I’ve been away FAR too long, in an actual LIVING NIGHTMARE, but YES now I’m BACK!  (Brace yourself for where I’ve been, why I went, and my ANGER over the whole thing!)

Have you ever been, or are you currently, at a job that you just can’t stomach?  Yeah, I was recently there too.

Back in October I got a call from a neighbor who told me that he needed some help with a project that he was working on, and he asked me if I would be interested in making a little cash by helping him with this project.  He told me that the job would last a couple of weeks.  The project finally ended this year on January 15th… because I had enough.

I had to carpool about one hour each way to get to the job site.  I had to work for a supervisor, not my neighbor, that kept pulling me off of incomplete projects, so that I could start and not complete more projects.  Awesome! (I mean that with as much sarcasm injected into the word as possible)

That’s NOT the worst of it.  This “supervisor” had a breakdown at some point, and started watching pornography online while sitting in the hotel room with everyone standing there.  Oh, I forgot to mention that the people running

My friend Huddson Lee from Dean Holland’s, Starting With Marketing Academy tagged me to come up with the following list. I have to admit that it was tougher than I thought to come up with 25 things, but I finally did it. Thank you Huddson for picking me as one of the people to do this, sorry it took me so long, but here it goes.

#1.  I was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico on February 12th, 1968.  Lincoln’s Birthday; that explains my brilliance and modesty.

#2.  Like Dean Holland, I’m an only child.  Always wanted siblings, but never happened.  It’s funny, but usually people with brothers and sisters wish they were the only child.  For Dean and I it’s the other way around.  We wanted siblings.  Go figure.

#3.  I cannot stand rude people!  My mom always taught me to say, “Please and Thank You”.  My momma raised me right.  Thanks mom.  See, I “thanked” her.

#4.  I worked retail security for several years and have arrested several violent shoplifters.  One of them stabbed me twice in the arm, bit me 4 times and slashed my hands when I tried to arrest him.  He got 15 years in prison because it was his third strike.  I considered him rude.

Way rude!

Camtasia is a screen recorder software used to make professional looking videos. I love watching videos created with Camtasia Studio. When I first found out what this program was that everyone was using, I told myself that I had to have it. Unfortunately, Camtasia was out of my price range at around $300. But fear not, Ed Rubi and Dean Holland’s Starting With Marketing clan is watching out for you.

The current version of TechSmith’s, Camtasia Studio is version 6. The version that I used to create the video below was Camtasia Studio 5. It has everything that I need and I’m looking forward to making many more videos in the future. The cost? $59.95 plus a $3.95 transaction fee. That’s a savings of $236.09 over the current version of Camtasia Studio. WOW!

Furthermore, it took me about 10 minutes to learn to use Camtasia thanks to a video that I found on YouTube. Just do a search on YouTube for, “How to use Camtasia Studio 5″, and it will be the first result.

Well, we all like to save money, so there you have it. I hope this helps you, and I look forward to seeing your upcoming professional looking Camtasia Studio videos.

All the best,

Ed

If you’re like me you have been searching for a way to be successful online. Who do you trust? You’ve probably purchased countless ebooks and programs that claimed that they would teach you how to make money using the internet, only to find that you were making them rich by buying their program.

Well, as I mentioned in my first post, I now have a mentor to teach me how to be successful online. His name is Dean Holland and I would like to share some of the things that I have observed about Dean as a person.

When we had our first “one hour” conference call you could

Hi everyone.  Thank you so much for visiting our blog.

Perhaps you noticed that the title of our first blog starts with “OUR”.

No, this is not a typo.  I am typing this blog somewhat early in the day, but I have already finished my third cup of coffee, so I am wide awake.

The reason that I typed, “OUR” in the title is for the simple fact that I want to include you in my journey.

What journey?  I’m glad you asked.
