You may say what is the relevance of this video here on this blog? What am I trying to achieve by posting it here..
My answer: this is a common problem every entrepreneur faces at some level. In the quest to make a lot of money, many ignore the fundamentals of life. Slowly they miss on paying their credit card bills and mortgage payments. Things like oil change, DMV registration payments, regular grocery shopping etc all are ignored on the pretext of “I am busy, I don’t have time”.
This video proves, I am not immune to it and yet I am not ashamed of it.. find out why..
Cannot Listen or raise the volume..:)- No Worries. Here is a word to word transcript of the video…
Friends, This is Srini Saripalli and I welcome you to another video of the day and on this video I want to do something really cool. I have not done this before and I want to show you what happens behind an Internet Marketer’s Office.
What you see on these videos is people talking and giving good advice to you, sometimes to sell their products and programs and things like that – like me- which I do quite often..:)-
But what you do not see is that they have to spend lot of sleepless nights and they work very hard and they are always behind on Office stuff. I am also myself very behind on a lot of stuff.
I want to show you on this video how chaotic it had been. Every time at the beginning of the year I try to clean up all the stuff for the previous year, I want to start new.
Today January the 5th and I am still behind on some stuff. It is pure chaos here in my Office and you can’t see this on this video. It looks very clean but the minute I move this camera little bit behind you will see what is going on. Let me move my camera and I show you what is happening here. Look at this.
Look at all the papers on the ground; I am cleaning up some garbage stuff I am supposed to categorize them. These papers here are categorized but then I am going to actually file them, I am going to respond to respond to somethings people want to, IRS wants some correspondence from me, some response to some of my tax filings and here they are, in fact I am right behind on my taxes too which is pretty bad and I want to advise you to do that.
Be punctual about taxes, be responsive to everything that you do and try to be a good business man and you know some of the checks I do deposit and I am completely behind. These are the people that paid me checks that I need to deposit and I don??™t have time to do that.
So that being said, here are some books that I have read in the previous year and that is about it. I wanted to show you how chaotic an Office could be and I am ashamed show it on a this video because I want you to take a lesson from all this.
Let me move this and let me spot my camera and I want to close this video hopefully you can see me. OK. Perfect. I don??™t know. I think I am in the frame. My head in the frame. Here you see what it is.
If you have a lot of clutter in your Office, don??™t worry about it and my message is take about- once in every month- may be an hour or so and clean up as much as you can and I do believe in Dan Kennedy’s statement and he says “Invention happens out of clutter” and that is true and more clutter around me I feel I am working a lot and good things happen and good things do come out of it.
But you know people are different. Some people do not want clutter around them. That is completely OK. My wife wants everything to be clean. To make her happy once in a while I clean everything and make it look good but please stay on top of this because if it goes beyond a point you will have to pay a lot of money some times , lot of fines and things like that. So be productive with your credit cards, be productive with your taxes, be on top of things.
I am making my mistakes and I am actually fixing them as I go. Today is January 5th and I wanted to face this off in 2008 itself but it kind of spilled over little bit. But that is OK. That was the message of this video. This is what I wanted to share with you and show you exactly what is going on behind these cameras and how I am trying to make myself productive.
So that being said Best of Luck and tell me if you like these videos that I am doing on what I am doing and if you like them I will come up with more videos and I will show you small little things that incrementally add value to your business.
I am going to see you again fairly quickly here.
Bye now.
