One of the biggest obstacles I’m seeing in the Online Marketing Industry is simple: Mindset. If your Mindset is holding you back, I can help you.

I used to struggle with a poor mindset. Not poor in financial means, but poor as in bad. Over the past year, I have worked greatly on my mindset and I am now a completely different person than I was before. I am much stronger, confident, outgoing, etc… This is not to say I don’t have anything left to conquer… Working with your mindset is a lifetime task.

You are constantly presented with ideas, which in turn, turn into your beliefs. Your beliefs rule your mindset, and thus, you yourself. But, I have good news. If you don’t like how you are, there is hope. You can change your mindset, and in doing so, change yourself.

I’ve often heard it said, if you don’t like how something is, wait five minutes and it will change. I’ve usually heard it applied to the weather in certain cities. But this is true of anything. What you feed yourself mentally determines how you see things.

I’ve seen countless case studies of how belief shapes a person. For example, a student believes they are bad at math and they just don’t get it. The student’s poor grades “confirm” that fact. In essence, however, they have led themselves to believe that they are bad in math, and therefore, the reflective grades only “prove” to the student that they were right.

I’ve heard this compared to being hypnotized, in that a hypnotist plants a certain suggestion in the subject and convinces him that it is true. Once the subject “believes” that whatever it is, is true, it happens. Such as in the case of a weight lifter being told that he absolutely could not lift a pencil off of a desk, when normally he could lift over 400 pounds over his head.

When we feed ourselves thoughts and ideas every day that we can or can not do something, our mind kicks into gear in order to make those thoughts and ideas true.

So, I have to ask you. Is your mindset holding you back? Is there some thought or idea there that you can’t do something? If so, let’s try for the next 21 days to re-program your mindset. Reverse those negative limiting beliefs into positive beliefs. Is there something you want to do, but think you can’t? Tell yourself you can. Convince yourself in your mind that you can do that. Visualize yourself doing what you have been wanting to do at night before you go to bed, in the morning as you wake up, and as many times during the day that you can. Visualize your goal and try not to just see it, but hear it, smell it, taste it, and touch it. When you involve all of your senses, it makes the experience much more vivid and memorable.

If you can do this for the next 21 days, I’m certain that whatever your limiting belief was, will be just a distant memory, and a new you will have emerged, doing and being the person you want to be. It starts with you. Shed the negative limiting beliefs and stand tall with your new image of yourself. I believe in you. You should believe in yourself now.

Until next time…

Commitment To Taking Action:
I’m not sure what your situation is, but if you are not committed to taking action and doing the things that need to be done, the things that will move you forward towards your goals, I can assure you, you will fail at whatever you are attempting to accomplish.

Commitment to taking action is especially important when it comes to running your own home based business.  You no longer have a boss breathing down your back, constantly looking over your shoulder, making sure that you are doing the work that you are supposed to be doing.  You are your boss.  Hopefully, you are a good one and you keep yourself on track.

When it seems like things aren’t working, don’t give up.  Just step back and reassess where you are and where you want to be.  Keep going after it, never loose your dream.

The moment you think about quitting, I want you to think about something.  In Napoleon Hill’s book, Think and Grow Rich, there is a story about a Prospector who is digging around and finds some gold.  After digging a little more, he finds a couple more nuggests.  He sets up a mine and continues to dig, but no more gold is found.  Finally, after years of digging with no success, he gives up, quits, and sells the mine, only to find out that he was only 3 feet away from the gold from the point he started, he had just been digging in the wrong direction.  Think about how far away you could be from your gold.  Do you still want to quit?

Commitment To Self Mastery
Successful leaders have a commitment to self mastery.  They let their flesh know who’s in charge.  Look for ways to say no to yourself every day.  If you do, you’ll be able to do it when it really counts.  Zero in on the undiciplined areas of your life that you excuse or postpone dealing with.  Everything may be permissable to you, but not everything is beneficial.  If in doubt, ask yourself if it is beneficial to do whatever you are thinking about.  How many times do you say to yourself “I know I need to change, I will tomorrow”?

You have the right to spend your time and money how ever you please, but you do not have the right to complain when the law of diminishing returns kicks in and you finish in the poor house.  You have the right to fill your mind with any kind of garbage that you choose.  But understand this, constant exposure to the wrong things will weaken your character, rob you of self respect, and eventually enslave you.  When it comes to replacing bad habits with good ones, only one person is going to make it happen, and that is you.  Your character, the sum total of your every day choices, day by day, what you think, what you choose, and what you do, is what you become.

