Spiritual Foundations

In the church world today, when people are presented with an opportunity it's common to hear them say, "I'm going to wait on the Lord till I get a sign from Him that this is the right thing to do."

This drives me nuts because God has given us eyes, ears, and a glorious brain to think with…we should be able to evaluate opportunities using the tools He has given us. So, I found some Scripture to back up my viewpoint, which is what you do when you're a Christian. Check this out:

Proverbs 10:5, "He who gathers in summer is a son who acts wisely, but he who sleeps in harvest is a son who acts shamefully."

Or how about Proverbs 14:23, "In all labor there is profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty."

We serve a God who doesn't have any problems making decisions. Let's follow His lead and strike when the opportunity is hot.

Tip of the Week

The tip this week is one of the coolest apps I've seen in a long time. If you ever watched the TV show Fringe you'll remember how they had those 3D titles that showed the name of the city floating on the screen. It looked really cool.

Now with Placer Cam you can create that same effect in your videos just using your phone. Getting perfectly tracked text in your videos has never been as fun, quick or easy. The best part is that there's no expensive editing software required, do it all on your mobile device!

Feature Presentation: "An Interview with Mark Mason"

My guest this week is Mark Mason, the host of the brilliant podcast Late Night Internet Marketing. There you can expect to hear practical internet marketing advice you can apply to your own internet business, great interviews with successful and interesting marketers, and tidbits of helpful information delivered in an easy-to-understand format.

In this episode I get to pepper Mark with questions we all want answers to, like:

  1. Is affiliate marketing still a real thing normal people can do?
  2. Why would one approach an internet business as a side hustle, instead of burning the ships?
  3. Day Job Secrets: Should You Tell Your Boss About Your Side Gig?
  4. Do you think all this vlogging, snapping, Vining, and Instagramming is a sign of rampant narcissim?
  5. Why don't you post a bunch of quote memes to show us how smart you are? How hard is it for the Average Joe to optimize a website?
  6. And finally, why a post about depression?
  7. Here are some snippets from our conversation:
