Blogging For The Love Of It

Why Do You Blog?

I’ve always thought the idea of blogging was fun. It’s like your own personal space where you can say and do what you want. There isn’t really a right way or wrong way to blog. Of course if you venture into the online money making world.

Believe it or not I don’t recommend you think about “how to make money”. Rather you should blog about something you love to already do. This way you will find it easier to write about stuff you really love to do.

For example: A new hobby of mine is taking pictures. I am not very good at it but I enjoy doing it. I’ve thought about turning this blog into a photo blog at some point.

…Anywho,

I just wanted to chime in for a moment and share some thoughts with you.

What’s Been Going On With Larry Rivera

Hey friends,

It’s been a while since I posted here. I have a few projects going on at the same time. I think maybe I should of planned out everything better. Because I wanted to get started the new year all guns blazing I decided to take on some challenges..

I am on the last day of my 90 day vlog challenge that I started and I am still in the middle of a health challenge I started. On top of that I finally started building the martial art website I always wanted to build.

Combine that with supporting an online business opportunity that I am a part of mix a family into that and you have a over worked Larry Rivera. That’s okay though, I am feeling good about everything I am doing.

I want to take a moment to reflect on the past 19 years of my life. It was 19 years ago that I started down a road learning martial arts. In the beginning my idea was that I would teach kung fu. Sounded like a great idea at the time. Once I got started in the industry I started seeing how difficult it was to teach martial arts.

The main reason is because deciding to learn martial arts is a luxury and like all luxuries if you don’t have the money for it, you can’t do it. The economy hasn’t been that great for many people.

I started learning how to market on the internet in 2002, it has always been a dream of mine to combine the two skills. It feels like everything I have done for the past almost 20 years has brought me to this point in my life.

Have you ever felt like that?

Larry Rivera Dot Com Is In Need Of Some Serious Love

Over the years I have been stumped with what to do with this domain. Some folks would say I should brand myself here and make it more of a professional appearance. I only bought Larry Rivera because it’s my name and as a marketer I was taught that I should own my name.com. The problem though is I have no desire to actually brand myself. I’ve always been a behind the scenes kind of guy.

I admit though, I really need to figure something out here as far as web design is concerned. I know I want to keep it a blog. I’ve been through a dozen or so themes over the years and still haven’t found something that I can say I truly love.

If you have any ideas what theme I should use I’d love to hear your suggestion.

What Content Should I Talk About On Larry Rivera Dot Com?

This is a hard one, I still don’t know what to blog about here. Talk about needing some serious direction. I know some people get their name.com and they talk about there business. I like to believe that I am more than just what businesses I am involved with.

I mean I am a husband, father, musician, martial artist, amateur videographer, gamer etc.

You would think I’d have some kind of wisdom to offer here and maybe I do I just haven’t figured it out yet. I do appreciate you coming to visit me here though. I do wish I had more to offer you and perhaps in the future I will.

For now I am just writing here so the search engines don’t forget about me. They like it when you update your webspace.

That’s all for now, talk to you soon

It’s Almost Time For A Change on Larry Rivera

I figured I would stop by and do a blog post. I haven’t been posting here as frequently as I would like to. Nor have I given this site the love it deserves. Partly because I spread myself out thin and have several projects on the table.

Partly because I am not sure what to do with this blog. Don’t get me wrong, I realize that this is my name and I should be focusing on personal brand better than I am. Even though I realize the importance of it, I have never considered myself a professional kinda a guy.

I am more of a hoodie and sweatpants kind of guy. I dare say, some folks would say my style is that of a homeless person. I have all sorts of social networking accounts, websites and all that jazz.

What I realized most: Is I am growing up so to speak. I’ve begun to clean up my other websites. I am actually getting some solid direction. For many years I have played in the affiliate marketing/network marketing game. Let me just say from experience that doing anything related to the online home business niche is hard. Not because the “work” is hard. Rather the competition is fierce. You really have to be on top of your game to compete in it.

I do plan on cleaning this blog up. I will start to do that after I launch my new site EnterShaolin.com

Oh ya, I forgot. I actually decided to follow my passion finally and focus a good portion of my time working on my martial arts stuff. Part of me wants to make LarryRivera.com more professional. However part of me still wants to keep more of like a journal style blog where I just talk about whatever comes to mind.

Anyhow, enough of this rant…

until my next post!

Getting Healthy On The Virgin Diet

Taking My Health Seriously And Doing Something About It

Trust me when I say I know how hard it is to stay committed to eating healthy and exercising. Some people make it look so easy don’t they? I’ve tried different diets over the years. As far as hunger goes, I feel satisfied throughout the day on this diet.

30 Days into the Virgin Diet has been great. I lost about 10 lbs so far. As of today I am 216lbs.. I will update this blog again in 60 days and let you all know how I am doing.

Maybe I Am Biting Off More Than I can Chew, You Decide Bye Bye 2013

Goodbye 2013 – Hello 2o14 – Redemption Time

Boy oh Boy I just got done doing my weigh in video and I really have put on some weight from last year. I started my New Years Resolution early this year.

Getting clarity sometimes can be difficult, especially if you done things a certain way for awhile. Those nagging pains, headaches, fogginess we go through becomes common in our lives. We almost feel like we are slaves to our age. The fact is most of us are suffering from bad habits, mis information. I am here to tell you that life doesn’t have to be a crutch. You can live an absolutely amazing happy healthy life.

…However,

You need to make a powerful decision this moment to transform your life.

Leaving 2013 In The Dust

Well where not there yet, tomorrow. I am starting this new year off with 1/3 of a 90 day vlog challenge underway and I just started a 90 day health challenge. Boy oh boy I am wondering if I bit off more than I can chew.

I am not afraid though, I am ready for the new year. I am ready to take my life and businesses to places they have never been before. I am setting my intention now for what 2014 will look like for me.

I will be helping a minimum of 100 people achieve financial freedom. (maybe you are going to be one of them). I am going to get in the best shape I have ever been. What intentions are you setting for 2014?
