I gotta tell you, I’m a bit weepy after watching his last show today. Why? Well, I’m a sucker for sappy music and slow-motion montages, plus, you know, ZE is THAT good. It sucks this run is over.
You can watch ZE’s first show one year ago here. My only solace is that I can be sure of meeting ZE in person and seeing him speak at the Affiliate Summit this summer in Miami. Bring it ZE, I know you will.
Thanks for the content and follow through, you have no idea how much what you have done has inspired me, on multiple levels.
Oh yeah, Happy St. Patrick’s day to everyone.

Business Around A Lifestyle
The world changed on 9/11 in so many different ways. Since that day, there has been a major shift happening in the way people think and live their lives. Sure, many people still chase the dollar as their ultimate goal. However, many more people have begun to realize that the world could, well, end tomorrow.
That's why people are choosing to pursue a business around a lifestyle, instead of a lifestyle controlled by their business. It makes sense, right? If the world was going to end tomorrow, would you still try to live your life in a way you never wanted to?
Take a look around you and you'll see that this shift to becoming a lifestyle entrepreneur is being adopted by more and more people every day. Some of those people are falling into it because they have been laid off from their jobs and are literally forced into it. Some of those people just figure out a way to make it happen because of the "end of the world" thinking mentioned above.
it’s always amazed me that the best things are those that have both beginnings and clearly defined ends.
-the beatles
-concerts
-state fairs
-the best pizza in the world
i call it the “apocalypse effect” in the classes i teach when i explain that the “all good things must end” sentimentality is deeply ingrained in our hardwiring and the things that do end tend to have more of a lasting impact than something which doesn’t know it’s supposed to stop.
there’s a lesson in there somewhere for online marketing as well.

That only comes to an end for as long as you are away from NYC.
