Are People Vested in Your Success or Failure?

by 3 Comments

Yesterday I was having a chat with my Mom about my new fitness program.

She stopped by shortly after my personal trainer Sam left, and I was just telling her how the workout I did really whooped my butt, but I felt so great having accomplished it.

So we got talking and she was asking me if this was one of my first sessions, and I told her that no, I’ve been working out now for over two months now.

Now, as soon as I said that I thought to myself “Holy crap, I’ve been working out for over 2 months now!”

The reason why that’s significant to me is that in the past, I have never been able to stick to a workout program for more than 1-2 months.

For example about ten years ago I joined a local gym with about three other friends of mine who all wanted to get in better shape.

We picked a gym that was more or less the same distance for all of us to go.

After a few visits to the gym, a few of my friends quit, and then after a few more sessions I gave up as well – mostly because the gym was always so busy during the times I wanted to go, and I had zero desire to work out at 5am in the morning! LOL.

Since then, I’ve tried various different exercise programs, both at home and at gyms.

Last year I joined yet another gym, fairly close to my house, and this time around I found a gym that was open 24 hours a day, so that I could go at night if I wanted to when it was really empty.

I found myself only going a few times, and just not really liking the experience.

Back in 2009 I did the world-famous P90X program for almost 2 months before giving up on that, firstly because of sheer exhaustion and feeling completely run down, and secondly because my business working hours changed and I didn’t have the time to dedicate to working out for 1-2 hours every single day.

Bottom line, I’ve never been able to stick to a strength training program for more than a month or two.

Perhaps you can relate? 🙂

Now here’s my point with this.

So I’m sitting there and talking to my Mom, and I’m thinking “Wow, it’s already been two months and I’m still going strong!  Why is THIS plan working where others have failed?”

That’s when it hit me.

Setting Up Plans Where People Have a Vested Interest in Your Success

See, in all the other plans that I was on before, the success of other people depended on me FAILING.

Meaning, other people technically had a VESTED INTEREST in my failure – energetically speaking.

What do I mean by that?

Okay, well, let’s use the gym scenario as the first example.

Most people don’t realize this but virtually EVERY gym out there oversells their memberships by like 90% or more.

Meaning, if the maximum capacity of a gym is that 200 people can work out at the gym at one time, they will sell 2,000 or more memberships EASY.

Why?

Because they know that 90% of people will not show up to the gym.  They’ll just pay for membership and never show up, or at the very most they’ll show up sporadically.

Gym owners know that they can easily sell hundreds, if not thousands of memberships MORE than the gym can handle because they know that most people will give up.

Their entire business plan, and the economics of the business ASSUME this to be true and if everyone they sell a membership to actually showed up and used their membership, the gym would be overcrowded, too full and they would have some serious issues to deal with.

Therefore, when the owner of a gym sells you a membership, they are ASSUMING that you won’t actually even show up.

The gym I signed up for, I prepaid for a whole year and I didn’t show up after the first month, and they NEVER called once to find out why I wasn’t showing up.

Why would they?  They probably have 1,000 other members also not showing up.

So my point with this is that the way the typical GYM business model works is that they make the MAJORITY of their money, selling gym memberships to people who don’t show up.

People like me. 🙂

Again, if everyone who they sell a membership to actually showed up to work out on a regular basis, their business would be in trouble.

Therefore, the gym has a vested, financial and business reason to HOPE and PRAY that you don’t actually show up to take advantage of the gym membership you purchased.

In other words, they are energetically VESTED in your failure to get in shape.

If you go to the gym and work out, they get paid, but now you’re using their machine and taking up space at the gym.

If you don’t go to the gym and you don’t work out, they STILL get paid as most gyms get people signed up to longer term contracts.

Now, contrast that with my current setup with my personal trainer.

My personal trainer shows up to my house, and we train.

When he shows up, and we train, he gets paid!

If he doesn’t show up, and we don’t train, he doesn’t get paid!

