Info Marketing 101 — Know your Boundaries

In the information/training indus­try, there seem to be a lot of folks teach­ing the wrong things… Whether you’re suc­cess­ful in sell­ing the infor­ma­tion or not, it’s absolutely imper­a­tive that you do not sell infor­ma­tion or attempt to “train” peo­ple on things that you have lit­tle or no expe­ri­ence in yourself.

It’s kinda obvi­ous, I know… But more and more peo­ple are being mis­led by other peo­ple who teach things that they have not even done them­selves… If you’re a vic­tim of this, there’s noth­ing wrong with you… But now’s the time to get things straight and under­stand what you can & can­not teach, and I’m going to show you the solu­tion to this once & for all…

Here’s the deal…

  1. If you have not done it your­self, & have not had lots of suc­cess doing it, you should not be teach­ing it at all… PERIOD!!
  2. If you have done it a lit­tle, and know how to do it from expe­ri­ence, but haven’t had too much suc­cess with it, you have the right to teach only the peo­ple who want the same level of suc­cess you’ve had with it.
  3. And if you have done it 1,000 times or more, and know it inside and out, and you have had TONS of suc­cess with it, by all means you are wor­thy of teach­ing it to just about any­body who wants to have the same suc­cess you’ve had in it.

Are you catch­ing my drift here?

You have no busi­ness teach­ing some­thing you don’t do yourself!

Don’t try to teach some­thing that you have lit­tle or no expe­ri­ence in and have not had any suc­cess in… New­bies (I mean com­plete NEWBIES) claim­ing that they’re experts in some field that they have not done even once.

Like for exam­ple, I’ve seen a few peo­ple claim they can show me how to gen­er­ate 15–20 leads a day for my busi­ness… But when I call them up & ask them how many leads they’re gen­er­at­ing, they kinda stum­ble a lit­tle bit and can’t answer my ques­tion (in case you’re won­der­ing, the typ­i­cal answer is 0–1 lead per day lol).

Another guy says he can show me how to reach the top level of my net­work mar­ket­ing busi­ness… I call him up & ask him how he’s doing in his busi­ness, and he says he’s been in it for 5 years and has only reached the third level of his com­pany (just a few peo­ple in his orga­ni­za­tion)… What the heck does he know about reach­ing the top? NOTHING!!

I don’t expect you to know any­thing about what I’m talk­ing about, because you might not be in the train­ing indus­try or have an infor­ma­tion busi­ness… But I just wanted to make this post for the folks who are…

You need to set your bound­aries & fully under­stand what you can & can­not teach!

You can’t teach a self made multi-millionaire stock investor how to invest in the stock mar­ket, if your net­worth is just a cou­ple mil­lion… You can not teach a multi-millionaire real estate expert real estate secrets, if you’ve only made a cou­ple hun­dred thou­sand in real estate… Same goes for MLM… You can’t teach a multi-millionaire net­work mar­keter how to reach the top level of a com­pany, if you’ve never made it to the top.

BUT!!!…

You can teach peo­ple what YOU KNOW, and what you’ve done!

If you’re worth a cou­ple mil­lion in the stock mar­ket, you can teach a begin­ner or even an inter­me­di­ate stock investor how to get their first cou­ple million.

If you’ve made 6 fig­ure income from real estate and con­tinue to do so, you can teach begin­ners how to make their first 6 fig­ures in real estate.

The same goes for EVERYTHING!! Just know your level, and know your bound­aries, and make it very clear when you talk to your clients, or they will assume that you have done it already, your­self, and sooner or later you will lose their trust forever.

Remem­ber, busi­ness is all about rela­tion­ships… Don’t ever screw that up… Don’t ever lie, cheat, or say any­thing that will ruin your rela­tion­ship with your clients… Tell them what they need to hear, not what they “want” to hear.

Now, that doesn’t mean that you can­not con­tinue to help peo­ple in your industry/niche, by refer­ring them to the right peo­ple and train­ing pro­gram who can train your clients in the sub­ject THEY know…

And it works out great for everyone!

  • Your clients get a trainer who actu­ally knows their stuff!
  • The trainer gets a new client!
  • And you get paid for help­ing everyone! Smile

That’s what it’s all about!

How to Posi­tion Your­self as a Leader in Your Indus­try With­out Hav­ing Any Experience

I wanna leave you with a cool tip for how you can still posi­tion your­self as a leader in your indus­try (even if you don’t know any­thing about it), with­out mis­lead­ing peo­ple and try­ing to teach some­thing you don’t know.

It’s as sim­ple as find­ing the real expert (try to find the best of the best), mak­ing a con­nec­tion with them, and ask­ing if you could refer clients to them. Smile

If you put your­self in their shoes (or san­dals - depend­ing on where they are in the world), and some­one comes up to you and asks you if they can send clients your way, what would you say?

I know I would say, “DEFINITELY! $end them right over!… Cha Ching!” Smile

But wait, there’s more!”

