Why do we make things so complicated?

Why do we make things so complicated? Nothing was designed to be difficult, and nothing was designed to be hard. It is us who makes things complicated and hard!

We are the all a power, and it's when we harness this power we can control the way our life goes. Our thoughts are simply a application to whatever job we want to take on at the moment. Our thoughts automatically have a vibration whether they are positive or negative. So when you focus on the desire's you have, even if you only think about it once, the universe will ALWAYS match that vibration.

This is why we have to focus on creating only positive vibrations to send out to the universe. When things aren't going as planned, or life hits us with a curveball.......try seeing the positive out of even the most bad situation by finding a way to say "at least.............."

Usually I type much more, but I'm getting txt messages from my girlfriend to come back upstairs so I'm gonna end this. I was just supposed to be checking my e-mail, but I can't deny the power of an idea. One idea can lead to thousands, even million's of dollars. I might even have the ability to inspire someone else to focus deeper on their thoughts, write in their blog, or even apply the law of attraction. Regardless of how "obvious" self-improvement sounds......until you thirst for this knowledge.....YOU WILL NOT LIVE THE LIFE YOU DESIRE......(or you focus on being happy...but still sorta the same thing)

Until Later.

The Million Dollar Notebook - Guess I'm Ready To Talk About It

Make yourself comfy and let me explain what I mean when I say I own a $1MM Dollar Notebook...

I have been marketing online for a little over a year, and I've seen everything from hype, pyramids, affiliate marketing, direct selling, MLM, and whatever else type of marketing there is.

When I was a newbie - I FELL FOR EVERYTHING!

It wasn't until I read the 37th ebook that I discovered that the only way to keep 100% of any money to be made was to create your own product. "But what the heck would I create?" - I asked the ebook. That's when the ebook told me to start taking notes about what I would learn over the next 30 days, package it in a cute .pdf format, and give it away for free. Ok cool, but where's the money in that?

Before I continue, I did write a ebook and gave it away for free, but not that many people downloaded it...bummer right? NOPE.

Everyone wants to see the BIG money, but they don't have everything in the right place to RECEIVE the BIG money. Does that make sense?

People jump from opportunity to opportunity "thinking" their following the money, but their really just following hope. They HOPE the new opp they just joined has a spillover. They HOPE they can get leads from PPC to their affilate page. While their hoping, there's a bunch of folks that KNOW the new opp they just joined will have a spillover. They KNOW they're going to get a ton of leads from PPC to their affiliate page.

Do you see the difference in HOPING & KNOWING?

The folks who knew they were going to see success, saw success! THEY WERE THE CAUSE OF THEIR SUCCESS - THEY KNEW THEY WOULD REACH THEIR GOAL! They dumped the old school methods and started doing things the new way.

I had the priveledge of coming to Internet Marketing when things were changing and I learned a very important tactic that the folks who knew how to be successful were already using - ATTRACTION MARKETING. People join people, they don't join companies. The most successul people became successful selling themselves by offering value to others.

At the moment most EVERYONE is teaching how to market You,Inc - but most people don't wanna "self-improve" to improve YOU,INC.

Leaders know how to teach, lead, and also follow.

That's what makes a strong YOU - and a strong Inc.

I ended up passing the 30 day mark and kept taking notes about all the small, inside stuff that not many people EVER talked about.

I did run into a problem though....

I had no idea how I was going to create a product pertaining to ONE thing when my notebook covered a million things! I felt that way for a long time until I said, "whatever...I'm creating it anyway."

After I finished typing everything up, and I read it 37 times...I figured out what it was about!!! (now I can really explain it to people!)

The Million Dollar Notebook is a collection of my notes from starting out as a newbie to a knowledgeable marketer. It is a guide to believe in yourself, and your business. Since this is "online" business, the way you convey your message to your audience is one of the most important aspects of your job. I won't say I break down copywriting, but I give detailed instructions on how to grab attention and keep it. And this is through using the right words, phrases, colors, and mindset.

I'm going to give you a small dose of what I mean.

