Dream BIG… You’re not alone

August 19th, 2010

The summer is winding down.

We’ve had a record number of 90+ degree days
here in New York City. It gets especially hot here
in Manhattan where you have a lot of tall buildings
that block any breeze so you have the sweltering sun
just beating down on you.

It’s hot and muggy and humid and God help you
if you don’t have air-conditioning. Fortunately, we
have Central Park, acres and acres of tall shady trees,
green grass and no cars. It’s a great place to hang out.

If you walk about a half mile going west, to the end, you
have the Mighty Hudson River where Christopher Columbus
sailed. And all along the Hudson, you have green grass and
trees and a cool breeze that continually blows off the river.

A perfect place to cool off, relax, throw a picnic or just
enjoy the view. Most outsiders and foreigners don’t think
of these things when they think about New York City.

They think about the hustle and bustle of Wall Street
or the theatre district, 42nd Street or the jewelry district
around 49th St and 5th Ave. But remember, Manhattan
is an island, surrounded on all four sides by water.

So, no matter where you are, uptown, downtown, east or
west, there is always a great body of water not that far away. 
Great places to relax, throw a picnic and just enjoy the beauty.

If you’re stressing out because your websites aren’t bringing
in the visitors you expected, or your email campaign flops,
or you’re not making any sales and no money is coming in…

You’re Not Alone!

That’s what most people trying to make a fortune on the
internet are going through. If you’re anything like me, and
get a couple hundred emails per day from what seems like
every marketer on the planet… STOP.

If it seems like everyone is making money except YOU… STOP!
You’re not alone. There are a couple dozen or maybe a few 
dozen people making a boatload of money.

You hear from them every day, you get their emails everyday.
You start to think you’re the only one NOT making money.
But the reality is…

Millions of Internet Marketing Wannabes ain’t making a dime.

You’re not alone. You’re in the majority. I know that doesn’t
make you feel any better, but it gives you a better perspective.
Don’t give up your hopes and dreams… Dream Big!

But have a backup plan in case the dream is taking too long.

UPS - (Unlimited Parking Summons’)

October 22nd, 2007

The Upper East Side of New York City in the borough of Manhattan
is where I have been delivering packages for UPS for the last 5 years.

I drive down beautiful 5th Avenue by Central Park.
It’s a very wealthy area (some residents are paying as much as
$30,000/month to live). I deliver packages to many of the rich and famous
including Woody Allen, Michael J Fox, Paul Newman, Katie Couric
and many others, including the Mayor himself… Mike Bloomberg..

Manhattan is a small island with 8 million residents and it seems like
just as many cars. There is literally no place to legally park so I have to
double park. I quickly run into the building, deliver the package
and get back to the truck before I get a parking ticket.

My job is to deliver our premium early morning packages.
Generally there are just a couple packages per building and the doorman signs
for the packages so I’m usually not double parked for more than a minute or two.

It’s in and out of the building quick as a ninja, and back to the truck.
I’ve been on the same route for the last 5 years. Usually, I didn’t get many parking
tickets, maybe one or two per month. Sometimes I might go as long as two months
without a single parking ticket. And I never got tickets when I worked on a Saturday.

But about 2 years age, that began to change. Instead of one or two parking tickets
per month, I started getting one or two per week. Over the last year that has now
escalated to one or two tickets per day.

And instead of Never getting tickets on Saturday, I get a ticket EVERY Saturday.
Same route, same streets, same time - The only variable is the amount of tickets.

Last Friday, I hit a new record high (or record low, depending on your point of view).
5 parking tickets in 1 hour. FIVE! …In One Hour! …Written by 5 different traffic cops.
(And at $115 bucks a pop, that ain’t cheap - $575 bucks in tickets in an hour).

Here’s what happened. I returned to my truck within 2 minutes of double parking it,
and there was a traffic enforcement agent, in the middle of writing my third parking
ticket for that day. I recognized the cop because he has written me many tickets
in the past and we chat every now and then.

When he saw me coming he said to me, “I love seeing UPS trucks. It’s an easy ticket
to write because you guys don’t argue with us and give us a hard time”.

I move on and continue delivering packages. About 10 minutes later, I come out of
a building and there is a female cop writing me ticket #4. I pick up the other 3 tickets,
show them to her and say to her, This is a new record, 4 tickets in less than an hour.

She apologetically says to me, I’m sorry. I didn’t know. You should have said something.
Or you should have at least put the tickets on the front of the truck so we could see them.
I said Thanks for the tip. I think I’ll try that.

So I go to the next stop, but this time I have the 4 tickets visibly displayed on the front
of the truck, tucked in by the windshield. I exit the building and to my suprise,
another traffic violations specialist is writing me ticket #5.

I guess he didn’t want anyone to see the inordinate amount of tickets I had,
so he picked up the other 4 tickets and folded them all together along with ticket #5,
so that it only looked like one ticket.

C’mon Mayor Bloomberg - Give UPS a break!

Tell your boss - “Take this Job and Shove it!”
Make MONEY using Web 2.0 traffic strategies…