After the con­nec­tion is made, ask them if you two can do a train­ing together (via webi­nar, con­fer­ence call, etc.) so that you can kinda inter­view them and have them teach your clients what they know… So by the end of the call, every­one feels so blessed to know you and so edu­cated that they would like to learn more from them…

And you offer a spe­cial deal to your clients if they act within a cer­tain time frame, and with­out you doing any­thing really, sales are made, and everyone’s happy. Smile

Now, what if you recorded the inter­view, tran­scribed it & SOLD it as a spe­cial price to your clients? Or you could of course just give it away as a free­bie… And that inter­view con­tin­ued to bring in sale after sale, day & night, to your part­ner (the expert), and you get a piece of the action in the middle…

As long as the trainer really knows their stuff, why wouldn’t peo­ple sign up for their train­ing? And how much love would your clients give you, when you have intro­duced them to the expert? They will LOVE YOU to death!!

That’s being a leader & a great friend! Giv­ing peo­ple what they need to know, and not try­ing to pre­tend to be the one who “knows it all”… You’ll be help­ing your clients, help­ing your part­ner, and gain­ing respect from everyone!

Stay true, and be cool. Let me know how I can sup­port you!

What’s going on in my life right now (2/17/11)…

Hey folks,

I know I haven’t been around to blog for quite a while… But I think about you every­day. I promise! Smile And there’s still SO MUCH I want to share with you on this blog, but I have to take care of some per­sonal things first…

Just wanna let you know what I’ve been up to, in case any of you thought I died or some­thing. lol…

1. I’ve been writ­ing a sales page for a busi­ness part­ner of mine, named Kamal Zagale, who has done some AMAZING things in the Real Estate and MLM indus­try… He’s just a super awe­some guy to know (I highly rec­om­mend con­nect­ing with him & learn­ing every­thing you can from him) Wink He’s launch­ing a soft­ware and coach­ing pro­gram to teach peo­ple how to reach the top level of their net­work mar­ket­ing com­pany in the next 12 months. (he’s done it twice — once in 6 months & once in 3 months)

- I JUST FINISHED that!! Smile FINALLY!! Smile It’s actu­ally really hard to write a sales page for a prod­uct that you don’t own… I’m just start­ing to real­ize that (but I love to be challenged)

2. The project I’m work­ing on com­plet­ing right now, is a train­ing on how I close big client deals from work­shops… I have a whole sys­tem in place, and it works like a charm every time. In case you didn’t know, I have closed some amaz­ing deals with clients of all types… From multi-millionaire Entre­pre­neurs to famous Musi­cians, to BBC sup­ported Doc­u­men­tary Pro­duc­ers, to Non-profit orga­ni­za­tions with amaz­ing causes, and the list goes on…

- I’m about half way through with that! YEAH! Smile

3. Coach­ing 30 clients (more or less) a month… I have put a limit to just coach­ing 2 peo­ple per day max, because things were just get­ting too hec­tic for me… And it’s work­ing out great for me. Smile

I’ve been doing that, all while hav­ing a life. I con­tinue to take care of my health, my business(es), my rela­tion­ships, and education.

How do I bal­ance all this out? Well, I fol­low The Suc­cess Best Prac­tices… I sched­ule in my time every­thing! Clients, prod­uct cre­ation, rela­tion­ships, relax­ation time, edu­ca­tion, health, and can’t for­get clean­ing my house. lol.

One quick tip while you’re read­ing this… Sched­ule lit­tle 5–10 minute breaks through­out your day to do some­thing FUN, every 1–2 hours of work… So work for 2 hours & jump out of your seat & go have some FUN for a few min­utes! Then, come back to work for another 1–2 hours and jump out again for another 5–10 minutes! Wink

That alone has allowed me to accom­plish all the suc­cess I’ve had for the past few days while all the crazi­ness of life happens.

And if you ever take on a task that you really don’t know how long it takes to accom­plish, give your­self DOUBLE the time you think it would take. I thought I would be done with the sales page in 3 days (about 12 hours)… And after the sales page, I sched­uled in the Client prod­uct right after that… But I ended up tak­ing a whole week (20 hours) to fin­ish that darn sales page, and was behind on my schedule!

So trust me on this… You want to give your­self DOUBLE the time you orig­i­nally think it will take for you to do some­thing that you have never done before. Wink

Now, I’m going to get back to work on my Client prod­uct & I promise you will see more addi­tions to this blog that you are absolutely going to love! Just as soon as this whole launch thing set­tles down. Smile

In the mean­time, don’t hes­i­tate to let me know how I can sup­port you!

Rock on!

Wrong Intention” (Sorry for the Confusion)

The very first post I made on this blog talked about the power of Inten­tion & know­ing what you want to accom­plish in life… I real­ize that you might actu­ally want to accom­plish a whole bunch of dif­fer­ent things in dif­fer­ent areas of your life (we all do)…

Exam­ple:

  • Health — Run a Marathon
  • Finan­cial — Earn Mil­lion$ of Dollar$/year
  • Busi­ness — Change the World

So does that mean you should make your inten­tion set out to accom­plish all of the above?

Not nec­es­sar­ily.