During the Pre-Launch I'll be talking about:

• Power Words
  

• Using Colors That Attract Impulse Buyers

• Switching Your Mindset

...and my favorite of them all

• THE IMPORTANCE OF STUDYING FREE CONTENT

• I was inspired to release The Million Dollar Notebook for all of the lazy people who don't pay attention to the stuff right in front of their face. I'm talking about all the videos, all the articles and all the copy that top marketer's and guru's produce - that no one's talking about.

Almost everything I read online is about the same thing if it isn't niche oriented. The thing that makes me mad, is I've already learned a heap of things from top marketer's about everything. So why is their so many people asking questions?

What don't they know? That's when I noticed how good of a question that really is!

DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW?

Of course you don't...because I don't know what I don't know either. That's why I want to let you read my $1MM notebook to learn some NEW things. Even if you think you know everything, sometimes it's good to learn about the same things from different people - something might click and put you in a profitting position. One little tweak to your website, personal life, or business and you could see huge change.

See you at the Pre-Launch.

Become An Idea

I wanted to share this video with you because it's about to change my life!! I watched this last night and I'm watching it now while I'm typing this. Will Smith, possibly one of my favorite role models, was speaking with the famous Tavis Smiley on his show about being an Idea - instead of being an icon.

We are in creation of the world we live in - everyone has their own path to take. No one person controls or dictates how your life will turn out - but YOU! Make the choice - and follow the path! I don't wanna give too much of the video away because I REALLY NEED YOU TO WATCH THIS!!! - as a matter of fact - WATCH THIS TWICE!!!

Athletes have will power, dedication and convition - they weren't studying "The Law's of Attraction"

So I've been workin' and workin' and workin' on getting the system setup for "The Million Dollar Notebook". I'm almost done with it, but I still have to put things in there proper place. Systems are very important if you haven't already read my my article, "Systems Are Solutions"

I have to make sure I explain myself clearly with my product and the things I've planned to accomplish. I have learned things that MILLIONS of people don't know. SO HAVE YOU! I have to become as valuable as possible so that I can live in abundance. The keys are all laid out for us to go through the door. It is us who's preventing us from going through the door. Everyone knows how powerful belief is, but how strongly are we using it?

I'm releasing "The Million Dollar Notebook" to prove to myself that I WILL ATTRACT my desires into my life. The things that I constantly think, will SHOW UP! I have trained my thoughts long enough, my state of awareness has risen. To be in total creation of your success.....

Everyone wants a leader, but no one wants to be a follower. It doesn't make sense to me. 500 Leaders and 50 followers. People are still seeking answers when the answer doesn't need to be chased. It will come to you no matter what. Trust in what I say, you will always know what to do when you begin to listen to yourself. Slow your reaction down and start getting in FULL tune with yourself.

Personal development is a REQUIREMENT for whatever you do when it comes to becoming wealthy. The only way the rich avoid personal development, is using their minds to do the same thing and not being aware of it. Athletes have will power, dedication and convition........they weren't studying "The Law's of Attraction". I believe in myself that much to say nothing is going to hold me back from abundance. There is an infinite amount of subscribers, leads, prospects, buyers, and repeat buyers in the world for me to be as successful as I want to be.

"....Only Possibilities Await, as always"

Change is upon us, new life is waiting for those who seek it. The days of the impossible are over, only possibilities await, as always.

We have to realize the marvelous things that is already present in our life, and appreciate them. People want, want, want and never look at what they have. Abundance flows in all directions, good and bad. If its more of something you desire, concentrate on what you already have of it now. Be grateful that you have the amount of money you have now (even if its only $3). Appreciate the ones you love now, and be grateful of those who love you. Reflect on the things already in your life that makes you happy.

When in search of a new source, or more of it, you must be in full align with it. The way to do this is to focus on what you have, not what you want. Wanting something you don't have, or need more of, won't bring it to you. That's because you don't know what that source feels like because you've never possessed it.

I've never had $69,000 before but it is one of my desires. In order to manifest this much money, I have to be thankful of the money I already have. With thankfulness comes appreciation for how I receieved the money, and gratitude that I can buy what I need with the money. Even if money isn't in your own possession, if its spent on you be thankful still; you'll be able to have more moments where things like that will happen.

Life is found beyond our doubts. The key to success is believing that you are already a success. Adopting this mindset will bring you the results you desire.

