In my most recent visit to my homeland of Hawaii and knowing that it was a short one, I wanted to make sure I ate at all of my favorite restaurants. See one of the best things about Hawaii is it’s food. Not only Hawaiian food but various types of other foods that have come as a result of various cultures integrated over time. Because of this (in my opinion) Hawaii has the best food you can find anywhere in the world. The following are the top 8 places to eat in Honolulu, Hawaii. 1. Ono Hawaiian Foods Yelp Listing  4 words. Delicious, Authentic Hawaiian Food. If you are craving real Hawaiian food than you’ve gotta check out Ono’s. The combination plate is normally what I order. 2. Sam Choy’s Yelp Listing I love this place. They have a great variety in their menu so you really can’t go wrong with this restaurant. I [...]

I’m often asked by people what specific things I focus on to help me achieve success in my online endeavors.

Chances are you probably feel the same way I do. Which is why I chose to write this post.

Working at a “corporate” type job is blasphemy to an Entrepreneur. But I must say from personal experience that there are huge advantages to working for a corporate company, even as an Entrepreneur. There are both life and professional lessons to be learned in the process. Over the past 2 years I have had the privilege of working for a fantastic company 1on1 Marketing. One of the best experiences of my life! After having just recently left the company to move on to other opportunities I wanted to share with you some important lessons I learned there that have changed who I am forever. 1. Solving Problems Is Really About Solving People Problems I know, I know. You’ve probably already read this in a little book called Switch. Maybe I stole a chapter from that book for this blog post. But it’s true. My corporate job taught me through experience that “what [...]

Okay so I know this is random for this blog, but I felt it was needed. While Internet Marketing has done so much for me in my life financially and professionally, there is much in my personal life that I feel it has prevented me from. Think about yourself for a moment here. What have you missed out on over the years? Some call this a “bucket list.” I just think of it as a list of things I HAVE TO ACHIEVE in the next few years or I am seriously failing! I think of a bucket list as “things you do before you die!” That’s not quite what i’m talking about here. The things I have listed are things that are a little more reasonable, but I have somehow just not managed to do them. So you’re probably wondering… what does Internet Marketing have to do with things I [...]