It’s a different setup as compared to something like a gym membership.

My trainer has a VESTED INTEREST in my success because he knows that he only makes money when I’m training, and so guess what?  He always shows up, and whoops my butt! 🙂

Which is awesome and exactly what I need to achieve success.

He also knows that if the workouts are too easy, and I don’t produce results, I’ll get discouraged, and if the workouts are too hard, that won’t work either, so they have to be personalized to ME.

Again, even when it comes to what kind of workouts I do when he’s here, he has a VESTED INTEREST in me having a successful workout.

Which is an awesome thing as well.

In the past, when I bought various exercise machines, the company that sold them to me wasn’t really vested in my success.

They were just vested financially in selling me the machine.  Once I bought it, it’s my problem if I get results with it or not.

Same with exercise DVDs and training programs.  Once they sell you the program, whether you succeed or not is mostly irrelevant to them, as the sale has already been made.

Now I’m not saying that gym owners and exercise equipment stores or exercise DVD producers are bad people, or that they don’t care about their clients.

I believe that they DO want their clients to succeed…

…HOWEVER, most of their business models are specifically organized on the assumption that you WON’T succeed.

It’s kind of like a dentist’s business model…

Dentists make money when people don’t brush their teeth, and don’t floss.

They don’t really make a lot of money on people who have perfect teeth – right?

Same with doctors.  Doctor’s make money by treating people who are sick, or hurt.  Their business model and the way that they get paid and put food on the table is based on treating people who are sick.

It is not structured in a way where they PREVENT people from getting sick in the first place!

Again, I’m not saying that dentists or doctors are bad people or anything like that.

I’m just saying that the business model they are involved in is NOT based on getting paid for preventing disease, it’s based on treating disease.

There are so many situations like that in life, where we do business with people and in some situations those people make more money when we succeed – and so they are VESTED in our success – and in some situations they actually make more money when we don’t succeed – and so they are VESTED in our failure.

Does that make sense?

So going back to my conversation with my Mom and my personal trainer, what I realized is that I have now setup a situation where my personal trainer is VESTED in my success, and this is helping me tremendously to stick to my program!

For example, yesterday I accidentally double booked my schedule with a slight overlap, and I wouldn’t be able to do my regular training session with my personal trainer from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm because I had to leave for another appointment at 12:00.

So I made the suggestion to my trainer to postpone my session until Friday instead.

If this was a gym membership and I called them and said “I can’t come to the gym today, but I’ll show up on Friday” what would they say?  They would be like “Sure, we’ll see you Friday, or whenever, or never…:)”

What did my trainer do?

He just showed up 30 minutes early, so that I could still do a workout and be done by 12:00 pm on the dot and make it to my appointment.

I don’t usually double book like that, but when it did happen, he still had a vested interest in showing up and training me, so that’s what happened.

When people have a VESTED INTEREST in your success like that, you get that extra little push that you don’t get from people who are vested in your failure.

Make sense?

This is also why I love the Empower Network business model for Blogging.

Do You Have Someone VESTED in Your Blogging Success?

What’s cool about the Empower Network business model is that it’s setup in a way where your sponsor / mentor has a VESTED INTEREST in your success.

For example, I have a growing team of bloggers who I work with daily and I’m ALWAYS doing whatever I can to help them succeed as bloggers!

Why?  Because THEIR success is MY success.  I am mentally, emotionally and financially VESTED in their success.

I’m not just selling someone a WordPress Blog or hosting solution and then ditching them to figure everything out on their own.

No, I’m constantly focused on trying to help everyone on my team to be more and more successful as bloggers.

I share from my own experience, I help them out, I constantly visit and read my team member’s blogs and offer suggestions on improvements, etc.

When one of my team members makes their first $1,000 blogging, I will be compensated for that by Empower Network, just because of the way that the compensation structure is setup.

It’s virtually IMPOSSIBLE for someone on my team to become ultra successful and make a lot of money, without me also making a lot of money in that process as well.