I apol­o­gize for not mak­ing this point clearer from the begin­ning… But you have to focus on accom­plish­ing just ONE thing first…

Which ONE is the most BURNING one in you right now? (trust me there’s only ONE)… Even when you have mul­ti­ply things you would like to accom­plish in dif­fer­ent areas of your life, there’s really just one ULTIMATE vision… And if you don’t find that ONE ulti­mate vision, no mat­ter how pow­er­ful your inten­tion is, you’ll be mov­ing towards nothing…

If you set your “inten­tion” to do all those dif­fer­ent things at the same time, you won’t be able to focus on accom­plish­ing any of them… There’s no such thing as focus­ing on mul­ti­ple things at one time (it’s an oxy­moron) — Focus means con­cen­trat­ing your efforts and inten­tion on ONE objec­tive… So how do you dis­cover what your ulti­mate vision should be and where you should put your intention?

*PAY CLOSE ATTENTION NOW*

This is by far the MOST impor­tant ele­ment to becom­ing FREE!! Don’t wanna miss this…

The true mean­ing to FREEDOM & Suc­cess (at least for me) is being able to live the way you want… To be able to do what you want, how you want, when you want, and be com­pletely com­fort­able with ALL aspects of your life… It has noth­ing to do with money, fame, for­tune, man­sions, cars, clothes (those are just mate­ri­al­is­tic out­comes of your success)…

So how do you really be suc­cess­ful & free?

Do what you LOVE!! Fol­low your heart!! Dis­cover your TRUE Pas­sion, and go with it!

I don’t know a SINGLE Suc­cess­ful, Happy, and FREE per­son on Earth, who does not live their Pas­sion & do what they LOVE! But I do know a lot of peo­ple who have made a for­tune, who are the most DEPRESSED peo­ple in the world!

Through find­ing your Pas­sion in life, and real­iz­ing what really MOVES you, you can begin liv­ing life to its FULLEST!! And some peo­ple NEVER find their true pas­sion & never get to live free… So, your ulti­mate inten­tion should be your Calling…

“What is YOUR Calling?”

What have you been put on this planet to do? What is your pur­pose? Where does your heart’s true desire?

There are so many dif­fer­ent ways to fig­ure this out — depend­ing on what you’re already use to doing… Here are some of the most com­mon ways:

If you’re a writer - Sit down for a few min­utes, look at your life, and ask your­self, “What’s my call­ing?  What am I here to do?” & start jour­nal­ing your thoughts…

If you med­i­tate — Go ahead… Relax & sit up straight… Go to your spe­cial place, and ask your higher self the same ques­tion, “What’s my call­ing? What am I here to do?”

If you pray — Ask your higher power the same ques­tion, “What’s my call­ing? What am I here to do?” or ask he/she to bless you with the dis­cov­ery of your call­ing (ask for ideas)

If you talk to your­self in the shower — Ask your­self, “What’s my call­ing? What am I here to do?”

If you sleep — Just think to your­self, “What’s my call­ing? What am I here to do?” and con­cen­trate on that ques­tion for as long as you can, until you drift away to Imag­i­na­tion Land. Wink

*IMPORTANT:

No mat­ter which strat­egy you choose… If you don’t come up with the answer then & there, don’t worry — it will come… Just think on this for a few min­utes a day, and the answer will come when you least expect it…

That’s because the answer is ALREADY in you (you just have to find it) Wink

My Pur­pose & ULTIMATE Vision (My Example)

In case you’re still a lit­tle con­fused about what your INTENTION should be, here’s the exam­ple of myself:

Before:

My inten­tion was all scat­tered around… I had an “inten­tion” to accom­plish a whole bunch of stuff…

1. Health

  • Mas­ter Won Hwa Do

2. Business

  • Cre­ate a bunch of Niche Blogs (on all the things I’m into & A LOT of ran­dom stuff)
  • Have a bunch of Videos in dif­fer­ent niches
  • Have a bunch of Arti­cles in dif­fer­ent niches
  • Help 10,000 peo­ple improve their lives

3. Finan­cial

  • Make $250k/year

It actu­ally was a lot more cra­zier than this… Just to list the niche blogs one by one will over­whelm you… I just wanna give you a good idea of how scat­tered I was…

NOW… After I Found My Purpose:

My inten­tion is on ONE thing… And I can not express how AMAZINGLY free I feel to real­ize it… And now, every­day, I feel the fire really BURN in my heart!! Smile

My pur­pose is to:

“Give peo­ple hope & show them the way to freedom”

That pretty much sums it up… Those words mean a lot — remem­ber what I said free­dom means… It’s being able to do what you love, when you want, and noth­ing you wouldn’t want to do… I can show you how to get paid doing what you love, and that’s what I will show you how to do later on this blog. Wink

That’s my ULTIMATE vision… That’s my DRIVE! And from there, I just broke it down into indi­vid­ual goals to bring me there. Let me break it down for you — These are my goals:

1. Com­plete at least 1 chap­ter in my book (cat­e­gories on this blog) every month

==> Because that’s what I do here — Giv­ing you hope and show­ing you the way to freedom

2. Spread the word out to peo­ple who need it.

3. Work with teams of peo­ple who will help cre­ate my vision

==> I lever­age other people’s will­ing­ness to help, to make niche sites, arti­cles, videos, ebooks, train­ing pro­grams, coach­ing pro­grams, and other mate­r­ial that will ulti­mately help peo­ple live free, and expe­ri­ence more love & fun in their life.

