How to stop your Internet Marketing Dream turning into a nightmare

 This is the story of how an Internet Lifestyle Dream turned into a nightmare..

Long, long ago.. Actually not that long ago, about 2 years ago .. I had a dream.. The dream of building an automated internet business where I could buy a system, push a button and Millions will jump out of my computer but… here is the warning..

Caveat emptor ( “Let the Buyer Beware ) – When you have a dream, the marketplace is there with a solution and not one solution but many solutions that will make your dreams instantly come true..

And Oh boy, did I sell these solutions to myself and did I spend money buying them..

Affiliate Programs, Product Launches, Lead Generation systems, MLM’s…. The Dream was fuelled by all the marketing and training material provided – “Just take Massive Action” – Boy, did I take action “Massive Useless Action”..

As Jim Rohn so eloquently stated: “ If you motivate and Idiot, You get a motivated Idiot”.. I have to confess, I was a very motivated idiot..

In reality this comes down to the sad fact that if you take Massive Action in the WRONG direction you get there very quickly indeed but even worse if you do not correct these actions, it leads to misery..

So here is what the Internet Nightmare Looks like ( Maybe someone can relate ).

The 124 hour plus work week ( Yes, I read the 4 hour Work week ☺. )

Spending a small fortune on push-button software;

Jumping from Opportunity to Opportunity looking for the “Holy Grail”

Spending a Fortune on advertising; -every possible idea – Name it, I have the T-Shirt

Actually building a list and then trying to sell, sell, sell to them creating no sustainable relationship with them;

Creating Social Media Pages to “Advertise” my products;

Checking email every 7 seconds – ( The 7 second rule – “ If I don’t click on my email every 7 seconds I will miss something important..);

Creating a number of blogs and writing 100’s of blog posts to promote all of these opportunities..

etc. etc. etc..

The Real Effect of this Nightmare was that I spent all my time in front of my computer trying dig myself out of a hole ( while actually digging the hole deeper.. ); My lifestyle was a shambles ( I actually did all this while running another business ), I had not time to spend with my family, my lifestyle was not healthy at all ( sitting in front of a computer day and night drinking coffee..) and worst of all HOPING, DREAMING that things would change…

Reality check: Nothing will change unless I change.. I knew this, heard it many times but this is the problem with a Dream, in it’s nature it blinds you to reality and if you keep dreaming you NEVER smell the coffee.. I slowly realised ( very slowly – remember I was a motivated idiot ) that I am not checking my dream against reality.. Now this is strange for me because in my “real world business” I am a hard sceptic and would never make a mistake like this..but A DREAM is powerful and can blind any scepticism because really, a Dream like this is a wish for what we really want.. Now I am not saying that we cannot get what we really want but to get what we want we need a realistic plan.. A Dream is a “short cut” for the lazy person inside each of us..

So slowly the Dream became a Nightmare until, one day something saved me…

No – not some software code I discovered embedded in the pages of “The Secret” ( A program like this might be a best seller! )… No, what saved me is that I am a READER.. Yes, I have always read and through all this, even though I read much less than I used to, every now and then I read something.. And one day I read Rich Schefren’s, Internet Business Manifesto.. and it got me THINKING.. Fortunately it is still legal to think and when I really started to think about it, I realised what an amazing Idiot I have been ( yes, a very motivated one!)..

I finally saw that I acted like an opportunity seeker online and NOT like an entrepreneur..

My Dream shattered because it was flawed, I dreamed of the easy life ( like the buyer of every lottery ticket..). This is what the opportunity seeker Dreams of: EASY MONEY..

Whereas the Entrepreneur Dreams of Building a Business.. The Opportunity seeker is just that, a seeker and consumer of opportunities, the Entrepreneur is the Creator of Opportunity..

What women want

What women want - Age old question:

Here are the most common questions men ask about women.

- What do woman want from a man?

