Day 1 A New Beginning
Welcome to Kadlak.com. Its Day one and I want to introduce myself and tell you what I’m going to be doing here right in front of you, mistakes and all. lol.
My names Milton Kadler a.k.a Kadlak and my goal is to build a site from the ground up and finally give up my day-job. As of today (Thursday 15th Oct 2020) I still have to get up most mornings and go to work. Im grateful for the fact that I run my own painting business so it gives me more freedom than working for the man, but its still a long way to where I want to be. Financial freedom is something I’ve dreamt of since I can remember. I don’t even know when it started but Im guessing it had something to do with the fact that I had a weird obsession with the Monster Mag “Famous Monsters of Filmland”.
Growing up in the late 60’s early 70’s reading Famous Monsters, there was the NEED to buy those back issues that drew me in so I had to start making some money to support this obsession. I can remember as a seven year old knocking on doors and asking whoever came to the door “you wouldn’t have any soft drink bottles you don’t want?” Back then you’d get like one cent for every bottle you returned and if they didn’t have any then I’d ask if they had any odd jobs. I did plenty of dishwashing then lol, mowed lawns, weeded gardens, ran stalls selling bric a brac and lemonade stands outside our house in Mt Eden all for the love of Monster Mags. So I was an early bird in the entrepreneurial world. That continued into paper runs/rag bags, then I went thru a buy n sell spate. Everything from comics to super 8 movies. Until that fateful day in 1979 and I got my first “real” job painting houses during the school holidays which eventually led to my career for the last 40 years.
You cant do something for that long and NOT want a change. Unless your lucky enough to be doing what you absolutely love which is increasingly rare. I was looking for a way out. A new direction. I didn’t want to be climbing up ladders for the rest of my days, altho I’m not afraid of hard work, I wanted a life.
I never really thought about online work until about 2007 when I decided to put a search for “making money online” when suddenly a whole new world opened up to me. I was looking at sites that wrote about how to make money online, working at home and all these opportunities started presenting themselves. It was then that I said to myself, “I’m going to make money online” and that has been my goal. But as fate would have it I struggled for years to get any results. I had a number of sites over the years that never even rarely broke even and I lost a TON of money investing in countless “courses” and “programs” and a truck-load of software I had no idea how to use. I pretty much gave up.
Then I discovered TE’s and my first thought was “what if I owned a Traffic Exchange?” I ended up running a few of these and each one was making various amounts of cash, it seemed like wow. I actually have a few “Membership” sites that people were willing to give me money for every month. OK it wasn’t life changing but pulling in an extra $3-400 a month at the time seemed pretty cool.
But I kept seeing stories of people making Thousand$ every day, and here was me barely making $10 a day. I wanted to be in the big leagues and painting was fast becoming tedious, hard and just taking up so much of my time. Despite all this eventually I had to say to myself “$10 a day doing this or $3-400 a day painting”. You can guess what happened right. I ended up selling my Traffic Exchanges and decided that painting was the way. I decided there was no way I was good enough to match up to the likes of Yanik Silver or Marlon Sanders so guess what. I gave up and went back to painting.
But it didn’t take long and the lure of internet riches drew me back in and this time I jumped from biz opp too biz opp. I started doing some affiliate marketing selling other peoples products via clickbank but the same things kept happening. The time it was taking was taking it’s toll on me. Sleepless nights quickly turned into sleeping all night and my part-time online business quickly became a full time nightmare. I couldn’t focus and concentrate long enough so much so that I lost the “drive” too push myself. I could probably write an entire book on my ups and downs but I want to keep it brief. Basically I just Didn’t put the Time in Necessary for Success.
So now its time to take charge. With Covid-19 my day job has actually been a blessing. For once in my life I actually have time. So the time has come where I can say “damn it Janet… its now or never”. So today I pledge to START building my Online Business.
This first day will be all about de-cluttering. What do I mean ? Getting rid of all un-necessary dribble. The stuff that distracts you. Anything else I have online right now I will have too ignore. I will only engage in trying to get this business up and running. So, every possible minute I can squeeze out of my day and devote to this I will. Unsubscribe from un-necessary emails, turn the TV off, clear the mac of junk and keep a clean workspace.
I want things to run smoothly. So I’m going to have to put a bit of work into my body as well. Healthy body, healthy mind. One thing I will want to have finished today is a daily plan. Unlike a lot of entrepreneurs Im not one for missing out on sleep. I did that for too long and I know the bad effects it can have both mentally and physically. Do this for long enough and you could be up for a part as a zombie in “The Walking Dead” without any makeup. Yes the body can only take so much so I try and stay refreshed. Sleep. Its really important and your “brain” needs to be awake to perform.
So my daily plan will look something like this;
Under this regimen I am dedicating 3 hours to building my site every day. Now come weekends or days where I don’t have too work my plan will look something like this;
Each day has too have a “Strong” online presence if I want this too succeed. I believe the main reason affiliate marketers and similar don’t succeed is simply because they failed to put in the time, the effort and the work needed to be successful at ANYTHING you want. So lets take one day at a time and just figure it out, just do it.
Day One… Declutter and make Daily Plan. Register my domain name (kadlak.com) and go live, get a Facebook Page setup that works in conjunction with this site and write this blog. Okay its 11.30pm here in New Zealand so I think Its time to end the night and return in the morning to my new life, a new beginning.
Tomorrow we will start to figure out exactly what our plan of attack for total domination will be.
Na zdraví