4. Help at least 1 per­son a day in some way (with their busi­ness, mar­ket­ing, copy­writ­ing, goals, etc)

==> It feels so freak­ing AWESOME to wake up every­day know­ing that I’m going to help at least with some­thing that I am PASSIONATE about & that I LOVE!! Wink

Now, of course I still take care of my health… But right now, I’m focused on help­ing peo­ple live free… That’s my only inten­tion, and it’s what I live for! And frankly, mas­ter­ing Won Hwa Do is not really going to help peo­ple live free… So at the moment, I prac­tice Won Hwa Do just for the fun of it, and I don’t expect to mas­ter it any­time soon. Smile

I want to hear from you!!

What’s your pur­pose? What were you put on this planet to do? What is cur­rently BURNING in your heart? Truly, what do you want to do right now?

What­ever it is, I can help you!! Just let me know what it is. Wink

P.S. If you need help dis­cov­er­ing this burn­ing pas­sion & desire of yours, or fig­ur­ing out how to accom­plish it, just let me know… Fill out the form below, to sched­ule a 15 minute coach­ing call with me at no cost to you ($100 value), and what­ever you want to get done, we’ll find a way together.

NEVER Trust Yourself… You Are Your Own WORST Enemy!!

Here’s the deal…

If you have EVER set a goal for your­self or even PROMISED your­self that you would do some­thing, but you STILL did not accom­plish it, you are a vic­tim of your own worst enemy (yourself)…

NEVER EEEEEEEVER Trust Yourself!!

I real­ized this when I started mak­ing promises to myself, and I still didn’t fol­low through with them… UNTIL

I started promis­ing my Suc­cess Coach… Thats’ when the real magic hap­pened, because I was no longer hold­ing myself account­able (which I think is almost impos­si­ble), and some­one else was look­ing over my shoul­der, hold­ing me accountable!

And I don’t just mean hold­ing me account­able like “oh yeah, you bet­ter do this”, I mean lit­er­ally mak­ing me email every sin­gle day with an update on what I did for the day, and send­ing the proof to all my work — NO EXCUSES! And if I don’t do what I said I would do, I will lose points!!

FYI, the point sys­tem I speak of is a way to moti­vate me as a per­former to fol­low through with the promises I set out for myself… It helps a lot, because nobody likes los­ing points… I’ll talk about that on a future post. Wink

Why do you Suck at Hold­ing Your­self Accountable?

I don’t know the exact sci­ence behind it, but I believe it has some­thing to do with the way we were raised… We all grew up fol­low­ing orders from other peo­ple, and we’ve never really fol­lowed our own orders. We didn’t tell our­selves “Go to school!” or “Do your home­work” (at least I didn’t lol).

Our elders told us to do that… And the only rea­son we actu­ally did it was because they were watch­ing us to make sure that we did it! And if we dis­obeyed, there was always a con­se­quence (usu­ally a spank­ing — depend­ing on your time era of course).

If it were up to me, grow­ing up, I prob­a­bly wouldn’t even have gone to school every­day… Some days I just felt like sleep­ing in late, play­ing video games, or rock­ing out with my friends… But because my mother was hold­ing me account­able every morn­ing, and the gov­ern­ment made it a LAW that I can either go to school or pay a tru­ancy ticket, I went every­day I could.

Nat­u­rally, peo­ple just want to do what you feel like doing… But if you do not have the resources you need to do that yet, you need to work towards that goal by doing things that you might not feel like doing… But if you don’t feel like work­ing, you’ll end up doing nothing.

And that’s when the “excuses” come in…

“I’ll do it later”

“I don’t need to do it right now”

“This can wait”

“I’ll do it as soon as I fin­ish watch­ing The Office”… then “Oh! Bet­ter Off Ted is on! I’ll work after this episode”

“My toe is hurt­ing, so I can’t write that report”

And they just keep get­ting more & more clever… Who are you fool­ing? NOBODY!! You’re NEVER going to do it!!

The only rea­son you can get away with these ridicu­lous excuses, is because you choose to let your­self get away with them! And it’s ALWAYS going to be that way! Unless you…

Now, Here’s the Solution:

Just find some­one who will be YOUR Suc­cess Coach! Some­one you can talk to once a week for just a few min­utes at a time about your action plan… Some­one who you can email once a day with the suc­cess you have accom­plished for that day, and the stuff you did NOT fol­low through with…

And they will NOT accept any crappy excuses, or rea­sons why you didn’t do what you said you would do… You either do it or you don’t — no excuses or rea­sons why… ONLY success!

Every week, you two can go over your plan & fix any lit­tle glitches in your sys­tem to con­fig­ure your action plan in a way that makes more sense & fits your needs…

That’s what any real coach should do for you… If you know a Suc­cess Coach who can help you, get in touch with him or her & ask them if they can do you this favor… I promise, you’ll be ETERNALLY GRATEFUL you did!!

And if you don’t know any­one, you can always count on me. Wink I am a con­sul­tant for some big com­pa­nies & entre­pre­neurs, but I also COACH peo­ple & will hold you account­able to your promises with no excuses or rea­sons why you “didn’t”. Wink

You can receive a 15 minute con­sul­ta­tion with me ($100 value) at no cost, by fill­ing out this form below:

Word­press plu­gin expert and Mary­land Web Devel­oper Tay­lor Lovett

What kind of expe­ri­ence have you had with your own coach? And hold­ing your­self account­able vs. hav­ing some­one else hold you accountable?

