With all of the talk about the new iPhone 4 over the last few weeks, I’d like to review one of the most beneficial tools I’ve used on my travels: the iPod Touch with the new iOS4 (Iphone Operating System 4). The iPod Touch has always been like the Jan Brady of the Apple lineup. It never seems to get as much attention as it’s siblings Macbook Pro and Iphone. Too bad really. If you’ve been around for awhile you may remember me finally, after years of resisting, giving up my faux pod for a brand new iPod Touch. Essentially it’s turned out to be one of the best purchases of my life. Luckily I bought it when I did, because

Being an entrepreneur is a constant struggle. I’ve never met a single true entrepreneur who wasn’t always looking for the next big thing. It doesn’t matter how little free time they have, or what the state is of their current projects, they are always open to new possibilities. This can be both a good and a bad thing, but for me personally it’s left me a little overwhelmed throughout the past week. Right as I was in the midst of finishing up my first premium product here at Location 180, I decided it would be a great time to start a new venture! I’ve had an idea to start this site for the last few months, and I finally decided

Have you ever had an”oh shit” moment in your life? You know, one of those moments where something something so bad happens, that the the only thing you can think of to do is say “oh shit”. Or perhaps cry. Well let me just say, earlier this week I was the closest to tears I’ve been in a long, long time. It all started simply enough with me trying to install WordPress on a new site that I’ve started. It’s an easy process that I’ve done a dozen times, but for some reason this time around I felt compelled to try and give myself a heart attack. I’m at a point now where I have quite a few different domains

This is a guest post by JD Bentley of Wage Slave Rebel. He has just recently launched his new blog coaching course, which you can check out at Idea Anarchy. In July of 2009 I decided to take a risk. I registered a domain name, bought some hosting and wrote two weeks worth of posts for Wage Slave Rebel, a blog I wanted to create as a way to document my entrepreneurial aspirations and to help inspire other people to start moving toward doing what they love. I’d tried to start a blog many times before this but had only mustered up enough effort to earn myself a series of outright failures. Wage Slave Rebel was going to be different,

This is a guest post from blogger and photographer Matt Koenig. I asked Matt to write for me because he is going through the exact same things I struggled with, and I know many of you are struggling with now. He is on his way to overcoming his uncertainties and has really helped me clarify my thinking for my upcoming book on the subject. I highly recommend you check out his photography blog, and wish him luck as he tries to make some big changes by the end of the year! All photos in this article were taken by Matt. Have you ever really wanted to do something, I mean really wanted to do something, but you missed out on

Things have really been ramping up over here in Asia lately. I really had no idea what to expect when I came out to Manila. All I really knew about it, was that I worked with a bunch of people who live here, and that the city is basically a dirtier, less fun version of California. Well, whoever told me that was a LIAR. Ok maybe not about the dirtier part. That said, I’ve had a blast here working with the team and Dan in particular. The culmination of this was fun was when we headed up to Subic Bay a few days ago with Sean #2, the owner of Badladz resort in Puerto Galera. Sean is playing a key

Have you ever had something you’ve really wanted to learn how to do, but couldn’t seem to pry yourself away from work long enough to actually get it done? Yeah, me too. My whole life I’ve had an interest in photography. I’ve always wanted the ability to be able to capture the photo that would make people say “wow”. However, up until recently I never really put much effort into it. My high school photography teacher told me that my pinhole camera was one of the worst constructed she’d ever seen – needless to say that class left me slightly disillusioned. More importantly, I think I always thought that I had to have a decent camera in order to be
