To have goals that are inspiring all the way to the hour that you achieve them, take a moment every morning and night to vividly see yourself enjoying them!
Here is an motivating article to inspire you to get what you want in life!
You Get What You Expect
By Dr. Robert Anthony,
Author of Know How To Be Rich
Whatever you expect to happen is determined by the thoughts you dwell
upon plus the intensity of the emotions behind those thoughts. It is
worth repeating that our subconscious does not question the validity of the
data we present to it. It merely processes it and attracts to us what
we believe to be true.
If we are using imagery to change habit patterns, we must see
ourselves acting and reacting the way we want to be in the future. It doesn't
matter how we acted today or yesterday. Once our subconscious gets hold of
our new thought, our brain-mind, functioning together through our
central nervous system, will take over and we will automatically
assume the new behavior patterns. The key is to be able to picture or imagine
the end result so vividly that it appears real.
We have learned that our subconscious mind functions in terms of goals
or end results. Once the subconscious has accepted an idea, you can
absolutely depend upon it to take you to that goal. If we will supply
the end results, our subconscious will supply the "how to." It will show
us how to reach that end result.
Think of the end results in terms of present possibilities. They must
be seen so clearly that they seem real to your brain and nervous system.
The ultimate aim of affirmation and visualization is to evoke the
feeling that the goal is already achieved.
Feel as though it has already been achieved and your imagery will pull
you toward the end result that you desire. Imagine it in as much
detail as possible. Keep using the imaging process over and over again for
the same goal. In the beginning, don't worry about whether you are putting
in enough detail. Every time you visualize you will automatically
incorporate more and more detail.
Always put yourself in the picture. See yourself involved in the
activities of your goal. If you do not put yourself in the picture, you may not
be in the end result. Suppose you want a new car - let's say a new BMW. You
visualize the car and faithfully infuse your imagery with emotion,
detail and repetition. And then, all of a sudden, a new BMW comes into your
life. You look out the window of your house and your neighbor is
driving a new BMW! You now have new BMW in your life, but you are not in it!
So, make sure you identify yourself with your goal.
All successful individuals have started with a picture held in their
mind. They visualized and affirmed what they wanted to be, to do and to
have.And then they instructed their subconscious with clarity and
repetition.

How To Manifest Money Fast Joe Vitale
Do you ever get the sense, that if you could just make more money, all of your problems would be over? Do you ever feel like money controls you, instead of you controlling your money? Money gives you things, yes, but more importantly it gives you freedom. Freedom to spend, freedom to have, and freedom to just be. You want money so that life can be and feel easier...You want money so you can experience freedom.

Isn't it funny - how we all want to manifest more money in our lives, (and not have to work for it!) - but so many of us hold to the belief that in order to have an abundance of money in life you must work very hard for it?! The key is, if you feel that you must work hard to create money, you will.
Isn't is funny- how we all want to manifest more money in our lives, so we will feel better about who we are - but so many of us hold to the belief that the rich are evil or stuck up? The key - if you feel negative feelings about those who create money around you, you will repel abundance and money away from you.
What is your dominant belief or feeling about money? What do you think you are "vibrating" about money? Are you inviting money to come into your life, or are you repelling it away from you? Have you been stuck in the same place with your money for a long time?
Manifesting, or creating for that matter, can be explained in a few short steps. You ask, you receive, and you allow "it" to come into your life, whatever "it" maybe. Whether it's a new car, a relationship, health, or money - those are the simplified steps to creating anything you want in your life. You have heard the expression, "be careful what you ask for, you might just get it!" True.
So it may sound too easy and simple. We ask and we receive? Boom, just like that? Yes, just like that. What we struggle with is "allowing" the manifestation.
How do you hinder money from coming into your life? You hinder the allowance of money flow into your life with contradictory thoughts, beliefs and feelings. You say, "This year I will make $50,000. But, I want to (or wish I could) make $100,000 or more." Which of these projections do you think will manifest? So many times it is the limited belief that is manifested in life, because it hold the bigger focus for you. By the Law of Attraction, what we focus on gets bigger. If you are focused on lack, you create lack. If you focus on abundance you create abundance. If you focus on nothing, you create nothing. If you focus on what is, you create more of what is. If you would like to consciously create in your life, it calls for a shift in focus. A shift towards what you want vs. what you don't want.
Here are a few tips to get you started - so that you may begin to attract the money that you would like in your life - so that you may experience the freedom you desire.
How to Increase the Flow of Money Into Your Life.
Dr. Joe Vitale's Attract Money Now Meditation Click Here!
1. Be conscious of the Law of Attraction : Abraham defines the Law of Attraction like this - "That which is like unto itself is drawn. " So what you are radiating and vibrating in your life with your thoughts, words, emotion and beliefs you will attract to you. Again, focus on abundance, get abundance. Focus on lack of money - and you will create more of a lack of money. Also remember that first you ask with your desire, you receive, and then you allow "it" to come into your life.
2. Say YES to money : Have you made a decision to have money in your life? Have you said YES to money? Remember that when you say yes to money, you include that in your vibration, and you will attract money. If you are saying NO to money - with your feelings, thoughts or beliefs, you will also include that in your vibration. Decide to say YES to money. Line up what you want with what you feel. Don't settle for what life throws your way - create your life just as you want it to be.
3. Consciously vibrate positive feelings about your money: As you think about your money, focus on what you have, vs. what you don't have. Allow what you "don't have" only to serve as a light in helping you to see what you do in fact want to create. Think positive thoughts about the money that you do have, see it growing, see it flowing in and out of your bank account with ease. See that you have enough, and that we all have enough. Come from a place that lack will only be our experience if we believe and project lack. See money as a wonderful source of energy that is a God given form of exchange. Get excited about creating money and feel good about it. Nothing is more important than that YOU FEEL GOOD when you are creating your life.
4. Be aware of where negative beliefs about money sneak up on you : Negative beliefs have a tendency to sneak up on you. Pay attention to your emotions - they will guide you. If you are not feeling good, check out your thoughts behind it. You may find a negative belief. If you find yourself feeling angry that someone makes more money than you, examine what your belief is. If you find yourself feeling sorry for another is not as prosperous as you, and you feel bad, examine that as well. Begin to unhook from negative beliefs through awareness, reframing, or shifting focus - which will allow you to flow your energy positively. Looks for as many positive aspects of a situation that you can possibly find. Write them down.
5. Make sure that what you want, and what you are vibrating, are the same : This of course ties in with your beliefs. People tend to have mixed attitudes that stem from greater belief systems, when it comes to creating money. You might say, "I want to create an extra $500 to pay for that seminar I want to take..." But then you might find yourself saying, "There is no way I am going to get that extra $500....or, I can't afford it....or, it's too much....or, I have no idea how to get it....or, it's probably not worth it anyway....or, or, or. Those beliefs or attitudes are in no way a match to what you actually desire - which is to go to that seminar. Can you feel the difference in the vibration even as you read the words? You make sure that what you desire, and what you are vibrating (about that desire) be in alignment.

