Every time that you turn on the TV, you are confronted by reports about the economic crisis. The reporters and economic specialists say that we are in a downward spiral. They are telling the world that they sky is falling and it is time to take cover. (That’s why I do not watch the news often as it just influences your thinking with media brainwashing – I can think for myself thank you.)

The people that we turn to for advice on money and wealth have become scared by the trends that they have been seeing, they are advising us to be afraid of what we are seeing as well. You are told to save your money and to cut back on your spending.

People are talking about this economic crisis as the next depression. For many people, the only thought that they can think about is that hopefully they will keep their job through tomorrow. This is the time when people decide to be happy with where they are at financially and just hope to stay there.

This is not where you want to be in this time of economic turmoil. You can not just sit and hope that you can hold on to what you already have. This is a time when you can make your dreams of becoming wealthy a reality.

Millionaires are made in times of economic turmoil and now is no exception. Many of today’s wealthy know that now is the time to take the steps to expand their wealth. They do not listen to the tails of doomsday that are broadcast on the TV. They know that there is always a way to make money and that they only have to find it and follow it.

You can be one of these people that can turn the dark skies into a brighter day tomorrow. All it takes is a belief that you can do it. This belief that there is wealth to be had in this time of economic crisis will make you succeed where others fail. It will help you to stand tall against the naysayers.

The use of visualization will be key in achieving your wealth. With your beliefs in place about your money, you will be able to clearly visualize your goals. A clear visualization of your goals will make them become more real to you. This will help you to succeed in your goals.

The first step that you will need to take on your journey is to decide how much money that you want to make in a month. This is often a humbling task for most people. Most people will look at how much money they need to pay bills and living comfortably. This is not all that you need to take into account when you are setting your goal. This is the goal that is set when you are happy just to get by in this time of economic crisis.

The best way to do this type of goal setting is to sit in a quiet room with a pad and pen.  Sit and just think about how much money that you would like to make a month. Do not limit the amount of money that you would like. Personally I wrote myself a check from the universe for $1 billion (I don’t like to think small).

Ever heard that story how the actor Jim Carrey when he was broke and before he was famous wrote himself a check for $10 million for acting services and put it in his wallet. He looked at it everyday and visualized he would be getting that check by Thanksgiving. Well, on Thanksgiving exactly 1 year later he landed a role for the movie “Dumb and Dumber” and the rest is history. Anyways, I thought that was a really cool story and a great example of how visualization can help you out.

The limitations of the fact that the job you are at only pays this much will only set you up to stay where you are. This is what I need to live, is a limitation that will make that you only make enough money to live. You want to earn enough money to be wealthy and to also help give back to society eventually.

The next step is to decide what you will put back in the community to get the wealth that you desire. This is based on the fact that giving back when you receive will help you to build upon what you have. This can also mean what kind of service or product you will provide to help people out and in return earn a profit from on your way to wealth.

Many people choose to donate money to a charity that they have always wanted to help. This is a noble cause and one we do a lot of ourselves, but not the only thing that you can give back.

One thing I thought was cool was when Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin empire, said to just focus on being an entrepreneur first and to build your business. Once your business is doing well then start focusing more time and money into charities. Makes sense if you think about it.

Side Note about the …”kind of service or product you will provide to help people out and in return earn a profit from on your way to wealth”…

Too many just think of how to make money for themselves but you need to go in the reverse order.

Start with how or what can you do to help out someone in (your target niche area) = your customer. Then solve that problem with your new service or product. As long as it does what it says it does, you market it well and people like it you will do well and the money will roll in.

Examples:

This is how I started SureFireWealth.com – back before 2005 the resell rights business was a mess flooded with poor quality products and even poorer distribution channels. We set about to change the industry by adding reviews, descriptions and fully showcasing everything out in the open, adding searches and requirements to meet higher standards to even be added to the site with SFW. We think we have done a good job so far but we have much more to do. We have some cool things at SureFireWealth.com in store for 2009.