I hope this post taught you a lot! If you know any­one who would ben­e­fit from it, please share with them! They’ll be happy you did! Wink

P.S. I want to do every­thing in my power to help you suc­ceed & live your dreams!! I say that all the time because I really mean it! So if you need me to hold you account­able, please don’t hes­i­tate to ask!!

But you absolutely NEED some­one to start hold­ing you account­able RIGHT NOW!! You NEED a Suc­cess Coach start­ing NOW!! Mak­ing promises to your­self is NOT enough!

Goals Are Pointless… Here’s What You REALLY Need (Ancient SECRET Trick)…

You might be won­der­ing why the heck I’m say­ing that goals are point­less, when I’ve been preach­ing that hav­ing goals in place are the foun­da­tion for your suc­cess… Well, I didn’t mean to deceive you at all, and I’m sorry if I did…

But the fact of the mat­ter is that if you have set goals for your­self in the past, and never actu­ally achieved them, you have basi­cally trained your mind to NEVER accom­plish goals… And this can be for a num­ber of rea­sons, which will be explained in a future post… If this is your case, I want to share the solu­tion to this problem…

You see, since you’ve already pro­grammed your mind to believe that goals are meant to never be accom­plished, you can either invest in some hyp­no­tiz­ing to MAKE you believe that goals are meant for you to accom­plish… Or…

(Here’s the REAL Secret)…

You can just CHANGE the word you use, to some­thing that you ALREADY believe is meant for you to accomplish.

I learned this from a BRILLIANT Suc­cess Coach, named Chris Turner… He knows that when he sets a goal, his mind is so pro­grammed to not accom­plish them, that he just doesn’t even bother set­ting them… Instead, he makes a PROMISE to him­self that he will do it, and his word is MUCH stronger than “a goal”, so he does EVERYTHING in his power to fol­low­ing through with his PROMISE, and he gets it done! Wink

After he taught me that, I started mak­ing promises to myself & it really did make a dif­fer­ence in my per­for­mance! Because I hon­estly feel like mak­ing a promise FORCES me to fol­low through with it, no mat­ter what the stakes are. I have NEVER bro­ken a promise, and I intend to do every­thing I can to keep it that way… So I don’t make promises I won’t keep, and it works won­ders for my own per­sonal “goal setting”.

You can learn more from Chris Turner & con­nect with him at Chris-Turner.com

Now, I’m not say­ing this one word will work for every­one… For all I know, you might be known to break promises, and if that’s the case you need to come up with a dif­fer­ent word. Some­thing that you can use to really hold your­self account­able to…

WARNING: The fol­low­ing might offend some of you (but these phrases might work for some peo­ple bet­ter than promise) — so if you’ve never bro­ken a promise use PROMISE as your new word & dis­re­gard the lit­tle box below

================================================================

Here are some examples:

Swear”

Swear to God”

Promise to God”

Put it on my mama”

Put it on my daddy”

Put it on my family”

Put it on my hood” (I hear this one a lot in LA)

================================================================

So now that you know the secret… Stop mak­ing goals & start mak­ing promises! (or what­ever your word is)…

Write them down, and tell your­self that you WILL do this, if it’s the last thing you do!!

Get’r done!!

P.S. You might notice that I’ll still use the word, goal in future posts… I do this for the sake of those who did not read this post… But always remem­ber — a promise is much more pow­er­ful than a goal. Wink

Create a “FOCUS System” That Actually Works For You

What do I mean by that? Well… As men­tioned in my pre­vi­ous post, it’s imper­a­tive to cre­ate a step by step action plan to reach your ulti­mate goals in life, but if you are not actu­ally going to fol­low through with your action plan, it’s pretty much useless.

You need to develop a sys­tem that allows you to stay LASER FOCUSED on com­plet­ing the nec­es­sary tasks to reach that goal… And you need to cre­ate one that actu­ally WORKS for you!

If you strug­gle try­ing to accom­plish your goals, or even just your daily tasks, I’m glad you’re read­ing, because this post can change your life! You see, the rea­son you strug­gle is because you have not found the right “focus sys­tem” that works for you yet… I’m going to help you develop that right here and right now…

First of all, you NEED to have an action plan, because you won’t have any­thing to work on if you don’t know where you wanna be. So if you don’t have one yet, you really need to set that up right now before read­ing any fur­ther — You can learn all about how to do that here: “Lay­ing the Foun­da­tion for Your Free­dom Road Map”

OK, now that you have a plan in place, it’s time to develop your focus sys­tem… I sim­ply can’t deter­mine how your spe­cific sys­tem will be because that depends on YOU and your par­tic­u­lar sit­u­a­tion… For the most part, every focus sys­tem has the same com­mon ele­ments… So the impor­tant thing to remem­ber is that your par­tic­u­lar arrange­ment of the ele­ments is totally up to you (just fit it to your life).

Here’s how it goes:

The Focus System:

Every morn­ing, as soon as you wake up & fin­ish your daily shower, groom­ing, and get­ting all pretty & stuff…

1. Write it down EVERY task you need to com­plete for that day.

(and I mean the tasks you out­lined in your action plan — the ones that will bring you closer to your ulti­mate life)

And have that list close to you at all times dur­ing the entire day.