Therefore, I have a VESTED INTEREST in the success of every team member I sign on!

This may not seem like a big difference to some people who think to themselves “Well why would I join Empower Network?  Can’t I just setup my own Blog on like WordPress or something?”

Sure, you can do whatever you want, but will that put you in a position where you have someone like me having a VESTED INTEREST in your success???

No, it won’t.

You’ll have a Blog, but you won’t be a part of a team, you won’t be a part of a group, you won’t have other people cheering you on and wanting to see you succeed, and you won’t have a mentor who has a vested interest in your success working with you.

You’ll have a Blog, but you’ll be setting yourself up for failure, right off the bat.

This is why for people who want to start a Blog or who want to make money online, or to develop a second income outside of their job, I recommend that they sign up for empower network now and get the support they need.

The Dead Simple 4 Step Formula for Achieving Results

by 10 Comments

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?

It’s so much easier to just join my team with Empower Network and learn from the best of the best!

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?

It’s so much easier to just join my team with Empower Network and learn from the best of the best!

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.

One Simple Trick to Becoming a Better Marketer

by 2 Comments

There’s a really simple and very effective way to become a better marketer that almost all of us overlook.

Have you ever gone to the store and bought some sort of new product after seeing a commercial for it on TV or on the Internet?

Of course you have.

We’re bombarded with advertising all the time.

We see something on TV one day, and a few days later we find ourselves at the store seeing that same item and we think “Oh, it’s that thing…hmmm…” and we end up buying it.

From the cars we drive, to the vacuum cleaner we use, to the food that we eat… our decisions are influenced by advertising / marketing.

There’s nothing wrong with that, it’s just the way we are wired…

… and the marketing industry spends BILLIONS of dollars to research and produce some of the most effective advertising ever created in the history of humanity.

However… not all advertising / marketing works.

There are many products which we don’t buy even when they are advertised to us, and even if we are their target market.

So what is the difference between products that we do purchase after seeing their marketing, versus products that we do not purchase after seeing their marketing?

Well, that is exactly where this one simple trick to becoming a better marketer comes in.

To become a better marketer, start going through the marketing and advertising ads for the products that you purchase!

For example, let’s say that you recently bought a new car.

Go on YouTube and search for ads for that specific make and model of car and try to remember which of those ads you may have seen on TV or at a movie theater or on the Internet.

Once you find some ads, WATCH them carefully.

Think about it… those ads may have played a key role in your decision to buy that car.

I know we all like to pretend like we’re not influenced by advertising / marketing, but the truth is that we all are…

… and you can learn a LOT about marketing simply by consciously making the decision to go back and watch ads for products which we decided to buy.

If you buy a new video game, because you think it’s going to be awesome, go back and try to re-watch some of the ads you saw for that video game and try to see which parts of these ads really resonated with you.

If you buy a new vacuum cleaner, or a new blender, or a new type of food at the supermarket, do some research to see what kind of ads you may have seen for those products.

You may start to notice that the products you buy all tend to use similar marketing tactics, such as for example they might use a lot of humor to sell…

… or maybe the ads are very logic based, offering up a lot of facts and statistics…

… or maybe the ads share a common thread of being rebellious and going against the norm…

Have you ever bought a product that was sold through an infomercial?

Jump on YouTube and search for that infomercial for that product and see which parts resonate with you the most.

Learn from that.

Also, when you buy products based on recommendations from family and friends, after you buy a product ask yourself what exactly did you friends and family tell you about the product to help you make the decision to buy that product?

When you start to study these trends of advertisements, marketing pieces and personal recommendations related to the products you buy, it will help you to better understand what factors influence YOUR buying decisions…

… and then that will also help you to better understand your target market for whatever products or services you are selling, since the majority of us tend to sell products and services to people who are very similar to ourselves. 🙂

Try it out now.

Look around your house or just think about a new product you recently purchased.

Then, jump on YouTube and see if you can dig up any ads for that product that you might have seen.

