Progress Report

February 10th, 2010

Well it has been over a week now since I have ventured out into the world of full time Internet Marketing.

To tell the truth, it is just as challenging as I thought it would be, but with these things the answer is persistence.

For starters, I know I should spend more time making blog posts, as well as building my email list.

In regards to email lists, My new site, http://timemanagementmindset.com is doing well. I am getting some traffic through, as well as a number of visitors signing up for my newsletter there.

My main form of marketing for the Time Management Mindset has been through Article Marketing. I am getting a reasonable amount of traffic from Ezinearticles, even though I have only posted two articles there so far. I need to ramp that side of things up a little. Feel free to read my articles at Ezinearticles.

Another Traffic Method I am using currently for my Time Management Mindset site is Article Marketing Automation. I have recommended this site previously, but must mention it again. AMA spins your articles, & posts them on other relivant blogs. This is dribbled out to other sites, so Google does not get upset with you. Check them out, It is well worth the effort.

Over the past week I have been putting together a new product on Product Creation. I am hoping to launch this within the next week. This will actually be a physical product that I am putting together. My Product Creation Product is a series of videos, on the quickest way for creating your own product.

More about that soon….

I have quite a number of projects in the works, so balancing them all together does take a lot of juggling. I am finding, that I can sometimes get very distracted with the little things. That is why, I must refocus each day and keep my “To Do” list close at hand, as well as my “Goal List”. Both of these are very important if I want my Internet Marketing Career to kick off in a big way.

Something else I have recently come across is a viral way to build your email list. Sounds interesting, but I recommend you check it out here at the Viral Secret.

I have been thinking lately about making a post regarding some of my other websites. Many of these need a major over haul, but before I do, I would love your feedback. So please come back in the next couple of days, as I will have a feedback form I would love for you to fill out.

One of these is a Internet Marketing Software site. I highly recommend that you have a closer look at some of the great tools that are available there. Head over to Perfect Money Makers, and download one of the free trial products that are available.

I am also spending a lot of time learning all I can about using Photoshop & Camtasia Video. I also have a product in the works for these also. Please keep posted.

Another little something I am doing to keep myself busy, is I have recently got myself an Apple MacBook Pro. I am slowly getting my head around how this works & how it is different to a PC. So much to learn…. So little time….

My tasks over the next week is to focus on some of my pile of paper work, finish my Product Creation System, and post some more articles at EzineArticles.

Anyway, I have probably rambled on a little too much for now, so I will sign off, & look forward to chatting with you again soon.

BTW. I have also recently setup a Helpdesk system, where you can get in touch with me. This is also a work in progress. Come and visit at http://support.webworkscentral.com

To Your Success,

Rob Willis

Efficient Time Management In 5 Simple Steps

February 5th, 2010

Being master of our own life and time is attainable, simply by aquiring and practicing 5 time management skills.Of course, these have to be learnt and improved over time, but you really have to start with the basics in order to make your planning useful and accurate. The first step for success is preparing a simple to do list and ranking your tasks in terms of importance, but there are other aspects that you need to think about as well.

Estimating with reasonable accuracy how much your planned tasks will take you, is something that you have to do. To master this particular time management technique, all you require is to use a simple activity log. You will be able to assign your time better, if you begin writing down how much time all of your normal work and daily jobs take you, and it will also help you to pinpoint your strengths and weaknesses. This will also assist you in identifying your priority tasks.

Consider procrastination as if it were the plague – avoid it at all costs. Conquering this skill is probably the most important. Normally most of us procrastinate simply due to fear of failure or lack of inspiration. You must understand why you are procrastinating and do whatever you can to overcome this problem.It is a good idea to set a reward for completing a task you are procrastinating about. Think about al of the negative results of not doing the assignment at all, and you will get motivated in no time.

Another of the indispensable time management techiques that you need to master, is that of Motivation. Identifying your own motivation is an absolute necessity, you cannot rely on others to constantly be there to encourage you. Use whatever approach it takes to motivate yourself. Having a positive mindset will allow you complete even the most daunting of jobs.