I hope that people are not mistaken by personal development and self-growth. Its truly a life-changing experience when done right. It takes more than belief, it takes work. You don't have to know "how" something is going to happen, you just have expect it. Listen to your inner dialouge and the way "how" will be revealed to you. Acting on your impulses when they speak to you, will bring the desire into existence. With no work, you'll see no results.

This can be applied to all areas of your life (love life, family, friends and work). If you want improvement in your life, allow improvement to enter your life. You are the only one who prevents and brings things into your life. The power of imagination can be your best friend, and your worst enemy.

I've grown to understand that's how life works, within the rules you set for it. If you think your incapable of living a life of fufillment, then you'll always be incapable of doing so. If you want to become wealthy, then you must believe that you are already wealthy. All things desired are formed when you develop an abundance mentality. There is no scarcity of anything, that is a myth. Everything is infinite, and there's enough to go around.

Until next time.

My belief. My future.
Mike

Since Blogging is a HOT TOPIC right now....(In the Forum)*

I commented in the forum that was started about Blogging titled, "Blaag! Blaag! Blaag!"...started by my new friend Tom Savas - http://www.betternetworker.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=14573#p28776 - (and it's getting rather intersting....)

So I decided to write in my BetterNetworker blog about just that.....blogging.

Everyone has a blog....I know.

But what is it about your blog that's worth someone reading it?

I won't lie, I don't read alot of blogs.....but not because I don't want to receive their value, but because I wasn't drawn in by the Title. That's a BIG thing that some people try to do...and fail.

What is it about YOU that will make me stay on your blog?

What are you talking about thats.....say...a popular topic right now?

I'm speakin of riding with the tide...not against it. Yea, I know not everything is worth the time. But what about the things you enjoy writing about? (Niche related to what your offering I mean)

Something bad about that.....is the fact that I'm sick of seeing Twitter products....lol. But that's just my opinion. Don't wanna offend anyone. It's not rocket science.....it's not even Magnetic Sponsoring. It's Twitter Sponsoring. I haven't read anything about it. I just watched the couple of videos that Perry Belcher, and the one that he did with Mike Dillard, and I was good to go.

I didn't need Twitter teaching....lol. No I don't have a thousand people on my list, but I get about 5-10 new followers a day. I know how to communicate......even if followers don't want to follow. I know that I say things that people want to hear. Maybe it's some advice, something funny I saw on tv, updates of what I'm doing (niche related) and for some reason.............people want to follow me.

Cool. I'm an attracting type of guy anyway.

Just as everyone wants to take over Twitter.....why not take over what's yours.

Your System.

What is it about your system that will interest people?

What is it about your system that can make them successful USING your system?

Without a system, you don't have a business. (yea I said it, a business......)

Some people say that your blog is your entry system. This is where you can get people to know you, and what you like to talk about. The only thing is.....

You only attract people that are like you. (and a few other lucky ones)

The belief you have in yourself will be equal or just a bit less as the person reading. They want to read something that their interested in. That's life I know, but c'mon......

THIS IS ATTRACTION MARKETING! ..............better yet.

THIS IS YOU MARKETING!

That's it. Go write in your blog too.

Mike Morgan | Mindset Mike | Cash Attraction

ooops........here's my blog link: http://www.betternetworker.com/blogs/cashattraction

I should call this "The Leaders Only Blog"

Welcome to another post by me, Mike Morgan. 2009 is here, and if you don't take control NOW....yes, the 10th day of the year......then you won't be in control on the 365th day of the year!

Everyone wants the secrets.

Everyone want's the answers.

Answers can only be given to the right questions.

If your still searching for what's going to make you successful, try looking in instead of looking out.

Are you developing a system? A real system, I'm talking Site A > Site B > Site C and so on.

Seriously.....are YOU on auto-pilot?

Internet marketing may seem intimidating when you start to think of how your actully going to make a fortune. But it can be yours and it's actually yours already, you just have to welcome it. By doing that you allow it to come into your life. You don't have to know HOW it's coming, you only have to know WHY it's coming.

There is nothing you can't do, the things you don't try to do will never exist or manifest. Live the life you want to live and you'll become the person you want to be.

If your like me, you are:

• Addicted to online markeing
• Ready to help alot of people
• Addicted to personal development
• Ready to make a ton of money
• Ready to start LIVING

To make all 4 of those things happen, you have to help other people become more successful.

