The Project Marketer Chronicles » admin
Hey everyone,
As promised here are 2 great videos that go a bit deeper into how I do quick keyword research for my Bum Marketing, and how I automate the process of deciding what keywords to actually spend the time writing articles around.
Video #1 goes over the super simple and wildly efficient method I use to make sure I am already matching a profitable product or market to a set of keywords BEFORE I plan on writing articles and attacking the search engines. This is so simple yet very powerful.
Video #2 shows you the tool I use to automate the decision making process of choosing the profitable keyword terms to write articles about, AND how I use it. It also gives a couple great ideas, that when utilized, will allow you to be much more efficient in the article writing process.
(HINT: Your keyword research should take less than 10 minutes and that research time should provide you with enough article topics for a week or even more!)
Finally, here is the link to the tool that automates the entire process of figuring out which keyword to write an article on. No longer will you have to type each keyword into Google and place quotes around it. This tool will automate that process 200 times over AND provide you with an analysis of the keyword based on search volume and competing web pages! This keyword tool will pay for itself quickly.

P.S. In a couple more days I will show you how to quickly get a website up to sell your product via Bum marketing, AND how to write a compelling pre-sell for your product that will generate a windfall of cash and sales from your one article. The way you create this pre-sell site (for free of course) will allow you to outrank any other Bum Marketer out there. In fact, the knowledge I will give you will allow you to out-sell anyone…period. Stay tuned…
Hey Project Marketers…
I am sort of laying out a detailed and hopefully easy to follow map for you all as you begin to put together your marketing projects. As I have already mentioned my income online really only consists of 3 Parts. Seriously, that is it. I went over them a few days back but if you have questions still please email me or post a comment and I will surely get back to you.
As you develop the skills needed to produce income from your Bum Marketing (Part 1) you will be able to take that and invest in more long term strategies for business growth - (Part 2) and your continuing education - (Part 3).
See, in Part 1, you sell whatever people are looking to buy. You are simply helping people buy the products and services they are already looking for and are willing to purchase. Does it take practice to do it well? Yes, of course…but the methods I lay out for the beginner make it much easier and cost effective…essentially $0 investment is required to start earning this way. You don’t have to be an expert and you don’t have to actually know anything about the product or the industry in question but the very basics. All you have to know is what drives the people in question who are purchasing, and a little bit about the product or industry itself…you should be spending more time learning what drives the people to possibly purchase a product in a given niche than the actual product features.
If you learn the basic skills needed to be successful in Part 1, this opens up HUGE doors for you to begin investing in advertising via Adwords or in building highly optimized sites to sell products through the search engines…or BOTH, as I do. Then when you hit on a winning campaign it is simply a matter of scale…you advertise more and continue to make more. You can even begin to add in the pieces of part 2 into this process when you are ready, and make a killing in any niche, or start out with that as a major component. (In other words I meant it when I said what you are learning in part 1 is the root of all SEO.)
In part 2 you are actually choosing a niche that you enjoy participating in…a niche that you enjoy learning about and would like to form an expertise in. And in all actuality you don’t even have to really be a participant in the niche itelf, but it helps to at least have an interest in learning about the topic. I have a few web properties that are like that…where the topic is very interesting, and I love learning about it, but really don’t care to actually be engaged in the process or the niche communities themselves.
But for something that you do enjoy learning about, and actively engaging in, that is where the list building phase comes into play. My expertise is in Internet Marketing generally and lead generation/traffic generation specifically… and thus you find yourself on my list which just so happens to teach Internet marketing concepts in my unique way…the Project Marketing way. If you have not figured it out yet, I follow this 3 Part process myself and you are part of it. Nothing is hidden here.
Part 3 is just my personal choice in ongoing education. I want to be an expert in my chosen field, create a unique presence in this field so I can offer what no one else can, and help others. I am a full-time student as well, because I know there are people I should be learning from…other people who are experts in aspects of Internet Marketing that I wish to learn and excel in.
So why do I lay it all out like this?
