7 Steps to Think Your Way to Wealth and Prosperity

7 Steps to Think Your Way to Wealth and Prosperity
By: Jeremy Gislason
Have you ever noticed that thought and attitude are contagious?
For example, let’s say you take a vacation to Jamaica. The laid back nature of the people, the culture, is more than just a vacation phenomenon. If you were a fly on the wall, i.e. not on vacation but simply spying on the locals, you’d notice that they’re significantly more laid back than say your average Manhattan inhabitant.

If you live in an environment which is very religious, chances are that religion even if it has never been on your radar or part of your upbringing, will become part of your life. Now you may not start going to church regularly but religion and religious theory is going to enter your life – it’s almost guaranteed.

The collective consciousness is defined by Robert Kennedy as A mode of awareness, in which we directly experience, through an intuitive felt-sense, our union with the interconnected wholeness of life, and recognize ourselves in others. Our identity extends beyond our individual boundary and embraces the collective, through a free and conscious act of identification, rather than through definition by convention or external authority.
Simply, if it can actually be simply defined, we’re connected. You can use the power of the collective conscious to bring more into your life.

You’re familiar, I’m sure, with many rags to riches stories. The story of Chris Gardner for example, he is the self-made millionaire, entrepreneur, motivational speaker and philanthropist who, during the early 1980s, struggled with homelessness while raising his young son. He surrounded himself with mentors, people whose goals were the same as his, people who were focused on success in the same industry – stock brokers.
It’s just one of thousands of success stories. It goes beyond mentorship thought that is certainly part of it. Our lives are directly affected on a deep level by the people we surround ourselves with.

You want to be more artistic – go live in an artistic community – Paris for example - and surround yourself with people who inspire you artistically.
You want a laid back lifestyle where money is secondary to the lure of the sun, sand and sea? Go to Jamaica, Costa Rica, and Fiji.
You want to become a novelist, surround yourself with writers.
You want to become a wealthy business owner? Surround yourself with wealthy business owners.

It’s about more than learning from the masters. It’s about tapping into the collective consciousness of such an environment and utilizing it to create your vision of your future. To create the success and prosperity you desire.

Step One :
Determine what it is you desire. If it is wealth and prosperity in the software development industry then write it down. Create a vision statement so you’re 100% clear on what you’re setting your sights on. What you’re striving for. Place that vision statement somewhere accessible, somewhere you can see it every day.

Step Two :
Ask yourself if you’re surrounded by the right people? Now this isn’t an invitation to leave the life as you know it behind. It’s merely a time to assess your present situation. Is there anyone in your life who is a negative force? Someone who is constantly telling you, your dreams are impossible? You can’t do it? Now may be the time to ask that person to support you.
Likewise who are the positive forces in your life? The people who are supporting you and want to see you succeed? Make a point of telling those who do support you ‘thank you’ and spend more time with them.

Step Three :
Make a list of people who are successful in your industry or relevant industries – meaning they’re not competition. Try to list at least 20 people you’d like to talk with, have coffee with, and do business with. Don’t set limits. If Bill Gates is on your list then great! If you’re aspiring to get into a sports industry and you’d love to chat with Peyton Manning then put him on your list. If you aspire to open a thriving home organization business then by all means put Martha Stewart on the list!

Step Four :
Gather the contact information for the people on your list and create a schedule for connecting with them. For example, if Bill Gates is on your list then find out how to contact him and set a date to contact him. Simply let him know you’d like five minutes of his time to learn the secret to his success.

Step Five :
Surround yourself with people who are on the same path you are. This means participating, or even forming, mastermind groups. Finding a mentor or a coach who is dedicated to your success. Simply put – put yourself on the path to success by engaging the help of others.