6. Clean up your money clutter: When you clean up any space in your life, including you money space - you create space for more of what you want to come in. If you are wanting to create more money in your life, it is important to create space for that money! Pay your bills, pay those you owe, ask for payment for those who owe you, straighten your files, create a plan for your money, or handle your emotional issues around money. Remember that you will, as an end result feel clear. When you feel clear, you feel good (it's like cleaning the house). And when you FEEL GOOD, and are coming from a good place about your money, you will be vibrating a pure vibration which aligns you with what you want -- more money!
7. Love and appreciate your money : You may have had the experience, as you sit down to pay your bills - that you HATE to pay your bills. You see your bank account drain once again, and the fury builds from within. It's important to note that what you love and appreciate you will attract more of, and what you depreciate you will repel. If you want more money, match your vibration to what you want, and the best way to feel good about something is to appreciate it, and allow your self to love it. Society tells us that it is not ok to love your money -- in fact it's not right even to talk about it. Break the chain of societal beliefs about money.

8. Love and appreciate yourself: It was said before, nothing is more important than feeling good. When you feel good, and happy, and passionate, and peaceful, and aligned with you true self , the process of manifestation can begin! Part of self appreciation is honoring yourself enough to look within for the "answers". It is tuning into your inner self and your intuition. It is paying attention to your emotions. If you feel negative, then you are not in alignment. If you feel good, then your are in alignment with your true self and your desires. Self appreciation also comes from choosing your thoughts, beliefs, and feelings - and acknowledging your power as the creator of your life!

Your subconscious mind power is the key to wealth, health and happiness you so desired.The creative power within your subconscious mind can actualize your dreams into reality.There are certain mind power principles you can use to attract wealth to your life. Mastering these secrets of influecing your inner mind power-your subconscious power will lead you to unlimited success and achievements.
-----5 Simple Ways to Trick Your Mind Into Attracting Wealth-By Andreas Ohrt.
Addreas is the author of Money Making Secrets of Mind Power Masters-----
Learning how to use your inner mind power, and learning specifically how to use subconscious mind power to attract wealth and abundance?
Along the way, I've learned that using inner mind power works most effectively when it is done with ease and grace. You don't have to struggle to get exactly what you want in life. In fact, whenever you struggle, you push away that which you most desire.Using mind power to change your life is more like a magic trick than anything else. You simply trick your mind into believing that you have what you want, and then your life miraculously changes to reflect your new belief. And just like a magic trick, it seems impossible until you learn the trick, and then you realize it is actually very simple.
Yes, I said very simple. The five steps which follow are designed for the complete beginner. You can start today, right now, to attract more prosperity in your life. Here are five ways to start immediately.
FIVE SIMPLE WAYS TO TRICK YOUR MIND INTO ATTRACTING WEALTH
1. Show gratitude for any money which enters your life. In order to attract money into your life, you must show gratitude for the money which is already in your life. Instead of bemoaning how little money you have, bask in gratitude at the many ways in which you are rich already. For example, if you earn more than $2,182 a year, you have more wealth than 85 per cent of the people on earth. And if you earn over $25,400 per year, you are in the top 10 per cent of wealthy people on this planet. When you focus on what you have rather than what you want, you realize that you ARE already rich. Give thanks often for all the riches in your life.
How to use this principle today: The next time money enters your life, from any source whatsoever, instead of barely noticing what has happened and mentally beginning to spend it, use a few moments of time to give thanks to the universe for bringing this money into your life. Every time you receive a paycheck, every time someone gives you money for any reason, every time you find money, or get a great deal, or save money in some way, stop and appreciate the fact that money is flowing into your life. Doing this every time money comes to you will attract more and more money into your life.
2. Act as if you are rich. This is the fundamental truth of all mind power work, that you must act as if what you want is already yours. So act as if you already have the money you wish to have. Ask yourself, if I was already rich, what would I do, how would I act, how would I feel, and then do, act, and feel in those ways.
Of course, you don't need to quit your job and move to the South Pacific like you would if you suddenly won the lottery, but you start small and with each success you build your way to greater and greater wealth. Eat a little bit better, dress a little bit nicer, go on slightly higher-end vacations, take a cab instead of the bus now and then, take that course you think you can’t afford, or do anything at all that you wish to do but believe you can’t because of a lack of money.
And when you do these things, bask in joy at your inner state of wealth, and know that this state will be reflected in your outer world. You’ll be amazed at how life provides for the things which bring you joy.
How to use this principle today: The next time you are about to buy something, anything at all, purchase an item that is of slightly higher quality and price than you would usually buy. Even if something only costs a few dollars more than what is usual for you to spend, buy that item and thank the universe for providing for your new expanding lifestyle.
Even though it is a tiny step, you are beginning to teach your mind that you are expanding your limitations, and as you practice this you will begin to purchase more of the things you want in your life and the money will come to you to pay for them.
3. Find a penny, pick it up. In order to attract wealth into your life, your subsconscious mind must be open to the idea of wealth flowing to you. You must be open and receptive to money coming to you from any source whatsoever. This includes the pennies laying on the street. If you pass a penny on the sidewalk, and your usual reaction is simply to ignore it because stooping down to pick up a penny is not worth the effort, you are telling your subconscious mind that you are not willing to put out effort for money. The amount of money makes no difference whatsoever. The subconscious mind doesn't distinguish between one penny and one million dollars. All it knows is how you feel.
Of course this manifests in many other ways as well. Whenever you do not accept a gift graciously, whenever you do not charge someone for work that you have done for them, or charge them way less than you should because you feel guilty, and whenever you sell a product for less than it is worth because you do not want to charge too much, you are generating the same emotions. So begin to be open to money, in whatever form, and begin to accept it's flow into your life, even if it's only a penny on the street.
How to use this principle today: Simply go for a walk today and look for money. You are sure to find at least a penny somewhere. Pick it up and thank the universe for bringing money into your life. Let your subconscious mind know that you are open and willing to accept money from any source.

