RIP Randy Pausch- Doing it Before Death

If you live in a cave, you may not know that Randy Pausch recently passed away. Dr. Pausch and his Last Lecture "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams" became internet famous and then "real world famous" when he appeared on Oprah and other media. It was a great story from a man who lived a remarkable life and knew it was coming to an end.

Sometimes we really don't have a choice about what we should do now. Well, I mean we always have a choice, but we aren't promised tomorrow. If you knew you had only a few months to live, could you say you lived a fulfilling life? Don't wait until it's too late, live it while you can.

Procrastination: Enemy of DIFNA!

Today we're going to feature an observation of sorts, of one of the biggest enemies of the Do It Fucking Now Attitude, Procrastination. By definition, it is the exact opposite of DIFNA, being it's all about putting shit off, waiting a few extra days on shit, or just not doing shit at all. Lets say you have a problem that requires money to solve, what would we do here at DIFNA.com? We'd get strategies together, think, go through scenarios, and see how to handle shit, then DO IT. If you need money, you have 2 choices: sit on your ass, and wonder how bad things will be when the problem hits, complain about it, and keep on wasting fucking time, or put an idea in action, and make an effort to fix shit. Even worse, there are people who do step 1, they identify their problem, they think up ideas that will solve things and bring in the money needed, but then they DON'T put them into action! What a waste! There are even people who get ideas from others on how to fix shit, they agree the ideas are good, but then continue sitting around waiting, WTF! This is a widespread problem in making money, that doesn't only apply to solving problems, but also fulfilling shit you want to do. You want to take a vacation, you want to get a bigger house, you want financial security, yet it's all talk, not one is putting the DIFNA into action, procrastination left and right. Might be time to slap yourself around a bit, take a look at the situation, and say why the fuck am I waiting?! I emphasized money problems as the main point here, because people who have a financial problem that needs solving within a time frame are the ones that make the least sense to me. How can you sit around hoping something falls in your lap, chancing that it won't happen, and you'll end up screwed. Granted, some people may run out of options, but if that's the case, the person should be able to at least know that they gave it their all, and did everything possible to help their situation. Other people, as I said, need to slap their dumb asses around, and smell the fuckin roses, opportunity is their in your lap, time to take that shit, take control, and make shit happen. Don't come crying to us when shit's even worse, because you didn't put forth a damn bit of effort, and now your in an even deeper hole, and a shittier situation. For everyone who still has the time to fix their situations, join the DIFNA Army now, become bad asses like us, and control your own damn life, before you let something or someone fuck it up for you!

Uber Affiliate Shit Post Reminds me of John Chow

So yeah, I read some of the "making money" blogs from time to time. It's not really my thing. I blog occassionally, but I make money from product sites.

I "kinda" do affiliate marketing, though what I do is a lot different than the typical PPC to Landing page methods. I tend to like the blogs that are more into coding, different programming tips,seo,affiliate marketing- real shit. In other words, not John Chow "I make Money from Writing Blogs about shit I ate and having fanboys fawn over my lameass making money non-methods."

One of the better blogs lately is UberAffiliate. Let me make it real clear. I think the guy is genuine and I believe his claims. He has done really well for himself and he takes the time to make some decent posts.

But frankly, a lot of his "tips" are no more advanced than a million other blogs out there. This isn't his fault. And NO, I dont expect him to share all the shit that makes him money. But when this dude makes a post, he gets dozens of comments from .idiots who just can't believe he would give away such knowledge for free. What The Fuck?


You guys wanna make money online?

Um ok.
1. Make a Site
2. Sell something ( yeah here's a free tip- you might need to do some research and actual work)
3. Drive Traffic
4. There you go. Make Millions.

Its not this guy's fault. I like his site. But I have found 99% of the audience for any of these blogs are people who have no clue and will never make any money in anything. Why? They don't know how to think. They don't know how to research, plan,etc. And if they get that far they are too lazy to take any fucking action.

And this is why people like John Chow can make $20,000 a month writing about shit that offers no real value for anyone.

People like Uberaffiliate and Shoemoney and all those other people are out there making money because they want to and they put forth the effort. But don't think you are gonna find some jewel in their blogs. You have to go out and do the shit for yourself.

