WOW!! It's been a while since I last blogged.

And the reason for that is because I just really haven't been feeling up to it. I've been trying to figure out what it is that I really want to do, and I simply couldn't come up with anything so I decided to get another job, that way I can earn some money and at least have something to start with when I decide what it is that I want to do. Also, I need to buy me some furniture because since I've been living out of boxes and luggage for the past 8 months; that needs to change.

I know I said I was gonna find out what it is that I really want to do, but at this time I need to think of the things I need and the fact that I want to help my mom with the expenses. I am lost but at the same time it feels good to know that I will continue to earn a living... I hope I can come up with something better to do - that I will really enjoy - soon.

I start work tomorrow and the good thing about it is that I will be getting paid every week as opposed to every quarter of the month. That's it.... I'm out for now.

Affiliate Marketing

I've always been curious about this concept, and many others as well, where one could be able to make money without having to waste 9 or 10 hours a day - maybe even more - trying to make a living; feeling a slave, "helping" others make more money than what you earn on a monthly basis.

It's been a dream of mine not having to go to work since I learned that at a certain age, we all have to start thinking about getting a job. It's just mind-numbing and stressful, I've been there already and I don't like it. I don't want to spend my life away working for somebody else. I wish I could find a way to make money working for myself and not having a boss telling me what to do all the time. To be able to choose when and how many hours a day I want to spend working.

A couple of weeks ago, I thought to myself "well, maybe I should start looking for ways to make this happen" and so I did, and still am. Just 2 days ago, I found out that thousands of people are actually making their income out of affiliate programs over the internet. What I've learned so far is that Affiliate Marketing is a revenue sharing partnership between a web merchant and one or more affiliates; a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate's marketing efforts. That to me sounds incredible, but I'm not really sure how to get started. It seems easy from the outside, but I'm actually finding it a bit difficult coming up with ideas on how to promote any type of product.

So I keep on searching, learning about marketing and promoting products. All of a sudden, I come across this website Maverick Money Makers in which they promise to teach you all the steps and techniques to instantly start making money online. They will teach you how to promote products, the best affiliate partners that you can find, tips on how to get started if you wish to become an affiliate; they even have some videos up showing you how much money they make on a daily basis. It sounds pretty convincing to me so I'm going to give it a try and see what happens. You know what they say, if you don't risk a little then you'll never win big, or so I've heard, but what's a little investment on the future that I want for myself. The only way I will find out for sure is by trying it. If it doesn't work out, when then we can always start over and try something else.

I quit my job

It happened on Monday. I woke up and just realized I would not take another day feeling the way I was feeling; stressed, upset depressed... so I decided to quit. The next day I almost regretted it but my dad made me see that there was no problem at all. My parents back me up 100%. Now I have to look for another job :(...

Maybe the reason I was feeling bad yesterday is because the supervisor told me that I was the best at what I was doing and that I was on the top list to become senior supervisor. All that sounded pretty cool and all but what is the point if I didn't really liked what I was doing, let alone becoming sort of a leader to others. So I decided not to waste my time or theirs. What's the point of doing something you don't really like just for money? Time will tell me if my decision was the right one... I have to keep going now, there is no turning back and to tell you the truth, I feel free again :D

Monday was a nightmare!!!

So, this is a follow up to my last blog. Monday I went to work, I took calls and it was horrible. I felt like I wanted to quit cuz it was too much. I even cried at night. It was a mixed feeling, not only I wanted to quit, but I felt bad because quitting is not something I like to do. Anyways, next day, even though I felt horrible and more nervous than the day before, I made it through. I made less mistakes, and I was able to deal with it with more ease. Now I have today and tomorrow off because I will be working on weekends. I guess it's all about repetition, getting use to it, and I'll do my best to keep going, ,not matter how bad a day can be, I need to keep going.

That's it for today, hope I can keep this blog habit going if only once or twice a week.
Take care.

I'd like to share a little something with you...

I got this job in a call center over a month ago. Training just ended yesterday, so we begging with the actual calls on Monday. I took the job because the calls will be in English, in fact there is a policy in the company where we are only allowed to speak English the majority of the time, so I figured that would be a great way to keep practicing and get better at it. I'm a little nervous though, and that's why I'm writing this. This is my way of getting all that "fear" out of my system. I've dealt with customers before in person and on the phone, but never having to cover so many aspects like the greeting, identify, solve, verify and close things that are required for me to get good grades on, so to speak. If I don't cover one of those, I loose points and that will not be good for my over all performance. I really want to keep this job for as long as I can, not only for my family but for myself as well. I want to show myself once again that I can do anything I set my my mind to. This is really helping by the way. So yeah, that is the deal with me right now. When I get to start something new, I always get nervous, so I guess this won't be the last time. The important thing here is that I am willing to confront it as many times as it is required for me to master it. I always do anyways :D

Cheers

Sucks to be sick!!!

