New Year's Resolutions

2009-01-05T02:21:00.000-08:00

Why do so many of us start out each New Year with such good intentions, yet so few actually achieve the results we say we want.

Below is a list of top ten New Year’s resolutions I found surfing the net today.
See if you have any of these on your list for 2009.

1. Spend Time with Loves Ones
2. Get Fit
3. Lose Weight
4. Stop Smoking
5. Enjoy Life More!
6. Stop Drinking
7. Get Out of Debt
8. Learn Something New
9. Be More Charitable
10. Reorganize Life

I believe that if you really are serious about successfully implementing your new year’s resolutions, you need to address the following three items.

1. A clear definition of what the resolution actually is. (You can’t hit a target if you don’t know what you are aiming at)
2. A time frame in which the resolution is to be completed.
3. An action plan or series of steps, that needs to be taken to achieve your new year’s resolution.

So let’s take one of these resolutions and see if we can increase our odds of achieving it.

Instead of just learn something new; let’s put the following steps in place.

1. Learn to play three songs by Powderfinger (My favourite band) on the guitar.
This is a clear definition of what I am going to learn we could go even further by naming the songs: sunset, lost and running and who really cares.

2. To be completed by 24th /12/2009

3. Find a guitar teacher and enrol in weekly lessons by the 15th/01/2009.

Do you think that by putting the above in place I might have a better chance of achieving my goal, than vague resolution of learn something new??

To get a different result you have to take different actions. If you go through 2009 doing the exact same things you did in 2008, then chances are you situation isn’t going to change.

“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”. Albert Einstein

Most people have convinced themselves that they have some valid excuse, holding them back from achieving their dreams. Yet very few people have a clear definition of what their dreams actually are.

If you haven’t done so yet do yourself a favour and get your hands on a copy of Timothy Ferriss book the four hour work week.

As well as showing you exactly how you can free up valuable time, so that you can spend doing the things you love, Timothy also shows you his spin on goal setting called dreamlining. He has an excellent spread sheet that will help you set your own dreamlines.

Which one word can dramatically change your results??

2008-11-10T19:18:00.000-08:00

Is there one word that has so much power that it could literally change your results in life.

I believe there is one word that is that powerful, that word is how. When you ask yourself how you could achieve something, even though it may seem well beyond your current ability or circumstances. You are automatically telling your subconscious to start searching for answers for you.

Marshall artists know this and have been utilising it for years. If a Marshall artist wants to snap a board in half he doesn’t focus on the board. He focuses on a point well past the board, because he knows that in order to gain the momentum to break the board he is going to have to reach a point well past it.

The same is true in life if you find yourself hitting up against some sort of barrier or level that you can’t get past you need to start focusing well past the barrier so that you gain the momentum to break through it.

I don’t have the knowledge to do that.
I could never afford to do that.
I don’t have the confidence to try that.
I don’t have the money to do that.
I don’t have the time to do that.

These are all barriers that we hit at some time in life. My challenge to you is to banish these limiting beliefs and change them to a how question instead.

How do I gain the knowledge to do that.
How can I afford to do that.
How can I gain the confidence to try that.
How can I find the money to do that.
How can I find the time to do that.

It may not work out for you every time. However I truly believe that if you can train your mind and make the How question a habit then you results will dramatically improve.

Using excuses as a reason for not achieving your dreams and goals, is in my opinion a form of laziness. By justifying to ourselves that we don’t have the resources to achieve the results we want, we are giving our mind permission to sit dormant or worse still focus on negative thoughts.

I am yet to meet anyone who is fully utilising their potential .
You can either make excuses for yourself to succeed or to fail. If you aren’t making excuses for yourself to succeed than by default you are making excuses to fail.

Don’t limit your thinking to needing more knowledge or money or courage before you can start achieving your goals. Give yourself permission to start achieving your goals NOW, every chance you get focus your thoughts on what you have going for you, what resources you have, why you deserve the success you desire, and How you are going to achieve it.

Working Class Hero

2008-08-18T01:13:00.000-07:00

I talk a great deal about mindset and bad mental programming that we have all experienced. What I say is nothing new just my interpretation of how it all works.

