			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday, I was lying on my bed checking my emails and found an email from John Reese. He just emailed to his entire list about his latest plan to travel around the world, going minimalist and also selling 99% of his stuff.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-419  aligncenter" title="john-reese-tony-robbins" src="http://desmondblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/john-reese-tony-robbins-300x172.png" alt="john-reese-tony-robbins" width="300" height="172" /></p>
<p>Now, John Reese did play a big part of my life. I started out with Corey Rudl&#8217;s materials in 2005 and during the same year, the name John Reese started to get louder and louder in the community &#8212; catching my attention very quickly.</p>
<p>John Reese is the IM second guru that I know after Corey Rudl and no doubt that John is one of the smartest marketers around&#8230;</p>
<p>Back to his email.</p>
<p>John is going minimalist so he could travel around the world and focus on his business &#8212; which I think is a smart move.</p>
<p>On August 9th, I will be leaving Malaysia to fly all the way to Los Angeles in California &#8212; leaving behind a lot of things &#8212; my computers (except my Macbook Pro), my lovely Playstations, my house, my car, a whole bunch of my fancy clothings&#8230;EVERYTHING.</p>
<p>Now, I&#8217;m not exactly going minimalist &#8212; but what I am trying to say is that I am losing everything too for my move to the United States. Instead of fussing about my loss and the inconvenient move &#8212; I think this is a great opportunity for me to grow my business.</p>
<p>I can focus on just my business and also to see my business from a different perception.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m someone who believe in change &#8212; and this is definitely the biggest change for me and my business.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello guys, I know some of you came over here and dropped me a few comments asking me questions like:</p>
<p>&#8220;What happened here?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;WTF?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;What happened to this blog?&#8221;</p>
<p>Well, do not worry guys because I am just doing some &#8220;spring cleaning&#8221;. I uploaded so many plugins, files and themes onto my WordPress previously that I had to delete everything off. Yes, I literally deleted everything.</p>
<p>Including all the contents and all files. I simply wiped everything out of my server.</p>
<p><script src="http://flash.revver.com/player/1.0/player.js?mediaId:1695078;affiliateId:375850;backColor:#000000;frontColor:#ffffff;gradColor:#000000;width:480;height:392;shareUrl:revver;" type="text/javascript"></script></p>
<p>OK. Basically I want to start a brand new fresh blog with heck tons of changes:</p>
<p>- Brand new designs (I&#8217;m still looking for a theme)</p>
<p>- No more stupid banners on the right side. I replaced it with my Killer Product Launch report opt-in form. Get it now before I tore it down.</p>
<p>- More serious posts and less ramblings.</p>
<p>- The real &#8220;in-depth&#8221; tips to my money making secrets. It is no secret that I am reducing my site flipping works and pushing myself into product creation &amp; product launch. I must admit I grow tired and sick of site flipping. Don&#8217;t get me wrong. Site flipping is super profitable but I&#8217;ve been doing the same thing for over 3 years. So, I got bored.</p>
<p>- My personal updates on how well I&#8217;m doing. (including my latest launches &amp; products)</p>
<p>Just to clear things up, before you said I&#8217;m an idiot for clearing the old contents out &#8212; I just want to tell you that I have nothing to lose. I don&#8217;t make money from this blog and I don&#8217;t intend to make money from this blog. So, it&#8217;s all honest strategies and tips here that I am going to share with DesmondBlog&#8217;s readers.</p>
