What is Happening with 'The Future of Info Marketing'

So what is happening with the Future of info marketing? Its a good and fair question wouldn't you think?
So where would you start looking, who would you ask? I mean surely it could take weeks to get around all the big names in internet marketing right? Well it would be if you had to do all the work on your own, but of course internet marketing and Entrepreneurialism is not mutually solo endeavor now right?
Lets look though at being able to try and get around 72 of the internets best known and most respected marketers and get inside their heads for ten minutes.
What would have to happen? Well there would be contacting all to start with and asking if you would be able to have some of thier time, this could take anywhere from one day to three weeks easily, then of course you have to work in with thier schedule and find a time that suits............. more time. You have to send them the appropriate questions that you would like the answers to so that they can really deliver what it is you despirately want to hear. Again more time!
You have to set up an appropriate platform to record the interview, edit, transcribe, whatever, more time.

Sounds like a lot of trouble right? In this modern society people want the information NOW, so now what?
Well Rob 'the genie Toth' thought that all through and decided that it was important and did it for us all so we did not have too! How good is that? I think it is pretty cool! As such I have managed to get my hand on a a preview of the whole series, and is not going to cost you a thing!!

If you head to The Future of Info Marketing you will be able to get your hands on a copy of it, along with some other pretty cool bonuses.
Go ahead, check it out!

Ever Feel Like your Standing Still?

Hi All,
its been a little while no? What can I say, I have been flat tack, have hardly had a chance to take a breath.
Doing what I hear you all ask? Well expolring the possibilties of the online world, and oh my god, talk about opening pandoras box, you could literally spend every waking moment online and still not even scratch the surface of what is available out there, it is no wonder that there are so many people making great livings online, so whats their secret?
Well as best as I can tell it is the fact that they pick their niche and stick to it, whether it be network marketing, affiliate marketing, peddling home made things, they pick their passion and go with it.
So if my passion is helping people avoid the same mistakes I did, and helping them to grow how can I turn that into and online goldmine? One way is to write an E-Book and provide infomation that way, you can provide the E-Book free and develop and list and then email the people with monthly or weekly tips to help them out, then provide them with other tools that they can purchase through you to help them on their journey.
The means are really only limited by your imagination, and isn't that true of all opportunity.
Who says that you cannot have your cake and eat it too?

You know, and this has been said before, the only thing that seperates the haves from the have nots is the belief that they harbour.
So if you believe you can have it all, you are right.
The same as if;
You believe your destined to fail and spend your life in poverty, you are right.
Get up one more time than you have been knocked down and you will win, PERIOD.

Very short and to the point, BE, DO and you will HAVE

Self-hypnosis towards self improvement

Self hypnosis is a great tool for goal setting and self improvement. Most people are surprised at how easy it is to learn self-hypnosis. And self-hypnosis, in turn, makes a lot of things much easier.

Self hypnosis is usually thought of as a person listening to an audio tape, mp3, or other mass-produced media, intended to induce a willingness to absorb suggestions centered around a specific topic such as weight loss, stop smoking, etc.

Unfortunately, this kind of hypnosis is generally prepared by someone who has never met the person being hypnotized, often presenting unwanted, even unpleasant imagery and suggestions.

For example, if you sunburn easily, that last thing you want to hear about is a slow walk on a sunny beach. In this case, the "self" in self hypnosis simply means that you listen to it by yourself.
How do you incorporate self improvement to hypnosis?

To be able to go about self improvement, there are certain aspects in you that should be addressed. Using hypnosis, the negative aspects that are serving as hindrances to improvement are eliminated.

A true self hypnosis would necessarily be designed and created by the very person who will ultimately use and benefit from it.

Unlike the mass-produced hypnosis, this hypnosis is made for the exact purpose the person wishes, including the precise words and phrases that mean the most to that particular person.

The true self hypnosis is thus crafted by the person to suit his or her own needs. The benefits derived could only be accomplished with such a personal, one-of-a-kind hypnosis. In this case, the "self" in self hypnosis really does mean that you are hypnotized by yourself!

