Lesson 2: It’s not all about the money

Saturday, January 31st, 2009

When asked, most people will tell you that the reason for starting a business is to make money. But money by itself is not what motivates us – it’s what we can get with the money that we care about. If I was to tell you that I will give you a million dollars with the condition that you will be living alone on an island, would you take the money? I think not… The money by itself has no meaning. The money is only a means to an end.

I am not going to give you a million dollars but I am going to give you a million dollar advice. Get in touch with your desires, your dreams, your goals and your ambitions. Unveil them – blow the dust off those old childhood dreams, reconnect to the desires of your inner child. Allow yourself to picture your life as you would wish it to be 10 years from now. Make this mental picture as detailed as you can. Paint it in full vibrant colors. What would it smell like? What would it feel like to be you, then? Feel the peace of mind, the joy, the happiness, and the fulfillment…

Work on your goals, every day! Make it your north star, the lighthouse that shines from a far and guides you to your destination. Now, imagine what your life would be like 5 years from now… Pick a significant date (your birthday or the birthday of a loved one is a good date) a year from now. What would your life be like at that date? How much of your goals will you fulfill? How about 6 months from now… and 3 months… and one month… See yourself making the journey from where you are now towards reaching your goals. Define your milestones and create a plan for reaching them.

The goals are what drive us, what motivate us to work hard. The money is what enables us to make our dreams come true and the business is what enables us to make the money needed for that. There is no beating around the bush on that point: money is a powerful and needed tool. So, lets talk a bit about money. I would like to share with you what I’ve learned when I was working on my business. I was telling everyone how I wanted to make all that money and create wealth in my life. But when it came down to doing what is needed, I felt that something was holding me back. It took me some time to figure it out and to work it out with myself.

Growing up, as a child, I never knew anyone who was making a lot of money. Not personally, any way. I was told that: “money does not grow on trees”. “You have to work hard for your money and save it for a rainy day”. “You need to get education and find a good steady job in a large corporation”. “Money corrupts”. “Rich people are selfish, insensitive, bad people that take advantage of other people”. So many negative paradigms about money were imprinted on my young mind, no wonder I had to work hard to be free of them. I don’t blame anyone for teaching me that. They did not know any better – they were brought up the same way.

I’ve learned that money is just money, it has no moral value, good or bad. People that make money are just people that are free of those paradigms. The fact that they have money or make a lot of it does not make them bad people. The mindset of a wealthy person is a mindset of abundance, of giving what you want to receive. You probably have heard by now about the law of attraction. Simply put it works like this: if you want things to appear in your life, you need to imagine them already being there. Act, think and feel as if you already have it. Give to others what you want to receive for yourself. Think positive, talk positive and focus on what you want and not on what you don’t want.

A good business – a business that makes you money and makes you feel good about yourself – is a business that help other people get what they want. If you are selling something, make a personal connection with the people you are selling it to. Learn what they need and want and offer them a solution. If you are recruiting people to join you in your business – make it your mission to help them succeed and your success will follow.

In part 3, titled: “What is my business going to be all about?”, I will be talking about the types of mechanisms you have to choose from if you want to have your income flavored passive, residual or leveraged.

Free SEO and other Software Tools

Saturday, January 24th, 2009

OK, so I’m not a SEO expert… Which is why I’ve been spending a lot of time at Free Web Tools lately.

SEO experts Charles Kirkland and Jeff Alderson have created SEO software that helps you nab the top spots on Google. Charles and Jeff are letting me invite a select number of people to join Free Web Tools.

Here’s what you get:

  • Blog Link Finder – Shows you the blogs with no follow tags and the best page ranks in any niche. You no longer have to manually hunt for blogs to leave comments on.
  • Affiliate Promo Page Generator – If you want affiliates to promote your product you need to give them the tools. This generator creates an affiliate page for you and gives you templates for promotional tools like text ads, articles, email ads and more.
  • Link Popularity Checker – This cool tool lets you spy on your competitors. Also keeps track of your SEO and link building efforts

The point of this software is to help you optimize your site even if your site has never seen page one of Google.  You don’t have to have the prettiest site or the most unique product.  You just need access to the best tools that will get your top rankings for all your keywords and all the free targeted traffic you could want.

Get your FREE Software HERE

Now, you don’t just need traffic. You need affiliates to promote your product too.  Affiliates will send highly targeted traffic to your site but only if you provide them with the tools they need to promote your product.