We started LearningToEarnOnline.com with the goal to provide great ecourses & learning videos to people just starting out or wanting to learn how to make more money online. We also put in a cool reseller program where we let our resellers keep 100% of the front end sales – something that was really unheard of at the time back in 2006. As a result we’ve helped our resellers to make thousands of dollars by providing a great service to their customers in the form of solid unique content. We’ve also got a whole new line of courses for 2009 to be released soon.

We started SavingYourTime.com to help save people time by just watching videos to learn new things to help them make more money quicker. At the time back in 2005 online videos were just starting to get more mainstream as more and more of the world got on highspeed internet service and pcs evolved with faster processors and higher storage.

ElistSecrets.com was formed to help show people how to build their own mailing lists, something that is very important in any online business.  We’ve got some new things in store for that site this year also to help people out.

This is also how my partner & good friend Simon Hodgkinson and I did our MarketingMainEvent.com series. We started backwards with the customer in mind first, then our partners, then us last. The concept became reality and helped us to do a few million in sales and to even start an entire new company and product line under it such as MembershipMillionaire.com & MemberSpeed.com. We have some amazing things in store for 2009 coming under MemberSpeed Inc to watch out for. We plan on giving away more free content to help you make more money faster, smarter and better than you will see in most of the product launches of 2009. 

This is also how Louis Allport and I did InstantVideoEmpire.com and how my friends and partners John Delavera, JP Schofel & Simon and I did Dynamic4Marketing.com.

So my point is – think how you can provide a REAL service to people this year then get off your butt and get to work getting it out there. Just get it out the door this year.

The third step is to set a time frame for achieving your monthly income goal. You need to be realistic when you set this time frame. Don’t say I want to make $10,000 by January 15th if today is January 1st and you have never made more than $1 online before. But maybe $10,000 in exactly 3 months from now could work for you. The time frame should not be too far in the future that it does not seem real to you. Remember visualization of your goals  and the time frame that you are going to achieve them in are an important part of becoming wealthy despite economic crisis.

Put your time frame in writing. By seeing it in writing, the time frame will become real to you. This will help you to focus on achieving your goal by then.

The fourth step is probably the most important. You need to take action. Many times a great idea and goal go cold when the person spends all their time planning to take action. Even if you do not know the exact route that you will take to make your goal of a certain income a month reality, you need to take the first step today towards it.

From there you will continue to take steps everyday on your road to achieving your wealth in the time frame that you set. You do not want your drive and attitude about your goals to become stagnant.

As you journey by taking these steps, it is good to have a reminder of your goal and time frame. Write down a statement about what you plan to do. An example of this would be, I plan to make $10,000 a month by the end of 6 months. Your statement can be that simple.

Say this statement out loud 2 to 4 times a day. This reinforces your plans and goals. You will stay on track with this reminder of what you are trying to achieve.

This simple plan for achieving wealth was created over a span of 20 years of research almost 100 years ago by the wealthiest people in America at that time – Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, John D Rockefeller, King Gillette and others, then set onto paper by Napoleon Hill in 1937. The simplicity and the truthfulness of these steps will become apparent to you as you take them.

This is why I like to take advice from people who have done it (See above) rather than people who just want to make a quick buck selling their latest ebook, semiar or course. Don’t get me wrong, if the person has done it first then wants to teach you how in their seminar or course – that is the real deal and you should go and learn from them. The problem I have is with the person who writes one book, it makes a bunch of sales, then they are suddenly doing seminars and courses how to become a millionaire.

Have they actually built a business = a real company with real services that has real customers that continues to grow? Do they actually have many years of experience in the niche they are teaching you about? You wouldn’t want to learn how to build a house from someone who has only read about how to build a house correct? These are some of the questions you need to ask yourself the next time you are thinking about buying that new course or seminar ticket to learn how to do something.

Stay true to yourself, follow your higher self & spiritual guides, listen to your gut instincts and keep it positive.

The steps are set to help you to take formulated risks that are needed to make the money that you dream of, despite the doomsday advice about the economic crisis.

These are the steps the wealthy have taken and found the opportunity that exists even in the most difficult of times. You can find the window that has open now that the door has been shut on the ideas of wealth of the general public.

As we come into 2009, you may be looking back and 2008 and saying one of three things to yourself.

