Life is a journey and right now I'm loving the journey I'm on. It's hard to believe that 5 years ago today I started a little blog called OnlyOneMike. Looking back, the name is a little pompous haha. But, I guess it worked for ... http://www.onlyonemike.com/blog/2011/07/04/july-4th-2011-5-years-later/ Well, here we are again. An amazing 4 years have passed since my whole life changed and I went from being a broke college dropout to making money on the internet. It's sort of weird in a way because right now, as I write this, it seems like a LOT longer ... http://www.onlyonemike.com/blog/2010/07/04/july-10th-2010-4-years-later/ This year is a lot more low key than years past. I read what I was up to last year and the year before. Both times I was in Daytona Beach with my friends. This year, I'm doing my annual July 4th update from my Aunt Carolyn's house. My brother ... http://www.onlyonemike.com/blog/2009/07/04/july-4th-2009-3-years-later-i-cant-believe-it/ I don't really write anything for this blog anymore. I actually turned it off for quite a few months before I decided to turn it back on. I figured it couldn't hurt to let people read all my "old" stuff and see where I came from. It's amazing to me ... http://www.onlyonemike.com/blog/2008/07/04/july-4th-2008-2-years-later/ This last weekend I made a major stride in my own personal development. I spoke at the Idea To Income Workshop in Daytona Beach, FL. I also made my debut as a partner with Lisa Diane. We also unveiled our newest secret software which is sure to take the industry ... http://www.onlyonemike.com/blog/2007/11/01/idea-to-income-conference-a-huge-success/ Many people think the best way to explode their business is to think "outside the box". While this is a great idea, I think there is a better way. Thinking outside the box has now become a cliche statement, but when it first arrived on the scene it was a ... http://www.onlyonemike.com/blog/2007/09/28/expanding-the-box/ So today I made an attempt to get in to the google plex in Mountain View, California. They wouldn't let us in, though. :-( Turns out that even though you may pay them thousands per month (sometimes in the high 5 figures) you have to have an employee from the inside take you ... http://www.onlyonemike.com/blog/2007/09/19/today-i-tried-to-visit-the-google-plex-in-mountainview-california/ The first thing I want to say about Nichenomics is I don't like the name at all. I see what Dustin Bow was going for, but the name just doesn't make sense. I always prefer a product name that I can pronounce...call me old fashioned or whatever. Secondly, I have to ... http://www.onlyonemike.com/blog/2007/08/22/nichenomics-product-review/ OK - It's Saturday and I'm "roughing" it in a little, small, tiny, miniscule, puny town in Alabama. Did I mention the town I'm in isn't very big? Anyway, I'm here for a family reunion - don't laugh. Some of us have to be lucky enough to have some roots ... http://www.onlyonemike.com/blog/2007/08/18/when-family-members-attack-interviews-gone-wild/ I was in Atlanta a few months ago bumping elbows with some of the premier marketers online. Everything was going fine, until a young man named Eric came up to me and started talking. At first, I couldn't believe the guy, he was walking around with a small entourage, who I later ... http://www.onlyonemike.com/blog/2007/08/14/affiliate-rock-star-status/