As well, apply this principle in your working life. If you have been undercharging for your services, raise your prices. If you are not earning what you feel you should, ask for a raise. And whenever anyone gives you anything, especially money, accept it graciously and give thanks.
4. Be open to money-making opportunities. One thing that all self-made millionaires agree on is that there are opportunities everywhere, if we are just open to seeing them. You can prove this for yourself by looking at your own life. There are probably many times in your past which you think back to and wonder what might have happened if you had taken an opportunity at just the right time. Whether it’s obvious things like career opportunities you let slip by, investment opportunities you didn’t belive in, or less obvious opportunities like an idea you once had that is now making someone else rich, or an industry you could have joined before it became saturated.
If you are like most people, when you think of your past opportunities, you believe that you once had a chance but that opportunity is now gone. The difference between rich and poor people is that rich people realize that new opportunities are always all around us, all the time. You simply need to keep a look out for the opportunities, keep and open mind, and be prepared to take advantage when the opportunity arrives.
I’m sure you’ve heard the old adage that luck occurs when opportunity meets preparation. Well, it couldn’t be more true. If you expect to find money-making opportunities in your life, and you prepare to take advantage of them when they come, you will be blessed with more incredible luck than you have ever experienced.
How to use this principle today: Get out a little notebook and write down all the money-making ideas you can think of. It doesn’t matter how stupid or outrageous the idea might seem, write it down anyway.
This does two things. First, you realize that there are plenty of money-making opportunities around you right now, as there always have been and always will be. Secondly, this exercise will stimulate your mind to see money-making opportunities where it might have ignored them in the past, and will help you practice to see opportunities in the future.
If you keep adding ideas to your notebook consistently, one day you will see an incredibly opportunity on your list which is perfect for you. Then go for it!
5. Do something that makes you feel good. This has got to be the easiest money-making advice I could ever give. Do something that makes you feel good. When you feel good, your energy rises, and when your energy rises, it attracts more of the things into your life which make you feel good.
Could life be any easier? Not really, but we are so caught up in the backwards thinking of everyone around us that we miss the obvious flow of energy. All you really need to attract more of the good things in your life, including more money, is to generate positive energy into the world. The states of happiness and joy literally rearrange the atoms of your world to bring you more happiness and joy. Of course, the reverse is true as well. So avoid fear, anger, depression, and spend your time feeling good about yourself and your life.
If this is difficult for you, just practice. Begin with some small thing which brings you happiness. It could be as simple as watching a sunset, renting your favorite movie of all time, taking someone you love out for dessert, or anything at all.
The secret is to do these things whole-heartedly, with all your attention focussed on the happiness vibrating from your soul out into the world. This simple act will bring you rich rewards.
How to use this principle today: Don’t just read this article and think "that sounds good" and then go back to your life. Pick something to do which will bring you happiness and do it today. It doesn’t matter what it is or how small it seems. In fact, you don’t have to do anything at all. All that is important is feeling the positive emotions of happiness and joy emanating from your soul.
One simple way to generate positive emotion is to feel gratitude for something in your life. Just pick something in your life for which you are very grateful, and vibrate your gratitude towards it.
IT’S NEVER TOO LATE IF YOU START NOW
That should get you started. Five extremely simple actions you can take to begin to expand the prosperity you experience in your life. But don’t stop there. Never let fear or doubt enter your mind. There is nothing you need in order to succeed except the power of your own mind.
If you worry that you are not smart enough, not connected enough, not talented enough, not young enough or not old enough, you are simply creating limiting beliefs which will manifest in the outside world. All you really need to know is that the outside world is a reflection of the state of your inner mind.Your inner subconscious mind holds the key. Know that you can make every day from this day forward a little more joyful and a little more abundant and then watch your life begin to change.
It’s an easy and gentle process, much like letting a plant grow. One day you will suddenly realize that all of your good thoughts have grown into the beautiful fruits of a happy and successful life.

Attract Money Using Affirmations
How do you attract money like with a magnet? You attract
people,relationships and things to you based on what you believe
yourself to be.To attract money, your beliefs about money must be
right.If you believe that money bad then you'll never have much. You
must change any negative belief in your subconscious mind before you
begin to attract money.You change the negatives by replacing them with
the positive ones.This is the principle of replacement.
Some positive attitudes or beliefs about money are:
* I like money and money like me
* I attract money 24 hours a day
* I know that I will always have more money in my future than I do now
* I am foreverenjoying more and more money
* I cheerfully save 10% of my money
* I see my money re-creating itself effortlessly
* I have lots and lots of money
* I enjoy money and money enjoys me
* Money and all its equivalents are attracted to me in abundance
* Money rushes to me in every form and fashions
As within, so without always. Once you have build these positive
beliefs about money deep within your subconscious mind,the creative
power within will attract money to you. Money will be attracted to you
by many forms and fashions.
Here is an interesting article by Jeff to show you how to to use
positive, daily affirmations to attract more good things, in this case
it's money, into your lives.
"How Can I Use Affirmations to Attract Money and Material
Possessions?"- By Jeff Staniforth
So you desire to gain material things in life? Affirmations are
usually effective in this respect - maybe even more so than with other
desires because material desires often come with stronger emotional
attachments.
You'll recall that in my previous article, "Why Do Some Affirmations
*Work* - and Others Don't?" I emphasized that affirmations that are
emotionally charged are the ones most likely to work. So when you are
emotionally connected to your desire for material things, you can use
the power of affirmations to see how quickly your need is manifested!
Power Affirmations for Attracting Money. If your desire is to have an
abundance of money to fill your needs, practice this affirmation: "I
always have an abundance of money to meet all my needs."
Repeat it several times, then stop affirming. Be silent while knowing,
visualizing, and feeling how it is to already have the amount of money
you desire. Feel as though it has already happened, and that all your
needs are more than satisfied. While in this state, hold yourself open
to all the ways and means by which you will have money flow into your
life to meet your every need.
Following are other power affirmations for abundant supply. Choose the
affirmations that feel appropriate to you --those that resonate with
you, or strike an emotional chord.
It is important that the words feel comfortable to you and are in line
with who you are. Feel free to create one for your specific need by
substituting other words that have special meaning to you:
Affirmations of Abundant Supply:
* I am now open to receive.
* Life is easy, I have an abundance of whatever I need.
* I now have surplus, all my needs are being met.
* I have unlimited abundance.
* I now give and receive freely.
* This is a rich universe and there is plenty for all of us.
* I now live in a rich and loving universe.
* Money comes to me easily and effortlessly.
* I am always supplied with whatever I need.
* I move forward with an expectancy of my greatest good.
* I look for and receive a bountiful supply.
* My greatest good is coming to me NOW.
The last affirmation was a turning point for me personally.
I've since created about 20 variations of this affirmation, and
created a screen saver I call "My Ideal Relationship With Money". And,
for a limited time only, I am giving this "Invest in your future"
screen saver away for Free when you purchase the Sculptor 3 program.

TIP: How to Maintain the Emotional Charge of Your Affirmations
Most people who practice affirmations experience the challenge of
maintaining the emotional charge of their affirmations. That's because
although the power of thought is amazingly strong, it remains strong
for a short period of time. Its quality changes and tends to diminish
with each repetition.
For example: Suppose you recite an affirmation such as: "All my needs
are met instantaneously." The affirmation produces a feeling, and you
understand and connect with the affirmation at a certain level. But
when you continue repeating the affirmation, "All my needs are met
instantaneously," again and again, the thought seldom maintains the
same level of emotion previously achieved.
With each repetition, you tend to lose the mental picture of what the
words mean, and they start to have less meaning.
Affirmations that are meaningless fail to reach deep enough to touch
the limitless powers of your subconscious mind.
To prevent this from happening, I've developed the software program
called Sculptor 3, which combines affirmations with 7 of the best
results-amplifying technologies that are tested and proven to increase
the power and speed of manifestation. Discover how to tap into the
power of computerization to take the power of your affirmations to the
highest level.