Step Six :
Read. Inspiration comes in many forms. Reading about the success and the path to success for people both in your industry and outside your industry will not only help you stay focused on your goals, it will also inspire you to reach perhaps beyond your goals. Reading about the lives, successes and failures of others, will show you perhaps a different way of doing things. It will give you compassion and understanding, for others and for yourself, and it will move you to pursue your dreams. Of course you have to choose the right books to read, you don’t want to read something that brings you down or has the effect of squashing your dreams. Try the four hour work week by Tim Ferris if you want an enjoyable read and insight from someone who definitely thinks outside the box.

Step Seven :
Stop planning and start acting. Action speaks louder than words – this is true both with personal relationships and with the universe. When you start taking active steps to achieve your goals, the collective consciousness helps you remain active. You can simply by your actions start changing the collective consciousness around you. That means you can not only change your life – you can influence the lives of others around you. Pretty powerful stuff!
Still doubting the power of the collective conscious? Think about the current mood on the state of the economy. It’s gloom and doom and the mood is spreading faster than dandelions on a summer lawn. Even people who are relatively unaffected are feeling poorly about the state of the economy. The collective consciousness is that the economy is bad and we’re all suffering, even if we’re not.

The converse can be true and you can take part in a collective consciousness that has hope, sees opportunity and refuses to participate in that line of thought.
Wealth and prosperity are still very real opportunities. Take advantage of the people out there who support you, who believe that wealth and prosperity are possible, and who inspire you to realize your dreams. Find or create your own collective consciousness and let it lead you to your goals.

To Your Success!

How to Profit During a Recession

How to Profit During a Recession

By: Jeremy Gislason
Is It Possible To Profit In An Economic Downturn?
“You define abundance. You decide whether or not to shrink or expand. You choose whether or not to participate in this line of thinking. This is wealth.”
Christine Kane
Recession? Seriously?

Okay, fine. The market is having some troubles. What do you do? Do you cower in fear, doubt, and uncertainly like the masses or do you…please forgive me for the cliché; do you make lemonade from lemons?

It’s true. Right now we’re living in some pretty uncertain times financially speaking. However, there’s always opportunity. The online world is still thriving. In fact, it’s growing. The self help and home based business is booming! The investment market is actually thriving – people are anxious to learn how to invest their money, protect their money, and still live the same quality of life they’re used to.

Warren Buffet just invested 5 billion into Goldman Sachs. Of course he had 5 billion to invest in the first place but this is a guy who isn’t casual with his money. And he just invested 5 billion in what many would consider the most unstable sector in the world.
Why?

He sees an opportunity.
It’s what successful entrepreneurs do.
Successful entrepreneurs are typically risk takers. Not blind risk takers who jump into a pool of hungry sharks without looking first.
Instead, they spend a bit of time evaluating the risk and then deciding whether it’s worth jumping in. That doesn’t mean that every single light is green and it’s 100% okay to make the jump, or investment. But it means they know what they’re getting into. They understand the risks.

Along with understanding the risks, successful entrepreneurs understand, and look for, opportunity.
Think about Amazon, Paypal, and even the folks over at MySpace. They saw a potential opportunity and took some very big risks – boy did they pay off.
Despite what the mainstream media will have you believe – those opportunities are still available. The only difference between five years ago and today is the collective consciousness – if the media is telling everyone that the economy is good and invest, invest, invest – the collective buys into it and boom – everyone and their brother are taking huge risks with the comfort that the financial guru they saw on CNN the other night said it was a good thing to do – the economy is great.

Now the same financial guru is telling everyone to buckle down. Save money, don’t spend. Hold tight to your investments. Don’t take any risks.
And the collective conscious believes it. They hold tight to their money.
The result…missed opportunity.
Assuming you do your homework, analyze the market, and understand the risks – the risks are the same as it was 5 years ago. The opportunities are the same.
What is required to recognize and take advantage of these opportunities?

A good attitude is a must.