You can jump right into everything at once, or you may only be able to implement a few things at this time…maybe only Part 1. Wherever you are at or how you decide to structure your battle plan, I will be there to help you if you just ask. I will even help you decide how to structure that plan if you wish. If you cannot put forth the funds to procure your ongoing education as of yet through Wealthy Affiliate, you will have to focus entirely on what I provide to you. Don’t worry it will be good…:-) I am told that the reports and info I give away for free are better than most things people have paid for over the years.
My goal as a teacher is to not hinder you in any way. So for those who can move at a quicker pace will be able to, and those who need more one-on-one help can also receve it and not feel rushed. This is why I am simply going to label each post I make exactly like this one. You should be able to navigate to exactly what you need when you need it this way.
Project Marketing is the method… Part 1 mentions what facet of Project Marketing the post is about (Part 1 is Bum Marketing), and the second number will designate the order of the posts so you can follow along at any time, regardless of what you receive in your email from me.
I know emails can get lost and sometimes not even delivered…so if for some reason you do not hear from me in awhile, even though I am actually sending you great content, you will be able to check this blog, and see what is new, and KNOW what the post will be about before you even read it by its title.
So lets actually get on with Project Marketing Part 1-1 shall we?
In Bum marketing, the whole thing starts out with keyword research. If your keyword selection is poor, meaning it does not follow the basic criteria I have set out in the free report, then it does not matter how well written your article is or how well you present your “offer” to the reader in your article BIO Box.
Proper keyword selection is everything. It is the difference between an article that makes you a sale everyday to an article that gets a lot of traffic but no sales.
If you do not get listed in Google your article won’t be seen…it stops there. Even if it is seen, if your keyword is not a ”buying” keyword (more on that in a minute) nothing else matters after that point either, even if you are #1 in Google for a keyword that gets 1 million daily searches.
Here is the most common mistake in regards to keyword selection I am seeing thus far, from those of you who have emailed me asking for advice. There is a world of difference between the following two keywords below. One can be an extremely profitable keyword and niche and the other is not.
Keyword #1: how to get rid of belly fat
Keyword #2: how to tie a bowtie
One of these keywords is a “buying” keyword and one isn’t. Keyword #1 is the “buying” keyword and here is why.
Forget that weight loss and personal health and appearance is a HUGE market with tons of buyers for a minute. It is even easier than that. I can write an article that teaches someone how to tie a bowtie and I could do it in 300-500 words. Then that is it. Teaching someone how to lose belly fat, or weight, or better their health, is not a topic that can be settled in one simple article. A person who reads your basic article on how to get rid of belly fat will need to go somewhere to get the full answer, and that “somewhere” is of course the site in your article BIO Box…which could be YOUR list or a review of an excellent product. :-)
Keyword #1 is asking for a solution to a problem that is complex, and that can be approached from many different angles…where people need guidance and are willing to pay for help in deciphering the different angles. Keyword #2 is a simple request for information. No one is looking to buy an ebook on how to tie a bowtie. In fact, they are looking for a 300-500 word article, or maybe a site with a couple pictures to explain it and that is that. Now I may be wrong, but how many different ways can you tie a bow tie…or cook hard boiled eggs? You have to use “buying keywords” as opposed to just “information” keywords.
But you don’t even have to really guess at whether it is a buying term or not. When you get better at this method and your keyword selection you will just “know” but in the beginning a simple search in Google for the keyword term in question will give you an idea…not a perfect one, but a pretty solid idea.
Here is the test:
Go and type the following into Google right now: “how to tie a bowtie”
Immediately, something should become apparent to you. There are absolutely no ads for this being placed in Adwords (remember Adwords ads are generally shown in the right hand sidebar of the Google engine.) It is just empty space. There are no advertisers bidding on that specific keyword so you can generally assume it is not a “buying” keyword. This topic is just not “busy” enough for us. This is not a hard and fast rule but it is a safe one to follow.
In contrast, go ahead and type “how to get rid of belly fat” into Google and see the difference. There is money being spent in this market and it is quite obvious, because there are advertisers all over the place. The page that comes up for this keyword is what I call “busy.” Money is flowing. This is what you want to see… AND as long as the keyword in question also follows our main rule for this method, you are golden. That rule is:
Find highly optimized keyword search terms with 5000 or less competing pages
I go over in the free report two different methods for finding those “buying” keywords. Method One involves typing in a series of trigger words that will hopefully create for you a list of potential buyers. So for example, this is where you are typing in phrases such as, “get rid of” and “how to” and “pain” etc. Then you are allowing the people themselves to show you what it is they are willing to get rid of, buy, what ails or pains them etc….all reasons to buy.
