One of the biggest problems with working on the Internet is the fact that you are sat on your backside for at least 8 hours per day, which can quickly lead to becoming very unhealthy (among other issues).
Today I am going to talk about how technology is making us unhealthy, and how I intend to combat this… with…. more technology.
I started working online fulltime approx 4 years ago, and since creating a home office 12 months ago, my daily exercise has become almost non-existent. I also bought a car 5 months ago, and that has made matters even worse.
Fortunately I have a very high metabolism, so there is little chance of me becoming overweight, but there are still signs that I am not as healthy as I once was.
Of course, all fitness freaks will just tell me to go and run for 30 mins per day, and yes, that would help, but let’s be realistic, it ain’t gonna happen!
I am now starting to use technology to help me get more healthy again.

Create your own character and track your fitness levels, weigth and BMI.

Making fitness fun?

Using technology to get fit?
I only purchased this recently, and it is not a cheap option. With the Nintendo Wii, the game and the Wii Fitness Board it cost over $400
We only got this very recently, and thus far I haven’t had time to use it much, but both myself and my girlfriend have really enjoyed it, and as I write this I am aching from head to to. The Wii also comes with many sports games, which are a lot of fun as well.
Last year we purchased an exercise stepping machine/bike, the idea being that we could go for a run during winter without leaving the house. To get through the boredom of this, you can simply install a TV near the machine. We personally just use an ipod touch and listen to music.

I personally got bored of this, but Elena uses it almost daily. I believe that having a TV close by may help, I like the idea of going for a 90 minute run during a football game.
I do have some healthy hobbies, for example, I play golf, and I even like the occasional stroll, but like many of today’s generation, I also like to play video games and watch TV.
So here is an option… instead of fighting your passions and trying to go on a TV and video game diet, why not use technology to incorporate exercise into them?
For example, if you purchase something like this:

You could in theory play your video games and watch TV whilst exercising at the same time.
In fact, if you were watching a good TV show, you could easily do 30 mins exercice without once becoming bored, which for me, is the main issue with exercise.
Entrepreneurs are rarely lazy. I used to be a pro athelete, so laziness is not an issue at all, it is the boredom that is my issue. Entrepreneurs can often require a lot of stimuless to prevent boredom, so by incorporating exercise into my enjoyable hobbies, I may eleminate that.
I appreciate that many youngsters who are reading this may not have the funds to spend $600+ in exercise equipment, or $400 on a video console, or $350 on an ipod etc… but these are alternate options that are cheaper.
Like the title of this article says: ‘Exercise is Boring - Let’s Use Technology’. Check back in one month and I will post the results.

Even young entrepreneurs may need to look for a job at some point in their lives, the job hunting process can be scary and frustrating, so today I have listed 7 key things you should NOT do if you want to find a good job with ease.

1 - Worry About Failure
Even the best entrepreneurs experience failure. In fact, the best entrepreneurs see failure as a positive, something from which we can learn. However, if you want to get a crappy job, then simply let that first failure affect you. Give up when you experience failure, and under no circumstances adapt a never say die attitude.
Don’t give up, treat it as a long term project, and keep your chin up.
2 - Don’t Create a System
If you want to find a job, then you will need some form of system to manage yourself and your job hunting process properly. Perhaps aim to apply to one job per day, store all contact details in a seperate file, follow-up 72 hours after each interview request etc…
If you wander aimlessly from one opportunity to the next, you will soon get distracted and confused.
3 - Be Unrealistic About Your Value
If you are 18, I don’t care how good you think you are, there is a good chance that you still have a LOT to learn, and that learning process is going to be costly for your employer. So yes, by all means value yourself highly, but also be realistic, if you think you are a 7 figure earner by 18 or 19, then you are only going to cause delusions.
4 - Expect The Job Finding Process to be Quick and Easy
So many youngsters think that they will stroll into a good job in 24 hours. The truth of the matter is that it can take weeks, months and occasionally even years to find a job. So prepare a three month plan, execute it, and be patient.
5 - Underestimate Face-to-face Interviews
It doesn’t matter what it says on your CV, if the employer meets you and thinks you are a complete fool, you will not be hired. Anyone can lie on their CV, but a face-to-face meeting reveals the truth. Aim to secure actual interviews as often as possible, avoid phone interviews, and prepare yourself be answering test questions.
6 - Expect to Need Top Qualifications
There are certain jobs where certain qualifications are vital. But many employers now know that experience will almost always beat qualifications. Remember, you can read about driving a car for 10 years, but as soon as you get in the car, you will stall the engine the first time. So don’t go into the process with the attitude that only the most qualified candidates will get hired.
7 - Focus on yourself
Every good sales person and copywriter knows that the worst mistake you can make is to focus on yourself. If you go into an interview and only talk about yourself, you will not be fired. Focus on what you can do for the company, tell them how you can be of benefit, how you can improve sales, etc…
Ok, so now you have all the techniques to ensure you never get a job. But don’t worry, you are an entrepreneur, so hopefully you will never need a proper job anyway ![]()

