- Who makes the best MPM Members?

That’s a really great question! While the number of online shoppers is growing in every demographic group, there are certainly some that shop MORE online than others. It’s only reasonable to focus on giving your Mall to these people, though you also want to give it to anyone who wants it!



So who is most likely to shop online?



People age 18-24

People with children

Women - because of their busy schedules

People with higher incomes

People with college educations



That’s what the demographics say but we want to caution you against focusing on just those groups. Let us share some history with you. It used to be that most online shopping came from larger metropolitan areas where people were more likely to have computers and were considered more sophisticated consumers. Then gas shot up to $3.00+ a gallon. Suddenly, people in rural or remote areas realized the benefits of not having to drive, and having things delivered to their door. Online shopping has risen dramatically among rural shoppers.



Let’s take this one step further. We want to encourage every one of you to think of ways MY POWER MALL can change the lives of people around you. Let’s think for instance of someone who doesn’t have a computer. Can they really succeed with MPM? At first glance you would say, “No.” How are they going to sign up? How will they access the tools? They can’t buy anything online. They probably don’t appreciate online spending anyway. And if they don’t have a computer they probably can’t afford to buy anything online.



Okay, we'll agree that all of those points have some validity. What you don’t know about that person is just how much they WANT to succeed in their life. MY POWER MALL was created to give ANYONE a chance to find financial freedom!



So let’s look at that person another way. It won’t cost you a penny to give a Mall to every person who wants one. Even if they have to go to the library to sign up, they can. They can sign up for a free Yahoo or Hotmail account so they can receive the Training Material. They can also use the library computer to send out dozens, hundreds, or thousands of E-cards and emails. They can probably afford to have 10 or 20 Invitation cards printed out, but even if they can’t, the E-cards and emails will do the trick. They can also make phone calls and just say, “Hey, you’ve got to go check this out! It’s FREE!” They may not be buying anything yet, but they could be helping build your Rebate System like crazy! When they start making money you can be sure they’ll buy things in their Mall.



We give them the Mall. We give them all the tools. We send them all the training materials and encourage them regularly. All we want you to do is look at the world through eyes that see every single person as someone who deserves the right to have the chance to change their life!







Now, we think it’s important to understand the potential of MPM as a multiple stream of income for people who have other businesses. Many people you talk to will have been involved at some time with an MLM company. We’ve always hated the mentality among MLM companies that punish people for telling someone in that company about another business opportunity that could help them. These people are independent adults who would most times be wise to seek multiple streams of income. They can be excited about more than one thing and they can effectively promote more than one thing. You will never find us pushing the “We’ll fire you if you do something else” mentality!



We’ve also hated the mentality that says, “We’ll build our company by stealing from another MLM company.” Why? There are 300+ MILLION people in the U.S. They all buy all the things on My Power Mall. While we have been very open about our dislike of how most MLM companies work – because we believe too many of them make money OFF people instead of with them – we also have no intention of slamming individual companies and trying to steal people away, and we hope none of you will do that either.



We believe all you have to do is share My Power Mall with people and let them make their own decisions! They’ll recognize the power of a Mall with 1000 stores that is completely FREE, requires no selling, and plays none of the “Qualifying Games.” Whether they decide to do MPM exclusively or in conjunction with many other business opportunities – the choice is theirs to make. We're simply going to focus on giving them as many tools as possible to make building their business easier, and cheer the loudest when they finally find Financial Freedom!







We hope you will always choose a path of integrity as you build your business. Be honest. Be completely open. Don’t give people a bunch of hype. Don’t make promises you can’t fulfill. Realize that people are desperate to change their lives and are looking for someone they can trust to help them.



We believe My Power Mall is the best opportunity available. If you believe the same thing, then all you have to do is share it. Don’t pressure people. Don’t push them. Offer them something free and then move on – you can always go back to them later. If you treated them with respect they will listen to you in the future.



Thanks for helping us change lives! http://www.mypowermall.com/Biz/Home/12520

"Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try one more time."Thomas Edison1847-1931, Inventor and Entrepr

Of all the skills you could ever master in the realm of income-generation, there is nothing better than learning how to build a Cash Machine. By that I mean vehicles that will throw out income, revenues, profits and paydays over and over again.

There are lots of people who claim to have them, but few actually know how it is done. One of the experts at creating wealth with Cash Machines is best-selling author, Loral Langemeier, aka, the Millionaire Maker.

You've probably read her last book, The Millionaire's Guide to Wealth Cycle Investing. This book showed how you could make double-digit returns with direct asset allocation, eliminating the middleman. It provided insight into different kinds of investments that most people have never even considered. And how to launch your own Wealth Cycle - assets to income, income to assets - and attain dizzying heights of wealth.

Now I've got something even better for you - The Millionaire Maker's Guide to a Cash Machine for Life - Loral's new book. I'm talking about a book that will change the mindset of more people than any other book published in the 20th Century. It's about the entrepreneur inside each of us, and how everyone has a skill set to achieve financial freedom.

