Fame and Fortune are Coming Your Way

Fame and Fortune are Coming Your Way

Fame and Fortune are Coming Your Way

Seems pretty straightforward. I just have to sit and wait for fame and fortune to happen, excuse me for bringing back a phrase from Wayne’s World, NOT! No one sits on their ass and is handed a fortune unless a rich relative kicks off and believe me that isn’t gonna happen to this non famous blogger. The name Mohegan is the favorite “Sun” in these parts.

Plan of Action

You want fame and fortune you have to work for it and you have to work hard. If you are part of the make money crowd then you figure that within a year you’ll be at John Chow status, not likely. Maybe if you wear T-shirts each week and shave your head you’d be as famous as shoemoney, wrong again. These guys had to work to get where they are. They’ve worked so hard to attain their notorious noteworthy statuses that whatever they do now looks like they aren’t working at all.

Learn as Much as You Can

I see so many people start off talking the talk but they cannot walk the walk. They do not take the time to learn from those who have gone before. Sure they have downloaded and read every e-book that is out there but they haven’t actually learned anything. Learning comes from experience, the trying and failing and getting back up to try again. Because the road is long and paved with failures many people will give up. Only those who continue to learn, adapt and evolve will be fortunate enough to attain that which they are seeking.

What Makes You an Expert?

I’m no expert, I’m not even a Famous Blogger. I just have the ability to look at things realistically and see the trends I’ve been seeing for the past 5 years and those who don’t learn, adapt and evolve constantly tend to stagnate and quit. So, that was today’s FortunateBluFrog Message. What do you think gets people to that point where they attain fame and fortune?

Traditional Media embracing New Media

In case you missed my post about being Frontpaged by my local newspaper about Blogs, Brews and Belly Laughs then here is the article, which you can also read here.

I’ve been seeing bloggers in the news lately and it looks very much like Traditional Media is listening to New Media and learning a thing or two.

Traditional Media is finally getting on board with New Media. The latest darling of Traditional Media is New Media star Twitter. Twitter is the subject of news broadcasts. Twitter is being used by everyone from Ellen to Projo.com to get the word out and interact with people. Being a user of twitter for a while now I find the whole Twitter love lately pretty funny. However the Twitter backlash is even funnier.
