successIf you were a true fan and reader of my blog I guess I’m the last person you thought you will hear from again. I’ve been loong gone for about two months but no worries it was all good. I had a bunch of offline success and with that I had an online success and now I can’t see it stopping.

Around November last year I got an job offer from a big company that want me aboard to help them out with some IT projects. I was really flattered and happily said yes to the job mostly beacuse it ment change in my life. I got a nice paycheck but I had to move to a new town and kind of start over again socially. After 6 months I must say I’m happy with the change and so glad that I moved.

This again got me motivated to work more with my standup comedy hobby that I had. I got 4 great gigs in a short period and made even more money from that and connections that will take me out to other stages and towns. That’s so  motivating so I continue to write more and it seems like new funny things comes to me more easy now.

After living in the new town for 2 months I was tired of walking to and from work everyday in windy and rainy weather so I decided to ask the bank for a car. I have done this before but my new current sittuation brought a smile on the bank and an even bigger smile on me. I could finaly buy my first car, a Mini Cooper S filled with fun and joy. Now I feel freedom to do what ever I want, go wherever I want.  Infact, when writing this blogpost I am visiting a friend for the easter holidays, driving all the way and I felt so good about it. My own car!!

I’ve also started to work out. I’m not the type of guy that you will find in the gym but I want to stay active and I want to get challanged so I started out climbing and boulder (when you climb walls with no rope). The walls are divided into problems that you need to solve. How can you get from the bottom to the top only using a few marked stones? Well three times a week I’m working out and solving problems at the same time. And I see results and it feels so good.

There is tons of other things I could mention from my offline success in life like joining the company’s soccer team and winning matches 7-0, helping out friends and meeting even new friends but let’s talk about my online success.

Two friends of mine, Ole and Marius, wanted to make a marketing system only for the Norwegian market. I got together with them and we did a lot of research and found out that there where no such thing in Norway at the moment. We will be the first if we did it now. So we did.. Marius got on the copywriting, wrote a 100 page product book and a free report. Ole worked on the server side and support part and I put together the funnel and the marketing system so that it would work for the Norwegian market. And we where ready to start.

In the first 2 weeks I used $150 in Google adwords for marketing and I also did a lot of other marketing that I have learned from my coach Alex Jefferys,  it brought me over 100 leads and an $400 profit. More will probably come within the next week. I was amazed.

I’m floating on a cloud of success and today I’m taking my friends out for a Champage party. And for you that are reading this but couldn’t come to my Champagne party I will again update my blog every now and then to help you guys get success.

All you need is to change and one small success. Beacuse with success comes more success.
