The One Lie That Guarantees You’ll Never Enjoy Your Work

by Leave a Comment

As a coach / mentor who people come to for advice on how to make money doing what they love, there is one lie / limiting belief / program that I come across more often than any other with people who are trying to figure out how to make money doing what they love.

Before I reveal what this lie ( limiting belief / program ) is, I want to first explain where this lie originates from.

See, for thousands of years the human race has had a division of classes on this planet…

… the first class of people were the wealthy / royalty class, and the second class were the poor / worker class.

Now, since the worker class vastly outnumbered the “royalty” class throughout history, the royalty class has always had to rely on social conditioning / tradition / religion and other hierarchical power structures to enforce the division between the two classes.

The “worker bee” class was conditioned from birth to believe that they were born to be of a lesser class and with a lesser purpose than the royalty class.

Essentially people were conditioned to believe that their life’s purpose was to just be a worker bee, and to slave away all of their lives in order for the royalty class to have massive wealth…

… and as a worker bee, if you kept your nose clean, and you did as you were told, and you served your King and Queen honorably then you would die with honor and go to the Kingdom of Heaven and you could enjoy all the spoils in Heaven that you didn’t have access to here on Earth.

Essentially, in the olden days Religion was used by royalty more as a tool to control the population than as a spiritual tool for people to find God.

Today, a lot of things have changed, but the division between the wealthy elite and the “worker bee” class remains in tact.

The only difference today is that the wealthy elite utilize different tactics to control the population, relying on social conditioning and “mind viruses” to control the population.

Essentially they utilize social conditioning, mass media programming, and many other methods to condition people to have a certain set of beliefs related to working for a living and having jobs.

The “I Don’t Do It For the Money” Program

One of the primary programs that the wealthy elite use to keep people enslaved is the “I don’t do it for the money” program.

Essentially, the idea behind this program is to condition people from birth to believe that anything that they have a natural talent, affinity and love towards must NOT be something that they pursue as an income producing activity in their life.

Meaning, the program states “If you like doing it, and you enjoy it, and you’re good at it, and you have a talent for it, then you MUST NOT make money with it, otherwise you’re an evil bad guy who will go to hell.”

It may sound funny the way I describe it above, but you have no idea how often I hear GROWN ADULTS recite these words to me as if it’s gospel.

Logically and intuitively no sane adult would find any sense or truth in such a statement, but because of the way we are socially conditioned, we actually believe this bulls*&t.

So often I will meet artists, entrepreneurs, healers, and other ultra-talented people who have an amazing talent or skill that they’ve developed in their life, but they make their income working at a job that they hate…

… and they complain about their jobs and they tell me how they WISH that they could just quit working a job and to be able to focus on just doing what they LOVE and are talented in…

… but the SECOND I make any suggestion to them related to finding a way to make money with their talent, they SNAP back at me with this statement:

“Oh well I wouldn’t do that for money!  That would be selling out!”

Meaning let’s say that they are a talented musician, and I offer them some suggestions for how they could make money with their music, they reply back with “No I wouldn’t want to make money with my music.”

Huh?!

Why not!?

Selling out?!  You’re selling out by NOT making money with the things you love doing!

I mean, wait a second, you believe that working at some JOB that you hate, and that you despise waking up in the mornings to go to, and being around co-workers you don’t like and dealing with customers you can’t stand is somehow a “Godly” act that will get you in the good graces with the man upstairs…

… but the God-given talent you were given that you COULD be sharing with the world on a full-time basis if you just figured out and accepted that it is OKAY to make money with it…

… that talent you are NOT allowed to pursue, because then God will be pissed off at you?

Because you decided to monetize that which you are good at?

In what universe does that even make any sense?

Look, I realize that the wealthy elite that rule this planet have done an amazing job up until now of conditioning and programming us to believe that there is something WRONG or UNGODLY in making money doing what we love, but it’s time to let go of that BS.

Embrace your talents and doing what you love and embrace making money with it!!!

I’m a Blogger, and an Internet Marketer and I LOVE doing this stuff and I’m 100% okay with making money with it!

Why would I rather do something I hate and despise for money, when I can make money doing something I love?

If you think about your passions and talents and instantly your mind thinks “Oh, I wouldn’t want to do that for money” that’s probably a sign that your mind has been conditioned to not want to make money doing what you love.

The good news is you can change that conditioning.

The way to do it is to get around other people who have moved past this conditioning.

Get around as many people as you can who are making money doing what they love.

The only way they’re able to do that is by having eliminated that belief from their mental operating system, so by hanging around with those types of people you will start to model their thinking as well.

