Tips, Tutorials and my Eclectic Ramblings about Personal Development and Internet Marketing.
About
"The Story you are about to read..."
My ‘story’ is not one of those…’I was living down and out in a cardboard carton before moving into Hollywood, next door to so-and-so, with not one but two Lambo’s and an Aston’, type stories. But by a slightly lesser standard, I have ‘been there, done that, got the ‘T’ shirt and the cap’ and I did drive a little Alfa Romeo for a while! Does that qualify?
Who we are, I suggest, is shaped not just by our interests and experience but also by major events in one’s life. I’ll start with the latter.
Life sucks sometimes...
Short version. Some years back, as a direct result of doing a deal on trust, I lost everything. (I hear you – damn fool me!). And I mean everything - business, wife, car and house. Pretty much in that order. Looking back, I think I missed the car the most!
In the days, weeks, months that followed I went through the whole gamut of emotions, except feeling good about anything. You name it I experienced it; stress, anxiety, depression, fear, panic sometimes all at once. I think I reached the bottom one night when in the depth of sleep I had an all too vivid and realistic insight into the minds of those people who shoot their entire family and then themselves. I awoke at about 2.00 am in a cold, dripping sweat. Slowly it dawned on me that it was just a thought. And only a thought.
And with that came the realisation that if I could control my thoughts then …hmm. That realisation on that cold dark night sparked a desire in me to learn how to control my mind.
My search began. I read, I listened, I studied. The Silva Method, Reiki, Meditation, then list goes on. I even certified as an NLP Practitioner. I overcame the worst of my mental ‘traumas’ and then began to recover the material stuff. And I’m never going back there!
On a more upbeat note...
I spent many years in Advertising, Media and Marketing and coincidently, developed an interest in computers at the outset. There was just something about the technology that ticked my boxes. That was back when a 20MB HD the size and weight of a brick was state of the art! Since then the Internet has arrived. The rest, as the saying goes, is now history.
Putting all that together, for me to be doing something in Internet Marketing is a natural. It is not work, as I enjoy it. It is not just about making money, although that is a massive bonus! It is very largely the achievement of finding out and then helping others. Offline I have counselled and coached.
chrisbmusings.com fullfills my interest in Personal Development and Internet Marketing. It enables me to help you grow your business whilst I develop mine.
The Pros...
I aim to provide you with useful information, hints and tips. There will be free stuff anf there will be stuff with a price tag. You choose. When I do promote something, rest assured that I will know something about the product and / or the author. Along the way there will, hopefully, be some educational stuff, some entertaining stuff, the odd rant and some, well – let’s just say ‘stuff’!
No, I haven’t figured it all out and I won’t be the author of everything I suggest or recommend. That would be pushing it a tad, don’t you think! But I’m probably in a better position than you to sift through all the ‘latest and greatest’ and recognise the gems when they do come along. That alone will save you a lot of time and a shed load of money.
The Cons...
If you are looking for the ‘Laptop Life-style’ sitting on the beach with a laptop earning millions I’m sorry to tell you that it is a myth. Sand and Sea and Sun and a Laptop do not mix well together. Move on please.
If you are looking for the latest, greatest quick win, shortcut, growth hack to riches, I’m sorry, you will not find it here. Move on please.
If you are looking for a ‘Marketing Guru’, whose income is derived solely from teaching quick solutions – and there are hundreds of them – as opposed to actually teaching what he or she does, I’m sorry, I’m not one of them. Move on please.
Back to the Future...
What next? You can stay as you are or you take a small step towards your success. That is up to you. But if you think I can help in some small way then contact me and tell me something about yourself and how you think I might be able to help. You can use the Contact Page here. I answer all emails personally.
Final thought... Life just doesn't work without coffee! Go figure..!
Keep it Simple - Keep it Consistent