- How to approach the hottest woman

So let's see if we can answer some of these:

How to Approach Hot Women – by Kimberly Seltzer:

The Ins-and-Outs of Passive Income

Passive income is a credible and viable source of income that is very possible for those willing to make it work for them. By definition, this source of income refers to a steady income received on regular basis that means just what it sounds like. It is income that that takes little effort to earn. The IRS recognizes this type of income, so it is therefore usually taxable. But paying taxes on money that wasn’t that difficult to earn can also just be thought of as a way of padding your own wallet.

Patric Chan - "Mr. Passive Income"

This term also refers to several other types of money that can be earned with little or no effort. A perfect example of this would be owning a property and renting it out. The rent money that you receive from your tenants is a form of passive income. Along with rent money, there are other ways to earn this type of income, the most common one right now being the internet entrepreneurial way. 

The most usable information that can be found about this form of business is that you are able to earn money without having to spend the time to do to. Your time is valuable, and can be spent earning other sources of income; earning income passively is just another way of, well, making more money, easily. This source of income emanates from the fact that you don’t need to do work yourself. That work is replaced by automated systems that do the formulas, transactions, and cash flow processes for you, while you anything else. 

Another way of looking at passive income is to think of it as an investment. You do have to do the initial work of setting it up and making the systems work for you, but once you complete this process, you are free to sit back and watch your handiwork actually go to work for you. 

A great source of how something like this form of income works can be found in Tim Ferriss’ book The 4-Hour Work Week. The title even gives you a sense for what’s ahead, and that concept of working a little at the start to bring in more money later is replicated by the earning model.

Brendon Burchard: – How To Deal With Stress:

How To Deal With Stress:

Here’s how to handle stress and become more peaceful, thoughtful and joyous:

1. Decide NOT to be a stress case. Are you allowing too much stress into your life? Keyword: Allowing. Most stress is not real and therefore you can make the intentional decision to not be as stressed anymore. In fact, most stress comes from one of two things: A false time crunch or making things more important than they really are. The truth is you have more time than you think to become focused, diligent, intentional and disciplined. Realize this, and stress melts away. Secondly, be willing to give yourself perspective. Ask, “How would my highest self view this? Remember: Whatever comes up, you got it. You can handle it.

2. Breathe: Most mental tension comes from physical tension, and taking in little sips of air leads to dealing worse with stress. Do this instead: Take in deeper breaths. Let your stomach out and allow it to fill up like a balloon with air. This will help you calm down. The deeper breathing you do, the more calm you can get yourself. Breathing is life; give yourself the gift of breathing it in.

3. Take A Walk: Leave your office or leave the house and go for a 20 to 40 minute stroll outside. When you are moving and breathing, this helps you open your mind and find more calm.

4. Get Organized: Most stress in our lives could be managed if we just organized it. Sometimes, just knowing that you are planning on handling something tomorrow at a specific time creates peace of mind now. Chunk out the hours of the day where you will move toward accomplishing those things that might be troubling you. When you get organized, you can better handle stress.

One of the most important decisions you will make in your lifetime is to better handle stress. Starting right now, decide not to be as stressed as you were last year or the year before. In doing so, you become happier, calmer and more present in your life and you get to experience what we call The Charged Life!

Trapped in your business?

Stuck? Caged in by your business:

Maybe a short story will help.

Years ago a famous hunter from India went to Africa every year and every year he brought the most wonderful animals and other things back to India.

One year he went on his annual trip and when deep in the African jungle he came onto a place in the jungle where there was the most beautiful parrots he has ever seen. The hunter devised a trap, caught one of the parrots and took it home with him.

The hunter put the parrot in a cage and taught him to speak, fed him and really treated the parrot well. After a few years the hunter decided to go back to the place in the jungle where he captured the parrot. Before he left, the hunter asked the parrot “Is there any message you want to send your friends back home?” The parrot replied: “Tell them I am very happy, I live comfortable and my life is full of joy.”
