The Secrets To Our Success

written by John Chow on May 6, 2009

Make Money!

Recently, My Micro Fund conducted a ten questions and answers interview with myself and Shoemoney. We were both sent the same ten questions to find out how much our views differ from each other. I never saw Shoe’s answers and he never saw mine. The questions range from how often do you floss to how much money do you make online.

It is said that successful people think very much a like and this interview definitely re-enforces that notion. A person who doesn’t understand the principles of success may conclude that Shoe and I got together and made up the answers, especially to the question asking what we attribute most of our success to.

Success has more to do with how you think than what you do. You will become successful when you acquire the mindset of a successful person. The major reason why a person stays broke is because they have a broke mindset. So what are the secrets to our success? Based on the answers Shoe and I supplied, My Micro Fun drew this conclusion.

You can conclude from this interview that if you want to be a serious money making blogger like Jeremy Schoemaker and John Chow, you will need to floss daily, enjoy food, get married, love your wife, be asleep between midnight to 6am and most importantly, without a question, to choose the internet over sex.

In bed by 12 am? I wish I could go to sleep that early. Most of the times I find myself working on my blog and promoting until 6 or 7 am. Well I usually don't get tired until then. I'm a new blogger so a few months ago I would have gone with sex, but I don't know if I can say that now.

So what were those question ? Please tell us I am sure my way of thinkiing can also compare with you.

Nice interview. I prefer short interviews like this that get to the meat of the matter.

Michael Zhao’s last blog post: Second Day of Training.

nice point that's particularly true because i wouldn't be here myself

Floss daily - I can do that.
Enjoy food - always.
Get married - ???
Love your wife - N/A.
Be asleep between midnight to 6am - easy!
Choose the internet over sex - how about online porn?
lol :D
Thanks for the tips!

I think that you should not make excuses ... If you fail try harder. The one who make excuses is bound to fail.

Good interview John

Wow Mr Chow, you are an inspiration to me, I've only got a small blog where I write about self development and my experiences, and still uinder 50 subscribers, but the fact alone that I have an audience makes it worthwhile for me to write. At some point I would love to actually get an income from my blog...but then I drastically think i need to promote it more and get more readers.

How do I go about that?
I leave comments on other blogs, got my blog on mhy email, my social networking sites, but wow, i cant seem to get much new traffic!

This fit me well! It means I'm on the way to become a top blogger in the years to come. Think positive, never give up, never put reasons why you are not sucessful etc.
Hard work alone won't make you rich. There are a lot of things to take into consideration in order to reach the top of the pyramid.

Benjamin Cip’s last blog post: Where Is The Best Place To Display Ads?

Being sucessful is very much hard these days on Internet, everynext person can think of being famous across the internet but very few people like Shoe Money, John Chow, Zac johnson can actually get taste of it. The only reason behind this is their hard work and mind set to become successful people at any given cost.

Ricky Peterson’s last blog post: Make Social Media and SEO Exposure Beneficial

John Chow and Shoemoney also share 3 CRUCIAL similarities which explain their success:

They constantly reinvest in their business

They are SERIOUS about their business--it is not a hobby.

They genuinely like to start conversations with their readers--this builds loyalty as well as tons of backlinks from bloggers the world over.

interesting points my friend you sure taught me a lot myself i might need to do it as well

Everybody wants to be successful but route to success is always tough.

I think successful people has millionaire mindset!!

I knew I was missing a valuable step for success. Thanks for clearing up how valuable flossing is to being successful :).

Cam Birch’s last blog post: Ethics in Business

Internet vs. Sex. Well, both provide pleasure, but only one can bring in LEGIT money. Of course there's always prostitution, but who would want to do that?

great point since money can lead people to outrageous situations

Flossing everyday, damn that's what I was getting wrong!

Michael@TheBloggerSource’s last blog post: TwitterFollower - Follow And Be Followed

Good work, I like your working style , I like to be that , but in my country , the electric payment is very high and always power cut , what is the matter if I am working and the power is cut ? Maybe I will leave my place next to your house to work like you.Huh huh

Thank you for your experience

The internet over sex...damn lol..

Melody’s last blog post: Congrats to my fellow AzoogleAds winners!

i definitely say so no girl out there has made it enjoyable enough to satisfy my needs

Read the interview - was fun seeing a bit of insight from your daily life. Do you think we might possibly become even more successful if we floss twice daily? Or will that just leave us with no gums?

Interesting thought. ;-)

Internet over Sex??? that's funny. How about braking paradigms, patience, consistency and hard work?

Asswass’s last blog post: Asswass Launch Promotion: Weekly Review Posts

i certainly prefer the internet over sex because to me sex isn't everything its just a feeling and you need to have the desire or be in the mood to certainly take advantage of it but when your busy all the time or just plain tired sex is the last thing anyone would want.

social bookmarking demon’s last blog post: Review Of The Email Messenger “Mostly Known” As AWEBER

That is so true! It seems that people can't realize that yet. If you keep thinking about negative things, you will always be on that level. I Definitely chose the internet over sex. I guess that's why my woman gets mad at me all the time. :D

Reggi D.’s last blog post: Advantages of Submitting Articles to ArticlesBase

yeah but women are everywhere they aren't going anywhere as were a limited species as in terms of women since they outnumber us 2 to 1 while the internet has a lot more things that can be said and done and its great for interacting just like in the real world except cyberally.

good post John. Those that are broke stay broke because of their broke mentality.

...lol...internet over sex...your not THAT old already are you? I guess with sex out of the equation, the mind does function more clearly! lol.

Come on, surely you know that the Internet can lead to sex. However, sex doesn't lead to the Internet. :P

Darn, I thought it was the other way around.

RealTruthMLM’s last blog post: The Truth About the MLM Misrepresentations - Part 1

haha..good point...

Aman@BullsBattleBears’s last blog post: Win a 40″ Samsung LCD HDTV!!

OSHO say , success comes when you start preferring something over sex.

I've heard that private sex tapes have occasionally ended up to internet for everybody to download. Looks like it works both ways.

so true but yet others fail to see or believe it otherwise

well their are people that are broke and are trying to do something about it but they just don't know how or where to start

John do you actually sleep? It seems like you are always on the Internet :)

Vik Dulat’s last blog post: It’s how much you save, not how much you make

Of course I sleep but my computer doesn't. That's why you see me online all the time. My computer is on but I'm not. :)

Really John? Your computer never sleeps. Oh I was amazed in your revelation. That's why you are also one of the top bloggers online.
