LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

1. KNOWING YOUR TARGET

Several years ago I was listening to Mark Victor Hansen (Chicken Soup for the Soul® fame) being interviewed, before actually meeting him, about privately asking Tony Robbins why is it that his (Mark’s) income was $2 million last year, when his (Tony’s) income was $121 million that same previous year. “What am I missing?” asked Mark.

Before I tell you the answer, I want to point out a couple things… Even though earning up to $2M in a year may sound like music to your ears, it’s all relative, because at the end of the day you have to look at your expenses/taxes vs. gross income and see what you’re left with, your net take-home pay.

i.e. it’s not the income, it’s the profit you’re after.

KEY POINT: How much do you want to HAVE in your personal bank account by what date? Begin with the end in mind.

That means you have to calculate NET profits…how much you get to keep after all expenses. Want to have/attract $100,000 in the next four months?

Consider you’ll need to earn more than double that amount in that time frame, especially if you’re working with affiliates or joint venture partners. Possible? Of course it is…

Because once you have a clear target, then your mind will open up, hunt down, compute, never rest until you get the answers you seek. You’ve heard the biblical verse, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”

That is talking about two things:

1) Knowing what you want in the first place – have a clear target/goal. Otherwise, how will you know what to ask, seek, and knock for, right?

2) It also calls for relentless, persistent, action-taking on your part. And when you own a precise target/goal that’s firmly planted in your mind, or posted on your wall, or forever visible on your desktop, you have no choice but to consistently ask, seek, knock, use your power of desire and passion to see it through. That’s motivated action that pulls you to success. Hence, attraction.

2. NOTHING HAPPENS UNTIL SOMETHING MOVES

That title is originally a quote from the brilliant mind of Albert Einstein, then became a book from best-selling author/speaker, Robert Ringer, ACTION! Nothing Happens Until Something Moves.

I bought this book but have to confess I’ve only read the introduction so far. In fact, I keep this book highly visible on one of my bookshelves, placed like a best-selling book should…front cover facing outward.

The title and cover alone remind me every day of what’s most important to my success…ACTION. The main reason I like action-adventure movies so much is because of what it stands for: taking action.

Because without action, nothing happens.

Mentor to many of the biggest Internet gurus online today, Stephen Pierce, has a twist on this. He says: Nothing moves without a sale. I have to agree. Here’s what else I found to bring this idea home…

“Never leave the site of a [newly formed] goal, without first taking action on it.”
- Jim Rohn

Shakespeare wrote: Action is eloquence.

“An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory,” wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Let me be clear… along with action, especially unfamiliar ones, you WILL experience frustration, as with anything new. You must possess an attitude of ‘must’ no matter what. How do you do that? By having a compelling, reason-why-I’m-excited-to-get-up every morning, monster of a hairy goal/target, which is a dream with a deadline.

Begin with the end in mind.

WHEN are you going to achieve ‘that’? Put a date to it. Make it real. Post a monthly desktop calendar on your wall, three months out, with a red-circled date of what you intend to accomplish by when.

You will SEE it every day in your fun work space. And you’ll be reminded of why you’re doing this each day.

Make it a BHAG! Big Hairy Audacious Goal. It must MOVE you, EXCITE you, MOTIVATE you. That’s your call to action.

3. MENTORING

Now, back to the answer Tony Robbins gave Mark Victor Hansen on why his income was capped at only $2M per year.

Tony asks, “The five closest people you spend the most time with, how much do they earn every year?”

“About $1M to $2M a year,” says Mark.

“THAT’S your problem!” says Tony.

If you simply look at the people whom you spend the most time, you can predict your income for the rest of your life pretty accurately. Scary isn’t it? Actually, it’s much more like an epiphany!

To be more specific from the last post, mental and environmental change play a key role here. The fastest way to achieve success in any area of life is to start hanging around, then partner up with those who are already getting the results you seek…those currently playing at a higher level.

This is what I’ve intuitively done over the course of my life. From real estate development to publishing to international finance to Hollywood to Internet marketing and back into Hollywood again, where I want to be because of the greater impact I can have.

Noel Coward (legendary English writer, actor, composer b. 1899) mentored David Lean (Lawrence of Arabia), and gave him his start. Roger Corman (King of over 400 ‘B’ movies) mentored Martin Scorsese and Francis Coppola. Martin introduced Steven Spielberg and Francis to Robert DeNiro, then Francis turned around and mentored his friend George Lucas who mentored director Ron Howard. It’s what Spielberg called “a time-honored tradition and creative renewal” in Hollywood.