For years the likes of John Lennon have been trying to wake us all up to how badly programmed we all are, and how willing we are to accept idea's just because that is what everyone else believes.

Listen closely to the word's of working class hero and then spend a week observing how true what he was saying is.

Fear is used by all major institutions to control the masses. So much so that when the likes of John Lennon stand up and try to wake us up to what is happening. The mob shouts them down and ridicules them because they stand out and won't just blindly accept the garbage the majority of the population accept everyday.

A Working Class Hero is something to be.

Not me I want to be one of the Maverick's who wouldn't accept the normal garbage fed to the masses.

Spending my time educating those who will listen,that you don't have to live a life where the system dictates:

How many holidays you get to have.
How many hours a week you should work.
What age you should retire.

The internet is changing how the world operate's learn how to use it to your advantage.

Don't just end up another Working Class Hero

Cheers to your success

30 DC and setbacks

2008-08-04T19:32:00.000-07:00

There are always challenges in life but if you look at them as learning opportunities, your life becomes a lot easier and you will progress towards your goal more rapidly because you actually learn something from the setback. When doing my keyword and market research for the 30 DC I tried at quite a few niche ideas that I really wanted to use, but no matter how I tried I couldn't get them to fit within the given parameters. I could have taken the easy option and forged ahead with a niche that didn't fit the 30 DC formula.
This would have defeated the whole purpose of participating as having a niche that fits into the parameters they provide is a crucial element.
Because I refused to see a lack and kept focused on how instead of can't I managed to find a niche that fitted the parameters perfectly.
You have to remember selling is about what your customer wants to but not what you want to sell.
I heard Les Brown talking about this the other day how challenges are not put in your way to stop you they are put there to empower you, because when you get past them you are going to be a much better person.
Watch the clip below by Les Brown about how he got started as a public speaker. He had plenty of challenges in his way but he didn't let them become an excuse to give up.
Make sure your challenges become a tool you use daily to strengthen your resolve.

Cheers to your success

30 DC where to get idea's

2008-08-02T00:14:00.000-07:00

In the first video Ed talks about researching your market to get idea's for the product that you are going to create. In this video he runs through where to get your idea's (Amazon small hint) and how to find out what people are already buying. A lot of people seem to struggle with how to come up with idea's. There seems to be some misconception that you need to have exceptional intelligence or special gifting, to be able to have good idea's. Coming up with good idea's is like anything else in life,it comes down to learning the correct skills. If you are currently struggling to come up with good idea's then the first thing you need to do is focus on how you can learn to come up with new idea's instead of how hard you find it. Watch the video below follow the steps go to the 30DC and download the PDF Niche Idea's and you will be well and truly on the way to finding your first great idea. Remember thoughts plus actions equal results.

Thirty Day Challenge

2008-08-01T23:37:00.000-07:00

The reason I named this blog Internet Marketing and the mindset required is because I truly believe that you can't be successful at anything that you do in life without the correct mindset.
However that doesn't mean that just because you get your mindset right that you will automatically be successful either. You have to marry thoughts and action to get results. As the saying goes with thought what you want is brought to you and with action it is received!!!!!
Integrated into my mindset posts for the next couple of months will be action step posts that you can implement. Theses action steps will all be based around what I am currently learning on the 30 day challenge. Yesterday was the start of the 30 day challenge and in the clip below Ed Dale runs through the four important steps you need to use to successfully market and sell a product online.
These four steps are Market research, Traffic, Conversion and Product in that order. That is not a typo product does come last. Watch the clip where Ed explains why you need to use this particular order. You can still join the 30 day challenge by following this link.
I would highly recommend that you do join as it is all free and the principles that Ed teaches are vital to pouring a strong foundation upon which you can build your online business.
So what are you waiting for join up now and start building your own online business for nothing.

