Move up

We all do the same. We give our future to someone else in hope that they'll bring it up as you want. Even the best intention leaders can't bring you what you want if you don't act on it yourself.


“You control your future, your destiny. What you think about comes about. By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be. Put your future in good hands – your own.” – Mark Victor Hansen

Don't follow a leader if he doesn't have your goal on his path. Set your goal and then if you cross path with someone who's going the same way, why do a part of the trip with him or her. You can associate yourself with others, as long as they're going the same way as you.

Choose wisely your friendship. They're the people who's going to influence your thinking. Your emotion are linked to the people that are around you. If you choose people that are happy most of the time, then it will help you to be happy most of the time. If you choose people that are positive most of the time, then it will help you to be positive most of the time. And the list goes on like that...

Don't choose your friends for the wrong reason. In the past, I chose to associate myself with people that were having more problem then me. I feeling good because I was saying to myself that I had a good life in comparison to them. But in reality, it stopped me from getting a better life. Associate yourself with people that are having a better life then yours. It will motivate you to move up.

Put it all in...

If you want to write a book, put all you got in it. Don't leave anything back.

If you give it all, people will make a pro in what you wrote. With all that you gave in your book, you know enough to be a great trainer in the subject. And you'll get request for one on one people and even group. A book is only the first step.

When you become a reference in what you wrote, you become book that people will recommend to friends.

Yes, some could find your book too filled with stuff and info. And some will not read it at all. But those that do, if they think that you did a great job, they'll bring everyone into thinking that it's a great book.

Giving it all is also a great way to feel good. You know you did the best job you could at that time.

Creation

"All creation waits with eager longing for the revealing through the sons of man."
- From the Bible - Romans 8:19

Albert Einstein has this quotes burned on a corner of his desk. Creation is in you, its waiting for you to make it happen. You have the power to create.

All that potential is in you. Take action. Now!!!!

Are you among the peoples that have great ideas, but doing nothing about it because they're afraid.

"What is the worst thing that can happen?"
- Tom Wacker

Think about it like someone who needs your help. It can't become without you. If you don't help, it will die of not becoming. The creation is in you, it's all up to you to make it happens.

Take the first step and keep walking. :)

Raving fans

From the blog of Mike Michalowicz:

"The formula to creating a community of raving fans is simple:

Over serve the best at the deliberate expense of the rest.

Only when you have the courage to do this, will you grow explosively."

Wow, this is something powerful and so short.

Are you game to do that?

I always do my best to give it all and even more. I don't see how you can have a business and not giving your best to your customers.

I found out with time that we can all do more then we are use to. We can all do something better with each clients we have. It's all up to us to be willing to do it.

A free book

Things can become very different with the help of one book. Many peoples have read it and changed their life. You can too.

You can buy it here or get it for free here. It's all up to you. :)

Books can have great effect on your life. You only need to go on with some action after you read the book. Reading the book with no action is not going to bring you anything at all.

I was thinking about giving books to my friends. Doing this with the best one I read. Yes, maybe some will take it and never read it, but the ones who will take the time to read them, it could become a sparkle that will change their life.

Do you want changes in your life?

Better team

What could be done to make team building better?

I have a few ideas that could help those type of building tools.

- Set promo reward in direct relation with the work done by the member. Something like Explosive Traffic. You get back the promo of your link in the team promo from what you are promoting yourself. I don't know why someone who's promoting 1000 hits per week should get the same promo as someone who's generating 100 000 hits per week.

- If you want to give something to the team as a leader, you should reinvest 75% of what you get into the advertising of the team. And I know that most leaders in those teams don't do that.

- A team should be fully automated. Nothing should rely on the life and death of one person. Even if that person is working her ass out.

- Never add new stuff to join when you already have something good going on. When you add a new program into the team promo, you let everyone know that you gave up on the main program and that you want to max out on the team with another one. It's one of the way to break a team.

Maybe I'll set up my own team and make it better then what is out there right now.

Team...

Jumping business people...

When someone try a business. When you join and just don't give it enough time to bring result before you go for something else. I was doing just that.

Joining a program, investing some money and start to promote. But after some times, you end up thinking that it's not good enough and you join something else.

That's jumping...

If you don't broke that pattern, you'll end up with nothing. You'll loose all hope in building your business and you'll give up on it.

Usually, you need at least 2 months to see if something can work for you. And you need to promote like crazy to get any result.

A little more then a year ago, I joined Team Atlantis. I gave it 16 months to prove that it was working. And it never go to the point of me making any money. In reality, I think that those team are way too slow to really work. With 2000 hits per week from each member, it's too hard to find new motivated people. The minimum should be 10 000 hits per week. And those that are not promoting the team should not benefit from the team result. But it's not like that, the ones that are already making money just stop to promote. That's leaving a lot of dead meat for the team to feed. To work, team should be fully automated. The ones who brings the advertising should be the one earning the most. And the ones sitting on their but should be left out. I never found any team that would work like that.

Writers blank block

When you want to write, you need to set up some goals and habits to do the right things everyday. The top writer are doing it everyday. Most don't even take a day off. They write even if they don't feel like it.

The fear of the blank page. I do have it from time to time. I face my computer and nothing seams to come out. To fight this, I have a list of subject by my computer. I add new stuff as soon as I get idea on that list. Most of my post come from that list. Sometimes it's a quotes, other times it's a subject that I think I should talk about. My list is moving, because each time I use a subject I remove it from the list.

I also like to read others blog. There's a lot of good blog around the net. I just choose to read some of them that are inspiring me. And then, I write my own post about the same or near subject.

