			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you want to own your own business? Are you tired of searching for a quality business you can start and only finding overpriced opportunities, expensive franchises and get rich quick schemes? If so, then this page might be for you… </p>
<p>Discover how a full time college student broke into the window cleaning business and squeegeed in over <strong>$87,000 in sales</strong> in his first year.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;In just a few minutes time, you will discover how you can easily duplicate his success &#8230;and realistically earn $50,000 &#8211; $100,000 your first year in business &#8230; even if you have NEVER cleaned a window in your life!&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>If you read the headline above, you&#8217;d be excused for being a little skeptical&#8230; a &#8220;full time college kid made $87,000 in one year?&#8221; Sounds like a story you&#8217;d read in an entrepreneur or business magazine&#8230; and a highly inflated story, at that.</p>
<p>Yet, it&#8217;s completely true&#8230;how do I know? Because that kid was me!</p>
<p>You see, my name is Tanner Larsson and in the spring of 2002 I was attending my first year of college and struggling to make ends meet as a receiving clerk for a local construction supply company, while trying to figure out what I was supposed to be doing with my life…Sound familiar?</p>
<p>Now I’m not going to bore you with one of those rags to riches fairytales, because it wouldn’t be true. In fact I was making ends meet just fine, but I was struggling to make enough money to enjoy the kind of life I wanted…you know, the typical American dream…fancy cars, nice vacations, big houses.</p>
<p>I had no idea what I wanted to do other than have enough financial freedom to pursue the lifestyle I dreamed of.</p>
<p>It was at this point, that I, quite by accident stumbled onto the window cleaning industry. In early 2002 I saw an opportunity in the newspaper to buy an established window cleaning company in my area. To make a long story short, I tried to buy the company, but ultimately could not meet the seller’s asking price and the deal fell through, however the glimpse into the window cleaning world was enough to pull me in.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Would you like to know how to make 1 million dollars? There are at least 1 million ways to make 1 million dollars. But you will need to devise an action plan to make it a reality, and to implement that action plan will require some effort, possibly beyond your comfort zone. Let&#8217;s break it down into numbers, so as to put the numbers and the effort into perspective: </p>
<p>You can make 1 million dollars ($1,000,000.00) by selling a million copies of something electronically on the Internet for a net profit of $1 a piece. If the cost to produce, license, or reproduce that product is zero, such as an e-book or an affiliate commission, then all you have to do is focus on mass-marketing your product to a wide enough audience so that you can find a million people to sell your product or service to. If your conversion rate is 1%) that means that your website would need to receive one hundred million clicks (100,000,000), out of which if 1% of them were to result in sales, you would make 1 million dollars that way. But what if your click through ratio was itself 1%? That means that your website would need to receive ten billion page views, out of which 1% would have to result in clicks, which is 100 million clicks. Out of those 100 clicks, 1 million people will buy your product at $1 a piece.<br />
<span id="more-155"></span><br />
Now that sounds all well and good on paper, but generating that type of traffic would be an immense effort. Even if you were to aim for ten billion pages views spread over ten years, that is still one billion page views per year, or 83 thousand page views per month, or over 2.7 million page views per day. Only the big guys, like Google or Yahoo could achieve, let alone sustain, that magnitude of traffic.</p>
<p>Perhaps you could then adjust the price of your product to $100 net profit per sale. With the same conversion ratios, it would look like this: To make 1 million dollars net profit at $100 per sale, you would have to make 10,000 sales. At a 1% conversion rate, that means that your site would need 1 million clicks, which would be 1% of 100 million page views. If you wanted to make your 1 million dollars over 10 years, then you could afford to have 10 million page views per year, or 833 thousand page views per month, which is about 27 thousand page views per day. That is a little bit more doable, but still requires a lot of heavily targeted traffic to get in front of that many viewers.</p>
<p>Those click-through rates and conversion rates of 1% each are extremely conservative. If you have a high-demand product that people are hungry for, and you are able to target your advertising effectively, perhaps you could get as high as a 20% click through rate and a 2% conversion rate. Let&#8217;s see how those numbers work, at a $100 per sale.</p>
