How Big Is Your Box?
You may of heard the term “Thinking Outside The Box” before, maybe you haven’t. Well today that term is stuck in my head for some reason. Maybe it’s because I realized I’ve been stuck inside the box for a while and it’s been getting smaller. I know in the past I have gone on autopilot. I have tasks, I do them and the next day I repeat, rinse, repeat, rinse and repeat. What this means is my world has stopped growing because I am experiencing nothing new. So today I went for a walk to the shop and talked with some friends. I watched an old lady back into my friends car and dent the tailgate. Then to my surprise he said not to worry about it as he could fix it. I also bought tickets to the Endurocross for this weekend in Vegas. That is going to be some serious fun! All of this broke my routine of staying at home and working or playing games on the computer.
Now with my business I am struggling with making it gigantic. Right now money is tight. But I want to hire a team of writers for my websites. They cost money, but their writings will bring people to my sites which will in turn make lots of money. But it will take time. So do I have them work slowly so I don’t have to pay much? Or do I borrow money to pay a big team of them? This is risky for me. I know, well I believe it will take off and prosper over time. But do I believe in myself enough to take the leap? Well I have a writer from Muldova who is doing a great job. Starting Friday I will probably hire him fulltime and look for more people to write as I have 10,000 articles that need writing (yah that is a lot) and I am adding more everyday.
I think the traditional, safe thing to do is only spend what you have. Play it safe so you can retire and live a comfortable and secure life in your retirement home. Well, millionaires didn’t play it safe, they were aggressive and took risks. Most failed many times before finding the one thing that succeeded.
With my new website model, my goal is to have 1,000,000 articles written with over a billion webpages. In the past I’ve created websites that had over a million pages. But they were filled with junk and didn’t really offer the reader something of value. But now that’s changed. With a little luck, maybe it’ll be the new MySpace, who knows.
Below is a great puzzle that can get you thinking outside of the box. The goal is to connect all 9 dots with 4 straight lines without lifting your pen off the sheet of paper. See if you can solve it.
And the answer is here:
