I almost forgot to write a blog post today! Yesterday, I finally posted a song cover onto my YouTube channel. Since I used someone else’s instrumental, I can’t monetize it on Spotify or iTunes. That’s okay though, because I don’t think that song will get a lot of views. I just kind of sang it for the fun of it. I took another song cover I did before though and submit it through Soundrop forread more

Something I’ve failed at multiple times is making a significant amount of passive income per month (at least $1000/month). It’s important to me still because I want to have enough to cover basic expenses without having to worry about trading in my time for money. I want to choose what I do each day rather than be forced to do something just to pay the bills. I know $1000/month isn’t a lot, but it’s aread more

Today, I was browsing on Facebook when this ad caught my eye. There was a $7 NLP online course for certification (by David Key). I checked it out, was convinced to try it, submitted my payment info, and waited to receive the email. Least to say, I wasn’t very impressed. The portal for the course seemed pretty outdated in how it was presented. I found the main page where it breaks down into lessons. Thereread more

Today, Steve Pavlina posted a video about how he’s doing a 30-day trial of time logging. He already started last week. Rather than tracking every minute (e.g. 10:00AM – 10:15AM – Answered emails, 10:15AM – 10:20AM – Bathroom break, etc.), he suggested a simplified version on his blog that tracks activity at every hour (e.g. 5 – woke up and went for a run, 6 – ate breakfast, 7 – took a shower, etc.).

One area that I want to keep stable is how the voice acts throughout the day. I definitely want it to stay quiet during the day when I’m active, when I take a shower, and when I go for a walk. I’d ideally like it to stay quiet all day and night long. But nowadays, it does talk sometimes in the evenings or right before I fall asleep. When it talks, I usually get stressedread more

There were times when I thought I was pretty smart, but nowadays, I feel pretty average. Once in a while, I feel stupid. I don’t think that’s a bad thing. I don’t feel down on myself just because I’m not as smart as other people. I just realize there’s a lot out there that I don’t know. When I think about starting a business, I feel like I only possess a limited amount of knowledge.read more

Yesterday, I wrote a post, but ended up setting it to private. I took a break from Success Triggers. This is my second day of not continuing Success Triggers. What’s holding me back is seeing the action I have to take in the next lesson. It’s a step from previous lessons. I thought about skipping it and coming back to it later. Maybe that’s what I’ll do tomorrow. What is my purpose in writing allread more

One book I thought about buying but never did was Becoming by Michelle Obama. I wondered if it would be overrated. But now that I’m thinking about it, there’s a lot I could learn from her. Even if there was just one worthwhile idea in the book, that would be worth it. I used to look at the reviews and debate over spending the $11. I should have just spent it. I think I justread more

One thing I’ve been thinking about is working with music producers or collabing with other artists in producing songs that I can post to streaming services. If I want to learn more about working with other producers/artists, I could research it for two weeks. My first step is to do a simple Google or YouTube search. I’ve looked into it before, but I was just worried about not knowing the best practices. Since original musicread more
