The pocket guide used to be a small book that you would fit in your pocket. Today’s pocket guide is your iPhone or Blackberry that literally goes in your pocket. Download this posting to your phone immediately and move it over to your notes application and reference it everyday.

1). Believe in yourself and believe in God to protect and cover you.
2). Don’t listen to anyone who doesn’t believe in you. Tune them out and stop talking to them, now.
3). Never share your takeover plans with anyone that you don’t trust. They will immediately begin to kill your dream because they don’t believe in themselves.
4). Put the right people around you who can help you succeed. Build the right team.
5). Seek out and meet new team members who can advance your life.
6). When times get thin, tough, hard, and unruly, pray and act at the same time.
7). Success only follows action. Always do a small action to build to a big action.
8). Know that huge success is a process of small steps that lead to big ones.
9). Act small and keep your success and money in the bank.
10). When you have nothing and when you have a whole lot of something, help others always.

Making Money On The Internet The Slow Way

This is what no one wants to hear but I’m going to blog it anyway. Making money on the Internet is about the slow, arduous process of building credibility with an audience who does not know you. How is credibility built? This means hard work, dedication, and a commitment to excellence for your product or service.

This is also the slow route and the anti-get rich quick mentality that is in almost every email offering that you see. Making money online is really a result of building up a name that people trust by what you say and by your actions. Tweeting all day, either, does not do this.

Offering solid products, solid advice, and solid service to your potential customers to turn them into paying customers does this. Unfortunately, this takes time because the Internet is full of both good and bad spam and con artists. The only way to stand out from the crowd of mischievous Internet scammers is to post relevant, truthful, and timely information to build trust of your patrons.

There is no silver bullet and no magic wand over building your brand and making money online. Even as an affiliate marketer, this too takes time and you need patience to tweak offers and learn the best place to market and sell for a particular product that you are marketing.

Work At Home The Right Way

Working at home takes discipline, patience, and action. People have somehow mistaken working at home with relaxing’ while watching Maury Povich and television all day while streams of money come rolling in. It’s not going to happen.

[picapp src="5/5/e/6/Balancing_Act_51b0.JPG?adImageId=6618789&imageId=6722917" width="380" height="258" /]

Working at home takes discipline. The United States has the technological infrastructure to easily support this. I used to support an Indian Software Engineering Center for Cisco Systems from my home office in the Silicon Valley. All the developers were in Bangalore, India, I was in the East Bay, and our headquarters was down in Milpitas, CA.

What did this take? Discipline. Working at home can be done easily but people abuse it and watch television while they should be working. Contrary to popular belief, you actually don’t need to wake up put on business clothes just to sit down in your home office. If you need all of this type of false hype to make yourself feel like you’re in business mode, you shouldn’t be working from home at all.

You should be able to wake up and do your work and make your money right at home. There are now Internet Phone and Skype that allow you to dial another computer for free. I suggest getting Skype, GoToMeeting.com, and a nice web cam or iMac computer so that you can hold meetings in your home office without interruption and without fail.

In today’s business world, blog sites are much better to build a website than having a traditional website. A traditional website is one where someone buys a stock template from Yahoo or some other web hosting company and creates a website where the content never changes. This is an EPIC FAIL and will never prove to drive traffic to your website.

[picapp src="9/7/6/d/2009_MTV_Video_d832.jpg?adImageId=6613722&imageId=6457174" width="380" height="570" /]

I highly recommend using a blog site to build your brand. Blog sites are designed to have constant content added to them and make it easy to do this. Regular websites are not blog oriented and not designed to have constant change. They are designed to have a landing page with content that never changes.

There are a myriad of blog themes for cheap on the web. I suggest getting started immediately with a plan. Don’t just launch the blog and write one posting and let it sit there. Be committed to writing every day and changing the content on your blog. This will build customers and build your personal brand. Don’t just sit there. Do something.

How To Make Internet Marketing Work For You

There are three types of Internet marketing strategies that you can use to drive traffic to your website on your way to selling your product or services. Email is the way that people and mainly spammers focus on primarily. I read none of these types of marketing letters. I get roughly 100 emails everyday of which 95 are spam marketing letters no matter how legit. They are from legit affiliate marketers selling anything from online education to Wal-Mart gift cards.