Chow vs. Shoe Money aka The "Battle" of the Rich Assholes!

Well any of you that read either JohnChow.com or ShoeMoney.com know that for the last few weeks, they've been having a "competition" to see which one of them could get the most subscribers to their blog in a certain amount of time. Hmm, well for those of you who are NOT familiar with these sites, both of these guys are rich, SUPER rich, so rich they could live comfortably for the rest of their lives if they stopped making money today. So basically this "Fun," "HaHa," "Teehee" competition their having, is basically just to see which one of them could get even richer....well actually both of them did. They both added a few thousand MORE subscribers to their blog, so I really don't see a loser here, although technically Shoemoney won their "competition." They bated people in by promising random prizes being given away to subscribers n such, yay. They get a few more million, while the piss poor folk get a prize if we're one of the LUCKY chosen. The above cartoon gives a pretty accurate depiction of all this, except they should have big giant bags of money to go with their bags of subscribers. Oh and they also brought up how a LOT of people didn't know about RSS, and their competition EDUCATED people about subscribing to blogs.....::cough:: BULLSHIT ::cough::.

Ya know, a cooler idea, would've been to share the wealth a little or give someone new a rub. Maybe they could've taken even a mid level blog, a blog that's showing promise and hard work but not a ton of success yet, and had this sort of competition with THEM. An Apollo Creed vs. Rocky Balboa story of sorts. Of course the bigger site would win the "competition"...but the up and coming site could've gained some recognition and subscribers, and maybe be elevated to the next level. They could've made headlines by running the competition every month, I can see it now: "Rich Asshole gives underdog a shot to make it to their level in online business." HAH, yeah right. 2 guys who are on the same level, just want to keep raking in more dollars for themselves, while trying to convince people they were teaching them something or offering them something great, we don't buy it! SO, basically if you ever want to get to the Rich Asshole level, you have to Do It Fucking Now and get you're own shit done, and work long ass hours to maybe contend with these guys one day, or at least make it to a comfortable level, without getting greedy and hitting total rich asshole level. And if we ever hit it big in the online business world, we'll be here letting our readers know the information they need to make it...."Here is what you need to do" "Here is the attitude you need to have" "Here are some tips on getting there"....not just "HAHA you sorry asses, bow to us, subscribe to our shit, and make us richer, and when you do, we'll ALLOW you to keep on reading our oh so glorious blogs! Screw that shit. Give the rich assholes a taste of the DIFNAttitude!

Reason of the Day to Do It F'n Now: Food!

So after a few days of being in the new Do It Fucking Now Attitude mindset, my heads been working overtime thinking up things to apply this attitude to. Basically there's a shitload of reasons to Do It Fucking Now. In this first edition, we're going to talk about FOOD. Food is good shit, can usually get a good upbeat mood going just by having some good food. Well, when you sit around and don't do shit, you earn nothing, hence you eat no good food, and that sucks. The good stuff costs, and if your business isn't doing shit, you'll be eating whatever you can AFFORD, not good stuff you WANT. Plenty of times I'm sitting around, or even out somewhere, and think "DAMN (insert food or restaurant name) would be GOOD tonight," or "I wish we could have some ("insert food once again") and throw a movie on tonight, that'd be awesome. WELL, sorry, but Ramen noodles and Tuna sandwiches are all that's on the menu tonight buddy, keep on wishing. I'd personally love to hit a restaurant like Red Lobster or TGI Fridays 2-3 times a week, or have the luxury to just be able to when I feel like it, but even that is not possible when you're broke. How about even ordering a got damn pizza on the weekend to liven things up, NOPE, you didn't DO IT FUCKING NOW and you can't have that either. On top of that, if your doing jack shit and having to live with family, your even MORE screwed, since when/if you have a little extra cash, sure you could hit the store and get the goods for a steak dinner....BUT when you're family is supplying the food you're eating a lot of the time, you can't just walk in with some good shit for yourself and not expect to share, they shared with you, so now its payback time....looks like a frozen pizza and another sandwich for you bitchboy! This basically can be applied to many things, and I'll go over them in the next few editions, but food is 1 thing that your going to miss out on and be stuck eating whatever is affordable if you don't bust ass and Do It Fucking Now!