<p>$100 per sale to make a $1 million dollars is 10,000 sales. At a 2% conversion rate, that means you would need to receive 500,000 clicks. At a 20% click through rate, you would only need 2.5 million page views. Spread out over 10 years, that is 250 thousand page views per year, or 20,833 page views per month, which comes out to about 694 (let&#8217;s say 700) views per day.</p>
<p>Phew! That sounds much easier! If you can find advertise a product such that you can get 20 out of every 100 people to view your advertisement to click through to view your product page, then 2 of those 2 people should end up buying it. If you can get 10,000 people to buy your product at this rate, you will surely make 1 million dollars.</p>
<p>Can this be done. Absolutely. People are doing it all the time on the Internet. Is it easy? No. It requires a great deal of patience, perseverance, trial-and-error, and fine-tuning of your Internet advertising campaigns to make this happen. Will you make 1 million dollars instantly? Not likely, unless you are starting with a substantial amount of seed money. Can you make 1 million dollars starting with zero money, if you are flat broke?</p>
<p>Absolutely yes! You can spend a couple of hours a day at your local library using their Internet computers for free, and start making serious money. Once you start making some serious profit, you can reinvest those profits to accelerate your efforts to reach your goal of making 1 million dollars.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do not let your worry that you are not a professional<br />
writer prevent you from using article marketing, one of the<br />
most reliable ways of increasing web site  traffic.</p>
<p>You are not writing articles to be graded on like a college<br />
exam, you are looking to learn to implement an article<br />
submission strategy to start creating profits online.<br />
<strong>Here are 7 steps to get you started article marketing:</strong></p>
<p><span id="more-153"></span><br />
Select your target market category,  choose a topic, create<br />
your title, and write your article content, and an<br />
effective resource box with anchor or text links to your<br />
website</p>
<p>Provide good quality, highly relevant content and you&#8217;ll be<br />
helping the search engines, and in turn, you&#8217;ll gain<br />
legitimate back links, your readers will be able to easily<br />
find you, and you&#8217;ll be able to maintain a long term<br />
presence online.</p>
<p>Create a call to action in your article that will encourage<br />
article readers to click on the link in your bio or<br />
resource box that will take them to your desired web page</p>
<p>Create separate web pages for each key word phrase and<br />
optimize that page for that specific keyword &#8211; use a<br />
content or squeeze page with an autoresponder opt in form.</p>
<p>Submit all your articles to a short list (5-6) of high<br />
ranked (PR 5-7) article directory sites to get immediate<br />
indexing by search engines. I recommend doing this step<br />
daily, or at least weekly. Remember search engines like to<br />
see regular updating.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.nowsell.com/web-marketing-strategy/2006/article-marketing-article-new-tips-for-an-old-topic/">Submit selected articles</a> to a long list of 100 -150 (PR 2-5)<br />
article directory sites to generate back links over a<br />
period of time. I recommend doing this at least monthly</p>
<p>Test various approaches and directories and carefully<br />
document what you do and the results you get. Learn to use<br />
your autoresponder to track your results by creating<br />
separate web forms for each of your traffic sources or<br />
article directories.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you deserve to earn a million dollars in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-level_marketing">Network<br />
Marketing</a>?  This article highlights a 1 hour course<br />
taught by a well-known motivator and coach who shares<br />
his secrets to earning a million dollars in the<br />
Network Marketing industry along with some of my own<br />
thoughts and experiences!  Are you tired of hours and<br />
hours of calling leads with no results?  Tired of<br />
getting &#8220;no shows&#8221; to your appointments and getting<br />
rejected constantly?  Are you frazzled and asking<br />
yourself &#8220;What&#8217;s going on?  Why isn&#8217;t this working?&#8221;</p>
<p>Here are ten secrets for earning a million dollars in<br />
Network Marketing.  First, write down your IT, your WHY.<br />
What was IT that got you into Network Marketing?  WHY<br />
did you look at Network Marketing in the first place?<br />
Something brought you here &#8230; what was IT?</p>
<p>1] <a href="http://stevenkovar.com/?p=60">Self Belief</a>: What happened from that IT?  Your self<br />
belief went down and met your self doubt.  You have to<br />
