Any entrepreneur’s goal is to no longer work for someone else, and to move forward with our own business ideas.任何企業家的目標是不再工作，為他人，並向前邁進，與我們自己的經營理念。 When you work for someone else, you are exchanging time for dollars.當您的工作，為別人，你是交換時間為美元。 Most of us aren’t fortunate enough to 100% completely work for ourselves, which is a sad deal.我們大多數人不有幸到100 ％的工作，完全為自己，這是一個可悲的處理。 Our children grow so fast, and yet most of us are gone from the home from 7am until around 6pm, five days a week… giving time to your employer in exchange for a paycheck.我們的孩子成長那麼快，但我們大多數人經歷了從家庭，從上午七時至下午六時左右，每週5天…讓時間去你的雇主在換取一個薪資。 This is a cycle that we need to break free from. How do we get out of this cycle? We ask ourselves better questions.這是一個週期，我們需要擺脫。 我們如何擺脫這種循環？我們撫心自問，更好的問題。

I first got online in 1996 at the University of Kansas Computer Center.我第一次得到在線在1996年在堪薩斯大學計算機中心。 Within one week I had built a website to promote my then stand-up comedy aspirations.一個星期內我曾建立了一個網站，以促進我當時的立場，喜劇的願望。 I needed some promotion, so how can I make this happen?我需要一些推廣，所以我如何才能使這種情況呢？ Wow, a website!哇，一個網站！ So, I dabbled in all the development programs.因此，我涉足了在所有的發展計劃。

A friend and I decided to create an artist development portal called一朋友和我決定建立一個藝術家的發展，所謂的門戶網站 MethodLab.com methodlab.com , it was a solid idea, but we never quite made it over the hump. ，這是一個堅實的想法，但是我們從來沒有相當使得超過駝峰。 The exoskeleton of the site remains at methodLaboratories.com, my business partner in that venture was a long time friend.該外骨骼的網站仍然在methodlaboratories.com ，我的生意夥伴在這方面的風險是一個漫長時間的朋友。 Sometimes business with a friend is not the best idea.有時生意的朋友是不是最好的主意。 In this case, it didnt work out optimally.在這種情況下， didn't工作最佳。 However, through it all, I met an amazing programmer online who began helping us with some back-end code on MethodLab.然而，透過這一切，我會見了一個了不起的程序員在線的人開始幫助我們與一些後端代碼對methodlab 。

The business faltered, so what is next? 商業動搖，因此，什麼是下一步？ What should we work on now? 我們應該怎樣工作，現在呢？ What makes the most sense? 更令最有意義呢？ What business idea is the right on? 什麼的經營理念是正確的呢？

Well, we co-founded a Web Development firm, MediaThinkLab LLC., with the online friend of mine from North Little Rock, Arkansas.那麼，我們的合作，創辦了一家網絡開發公司， mediathinklab LLC公司，與網上的朋友，礦山從北阿肯色州小石城。 This guy is a programming guru that I met online playing an online game, called這個傢伙是編程大師，我會見了在線玩在線遊戲，所謂的 Pimpwar pimpwar . 。 Yes, it is what it sounds like.是的，這是什麼，它聽起來就像。 This was several years ago.這是數年前。 Heh.港燈。 Time flies.時光荏苒。 My friend, PiMpALize was his screen name and I became fast friends because this guys wits’ were keen, hilarious, and one of the smartest programmers and smartest asses, that I had ever encountered.我的朋友， pimpalize是他的屏幕名稱和我成了朋友，快速，因為這傢伙束手無策，均渴望，搞笑，而其中一個最聰明的程序員和最聰明的資產，我曾經遇到的。 We meshed well, plus I always gravitate to people who know more than me in areas that I know nothing about.我們嚙合良好，再加上我總是gravitate到的人都知道一些比我更有資格的地區，我一無所知。 Sort of the Henry Ford approach to life.排序的亨利福特辦法的生活。 He ridicules me nonstop however, about the blogs that I put out and the positive messages that I try to share.他嘲笑我的直航不過，關於博客，我提出的和積極的訊息，我嘗試的份額。 Heh.港燈。 But, I just notch that up as, well, he is from Arkansas.但是，我只是認為，一流的作為，那麼，他是來自阿肯色州的。 He is an advanced master programmer, and a great guy to know, regardless of his ridiculousness.他是一個先進的主程序員，和一個偉大的傢伙都知道，無論他的ridiculousness 。

