ALWAYS BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

Monday, December 19th, 2011

It sounds so easy: Always believe in yourself.

You’ve probably heard those words your entire life but when the whole world seems to be telling you that you can’t do it…whatever it is you’re trying to do…believing in yourself isn’t as easy as it may appear.

Do you have a goal or dream that always seems to be eluding you? Do you wake up every morning and think, “This is the day I’m going to make it big” only to find that by 10:00 your motivation is gone and you’re still in your cubicle with mounds of paperwork beckoning your name?

That sure defined me for a while. Don’t get me wrong I still work full-time (I’m just a few very short years from a pension and I don’t want to pass up another source of permanent income) but it was and is the belief in myself that keeps me going. It’s my belief that I can do what I want, when I want, and with whom I want and I don’t need anyone’s permission to do it.

It wasn’t always like that, though.

So what changed?

How did I and how do you all of a sudden believe in yourself?

You might not want to hear this but it doesn’t normally happen all of a sudden. That’s right, it takes attention and focus; it takes effort to begin seeing the world and yourself in a different light. That doesn’t mean its gruesome work and you’re going to hate it– in fact, you’ll probably enjoy it– but consistent daily effort is required.

Remember above when I said the entire world seems to tell you that you can’t do this or you can’t do that? Those words were actually programmed into our minds.

As a child, we were allowed to have an imagination and we believed we could do anything. BUT, as we grew older, parents, teachers, friends, neighbors, clergy (and the list goes on) all taught us that life is tough; we aren’t “those” people with money; you can’t become famous. You get the idea.

Each and every day your dreams would slowly dissipate and those words, “always believe in yourself” became a distant memory.

About three years ago, I was in south Florida training to be a certified LifeSuccess Consultant and business partner of Bob Proctor. The wonderful Mary Morrissey was one of the speakers there that week and she taught me something very valuable and I want you to listen very carefully to what she taught me. It’s just one sentence:

If you don’t always believe in yourself, would you at least believe that I believe in you?

Pretty powerful, isn’t it? Let me believe in you until you are able to believe in yourself.

Look, at one point I didn’t believe in myself either. I was on the verge of bankruptcy (probably should have filed but didn’t) and wondered how I was going to pay for gasoline to get me to and from work ; and at one point I even moved back home to live with my parents but I dug down deep inside and found just an inkling of belief. You can, too.

I want you to know that you are not alone. I want you to know that your dreams really can come true and I would love to help you in any way I can, whether it’s through earning multiple streams of income or coaching and mentoring you to achieve other life goals.

Just remember those simple words: ALWAYS BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.

What is a Good Opt In Offer?

Sunday, August 15th, 2010

Opt in offers are a vital part of today’s business as they play a crucial role in keeping customers and clientele interested in your business and new products. But first, what is an opt-in offer?

An opt-in offer is when a customer signs up to receive emails and updates about developments in your business. Think about a department store sending customers that have signed up a mass text message telling them about a current sale – that is exactly what an opt-in offer is!

Opt-In offers have a lot of advantages for both businesses and customers. Some of these include:

1. Widespread advertising of new products
2. Low cost because of modern technology – emails can be sent for next to nothing!
3. Easy profit as your customer can often be easily convinced to buy into offers
4. Once most customers ‘opt in’, and if the subscriptions prove to be useful, they will usually not opt out of these updates and this brings guaranteed profits to your business.

You can easily see why so many businesses choose to use opt-in offers, but what makes a good opt-in offer? Customers are so protective about their personal details and are tired of getting hundreds of junk letters in their mailboxes, cellphone inboxes and email inboxes. Businesses need to have attractive opt in offers which make sure that customers will not choose to quit these subscriptions. If customers start getting annoyed with your constant updates, they will opt out and this will make you lose money, so you need to make sure your opt-in offer is a great one!

To have a successful opt in offer, you must:

1. Offer benefits:
For example, you can offer a free course to your customers. Your course can contain text, audio, graphics – even video! Just send your subscribers a link to the web page where your course can be found because unlike e-mail, your website doesn’t put any restrictions on the size of your media!

Once you’ve developed the course, you can use ‘delayed auto responders’ to e-mail it to your subscribers at preset intervals, exposing them to your business and your offer repeatedly. And the best part is you’re contacting them with information they’ve specifically requested, so they can’t complain!

Another popular example of a benefit would be to offer a free e-book about the specific product your business is trying to sell. These do not need to be lengthy; they can be 8-10 pages long but should be well made. These can also be sent from one customer to another, so this is obviously a way of free advertising for your company!

Finally, offer members-only specials such as discounted prices and offers. This will encourage non-members to sign up for your opt-in offer for the free giveaways and discounts!

2. Make your opt in offer interesting:
Offer games, puzzles, crosswords and prizes on your opt-in offer website. This provides some entertainment for your subscribers and will interest them as they have chances to win free giveaways in a fun way!