What really sets us apart from all the other marketing courses, though, is that we give you the concepts AND the software tools you need to promote and automate your business on the Internet.And we do all of this based on our own real-world tests and experience,not just theory. In other words, we do it and prove it BEFORE we teach it. This is how we are able to guarantee your results.
Actually,that brings up a good question: Why, exactly, is your "Insider Secrets to Marketing Your Business on the Internet" course so successful? Aren’t you leading this market
Yes,we are by far the leaders in educating our Small Office/Home Office audience in how to make money on the Internet.
The reason the course is so successful is because we practice what we preach. We
generated about $7.6 million in business last year, all online.
And that's not to mention the tens of millions of dollars we have
helped our clients generate. We have over 70,000 affiliates and
we get over 1.8 million unique visitors to our sites every month,
all on a shoestring budget and all from scratch. So we are actually
using all the methods that we teach.
Would you hire a poor stock broker? Of course not. If he cannot make himself rich,how's he going to help you? Would you hire a personal trainer that is not in good shape? No way! If they can’t do it themselves,
how can you be sure that what they are teaching you is not garbage?
People know
our reputation and they know that the stuff we teach in the course
actually works. We walk people through every single step they need
to follow to be successful marketing their business on the Internet
-- even if they don't have an online business yet.
We also have a few big Fortune 500 corporate clients. They're attracted to us because most of them are so caught up in red tape that they don’t get to see the guerilla marketing tactics used to generate immediate
revenues like small businesses do. We're just now starting to see
the big corporations picking up some of the things we were recommending
two years ago!
So the key to your success is practicing what you preach?
Exactly. Another big reason we're so successful is that we take all the risk. Our guarantee is simple -- if you don’t make money from what you've learned in the course, then you pay nothing. You can return it anytime for a full refund for any reason. Even if you decide you don't like the paper it's printed on, we'll give you all of your money back.
And you know what? We get nearly zilch returns -- and that speaks for itself.
Don’t
take my word for it, check out the testimonials at our site.
We publish only one percent of the testimonials we receive, but you
can see that it's not people saying “Oh, it was great,”
but people saying they “Made an extra $70,000 already this
year," or “Traffic increased by 400% in 30 days.”
That's what counts -- results. That is the scoreboard at the end
of the day.
And
we really do cover everything in the course you could ever imagine. We teach
you everything from A to Z; everything from starting up from scratch
with nothing to how to drive traffic to your site, right down to
setting up your site to convert visitors to more sales.
You'll learn how to maximize your exposure on the search engines, how to automate
your entire business, how to build pop-up boxes, and hundreds of
other things. We even give you templates and ideas to copy from
us to ensure that nothing will go wrong!
That reminds me of a funny story... A couple of years back, I thought of trying to get my course on the reading list for an Internet Marketing program being offered by a top university. I had some meetings with a few of their senior marketing professors, hoping to get"Insider Secrets"into the hands of all their Internet Marketing students.
They finally came back to me and said, basically, "Thanks, but no thanks." Now, I was shocked! Why wouldn't they want their students
to have the #1 Internet Marketing course as part of their education?
I wouldn't let the professor leave my office until she told me.
It turns out they were actually scared that if their students read
my course and found out that it cost less than two hundred dollars,
they would feel ripped off by the school, which was basically charging
them thousands of dollars for the same information!
That's quite a story! It just goes to show that "traditional" education isn't always the best way to get the BEST information.
Corey,could you tell us a little bit about your own history and background? How did you get started marketing online?
Well,I won't go too far back as I don’t want to bore you, but my first
online venture was way back in 1994. I had written a book called
"Car Secrets Revealed" and had been trying to market it
offline. After wasting a lot of money on magazine and print ads,
I took a friend's advice and decided to try selling it over the
Internet. Those magazine ads had eaten up most of my cash, but I
did manage to scrape together enough to get my first web site up
and running.I did everything myself -- built the site in HTML 1.0, learned how to use FTP programs, figured out how to build a banner, and things like that. Those were the days when Netscape 1.0 had just come out and there was no such thing as secure real-time online ordering. It was all so new and exciting!
I was glued to my computer 24 hours a day testing
all kinds of wild and crazy marketing ideas to see which ones worked.
And I can tell you that 95 out of 100 ideas failed, but the ones
that did work, worked like crazy! Within 18 months I had the #1
best-selling car book online... and it's been #1 ever since!
When people started seeing that my counter had logged
over 1,000,000 visitors at
CarSecrets.com,
they started asking how I was marketing it. They wanted to know how such a simple and basic site was generating so much traffic,
and if I could teach them how to do it. Before too long I realized
that I wasn't able to teach people everything I knew during a one-week
consulting contract.
So I decided to "brain dump" everything I knew into a course, which I called "The Insider Secrets to Marketing Your Business on the Internet." It taught just about
everything I knew with real-life examples of exactly what I had
tested, what worked, and what didn't. That was what set my course
apart from every other Internet marketing course out there -- that
I had actually tested and proven my techniques. Other courses were
just teaching fluff and theory.
By promoting the course with the exact same techniques I was teaching, it became the #1 best-selling Internet marketing course online within three months. Since then, it has been through four new versions -- it needs to be updated regularly as the Internet changes so fast! But through all this time, it continues to be the
#1 best-selling Internet marketing course online.
Because we're so far out in front of the curve as to what's working and what isn't, we have also been able to develop some of the world’s leading Internet promotional and automation software. Basically, we developed software that we needed for our own business. We made sure it was the best and then made it available
to our clients. This has helped us become one of the world’s
leading Internet marketing companies helping small to medium businesses
drive traffic and make more sales.
So, what specific suggestions do you have for someone interested in getting started marketing on the Web?
Wow! That's a huge question and, to be blunt, there's no way I could answer it in just a few minutes. In fact, that's why I wrote a 1,000-page course in the first place... There are literally hundreds of tips and suggestions for building a successful presence online. There is just so much to know if you want to do
it right the first time. However, there is one tip that is more
important than any other...
Get educated. Don’t think you
can put up a web site and have traffic appear from out of nowhere. It does not
work that way. Spend the time to educate yourself about how everything
works. Research your market or idea and learn how to identify a
niche market on the Internet. Create or market products that solve
other people’s problems.
Another thing to look at is your competition. How
big are they? What are they doing right and wrong?
Learn from people who practice what they preach
-- find people that you KNOW are successful on the Internet and
model yourself after them. Don’t try to re-invent the wheel
and don't listen to people who cannot prove that they have done
what you are trying to do.
There are so many "wannabes" out there who write books on web site promotion but don't even have a successful Internet business themselves. Find someone who you know is successful and use them as a mentor -- that's what I did. I had mentors,too.
Why do you feel that so many people who attempt to create an income on the Internet fail to do so?
Whoa, another loaded question! There are so many reasons, but here are the main ones. Bear with me, this will be a long answer:
Deciding on a product before finding a market is
a big one. This is probably the most common mistake. If you are
asking “What is a good product to sell online?” you are making this mistake right now! You need to decide on a market first.
The Internet makes it very easy to find people interested in a specific category like gardening, hunting, aeronautics,accountants, or any other interest group. Just about any group is easy to locate and target online through web sites, newsgroups, e-mail discussion lists, e-zines (electronic magazines), etc.
You have to make sure you have a captive audience, then find out what they are having a common problem with. If you can come up with a product or service to solve that problem, you have a guaranteed successful business. It's really that easy --
that's how all my businesses were built.
You don’t even really have to “sell” it, because you already know they want it before you launch your web site. And since you already know exactly where your customers are, it's easy to target them. I mean, it’s a no-brainer once you think about it.
Now, let’s turn that situation around for a second. Say scientists had found a cure for the common cold. You'd become a millionaire selling it online, right? Well, not necessarily!
How do you find people that are sick online? You would have to market
to the general Internet community to try and find the 1 out of 10,000
people that are sick that day. It would cost a ton of money to market
to 10,000 people just to find one qualified buyer!
And to make matters worse, if you are selling this over the Internet, by the time you ship them the pill through the mail, they'd probably be over their cold! So by choosing the product instead of the market, you can actually fail no matter how great
your product is.
>Your course has a lot of information about generating traffic. Is that a big hurdle for online businesses?
Many people think they can build a web site, submit it to the search engines, and the buyers will come. The logic is that there are hundreds of millions of people online surfing around and that some of them are bound to stumble onto your product. Wrong! Search engine ranking is more competitive than ever.
Yes, there are secret ways to get high rankings in the search engines and we spend more than 40 pages in our course showing you how to do it. It is probably one of the most complex marketing techniques out there. There are lots of different options
for grabbing high rankings. You can do it all yourself, or you can
buy really good positioning software, or even hire specialized companies
to do it for you.
The course even recommends which positioning software
you should be using, as there is a lot of junk out there! The same
with Search Engine Optimization companies -- most have no idea what
they're doing. So my course shows you how to tell the good guys
from the bad guys.
The real key is to know what your potential buyers do online. Are they searching online for a specific term? Are they visiting specific web sites all the time? Are they subscribed to topic-specific e-mail lists or e-zines? In other words, you need
to know where your target market is “hanging out” online.
If you can find where your potential buyers are, this is where you
should spend your marketing and advertising money.
That is why I said before, spend your time getting educated, learning
everything, and researching your market and product or service.
Spend your time and money driving them to your site and then show
