How I Gained 10,000 Real Twitter Followers
November 28, 2011 Posted by Tyler CruzWarning: This is a very long post. If you’re reading this from a smartphone you may want to wait until you get home.
In this post I will explain in detail how I gained over 10,000 real Twitter followers in a short amount of time and reveal how you can do it too.
I was a latecomer to Twitter, but eventually decided to sign up. However, I never really used it. And apart from running a couple of Twitter contests and adding a Twitter counter and link on the right-side of my blog, I didn’t really try to increase my followership.
But once I started using the Twitter app on my Blackberry, that all changed. I started to really enjoy Twitter and use it frequently. As I started to Tweet more often, I realized that my number of followers was fairly low and not seeing much growth at around 1,000, and so I decided to try to dramatically increase it.
I currently (as of writing this post) have 10,383 Twitter followers – all real people, most with many followers themselves, yet am only following 10 people myself.
No Follow-for-Follow
There are many services and tools (both paid and free) that will allow you to increase your number of Twitter followers by agreeing to follow others in return. While this would probably help gain my number of followers fairly easily and quickly, I don’t like it for several reasons:
1. In doing follow-for-follow, most services and tools require that you give up your password. I don’t like the thought of that at all.
2. While it’s actually fairly common to see a high follow-to-follower ratio on Twitter, even with some celebrities, it also dilutes a lot of the value of your followers as they’re just blind sheep who are only following you so that you follow them in return.
3. I hate the fact that you are always "in debt"; you are stuck following all of those people, because chances are if you unfollow them that they will unfollow you back.
4. Which leads me to my next point. I am sure that in the future, as more ad networks which allow you to sell your Tweets pop up, they will eventually factor in a follow-to-follower ratio metric. When this happens, my account will look golden.
5. I am currently following only 10 people yet have over 10,000 followers. I think this makes my account stand out more. It also doesn’t hurt to increase the follower conversion rate, as it may appear that account must be good to follow if 10,000 others are following me and I’m not following them back.
What Didn’t Work
I first tried a couple services in which you purchased packages that would gain you Twitter followers over a fairly quick period of time – typically 2-7 days.
There are many services that offer this, and even more that will offer them if you allow follow-for-follow.
At first glance, the results looked awesome to me. I gained around 2,000 followers within a few days and grew from 1,000 to 3,000 followers. But then upon closer inspection, I realized that the average follower only had around 3-4 followers themselves, 8-9 tweets, and were following around 50 people. They also all had similar usernames… as if automatically generated using common first and last names with a couple of random letters appended to them.
Upon further investigation, it was confirmed that these were bots/fake accounts that were sent to me. To make matters worse, a few weeks later I was seeing massive unfollows of around 150-500 about once a week or so, to where I ended up where I started at with around 1,000 followers.
Having the followers unfollow was bad enough, but I don’t want fake followers… that makes them 90% useless (having a high metric in anything is still always beneficial, which is why I didn’t say 100% useless). So, this didn’t work.
I then considered using TwitterCounter’s Featured User service, which at first glance looked fairly promising. What enticed me was that you’d get high quality followers and definitely not bots.
But their prices are just insane. They state on their site:
"When you’re a featured member you get approximately 1 Twitter follower on every 100 views."
Yet they charge $285 for 50,000 views, resulting in an expected estimate of 500 new followers.
That’s $0.57 per follower which is really expensive!
That number increases with the more volume you purchase… for example 100,000 views (1,000 followers) is $545 or $0.54 per follower, but that’s still insanely expensive.
And so, TwitterCounter’s service was out of the picture.
What DID Work
Enter Twiends.
Twiends is a free service that allows Twitter users to list themselves in which is essentially a giant Twitter directory.
And giant it is. It is in the top 3,000 on Alexa and boasts over a million members.
You sign-up, choose 5 categories that best represent your Twitter account, and are given 25 free "seeds" for signing up.
A seed is essentially a credit, and is used as a type of currency on the site. You set a seed-rate on how much you are willing to "pay" for people to follow you. In contrast, you can also gain seeds by following others.
There are fraud checks in place to help prevent cheaters from mass following in order to gain credits and then mass unfollowing, although at the same time you can’t expect a 100% retention rate because people will naturally unfollow you anyway, especially if your Twitter updates really suck 
. On average, you can expect a long-term retention rate of about 50%, but this will really vary depending on your settings and how you tweet (if you just spam your Twitter account with ads, the unfollow rate will obviously be higher).
