How do you motivate yourself to do the work and make your life better?You don't. Just stay where you are in life.It is fine to be dissatisfied with how you live.Most people live like this.It is fine.

If you cover money topics like investing, money management, etc,Google can ruin your email list and promotional campaigns.Big G LOVES flagging anything money-related.For example, "$$$" will get flagged.And you will end up in the promo tab, best case scenario.In the worst case scenario, welcome to spam, boys and girls.The spam folder is death (but not permanent; I can resurrect you).Promo folder, depending on the biz size, will cost you from a few hundred $$$ a day to $10,000+ a day!There are ways to fix that with the right editorial guidelines.It is better to make things right in the first place and in the promo tab.But if you are already there, it is possible to get you out, too.But it will be a lengthier process.Here is the example of my friends from The Money Guy Show9 out of 13 emails in my promo tab are theirs.And it is not because their stuff is bad.In fact, they are VERY good.But email management will definitely benefit from some love and attention.Hit me up if you need Email Jesus to get you the Redemption (and sales, too).

How to make me (and your clients) love you -Make sure your mobile site doesn't look like this.I am pretty sure Edgar Allan Poe had more paragraphs than this, too.

Make your communication simple and to the point.Tell your potential customers EXACTLY what they will get!I am surprised how many companies get it wrong,From big boys to small businesses."We strive to locate the utmost optimum talent and connect them with a potential long-term organization."Wut?Maybe "We find the best people for companies"?"Our new MicroBlaster 3000 has 3000 more watts of power compared to other microwaves!"So what?Tell me, I will warm my food faster, more thoroughly, and without frying the edges!This is the difference between helping people make a buying decision and not getting a sale!And judging how well companies "sell" their stuff......I will have A TON of work for a while.And you, as a business owner, will compete with those who don't know what they are doing.Care to get some help to drive them out of business? 😏

In light of latest events ---Cryptocurrency - Case For Freedom (Not A Boring One, I Promise!)$10k ETH! Gimme!-Yours TrulyI love to print money just like the next person. When I actually exit on time, not go 900% down from the top (I am looking at you, Growth Defi!)However, cryptocurrency and blockchain go far beyond just printing money.This is a new type of asset, and it is here to stay.For a very good reason.Freedom.But let me first address the elephant in the room/mainstream media/uneducated person's response."Your magic internet money is for drug trafficking and other criminal activity!"Yeah.Just like ANY currency or even commodity!Have you seen the Lord Of War, where the main character got paid with diamonds for weapons? This is a real-world transaction depicted in the movie. And similar transactions are common!Very common!Or Supreme Court case Smith v. United States (1993)Drugs were traded for firearms! This is as direct of the criminal exchange as it gets.No Bitcoin was used!I will tell you an even bigger secret!<Internet = Crypto>Bad people use the Internet to do bad stuff!Are you shredding your router and iPhone yet?Don't think so!Guess what? The Internet also empowers people who have no access to anything!Have you ever heard of someone from a small village in Pakistan who worked like a madman to become a copywriter, hustled online, and made a living where he could live well and help his family?I did.And I talked to this guy.There are tens of thousands of people like this.Empowered by technology and not limited by location, skin color, religion, language, accent, and other factors!Cryptocurrency does the same thing!<Crypto - New Solution For Antiquated Financial System>I, as a dinosaur, still remember times when PayPal was limited to only North America and Western Europe. Because other guys and girls - who cares about them? They don't need to send money, get paid, or conduct any commerce!Even now, PayPal is limited to many countries, and you will pay premium fees for international transactions.Bitcoin doesn't care where you are or who you are.Neither do Etherium, Solana, Polkadot, Mina, Funny Doggo Coin, and the rest.<Send Dem Money To Afrika>Imagine I hired a VA in Nigeria.Will I go to Western Union, fill out paperwork, stand in line, pay the premium, and wait a few days for her to get paid?Or go to my beloved Citi, show my passport, SSN, proof of whatever, get a digital rectal exam, get charged $50 to send a $1000, wait 15 days, and then get notified they need an additional check, on her and/or me?Hard pass!I will open up my trusted MetaMask, pay a whopping $3.70 (on a good day when you degens are not buying piles of JPEGs on OpenSea), and send her $1000 worth of Ethereum.And here, I just mentioned a simple case of sending and receiving money.I didn't discuss DeFi borrowing and lending, yield earning, insurance, and other uses.I rest my case.

You forced my hand with a motivational post.You know who you are...I didn't want to write that.......But here it is.So, regarding motivation, you are looking for so much...Motivation is a Western thing that slowly sips into everywhere else.Do you like your position in life?No? But is it comfortable enough not to make any drastic changes or take any massive action?And if you need motivation the answer is yes.Motivation is for when you want it....but not really.You live in the "wouldn't it be nice?" realm.Wouldn't it be nice to have financial freedom?Wouldn't it be nice to make more money?Wouldn't it be nice to move to a better place with more interesting people?Yeah, sure.What are you doing for it?Watching endless motivational videos?Then you don't really want it.Why do I say it with so much certainty?I was guilty of it myself. At least I have some parody of self-awareness right now to know where I f......ed myself up.Moral of the story?Haven't made one up...Thank you for attending my xTedx talk.I have no idea what pic you are looking for here, so here is a panda I saw at KL Zoo.