Stress Management is another important skill you should learn. If things don’t go the way you have thought, stop and turn to your source of motivation. To avoid stressful situations, you might also want to allow more flexibility in your plan.

Another time management skill to master is to arrange your home life. You can improve all the other important techniques such as stress management and motivation, simply by allocating some time just for yourself.

Time Management – The Most Crucial Items You Have to Understand.

February 1st, 2010

With all the data available today on time management, the whole subject can simply become a bit confusing. Most time management tips and ideas that are available, just tell you what to do instead of explaining the how and why behind the advice. Many of the systems and guides that are available today, are simply not applicable or relevant to you or your situation. So prior to employing any tools, ideas and techniques, you should get your head around the basic concepts .

Time management cannot be assigned a precise definition however it can be simply described as a set of techniques allowing you to use your time in terms of efficiency and by doing this you are supposed to achieve success and harmony in all aspects of your life. With this in mind, you may think about questioning yourself if you have the need to be more time efficient.The fact of the matter is that many of us need the skills to achieve a certain degree of organization, but it is important to understand that time is not ours to control.

An essential part in your time management, is what the personal factor will play. Techniques and systems that you are offered are simpler to evaluate. once you understand this rule.You will discover that you do not require much more than the basics for effective scheduling and planning – an easy way in which to prioritize your activities, a relatively precise judgment on how much time each item takes you and some kind of a personal organizing system (be it a diary, notepad or electronic) in which to allocate times for every activity you have to do. Going into more detail about time management is often not needed unless you have to set a method for schedulling and planning or ammend it to work in your particular situation.

One of the most vital things you must understand regarding time management is that it is there to assist you and not the other way round. It is far more crucial to focus your energies into completing your activities than on planning them to be done more efficiently. Being realistic about your capabilities, strengths and weaknesses when putting together your schedules will assist you to truely stick to your plan and accomplish all your goals and dreams.

A New Beginning

February 1st, 2010

Well it is now official!!

As of today, I start my new adventure as a full time Internet Marketer.

Of course as I step into this new venture, I have mixed emotions. Fear, Trepidation, Excitement, Relief. However, I am not going to let anything get in my way to making this work.

Now I understand, that in and of itself, Internet Marketing is also a job, however it is a job that you can do from anywhere, as long as you have a computer and an Internet connection.

Also, I understand that in the early days/months of Internet Marketing, there is a lot of work in putting down your foundations and creating products. However in the long run, not as the amount of effort required to make money in this arena, becomes less and less (if you do the right things, on a consistent basis).

There is however the need to treat this as a job in the early stages. Make sure that you put in the time to make it all work.

I know working from home can be very distracting, especially when your work involves the Internet. It is so easy to be sidetracked by email, Facebook, Twitter, and other web sites. All of these are important, but if they are not done in a controlled manner, you will find that they will simply stop you from doing any real work that will ultimately make you the money that we all want to be making.

This is why, the first product that I have created & am launching here today is the “Time Management Mindset“.

You see, as an Internet Marketer, we need to manage our time more effectively than those that have jobs. In a job, you have a boss that usually makes sure that you are getting your work done. But as an Internet Marketer, you only really have yourself. So at all times you must make sure that you are doing the most profitable task at any one time.

Sometimes, the most important task will be to spend 30 minutes on Twitter or Facebook. Other times you should be in the forums, asking questions and helping others. Or you might be answering emails, and responding to support requests. Or most importantly spending time your time with family & friends.

You see without a proper Time Management Plan, our priorities can get all screwed up. We start to spend Major Time on Minor Things, and of course, Minor Time on Major Things.

So if you are interested, I invite you to visit my latest site; The Time Management Mindset.

To Your Success,

Rob Willis

The Passing Of A Legend

December 8th, 2009

The Passing of a Legend

Jim Rohn, a treasured mentor & teacher, passed away Saturday, December 5, 2009.

