If Today Was Your Last Day

I stumbled upon this song while browsing for some new music to listen to. Although many of you have probably heard it already, pay close attention to the lyrics. It is really enlightening and eye opening.


I think we need to all get back to just living life and doing things that makes us happy and forget the past and everything and everybody that ruins our mood. I feel as if too many of us live life in constant fear of the unknown and the fear of what somebody else is going to think or say. Well forget them just live your life and forget the rest. Aim high, chase your dreams, live, and forget the rest because it will all take care of itself!


My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride

The Power of Thinking

"The man who acquires the ability to take full possession of his own mind may take possession of anything else to which he is justly entitled." - Andrew Carnegie


Your thoughts have led your life to where it is now. Your thoughts are like a car and depending on whether the thoughts are positive or negative the car will begin to travel in a certain direction. Where you are today is a direct correlation to what you have thought over the last years. If your life is not what you expected it to be at this age then pay close attention to your thoughts and you will soon realize that they have greatly contributed to where you are today. On the brighter side if you change your thoughts you can travel far beyond your wildest dreams. Your thoughts act like a magnet and they attract whatever you are thinking. 


A prime example of this came about when I was reading an article the other day. The article was about a man who became a multimillionaire at the age of 20 I believe. He stated that he became a millionaire because all he ever thought about was how his life was going to be when he became a millionaire and just like he had perceived he did in fact become a millionaire and his life was everything he thought it would be.


However the interesting part is, after he reached the multimillionaire status he began to think about what will happen if he lost all this money, how his life would change, and the effect that it would take on him. And just like that in a matter of time he was DEAD BROKE and in DEBT! If you don't believe me I actually posted the story on this blog, so you can check it out if you want here http://everythingmotivation101.blogspot.com/2011/06/how-andrew-fashion-made-25-million.html

His story just goes to show you the power your thoughts have. Start today in viewing your thoughts as a magnet and as a weapon to attract whatever you want from life.

Words Can Change Your Life

What you say really takes a toll on your brain more than you could ever imagine. Your brain is wired to believe everything you say. Although, at first it may not believe whatever you are saying with time if you keep repeating the saying, it will eventually believe it. That's why affirmations work great. With all this is mind start becoming aware of what you say, because believe it or not your mind is beginning to believe what you are saying. I remember fondly a time in university when we had to write some really challenging exams, however every time somebody approached me asking me how the exam was or how do you think the exam is going to be I would always reply with something along the lines of "Oh it's going to be pretty easy." People would look at me like is this kid crazy. I knew that if I just came out and blurted "Damn, it's going to be hard as hell" my mind would believe it and when I went to write it I would already have the belief that this is going to be a hard exam and as a result I would do poorly on the test. I don't know if I studied harder or if it was due to my beliefs, but I would always get better grades than the rest. So keep that in mind the next time you say something is hard. I personally try to never use the word hard or anything like it, and maybe you should do the same.


"When you are asked if you can do a job, tell 'em, 'Certainly I can!' Then get busy and find out how to do it." - Theodore Roosevelt

Law of Attraction Quotes

If you aren't aware of what the law of attraction is than the following quotes will put it into perspective for you.

"Hold a picture of yourself long and steadily enough in your mind's eye, and you will be drawn toward it."



"You control your future, your destiny. What you think about comes about. By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be. Put your future in good hands - your own."



"Remember, whatever you focus upon, increases...When you focus on the things you need, you'll find those needs increasing. If you concentrate your thoughts on what you don't have, you will soon be concentrating on other things that you had forgotten you don't have-and feel worse! If you set your mind on loss, you are more likely to lose...But a grateful perspective brings happiness and abundance into a person's life."



"Anything we focus on we do create. So if we're really angry, for instance, at a war that's going on, or strife, or suffering, we're adding our energy to it. We're pushing ourselves, and that only creates resistance."


"It’s really important that you feel good. Because this feeling good is what goes out as a signal into the universe and starts to attract more of itself to you. So the more you can feel good, the more you will attract the things that help you feel good and that will keep bringing you up higher and higher."


"You are a living magnet. What you attract into your life is in harmony with your dominant thoughts."

“I do not try to dance better than anyone else. I only try to to dance better than myself.”

Become Self Disciplined

The definition of self discipline in my mind is the ability to make yourself do what you should do when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not. This is really important as this skill will allow you to get well ahead of everyone else if you practice it. An example of being self disciplined is doing your homework instead of going out with your friends to watch movies. PRACTICE SELF DISCIPLINE IN EVERYTHING YOU DO!

