Have you made a habit out of listening to motivational and personal development talks and lectures yet? What about reading books on personal development and achievement as well as biographies of people that have accomplished great things in their lives? If you answer is “no” then you REALLY need to start making this into a habit ASAP. If you haven’t even considered listening and reading material like this I can only encourage you to stop reading this post right now and go pick up your first book or CD.
But enough “call to action”
What I really wanted to talk to you about is something I re-learned from listening to a 2004 Jim Rohn leadership event training.
In that training, one of the speakers is the well known Denis Waitley and... Read more

I’m not going to make this into a long blog post because I know your time is valuable and that you probably feel that you have to little of it as it is. I think it is the “disease of online marketers”
But since we all value our time I also feel that it is important that we all learn to outsource as much of our work as we possibly can. This will both free up our time and also increase our online income.
And we all want both, right?
Normally the different outsourcing courses and seminars that are available online will cost you a fair amount of money and will not always be worth it (I recently tried a well known outsourcing course where I had to ask for a refund).
But this time I have come across a series of very valuable videos (as we... Read more

Most entrepreneurs (both online and offline) are extremely innovative people and most have more ideas than they will ever be able to complete or even start. Does this sound familiar to you?
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you thought about things like:
Writing different ebooks and sell them
Adding opt-in forms
Starting a new blog
Creating mini niche websites and monetize them with Adsense
Building review websites with affiliate links
Creating strategic partnerships with other people in your niches
Doing massive linkbuilding campaigns using social media, video, article marketing……
Wanting to do guest posts on other sites for links and traffic
Obviously the list could go on and on because there is an unlimited amount o... Read more

I’ve never been good at writing compelling headlines so please don’t judge this post solely on the headline
What I want to talk to you about in the post is why I find that success is best achieved through using structure and systems. We’re not going to talk about what “success” is because we have talked about this topic several times and success is indeed individual and based more on a feeling that on materials goods.
But this post will talk about financial success and business success and in those two areas I find that having a plan, a structure and systems will help you move forward a lot faster and help you avoid creating yourself just another job but instead creating some time freedom and financial freedom in the process.

I have talked about this topic before but I find that it is so incredibly important that it is worth mentioning again. The reason I came to think of it was that Jonathan Ledger has written a post about this topic a few days ago after he had read a thread at the Warrior forum.
As online marketers we’re trying to do everything ourselves and this is especially true when we are first starting out learning all about this new and exciting world of online business. But doing everything poorly instead of mastering a few things have never been the road to success and since we have the added “benefit” of being bombarded with “bright shiny objects” (aka. new marketing products) whose only purpose is to try to make us change what we doing by ...

Sometimes I think that it isn’t that great at all that we have the Internet at our fingertips. The huge load of information has left more people paralyzed than you would imagine. I am a big fan of getting as much information as possible “out there” but I know the feeling of being overwhelmed and stuck all too well and it is a silent killer.
Now this is not just in the online world but rather ESPECIALLY in the online world. There are so many people struggling to make money online and the reason they are having a hard time is most of the times not a matter of missing information but rather an overload of information and missing action because of paralysis.
How many of you have asked yourself (and others) the question of “what niche sh... Read more

I recently mentioned the concept of “Kaizen” in a blog comment (even though I misspelled it) and I was suggested to write a blog post about it and since I liked that idea and I am a big fan of the philosophy, here goes.
First I think it will be best to give the definition of Kaizen as it is mentioned in Wikipedia:
Kaizen (Japanese for “improvement”) is a Japanese philosophy that focuses on continuous improvement throughout all aspects of life. When applied to the workplace, Kaizen activities continually improve all functions of a business, from manufacturing to management and from the CEO to the assembly line workers. By improving standardized activities and processes, Kaizen aims to eliminate waste. Kaizen was fir... Read more
