Transition Stage – Changes Are Coming – IT’s That Time Of The Year

January 12, 2015 by Larry Rivera 2 Comments

For years I’ve changed the look and feel of this site every now and again. I love each and every new theme I have put on here. I’ve used thesis themes, wordpress org themes, studiopress themes and probably a few other ones as well.

If there is one thing I know for certain it is that every time you change your layout the blog takes on a whole new feel. You tend to write differently approach your articles differently and so forth….

I felt that it was time to change again and I want to tell you why….

Good Blogging vs Bad Blogging What Are You Blogging About?

June 11, 2014 by Larry Rivera 46 Comments

What makes up good blogging?

That is the question I am asking today. Who decides what a good blog post is and what a bad blog post is? There was a time when people just blogged for the love of blogging sharing their point of view with the world.

Over time it seems blogging guru’s started dictating what it takes to write a good blog post. I learned a great deal in the Internet Network Marketing industry. The biggest lesson I learned is that it’s not what you know, it’s who you know.

That applies here in the blogosphere as well. Connect with the right person and your blog will instantly enjoy lots of traffic and comments out of the gate. On the flip side piss off the wrong person and you will spend the remainder of your cyber career in virtual Siberia. [Read more…] about Good Blogging vs Bad Blogging What Are You Blogging About?

It’s Happening Right Under Your Nose, People Are Turning Into Sheeple

February 10, 2014 by Larry Rivera 16 Comments

Mass Hysteria Is Happening The Sheeple Are Here

Yes you see them everywhere. They are your friends, family, neighbors, employers,politicians. You can see it at some concerts. You can see it in shopping centers and yes it runs rampant on the internet.

Sheeple mentality starts at a very young age. It starts as soon as our parents start telling us what to thing rather than to start thinking. It is re – enforced at school by teachers who for the most part are sheeples themselves.

This isn’t a new phenomenon, there have been sheeple among us for thousands of years.

Urban Definition: People unable to think for themselves. Followers. Lemmings. Those with no cognitive ablilities of their own.

Drowning In a Sea Of Confusion: Round And Round You Go

August 19, 2013 by Larry Rivera 8 Comments

Choose Wisely The People You Work With

I can’t stress this enough, it seems daily I am bombarded by someone who feels lost at sea. The process goes something like this: You decide that you are going to take a chance and get involved with an online business.

The first week is exciting, you are looking over the business you stay awake in bed unable to go to sleep because you keep envisioning what your life is going to be like when all the beautiful money starts rolling in. You visualize the expression on your neighbors when they see you pulling up in your new car.

You finally get to sleep and wake up exited what the day is going to bring. Suddenly, you are slapped awake when you realize you don’t know where to start. To make matters worse your sponsor is telling you to just go out and get 5 people.

If your doing an off line deal you where probably told write a list of 100 people you know. It cracks me up when I hear that one simply because not everyone is your target market even if you personally know them.

The Power Of Linguistic Framing In Your Business

July 26, 2013 by Larry Rivera 6 Comments

Economics, in a way, has grown so much in the recent years in spite of the financial crisis that the world is going through. On a bad note, because of this crisis, many have monopolized particular industries while some went on to lose so much with regards to their value. Sooner or later, one would go into bankruptcy. In that sense, it made merging companies all the more popular; to some, it became a must.

Merging with other companies could root from any kind of reason, and for one, considering the kind of economy today, is to stay afloat. As a result, they remain significant in the industry as one works with a powerhouse. At least in this manner, one is still able to get something out of his business. It is what one would call maximizing the use of an asset.

In this regard though, one may need to talk to different people across the globe. Most of the time, one would like to go straight to the main executives of a company in order to make a deal. This may entail learning a different language. This may show the need for linguistic framing. [Read more…] about The Power Of Linguistic Framing In Your Business

Quick Review Of The Canon Rebel T4i For Newbies

Canon Rebel T4i – A Review For The Rest Of Us

I am far from a photographer or videographer, however I do have a need to have some equipment. I started to realize that my Iphone and old HD Canon Vixia just wasn’t cutting it for my needs. The Iphone 5 takes awesome pictures, however I found myself is situations where the phone just didn’t work the way I wanted it to. For example, focusing close up is a real pain in the butt also the zoom feature isn’t that great. My old camcorder only recorded in 3. something megapixels. While it looks decent, I could tell when uploading it that I was loosing lots of quality.

After discussing it with a friend of mine I decided to go with the Canon Rebel T4i. Now I can kill two birds with 1 stone…

Canon Rebel T4i – Is It Good For The Clueless?

I will be the first to admit that I have no idea how to use this camera or any camera for that matter. It has lots of buttons and gizmos that do all sorts of things. The only thing I want to do is point and shoot. It took me about an hour to figure out how to take a picture, switch out lenses and shoot a video. Here is photo I took from my back yard.

Making Videos With The Canon Rebel T4i

I did shoot a video real fast just to see. I will mention that the auto focus is indeed tricky to work with. I was shooting the video in low light and at the time of the recording I didn’t realize that my fan was in the shot.

In my defense it was the first video I shot with the camera and I really don’t know how to use the equipment yet. I just pulled it out of the box and started pushing buttons 🙂 [Read more…] about Quick Review Of The Canon Rebel T4i For Newbies

Wouldn’t Life Be Easy If Everyone Followed The Golden Rule?

The Golden Rule Applied In Internet Network Marketing

In the world of scams, shams, spam and other insidious toxic vomit online what happened to the golden rule? I just got done having a conversation with my good friend Jamie Pelaez and we happened to have been talking about the golden rule.

Did you know every major religion on the planet has this rule? It’s actually common sense, even without me telling you what the rule is, you already know it. In fact if you don’t know the rule, why not?

At some point in your life you have had to of heard it before. I can only imagine what the world would be like if everyone practiced using this rule especially in business. People love getting your money.

If you ask me internet customer service is the worst. How many times have you bought a product and tried getting a hold of customer support only to get the run around or be on hold for 45 minutes?

At what point, did it become okay to not put the customers satisfaction first? [Read more…] about Wouldn’t Life Be Easy If Everyone Followed The Golden Rule?

One of my good friends couldn’t wrap his mind around the idea of blogging. He said things to me like:

Larry, blogging? Nobody wants to blog….

So he got involved with me in my business. Simply did what I asked him to do and he started getting people in his business that loves to blog.

When All Hell Breaks Loose Around You

Doesn’t It Seem Like The Harder You Try The Worse It Get’s

They say there is always a calm before the storm. Ever notice that no matter how hard you try something the more it seems things get in the way? I really believe that is your test. I believe we are always tested to see what we are made of.

That sentence made me think of this seen from Young Guns 🙂
