This is a quick post I wanted to share with you guys about a website I just recently came across. The site is called FreeTrafficSystem.com, and after doing a little research about what this system can actually do for it’s users I discovered I had a few questions about how using as a way to increase backlinks would effect my sites relationship with Google.
If I build too many backlinks will my site be punished by Google?
Following a bit of due diligence I located the answer to my question and the …

At some point we all set some sort of goal. Whether it’s a New Year’s resolution, to quit smoking, or to lose weight we all have expressed to ourselves that we’d like to accomplish something or another. The problem is that promising that you’ll actually do it is often times a lot easier said than done.

Last week I went to a business seminar with a couple of my business buddies and we heard from some of the most successful minds in the world all in one afternoon.
The above quote stuck out to me for various reasons. It created a clear cut distinction between your career and your purpose. Your purpose being what you were put on this planet to do and your career being what pays the bills.

Last night I was searching Google for information on Getting ‘Fast Traffic’ to a Blog for CircleOneConnect.com. While searching I had a revelation while reading an interview over at Problogger with Darren Rowse. Honestly, it was not what I was searching for, but at the same it was everything I needed to hear.
See, for years I’ve been developing sites and jumping from one strategy to the next looking for the magic bullet that sends thousands of fresh connections my way. I’ve tried everything.
None of it works.
But this isn’t neccessarily about …

“The most valuable thing you can make is a mistake – you can’t learn anything from being perfect.” – Adam Osborn

Are you one of the countless people who needs everything to be ‘Just Right’ before you can get started on something? I know I sure used to be. My problem wasn’t lack of motivation or ability. My biggest issue was paralysis by analysis.

I was recently reading Steve Pavlina’s: 10 Reasons You Should Never Get a Job and noticed that this guy knows what the hell he’s talking about. For this, I feel that it’s very important that I share his article with you just in case you might think like I used to. I too believed that security came with working that “9-5″ and hustling my ass off hoping for a minuscule raise. Sounds familiar right?

Do you remember the old saying “You get what you deserve”?I’d like to tell you why that ideology is complete bullshit and why “You have to DESERVE what you want” (Thanks Scot McKay).
To get what you “deserve” implies that you should get something before giving. That you are “owed” something in life, or worse – you can steal the results.
Life DOES NOT work that way and to think so only gets in your way.
In order to get anything in life that you want you MUST deserve it. To deserve it …

This morning my cousin tagged me in a FaceBook note. Although I’m already pretty familiar with the book “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill, I wasn’t made of aware of his code of ethics until today. With that I think it’s a great piece of work that I’d also like to share with you – my readers.

The villagers, seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them. The man bought thousands at $10 and, as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort.
He next announced that he would now buy monkeys at $20 each. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again. Soon the supply diminished even further and …
