If you don’t own a domain name by now it’s probably time you register one for yourself. You can register your own domain names at www.PurchaseYour.com or really anywhere else on the Internet. I personally think owning a domain name is a must especially if you plan on doing business online. Domain names are simply “virtual real estate” which really make sense because Internet entrepreneur’s build businesses on these domain names.
Some people want to own a domain name simply to own one. A lot of my friends will try to buy their name .com .us .net or just .something so they can say they own their “name” on the Internet. That isn’t all together a bad idea, however, if you get creative and register some good domains you can actually make money from them. There is an entire industry built around buying, selling and trading domain names just like real estate. One of the websites that covers this industry best is DNJournal.com which lists a weekly report of domain names sold. Beware! What you see might just blow your mind. When you see that some domains have sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars and many domains have sold for thousands of dollars. It is in fact mind boggling.
Just a short lesson today on thoughts running through my head. If you have a creative idea or you are just looking to break into doing business on the Internet my suggestion would be start off by just owning a domain name and getting a feel for the industry as whole. It’s easy to do, fun and can actually turn out to be profitable for those that find a “gem” of a domain name.
Get your own domain name now… simply GO HERE

First and foremost I want to thank every single one of you for the inspiring comments and emails you have sent my way. I consider myself extremely lucky to have each and every one of you purchase my book and let me share my knowledge and insight with you. This past weekend I was in Phoenix, Az and had the opportunity to speak at one of Mark Victor Hansen’s events. If you don’t know who he is, which I am sure you do, but he wrote the Chicken Soup book series. This man is absolutely incredible! He has sold over 150 million books worldwide.
Honestly to be able to meet him was great, but to speak at one of his events was really just something I never dreamed would happen to me. I want to thank everyone that attended for making it a great event and for sharing your personal stories with me. I hope to stay in constant contact with each of you as I am sure you will all grow and prosper in your own way after this event. I’m even motivated to do more and do what I do better now.
Below are a few pictures of Mark Hansen putting me in a choke hold…….. comedy of course. I hope everyone see’s that if a kid from Mississippi can end up speaking at events like this and be able to call someone like Mark Victor Hansen a friend…. anyone can! I hope my story and continued success does nothing but motivate you to create your own success story and your own path to financial freedom.

Well I am in St. Louis, MO for the entire week doing some personal one on one mentoring. I have two students here that I am working with and I have to say I am loving it! I love the personal interaction that mentoring allows me to incorporate into my training. I love seminars, conferences, and big events; however, I think mentoring is something I enjoy even more! One thing about teaching that really facinates me is finding that moment that the student “gets it”. Sometimes it takes saying the same thing 10 different ways for one person to get it, and sometimes it takes only 3 or 4 times for others.
Fact is we are all programmed differently and we all learn differently. Mentoring allows me the one on one interaction I need to find out how each person learns so that I can relay the information in a way that they just simply get it. I really think the people I am working with this week are going to do some amazing things in the affiliate marketing space, and in the internet business space in general. I guess you learn from experience. I never really thought the idea of mentoring sounded fun, but now that I am doing it I love it.
I think everyone looking to make money in any industry should seek out a mentor. Just someone you can go to for tips, advice, techniques, strategies, and information on a daily basis, or as needed. I certainly can’t mentor people in anything outside of internet related subject matters, but there are people that can help you with real estate, stock investing, and business in general. I might even find a mentor for myself in “real estate” because right now I condiser myself real estate investing “dumb”, but I am learning!
I was lucky enough to get to go to the All Star baseball game tonight! Since we are here we decided to check it out. Very cool. Saw Obama through out the first pitch, a stealth bomber plane, and the American League win 4-3. Great seats, great city, great people….. Really having a great time!

Sounds like a crazy title huh? Most people ask me if I ever get worn out, tired, or just basically frustrated with everything because I tend to do everything by myself. I typically smile and state “Nope I love what I do so how could I be tired of it? frustrated with it? or worn out?”. I think that response just might be coming to an end. Don’t get me wrong I love what I do, but I am not stretching myself far to thin. I have almost 8 projects going full blast, and I am just one person! So I figure it to be a nice gesture to all of you around the country that have asked me that question to make this blog post. I am officially telling you yes I am tired! It’s time to cut back, slow down, and regroup. I talk about making sure you have “personal time” quite a bit in my book The Hidden Millionaire. I guess it’s about time the writer practice what he teaches…. so I am getting started very soon with my much needed, rest.
In other news I feel it important to say thanks to everyone I met in Orlando. You were all such wonderful people and the networking was absolutely great! I hope we can all work together in some way, shape, or form very soon.