But trigger words do not have to point to problems people have to be profitable. They can also highlight hobbies and activities that have passionate markets associated with them. Below is a list of activities you can search on and come up with possible keywords to target for your Bum marketing:
outdoor, camping, boat, paddle, climbing, packing hike, riding, fishing, cooking, snack, baking, brunch, party, lunch, entertaining, breakfast…Dating, group, relationship, single, romantic, personal sleeping, exercise, walking, playing, running, ski, bicycle, swim, floating, yoga, hockey, footbal, body building, weight lifting, abs, muscles, christmas, halloween, easter, mothers day…. The list goes on and on. You can actually just sit there and start typing out activities, concepts, or literally anything that just pops into your mind and get a HUGE list of potential words to begin research from. It all starts with an idea and as you hone things down I think you will become surprised at the level of money to be made here. Remember…I said there was no ceiling to this method and I meant it!
If you are really not sure if a keyword could be profitable by all means please email and ask me, but DO NOT post the actual keyword in a comment on this blog, as you do not want people to jump on it and render it ineffective. You don’t want someone to steal your keyword from you and go running off with it. Guard them with your life! 
So if you trust me to not do this feel free to send me the keyword in question in an email. I will do what I can to help you research its profitability and teach you how to do it for yourself from that point on.
I hope this post will help you to see a bit better into the heart of Project Marketing. It is a term that is subjective in many ways until you start to dig in and apply the different parts yourself. I also hope that you are better able to see what kinds of keywords you are looking for, and how to determine their possible profitability before you even write the article.
As always, if you have questions please post a comment or email me.
Today is your day…look at yourself in the mirror and recognize your consciousness. Love your life and then rise up and live it fully.

“The Project Marketer”
P.S. In a couple days I will show you how to find tons of profitable keywords, PERFECT for Bum marketing much more quickly and efficiently than the manual methods I go over in my report. I will also show you the best way to prepare for your article onslaught in the search engines once you find those keywords! Stay Tuned…
So you may be wondering what the REAL significance of my 3 Part system is all about…
Well, it is what I did…plain and simple. When I was broke, working a full time job, going to school full-time, and living out of my wifes grandfathers basement with my son Anthony soon to be born, I realized I was going to have to do something FAST! I needed income and I really was dead broke. See, I did not tell my wife at that time but I recognized that I did not want to do what I was being trained for at the University. I felt like I was wasting money on school…and I realized I was only there because it seemed like the “right thing to do.”
So…I started Bum Marketing. The free report you originally requested from me, that you should have in your possession, is how I started to make my first $1000+ per month, CONSISTENTLY. It truly saved my life. It is the ONLY way I know of that a person can begin to earn money online without any capital. I know for a fact that many who requested the free report from me did so because they really do NOT have any capital whatsoever to invest in a business.
Your financial situation is none of my business, but many of the people I have talked to who are using the free methods I give away in that report truly do not have ANY money at all to invest. Some of them come from countries that make it almost impossible to even purchase an ebook for $47 to learn something, as $47 USD is an entire paycheck for them when it is converted into their currency.
Others I have talked to are in incredible debt and feel almost hopeless at times. Some are retired and realize that SSI is not going to be enough, but building a downline in some MLM business is not the answer for them either as they need income NOW! My report is meant to give hope and direction to people in a situations such as these, but also to give hope to those who may be leary about spending anything on Internet marketing because they have been burned in the past.
I understand that position well because that was where I was at in that moldy basement 5 short years ago. I was dead broke, and it was not only because I was paying for school and books, but I was also broke because I had purchased so many Internet marketing products that promised me the world and everything else too! I have talked to many others on my list and I know this is where they are at as well…they may have the funds to invest in their business but they have already done this multiple times and have not seen a return on that investment and are a bit afraid to commit to anything else financially.