You can also follow what I am doing on the 30 day challenge on Twitter

Stand by me

2008-07-29T04:52:00.001-07:00

Face your fears then do it anyway. Easy to say and often difficult to do. But it is the people who don't let their fears get the better of them that achieve their dreams. Do you think the likes of John Lennon ever had fears? I would bet my last ten dollars that he did. Successful people aren't born with certain gifts that rest of us mere mortals don't get. We are all born with exceptional gifts you just have to decide to put your fears aside and fully utilize them. How do I know? Because that is what I am doing at the moment, I have consciously made the decision to not be held back by fears like what will people think. I do consider myself exceptionally lucky though I have an extremely supportive wife and children who no matter what happens.

Stand By ME

David Cavanagh Interviews Johnny Wimbrey

2008-07-26T06:34:00.001-07:00

I first saw Johnny Wimbrey speak at a Money Masters seminar in Brisbane late 2007.At the time I was struggling with some issues I was having with my trading. Johnny was the first speaker to talk at the event. At the time I only use to pay lip service to the idea that you need to have the right mindset to succeed in whatever you are trying to do.I had read Anthony Robbins books and Think and grow rich and although I could comprehend the principles in these books I foolishly didn't think that they really applied to me. My way of thinking changed that morning, when Johnny speaks people listen, anyone who hears him speak live has to be effected by the message he delivers and the passion with which he delivers it. He has a great book titled from the hood to doing good which I would highly recommend to anyone.In it he talks about what he has had to overcome in his life including an abusive alcholic father and a mother who was a drug addict and abandoned himself and two brothers at an early age. He is a true inspiration and his message is that he believes that if he can achieve the level of success that he has than anyone else can as well. The money masters homestudy pack features 3 DVD's of Johnny's powerful message. Do yourself a huge favour and grab yourself a copy today.

Tribute to Randy Pausch

2008-07-26T05:55:00.000-07:00

I first watched this video of Randy Pausch in late 2007, it's hard to believe as you watch this video that he is dying from pancreatic cancer. In the video he says that his whole life he has had fun and he isn't going to let a little thing like dying depress him. Randy is a true inspiration and the fact that even when he knew he had a limited amount of time left, he still felt that he needed to deliver this speech. Searching through youtube this morning I came across this link that said that Randy had passed away on the 25/7/08. If you want to see the epitome of being positive under impossible circumstance then watching this video is a must.

"Lead your life the right way the Kharma will take care of itself the dreams will come to you"
Randy Pausch

Thanks for the inspiration Randy

A valuable life lesson

2008-07-22T02:41:00.000-07:00

The most valuable lesson I have learned

When I was a kid I was lucky enough to live on a horse spelling stud for nearly a year. I took to horse riding really quickly and would spend countless hours on the weekends and weekday afternoons riding. It was during this 12 month period that I learnt one of the most valuable lessons’s that I have ever learnt. Only just recently I have come to the realisation of just how profound that lesson was. The lesson was given to me by my uncle and although it was a hard lesson to learn at the time it has kept me going when times have gotten tough. I don’t know that he even realizes just how important it is to live your life by this lesson. Most people don’t and I believe that this is a major reason behind a lot of people never living the life they desire.

The lesson was that every time I fell off a horse no matter how much I didn’t feel like it I had to get back on as quickly as possible. I now know why getting straight back on was so important. If you don’t get straight back on your mind has a chance to start eating away at your confidence and can turn a simple fall into a major drama. If you get straight back your mind doesn’t have the time to erode your confidence and your are quickly back to riding like nothing had ever happened. If you live your life the same way and jump straight back on ever time you fall or get thrown off, the quicker you will get heading back in the direction you need to be going to achieve your goals.

We all get thrown off from time to time I now know the secret is to get straight back on!!!

Cheers to your success

Are bad belief's holding you back??

2008-07-08T03:27:00.001-07:00

I have spoken before about changing your thoughts and words to change your reality.

In my next few posts I am going to cover some self limiting belief’s, that in my opinion are one of the main causes of people never achieving their desire’s and goals.

Number one top of my worst belief’s that was probable passed on to you by your parent’s is it won’t cost you any money just some of your time.

I am sorry if I offend anyone but this has to be one of the most ridiculous statements ever spoken.