[picapp src="3/b/e/7/PicImg_Sen_Charles_Schumer_4d92.jpg?adImageId=6610514&imageId=3552109" width="380" height="253" /]

We’ve all seen them and they go directly to junk folders and get deleted. It doesn’t work no matter what anyone tells you. I personally tested it by sending out 1,500 emails and not one person clicked on the email letter from our statistics report. Not one. Email = EPIC FAIL.

Internet advertising has grown in popularity and people use Google, Facebook, and Myspace to pay for ads to reach target markets. These are good sources of developing leads and potential sales. Just know that this is costly and if you’re targeting very popular keywords that can run you anywhere from $30 per day to $500 per day.

The third way lies in blogging and creating a website that is already search engine optimized and writing about a subject that you are very familiar with to move awareness of your brand and your products and/or services. I recommend to our clients to ditch the static website and create a blog based website. You must have a website that has constant dynamic changes to it each day or even frequently per day to increase visitors to your website.

How To Become An Internet Millionaire

Making millions on the Internet is just like any brick and mortar business. To truly make millions you must reach millions of people and make a product pitch to them. You cannot make millions unless you reach millions each day. Typically, making money on the Internet is about selling a multitude of products and never just one product. If you have an online store, for example, you need to at least have 12 items or more in your store.
[picapp src="3/1/b/c/Exclusive_Billionaire_Sir_7404.JPG?adImageId=6609223&imageId=5668975" width="380" height="279" /]

To reach those millions of people is not a function of passivity. In other words, you can’t launch the website, dream of millions, and reach 20 people per day. This is direct conflict with your goal. You must leverage the Internet and reach millions of people each and every day via Internet advertising, marketing, and promotions.

Never believe what people tell you when they say that you can just hop on Twitter and Facebook and make money. It takes money to reach this audience. This is the truth. It also takes up front money to reach this audience. You also need patience and to build web visitors. Your website needs to be clean and flow well to attract visitors and keep them on your webpage. It must also influence the visitor to want to buy something now or come back and buy something in the future.

This all means that you need an aggressive plan to either advertise or write a lot via a blogsite to push and attract visitors to your site. And even then, it will take time to build a daily audience of users who come back regularly.

Do People Think You Are A Fat Ugly Transexual?

It doesn’t matter what they think. This was proven on P. Diddy’s Making His Band that I watched via Comcast two nights ago.

It doesn’t matter what they think. This was proven on P. Diddy’s Making His Band that I watched via Comcast two nights ago. Someone who is on the show has all of those so called things against them and they have the most talent of all background singers. I was so impressed that Diddy literally walked over to her and asked her directly what her sexual orientation was. He wanted to hear it for himself. It was very moving that Diddy, Andre Harrell, and Dallas Austin thought she had extreme talent.

3 Power Things To Do At A Networking Event

Do not just go blindly to a networking event and sit there passively afraid to talk. Talk, meet, greet, and close deals. Deals aren’t always about money. The deal is to secure a next phone conference. Go!

1). Don’t just sit there and hand out business cards. Everyone including you throws away business cards.
2). Engage, Engage, Engage. Walk right up to someone you don’t know, give them a firm handshake only and introduce yourself and your company. Ask them their name, their company, and what products and services they offer.
3). Tell them about your firm and ask them if they have time for a follow up phone call next week.

If they say yes, get their business card and give them yours if you have it. When you go back to your office, create a strategy guide that shows how your two companies benefit one another. If there is no benefit that you can see, it will be difficult to talk to them. Networking is about mutual benefit. Even if you want to do business with Turner Broadcasting and meet someone with the Cartoon Network, you need to know how you benefit them and how they benefit you directly in writing to yourself first and foremost.

Do not just go blindly to a networking event and sit there passively afraid to talk. Talk, meet, greet, and close deals. Deals aren’t always about money. The deal is to secure a next phone conference. Go!

Being successful as an entrepreneur truly depends upon how you measure success. Most human being measure success by sales. But sales is not the only indication of entrepreneurial success. I measure success by action. If you make small action every single day you are successful. As long as you’re moving toward your goal in small increments, you are highly successful.

Being a Success by Spinks Industries & Gerard Spinks

Success should be measured in small chunks. Not huge super sized American standards. Make it easy on yourself. Achieve big things by acting small and taking small actions that you can control. It makes it much easier on your mind and gives you the confidence to keep moving forward. Go small! It’s the best way to achieve big results. Small, steady, calculated growth is the new mantra in American business.
