  • One New Blog Every Second?

    According to our Dear Matt Mullenweg and/or Andrew Nacin, there’s one new blog created each and every second (among other interesting things). Yes, that’s 60 new blogs per minute, 3,600 new blogs per hour, 86,400 new blogs per day.

    Captivating stat. Yet my guess is that 99% of them don’t know how to build an Internet business…

  • Overwhelment

    Overwhelment

    Just got this inspiring piece of advice (from Abraham-Hicks) in my inbox that I’d like to share with you:

    Overwhelment is about you not being up to speed with what you told the Universe that you want. The Universe is yielding to you. You’re just not ready to receive it right now.

    — Abraham

    Interesting, eh? Haven’t thought of it that way!

  • Steve Jobs’ Blood Pressure

    Steve Jobs’ Blood Pressure

    Looks like Steve Jobs set up a separate Twitter account for his blood pressure (his words), and is attracting around 100 followers per hour.

    Although I’m still not on Twitter yet, I incidentally captured that today and found a few hilarious tweets from Steve, and I thought it would be fun to share my Top 5 with ya:

    1. Microsoft, kiss my apps.
    2. Adam’s Apple was an iMac.
    3. An Apple a day keeps the doctor away. Best healthcare plan there is.
    4. First Opera. Now Google has submitted Chrome to the App Store. I give up.
    5. Plotting to acquire Google.

    Which one is your favorite? :-)

    P.S. The above account is currently “suspended.” That’s why I removed the hyperlink.

  • Aaron Brandon’s Last DVDs

    Aaron Brandon is selling out the last DVDs of one of his best sellers, Earn An Income By Publishing Your Own Printed And Mailed Newsletter. I urge you to check it out as soon as possible before they’re gone forever.

    Well, perhaps it already is too late…

    That said, I’ll be creating some pretty cool stuff with Aaron Brandon together very soon. As a matter of fact, we’ll be meeting on the phone this very week sharing our strategies on how to start a thriving Internet business.

    Who’s Aaron anyway?

    Well, one could say we’re two shining James Brausch apprentices. ;-)

    Anyway, we’re going to share some hard core techniques and strategies on that call. We’ll come up with plenty of cool stuff, that’s fo sho, and it’ll help a bunch of people.

    Yes, we’re going to create a product out of it.

    We know what’s going on in the Internet business world today, how badly people are struggling and starving to make a living online, and this product, with its step-by-step advice, would certainly sell like crazy. But, perhaps I’ll give it away for free to those who sign up to my newsletter here.

    What do you think?

  • James Brausch Is Back

    “Who’s James Brausch?” you ask? Yeah right, he wasn’t one of those noisy Internet business figures you read about every day.

    Well, just browse through past entries of my blog to get an idea, and take a look at the seven James Brausch DVDs still on sale here (sidebar) that provide precise step-by-step instructions on how he made millions online. (As a matter of fact, just last week I offered something very cool to my list of subscribers that was James Brausch related. You may want to subscribe to my blog announcement list to receive notice of more cool stuff that’s coming up soon.)

    Anyway, James Brausch is backnot in the Internet business scene (yet?), but I’m very glad to read (and learn) from James again, nonetheless.

    If, after reading through my blog, you’re still curious, here’s what had happened.

    Welcome back, James, and all the best for you and your family on your boat tour!

  • New Features In WordPress 2.7

    After following the beta development and testing it on another domain, I went ahead the other day and installed WordPress 2.7 RC1 here on my blog. Furthermore, I updated my blog’s theme to take advantage of the new features WordPress 2.7 offers such as threaded comments (where one can reply to individual comments).

    Thank you, Otto, your 2.7 Comments Enhancements instructions were a big help. :-)

  • The Biology Of Belief

    Intelligente Zellen: Der Geist ist stärker als die GeneI just finished watching an excellent DVD — Bruce Lipton‘s “Intelligente Zellen: Der Geist ist stärker als die Gene” which translates to “Intelligent Cells: The Spirit is Stronger Than the Genes.”

    The DVD is based on his book The Biology of Belief: Unleashing the Power of Consciousness, Matter and Miracles and showcases his live event in Vienna, Austria in 2008.

    Excellent, excellent. I recommend it to anyone who wants to go beyond old-school medicine and take charge of their own life.

    Looks like you can’t get it at amazon.com, but at amazon.de or koha-verlag.de.

    The DVD is in English, German, and Italian.

  • Congratulations, America!

    US Americans… Here is to congratulate you and your country for having Barack Obama as your 44th President. It is the right man at right place at the right time. He’s the one who can and will bring the United States back on track, and he’s the one who brings people together.

    It was very emotional when I followed the Election Day last night (via TV and Internet) and watched the results pour in. And then… We both had tears in our eyes at Barack Obama’s incredible speech in Chicago. It was a very special moment. It still gives me the creeps whenever I watch it. (John McCain’s speech was also touching.)

    The last time I had such emotional, deeply touching moments was during the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989. Millions of people became free that time. And last night… I saw people from all over the world celebrating, including entire Germany. (Likely 98% wished he would win, including me.)

    A historical moment that will change our lives to the better. The American dream is alive again.

    I’m so proud and happy for you Americans.

    Thank you, Barack Obama.

    —Marcus Hochstadt

    P.S. For some more touching moments, here’s a video of Barack Obama’s Berlin speech (July 24th, 2008) in front of more than 200,000 celebrating, cheering people (and this although he was just a candidate that time!). Listen closely to what he said.

    Amazing. Simply amazing.
