Ideas, ideas... 2 weeks ago

keep coming to me. I really should have a place to jot them down.

This has never been a pressing goal but more something I felt I could work on at my leisure. I have been thinking about organizing my ideas more concretely, drawing up a format and what I would like in the issues. This is a fun project for me, and I should start working on it a little bit at a time. I had written things down in the past, but now the ideas mostly play out in my head. Many ideas inspire me but I don’t feel I can proceed with them until this becomes more serious.

Boring



Woohooo! I did it! 2 months ago

Well, I did not write much here but…I did it. I created my first magazine, and not only that, I even written novels.

The magazine was about giving people in our community a voice because there were so many organisations, and business agencies but personally, many weren’t getting help they needed.

No one was speaking out. Plus, there was a lot going on in our community, and no one was celebrating. So I got to work, creating the magazine that talking about community achievements, what’s going down, who is ripping who off, and yeah, it was a little political too.

I interviewed people, write the newspaper and made it like a magazine because I felt it be great as a magazine. Went even further, covering stories in details that other newspaper’s wouldn’t and even interviewed the people who had major negative experiences from the system.

First my real name is Adam Taha. You can find me at betternetworker.com

From my experience, I will say this, which has helped me greatly..

1. You first need a desire. It has to be burning. I met along the way many who wanted to do their own magazine and did nothing. They let life distraction.

2. Then you need a plan.

In regards to the magazines, books I’ve written and a whole heap of things I’ve achieved so far – you need to know who your audience group is and if it is profitable.

Have a clear picture of everything, write it down, make it into a business plan and not just to get a loan. I didn’t get a loan but used my creativity and learnt business skills, network marketing to make money to fund what I do.

I also created video tutorials to help people. My nickname on youtube is offthehook..

It has video tutorials on designs, plus book keeping, and video tutorials on video making. I learnt all these to market what I am doing but to help people to along the way, who needed such skills.

Here’s my link to articles to help because I know sometimes we can easily be distracted, and not create and do what we want to do for our own dreams..

Finally, I even created a website documenting my journey. It’s still not finished and I will change it more now, directing it to teaching business and marketing skills.

If ever you want some experience advice, just drop me a line. Visit the links, find me, and ask. It’s been an amazing journey, made so many friends, met so many people from diverse professions, interviewed people from all over the world.

So glad I went for it and well, I am now focusing on my business and network marketing but…still using my creative skills, business skills, design skills to create materials on ‘how to’ that helps people.

What would you do if money wasn't an issue? 7 months ago

If someone had asked me this question or something similar, I’m not sure I could clearly think of an answer. But I have realized that more recently, one of the things I can think of is the magazine idea. It is something that right now has no deadline and that I see as a longer-term, ongoing project, but I have had various article ideas come to mind over time that I wish I could work on. It is just something I feel inspired and excited about, and I think it is a combination of it being creative, of exploring different topics of interest or importance. I like the idea of traveling to a place and writing about it or a situation there, or interviewing one or many people and writing about them. At this point it is one of the few things I could think of doing if I had nothing limiting me, and maybe I need to be paying closer attention to it for that reason.

I’m not sure when this idea of creating a magazine came to mind, but it has been a while, probably a good two years or so at least.
Maybe one day I could focus on this more attentively.
