Procrastination – 7 Tips To Stop Procrastinating

One of our most common problems is procrastination.

We know what we want to do and should do. But still we end up spending hours upon hours doing “easier” work or escaping via TV, blogs, or music.

Now, there is nothing wrong with a little escape from time to time, but if you procrastinate too much, you will not get the most important things done, and you will also send yourself into negative spirals where your self-esteem plummets, and you spend your days in a vague, negative funk.

So what can you do? Read the rest of this entry

How To Build A Funded Proposal Will Interest You If You Hate To Sell

Leave your comment

If you are reading this post prior to May 15, 2012, then you still have time to get registered for our How To Build A Funded Proposal Workshop - registration deadline is May 15, 2012.

If you’re in network marketing/direct sales, then one thing you might notice, is that the people who become overnight successes, are usually very good with people, and are also very comfortable with selling.

They’re the people who will get up on stage at events, and have no hesitation speaking to a room full of people.

And the best ones ooze charisma… they attract others to them like a flame attracts moths.

The problem for me (and a lot of others), when I got started, is I wasn’t one of them.

I was always the kid at high school, who’d try to blend in, and not get noticed.

And, I carried that shyness into my twenties…

So what do you do, when you’ve just turned 62 years old, you’ve invested your entire life savings into a direct sales business, and now you’re expected to go prospect strangers? Read the rest of this entry

Here’s EXACTLY What I’d Do To Make My First $1000 Online

Leave your comment

Here’s EXACTLY what I’d do to make my first 1K online…

Building a business online…

It’s very much a numbers game.

Let’s say that your goal was to make your first $1,000 online, but you could only work part-time (since you’re already busy).

If I were you, here’s exactly how I’d do it:

First, when building your own email list, your average subscriber is going to be worth around $2-$5 per month.

That’s assuming you are marketing to them, recommending good products as an affiliate.

You can find thousands of products to promote on a site like ClickBank.com (and of course, you only promote good products that help people – no crap). Read the rest of this entry

What Is A Funded Proposal?

Leave your comment

Join us for our Funded Proposal Workshop now before the registration closes on May 15, 2012…

A Funded Proposal is basically a sales funnel where you sell an inexpensive front-end product and the money you make from that sale covers your marketing expense. Then, what you earn on the back-end of your sales funnel will be clear profit…

With your front-end info-product, you will find leads that are interested in you, not the other way around, and have shown they are committed by taking out their credit card and investing in acquiring knowledge.

In the Network Marketing industry, you have a choice to make.

You can either do it the old fashioned (old school) way, which is the way most people were taught… They were told to make a list of friends and family, make a list of one hundred people they know, and then call them with your business opportunity. Read the rest of this entry

Does GoDaddy Suck?

Leave your comment

What is your opinion? Does GoDaddy Suck?

Honestly!

For myself I have never personally used GoDaddy, but I have been on their site several times helping others with different aspects of their accounts. Each time I have found it to be very difficult to navigate the site.

This could possibly be from not using the site all the time and getting really familiar with it, or it could be as most of the people I know that have used their hosting say, and that is “GoDaddy Sucks.”

Now this is only my opinion based on what I have heard from friends, mentors, and others that I have worked with since starting out in my Internet Marketing career…

Here is an email I received from the latest to fall to the wayside cursing profusely about GoDaddy and the experience he is just now hopefully getting straightened out with this hosting company… This email is from one of my mentors and here is what he had to say… Read the rest of this entry

Why Is It So Important To Work With The Right People In Business My Friend?

Leave your comment

Do you want to know why it is so important to work with the right people in business my friend?

I’m going to share something with you today that can make you A LOT of money if you put it to use.

You see, I have undergone a few ‘transformations’ in my own growth over the last few years in business and within myself. And to share this lesson with you I’m going to let you in on a little bit more of my story!

When I was first starting out in network marketing…I was a total NEWBIE. I was wet behind the ears, had no clue what I was doing, no clue how to influence people, no clue how to be a good network marketer, build relationships, or do so many of the things that actually lead to success in this industry.

To tell you the truth, I started to get Desperate! It was almost like my feelings of self worth, and my identity, were attached to how successful I was in my business.

If someone rejected my business…I felt like they Rejected ME. Read the rest of this entry

You Are Wasting Your Time…

Leave your comment

I’ll bet you are wasting your time right now!

I’m willing to bet that right now, there’s just 1-3 activities in your business which bring in sales, and the rest are just wasting your time.

These are what you should be focusing on.

Everything else, is just wasting of your time. And every minute you spend doing the many activities that don’t directly contribute to your bottom line, is costing you.

I spent many years studying different courses, before I got to the point where I could build my online business full time.

And although I didn’t learn much… a few lessons have stuck with me.

One of these is the concept of ‘opportunity cost’ from economics. Read the rest of this entry

Money – “All you care about is money” she said…

Leave your comment

“All you care about is money” she said… Yep, that’s what she said alright.

I once had a very angry lady yell at me, and say ”all you care about is money!”

Why?

Because I would not get on the phone with her and help her for free. I told her she’d have to pay my hourly rate, which is $175.

I don’t give away my time for free. And neither should you. We are all here to make money, even her!

Time is the one thing that we can never get back.

But, in some respects, that lady had a point. She accused me of being money driven.

And you know what? She was right. And I don’t apologize for it one bit. I am here to make money.

It is my right to pursue a profit. And it’s your right too. Read the rest of this entry

Empower Network Overview

Empower Network Overview

This is an Empower Network Overview of what products and training is included inside this company.

I have been a member of Empower Network since they opened the doors back in October of 2011 and this is an overview of what is available inside once you join.

I originally joined with the Basic $25.00 membership which included the instant set up for you ready to use Viral blogging platform and the eight step core commitment training system.

This by itself in my opinion is well worth a lot more than $25.00.

This is the perfect way for a beginner just starting out on their online marketing journey to get a pre-built blog and all of the basic training necessary to start making money online.

Now don’t get me wrong, I am not saying it is easy. Nothing that I have found having to do with marketing online has been easy. What I am saying is there is nothing better online than Empower Network to get you blogging instantly and learning the proper strategies and techniques you need to get started.

This Empower Network Overview will show you many other products to further a persons abilities to succeed online as well. Read the rest of this entry