Stay committed to taking action.  Never give up, keep going after it, and take the actions that need to be taken to move you forward towards your goals.  Be that 3% kind of leader today.

Twitter Tip Of The Day: Are You A Chronic RT’er?

When people go to your profile, do they see a full page of RT’s? This may mean you are a chronic RT’er.

People want to see YOUR original thoughts and ideas too. It’s okay to RT fantastic tweets that mean something to you, but don’t make that the focus of your Tweeting. Make sure to pitch in some of your own ideas and thoughts. Afterall, people are following YOU and they want to get to know YOU.

If you absolutely must RT something someone else has Tweeted, space it out amongst your own unique thoughts and ideas. An easy way to do this is: When you find something you like, copy and paste it into a document (i.e. Word or Notepad) and then throughout the day you can copy and paste them back into your Twitter Feed, or if you use a scheduler to Tweet your Tweets for you (automation is cool) you can sprinkle them in along with your own Tweets. Just make sure your page isn’t filled with a constant line of RT’s, people deserve to know you and what you think.

One last thought to remember: It’s good to connect with others, but help others connect with you by sharing yourself with them through the uniqueness of YOU!

Have a Twitterific Day! =)

Are you honestly making the grade when it comes to running your own home business?

Many times people fail in their online business because of several factors.

The Law Of Attraction
You may believe in the Law of Attraction, but apply it in the wrong fashion.  You might believe that all you have to do now is wish for riches and the riches will come.  But that is not so.  Having the belief that you are already wealthy is good.  But, you need to follow that thought up with an inspired action in order to put into place the building blocks for you to become wealthy.

But My Business Runs On Autopilot
You may believe that you have joined this awesome new program and you have been sold on it because you like the idea that it “runs on autopilot”.  Well, yes, it does run on autopilot.  But!  You must give that autopilot direction before it can drive for you.  You must put into place the advertising to let people know how to find your website first.  Then, once that traffic is being driven to your website, then it’s being driven 24/7 while you sleep, while you’re at the grocery store, while you are at your kid’s soccer game, etc…  But you have to do the initial driving in order to train the “autopilot”.  So, again, you have to take some sort of action in order for your plan to work.

Not Enough Pain
You may not be in a place yet where there is enough pain to make you do what is necessary; therefore, you end up treating your business like a hobby and only working it part time.  However, it may feel like full time to you.  Most of the time, however, if you were to analyze your tasks, you would find that you are not doing the things that will make you money, you are merely staying “busy”.  “Busy” doesn’t cut it.  You have to do the moneymaking activities in order to be successful.

Analyze Your Performance
When running your own home business, you are at the same time, your Boss and your Employee.  Let’s look at your business performance from a Boss’s perspective.  In most companies, there is a probationary period while they evaluate your performance and decide whether you are a liability or an asset to the company.  If you perform well, you usually receive a raise, are taken off probation, and become a full-time employee with all the benefits.  However, if your probationary performance is sub-par, you are either given remedial training and another probationary period to improve, or, in most cases, you are Fired.

Evaluation Time
Take a moment to think about your performance since you joined your company, especially if you have been there at least 60-90 days.  Have you been getting the leads?  Have you been making the sales?  Have you been generating enough leads and making enough sales?  Whatever you decide to grade yourself by.  Do you make the cut?  You are the boss.  You have to decide if you, as the employee, are hired or fired.

In the case of you being your own boss, don’t be so quick to fire yourself and give up.  It has been said many times that most people’s success is right around the corner, but they give up right when they are about to achieve it.  Go the remedial training route and get yourself back in the game.  Just know that you have to take your business seriously now and kick yourself into high gear if you really want to be successful.  Sometimes people just need a quick stiff kick in the butt to get them going.  I hope I’ll see you on the inside.  You can do it!

In today’s economy, the job market is becoming more and more unstable and unreliable. One day you have a job, the next you don’t, and it’s not as easy to get another job, as some would lead you to believe. Sure, you have skills, but these days companies are cutting back, not just on employees but on salaries as well. You have now become highly over skilled, underpaid, and unappreciated. Is that how you wish to continue living your life? I suspect it’s not, as by your presence here, it is proof that you are searching for something else, another way to make a living. So you’ve stumbled upon the world of Internet Marketing and you are wondering what it’s all about, what it is, is it for you, and can you do it?

