RELAX

Yeah right!

I have to take care of the kids, answer emails, write new emails, post links, contact affiliates, make sure billing is done for the month, recruit new customers, follow up with staff and sub-contractors, and clean up the home office.

I just cannot take time to relax right now thanks......

Does this sound familiar? Well it's not just you. This type of situation afflicts every internet professional out there at sometime or another. Especially when you are first getting started or when you are strapped for cash.

It always seems like if you work harder and longer that you will be able to somehow extract success from lost hours of toiling and struggling behind the keyboard.

But....

Not really. What you are really doing by slamming and cramming your day chock full of worry and heart ache is setting your self up for ultimate failure. That's right failure with a capital "F." While you are pounding away at the keyboard telling everyone you do not have time to get things done outside of your set schedule, you are loosing out on opportunity.

Opportunity?

Yes your missing an opportunity to....

  • Spend time with your family
  • Spend time with your friends
  • Re-energize your body and mind
  • Re-focus your intention
  • Re-connect with your spirit
  • Make new contacts
  • Explore new relationships
  • Create new opportunity
  • Formulate new ideas

Now I know what you might be thinking.... If I don't get all of the things on my list done I am going to fail! I know... I used to feel the same way. It is just your ego talking, and if you listen...

You will fail.

Why?

Because you lost opportunity. Ask yourself this question. Is completing all the tasks on your list really as important as the missed opportunities that I listed above? One of the major reasons why people ultimately fail on the internet is due to self isolation. They work hard and long at making themselves bitter and upset about not succeeding.

People burn out due to lack of interaction with other people, overworking themselves, realtionship issues, and personal bashing. There confidence and health fails and ultimately that inner light that once shone so brightly dims and can even be exstinguished if you forget what is really important.

The good news is that you do not have to make the same mistakes I have in the past and 90% of all internet professionals do everyday. Reflect on how you spend your time. Then....

REALX!!!

$7000 in One Day

Well today was great.

I sent one email and netted $7000 in less than three hours.

Want to know why?

1. I do not abuse my list with every offer known to man.

2. I send only relevant information to my subscribers.

3. I offer real value to my clients when I send an email soliticitation.

That's it..... nothing to difficult to understand there.

Oh yeah.....

Did I mention that I set a goal and acheived it. I never waivered. I never doubted. I just set it and made it happen.AddThis Social Bookmark Button

My Time

The opperative word in that statement "MY."

Have you thought about your time and how you spend it. I spend at least an hour per day thinking about how I spend my time. I take that time to reflect on my daily schedule and how it will effect my loved ones and business operations.

Long story short time is on your side. How you use it can make all the differnce in your lifetime goals and successes. Time is precious and you should not waste it. Thinking about how to spend your time can be wasteful too. Like I said, I need about an hour per day to think about my endeavors for that day. I am very observant to make sure that I do not go over or under that time mark.

Then it's off to work and making money. Then off to spending time with my family and friends. Time to golf and fish. Time to read and write. Best of all time to do nothing at all. But at the heart of all this thinking about spending time is the actual spending of it.

Take action make thjings happen for you today. Even if it is the smallest acheivement, make sure to accomplish something that puts you closer to your goals.

Taking time to take action is so important to your sucess. Think about the facts. If you did not read this blog post today you would not be thinking about time at all. Now go out and use it for your own benefit and success.AddThis Social Bookmark Button

36 Years Young

I turned 36 yesterday!

Wow just 10 years ago, I was struggling just to get by and working my butt off for a land development company here in Colorado.

I never thought I would be 36 and independent to do what I wanted when I wanted to and not be afraid of the next big slump in the economy or world issues.

My attitude is not waivering now and I continue to rake in thousands of dollars per day. How you might ask? I have a millionaire mindset and you can get it too. Stop being afraid and start being empowered.

Get your own direction and follow it. Ignore the TV and news papers and go hard and steady until you make your dream a reality.

So today I am 36. In my prime some would say. All I can say is I pray for you and your dreams and I empower you to succeed, I am not done yet. Are you?AddThis Social Bookmark Button

What does it take?

The most frequent question that I get is. "What does it take to be an internet entrepreneur?" Well it is a combination of things. I will list a few of the most important.

  • Personal Drive
  • Self esteem
  • Vision
  • Longevity

I would also say that you need an idea. You need an idea that makes you interested in it and want to pursue its outcome no matter what the end results are. If you are not driven to make your idea succeed then your idea will fail every time.

GUARANTEED

You should be a self driven and self reliant person. No one else much cares about your idea as much as you do and that is going to have to be enough until you realize your dream and your goal is attained.

You should understand that most people will not understand you or your dream and will try to convince you that your dream is not attainable or viable.

DO NOT LISTEN!

You also need to read daily and make sure that your knowledge expands at a rate that is faster than your competition or counterparts.

I would say that is where a person should start. I will talk more about the specifics of planning and implementing an idea in the future.