A good attitude means you’ve established the desire to be wealthy. Now that may sound very simplistic. Everyone wants to be wealthy, right? No, not really. Some people are quite content at their current income level what ever it may be.
And many of those who do desire great riches let other desires, beliefs and myths about money get in the way. Napoleon Hill outlined six steps to achieving Desire as it relates to attaining wealth. They are:

1. Fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire. (This is very much part of the visualization and goal setting process and is critical to success) At first you may think, “Oh okay, I want a million dollars.” Then you’ll think, “No, this is a visualization exercise, right? How about six million dollars?” Then the doubts will start to enter your mind and you may drop down to $100,000. The goal here is to let go of those limiting beliefs. If you want six million then fix that amount in your mind. perhaps you need to do a little bit of thinking, meditating, or even planning on how much money you want. That’s fine. Take your time. It’s important that you’re comfortable with the number you’re seeking.
2. Determine exactly what you are willing to give in return for the money you desire. It’s the old you don’t get something for nothing philosophy. This is actually a great way to help let go of your limiting beliefs about money particularly if they relate to money being inherently bad. What would you do if you achieved the monetary goals you’ve set forth? Will you donate a specific amount to charity each year? Will you volunteer your time? Will you employ people and offer a great salary and benefits package? What are you willing to put out there?
3. Establish a specific date for receiving or earning the money goal you’ve established. Tomorrow, right? You’d like that six million dollars tomorrow, please. Okay, now step back and consider what may be more reasonable. Not too reasonable mind you, you probably don’t want to set your goal 20 years in the future however 12 months isn’t unreasonable is it? Neither is six months, or even three.
4. Carry out a plan to begin – Mr. Hill recommends taking action whether you are ready or not. You can’t spend your life planning, it’ll just pass you by. So how are you going to make this money? What’s going to happen or change in your life to make it happen? Are you going to write the next Harry Potter? Are you going to develop a software product or game that sells out all over the world? What skills, talents, and knowledge do you have, or you have access to, to make it happen?
5. Create a written statement for the first four actions described above and then read it aloud twice a day. Once when you’ve just woken up and once before you go to bed. This process as it was laid out by Napoleon Hill in 1937 and supported by wealth coaches, personal coaches, professional coaches and mentors all around the world, may seem a bit simplistic at first glance. However, upon implementing it you will see it has a very powerful effect on not only your attitude but your motivation as well.

Visualization is a technique that successful people in all walks of life utilize to improve and to achieve their desired results. It doesn’t matter if you’re a stay at home parent who aspires to build a six figure business or an Olympic athlete – visualization and establishing a desire to achieve are a necessary first step to real success and wealth.
An economic downturn matters. Of course it does. However, where there’s the desire to succeed, where there’s openness to success, wealth, and the power of opportunity, there’s a real chance to profit – desire is the first step.

To Your Success!

10 tips to working from home more productive

10 tips to working from home more productive
By Jeremy Gislason

Working from home is great thing, no doubt about it, You can wear what you want, Keep you own hours, Eat and drink when you want, Surf the net without feeling like your boss is going to bust you. You don’t have to worry about commuting and all of the stress associated with bumper to bumper traffic. No annoying bosses to deal with anymore and you can take breaks when it suits you. In short, you control your own destiny.

All of those things are fantastic pros to owning your own business and working from home, however, there is a dark side. There is the tendency to get sidetracked from the work that generates a profit and puts food on your table to the work you would maybe rather do at the moment yard, work on your car, or ugh…do the laundry.

There is also the tendency to lose track on time researching for your business or taking care of tasks that maybe better suited for a different time or even handled by different person. All of these side tracks , and many more will take away from your daily productivity and essentially end up affecting your bottom line.

Here are 10 tips to help you stay on track and heading toward the profits you desire and deserve.

1. Organize everything, having a system in place for your business, your home office, and your work time is essential to remain focused and productive. Develop a system of organizing your office file and your computer files, Make sure there is place for everything including the stuff you got in the mail today, Some common the file categories are.:
• Expenses,
• Bank Accounts,
• Receipts,
• Costumer Files,
• Contract,
• Payables,
• Receivables,
• Taxes,
• Business entity documentation,
• Marketing,
• Copy writing ideas.