You can also find some good tips in those web sites...

Beat the blank page syndrome

Write to done

The Terror of the blank page

In reality, writing everyday is hard. And you should keep on fighting your blank page so you end up writing everyday. In the end, you'll write good stuff and some other not so good. It doesn't matter. The good stuff will always be what will stand out. And the not so good ones, will be left behind.

Habits

Do you know that we're creature of habits? We tend to do the same things the same way on and on.

If we have a bad habit, we'll keep on doing it even if we know it's bad. We'll create the reason to keep doing it. We even end up thinking our bad habits are good ones. And if we want to create a new good habits (or a bad one) we only need 27 days.

Yes, if we keep on doing it everyday for 27 days, it will become an habits.

How about creating a good habits? And how about removing a bad one?

Triple or not

Never screw me twice...

I'm gonna tell you a little story. A few month ago, I was surfing on a TE when I saw a post from the owner in the chat announcing that he would triple any buy of credits in the next hour. The time stamp on the post was 10 minutes before. So I went to the buy credits of that TE, bought a packages and put a message in the chat that I took the deal (my message was 15 minutes after the one from the owner). The owner responded that he was going to take care of it and it was ok with me. I got the basic amount of credits right away. The next day, I still didn't see the triple credits in my account, so I wrote a ticket to the admin. Then I got a double credits in my account. I know what is double and what is triple. So I wrote another ticket to the admin. And I got banners and text credits. But no triple credits. 

How do you think I felt in that? I felt screwed. I paid for triple and got double. Banners and text credits are not worth as much as basic credits so it's never gonna replace them.

Do you think that I'll make any business with that owner? NO, never. Screw me once, it's an error. Screw me twice, I'm the error.

All that for a little $5 worth of credits. That's what he save.

Doing stuff like that, how much time do you think he's going to be in business? Not long...

Follow the leader

"If you can't follow yourself, why would anybody follow you?" J. C. Maxwell

Another great quotes by J. C. Maxwell. Before you ask people to follow you, you need to be good enough for you first. You need to be willing to follow you. And this means, really follow you. Don't lie to yourself, you'll know it's a lie. :)

Be a great leader for you and you'll meet people that will be willing to follow that great leader.

Stop thinking that you can hide behind the digital net and fool people with all your lies. You can't hide the scam you're in. It will be known and you'll be identified as a piece of junk. Scam is just that, pieces of junk.

And if you think that you can hide behind false identity, one way or another, you'll get what you deserve.

Be true, be a great leader, start with yourself.

Be more and you'll get more.

Who are you?

Personal branding...

You need to brand yourself. It's so powerful that some people are recruiting with their branding only. Anything they promote will bring new referral because people trust them.

You can do this with a pic of you or anything that you like. But a pic of you smiling is the best tools to build a positive reputation.

In the end, it's all about reputation...   When your reputation is established, you'll become a reference and people will join under you because of it.

Laws to build a good reputation:

- Promote all the time and everywhere. You need to bee out there so people will see that you are still active.

- Stick to the stuff you promote. There's nothing more damaging then a jumping promoter. If you promote SFI, then keep promoting it. The longer you'll promote it, the better your brand will be associated with it.

- Create new splash about what you are already promoting. This is a way to entertain people and build your brand.

- Make things interesting. Don't hesitate to promote yourself before the program you're in. Create an interesting brand.

- Don't follow others. Do your best to brand yourself with something out of the ordinary.

Goal for June

At the beginning of the month of May, I said I would write a post each day until the end of the month. I failed, I only wrote 28 days out of the 31 in that month. I'm going to do better this month. :)

Do you set goals when you start a new month? A new week? A new day?

Are you afraid that if you set goal, you ain't going to complete them? If so, don't worry, you're not alone. Most people will settle for small goal because they don't want to fail. Me, I'm only starting to set goal. I was among the people who didn't took time to do it. I was going with the flow. Hoping that things would go right if I would only work hard.

Yes, working hard is a good thing. But with no goal, it's like swimming with only one arm, you end up moving in a circle.

We're in the third day of this month. Why not take 5 minutes to write a goal for this month. Start with that. Keep that writing somewhere close so you'll have the opportunity to see it many times during the month. And, at the end of the month, get back to it and see how you have done.

For me, 28 days out of 31 is very good. :)

Who's your master?

Become your master.

As Mike said, Become a student of yourself in his post.

A lot of people asked him what was the secret of success. And that's what he found.

Why, because most of us already know what to do, but we just don't.

You need the will to become the master. You need the drive to face your fear and continue. This isn't easy, like most would think. It's hard and most will stop before taking action.

Success is the result of hard work and consistence. Success is when you get up after you fall down. Success is to keep going even if you haven't got any good results. Success is just to do it and keep doing it. To become a master, you need to "Do the Do".

I'm not the first to tell you this. You already know all that.

Blog or no Blog

In reality, having a blog is not something for everyone. Sorry, but if you need someone else to write your post, it's a very good clue that you're not fit to have one.

If you pay someone else to take care of your blog, then you should invest your money somewhere else.

I see so many blog with one or two post. Others with a post 6 months ago. And others with one post full of banners.

Please, you must understand that having a blog is a responsibility. You need to feed it if you want it to grow. You need to take care of it if you don't want it to die of starvation.

Save a blog today!

And if you think that you can wrote a minimum of 3 post per week, then do it.

If you keep writing and learning. You'll end up with a blog that will help people on the web. There's a need for good blog on the web. Just do it!