We have done a lot of work together… funny thing though, we have still never met face to face.我們已做了大量工作，一起…有趣的事，雖然，我們還有從未見過的面對面。 Worked on many, many sites and scripts and other madness, yet never sat face to face.工作在許多，許多網站和腳本和其他瘋狂，但從來沒有坐在面對面。 We send each checks for our portion of the webproject and keep it simple.我們向每個檢查我們的部分的webproject和保持簡單。 Extra money from the extra projects that we took on.額外的錢從額外的項目，我們採取了對。 This has yet to become a full-time income.這還沒有成為一個全職的收入。

So, I began to work at Kinko’sa few years back, as a Night Time Supervisor/Digital Specialist at one of the busiest Kinko’s in all the land, in the heart of Overland Park, near the World Headquarters for Sprint/Nextel and a major corporate client neighborhood.所以，我開始工作kinko'sa幾年前，作為一個晚上的時間監/數位專家在其中一個最繁忙的金考的在所有的土地，在心臟的Overland Park ，附近的世界總部，為Sprint / Nextel公司一個主要的企業客戶端居委會。 Needless to say, I was a busy man.不用說，我是一個大忙人。 However, I learned many tricks of the trade in the print world.不過，我學到了很多伎倆業內人士在打印世界。

What would make the most sense after this position? 什麼可以讓最感後，這一立場？ What should I do? 我應該怎麼辦？ What type of gig should I get that my talents will be most utilized and appreciated? 什麼類型的演出，我應該得到我的人才將是最利用和讚賞呢？

I moved from Kinko’s, to a Print Production Manager of a Commericial print house for awhile and from that position moved on to a Print Production Specialist position with Konica Minolta.我提出的從金考的，到打印的生產部經理的商業打印內務片刻，並從這一立場轉移到打印生產專家的立場與柯尼卡美能達。 This opportunity was as a support position to help the sales staff close high end print production equipment.這個機會是作為一個支持的立場，以幫助銷售人員密切高端打印的生產設備。 Good experience and great people to work for and with.好的經驗和偉大的人民，工作和與。 I would go into companies, and help them streamline their printing processes and help persaude them into a new ‘Print Engine’, sic Copy machine.我想進入公司，並幫助他們精簡其印刷過程和幫助persaude使他們成為新的'打印引擎' ，碳化矽，複印機。 After hawking Copiers for awhile, it was time to move on, no matter how glorious the title!後擺賣複印機片刻，這是時間的動議，不管如何的光榮稱號！

So what would be a good position for me to move into? 那麼，將是一個很好的位置，我搬進？ One that would best utilize my talents? 一會善用我的人才？ What makes the most sense to help move me along my career objectives? 什麼使最有意義的動議，以幫助我沿著我的職業生涯目標是什麼？

I get an email from the Training Manager of a local computer training institute asking if I would be interested in a Technical Trainer position training people on Web Development, Print Production and Graphic Design.我得到一個電子郵件從培訓經理本地計算機培訓學院要求，如果我將有興趣在一個技術教練崗位培訓的人對網絡的發展，打印的生產和平面設計。 Well, since one of my career objectives is to be a public speaker, this seemed like a logical maneuver.那麼，既然之一，在我職業生涯的目標是成為一個公眾議長，這似乎像一個合乎邏輯的演習。 Asking the right questions to your subconscious paid off.提出正確的問題到您的潛意識見成效。 I got a great position… it just CAME to me.我得到一個偉大的立場… …它只是來找我。 And today was my first day of training!今天是我第一天的訓練！ I taught Adobe Acrobat Professional 7, Level one.我教的Adobe Acrobat 7專業，水平1 。 It was a great experience.它是一個偉大的經驗。 The next time I teach, is Wednesday, then I have 2 weeks off, with no classes to teach, yet I still get my salary.下次我當時任教，是週三的話，我有2週小康，沒有班，教導，但我仍然讓我的薪水。 It’s quite a gig.它的不少演出。 In fact, two people messaged me about helping them build a website and asked how much I would charge for that service.事實上，在兩個人messaged我約，幫助他們建立一個網站，並詢問有多少我要收費的服務。 So things do work out.因此，事情的工作。

