A Swift Kick in Reality’s Ass

Everyday BS, Project 11/05 Add comments

I read a lot of blogs. I love to read blogs - you know the ones that are actually personal journeys - where you get to somewhat understand the person writing the blog. Where they’re just trying to be themselves, share their exploits… maybe I’m a closet voyeur… Anyhoo… I really enjoy reading How to be Poor.
How to Be Poor is a blog by someone who is just blunt in the way he writes, and because of his no bullshit sort of slant - I love to read the blog. He has a good article on the Importance of Setting Financial Goals. I was reading and it really hit home,

I’ve noticed on quite a few blogs, people put up their financial goals, such as “have a house by the age of 25″, “have a steady stream of income of $900 a month”, etc. First of all, it’s NOT THAT EASY! Secondly, while those are great ideas and could be decent motivational kicks in the ass, I think it’s just words…

The bottom line … When you’re starting up, it’s not so easy to make money. Of course, if you already have a mil, you can live off the interest, thus the advantage of starting up ANY business. Otherwise, be ready to bust ass and don’t listen to a bunch of pussies who tell you otherwise.

… what exactly hit home for me? The fact that I write about my exploits in building some blogs/websites to make some extra money and I don’t really get into details. I thought doing something like that would bore the hell out of you reading it. But I mean - if I could find a way to actually make a success of something - or even fail at it - you’d learn something from it. What to do or NOT to do…. and I think I’ve failed you on it. I don’t let you know just how many hours I’ve spent working on the project - what kind of stories I could tell you about affiliate programs that I’ve tried or am trying currently. I just skim over things - and maybe I should change that a bit.

With Project 11/05 I think I will tell you everything I possibly can about it. How many hours I’ve put in - the affiliate programs I’m using - sources of information that I find that would help (or not?) in your affiliate marketing adventures.

I’m just basically going to put it all out there for you. I think I’ve failed you so far in my little jaunt with 11/05 - scared to give away too much - or bore you all in the process. But to hell with it. I’m going to tell you… for free! for nothing! I’m just going to to lay it all out there for you….