For nearly 50 years Jim traveled the world and inspired the people he came in contact with. I loved how unique Jim was. He always had a very unique take on something that we had heard many times before. He could always get a new nugget out of an old truth. No one set the standard of excellence higher than Jim, and his unique ability to transmit complex ideas into easy-to-understand actions is without peer. His mortal life may have transitioned, however his message, his contribution, his works, his integrity and humility are immortal. His voice will be heard for generations to come.

He raised the bar in our industry to an incredible level, never having to tout or promote his works from the platform. His lessons sold themselves. He never sought fame nor material riches. He was, is and will always be one of the world’s most authentic and valuable teachers in how to live successfully.

Jim Rohn touched millions of lives over the past 46 years through his seminars, books, articles and CDs. He was known to stay long after an event, shaking hands, taking pictures and signing autographs. He loved making a difference in people’s lives—that was his passion and inspiration. Yet he was also a private man who kept a small, loyal and caring inner circle. He was a tremendous friend to those who knew him.

Harold Dyke, long-time close friend of Jim’s for over 55 years, said it best, “As Jim is ending one life, he is simultaneously being birthed into a new life, one that he has talked about over the years and anticipated with great joy in his last days.”

Kyle Wilson, long-time colleague and friend of Jim, had this to say about his mentor: “Jim Rohn was a great human being. Jim had the rare ability to take any concept or idea and then frame it in such a way that the rest of us could see it more clearly. His wisdom and insights positively affected everyone he touched on some level and to so many of us it was in an extraordinary way. But even more impressive was Jim Rohn the man. He possessed style and charisma, yet was humble, kind and understated to all who knew him. I find myself every day reflecting, benefiting from and passing on the wisdom and ideas that are rooted in Jim’s message and wisdom. Jim is irreplaceable on every level. I will miss him beyond words, but am comforted as I know he was, that his message and legacy will live on and positively change millions of lives over the years to come!”

Someone once said, “When you are born, you enter the world crying while everyone else is rejoicing, and when you die, hopefully, you have lived such a life that everyone will be crying while you are rejoicing.” Jim Rohn lived such a life.

Darren Hardy, dedicated student and Jim Rohn protégé for more than 15 years, said of Jim, “He was the most influential man in my life, second only to my father. Jim cemented my philosophical foundation and nourished my mind with ideas and ambitions never before imagined. He chiseled my character seminar by seminar, tape by tape, book by book, then CD by CD, hour by hour. Jim emboldened my belief, in me and in my most daring dreams. When I fell and was bloodied, he was there with encouraging words to help me get back up. When I didn’t think I could go on, Jim convinced me I was stronger than I imagined. When I wanted a shortcut, he reminded me there aren’t any. Even when I got too caught up in trying to achieve and succeed, Jim compelled me to leave room to live, to laugh and to love.”

Stuart Johnson, business associate and long-time admirer, said, “I was first introduced to the philosophies and teachings of Jim Rohn almost 25 years ago. And he made an immediate impression on me. I was amazed by how this modest and unassuming man could communicate such an extraordinarily powerful message in simple and straightforward terms. In person, one-on-one, he was as humble and down-to-earth as he was in front of an audience of thousands. I will treasure my personal memories of Jim and know that I will forever benefit from the wisdom of this remarkable man.”

There will be a private funeral held in the coming days. Plans and details are also being arranged for a Public Memorial Service to be held in the Los Angeles area in the near future. Details will be announced upon final confirmation at the Jim Rohn Tribute Site, where you will also find a special tribute to Jim. You are also encouraged to post your thoughts and remembrances of Jim on the Memorial Wall.

Simplify & Prioritise

September 17th, 2009

TimemanagementIt’s been a couple of weeks since my last post, (Almost sounds like I am making a confession) and I can only say that my priorities have been a little out of whack.

Of late it sometimes seems that my life is not my own. I have been pulled this way & that by different things in my life which have prevented me from focusing on my Internet Marketing endeavours. Things like work, family, tax, paperwork (my desk looks like a bomb has hit it), etc, have all contributed to not being able to focus on my goals.