That brings me to this letter. Loral is a contemporary, a friend and advisor to me. I love her work and have great respect for her knowledge. I turn to her for advice.

Recently, she asked for my thoughts on how to get the word out on this life-changing book. I told her it's not about her many radio or television appearances. That the best way is to get this book into the hands of 2500 intelligent, passionate and well-respected individuals who will each contact 10-100 of their friends, family and co-workers, starting a ground-swell that will rapidly expand into a volcanic explosion of demand for this book.

Once these readers see the value, applicability and integrity of her strategies, they will be hungry for Loral's more advanced coaching programs.

I probably have the largest community of subscribers around, far and away above anyone else. So...I persuaded Loral to give away a hard copy of her new book to the first 2500 of my best subscribers to keep as their own. It is a $24.95 value.

Why would Loral do this for you? Three reasons. I promised her that:

1. You would pounce on the book when it came and read it cover to cover within two weeks.
2. If it resounds with you, you will convince your friends, family and neighbors to buy this book at bookstores or on Amazon.com.
3. And, because, I know that once you read this book you will want to know more and take part in Loral's free seminars and other programs.

Is there any catch for you? Yes. One, but it's so small that it is hardly worth mentioning. You cover the $4.95 shipping and handling costs. That's it. She is willing to invest $24.95 in your success, and you invest only $4.95. She asks you to cover this minimal cost simply because she wants to feel both good about your commitment and hers in getting the book in your deserving hands.

If you have all the income in the world or have inherited enough money, then you don't need this book. If you are working for a living, stuck in a bad business or a slave to your job, than you do: You should want to read this book cover-to-cover.

There is only one problem. And it's major. She is offering only 2,500 copies to 152,000 of you, and they will go fast. First one in prospers, last one misses out.

My last words? I love this book. Friends, once you read it, your life will change and you will turn even more to Loral in building your wealth. I have.

Beware the j.o.b. and it's not what you think . . .

This is NOT another message about what makes network
marketing so great. It's not about how the everyday average
ex bike courier with asthma can start a business before going
to work and a few years later be financial independent due
to network marketing and the internet.

You already know that. This message is about something much
more subtle and it's probably at work negatively effecting
your business right now and you don't even know it.

It's this . . .

Most network marketers tend to take the j.o.b. mentality to
their business and it kills everything dead.

You have a split second of thinking like an entrepreneur,
just long enough to join, and then you slip back into the
job comfort zone. You look for someone to GIVE you a task to
do that they say will grow your business.

Dangerous at the least, but more than that it's lazy.

In the job you get paid for hours worked and so you tend to
log the amount of time you put into your business
correlating it to the amount you should be earning which is
wrong.

This is a lazy and a weak path of thinking when it comes to
your business because it's not about hours logged it's about
how effectively you use the time you do work.

Why should you work 10 hours when 1 get's the job done?

To be busy for the sake of being busy is an old hold over
habit from the job. You can quickly fool yourself into
thinking you're getting somewhere in your business by looking
at the hours logged, when really you're doing nothing but
busy work for the sake of doing busy work.

Not lazy in the sense of action, but lazy in the mind is
what I'm talking about here. To do things just to do them
because they make you FEEL like you're getting somewhere is
not going to get you anywhere.

I promise. I tried.

Businesses don't work like this, but before I belabor that
point I want to tell you a misconception I had about network
marketing that I've never seen anyone speak to or about.

A change in perspective that is priceless if understood.

Most get into network marketing for the dream of money and
time freedom. They hold, and I held this belief as well,
that at some point they can just quit and retire.

That's why they got into the business anyways right?

Wrong!

Again another hold over mental habit from the job . . .

Retiring is a work related concept that is built on the idea
that you're spend most of your time doing something you
don't want to be doing and if you just save up enough you'll
be able to free yourself from that boring and uninteresting
existence.

Well, if you carry this idea over to your network marketing
business, and I did for a while, you start to think about
your network marketing business like a job in the deepest
sense.

Sure there are tasks to be done, but it ain't a job for
sure.

What's wrong with carrying this into your network marketing
business is that in holding this notion the very essence of
what your doing in your business is aimed at trying to get
OUT of the business eventually because it's NOT what you
want to be doing.

Do you both see how subtle and how destructive this can be
for you and the long term survival of your business?

You thinking in a framework of going from a job you don't
want and want freedom from to a business you don't
necessarily want and want freedom from is not solving the
problem.

You're always trying to escape your current situation.

That's not where success lives. It lives in the place where
you love what you do and don't count down the days until you
can quit. It lives in the place where you're your moving
towards the thing you do, not constantly trying to escape
it.

This took me a while to see in myself and maybe it's a
thought enough for pause in you.

Do you see yourself in your business 10 years from now,
loving every minute of it because it doesn't hold you back
it breaths life into your days instead of taking your breath
away?