raise your income to match your dreams, not lower your<br />
dreams to meet your income.  This is why 95% of people<br />
in Network Marketing are failing or have failed!  You<br />
must believe in yourself!  You have to believe that you<br />
can do it!  Take the ceiling off of your income, the<br />
income potential in Network Marketing is unlimited!</p>
<p>2] <a href="http://www.familywealthplanningblog.com/2007/06/where-you-are-l.html">Fall in love with your phone</a>: You have to love to<br />
contact people!  Most people don&#8217;t love their phone.<br />
It feels like a 10 ton weight when they try to pick it up.<br />
You need to learn to make the phone your best friend.<br />
Buying leads and loading them into an autoresponder and<br />
never speaking with anyone simply doesn&#8217;t work by itself.<br />
There has to be personal contact involved!  Make your<br />
phone your best friend!</p>
<p>3] Contact and Invite: Make contact and invite, don&#8217;t make<br />
contact and &#8220;fire-hose&#8221; them with information!  Treat the<br />
business with respect. If you treat the business with<br />
respect it will respect you. If you treat it like a<br />
business it will pay you like a business, if you treat it<br />
like a hobby it will pay you like a hobby.</p>
<p>You have to learn to invite people to your meeting,<br />
presentation or conference call.  Be an information tour<br />
guide!  If you are on the phone more than 90 seconds on<br />
each call you are never going to make it!  Professionals<br />
sort, amateurs convince.  Be professional!</p>
<p>4] <a href="http://maryrichmonddesign.typepad.com/mary_richmond_design/2007/06/dealing_with_re.html">Rejection</a>: Get used to it and learn to love it!  It&#8217;s<br />
going to happen ALL the time!  Remember that it isn&#8217;t<br />
personal, they are rejecting themselves.  The people you are<br />
talking with are thinking &#8220;This is too good to be true.&#8221;</p>
<p>We are taught for (at least) 12 to 20 years of our lives<br />
that we are suppose to get an education and then go get a<br />
good job and support our family.  We are simply never taught<br />
the right kind of knowledge to be successful in life!  Now<br />
you are presenting them with an opportunity that can create<br />
freedom for them and they are disapproving of it.</p>
<p>You need to them to get to a level of approval inside<br />
themselves, if they don&#8217;t reach that level you will be<br />
rejected.  You must convert rejection into approval, then<br />
approval into application, then application into agreement,<br />
then agreement into distributor.  Then you teach that person<br />
to model you and duplicate.  Your business should have a<br />
system in place for all of this.  People are not duplicable,<br />
but systems and processes are!</p>
<p>5] Slave camps do exist: It&#8217;s called having a job.  If you<br />
stop and really think about it, by following the standard<br />
belief system accepted by society you are leading the life<br />
of a drone.</p>
<p>You get up, shower, eat, go to work for 8 (or more) hours,<br />
come home when your boss tells you it&#8217;s ok to leave, eat,<br />
and relax a little before bed.  Then you get up the next<br />
morning and start all over again.  Kind of monotonous isn&#8217;t<br />
it?  I was a slave until 2003 &#8230; not any more!  It&#8217;s time<br />
to get your life to the next level &#8230; seek freedom and be<br />
willing to pay the price!  I guarantee you it&#8217;s worth it!</p>
<p>6] <a href="http://fundraisingcoach.com/blog/2006/05/02/get-real-dealing-with-objections/">Objections</a> are awesome: You should be looking for people<br />
who will give you objections.  Most Network Marketing people<br />
tell you to look for people who WON&#8217;T give you an objection,<br />
look for people who will sign up.  This is wrong!  An<br />
objection is simply a question or concern in disguise.<br />
People who give you objections are normally inquisitive,<br />
sharp, positive, aggressive, intelligent people.  These are<br />
the people you want in your business!</p>
<p>You need to recruit up, not down.  This will cause you to<br />
have to go outside of your comfort zone, but you need to do<br />
it if you want to achieve freedom.  Get yourself around<br />
people who are making the big numbers you keep hearing<br />
about.  Don&#8217;t hang around the small fish that are only<br />
making a couple hundred bucks a month.  Get yourself around<br />
the ones making 5, 6 and 7 figures each month!  How can<br />
somebody who isn&#8217;t actually doing it teach you how to do it<br />
for yourself?  The answer is: They can&#8217;t!</p>
<p>7] <a href="http://www.iconnectdots.com/ctd/2007/06/discover-your-s.html">Work with strength</a>: Don&#8217;t waste your time with weak<br />
people.  Work with your strong people.  Too many people try<br />
to recruit easy people so they can say &#8220;I got one.&#8221;  This is<br />
dead wrong!  If they are excellent, go after them.  Don&#8217;t<br />
