This is an animation I made over at GoAnimate.com. There are many ways you can make video animations there, and you can even get a commercial license or an educator’s license. I enjoy using the platform.
This is one of my better videos, and in the future I might be making some for products and services that I use, too. The only thing that gets in the way is the time to keep up with all I have to do. However making animations is a great way to reduce stress.

If you would like me to make a video for you or your business, please contact me by leaving a comment.

Message me if you are a member of GoAnimate.com Let me know how much you enjoy the video. Thanks.

For a while I had a series on internet coaches, and it was drawing a whole lot of interest. A that time there were several excellent internet coaches around. Of course you had to pay for most of their trainings, but when you want something positive in your life it can be worth it. It seems when you are going to do something that is not totally main-stream, like attempt making money using the internet, you run into a lot of people who will tell you why you will fail. You will also run into a lot of people who will sell you courses.

There is a trap you can fall into of buying courses. There are two schools of thought on this one. First, there is the one of whatever you buy is worth it (the people selling the courses will say that). I have learned something from every course I have purchased. However some of them are over priced.

Now there are a lot of courses for $7. They are $7 until you turn the page and then you get more and more offers and an endless stream of emails. However that is another subject.

Of the coaches I endorsed a while ago, some are still around. Some are doing other things.

Chris Lang is still around and can be found on Google Plus and on his websites. I will be adding more about Chris Lang. He is still honest! He is still giving members to his programs great value, and you can learn a lot from him but following him over on Google Plus. He does not do Facebook much any more as far as I know, but I do not show up on Facebook that much any more either.

The Coaching Club I belonged to closed quite a while ago. It was a shame because the idea was great. It was a group of like minded people with a whole lot of positive material to share. The library was huge and membership was affordable. You could access a lot of great material.

The group I taught blogging for is still around. It went through some difficult times, as members of the group seemed to all get hit with family emergencies around the same time.

There are new programs out there for coaching, and I thought I found something affordable and good, but they are rebuilding their program, or their website. I will be writing more once they are up and running and more stable.

I will also be writing more about Internet Coaches and coaching programs again, soon.

There is a lot of information coming on now on how to use Google Plus, or G+. If you are already on several social sites you are probably wondering why you even need Google Plus. If you are happy with what you are doing, why change, right?

I was not understanding it completely myself and I wondered what all the fuss was about, but they are now at over 4 million users in a very short time. That is super incredible.

You can not go on Google Plus and be Rockin Rick’s Harleys. You have to be Rick Real (if that is your real name) to start, because Google Plus is about who the users really are. However, now Google is rolling out Business Pages, and Brand Pages. Therefore, we all might see a page for Rick’s business very soon (but I randomly picked this name, so if someone has this business please let me know, and if this article helped it).

While I am not an authority on Google Plus, I do use it and was one of the early users, so have seen changes. I do not have thousands of followers, yet, because I do not throw random content out there.

I recommend checking out Google Plus. If you need an invitation leave me a comment and I will send you one. You should be able to join without one, but you have to have a free Gmail account. Let me know if you need one of those, too.

Here is the interview that I was fortunate enough to find earlier today.

I have not been doing all that much with my blog lately. I apologize for that and when I look at my followers the number has gone way down. Lets see what is new, and what am I recommending for this crazy time of year. It is summer and sometimes that is slow for certain businesses and great for others.
I am focusing on the day job, making animations, and looking for views on YouTube. I am still trying to learn to become a better Forex trader, and should do a series of posts on that, too.

Google Plus, G+, or Google+, is taking up a lot of my time and I am still wondering if it will replace Facebook, but at this point in time I seriously doubt it. It is like replacing apples (not the computer) for oranges.

I still think Wom Vegas is a great place to start if you want to meet a whole flock of marketers, but you have to use caution there, too. There are some veteran advertisers there. However it does present a good opportunity and Timothy Drobnick is very sincere and after all the years I have used his products I know he is hard working, never far away, and I would say Honest. That is a great combo and you can learn a lot from him. He is successful.

Here is my link to G+ if you want to follow me or circle me there. I will get a link on here as soon as I can and probably take down the one from Buzz, since I do not use it that much any more. Rocque’s G+–please let me know you found me via this blog.

I am getting ready to be installed on the Huntington Beach Walk of Fame for surfing. Dreams can come true, so that is most exciting. I hope I will get inspired to keep you all informed of progress from that experience. Never give up on your dreams.

Every day we are faced with opportunities. Some are very obvious and some are not so obvious. Do you ever grab an opportunity when it is right in front of your face but are you so non focused that the opportunities pass you by?

Often I feel that way. I feel the opportunity passed me by and I did not grab it. Instead of grabbing the opportunity I hop on the coat tails of it and find myself being a follower and not a leader.

However sometimes you find someone who grabbed an opportunity and ran with it to see where it would take him or her. Such it was with the Chicago Blizzard of 2011. Was it the great Chicago Blizzard? Since I never lived there I am not sure.

The Superbowl. I did not watch it, but I heard play by play commentary from real people who were watching it, and it was just as good as any paid professional commentator. Maybe I should have recorded it for a YouTube video.

Imagine forgetting the words to the National Anthem for the USA when you are an award winning singer. Now that is now good. Sometimes we seize and opportunity and fall on our face. However not doing it on National or Worldwide television is always better than what was done on Superbowl Sunday.

Where are the prompters with the lyrics? No matter how rich or famous we get there is usually something that happens in our life to keep us humble. We get reminded, after-all, we are only human.

So while two teams battled it out to wear the prestigious Super Bowl Ring, it seemed all the highly paid performers fell short of reaching their peak performances (by my commentator’s opinions).

However one up and coming film maker captured some moments and is calling for mass participation in the making of a movie about the blizzard. So far the YouTube views are climbing even after the storm is over. Where will this opportunity take Steven Vargas? It is up to us the general internet users to determine by using our thumbs up and “Likes”. Will you do that?

Here is the video. Seize the Day and the Opportunities. If you have a video comment please add it.

I write about Chris Lang a whole lot on this blog because he is someone who does influence what I do on the internet. I have not posted in a long time due to other life emergencies getting in the way. However, I want to just start updating what is happening with Chris Lang and his newest project that has to do with YouTube.

I love making videos, and the next few years should show them becoming more and more valid. The “little guy or gal” can have a real voice through videos. They already are.

I am going to use this blog to keep you updated on this trend that is not a new trend, but one that is either highly under-rated or taken advantage of by the “get rich quick” gurus.
