So one of my good martial arts buddies in China has been a DJ for several years and has always loved writing songs and rapping, etc.

Well in the past few years he’s transformed himself into a total underground Hip Hop Artist. He’s actually completed a ton of songs, and will finally get his album out on stores.

Anyways, check out his stuff here http://xennightz.com/enigma_review_kit/ he’s giving out the album for free for halloween.

Speaking of halloween… what will I be doing this halloween? Yup, that’s right. I will be working on my fashion site, trying to recruit several writers to boost our SEO, of which it’s been going great. We already rank on page 1 for our main keyword and have number 1 rankings for several other profit-bringing keywords. Things are great and getting better. Anyways, I will also be setting up several more blogs for our business, as well as trying to get bloggers to write about us .

Finally, plans are on the way to start a new business. Which will be a small business consulting, where I will help small business owners rank highly for google and yahoo and other search engines so that they may be easily found when their clients are trying to look for their products. Gonna be great!

I recently had the great pleasure of catching up with current U.S. wushu champion Alfred Hsing and finding out his motivations in wushu, and the keys to his wushu success. This motivated a series of martial arts tips on how to succeed in life in his blog. The success lessons he learned in wushu and business can be applied to any endeavor so make sure you read up on them. Below I have reorganized the information slightly and created an acronym to easily remember the points. Here you will find just a quick summary, but get to his blog to read the full article:

Success in Wushu can be Summarized with the acronym WUSHU:

1) W for Work – Be consistent and work smarter/harder than the rest.

2) U is for Undeterred and Unchanging Focus – when you are working, give it your undivided attention and focus on the work at hand by eliminating distractions. Also, focus on one goal at a time, and don’t move on until you have completed the goal at hand.

3) S is for Sleep and Recovery – Get rest and have time for just fun- You will come back much more refreshed and more effective.

4) H is for Heroes – Surround yourself with people who are getting the results you want and learn from them. Surround yourself with the Heroes, be they Zhao Qingjian, Wu Di, or Bill Gates, Peter Drucker, Jack Welch, Kotter, Brad Fallon, etc.

5) U is for Unique and Undisturbed Environment – Immerse yourself in the appropriate environment – Don’t make your workplace the same as your “rest” place. Make sure you have a place where you can just focus on work, a workplace that is only used for work, and where you can concentrate solely on work.

Anyways, check out his great article on some great stories on how this lead to him becoming number 1 spot on the U.S. wushu team.