Watch the ad and ask yourself what you liked best about that ad.

If you bought something recently after watching an online video, or by clicking on an online banner… try to track those down again and see what you like about them.

Leave a comment below and let me know what you’ve discovered after trying this out.

This one simple trick can have a HUGE impact on helping you to better understand what makes YOU and YOUR target audience tick.

The One Dirty Little Secret Which Makes Being an Entrepreneur Worth It

by Leave a Comment

Entrepreneurship is not easy.

There are many challenges that we have to overcome as entrepreneurs.

And in a lot of ways, it could be easier to just give up on our entrepreneurial dreams and just work a 9-5 job.

Well, I guess I should say JOBS with an “s” because as an employee you’ll probably have about 5 to 25 of them in your lifetime since there’s really no such thing as a “stable job” anymore.

Being an entrepreneur isn’t much different though.

You may have 25 different “failed” businesses under your belt before you succeed.

However, there is one thing that really separates entrepreneurs from employees.

You see, as an entrepreneur you may start a business, and run into all kinds of challenges and make bad decisions and fail.

If you’re in the MLM industry, you may join a half dozen MLMs thinking that this time it will be different, and fail each time.

You may make a lot of wrong decisions, face rejection and failure.

Some days you may want to just give up and quit, especially after making a poor decision and once again being WRONG about something.

However…

… there’s a dirty little secret that successful entrepreneurs have discovered…

… which makes entrepreneurship SO worth it…

… and that dirty little secret is this…

… Even though, as an entrepreneur, you may make a lot of poor decisions and be WRONG a lot…

The truth is…

… that to succeed as an entrepreneur, you don’t have to be right 100% of the time…

… in fact you don’t even have to be right 90% of the time, or even 80% of the time, or even 60% or even 51% of the time…

… you don’t even have to be right the MAJORITY of the time…

… meaning you don’t have to be right 50% of the time or more…

… really, as an entrepreneur, you can make a lot of BIG decisions and be totally wrong on most of them…

… but you can still succeed in a really big way if you just make ONE really good decision!!!

This is the little secret.

If you look at successful entrepreneurs, you’ll find that most of them have a past history of failures, wrong decisions, bad moves, and you’ll discover that they weren’t right most of the time…

In a lot of cases they were just right about ONE THING… they made ONE really good decision, and that decision was the catalyst that made them ultra successful.

Then, once they became ultra successful, they had the financial backing and the means to surround themselves with people who are much smarter than they are who could help them to make good decisions more often.

But as a starting point, their success started with just ONE right decision – that’s it!

Writing one blog post which goes viral and gets you a tonne of traffic could skyrocket you to success.

Finding one traffic source for an affiliate campaign you’re running could skyrocket you to success.

Sponsoring one downline member who becomes a superstar could skyrocket you to success.

The trick is to never give up on your entrepreneurial dreams.

Keep going.

Even if your track record is failure, after failure, after failure, after failure.

Just learn what you can from each failure and realize that all you need is one big success and then you’re set!

You can be wrong MOST of the time, and still succeed just by being right ONCE.

This is the little secret that makes being an entrepreneur so worth it.

How to Not Get Overwhelmed In Your Business

by 5 Comments

Last week while sitting in my living room and watching the last episode of the Harry Potter series, I heard a really loud “whoosh” sound in my back yard.

It sounded really weird, so I jumped out of my seat to investigate.

When I got outside, I saw that both of my dogs were staring off in the same direction, so I looked in that direction as well.

What I saw was rather bizarre.

A huge tree had fallen on my property and hit my fence on two sides.

This tree was massive!

Luckily nobody was hurt, it wasn’t near the house, and didn’t hit any power lines or anything like that, but it did damage my fence.

Here’s a short video clip I shot the following morning, showing the fallen tree and the damage to the fence.

Now, when this happened, it would have been easy to get frustrated and overwhelmed by the situation.