Below is a short view of the self hypnotic process. Though lots of variations of this method have been used, these are the basic steps you have to go through in order to hypnotize yourself to accomplish self improvement.

1. Position your goals from the most important goal to the less important. If possible, your goals should be measurable.

2. For each goal, you should formulate fitting suggestions which means you have to convert your goals into specific instructions to your subconscious mind on how to achieve each goal.

3. Relaxation. Use the first minutes of your self hypnotic session to get as relaxed as possible. Try to forget all your worries and problems.

4. Start your hypnotic initiation phase by saying and repeating out loud the hypnotic words you have chosen, thinking of these words or listening to a hypnotic tape or CD customized for your hypnotic and goal fulfillment needs.

5. Apply the hypnotic suggestions you have made for reaching the specific goal you work with, say them out loud, think them or use a tailored hypnotic tape or CD.

Before you start up your self hypnotic exercises you should make a time schedule for it. Do your hypnotic sessions every day, five minutes a day is enough. Repeat your suggestions as often as possible during the day.

Measure your progress. Are you closer to your goal now than you were before you started? Ask yourself. If you answer negative to these questions, you have to rethink and reorganize your train of thoughts.

This is the only way you can find out if this method is really helping you in achieving your self improvement goals.

Indecision

This four syllable word has cost more people more opportunity than any other one thing. There is another word that has a similar effect and that is procrastination.

There is plenty of evidence to support the fact that these words are really one in the same, we procrastinate because we are in a state of indecision. So what causes us to procrastinate? Well it is something that we have touched on a few times here, FEAR. Now this may sound silly to you. You may want to hold on to your position and say
"Its not fear, its because we are not 100% sure of the outcome of our actions."

Well that in essence is fear. Can you imagine this world if everybody thought like that? We would not have TV, we would not have the motor car, we would not have the incandescent light bulb, we would not have KFC or McDonlads or really any of the modern conveniences we now enjoy.

The people that came up with the ideas for the things we now, mostly, take for granted, were certain that they were going to do something, there was no indecision about what they were setting about to achieve. Did they know exactly how they were going to do it? I doubt it very much. Was everything in place and working perfectly? I can almost guarantee it was not.
No these people simply made a decision that automatically cut themselves of from any other possible outcome. Some of this may sound familiar, what I am trying to highlight in this post however, is that it is our own indecision our own fear of, failing, of succeeding, of what ever, that is causing us to put off the things, yes to procrastinate which of course is ultimately costing us everything that we could every truly desire.

So somethings to remember, ALL of the great entrepreneurs throughout time had a commonality, they ALL made decisions quickly and changed them slowly, IF AT ALL.
They did/do not wait for the perfect circumstances, they understand that the perfect circumstances really don't exist.
They did/do not let any outside influences steal their dreams and alter their plans. And what a beautiful thing!

Its simple, you make a decision as to whether or not your are ready for, wealth, success, loving relationships, or what ever in your life.
Its either yes and you take action towards your desired result.
or
Its no and you do nothing, you sit back and let your circumstances control you.

Something also to note, it might not always be plain sailing, in fact from my experience there is a lot of rough weather, this is only sent to test our resolve, to make us stronger, to ensure that we are ready for our new found utopia.

If you can remember that throughout your journey, and stay true to your course, then you will always make it to your destination.

John Lavenia explains this beautifully in his book 'Integrity is Everything'

He says that there is a simple way to see if you are going in the right direction, or making the right decision. Ask yourself two questions;

1. Is this going to take me closer to my goal?
If the answer is no, simple don't do it, if the answer is yes then follow it up with this question.
2. Will my actions impair or hurt anyone?
If the answer is yes, then do not take action, if the answer is no, take action and do not look back. Cut off from any other outcome.

Decision (Be Do Have anything you desire) Indecision (let life be your master)

You Decide.

What is the Price you are paying?

From time to time we are tempted to look at what someone else has in their life. And from this stems many thoughts and nine times out of ten when we are looking at someone that 'seemingly' has more, more luck, more money, more 'things' we get a feeling of jealousy.

