100,000 Mile Check-Up - Part 1 - The Breakdown

Subscribe in a reader Personal March 7th, 2008

Cars nowadays are designed to last longer, perform better, require less service but they still need some routine checks to maintain that performance. Similiarly, we as humans, get knocked out of alignment by the routine road hazards of every day life. Without realizing the effects, we speed all the time on some low octane fuel, tires not inflated properly, resting our foot on the brake pedal and falling asleep at the wheel. Like cars, we too need to do periodic maintenance so we don’t deteriate the one most important asset we have - ourselves.
I was a mechanic for three years; working on brakes, front end, alignments, and suspension. Before that I was a electrician/mechanic for the U2 aircraft in the USAF. I know this stuff, I am good at it… but what is my passion? What would I enjoy waking up for every morning? I love art and fixing things. How can I make money with that?

There is my problem. What can I do?

I am doing some soul searching. I do this daily and sometimes come up with some crazy wack thoughts that have no meaning. I want to help people. I want to give people a chance to make money online and not charge a butt load for the information. But I really just want to do what I want to do. So what is that? I will get back to you with that one… Actually started building my first website that I have been thinking about forever now but never had that push. Until I met Leo De Leon. I met him through Simon Leung at wimme, but met him through Johnnie Sui. (thanks to him, I am where I am today, no joke) Leo has been guiding and providing me with just about everything I would need to build this site. My dream if you will. That is my main focus right now. He has also brought me onboard his team to help with one of his many projects doing keyword research. I will be posting about that once that has started. I am hoping that the experience will be a huge turning point for me.

 Back to my whinning….

To be honest I really don’t have a passion for writing about the “make money online” niche when I actually, barely bring in about $100 a month… and it is very sporatic. I decided months ago, after I found out of my mom having breast cancer, that I was sick of going no where with this online thing. Life is short. I wanted to go back to doing what I love doing, which is art. Another hobbie of mine is working on cars and installing car audio. Wierd, I know, for a girl. Whatever though, I think I am good at it. I am sure that if I wanted to make something of myself in the IM world I would have by now, with all those seminars I went to this past year and all the people that I have met. Not that it was a bad thing, it was the best thing in the world that could have happened to me. I met the most helpful and generous people. Don’t get me wrong, I still am sticking around in this niche and going to work hard to try and make it. I guess I am being lazy and just waiting for someone to just throw it in my lap. Of course, I know, it does not work that way. You got to work hard to make this crap work. What I need to do is flush all the crap I learned previously and start from scratch. I won’t make excuses for being a loser with stuff. I am just going to start over and with a clean slate. I am going to give this blog a new look, matching my personality. This blog will be about my trials and tribulations online, in accordance with my sarcasim to spice it up! I am all about keepin’ it real and I am a no nonsense type; very blunt. I don’t care. This blog needs some attention and I need to not treat it like a chore. This whole blog was based off of all the things I learned while going to seminars and reading every ebook I can find. If you learned something from it, then cool. If not, then leave.
Ok I am done. It is almost time for me to get off work. My goal is to quit this place, replace my income building an internet business and be free.
