5:30p - 7:00p. Perfect.
Need to get the sound right. The problem is, I want fully express myself, but in doing so I echo around the room. Just gonna need to do it into the mic... and that means sound checks.
4 Sound checks done.
I feel like I need to be up close and quietier, but I need to do it in a way where there's more excitement. play with this tmw.

Sundays and Vaping
On sundays, i need to have an alarm, perhaps at 8am, and i need to do a ritual as soon as i get out of bed that inclydes the power hour review and meditation. I also need an agenda made during the prior week, due by 7pm on Thursday, for an outline of my sunday schedule.
On vaping, i need to use my training. These are small feelings compared to real pain. I need to actually do what ive been trained to do and embrace them and the pain.
Sarah is in 2-3 weeks. I cant be coffing up a storm and trying to hide the vape from her parents. Ive been meaning to quit from months. Its time to just do it already.
As far as herbs go, having them on fri / sat will always reduce your size on sunday. Since the point of retime is to charge up for sunday, this works completely against you.

Q3 PTC Day 15
The whole approach of Sunday is wrong.
Frankly, at this point I'd rather have my alarm go off @ 430am on sunday and have to work on 3 hours of sleep than wake up whenever I want and risk the whole thing failing.
It's 1:30pm. I woke up at 8:30am. That is 5 hours of nothingness. The blanket analogy holds up here. I didn't want to start, felt too small to begin, so I didn't do anything.
And the morning ritual failed.
It's not that I can't handle work on Sundays. I've done this a dozen times.
It's not that I can't do a morning ritual. Last week I did one every day WITHOUT snoozing.
I think it's a lack of discipline and structure on Sundays. On week days, I have to constantly race the clock, and not snoozing is essential to getting a workout done on time and getting to work early enough to have a nice power hour.
On Sundays, I can get started whenever I want, so I get started as late as possible. I don't have to follow a schedule, so I don't.
I don't have time for this. My next 2 Sundays are already booked to parents and Sarah. After that, I have to hussle to get as much done as I can before Thanksgiving and Christmas. And then I have to make more serious decisions like do I sacrifice some skiing or some ROARS.
And at the end of the day, a big missing component to ROARS is that I am not organized enough to be able to work for myself. Think of Brendan's Realtor friend. He is very disciplined and organized without a boss. I will need to be that way too if I am to have any chance of succeeding as an entrepreneur.

Q3 PTC Day 12
6:15p - 7:15p
Re familiarized myself with the web editor, created an aweber list, got the opt in working (to a degree) on the site.
Cool beans.
With the extreme resistance I had coming into ROARS today I'm actually quite impressed. It pays dividends to be size 5+ during the day.

Help on "Error Establishing Database"
http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-the-error-establishing-a-database-connection-in-wordpress/
Also, how I setup my database:
http://entrepreneurisback.blogspot.com/2015/10/day-28.html
Checked:
ALL WP SITES ARE DOWN -- so it's a database problem, not a single site permission or username / pass setup.
BOTH SITE AND WP-ADMIN ARE DOWN -- again, database at large problem, not some corruption.
THE URL AND THE IP BOTH SHOW THE SAME PROBLEM -- it's not a domain name problem.
Let's look at the facts: I haven't used the site in 6 months.
MOST LIKELY IT'S AN AWS PROBLEM.
It COULD be the wordpress unique key is broken, but probably not. Updating wordpress is always optional, for the most part. And some of my sites dont have shit for plugins so that not it.
MOST LIKELY:
1. The aws security key is out-dated or not working or the "key-pair" isn't working (likely).
2. I setup a db with aws that I forgot about and is not running (unlikely).
3. Some other aws connectivity problem (IP inactive, some routing thing, etc)

"Have you verify that mysql is running on your instance and try to connect to the mysql from within your instance?"

