I had a great weekend with a friend from Taiwan. I felt good because I did not spend a lot of time in front of my computer over the weekend. We watched few movies at home and enjoy outdoor activities together. Last week was an intense week, because I spent so much time working on my online stores. I am getting to the point to re-design or to improve the conversion rate on my stores.
Start doing Internet Marketing on my own is not an easy job. In the past few weeks, I bought a great book and start implementing some techniques to enhance my online business. There is a long way to go with it. In some case, it’s quite lonely, but I have to move on. I think there is not much for me to confess about what I did in the past week. It’s like spending too much time on Twitter or Plurk. I will start shorten my Weekend Confession.
If you don’t know what I have been through with Internet Marketing, you can read a series of post about my painful experience with Internet Marketing experts.

While showing my friend around town, we had some conversation about our future plan and achievement in our life. I see the hesitation from my friend’s eyes. He wants to make a good living and succeed in his life as an entrepreneur like I do. However, I don’t really feel his energy. I asked myself, did he see the same thing from my eyes?
I think that’s a good question that I need to ask myself. What did I see myself in my eyes? Confusion? Desperation? Hope or something else?
What do you see yourself from your own eyes?
Regard what you see from within your own eyes, we need to move on. Our journey may end, but we need to make sure it ends with the way we expect.
How about “contentment”? How come you are not willing to consider this very real feeling?
@Ramana:
In my dictionary, I don’t have such word called “contentment.” I will have that word in my dictionary until I fulfill my dream. There is nothing to cheer about without reaching the goal.
Contentment will give me excuse to slow down my pace.
Fair enough. All the best to you.
I can see what you are talking about, but I see it in most of the bloggers out there today. Most of them want to make big bucks working online, but they don’t have the drive to get there. Motivation has never been a problem for me. I don’t know why it comes so hard for others.
@Bryan:
Thank you for coming back. People either qive up too early or expect too much from what they are doing on the Internet. Many big many making bloggers took years to get what they are getting now. I am sure it will take me a while to get what I want, but it’s getter closer each single day.
” It’s like spending too much time on Twitter or Plurk.” this is kind of why I haven´t been participating actively in the social scene, afraid I will get “addicted” and spend way too much time while I should be working on adding way more content, building links and other activities …
I can relate to how wonderful it is at times to take a breather and not be stuck to the computer screen for hours, and coming weekend is one of those times that I won´t turn on the computer at all… life won´t stop if you don´t log in occasionally but on the other hand, it does give a little push to turn back to work with a refreshed look “and brain”
best to you my friend!!
Its good to get away from your computer once in a while, I find reading books about internet marketing and entrepreneurialism help me to.