Last week while reading Eben Pagen's blog, he mentioned that there is a NEW WEALTH, that's not the tradional "physical" wealth we're used to.

"Today, wealth is about education, enjoyment of life, quality of time and relationships with friends, cultural experience, personal development, fulfillment, contribution… and is COMPLETELY intangible and unmeasurable (in the traditional sense)." - Eben Pagen

When you give NEW WEALTH, you get in back in return. Startin' to sound familiar?

You can have anything on earth, you just gotta help enough people get what they want first.

It's all about having a SYSTEM!

Only leaders use systems, and only leaders attract other leaders. If you don't have what it takes, you never tried to be a leader to begin with. You can continue B.S.'n around if you want, but after 90 days you'll notice how behind you are.

Until the next time.

**Oh and if your on the list, I'm going to cut the e-mails down to maybe 1 or 2 a week. You probably get tons of spam already.

Systems are Solutions.............(Influenced by Magnetic Sponsoring)

I may be a year late, but I finally read Magnetic Sponsoring. I actually felt more Alpha-like because I knew and understood most of the concepts Mike Dillard was teaching. He introduced some of them to me through free content (that I honor and study), but kept a few goodies quiet for the sake of his book.

People hate being sold. Yes, you know that. But people LOVE to buy! If you know that, great...keep reading.

There isn't a way to become successful without a system, so I waited and waited until the right system was revealed to me. I study all the "big guys" in efforts to mirror their marketing system. If your not doing so too, you need to start......Mike Dillard is one of many "big guys". Each time I studied them, I would notice something new within their system. Whether it be the capture page, their character (by which I mean through communication with the audience) or what they actually were talking about.....I learn something new every time I pay attention.

What I didn't notice until I read Magnetic Sponsoring, is that the system I was studying so hard had nothing to do with Mike being a "big guy". In fact, I learned the REAL system months ago and never knew how important it was until reading M.S. The main purpose of business is to make money, but the methods of doing that is not to sell. Genius.

Your system does the selling while you sell your system.

You,Inc is the most important brand when it comes to a new and fresh prospect. Whatever your opportunity is, your system must be related to it somehow. If you sell birdhouses.....first you could educate your prospect about bird food. You should always be a step ahead of your prospect and their needs. Teach them. Educate them. Give them something of value. This builds the relationship between you and them, without them even knowing what it is you do. They only know you helped them!

Even though this goes for online as well as offline marketing, the Internet has taken over traditional marketing and without a system.....your "home" based business won't survive. You can't just send people straight to the website of your product/opportunity. They've seen a million products! They've heard about a million opportunities! When they are approached like this.....they say No and won't budge.

Below is the system I learned, that you can copy if you please.

Site A is linked to Site B. Site B links to Site C.

Site C never links back to Site A or B, because Site C is your product or opportunity.

Make them feel comfortable, make them feel cared for. That's how you develop relationships. You don't know what that person is capable of until you establish rapport with them. Give without want. You don't have to be rewarded by them. Your success will be rewarded by you on your own time. Once they are inside of your system, walk with them through the system. Be patient with them, for everyone is not as adaptive as others. Make sure they have a good understanding about what they've learned so far (the system). Then......if YOU think they are a leader (such as yourself).....invite them to join your business. They already are interested in what your doing, because their in your system.

Some may say Yes. More will say No.

That does not matter because there is an infinite amount of leads. There is an infinite amount of money to be made. The people that say No are saving room for the people (leaders) who will say yes. The ones who say yes, are the ones who were sold by the system, like the system and can see the system making them successful.

Your system does the selling while you sell your system.

Your Belief. Your Future.

Abundance Mentality - What @Mike_Dillard Taught Me

Many of you may already know the story of Mike Dillard's vehicle's these last few weeks. If not then I'll fill you in....just keep reading.

I think it was Christmas Eve and I was on Twitter (the hottest thing to do right now), updating my profile and checking out the tweets of the few people I follow. Mike Dillard just so happens to be one of them and I try to interact with him as much as I can. This is a guy who lives in complete abundance, and has perfected the craft tremendously.