them how your product solves a problem they have. Marketing is everything
online! You could have the best product in the world selling for
half of your competitor's price, but if you cannot get the word
out, you don't stand a chance.
What are some of the big psychological obstacles for online entrepreneurs?
Number one in that department is definitely procrastination. I cannot tell you
how many people I've met who have really great ideas and plans,
but so few of them actually do what they say they are going to do.
So turn off the TV, stop using your new baby as an excuse, stop
going for drinks after work with friends, and take the time to get
serious about your business! You will have plenty of time for all
the rest when the big income starts rolling in.
Let's be honest here... We're all good at justifying excuses to ourselves. I've
even done it a few times myself! But there really is no excuse for
not following your dream. You're only hurting yourself.
The second biggest psychological obstacle is fear of failure. Never fear failure. Heck, we fail every day. The key is to fail small. In fact, your ticket to success is failing regularly!
Every time you fail, you're eliminating bad ideas and getting closer
to the things that work.
If you aren't failing, you are not learning. We
test new ideas, new prices, new marketing strategies, new looks,
new products every month! Most of them fail, and we expect that.
And we don't call it failure, we call it testing.
We are just looking for the five winners out of every 100 small failures we have, because what we learn from the winners we apply to everything we have. Here's a perfect example: We don’t even send out an e-mail to our opt-in list without
testing at least four versions of the e-mail to see which one performs
the best -- that is how much you have to test. Some pull in 200%
better results than others with small changes, so it's definitely
worth it.
Speaking of results, what kind of results should people expect when they are just starting out?
Don't get discouraged if you don't see immediate results. This is another huge psychological barrier faced by many new entrepreneurs. Some people expect their business to be successful immediately and their dreams to come true overnight. It usually doesn't happen that way.
An Internet business is like any other business -- it takes work. The only difference on the Internet is that you can automate a lot of repetitive chores... and you can test and roll things out WAY faster than an offline business could.
Things generally start slow -- that is to be expected.
But when it snowballs, it snowballs VERY fast! And you really have
to be prepared, because the Internet moves at seven times the speed
of offline business. If you do things right, you can easily grow
700% faster than any offline business just due to the speed of business
on the Internet.
Think of it this way: if you had just 30 people a day sign up for a newsletter, that adds up to over 10,000 subscribers in a year. This means that your company now has a database of 10,000 highly targeted leads to market your products to. If you were to purchase a list of 10,000 targeted leads (who have never even heard
of you before and may not be receptive to your product), it could
easily cost you up to $5 per lead.
So just by attracting 30 new people a day, you've created an asset that is worth around $50,000. Sometimes, even if it seems like things are moving slowly, you're actually building something great! I hope that makes sense.
If you could tell someone just one thing about how to be a success in marketing on the Web, what would it be?
That’s easy! Learn how to drive targeted traffic to your site inexpensively and the rest will all come. Once you've got the traffic, you can change the design of your site, you can test different prices, and you can even change products if your
product isn't selling well. Without traffic, nothing you do will
make your online business a success.
Now, don't get me wrong! You still have to sell a real product to real people for real money. You can't just build a site, promote it, and try to think of a way to make money after the traffic comes. That was what killed all of the so-called
"dot-bombs" a couple of years ago.
So simply attracting lots of general traffic isn't necessarily a good thing?
General traffic is fine, but traffic targeted to your specific niche market is much, MUCH better. In my experience, finding a niche and selling to it is the single easiest route to profitability online. If you are trying to sell books or CDs online,
forget it -- Amazon.com will crush you. Those markets are gone.
However, if you target your market to a specific interest -- say gardening, hunting, cars, or whatever -- it's easy to find people online with an interest in those things. All you have to do is find what that market wants and give it to them. I have a lot of clients that make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year who just started their businesses a short time ago and almost all of them make their money by having specific products that go over well in a very targeted niche market.
Check out a newsletter I have called onMouseOut="window.status=''">www.SecretsToTheirSuccess.com
-- your readers have got to check this site out. It is cool because
it shows how people that were in low-paying or dead-end jobs are
now making it huge online now, working their own hours and making
profits they couldn't even dream of before. We interview two new
people every month that are making between $30,000 and $2 million
in profit online each year.
Check out the site and you'll see what I mean. You can learn so much by reading about how they started their businesses from scratch not too long ago and made them successful by targeting a specific niche market. For example, one interviewee makes over $1,500 a day selling a plan to bald guys on how to regrow
their hair. And another guy sells tools to make wire jewelry and
makes $40,000 a month!
These products would be a flop if you sold them at a local storefront because the market in a local area is way too small to support them. But on the Internet, you have access to a global market that can support extremely obscure products and
ideas… and be very profitable!
Corey, I wanted to ask you about search engines. How important are they
to the marketing beginner?
When you are starting out on the Internet, search engines are a very
cost-effective way to drive traffic to your site. But as your business
grows, a good advertising campaign, joint venture, or affiliate
program will outperform your search engine rankings every time --
guaranteed.
To start with,you have to make sure that people are actually looking for your
product or service online. I hate to see people starting out on the Web who automatically put all of their time and resources into search engine submission when, in reality, their target market isn’t even looking for what they have to offer in the search engines.
If you want to find out if the search engines will be worth the effort, there
are a few great services online that I show you in my course that
will actually tell you approximately how many visitors you will
get if you have a top ranking under your keywords in the major search
engines.
I tell people to type five of their top keywords into one of these keyword
popularity services, and if your keywords are not getting more than at least
1,000 searches every single month, it is probably not worth your time.
Also, you should never make the mistake of relying on just the search engines to
drive traffic to your site. Although they can be an extremely valuable
source of traffic, they are constantly changing their rules. If you get into a situation where you rely solely on a couple of good rankings in the search engines for all of your traffic, and then one day the search engines drop your ranking, you could be out of business literally overnight. Believe me, I've seen it happen more
than a few times.
Make sure you have multiple sources of traffic to your web site so that if you
lose one, you are not out of business!
Pay-per-click search engines seem to be a great place to test market products on the 'Net. What should people know about using a pay-per-click
strategy for their site or product?
The pay-per-click search engines can be a great way to get traffic to your web site but, once again, only if your target market is actually looking
for you in the search engines. They're great for testing your offer,
testing your site, testing your price, even testing your product
to see if it will work.
Success through the pay-per-click search engines is all about basic math. If the
traffic they drive to your web site makes you more money than it
costs to buy those clicks, then they are a great investment.
Unfortunately, many beginners pay way too much for keywords, never actually calculate
how much they can afford to spend, and end up losing lots of money.
I should also mention that you can't expect to enter a couple of your top keywords
into the pay-per-click search engines and start making money --
that is very rare. To be successful, you need a list of at least
100 to 500 keywords and phrases. You can really make pay-per-click
search engines pay off by bidding on lots of less popular keywords
that are actually more targeted than general search terms.
For example, do a search for "gift basket" on the most popular pay-per-click
search engine and you'll see that to get that top listing, you'd
need to pay $2.76 per click. That's just too much. Instead, bid
on lots of less popular terms like "discount gift basket"
at $0.36 per click or "Valentine gift basket" at $0.61 per click.
What is the most important thing someone needs to do when starting out with a marketing project?
Test, test, and then test again. Never stop testing everything. You want to test your advertising, styles, colors, etc.
Test your offer, test your price, test different types of advertising.
The key is to test small. If it works, apply it to everything you
know.
Start small and test. It is pointless to spend all your cash on a huge ad campaign when you have not proven that your web site can sell a product. And you must be able to track what is going on with your web site. I'm shocked by how many people don’t
know their "visitors-to-sales ratio" -- how many visitors
you get daily compared to how many sales. If you don’t know this, how can you try different things to see what improves your sales?
Can you give an example of this?
Sure. Let's say that your site gets an average of 500 visitors a day and you sell an average of five products a day. Your "visitors-to-sales ratio" would be 100 to 1. (In other words, for every 100 visitors, you can expect to make one sale.)
Now that you know this, you can start testing different
things. Let's say that you decide to test a new headline and find
that you now sell one product for every 50 visitors to your site.
You've just doubled the profit potential for your site! And you
never would have known unless you had taken the time to track the
activity at your site. I teach this in much more depth in my
"Insider Secrets"course.
Listen to this: Back in the early days of marketing my "Car Secrets Revealed" book online, I decided to try out a couple of new slogans. I had a hunch that the one we had been using wasn't targeting the right people. Anyway, after a couple of days of testing, I discovered something that literally changed my life.
I had been marketing the book to car owners, assuming that most people who owned a car would be interested in the book. Well, one of the slogans was targeted towards people who were thinking of purchasing a new car, not to people who already owned one. I just about hit the floor when I saw the results from the test on that slogan! Our sales had literally increased 400% overnight!
If I hadn't always been testing things, even back in the early days, I would never have realized this. That's the power of testing. It has allowed me to build an incredibly successful business.
Based on your experience, testing probably thousands of different strategies, what are the two most powerful ways to market your business on the Internet?
The answer is very simple... affiliate programs and opt-in e-mail marketing.
First off, affiliate programs are the single most cost-effective, least risky way to do business on the 'Net. Affiliate programs are like having an army of joint venture partners out there working for you twenty-four hours a day.