So I took the weekend off from everything because I started to feel sick on Friday at work. I've got a couple shoots so far and I'm starting to feel better, and I still have 2 more to go. I hate shoots and I hate getting sick because when I'm finally staring to get on track with my exercise routine, this happens and it feels I have to start all over again, not to mention the fact that I have to go to work. Those 2 don't go together at all. Anyways, it is what it is.

Since I didn't do much this weekend, I had a lot of time to think about the things I believe in, one of them being vegetarianism. I year ago I decided to become vegetarian, and I did. I lasted about 6 months. For what I remember, I felt great during that time. Why did everything change? I came back to Mexico. I know that's not an excuse but unfortunately my belief system wasn't as strong as it is becoming right now. I grew up on Mexican food after all and I admit, after 10 years of not tasting the good seasoning us Mexicans have, I became weak. Now I feel bad though, all that hard work thrown away for a little weakness is not the way to go. So I've decided to start all over again, get rid of the meat once and for all because I know that's what makes me feel better, inside and out.

Well, that's it for today. This was rather a long blog compared with the previews ones. You have a great day. :D

Daily blog part 5.... I don't really have an original title., that's why :S

What's up anyone who just happened to stumble upon this mild reading. I just ate breakfast right after my daily workout routine. My legs and shoulders are a bit sore, so I'll take it easy tomorrow. Also, tomorrow the world cup begins so I'm exited about it, Mexico vs South Africa...it shall be good!!!!. Work it's getting a bit easier now so I don't feel so stressed out... and that's about it, just trying to get a blog in everyday for as long as I can. :D

Have a good day.

Daily Blog... so far :P

Yesterday, I was feeling like crap. Today, I'm feeling like my normal self again. I did my usual exercise routine and at the end I added some wieght lifting for my shoulders, jumping lunges, and some exercises for my buttocks :P. Work last night was alright, finally, cuz I hate work when I'm not feeling up to it. Unfortunally, I have to do it, we all have to earn a living somehow.

Well, that's it for today, I don't want to push it :D

Not feeling too well today :(

Yesterday at work, I started to feel really tired and upset. Today, I feel a bit better but I'm still upset. That is not good. I don't even feel like explaining why I feel this way, it's very stupid when i really think about it, but I can't help it. I didn't even got up early today to go exercise. It's alright, I'l get better soon enough, I always do.

Hello again!!!

Wow!!! this is the first time in about a year that I feel like writing a blog 2 days after the other. I'll just let it be.

About an hour ago, I came back from my running routine. I usually jog for 3 laps, then I do what is know as HIIT (high intensity interval training), 20 seconds of high intensity running followed by 30 seconds of rest, 7 times. Then I go to the stairs and do it back and forth for about 6 minutes. If I feel like it, I'll do some push ups and sit ups, but today I didn't. Today, I'm going back to work. I don't feel as bad as I did on Friday, so hopefully I will pay more attention and do the best that I can to keep moving forward.

That's about it, just trying to keep it simple so I get to do this again tomorrow.

Thanks for reading, have a great day :D

Hello and thanks to whoever is reading this.

It's been a while since I wrote something in here and I thought it was about time. A lot of things had happened since the last time I was I Power active member. I moved back to Mexico (I lived in New York for 10 years), I was unemployed for several months. I have job now though which is pretty good, I needed the money and it's going well so far. During the time of unemployment, I stopped exercising for about 3 months, that was not such a good idea because I got really depressed. Not doing anything really got to me, so I started exercising again. Now I have to get out there and do it at least 4 times a week. I get depress if I don't. Pretty crazy, huh? Anyways, even though I do have a job and I exercise, I don't feel 100% complete. I'm unmotivated most of the time and that really sucks. I'm still looking for that thing that's gonna change my life forever, I wish I knew what it is.

Okay, that's it for today. Have a good one!

Man, I keep delaying my over all success...

...at writing anyways.

Last time I checked in, it was November of last year. The truth is, I don't know what I want to write about sometimes, or get really bored of trying, so I leave it all together. I have to change that bad habit, because to tell you the truth I enjoy it when I write, Even though it's just a few sentences like right now, because I'm about to leave again :P. I'll be back sooner though :D.