While scrolling down the list of profiles on my home page I see Mike's face and a very shocking message next to it:

"Aston martin just rear-ended at stop light. Yippee 4:24 PM Dec 24th, 2008"

I immediately put my feet in his shoes and panicked for him! That's a car worth over $100K! I had to send him a message (to ask if he was OK & un-hurt.......then to ask about the car):

@Mike_Dillard Are you serious?!?!?!? How are you handling it? ....I would be irate. 5:02 PM Dec 24th, 2008

I couldn't imgaine anyone not feeling the same way.Come to find out....there was $12,000 in damages!

@Mike_Dillard So did you get anything resolved? guess this would be the wrong time for a marketing Q & A...I'm hurtin with ya buddy. 6:19 PM Dec 24th, 2008

I learned a quick but powerful lesson about having an abundance mentality from Mike Dillard just from sharing a few tweets with him. I cannot stress paying attention to every detail of the people you want to mirror. This was his reply:

@cashattraction Everything's cool. There's no point in crying over spilled milk. Won't fix the car ;) Shook his hand and accepted apology. 6:23 PM Dec 24th, 2008

After reading that reply, I actually had to sit and really think about why he responded so calmly. I really sat back and thought about it.

• He said "Everything's cool."
• He "won't fix the car"
• He gave me that ;) wink thing.

Nicknaming myself "Mindset Mike", it was starting to make sense why he was so calm:

@Mike_Dillard Glad everythings cool. And not fixing the car,and winking.You must have somethin up your sleeve? Is that emotion of abundance? 7:33 PM Dec 24th, 2008

Mike Dillard knows how to control his thoughts, he knows that the very thoughts he has will consume him and take over his life. Having an abundant mentality keeps abundance flowing. I had no idea what he was planning, but it had to be something......

......what guy goes through having his Aston Martin crashed into by a snow plow, say he's not going to fix the car, wink and stay content?

If you said a rich guy, give yourself a pat on the back for being funny because I just said that in my head while typing....but no.

An Abundant guy thinks that way. Having an abundance mentality causes thoughts like that (there are people who are not rich, but live in abundance.....their focus is just different from others). As Mike wrote in Magnetic Sponsoring, there is an endless amount of money, an endless amount of leads.

There is no reason to focus on lack or loss! When you live in abundance....you live a life full of desire. Nothing is impossible. Nothing is scarce. Not money, not leads, not cars.

Obviously Mike Dillard had something up his sleeve. An Audi R8!

Have you accepted abundance or do you still want it? I'm going to ask that question until you get it.....even when you do.

Your Belief is Your Future.

Mike Morgan | Mike Jr.

Are You Lookin' Everywhere Except The Right Place?

There has been a big misconception about mistakes and the reasons for failure...

Do you find yourself saying (or others you associate with)....
"The market is too saturated"
"I don't get enough traffic"
"People just aren't buying these days"
"We're in a recession and people are struggling"

Those are excuses. NOT reasons!

Yes, there has been a recession declared...SO WHAT! NOW is the BEST time to be in business for yourself! Millionaires are made in times of chaos! Not one thing is standing in the way of your success......BUT YOU!

Nothing or no one but YOU is to blame for the mistakes and shortcomings you've had on your journey to success (that's if your following my tracks). If you aren't getting enough traffic...change the way you get traffic! If your wasting your time buying leads....please stop. please. If you think people aren't buying "these days"......guess again. They don't want to buy from YOU!

But why? Why don't they want to buy from you?

Maybe the question I should be asking is....What can you do to MAKE them BUY from YOU?

People join people, not companies. They need solutions to problems, and someone trustworthy to give them the solution. Hint: That's You. They don't want to be sold, they don't want an opportunity being shoved in their face! They want to be relaxed enough to feel like it was their decision to take on opportunity. People sell themselves!

I hope your not wondering how people sell themselves........but if you are.....I'll explain.

No one buys something because they need it. They buy to solve a problem, and they make the purchase based on emotions. For example: A guy needs to buy some dependable deodorant since he's out of his old stick. He goes to the store, gets to the aisle and see's 100 deodorant choices. Which one does he choose? All of them claim to do the same thing....protect against odor. His brain then starts to pull up "top-of-the-mind" brands that stand out above the rest. He remembers seeing a commercial for "Axe" products and how the guy who wore them had flocks of women chasing him.......he then VERY QUICKLY thinks to himself, "I want flocks of women chasing me".....and he picks up a stick of Axe deodorant. Out of all the 100's of choices he had, he chose the brand that stuck out to him, solved his original problem, and gave him something extra.........because of the perceived value.