I don’t know where you are at right now. But I do know that no matter what your current financial situation is you have to do something. You cannot linger around hoping for some magic pill to fall into your lap that you can take and instantly join the ranks of the successful online. It just doesn’t happen that way and you know it. No matter where you are at there is a place for you to start. So if you must, start below:
Part 1 - How To Earn Money Online Without Spending A Dime
The title of that report speaks for itself. If you have no money to invest or are unwilling to invest in anything at this time (for whatever reason) this is your ticket. This is where you need to start. Not only will you receive a proven system for earning online without having to spend a single cent, you will also be learning the basics of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) which will serve you later on. Thanks to this report there truly are NO EXCUSES why you cannot earn online…NONE.
Part 2 - The Internet Marketing Success Formula
This e-book is free to download and read. I suggest you do at least that. Read it after you read my report above. See, I am jealous that I did not write the Internet Marketing Success Formula as it is so perfect in every way. Once I began to see a return on my article marketing and Bum Marketing, I started to invest in what I needed to grow a real buisness online… What I needed to build a list, have a website, create a presence etc.
I needed an autoresponder, hosting for a website…I invested in training that would teach me how to create and upload a lead capture page to my new website…ALL of that is explained in the Internet Marketing Success Formula E-Book in painstaking detail. I never had it that good 5 years ago…seriously. Everything was so scattered then…I was completely scattered then… and I KNOW that information overload is probably the #1 KILLER of dreams when folks are trying to learn what to do to build a business online.
When you are ready, whether that is now or later, the Internet Marketing Success Formula will guide you. Follow it and save yourself years of stress and wasted money. At least read it and get prepared.
Part 3 - Wealthy Affiliate University
I have purposefully mentioned this resource and community from the very beginning for a reason. Everyone needs 24/7 support and live one-on-one help when they are building a business. Forget these ridiculous coaching programs that people are getting sucked into everyday online…you know the ones where you buy a product and then a special offer comes up where you are told you will be taught by a proven money earner and receive one-on-one training and mentoring…so you leave your phone number and they call you and you find out you can get this great mentoring for $10,000! Yay…sign me up! NOT…
Look, you don’t need it. This is the 21st century and you don’t need that kind of fake-ass coaching from anyone. $10,000 would purchase you several hours of consultation with someone who can help you grow an already successful business to staggering million dollar heights…not help you sell affiliate products…what a joke. They are only going to do for you what Internet Marketing Success Formula teaches anyway. Trust me on that as I had a friend go into a $10,000 coaching program offered by a “guru” online who will remain nameless. Total garbage. I could have taught him it for free.
Wealthy Affiliate gives you Million Dollar Coaching simply by being a part of their community. This is an Internet Marketing University and support center where you will be able to get all of your questions answered anytime you need them, and where you will learn the art of Internet Marketing without the hefty price tag.
The Wealthy Affiliate community houses some of the most prolific and successful affiliate marketers on the planet. These are the guys that are quietly making 6 and 7 figures without all of the shouting. Here you will not only learn THE formula for earning online, but you will never have to worry about being left out in the cold trying to implement things without guidance.
Where My Report teaches the art of earning without capital (Bum marketing), and The Internet Marketing Success Formula shows you exactly what to do once you have some capital, or are already able to invest in building a business online, Wealthy Affiliate does all of that AND holds your hand the entire way through the process…seriously.
These are my 3 Must-Have resources. If you really pay attention to everything I have said here and take the time to READ my report, READ Soren’s IMSuccessFormula report and seriously look over Wealthy Affiliate (and eventually join it), you should see that everything you could possibly need to start and build a profitable business online is there…no matter where you are coming from, where you live in the world, or what your current financial situation is.
You can make money or make excuses…but you can’t do both at the same time.
Remember…
It is YOUR life…
Rise up and LIVE it.
Be well and take care of each other,
Adam Bauthues

So now I want to hear about you. You have read about me and how I view the world on my About Me page. So let me hear about you. How about a fellowship of REAL marketers…a guild of sorts that watches each others backs and actually does something interesting for once?
Let ‘er rip baby! I want to know what you think. Do you wish to join “The Guild?” I warn you before you say yes…it will be a life of total risk and danger around every corner…It is not safe. It is dangerous, but it is good.