“What a fantastic year 2008 was!”… or “2008 could have been better for me…” or “2008 was the worst year of my entire life!”

Whatever you may be thinking about 2008 – it’s over and now time to start a new year and try to make it a great one! So, unless you want to be saying 1 year from now…”What the heck happened to me in 2009!?” You might want to start thinking more deeply…

So, what have you resolved to do this year?

If you’re like most people….New Year’s resolutions come and go. Depending on the survey or study you consult, around 50% of Americans make New Years Resolution and about 15% of them actually last more than a couple months. Not a very reliable means of getting something done is it? 

But you are not like most people or you wouldn’t be reading this blog post right?

This year, instead of making resolutions that last no more than a couple days, consider a new strategy.

Here are Five Not So Typical Financial Resolutions…Be Careful as They May Change Your Life …

1. Resolve to make a change when you need it and not to wait for a special day like New Years, next Monday, the first of the month or the second full moon in March, to make that change you know you need to make.

When you feel as if things aren’t working out the way you’d like them to, say for example you’d like to save more money, instead of saying to yourself – “I’ll save more money after I take that vacation” or “after the Super Bowl party”, or “after my car is paid off,” sit down immediately and make a plan to save more money.

Be specific with your goals. A random, “I’d like to save more money,” is a flimsy goal just begging to be forgotten. Instead, set a specific goal and a time you intend to attain your goal by. “I’d like to save $5,000 by April,” is much more specific.

Make it positive – we’re talking about a statement that implies success here. For example, “I’m going to save $5,000 by April.”

You also should Create a plan of action. How are you going to save $5,000 by April?  It’s not going to magically happen. You’re not going to manifest $5,000 into your savings account – we’ll maybe you could manifest 5K but in my experience manifesting takes a bit more than willing or wanting, it takes action.

Don’t get me wrong here, I strongly believe in visualization and prayer to the angels and spirits above. But you can pray all day for the tea kettle to boil, yet until you turn on the fire it probably won’t boil. So what I’m saying is do a combination of visualising as well as taking action.

An interesting thing happend to me. I made a visualzation chart about 3 years ago by just cutting out pictures of things I wanted to see happen and writing down impact words under them etc. Well, last night I looked at it and I discovered that I’d accomplished about half of the things on the chart! I thought that was pretty amazing and am now making a new one to replace the goals I’ve already met.

I will be sure to do something each day towards making those a reality as well by taking action.

2. Resolve to take advantage of opportunities as they arise.  Resolve to grab a hold of those little bits of inspiration as they pop into your head. There’s an old saying that money likes speed or success likes speed. It means that if you sit on an idea or an opportunity for too long – it goes away.

Don’t wait, don’t hesitate. If you are inspired to do something or an opportunity comes your way – take action. Too often people have brilliant ideas, often while they’re sitting in traffic, having a conversation with someone, first thing in the morning before they’re fully awake or heck I’ve even had them in the shower. So what happens to those ideas? 

If you’re like most, you say “I’ll have to remember that idea.” Or “I wish I could write that down.”  Or maybe you do write it down, right next to the other 100 great ideas you’ve had over the past year or so.

And what happens then? 

Nothing.

You don’t take action. You don’t implement your idea or even begin researching its viability.

You know what inevitably happens to all those great ideas YOU had?  A month, a year, or even several years later you come across someone who is making a ton of money with that very same idea. The difference is THEY took action.

Resolve right here, right now – TODAY – to take advantage of opportunities and ideas when they come to you. Don’t write them down and save them for later, begin exploring the possibilities to make that great idea a reality.

Too many people are afraid of failure or start talking themselves out of taking action on their ideas because they think of 101 ways it wouldn’t work. Well, you will never know until you tried right? I say it is better to try something and fail, then learn from that experience than to never have tried at all. Which brings us to number three on the list…

3. Another thing happens to some people who receive inspiration or are invited into opportunities – they let fear and doubt and a general lack of faith get in the way. Resolve to shove fear and doubt aside.

“The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure.”
- Sven Goran Eriksson

Fear has a great knack for getting in the way of success. It prevents us from even trying. The real question you have to ask yourself is – “What’s the worst that could happen?”  And “Do I really care if I fail the first, second or even the third time?”