It is times like this that I need to stop, refocus, simplify & prioritise.

I believe that this is good advise for anyone who is wanting to get ahead in this journey we call life. Things and events do crop up from time to time that knock us off path for a while, and then we get into a bit of a spin when we lose direction and don’t know which way to go.

STOP

The first thing we need to do in this situation is simply Stop. We need to get away, take some time out, and find a place where we can spend a few hours by ourselves where we will not be disturbed. I know this can be very difficult sometimes, but it is something that we must do. Even if you have to get up at 3:00am in the morning and just spend some quiet time every once in a while you should just make the time.

Spending some quiet time helps you to re-energise. When you have nothing or anybody making any demands on your time, you can relax and most importantly think about the things that are important to you.

I would also suggest that if you decide to go for a long walk or whatever it is you need to do to relax, do it in silence. Don’t take your iPod, Radio or Phone with you. The silence will help you to regroup & think. Also, don’t let your mind wander off to the things that you should be doing, or about the problems and challenges that you are facing, but simply think about your goals and for that matter your perfect life.

Refocus

After you have spend some quiet time, pick up a pen and some paper and start to write down what it is you want out of life. Write down your goals, and take some time to write them out in detail.

When you have your thoughts ideas and goals written down, think about how you are going to achieve them. Brian Tracy suggests using “Back from the Future” thinking. Imagine it is five years from today, that your life is perfect in every way. Now thing back over the past five years and think of all of the things that you have done and accomplished to get to where you are. Now write this down.

Your goals help to not only keep you on track, they also encourage you to stick with it. They help you through those tough times, and to do all of those things you don’t want to do, which are simply stepping stones to get you to your destination.

Having your goals written down, helps you to focus on what you want, and where you want to go. After all, as the Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland says, “If you don’t know where you are going, it doesn’t matter which road you take.”

Simplify

Now is the time to start simplifying your life. There are so many things in our life that we deem to be important, that when you really put them in the right perspective and how they fit into your goals, they are not important at all.

Where possible, review everything that you do each day, and stop doing the things that are not moving you closer to your goal.

Obviously there are those things that we have to do, such as spending time with family and our jobs, but other things such as 20 hours a week of television can easily be reduced to 4 or 5 hours a week.

Make a list of a typical week, or even spend a week and write down everything that you do. Break your list down into 15 minute blocks, and at the end of the week, analyse exactly how you spend a typical week. This can be a real eye opener for most people.

Now simply, where possible, stop doing the things that are not moving you towards your goals. Start scheduling your days, your weeks and even your months and years.

Prioritise

Now you have a list of goals and an idea about what you need to do to achieve them, you need to prioritise.

Prioritise the things on your list, and rate each tasks importance on a scale of 1 to 10. (Be sure to include time with your family and some R&R on your list)

When you have done this rewrite your list and group them by importance or priority. Then write out a plan to start working on your goals straight away.

Now you know what is really important to you, and where you want to go, you now have a plan of action so you can move forward and start achieving your goals.

Action

Probably the most important thing to do once you have your list of goals and you plan, is to take immediate action.

Do something every day that moves you closer to where you want to be.

And in the words of Winston Churchill “Never, never, never, never give up”

25 Things You May Not Know About Me

September 2nd, 2009

Rob WillisLike many others I have been tagged! I have been given the challenge to write a list of things that people do not know about me.

This challenge was originally thrown down by Gary Simpson (Gazz-man), and as a result I was tagged by Petra Weiss.

Always up for the challenge, I decide to add my list.



1. I have a real passion for personal development

Ever since reading the book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, I have been deeply committed to improving myself & helping those around me. Since that time I have become a student of Jim Rohn, Zig Ziglar, Brian Tracy, Mark Victor Hansen, just to name a few.

My Mission Statement reads: ” To assist and encourage others to achieve their full potential in life”.

I have recently been approached by the Brian Tracy Group to join the to achieve this goal.

