Investing
in domains has always been equated with investing in real estate, some for
personal use or a parking lot, some for development into businesses or even
shopping centers. The shopping center opening the day the interstate opens may
work better than the shopping center being opened 15 years before the road to
the store is even built or conceived.
But that is exactly what domain investors do up until now because of our forward looking vision and
I am here to tell you the road is about to be open and we are about to be
connected in a most profound way.
Just like the road unlocks the value of the shopping center, the
expanding net and understanding of domains is the road that will unlock the
true value of domain names. Timing is everything. Everything.
Howard
calls and says he has an idea. I say great, what is it? He says how about speed
networking with a twist? Ok and here it is:
What
we will be doing at T.R.A.F.F.I.C, SOUTH BEACH in October is called Speed
Networking with “Hall of Famers”. We will release further details of this
unique event as we get closer to the event, but as we looked over the list of attendees,
we noticed that almost all of the Domain Hall of Fame Members who had
previously been inducted were already registered for the show. They will be asked to participate
in a special Speed Networking session that will allow the newest domain
investor to interact with the oldest. Engage, ask questions and make new
friends and opportunities.
This
gives a chance to mingle, grow and share and learn from the masters, those who
you voted in to the domain Hall of Fame. A chance for new and old and everyone in the middle to mix
and get things off to a running start.
There
is a reason that TRAFFIC South Beach is going to be another landmark event. In
the coming weeks I will give everyone reading this an overwhelming amount of
reasons to come to TRAFFIC.
Reasons to leave the comfort of your home to expand your business for
years to come. THAT is what we do at TRAFFIC and nobody reading this can afford
not to be in the right place at the right time. Nobody.
Yes,
there may be a cost to attend T.R.A.F.F.I.C. but there is no expense. That
means that you have to pay to play, but the rewards trump the cost. SIMPLE! It’s
like buying a domain for $3000 and selling it for $30,000. You don’t focus on
the $3,000, you focus on the ultimate benefit and reward.

The best part of working in the “Information Age” is that
you can do it anywhere. The worst thing is that since we can do it anywhere, we
choose to just sit for the most part. The result may be a gain in weight. Until the
net, I was thin and could eat all I wanted and not gain weight. A combination
of age and sitting in front of a computer screen changed that over the past years.
With most of my goals, it takes a while for me to get
mentally ready. To set my mind not to get discouraged when the setbacks happen.
That is my mental training before I can even make an attempt. I then visualize
different scenarios. Different ways to look at the same thing. For me, I used
the visualization that for every extra 5LBS of weight I had that I was carrying a laptop
with me 24/7. And just how uncomfortable it would be day after day, year after year. Well, here is
the tally to this point. Below is a list of the items I was carry around with
me in a visual way.
Apple MacBook Pro 17” 6.6LBS Apple MacBook Pro 15” 5.6LBS Apple MacBook Pro 13” 4.5LBS Apple MacBook4.7LBS Apple MacBook Air 3.0LBS Apple iPad 1.5LBS
Total of this part…..25.9LBS
But we are not done. To that you can add the following:
Apple MacBook Pro 17” 6.6LBS Apple MacBook Pro 15” 5.6LBS Apple MacBook Pro 13” 4.5LBS Apple MacBook Air 3.0LBS
Total of this part 18.7LBS
That is what the weight I lost represents. I still have a
hard time getting my head around this. So when I look back and even try to
imagine that I was carrying around an Apple Store in me, I shake my head in
disbelief.
I really had to change some very old and favorite
habits.Ask anyone, I LOVE to eat.
TRAFFIC is like a wet dream for me because I do most of the food planning and I
have a nearly unlimited amount of choices.
So I told myself if I did not stop overeating, then
eventually it would lead to me not being able to eat what I like the most and worse. So I
knew I had to change how I looked at things and change the food that went into
my mouth.
When it came to food, I could have a buffet breakfast
followed by a $100 lunch followed by a Checkers Burger and Fries on the way to
dinner. That was a normal event.
The
point of all this is I was unsuccessful in earlier attempts until I
could think of it in a different way and actually change my habit. No
planned diet. No other intervention.
After refraining for over a year I went to Checkers to
celebrate earlier this summer. A reward for hitting a great goal. The even
bigger reward was that I threw most of it away.

In a UNANIMOUS and very well thought out decision, GAYLIVE.COM remains on my side of the ledger. These guys threw everything at me, accused me of everything and came away empty. More importantly, the decisions are now being taken more seriously and more reasoned. This has taken many years to accomplish. Everything they decided was based on past cases and the panel took their mission seriously. At the end of the day, that is all you can ask no matter which way a decision goes.
The Board has initiated a search committee for the next CEO. In the meanwhile, Mr. Botterman will step in as Interim CEO following Ms. Raad’s departure.
These are the official results of the extended DomainFEST NYC auction, which ended today. The highlight of the extended auction was the sale of Quotes.com for $1,100,000 USD.
