Giving Up On Your First Try (Is that You?)

admin — Sat, 09 May 2009 20:56:45 +0000

Getting rich quick is almost impossible, even getting rich slowly is very difficult but the principle I follow is to create as many money earning possibilities as possible. I call these mini-businesses they require a little effort to setup but then become passive income steams.

Of course it’s tough at the beginning working on schemes which may never earn money but with time it works and you start to receive payment notices via email and even checks in the post.

So the answer is yes you have to work really hard but unlike your j-o-b it is possible to “work once get paid many times”

But you have to try, you have to take the first steps, you have to believe; I see so many of the people who sign up to say PTC using my referral link only ever visit the PTC website once! ie they give up straight away they never give it a chance. Don’t be like them if you take the trouble to sign up for something, say to yourself I will stick at it long enough to properly evaluate if it is right for me!

Just How do you Create More Ideas

Make it principle that if you join a gym or a language class that you will stick with it, remember how often you hated something before you like it and how grateful you are that say a parent forced you to keep at it. But you you are independent and the only person who can do the forcing is you!

Personal Brainstorming for Creative Ideas

admin — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 14:48:43 +0000

Whenever you get ten minutes of so of waiting time consider holding a solo brainstorming session. You just need pencil and paper, start writing lists of things to do, ways of improving your efficiency, people you need to contact, anything really to get your creative juices flowing.

In the first minutes you may find yourself twiddling your thumbs but persist and once the ideas start flowing you will find yourself scribbling furiously. This works and I now look forward to holding these sessions!

So next time you are pausing for a Cappuccino in your favorite coffee shop get out pen and paper, turn up your optimism and say to yourself I have ten minutes to think of a brilliant idea which will transform my career, business or relationship and I am already excited about the wonderful ideas I am about to have.

Write them all down the big ideas, the little ideas, the ridiculous ideas keep going you are improving and developing your creative abilities.

De-Briefing Yourself

admin — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 17:22:09 +0000

Create the habit of de-briefing yourself after every meeting, trip, vacation, lecture etc. How did it go, what would you have done differently, what should you have prepared, what did you learn, what do you need to put away, get repaired. Take brief notes or just write a list.

Keep Calm and Carry On

admin — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 15:47:49 +0000

That’s really great motivational slogan “Keep Calm and Carry On” . Apparently it was an UK Wartime Poster that was for some reason never used. OK we currently have a really gloomy economic outlook but really the “Merchants of Gloom” ie the media practically always something negative and doom-laden to report. Really thy would like us to give up and lie down in the mud but no matter how bad things are all you can do is “Keep Calm and Carry On” it is your duty to succeed in what you do.

It is true that many new businesses and fortunes originate during recessions created by people with foresight and optimism to see what new products and services will be in demand in the next upturn.

Our Duty to Succeed

A day after Obama’s inauguration and the world is still in mess, he has to succeed and so do we in our own small way. Ventures and businesses we may start in the next weeks can be the “green shoots” of the recovery. Alternatively we could find a way of boosting our existing businesses.

Many of us will have no choice because if we lose our job in today’s climate our chances of finding a new job are poor indeed.

We can be sure of just one thing and that’s that Internet businesses will emerge even stronger than now.

Somewhere some recently jobless person(s) who hardly knows how to send an email is sitting down at a PC with half an idea of starting a business and will before the year’s out be wildly successful.

Something in his past life, job, sport, hobby will have given him an idea for a Niche or Microniche that he can sell into and now that he’s lost his job he’s finally got the chance to try it out.

I’ve created a website on how you can find your niche even in an area that you currently know next to nothing about it’s called Zulu Principle

Are you a Slow Starter?

admin — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 21:05:05 +0000

Near the top of my list of faults or the faults I’d like to eradicate is that I’m a dreadfully slow starter. I seem to wake up so lethargic, unmotivated. Although ideally we supposed to start with our day by doing the most important job but I just have to settle for doing any job I feel up to. Gradually and painfully I then start to build some momentum. Once again ideally I’d be focused on one thing but I seem to be better suited to multi-tasking. At some point in the day I suddenly notice that I’m flying along and I can start tackling those difficult job, but I’ve sometimes run out of time.

One success guru says that to get rid of “Writer’s Block” an author must start writing which may seem some what unhelpful, but in fact it is the only solution, the trick is of course is to write say a letter to a friend anything that doesn’t carry the burden of “I must/Have to do this”. When half-way through the letter the writer realises that he has written his first elegant or witty sentence his Serotin will start flowing and suddenly writing will become easier. I can also generate motivation by solving a difficult programming problem.

Life’s a Pitch

admin — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 19:35:47 +0000

It is said that we are all marketers, that we market ourselves at a job interview, when seeking a partner. If you are in business you must be a marketer 24 hours a day. The essential thing in all of these things is to have a pitch ready, that ’s an interesting and convincing description of your product or service. A briefer version is called an elevator pitch. Have you got yours ready? Consider going to a speed marketing evening where you get 60 seconds to promote your business to polish your spiel.

What is Success?

admin — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 17:31:37 +0000

Success is when you feel at ease with yourself, when you earn enough doing a job you love to sleep well at nights, when your close relationships are great and you are a positive influence on those around you. When you can deal with adversity and plan for the future.

Success is also knowing that you are firing on all four cylinders, that you have achieved self-control, that you can make yourself do the things you need to do when you need to them.

A successful person is a great time manager, each day having a sense of purpose, each day having goals and structure whether that be for work or leisure.

Success isn’t all about money!

The Importance of Weak Associations for Your Success

admin — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 17:33:34 +0000

Your social circle, family, work colleagues are your strong links these are people you see frequently, the danger is however that can become a barrier between you and new experiences. Weak links are say an old school friend you happen to bump into at a conference or on a flight.

Weak ties can provide you with information that you might otherwise not have come in contact with, something our closest associates, who share very similar experiences, cannot do. Why does this happen? well the Weak Link can help you see perspective, offer unexpected advice, criticism, or suggest people you might contact. They might have succeeded, failed, dropped out, changed religion, they might surprise,embarrass or challenge you, things your strong links rarely do.

I was introduced to the importance of Weak Associations by Tom Butler-Bowden author of the indispensable 50 Greatest Success Books, 50 Greatest Self-Development Books series.