Check out iLearingGlobal.tv



2. I am Self Employed as an IT Consultant

I have been working in the IT industry for over 20 years now. In that time I have paid my dues & now work as an IT Consultant.

(Yeah, I know this sounds boring, and at times it is) I am currently working towards a full time Internet Marketer.

Arc de Triomphe



3. I once took a photo of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris with no Cars in view

For those of you who don’t know, the Arc de Triomphe stands in the centre of one of the busiest round-a-bouts on the world.

It was by sheer luck that I happened to take a photo with no cars to be seen.



4. I have scuba dived in the Great Barrier Reef

While on holidays in Cairnes,  Queensland Australia, I had the opportunity to go diving on the Great Barrier Reef.

Although I had never been diving before, I had the chance to do an introductory dive. From that time onwards I have been hooked.



5. I have Sky Dived from 14,000 feet (Free Fall)

For my 40th Birthday, my wife bought me a skydive.

Not being one to do things by halves, I didn’t want to do a tandem dive, but a free fall.

Loved the experience & would recommend it to anyone that gets the opportunity.



6. I have performed on stage at the London Palladium in front of 2,000 people (Singing & Dancing)

While living in England between 2001 & 2003, I sat down & watched Moulin Rouge one day.

After watching I thought, “I could do that”, & then jumped on the Internet and looked for auditions.

Sure enough I found one & ended up singing & dancing on stage at the London Palladium.



7. I have a strong Christian background. Although I no longer practice (ie go to Church), I still believe

It is a funny thing faith. You either believe in the existence of God or you don’t.

I Do!



8. I am married and have 3 wonderful boys.

I got married back in 1993 on the hottest day ever recorded in Perth, Western Australia (46.7 degrees Celcius/116.06F)

Although we have had our moments, we are still happy together & have three wonderful boys, aged 16, 13 & 10



9. I am quite disorganized

I know I shouldn’t be quite this honest, but I am a little disorganised.

My desk is covered in paperwork, and I have many an unopened letter scattered about my office.

It is one of those things that I am working on.



10. I tend to be quite opinionated

This is a sticking point between my wife & myself.

If I believe in something strongly enough, I simply will not back down.

Here I am talking about core beliefs, not just a simple difference of opinion.

Things like moral conduct, sexual orientation, personal beliefs, etc.



11. I lived in England (Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire) for two years & worked at Tesco’s

Back at the start of 2001, one of my brothers died while riding his motor bike.

I decided shortly afterwards, that life was too short & you needed to live life to the fullest. (This is something I need to remind myself from time to time)

It was then that we decided to pack our bags & see the world from a different perspective.

So with 3 children in tow (aged 8, 5 & 1) we flew 24 hours to England.

This was a fantastic experience, that I would love to repeat one day.

(I will  have to blog about some of the stories I have)



12. I am not a pet lover

I can just here the backlash on this one.

I grew up with many pets as a child, but for some unknown reason I simply have no time for pets now.

About 20 month ago, I gave into my wife & boys and allowed them to get a pet dog. A Maltese Shiatsu.

I have still not warmed to the dog, although I have tried to get used to it.



13. I once helped demolish a house

Many years ago, as a fund raiser I had the chance to help demolish a house.

One of the people at out church, owned a demolition company & donated a job to the youth group, to demolish this house.

Now that is an experience to remember.



14. I have ridden shotgun in a demolition derby

Years ago, one of my friends decided to enter a car in a demotion derby at our local speedway.

His co-driver at the time had to pull out at the last minute (His parents did not want him to enter), so I ended up in the car.

Great fun!! Not something you get to do every day.



15. Favourite Book – Wuthering Heights

As I was growing up, I hated reading.

However, an old girlfriend of mine, introduced me to some of the classics & one of my all time favorites is Wuthering Heights.



16. Favourite Music – Don Henley

I have a very broad taste in music from Classical to Heavy metal (depending on the mood).

But one artist that I do not get sick of is Don Henley of the Eagles.

