Debriefing: May 2010 (Contest Winner Announced)

by | 3 minute read

Wow, is the launch over already?

The week flew right by as thousands of people stopped by Riskology.co to see what it’s all about and leave their comment on the world debut contest for a chance to win a really cool prize package.

Speaking of which, the esteemed judges have poured over all the amazing entries and selected a winner (I fired the trained chimps after learning that they couldn’t read).

Let’s all congratulate Floreta who’s currently hanging out at a monastery in SE Asia trying to figure out how turn her graphic design degree into a business.

Floreta, here’s what you’ve won:

Thanks so much to everyone that entered. You’re all amazing.

After arm wrestling the judges for a winner and realizing that I couldn’t give the package away to everyone, I decided to do the next best thing. If you purchase the complete Unconventional Guide to Working for Yourself ($79) through my link above, I’ll give you the same month of email start-up support that our winner is getting. Just forward your email receipt to tyler.tervooren [at] gmail [dot] com and we’ll get started.

This is just a quick no-pressure offer, but if you’re interested, you should probably move fast because I won’t offer this for very long due to the time it will take to personally help each person for a month.

Note: This offer is no longer available. All full!

*****

Every new month (starting right now) we’ll look back at the last one and do a little debriefing about what’s happened around Riskology.co. If you’ve missed anything, this is great place to catch up.

From the Blog

In May, I talked about how my greatest successes are usually failures, I announced that Riskology.co is now uncopyrighted, and I revealed one rule to know before breaking all the rules.

I also wrote a tutorial on recruiting your perfect mentor, asked “How do you want to feel?,” and talked about the importance of talking to strangers.

Finally, I wrote a guide on how to be an artist, published 26.2 steps for running your first marathon, and uncovered the 4 simple steps to the best job in the world.

Incoming!

Last month was great, but next month is going to be even better! Here’s a sneak peak of what’s coming up for the rest of June:

  • A 5 part series deconstructing the process of taking really awesome risks and how to get the very most out of them. Generally speaking – do the opposite of what you think you should. I’ll explain more later.
  • An article on when to gamble and when to invest (yes, you should be doing both regularly), and
  • A story about the day that I bought $15,000 (yep, you read that right) and made $300 in the process. You can do it, too.

But most of all, I’m really excited about a free resource I’m working on to help everyone out there stuck in a dead end job quit as soon as possible without having to worry about money, because worrying about money sucks and I don’t want you to do it anymore.

I’m planning to make it available by the end of June or early July, so stick around because it’s going to be pretty cool.

How You Can Get Involved

I feel so stinkin’ lucky just to be able to write at Riskology.co for you, and even more lucky that a lot of you have written in wondering how you can help spread the word. So thanks!

Here are the best ways to make Riskology.co an even better place for even more people:

Leave a comment on an article that you have an opinion about. I try to ask a question for you to answer at the end of each piece because I firmly believe that you can learn more from a blog’s readers than you can from the writer.

Sign up for email updates or subscribe via RSS so that you don’t miss an article that could help you or someone you know.

Share an article with your friends on Twitter, Facebook or any other site you hang out at. If you use a bookmarking site like StumbleUpon or Digg, submit any article you like there.

Hook up with me on Twitter and Facebook to share ideas.

Or, of course, you could do whatever else you want that works for you to spread the message. There are no rules because that’s kind of the whole point around here.

Over and out,

Tyler