Quote of the Day

“How soon 'not now' becomes 'never'.”

Two Skills That Are Detrimental Towards Your Success

The two skills that you need to develop in order to achieve success in anything are DRIVE and PERSEVERANCE. You need drive in order to take action and remain focused in order to get where you want to go, and you need perseverance so you can push on in the midst of difficulty. If you have both these skills than the chances of you becoming successful are almost guaranteed. And for those of you who don't have these skills, it's okay, just like any other skills these can be developed.

Action Exercise

This months action exercise is to read each day for 60 minutes. Read about a topic that will put you well ahead of the others. If your in business, pick up a book about business. If your a teacher, pick up a book about teaching. Whatever it is... just read 60 minutes EACH DAY. Let me do the math for you. One hour each day translates into a book a week which translates into 500 books a year. Imagine how ahead of the competition you will be if you muster down and read 60 minutes a day. Do this now. If you don't have any books or need some recommendations email me @ whatsthepointoflivingaverage@gmail.com and I will make sure you get something that peaks your interest.

How Andrew Fashion Made 2.5 Million

The Following Inspiring Story Is From http://www.andrewfashion.com/category/young-stupid/

This blog is to explain how I made 2.5 million (rough amount pre-tax) on my own, what I did with it, and how I lost it, and how I plan to get there again. This will be a story of facts, true events, and possibly more… This story is to be a reminder of myself that greatness can be achieved by anyone, and hopefully to inspire you and maybe inspire myself again. If you keep up with any of my blogs, you can tell I am a venter who has lost his Mojo. So let’s dig in to some of the details…

July to October 2005 Wow it’s hard for me to even believe it was this long ago? Four years ago I guess… Ugh, how time goes so quickly… July through October was where I was busting my ass off, literally, like you see in the movies, day and night programming. I was barely 18 years old now, just turned 18 in May 2005. I just moved to my 2nd apartment complex ever. My first roommate was Michael Bale, a friend I have had around since elementary school. Him and I have always had the same interests in making tons of money on the internet, ever since early high school, including having Counter-Strike 1.3 in common, haha. Him and I went our seperate ways for a little, and I moved in with Kurtis, my 2nd apartment as I just stated. I basically gave him free rent, food, etc… if he agreed to help me work on my websites. Photoshop websites, art community websites, myspace sites, etc… I had a few photoshop sites, and I forget the names to them, a humor website (thehumorworld.com), and iDesignThis.com an art community. I have always been a website guy, programmer, and entrepreneur at heart. I literally spent every waking second on the computer building websites, drinking 12 packs of soda every single day, fucking literally. I could down a 12 pack of any type of soda quicker than any human on this earth, guaranteed. Keep in mind, I dropped out of high school because I hated it, and wanted so badly to make money off the internet via Google Ads, banner ads, any type of internet advertising, because I knew it was there, I made small amounts of money off my photoshop websites, $20-$150/day depending on how well we did or how much work we put into it. This is how I was paying rent and for food, barely making enough to cover rent. Talk about stressful, living off internet revenue, not a stable job when your small time on the internet. This is where I picked up some momentum, I sold iDesignThis.com for $2000 cash on Sitepoint.com. Now this was my first website I have ever sold, and I built the entire thing myself, well, I lied… Kurtis designed the interface, and I programmed the entire community, front-end to back-end. I forgot to mention, I did get a few small side programming jobs as well that paid, a buddy of mine in New York got me a few small jobs doing PHP/MySQL work. So, I saw a MySpace website called chasebadkids.net, and I was so into MySpace, it was obvious to myself I needed to build a MySpace site. I’ve always built support, help sites, for some reason I just liked to help people out on the internet. So I purchased MySpaceSupport.com, Kurtis” actually gave me the domain idea, and built the first few user interfaces for MySpaceSupport.com, and of course I spent every waking second programming the site, building the profile editor, the tools, layouts, etc… Kurtis” helped me a pretty great deal with designs as well. Now I had Google Ads on this website, and was making only a few bucks a day off the site. This is when I got into MySpace Whoring, when posting bulletins and having a shit load of friends actually meant something. I still have 4 accounts with 30-60k friends each, means nothing now, but back then…. Big accounts were fucking gold mines, it took me hours and days of whoring to get all the friends I had, it was like building the most insane online image ever, everyone knew who I was, it was crazy… I would slowly go from 1k, 2k, 5k, to 30k, to 50k friends in a few months, I was in chats with big MySpace Whores, even a few times I ended up in chatrooms with Chris Crocker, Forbidden, etc… It’s funny as hell to think about how big they are now… So I started paying MySpace Whores to post bulletins for my site, and every time they would post a bulletin for me, my traffic would spike huge, naturally my site would grow and spread via Links, word of mouth, bulletins, SEO, and oh it did. My site grew faster than any website I have built in my entire life of being on the internet… I started making $100-$350/day easily with Google Ads, and then the magic month came…