3. Offer a discussion board for your members on the opt-in offer website:
This will help both you and your members – you can learn which products they prefer and they can have a place to meet each other and talk about everything related to your product.

Do What You Love and The Rest Will Fall Into Place

Monday, June 21st, 2010

There are times in your life when you have to just stop, look inside you and wonder what you’ve become. Is this what you’ve always wanted to be? I mean, sure you have a car, a house with a white picket fence, but do you love who you are? Do you love what you’re doing?

Don’t panic! It’s normal and a very common phenomenon in today’s world, especially because so many of us become a part of this ‘race’ that we often forget ourselves. We lose sight of who we really wanted to be and what we actually wanted to do. We often feel this strange emptiness inside which is irritating but somehow we can’t put our finger on what is bothering us. I believe that this emptiness is because of a lack of passion in your life, the void is created because you’re not doing things that you absolutely LOVE. In simpler words, you are not listening to your heart.

Go to your bosom: Knock there, and ask your heart what it doth know. — William Shakespeare

Follow your heart and it will enrich your soul, which is the most essential part of your existence. We tend to forget that our soul needs to be fed with our heart’s desires in order to be complete and content. This is why I always advise my clients and readers to adopt a simple rule – ‘Follow your heart’.

Follow your heart and you will see how your life starts to fall in place. It’s almost like finding that ONE piece of a jigsaw puzzle which will make fitting the rest of the pieces in so much easier. You need to find your passion/s. It can be fishing, painting, photography, anything under the sun which makes YOU a happier person.

Let your heart rule and your imagination run wild. Don’t think about the practicality of your passions just yet. Isn’t that what we’ve done throughout our lives? Thinking practically and then letting go of things we wanted to do. No harm in dreaming while you take a break from normality, right?

Do you remember this? “I learned that there were two ways I could live my life: following my dreams or doing something else. Dreams aren’t a matter of chance, but a matter of choice. When I dream, I believe I am rehearsing my future.” — David Copperfield

Dream, follow your heart and make it your life!

If for example, you are passionate about photography, list all that you can do –collect and organize photographs you’ve taken in the past, do a little research on what is happening in the world of photography etc This will help revitalize your hidden, buried love for it. The next step is to click away! Eventually, you’ll see a theme developing in your photographs, then you can give them creative captions and the list of ideas goes on and on. In this exercise the MOST important thing to do is to show your passion to the world while you make a living out of it!
When we follow our heart and our passions become our lives, the benefits we reap from it are far greater than we ever expected. You will not only be making a living out of what you love but it will make you a happier person. What better way to find success? The ‘guru’ would say ‘Internet Marketing’!

Join a social networking and bookmarking websites if you’re not on it already, make a nice profile and put your passion on display. Blog about it, talk to other people who share the same interests. Believe it or not, this will help you in discovering yourself so much! Often it is difficult to find people who share your passion because no matter how hard we try, it is not possible for a normal person with the typical ’9-5′ job routine to expand his/her social circle. The world of the internet especially since the invasion of social networking websites and blogs, the internet is this amazing social club where you don’t have to work very hard in finding people who have the same interests as you.

Put up your photographs on your profile — or ever better – make your own website! You can ask a professional to make a nice, catchy website for you. Once it’s up there, you can tell people about it, share it with those who might be interested in buying the photographs you’ve taken or want to use your services as a freelance photographer. Market your work, internet is just the tool you need. Spice your offers by adding incentives; like in this case you could give them a free frame. Make your presence felt and tell the world that you have arrived! You have to have faith in yourself, in your work and you have to remember that when you’re doing what you love, people WILL notice it because it is human nature to be curious about those who follow their passions.

Want to know the best thing about this whole business? Initially, you don’t have to invest in a shop or an office setup because you’re communicating online with your clients, yet you will find the amount of money you can make just with internet marketing. You can communicate wherever you are, whenever you want to!

Having a lousy day or second thoughts? Write this down somewhere to help you out on the days you are blue:

Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream. — Paulo Coelho

Using the Law of Attraction for Internet Marketers

Monday, May 31st, 2010

Thinking of setting up an online business? To begin with, your primary obligation should be to work on your personal behavior coupled with a positive attitude. Why so? Putting it comprehensively, positive thoughts have a major impact on just about everything we do in our lives and the relationships we build. From what I have seen, those who love being negative about themselves are perhaps the worst failures EVER – trust me, I know what I am talking about!

The process of thinking begins at a very early period of life. Your mind starts constructing these positive or negative messages soon as you begin developing a sense for right and wrong. The fundamental thoughts about yourself and your personal abilities originate from a young age, which ultimately become a part of your personality. These patterns of thoughts become permanent when you become an adult. Therefore, one needs to keep these patterns positive since positive mind-set towards anything leads to greater productivity.

Lost hopes and mislaid visions are signs of failure and NO ONE can stand being one, or being with one!