Leave your comments…tell me what makes you come alive. Be real with this as anything else but REAL and ALIVE talk is a passport straight to mediocrity and banality. If that is where we are going, kill me now!
Adam
Hey everyone,
I know it took me a bit and I apologize…I had to open up my computer to fix the video rendering problem but don’t worry it is fixed and she is okay now…(my computer that is!)
I finally finished that all important complimentary report for you on how you can start right now and make money online for free! Yes it is true and you can do it. When you read this free report on how easy it is you are going to probably sit and stare at your computer for a minute…maybe several hundred minutes…
This is EXACTLY how I got my start in the world of marketing online many years ago, and I can attest to the fact that many of the big names you have heard over the years also started out this way to either sell their own products or others’ products as an affiliate.
So without further delay:

“The Project Marketer”
I recently shared a very valuable resource with my 200 Blueprint Marketing Group that I feel should be mentioned for everyone who reads my blog. I am very passionate about the subject of brain health. You see, in my industry of home business and marketing, I need to keep on my toes. I need to remember important dates and appointments. I also need to be able to solve problems quickly and in the most efficient way possible.
BUT most importantly, I need the self discipline and F O C U S to achieve anything of value or to make any money online. I have been exercising my brain lately thanks to some wonderful neuro-technology…er…games. I like to call these little tools and exercises Mind Hacks…henc ethis post is in the Mind Hacks category on my blog. I feel these tools are just as important as anything else I use in business.
Yes I have been increasing my memory, my problem solving skills and just about everything else by playing a few games at the beginning of my day. It is a fabulous way to work.
I have been doing this with an amazing online program called Lumosity.
I am actually very proud of my results lately and I would like to share them with you. Please keep in mind that all I have done to increase my BPI (Brain Performance Index) to these levels is to do one session daily in the Lumosity back office area. It is fun and it is making ALL the difference in the world. But you can see that for yourself below.
First, lets define what a BPI actually is so you can understand the data I am going to show you. Below is the information available about BPI, how it is calculated, and how to gage your performance. This information comes directly from the Lumosity FAQ’s about BPI.
What is the Brain Performance Index (BPI)?
Your BPI reflects your skill in each exercise, and is based on data from over 7,200,000 results. An increase in BPI indicates improvement in that activity. An increase of 200 points represents a substantial improvement of more than 1 standard deviation.
How is BPI calculated?
The BPI scales are based on an analysis and ranking of over 7,200,000 real game results. We used these game results to create a distribution of scores for each activity so we know how an individual score stacks up to all others. We then evaluate your game scores and use a proprietary algorithm to derive your BPI. Each time you play, we update your BPI to accurately reflect your current brain performance.
How is Overall BPI calculated?
Your Overall BPI is your average BPI across each of the four cognitive areas: attention, memory, processing speed and cognitive control. This number provides a concise measure of your overall brain performance. If you are weak in one area, it will bring down your overall score, so it’s a good idea to focus on the games where you scores are lowest.
Can I compare my BPI in one game to another?
Yes. The BPI converts scores in very different activities to the same scale based on average scores across all users. For example, a BPI of 400 in Memory Match is equivalent to a BPI of 400 in Word Bubbles.
How good is my BPI?
Everyone has different base abilities, and BPI is influenced by a variety of factors such as age. The primary goal should be to improve your own existing score, using BPI to track your progress. Scores of a few hundred are the most common when you first start. A score of 1000 is excellent and reflects a well-tuned ability in that activity. An extremely high BPI of 1400 means that your score in that game is better than 99% of all other users.
So now that you have the basic definition of what BPI is and how it works, I will share with you how well Lumosity has worked for me and how well it has helped me in my business activities as a result of the constant elevation and improvement.
When I first started using Lumosity, my overall BPI (the average of all major cognitive areas combined) rang in at a low 636. A bit disappointing at first, but Lumosity was supposed to help me with that so I started working on it everyday, doing one session per day. My BPI has been steadily increasing everyday as a result, and right now I have a total average BPI of 1163!
Now I will show you the areas that I worked on….the individual cognitive sections.
