Spreading My Wings To Fly

 I just completed my first video as an application for a scholarship to the Digital Nomad Academy. Needless to say I think I am a better writer then video producer. By doing this I am really stepping out of my comfort zone to say the least.

It actually took me all day and night to get up the nerve to do this video!

Why am I telling you this? Because it shows that you can do anything that you put your heart to even if it scares the shit out of you.

By the way this is more then just an application for Digital Nomad Academy. This is me making my statement of intent, to make all my passions and dreams come true(see my Ultimate Pipe Dreams List).

Cody and everyone at DNA I hope you will do more then Just look at my video. I hope will read some more of my blog and get to Know me before you make your choice.

It may not be the best video you receive, but I hope it shows you I am dedicated to fulfilling the life of my dreams. I know I will be a value to DNA, You won't be disappointed by picking me.

I love to travel, I don't believe in settling for less when I can have all I want and more.

This is Marty remember shoot for the moon, if you miss

at least your be with the Starz!

Does Money Bring Happiness?

 I've never been one to think that money brings happiness, but at times I find myself chasing the money tail. Round and Round she goes where she stops nobody knows. For the life of me I can't figure out why I keep chasing it.  Is it the money Im chasing or is it something else.
 
 Let's face it they sell that dream really really well, If you have x loads of money you can have this ____. But will this really make you happy? Or will we just get on the hamster wheel again so we can get this ____. 

 Happiness where is it and how the heck do I find it? They tell me Im depressed and well getting out of bed can be really be hard at times. Why is that is it because Im really depressed? Don't worry Marty you know they have a pill for that makes you not feel a thing solves everything right. 

 I have a theory on why I get depressed, my depression stems from not doing the things I really love.
and when I dont do those things I love its fucking depressing man! See I dont want to support a society that well just doesn't match up to the same values and morals as mine.

 Sure I could probably go get a job flipping burgers but in the end I wont be happy. Sure I'll have a paycheck but then Ill feel tied down to a job that I just hate. And in the end Ill quit because the paycheck really didnt bring me what I seek.

  I see alot wrong with selling out your values just to get by. I see alot wrong with making others rich, while I on the other hand just get by. I see alot wrong with that system, and no not everyone can live like me. See I understand people have kids to feed, I on the other hand have noone but me.

  I have decided that I will do and be what makes me happy. I will go after MY dreams and passions because that is what will set me free. If you don't like that it is fine you don't have to, I wasn't put here on this earth to make you happy anyways. And besides if you really have that many issues with me then maybe you should just go meditate and take it up with the divine. See the problem is not that others may have issues with me. The real problem is when I have issues with me when all I want is to be happy and free.

The Biggest Problems I see in Internet Marketing

As some of you know I have recently Started Looking for other ways to make money online, since online poker has hit a wall. One of the most popular avenues to do that seems to be Internet Marketing. I have been doing a lot of research and meeting some really great and successful people, while researching other ways to make a living online.

I am not really new to the Internet Marketing scene, I just found a better way to make money online until now and that was Poker. Can you make money in Internet Marketing? Yes you can and some people are doing very very well.

Some of my friends from the past have done very well for themselves. But like anything it takes Time and a lot of work to actually be successful like in any area in life. If you are looking for the EZ button its not here either. But if I manage to find one I will let you know.

The Internet Marketing Arena has made a lot of changes since I have been gone. Some of them very good changes and some areas we seem to be stuck.

#1 We seem to be waking up to the fact that its not a numbers game If you are still playing by the numbers here you lose. In NETWORK marketing emphasis On network is a people game. In order to succeed You must build relationships with people and like anything else in life in order to become successful you must network with others that are successful you must network with others that are successful in your field.

This is where it becomes Really Awesome!

We are seeing it become very easy to Network connecting with others even if they are half-way around the world. It doesn't matter what you want to do in life You can connect with others that have the very same things as you. We have Social Networking now that allows you to connect with almost anybody at anytime.

But I also see an Issue with the way Network Marketers and Internet Marketers try to do this online.

Most are going about it the wrong way. Some just spam whatever they are selling in your face with no real interaction at all. Some are out there faking this interaction just to appear as if they are truly interacting, They really don't care about building relationships or Networking they really just want to sell you in the end.

If you are being Fake or just spamming stop! If you are find a link, product or business that you really like share! Why because it is a part of you and what YOU do. There is nothing wrong with sharing your business with others it is a part of you. And Please Stop building Fake relationships with others to eventually try to sell them in the end.

Social Networking should not be faked work on building real relationships based on trust and honesty. And if everything falls apart at the seams at least you will have true friends that will help you make it through the day. Peace till next time, I'm Out!