keep building and building and building with weak people,<br />
you&#8217;ll never get anywhere.</p>
<p>Find yourself strong people and work with them to grow their<br />
business and your business will grow and you will have more<br />
security in the long run.  Don&#8217;t fall into the rut of just<br />
signing up anyone and everyone.  That&#8217;s not what you want,<br />
you want strong people; leaders!</p>
<p>8] Freedom is in depth, not width: Identify your leaders<br />
and work with them.  Too many people go wide when they need<br />
to go deep.  It&#8217;s impossible to support that many people.<br />
Picture your business as a building.  How strong is it?<br />
The foundation on a building goes deep, not wide.  The<br />
foundation for your business should replicate that.  Take<br />
a look at your business, how strong is your foundation?<br />
Will it stand on its own if you turned around and walked<br />
away right now? Map out your group, identify leaders,<br />
replicate your business, find your depth and make it<br />
concrete.</p>
<p>9] Mentors: Do you have one?  Do you have a Mastermind Team?<br />
Write down the 5 people you associate with every day.  Ask<br />
yourself &#8220;Have these people earned over a million dollars in<br />
Network Marketing?&#8221; Do you have even one that has?  At least<br />
one of these people must be a Network Marketing millionaire,<br />
preferably all of them.  These are the people you need to<br />
get around &#8230; NOW!  You must be around people who are where<br />
you want to be and stay around them.  The major reason<br />
people don&#8217;t get into Network Marketing is because of no<br />
time and no money.  These are exactly the reasons they<br />
SHOULD be in the industry!</p>
<p>10] Decision: These are the most powerful 8 letters in the<br />
alphabet when put together.  You must make a decision right<br />
now to change your life.  You must decide to cutoff and<br />
release the past.  How are you going to respond?  Your past<br />
is robbing you of your dreams and of making 7 figures a year<br />
in Network Marketing.  Your past is holding you back; your<br />
job, your associations, etc.  You have to let them go if<br />
they are not getting you where you want to be!</p>
<p>My mentor, Ned Rae, says &#8220;It was your best thinking that got<br />
you to where you are today, obviously that wasn&#8217;t good<br />
enough.&#8221;  Think about that statement, it&#8217;s SO powerful! Your<br />
past has affected your life up to where you are right now.<br />
You must make the decision to cutoff and release the chains<br />
that are holding you back.  You must make the decision right<br />
now to release and cutoff anyone you associate with who is<br />
not making 6 or 7 figures in Network Marketing.  Then you<br />
must take the action!  Right now, make the commitment to<br />
change your life.  Make the decision, take the action, and<br />
don&#8217;t wait any longer!  Nobody can make you do this but you.<br />
Today is the day!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am going to introduce you today to a concept that if you understand and implement, will be the deciding factor of your financial success in your life.

<p>â€œâ€¦there are people who put their dreams in a little box and say, &#8220;Yes, I&#8217;ve got dreams, of course, I&#8217;ve got dreams.&#8221; Then they put the box away and bring it out once in a while to look in it, and yep, they&#8217;re still there. These are great dreams, but they never even get out of the box. It takes an uncommon amount of guts to put your dreams on the line, to hold them up and say, &#8220;How good or how bad am I?&#8221; That&#8217;s where courage comes in.â€ ~ Erma Bombeck <span id="more-137"></span></p>
<p>Now here is something to follow that up with:</p>
<p>According to the Social Security Administration in USA, if you take any random group of 100 people, by the time they are in their retirement age:</p>
<p>Only 1 will be wealthy.<br />
4 will be financially secure.<br />
5 will continue working, not because they want to but because they have to.<br />
36 will be dead.<br />
54 will be dead broke &#8211; dependent on whatever government pension plan is there, or living on allowance from their children, or even charity.</p>
<p>So that is 5% successful, 95% unsuccessful.</p>
<p>Now what makes this 5% different from the rest of the 95%? Or more importantly what makes that 1% people in the wealthy group different from the other 99%? Well here is what its NOT:</p>
<p>Itâ€™s not a great education.<br />
Itâ€™s not a great childhood.<br />
Itâ€™s not a wonderful beginning.<br />
And itâ€™s not hard work.</p>
<p>Ofcourse great education helps, and great childhood helps and a wonderful beginning helps (however typical hard work doesnâ€™t quite help, not directly at least). But these are NOT what make wealthy people. What separates this 1% from the rest of the 99% is a very interesting concept. And that is called LEVERAGE!</p>