I am sure you can all relate to having experienced that at some stage or another throughout your life, after all, most of us have been brought up to believe that 'money is evil' or that 'money doesn't grow on trees' or even 'all the money in the world will not make them happy'. Of course these are stories that have been passed down by generations of people who believe that success is somehow reserved for 'someone else', some how outside of their circle of influence.

You know the only thing that separates these 'successful' people from everyone else is the fact that they have simply made a choice about what they want to Be what they want to Do and what they want to Have in life and go and set about taking the necessary actions it will take to succeed in what ever it is they have chosen to become successful in.

Did it come easily to these people that have chosen to succeed? More than likely not, most people do not see what goes on behind the scenes of a successful person, they either choose to be blind to it or would rather believe that it is by some strange force that only a few people have. This way they can put off taking responsibility for where they are in their own existence, or in some cases sub-existence.

Another thing that separates these successes is the fact that once they have made their decision they cut off from any other possible outcome. They have a knowingness about where they are headed. They know beyond doubt that they will succeed.

Because of this knowingness they are willing to take the action necessary to fulfill their desired outcome, is this comfortable? No. Is this an easy thing to do? No. Would it be considered unreasonable by most people? Yes, and this is more than likely why most people choose not to be successful.

So what is the price you are paying?

Successful people pay the price of ridicule and shortsightedness of others, they know that the short term, loss, pain, call it what you like, is worth the outcome. So they take action
They would rather invest the time now, even if that is two to three years, what ever, than spend their whole life comparing themselves to someone else, someone who may or may not have it all together. They would rather live their life on purpose!

So again I ask, 'What is the price you are paying?'

Book of The Month, Holosync Awakening Prologue

Hi all that time of the month again, well a day late but who is counting?!

This month I have gone a little differently, this month we are looking at Bill Harris's 'Holosync Awakening Prologue' product from Center Point research. So not a book, but an Audio program.
This is effectively a meditation tool. If you have never experienced meditation and would like to find a great place to start, this would be a good place.
Having never had the pleasure of meditating before using this product I find it very easy to use and started receiving the benefits of Transcendental meditation almost immediately.

There are a number of levels that you can work through and this can take several years, however that being said, it can get you to a state of deep meditation that could otherwise take 10 to 15 years of consistent practice.

You also get some other great material with your the system and a great level of personal support if desired.
Enjoy

Half Way; There is Light at the End of the Tunnel

So, we are a little over half way now in our challenge to be millionaires in a year. How are we going?

If I had to sum it up in one word it would be 'forward' that's how we are going.
Despite what is happening on our journey and despite what ill informed no bodies (not content with their own lives so they feel the need to belittle others) continue to say we are learning a great many things, about ourselves and about people in general.

You see there are people in this world that would have you believe that certain people are bad, and I guess you can find evidence of this in psychopaths and psychotics.
However I am of the opinion, and it is just that, my opinion that people are generally good.
No one goes into business to try and wrong someone. To deliberately try and rip someone off.
There may be some that will argue that point, and to them I would say read my post Lean January to see what sort of person you are, if you truly believe that people you are going into business with are going to rip you off, then perhaps you need to take a look at yourself as to why this might occur. Could it perhaps be that you would have no trouble in doing so yourself to someone? Food for thought.
That includes the people that continually try and drag people down. The people that make assumptions based on their own best thinking. The reason I say that is this;
These people feel, for some reason, that they are the victim, they have been brought up to try and find an answer outside of themselves to the problems they have in their lives.
So it's not that these people are bad or other wise, it is more the fact that they have brought into the lies that have been sold to them, by their parents, by society, by the media, you fill in the blanks.

Can they change the way they look at things? Absolutely, will they? Probably not, they would rather hold on to their way of thinking because they're right than entertain the fact that there could be more to something than what is on the surface. This is a good reason why that only 3% of the world population is truly wealthy, their mind is open to the fact that perhaps they don't know everything. They are willing to entertain a thought that might be foreign to them at first.
This is one of the very things that does, in fact, separate the haves from the have nots. That simple notion that perhaps they do not know everything.