Most often, the thing we fear is really quite minimal when we compare it to the potential reward and let’s not forget the reward we feel for simply trying in the first place. Instead of letting fear talk you out of something, examine the risks, assess your fears, and then determine if it’s worth it. 9 times out of 10 it is.

But what about doubt?  Doubt is actually a pretty ugly word – especially when what you doubt is your ability to succeed. You weren’t born with this doubt. It crept up on you as you were growing into adulthood.

Somewhere along the way you started doubting your abilities to do certain things. Perhaps it was something someone said to you or that you overheard or perhaps it was an experience you had, regardless the effect was the same. You began to doubt yourself.  

Doubting yourself sucks. Don’t do it. Rather than letting doubt get in the way of even trying, why not simply plan for success, accept that you might fail and then try and see what happens? 

Wonderful things happen when you let go of fear and doubt. Resolve to make decisions based on what you can do, not what you fear or doubt. The difference may sound small but it’s a huge change and the results will not just affect your bank account – they’ll change your life.

4. Resolve to look for opportunities. Open your eyes to the possibilities. When you set a goal or state an intention, quite often people succeed simply because they are now focused on the goal. Things they didn’t notice before are now all around them.

For example, if you state an intention like “I want to see a blue balloon today,” chances are you’re going to see a blue balloon. Not because it magically appeared but because you are now looking for blue balloons – you’ve become aware of them.

The same thing happens with other goals including financial goals or success goals. As soon as you’ve set your sights on the goal or intention, all sorts of opportunities and possibilities appear to help you attain your goal.

The trick is recognizing them and taking action. Resolve to look for opportunities to help you attain your goals. They’re there just waiting for you to notice.

Opportunites have a way of finding busy people – people who get things done rather than lazy people. Why? Maybe it is the law of the universe, or maybe it is karma or maybe it is just because people who take action and jump on a good opportunity when they see one will work harder at it than someone who just expects the world on a silver platter.

So keep your eyes open and when you get that chance, take it and run with it.

5. Resolve to let go. It’s funny but sometimes when we hold a goal too closely, when it becomes too important to us, it slips through our fingers. Set your goals, make your plans to achieve them, keep your eyes open for the possibilities and then let it go.

Let go of emotional attachment to the goal and enjoy the ride. When you’re able to enjoy the path, the effort, and the eventual success or failure, their really is no downside. And more often than not, when you’re able to let go of the need to succeed, of the emotional and almost physical longing for success, success follows. It’s one of those little secrets that we know but forget because we just get so tied up in the results.

So this year when someone asks you what your New Year’s Resolutions are, and you know they will, you can tell them that you resolve not to make any resolutions. You can tell them that you live your life embracing the present and always ready to make changes as the need arises. You can tell them that you resolve to let go of fear and doubt and need. You can tell them that you’re embracing a life that looks for opportunities and takes action.

Happy New Year!

To Your Success!

Many people around the world are wringing their hands right now and fretting over the state of the economy.  Meanwhile others are ignoring the present state and planning and profiting.  The difference between those who will profit and those who will not lies in their attitude and beliefs about money.

Common roadblocks to wealth

NEEDING the cash  

Ever notice that the more you NEED money the easier it slips through your hands – or downright avoids you? And when you don’t need the money that’s when you receive it?  Of course you’ll always hear those stories about people who were on their last dollar and bought that winning lottery ticket however I bet if you sat down and actually talked with those people you’d find that they weren’t saying a prayer to the almighty and begging for the money. I bet they’d reached a state of surrender and simply thought – ‘what ever will be will be’ and whammo the money came.

What’s the point?  When we need money, our life is focused on it and our energy is one of need rather than appreciation or even desire the energy is negative and we may actually be repelling money.  Sounds kind of hocus pocus I know but if you are familiar with The Secret or Think and Grow Rich, they talk about the law of attraction.  The emotions which are tied to your desires have a strong effect on what you attract.  NEED simply seems to attract more need – certainly not what you bargained for. 