Another way to get rid of this type of limited thinking is to subscribe to the Inner Circle audio program from Empower Network.

Inside this system, you’ll find an entire library of audios which all work on different energetic levels to eliminate this negative program you have running in your mind.

It’s essentially a mental virus which tells you that there is something wrong with making money doing what you love.

To learn more about the Inner Circle program, click here.

Another way to start getting rid of this type of thinking is to read autobiographies by people who lived lives doing what they loved.

And to surround yourself with people who are doing that themselves.

See if you’re currently surrounded by other employee-minded people who all have this belief ingrained in their psyche, it’s not going to be easy to make that leap towards making money doing what you love.

That is why I highly recommend the Inner Circle program from Empower Network which will essentially unplug you from your negative programming with each audio that you listen to.

And of course joining an organization like the Empower Network is also a great way to get around other talented, like-minded people who ARE learning to make money doing what they love!

 

Blogging For Microsoft HoloLens Technology

by Leave a Comment

Microsoft is about to change the way we use computers… forever.

Their new Windows 10 HoloLens technology is about to introduce the world to holographic computing.

Haven’t heard of HoloLens or holographic computing?

Don’t feel bad, it JUST came out.

Watch this now:

As you can see, this technology is going to change the way we use computers in every way.

So how is this going to change the way we Blog?

Blogging for Microsoft HoloLens Technology

Microsoft’s vision for this new technology is to change the way that we communicate with each other over the Internet.

No longer are we going to be limited to staring at a flat computer screen, tablet or telephone.

We will now be able to take our computer screens with us, wherever we want.

Imagine walking around the house and at the same time watching a floating YouTube video from your favorite Blogger…

Or imagine that you accidentally dropped your ring in the bathroom and it fell down the sink drain.

You will now be able to watch a “HOW TO” video showing you exactly how to do it as you’re doing it!

Or, even connect with an expert who can walk you through it LIVE, while you’re doing it and even draw little arrows and annotations to show you exactly what to do.

Blogging with Microsoft HoloLens Technology

There are just a few examples of what will soon be possible with this technology

Obviously this new technology is going to revolutionize a lot of industries.

I can totally see the video game industry being totally changed by this.

But what about the Blogging industry?

Well, the way I see it, this new technology is going to make Blogging a LOT better and even more important than ever before.

For example, let’s say that you’ve got a cooking blog where you share recipes and make short videos showing people how to cook something.

Right now in order to consume your content most people would have to either sit in front of their computer to watch your video, or perhaps stand in the kitchen holding their cell phone or tablet up and watch you make the recipe.

Then, once they watch the whole video they would attempt to make it since they can’t really be following along and watching at the same time.

I mean it’s possible, but very inconvenient as you have to be either sitting in front of a computer or holding a device.

With the HoloLens technology a person will now be able to cook and at the same time watch your YouTube video or see your recipe floating right in front of them!

I think this is going to allow people to consume MORE content MORE OFTEN throughout the day, without being strapped down to sitting in front of a computer.

What does this mean for Bloggers?

Well, all the technology companies out there like Microsoft and Apple and Google and Facebook can come up with all the technology they want, but the thing that DRIVES their technology is always CONTENT.

As Bloggers, we are the ones CREATING THE CONTENT.

And as content creators, we will always be in demand.

With this technology and similar ones that I’m sure will be released from the other players in the market, the demand for high-quality content from Bloggers has just gone up BIG TIME!

I think VIDEO content especially will benefit from this.

Someone will now be able to go to the gym, and while running for 30 minutes on the treadmill they’ll be able to watch a YouTube video you created as a Blogger.

Basically, anywhere people are now consuming audio content by plugging their headphones in, they will now be able to consume video content…

… so the way I see it is that the demand for content – especially video content is about to skyrocket.

This is very exciting for Bloggers as it’ll give us yet another medium of communication that we can better communicate and help our target audience.

I’m excited about this, how about you?

The One Simple Mind Trick I Use to Program Myself to Blog Daily

by Leave a Comment

I have now been blogging for 85 days straight, every single day, without missing one day.

During this period of time, I’ve had every excuse you could imagine to skip at least a day or two here and there.

I’ve gotten sick with a weird flu for a few weeks at the beginning of January, I had a bunch of family / social events come up, I’ve had to have the foundation at my house dug up to install a new drainage system because water was getting into my basement and a whole bunch of other things that have popped up which could have easily given me a “legitimate excuse” to skip blogging for at least ONE day somewhere in there.

But I didn’t skip any day.

How did I do that?

How have I been able to stick to writing at least one blog post per day without skipping a single day, when it would have been so much easier on a lot of the days to just take a day off and sit and watch TV or something?