Who reading this post knows how to make more money? Everyone reading this post should have their hand up, now tell me how many of you can make more time? Every second of every day is precious, when you can start to truly grasp this concept and that money is less important than your time you will literally start making huge progress towards your financial future.

You will often hear me speak about Johhny Wimbrey in my blog’s because of his exceptional insights and his ability to relate things to commonsense. I was listening to him the other day when he came out with this gem.

“You are closer to next year than you are to five minutes ago” once it’s gone it’s gone and there is nothing you can do to get it back

I believe that if you are privileged to be exposed to information that can improve yourself and your financial situation you have an obligation to act on it and create the situation where you can pass on your knowledge and impact the life of someone else.

Cheers to your success

Tips For starting your online business

2008-07-01T14:55:00.001-07:00

The traps of starting an online business

When you first start online it is vey easy to get overwhelmed with the opportunities that are available.
You sign up for a couple of newsletters that recommend other things that you sign up for, and before you know it every time you open your email there are more exciting opportunities that you need to take advantage of immediately.
I remember Dave Cavanagh talking about this happening to him when he first started out. He said that he had spent a lot of time collecting a heap of stuff but what he really had was stuff all.
It is very easy to get caught up in all the hype and spend your day going from link to link downloading wonderful stuff but in reality you aren’t actually achieving anything.
The key is to treat this as a real business not just a hobby and focus on the tasks which produce results.
I find the following helps keep me on track.

Focus on one project at a time, do it well get it finished then you can quickly duplicate it.
Work to your strengths outsource the things that you aren’t good at to leverage your time.
Before you go on line write down what you want to achieve, and only look at site that have the information you need.
Unsubscribe from all but 2 or 3 lists this avoids a lot of distractions.
Have set work times and stick to them, if this means missing your favourite TV show some times so be it.
Do something you enjoy it is always much easier to stick at something you enjoy.
I have also found either having a coach or someone else to work on a project with helps you achieve better results because you are then accountable to them.
The best value one on one coaching program I have come across is Dave Cavanagh check out this review by one of his students. Dave is one of the great speakers in the Money Masters Home Study. For more Information check out www.geturselfstarted.com

Change your word and thoughts and change your reality

2008-06-03T23:27:00.000-07:00

Change you words and thoughts and change your life.

Research says we have around 60,000 thought per day. If these thoughts are predominantly negative your words will be predominantly negative which in turn will produce negative results.

To expect something different you must first do something different and I believe this starts with your thoughts and words.

Who knows someone who constantly says that they are clumsy?

Is this true for them?

Who knows someone who constantly says that they are broke/poor?

Is this true for them?

Do you know someone who constantly complains about there current situation?

Does there situation ever improve? Even if by luck it does change do they quickly find something new to complain about?

The only difference between a wealthy person and a poor person is the way that they think.

YOU’RE WORD AND THOUGHTS CREATE YOUR REALITY.

I was recently watching a DVD with Johnny Wimbrey presenting about the Laws of attraction and the power your mind and thoughts have over your body.

This is the example he used.

You go to sleep in a peace full place but your mind is so power full that you can have a nightmare and your body will experience the following physical symptoms:

Sweats

Heart racing

Paranoia

Fear

Tears

Increased blood pressure

Your mind convinces your body that it is in some way threatened, you experience the above symptoms because your mind convinces your body that what it is experiencing is real.

Nothing has changed in your environment except for the fact that your mind has convinced your body that it is in someway threatened.

Johnny believes that if your mind can get you into a situation, then your mind can get you out.

My challenge to you is to change your words and thoughts, even for just a week and see all of the possibilities that suddenly open up to you.

If you think and speak as though you are already wealthy your body has no choice except to submit.

Change I can’t afford it to, how can I afford it?

Change I can’t do that to, how do I find out how to do that?

Change I am broke to my finances are in transition!!!

Change I am feeling sick to I am in the process of being healed!!!

Everything in life comes back to how we perceive and react to the challenges we are presented with.

Give it a try what is the worst that can happen!!