I have had the opportunity of seeing the Eagles live in concert twice now. Once at Earls Court in London & one at Subiaco Oval in Perth.

My favourite song by Don Henley is “Boys of Summer”



17. Favourite Movie – Lord of The Rings Trilogy

These movies are some of the most loyal to the book movies produced.

I would also have to add Silence of the Lambs to that list also.



18 . I leave things until the last minute

Probably one of my worst habits is leaving things until that last minute.

I am sure this is simply a case a getting organised and prioritising, but I often don’t get things done until I absolutely have to.



19. I work better from a list

Following on from the previous point, I find that I work far better if I have a list.

Give me a list of things to do & I will sweep through them very quickly.

The trouble is I do not often make my own lists….



20. I was once an Avon “lady” (representative) for a week

I don’t know if I have even told my wife about this one….

Back in about 1982, I traveled around Australia by bus.

I stayed with various friends I have made & needed to be able to pay my way.

One family I stayed with, the mother was an Avon representative, so being the young entrepreneur at heart I thought I would give it a go….

Needless to say, I was not very successful.



21. As a Child I had a Kangaroo as a pet

Contrary to popular belief, not every Australian child has a pet Kangaroo.

I however was one of the lucky children that did have one. (Actually I had 3 at one stage).

My parents applied & got a permit to get a kangaroo. Two of them escaped to the bush & one we ended up giving to the zoo.



22. I have sat in the Jump Seat of an airplane on landing (twice)

Long before September 11, I was flying on a business trip with my boss. He asked the air steward, if he could sit in the Jump Seat for take off. The steward said that it was too late, but suggested that he could have it for landing.

As my boss had “been there done that” he suggested that I take the jump seat.

That was an experience, unfortunately, unless you know someone now days, it is an experience not many people will get to have.

(The jumpseat is located just behind the pilots in the cockpit of an airplane)



23. I once saw someone jump to their death from the Eiffel Tower

Not the best of experiences I have ever had, but back in 2003, I was in Paris with a mate of mine who had come to visit while I was living in England.

We had a few hours to fill as we waited for your flight, so we decided to take a bit of a walk.

We walked under the Eiffel tower (which we climbed the day before) and started walking towards the Military Academy.

All of a sudden we heard all of these birds take off at once & the someone started to scream. Next thing we heard was what I thought to be a gun shot.

We turned around, and not 50 meters from where we stood, was what was left of someone splattered on the pavement.

The sad thing as this was probably 2 meters from a souvenir stand.

Not knowing how to process what had happened, my friend (who happened to be an Australian Police man) & I looked on and tried to work out the trajectory of the fall.



24. If I ever get stressed out, I love to take long walks along the beach

Like many people, I get a little stressed out from time to time & need some time out.

The best place for me to do this, is taking a long walk along a secluded beach and listen to music.

I find that after a two hour walk, I can start getting my head together again.



25. I can be a little lazy at times

I suppose further to point 18, unless I absolutely have to do something, I can tend to let it slide & not do it at all.

Although I am working on this, I still find it a little difficult get get the motivation to make some things happen.

So that is my list. There are many more things I could add, and perhaps I will add some more in further posts.

Feel free to post comments, ask questions and make a link to your own list.

To your Success

Rob

5 Powerful Mind Success Strategies

August 21st, 2009

thinkBuilding a business is a fantastic and challenging experience.  You can wake up exhilarated to begin your day and go to bed feeling overwhelmed and frustrated.  The key to success is to maintain a positive, yes you can do it, mindset.

Easier said than done, right?  Here are 5 keys to help you create and sustain a positive mindset so you attain the success you desire.



1. Surround yourself with successful and positive people. The influence people have over our own personal energy is amazing.  Moods and attitudes are so easily spread – think about how much of a difference a simple smile from a stranger can make for your day and then magnify it 1000 times to demonstrate the power of positive and successful friends, family and associates.  When you have people around you who inspire you, believe in you and want you to succeed, there’s no room for doubts and even when they creep up, they’re quickly swept away.



