane ride back in just a few minutes, not going to proofread either, just going to post right when I land, hope you enjoyed!

Feeling Walked On

Okay so everything is absolutely amazing, I mean, business is booming, money is going to be pouring in soon. Everything has been on track this year perfectly, I finally feel so alive, I finally feel like things are heading the right direction. We’ve cut deadlines, cut costs, and found an amazing team, an amazing designer, and so much potential with what my partners and I are about to do. I am looking at running a multi-million dollar company within 1-2 years probably. I literally flipped my life around after my horrible break up with my first and only love I ever had, it was the closest to love I’ve ever been, literally. No, not Rose. It was the asian girl Stella I was dating, and I broke up with her repeatedly, and didn’t realize how much I really did love her till I lost her. Funny how life plays games on you like that, my insecurities ultimately led me to my downfall. As I am going to be writing about in my new book that will be in stores June of this year, Young & Stupid: The Story of How I Made And Lost 2.5 Million Dollars, everything I went through, how I made my money, how I lost, the insane depression I experienced was surreal. I have never lost so much, and felt so dispensable in my life, I felt like everything was coming to an end, and there was no getting back up. No matter how positive I was, negativity always followed. I don’t want to tell to much, because I want to save all the dirty details for the book, it’s really going to be quite the story.

Well besides all that, I guess what I am trying to get at is, everything is perfect right now. Everything is absolutely 100% perfect, and I am positively sure this year will be amazing, and I will fix all of my problems. I am so confident I will pick myself back up, and fix everything I’ve done to myself and lost. It’s quite the dramatic and hardest thing I’ve ever experienced in my entire young life, I’ve never felt something so detrimental and so heavy, so heavy I would tear in my eyes when I was alone. Sometimes when writing, I would start to cry. If I was writing this just a year ago, I would probably start tearing. That’s how heavy the pressure felt on top of me. Wanting so much out of me, but nothing left to give, not enough to fix everything, the pain was so rough.

Here I am one year later, standing tall, happy (I think), and fixing everything, cutting the unnecessary crap (people) out, although I am still slightly in some of the same positions (people walking on me). I really am trying my hardest to cut the users out, the people who just walk all over you, the people who are so negative they somehow make you feel like total shit. I feel that way now actually, which was the intent of this post. I feel so walked on, so used, I feel like such a tool. You know a tool, like just being used whenever needed? Yes, a fucking tool. Specifically speaking about the opposite sex of me actually, there a few of the same gender that I feel a little walked on, but mostly directed towards the opposite.

I feel so used, but I feel so strongly about the people who are using me. What do I do?
