Never Give Up – Proof Attitude Defines Altitude

The best way to understand that you can do anything you set your mind to is to watch videos like this.  Here’s a guy who couldn’t walk.  Out of shape, over weight and told he’ll never walk again without assistance.  He decided he was going to do something about it.  And he did.

This is a video called “Never, Ever Give Up.  Arthur’s Inspirational Transformation!”.  It has gone viral and for good reason.  Any time you think you can’t, you should watch this.

 

Here’s the thing, there are countless others out there with handicapps, misfortune, hurdles, road blocks.  Some are real, some are in our own minds.  Whatever the obstacle, it can be overcome.

I don’t care if you don’t even have arms and legs.  Go Google Nick Vujicic.

There’s never an excuse.  Unless your dead, there’s just no excuse.

Your altitude is defined by your attitude.  If you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right.

So get up, be inspired and go get things done!

Some Halloween Fun And FLV Hell

I recorded this video on Saturday night. That was the night before Halloween here in the US.

Friends of mine run a haunted maze here in CT each year. I always lend them a hand and do security for them. All that means is I get to dress in black, walk the maze and scare the boogers out of people.

It’s pretty darn fun. I put a little behind the scenes video footage together for you, complete with a scream reel.

The last few minutes you won’t be able to see anything because it was pitch black but you can hear the fun.

Because I was dresses completely in black, literally head to toe, no one could see me until I was right on top of them. It was pretty funny some of the responses.

Now if you’re a regular reader of this blog you know I recommend Blip.Tv to convert your video into Flash FLV for free. Well, they’ve gone and gotten rid of that feature. So now I am embedding the Blip.Tv video directly, (since I uploaded it there anyway). Complete with their ads and all.

So I’ll keep you posted on whether I find an FLV conversion process that’s free, easy and works right.

Chilean Miners Become Instant Celebrities

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few months, you know all about the Chilean miners ordeal and their dramatic rescue yesterday.  The media coverage of this has been amazing.  And yesterday’s dramatic rescue made for great TV.

When the miners arrived top side, they did so as instant celebrities.  They were showered with gifts, given all expense paid vacations, invited to dignitary dinners in their honor and the book, movie and TV deals are already in the works.

Everyone in the world wanted to and still want to know who these men were, what the ordeal was like and what’s next for them.  One day your trapped in a mine the next day your an international superstar.

Celebrity rules.  Pure and simple.  

Anyone who can harness the power of celebrity will enjoy great wealth and success… if they do it right.

If you are in the business of marketing, you should be working over time to build your own celebrity.  There are no two ways about it.

Take two identical people.  They look exactly alike.  They sell the exact same thing.  Their marketing looks exactly the same.

If one of those people was busy working like normal while the other was trapped in the Chilean mine, guess who’s selling more stuff today?  A LOT more stuff.

This is not to say you should go get yourself trapped in a mine.  But you should be working on your celebrity.

And there are all shapes, sizes and flavors of celebrity.  There’s local celebrities too.  You don’t need to be the next international superstar to make it work for you. 

Go get started today.  Write for your blog, write articles, host calls and webinars.  A great way is to carry around a Flip Video camera and just film yourself.  Talk about what you know.  Teach, entertain and engage people.

You have to keep at it and be prolific.  You’d be amazed at what you can accomplish with just a little effort. 

Go ahead and start getting your name out there right now by commenting on this blog post.

Sorry, Your TubeMogul Video Syndication Account Has Been Shut Down

This is the message that a friend of mine just recieved today.  For someone who syndicates video for his business almost every single day, this interuption is a calamity.

The reason, he was told, is because he is a business.  Businesses must have a paid account.  Here’s the cool part… The cost starts at $50 per month and goes to $1,500 per month.  Say What?!?!

What exactly do you get for $1,500 per month.  Especially with all the bells and whistles you get from Traffic Geyser for only $97 a month.  That’s a tough pill to swallow.

I have been recommending TubeMogul as a free alternative to my clients.  However, I cannot recommend them anymore.  If I find something free that will fill this void, I’ll let you know.  Until then I continue to recommend Traffic Geyser.  If you purchase it through this link, email me your receipt and I’ll send you some free goodies that will help with your video syndication projects.

I’ve been a user of Traffic Geyser for years and love them.  Here’s a cool video below I did with Mike Keonigs last year.  Enjoy.
