It's All Good Friday

It's All Good!

Yayeeee! Today is a "holiday" my friend and I created called " All Good Friday"!!

It's explained here.

I've been taking my brand VERY SERIOUS lately. paying close attention to all my metrics, seeing:

1. Who's watching, 
2. When are they watching and 
3. What are they watching 

 I found that my biggest audience ( according to YouTube) are Males aged 35 - 44 years young. This makes sense since ( see what I did there?) I'M in that age group...BUT..I want more..

I do daily videos, have The Inky Mann Show ( Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 6 pm EST), this blog and other things to build The Inkyatix ( pronounced Inky Addicts) Community..Hell, I even have a newsletter ( which you can get in on...see that thing in the upper right hand corner asking for YOUR email?)!

I need to do more. I'm thinking events, remote broadcasting, maybe even a Podcast.

In the meantime..check out this video I did today..I think YOU'LL enjoy it..be it man or woman..

Gots To Get My Body Back!

I read this article about losing 100 pounds.

Great stuff.

It had 17 tips and one tip struck a chord with me. The reason being that I thought of that at work this morning! The tip: Use An App. They brought up My Fitness Pal ( I have an Android) and I immediately downloaded it!

I love what I see. It allows you to keep a diary of what you eat - and that is where I am at the time of this writing.

I remember when I was HEAVY into fitness, going to the gym, etc. I used to call it Operation: Sexy Mann...that's where the pic/video above comes from.

I put up another video on my Facebook profile. feel free to check it out here.

I was thinking about getting back to the Insanity workout. i've tried it before and posted the info on a different blog YEARS ago. Check that out here. I remember it was tough..BUT..I saw results!

That work out really shredded the weight!

aaaaye..

The Inky Mann Show

As you may know I debuted The Inky Mann Show on YouTube this past Monday. The second episode airs tonight at 6 pm EST.

I had an okay turn out...but I need to promote it a lot better.

I have a Facebook page dedicated to it, if you'd like to check that out here. I put episodes in there, as well, to see what brings me the most views.

So far, at the time of this writing, Facebook is winning.

My next step with this show: Monetization!

The Challenger of the 46 Lb Challenge

They say I know how to pick 'em.

I figured since this weight loss challenge is growing legs, I decided to introduce The Inkyats to my challenger/ contender/ opponent.

I put up a video on my Facebook profile which is an edited version. Go check it out here.

Me: No Shave November 2017

I'm really starting to feel this launch coming up Monday!

I'm really "going hard"with this new show. I believe it may have somewhat of a slow start, as far as getting the views I want, BUT it will cone to the point I'd like sooner than later.

I'm really feeling that.

As I type this, I'm beginning to see what building a team will do for me. It's gonna be something I'm not really used to, but must be done. I have "too many irons in the fire"( as my Mom says).

A VERY good friend of mine, and a supporter of all things I do, got a camera for me from Amazon. At the moment, I'm waiting for it to arrive. She got it without me knowing. I gotta say, when she told me about it, I wasn't too happy about it because it was something I was going to do. She's that type of person who wants to see people happy, so, when we had a talk and I was talking about me getting one she took it upon herself to do it.

Should I be upset about this?

well..anyway, when it gets here I will be using the shit out of it..you can believe that!

3:22 pm

I made a video in regards to Trump today. Click here to see it.

6:09pm

It's here!

Watch out world!

I wanna play with it..but I have to get ready for my "925"..but..this weekend promises to be a good time for it!

You ever have that feeling in your gut when you feel something BIG is gonna happen?

That's how I feel - right NOW! I'm in the process of launching my new show : The Inky Mann Show. In the process, I'm doing quasi-daily videos ( Inqronicles) on Facebook  to keep my fan base, The Inkyatix, in tuned with me. In this online game, if you're trying to stay relevant, being missing just a few days can take weeks to get your people back.

Believe me, I know..

Anyway, I did a video speaking on a controversial topic and got some pretty good feedback! I also did a video talking about a weight loss race I'm having with a friend of mine (Goal: who could lose 46 lbs first) that is getting some pretty good feedback, as well.

Seeing the feedback is what is giving me this feeling in my gut that I'm almost where I want to be!

It's hard, but fun, being a one "mann" band, because I don't have the luxury to slack and let my team do things. I mean, I REALLY want to go downstairs and watch last night's episode of Empire!

I totally believe that I can do many things at once and strive to do that..BUT I will be enlisting a team - SOON!

Yesterday, a real good close friend and I were talking self-improvement. Very good convo. We decided we were going to race to lose 46 pounds.

Even though it's a race, it's only called that for motivation. We don't want to make one another feel bad if one is doing better than the other, BUT there has to be something in place (she actually wanted some sort of prize..lol..)

I'm looking to start this program for my diet. I'm hoping to look like the "mann" below:

I'm writing this listening to a song called The Fez ( Steely Dan) feeling great !

It's Friday, so...

I'm developing a new show and preparing for the launch. I'll admit at times, I don't want to do the show, BUT I KNOW this is an evil force ( some say the devil) trying to stop me. I mean, i have an incredible sense of procrastination and it's trying to creep its way in.

Fuggdat!

This year I'm being very creative:

• Cooking more
• Creating artwork for denim jackets
• Blogging
• Vlogging ( video blogging, for the unenlightened)

I'm in BEAST MODE ..

I'm on a mission to retire at 50. They way I figure it..I need $3.3M to do this. How did I come up with this? I figured each year I'll multiply my age times two and that number will be how many thousand I need that year. Nifty, huh?

I forgot where I got this from..but..yeah

I'm also trying to get what Dame Dash calls "The Octopus Model" in place. The name comes from having 8 streams of income. If one stream is cut off..I'll still have 7 streams going. 

PURE entrepreneurship!

My "Mann" Al Jabra rockin' a couple of my designs

So, I'm building my "Octopus":

1. My 9 to 5 ( which I won't name because they don't pay me for that)
2. Inxpot Online ( my Shopify store)
3. Blogging (like this and others) and
4. Vlogging 

As you can see..I need a few more..

6:00pm

I gotta get ready for work. If it weren't for some of the benefits, I'd hate this job. The job is not hard. Going to work is...

Especially on Fridays working overnight. I wanna go out and have fun just like all those who don't work overnight! I wanna be able to do whatever is is I want!

I MUST work harder at my 3 freedoms:

1. Financial
2. Location
3. Time