With an affiliate program, it's easy to recruit hundreds, thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people to promote your product, and you do not pay them a penny unless they make you money! I started one of the very first affiliate programs
on the Internet, even before Amazon.com, and I currently have over 70,000 affiliates, so I'm speaking from experience here.
For those who don’t know what an affiliate program is, this is how it works: Basically, you get other sites that share your target audience to link to you. Those links are tracked by special software so that if anyone clicks through the
link and buys your product, you give a commission to the referring
site.
The great thing about affiliate programs is that they are pure profit machines. Because you only pay your affiliates when they send you a visitor who actually buys something, it's literally impossible to lose money! Even if they drive 10,000 visitors to your site, you don't pay them a dime unless someone buys.
That sounds great. But managing a large affiliate program is a huge job, isn't it?
The best part is that if you are using the right tools you can completely automate the entire process. You can be running a multi-million dollar company with only a few staff in the office. We have over 70,000 affiliates promoting our products
on the Internet and it literally only takes us a couple of hours
every month to manage our program using our
AssocTRAC software.
At the end of the month we hit a couple of keys, it prints out the commission
checks, and we mail them to the affiliates.
There are no overhead costs, no employees, and no hassles. You only pay your affiliates when they bring you business,and the software does all the work for you. And the whole thing only costs about $45 a month to run! This would be absolutely
impossible offline, but the speed and scope of the Internet allows us to do
it at almost no cost.
When we built the second generation of
AssocTRAC software, we compiled
over five years of first-hand experience so that our customers could
apply this powerful strategy to their business without having to
spend the hundreds of thousands of dollars and months of time it
took us to develop it.
I could talk about affiliate programs all day, as it is a huge topic, but since we only have a limited amount of time, I'm going to recommend that if you are interested in learning more about how affiliate programs work and how you can start one of your
own, visit our
AssocTRAC web site.
Could you tell us a little about the second strategy you mentioned: opt-in e-mail marketing?
The second marketing strategy that every e-business definitely needs to employ if they want to be successful is opt-in e-mail marketing. And to get started building an opt-in e-mail list you NEED to be collecting e-mail addresses at your site. I can't
stress this one enough. If you aren't doing this, you need to start
right now!
Here's how it works: You need to offer every single visitor to your site a reason to leave you their e-mail address. It can be for a free newsletter, a free report, a demo version of your software, a contest... Any reason you can think of to get people
to leave you their e-mail address.
If someone visits your web site and actually takes the time to subscribe to your newsletter by giving you their name and e-mail address, this obviously means that they are interested in what you have to offer. Congratulations! You have just captured an incredibly hot sales lead!
By simply following up with these people and e-mailing them quality information and facts, you will instantly build your credibility by developing the rapport that is needed to close sales.
The bottom line is this: Most people are simply not comfortable shelling out money the first time they visit your web site. Unfortunately, the Internet is a big place, so the chances of them finding you again once they leave your site are pretty slim.
By capturing their name and e-mail address, you can guarantee that
they will not forget about you.
What are some things that people should keep in mind when sending e-mail promotions?
First and foremost: The names and e-mail addresses you collect on your web site should be treated like gold and never abused. If you constantly e-mail these people with blatant advertisements and plugs for your products and never actually send them any valuable information, you will ruin any chance you have to sell to them in
the future.
Also, opt-in e-mail is impossible to manage unless you have the right tools and information. In my
"Insider Secrets"
course I have almost 200 pages of cutting-edge information on this topic alone that will show you how to build an extremely responsive opt-in list very quickly and then show you how to follow up and sell to these targeted customers again and again and again.
We use a powerful e-mail automation tool called
Mailloop
that automates all of our e-mail promotions. I personally started using this software over 6 years ago and it quickly became such an indispensable part of my business that I actually bought the rights to it from the developer so that my customers could benefit from all of its powerful features.
This software is so cool… It is like having your own personal e-mail secretary -- but it does not take any breaks, does not talk back, does not ask for vacation, and did I mention that it works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week?
It handles almost all of your e-mail: It subscribes and unsubscribes people automatically from your opt-in lists, it merges your orders into your customer database, it automatically sends out your promotions, it automatically responds to your customers' commonly asked questions, and much more.
It just leaves you with the e-mail that you need to handle personally -- it takes care of the rest. We use it every day to automate our business and stay in contact with our clients; it is solely responsible for generating over $100,000 a month in
new business for us. You can check it out at
www.marketingtips.com/mailloop.
Rapid growth and expansion
can be a “good” problem for businesses. How can you handle your company's
growth?
You automate. That is the beauty of the Internet.It is the first environment where you can truly automate your entire business. You can even run it from anywhere in the world -- as long as you have a laptop and a phone line, you are in business.
I'll never forget the day I was on a beach in Hawaii, drinking a Corona, when I decided to log on to the 'Net for a few minutes and check my sales. I discovered that I had made over $37,000 that day! This could only happen in today's online age!
When you are first starting out, keep it simple so that you can get up and running fast, but also realize that you'll need to automate soon after you start. We use software to automate most of the daily tasks like processing orders, managing e-mail,
and such. Not only are the cost savings huge (one piece of software can literally replace at least one or two employees!), but the real benefit is that you don’t get caught up working IN your business instead of ON your business.
If you don’t automate soon, you will find that the mundane work will become overwhelming and you will be filling orders and reading e-mail all day long instead of growing your business. Be careful, because this is a real trap for so many people.
We teach a ton of ways to easily automate your business without a lot of work. We've tried a lot of things, and we show you what works and what doesn't -- and where to spend your time and money for the biggest growth and the biggest profits.
Unfortunately, we don’t really have time to go into this today during this short interview. But remember that you need to automate so that your business can run automatically whether you are there or not. It sounds complicated -- and it was
3 years ago -- but now there are inexpensive software programs and
simple techniques that allow anyone to do it easily. I go through
a lot of this in the course as it is a fundamental key to success.
You need to automate before you can really grow.
Just as an example, my
CarSecrets.com site practically runs itself. It automatically takes and fulfils orders, deposits the money in my bank account, takes care of most of the e-mail by autoresponding to customers, automatically promotes its affiliate program, and so on.
It generates hundreds of thousands of dollars in early revenue, yet I have an employee who spends less than 10 minutes a day running it. I have not looked at the site myself in over two years and it still generates a ton of money. That is the kind of business you want.
How do you stay up-to-date on an industry that is constantly changing?
We have a team of people who are cranked up on coffee at their desks, testing new ideas every day; we have to be ahead of the curve. We have to update our information and products constantly because the Internet changes so quickly.
The key to really exploiting marketing techniques is that you have to be using them before they become popular, because once people know about them, your audience becomes saturated, and they are not as effective anymore.
Pop-ups are a perfect example. We were using pop-ups way back before anyone else -- they were EXTREMELY profitable back then. As soon as people found out how great they worked, everyone started using them. Of course, as soon as every site had them, their effectiveness fell off quickly. I should say that pop-ups are still
a great tool, but they are 50% less effective than they used to be.
Our job is to find the hot marketing techniques before everyone else picks up on them -- and let our customers know so they can use them and profit.
So,where do you see the Internet taking us in the future? How much additional business will be conducted on the 'Net and how important
will the Internet be to the business ventures that our kids will
be involved with?
Here's a fact: The Internet is becoming part of our lives more and more
each day. Just about everyone uses e-mail now. If you want to know
the weather, you check the 'Net. You check the 'Net for movie listings
in your city, you use it to pay bills, you can use it to educate
yourself on just about any subject.
Today there are university classes being held online for people around the world
who cannot get to a classroom. There are pay-per-view movies that can be delivered to your computer in DVD quality anytime you want through a broadband connection. I mean, it might not be too long before we all say goodbye to the video store!
Nowadays,your sales force can access order and inventory data from their wireless handheld computers while at a customer’s location. Your fridge can automatically order your milk from the local grocery store for delivery when you are low. (I've actually seen this -- it weighs the area where the milk goes in your fridge and determines when to order more.)
The dot-com days are over, but the Internet has just begun! It will become more
powerful and more useful as time goes on. It offers an entirely new level of communication and convenience, which gives home businesses the ability to compete with large corporations, not to mention the ability to run a business from anywhere in the world with next to no overhead or risk.
I personally know janitors and waiters who are making $100,000 a year now with their Internet businesses, working only a few hours a day! If they
can do it, you can too -- no excuses!
Any last words?
The only thing stopping you from making more money is YOU! You may read this interview and say, “Wow, that sounds great!” But unless you actually do something and take action -- at least get your feet wet -- you will stay at the income level you are at today. Do you think my first site looked great and worked perfectly? Of course
not!
If you're thinking about starting a small business, just do it! Get your feet wet,
make some mistakes -- once you've started, you'll never look back!
And you don’t have to be a computer geek to figure it all out, you just need common sense and the determination to get it done.
And take the time to educate yourself. Heck, if nothing else, sign up for a copy of our free newsletter at our site. Of course we save the best stuff for our course, but we still reveal tons of killer tips in the free newsletter. We distribute
it every two weeks or so. Just go to