Attention
Starting BPI: 481
Current BPI: 1230
Memory
Starting BPI: 491
Current BPI: 949
Processing Speed
Starting BPI: 579
Current BPI: 1107
Cognitive Control
Starting BPI: 995
Current BPI: 1368
As you can see there have been significant improvements simply from playing the Lumosity games once per day! So why am I telling you all of this and what does this have to do with business?
For starters, ATTENTION is needed in business. I already told you the super importance of focus that you will need to succeed with ANY business you build. It is so easy to get sidetracked online with other things…that email with the cool new website promising you riches or the greatest traffic generator the world has ever seen can waste a ton of time.
It is important to improve your visual attention and peripheral vision by training yourself to attend to more information in your visual field. This is important in a variety of daily tasks we do online. A weakness in this type of visual attention has been shown to be strongly correlated with driving accidents and other things that require split second decision making.
MEMORY is very important as well and I should not have to explain why.
Working memory is a key cognitive function that has been shown to be important for a wide variety of tasks like problem solving and language, and it is correlated with IQ.
By training and increasing your PROCESSING SPEED you help yourself in many ways that may not at first seem obvious.
Processing speed can be a bottleneck for other cognitive processes, and improvements here can help your ability to solve problems and learn faster.
And finally, probably my most favorite thing to work and train is my COGNITIVE CONTROL. It is so important for a variety of reasons, many of which, again, may not be all that obvious to you.
Cognitive control is also known as executive processing. This set of cognitive functions is important for decision-making, planning, and suppressing inappropriate behavior. Cognitive control helps align thought and behavior with intentions.
I am not making this stuff up. I have long been a student of the brain and am very much into brain health. I believe with all of my heart that wealth is a product of a man’s mind and the more healthy your mind is, the wealthier you will be. Pretty simple. I am proving that to be true for myself.
I highly recommend this program as something to do every day of your life. It has been said that without proper training the brain actually begins to slow down as early as age 30! I figured I should start right away and I think you should too, no matter your age.
You can try Lumosity for free for 14 days and see how much you can improve in that time…see how much better you feel after using it. I think you will agree with me that it is a great tool and something you will want to start everyday with from this point on.

You will be glad you did!
Yes I did it. I told the truth and I expect you to read it.
Before you can even come to the table to learn from what I am going to teach you here, you need to undestand the vital principles of marketing online, AND you need to know the real reason why you have likely failed up until now.
To do that you need to read…
I just finished writing out the most massive list of things I want to show you how to do through free reports, video tutorials, audios….you name it! It is a good list, but it is missing the most important element…YOU!
So I need YOUR help here. I have some great ideas and I am a BIG believer in teaching in real-time…that means real-time case studies that you can follow along with, step-by-step, over my shoulder. That is the kind of thing I love to do. But I want to know what it is YOU wish to learn…what is it that you can’t seem to wrap your mind around, and what are the main issues and obstacles that seem to be in your way? What seems to be holding you back?
I remember what held me back and the struggles I went through, but that was almost 10 years ago now. Many things have changed on the Internet. I actually feel it is much easier to get started now than ever before. So, why do many find it so hard? I want to know what it is you think would set you up right. What do you need to know to get your business moving in the right direction?
Post comments here and I will start to create fresh content around what you need, not what I think will help. Really…tell me what you need and I will provide as much of it as I can. If I don’t know the answer I will contact one of my associates who does. It is as simple as that.
It is my aim to make you all “Project Marketers”…to do that I need you to interact with me. I hope you will because I am excited to provide you with what you need to succeed online.
Thanks everyone,
Adam
Hey everyone!
I just finished up what I feel is a great primer on solo ad advetising. If you are not including this in your business strategy on a weekly basis you are missing out! Solo ads are a BIG part of my business strategy for a couple reasons…
1) They are cost effective
2) I can place an ad in 3 minutes and go play with my son for the rest of the day
3) They bring me highly targeted prospects and subscribers
There are many more reasons but let me tell you this…
One winning solo ad, repeated across many different ezines will make you a fortune…but you have to do it right and poorly written ads are the norm, not the exception.