yup.. looks like mysql is NOT running. Really should've been the first thing you checked.
lol
possible that it just cant connect on account of me having no idea what the password is and just hitting enter on a blank pass... but i would've expected a diff error in that case:
Tried another "ping" code and same thing. Looks to be offline.
What is the best way to figure out how to get mysql running?? I don't even remember installing it.
...
Working on this one now:
"For me just restarting the mysqld service worked. There was a hitch though, as soon as I executed
..
"I got the same error for my website, I just rebooted my instance and voila, problem solved.
... so anyways... it sounds like THERE'S A LOG I CAN REVIEW.
but, prob a timeout thing.
first i will try rebooting the instance. if that doesn't work, i'll start with the unix commands to restart mysql... but it sounds like that can cause problems i dont want.
..
HaHA!! Rebooting the instance got the website back up and running.
Well no shit. I feel like I'm using a computer for the first time calling geeksquad and they say "well have you tried restarting the computer?" and I'm like... what? I can do that? and they're like "sir... have you never turned off your computer? seriously?"

"For me just restarting the mysqld service worked. There was a hitch though, as soon as I executed
sudo service mysqld restart the MySql service stopped but didn't start. sudo services mysqld start gave a MySQL Deamon Failed to Start Error. I spent a lot of time trying to start the service but I guess the real culprit was the httpd service. I stopped the httpd service sudo service httpd stop. Now execute sudo service mysqld restart and bingo the wordpress site was back online(remember to start the httpd service). This sounds kind of lame but it worked, from what I figured out the MySQL DB stops for a number of reasons looking at the log and figuring out the actual reason is the only thing that works for me."..
"I got the same error for my website, I just rebooted my instance and voila, problem solved.
My case:
I am using amazon free tier, and some bot requested my website and due to the high number of connections, the sql database could not serve the load. I have hence installed the load balancer too :) Hope it helps

Q3 PTC Day 9
Last week was Eric's Cadence challenge.
I spent hours on it including last Sunday.
Reason for this is I feel this will save me over a hundred hours of time moving forward, make work easier, and grant me more freedom to work on ROARS.
Today, I did take 3 of video 1.
Got the thumbs up from Dave.
Now I need to do it a little more over the top and with more sound dampening... video 1 has to be PERFECT audio wise since it's the hook
-morning ritual
-3 meditations.
-CDH
-Size 5
Good day.

Q3 2016 PTC BEGINS
3:30p - 8:30p
It's always hard, going from vacation to a new challenge. And today has definitely been hard.
Let today be a testament to the downsides of smoking weed. It is so disabling for me it's on a whole 'nother level of being disturbing.
That being said, I have probably the best "how to achieve" list ever. The power thinking system has reached a new peak, the prior random ideals have been combined with the progression of Q2 to make an organized, clear path to achieving my goals.
My motivation, however, is lacking. Should it lack tomorrow, the time for anger and empowerment is here and it needs to be hit harder than ever.
Also, starting tomorrow, weed and alcohol on a non-friday or mid-saturday are NOT ALLOWED. This is not my word however incredibly important to remain firmly committed to. If not, word shall be implemented upon them.
...
Roars needs a lot of work. I need to get this first video finished SOON... I need the website functioning... and once those are done, I need a sense of what I am trying to achieve and I need to redefine the goals. The goals set now (see goals page link, top right) are really just placeholders.
My vision for ROARS is weak and that is detrimental to everything.
Tomorrow morning, here's the plan:
KNOW BEYOND ANY DOUBT THAT BIG SIZE TODAY IS ESSENTIAL SO THAT I WILL BE EFFECTIVE @ ROARS AT THE END OF THE DAY. I MUST START GETTING BACK INTO ROARS SO I CAN REALLY GET THIS CHALLENGE OFF THE GROUND.
Start with a powerful morning ritual. Planks, pushups, and situps. DO NOT HESITATE. Being successful at this leads to success @ work.
Follow up with a powerful power hour, then fight to reprogram the trolls and fix my broken, broken mind. lol... it's SO broken right now! And I need to take on these trolls one by one and really get this brain of mine churning out 90% positivity FAST. I need mental mastery.
Now... NO smoking tonight. Calling Sarah will be the way to end this one, I need to break this addictive mentality ASAP.