Here’s the key:

2. Don’t do ANYTHING else until you have com­pleted those tasks!!

The ONLY excep­tion is when you need to take a 10 minute break, use the bathroom, eat lunch or din­ner,  or clean your dish.

3. Check off the tasks you fin­ish, and move on to the next one!

You always want to make sure to cel­e­brate EVERY suc­cess you have!! Even the lit­tle things you take for granted, like that fact that you sur­vived… That is a HUGE suc­cess!! And you need to CELEBRATE! Smile

(that’s it — that’s the system) Wink

If you think this is too much for you, that means you’re think­ing too much. Keep your daily tasks super small & stu­pid sim­ple!! The eas­ier & quicker the job can be done, the eas­ier & quicker your day will be, and you’ll end up mak­ing more progress than you would with­out the sys­tem in place.

Lit­tle tiny bites will take you a long way in the long run.

You might have already tried this sys­tem, and you STILL don’t seem to take action… And believe it or not, that’s very com­mon. But it’s still very UNACCEPTABLE!!

If you want to be a suc­cess in life, and you want to reach your TRUE FULL poten­tial in life, and make your dreams come true, you NEED to fol­low through with this sys­tem EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!

NOTE: If this is you (if you try to take action and you just try and try but you just don’t do any­thing) I hap­pen to know why that is… I know what your missing. Smile

I will explain every­thing in the next post, because I want to keep this post on topic… But if you hap­pen to be this per­son who tries really hard to focus, but you just can’t do any­thing, you really need to stick around and read my next post. Trust me on this one. Wink

My Per­sonal Resources:

Per­son­ally, I use soft­ware to keep me focused on my tasks… The soft­ware I use is called Action Enforcer, and it only costs about 30 bucks (it’s well worth the invest­ment)… It keeps me LASER focused on my tasks for the day — and I like this one more than any other because it’s very sim­ple to use & it sits on my desk­top (which is where I work on my tasks)

If you are not yet a mem­ber of Mark Joyner’s Sim­ple­ol­ogy pro­gram, I HIGHLY rec­om­mend join­ing that now! It’s totally free, and you will learn a ton of new stuff about get­ting things done…

When I first started out online, I mirac­u­lously found Mark Joyner’s Sim­ple­ol­ogy pro­gram, and it lit­er­ally changed my life. I was so focused on my goals, and it def­i­nitely works won­ders!! I HIGHLY rec­om­mend it, if you don’t want to pay $30 for Action Enforcer.

But what I wish I knew before hand was that try­ing to watch all the 30-day train­ing videos is a bad idea, and it took all the energy out of me… So if you do sign up for Sim­ple­ol­ogy, take my advice and DO NOT watch more than 1 video train­ing per day.

Con­clu­sion:

So whether you use soft­ware pro­grams or just a piece of paper and a pen, you need to start your day off EVERYDAY, writ­ing down the tasks you need to accom­plish for that day, in order to ulti­mately reach your desired life… And don’t do ANYTHING else, until you have com­pleted that task, when you do check it off do a vic­tory dance & move onto the next one…

And it’s ALWAYS impor­tant to remem­ber WHY you’re doing it… Remem­ber WHY you want free­dom, WHY you want more time & money!! Think of your ulti­mate life every­day, and work towards it lit­tle tiny steps at a time, and you’ll get there!

Sit around & read blog posts, check your face­book sta­tus, and watch videos all day, you will NEVER get there!!

Hope this post inspired you to start your own focus sys­tem! And I hope you enjoyed the resources I shared with you to help you set it up! As always, please let me know how I can help you reach your ulti­mate life! Smile

P.S. Do you have a focus sys­tem that works for you? If so, what is your ritual?

New Zodiac Sign for 2011?

Have you heard the news? There’s a new Zodiac sign!!

Check to see if your sign is still the same:

Capri­corn: Jan. 20 — Feb. 16
Aquar­ius: Feb. 16 — March 11
Pisces: March 11– April 18
Aries: April 18 — May 13
Tau­rus: May 13 — June 21
Gem­ini: June 21 — July 20
Can­cer: July 20 — Aug. 10
Leo: Aug. 10 — Sept. 16
Virgo: Sept. 16 — Oct. 30
Libra: Oct. 30 — Nov. 23
Scor­pio: Nov. 23 — Nov. 29
Ophi­uchus: Nov. 29 — Dec. 17
Sagit­tar­ius: Dec. 17 — Jan. 20

My birth­day is on Jan­u­ary 30th, and I have ALWAYS con­sid­ered myself an Aquar­ius… But now, I’m a Capri­corn? What’s hap­pen­ing to me? I feel like a totally dif­fer­ent crea­ture now! lol.


*IMPORTANT UPDATE* Jan­u­ary 21st, 2011

Not to worry!! You’re still the same sign!! Smile

Astron­omy GENIUS friend of mine filled me in on some­thing SUPER ENLIGHTENING!! I think you’re going to like what he had to say…

Here’s the deal… From this date for­ward, if some­one is born on Jan­u­ary 30th (for my exam­ple), they will be a Capri­corn… Because that’s the way the stars are aligned now.