When I check out an affiliate product and see that they provide no affiliate resources whatsoever I usually can’t be bothered to promote them.

This is why Free Web Tools gives you software that automatically generates a resource page for affiliates and templates for all the promo materials they need. It even automatically embeds your affiliates’ code into the materials. Pretty slick.

Get your FREE Software HERE

Writing comments on blogs is a great way to build backlinks and increase traffic to your site.  But it’s so much work to manually find the right blogs.

So you’ll also get software that does this work for you.

At a glance you’ll see the sites that are worthy of your time and get all the relevant data about those sites at a glance.

Get your FREE Software HERE

There is no cost to you whatsoever so you really owe it to yourself to go explore this site for yourself and see how it can help you grow your business.

NOTE:  You will also get Giveaway Rights to this software. Use this to increase opt-ins to your list or mail to your current subscribers.

Lesson 1: Choose your type of income

Friday, January 23rd, 2009

Congratulations, You have chosen to start a home-based business. I’m sure you are both excited and a little anxious. I know I was when I’ve started my home-based business. It was all new to me (even though I was self-employed for many years) and new unknown paths tend to make me feel that way. Don’t get me wrong – it’s a great feeling and it motivated me to learn and act. I hope you feel that way too.

The Greek philosopher Epictetus said: “One cannot learn when one thinks he already knows”. I urge you to keep an open mind and avoid the trap of assuming you already know. The human mind need to match everything it encounters to known patterns. It gives us a sense of security but at the same time prevents us from being open to new ideas.

There is another topic I would like to talk about, and that is: choices. I have learned that everything I do in life is about making choices: starting with what to eat at breakfast and going all the way to questions of life and death. It’s all choices. I do not “need” to do anything – I “choose” to. I am not made to feel or react a certain way – I choose to. The great thing about choices is that I can always make new ones. If and when I get the feeling that I need a change – I allow myself to stop and re-think the choices I’ve made. Choices of the past are nothing but choices – I can always make new ones.

OK – lets get down to it. You are probably asking yourself – “now that I’ve decided to start a home-based business, what will my next step be?”. Great question! And I have an answer for you: “choose your type of income”. Yes, I believe, that should be your next step. Even before you decide what your business is going to be all about. The type of income you are going to choose will not only effect your earnings – it will have an impact on every aspect of your life from now on. Pretty huge deal, is it not?

There are 4 basic types of income for you to choose from. There is no “Better” or “worse” way to earn a living – it’s a matter of choice. You will make that choice based on what feels right for you.

1) Linear Income: This is where there is a direct correlation between your time and your income – they are directly connected. In other words, you are trading your time for money. You work 8 hours – you get paid for 8 hours. You don’t work – you don’t get paid. For example: A job (working for somebody else) or a small business in which You-Must-Be-There in order for it to operate.

2) Residual Income: This is income that you gain by doing something correctly once, and then reaping the financial profits over and over again without any further effort on your part. For example: royalties, a percentage of a previously sold product that has a re-occurring income (e.g. insurance, a monthly membership or subscriptions). Also being involved in a legitimate network-marketing program is a proven method that many have used for building a solid residual income.

3) Leveraged Income: Income that you gain in conjunction with the combined efforts of others. For example: a team, sub-affiliates in your affiliate programs, downline income, or your employees if you own a big business and employ others to generate income towards your bottom line. Here is another way to understand leveraged income. Picture this: You – multiplied over and over again and each one of you is making you more money. That’s the Power of leveraged income – it’s greater than you alone – it multiplies your efforts!

J Paul Getty said it best: “I will rather earn from 1% of 100 peoples effort than from 100% of my own effort”.

4) Passive Income: Any type of income that doesn’t require your time (or very little of it) in order to sustain. For example: Investments, high interest bearing accounts, legitimate network marketing, product developed and sold through automated system, your own affiliate program managed by a third party such as ClickBank, Share-A-Sale, or other. Residual income also falls in this category. Passive & Residual Income is oftentimes used interchangeably although they differ slightly.

OK, now that you have an idea of the different types of income, what will your choice be? Will you choose to work for every dollar that you make or will you prefer to create a mechanism that (once created) earn you the money? I don’t know about you but I have chosen to get out of the rat race and create that mechanism.

In lesson 3, I will talk about the types of mechanisms you have to choose from if you want to have your income flavored passive, residual or leveraged. But before we continue our quest, I would like to address a slightly seem to be off-track issue. Stay tuned for lesson 2: “it’s not all about the money…”.