I had to find a quick solution to this challenge, as one of my dogs likes to escape, so a broken fence means that I couldn’t have my dogs out in the yard unsupervised.

Instead of panicking and getting stressed out, the following morning I just decided to deal with the situation one step at a time.

I had NO IDEA how I was going to fix the fence, how or when I’d get it done, and how long it was going to take.

I had no idea what I was going to do with the dogs if this was something that might take a week to fix.

I didn’t even think about those things.

Instead, I just focused on taking the first step, which was simply to put on my gear for when I go outside to do landscaping work, grab my chainsaw and go out there and see what I could do.

Once I got out there and looked at the tree more closely and how it fell, and assessed the surrounding area for any dangers like possible large broken branches that hadn’t fallen yet, etc. I started looking at what the first step would be.

The way the tree fell, the top part of the tree landed on the outside of my fence line, so I went out there and my ONLY concern was how to go about making the first cut with the chainsaw.

I saw that the first thing I needed to cut was to cut off some of the branches that were sticking out, so that’s what I did.

Once I cut some of the branches, my next step was to find the best place to make my first cut in the actual tree.  So I did that and I made my first cut.

Once I got that done, I looked for the second cut.

Then the next.

Then the next.

Then the next.

Then the next.

And pretty soon I had the whole tree cut up into smaller pieces.

Now, up until this point I had NO IDEA how I’m going to move those pieces, or where I was going to move them to, or how I was going to go about fixing the fence.

I didn’t even think about those things.

I just focused on what was in front of me… the task at hand.

Fast forward about 8 hours later and with the help of my friend Jabeel, my chainsaw and my utility tractor, I had the tree cut up, moved out of the way and the fence fully fixed.

It wasn’t easy, but I didn’t allow the situation to overwhelm me.

Now, what the heck does any of this have to do with starting a business?

Well, EVERYTHING.

You see, one of the challenges that I see people running into when they try to start a new business or even when they launch a blog or an online business, is that they instantly get overwhelmed!

They get so stressed out, frustrated and overwhelmed with all the things they have to do, that they just give up and become completely paralyzed.

The reason why most people get frustrated and overwhelmed is because they try to solve every challenge, every problem, and every detail of the situation in their MIND before even getting started!

You don’t need to do that!

Instead, try simply taking the next step that you can see in front of you, and once you get there, you’ll see further!

For example, sometimes people ask me about how to make money blogging…

… and they’re talking to me about some potential challenge or question they have about some advanced step that they might or might not even have to take 6 months or 12 months down the line with their Blogging business, and at the same time they haven’t even taken the FIRST STEP towards starting their blog.

It’s like they’re trying to figure out EVERYTHING, before taking one step forward.

Building a business in 2015 just doesn’t work that way.

You can’t see 5 or 10 years into the future anymore like you used to be able to in the 1950’s.

5 or 10 year business plans are a joke, even among some of the largest corporations in the world.

Forget about trying to solve every problem before it’s even an issue.

Instead, just take the FIRST STEP towards your business goals.

Once you take that first step, the next step will present itself and then take that one as well.

People ask me “Paul, how the heck do you write hundreds of Blog posts like that?!”

The truth is that I really don’t know.  I have no idea how to write hundreds of blog posts.

I never think of it that way.

I only think about writing ONE blog post.

And even then, I just think about the next sentence that I’m going to write.  Once I write that sentence, I then worry about the next one.

And he next.

See my point?

Writing 100 blog posts or 1,000 blog posts seems WAY to hard and overwhelming.

That’s why I never think of it that way.

I just think about the next step in front of me, and that’s it.

I can figure out the rest when I get there!

THAT is how you build your business without getting overwhelmed.

What’s the next step in YOUR business?  Just take that step.  Don’t worry about what comes after that.

Have you started a Blog yet?

If not, why not?

Still not sure what the whole plan is?  How it all fits together?  How you’re going to do everything?

You don’t need to know all that.

All you need to know is the next step.

Think of the next step in your business and go get that done.
