Blog reviving…

Friday, March 14th, 2008

A lot of things happened in my company and my life since the last year.

We became bigger. Bolder. Created more great software.

I, on the other hand, became older. Got separated and divorced. (Now I don’t see my kids as much. Which is a real bummer :(

Started a few new projects. One of which, InfoBusiness2.ru is making huge waves in Russia.

Wrote about 20 books, 12 audio programs and 3 live seminars.

Too bad, most of it is in Russian.

My students vary from one of the top editors in Conde Nast to supermodels, from huge business CEOs to poor students, from retired grandmas to pick-up coaches, from top trainers to public figures…

And I will share some of my strategies with you.

P.S.
I am also moving this blog from xssoftware.blogspot.com to my this domain: www.infobusiness2.com

Wordpress is much simpler to work with than Google Blogger :)

How much do we have left…

Friday, November 9th, 2007

Today got me thinking: how much really do I have until our last breath of air?

If we take the average life expectancy as 77.5 (at least that’s what the statistics are telling us).

I am almost 33. So, I’ve got what? 77.5-33=44.5 (Shocking, isn’t it?)

Then let’s subtract 30% for sleeping, eating and other physiological activities (I am not going to name them, all right? ;)

44.5 - 30% = 31.15 years left

Take off another 20% for paperwork, taxes, emails, phone calls and other daily nonsense

31.15 - 20% * 44.5 = 22.25 left….

And finally another 10% for commuting, waiting in lines, in the restaurants, stores and pharmacies, doctors, etc… (Don’t even get me started on doctors…)

22.25 - 10% * 44.5 = 17.8

LESS THAN 18 YEARS TO GO!!!

And it’s creeping me out…

And how much do you have left?

10? 20? 30? What if we subtract the time we waste watching TV? Mindlessly browsing the internet? Anything else you wanna share?

I need to do something with whatever I’ve got left. Starting NOW!

Tony Robbins has a great saying: “When would now be a good time?”

The rest of my life have started this very second.

Stay tuned. I will post my fantastic successes (and mindbogling failures right here, in this blog).

Until then,

Good luck and God bless!

Happy Birthday to me and Happy Thanksgiving to You!!!

For all our American friends, have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!

It just happened that my birthday falls on this very Friday, November 24th, 2006 as well.
