But I think I need to come here a bit more often and just… be able to share my experiences. So here’s a quick summary of what’s been going on.

Work

I’m entering a super-independence mode. Traffic and sales are picking back up. I’m seeing a lot more opportunities to loosen some associations I’ve been leaning on, not because the people I’ve been working with are bad (they’re not) but because I am finding that I don’t need them the way I’ve been letting myself believe.

In so many ways, despite the ups and downs of my health, I’ve been doing better on my own. Just afraid to make that leap. No longer!

Life

I’m single and enjoying it. I’d like to be with someone but there’s just no time at the moment. I’m in the mode of “making the time to make time”. In other words, I want to be able to have my business on track and able to auto-pilot at a profit, not just at a maintenance level before I proceed.

Health

I’ve had some serious ups and downs lately. As much as I can, I’m avoiding being too specific with anyone. At first it was because I didn’t want anyone to worry, nor did I want to speak the worst-case scenario into being.

But now it’s because I’m enjoying a darn near miraculous recovery, and to keep it that way, I use the time I would spend telling people about being sick, to make myself well. So if you ask me one-on-one and I’m vague, that’s why.

In other news, it may be time for me to start recording exactly what I’ve been up to in my manifestation routine, because it’s working like crazy. I haven’t decided if that would be a spin-off blog. Honestly I don’t think I write in THIS one enough for there too BE a spin-off.

At the moment, I have a pact with a friend to study the same material each day of the week, and to meditate for success. We don’t both always do it but when we do our daily income goes up about 500%! Consistently, and that’s in profits we generate together.

Apart, as long as I keep to my routine, I see streams of revenue from places I hadn’t even known about. Right now, I’m doing EFT, meditations for wealth, and reading my goals and affirmations upon awakening every day, and developing the habit of doing it in reverse order when I’m going to sleep. On the days when I’m not too much of a punk, I’m also doing daily energy circles.

They really work, I’m not sure why I am psychologically reversed about doing them. I want to, because it works, but I find some excuse not to, or forget. I’ll go do one now. See you again soon.

Not a one. 

Just about the only thing that I’ve decided is to break every possible rule I can regarding blogging.

I’m not going to have a particular topic.

At the moment I think it will mostly be about my life working online and things related to it.

But the more I think about it, this blog may just be a collection of my thoughts in general.

Which means the topic will be me.

Which is about as scattered and broad as it gets. Because let’s face it. I’m a bit of a wacko. I’m not even being sarcastic right now… 

Anyway, other rules it will break include punctuation, politeness, political correctness, getting too personal, taking things too personally, possible people-bashing, talking about problem clients and companies I hate in public, and general reputation-ruiners like that. 

Some days I’ll be all sunshine and positivity, probably most days.

But when I’m feeling dark I’m not going to hide that either.  

More rule-breaking:

I’m barely going to promote the site at first.

This site will only get the lightest search engine optimization.

I’ll be adding advertising willy-nilly.

I’m going to have a blog roll and I’m do-following all the people on it, as well as commenters.

I’m not going to make my archives unspiderable or worry about duplicate content.

I will change the theme at will.

I’ll be turning comment moderation on and off and some posts won’t even have comment capabilities.

In other words, when this blog gets popular, remember that this is probably the absolute worst example, outwardly, to follow about how to make a blog popular. Since it’s not a business to business blog, or really, a business blog at all, the model that makes it successful has absolutely nothing to do with what is on this site.

Website promotion was my business at the time I started this blog, and while I’ll still keep my clients, in the future, membership sites, blogs and other content sites will be my business going forward. For those of you who don’t know that when you get here, this is the reason I feel it is necessary to state what should be obvious – my personal blog is the wrong place to learn my secrets.

So what rule am I going to follow?

The only one I think that really counts.

I will be enter-fucking-taining.

To people who think like me, this blog is going to be captivating, engaging, and will do its best to serve you, the audience, even as I am being completely self-centered.

To people who don’t think like me, you’ll be twice as likely to come here to find out what, in your view, will be absolutely wrong, incorrect, useless craziness that you can’t wait to comment on and say how wrong I am.

Fair warning: Unless debate is healthy and respectful, I consider other people’s views a waste of my time. If I simply answer your criticism with an HL Mencken quote, you can’t say I didn’t warn you.

I now sit in the smallest room of my house with your letter of criticism before me. Soon it will be behind me.

paraphrased HL Mencken, who would be my baby daddy if he was alive today

Oh. And if you don’t like words like fuck, get the fuck out of here dood.