November 2005 I switched from Google to Yahoo Ads. I remember this night like the I know the back of my hand… Michael Bale came over, and it was obvious I was doing better, my close friends knew I started making decent money now. The night he came over, I switched to Yahoo Ads, and in approximately 4-8 hours, I don’t know how long we were bull shitting around, but that night, my Yahoo account showed I made $2000 that fucking night. I was hysterical, freaking, saying wtf, there is no way. But there was, and it was real. Naturally my site kept getting bigger and bigger. I made $100,000 in November, and since Yahoo was a Net 45-60 company…

January 2006 I received my first check for One-hundred-thousand dollars around January 15th… My life was changed, it was real, the check was in my hand, I showed everyone, my friends, my step dad, and of course the bank. It took 10 days for the bank to clear it, but after the first one, they cleared every other one instantly.

February 2006 Bought my first car in cash, 2006 BMW 330xi black on black, all options, paid $49k cash after tax, another $3k for plates and registration.

March 2006 Bought my first house in Littleton, CO. I put $80k down, $11k in closing costs, the house cost me $420k. I met Rose, we fell in love. I flew her to Hawaii last minute, we made the decision to go that night and bought the tickets that night to leave the following morning, 16 hours before departure, and my first trip ever overseas. We played UNO on the plane, cute right? Money does buy happiness, people who disagree are either A) Poor, B) Stupid, C) Envy the rich, D) All of the above

December 2006 I was unstoppable, rich, had a girl who loved me for me, my own house, my own car, an 11 foot Christmas tree, and spoiled the shit out of her. Probably spent 3-5k on her just for Christmas, not including the 5k photoshoot I paid for with Michael Vincent.

April 2007 I flew to Miami with Rick, and his friend to completely give MySpaceSupport.com a face life, this was the month and the year that destroyed me. I didn’t know a lot about SEO. Did a complete site face lift, code restructure, URL Rewrites, etc… When you have a site that is #1 for a very competitive term on Google and Yahoo search engines… You can’t just change your site completely, changing the URLs killed my page rank, my authority, any power my site had, was dropped completely, and I fell off of the search engines. 40% of my traffic was from search engines, 10-20% direct, and the other 40% from MySpace Profiles. I spent approximately 15-20k in the redesign, and it made me lose hundreds of thousands of dollars. Leads me to believe, “If it isn’t broke, don’t fucking fix it.”

August 2007 Moved to San Diego with my ex-gf Rose for 6 months, then to LA for 6 months. Lost a lot of money, and wasted a lot of money on expensive rent.

August 2008 Moved back home to CO into my house, came up with the idea of beModel.com with Jamie.

April 2008 I sold MySpaceSupport.com on April 17th because it just kept dying, and getting worse, ever since the SEO drop, I was never able to get back to the top, traffic kept dying… I sold it for 75k cash.

Conclusion Have you ever heard of “The Secret?” It’s a movie based on one theory, one law, one rule, The Law of Attraction. Let me tell you, my entire life, well ever since I started building websites around the 6th grade, and figuring out you can make money from it in the 9th grade, I have craved and wanted to make money so badly off the internet. It was my constant thought, and at some points I was making small amounts of money from the internet while in high school. I had no negative thoughts in my head, and I know it for a fact, how badly I wanted it, and it came, when I dropped out, cause I never stopped, ever. I programmed day and night working my ass off to make money from the internet. If I wasn’t skateboarding, I was on my computer 24 fucking 7, literally… All the way from grade 6 to grade 12, I went through my VB phase, C++ phase, Hacking/cracking phase, Subseven phase, and ended up sticking with PHP/MySQL/XHTML/CSS… The fact that what I wanted and saw in my head so bad came true? Making millions off the internet… Now that’s not the only law of attraction moment that happened to me… The entire time I was making millions, the entire two years, I was worried, worried to lose it all, worried my site would die, worried I would get banned or cut off. Guess what, it happened, which goes to show that “All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become.” — Buddha, so now you know how I did it, I had a vision and persevered. I hear two things a lot from people, I am ADHD and can’t ever concentrate (true), and that I am insanely persistent (true). If I want something, I never give up, ever… You must persevere, and I must continue to persevere, or I will never reach the top again. From these 4 years of experiences, I have lost a lot a faith in people, in relationships, my trust has basically been shattered, and have a hard time believing anyone anymore. People will say and do anything to get where you’re at. But if you want the fame, the money, that’s one of the consequences you must deal with, just keep you’re guard up. I feel I need to keep my guard up more, but that’s the story, that’s how I did it, and how I plan to do it again. Well it’s a little different now… beModel.com

