When Zippy suggested I start a blog

I had watched her for over 12 years working from her office, the living room, the kitchen table, and when we were on vacation. Honestly, it didn’t look that hard. I mean, if she could just grab her computer and start typing and make money, I figured THIS WAS A GOLDMINE. Was I ever wrong. I can’t even begin to tell you the technical side of blogging because if I’m being completely honest, I leave it to her.  She’s got the experience and has done the research.

After one year of being online

I figured that it was time to learn some of the techniques to get people like YOU to come HERE and read. So, I picked up a paperback book called Traffic Secrets: The Underground Playbook for Filling Your Websites and Funnels with Your Dream Customers and started reading.

About the Author

Russell Brunson is a Best-Selling Author & CEO of $100M software company ClickFunnels. I remember seeing some of his other books on the nightstand because my wife was already a fan. Russell has built a following of over a million entrepreneurs, sold hundreds of thousands of copies of his books, and popularized the concept of sales funnels. In 2014, Russell and partner Todd Dickerson launched ClickFunnels, which became the fastest-growing non-venture backed software company in the world.

About the Book

I admit that I may have had a preconceived notion about business books, but Mr. Brunson’s approach to teaching these skills is fun, funny, and very doable. He shares his successes as well as his failures, allowing you to learn from his mistakes and to use what he’s learned really works without spending years trying to navigate online marketing on your own.

You don’t have to go it alone

If you’ve been toying with the idea of starting an online business, whether it be selling products, information or blogging (like me), save yourself some time and pick up a copy of Traffic Secrets: The Underground Playbook for Filling Your Websites and Funnels with Your Dream Customers HERE

This post is brought to you by our sponsor, “Always Eat After 7 PM”. The opinions expressed below are my own.

I am a stubborn dieter. I always believed what I had heard about losing weight. I’ve been traditionally taught to avoid carbs, have an early dinner, and never eat before bed. But the fact is, the latest scientific research shows us this earlier model is not the most ideal. Based on surprising science, Always Eat After 7 PM debunks popular diet myths and offers an easy-to-follow diet that accelerates fat-burning and allows you to indulge in your most intense food cravings: Eating the majority of your calories at night. I had a hard time adjusting to this. My old mindset had been deeply ingrained.

I went to the source of this new book, Joel Marion to get some answers.

What made you want to write this book?

Joel Marion: After authoring 6 best selling books it was glaringly obvious there were 2 huge misconceptions about dieting that needed to be exposed. The first is that you can’t eat late at night or before bed, which science now shows is NOT true. And second, you can’t eat large portions that satisfy your natural instinct. This book solves both these problems by providing an evidence-based, enjoyable approach to dieting that can be used by any person to quickly achieve their weight loss goals.

How long did it take for you to research & create this diet program?

Joel Marion: It actually took several years of researching for me to discover the real science of eating late night. After a few years of tweaking and refining, I finally came up with a rapid fat loss solution that overcomes all the pitfalls of traditional diets.

How difficult is the Always Eat After 7 PM plan to follow?

Joel Marion: It’s not. And that’s exactly why I wrote the book. While any diet is never truly easy, it can be more enjoyable and much easier to adhere to when you understand how Always Eat After 7pm works because it caters to our bodies natural instincts.

Always Eat After 7 PM: The Revolutionary Rule-Breaking Diet That Lets You Enjoy Huge Dinners, Desserts, and Indulgent Snacks—While Burning Fat Overnight by Joel Marion is now available to purchase.

I have lost control

It doesn’t seem real that I so much lighter not that long ago. I had weight loss surgery (a sleeve) almost 2 years ago and apparently I never learned how to eat properly. The weight came back WITH A VENGEANCE. I am back to pre-surgery weight and it’s time to do it the right way, by learning how to eat like a thinner person.

There are so many diet books & programs on the market

But, with a little help from my wife, I decided that I’d pick up a copy of Always Eat After 7 PM: The Revolutionary Rule-Breaking Diet That Lets You Enjoy Huge Dinners, Desserts, and Indulgent Snacks—While Burning Fat Overnight by Joel Marion and just DO IT. I knew that I was a grazer, eating both full meals as well as snacks throughout the day…into the evening.

“Late-night eating also curbs calorie intake the next day. In a four-week study, dieters added a snack to their daily regimen 90 minutes after dinner every night, and check this out: late-night eaters ate an average of 397 fewer calories per day.”

A three-phase Plan of attack on my weight

With a laundry list of WHY I need this program that includes getting my blood pressure in check, my health back to where it was, and most of all, my golf swing back in the groove (my stance is different since gaining the weight back), I’m ready to commit. I’m beginning the acceleration plan, which lasts 14 days TODAY, and I’ll keep you posted on not only my progress, but also any setbacks that I may have.

No more excuses

It’s time to start. Whether it’s for

• Health easons
• To have more energy
• To lose weight
• Rebalancing your fat-burning hormones
• Boost your metabolism

• Get a good night’s sleep

If I can do it, so can you

Zippy would have my head if I didn’t remind you that Mother’s Day is this Sunday. No, I haven’t bought her anything…not even a card, but I am planning on a cookout with the kids around the pool. She understands that I always seem to order her gift last minute, so her Mother’s Day gift from me won’t arrive for a while. Then again…as I always tell her – YOU’RE NOT MY MOTHER 😉
