I put the offer on the 2 bedroom condo in Port Coquitlam. Unfortunately there is another person interested in it as well, so now we have to sit and wait  for the vendor to decide which offer he likes better.  This is a 2 bedroom loft/ penthouse suite for $199,000. Over 1000 square feet with a sweet  patio up top that is awesome. I really love this place and I would have no problem moving in myself (If I was single). The loft has amazing vaulted cathedral ceilings that gives you a really open feeling.  Anyways I took a bunch of photos so if/when  we get the place I can list it on Craigslist right away for renting. It should rent for $1500 - $1600. You can see the photos of the condo below, looks pretty sweet right?

Since Halloween is happening tomorrow evening (Friday night of all nights) I figure I would post some of my shots from the family visit to the Stanley Park Halloween train. We got there at about  6:15 PM and waited for 2 hours to actually get on the train. While we waited we walked around and checked out the “haunted farm”, face painting and a few other treats. I suggest getting there early, cause there were tons of people.

When you take the train ride expect people to jump out at you from the bushes, there are people all over the place when you take the train ride. They did a really good job putting this event together and was well thought out. Overall it was fun to check it out, but waiting a couple hours in the cold with 2 kids was a challenge, lol.

Tomorrow afternoon Burnaby Heights in North Burnaby is having the annual Halloween on the Heights. Basically the kids go trick or treating to all the business between Willingdon and Boundary road on Hastings street.

Today I’m taking the day off, sort of. My parents along with my brother, his wife step daughter, my brother n law and my wifes sister and nice and nephew, my mother in law and my brother n laws mother are all coming here for a ThanksGiving dinner at 3 PM. The weather is pretty sh*tty outside, and I don’t feel like going to MetoTown Mall again (for the 3rd time this week). I have enough Puma gear to last me for a year now.

The great thing about winter is that everyone is indoors, so the sales start getting better and better. Bad weather is my business partner, so in one way I look forward to miserable gray rainy days. Besides the financial part of it, it’s kind of nice to have all the 4 seasons. If it was hot and sunny every single day, hmm? I would probably get tired of it after awhile.

Today in Vancouver the weather is drizzly and that is just fine with me. Later on I think I’m going to pop in “Get Smart” in the dvd player and relax after late lunch/early dinner.

A lack of posts can only mean one thing, the weather must be hot and sunny! And, yes it is finally warm in Vancouver. I am spending more time outdoors, yard work, walks around English Bay and spending time with family. And even if I wanted to work, Google told me to get lost. Sometimes the best thing you can do is to nothing at all. You get to clear out your head, and unwind and then comeback full blast, better and stronger than before.

I still have my goal of $20,000 per month from my investment properties one way or another it will happen. Just let the law of attraction works it’s magic as always, ask and you shall receive. Anyways…………….

Time to sit back and watch “Made Of Honor”, yeah a chick flick. Patrick Dempsey is in it, it doesn’t look too bad actually. A romantic comedy, it’s a good way to unwind and relax after the kids fall asleep. Approximate time till movie kids will sleep and we watch the movie (36 minutes). It’s 9:24 pm right now.

Does Any One Know What These Flowers Are Called?

Taken on Smith Avenue in Burnaby on July 14, 2008, with my trusty Canon SD750

About one week ago, I posted about my AdWords account being suspended obviously I wasn’t very happy about the situation but I learned to live with it. I couldn’t do anything about it. One thing I have learned with working online for the past 5 years is to take everything that happens good and bad and learn from it.

You can make huge money online, and I have done my fair share. With this latest situation, it was unexpected however I learned from it. With every drawback I have ever had online I came back stronger and I made more money  after the “crisis”, this last AdWords fiasco is going to be no different.

After I basically had a heart attack from being “suspended from AdWords”, I started thinking about how I can get back on the railroad to success. Since I already have the tracks laid out for me, it is just a matter of jumping into the engineers seat and taking control of the train . I am basically set and ready to go full speed ahead.

My goals haven’t changed I still want my to buy investment properties to make me my $20 k per month, I am already 25% of the way there. That part is easy and I know where to buy , it’s just a matter of when I want to make the down payments and but my Vancouver condo apartments.

Nothing is going to stop me, nothing. I have worked way to hard to stop and kickback now. A drawback is just that a drawback, it’s not the end of the world, unless you think it is.  I have gone through so many online drawbacks online, it’s insane. You definitely need tough skin and perseverance to work online. The problem with giving up is this, you will never what could have become because you just let it go. You went back to playing your Guitar Hero, or you went back to watch SeinFeld.

You need to realize many times the answers to your questions are right in front of you, you just need to find the answers. Finding the answers is sometimes easy and sometimes really tough, but either way it’s there waitng for you to find it. The question is this, do you have the faith in yourself to find the answers to move forward?

I don’t consider myself a scholar by any means. Hell I only graduated grade 12 and went to a local computer college for web design. Oh and I also have a certificate as a journeyman cabinet maker. Something more important that schooling is smarts, is YOUR ability to trust yourself and your instincts.  You need to have balls, taking risks to succeed is critical. The more chances you take, the better chance you have of making tons of cash online. And “paralysis analysis” is another huge problem for tons of people. They know how to do pay per click, they know all the terms and everything. But they never get started, why? Paralysis analysis…..

If I never quit my job as a cabinet maker making $17.27 per hour back in 1989, where would I be right now? It scares me to think about it actually.  You need to consider, the risk and then decide what are the consequences, and if it’s worth taking the chance.

Ans don’t listen to the naysayers, they are usually the ones who have never taken a chance in their whole lives. Boring people who offer nothing but negative criticism. Yeah I’m babbling on now.

Here is the bottom line

I don’t know what you think you can do or what you can think I can do, but remember this. The only thing holding you back from anything is you. Yeah, yeah I know things get in the way, but if you want something bad enough you can have it. I’m going to come back even stronger than before, don’t let anyone hold you back EVER, not even yourself.

Where are you going to be in 5 years from now? Start writing down your goals, so you know………
