There is a very simple formula for achieving worthwhile results in virtually any area of your life.
The formula is dead simple, but each part of it must be followed in order for it to work.
The formula is simply this:
“Do the right things, correctly, long enough, consistently and you’ll achieve the results you want.”
Sounds pretty simple, right?
Well, it is, but let’s dive into each of the parts individually to see what it really means.
# 1 – Do the RIGHT Things
The first part of the formula states that just going out there and DOING things is not good enough, you must also do the RIGHT things!
As an example, I first started working out when I was still in high-school.
My older brother had a very basic weight lifting bench he bought and I used to use it to do bench press and a few other strength training exercises hoping to build muscle.
Then for the next 20 years I dabbled with all kinds of different ways of strength training.
I bought a gym, barbells, dumbbells, and a bunch of other strength training equipment.
I then read some books on strength training and tried working out based on what the books taught.
I only stuck with it for a short period of time before giving up.
Then I tried joining a gym, and that didn’t work for me at all.
I found it so time consuming I never ended up going to the gym.
I tried programs like P90X, gym equipment like the Bowflex, free weights, a vibration plate machine, and a whole bunch of other things.
The challenge with all of these different things is that at the end of the day, no matter what equipment I had, *I* was still in charge of creating my own “workout plan”.
What I didn’t realize though is that I wasn’t QUALIFIED to do that.
It seems like it should be something that SHOULD be easy to do – right?
Just get a book like the encyclopedia of bodybuilding, and pick some exercises that focus on the upper body, then pick some that focus on the lower body, and then maybe some that focus on the core, and boom – you’re set, right?
Well, not exactly.
See, as human beings, what we tend to do is if we’re given a LARGE list of possible THINGS that we could do towards achieving a certain result, and we are given the task of CHOOSING a small set of things from that larger list, more often than not we will pick things that are either easy for us to do or that we are already proficient in doing.
Continuing on with my strength training example, given the choice of over 300+ different strength training exercises I could do, when I would put together a strength training plan for myself I would choose 10-20 exercises that were either EASY for me to do or that I was good at doing.
For example, I’ve always enjoyed doing bench press, so that always ended up on my short list of 10-20 exercises I would do, but something like PLANK would never make the list.
Why? Because as anyone who has done PLANK will tell you – it sucks!
It’s not an easy / comfortable exercise to do, especially if you’re out of shape and doing it doesn’t make you feel strong and powerful like bench press does. 🙂
So what I’m basically saying is that for 20 years, when I’d try to start a strength training program, it would already pretty much be doomed before I even started because *I* wasn’t qualified to know how to choose the RIGHT things to do in order to strengthen MY BODY.
Now, contrast that with my recent decision to hire a personal trainer from Ivanco Fitness and we’ve got a totally different situation.
Before even putting together a program, I went through a body assessment process with my personal trainer and we identified my goals as well as doing a proper assessment of my strengths and weak areas in my body.
Then a qualified personal trainer put together an exercise program for me which told me exactly what the RIGHT exercises are for me to do.
So now I’m actually following a plan which shows me the RIGHT things to do.
It’s the exact same thing with something like building a blogging business online.
Most bloggers get overwhelmed with about a billion different things they could do as a blogger, but very few know exactly which RIGHT things to do in order to start making money with their blogs.
This is why you need a blogging mentor.
Otherwise you’ll just waste years struggling and accomplishing nothing like I did with my 20 years of “Do it yourself strength training”.
If you’ve never made money blogging you are NOT QUALIFIED to mentor yourself to make money blogging.
Sure you can waste your time trying to figure it all out via trial and error, but why would you want to?

Now, let’s look at the next part of the formula.
#2 – Do the Right Things, CORRECTLY
The next part of the formula takes things to the next level.
See even if you know what the RIGHT things are that you need to do in order to succeed, you can still do the right things INCORRECTLY and fail.
This is why you need to also be taught how to do the right things CORRECTLY!
With my strength training example, when I work with my personal trainer, he doesn’t just tell me what the right things are for me to do, he also makes sure that I’m doing them CORRECTLY.