<p>This is one thing that only about 1% people in any society understand that other people donâ€™t! This is what separates the rich, from the poor and the middle class. This is what separates the true entrepreneurs from the struggling business owners (with an entrepreneurial fever). This is what will determine which percentile YOU are going to end up when YOU are in your retirement ageâ€¦</p>
<p>Do you know what that word really means?</p>
<p>Here is the simplest definition of leverage that I could find for you:</p>
<p>*******************************************<br />
Leverage: To do more and more with less and less.<br />
*******************************************<br />
Please take note of this and print it out for yourself so you can see it every once in a while: If you are selling your TIME to earn MONEY, you can only sell about 14-15 hours a day and earn only so much (and you are literally selling your life). But if you can LEVERAGE time and have â€œsystemsâ€ set up that run on its own, there is no limit to how much you can earn. Therefore, the true secret to an abundant life is not to get a great job (so you can sell time and energy) but to learn how to leverage your life.</p>
<p>Once again please read the definition of Leverage: To do more and more with less and less.</p>
<p>Less of what? Less time, less effort, less energy, less worry, less investment.</p>
<p>More of what? More income, more results, more value.</p>
<p>So the secret to abundance is once again, to learn how to produce more and more results / income / money with less and less effort and time.</p>
<p>This next part is taken from a chapter from my book Redefine Your Reality, please read very carefully if you want to understand Leverage.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Getting up for work in the morning got you down? Tired of<br />
crowded subways and traffic jams? If you answered yes to<br />
these questions, it&#8217;s time to rethink the way you earn your<br />
money. Trying to fight your way into the crowded subways or<br />
stuck in the middle of a traffic jam can put a damper on<br />
anyone&#8217;s day. There are other ways that you can earn money.<br />
How about a work at home business and <a title="home business tax write offs" href="http://zedomax.com/blog/2007/01/29/blogging-a-tax-deductable-home-business/">save on taxes</a>?</p>
<p>Imagine waking up when you want and walking to your office<br />
in your pajamas. This can be the solution many people have<br />
been dreaming about. The only traffic you&#8217;ll see is when you<br />
have to go out shopping or run errands. Work when you want<br />
and how you want and never be stuck in a traffic jam or<br />
subway again.</p>
<p>Having your own home business means you make your own rules<br />
and only have to report to yourself. If you wake up late,<br />
there is no worrying about the boss being upset or deducting<br />
your pay. Start as early or as late as your please since you<br />
are in control of your working hours.</p>
<p>Remember though, you have to be disciplined, dedicated and<br />
work hard to earn enough income to support you and your<br />
family. If you work hard and you are dedicated you can make<br />
a substantial living with a work at home internet business.<br />
Setting up a little routine and maybe some business hours<br />
may help keep you on track if you have difficulty motivating<br />
yourself to get to work.</p>
<p>Setting up rules and a work schedule</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pickyourtopic.com/business/work-at-home/home-business-ideas-quick-tip-1/">Some important things to consider when setting up your own<br />
work at home business</a> on the internet is to have some rules<br />
and a schedule to follow. To attain maximum productivity<br />
within your business you must follow these rules and stick<br />
with the schedule. There is no one there to report to but<br />
you still need to put in hard work in order to make enough<br />
money to support yourself and pay your bills. Set your own<br />
time that is convenient for you and stick to it. Being<br />
productive and getting the tasks done will be what brings in<br />
the money to live on.</p>
<p>The difficult part may be committing yourself to your own<br />
rules and schedule. Setting up your rules and schedule and<br />
then putting them aside and not following them would not<br />
make sense or make money. Now, you may ask, how do I keep<br />
myself motivated enough to stick to this new schedule and<br />
set of rules?</p>
<p>Probably the most effective thing to do would be setting an<br />
income goal. Each month make a note of the amount of money<br />
you would like to make and put it somewhere that you can see<br />
it every day. This will encourage you to get working and put<br />
in the time and effort that is required in order to meet<br />
that goal. Just think, if you make your goal early you can<br />
reward yourself and take some extra days off to do what you<br />
please.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is not difficult to make money with viral marketing. In<br />
