In the spirit of Denzel Washington starring in the upcoming movie “The Book of Eli,” we are delivering movie tickets for you to see it at any theatre in San Francisco that is showing the movie. He holds our attention through all the SAG Awards, AFI Film Awards, Oscars, and of course, People Magazine’s 50 Most Beautiful People. So when Denzel says “Deliver Us”, we say “OK!”

Here’s a partial synopsis from Rotten Tomatoes: “ In the not-too-distant future, some 30 years after the final war, a solitary man walks across the wasteland that was once America. Empty cities, broken highways, seared earth–all around him, the…In the not-too-distant future, some 30 years after the final war, a solitary man walks across the wasteland that was once America. Empty cities, broken highways, seared earth–all around him, the marks of catastrophic destruction. There is no civilization here, no law. The roads belong to gangs that would murder a man for his shoes, an ounce of water…or for nothing at all.”

Buy between 1 to 10 tickets and pay just $9 for us to deliver the movie tickets to you in 1 hour or less. Starting on January 15 (the movie premiere date), you can order through us here.

Skip the line and have us deliver the tickets to you!

HeroEx brings it to YOU first:

Here’s a sneak peek of Jason Derulo shooting the new music video for his hit song “In My Head” in Van Nuys, California. “In My Head” debuted at #63 on the Billboard Hot 100, but the music vid hasn’t dropped yet.

He recently shot it on location in front of a Circle K owned by my college friend Frank Ahn. (Frank’s in the video too).

Jason Derulo’s got the moves, check it out:

And if you’re in Van Nuys, swing by Frank Ahn’s famous Circle K on 16056 Sherman Way. Just drop my name, and he’ll hook you up. (Did you know that Frank and I had our own party promotion group called “In Da Club” in college?)

Want more Jason Derulo? He’s on tour with Lady Gaga and you can win tickets here:

Keep your eyes locked on HeroEx as we continue to deliver the good stuff like this all year long.

Lawrence Coburn, the CEO of RateItAll (the premier consumer review website), tried out HeroEx and went on record with a review of his own:

“I’ve used them once (for some batteries for a wireless keyboard), and the service was awesome.”

Thanks, guys!

Time is all we have. Wasting time damages your health and your quality of life. I’ve reorganized my life around being more efficient with my time, which includes these mantras:

1. YOU ARE A QUEEN, OR KING — OR HERO.

So assume the role. Delegate what you need to. Your job is to say, “OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!” or “YOU’RE FIRED!” or “UP UP AND AWAY!”. How are you supposed to save the day otherwise?

2. IGNORE HATERS

Stalkers, Trolls, and people who don’t believe in you don’t deserve your attention. CUT them out, have your PR person manage them, CROWDSOURCE a team to shut them down, or PAY them to write more reviews of you. (All of these worked for me.)

3. MANAGE EXPECTATIONS

Avoid misunderstandings and complications – Set expectations for how you spend your time with people. Time-manage Mom and Dad by telling them to check your Twitter.

4. CRITICAL PATH

Choose your friends and eliminate the things that don’t matter.

5. GO DIAGONAL

I once learned in 7th grade geometry class that going on a diagonal path is faster than going 5 blocks up then 5 blocks across. So learn the shortcuts through the streets. Now that we have Google Maps, it’s even easier.

NOT THIS:

6. ASK YOUR ASSISTANT

Hire an assistant. And get HeroEx to do your deliveries on the cheap

7. FIND THE REAL EXPERTS

Need an expert? If you want to find an expert on social media, for example, there are 15,740 of them on Twitter. Pick 1 or 2 people at the top of the food chain you need to talk to now, and go for the bullseye. Or if I wanted to talk to an expert on Ecommerce, I’d ask HeroEx advisor Jeff Holden, who ran the consumer side of Amazon.com for 9 years.

8. WATCH YOURSELF

“Shake ya ass, but watch yourself. Shake ya ass, show me what you workin with!” – Mystikal

Know yourself and the things you do that waste time. Now turn them off, shut them down, get rid of them. You know yourself best.

9. DAILY MEDITATION

I  meditate daily at SCLA – even for just 1 minute. 60 seconds of Ommmmm on a regular basis helps me focus on what’s important (and get to the critical path I mentioned above). I was inspired to do this by one of my best friends and Russell Simmons.

10. MONEY WINS

Can’t decide which one to pick, and all things are equal? Pick the one which brings in the cashflow for you, your boss, your company, your nonprofit, your family, your customers. We all work for the President – $ George Washington $.

11. MINIMIZE INTERRUPTIONS IN YOUR DAY

Every time you get up to pick up groceries, to go out for lunch or dinner, to pick up office supplies, to grab Starbucks – you interrupt your normal workflow. It takes 20 minutes to readjust back to what you were doing before you got up. So plan your day to minimize this – or do it all at once.