My latest example of asking your subconscious to find an answer for me, was this… since I set up CultivateGreatness.com as a personal development blog, I have been experimenting with different ads and affiliate programs to bring in some extra money.我的最新例子，要求您的潛意識尋找答案對我來說，這是…因為我成立cultivategreatness.com作為個人發展的博客，我一直在試驗不同的廣告和聯屬計劃，使在一些額外的錢。 Moving into a house recently, it makes sense to get something going and offer valuable services on my sites, that have good messages, and great deals for the person who clicks on the ad.遷入一所房子最近，它使意識得到的東西去和提供寶貴的服務，對我的網站，即有良好的訊息，和偉大的交易人對廣告的點擊。

So, I asked myself, what types of things should I put on my site?所以，我問自己， 什麼類型的東西，我應該對我的網站？ What is gonna yield the highest dividends? 什麼是哪裡收益率最高的紅利？ How can I help other people make money also? 我如何能幫助其他人賺錢呢？ Where are the best place to put my ads? Thus, you see the experiments that we have done so far. 那裡是最好的地方，把我的廣告？因此，你看到的實驗，我們迄今所做的。

Check this out, since October 1st, I have earned over $150 on Google Adwords on my site.請在此指出，自10月1日，我已賺了150元在Google AdWords在我的網站上。 Also, I have an affiliate membership through另外，我有一個聯盟成員通過 CommissionJunction commissionjunction . 。 This site is amazing.這個站點是驚人。 I have earned over $360 so far this month on people clicking the Credit Repair Links, the Home Mortgage Refinancing Links, and a couple other programs.我已賺了360元，至今在這個月就人點擊信用修復鏈接，房屋抵押貸款再融資環節，一對夫婦和其他程序。 For instance, every time that someone clicks the舉例來說，每一次有人點擊 Getsmart.com getsmart.com
link and does refinancing for a home loan, this pays out $45 per lead.鏈接和是否再融資申請住房貸款，這支付45美元每帶頭作用。 The lead doesnt even have to fill out their Social Security Number.帶頭的doesn't ，甚至有以填補他們的社會安全號碼。 The LendingTree該lendingtree Mortgage Refinance按揭再融資 Loan貸款
ad, pays $55 per lead.廣告，自付55元每帶頭作用。 Apparently顯然 Getsmart.com getsmart.com
is a part of是的一部分， LendingTree lendingtree
, so you are in good hands!的，所以您是在良好的手中！

So, I started thinking, on October 2nd.所以，我開始思考，對10月2日。 Wow.哇。 $45-$55 a lead. 45元-5 5元起帶頭作用。 Mortgage Refinancing.按揭再融資。 Whoa.哎呀。 Ok, I went to確定，我去了 Overture.com Search Inventory and Click Bid tool overture.com搜索清單，並點擊出價工具 , which tells me how many searches were placed on Yahoo the previous month of August for the term Refiance Mortgage… 970,000ish on yahoo, according to this. ，這告訴我，多少次搜索被放置在雅虎前一個月的8月為中期refiance按揭… 970000ish對雅虎，根據這一點。 Well, Yahoo gets about 25% of the global searches… with Google getting about 45%, so I estimate at least 2 million searches for Home Mortgage Refinancing.那麼，雅虎大約25 ％的全球搜尋…與Google獲得約45 ％ ，所以我估計至少有200萬搜查住宅按揭再融資。

How can I capitalize on this market? 我如何能利用這個市場？ What would be the best approach to getting people to utilize my affiliate links? 什麼會是最好的辦法讓人們利用我的聯屬鏈接？

