Man I have got to stoke my own fire and practice what I preach. I have been caught up in school and have had no time to dedicate to my projects. Well as I sat at my desk trying to find something to do with my last few minutes of my day I realized I have been severely neglecting my art!! this post does not have a lot of meat to it but, hopefully like it did me it will re stoke your fire!!!!!!
Take time to do what it is you love!!

Sorry I haven’t been able to blog anything lately. I have been traveling for work. I have been helping the town of Pine Grove PA. clean up after 2 floods. I am helping rebuild the computer infrastructure of the plant.
Uncertainty…. This is something we all deal with. I think the uncertainty of what will happen in the future is what drives us all especially me. Anytime we try to make a change we face uncertainty. If we try to think out of the box creatively we face uncertainty. I think that trying to eliminate uncertainty from our lives and waiting for the moment that we are certain. You will end up doing nothing!!
Fears of being judged keeps us from living the life we could live. I say give up that fear…more easily said than done!! I still have trouble with this while trying to start a business which I am now going to refer to as a movement!!
I am really wanting to make a difference in the world. I am hoping once Rewimbi kicks off I can take some of the proceeds and put the money to good use. I am going to try and sponsor kids who can’t afford surfboards etc. I want to help kids enjoy the beach and suit them up with boards, wetsuits, pay their surf school entry fees etc. I want to give to other orginaztions that are trying to clean up the oceans and trying to get clean drinking water to people in need. Yeah Yeah i know what you are thinking… pipe dreams! The uncertainty is what drives me! I am very uncertain on exactly how I am going to accomplish these goals.
BUT THEY WILL HAPPEN!! THAT I AM CERTAIN OF!!
You have to lose the learned helplessness of the world. There is opportunity out there! You just have to make it happen.
Doing nothing will get you nothing!!
My wife and I talked one of our friends into putting some of her crochet caps she makes on etsy. She also makes other killer stuff!! Like dragon scarves..
Well she put a pumpkin hat on etsy and she is already getting orders for them!!
Folks all you have to do is try something different!!
Don’t let uncertainty hold you back!!
Well I haven’t been able to do a lot with Rewimbi this week. I am back in PA. Helping again. It was quite an adventure so far. Got to our hotel after 10 hrs. Of driving and the hotel said our conformation was in the system but, not in the system. Whatever that means….. So our company travel agent called and got us another room 20 miles back the other way. Well the town started flooding again because it was raining like crazy!! So we were stuck for a couple hours until the water went down enough to drive through. Then that morning our hotel did t have water. Go figure…. Then last night my toliet over flowed in the middle if the night in my hotel room! Anyway it has been kinda fun in a sick way.
All in all I am glad I can help the people of his town. They rely on this plant!!
So I broke down and started a twitter account for my upcycle company
@rewimbi follow us!!
Check out this killer video about buying locally!! Also some sick surfing!
Optimistic is a word with power. I try to stay optimistic but, at times I am very pessimistic. It’s something that we all battle with on a daily basis. I know everyone says you have to have a good outlook on things but, in every successful turn-around I’ve seen an optimistic attitude was at it’s core.
This is an approach that will help you break free of the negative attitudes and ruts you run into each day. Remind yourself constantly that you are truly blessed.
I am not saying just think positive and it will make your dreams come true but, I am convinced that a constant negative, entitled attitude will drag you down and keep you trapped.
Sit down and write out what you know you are blessed with and use those things to get through the times when people are telling you that what you are trying to do will never work. They are trapped in the vicious cycle of thought that there is no way out of the rat race.
Well there is a way out and you are making it happen by reading this and telling yourself that what ever you are working will work and is gonna work. Your attitude has everything to do with success. If you are happy and positive people will notice!! They will want to know why you are so happy when a lot of people they come into contact with are not.
An example of my attitude rubbing off onto someone is: This guy at my office who has been hearing me talk about my upcycle company said he was excited to talk to me because he had been wanting to get back into building websites and selling them. Well today he told me he has bought several domain names and is getting back into the game! I haven’t really talked to this guy much but, my attitude and optimism about my company and books etc. lit a fire in him. I know this sounds lame but, hey this dude is stoked and so am I!
I know these posts are all over the place still but, I just wanted to send out a quick note to the world and keep peoples fires lit!!
Oh my business card proofs come in tomorrow!
I am finally back in NC!! Last week was a hard week. his will probably be a short post again. I am so behind. Good news on the book front! My friend only has 3 more sections to add to her book and she is finished. I am going to use her book as a step by step tutorial on here. So you can see exactly how we do it. I am getting pictures made soon for the cover of my other book. It is an office pranks book. Hopefully if you are reading this you are just as excited as I am to continue getting your businesses going!! I am a week behind but, not a problem.
This week I challenge you all to pick up trash. Yes trash! You can make a difference by picking up trash other people fail to put into trash cans and recycle bins. I live by the ocean so I try to pick up as much as I can during the day. Because I know it will be in the ocean sooner than later. Or make something out of the trash you find. I have a whole bunch of drink caps, I make small potted plants out of them. Little desk herbs and such. They look awesome!!
Sorry for the late and super short post. I am helping with disaster clean up in PA.
I have however talked to my graphic designer and she is designing my business cards!! I choose this route because I wanted a super creative business card. There are sites that offer free business cards or ultra discounted ones. They have basic design templates. I have gotten those before and they are just fine.
If you are starting your own thing you must have a card to pass out. Just google free business cards etc. I am typing this on my phone or I would have a link for you guys to click.
Get out there and spread the word about your business or book!!
Believe in what you have created and people will to!
Hopefully I will be home soon!!!!