Delving a little deeper into that, the haves in this world understand that it is the area that we don't know that we don't know that our true success is located.

Read that last sentence again to let it sink in.

So what does it all mean? Simple, we all have choices in life. Anyone can have success, it is a choice. We must be willing to look into where we don't know that we don't know.
So if success is as easy and simple as looking in that place and making a decision why aren't more people doing it?
Fear! False Evidence Appearing Real which of course I have spoken of before.

Let me sum up with this, you are not going to be able to please all people all of the time, and you know what, who cares, stay true to yourself, stay focused on your outcome and keep striving until you get it.
Will it happen in a day? Will it happen in a year? Who knows, more to the point WHO CARES!
Just know that the only way you are going to fail in achieving your goals and ultimately having anything you truly desire, is to QUIT.
The only one who can determine that is YOU

Until next time!

No Limits

The Way you live your life is up to you, no one in this world has the right to tell you how your life should be or what you should be doing. We ALL have choices.

Make the most of NOW

What lies are you living by?

Hi all,

I wanted to follow on a little from the last post here.
Since I have been on my path to self discovery I have be chronicling my progress, journaling if you like, of course this is one the fundamentals of growth and personal development, and I guess I must thank Zig Ziggler for the fact that I started, after all he says that everyone should write a book of their lives. So that's what I did, well at least I started it, its far from finished! In fact it is now starting to get exciting.
Now journals serve a great purpose, not only do they log your progress on your journey, they also provide you with a map in case you get lost. You can always go back and look at something you have written to find your way again.
It is often when we go back through these entries or chapters that we gain some useful insight into, not only who we were/are at the time of writing, but also into the strength of character we really have. We have so much potential!

I was privileged enough to be invited as a guest speaker on an associates of mines (Great Leaders in my business) team call this evening, and it was a great experience, I took so much away from it my self, and John Lavenia talks of this in his book a little bit, it goes something like this;

"These tend to be powerful experiences where people gain a whole new level of understanding on things. But at the same time, I can't give anything away. I learn lots from these interactions as well."

So it is safe to say that I benefited greatly from the call, if for nothing else but reaffirming my own belief, my own resolve.
So you really do get who you are, I choose to be a leader in my chosen field, and because that's who I am being then that's what shows up in my business. The leadership possibilities now show up as a direct result of what I am thinking.

I want to share an extract from one of the chapters in my book, something that I had not read in a while and it was the perfect time for me to reflect upon it, to remind my self of who I really am and again who I choose to be!

First City would allure people to the Seminar by offering a free digital camera, or a ‘vanishing credit card’ to value of $5,000, meaning they would pay your credit card if you ‘won’ the prize, funny thing is, I can not recall it ever being drawn.

By this time I had lost all faith in this company. A funny thing happens to a good moral person when this occurs. How could I in good faith tell all the people at one of these seminars that they needed to have faith in this company when I no longer had it, I still believed, and to an extent still do believe in the product they provided, just not in the way they provided it.

I called my manager in Auckland and told him that I could no longer work for the company as I had lost all faith that they had any integrity what so ever. He told me that I should take a few days to reflect and think about how ‘good’ I would have it. This of course meant that I would not be able to speak at the seminar that night, which was a Tuesday. It left it down to the last two staff members that First City had left in Christchurch, Bruce, or Colin. Bruce, who was the manager I had taken over from was very receptive to doing the speak that night…..well no we wasn’t really, he had decided (as I would have too) that he was going to take some stress leave. So now we are down to Colin, by this stage it was not unusual for one person to do the whole seminar by themselves. The only problem with this was the fact that Colin’s partner and their son were flying back to Australia the next morning at 4am and would be away for a month, this was the last night he would see them for some time.