Then I honed in on creating a new domain name for a new website specializing in Mortgage Refinancing.然後我磨練，在創造一個新的域名為一種新的網站，專門從事按揭貸款再融資。 This makes the most sense, because if I have information pertainent to my visitors, perhaps they click the links, and take the 2 minutes to fill out the form, getting valuable information about refinancing their home loan.這使得最有意義，因為如果我有信息pertainent我的遊客，也許他們點擊鏈接，並採取了2分鐘，以填寫表格，獲得寶貴的資料，再融資約其居所貸款。 I actually USED其實，我用 Getsmart.com getsmart.com to get my home mortgage refinancing, so I’m confident in their service, so I promote.讓我的住房抵押再融資，所以我很有信心在他們的服務，所以我推動。 But how?但如何？

What is the best domain name? 什麼是最好的域名？ What is best brand identity for the business? 什麼是最好的品牌標識為做生意呢？ What will be the absolute best idea? 會是怎樣的絕對最好的主意呢？ One that will make other people who have looked into this business, and shake their heads wishing they had thought of it… what is the Best possible idea solution to this? 一這將使其他的人已研究過這項業務，並搖搖頭希望他們的思想，這… …什麼是最好的思想，要解決這個？

So, I ponder many domain names over the last 3 weeks.所以，我思考很多域名在過去三週。 I wanted something catchy.我想要的東西引人注目。 So many were taken, it was ridiculous.因此，許多人採取的，這是荒謬的。 I started to narrow them down based on what was available,我開始以縮小他們的基礎上是什麼，

1. get-mortgage.us讓- mortgage.us
2. mortgagelend.info
3. mymortgageloan.us
4. loanlend.net

And etc. etc. etc. then on Saturday, i looked up www.cheapmortgages.info… it was Available… so was lowmortgages.info… whoa!等等等等，然後在週六，我翻查www.cheapmortgages.info …這是可用…所以是lowmortgages.info …哎呀！ so was www.refinancemortgage.info!因此，被www.refinancemortgage.info ！ I bought all three.我買的所有3 。 Then I thought, hrmm… I know that i have searched refinancemortgage.info before… so I checked Ebay.info… available.然後我以為， hrmm …我知道我已搜查refinancemortgage.info前…所以我檢查ebay.info … 。 Hrmm. hrmm 。 Google.info… available. google.info … 。 Microsoft.info… available! microsoft.info … ！ Obviously, something was messed with the .info domain extension.很明顯，一些被搞砸與。資訊網域延伸。 So, I got hosed and didnt get any of those domains.所以，我得到清洗和didn't得到任何這些領域。

I started thinking… Hrmm. What would be a better domain than even Refinancemortgage.info?我開始思考… hrmm 。 什麼會是一個更好的網域，甚至比refinancemortgage.info ？ There has to be some idea that someone hasn’t thought of pertaining to mortgages, right? 必須有一些想法，有人已沒有想到的有關抵押貸款，對不對？ What is it? Ding! 它是什麼？ 丁！

Ladies and Gentlemen… drumroll, please!女士們，先生們… drumroll ，請！ www.RefinanceMortgageInc.com www.refinancemortgageinc.com & ＆ www.RefinanceMortgageLLC.com www.refinancemortgagellc.com booyah! booyah ！ Wow.哇。 A better than planned idea came my way.更比原計劃的想法來到我的方式。 Instead of having just a website, Ill get a legitimate business, and call it Refinance Mortgage Inc. and have people all over America calling me, and Ill refer them to my affiliates, at $45 a pop.而不只是一個網站，病患者獲得合法經營，並呼籲它再融資的按揭公司，並已人們都超過美國的要求，我和虐待他們轉介到我的分支機構，在45美元彈出。

Ask a better question… ask the RIGHT kind of question… and your brain will respond with ideas even better than you thought possible.想問一個更好的問題…提出正確的種問題… …和你的大腦會作出回應，出主意，甚至優於你認為有可能。

Since Saturday night, a temporary website has been put up, I created a logo and the idea is brewing and with forward momentum.自週六夜，一個臨時網站，已提出，我創建了一個標識和想法正在醞釀和前進的動力。

Great ideas are spawned by asking the right type of questions. 偉大的想法是促成所要求的權利類型的問題。 Remember that. 記得。 Success in life is also equal to your quality of questions. So let your subconscious stew on that for awhile. 成功的在生活中也是平等到您的質量問題。因此，讓您的潛意識的大雜燴上，對於一段時間。

Much love-很多愛