First, let me start by sharing what Internet Marketing is not. Internet Marketing is not a lottery ticket. No one is going to pull your number and suddenly you are a millionaire. Sorry to burst your bubble, but your riches are not going to come to you instantly. No one can do the work for you. You can’t just sit back and expect it to fall in your lap.

Some who falsely believe in the Law of Attraction believe that all you have to do is “wish” and it will come. Am I saying that the Law of Attraction is false? Absolutely not! I wholeheartedly believe in the Law of Attraction. What I don’t believe is that anything I want will come to me without any effort on my part but a thought. The thought is what puts the energy in motion. From there, it’s up to you to do what it takes to fulfill that thought. The Law of Attraction works by you putting the energy out to the Universe of what you want and the Universe returns to you with an “inspired idea” of what you can do to attain what you desire. But you have to do the work.

So, what is Internet Marketing? Internet Marketing, in a nutshell, is a skillset of advertising whatever you have to offer, whether it be a product or a service. You have to have a way of getting the word out to others that you are here and you have something to offer. There are many methods of Internet Marketing, from Articles like this, to blogging, to the Web 2.0 properties such as Video, Twitter, and Facebook, to banner ads, classifieds, and Google PPC. What is your role in Internet Marketing? Whatever you choose it to be. Pick an area that interests you and master it.

Internet Marketing is work. It is hard work. With anything, you have to work. But it’s the type of work that you do that you have to decide you want to do. Do you want to work and build a future for you and your family? Or do you want to continue to be a slave and work for someone else’s dream?

I recently watched the movie “The Matrix” again. It brought me to an epiphany. I can take the blue pill and go back to sleep and continue to be a slave and work for someone else and what they want, for their dream. Or I can take the red pill and awaken to the possibilities that lie within me. I can free my mind and take control of my own destiny. Neo was asked if he believed in fate. He replied that he did not. He did not like the thought of him not being in control of his own future. He chose to have his mind freed from the Matrix by taking the Red pill. My decision was the same.

So I have to ask you. Do you want to take the Blue pill or the Red pill? Do you wish to go back to sleep and be a slave to society? Or do you want to be awake and free and of value to society? All I offer you is the truth. I can show you the door. But you will have to be the one to open it. Once you open it, however, you can never go back. Your mind will have been freed.

If you are ready to open the door to Internet Marketing, I welcome you on the journey with me. I can show you how you can gain the skills to market anything to anyone anywhere in the world. Internet Marketing is doable, but only if you choose to make it so. You have to have the desire and the passion to make it work. The Internet Marketing vehicle can work for you, but only if you learn to drive it, drive it well, and enjoy driving it.

Which one would you rather have, a quick spot of money, or the ability to generate an income for your entire lifetime? If you would rather get rich quick, I would kindly ask you to close this browser window now and do not let it hit you in your bottom on the way! I have nothing to offer you here.

The get rich quick mentality has to be the laziest of all. Those with the get rich quick mentality want to make lots of money very fast and they do not want to have to work for it. It is like making a wish and poof it is there. I can tell you right now, folks, it just does not happen that way. Think of the old saying: Give a man a fish and he eats for a day, Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime. Now, I do not know about you, but I would rather eat for a lifetime and not have to worry about tomorrow. Do you know what I mean?

Now, being able to generate an income for a lifetime takes work. It takes effort. If you are willing to expend that effort and work for it, your rewards will be worth it. If you think you are entitled to loads of money and do not want to work for it, well, it is not going to work for you either. It is a two way street. If you have the gumption the sky is not even the limit, there are no limits to how successful you can be. It is all up to you. You have the key to the power of your success.

So, how is it that you can learn to generate an income for a lifetime? I have heard that sales are the way to go. If you can learn to sell, and sell anything to anyone anywhere in the world, you have it made. It is important though, to choose your education carefully. Many sites out there now seem to offer you the world when what they deliver is far less.

I like to look for a company that offers training not only in the marketing aspect, but in personal development as well. I have heard it said that your income rarely exceeds your personal development. I believe that to be true. The more work you do on yourself the better value you are to others. I also like to look for a tight community. If it is a faceless company with little to no interaction between its members, then that leaves little interest to me. I would rather know the owners, know the top producers, and know the members.