So how do you go around this roadblock? 

There are several small steps you can take.  The first is to be grateful for what you have.  Gratitude is a very powerful emotion. Simply making a written or mental checklist at the beginning or end of every day about what you’re grateful for will start to turn things around. 

The second is to let go of need.  Money is a great thing, it’s a tool, and it can be used to have tremendous fun and do fantastic great works for others.  It’s good to desire money and it’s good to focus on it, as long as your focus is positive. 

Napoleon Hill talks at length about the necessity of faith.  Not just faith in yourself for the ability to create great wealth but faith in the bigger picture.  Faith that if you do what’s required of you, the universe or God or however you choose to define it will take care of you.  He says, “Faith is the head chemist of the mind.  When faith is blended with the vibration of thought, the subconscious mind instantly picks up the vibration, translates it into its spiritual equivalent, the only form that induces a response from the Infinite Intelligence, as in the case of prayer.”

Perception of money

How do you view money?  You’ll find it’s easier to attain if you have only positive associations with it.  However many of us have deep seated associations with money that may not be so positive.  We may not even be aware of them.  For example, did you ever hear your parents say, “We just don’t have enough?” 

Did you ever hear someone say, “The rich get richer and the poor get poorer?”  Did you ever make a mistake with money, maybe a poor investment or incur a bit of debt and feel you’re just not good with money?  Do you feel that money is scarce and there’s only a limited supply? 

These small incidents can create deep seated beliefs about money that affect our ability to create great wealth.  In order to achieve great wealth you have to believe you’re able to do it deep down to your core.  You must also believe you deserve it. 

To eliminate this roadblock to wealth consider asking yourself what your beliefs about money are.  Write them down and explore them one by one.  Ask yourself if you believe the thoughts that come up and if so, why? You may find that you’re able to clear these false beliefs about money and get on the road to the wealth you desire and deserve.

Not Following Your Passion

“A burning desire to be and to do is the starting point from which the dreamer must take off.”
-Napoleon Hill

When you’re having fun and truly enjoying what you do, money will follow.  Now that doesn’t mean it’s guaranteed.  You still need to eliminate the previous road blocks mentioned above and you need to surround yourself with the skills and knowledge necessary to run a profitable business but at its core passion must exist.   

Passion and a desire to be doing what you’re doing day in and day out is essential.  If you dread getting up in the morning it’s only sending out negative energy to your subconscious and ultimately to the divine, it’s also sending out negative energy to everyone around you.  Your customers, partners, employees and even your vendors will pick up on your dissatisfaction.  Whether they’re aware of it or not, it will affect how they interact with you and ultimately it will affect your prosperity. 

Consider for a moment how you feel when you’re at the store for example and the sales person is apathetic at best and you can tell by the look on their face that they’d rather be walking on coals than helping you buy a television.  You don’t feel like buying a television from them that’s for certain.  However if you’re talking to someone whose passion is television and technology you’re going to enjoy that interaction much more and you’re more likely to buy that TV.  You’re also more likely to go back to them when you have future needs. 

The same holds true for you and your business.  You MUST be passionate about it.  Passion is contagious.  It’ll permeate your relationships and kick those roadblocks to wealth right out of the way. 

Running into one or more of these wealth creation roadblocks isn’t the end of the world.  We all, even the wealthiest of us, stumble and doubt from time to time.  I’m sure there are days when Warren Buffet feels less than passionate about his job.  The difference is that the wealthy make changes in their lives to once again feel passionate about their work.  They make the changes and do what they need to do to feel positive about money and they enjoy the rewards of having money rather than feeling guilty or needy.   There is great wealth available for you; all you have to do is continue to clear those roadblocks.  Be aware of them and then kick them out of the way -  great wealth is yours for the asking.

“Persistence is to the character of man as carbon is to steel.”
-Napoleon Hill

Ever wonder what the difference is between someone who is struggling and someone who has made it rich? 

Unless you’re born rich, the question has probably crossed your mind.  Most of us have thought about it at one point or another. 