2. Plan. Some people are planners and others are doers, to be successful business owner, you have to be both. You have to plan it and then you have to do it. Plan your business, plan your year, plan your month, plan your week, plan your day, Task lists and project management system are great tools for the day to day, month bay month type planning. For longer range annual planning you will want to go back to your business plan and reviews, revise, and reassess it annually. Goals are much easier achieved if you set out plan to achieve them. This includes the small daily goals like calling that contact about new joint venture idea you have. I’m sure you have already heard this, but good goals are measurable, relevant, timely , and attainable.

3. To do Lists, to do lists or task list as we talked about in #2 are essential to keep you on task and focused on your organized and they help you prioritize your day, if you’re like me, then they help to motivate you too. There’s something satisfying about crossing an item off your task list, and conversely something terrifying about watching that task list grow and grow while doing nothing to shorten it and keep it under control.

4. Automate what you can, One of the fantastic thing about working from home and owning an online business is that there are so many wonderful tools available to help make our lives easier. There are auto responders and electronic shopping carts, Web tracking statistics and article submission software programs. Heck, there are even task list programs that will email you your task list for day. Automating certain tasks will help take the burden off of your shoulders and free up your time to spend on more important tasks.

5. Keep Real hours, one of the pitfalls of working from home is the tendency to work 12 hours a day, I know you’re thinking no way, I wouldn’t do that, but it happens and your friends, family, and even your pets suffer the consequences. You do too, All work and no play makes … well you know the rest, even if you LOVE your job, it is important to step away from it. Keep real hour, 9,5 8,-4 its doesn’t matter. DO whatever works best for you and your business but when it comes time to clock out and eat dinner with your family, do it , work isn’t going anywhere but your family is,

6. Let it go. This goes back to #5. when the horn blows and it’s time to turn off the computer and go to your child’s choir concert, be there with them in the moment. If you mind is at home thinking about the task you didn’t quite finish or the project you’re starting tomorrow, you’re not truly with your child.

7. Track your hours, Tracking the hours you work and the time it takes to accomplish certain tasks can be an eye opening experience, You may find that the copy writing you thing is only taking you an hour a day is actually taking you two. You may also find that your administrative task are tasking significantly less time that you thought they were or that answering emails consumes half of your day. Tracking your time is essential if you want to later determine the value of it.

8. Plan your admin time, Use the time of day that you are most productive for the task that are important to your business You can easily handle your administrative tasks during the time of the day when you’re unable to focus as well or are likely to have more interruptions.

9. Outsource what you can, since there are only 24 hours in day and 5 days in a working week, it may not be possible to get everything done. If you can fit it into your budget to outsource some of the more time consuming, and less appealing task, it may be worth you while to do so. Particularly if you time would be better spent on task that generate revenue.

10. Identify your time stealers, everyone has time stealers, some get easily distracted by email, others find themselves spending too much time networking online or researching. You likely know what you time stealers are, if you don’t track what you do during the work day and how much time you spend doing it, the results will be interesting. Once you know where you’re losing time, you can take measure to eliminate it. For example, if email is stealing your time, schedule checking your email into your tasks list in morning, at lunch and near the end of the day. That way you’re not responding to every new email in your inbox. Working from home is a joy but it takes a bit of structure and discipline if you want to be guide lines, you’ll be well on your way to a productive, and profitable future.

Does Affiliate Marketing Really Make Money?

Does Affiliate Marketing Really Make Money?

By : Mohit Bansal

It seems that one of the most popular ways for people to make money on the internet is through affiliate programs. Understanding what these are and how they work is key to making money with affiliate marketing.

An affiliate program is a program that many companies have that they offer to people as a way to make money, without being employed by the company.

All types of companies have affiliate programs, and the purpose of the program is get "free" advertising done by their affiliates.

The affiliates are people like you and me that sign up for the program that the company has to offer and we go out and promote their product, usually you are given a special link with your "ID" at the end.