This applies to ANY business. Ask, seek, knock, choose the right mentors. You have the power to make your way prosperous. If you don’t have the resources (money) to get started, you need to be resourceful. Be their apprentice, partner, joint venturer, affiliate, whatever form it takes.

If you do NOTHING ELSE for the rest of your days, except follow this ONE blog post, you’ll be way ahead of the crowd, and on the path to great success much faster than most.

“My biggest problem is TIME MANAGEMENT. During the day, I do the
bookeeping for my husband’s “real world” business and I try to fit my
online business into the gaps. Two problems I keep encountering are: 1)
Whenever I think I have everything caught up and can give my business
some attention, I get interuptions and more “honey do” lists, and 2)
People don’t seem to respect my requests to treat my “job” the same way
that they would theirs because “if I’m home, I’m not REALLY working.”

“Didn’t mean to go on a rant there, but I’m really passionate about my
business and it’s getting very frustrating to not be able to devote the
amount of time to it that I would like to. Were you able to work from
home, or did you have to set up an outside office to work from? I’m
starting to feel like this would be my best option.”

Doreen, this is an important piece of the puzzle to get nailed down,
because it separates those who succeed wildly and those who struggle
with the daily tasks of everyday living.

Your environment AND team is critical to your success. For example, I
have THREE young children (all under the age of 10). I’m a single dad.
I work from home, running a successful online business, while producing
films. I go on EVERY class trip with my kids, and even pick them up
for lunch EVERY DAY.

The day I found out Steven Spielberg, while producing and directing
Hollywood blockbusters and running a world-class studio, carpools his
children to school EVERY DAY, was the day I KNEW something had to change
in my life!

Instead of retelling how to take control of that beast called time
management, and how to tame it, let me direct you to my January 1st
post. It gets more specific.

sveg4 asks:

“How do you build a downloadable product page?”

This question can be a big one or a simple one. Let’s start with
simple first…

A downloadable product page is no different than a sales page,
except the links you have on this page allow you to access or download
your digital product.

Where are the products located? On YOUR server, in another folder,
that allows your buyer to access those items.

The REALLY short answer is to go back to ANY download page where
you have purchased something yourself, and see and learn from their
example.

The long answer depends on how much knowledge you already have
about building pages. And personally, even though I can build
a download page, I’d rather have someone else do it. That way,
my time can be more focused on teaching and marketing.

Ray asks:

“I am a beginner at internet marketing. I do not have a website. My
interest is in affilliate marketing. I can use all the help I can get to
start this business the right way. So any suggestion that you could give
me on getting started would be greatly appreciated.”

If you want to become a GREAT affiliate marketer, then you want
control and specific knowledge. What do I mean?

You need to position yourself as the “GO TO” guy for the best
products available for your target market. If I was starting
out today to become a top-producing super-affiliate, I would
specialize in ONE market.

It doesn’t matter which market you choose when it comes to affiliate
marketing — mainly because if there are worthy affiliate products
out there, then we must assume there’s a market for it. (Otherwise,
you’re struggling upstream without a paddle, by choosing a product
to promote with NO market. This is critical…making sure there’s
a demand for your products.)

So, first choose a market you’re passionate about. If you love fly
fishing, that’s your first choice. If you love fixing-up run down
properties, then that’s your first choice.

Second, whichever product you choose to first market, make certain
you have used it, learned from it, benefited from it, and KNOW it.

This is probably the BIGGEST mistake first-time affiliate marketers
make... promoting something they’ve never used or have any clue about.
It’s your DUTY to the know the product you’re promoting inside out and
backwards on any given day.

Otherwise, how will you effectively promote it? What will you do if
someone asks you specific questions? Plus, here’s the biggie…

Is this product you’re promoting even worthy of anyone’s time?
How important is your reputation online or anywhere?

To be blunt here…if you promote crap, you’ll be out of business
overnight. If you promote excellence, you’ll be building a
business, as people will come to expect only the best from you.

And they will VALUE your opinion and recommendation — being the
‘GO TO’ guy for this market.

That’s a start. There’s more, but starting is your first step.

Let me know if that helps, and we can go further.