The answer, if you ask anyone who has gone from rags to riches or even moderate wealth to optimal success, is persistence.  Persistence doesn’t just mean trying the same thing over and over again – I mean really you can only beat your head against the wall so many times before you pass out.  Persistence means if at first you don’t succeed yada yada yada.  You’re familiar with the phrase no doubt.

However persistence is more than continuing on your path for success.  True persistence involved not just following a plan toward success but creating a plan and continuing to create your plan as circumstances and opportunities change and present themselves. 

That means for true persistence to be possible you must also have a very strong desire to succeed and the willpower to make it happen.  You must also be willing to set aside or conquer any fears and take action.  Sitting down and merely hoping something will happen will not make it so. You must have both persistence in spirit and persistence in attitude.

Do You Have Persistence?

We like to think we’re persistent however many of us may lack the persistence we need to achieve our goals.  It may be easy to be persistent when it comes to say negotiating that deal on a new car however being persistent to see your goals become a reality may be much more difficult.  There are many reasons for this. 

-It is of course easy to be persistent if the outcome is going to happen in the near future.  However if you think or believe you will have to wait months or even years then persistence wanes. 

-Persistence also wanes if you do not have a clear goal.  It’s difficult to be persistent if you don’t know what you’re shooting for!

-If you find you’re procrastinating on achieving your goal then your desire to attain the goal may not be strong enough – it’s not the right goal for you.

-Persistence may wane if you’re in the wrong frame of mind – perhaps you’re back in the blaming or complaining mode.  Switch gears and remember positive attitudes reap positive rewards.  Like attracts like.

-Persistence may wane if you’re not willing to take action.  This is typically a result of fear and possibly a lack of self confidence. 

-Persistence also falters when you begin shooting for the ground instead of the stars.  You begin accepting poverty or even mediocre success instead of believing that anything is possible. 

 
“The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in determination.”
-Tommy Lasorda

Developing Persistence

We’re all born with the innate belief that anything is possible however somewhere during the time we’re growing up many of us begin to lose that faith – that strength.  There are the rare individuals who seem to let doubt and fear slip off of them like metaphorical oil off a duck’s back.  However most of us let it creep in from time to time.  We settle because we’ve let false beliefs and doubts enter our conscious. 

The good news is that once you’re aware that you control your thoughts and therefore your success is determined solely by you, you can begin to refocus your energies to more productive thoughts and actions – you can begin to develop persistence. 

Developing persistence is of course more than just changing how you think.  Developing persistence begins with careful planning.  You must know what you desire, know your strengths and weaknesses.  Know your market and your competition and then you must have the fortitude to create a plan of action. 

Persistence can also be forged and reinforced by surrounding yourself with like minded people.  Whether you hire a coach, engage your family for support or join or create a master mind group, the people who you surround yourself with play a very important role in helping you to stay focused on your goal.  Surround yourself with naysayer and you’ll begin to doubt.  Surround yourself with a positive support system and you’ll feel more confident about attaining your goal. 

Another way to develop persistence is to practice it.  Create smaller goals, goals with a short time frame or perhaps a simpler outcome. They don’t need to be goals which are easily attainable but goals which feel more easily digestible.  You can of course break down your large dream goal into smaller portions too. 

As you attain each smaller goal you will begin to develop a pattern of success.  You’ll begin to develop focus.  And you’ll begin to create systems and strategies which work for you.  It’s often easier for us to maintain a healthy and positive attitude when our goals don’t seem too lofty or ‘impossible.’  That being said, it’s important to remember that each smaller goal should be taking you closer to your ultimate goal. 

For example, if your goal is to make $5 million dollars in 2009 and you attack it by shooting first to make $500K with your next product launch don’t forget to include in your plan how this smaller goal is going to help you attain your larger goal – in short don’t replace your ultimate goal with a smaller one.  These are stepping stones not replacements.

As you look to create goals and to develop persistence remember that each new challenge and obstacle is a learning opportunity and a growth opportunity.  Changing your perspective will go a long way toward helping you attain your ultimate success.

“Before success comes in any man’s life, he’s sure to meet with much temporary defeat and, perhaps some failures. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and the most logical thing to do is to quit. That’s exactly what the majority of men do.”
-Napoleon Hill
