Keep Your Eye on the Bird
In the last 2 weeks I’ve had my focus on decoration my apt. in a certain way. I’ve put up pictures of me and cash, filled a bottle with coins and paper money (to the top), put a million dollar bill next to my whiteboard, etc. The idea is to put all the subconscious triggers for abundance so that I can think more in terms of money and less about anything else. I’m done now, and ready to change my focus again. It’s time to focus on my goal: Frank Kern.
Every missile fired, every trajectory, every road traveled have one common thing: an end result. How can an arrow be loosed without first determining a target to hit? How can you correct your too-left swerve/turn when you’re driving if you don’t know when to stop correcting and focus on getting somewhere? You need a goal. You need something you want to be… as if that’s not enough, you need to be specific.
Well, here is what I want:
- I want to have the same business model and transaction size that Frank Kern has (or what we’re meant to believe he has, since MC has a way of making things look bigger than they really are).
- I want to earn between 1 and 10 million dollars per year.
- I want to have more than one home
- I want to travel the four corners of the world and discover new places I’ve never heard about.
- I want to share my life with someone… someone to spend my money on and enjoy life with.
- I want to have friends who, like me make money online by the millions every year. We build each other up, and excel at blocking out all the cynics so we can work on our businesses, make a boatload of cash and give a ton of it away.
3 Months Ago…
The last time I was specific about my goals was April 29, 2010. You can read the full post here. Basically I said that I wanted:
- To amass enough money to pay off my school debts and create a Canadian corporation.
- To run an eBook business through the corporation making full time income on a part time basis.
- To use the extra time and money to have great experiences with my family and around the world, getting the most out of what the world has to offer.
I’ve shifted my focus from the first to the third, and now I’m working on shifting it to the 2nd, while continuing to enjoy life with the third. I take care of the 1st on a regular basis at a rate I’m comfortable enough with to say that I don’t need to think about it anymore.
Moving Forward
My next step is to focus on everything Frank Kern has ever said, done, and created. His results, his efforts, his measured, managed and money-made empires.

Simple title, simple answers.
- You work for 4 weeks. Then you get paid. Why? Because your employers want the use of the money… they’re smarter than you. They can put more money down, they can negotiate better interest rates, etc.

Rich people get paid for their work before they do it, and poor people get paid for the work after they do it.
Dan Kennedy deserves the best. The more I listen to his seminars the more stupid I feel…now, if I can transfer that feeling of “stupidity” to a feeling of inspiration I’m good to go.
Triggering the Phenomenon is getter easier… I’m just a few short feet away from it.

Looking back on the last 2 years has made me realize something that few can admit to: I’ve lived.
Each day is 24 hours… and each day I do things for 24 hours. Some days I’ve layed down in bed sick for days at a time… recovering at other times from surgery or a sore bone. But every day has indeed always been 24 hours long, no matter what I did.
Each day is 24 full hours… especially the days that I accomplish the most in my day. The days that I set out with a big long list of projects… and complete everything (or a lot of them) are the days I remember the most.
Last summer my Travian business took off within 24 hours of completing it. I invested myself in it heavily against the advice of my mom, dad and brother. They told me I was day-dreaming too much and had to snap back to reality. As if running around like a chicken with its head cut off looking for a J.O.B. (Just over broke) would be “snapping back to reality”. Anyway, I remember those days… not like they were yesterday, but like they were last summer. Because since then I’ve had so many more full days.. big fulfilling days.
They were right: Life is long… and you can make it even longer by getting up early, exercising, having a fun attitude and always doing things seek out the long term benefit.
For the month of July I’m working on making my daily thoughts and life consistent with the state they were in when I was in Montreal. I had everything figured out, so much that were something disturbing to come into my life I could usually rationalize why it didn’t apply to me or I could take the action I needed to fix the problem right away.
There are currently things in my life that are hindering me. They prevent me from thinking clearly and inspirationally. Getting a new computer is one of these things. I’m dying to get a new system that runs for longer than 1 hr without overheating. However I can’t. Why? I just cannot seem to find a website that ships to Korea that is also in English. So in order to get a computer I have to talk about it to a whole bunch of people… something I have no experience doing. It’s not that I never speak to humans; it’s that I’m not in the habit of explaining my entire agenda to satisfy their “curious” questions and get what I want. And so in order to get a computer that works half decently I have to invest tremendous brain power into getting it to my door. This drives me out of my mind.
On the upside I can see where one of those assistants in India would become VERY useful. For the first time I’m seriously thinking of getting one because doing the confusing research all over the internet is draining… so draining it becomes frustrating. What else?
I used to pay for bills as soon as they arrived because I had the assurance that my finances could handle them. Of course I have that assurance now, but I have another hindrance I never thought possible: logging into my online banking is the biggest test of patience I ever tried. There is no such thing as typing in a username and password to login. One must have a “digital certificate” and a whole bunch of BS that installs on your computer to make sure you can login securely. The frustration of navigating the Korean websites, translating every second hieroglyph and going through my files every time I want to remember one of my passwords is putting me in a state of anxiety that prevents me from thinking about other things like “How will I pay for the trip I want to take with my girlfriend to Paris”. I didn’t have a hard time thinking about that before. The ideas just flowed and I was able to cope in ever way. Now I can’t.
Korean social values are so far from American ones it’s no wonder the country is not rich. In America you can make your millions just by knocking on doors cold calling and meeting new people in coffee shops. Here, there’s an invisible barrier that stands between me and every person on the street, in my school and at my church. A Korean would call it “honorifics”. I call it “being stuck up”. I cannot say hello to someone because they are older than me… and if I can, I can’t say it properly because I have to learn about 5 different ways of saying “hi” based on the person’s supposed age. If my dream was to create a bridge between Canada and Korea through business like Simon Bureau then I might see the value in doing business in Korea. For now I simply do not.

I’m running out of ideas for relaxation.
In Canada, I would relax by spending an evening lying on the grass in a park reading a book. It looks like that won’t ever happen here unless I’m already sleeping.
I would also climb up a mountain, go off the beaten path and sit on the edge of a cliff to relax. Well those don’t exist here unless one wants to travel for a few hours… by then the evening is almost already over. I guess I had it really good living in the city and right next to a mountain.
Lately I’ve been biking at night, which is pretty cool… except for the high concentration of dust on some days, which will go into my eyes.
