Launching Startup Missile

Startup Missile
I’ve been living in Arizona since 1996 and have never heard about the titan missile Museum in Tucson, AZ. So I am so glad that I had chance  to take a look at the only Titan nuclear missile museum in the entire USA. I was also able to sit on the commander’s chair that had chance to change the world.

It was a cold room with lots buttons that was built to destroy the enemy. I am so glad that the world has never changed in that way. Part of the trip was to become a board member of a newly announced private organization to collaborate between Taiwan government’s Technology & Science Department, Industry Park in Taiwan, the high tech companies and universities in Arizona. My duty will be facilitating the process to help bring high tech companies to invest in Taiwan and to bring talented people from Taiwan as exchange.

This got me exciting. The fastest way to get me ahead of the high tech startup game is to put myself into the game. I will have lots opportunities to meet with high tech company’s executives, university professors, Taiwan’s government officials and Arizona state government officials.

Titan Nuclear MissileIs the missile ready to launch? Not really. the real Titan nuclear missile is retired. It will never be used to destroy the enemy and the world. It was amazing to see this giant monster and weapon in front of my eyes.

What is also interesting me has nothing about the missile. It’s the risk and opportunity I am facing. I will have chance to smooth my own startup process by utilizing OPM (other people’s money) and OPT (other people’s time).

There are so much to learn in the business world, but I am going to give my 1000%. With many other mentors leading me, I know I can succeed faster too.

Never Say Never!

I hate politician, but I end up become part of the political equation. I won’t pick a side, but I will use the political power to accomplish my goal in the fastlane way. I now need to learn how to become a lobbyist in the technology world. There is lots money to be made and lots achievement to be accomplished. I will be able to learn some real world business skills such as negotiation, resource arrangement, risk  management and politician.

This is NOT a job. It’s giving before taking!

It’s too early to see my future with this organization, but I am doing it for all or nothing. I have nothing to lose. Really!

The reality is that those people get business done without social media. So it tells me that I will need to shut my mouth off in the virtual world and get down to the business.

With that being said, I need to restructure my own business model. You have to prove that your business worth much before using OPM and OPT.

I am ready to turn the key and push the red button! I hope you are ready too!

Moving Forward With New Goals

It’s been months since my last update about the local project I’ve been working on since early 2009. The growth rate is really slow due to the slow economy, but it has been growing steady over time. There are two more days before closing the month of May 2012. I have reach new record high in terms of Google AdSense revenue. Although the subscription revenue declined, it is still NOT a bad month and half year at all.

This got me thinking if I should stay with my current subscription model or simply focus on generating more traffic. I think I am going to lower the subscription rate to increase the signup rate. The new goal is to generate 10x traffic before the end of the year and hopefully to generate 10x Google AdSense revenue. This is NOT going to be easy, but I think it’s NOT rocket science. I can do it.

Sure! You can laugh at me!

It’s been a while since I joint social media like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, StumbleUpon, Pinterest, Instagram, Google Plus, Plurk, Foursquare and many more that you don’t even know about. I have procrastinate a LOT. I mean LOTS of my time has wasted. My main reason to join social media was to learn how to effectively connect with other like-minded people and promote whatever I like to promote. I was thinking like a passenger, a follower and act like the 99%.

My majority effort are simply wasted even I did get some great benefit from it. It is NOT as expandable as it should turn out. Those social media are simply making money on people’s time. With my worst experience of being drop from the earth. I really can’t waste no more time. I need to stop procrastination!

So I decided to stop log into Facebook for 7 days. It’s day #3 now. Well. It doesn’t mean I am not using Facebook. I’ve setup semi-automated process to update my Facebook fanpage. My personal profile will simply be silent for 7 days. #nofacebook.

Business Card May Change Your Life In 3 Seconds

3 Seconds Business Rule

Last night was not a great night in terms of life changing event. I missed the big opportunity in simply 3 seconds. However, I did learn something I never previously thought about. Thanks to the person who drop my business card to the dirt in 3 seconds. I know it may sounds that the person is ridiculously rude. It actually hits my head really really hard and makes me believe that I will do the same when someone hand me their business card in the future.

This is what happened last night. A friend of mine introduces me to a high profile business man. He is well respected in the industry and a very busy business man. What amazed me about him is that he DOESN’T DO ANY WORK OTHER THAN MAKING PHONE CALLS.

With one simple call to the right person, he can get what he wants, get job done and make lots money. For people like him, he doesn’t have TIME. Time is most valuable assets to him. It was my honor to be able to meet him in person. So I got my chance to introduce myself to him. He asked “What do you do?” I handed my so-called very professional and double side business card to him and said lots things that I don’t even remember now. He looked at the card for 3 seconds and said to me. “Interesting! Where is your phone number?

Well. I thought I have seen many pretty places on earth. Now it really tells me how big the world is and how small I am, when I see this incredible picture below. Mt. Roraima, Venezuela Guyana is where this picture was taken. Isn’t it amazing. Who ever took this picture for National Geographic must felt what I feel now. I am so exciting that I now have a new destination on my atlas for my future trip.

I also wonder how many people will say “Yes. I saw that amazing place!” and turn around say “Nuh. I will never be able to go there.”

[Update] Here is an other shot of the awesome place. Click to find the original resource. http://www.zadan.nl/pics/mount/

Well this picture brings up a good question. What is the purpose of my life?

I know this title sounds horrible. As I am on my way to invest more real foreclosure properties for rental and cash flow, I also have bunch unwanted Internet Assets and Web Properties to get rid off. A successful entrepreneur should knows when to get started and when to exit. I am about to lose my control and destroy my own hard work by owning too much garbage web properties.

It’s almost 2012. It’s time to review what I got myself into in the past 6 years, and how I plan to clean up my own inventory.

That Way

I know I will piss 99% of the people who read my blog post. That’s OK. My blog is for people like me, who wants to be the 1%.

Personally, American dream isn’t about being the 99%. It’s about being the 1%.

You can blame on richer people or politicians, but you can’t deny the fact. They’ve achieved what the 99% can’t not achieve. It’s the reality and it’s just like the food chain. You have to work your way up. The brutal world isn’t fair. You have to put your effort into your future.

Put yourself in the 1%’s shoes. You will see the world differently.
