Poker is a game I love to play, especially online poker. The reason why is because I can do multiple things online such as play multiple tables or surf the web and talk on IM while playing. I can also play it in the comforts of my own home. Brick and Mortar (real live play) is regarded as “more fun,” but to me, it’s more dull.

Live play is much slower, you get fewer hands and it’s more frustrating when you know you can’t just leave the table for another one that would be better because not that many people play live at a single time. This isn’t the case in online poker, where you can connect with people all over the world. There was a time when online poker was at it’s golden age and everyone seemed to be doing very well in it.

The problem with poker was that regardless of how you got, it’s hard to scale. You only make money for the time you spend playing poker and it can be frustrating when you lose consistently regardless of making the correct play or not. This is a reality for professional poker players and a real turn-off when it comes to doing it for a living. There was a time before that if someone asked me what I wanted to do for a living, it would be playing online poker.

This, in addition to the increasingly difficult restrictions on depositing made playing poker really undesirable.

The reason why you want to do affiliate marketing is because you are able to scale it, you are able to make money without having to be there to make money. All you need to do is create the system, monitor and tweak it.

Both Poker and Affiliate Marketing give you the ability to make more money as you get better and better at it.

“In 1944, Lt. Hiroo Onoda was sent by the Japanese army to the remote Philippine island of Lubang. His mission was to conduct guerrilla warfare during World War II. Unfortunately, he was never officially told the war had ended; so for 29 years, Onoda continued to live in the jungle, ready for when his country would again need his services and information. Eating coconuts and bananas and deftly evading searching parties he believed were enemy scouts, Onoda hid in the jungle until he finally emerged from the dark recesses of the island on March 19, 1972.”

This story is amazing in that someone was able to survive in an island, so far away from home for twenty-nine years. The shock comes in that someone who had been fighting for so long because of orders, had been doing so for nothing for so many years. It would suck to lose so much of your life doing absolutely nothing.

My brother told me he had read that the some of the most successful people (CEOs and the like) get up before 7:00 in the morning. They get more things done this way, and I certainly believe that they would. A few hours to a CEO is a lot, especially when you have a jam packed schedule every day, to the point where you have to have someone else plan it has to mean that you have a lot of stuff to do. When you have a lot of stuff to do, minutes count.

Waking up for me in the past has been immensely difficult o do because I am rather well… lazy. I just don’t like to get up in the morning. I wake up, hit my alarm clock, and go back to sleep. I like waking up whenever I feel like waking up. It’s one of life’s treasures to me. However, this is the most optimal way to be — and so something needs to change.

My goal is to wake up at 7:30 am every day. I’m going to do so by setting my alarm clock on my phone and just “soldiering” it.

That is, getting up without snoozing because a soldier wouldn’t. Or else they’d die. Or something.

I read Steve Pavlina’s How To become an Early Riser, which says to go to sleep when you’re tired, and wake up at a set time every day so your body is “set” to do so.

This is a good challenge for me — a step along the way in my pursuit of perfection.