If you have a positive viewpoint and believe good things happen, then believe it or not, you are half way on to the road to sweet triumph.

This law of attraction can be applied to every business.The things which hurt, instruct by Benjamin Franklin, is what we need to understand. We learn from our mistakes, the bitterest moments teach the best. Once we do, we will try to overcome our fears and weaknesses and show a constructive attitude in work. Every business has its high time and low time…so does Internet marketing. With a positive outlook towards work, you can attain your targets quickly and comfortably, not to mention double your earnings in shorter span. It is one of those businesses that want the marketer to keep a positive attitude towards the work and make money fast.

This positivity will help make an internet marketers life better. It makes ways to help make more money, enjoy every age of his/her life more, and be more successful in the business of internet marketing. Negative thoughts fill your mind and soul with fear, tension and many misconceptions.

It will be impossible to take a positive action when you think negative.

You actually act according to your belief. Positive beliefs help in gaining and strengthening your will power and of course, the stronger the will power, the greater your chances of accomplishing your goals become!

The secret behind every successful business is a positive thought – the more positive, the better! That is exactly the core reason behind many greatest business empires in today’s world. Similarly, in internet marketing, you can promote your products and services at a global level, but your work strategy, your determination and drive determines how proficient you can get at it. For a promising success and flow of profits, make sure you have an optimistic approach towards your work and business and otherwise, your personal life.

In no time, the business of internet marketing has taken over the marketing world. Internet Marketing, being interactive in nature, helps is instant response from the clients. This unique quality of the medium has given it a broader scope. The internet marketers have an advantage to make money fast through e-mails, and wireless media. This will help them to reach every corner of the world and introduce their product.

Just remember,

Thoughts become words. Words become actions. Actions become habits. Habits become character. And character becomes your destiny.

Expecting abundance in your business

Monday, May 31st, 2010

Belief or the lack of it can be the source of the beginning or the end of your inspiration. Your hopes and expectations can take you towards higher profit or ugliest losses, whether whatever every aspect of your life it maybe.

You are what you think

You must have come across this one a couple of many times and there isn’t a doubt about it! You cannot expect any good in your life until you think positive and act positive. Leslie aka Les Brown believes that you shouldn’t let the negativity given to you by the world disempower you. Instead give to yourself that which empowers you. Nothing empowers us more than our hopes and expectations.

Hopes and expectations twine together to form a strong force, that can help you attain success in anything you undertake. When you work hard, hope for the best, then nothing can stop you from reaching your destiny. Lost hopes and failed expectations blur your vision of a bright tomorrow. If you lose hope once, you can regain it again.

Nothing lasts forever, not even the ghastly times. Once you get your spirits high, work to the fullest, get your hopes back up and expectations in full swing, you will vividly be able to vision your future again. Expectations keep us alive. Great expectations lead to greater things, thus what you expect from yourself is what you get! Never let your expectations go down and fail you.

Live every day, hoping and expecting to make each day getting closer to your success.

The more positive you feel about yourself, the more optimistic and productive input you will invest in your work, expecting to achieve greater returns…which you can…and you rightly will!

Having high thoughts and high expectations from oneself will provoke you to give your best by investing more energy and determined effort into work. This ultimately paves way to your success. In addition to your daily life, this positive attitude and constructive aptitude when spend on your business will give fruitful rewards and help you reach heights of success.

Presently, we are surrounded by modern technology. We have enhanced communication modes and 10x times boosted business productivity, all thanks to the ‘Internet’. Today, there are thousands of online businesses running proficiently today – Internet marketing being one such kind. It is but natural to be often thinking about how to make your business reach peaks of success in least possible time.

How to begin minting money – the sooner, the better – and how to gather more customers.

However, you need a well thought-out plan and strategy for that, however, when planning, think with a positive frame of mind. Only then, you can exercise your abilities and strength well enough to consider possible ways of attaining success and prosperity. NOTHING in the world can stop you from succeeding till the point that you give up being positive.

In case of your internet marketing business, the right attitude and positive outlook will be all the help you need for a thriving business. No matter what you do, if your thoughts are negative and your morale is low, there is no way you can grow your business. Keep your mind clear of doubts and fears and if’s and buts; only focus on your goals and self- expectations. As an internet marketer, you need to embrace your work. Ask yourself “Do I want to be successful?”, if the answer is “Yes”, then being constructive will lead to greater chances of accomplishment.

Business is all about taking risks – but, planned risks. You need to hire people and need a workable plan. To devise a plan that is bound to work, you need to have an exceptionally optimistic approach.

Internet marketing can be a tricky business and you can never acquire success if you are afraid to take risks. But after planning your business working with a heartening and constructive outlook, you can make money fast and gather up a good reputation in the internet market in no time.

Success is attained by only those who are determined enough to face the challenges, mark difficult territories to accomplish and think beyond their expectations.
Make a new motto from today onwards – Think positive, grow productive!
