“If You Want To Feel Rich, Just Count The Things You Have That Money Can’t Buy.”

One of the most important lessons I learnt early on in my life as a apprentice is that can’t necessaily fully understand the richness of a persons life by the car they drive or the size of the house that they live in.
You will NEVER hear me referring to “rich people” or “poor people” as far as I am concerned there’s no such thing nor should you be ever judgemental on any person you meet. What I will tell you is that there is a tremendous difference between people who “think rich” and people who “think poor”.

“Rich thinkers”will be rich regardless of the current size of their bank balance – they will always be looking for possibilities and living life on thier terms. If they are temporarily low on cash , they won’t be for long and they always seem to find a way to do exactly what they want to do with thier lives.

“Poor thinkers” are the complete opposite without trying to state the obvious but on the surface appear the same with flash cars , large houses and flash clothes, but thier heads are filled with fears and mistrust of those around them. Because they don’t know that they will be allright even if all thier money dissapeared, they are forced to continually try to protect what they have or grab more from others. The fear of losing anthing slows them to a tortoise crawl in growing and moving forward.

You have to realise that you can’t win everything , be prepared to lose a little as every failure is merely a stumbling block and will be a measure of your ultimate success.

Understand that making money is nether a mysterious process nor a cosmic reward – it is just a skill, like sailing a boat or riding a bike. Imagine if Richard Branson lost all of his money overnight do you think he would take a regular job……Naah not a chance buster ! You better bet your last dollar that he’d have it back in a very short space of time…..How ?

It’s simple ….there is nothing you can do to take away his ability to think rich and make money as a direct result !

This is the first key to your success -acknwoledge that your riches are not in some far off place, but they are waiting for you to find them inside your mind , wherever you are reading this article ! And you are willing to step out of your comfort zone in search of the answers then it’s useful to begin with a clear understanding of the territory you’re about to explore.

I’ll give you a few answers in my next post titiled ” It’s all in yer head pal!”

When you are starting out online never forget that you are starting out in exactly the same position as when any of the “Guru’s” headed off on their path to successs……and that is with nothing! Your subscribers will opt in one by one,it is the same for all of us!

Always admire people who are more successful than you as success is achieved far faster by using association….allow me to explain!

Because one of the minds primary functions is to prove itself right. According to social psychologist Leon Festinger, the state of trying to hold two inconsistent ideas, beliefs or opinions( known as ‘cognitive dissonance’ is so uncomfortable that people will unconsciously seek to reduce  the conflict by changing one or both of these ideas so that it will fit together better.

In other words, your mind wants to stay consistent to whatever you have previously said or demonstrated you believe to be true. You can’t become rich or succesful if you are constantly slagging rich or successful people off!- your mind won’t stand for it. Similary, you can’t sit around resenting confident, succesful people and be suprised that your mind doesn’t want to join them.

Sadly my Grandma died a few years ago and although she is sadly missed even today I always smile to myself when I hear the phrase “Birds of a Feather Flock Together !” for I fully understand what old “Gwenie” was talking about ….even at 79 ! I suppose you are always wiser after the event so to speak!

So if there is a part of you that really wants to be more confident and successful but another thats not so sure remmember ……success by association, practice this technique, you will find it easier and easier to ressolve any internal conflict in this way and you will become focused like a laser beam ……on building that list !

Making 6 Figures Online – What’s Stopping You?

By now, everyone is aware that there are people out there making money online  – lots and lots of money.  But what you may not know is HOW people are making money.  The answer is one simple word: information.

Every year, billions of dollars are spent on information products.

So many of us grew up in a brick and mortar world.  We just can’t wrap our heads around the idea that it’s possible to earn a good living – a VERY good living – by selling digital products on the Internet.  If we think of going into business for ourselves, we still think in terms of opening a shop, paying rent, stocking the shelves and waiting for the customers to appear.  But the world has changed.  In modern times, customers visit your virtual shop and download your product.

So did you miss the boat?  Is the market already saturated?

It’s a very large pie, and there’s plenty of room.  Why?  Because the market is the entire world – hundreds of millions of people are potential customers.

Now you’ve wrapped your head around the idea that you, too, could make money in the digital world.  So what’s stopping you?  Excuses, excuses, excuses.

Excuse #1 – I HAVEN’T GOT THE TIME

For one thing, you may have a full time job.  Your schedule is completely stuffed, from the moment you wake up until the moment you go to sleep.  Or is it?

Imagine if you were able to FIND time that you didn’t even know you had.  If it’s important to you, you’ll do it.  Start looking at how you spend the hours.

When you have a boring or demeaning job, you may find yourself filling your spare time watching something mindless on TV.  It’s soothing, almost like an anesthetic.  In fact, the more idiotic the show, the more it takes your mind off your unhappiness.  Most people spend a couple of hours each day watching TV.  Could you cut that time in half?

Now — what if you took that hour and put it into something that would really SOLVE your problem?  Instead of needing an escape from reality, you could build a life for yourself that is so exciting that you’d never WANT to escape.

Congratulations!  You just found an hour a day you didn’t know you had.  In one workweek, you’ve located 5 hours you could be putting towards your new career.

That adds up to 20 hours a month.

With 20 hours a month, you could leverage yourself into a new business that eventually replaces the income from your boring job.

Excuse #2 – I HAVEN’T GOT THE MONEY

It used to be that you had to have money to go into business.  In fact, the major cause of business failure in the brick and mortar world was under-capitalization.  What if you knew that you could start selling products for less than 100 dollars, would you still hesitate?

The modern era presents an opportunity like no other.  Because at no time in history would you have been able to start a business and reach hundreds of millions of people in a world wide market with such small start up costs.

Excuse #3 – I HAVEN’T GOT THE KNOWLEDGE

You tell yourself that you’ll never succeed because you don’t have the know-how.  The word eBook may be new to you.  The idea of creating a website may seem impossible. But all you need to jump-start your new career is an Internet connection. Once you have that, you can find the knowledge you need. It’s out there, a whole world just waiting for you.

Step on board, learn the ropes, and soon you’ll be part of a wave of marketers with inside knowledge of how it all works.  That knowledge is in demand.

The biggest mistake small business owners make is creating a product and then trying to find a market for it.  But savvy Internet marketers know that you find out where the demand is, and THEN you create a product that fills that demand.

The demand for knowledge about making money online is huge!  It’s the most popular search term on the Internet today.

NO RISK

And the greatest thing of all is – you don’t have to quit your day job to try it out.  You can put your toe in the water with very little cash outlay, using time that you would have wasted anyway.  You can start small, and before you know it, you’ve got an automated income that’s growing all the time.

Opportunity is knocking, and the only thing stopping you is… YOU!

Hope you find this to be inspiring and remember:

If you change nothing in your life then nothing will change!

From me and mine in Yorkshire, to thee and thine wherever you may be – we wish you all the success in the world!

I’m sorry – was I interrupting something important?  Did you need to get back to watching that dumb TV show?