You should most certainly download this free report on my solo ad strategy. It is in PDF format so you can print it out and add it to your ever growing arsenal of marketing knowledge!

This is only the beginning of all the free content I have planned for you so prepare yourself.

I feel like waxing philosophical here for a minute… You know what that means!
It is time for another Mind Hack!
Where exactly does success come from? How does one find it and what exactly does it mean? If you have been struggling for a long time with building a business online or even just making a few hundred dollars extra every month, have you ever asked yourself why?
It is way to easy to blame the “programs” or “marketing systems” out there, call anything which does not produce for us quickly a scam etc. Have you ever done this? I certainly have back when I did not yet understand where my true power to succeed would come from.
Yes, there are scams out there that will take your money and run but it is not difficult to shield yourself from these. All a scam company does is prey on the desires that are already within us. They don’t attach themselves to anything new. Those who utilize unscrupulous marketing tactics know that many people will only come looking for help online when they are in dire need of it, or come looking for ways to increase income when they are already strapped with massive debt and don’t see a way out.
In a situation like this it is easy to fall victim to “bad business” and to believe the hype standing before you. The simple fact is that you want it to be true when you read things like, “Make $50,000 per Month Easily” or “Make Money - Do Nothing”, and the list goes on and on with more impossible promises coming everyday.
It is easy to “believe” something far-fetched, especially if we really WANT it to be true. The mind can play tricks on us, but that does not mean we should be wary of our own thinking. In fact, it shows that the mind, what we think is really where the true power lies.
So, even if you do start a business with a reputable company what is it that is keeping you from your dreams? Why does everything seem so hard for you and so easy for others?
Hey, I am not attacking you directly, but I know for a fact that this is a feeling that the majority of people have who call me or email me with their questions about it building a business online.
I am speaking to those people right now. I have the answer to this question and it has nothing to do with learning secret marketing techniques or anything like that. The problem is in your thinking. It is quite possible that you are thinking too small.
Here is what I want you to think about right now. If someone who you know is earning five times more than you are online with their business, chances are it is because they are thinking five times bigger than you. That is it, plain and simple.
You need to start thinking bigger, and this involves not only recognizing that everything CAN be yours, but also that no one is out to get you or cause you to fail. The only wall that stands between you and the success you seek is YOU. Unfortunately some people have built HUGE walls and they need to spend more time bringing them down.
Now, don’t get BIG thinking confused with wishful thinking either. It is wishful thinking and hoping something will be true that gets people into the financial trouble so often experienced online. If you have never even made $1000 in one month, how do you expect to make $50,000?
I don’t care what the website says…there is no website or magical marketing system that will make $50,000 for you in one month if you cannot even conceive it. BIG thinking is not just adding more zeroes to your income possibilities.
BIG thinking is simply learning to focus more on what you want instead of on what you don’t want. Let me say that again….
BIG thinking is merely focusing on what you want. Small thinking is focusing on what you don’t want.
If you are always imagining and picturing in your mind situations you would not want to experience, you are automatically shrinking your mind and your life. What you think about you will bring about.
The power of our minds and what we can do with them is not some fairy tale. It is a power that has been known about for ages by many great men and women of history. Their practice and perfection of mental techniques is what made them great. They were not born great.
So, if you think about what it is you DO want you are adding to your situation and increasing your life. You may not have the things you wish to acquire yet, but thinking about them is what creates the space for these things to come into your life.
Thinking about what you don’t want certainly will not create the space to receive anything accept what you already have. It goes much deeper than this, but in essence, you have a choice every day and every second of your life. You can think BIG or small.
You can focus your mind and intention on the wonder and beauty of life, the things you want to experience, or you can focus on the small things of life, that which you do not wish to experience.
It is YOUR choice and no one can ever take that from you.
Over the next several weeks our Sunday Coffee talks will begin to unravel this mystery of the mind and how you can use it to guide you in all areas. Whatever you want can be yours, and all it ever takes is the smallest of mental shifts. It is not as hard as it may seem.
It is actually fun as you slowly and methodically begin to replace old ways of thinking with new and fresh intentions. Your life will never be the same. With time you will be echoing the mighty words of Emerson…
“Great men are those who see that thoughts rule the world.”
Until next time….