Meaning, my personal trainer watches my form, posture and body mechanics to make sure I’m doing the right exercises CORRECTLY as well.
He makes sure I know HOW to do the exercises, which muscles groups to engage throughout the movement and keeps an eye out to make sure I’m doing them correctly.
Again, it’s the same thing with making money online with a business like blogging.
Even if you know WHAT to do, but you’re not doing it CORRECTLY, you will still fail to produce the right results.
This is why it’s so important to have a blogging coach / mentor, who can not only teach you what are the right things that you must be doing every day, but also who can watch to make sure that you’re doing those things correctly.
Once again you could spend the next few years trying to do it with the “trial and error” method, and perhaps you MIGHT figure out how to do the right things correctly, but why waste that time?
And what if you never figure it out?
Why take that chance and waste that time?

Now, let’s look at the next part of the formula.
#3 – Do the Right Things, Correctly, LONG ENOUGH
The next part of the formula states that it’s not good enough to just do the right things correctly…
… we must also do those things LONG ENOUGH to produce results.
Meaning, just because I do the right strength training exercises, and just because I do them correctly ONE TIME, doesn’t mean that I’m going to wake up the next morning having achieved my strength training goals.
In order to reach our goals we must be willing to persevere and do things LONG ENOUGH to produce the results we want.
Again, this is where having a coach / mentor can really pay off, because they can help us to stay the course, to maintain the right attitude and have the mental toughness to keep going especially when we feel like giving up.
Most people fail because they gave up just two feet away from gold, and usually because they didn’t BELIEVE that what they were doing is going to work anyways.
When you work with a coach / mentor, and you know that you’re doing the right things correctly, and they can keep your mindset focused on your goals, it’s so much easier to stick to things long enough to produce results because at least you know you’re doing the right things correctly!
If you’re not working with a coach, and you’re just trying to do the “trial and error” approach, it’s so hard to stick with things long term because you don’t know if you’re even doing the right things, let alone if you’re doing them correctly!
When it comes to building a successful blog, I’ve seen so many people give up on their blogging dreams after just a few weeks or months because they didn’t truly believe that what they were doing was going to produce results.
If you want to build a successful blog, don’t put yourself through that pain and torture.
Instead just join my team with Empower Network and learn what to do from a proven system that’s guaranteed to work!
Now, let’s look at the next part of the formula.
#4 – Do the Right Things, Correctly, Long Enough, CONSISTENTLY and you’ll achieve results.
The next part of the formula states that once again it’s not good enough to do the right things, correctly and for a long enough period of time — we must also do those things CONSISTENTLY!
For example, if I did my strength training program that my personal trainer put together for me, and I did it correctly, and I did that program for 5 years, but I only did strength training once a month or once every 3-4 months, that would STILL not produce the results I want.
In order to achieve the results I want, I also have to do my strength training CONSISTENTLY.
In other words I have to follow a schedule which will optimize the results I get from my program in the shortest period of time, while still allowing me to live my life and to have enough rest time in between for my body to recover.
This is the final piece in the formula.
If I DO the RIGHT things, CORRECTLY, LONG ENOUGH, CONSISTENTLY I will produce results.
If I DO the RIGHT strength training exercises, CORRECTLY with proper form / posture / and activating the right muscles, LONG ENOUGH for my body to transform, CONSISTENTLY enough based on a weekly schedule, I WILL produce results.
It’s virtually impossible NOT to produce results if I’m following this formula.
Again, it’s the same thing with Blogging and making money online.
If you DO the RIGHT things, CORRECTLY, LONG ENOUGH, CONSISTENTLY, you WILL produce results as a Blogger.
If you’d like to learn what those things are, and how to do them correctly and consistently, check out this video of a proven system that has already produced more than a dozen multi-millionaire bloggers.
I warn you though, their results are not typical. They’ve achieved results that go far beyond what the average blogger achieves with their blog, but every single one of them has followed the simple formula I described in this blog post.