Where it all went What can I say, I was Young & Stupid – a book I am currently working on. Girls, cars, house, house upgrades, trips, toys, Vegas, strip clubs, taxes… Be smart with your money, invest it, don’t buy anything I did, I learned my lesson the hard way… Stocks, commercial real estate, accredited investor, hedge funds, IRAs, businesses, ugh, the list goes on… Not once will I let this happen again. The toys and Vegas trips were fun, but it ate my alive in the end. The top is where you can finally breathe, and live to your fullest. Trust me. Great thanks to my friends Kurtis”, and Michael Bale for being there when I needed you guys, and helping me out. Part 2: Young & Stupid: How I Lost My Millions

"When you work and develop the skills required to succeed, success rolls up on you in a hurry."

99 Ways To Skin A Cat

It seems like everybody has their own theory on how to survive the recession. Just some of the kind of stuff you’ll see across the internet and blogosphere is advice like:

1. Protect your job
2. Move while others are distracted
3. Earn extra money
4. Evaluate your mortgage
5. Refinance high interest credit cards
6. Reduce spending
7. Haggle your way to savings
8. Conserve and reduce your energy bills
9. Avoid taking on any unnecessary debts

I really could go on to reach 99 just to represent the saying, “99 ways to skin a cat”. But I won’t waste your time. I know you can Google it for yourself and find hundreds more advice from every Tom, Dick and Harry out there.

So let me get straight to the point.

With so many ways and advice, how come not everyone gets rich? How come not everyone who reduces their spending get rich? How come not everyone who has an education get rich? How come not everyone who starts a business get rich?

Because it’s not about what you do, it’s about how you do it. Cause while there are 99 ways to skin a cat, if you don’t do it RIGHT — whichever method you have chosen — it won’t bring RESULTS.

So what is the ONE right thing that you need to do to get rich?

Bob Proctor knows. And he wants to tell you that there is a science — a formula — to get rich. It’s about doing certain things in a certain way. And this blueprint has been proven to make anyone get rich across centuries.

So before you waste your time trying out 99 ways blindly, get this one formula that will transform your financial future.

You Have To Fail Before You Succeed

Many of you probably watched the NBA championship finals the other night which was between the Miami Heat and the Dallas Mavericks. Well if your a sports fan then you are probably aware that Lebron James and Chris Bosh signed contracts with the Miami Heat this past off season. The "Big 3" were destined for greatness which in the NBA means championships. Well even though the Heat was stacked with the Big 3 it just goes to show that you have to fail before you succeed. There are no shortcuts to the championship like the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers stated. In order to succeed you have to fail, no exceptions. Success rarely happens the first time you try to do something. The problem here is when people hit failure they don't realize that failure comes before success, so they just give up and quit. So remember the next time you encounter failure just view it as a stepping stone in order to reach success!

Thinking By Walter D. Wintle

If you think you are beaten, you are
If you think you dare not, you don't,
If you like to win, but you think you can't
It is almost certain you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you're lost
For out of the world we find,
Success begins with a fellow's will
It's all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are
You've got to think high to rise,
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.

Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the man WHO THINKS HE CAN!

Compete With The Best

Not only should you surround yourself with the best, but you should compete with the best as well. By doing so you will succeed well beyond what you thought was possible. Believe me. Whatever it is you do, be around people who are the best at what you do. In order for you to become the best, you have to beat the best, and in order for you to beat the best you have to learn from the best. There's no point in surrounding yourself with people who are well below you . NO! I don't care if you get beat every single time when your with the best. You are learning way more and becoming way better then the person who just surrounds them self with people well below them and beats them every time!

Constant And Never-Ending Improvement

Your mind is a machine, and you need to build up the machine in order for it to perform at top notch level. Therefore, constantly be expanding your brain on a daily basis and improving yourself as a person. Learn something new everyday. 


Anthony Robbins refers to the idea of learning/improving everyday by using the word CANI which stands for constant and never-ending improvement. 


At the end of each day answer the following questions:
What Have I Learned Today?
What Did I Contribute Or Improve?
What Did I Enjoy?


If every single day you improve your ability to enjoy your life, then you will experience life at a level of richness most people never even dream of!