I do.

Why? My business takes very little active time, I can go
away for a while and relax, the money keeps flowing
regardless and every action I take in my business is doing
something I love to do and brings results without limits
(except my own of course).

Pull yourself away from doing drudging work and put
yourself into a situation where you love sitting right in
the thick of it and that my friend is where you will find
your greatest success, not only in business, but in life.

The internet has been the most valuable tool to allow me to
sit in such a position, a position where money, leads, and
recruits flow in abundance, a position filled with exciting,
unlimited, and fun possibilities for growth, and it can be
yours to. Here's how:

Think andGrow Rich Chapter 1

.

Be sure to drink extra water as You DeTox Your Mind.

Remember This, Small Minded People Talk ABOUT
People while Brilliant People Talk ABOUT Thoughts..

Every time You let people "Rent" space in your head
for any reason You are Giving them Your Power.....

This Life Changing Event Will Cost You NOTHING but
Your Time. Do NOT Start this process if You Don't
have the guts to take it to the finish line.

We will share what we learned from each chapter in
Think And Grow Rich starting with Chapter One and
ending with chapter Fifteen.

These are my thoughts from Chapter One:

Wow no matter how many times you read "Think
And Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill. You will get more
from it every time, WHEN YOUR MIND IS OPEN.

This one quote from chapter One says it all:

"Our brains become magnetized with the dominating
thoughts that we hold in our minds, and, by means
with which no man is familiar, these "magnets"
attract to us forces, the people, the circumstances
of life that harmonize with the nature of our dominating thoughts."

The Secret is in the TITLE, THINK AND GROW RICH.

ALL your success or failure is in YOUR mind.

YOU are in complete control of your SUCCESS.

NO ONE or NOTHING can stop you, but you NEED
to have the RULES to WIN in YOUR LIFE.

1. DESIRE.

2. BURNING DESIRE.

3. DESIRE BACKED BY FAITH.

4. BELIEF.

5. DETERMINED.

6. IMAGINATION.

7. OPEN MINDED-NESS.

8. DESIRE, DESIRE, DESIRE, DESIRE, DESIRE.

The 7 steps DO NOT MATTER WITHOUT DESIRE.

Are we clear on this. Your WHY is your DESIRE,
when you figure out your WHY it will be a very
emotional experience for you.

YOUR TRUE WHY NEVER HAS ANYTHING TO DO
WITH MONEY.

PLEASE, do you get it am I getting the point
across to you ?

If I have not got my message across to you then
PLEASE re-read the story about Edwin C. Barnes
and Thomas Edison.

None of Edisons sales people BELIEVED that the
NEW Edison Dictating Machine could be sold EASILY.

Barnes (BELIEVED) why, because of his DESIRE
his (WHY)

If you still don't get it PLEASE read the story about
Napoleon Hill's Son WOW.

Remember: You can only have two things in life,

Reasons or Results.

Reasons don't count.

Results are determined by the thoughts you have.

Can you predict the future?
Post by Rich Schefren. Filed under Effectiveness, General. 206 Comments.

My last blog post was about the myth of retirement, and how it robs most people of the happiness they hope for. It really struck a nerve with many of my readers.

If you’ve been patiently waiting for my solution… your wait is over, the cavalry is charging ahead. And if your current situation seems hopeless, you’re in luck, because when we’re done you’ll have an answer that will definitely work for you.

How can I be so sure? Because what I am about to layout for you are the very same strategies guiding me and many of my famous clients.

But before we blitz down the trail together I need to point out a few of the more obvious signs along the way. You see, right now most people have a false sense of certainty about what they believe will be their likely future. Truth be told, most entrepreneurs’ envisioned future isn’t much different from an infant’s security blanket – they both don’t serve any real purpose other than providing a false sense of safety.

I know what I just wrote sounds cold, but think about it. Could you have predicted you current situation (good or bad) 5 years ago? How about 10 years ago? For anyone with even an ounce of ambition cycling through their veins the answer has to be “no.”

From what I gather, the single biggest reason for the gap between what we want and where we end up is perspective. Most people seem to be sleepwalking through life, with little awareness of where they are really heading and even less recognition for what’s going on around them.

So, before you can predict anything, you need to have a clue about the overall context - meaning the environment you currently operate in. You see, one of the biggest factors influencing your future will be how you interact with everything that’s going on around you. Makes sense, doesn’t it?

Of course it does. So, let me ask you a question…

“Have you noticed how everything around us is changing so fast these days?”

Think about it. Just compare where the world is today to where it was just a few years ago.

