Being your own boss

Hello,

So you've entered the entrepreneur world

there's only 2 ways to go... do it half way or plunge head first all the way

which one will you pick?

There will be a lot of obstacles along the way... money problems,motivational issues, lack of things to do, boredom.... a lot

but this is the price you pay to succeed

and you will have to overcome those obstacles by yourself most of the time

after all you are your own boss

so here are some things that might help you out in your endeavour as an entrepreneur

1. Have a number (or set a goal) in mind.

2. Act professional even if no one is around to supervise you ( I still dress up and sit at my desk for 4 to 6 hours a day, with break schedules and a daily time record for myself)

3. Document your progress (are you making money or just wasting your time?)

4. Assess earnings over expenses and see if it's still balanced (you should be earning at least 10 to 20% of your total earnings per month (that's minimum)

5. Motivate thyself (each and everyday remind yourself that this is what you want and you have to succeed no matter what)

6. Take time for yourself (After all... this is the reason why you became an entrepreneur right?)

7. Enjoy every experience you get out of this

Hope this helps you guys out

Slipknot Bassist Found Dead

how sad to hear that another rock star was found dead in his hotel room

for now the reasons behind his death are still unknown

the bassist for slipknot, paul gray, was found dead may 24, 2010

slipknot was one of the bands i admired from the so called nu metal era

there was something about the band i could not pin when i first heard them so i instantly liked them although i hated all the other nu metal bands

( i did learn to appreciate some of the better ones as time progressed though)

going back to paul gray, he wasn't really what you'd call a superstar since he was hidden behind a mask, but the contribution he's made to slipknot is definitely something that can not be replaced

He had a weird way of playing bass in a numetal band. Unlike the rest of the horde he did not rely on 1 note bass thumps, he also employed bass runs, slapping etcetera etcetera and he also used weird tunings like ADGE or BEAD instead of the usual EADG

I hope this does not derail Slipknot in a major way. I hope even without Paul they'll continue so that his contribution to the metal world won't be wasted

sigh

R.I.P. Mr. Paul Gray

Finished the Lord of The Rings Trilogy again

The Lord of The Rings never gets old for me

It has excellent visuals and a storyline that is still quite relevant to this day.

It's been 9 years since this movie came out and yet it stills stands up well against newer movies today

it's got action, romance, stunning visuals and excellent music in it which is a terrific combination for a movie which appeals to the inner geek in everyone

The Lord Of the Rings, excellent!
