Perseverance and the Princess Bride

Hey Folks Happy Monday!  It was a crasy weekend so I just have a short thought and a short video for you.

This is all about perseverance.  The ability to keep going in the face of great adversity.  The ability to keep blogging and building your business despite the demands of life, or your family, or anything else that gets thrown in your way.

This clip  is from what is probably my favorite movie ever (even though I had to give up a top 10 favorite movie list years ago.  Too many good movies on it), The Princess Bride.  This movie has been around since 1987.  If you haven’t seen it, shame on you.  Go rent it.  Get it on Netflix.  But check it out, it is really good, and PG so the kiddies can watch too!

To set up the scene, Inigio Montoya has been searching for the 6 fingered man who killed his father for over 20 years.  He has been totally obsessed with finding this guy and challenging him to a duel for his fathers honor.  He finally finds said 6 fingered man and the next scene follows:

So take this into your life and your blogging, Stay the Course.  Even if it takes you over 20 years to reach your goals, you can achieve them.

Even when the odds are against you and everyone is trying to cheat and stab you in the gut when you come around the corner, find that place inside you that holds your drive and your purpose.  Find it and tear it open.

Stick with whatever it is you are doing until you meet your goals.  You will succeed.  Man I sound like Nate Hangen today.  That is a good thing!

Go enjoy the day.

Another Review: This time Blogger Beats!

Hey Folks!  Today I bring you another review, this one is not an affiliate link yet!

If you are not listening to Blogger Beats, you should be.  Twice every week, Nathan Hangen (you have heard of him right?) and Oleg Mokhov bring you a great mix of music and inspiring messages to help get your workday started.  Or something like that.

Basically, Nathan comes in at the first with something to think about.  How to make your blog a business, or your business a success.  Then you have 25 minutes or so of some great music from Oleg.  This is not super beat heavy dance club music and it definitely does not put you to sleep.   I am not a big fan of most electronic music but this is good stuff.

I gets in your head in a way that really lets you concentrate on your writing and not what is playing in the background.  I have been listening and writing at the same time for a while now, and most of the time I don’t notice the time flying by.  I have a bunch written when Nathan comes on again at the end to sum up his earlier question.

I have been digging the beats since the launch of the site, and I am hooked.  Recently, they have released music only mixes that are sans-Nathan but with all of the good music.  I put a bunch of those in a playlist the other day and wrote almost 2000 words before I noticed that I had been writing that long!

The details:  Head over to http://bloggerbeats.com and sign up.  You get a week free and then it is $9 per month for 2 episodes per week.  For a dollar and some change, per episode you get some great tunes and motivation that just may kick your business in the rear end.  Give up a Red Bull per week and you pay for it.  And then some.

Go get in on the beats, I am really digging them. And they are not paying me to say this.  Yet.

See you tomorrow and don’t forget about fiction Saturday’s!  New podcast coming Thursday…