Great Value in Purchasing Seeds
While you could certainly sit in front of your computer all day and manually follow others in order to gain seeds, that would be an incredible waste of your time, not to mention that it would defeat the point of the "No Follow-for-Follow" mentality that I mentioned earlier.
The secret to Twiends is to purchase seeds or packages.
For example, as I write this, here is how many seeds I currently have in my account:
Do you know how long that would have taken to amass if I had tried to gain those manually? It’d basically be impossible.
Twiends allows users to purchase seeds through three different methods: subscription-based, predefined seed packages, and one-day featured slots:
As you can see, the bigger the package, the cheaper the seed price, so it’s cheaper to buy in bulk.
If you’re interested in trying Twiends out, I highly recommend starting with the One Day Featured package at $79. You should receive approximately 3,000 followers within 48 hours. That works out to around two-and-a-half pennies per follower!
With the One Day Featured slot, you are shown on the right side of the main directory pages in a Featured Users section. Twiends pays others 7 seeds to follow you even though you don’t actually use any seeds of your own. This is why this is such a great package to buy, as you get 24-hours as a Featured User.
It is most beneficial to new users to the site as it means that nobody has followed you yet. As a result, the slot starts to lose its effectiveness with each implementation, so you wouldn’t see another 3,000 followers if you purchased it immediately the following day, for example.
It’s a good slot to get once in a while, but not all the time.
Also, keep in mind that while you should receive a crapload of new followers in the first 1-2 days of purchasing a Featured User slot, that you will inevitably see a bit of a decrease during the next 3-4 days. This is normal and will only last a few days (if you have a seed balance) as it’s only normal for some out of those 2,000-3,000 new followers to unfollow you. You will keep the vast majority of the followers that you gained.
If you’re happy with the results of the One Day Featured slot, then I’d recommend grabbing the 20,000 + Featured package at $300. It’s $50 more than the 20,000 package but you get 1 free day as a featured user which is worth $80, so it’s a better value.
Or, you could purchase the 50,000 package which has a really low per-seed rate at only $0.012, plus 2 days of being a Featured User.
I personally have only ordered the large packages and not the subscriptions myself, although I’m sure the subscriptions are just as fine.
Please note that the 50,000 package will not be available to you until you become a VIP member, which basically means that you’ll need to make a different transaction first.
There are even larger packages available with greater discounts, but for most of you the 50K is plenty large enough.
Prices may Rise…
I noticed the other day that the cost for the Featured User rose from $59 to $79 as demand for it increased.
As more and more people start to realize the power of Twiends, the rates will likely increase as well, so grab your seeds at these low costs while you can!
I know, I know, it sounds all very pitchy, but don’t say I didn’t warn you . I’m probably going to grab the 100K package next for this very reason.
Maximize your Retention Rate!
I’m going to share a massive and very important tip with you.
When I first started using Twiends, I was very disappointed with their service because I was getting an incredibly high unfollow rate due to cheaters trying to game the system by following and then unfollowing users.
I managed to dramatically reduce my unfollow rate and increase my retention rate to around 50% by making the following changes to my account.
*** I highly recommend *** that you make these adjustments to your Twiends account before purchasing any credits!
Once logged into Twiends, go to Settings located at the top right, then click on the "Modify Options" link (it’s located right after the text "2 seeds offered to some people, with follow back turned off").
Then change your settings to match mine as in the screenshot below:
By default, these are set to the very highest which is why the unfollow rate can be so high.
If you want to have an even better retention rate you can adjust these as desired, but keep in mind that you will gain new followers at a much slower rate.
You can freely increase the "Offer 2 seeds when someone follows you" rate to whatever you wish – as this shouldn’t affect your retention rate. It will simply drain your seed balance much faster, but will gain you new followers dramatically faster as well.
I personally offer 2 seeds because it’s the best value, and I’m happy with my new follower rate.
Proof Twiends Works
Here are some screenshots, courtesy of TwitterCounter (which I highly recommend using if you start using Twiends), which show the effectiveness of Twiends:
First, here are the results from the past 30 days. As you can see, gradual, steady growth:
And here are the results over the past 3 months. Take a guess when I used a "Featured User" slot:
And here are the results from the past 6 months:
I’m not the only one benefiting from Twiends though. I privately told John Chow and Zac Johnson about it as well and they both signed up and purchased the packages as I recommend to them (starting with a Featured User slot and then a 50K package).
Take a guess when John started his Featured user spot
And when do you think Zac started his Featured User slot? I’m almost regretting telling Zac about Twiends though, as he’s on pace to pass my number of followers now!
John, Zac, and I are all very happy with the results we’ve seen with Twiends.
As you can tell, I highly recommend Twiends, and plan on doing a follow-up post once I hit the 20,000 follower mark.

My Meet-Up with PeerFly and AmpedMedia
November 18, 2011 Posted by Tyler CruzOne of the reasons I decided to go down to Florida last month was so that I could finally meet up with PeerFly and AmpedMedia in person.
I’ve been a publisher with both affiliate networks for 2-3 years now and have always highly recommended them. After talking with them so much on AIM and through e-mail, it was good to finally meet them in person.
First, I’d like to thank all of them for driving down to meet me. I was staying at a resort in Disney World and AmpedMedia drove down for over an hour to meet me, and PeerFly had to drive down for 2.5 hours! That’s just one way too… and so I really appreciate that they took the time to meet me – after all, they all had to work the next day!
First Impressions
The plan was that PeerFly was going to pick me up from the resort and then meet up with AmpedMedia at the restaurant.
While I had spoken to everyone at PeerFly online countless of times and knew what they looked like via photos, I had actually never spoken to any of them over the phone, let alone meet them before.
And so I was rather taken aback while I was sitting outside on a bench by the resort’s front lobby when I saw a big black vehicle roll up with 3 big-looking guys, all wearing black, inside.
My initial reaction was to think "that must be them", which was quickly replaced by "nah… there’s no way that’s them…", and then finally replaced again by "Um… no, that’s them all right", lol. I stood up and gave a reluctant wave which was immediately followed by very gratuitous waves in return.
It was a really odd sight to see though, because this was a Disney resort, and this big black vehicle full of 3 guys all wearing black really stood out.
Once I got in though (after a bit of confusion from the valets), they were pretty much just as I had imagined. Although, Luke (my affiliate manager. and frequent commenter here) looked like a freaking giant to me… he’s roughly the same size as me, but for some reason he looked smaller in photos to me.
It was a bit of a drive to the restaurant, but that gave us time to talk and catch up on things.
We arrived at the restaurant and AmpedMedia was there waiting for us. Jonathan, the CEO, and Edward (Senior Account Executive) were the two who came from the company (3 from PeerFly and 2 from AmpedMedia), and I was panicking because they didn’t introduce themselves and I was really struggling to know which one was which!
See, I’ve also spoken to Jonathan countless times online, but he only has a really tiny photo of himself online, and neither of the guys looked like the guy in the photo, so I was really confused, lol. But before long I was able to sort out the confusion.
I hadn’t actually spoken to Edward too much online before, but was glad to meet him. He’s a really quiet guy. But that just could be because everyone else was extremely talkative, and he couldn’t get a word in, heh.
Jonathan was nothing like I expected him to be. Online he is really nice, yet also fairly quiet… he doesn’t have a whole lot to say, and keeps things fairly short and to the point. But in person – wow – totally different person. He’s extremely outgoing and talkative.
The Dinner
The original plan was that we were going to go out for dinner at a nice steakhouse, but then I threw a wrench into the works and suggested Korean instead. I kind of regret that now though, for a few reasons. The main reason being that I really think the other guys would have preferred a steakhouse, and so I feel a bit guilty about that. None of them said anything about it though.
In fact, everyone was extremely nice. Not that I was expecting anything otherwise, but they are all very down to earth.
I really enjoyed the conversation. While there were some questions thrown at me regarding Canada and the way Canadians talk, the conversation rarely delved away from work. It was absolutely awesome listening to everyone talk to each other about the affiliate marketing industry.
I mean, just how often do you have the CEO’s of two different affiliate networks sit down for dinner (one treating the other no less), and share tips and advice to each other? In such a competitive industry, this was awesome to see.
I was also surprised, although I shouldn’t have been, at just how damn knowledgeable everyone was. They all really know their stuff, and a good portion of the time I didn’t even know what the hell they were talking about because it was over my head.
I should have taken some video of some of the conversation, but to be honest I was so engrossed in it all that I didn’t really think about it.
I did make everyone introduce themselves on camera though 
Here’s a video clip of the good guys from PeerFly and AmpedMedia introducing themselves:
(Note: You may need to visit the post directly at TylerCruz.com if you’re reading this via e-mail or RSS in order to see it.)
I think you can get a sense of how friendly everyone is, and again, I just love how these two networks manage to work together.
These guys really know their stuff and take care of their publishers. They always send me a card or gift at Christmas, sponsor my blog and sites, and go out of their way to get me a particular offer I want or payout increase I need.
In case you can’t tell, I highly recommend PeerFly and AmpedMedia
You may notice in the video above that Chad (PeerFly CEO) is writing something down. That’s him paying the bill for everyone – so thanks for dinner! Apparently, Jonathan paid for dinner the last time they met. Sorry – I just love how they’re so friendly to each other
Here are a couple of photos I asked the waitress to take, which she was more than happy to do:
And of course, we had to do my corny double-gun pose (it was Chad’s idea, as you can probably tell)!:
You may notice a gift bag next to me. I’ll be blogging about what’s in that bag in an upcoming post.
Thanks Again Guys!
Meeting up with PeerFly and AmpedMedia was the highlight of my trip for me, and I really want to thank everyone for driving down hours to meet me.
Sign up with PeerFly and AmpedMedia!
My New Computer Back-Up Set-Up
November 14, 2011 Posted by Tyler CruzA few posts ago, I posted how a broken hard drive had crippled me due to not having a very recent back-up.
I did have a back-up, but it was 3 months old. I used to make back-ups once a month, but as my websites grew in size and my personal files grew as well, it quickly became quite a chore to back up my computer.
In this post, I will first share how I used to back up my data, and then show my new backing up procedure.
Before I begin, I wanted to address a couple of suggestions that were made in my earlier post.
Using an Online Back-Up Service
First, a couple commenters suggested that I use online back-up services. I did consider doing this, but have a couple of issues with it. The main issue is that the government here recently started to cap Internet use, and made it mandatory for all ISP’s to limit online bandwidth.
With my current plan, I am allotted 125 GB of bandwidth a month. While I don’t get anywhere near that most months, I have started to creep towards it. If you look at August and September in the graph below, you can see that it’s not unrealistic for me to get near that cap:
While I believe there is one upgrade of a plan I can do to get more bandwidth, it isn’t all that much more, and the fact is that my bandwidth will only increase overtime anyway.
Now, I don’t know how much bandwidth an online back-up service would take, and it might be a lot less than I think if they offer incremental data packet changes, but that leads me to my second point:
Part of my back-up routine is to download back-ups of all my websites across all my servers. Since this accounts for 4 GB and take a long time to download, there is no way I can do this everyday, which kind of makes the online back-up thing a bit pointless.
I do love the idea of having an off-site back-up, in the case of a fire, for example, but right now I don’t think an online back-up solution really works for me.
Using RAID or 24/7 Instant Back-Up Solution
The other suggestion was that I use a software such as Memeo Instant Back-Up to automatically make back-up’s to an external hard drive. Another option would be to have a RAID set-up, so that all my data is instantly mirrored across 2 or 3 hard drives.
If I had a RAID set-up in place when my hard drive broke, I could have been back up and running right away, as if nothing had happened.
However, RAID doesn’t solve everything. A fire or theft would leave me without all of my data, and what if I wanted to grab a file that I deleted months ago? Since RAID is essentially a mirror of my hard drive, that wouldn’t help.
I did try Memeo Instant Back-Up, actually, as it came installed on an external HD I bought. However, I found it to be EXTREMELY slow. I understand that the first time you run it that it’s supposed to be slow, but the ETA of running the initial back-up procedure was something like 6 weeks! Even if it’s a lot faster after that, there’s no way I’m waiting 6 weeks before making a back-up.
And I don’t appear to be the only person who finds it slow. Google returns a lot of complaints about its slowness, such as this one, which has 43 comments from others reiterating the same problem.
My Old Back-Up Set-Up
Okay, I warn you: this is pretty old-school.
What I used to do, up to a couple weeks ago, was simply make back-up’s onto DVD. Actually, DVD’s were only in the past year or two. Before that, it was actually to CD’s!
