The Most Patriotic Thing You Can Do – Bust Your Ass And Get Rich
Mark Cuban on why you should "Bust your ass and get rich"
Best blog post I’ve read in a long time written by Mark Cuban.
One thing as an entrepreneur that really irks me is people who think that money and having lots of money is evil and greedy.
In fact, its as far opposite of that as it can be.
To me (and Mark backs this is way better than I could say it), its actually greedy and evil to not work your hardest to share as much value as you can to others, to not build a business that employs people – makes a TON of money – invests that money back into the community – pays a TON in taxes (and so on).
Yes, the pursuit of money as the end goal and hoarding that money for yourself at the expense of others is evil and greedy.
But, what if you have a business idea inside of you that would truly…
- … change peoples lives
- … make people laugh
- … inspire people
- … help people have better lives
- … help people live longer
- … help more people be educated
- … help people live more comfortable lives
- … help more people be rich themselves
Why would you hold that back and not bust your ass and get as rich as you can building business that does that for other people? Then, doing good with that money and in turn helping even more people???
READ Mark Cubans article… awesome stuff
Now, get your idea out there… help a ton of people… get rich as heck… and help a ton more people.

How To Get Started Making Money On The Internet – How I’d Do It If I Had To Restart
Getting Started Earning a Real Income Online - Here's your push!
A couple weeks back I got an email from a kid starting out who had some great questions about what he can do to get started making money on the internet… and since I was in his spot at one time too… I sat down for a while and really thought out what I’d do if I had to start all over again. What would I do to make money on the internet if I was starting from scratch tomorrow?
Well… here’s the email I sent back to him… I’ve pasted it in below. I’m not saying this is the only path… or even the best. It’s based on my own experiences of what worked for me and what was the easiest when starting with nothing… no connections… no money… no technical experience… nada.
So, if you’re wondering how to get started making money online… or even better… how to grow a REAL business online… and need some ideas to get ya going… enjoy
- Trevor
PS – I’d love your comments and questions. Ha, I know its a long ass article… but, it came from the heart and I hope the kid got something out of it (he hasn’t emailed back, lol… so I’m assuming he realized its a bit too much work for him to truly be successful 
.
Alrighty… here ya go…
============= START OF MY EMAIL TO J*** ================
Hey J***, hope you had a great weekend man!
Thanks for the email. Sorry about the delay.
First off, how’d you come across me? I’m always curious… good to know where people come from
Alrighty man, when I was 20 (I just turned 29 now) I was in my 2nd year in college… didn’t even know what internet marketing was, hadn’t taken action in real estate investing yet (I ended up buying my first apartment building the next year)…
… basically I was in the “learning” phase and while I’m glad I went to college because I had fun and met some of my best friends… in all reality it probably set me back a few years business wise.
So, you’re ahead of the game man as far as the fact you’re already at least thinking about starting a business and finding ways to make money online.
Now, I know that doesn’t do ya any good or even prob make you feel better… but here ya go…
Why I skydived from 18,000ft when I hate heights
Okay, I’m not fond of heights.
I’m the guy who doesn’t really like to get on my roof to hang up the Christmas lights.
But, last Saturday I jumped out of an airplane at 18,000 feet (a normal skydive is from 13,500 feet)… and LOVED every second of it
I’ll write a more detailed post and post the video of the skydive here soon… but I wanted to post a quick pic here now and thank everyone who donated and helped us raise over $100,000 for Opportunity International.
Basically, I jumped out of an airplane to take a risk and to show my commitemnt to entrepreneurship along with 26 other entrepreneurs (guys and gals from just starting out to CEO’s of public companies) and what it can do to bring people and communities out of poverty.
So, what risks have you taken recently? If you haven’t taken any… get your ass in gear and work that “risk muscle” a bit this month
Keep your eye out for a more in-depth post next week w/ the video… its pretty damn awesome
Have a great weekend! And if you love entrepreneurship and want to help us create new entrepreneurs in Tanzania head on over to the page I just set up that explains it… and being blunt… asks you to whip your wallet out and help push forward the cause.

So, subscribe to my email list to the right with that cheesy opt in box that I haven’t had time to have my web guy pretty up ———–>>>>>
Starting from scratch…
You know those days when something terrible happens but in the end it starts to be kinda a good thing?
Well…. that happened this week.
Here’s the story…
On Monday I was fiddling around in my FTP client (which I should leave up to my web guys)… and somehow deleted the entire directory that my personal blog is in.
Yep, sucks. More…