Today, the best selling rap artist is white (Eminem), the most successful golfer is black (Tiger Woods), the tallest basketball player in the NBA is Chinese (Yao Ming), the French have been accusing Americans of being condescending and not caring about the views of foreigners, we now pay for water (bottled water is $9 a gallon) while music is free (sort of), and you need 9 different phone numbers to reach any two of your friends. I could go on and on…

Don’t make the mistake that the business world is somehow immune from the snowball of rapid change. I first noticed how uncertain the future is in the business world after reading Tom Peters’ and Robert Waterman’s book In Search Of Excellence. Peters and Waterman celebrated “excellence in companies that broke the mold”… Years later, these same companies were no longer excellent and the only thing that these excellent companies broke was their ability to survive and thrive.

Celebrated business guru Jim Collins author of bestselling books Built To Last, and Good To Great hasn’t been immune from the hyper-speed of business change either. The companies he profiled in Built To Last, did indeed last, although they weren’t exactly built to emulate.

Over half of Jim’s “visionary companies” have slipped dramatically in performance and reputation since the book’s release. These companies’ visions could now be better categorized as blurry rather than guiding. And chances are good that if he were to rewrite the book today companies like Ford, Sony, Boeing, Nordstrom, Merck, Motorola, and Disney wouldn’t even make his runner’s up list.

Just in case you mistakenly believe I am taking a shot at either Collins or Peters, I’m not. I wouldn’t even dare. These two men rank among my top five business heroes. But the point is obvious nonetheless. With everything changing so fast these days our futures are lot less predictable then ever before.

That’s why it’s no longer safe to assume that your tomorrow will be like today or yesterday, no matter how excellent you’ve been or how long you’ve been around. Moreover, the further you go out into the future the more your vision resembles a fairy tale.

Now before you go any further please read the prior paragraph again. Because when you face up to the hard cold reality that you really cannot be too certain about your future, you realize sacrificing everything for it (the whole retirement idea) doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.

Of course you and I both realize the future is going to come. And we all believe certain actions taken today will improve our future.

So how do we balance the two?

If we live completely for today we might find our future somewhat unforgiving and very unpleasant, yet if we live completely for the future we might find we sacrificed our best years for nothing more than a mirage. Either way you end up with a heap of regrets.

Let me remind you that what got us on this conversation in the first place was the scary fact that my masseuse “GP” had not taken a day off in over 180 days. But I never told you why…

When GP first told me about her grueling schedule I asked her when she made time for fun. Initially she tried to feed me some line about making time “here and there”. I would have challenged her on her answer but I could tell by her tone she honestly believed what she was telling me.

My experience coaching so many successful marketing gurus taught me not to challenge closely held beliefs head on. If you do all you meet up with is a lot of resistance, because one of the reasons these people are successful is they’re not easily swayed from their own positive self-affirming beliefs.

I used to come across this all the time when I was coaching. GP like many of my clients had already convinced herself that she actually did have fun. If I challenged her belief she would have gotten defensive and more committed to the belief.

Instead, I asked for the details (which by the way is always the best way to covertly challenge any belief). “Well, tell me, what do you like to do for fun?” I asked. “Lots of things” she replied. “Tell me some of them” I challenged. She thought for a minute or two, and then told me she “used” to have fun by going rollerblading, playing with her dogs, or going to the beach.

Sure, she had things that she “used to do” for fun – but when I pressed further by asking her to tell me some of the things she’s done recently for fun, within the past 4 months, she didn’t have any answers.

GP then admitted to me (and more importantly to herself) she really didn’t make time for fun. It’s sad yet I see it all the time. I got the feeling that GP was hiding. Life was passing her by so fast and she just kept her head down clinging to the certainty of work over the uncertainty of her achieving happiness.

And while this won’t be popular to write I’ll write it anyway because the more I live the more I am convinced of its truth.

And here it is…

Most People Consistently Choose Unhappiness Over Uncertainty.

I know you want to disagree with that statement, don’t you? I know I did. Because if you can prove it’s not true then you’ll never have to inspect your life under that standard.

Let it stew for a few minutes… “Most People Consistently Choose Unhappiness Over Uncertainty“.

If you’re up for being real honest with yourself - couldn’t you identify areas of your life where you are currently making that choice. If you ever answered a dream with “Sure, I’d love to, BUT WHAT IF…” What follows next is usually an uncertainty that is dominating your life decisions.

But I don’t want to get too far ahead of ourselves here. I’ve got a lot more to share with you about this, but let me tell you what I asked GP to do, because I want you to do the same. I asked GP to put together a list of 20 things she really enjoys before my appointment the next week.

What about you? Can you do it?

Sadly, many of you will not be able to come up with 20 fun things you enjoy. But if you can come up with even three it’s a start. No matter how many you come up with I want to invite you to post your answers here.

This way we can learn from each other’s lists. My hope is if there are enough people posting we can help the GPs of this world put together a great list for themselves. And like I said, it doesn’t matter how many you have now, just go ahead and share them here.

In my next post I’ll tell you what’s on my list, and how to use this list to dramatically boost your productivity and be a lot more successful a lot sooner.

But first, you’ve got to make the list… So have at it by commenting here.

Why Most People Die Without A Happy Ending
Post by Rich Schefren. Filed under Effectiveness, General. 156 Comments.

