One of my several zests in life... but time is always too short!

Let’s face it, not everybody is as lucky as you or I are… they live a meager subsistence living full of disease, war and famine. If you can read this blog, “YOU ARE ONE LUCKY SON OF A BITCH” as my old barber would state in his heavy Italian accent!

Zests come in all flavors

Maybe your zest for life is cooking, or doing floral arrangements… each person has their own hobbies or better yet, businesses evolved from hobbies, that make them wake-up in the morning full of vigor and life! If you are lucky, truly lucky, then you have several hobbies which you have been successful at converting into several different profit generating enterprises. The nice thing about zest is that it can evolve, like your taste buds, into new discoveries like finding-out that “Mint Chocolate Chip” ice cream tastes good but man does “Strawberry Shortcake” taste awesome!

Finding YOUR zest

If waking-up on a daily basis becomes a dreadful experience you wish you didn’t have to bother, don’t expect any pity from others. You decide, daily, what your future will become. If life is a routine of boredom, you need to get a life that honors the give your parents gave to you. No matter your geographical, cultural, economic or ethnic background, everybody has a brain which they can use to create the life they want! Life is way too short as it is, why waste any small part of it being unhappy? If you have a goal, turn it into reality because tomorrow never comes.

Zest, check… now show me the money!

Alright, you found your reason for being, great! Now, the next step is to generate money from it. The easiest way to do this, nowadays is to get a blog going. Find others who share your zest and develop links with them and stick an “welfare for bloggers” Google Adsense thing on it. You can get free hosting and this entire enterprise costs you NOTHING. This can be done within an hour!

Google, check… now show me REAL money!

Although some people have made substantial income with just a blog, they are very few and far between. Once you have a blog, you need to diversify yourself OFFLINE. You invested the time online, now start splitting your time towards getting aspects of this zest known by local newspapers, retail or service shops. You need to tell everybody about your blog, build your community and then lead them to think of you as an expert in the field of your zest. Basically, you want to become the go-to person when questions arise in your field of endeavor. This can take a few months or several decades to achieve.

Will “I” succeed?

The word “I” is completely irrational, unless you plan on becoming your own best client… you need others to believe in you ENOUGH to spend THEIR hard-earned money on YOUR stuff or service. In other words, you should be asking, will “WE” succeed? The answer is probably NO. I challenge you to prove me otherwise.

The Bottom Line

Success takes time, ambition and a heck of a lot of luck to achieve AND maintain.
