Hey Mom :)

My day didn’t end until 11 pm tonight. I want to call you to tell you about my day but I know you’re asleep. I just want you to know that today I put in a solid 13 hours into the biggest project for the biggest client of my life and it all went very well. Everything I’m doing is for you and Dad and my grandparents.

I will succeed and will continue to grow. You taught me consideration Mom and Dad taught me patience. And Great Grandma Eleanor gave me the best birthday gift ever. My future is great because she gave me that computer.

I’m rambling but I just wanted to tell you thank you and I love you and everyday I strive to progress in order to buy you that house.

I’ll never give up. Sweet dreams Mom.

Mooch is Kicking Butt in May

Posted on May 12, 2012 by Mooch

Today is what… May 12th. Hey it’s my brother’s bday! Happy Birfday buddy!! We’re only in the second month of May and I’ve already made big headway with my business. I sold an upgrade website package to a current client, sold a second website package to another client, landed a new client last week, landed another new client via barter (personal trainer) and landed another one last night. And the client I landed last night will most likely be the biggest one I’ve ever had.

60 package designs in 7 days – that’s the deadline. It’s a rush order, but I can do it. The client’s regular graphic artist just had a baby, and is out of commission for awhile. So after finding another designer for her products and taking them here to FedEx Office, the employees told her the quality and measurements are all wrong, and she couldn’t print the designs. This is when the employee recommend she contact me to design her products. 2 days later, I sat down with the small business owner, who sells gift wrapping, bags, cards and much more in several major grocery and retail chains.

According to my new client, I could see my designs in stores like Safeway, Vons, Target and more as early as August. I think that’s pretty cool.

So I will be working on pretty much nothing but these designs for the next 7 days. If you think I’m hiding from you, you’re probably right, but I have a good excuse. :)

Here’s to progress.

It’s time to get into Summertime Shape!

Posted on May 11, 2012 by Mooch

I do my best to at least take daily vitamins to help me stay somewhat healthy, since I literally work every hour of the day when I’m not sleeping. It’s difficult for me to eat right or eat anything on a regular basis. So I go to GNC maybe once every few months to get everything from multivitamins to fish oil to protein powder etc.

This past week I met the owner of the local GNC store and noticed he was in really good shape, so I asked if he was a trainer. After he confirmed, I offered to build him a website. Turns out he’s always wanted a website to help teach his clients and sell products online, but never knew how. So I proposed an idea to him; help me eat right, get into shape and take the right vitamins, and I’ll build you a website, show you how it works, create a logo, business cards etc. I basically offered him a complete branding package in hopes he’d agree to bartering our services together which will certainly benefit the both of us.

He agreed.

Starting today, I am on a new vitamin, food and work-out regimen by a certified personal trainer. :) It’s time for me to buck up and pay attention to my health and get into shape as I plan on being more active in local and global communities with this new fundraising project.

Posted on May 10, 2012 by Mooch

Last night I came up with the idea to raise $11,000 by October 10th, 2012 which is the international World Homeless Day. The video above is me brainstorming fresh ideas right before your eyes. You’re going to decide where this money goes so it is delivered to the organization, the cause, the school, the family etc. which rightfully deserves it.