Last week I got a massage.

It was different than any massage I ever received (which is why I am telling you about it). It reminded me of a key distinction between my most successful clients and those that seem to continually struggle.

The masseuse (I’ll call her GP for short) discovered a big knot in my shoulder and asked me if I work in front of a computer. I said I did and I’d been spending a lot more time typing than I usually do.

(The reason for my recent marathon typing sessions is the new report I’m working on. I’m sure it will open people’s eyes just like the Internet Business Manifesto did last year. More on that later…)

The conversation with GP drifted to how many hours a week I work, what I do, and what I do on the weekends. When she heard how much time I took out of my schedule for fun and time with my family, she was surprised at how I’m able to squeeze in everything.

Her response was not unusual at all. In fact, whenever I explain my schedule I’m always greeted with envy first, followed quickly by confusion, then wonder at how I’m able to live my life so well.

Being polite, I asked GP about her schedule. Her answer absolutely horrified me…

GP had been working seven days a week for the past 6 months with no days off and no vacations. At first I thought I had misheard her, but I hadn’t. Six massages a day, day in and day out, for over 180 days straight.

She making six figures – but she’s living her “life” based on a faulty assumption I see entrepreneurs making far too often.

Look, even though I’m only 36 years old, I’ve already retired twice. Yet, today I am typing this note to you from my office surrounded by 12 exceptional employees. What happened?… Why the hell am I still working?

The reason I work today is: the whole concept of ‘Retirement’ is fundamentally flawed.

The idea that you should sacrifice the best years of your life hoping to discover magical happiness in your later years doesn’t prove out at all. It’s just an old-fashioned theory you’ve been sold – and all you have to do is look around to prove to yourself how unrealistic it is.

In case you didn’t know… only a very small percentage of seniors can actually retire. Nowadays most are forced to work to supplement their income. And the trend is only getting worse. With the recent collapses of private pensions and the continual decrease in purchasing power of social security, many experts have come to the same conclusion…

“I don’t think were going to see another generation that’s going to fully retire. There’s going to be a lot of people that are going to continue to work for the rest of their lives.” Doug Lockwood, Retirement Specialist, Harbor Lights Financial Group.

But what’s even worse is this sort of “hoping it will be better later” dramatically decreases the likelihood you’ll ever achieve the success you desire. Soon I’ll tell you why this is. But for now you need to think about the answers to these two questions as you go through your day:

What if you could never retire?

What if the way you choose to work today would set the pattern you must continue until the day you die? What would you be doing differently?

Let me know your answers to these two vital questions by posting your comments here:

And if you think you know why this reduces your chances of overall success, tell me why.

Then be on the look out for another message from me… because I’m going to tell you how to dramatically increase your chances of success AND at the same time enjoy your life a whole lot more than you do now.

Interested?… Stay Tuned….

Make Up Your Mind Already
Post by Rich Schefren. Filed under Effectiveness, General. 102 Comments.

Have you ever met an idiot that is more successful than you are?

We all have, right?

Frequently, when I am coaching, a client will say something along the lines of “I’m just as smart as (blank “guru”), so why am I working so much harder yet making so much less than them?

When they ask, I’m never quite sure… Do they really want the truth, or are they simply venting their frustrations? To play it safe, I usually say nothing and wait to hear what comes out next. After a silent pause, the client speaks…

The next few words out of their mouth tell me everything I need to know. If they are serious they’ll press me and ask again. If not they’ll simply move on to the next topic.

You see, I need to know if they are serious, because if they’re not… they aren’t ready to hear the cold, hard truth.

What about you? Do you want to know why people with half your smarts are making ten times more than you? If so, keep reading…

Today, the internet provides an overwhelming amount of information. Never before have so many people been so well informed… And yet, so utterly confused.

Lots of entrepreneurs go around thinking that “Access to information is what separates the winners from the losers” and, “The smartest person in the room should be the most successful”. Not true. If it were, then whoever bought the most products, or read the most books would be richest, and we both know how outrageous that is.

That’s not to say that getting the right information isn’t important, but it’s only a tool.

When it comes to being successful in business, there are a few easily overlooked elements that are absolutely vital. They’re truly the deciding factors.

So, what are the crucial “winning” elements at the core of all successful entrepreneurs (even the “idiots”)?

1.) Action Orientation. Taking action is the real difference between the super-successful and the wannabes. Wannabes simply absorb information and at their very best, react to it. And with such an overwhelming supply of information, most of them are simply numbed by it.

Contrast that with the successful entrepreneurs out there. When they get good information… they act on it - as soon as they possibly can. The main reason why so many don’t take action is because they are paralyzed by the prospect of failure. Add to that, their mistaken belief that the next information nugget they come across will be the difference between success and failure, and it becomes obvious why their “waiting” has them stuck.

If they press on, they only become more confused by conflicting facts. All the while, becoming increasingly frustrated that they still haven’t found the magic they’ve been seeking.