Understand now?

People join people.......just as people join brands. If your not sticking out from the rest of the 100's of choices.....no one will ever notice you! If you aren't adding value to your brand (You, Inc) then the potential buyer will choose another brand (Other Guy, Inc) that does.

People seem to make excuses instead of admitting things are their fault. This is linked to fear of rejection.....it happens. 95% of the people you introduce to your business will say NO (So get over it NOW). The reasons for them saying no cannot be found in no other place, or resource....but yourself. - (unless their not even in your targeted audience...then you have a different problem) You know what your doing right, and you know what your doing wrong. For starters.....stop doing things wrong! Focus on what your doing right, and focus more on it. You don't have to know everything now, you actually will never know everything. The things you do know how to do right will lead you to understand why and how to not do things wrong. Let me say that again.

The things you do know how to do right will lead you to understand why and how to not do things wrong.

Until next time.

Studying "other" Successful Marketers/Guru's/Experts - you know...the "Big Guys"

One of the most important things I've learned since entering the Internet Marketing world, was to learn from the people who are already doing what you want to do. In the beginning I had no idea just who the successful marketers/Guru's/Experts were, because EVERYONE said that they were. So I went on trusting everyone who had a good lookin' website and claimed I could make a whole buncha money if I bought their product. As I hopped from person to person, opportunity to opportunity, sales page to sales page.....I noticed something. I haven't seen to much of the same people, always someone new. The only person that I grew to recognize was Mike Filsame, so I started to follow him. I really did grow alot reading what he wrote and watching how he marketed. That guy always had a new website....I could tell he was making bucks! ANYWAY....as you know in the internet marketing world, most all the "big guys" know each other and promote each others stuff. This method introduced me to alot of intelligent and cool people such as Frank Kern, Mike Dillard and Yanik Silver. You'll hear enough about Frank and Mike from me as time passes, but this Yanik guy.....I gotta tell ya.....He is one smart dude.

In efforts to study Frank Kern (A Real Mass Controller), I went through all my Older > Gmail to see if I could find any nuggets I forgot about or never noticed (and yes...I found a pile of nuggets!!) . There were 82 e-mails that mentioned the name Frank Kern, and I finally attracted a truckload of nuggets in e-mail #25 from Jeff Walker on Nov.21.08. He was talking about saving copywriting in Swipe Files (...hope you have one....better yet you better have one!!....Create New > Folder > "Swipe Files".....then copy & paste whatever you like). He was talking about how he's swiped from Frank and a few other guys but his friend Yanik Silver had a new site that launched with a "REALLY killer sales letter". So I decided to check it out, because copy is very important! So I clicked the link...and here's this super long sales letter that I didn't want to read. (While Scrolling) I saw a numbered list and went back up to read it. (Get Ready!) That list was actually what he was giving away on his site. (for free....sorta)

He called it"The 34 Rules for Maverick Entrepreneurs". (he said he didn't want to keep them a secret so he posted them on his blog and got 369 comments!)

Ladies & Gentlemen, Newbies and Smart Beginners, Marketer's Guru's & Experts.....I present to you.....

(From Yanik Silver)

"The 34 Rules for Maverick Entrepreneurs"
(soak it in one at a time for best results)

"