But if you were born on Jan­u­ary 30th 1989 (my again, my exam­ple), that means you were born under the stars of Aquar­ius, there­fore — you are & ALWAYS will be an Aquarius!

So rest assured that you have noth­ing to worry about… Just because the stars’ align­ment are con­stantly mov­ing, it has no affect on your cur­rent horoscope’s sign…

My friend really got me think­ing, and it really makes a lot of sense now… He says on the date you’re born, the stars are aligned a cer­tain way, and the vibra­tion of the stars beam down on you while you’re being born, & they basi­cally form who you are (your destiny).

I don’t know about you, but I DIGG this stuff up!!! I under­stand it’s a lit­tle over the nog­gin for some peo­ple to com­pre­hend… But I’m def­i­nitely going to blog about this stuff in future posts, because I’m FASCINATED with every­thing that has to do with Life & the Universe! Smile


I was never really into Astrol­ogy until about 5 years ago when I found this SUPER AWESOME site ==> Astrology.com.au that read me like a book… Every­day, it just pre­dicted exactly what hap­pened to me dur­ing that day! You gotta try it to believe it — TRUST!!…

Now I am a firm believer in this phe­nom­ena, and I just can’t explain the feel­ing know­ing that I’m no longer an Aquar­ius… Try­ing not to let it get to me, but I’m feel­ing a lit­tle lost and just weird…

OMG… Check it out… I just read my daily horo­scope from that site I men­tioned… Here’s what it says:

At this time you may feel out of your ele­ment or out of sync with your­self or your surroundings.”

How does it know?!! lol.

Do you believe in Astrol­ogy? Was your sign affected by the new zodiac? What are your thoughts on this?

Laying the Foundation of Your Freedom Road Map”

A chal­lenge that a lot of peo­ple face when try­ing to accom­plish a goal, is actu­ally accom­plish­ing it… In case you don’t see the irony in it, this isn’t a good thing. You should be accom­plish­ing the goals that you actu­ally make.

The first step, as men­tioned in my ear­lier post, “The Free­dom Fac­tor”, is to make a com­mit­ment & give your full inten­tion to what your goal is & actu­ally accom­plish­ing your goal. After you know with­out a doubt, what you want & how you’re going to get there, you need to start plan­ning it out.

And I sug­gest doing this by cre­at­ing a daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly sched­ule to your suc­cess. How­ever long it takes for you just sit down and plan your entire year out, to the very last hour of each day, just do it! I swear by this… If you just plan every­thing out, even though the real­ity is that life is prob­a­bly not going to go exactly how you want it to, you will at least be on track to accom­plish­ing your goal!

It takes true some dis­ci­pline just to plan a month ahead of time, let alone a whole year… But it’s super worth it! So I want to help you get this done, by pro­vid­ing you with a sim­ple for­mula of map­ping every­thing out… Just fol­low the steps below, and don’t ques­tion “why” you should do them, just do them:

Step 1. Look at your ULTIMATE Life (the BIG end result) & imag­ine what it FEELS like to live that new life… How do you feel?

Step 2. Look at that same ULTIMATE Life, and imag­ine what it would feel like if you did NOT have that new life? How sucky does it feel to real­ize that you do not have that awe­some life? What would you lose if you did NOT get there?

Step 3. Ask your­self: “How BADLY do you want that Ulti­mate Life?” Really… How much of a dream come true, it would be to live this Life?!!

- If you don’t really want it as bad as you thought, start think­ing of what you REALLY want instead.

Step 4. Out­line Your Action Plan: What do you have to do in order to reach that Ulti­mate Life? Write down the basic fun­da­men­tal steps that you need to accom­plish FIRST, to reach your Ulti­mate Life.

- If you don’t know what needs to be done, write down, “find out how to get this done” and start think­ing of ways you’re going to do that, like “find some­one who knows how to do this”, and con­tinue to think of ways you’ll do that, like “search on google for experts in this”.

Step 5. Once you have your action steps laid out in front of you, orga­nize them into steps… Put them in order from step 1 ==> step 2 ==> step 3.… all the way to the final step (your ulti­mate life)

- Now you should have the fun­da­men­tal steps in place, and you just need to put them in your cal­en­dar… If you don’t have one, I HIGHLY rec­om­mend get­ting one ASAP, because it will help tremen­dously! Click here to get the one I use

Step 6. Deter­mine how long you want to give your­self to accom­plish each of those fun­da­men­tal steps, and place them in your calendar’s yearly planner…

- Let’s say you have 36 fun­da­men­tal steps away from your ulti­mate life… If you can real­is­ti­cally accom­plish each of those steps within a month’s time, you’re only 3 years away from your ulti­mate life if you fol­low your blue­print!! Go ahead & place the first 12 in the yearly calendar.

Step 7. Now, start break­ing each of those fun­da­men­tal steps into smaller goals, by deter­min­ing what needs to be done to reach that goal… And repeat steps 4–6 and mark the tiny steps into your monthly & weekly calendar.

Step 8. Now, EVERYDAY, fol­low through with your fun­da­men­tal steps (no mat­ter how small they seem) & don’t let ANYTHING get in your way to accom­plish­ing that lit­tle task! Remem­ber that you’re doing it to reach your ULTIMATE Life, and if you don’t do it, you’re NOT going to live it!!

