Build Your Internet Business Like McDonalds
This is an excellent article. This is what I keep telling everyone about. Internet Marketing is not about making a couple of extra bucks. It's a legitimate business which deserves to be treated like one.
"I was reviewing one of my favorite books the other day and it reminded me that we really should all be building out internet businesses just like Ray Crock did at McDonalds. Of course, the book I’m talking about is The eMyth by Michael Gerber. Actually, the latest version is called The eMyth Revisted.A lot of people mistakenly believe that The eMyth is about the electronics age, or email, or ecommerce, but actually E is for entrepreneurial myth. In The eMyth Gerber goes through an example of how McDonalds was able to franchise its business all across the world and the systems they used to do that.
As a matter of fact, Gerber points out that a new McDonalds franchise opens somewhere in the world every eight minutes. This is truly remarkable and only possible because the McDonalds business is completely systemized.
Every tiny detail that is involved in running a McDonalds is documented in McDonalds’ procedure manuals. How big the hamburgers should be, what the buns should look like, how thick the patties should be, they even have a procedure for where the pickles go. Crock recognized that if you place the pickles in a particular configuration you could keep them from falling off of the hamburger into the customer’s lap, therefore increasing customer satisfaction.
All of these tiny details are precisely documented in McDonalds’ procedure manuals. The impact of this careful documentation is twofold. One, it makes McDonalds run like a finely oiled machine. It gives consistency of experience at every McDonalds that you go to. In fact, I’ve been to McDonalds in Tokyo and Korea, in Texas, in Tennessee, they’re all the same.
Actually, as a side note, McDonalds in Tokyo also serves noodles, which kind of freaked me out a little bit, but that’s neither here nor there."

Internet Marketing as a business
I have had a number of wonderful gurus as mentors throughout this journey. It all began with a book I read called "Earning US Dollars in Your Pyjamas" by Sensze. That book introduced me to the possiblilities of an online income. Later, while browsing the web I stumbled upon Travis Sago and his Bum Marketing method and that took me to a new level. I began my first steps in earning a food side income from Article Marketing with my main platform being Squidoo. Eventually I joined Niche Rockets and got to know Scot Sandke, a wonderfully generous guru who was always feeding his subscriber with suggested niches and wonderful tools and tips that began to spur me to newer heights. It is thru Niche Rockets that I began to seriously think of Internet Marketing as a business. My present guru is Jim Morris and the things that I am learning now is setting the foundation for a more permenant and secure business.
If I could give just one advice for anyone looking into making a living online it would be to never ever ever give up. What you are doing right now may seem like a waste of time but just keep chugging along and someday soon your efforts will pay off.

How to get my driving license
"This is one of the most satisfying experience for me."
How I did it: I finally made up my mind to get it done. I paid for the driving lessons and went for every session dilligently and paid close attention to what my instructor taught me. On the test day, I kept calm and kept projecting that I would pass the test in my mind. I kept this calm state of mind throughout the whole test and managed to breeze through without any hiccups.
Lessons & tips: The only important thing to remember is to keep calm. It's not as hard as you think and it is only your state of mind that makes it seem hard.
It took me 11 years.
It made me Extremely Happy

Avatar Movie Review
Without spoiling too much of the plot, here's a trailer of the movie and a piece of advice: If you're gonna watch one movie this year, watch Avatar. Believe me, it's worth it and this coming from a guy who has watched it half a dozen times already.
But think about it for a second. What really is the thrill of the movie that has drawn in millions of dollars within a few days of it hitting the big screens? Is it those big blue people, I doubt it or the Smurfs would have had a bigger following. You could say it was the stunning graphics and flawless CGI. But aren't we at a stage of cinematics advancement that we've come to expect such perfection from Hollywood? No, it goes more deeper than that.
What would make us cheer so loudly when these aliens shoot their oversized arrows into a soldier? What would make us weep so much when we watch their tree home burn or shake our fist in anger as the bulldozers tear down the plants?
We see in ourselves the greed of the corporation. We see in our very own souls the very evil that the hired guns visited upon the Na'vi as they killed them mercilessly. We see our own selves there and we hate what we see. Then we look at the Na'vi and we see something that we wish we were or wish we could be.
Face it. Humanity has come to a stage where we have begun to despise our own selves to a point where seeing another race killing and beating us is actually fulfilling. We have begun to hate who we are and are spiraling on a death wish that can only end with either a change of who we are or annihilation.
Whatever the case, it looks like Hollywood has realised this too. We can look forward to more enjoyable films where the evil humans lose and the good aliens triumph over us.