2. Create a mantra or an affirmation. Repeating positive affirmations has been shown to get people through tough times and to actually help them truly believe what they’re saying.

For example, “I am building a powerful and profitable business.”  Many of the most esteemed business professionals have used the same affirmation strategy to attain their success.  To find the right affirmations for you, consider writing a quick list of your doubts, insecurities and complaints.  These can then be quickly turned into affirmations.

For example, if you write that you’re always feeling disorganized then your affirmation would be, “I am organized and in control.”  Repeat your affirmations several times a day and feel the power of positive thinking.



3. Capture negative thoughts. We all have negative thoughts from time to time, however, negative thoughts and emotions can derail us and prevent us from achieving all we desire.  Of course catching those negative thoughts takes practice and persistence.  When you find yourself thinking negative thoughts or having negative emotions, find a trigger to turn them around.  The affirmations mentioned above are a great way to turn the negative into the positive.  You can also find quick pick me ups like a favorite song, a walk outside in the fresh air, or some exercise to help improve your mood.



4. Set goals/intentions and then be willing to let it go. The law of attraction says that we attract what we focus on the most.  However, desperation, needing your business to be a success, sends mixed messages and a lot of negativity into the universe.  Set your goals and intentions and then let them go.  A certain amount of faith in yourself and in the power of attraction is necessary.  Give it a try.



5. Be grateful. Gratitude is perhaps the single most powerful and positive tool for success.  When you’re grateful for all of the wonderful things and people in your life the challenges you face seem significantly less important and are more easily dealt with.

Consider keeping a gratitude journal and make a practice of entering into it daily.  That way, when you’re facing challenges a quick peek at all the amazing things in your life will make you feel as if you can tackle anything.   Additionally, an attitude of gratitude helps you maintain a positive perspective and to face challenges as opportunities rather than obstacles.



Success is within your reach and with the right attitude you can accomplish anything you set your sights on.  Embrace these five powerful mind success strategies and you’ll build a better business and live a happier, more satisfying life.

Internet Marketing! A Realistic View.

August 19th, 2009

2009-08-19_1717Internet Marketing is an interesting concept that so many of us struggle with.

For every successfull Internet Marketer on the Web, there are hundreds of other wanna-be’s who struggle to make any sales what so ever.

So many of us are trying to figure out what we are doing wrong. We go from program to program, buying the next lot of promises from the “Marketing Guru’s”, only to find our hard drives getting full of stuff that once again, didn’t give us our break.

So what is it that seperates the men from the boy’s (so to speak)? I would hazard to say it is their staying power. As I mentioned, many times we try a new program for a few weeks, and then after little of no success we are out looking for something else.

I would venture to say, that if we were to commit ourselves to focus on one program for a minimum of six months, we might just start to see the results we are so desperate to acheive.

I am writtinf this Blog, not onky for there marketers out there that are struggling to succeed, but also for myself. I need to take my own advice & become laser focused on the task at hand.

I have spent literally thousands of pounds (dollars) on Internet marketing programs and courses, many of which I have never even looked at. Each time hoping that this will be the key to my success. But alas, each time I get disappointed once again and find that my marketing attempts slip further from my grasp.

In some ways I think that maybe I need a mentor who will guide me along and keep me accountable. I think if I had someone to help me I would be able to focus. But again, Montors cost money, and that is something I do not have at the moment.

I think in some ways I am using that as an excuse. I read somewhere once that we are our own greatest critic, and we must become accountable to ourselves.

The best way I have found to be accountable to myself is to keep a journal. In my Journal, I write down my goals and my dreams, and a to to list of what I plan to acomplish each day. A schedule you could say.

This way I can monitor exactly where I am at and move forward to my marketing goals.

So in a nutshell, I see one of the main ingredients to successful Internet Marketing as being focused and commited to one project or program at a time for a period of at least six months.

So before you go out and spend another dollar on yet another product, go back and look at what you have on you hard drive and bookshelf and see if you can focus your energies and get that to working.