This is free advertising for the company because they are not paying for the advertising that you are doing. What the company pays is a percentage of sale that you create.

When you sign up for an affiliate program you are given a special link with your code at the end. There are some affiliate programs that actually give you a webpage and a back office to use to help you promote their product.

You go out and promote your site, or you add your link to you're the signature of your emails or you promote the product on your own site. Usually with the link, most companies will provide you with banner ads that you can also cut and past into your site.

The way you are paid is by generating a sale. So promoting and marketing is really up to you. The more you promote, the more traffic you can get, the more sales you will have.

With each sale you are paid a percentage of the sale. There isn't a set minimum of maximum, the percentage amount is set by each individual company. Some are more generous then others.

Joining an affiliate program is really quite easy. You can do a simple internet search of "affiliate programs" or you can look at your favorite sites on the net and see if they offer an affiliate program. Then you simply fill out the form they have, confirm your email and you are an affiliate.

The tips to improve your results with an affiliate program are rather simple in and of themselves.

First, I highly recommend signing up for an affiliate program that promotes a product that you have used, or that you know about.

The last thing in the world you want to do is promote a product that... well... sucks. Your future customers aren't going to remember the product as much as the fact the will remember that you told them to get something that didn't work.

Second, if the program offers a site, create your own. Make sure that you check with the rules of the program to make sure you are able to create and promote your own site with their information. I say this because if they are offering you a site, they are offering that site to every affiliate they have. The search engines are pretty smart these days, and they are really good at getting rid of duplicate content sites.

Finally, my third tip is promote yourself more then you promote the product. This is called self branding. If you want to build a strong, solid client base then you have to sell your reputation to them.

The products that you are going to promote are going to change over time you will still be you. So take pride in who you are and what you have to offer and only offer your customers the best.

Affiliate Marketing With Google Adwords

Affiliate Marketing With Google Adwords

Google Adwords by Thingom Kenedy

The quickest way to generate targeted traffic and start earning commissions with an affiliate marketing business is to use google adwords. One doesn't even need a website of their own to make money online using adwords. Traffic can be sent directly to an affiliate link. Even though this is the easiest way to make money online I recommend those who advertise on google send traffic to their own website first for a couple of reasons. First of all traffic sent to a information pre sell site tends to provide much higher sales conversions than just using direct affiliate links.

Secondly google has recently tightened its quality scoring of websites making the cost per click skyrocket for many who were sending traffic to direct links. This has priced many affiliate marketers out of using adwords and is widely known as the "google slap". I've found a good way to improve quality scores and lower cost per click is to write topical blogs and send adwords traffic to them. The blogs can have the affiliate links included in the text. For best results the text links should be the same or related to the keywords bidded on in an adwords campaign.

A critical part of adwords success is the ad itself. The ad needs to have a high clickthrough rate to recieve a lower cost per click. An ad should have keywords that the advertiser is bidding on included in the title. Many ads should be created and tested.

The ads that have low clickthrough rates meaning usually below 1 percent should be deleted. One technique that can be used is dynamic keyword insertion. With dynamic keyword insertion google will put the keywords in the title of an ad automatically. To use dynamic keyword insertion in place of the title one must put {keyword:default}. In place of default a keyword or phrase should be used in case a keyword phrase bidded on is too long for google to automatically insert the keyword.

Keywords are another important consideration in using google adwords. The better keywords to bid on are usually specific lower traffic words rather than the higher traffic general terms. For example a keyword like "music" will not convert to sales as well as words like specific songs or artists names. The more closely the keywords are related to the topic of the website the better. Just like ads underperforming keywords with low clickthrough rates should also be deleted and new keywords periodically tested.

Where many go wrong with adwords is they set up an ad campaign and never go back to make changes. In order to be successful using adwords an affiliate marketer must continually make adjustments to fine tune their campaigns. This means they must constantly be testing new ads and keywords and deleting underperformers. If one does this consistently an adwords campaign is likely to cost much less and be more profitable.
