Rob is a happily married husband and father of a daughter and son, an online entrepreneur (his content includes his Dad joke videos with his son and also his Dad Jokes and Memes) and works full time for a virtualization software development company from his home office.
His key to success with making all the important parts of his life fit together and work is managing his time effectively. Trello and the Pomodoro method are his two favorite tools to help him focus and accomplish his goals.
Rob reserves his time in the early morning before anyone else in the household is awake for reading and reflection. Thank you again Rob for taking the time to talk with me and share your journey.
This interview with Zoltán, also known as @ph1102 on the blockchain, was recorded on 2/17/2021.
Zoltán does not work in an offline job so his days are devoted to his online business which is mainly content creation. He divides his day into morning, afternoon and evening tasks.
Mornings are for the gaming portion of his Hive journey. His favorite games are Splinterlands and Rising Star. But the gaming isn't just for fun. Afternoons are for spending time on Hive engaging with others in the community by curating and commenting on posts with the hope of inspiring some people who are hesitant to jump in and start creating their own content. Both the morning and afternoon activities are sources of ideas for his content creation which he does in the evening by recording video blog posts on his evening walks.
He spends his off time learning new things and getting new ideas or outdoors in nature fishing when the weather permits.
Thank you for spending some of your 1440 sharing your online journey with us, Zoltán.
This interview with Bradley, also known as @bradleyarrow, on the blockchain was recorded on January 18th, 2021 while he was in his car on his way to his day job.
Bradley fits working his online business in the time he has before work and in the evening. In this time he creates content including a vlog and a typed blog post on Hive and engages with other peoples' posts by upvoting, curating, and commenting. He runs a curation trail on Hive Vote and whoever follows that curation trail automatically gets their posts upvoted and upvotes other posts. Because you can't be online twenty fours hours a day and curation is a very important part of the Hive community.
Bradley is also an author of the I Am Alive ebook that was created to go along with the I Am Alive Challenge. Bradley is another example of the fact that it is very possible and doable to run a business online with whatever time you have available in your day and are willing to devote to it.
Thank you for taking the time to chat with me about how you prioritize your days.
This interview with Erik, who is also known as @flaxz on the blockchain, was recorded on 1/16/2021. I got to know Erik last year in March 2020 when he started the I Am Alive Challenge on Hive after COVID-19 changed the world. It was a way for us to start learning how to create videos and stay consistent with creating content online. Erik is also the creator of the Luke Is Alive Challenge and the Mobile Cash Formula.
Erik manages all of his online projects while also working an offline job.
Thank You again, Erik for taking some of your day to talk with me and share your entrepreneurial journey.
This interview was recorded on 1/14/2021! Russell is known as @russellstockley on the blockchain. His offline job like those of many other people was affected by COVID-19.

Three of Russell's regular daily posts on CTPtalk are contests that give participants a chance to win CTP tokens and Hive tokens by upvoting and engaging on the posts with a comment.
Thank you again, @russellstockley for taking the time to talk with me and share your entrepreneurial journey.

Achim, who is known as achim03, and I had a nice talk about his online and offline businesses. His offline business has been put on pause because of the pandemic so he has been able to put more time into his online business projects.
Achim comes from a family of entrepreneurs so he has been involved in businesses in one form or another for most of his life. He is the creator of the CTP Swarm Tribe/Community on Hive and the CTP Swarm Booster token. He also has a family of his own for whom he makes sure to allocate some of his 1440 minutes each day.
This interview was recorded on 1/9/2021. This is the first time I had the pleasure of speaking with Rosyel who lives in Manila in the Philippines and is known as @iamraincrystal on the blockchain. Until then we have been interacting by commenting on and curating each other's content. When we spoke it was her Saturday night and the start of her weekend and my Saturday was just getting started.
It was fun getting to know her and some personal things about her too like how she got her name and how to pronounce it.
Rosyel is building her online business while working at a job six days a week.
She balances her schedule and makes sure that she has set aside a few hours each night to devote to building her online business which includes creating the awesome content she publishes to our CTP and other communities.
Thank you again, Rosyel for taking the time to talk with me and share your entrepreneurial journey.

I interviewed Michael while he was on his route and waiting to make a delivery. Michael is another example of someone who wants to build his business and does so with every free minute he has. He loves being able to help other people who are trying to find a way out of their jobs and gain financial freedom for themselves and a better future for their loved ones as well.
Really appreciate Michael taking the time to talk with me.

Jenn is very active in these communities engaging with other members and lifting up new members by leaving comments on and upvoting their posts. She is also a comment moderator for the This Is Awesome project and is quite a prolific creator of many different types of content on the Hive blockchain.

They have been online since 1999 and it all started with an ebook called The Contact List Builder. They also share their wisdom and experience on a weekly training webinar on Thursdays at Noon EST.
Consistently focusing on building their list and brand is the "secret" to their business success. This allows them to have time offline to spend with their family and friends.

Today on My 1440 I am talking with Eliana Gomes, @elianaicgomes, who is the owner of the CTP Blueprint and the Customer Support person for Click Track Profit. The CTP Blueprint for those of you who are not familiar with it is the guide to all the lessons in the back office of Click Track Profit. Eliana created it to help new members of Click Track Profit focus on a starting point and guide them step by step. She has just celebrated her Halfversary (6 months) as the owner of the CTP Blueprint.
Eliana is a Mompreneur and prioritizes spending time with and being present for her soon to be 3-year-old son. This sometimes means she has to sacrifice time sleeping at night to get her marketing tasks done which is what she chooses to do.
If you're new to Click Track Profit and confused about finding your way around or just need to revisit the lessons in an orderly way you should check out the CTP Blueprint. It's free to join and has a printable guide that you can download as well.
This interview with Blain was recorded on November 24th 2020.
Blain, @blainjones is the co owner with Jon Olson, @jongolson of Affiliatech and Click Track Profit.
I had a nice talk with him last night about how he structures his day, the tools he uses to keep himself organized, the importance of taking planned breaks and other valuable tips and tricks for getting the most out of the time we are all given.
Blain is running his business along side a full time job.
This interview was recorded on 11/27/2020. I am talking with Jon Olson, @jongolson who is the co owner of Affiliatech and Click Track Profit with Blain Jones, @blainjones. This is actually a redo of our interview. There were technical difficulties with the first try and Jon is a really good sport and happily agreed to give it another go.
Jon credits journaling with keeping himself organized and focused. He writes down three main goals/tasks that he wants to accomplish each day and works on them until they are completed. Knowing what you are good at, enjoy doing and how you add value to your customers is super important for making the best use of your time.