Colin and I thought that the best thing to do under the circumstances were to cancel the seminar, as there was no one that really could, or was willing to do the seminar. The national sales manager was really not all that impressed with this idea. He rang me and told me we couldn’t afford to cancel and would I mind doing the seminar as Colin could not and neither could Bruce. I told him that I did not think it was a good idea considering the state of mind I was in, remember I had lost all faith in this company’s ability to follow through on its promises. He convinced me, against my better judgment to do the seminar.

The seminars always started at 7pm, with registration at 6.30pm and usually only took about three quarters of an hour. On this particular night the seminar was at the George on Peterborough Street in Christchurch, I happened to, at the time live just across the road, so I was able to walk to the venue. I went over at about 6pm to start setting up for the seminar, I had this nagging voice, my conscience, it was telling me what I was doing was wrong, you can not in good faith tell these people they should do business with this Company. I had two choices, I could not leave the seminar, as there were people who had given up they’re time to be there, that was my responsibility. The choices I had, were to stand by my moral beliefs and integrity, or sell out for the sake of a company I no longer believed in.

It was not until I closed the door for the seminar and went into start that I knew what it was I had to do. I have been told that doing the right thing is never the easiest thing. I guess that could be part of the reason that not many people always do the right thing. I summoned up all the courage I had, courage by the way is not lack of fear, it is having fear and moving forward in spite of it, and I looked at the people that had all come to collect their free digital camera and gain some knowledge that would help them retire comfortable and save 30-40% of their tax burden each year. As the tears started to well up in my eyes, in front of a full seminar room, I explained how this company, that some of these people were about to put their faith in, did not keep their promises to its employees, how would it keep its promise to strangers, strangers that were going to give them money. I did however show them a few things on what they can do to help their situation. I was called a few things on that night, conman, liar, cheat to name a few. I can not blame those people who felt robbed, in fact now I would like to thank them, it made me realise I was doing the right thing, they had given up their time that night, and time is the most valuable investment you will ever make, time is priceless. I continued through the seminar and believe me it got no easier in fact it was one of the most testing things up until that time that I had done. I know however that I did not lose my integrity that night, I stood by my convictions. Had I knowingly booked people to the next step that night, I would have been no better than the company who were not paying me for the service I was providing them.

You would think that after such a great level of commitment to the company that I had shown that night that I would have been cut loose fairly quickly, well, the total opposite happened. My manager offered me even more money to stay on board, they offered to pay me close $2,500 per week, before commissions to stay and work for them. That was the day that I realised that no price can equate to ones integrity. Once you sell out, there is a lot more than just doing good things for people to get it back. Once you sell out, you may never come back from that track.

So looking back on that today I regain even more strength, never give up on the truth, or your convictions, one way or another the truth will come to bare.

Namaste

Book of The Month; 'Integirty Is Everything'

Hi All,

It's that time again where we look at the book of the month.
This months book, 'Integrity Is Everything' By John Lavenia

I have been privileged to read a lot of books on personal development, most have been very insightful and I refer to them often, others not so.
This book would rate at the top of the heap for books I have read, honest, accurate and leaving me with absolutely no doubt what is needed to create anything that we truly desire in life.

John Lavenia's first book 'Integrity is Everything' challenges some of our most closely held limiting beliefs. He tackles the core issues as to why most people fail and live in want or in lack.
He also provides the reader with some simple tools and strategies that when put into action produce amazing results.

Hard hitting and raw, this book is written in very easy and conversational language that makes it incredibly simple to understand.
John's upfront and honest account of what it takes to Be successful will have even the strongest cynics questioning themselves.

John will also be hitting the New Zealand shores for an event on the 21st of February 2009

Johns 'Bridging the Gap' seminar will help connect the dots for a lot of people who are at the point of 'what to do next'.

Lean January

Well It has been a lean January as far as BLOG posts is concerned, that's not to that January has not been fantastic!

I have now been back from LA for almost three weeks and what an amazing three weeks! We are starting to generate some great momentum with our business and we are on target to be meeting some of our goals!! So it is safe to say that we are very excited, well I am anyway!!