an old bathroom. Kitchens come in second. [link]
2. It’s worth refinancing your mortgage when you can cut your

5. Never hire a roofer, driveway paver or chimney sweep who is
going door to door. [link]

money to invest? Put more in your 401(k) or a traditional IRA. [link]
7. To figure out what percentage of your money should be in stocks,
subtract your age from 120. [link]

12. If you’re not saving 10% of your salary, you aren’t saving

account or a high-yield money-market fund for emergencies. If you have
kids or rely on one income, make it six months’. [link]
14. Aim to accumulate enough money to pay for a third of your kids’
college costs. You can borrow the rest or use some of your income to
help out when your child is in college. [link]
15. You need enough life insurance to replace at least five years of
your salary – as much as 10 years if you have several young children
or significant debts. [link]
16. When you buy insurance, choose the highest deductible you can
afford. It’s the easiest way to lower your premium. [link]
17. The best credit card is a no-fee rewards card that you pay in
full every month. But if you carry a balance, high-interest rates will
wipe out the benefits. [link]
18. The best way to improve your credit score is to pay bills on
time and to borrow no more than 30% of your available credit. [link]
19. Anyone who calls or e-mails you asking for your Social Security
number or information about your bank or credit card account is a scam
artist. [link]
20. The best way to save money on a car is to buy a late-model used
car and drive it until it’s junk. A car loses 30% of its value in the
first year. [link]
21. Lease a new car or truck only if you plan to replace it within
two or three years. [link]
22. Resist the urge to buy the latest computer or other gadget as
soon as it comes out. Wait three months and the price will be lower.
[link]
23. Buy airline tickets early because the cheapest fares are snapped
up first. Most seats go on sale 11 months in advance. [link]
24. Don’t redeem frequent flier miles unless you can get more than a
dollar’s worth of air fare or other stuff for every 100 miles you
spend. [link]

manufacturer.[link]