The pur­pose of this for­mula, is to give you a REAL step by step action plan to fol­low to suc­cess… If you fol­low this for­mula to a tee, and com­plete EVERY action step you’ve cre­ated for your­self, you will with­out a doubt live your ULTIMATE Life!!

Focus­ing your energy on accom­plish­ing your lit­tle tasks that will bring you closer to your ulti­mate life, is the real KEY… There is a HUGE lack of focus that peo­ple have nowa­days, and it’s screw­ing their dreams up! There are too many dis­trac­tions going on nowa­days, that cause peo­ple to lose focus on what they really want.

If you have trou­ble stay­ing focused on your goals, there are solu­tions, and I will share these solu­tions with you in a later post, but for now…

It all pretty much comes down to how BADLY you want this… If you really want it MORE than ANYTHING in the world, you bet­ter take it seri­ously! This is your FREEDOM for cry­ing out loud!!! This is your DREAM!!

What is your dream lifestyle?

& How BADLY do you want it?

P.S. Let me know how I can sup­port you and your dream!

The Freedom Factor: “One SUPER Simple Step That You CANNOT Miss, If You Want to Gain TRUE Freedom!”

With­out this one lit­tle step, you will NEVER find free­dom! Can you guess what this sim­ple step is?

Here’s a hint:

It’s the very FIRST step to accom­plish ANYTHING… And that is… (drum roll please)…

INTENTION!

You just gotta know EXACTLY what you want, why you want it, and where you’re head­ing… With­out know­ing where you want to go, how will you ever get there?

Told you it was simple. Smile

But I wouldn’t be sur­prised to hear that you don’t know EXACTLY where you want to go… I wouldn’t be sur­prised to learn that you do not have a plan set up in place, and your entire week, month, and year are pre­cisely laid out in front of you as a com­plete road map to your freedom…

I sure hope you do, but I wouldn’t sur­prised if you didn’t… Because there is a BIG prob­lem that some peo­ple face when it comes to reach­ing suc­cess & free­dom in life… Some peo­ple just don’t know HOW they’re going to get “out” of the sit­u­a­tion they’re in, and move upwards to the lifestyle they truly desire…

ATTENTION: If that’s you; if you don’t have a clue how you’re going to get to where you want to be, or even worse, you don’t know where you want to go… If you do NOT have a COMPLETE action plan out­lined for you to fol­low step-by-step every­day, to bring you to your desire, Get your­self a weekly/monthly/yearly plan­ner ASAP, and on the next post, I’ll show you how to set up your road map to freedom…

This is the plan­ner I use — it’s pretty sweet:

“2011 Time Mas­ter Plan­ner — Medium”

I don’t know one human being on Earth who has accom­plished ANYTHING (big or small), with­out hav­ing it in their inten­tions to do it first — whether on a con­scious or sub-conscious level…

When you brush your teeth in the morn­ing, you are giv­ing it your inten­tion to do it. You don’t let any­thing stop you from accom­plish­ing what you sought out to do, and you did it!.. Suc­cess! Yeah! Smile

So, what makes that accom­plish­ment any dif­fer­ent than the accom­plish­ment of free­dom? The only dif­fer­ence is the amount of “strug­gle” and “obsta­cles” that you per­ceive to be in your way… When truth­fully, there is no dif­fer­ence. It’s the same INTENTION.

When you know where you’re going, and you have it mapped out, just fol­low the plan & you’ll get there! This is truly the first step to accom­plish­ing any­thing… Just start with your intention.

After you know exactly what you want in life, just start writ­ing down every lit­tle action step you need to accom­plish in order to reach that ulti­mate goal… And from there, it’s just about FOCUSING Every­day to get­ting that lit­tle accom­plish­ment done — lit­tle by lit­tle, you’ll ulti­mately reach that big goal of yours! Wink

I was SUPER dis-organized at one point, and just lived day by day let­ting the Uni­verse take me wher­ever it took me… Which was cool & all, but I wasn’t really get­ting any closer to my goals… And it took some get­ting use to (sched­ul­ing a whole year out ahead of time), but now that I live with an INTENTION & I’m work­ing towards that inten­tion every­day, I Man­i­fest AWESOMENESS Every­where I Go!! Smile

If you haven’t done it, you gotta give it a try… I’m telling you, you will love the results! Wink

Tell me what you think! Do you know where you want to be, and are you headed on the right path? Do you have an action plan already laid out for you?

I want to know what your ULTIMATE life’s goal is!! What do you want more than ANYTHING in the world, and are you will­ing to do any­thing to get there? What is your intention?

Hope this post enlight­ened you and brought you closer to your free­dom! Let me know if there’s any­thing I can do to help you get even closer!

P.S. “Free­dom” means a lot to me, because I believe we all have an urge to break free & live the lifestyle we truly desire… And I want to lib­er­ate as many people’s thrive for free­dom as I pos­si­bly can… You might notice me blog about Free­dom the exact same way I blog about “Suc­cess” because I see free­dom just like suc­cess. (just wanna make that clear for future reference)

P.P.S. This was my very first offi­cial blog post! Smile Hope you enjoyed it — Lot’s of AWESOME stuff to come!
