Do you get distracted?

Posted by admin on 10 June 2008

So far in this series we’ve talked a lot about making lists and focusing- but if you’re like me you’re still going to come up against the problem of distraction…

In the beginning, it might be difficult to adapt to the 5 Bucks strategy.  You may find yourself going half days, even full days, without accomplishing anything.

For example, maybe you come in on Monday with a stack of paperwork piled on your desk left over from last week.

There might be phone messages left on the machine.  There might be merchandise orders (the daily J.O.B., remember) that have problems that have  to be looked at…

Maybe you’re out of stock on a particular item, and you have to inform the  customer, and make a call to your vendor to get more on the way.

Or perhaps the family is agitating for more attention from you? Believe me, I know…

A thousand things can distract you from sitting down and doing what you really want to do, because you have the  habit of doing it, which is…

Update your list and select your 5 bucks project for the week on Monday, and focus on the selected task all week until it’s complete.

That IS your habit, right?

If not, it needs to be, and there are potent ways to cut through the distractions and manage your time more effectively…

Failure is your friend

Posted by admin on 09 June 2008

One of the most powerful things you can learn as a marketer is not something you would ever dream of as a criteria for success…

The most essential thing necessary for success as a marketer is to learn how to FAIL.

That’s right, I said fail! Here’s what I mean:

You will NEVER hit a home run every time you step up to the plate, right? In fact, the BEST hitters in pro baseball FAIL as much as 70% of the time!

The trick is to know when to quit.

As my mentor Dennis Becker says in the powerful 5 Bucks A Day: “Fail Fast”.

If what you’re doing isn’t working, cut your losses, and get on to something ELSE! Don’t keep struggling with a loser…

Fail Fast…and Fail Often. Because if you DO, the winners will come, and there will be PLENTY of them, if you have the powerful secrets Dennis imparts in 5 Bucks A Day.

If you’re ready to become an unbeatable marketing force, and discover more of these incredibly cool tricks then…

What’s Your Number?

Posted by admin on 06 June 2008

Today I want to discuss another one of the powerful techniques I’ve learned from the phenomenal guide 5 bucks a day…

It’s plain in hindsight, but when I saw this it was a real “Aha” moment for me- here’s how Dennis tells it:

Before proceeding with making my list of projects, I tried to define in my mind what guidelines I should use to find and choose a project to concentrate (focus) on.

Then something else hit me. In the past, I had tried to go for home runs with everything I did.

If I didn’t get a home run, I thought of it as a failure, a waste of time, and went on to something else. In fact, when I didn’t get the home run in the first at-bat, I got discouraged and tried to find another game to play.

I should have realized far sooner that nobody can hit a home run every time (or score a touchdown or a goal, depending on your sport of preference), it’s just as true in internet marketing as it is in sports.

What I determined, in addition to becoming more focused, was to be less choosy about my projects.

I made a very crucial decision: No longer would I care if something would be a home run. No longer would I care if a project would make me a thousand dollars overnight like the gurus all said they could do by sending a single email.

In fact, I started to think that an overnight thousand dollars wouldn’t be good enough, certainly if I couldn’t do it on demand.

If I could only make a thousand dollars occasionally, even if once a month, that wouldn’t even pay the mortgage, much less the rest of the bills.

Then it clicked. Ah ha! If I couldn’t figure out how to make a quick thousand dollars, what number could I figure out how to obtain?

My magic number: Five dollars.

What Makes You Fail?

Posted by admin on 05 June 2008

We’ve been talking about Goals and Habits recently, and today I want to flesh this out and delve a bit deeper into why these two things are SO important to your business success…

Remember, the two most important controlling influences in your life are your GOALS and your HABITS.

In the powerful 5 bucks a day guide, Dennis Becker is going to ask you to do some simple things that will be different than you’re maybe used to…

Not difficult at all, just perhaps a different way of thinking about things, perhaps a little  difficult in the beginning to resist doing things you’ve gotten used to doing first thing in  the morning, but it’s important to form a new habit or two.

Remember, if you keep on doing the things you’ve been doing, you’ll keep on getting the things you’ve been getting.

Have you been getting good results?  If so, maybe you don’t need any help. But if you want to change and improve your results, you will need to make a few NEW habits, along with setting a goal or two.

What I want to stress to you is that reading these emails, and Dennis’s powerful report, and just saying “ah-ha, good idea, I’ll try  that tomorrow” will only partly fulfill the objective…

Until you’ve set a goal, and you’re making a *habit* of doing the action steps that we’ll cover later, you won’t get the results you need or deserve.

So to summarize: Once you set a goal, you need to make a HABIT of taking steps  towards the achievement of that goal.

Then, once you find something that works, all you  need to do is do it again, and again, and again, or like Dennis loves to say: Lather, Rinse, and Repeat!

But you’ve gotta make success a HABIT.

Once you have the inside secrets of Dennis’s 5 Bucks A Day in your arsenal, that will become second nature to you.

The Power Of Habits

Posted by admin on 04 June 2008

Yesterday  I shared some of the problems that I’ve had with my business mind set and some first steps to understanding your own pitfalls, along with an incredible resource I found that helped me get on track.

Today I want to get into a couple of first steps from that powerful guide that have turned my business around- and I think you’ll find them invaluable as well!

First, It’s critical that you set GOALS…

We all know that, right? I mean, everyone that’s successful in business will repeat that time and time again.

That’s because it’s an essential TRUTH.

See, there are two controlling influences on your life:

Goals…And HABITS.

The first controlling influence is your goals.

A goal is a desire…a purpose…a destination.

A goal is something that can drive a person to make great  achievements.

It’s not uncommon for someone less prepared, less educated, less  obviously able to make greater achievements than those with the other advantages just listed, only because the less able person has a goal…

And the more able person just wanders with the wind.

The second controlling influence is your habits. There are good habits and there are bad habits. Most of us have both.

Habits are formed over time.

For example you make a habit of driving to work by taking a certain route, while you  could go a different way. You eat meals, habitually, at the same time most days. You  have certain habits that might drive your spouse or your family mad, but you can’t give  them up.

How did you learn those habits?  By repeating an action enough times, it became something that you find very hard to stop doing.

To finish this lesson, and discover hundreds more valuable tips and techniques to controlling your habits effectively to explode your business results, you must grab your copy of Dennis Becker’s incredible guide, 5 Bucks A Day today:
