Check out this futuristic workstation now on sale for around $40,000! Which Internet Marketer will be the first to own this baby? Or offer it up as the top prize in a Product Launch Contest?? (Not me! That’s for sure. My wife would kill me if I bought a workstation that cost more than her Mazda CX-9 - heh heh. But for as much time as I spend in *her chair* on my laptop, you’d think I’d have a decent enough argument.)

This baby comes with 3 synchronized 19" monitors, 7" LCD Control Center with IRID password protection, RECARO style leather seating with air-lumbar & electronic positioning, HEPA Air Purification system, battery backup, 360 degree rotation, adjustable LED perimeter lighting, kick ass computer, webcam, wireless headset, cooling fans, input devices, and so much more. (I’m not sure if it has cup holders or not - but that would be a deal breaker for me.)

And not to be nit-picky - but I don’t think the chair even gives you a massage. C’mon people!

Beam me back to my wife’s chair, Scotty.

Keep Having Fun,

Alright, I told you last week that I was turning over a new leaf.

Part of that ‘new leaf’ involves me keeping a more active blog going. And as you can tell, we’ve given the blog a new look. *FINALLY*! Okay - so, it 100% SUCKED before. Any actual design would be an improvement, I know.

And yes, I’ve got some fun ideas a brewin’ - but for now - figured I’d at least get your feedback on the new look. Your opinion is important to me.

Whatcha think? What emotion does it bring forth? Is it clean? Where does your focus and attention get pulled to?

Please comment below.

Thanks,

Harris Fellman

PS If you’re not already following me on twitter, look over on the right of the new design - click there and please follow me. I’m havin’ fun there now - mostly personal stuff - but in time will be giving lots of great value to your through both this blog and twitter as well.

Okay - it’s time for a little fun. So, check out this really cute video of my daughter, McKenna, imitating a professional Korean dancer.

Of course proud poppa thinks it’s cute, but if you do, too - could you please rate it, comment on it, pass it on to anyone else?

Enjoy!

Should I be calling this a Twutorial?

Anywho… I figured it’d be good to put together a nice little set of quick tips for ppl getting started on Twitter.

Enjoy!

Oh, yeah, right after I put this video out - I told my 300 ppl following me in twitter about it.

10 of them responded. (See responses below.) oh wait, one of them isn’t even following me.

BenMack @harrisfellman Thank you for the TWITTER tutorial.

About a year ago I read 4 Hour Work Week, by Tim Ferris, for the first time. It motivated me to take a look at my business and my life. It truly inspired me to look at the things I was spending my time on and do more fun things. Do things I enjoyed doing, etc., etc.

You can see this video here from 11 months ago where I go to the zoo w/ my kids and talk about taking them to Barcelona for a month. And, yes, as I mentioned in the youtube video above, I’m still a strong believer that you should use your kids as reason, and not as an excuse. A reason to be healthy, a reason to have fun. Not the excuse to stay away from exercise, lay around the house, never travel.

Oh, and you can see some pictures & blog posts of that month-long trip to Barcelona on http://www.havekidsstilltravel.com and there’s even some videos here on the blog somewhere.

At any rate - that’s all good. But let me tell you how 4HWW F&$*#’d me up.

I cut out parts of my business that I actually enjoyed. I viewed them as time consuming for the return and didn’t want to ‘need to do them to survive’. I’ve focused more on income streams that develop recurring income. And I’ve got a great little team of people that I give many of my rote tasks to. Honestly, the recurring income is still under development … but it’s in motion.

This is all good and well, but half the time I’m bored out of my freakin’ mind!!! If it were 100% up to me, I would try to just travel the world for a year; but my wife won’t buy in to the idea right now. She’s 30 and let’s just say I didn’t marry her because of her “Susie Homemaker” qualities. Andrea is great at a lot of things, wants to feel productive, and deserves to be able to pursue whatever she wants to pursue. (Hint: she does not want to pursue a life of following Harris around the world with 2 toddlers in tow.)

Don’t get me wrong, we travel plenty - small trips right now since we just  moved to Scottsdale, AZ from Minneapolis … unpacked, big house, checkin’ out the area, etc. So, we haven’t done any big trips since last October. But that’s fine.

My point is this — what’s the point of lowering your workload, if you don’t do anything <b>FUN</b> with your free time??

I certainly figured out that if you make a BIG GOAL (a mini retirement as described in 4HWW), it certainly does give you energy. But the bigger idea that I missed was this:

If there are things that I truly enjoy doing inside of my business, I should keep doing them! Don’t cut ‘em out just because they’re time consuming or don’t have as big of a direct ROI. Do ‘em for the pure enjoyment of doing them. Sure, a brotha’s gotta pay the bills — but a little while ago, I really was very close to bliss - having fun in my business, making kick-ass money doin’ it, and travelling quite a bit.

So, I’m turning over a new leaf. A year after 4 Hour Work Week, I hereby don’t mind if I have a 40 hour work week as long as I’m enjoying it. (And I think this actually *is* part of what Ferris was trying to say as well — DO WHAT FEEDS YOUR SOUL.) Hell, I don’t care if I’m “working” 80 hours as long as 76 of those hours are fun!

So, those of you that have been following me for a while - thus starts another chapter in Harris Fellman trying to define to himself what works best for him. Maybe some will work for you, maybe not. Thanks for stickin’ around - get ready for some more “Fun Harris” real soon.

Comments always welcome.
