Distraction Age Doctrine

I’ve heard some IM “Guru” talking talking about Information Age Doctrine. YES, we have so much information that we get distracted by one thing to the next. I have so many partially done websites and.. oh is my phone ringing… maybe I’ll check my email… whats on TV tonight? Wow, what a roller coaster!

Focus and action is the name of the game.

How Do You Find Success? Take Action!

I have issued a call out to help people with Alexa Rankings and teaching them how to improve their numbers.

The first site I see is by Keith Goodrum. Why will I promote him? Because he takes Action by setting up a blog. He is part of the 2% group that takes information and doesn’t let it sit on the shelf. Check him out at: http://www.keithgoodrum.com/this-is-where-it-all-begins/

Take Action Now! I have only four more slots left and then I will be charging $200-$300 per blog to help with Alexa Rankings. If you want to get this service free go to http://www.samcarrara.com/marketing/alexa-update/ and comment with your website. Don’t wait, I’m closing this free period soon.

Be a 2% Person,
Sam Carrara

Some Light Reading

Do you feel like you are getting burned out? I was and then decided to put in action a tip Tim Ferriss made.

Paraphrasing, he reads to relax his brain. Sometimes you just need to put down the book about PPC, adsense, articles, Facebook, Myspace, etc. and just take a breather.

I did this recently with I Am Legend. I saw the movie, liked it and got the book for Christmas. When the book is good I’ll just burn through it.

Check out the other books I’m reading at: http://www.samcarrara.com/marketing/index.php?now_reading_library=true

If you like this part of the site, let me know in a comment. Also if you want to know where to find the WordPress plugin, let me know.

My goal is to read at least one “fun” book per month.

Now Reading,