Well, you have to find something that motivates you MORE than sitting on the couch and watching TV.

For me, the thing that motivates me the most is the idea of achieving TOTAL FINANCIAL FREEDOM.

To me, the idea of total financial freedom is simply having enough passive income coming in each month to pay for my lifestyle without me ever having to “work” for money ever again.

For example, let’s say I had $2,000,000 in cash, and I invested that into some sort of secure investment that paid me 5% interest each year.  That investment would pay me $100,000/year in passive income that would just keep coming in every year without me having to work ever again.

That doesn’t mean that I would just sit around like a lump and do NOTHING with my time.  I would still do stuff, it’s just that there’s a big difference between working on stuff because you WANT to do it, versus working on stuff because you HAVE to do it in order to pay the bills.

Okay, so what does this have to do with blogging daily?

Well, here’s the thing…

In order to keep myself motivated, and because I know that one of my highest desires is reaching total financial freedom, I PROGRAM my mind to believe that each blog post I write is moving me close towards that goal…

… not in a vague, general way, but in a very SPECIFIC way with REAL numbers.

Allow me to explain what I mean.

My starting date for committing myself to building this Blogging business with Empower Network started on Dec 30th of last year, which I believe is 85 days ago…

… so the way I see it, it’s like I hit an invisible reset button and started building my business from scratch on that date.

Now, to program my mind to believe that my blogging is moving me towards financial freedom I use a few simple math calculations to calculate the hypothetical value of my blogging business as follows…

The first thing that I start with is I log in to my Empower Network back office and I look at my stats dashboard which show me the exact amount of residual income I have been able to achieve in my business so far.

Here’s a snapshot from my back office here:

Now, I realize that $227.50 in residual income doesn’t sound like a lot of money, and this is where most people go wrong with their thinking and why they give up on their businesses…

… you see for me, I see $227.50/month in residual income as a LOT of money.

Why?

Well, here’s how I see it…

First of all, because of my blogging efforts and such I expect that number to go up significantly over the next 12 months.

However, let’s assume that this number didn’t go up at all…

… let’s assume that it just stayed at $227.50/month for the next 12 months.

Well, that would mean that my Blogging business with Empower Network would generate $227.50/month x 12 months = $2,730.00 in residual income over the next 12 months.

Even just by multiplying the monthly amount by 12 months, the numbers already start to sound a lot more exciting, don’t they?

But this is just the starting point…

… so let’s assume that my business currently generates $2,730.00 in residual income per year…

… the next question I ask myself is “How much CASH would I have to have in the bank in order to pay me $2,730/year in residuals?”

In other words, if I wasn’t building a business like this, and instead I was just focusing on SAVING money from some job I had or something like that and investing that money into RRSPs (or a 401k plan in the US), how much money would I actually need to SAVE in order for that money to make me $2,730/year in residual interest income?

Well, to calculate that we first need to figure out what interest rate I would be getting paid on my investment.

For my calculations I like to use the number 5%.  Why 5%? Well because most “safe” investments out there like putting your money into a bank or a savings bond or something usually pay around 1% – 3% on your money…

…then when you move into just slightly more risky investments like government bonds etc, you can usually get around 2% – 7% long term as an example.

Of course if you invest in the stock market or other higher risk investments you could make more, but I’m referring to a hands-off, safe investment…

… so to me, I could say 3% is a safe bet, but to be a bit more generous I bump it up to 5% for my calculations.

So the question once again is this…

How much money would I need to have in a safe investment which gets 5% interest per year, in order for that investment to generate $2,730.00/year in interest income.

Well, the calculation is actually pretty simple, you just take $2730.00 and divide it by 5%.

$2,730.00 / 5% = $54,600.00.

In other words, I would have to put away $54,600.00 into some sort of safe investment earning me 5%/year in order to generate $2,730 in residual income per year ( $227.50/month ).

Does that make sense?

So basically when I look and see that my blogging business generates me $227.50/month in residual income, I see that as meaning that building my blogging business is basically almost the same thing as manifesting an extra $54,600.00 out of thin air and putting it into a safe investment that pays me a residual income.

Or looking at it slightly differently, I tell my mind that my blogging business is basically worth $54,600!

Meaning, it’s generating the same amount of residual income as $54,600 in cash would generate if I put it into a 5%/year investment.

Make sense?

Okay, so if I program my mind to believe that my blogging business is already worth $54,600.00 then the next thing I need to look at is how much of my time did I invest into creating that?

Well, to keep the math simple, let’s divide $54,600.00 by 85 blog posts, and we get $642.35 per blog post.

