How Did You Get Started on E-Commerce? Mike’s Blog 094 Back at the Amazon FBA Canton Fair meetup in Guangzhou - always a good chance to connect with people. The coolest part was I bumped into quite a few people who listen to my podcast and watch the video blogs. So sweet of a feeling. check out this video blog and more http://mikesblog.com

Recovering From An Amazing Cross Border Summit The pressure is on for April 2018 https://www.globalfromasia.com/crossbordersummit2018/ - the team at Cross Border Summit really upped the game in 2017 with our second annual Cross Border Summit in Shenzhen, China from April 21-22, 2017. I have never pushed myself so hard as I did - especially day 1! We had multiple rooms running at the same time, multiple panels, 35 plus speakers, food, after parties, and just so much more! check out this video blog and more http://mikesblog.com

As the Cross Border Summit event is fast approaching (actually post-editing it was last Friday!) I’m getting super busy - and of course many people are just hearing about it for the first time. I am a creator, more than a sales person. Many of my friends have identified my strength as a marketer - someone who can build awareness - mainly through content. This is why I enjoy online marketing and online business - because it is all done online. But when an event is fast approaching, this creates more “offline, and real interactions”. This is definitely a weakness of mine, as people want to bargain and ask for specials. I wish I could give everyone everything in life. Free houses, free cars, free trips around the world. Free food, and no need to work for the rest of their life! Letting it all out there. check out this video blog and more http://mikesblog.com

Celebrating Easter Sunday in China, Mike's blog 091 And the last part of course is missing my family - my parents, my sister, my aunts and uncles and all the chocolate easter bunnies after Easter Sunday Mass. Those are memories I have cherished in my mind and appreciate on the regular. check out this video blog and more http://mikesblog.com

How do you stay energized throughout the day? Today's video blog I was so tired to even record it - but then it sparked the idea to go around and ask people how they keep high energy levels consistently throughout the day. Coffee? Sleep? Mindset? Supplements? Natural? Music? Seemed a wide range of ideas and concepts. Also I was able to attend the Brinc event with the Founder of Pebble - Eric Migicovsky - very cool! Caught him on the video blog - and had my original Pebble watch on me to show off as well - cool! I'll get some rest this weekend, I hope. Oh ya, it is Easter weekend - almost forgot! No holiday here in China and got a ton of work to do for the Cross Border Summit next week - April 21-22 !!!

https://mikesblog.com/2010/05/the-man-in-the-arena.html One of my favorite poems and blog posts here - The Man in the Arena. by Teddy Roosevelt. Let me read it out loud to you. So it is that - to not be a critic of what others are doing. Be the gladiator in the arena. Instead of saying “wow, Mike could do a better job, why is the quality of his work so under par?” - take that energy and that focus on critiquing others and use that for your own personal development and growth. As I said in the previous video - push your limits. See how far you can get, and you’ll be amazed at what you can accomplish. On the negative side of this poem, I think it makes someone like me a bit too aggressive. I make it feel like it is a fight in an arena. I like the competitive spirit, and competition is what pushes us forward, but at the same time we need to have an abundance mindset. There is enough resources for everyone - so what we should take from this poem is: MAKE IT HAPPEN FOR YOURSELF. check out this video blog and more http://mikesblog.com
