It’s better than winning the lottery because YOU did it. You did it YOUR way, like Sinatra. Feel it. Revel in it. Enjoy the moment…

…because that’s all it is…a moment. The moment you “arrive” is when it’s over. That goal you’ve been planning for, striving for, breaking your back for, is gone.

Here’s the good news…

The ultimate day arrives when you actually realize that life is not heading to a final destination, not even death, but a continuous journey. The question becomes, is it an exciting adventure or just another drab day that exists?

What’s been exciting in 2010?

In the past 12 months, I…

* Saw my eldest daughter graduate to middle (junior high) school
* Enjoyed and deepened my walk with God
* Took on a fitness routine I could actually do in 10 min
* Wrote the outline of my first feature film script
* Read more books than I ever have before
* Made new connections both personally and professionally and unexpectedly
* Took on my first $50,000+ client
* Produced my first award-winning film
* Started my first online marketing newsletter (The Golden Bullet)

Those were some of the highlights. What about you? What was exciting in 2010? I would really like to know.

In 2011 I have even more exciting plans…

* Harken and take action on what God is showing me
* Three supercool family vacations this year
* Write the first to final drafts of my action-adventure feature script
* Open my first recording studio
* Take NetSlingers into new markets and expand the brand
* Sculpt my body, while getting to 12% body fat, to increase my strength, and eat a lot!
* Finish reading one book a week
* Learn Spanish in 3 months (taking Tim Ferriss’ challenge)
* Buy a travel business
* Pitch a very cool project to a multiple hit-TV series producer
* Help a client achieve her first $100K weekend
* Help another client achieve his first $1 million (personal) year
* Go on my first official missions trip
* Produce my next film and submit it to key festivals
* Make strategic connections and leverage ALL my plans

If you saw Chris Nolan’s hit movie Inception with Leo DiCaprio (Cobb), Ken Watanabe (Saito), and Joseph G-Levitt (Arthur), there’s a great short scene that goes like this:

Cobb: For this to work, we’d have to buy off the pilots…
Arthur: And we’d have to buy off the flight attendants…
Saito: I bought the airline.
[Everybody turns and stares at him. Saito just shrugs]
Saito: It seemed neater.

I love that. Apart from committing the “perfect crime” (ha!)…what that made me think about was aligning myself with the right people to achieve a simple and greater result, using collaborative resources.

One Year’s Work In A Single Month

Now, that’s a whole other topic, but that is probably my single greatest goal for 2011…to leverage OTHER people’s talent and resources and do in one month what previously took me a typical year.

Tell me what would you like 2011 to look like. Here’s a free tool that can help you plan effectively and take action on your journey. I’ve been using Mark Joyner’s Simpleology for over four years now.

And the results speak for themselves.

Let the exciting journey begin!

As usual, Jackie Chan shows his mastery of using his environment and surroundings to fight and protect those he cares for. Everything from kitchen ware and a refrigerator to a bicycle and a folding chair was used as a weapon.

And he ALWAYS wins!

Even though it’s just a movie, many lessons can be drawn from it. Namely… What kind of change could you employ to also win at everything you do?

Mental and Environmental Change

I’m right in the middle of my NetSlingers Accelerated Coaching program, and what’s always interesting to me is where people are in their lives and why.

Even though they’ll “say” they need to learn about the  technical side of setting up their businesses online, it’s usually much more than that. It’s their mental game. In fact, virtually everyone I’m coaching has been and are successful in their own right. But something happened along the way…

It’s called life. Relationships both personal and professional gone awry.  Entrepreneurial highs and lows. Financial market woes. Intolerant of mediocrity…

Having someone offer a new perspective, a different viewpoint, a change of environment (whether virtual or real), an insight, a word, a related personal story…
KNOWING your value as a human who is being themselves and offering a better way, a solution to some else’s ails, or addressing a major complaint in an industry…

This is the pathway to extraordinary success for both you and those in your circle… your family, your friends, your clients, your customers, your community.

Choose your exciting path. What do you have to offer? If you’re not sure, ask three people who really know you: “What would you say are my greatest strengths?”

This is your starting point.

As the Canadian rock band, Rush, wrote in their song Vital Signs: It takes “mental and environmental change” to “leave those conditions” and have “courageous  convictions to drag [your] dream into existence!”

What must change today to live life on your terms, in the way you’ve dreamed? Everybody’s got a dream…

I made a decision a few weeks ago to write my first action-adventure script by June 30th of this year. I’ve had this idea for over FIVE YEARS. When was I going to start? I’m committed to seeing it through. I even have a writing coach (which has just become two!) in my corner, as their vast experience is making the journey much more enjoyable and easier than I ever thought.

The process of writing characters is the process of personal discovery. Things I like and things I don’t.

Something must change now for me. What is it? Being exposed to other viewpoints. Gaining knowledge and understanding in areas I’ve never really journeyed before.

That means a mental and environmental change. Meeting and talking with new or different people. Reading and listening to new or unusual things. Working out everyday for just 5-10 minutes using the Five Tibetans. Playing Band Hero with my kids. Spending more time on my spiritual growth. This has made a huge difference. My game is on!

So, what must change for you today?

I’m curious to know and hear from you…

I’ve seen UP, Ice Age 3, and Coraline so far. All 3-D. Then there are the upcoming ones like Final Destination: Death Trip 3D, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, A Christmas Carol, and of course the long anticipated Avatar! Not to mention a bunch from last year too.

Now, here’s the interesting thing… Toy Story and Toy Story 2 are being rendered in 3-D for release in theaters this October for two weeks only.

Why?

In a word: money!

Movie studios are smart. They see a trend, like 3-D, and capitalize on it until…

You might be thinking, “How does this relate to me making money online Andy?” Here’s how… Most internet newbies and experienced ones alike, look for the latest greatest internet craze, then hop on the band wagon in hope of capitalizing off it. Some work, some flop.

I hear this all the time… “Should I do affiliate marketing?” “Adwords?” “Email marketing?” “Video?” “eBay?” “Social media?” All good ideas but something is missing…

Right now, 3-D movies is a rising trend. It’s profitable because it follows the logic that “a rising tide lifts all boats.” So it’s easy to make money when you follow the trend. With a hundred years of experience in making movies and profits, Hollywood knows what to do to make money.

What can you learn from Hollywood to make money online today?

Follow what the smart marketers are actually DOING, not necessarily selling. I learned this not too long ago from an online pioneer superstar marketer, Mark Joyner, when I interviewed him about making cash online quickly.

Within the first SIX MINUTES he gave away that secret. WATCH what the top marketers are doing. (Follow the trend.) And the truth is, you can’t always see what they are ALL doing to generate cash on demand, UNLESS you have an insiders perspective.

In fact, I (and an Internet marketing multi-millionaire friend of mine) will be doing something we’ve never done before…

SHOW YOU THE MONEY!

I mean literally SHOW you, in step-by-step video detail, how to make cash online now!

Stay tuned for the next update…