Here’s the general procedure of what I used to do:
1. Download back-ups of all my websites, which accounts for dozens of websites spread across several different servers. This alone takes around 3 hours generally. The good news is that the back-up’s are all prepared automatically, so they are always waiting for me to simply FTP in and download.
2. Then, in order to protect my sensitive data from possible theft, I would password-protect all of my data the only way I knew how (which is a little bit embarrassing), which was to zip it all up into one RAR and then password-protect it that way. With 30GB of data to RAR into one file, this generally takes another 2-3 hours.
3. I would then burn this password-protected RAR file to DVD. I started by using CD’s, but then my files quickly grew in size so I had to start using multiple CD’s. I then switched to DVD’s, but then quickly had to start using multiple DVD’s… and so I had to split the RAR file into separate archive files in order to fit them properly onto the multiple discs.
Lastly, after double-checking that everything was backed up fine (could be accessed again), I would write down on a sheet of paper when I last backed up.
I’m sure you can see why it was a chore for me to back-up, and it only grew worse every time I did it as I would always have more data to store.
The neat thing is that I’ve been doing this for a decade, so I actually have back-up CD’s dating back from around 2002. It’s really neat going back and looking at some of the older back-up’s once in a while, as I found incredibly old websites I used to own as well as old photos, etc. It’s a real time capsule 
My New Back-Up Set-Up
Once I started splitting my password-protected RAR into multiple files, I knew that I needed a better back-up solution. Not even Blu-Ray or 16GB USB flash drives would last me long, considering that I have 30 GB minimum that needs to be backed up these days.
So, I went and purchased a 1TB external hard drive for $130 or so, which has USB3.0 compatibility (although my computer currently doesn’t have a USB3.0 connection, but the USB2.0 speeds aren’t bad).
While I could simply drag-and-drop all my files to the external HD, there still remains the issue of encryption protection. Sure, I could continue to RAR all my files into 1 password-protected file, but that always felt wrong to me, and does take a long time to do.
Fortunately, I found an absolute AWESOME software program that is completely free and open-source. It’s called TrueCrypt and here’s a brief description from its website:
TrueCrypt is a software system for establishing and maintaining an on-the-fly-encrypted volume (data storage device). On-the-fly encryption means that data is automatically encrypted right before it is saved and decrypted right after it is loaded, without any user intervention. No data stored on an encrypted volume can be read (decrypted) without using the correct password/keyfile(s) or correct encryption keys. Entire file system is encrypted (e.g., file names, folder names, contents of every file, free space, meta data, etc).
It has hordes of features, is incredibly strong and versatile, and works on any OS. It’s so strong that the FBI couldn’t even decrypt a TrueCrypt volume despite trying for an entire year.
I highly recommend TrueCrypt for password-protecting or encrypting anything.
So what I did was set TrueCrypt up on my 1TB external/portable HD so that the entire HD is encrypted, yet data can be accessed and transferred on-the-fly as if it wasn’t encrypted.
I can therefore simple drag-and-drop all my files from my PC to my portable HD, unmount it, disconnect it, and I’m done. No need for stupid RARing, and no need for burning DVD’s.
It also means that when I want to access a particular file, that I can do so much quicker.
And with 1TB of data, I can still make archives of each back-up period, simply by putting every new back-up into a different folder, named by date. Since each back-up is roughly 30GB, I could have approximately 30 retention periods of data.
However, I may instead just buy a new portable HD each time… they’re getting bigger and cheaper all the time, and it wouldn’t hurt to have another off-site back-up. That’s one thing I did like about DVD’s and CD’s… I have some of them in different locations, just in case there IS ever a fire or theft of both my computer and my back-ups.
So, here is my new back-up procedure:
1. Download back-ups of all my websites, which accounts for dozens of websites spread across several different servers. This alone takes around 3 hours generally. The good news is that the back-up’s are all prepared automatically, so they are always waiting for me to simply FTP in and download. (No change)
2. I simply plug my portable HD into my computer, mount it with TrueCrypt, and then drag-and-drop the back-up files over. I then un-mount it, unplug it, and store it away.
3. After a quick double-check that everything was backed up and encrypted fine, I then write down on a sheet of paper when I last backed up.
That’s it! It’s sure a HELL of a lot easier to do now – and with TrueCrypt, I feel that my back-up is far more secure than it used to be.
I can now back-up more frequently since it is is a lot less painful, which is the whole point.
