To ACT today...

[New Year]

Just I want to share something that i found in a old harddrive of mine,
some thoughts that can be the light to illuminate your internet path...

"Like you, I know times are hard.. even if you have money. There is alo’t of pressure and demand the market puts on a person once they gain some sort of spot light.

Even if you have no spot light.. i’m sure you got plenty of demand all around you. Just eating away at your mentality day in and day out as you shuffle through loads of MMO crap.

Hmm.. should I do SEO?, Should I do Paid Traffic this MLM looks like a winner.. how do i build my list.. etc..

Then your wife/girl/significant other has demand on you.. your kids.. bills.. friends etc..

Seriously you may want to explode.. or maybe you got it under control .. i dunno..

But I’ll let you on that for the past few months there had been LOTS of demand on me both business and personal.

And.. there was so much that I had to just unplug myself from EVERYTHING.

Literally I could not take another Facebook PM about SEO.. another Joint Promo opportunity.. like we are running out of those any time soon..

Another NewsFeed Post about this and that.. the world is collapsing, this new MLM is booming.. this pill will f**king help you with this disease - that pain this disorder..

Then you got the dudes, Yea.. me and my 3 trillion dollar corvette I just had waxed with my pubic hairs..

I think you can tell i’m pissed.. off.. NOT at the world NO not at others success.. NO .. not at the newest world issues or the latest POST..

Not at all.. i really care less about those these things.

But lately I been pissed…

AT MYSELF.

See I let stress get the best of me and it started effecting my health.. not going to get into it all here.. but it started draining me BIG TIME.. and even my partner Michael Young was getting drained out as well.. health wise.

So the past few weeks I have been planning a way out that is so simple anyone can do, unless you don’t take action and you let shit over complicate you.

Its quite simple.. Internet Marketing At Its Core is

A) Research your market (find the hungry fish) ~ Shawn Casey
B) Make a irresistible offer that fits that persona ~ Many Gurus
C) Sell Sell Sell.

I mean its that simple right? So why do so many of us Crap it up?

Ill tell you why? DISTRACTION, HEALTH, FAMILY ISSUES etc… yea, I got ton of those..

BUT if you look in the mirror you will see that YOU are the problem not anyone else around you.

If you have not made any money online or if you made boat loads of money online.. ask your self this question

Are You Happy?

Can you wake up every single day and get to work happy to do so if so great!

If not.. then there needs to be a subtle, but simple change in your life.

First of all time to unplug and organize yourself.

1) Hide Facebook on your phone .. you know it has little folders that you can make? well stick it one. Out of sight has helped me forget to click it.. 60% more of the time now.

2) Remove your self from the 800 groups you never follow, only keep the ones you do. Also Unfollow people who post nonsense.. that helps clean up your newsfeed and and can be done in 1 hour. and a little up keep - OH there is more CRAP - unfollow!

3) Get your self a new email.. and don’t SIGNUP for shit.. unless its towards your main goals!

4) your old email.. check it once a day.. Unsubscribe from EVERYTHING that does not reach your goal, what I did was change my contact information to the new email of people i still want to hear from.

5) Organize your cluttered desk top. Yes.. I made a simple A, B, C folder system where A has all the stuff i need to know, learn, do NOW and B is the maybe or shit that is not that important and C is for distraction..

Don’t worry you will not miss as much as you think.

6) Get your self a Project Management system. I use Asana and I love it.. it will run you 50 bucks.. but you can make your daily tasks and assign shit to your team or whatever, projects and all of that.

7) Make a plan to do 1 stinking thing, systematize it and stick to it.. to do this simply break down a business model you want to run.. make it into departments, each department has a rocess to it, and each department works off each other towards the end goal.. this will help you figure out what things you need to do, staff etc.. to make it something work for you.

Use google drive.. create a folder that follows those departments think of it as little cubicles in an office that move paper to each cubicle when done

8) Watch some motivational videos.. or funny videos.. just to give you energy and that 2 min break you need to keep moving forward.

9) Start to time block your day… Michael always yells at me to do this .. and I still getting adjusting to.. but im trying and its the difference from wasted time to productive time..

What I find works best is I make a task list for myself in asana and then order it in whats priority for the day.. then i execute it as best I can.

10) Don’t be afraid to SAY NO.. you don’t need the newest thing out there.. I like what Dr Ben said once in a post.. I use a 3 day rule if me or my team is not going to use it in 3 days.. then I don’t get it..

Im a victim of this.. but also I make sure its towards my END goals

11) Don’t be afraid to say NO to new partner opportunities if its not going to make any sense for you. You owe YOURSELF EVERYTHING not the other way around.

==

Doing these simple life tweaks will make you more productive, clearer headed more goal oriented and success driven.

Like I said its hard with the constant demand we have on ourselves form everything and it can make you really unmotivated as it made me plenty of times..

Realize you cant help everyone.. but in helping yourself you will help everyone around you.

Realize that there are channels to your communication and if they are not respected.. then simply ignore.. its nothing personal its just a tweak for sanity.

If you get alo’t of requests from people like I do.. then maybe its time you hire a personal VA that can take them on for you.. plan your calendar out etc..

One of the Goals I have for my business is to remove myself from it where it runs for me on auto pilot

and in doing so its been very stressful to actually get going, but it feels good knowing that your working towards free time for new profitable ventures.

I don’t wan to make this post, too long so i’m going to leave you with this.. no matter if

You Do Affiliate SEO
You Do Client SEO
You Do Traffic
You Do Webinars
You Make Products etc..

It is a simple formula.

1) Start With a Niche.. I usually find a product first that leads me to research the niche itself further.

2) Identify the trend, pain points, lingo, and passions of that niche, Identify the persona that exists in that niche (Demo Graphics)

3) Make a simple offer to the problem.

4) Get paid.

See with all the affiliate networks and traffic sources.. you don’t EVER in your life need to make a product any more.. unless you really want to.

I like making products (Im a software guy) .. but I like being an affiliate at the same time and the formula fits anything for example in SEO

Find a few keywords that fit the niche market, make a 1 page website, (ANY domain) (you can use Weblify all day for this) make a unique article (Spin Rewriter) or video.. slap your affiliate link on it.. build a few backlinks and BOOM your ranking making money.. seriously i proved it in 4 hours.. until some knuckle head

In PAID TRAFFIC

Same as SEO. however you pay for interests .. not backlinks.. plus much faster and with FB its as expensive as YOU want it to be.

Webinars, products etc.. follow the same flow its no different!

Now.. Act,Act... the time is... now..

I like the idea of breaking your business down into separate departments (even if you're a solopreneur).
Then run through a (verbal) daily activity report and it'll soon become painfully clear which elements of your business you are ignoring.
Decide whether those elements are actually important, and if not, either ditch them or contract them out.