If you’ve ever been there, here’s my advice - Stay focused! Take a deep breath, and ask yourself, -What do I have to get done today?- Not tomorrow, or next week, or even next month. Today! And not what do I have to learn, but what do I have to DO to further my success?!?! It’s easy to lose your focus on today when you are thinking about tomorrow. And it’s just as tempting to believe that the next pearl of wisdom you come across is going to make all the difference. But it won’t. You’ll never reach the level of success you crave without taking specific DAILY steps that take you there.

It’s pretty straightforward. To build a successful business you have to train your brain to crystallize a future vision, break it into small details, and organize them into daily tasks. After that, all you need is the courage to commit to the completion of these daily tasks - despite all the obstacles that get in your way.

Sounds easy enough, right? So what will sabotage your success? Mainly fear! Fear is your enemy. The little voice whispering - what if it doesn’t work? What if I’m wrong? Look, some self-doubt is natural - but when it prevents you from achieving the success you deserve it’s a problem. Which leads to our next point:

2.) Rise Above Your Fears & Doubts. You have to get far enough above your doubts to keep working or you’re doomed. What works for me is to forget it all. And the easiest way to do that, is to get lost in a project. It works for me and it’ll work for you. Just throw yourself so deep into your work that your fears stay far enough away until you’ve finished all that’s needed to be done. Every successful business owner learns how to do this, sooner or later. What makes it easier is knowing…

Experience will always be your best teacher

When it comes to business you are going to make mistakes. We all do. Even the Intels, Microsofts, and Googles of the world mis-step from time to time. Building a successful company is complex, and there are always factors that lie beyond your control.

The trick is to learn from your mistakes. Just do your best to limit your risk, focus every day, keep trying, learn what works, and don’t torture yourself when you take a wrong turn. Just notice it, learn from it, and change your approach.

And since we are talking about mistakes… Do you know what’s at the root of most mistakes that you’ll make? I see it over and over again, playing out in so many online businesses. Yet, most people would never guess what it is, in a million years. Even though practically everyone who struggles in business is guilty of it.

For some strange reason, everyone wants to make things more complicated than they need to be. It’s as if everyone is fascinated by the overly complex, so instead of keeping things simple, they burden themselves with too much to do and too little time to do any of it right. Which leads to the next crucial element…

3.) Keep Things As Simple As You Can To Avoid The “Stupidity Tax”. This a big one. It’s so easily avoidable but for some reason it’s one almost everyone online seems to walk right into.

Here‘s an example how this flawed approach plays out…

Instead of picking one way to drive traffic to your website, mastering it, and then moving on - most people do the opposite. They want to learn about launches, pay-per-click, search engine optimization, affiliate marketing, and every other method under the sun, all at the same time without developing any level of mastery in any of the tactics whatsoever.

Yet, the most successful online businesses I know do the opposite. Agora for example focused primarily on pay-per-click for their first 50 million in online sales. My company focused on jv/affiliate launches and in 9 months we’ve done over 7 million in sales.

When you pursue multiple directions in your business all at the same time you end up making very little progress. And it doesn’t matter if you are smarter and working harder than other successful people because you are spread way too thin.

On the internet, making this mistake can really kill your business, here’s why: In the online marketing world your results are directly related to how your skills stack up against your competitors. In Google adwords if your competition is better they’ll pay less for traffic and convert more of it than you will. In search engine optimization they’ll rank higher than you. In the affiliate world whoever converts better, sells more, and therefore can pay affiliates more, which locks other competitors out of the market.

It doesn’t work this way offline. You don’t pay more if your ad or commercial sucks. You might not get the number of responses but you’re not locked out, and you’re not forced into an inferior position, saddled with paying the “stupidity tax.”

The Solution -> Isolate the fewest activities you can be successful with. Then knock them off one at a time. Don’t make the mistake of trying to do too much and marginalizing your results.

Remember: Confucius said “Man who chases two rabbits catches neither”.

If you follow my advice you’ll get to take back quite a bit of time you’re currently wasting. You’ll be free from wasting time trying to learn too much about too many tactics at once. Plus you’ll get back the time youvre wasting trying to execute with a superficial level of knowledge. What you do with your newfound free time leads us to our fourth and final success-component, which is…

4.) Know Where The Money Is. It takes time to know your market, but it’s time you must invest if you’re serious about your business’s success.

The first step is quite simply to open your eyes and look at what’s going on around you. You need to keep your finger on the pulse of your market to know what’s “hot” in it. But that’s only 1/2 the equation. The second step is to do your best to understand WHY it’s hot. Until you understand your market on a deeper level you’ll keep scratching your head wondering why you are making less than your “dumb” counterparts.

The good news is that once you get it - When you really understand the psychology of your market; your results will improve immediately in all the marketing you do. From emails to pay-per-click your results will multiply because you’ll know your prospects better than any of your competitors.

