Walking The Dogs
By Alan | October 29, 2008
I shot a video of my favorite morning routine which is taking my two dogs on a walk. After watching the video I debated whether I should post it since it’s pretty personal. You can even see my house and my neigborhood. But I figured it might be good for motivation since I do talk about the Internet marketing lifestyle during my walk. No I don’t own a Ferrari or anything like that but this video shows one of the reasons I keep pushing at this business. Freedom.
When I worked for coporate America I would have to be to work by 9:00 AM and I had a 30-60 minute commute depending on traffic. I’m not a morning person so I wouldn’t take my dog on morining walks. And I was usually lifeless by the time I got home at night to do anything. Now I walk my new dogs twice a day. That’s what I talk about in the video. It’s the little things like these walks that keep me pushing. Even when I have bad days and I feel like saying forget this. Working a corporate job is a lot easier than this financially. Plus it doesn’t carry the stigma that Internet marketing carries. You know–friends and family think your nuts.

Your dogs are cute! Good for you for deciding to post this video. It’s often a struggle to decide how much privacy/openness we should have on the net but I personally feel a lot more of a real connection when people are pretty open!

Thanks Laurie! I agree with you that I’ve also made better connections with people who are more open about themselves. Thanks for your comment.