Meaning, essentially how I visualize it in my mind is that each blog post that I write is adding about $642.35 into my “financial freedom” account…

Now, of course all my calculations are hypothetical… just because I calculate it out this way doesn’t meant that my blogging business is actually worth $54,600.

It might be worth less or it might be worth more.  I’m not selling it so it doesn’t really matter anyways.

But my point with this is to show you how I play these games with my mind to essentially program it to be EXCITED about blogging, by linking consistent blogging with my ultimate goal of achieving financial freedom.

In other words I *SELL* my mind by using this kind of thinking to make it realize that each blog post I write is kind of like putting $642.35 into my “financial freedom fund”.

Would you write a blog post if someone paid you $642 to write it?

You probably would, right?

If you’re having trouble sticking to a regular blogging schedule it is probably because you’re NOT playing these types of mental tricks with your mind.

In fact, your mind is probably working against you whenever you try to Blog.

Maybe you’re currently making $0/month in residuals from your Blog, so every blog post you write seems like a waste of time and energy.

That is why it’s so important to use a proven system like Empower Network to start monetizing your blog – otherwise it may be difficult to stay excited long enough to see this through.

If you’ve made any money at all with your blog, take that amount that you made and use this little formula to give your mind a number it can get excited about!

Like if your Blog is making you $20/month in residual income, the calculation to figure out how much your blog is “worth” would be as follows:

$20/month x 12 months = $240/year…

…and $240/y divided by 5% = $240/0.05 = $4,800!

So if you have a residual income stream of $20/m coming in, program your mind to believe that you’ve built a business worth $4,800.

If your business was making $500/month in residuals, the calculation would be:

$500/m x 12m = $6,000/year…

…and $6,000 / 0.05 = $120,000 !!!

Meaning you’d have to have an investment/savings account worth $120,000 earning you 5% interest per year in order to be making $500/month in residuals.

So if your blogging business is providing you with $500/m as well, you could say that that business is worth about $120,000. 🙂

Again, I’m not saying that this is how you calculate the valuation of your business.

That is not what this post is about…

this post is about learning how to program your mind to see the value in Blogging.

If you’re not motivated by financial freedom, you’ll have to find a different way to connect your blogging efforts with achieving whatever your dreams are…

… but if you’re like me, and financial freedom is “the dream”, then I recommend using this little exercise to program your mind to stay motivated to blog.

Why It’s Best to Start With a Proven Recipe To Make Money Blogging

by Leave a Comment

My wife and I were watching an old episode of “Friends” this evening, and it was an episode about Thanksgiving dinner.

In this episode, Rachel was given the task of making dessert for the dinner.

Now if you’ve never watched Friends before, you should know that Rachel’s character on the show is a horrible cook.

Monica, who is an awesome cook, is making the Thanksgiving dinner and she decided to let Rachel make the dessert.

Now, what ends up happening is that Rachel decides to make a Trifle for dessert and she decides to use a recipe she finds in some magazine.

Well, it turns out that somehow two pages in the magazine get stuck together and Rachel doesn’t realize it, so she ends up following the first half of the Trifle recipe correctly, but when she flips the page to see the rest of the recipe she is actually seeing the second recipe for Shepard’s pie!

So basically she has this dessert that has cake and fruit on the bottom layers and then meat and potatoes and peas on the top later, topped by bananas and whip-cream.

The dessert ends up tasting horrible and nobody eats it except for Joey.  🙂

Anyway, watching this episode of Friends made me think about how so many people out there so often refuse to follow a proven recipe for making money as bloggers or making money online in general.

Instead they try to combine a few parts of one recipe they learn from one person teaching one system, with a few parts of another recipe from another person teaching another system, along with other parts from other systems and then when this mish-mash of recipes produces no results, they blame all the different people they were following at the same time.

Heck I know I’ve been guilty of this in the past.

Instead of following a PROVEN system / recipe from someone who knows what they’re doing and who has proven to be able to produce results I’ve sometimes tried to cherry-pick certain parts from certain systems and processes and tried to combine them into my own “thing”.

Unfortunately, that rarely works.

That is why I’ve been REALLY putting a lot of focus on being coachable, teachable and learning to PAY ATTENTION and to follow people’s recipes VERBATIM instead of trying to improvise at every step.

This is yet another reason why I absolutely love Empower Network and their proven Blogging system which has been proven by thousands of people to produce results!

There is no need to re-invent the wheel or to try to combine multiple strategies from multiple systems into some kind of amalgamation of systems.

Just get in, plug in to the training, follow the system / proven recipe, and you WILL start to produce results.

There’s no need to re-invent the wheel.