1. It's got to be a BIG idea that you, your team and your customers can "get" in seconds.
2. Strive to create 10x -- 100x in value for any price you charge. Your rewards are always proportionate to the value you provide.
3. You must charge a premium price so you have a large margin to provide an extraordinary value & experience.
4. Provide a 'Reason Why' customers should do business with you and pay you a premium.
5. Get paid before you deliver your product or service. And when possible figure out how to create recurring revenue from transactions.
6. You get to make the rules for your business. Don't let industry norms dictate how you'll work or who you'll work with.
7. Create your business around your life instead of settling for your life around your business.
8. Consistently and constantly force yourself to focus on the 'critically few' proactive activities that produce exponential results. Don't get caught up in minutia & bullshit.
9. Seek to minimize start-up risk but have maximum upside potential.
10. Get your idea out there as fast as possible even if it's not quite ready by setting must-hit deadlines. Let the market tell you if you have a winner or not. If not -- move on and fail forward fast! If it's got potential -- then you can make it better.
11. Find partners and team members who are strong where you are weak and appreciate being paid on results.
12. Your reputation always counts. Honor your obligations and agreements.
13. Never, ever get paid based on hours worked.
14. Leverage your marketing activities exponentially by using direct response methods and testing.
15. Measure and track your marketing so you know what's working and what's not.
16. Bootstrap. Having too much capital leads to incredible waste and doing things using conventional means.
17. Your partners and employees actions are their true core -- not what they tell you.
18. Keep asking the right questions to come up with innovative solutions. "How?", "What?", "Where?", "Who Else?" & "Why?" open up possibilities.
19. You'll never have a perfect business and you'll never be totally "done". Deal with it.
20. Focus most of your time on your core strengths and less time working in areas you suck at.
21. Make it easier for customers to buy by taking away the risk of the transaction by guaranteeing what you do in a meaningful way.
22. Always have something else to sell (via upsell, cross-sell, follow-up offer, etc) whenever a transaction takes place. The hottest buyer in the world is one who just gave you money.
23. Always go back to your existing customers with exceptional offers and reasons they should give you more money. It's 5x less expensive to sell to happy customers than go find new ones.
24. However the flip side is - fire your most annoying customers. They'll be replaced with the right ones.
25. The marketplace and competitors are always trying to beat you down to a commodity. Don't let that happen.
26. Develop and build your business's personality that stands out. People want to buy from people.
27. Create your own category so you can be first in the consumer's mind.
28. Go the opposite direction competitors are headed -- you'll stand out.
29. Mastermind and collaborate with other smart entrepreneurs if they have futures that are even bigger than their present.
30. Celebrate your victories. It's too easy to simply move on to your next goal without acknowledging and appreciating the 'win'.
31. Make your business AND doing business with you FUN!
32. Do the unexpected before and after anything goes wrong so customers are compelled to 'share your story'.
33. Get a life! Business and making money are important but your life is the sum total of your experiences. Go out and create experiences & adventures so you can come back renewed and inspired for your next big thing.
34. Give back! Commit to taking a % of your company's sales and make a difference. If this becomes a habit like brushing your teeth pretty soon the big checks with lots of zeros won't be scary to write. If you think you can't donate a percentage of your sales simply raise your price.

Abundant Thinking - My Newest Reality

So I finally came to the conclusion of wondering how to achieve success. Yes, it is through positive thinking, but a deeper concentration is needed. Certain emotions have to be blocked out of your life forever, to see manifestation in its true form. You have to LET GO of ALL worry and doubt, because those two things will continue to push your desires farther & farther away from you.

What is your reason to fear? What are you scared of? Are you scared of failing? Are you scared of being rejected? In order to have experience in something you have to fail. The thing that most people don't do.........is fail forward.

What are you doubting? Do you doubt you can get people to your website? Do you doubt that you can make 6 figures online? Maybe the real question is how do you do it? I'll admit that its intimidating to be a newcomer, or "smart beginner" living in the online world. But once you change the way you think, you automatically become a expert (or guru as some say). Why? Because the folks who've made 6 figures, even millions of dollars online all have the same thing in common....a successful mindset.

I'm not sure of your level of belief, but if you don't believe, you won't become who you want to be. Simple as that. The hard part is training your thoughts, and killing the demons that frequently show up in them. Your familiar with the demons I'm speaking of right? Fear, doubt, frustration, anger? Yep. Those are the demons that haunt your thoughts and keep you from the things you truly want. The power of the mind is the most life-changing information I've ever learned. As I continued to grow, so did my thoughts. But I couldn't figure out why my life wasn't turning around. I didn't understand until Mike Dillard called them demons. These emotional demons send out a strong energy, and overlaps the energy of positivity you once had; pushing your desires further away.