As I write this we have taken a short break from the nationwide conferences. This has given me the time to travel, spend time with my family, and obviously work on new projects. One thing that really hit me today (well tonight its 2:30am as I write this) is that Networking is such a huge key factor to success. I know I talk about it quite extensively in my book The Hidden Millionaire, but I want to reiterate to everyone how important it is to build a good network of key people. It’s important that the people in your network be trustworthy, and of course ethical and moral on all levels. Make sure to never align yourself with someone that simply has no ethics or morals. I was lucky enough to run into Marc Ostrofsky (the guy that sold business.com for 7.5 million dollars!) today. Can you believe that? This guy is the king of domain names, and yet it is just as nice and easy going as anyone else you would ever meet.
After talking with him for awhile I realized it was important to add him to my personal network. He’s a great guy and just enormously successful. He’s not chasing money he’s chasing success and money is just the byproduct of his success. This is exactly what I try to teach everyone to do when I speak at events. Chase success and the money will come naturally. I plan on working with Mr. Ostrofsky on a few projects here very soon. He aslo has a new book coming out called Get Rich Click in October. As soon as it is available ill post a special link here ONLY available to my readers. This link is going to hook you up with the book at a huge discount!
Stay tuned… and like I said…… NETWORKING IS KEY - SO GET STARTED IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY!

As I sit here writing this blog I am at a fork in the road and have decisions to make that can and will affect my entire future, and the future of my businesses. My dad once told me (long ago when I was just a kid) that every man will come to a fork in the road at some point, and every man must live with the decision he makes. Sometimes the road less traveled is the right way to go, but certainly not the easiest. I think in my case that certainly holds true.
This year has been a real blessing to me. I have been lucky enough to meet some really great people and create some really amazing things. I am certain no matter what road I choose at this point everything will work out fine. It’s important for everyone to realize these “fork in the road” moments. I think sometimes people make decisions without thinking first, and then end up looking back saying “wow that was a big decision I didn’t realize how it would affect my life at the time..” We’ve all done it and that’s ok obviously, however, it is important to try to recognize these moments in life so you can make sure to prepare yourself for the decisions you make.
Just a piece of advice from someone with a lot on his mind… Hope everyone has a GREAT day!

I had lunch with a friend today and it sparked my attention to something very important, and that is knowledge is the key to success in every way. We were just discussing a few things here and there about business. This guy sells insurance and simply wants to get “out of the grind” which makes sense. I think everyone wants to get out of the daily grind of going to work, coming home and eating dinner, going to sleep, and waking up and doing it all over again.
Owning your own business can certainly provide that outlet. Business owners do have a responsibility to take care of business whenever and wherever it’s needed. However, there is a sense of accomplishment, relief, and pride that goes along with being a entrepreneur. My friend turned to an MLM to find his way out of the daily grind. When he first mentioned it to me I immediately thought to myself “I don’t do MLMs and I really don’t think they are worth the time or effort people put into them”. I, however, continued to listen to his story. What I saw in him was the drive and determination to make this work and to make this business his ticket out of that daily grind that he hates so much right now.
Within about an hour I had shared with him enough knowledge about the industry and how to build his business while helping others at the same time that he was absolutely elated. I think this guy is going to be really successful. He is now armed with the knowledge it takes to be successful, and the great thing is he did not try to sell me on joining the MLM.
As a side note the company he is now working with is brand new. It’s a very good concept because it’s selling food (or paying an auto ship to get $50 worth of food sent to you each day). Think about how much you spend at the grocery store every month now imagine YOU making money off everyone buying what they already need and buy every single month? Pretty good concept. My suggestion is that everyone should check it out. I am not signed up but I probably will go ahead and take the plunge because it’s only $199 plus I could use the food anyway. He told me about one lady that made $58,000 last year which didn’t seem to bad to me. Anyway if any of you are interested you can get more information here : INFORMATION
Note: That is not my affiliate link. I do not in anyway make money or profit from you signing up with this program. I simply think it is a good idea, and figure I would help this guy out by listing it here on my blog. If you join you will benefit being in his group because ill be helping him help others be successful with the program.
Anyway just remember having great ideas is great, having drive and determination is great, but without knowledge you will simply get nowhere in business. Read books, work with coaches and mentors and learn what you need to know in order to be successful!