So there you have it. If you’ve ever wondered why you make less than others even if you are smarter than they are, now you know. And it’s up to you. Are you going to make up your mind to keep plodding along somewhat frustrated with your progress or are you going to embrace the 4 points I shared with you here and decide once and for all that you are going to do what it takes to be successful.

Only time will tell…

The Process for Rapidly

Learn a Step by Step Process to Harness and Use the Law of Attraction

The Law of Attraction works all the time, every second of your life, as long as you're consciously thinking.

In Lesson 1 and 2 we discussed the Law of Attraction. In Lesson 3 we showed you how to apply thought control to ensure that you're only focusing on what you want and avoiding attracting what you don't want. In lesson 4, we showed you how to gain clarity on you goals.

What's next then?

After you've identified what you'd like to attract into your life, do you just try to go through life thinking positively about it and waiting for it to fall into your lap?

Knowing what you want is the first step - but there is far more you can do.

In this lesson we'll show you a specific, concrete, process you can apply in your life to help you manifest what you want faster, smoother and easier.

Variations of this process have been echoed by many, many wonderful teachers over the last 100 years - including Wallace Wattles, Napoleon Hill, Jose Silva, Abraham-Hicks, and most recently Bob Proctor and other teachers from the movie "The Secret".

It was Napoleon Hill who first attempted to define the process. Commissioned by Andrew Carnegie, the richest man of his time, Hill set out to interview and research the lives of 500 of the greatest thinkers, businessmen and luminaries of his era. He documented his findings in the book "Think and Grow Rich".

Hill writes:

If you're one of those that believe that hard work and honesty, alone, will bring riches, perish the thought! It's not true! Riches, when they come in huge quantities, are never the result of hard work alone! Riches come, if they come at all, in response to DEFINITE DEMANDS, based upon the application of DEFINITE PRINCIPLES, and not by chance or luck
~ Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich

In this lesson, we'll expand upon Hill's work. We'll include new ideas and philosophies that came from teachers after Napoleon Hill. We'll show you the process you can use and apply into your life to attract the abundance you seek.

The process involves 4 steps.

Knowing What You Want
Moving into a Meditative State of Mind
Creative Visualization
Taking Definite Action

The Process
Step 1: Know What You Want
The first and most important part of the process is KNOWING what you want. It's amazing how many people live their lives without setting any clear, specific goals.

You'll remember this topic was covered in Lesson 3 on goals, don't hesitate to refresh your memory.

If you're unclear on this part of the process, re-read lesson three.

Once you have a clear, definite idea of the type of life you want to build, you're ready for Step 2.

Step 2: Meditation
Once you've identified your goals, write them down somewhere. There's power in commiting goals to paper.

The next step is to pick a time of the day, where you can spend 5 to 15 minutes, uninterrupted and do nothing but focus on your goals.

The best time to do this is in the morning when you've just woken up. Lie up in bed or on a comfy couch. You'll spend the next few minutes focusing on your goals.

This will be your daily "meditation" time.

First, move into a state of relaxed meditation. Don't get hung up on the word "meditation". We're not talking about specific forms of Eastern or Religious meditation. We're talking about moving into a peaceful relaxed state where you can connect to your subconscious.

Find a comfortable position - maybe lying on a bed or on the sofa. Be comfortable enough that you can relax - but not too comfy that you might fall asleep.

You do not have to worry about "clearing your mind" or sitting cross-legged or any other type of meditation cliche. All we want you to do is get into a peaceful relaxed state.

At this point, from Lesson 4, you should already have a clear idea of what changes you seek to attract into your life. It could be health, money, love, giving back to society - anything that pulls you out of the current reality trap and excites you.

If you still have no idea what you want at present don't worry - a state of peaceful meditation can be the perfect time to reflect and realize what you desire. Research shows that people tend to be more creative and in touch with their intuitive sides when they are in such states of meditation. Use this time to think creatively about what you wish to do with your life.

Step 3: Visualize What You Want
While at your state of relaxed meditation, visualize yourself having attained that which you're seeking to attract.

For example, if you're seeking to move into a bigger home, see yourself having this home. Picture yourself living out your dreams in your new home, such as wining and dining friends in the spacious kitchen, playing with the kids in the living room, mowing the greenest lawn and perfecting your flourishing garden. Bring in images that reflect the quality and type of home you want for your ideal lifestyle. If you want a pool - see yourself lounging by the poolside and enjoying the sun.

There are many ways to practice visualization. What you're doing here is called "Creative Visualization". It's creative in the sense that you're attracting to you -- creating-- that which you visualize.

Use Your Senses
It's important to make your imagery clear, vivid and colorful. The more realistic the visualization, the better the results. Some people may have difficulty visualizing. Don't worry about this - it could simply mean that your dominant sense is not sight. But maybe it's taste, or touch or hearing. That's fine - feel the warmth of your new fireplace, hear the sound of your kids playing in the pool, smell the gorgeous smells wafting from your new kitchen. The more senses you bring into this imagery, the better the results.