How To Build Wealth And Success Mindset
How do the wealthy and successful people build their wealth?
Whether you like it or not, there is such a thing as a millionaire's
mentality. How do you start building wealth consciousness ?
There is another vital key to wealth is having multiple sources of
income.How do you go about that?
Enjoy the following article entitled "Building Success and Prosperity
Exactly" by David Cameron.
Prosperity, wealth, is something that almost everyone in the world
seeks, yet find it hard to attain for some ‘strange’ reason. Money
issues is what we do much of the time, yet it is not taught in
schools. When we are busy doing marketing, web design, or any sort of
work, job or business, we are simply working on issues related to
wealth and prosperity in various forms. Here, then, very quickly and
directly stated and explained, are the steps you shall take to have
guaranteed prosperity for the rest of your life:
Step 1
The first step in creating wealth is building Wealth Consciousness
within yourself. Prosperity is an inside feeling that becomes
expressed on the outside as material wealth and success. Any wealthy
person will tell you that. When you are in the presence of a truly and
highly successful and prosperous person, you can feel their calm and
confident presence, a knowing that surrounds them. This is what you
should first build within yourself. And you can do it right now.
Anyone can. Without wealth consciousness, building wealth becomes very
difficult, elusive and erratic. This not a threat, it is a reality.
Wealth starts within and is evidenced outside. Your mind may tell you
"I want money now, so I want to act now, forget the wealth
consciousness bit. I don't have the time or patience for that. Just
show me how to make money and I will". That is what most people say,
and they end up working hard all their lives with little change
happening in tens of years. Life becomes a dull repeating event. You
must build wealth consciousness if you wish to start creating an
exciting and glorious life and stop living a survivor's hard life.
There is no other way. Even people who win lotteries hardly keep their
newly found wealth. Most lottery winners destroy their new wealth
within a year! Why? Because without wealth consciousness, wealth
hardly hangs around.
Step 2
Once you build Wealth Consciousness in yourself, you then create
wealth using the following strategies:
1. Create multiplied independent assets and efforts: Multiply your
efforts and income by having multiple assets that work for you 24
hours a day without needing your further involvement. You can achieve
this right now, no matter where you are.
2. Investment and growth: Take advantage of compound interest. Even
one dollar can grow to a billion dollars at a certain interest rate
and amount of time. You can never have too little to start with. You
shall also see how here.
You should combine both of these two strategies. Have multiple streams
of income and investments that grow well on the long term.
Today, your financial life may be summarized as follows: all or most
of your income from your job goes to your expenses and debts. That
will never create wealth and financial freedom.
Within a few months, you can change it to look like that of a wealthy
person, which is: your income goes to build assets and investments.
These investments and assets grow that income into something bigger
than it was. In this way, your money works for you. The extra cash is
then used to pay for your expenses and build more income streams. So,
you never work for expenses and liabilities, for that will never
release you. Instead you work for assets. Then the assets work for
your expenses, leaving you free to do as you wish and to create more
assets and income streams.
Multiple Sources of Income
A very important and fundamental key to wealth is multiple sources of
income. Build multiple sources of income for your life. Multiple
sources of income are your key to financial freedom. They are a
manifestation of your dynamic, free and multidimensional nature.
More accurately, make sure that each income stream is a business and
not a job. A job is something that requires you to be there for it so
that it can make money for you. A business is something that once set
up, does not need you to be there to keep going or growing. A job
needs you, a business does not - that is the difference. Some
businesses are actually jobs. You may own a business that is a job for
you. It needs you to tend to it; without your constant attention, it
falls. Jobs take your time and freedom; businesses give you time and
freedom. A person with multiple streams of income from multiple
businesses ends up with free time that he or she can use to live well
and to launch more businesses if need be. Jobs never allow such
liberties of free time to diversify and be free to enjoy other aspects
of life.
So, have multiple sources of income, but ensure each source is
independent of you and has been built to do well without your constant
attention. If your multiple streams of income are jobs and not
businesses, they will literally drain your life, take away your
freedom, and kill you slowly. Choose well. Love your work, but set it
up so that you can be free to choose when and where to work, or to
take time off for other aspects of life.
Remember, have multiple steams of income that do not need you to be
present for them to keep producing. To have multiple sources of
income, simply desire it to be so, make it part of your goals,
visualize and start buying books, magazines and talking to people
about it. The right businesses, investments and sources will then
simply start coming to you. And always keep wise counsel. For
everything, have a person who is of wealth consciousness and of
specialization in that area to advise and counsel you. Learn also to
trust your feelings but not your emotions. Follow your desires, but
maintain detachment. The fruits lie within the reaching into the
unknown, not only in attaining the goal. The reaching is the key, the
thrill and the growth. The attaining of the goal is icing on the cake.
It is easy.
Investment and Growth
A major key to building wealth is in making your money work for you,
instead of you working for your money. If you work for five days in a
week and spend all your income without investing any of it, you will
have forever lost those five days of work. Forever. Wealthy people
take a portion of the income from each day and put it into investments
that grow on their own, automatically and without any further work,
over a long-term period. That way, a portion of each day that you work
for money ends up working back for you for many years to come. That is
a major key to wealth, getting a percentage of your income every day
to work back for you without your intervention.
You do this by taking at least 10% of your daily income before taxes
and bills, and putting that into a long-term investment for a minimum
of about three years.
Good investments include stocks, mutual funds, certain types of bank
accounts that have high and above-inflation interest rates, real
estate investment vehicles, bonds, royalty-producing assets,
self-maintaining businesses, and so on. These investments do not
require you to work for your money. You simply invest, walk away, and
your money grows all on its own.
Even one dollar can turn into a million dollars in a certain amount of
years at a certain compound interest rate. One dollar, just one
dollar, can grow into a million dollars all on its own without your
intervention. You would be pleasantly surprised to know that a single
dollar placed into an investment that grows at 20% a year will become
$1 million in 75 years. That is just one dollar! All you would need to
do is leave it alone, go away, go to sleep for 75 years, just leave it
alone. When you return it will be $1 million without any effort from
you, other than your placing that single dollar at the beginning!
Now, if instead you put in a dollar every single day into the same 20%
a year growth investment, you would end up with $1 million in 32 years
instead of 75. In fact, a dollar a day would become $1 billion in 66
years at a 20% a year growth rate. A higher interest rate would
dramatically shorten that time.
This shows you that you can never have too little to start with.
Whatever your income today, force yourself into the habit of investing
10% of your income before you pay bills or taxes or anything else. Pay
yourself first - it is your money and your life. And it gets even
better. The 1990s was an era where stocks rose phenomenally. In the
1990s decade, over 200 stocks rose by 1000%, some by up to 20,000%.
Many fell again in 2001 but on the long-term, all good companies
always rebound to even higher heights. People in the 90s invested
various amounts and found themselves wealthier for that. Some invested
just $50 a week, and if that was their 10%, that was good enough. It
grew. Others invested more. $10,000 invested just once at the
beginning of 1990 in certain stocks turned out to be valued at around
$5 million by the end of the 90s. Others turned a few million dollars
into well over one billion in the same period. All this wealth growth
happened without any extra effort except putting money away into the
investment.
These people were not doing anything secret - they were investing in
publicly available investments. They were investing in well- selected
shares in the stock market - and anyone can do this. You can do it as
well starting now. Just remember, choose your investments well, invest
consistently, and put 10% aside from every single paycheck or income.
Consistency is the key. Compound interest will always work for you
without asking anything from you. Your only part is to be consistent,
to choose good investments, and to stay put on the long term.
Short-term investing usually does not earn as much as long-term
investing and it is usually a lot riskier.
As you can see, there isn’t much to it. It is all in the inside job
and the outside execution. You can do both of these starting today. No
one is in a position whereby they are unable to do anything. There is
nothing you cannot be, do or have, because it all starts within you
and nothing outside you can stop you. As Henry Ford once said,
"Whether you think you can or you can’t, either way you are right."