Hi there. Do you fancy meeting for a chat and a beer with author of this blog (Dean Hunt) & my superstar, highly successful business partner Barry Dunlop? If so, SIGNUP HERE
“No?“
How rude!
Well what if I told you that world famous business superstar Eban Pagen would be there?
“Perhaps..”
Ok, well what if the biggest name in Marketing: Yanik Silver was going to be there?
“Yes, count me in!“
I thought so. But unfortunately, this fantasy scenario is not possible. I mean, how on earth am I expected to arrange that?
It is Impossible!!!
Well, to be honest, such events do happen, but they are always done behind closed doors, they are invite only for the elite entrepreneurs, hugely expensive, and closely guarded.
In fact, both myself and the superstar biz partner (Barry Dunlop) have been part of a group called ‘Yanik Silver’s Millionaire Mastermind Group’ for some time. But this is an elite group and it is done behind closed doors. No cameras, no video allowed, the waiting list is longer than the great wall of China, and all members have to sign a non-disclosure agreement.
In such an environment it only leads to one thing: The rich get richer, the successful get more successful, and the big names get even bigger.
It reminds me of Hollywood: Once an actor becomes rich and famous, people start giving them stuff for free. But when they are a struggling actor, they get treated like trash.
It is crazy! David Beckham gets given cars all the time, yet he earns over $1 million every single week, why on earth does he need to be given stuff for free?
Well the same thing happens in the world of business: the biggest names all connect with each other, and they share their best techniques ONLY with other big name gurus.
But what about the other 99.999999% of website and business owners?
They are left fending for the scraps of good information that are often hidden under the piles of utter crap that this industry can spew out on a regular basis.
No wonder such a high percentage of web business owners LOSE money on a monthly basis.
Yanik Silver spotted this problem a few years ago, and he created a public event called: ‘Yanik Silver’s Underground Seminar’. It is essentially an event where the experts share their best secrets, and it is the only major event of its type that is not sealed off from the none-gurus.
Yanik asked us earlier in the year to do a public event with him, we declined. But persistence has paid off, and for the first, and perhaps the last time ever, we have agreed to share the tips and secrets of how we have become the most successful buzz marketers on the planet, and how we get literally millions of unique visitors to our sites for FREE.
:
We will be presenting our ‘From LAME to FAME in 11 Buzz-tastic Steps‘ presentation LIVE at the ‘Yanik Silver’s Underground Seminar 4′ from March 28th to March 3oth.
This really is the ONLY opportunity where you can learn from myself, Barry, Yanik, Eban Pagen and more…
That’s right, the impossible fantasy scenario I discussed earlier, has just become a reality.
Check out a tiny sample of who will be there (please do not share this information):



Oh, and check out these two mystery expert speakers:

Mr X number 1 is clearly a young guy… I wonder who that could be?!?

Mr X number two is a little older… but let’s look at a further clue that is taken from the Underground Website:
Many of my Underground® events have featured a “Mr. X”… Someone SO Underground that they simply refuse to allow their identity to be made public. And the same thing is going to happen for Underground® 4.
But this time, there will be two major changes. First, instead of having only ONE Mr. X… there’ll be two. Actually, they’re business partners, which means: You’re gonna get double value for you money.
We can exclusively announce that Dean Hunt and Barry Dunlop are going to be speaking at this event. Are we Mr X 1 & 2? Well, we will be speaking at the event as guest-expert speakers, but to be honest, there may be more than two mystery speakers, we would be shot if we revealed the details.
So I will ask you the question one final time: Do you fancy meeting for a chat and a beer later in March with myself (Dean Hunt) & my superstar business partner Barry Dunlop?
The offer is suddenly a lot more tempting isn’t it?!?
If you want to see the biggest names in the industry reveal their secrets and techniques, then simply signup here: Underground Seminar Signup and book your place. As expected, there are not many seats left. So please, please be quick.
See you there, and don’t forget about the beer.
Dean Hunt & Barry Dunlop

Let’s face it. In our society, if a child decides they want to be ‘rich’, people will look at them a bit strange. A lot of people don’t think being rich is an admirable goal.
When we are growing up, we constantly hear people say things like “money doesn’t buy happiness.” Statements like that just make no sense to me. So being poor makes you happy?
I grew up with a different mindset. From reading books, I learnt that to be rich you had to help as many people as possible. To acquire great wealth, you had to be generous.
By creating a business you are solving people’s problems.
By investing in real estate you are giving people housing.
Being rich doesn’t shape a person. A person that is rich and greedy will be poor and greedy as well. If you’re poor and unhappy, you will be unhappy when you’re rich.
The moral of the story is not to let other people’s beliefs shape your own. It’s your life, do what you want with it.
