What Belly Dancing Taught Me about Personal Branding

This is a guest post by Lisa Barone. If you haven’t noticed Personal branding is a huge passion of mine. It’s a must know subject for anyone looking to grow a business on the Internet and when I came across this article I knew it needed to have place on my blog. It is by far one of the best explanations I have read on the subject of finding ones voice, which is a process every writer goes through.

I have always loved writing and I think initially this was why I was so attracted to blogging. Although, I don’t feel I have arrived to that state of total connection with what I am supposed to be writing about, I feel I am indeed honing in on what is calling me.

This article is a brilliant explanation of the journey of finding ones voice..I hope you enjoy!

Okay, that’s totally overstating it. I’m wiggling to music in what is labeled a belly dancing class. Read more

How I Switched From a PC to a MAC…

I have been thinking of switching to a Mac for a long time. I have owned at least 10 PCs in my life, and sadly nearly all of them have succumbed to viruses and spy-ware.

This year I  had bought a new Compaq because my Gateway crashed. And not even four months after buying it, my Compaq was running so slow from some virus it had that I finally made the decision to make the switch once and for all.

Initially the biggest thing that was holding me back was learning the new OS (operating system) because at the time I had so many other things going on and the last thing I needed was to take on another learning curve.

What I found however, is that the Mac is much better organized and easier to use than the PCs I owned. If you commit to spend a half a day going through the basic tutorials,  you will probably have a better idea of how to operate you new Mac than you ever did on your PC. That was my experience anyways.

The best thing about having a Mac is that it has made everything I am doing with my travel blog tens times easier. All the media programs like Imovie, Itunes, Iphoto etc… make publishing and keeping track of media files so ridiculously easy. Needless to say, I will never be going back. Check out the video to see how I finalized the transition. I know it’s cheesy. but hey, it gets me traffic!

What is a Freedom Architect?

“Freedom in general may be defined as the absence of obstacles and the realization of ones desires”

-Bertrand Russell (Nobel Prize Winner – Philosopher 1872 – 1970)

The term Freedom Architect describes the new age of digital entrepreneurs who are achieving financial independence through a special set of skills and knowledge that have enabled them to live without concern of time or money, from anyplace in the world.

The drive of the Freedom Architect is not to create money for the sole purpose of buying material things, but to liberate himself from the confines of his individualistic concerns, so he can live the life he or she wants to live, instead of simply working to survive.

In essence, they have achieved the three freedoms of time, money and place for the sole purpose of living out their desires and doing things no one has ever done and taking action where others have only dreamed.

They are focused and clear on their direction and understand that life experience is the father of knowledge, and that true happiness can only come from the ability to live out their passions through the achievement of  total freedom.

Their passion is to live an extra-ordinary life. They are intensely independent and individualistic and masters at turning their dreams into reality. A true Freedom Architect paves their on path and refuses to accept somebody else’s set of ideals. They follow their own rules and as a result create amazing lives of freedom and adventure.

“Man is free the moment he chooses to be”

-Voltaire (Enlightenment Writer 1694 – 1778)