I hope your beginning to understand in a more complex way than what you've learned before. The Law of Attraction has became a global phenomenon ever since the release of "The Secret". That DVD really did change my life, the only problem with it was that it ended! I wanted to be fed more of this new found knowledge. I thirsted for more control of my life, and now that I had proof it was a way to do so...I was eager to learn all I could. I first wanted to understand the concepts, so that I would be able to teach them to others. When I did, life started making more sense from that day on.

These days, I've grown remarkably and I no longer consider the Law a concept, its the true Laws of Nature, the Laws of Life, The Laws of the Universe. What you firmly hold in your mind to be true, will manifest into real physical or material form for that truth to be real. It is what you created, what you desired. Good or bad. Positive or negative.

My belief. My future.
Mike

Until You Change - Nothing Else Will

I am what I think about the most, a success. You are what you think about most. It is no limit to the person you can be. If you allow it, you can receive anything in life you desire. If you desire wealth, there are things you need to do to receive it. Anyone can obtain it, because it has already been promised and gave to us. We live in a perfect world, and it is US who see's the imperfection. Good & Bad are the judgments of our feelings. It's not good nor bad until we make it that way. Remove the feelings of emotional attachment. That is what's holding you back from seeing all of your desires come into physical or material manifestation.

Have you accepted abundance? This was a vague question I asked myself for about 2 weeks before I could even put the content with it. I knew that the right moment would come and the lightbulb would turn on in my head and I'd get it. Well....thanks to Mike Dillard the lightbulb is on and shining BRIGHT! There is no way that we can achieve the success we want if we are fearful about the outcome. What is the need to fear? You set your mind to accomplish success and that's what the outcome is going to be. Instead, some people choose to think about how they will get traffic, how will they get them to signup, how will they get them to join their business, how will they start generating income......NONE OF THAT MATTERS!!

Your job is to continue focusing on the things that you want, SUCCESS & ABUNDANCE! Do me a favor...say the word "abundance"...doesn't it feel good to say it? Just think about how good it feels to have it! Those are the thoughts you need to have. The thoughts of already being in possession of your desires. Think with the end in mind whenever you are trying to manifest a desire. Do me another favor.....say the word "manifest"......doesn't it feel good to say it? Just think about how good it feels to do it! Manifesting the things you want is up to your thought control and your emotional stabilization. If you are worried, fearful, and doutbful then you will never get the things you desire....only the things you despise.

People set themselves up for failure and don't realize their doing it. Then they wonder why things are going the way it's going, or why people are acting the way their acting. Every physical or material condition in life is a representation of our previous thoughts! If you chose to think that something bad was going to happen..then that's whats going to happen! If you chose to think that someone would double cross you....then that's whats going to happen! What you think about....comes about. It will always happen that way, because it always has happened that way. The way to reverse this habit is to reverse your habitual thinking. Rid of all the demons that are controlling your life and the lives of those closely around you. Fear, anxiety, doubt, insecurity and frustration are all demons! They will haunt you until you block them out of your life and kill them once and for all!

If you really want to live a life of true abundance (not just speaking of money!!!) You have to want to live a life of true abundance. Place abundance in your inner self (love yourself), place abundance in your family (love them), place abundance in your friends (love them), place abundance in your work (love what you do). It may seem like a easy task for some, but if your not seeing the success you want then your doing something wrong. Live the life you want to live and you'll become the person you want to be. I cannot get these thoughts out of my head and I've been trying to tell as many people as I know. the world deserves change and it's up to you to change it! In whatever way you can, bring a positive change to the world. That is the true meaning of being a leader....bringing change and LEADING!

Perry Belcher - The Twitter Man

If you haven't heard the LOUD buzz about Twitter, and social media as a whole, then you must live under a big rock. Perry Belcher has been giving out free content on how to become a Twitter master for a weeks and if you've never heard of him....your behind. I hope your using Twitter...it's "so hot right now."

Welcome

I'll say this now, this blog will be one of the best blogs you've ever read (if you keep up with ALL the postings). This is my personal online business blog and I plan on sharing everything I learn with you right here. The beginning of my teachings will be about the power of the mind; The Laws of The Universe. Until we learn how to obey these laws, we'll always be in jail. I have wrote a ton of things relating to this subject, so instead of copying/pasting all of them you should subscribe to my daily newsletter to get caught up. Sign up to the right at the top.