Bring Emotions Into The Mix
Remember the equation?




Emotions help magnify your power of attraction. When visualizing the life you want, feel the joy, happiness and excitement of the situation.

The stronger your emotions - the faster you can manifest into your reality that which you're trying to attract.

To increase the emotions associated with your visualization - build the feeling of having it NOW. IN other words, when you see your dream home, don't think of it as something that COULD come to you in the future. Imagine you had your dream home right now - picture yourself there and just think how you would feel if you were in that home right now - NOT sometime in the future IF you had enough money - but in the HERE and NOW.

Seek the Greater Good
Another way to increase the emotions behind your creative visualization practice is to imagine more than just you benefiting from your attraction. Staying with the house analogy - see your kids loving the lawn because they have space to play ball. See your spouse loving the brand new living room. See your friends and family visiting and feeling the warmth and beauty of the new home.

Do you recall the good feelings you get when you do a charitable act like donate money, or when you give a gift to someone who means a lot to you?

Remember what we said about feelings? Feelings are the soul's way of letting you know you're on the right track. The act of giving feels good because it's aligned with your inner being. The joy you feel is a sign of the appropriateness of your thoughts.

So when you practice creative visualization, see others benefiting. Family, kids, spouse, community, friends - the more people the better. When you see the smiles and happiness on someone else's face (even if you're just imagining a possible outcome), it helps to draw out more positive emotion. This added emotion in turn makes the process of manifesting faster and smoother.

That's really all it takes. Bring in your senses. Make the image real. Feel emotions and see others benefiting.

This whole process can take 5 - 20 mins. It's up to you. Just 10 minutes a day is enough to set the gears of the Universe moving in your favor.

Now the final step.

Step 4: Apply Definite Action
Once you've determined what you want and channeled your thoughts and emotions towards this outcome the next step is to start paving the way for that future reality to come your way. The key is ACTION.

Let's say you've been meditating and visualizing a new home. Start doing something - anything - to move you towards acquiring this home. It does not matter if you do not know exactly what you need to do. Nor does it matter if you don't have the financial resources to acquire the home. Keep focused on it, believe you will acquire it and take action

Napoleon Hill says:

Do not wait for a definite plan, through which you intend to exchange services or merchandise in return for the money you are visualizing, but begin at once to see yourself in possession of the money, demanding and expecting meanwhile, that your subconscious mind will hand over the plan, or plans you need.
Let's analyze that statement. What Hill is saying is that when you're seeking to manifest money, or a home or anything you wish, DO NOT worry if you're unsure of what action you need to take. Begin at once to chanel your thoughts towards what you're trying to attract and the answer you seek - the action you need to take - will come to you.

It may come as an inspired thought or maybe even a 'EUREKA' moment or simply a moment of clarity while meditating or through a book you find or something a friend says - the possibilities are endlesss! The way it comes is not important. Trust that the answer will come.

Edison was known to have said "Ideas come from space. This may seem impossible and hard to believe but it’s true. Ideas come from out of space."

Edison was referring to intuition. He claimed that most of his ideas came to him through intuition. Edison, by the way, approved of the research conducted by Hill in his book "Think and Grow Rich" and granted the process we're sharing here (inspired by Hill) his stamp of approval.

To rapidly create a flow of ideas and to keep you in the right mindframe for focusing on your goal the solution is essentially simple - you need to apply definite action.

Do something - ANYTHING - to move you towards your goal. Start looking up homes for sale in the newspapers. Start looking at new furniture (even if you've not yet found the right home). Speak to real estate agents, search the internet, buy books on purchasing houses.

Definite Action, when applied towards your definite goal, creates miracles through the Law of Attraction. One of the cardinal sins is to over-analyse whether you are doing the right thing. Don't worry about this - live your life and act on your beliefs what you think to be right.

As we know this cannot just happen overnight. Hill says, take a few steps "baby-steps" - towards your goal. As you take action, events and coincidences will guide you towards the end result. Live the process and as time goes on be amazed at the joy and happiness that enters your life!

The Four Steps

These four steps are the cornerstone of the process of applying The Law of Attraction into your life.

The results can be dramatic:

Hill, after studying almost 500 of the most successful people of his era wrote that once you apply the process..

When Riches Begin to Come, They Come So Quickly, in Such Great Abundance
That One Wonders Where They Have Been Hiding During All Those Lean Years
~ Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich

Begin this process tomorrow. Spending 10 minutes in the morning sitting in meditation may seem like a chore, given you might have to rush to work, look after the kids or beat traffic. But it may just be the most important 10 minutes of your day. Indeed many who practice this process -- swear that it is the single most productive 10 minutes of their entire day.

Begin at once. In the next lesson we'll dive deeper into this process and help you answer some roadblocks you might face. Before the next lesson, do practice this process at least once.