For once I think I would like YOUR feedback on a few things. I know I am always giving advice and speaking my mind here on my blog about business, making money, planning, and sometimes even just life in general. Being only 26 years old obviously puts me at a complete disadvantage when it comes to “what you learn in the real world” seeing as how I have been here only 26 short years.
I am facing something new to me and it’s something I don’t think I am very good at right now. Juggling work and personal life has always been a serious issue for me. Since I was 21 years old I have had a huge responsibility on my shoulders as many of you already know. I know I didn’t have the normal college life because I was busy building a business and taking care of my family. I still somehow managed to find time to sneak away and just watch a ball game or play my playstation 3. It was rare but it did happen. I always found just a few minutes for “me” and it was certainly relaxing.
Now at 26 years old I am in a whole new world. So far out of my comfort zone I am amazed I have been able to stay afloat this long. I’ve finally got a serious relationship and now I have serious issues. Now my responsibilities are far greater than they were when I was only 21 years old. I have many businesses I run on a daily basis not to mention the Hidden Millionaires tour that keeps me on the road quite often. This “relationship” I am speaking of is with the girl I talked about in a previous blog. She’s kind, sweet, and really a good match for me overall. However, work seems to be really getting in the way and causing issues.
I’ve always said “make time for those you love” I even wrote about it in my book. I, however, don’t know that you can really ever make “enough” time for people. It seems they always want what they don’t have I guess that is just human nature. You make 30 minutes for them and they want an hour. Make an hour and they want 2 hours. So how do you have a successful relationship? How do you juggle work with personal life?
I suppose if someone had real concrete answers to those questions they would be beyond wealthy from sharing their knowledge with the world. My goal for this year was to maintain a healthy growing relationship, and still expand my businesses. I am striving but struggling each and every day to learn how exactly that is done.
One thing for everyone to remember. Success is found through struggle. Anyone that tells you there is a “shortcut to success” is lieing. Short of winning the lottery I simply don’t know of a shortcut to millions of dollars being in your bank account. Success take time, effort, knowledge, and it requires struggling during the hard times. You can really learn from my situation here even though it may not be exactly like yours.
Realize that it does not matter how successful you are you will always strive and struggle to reach a higher level of success. Wether that be in relationships, business, or both it will always occur. The people that come out on top simply just know how to tackle the hard times and provide solutions to problems. That’s how people become wealthy in America simply find a solution to a problem.
For me my problem is one that I struggle with all the time. When is it time to just STOP working and START having a life with my family, friends, and people I care about? On the flip side when is it time to STRIVE for more success in business? I will continue to hash this out over the rest of this year and I am confident that when I write my 2009 year in review blog I will be telling you exactly how I managed to have a successful relationship as well as more success in business.
Remember. Success comes from solving problems. Problems typically come from hard times or through struggling…. If you are struggling with something in your life right now simply make a commitment to fixing that problem and realizing success.

I am excited to announce today that we are expanding our conferences. We have decided to bring on new staff members and reach more people nationwide. I really believe our events help everyone that attends learn exactly what they need to know to make money online. If nothing more we certainly spark an interest in the Internet and open peoples eyes to enormous possibilities the Internet brings to anyone anywhere in the world.
As soon as more information is available I will post it and let everyone know. This is really exciting news because it means we will reach so many more people and teach more people nationwide this year!

My posting will be short tonight. It’s 12:30 am and I am a bit tired. I guess not being on the road doing Hidden Millionaires conferences has been a good thing for me the past few weeks. I’ve been able to really relax and enjoy spending time alone, which is rare for me these days. I was suprised today to see that quite a few people ordered my book “The Hidden Millionaire” off Amazon. I guess I forgot to even mention that it was on there for sale. Most people just goto my website www.TheHiddenMillionaireBook.com to order the book, but if you want to buy it at Amazon.com feel free to do so.
I hope everyone enjoyed the Grammy’s tonight. Al Green and Justin Timberlake together was really cool. I admire them for being able to do what they do. I speak in front of a few hundred people and its a nervous thing for me to do. I can’t imagine singing like that in front of thousands live and millions around the world. Especially on short notice like they had to do tonight.
Hope everyone has a successful and wonderful week!
Anthony Morrison