fact the most difficult part is to produce the product.<br />
It is a means of internet marketing that grows<br />
exponentially without further intervention from you<br />
once you have launched it, and it benefits everyone who<br />
becomes involved.</p>
<p>There are a few essential components of an effective viral<br />
marketing strategy.Â  The first is that the information or<br />
service provided must be free.Â  Everybody likes something<br />
for free, and if you provide something useful that is free<br />
of charge, and that the recipient can also give away free<br />
of charge, you have the beginning of a viral system.Â  The<br />
reason it should be free is that it will proliferate far<br />
quicker than if it costs money.</p>
<p>Now think how they would feel when your customers realize<br />
that they can rebrand the product. They can put their<br />
name to it, and get the benefits of any sales made form<br />
it. They are going to try to sell it after all. They<br />
will promote it for you and provide it free to others. The<br />
great thing is that both of you profit.</p>
<p>If you give your book away to only ten people at half are<br />
going to open it since it costs nothing for them to do so.<br />
If each of these five offer it to only ten of their<br />
customers or contacts you can see how it can multiply.<br />
Eventually your product is distributed all over the<br />
internet, you get a proportion of everything sold and so do<br />
they. Not only this, but you also get links back to your<br />
website from them all. That is viral working perfectly!</p>
<p>Nobody loses. Customers get useful information for free<br />
and also the opportunity to add their links to the ebook.<br />
They can pass this on as they promote the product for their<br />
own benefit.</p>
<p>If you give away your product to only ten people free of<br />
charge, they will likely open it since it is free.<br />
However, when they find that they can redistribute it,<br />
they may be even more likely to open it.Â  Let us assume,<br />
however, the low figure of 50%. If each of these five<br />
offer it to another ten, and so on, then even after just<br />
three repetitions your product, URL and affiliate offers<br />
have been exposed to 125 people after just ten emails.</p>
<p>The links in the ebook could be anything.Â  A link to your<br />
website, an affiliate offer, an opt-in form; anything at<br />
all. You can easily work out where the &#8220;viral&#8221; comes in<br />
and just consider this:Â  what if, instead of just ten,<br />
your initial distribution had been to a thousand . . .</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People ask me every day, how do I succeed in my home<br />
based business. I wish there was a simple answer,but<br />
unfortunately there isn&#8217;t.Â Â  However, it is a lot easier<br />
for someone just getting started these days, because you<br />
have the experience of lots of people who have blazed the<br />
trail before you and you benefit from their failures and<br />
successes.</p>
<p>But as in most ventures, you must put your own stamp on<br />
your work and do it your way.Â  We all had to learn that<br />
there is a lot more to it than just putting up a website<br />
and expecting people to line up at your front door. So<br />
to cut to the chase I developed what I call my 50-50<br />
Solution.Â  I&#8217;m sure many other people do this as well<br />
without giving it a name.</p>
<p>The first 50 percent is meeting people either personally,<br />
on the phone and online.Â Â  That&#8217;s what I call belly to<br />
belly.Â  I learned years ago,that people want to do<br />
business with somebody they know and trust.Â  You can have<br />
the greatest product or system in the world, but if you<br />
don&#8217;t come across as their friend trusted ally, they&#8217;re<br />
not going to be your customer or client very long.Â  It&#8217;s<br />
sort of like the famous &#8220;golden rule&#8221; .So belly to belly<br />
still has a place in our fast-paced world of business.<br />
True, you can&#8217;t meet everyone you&#8217;d like to meet in<br />
person, but you can build trust.</p>
<p>However, belly to belly is just 50 percent of the<br />
equation.Â  The other 50 percentÂ  is internet marketing.<br />
Latest figures indicate that the majority of all people<br />
have and know about computers.Â  You may think you know a<br />
lot, but it doesn&#8217;t hurt to take a refresher course at your<br />
local community college to learn the latest in navigating<br />
and marketing on the internet.Â  Then, be a sponge and soak<br />
up all you can about how other people are marketing their<br />
products and services.Â  In this business you are always<br />
learning.Â  I know I am.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, not everyone online is honest, so it is<br />
imperative to your success to beware of doing business<br />
with people where you have suspicions about their<br />
intentions.Â  You wouldn&#8217;t do business with a shady<br />