Communicating with each other allows us to all grow stronger in the pursuit of our goals as we share our passions, our ideas, and our knowledge.

If you are looking to generate an income online, remember to look for a strong company. A company that shows growth, strength, honor, and integrity will stand the test of time and can take you where you want to go.

Do not go looking for a genie in a bottle. Be the genie in the bottle. Make your own success. You have the power in you to succeed right now whether you realize it or not. When you decide to realize it, match yourself with the right opportunity at the right time, you will find the success you seek. Make it happen.

The search for the Golden Egg is ever present. With the economy in the dumpster and the unreliability of “jobs” or Wall Street, people are looking for alternatives. What kind of alternatives? Ones where they can beat the recession, fire their boss, end their long commute, and spend more time with their family. How are they achieving these goals? Home based businesses on the internet.

Work-at-home opportunities are rampant. You can find home biz ads everywhere you look around the internet. How can you make sure that you find the right one for you? Well, here’s some advice on what to look for to find the opportunity that fits you and your family.

When looking into the various internet business opportunities, you must do your research. Find out more about the company and what you’ll be doing to see if it will be a viable solution for you.

Research the company To find out more about the company, you can use a search engine, such as Google. You can Google the company’s name along with ripoff, scam, or review and see if they have a good reputation and to see if you can decipher whether the company you are looking at appears to be legitimate or not. Let common sense prevail, however. A lot of times, reviewers will say that a certain opportunity is a scam or bad deal. But look at what they have to say before you make a decision. In most cases, they are just trying to sell you on their opportunity. If that is the case, not a whole lot of stock can be put into their negative spin on things. They are just trying to win you over to their side.

Find out what you’ll be doing When doing your research, you’ll want to try to find out exactly what you’ll be doing. Will you be placing ads in Pay-Per-Click (PPC)? Selling digital software? Marketing a website? Make sure that whatever it is that you will be doing, that it appeals to you and is concurrent with your morals and values. If it feels shady to do something, like you will be deceiving someone, then don’t do it. The more you find something that appeals to you, that you have a passion about, the more successful you will be at it. Also, you’ll want to make sure it’s not too far out of your skill set. This isn’t to say that someone completely new to a computer can’t tackle an internet home business. You’ll just want to make sure that you have the time and the money to invest into the proper training to bring you up to speed on the skills you will need to survive the internet jungle.

Find out how much money you’ll need up front Many opportunities start out for pennies compared to what it will cost you once you get on the inside. This is not necessarily a bad thing. Just be prepared. If you don’t have a lot to spend, you’ll want to stick with lower operating costs until you get the cash flow to fund the bigger opportunities. One thing to keep in mind as well, is that you get what you pay for. Many times, things that you can purchase for cheap, are just that, cheap. Don’t expect too much. On the other hand, inflated prices are possible too. Use your best judgment. Listen to your instinct. If the opportunity sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

All in all, just make sure you do your research before you plunge head first into anything. Make sure it’s legitimate and has staying power, that it’s something you would enjoy doing or a product that you would enjoy promoting, and that you are aware of what all the opportunity entails.

I wish you the best of luck in your search for your Golden Egg. In the famous words of Star Trek’s Spock, May you live long and prosper!

Mindset is one of the most critical skills you can learn when it comes to becoming successful.  If you don’t have the preconceived belief that you are a successful person, then you are not going to be successful no matter what you do.  You have to believe in yourself first before anyone else will.  I hope to contribute content here to help you develop a positive mindset to become successful in every area in your life, whether it be your personal life or business life.

I am a Networking Mompreneur.  So, for me, it’s both personal and business.  I have heard from just about everyone that I am connected with in network marketing, that Mindset is the number one area that you need to have in place before you can become successful.  I started my path on re-discovering my personal growth prior to my search (again) for an online opportunity to make money from home.  I think it was integral in finding the opportunity that I did.  And because I believe so highly in the Law of Attraction and Mindset, I decided to share my nuggets of knowledge with everyone.

If there is ever an area that you would like me to cover in regards to Mindset or the Law of Attraction, please let me know.  I am here to help others, so would love to know what you think and what you want information on.

May you have a very blessed (by deity of choice) day!  And don’t forget – you are the creator of your day – create a great one!