So whats been happening, why was I in LA? I was in LA to attend our 2009 Kick Off event and it was a whistle stop tour, it was absolutely fantastic! So many great insights from so many great people, people of integrity and are not interested in be-littleing others, why? I would surmise that it is because they are far to successful to try and point out the flaws in others or make slanderous false remarks.

Yes the people I choose to associate with (these days) have integrity, more so than anyone in the past that I have had the opportunity to associate with. Well apart from my Military days, and even some of them were questionable.
Now I wonder why that is? Is it because of some outside force? Is it perhaps because I have moved countries?
The answer in case anyone was wondering is most certainly NO, it is not.
You see what I have learnt on my journey here, and do not get me wrong, I still have some ways to go, is that is that no matter what out external influences are, no matter what our circumstances might be, until we change the way we look at things then nothing will change.

I would like to share this with you if I may;

There was once a Farmer who lived on the edge of town, right off the main road. One day, this farmer was mending his fences when a wagon came rolling up. It appeared to be a new family moving into town. There wasn't a single space anywhere on that wagon that didn't have a box, blanket or frying pan strapped to it or hanging off of it. As the wagon got nearer, a man on the wagon called out.

"Howdy. We're thinking of relocating to this town. Do you mind me asking what sort of folks live in these parts?"

The farmer called back, "What were the people like where you came from?"

"Not a kind bunch," said the newcomer. "They'd stab you in the back just as quick as look at ya."

"Well that's exactly the kinda folks you'll find here."

It wasn't more than an hour or so later when another wagon approached looking much like the last. It was another family looking to put down roots.

"We're fixing to move into town. We were wondering what kind of people we'll find here," says the man sitting on the wagon.

"What were the people like where you came from?" asked the farmer

"Oh they were wonderful! Any one of'em would give you the shirt off his back," said the newcomer.

Then the farmer said, "Well, that's exactly the kinda folks you'll find here."

So what am I getting at with this little story, (which by the way is out of the best personal development program I have ever seen!! Beyond Freedom) We can not out perform our own self image. As long as we are seeing things in a certain way we are going to attract certain people, things, what ever into our lives.

What I am getting at here we do not see the world as it is, we see the world as we are. If we see the world from the point of view of a victim, then we are a victim

So when I referred to my past, I made a lot of decisions out of lack, or a poverty consciousness, that of course set me up to fail.
Now in referring to my past I made mention about some of the people that I used to associate with, and this not limited to the people I contracted for, it includes the people I chose to go into business with. The reason I made mention of this is it has a direct connection to the story I just laid out above. I was seeing the world as I was, I thought that everyone was out to get me because I had made decisions from a lack perspective. When operating from the perspective, no matter how much you think that you are playing win/win you really are not, you are playing for yourself. And because I had made decisions from that lack perspective, others suffered.

So whats changed now? Well I am living at the cause of my circumstances for one, and now I am still seeing the world as I am although now when I look I only see opportunity, I see so many things to be thankful for.
Here is an example, some of the people I used to associate with find it necessary to post blasphemes and false comments about me on the Internet, you see they are operating from a lack perspective. I have a choice, I could be angry and upset about it, and I believe I have every right to be, however instead I choose to be thankful for that. I am thankful for that for a number of reasons;

• It has shown me how much I have grown.
• It gives me more drive and power to complete what I have set out to do.
• It Reminds me of who I am no longer.

Just a couple of reasons there that I am thankful, and it serves me well to reflect upon that from time to time.

So I am thankful and full of gratitude to all the people, who I might ad, don't even use their real names, who have posted ill informed and down right untrue statements about me on the Internet, you know who you are. I know they will be reading this. Instead of empowering themselves they are slowly wilting with negativity.

So, again, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Book of the Month; Why We Want You To Be Rich

Hey Guys,
a few days late however here it is, the book of the month.
'Why We Want You To Be Rich' is a great book with some interesting insight for those who care to get through the whole thing, it is not until your past the first four or five chapters that you really start to get some very valuable insight and thoughts.

Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki get together on this book to help raise the financial IQ of the readers. If you want growth and some interesting facts about the economy and what may be in store then this is a must read.