I realize that there are many ways to back-up your data (as mentioned in the beginning of this post), but this method works best for me at this point. I may look into online back-up’s in the future, but I’m content with my current (new) set-up at the moment.
On a side note, I am missing out on the practicality of having a complete image or ghost of my machine. Unfortunately, the Windows Vista Home Premium edition doesn’t come with the Complete PC Backup feature, but I believe all versions of Windows 7 does. I’m probably going to buy a new computer in a year, at which point I’ll have Windows 7 and will then also back-up images of my computer onto my portable HD so that if something catastrophic happens again, I can literally be back up and running within hours.
How To Increase Your Chances Of Achieving Your Goals
November 11, 2011 Posted by Sté KerwerThe recent success of Tyler in his weight-loss challenge with his mate Paul inspired me to write the following post about ways to increase your chances of achieving your goals.
Reaching a goal usually means you’ll get some kind of reward – you’ll be able to wear that bikini or you’ll be able to take that dream vacation or you’ll feel better because you stopped smoking or because you lost weight.
Everyone has goals but very few people actually reach them. Here are some things you can do to increase your chances of achieving your goals.
Clearly state your goal:
The best way to achieve any goal is to plot a course for success. Before you can do that, you need to know your exact destination. You wouldn’t start off on a vacation by saying ‘I’m going to visit Ohio’. You’d pick a specific city so you could map out your route.
The same holds true for your goal. It’s not enough to say ‘I want to make more money.’ How much more do you want to make? If you only want to make $100 more each month then it might just take a couple of extra hours of work. But if you want to make an additional $1,000 per month, it’s going to take more planning and effort to reach your goal.
Set a time limit:
Give yourself a specific amount of time to achieve your goal. Otherwise you’ll dawdle along the way and eventually you’ll become completely distracted. Anyone can eventually make an extra $1000 per month. You want to make it by this time next year so you can finally take that vacation you’ve been dreaming of.
Be reasonable:
Setting goals is one thing, but setting lofty goals just means you’re setting yourself up for failure. It’s impossible to lose 100 pounds in a month and still be healthy. Just like it’s impossible to earn $1 million in a weekend. If you always set your goals impossibly high then you’ll always feel like a failure.
Have a plan:
It doesn’t matter what your goal is, if you don’t have a plan for reaching it, you’re destined for failure. Don’t forget – you need to plot a course for success. If you weigh 150 pounds and your goal is to reach 120, how do you plan to lose those 30 pounds? You can’t just wish them away. And you can’t set a reasonable goal unless you know how you plan to accomplish it. If the diet you’re going to follow promises you’ll lose 5 pounds per week, then you know it’s going to take at least 6 weeks to achieve your goal.
Break it down:
Break your goals down into manageable pieces. For example, if you want to increase your income by $1000 per month, start by increasing it by $25 per week. Once you’ve reached that goal, bump it up to $50 per week. When you break your goals down into smaller objectives, you’ll see gradual, steady progress toward your final goal which will help you stay motivated to succeed.
Chart your progress:
One way to visually break your goals into smaller pieces and help keep yourself motivated at the same time, is to chart your progress. Visualization helps you stay focused.
Let’s say you want to increase your monthly earnings by $1,000.00. Just looking at your bank balance once a month isn’t going to help you stay focused. Create a chart you can hang on the wall, right over your desk and start charting your weekly progress. As you see those numbers start to climb you’ll be motivated to step up your efforts even more.
Be prepared for detours:
Even the best laid plans are sometimes subject to detours. You’ve lost 20 of those 30 pounds you wanted to lose and here comes your neighbor with a plate full of cupcakes or here comes your buddy to tempt you with cigarettes. Maybe you’ve just about hit your $1000 a month mark and one of your websites crashes. Suffering a set-back or giving in to a little temptation does not mean you failed. However, if you don’t correct your course after these detours you’ll miss your goal by miles.
Be prepared for small bumps in the road and you’ll increase your chances of achieving your goals. Look at your chart, look at what you’ve already accomplished, look at the next little piece you have to work on and keep the big picture in mind. The hardest part about achieving goals is overcoming those little obstacles that pop up in your path. Stay focused on your destination instead of those obstacles and you’ll soon be 30 pounds lighter or $1000 a month richer or a non-smoker, or whatever your goal may be!
