Double Video Post Extravaganza (and my last day at work!)!!!

October 7, 2011 in Friday Free Form, Getting Started with 29 Comments

That’s right! Today you get not one, but TWO SEPARATE VIDEO POSTS BY ME!!!

I know, you MUST be living right!

So here’s the deal, TODAY is my LAST day as an employee!

That’s right! After today I will be full time at A Better Way of Business!

I’m so excited I can barely stand it!

I’m so scared I frequently want to PUKE!

So check this out, a video I’ve recorded especially for this morning (I actually got up at 5AM to make sure I could record and post this the morning of!):

NOW! For the official announcement of the second best idea I’ve had (according to me) this year (A Better Way of Business being the first!):

I’m going to chronicle the first 90 days of this self employment journey in a daily video blog series I’ve titled:

90 Days to a SMASHING Success!

Check out this video:

That’s right. So each day, for the next 90 days, I’m going to record a video blog covering some of the things I intend on accomplishing that day. Whether I go over a list of 36 things I want to do, describe new tactics I’m planning on taking, or simply tell you I’m taking the day off to spend with my family (ALL entrepreneurs need time off from time to time), I’ll be making a video each and every day for the next 90 days.

Don’t worry, the videos for 90 Days to a SMASHING Success are going to be IN ADDITION TO the Monday through Friday blogs I’m currently doing. They’ll be placed on their own page (after the above video) on the site so if you want to see what’s going on you’ll have one place to go, if you don’t then feel free to not go to that page.

Buckle up folks! It’s going to be a FANTASTIC ride!

      I was about to give you crap for not watching my videos, but I infer from your comment above you have since watched them. (grinning ear to ear here) Thanks for jump on this, Alana!

      Thanks, Kent. Here’s hoping that first sentence will be said again in 90 days.

    Congratulations! You are no longer normal. In your honor, I have created a completely uncharacteristic blog post: Successful People Are Not Normal! http://fundamusic.com/?p=236

    • http://www.abetterwayofbusiness.com/ Ivan Bickett

      EXACTLY Curtis! B/c “normal” people tend to be average. WHO WANTS TO BE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE?!?! I sure don’t! I want to be THE BEST ME POSSIBLE. And the Lord knows that I’m … unusual!

      HA!

    Ivan, You are an inspiration buddy. You’ve got me so Pumped Up I can’t sit still.

    Way to go!!! Your enthusiasm is completely contagious…Thanks!

    • http://www.abetterwayofbusiness.com/ Ivan Bickett

      I’ve been told that before about my enthusiasm. Makes me smile. There’s something to that. I’ve also inspired a few people to step out and take actions towards their dreams. THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT!!!

    Way to go Ivan! We’ll all be watching your growth in your journey.

    Ivan, I been a ‘free agent’ for 15 years, and you’ve got the KEY (belief that you WILL succeed). You’ll tweak your plans as you go, but GO you will!

    • http://www.abetterwayofbusiness.com/ Ivan Bickett

      That is GREAT to hear, Sir! It’s like Henry Ford said, “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t. You’re right!”

      I can and I WILL!