used car dealer, so if it appears that someone online<br />
is just out to make a fast buck at your expense, steer<br />
clear. That&#8217;s the kind of reputation you want to avoid.<br />
It certainly is true that when you give a little more<br />
than people expect, your returns will be multiplied.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s fast forward a bit.Â  You won&#8217;t be able to do this<br />
all by yourself forever.Â  That puts you in the position<br />
where you&#8217;re going to have to hire other people to help<br />
you in your business.Â  Everyone will line up on your<br />
side when things are going well, but you will find that<br />
those fair-weather friends just might bail on you when<br />
the first bad quarter or month appears.Â  So, just like<br />
any other business when it comes to hiring someone to<br />
help you, go through the interview procedures as you<br />
normally would, with references you can check.Â  The<br />
job-jumper probably will leave you just like his record<br />
indicates.Â  I have a sixth-sense about most people, and<br />
I can say that the positive people I&#8217;ve been drawn to<br />
have stayed with me even in the most difficult times.</p>
<p>Are you afraid to take risks?Â  This might prove to be a<br />
major problem in your home based business.Â  If you are<br />
afraid, and that might take some soul searching, you<br />
might want to reevaluate your entrance into this field.<br />
Yogi Berra was once quoted as saying &#8220;when you come to<br />
a fork in the road, take it&#8221;.Â  Funny as that sounds, it<br />
has a semblance of the courage it takes to take risks.<br />
There undoubtedly is a risk-reward factor.Â  That fork<br />
in the road might just lead to something bigger than<br />
you ever imagined.Â  That&#8217;s where I lean on my gut<br />
feelings or intution.Â  Most of the time they prove right.</p>
<p>Looking back, my 50-50 Solution has worked marvelously<br />
for me.Â  That way of thinking and doing business has<br />
enabled me to have three homes in Florida, dream vacations,<br />
private schools for my kids, and freedome from financial<br />
stress.Â  It all goes back to giving my customers something<br />
of value first.Â  So think about my 50-50 solution: 50<br />
percent the personal contact and 50 percent learning to<br />
market on the internet.Â  Combine them with class and you<br />
have a a winning program!</p>

many entrepreneurs.Â  Learn more about Kevin&#8217;s latest<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 align="center">Shortly after I met my mentor he asked me, &#8220;Mr. Rohn, how much money have you saved and invested over the last six years?&#8221; And I said, &#8220;None.&#8221; He then asked, &#8220;Who sold you on that plan?&#8221;</h3>
<p>It is better to be a lender than a spender.</p>
<p>To become financially independent you must turn part of your income into capital; turn capital into enterprise; turn enterprise into profit; turn profit into investment; and turn investment into financial independence.</p>
<p>Financial independence is the ability to live from the income of your own personal resources.</p>
<p>If you depend on your company to take care of your retirement, your future income will be divided by five. Take care of it yourself, and you can multiply your future income by five.</p>
<p>I remember saying to my mentor, &#8220;If I had more money, I would have a better plan.&#8221; He quickly responded, &#8220;I would suggest that if you had a better plan, you would have more money.&#8221; You see, it&#8217;s not the amount that counts; it&#8217;s the plan that counts.</p>
<p>If you were to show me your current financial plan, would I get so excited by it that I would go across the country and lecture on it? If the answer is no, then here&#8217;s my question: &#8220;Why not&#8221;? Why wouldn&#8217;t you have a superior financial plan that is taking you to the places you want to go?</p>
<p>I used to say, &#8220;Things cost too much.&#8221; Then my teacher straightened me out on that by saying, &#8220;The problem isn&#8217;t that things cost too much. The problem is that you can&#8217;t afford it.&#8221; That&#8217;s when I finally understood that the problem wasn&#8217;t &#8220;it&#8221; &#8211; the problem was &#8220;me.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Bible says that it is hard for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven. It doesn&#8217;t say that it is impossible!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you given any thought about starting your own<br />
home business using the internet? You have researched and<br />
you have discussed it with others who have done it.<br />
Alright, you&#8217;ve made up your mind and you decide you&#8217;re<br />
going to do it as well. You&#8217;re ready to dive in. You&#8217;re<br />
starting your own online home business and this is how you<br />
are going to make your living in 2007.</p>
<p>Alright, you&#8217;ve definately made up your mind and you decide<br />
you&#8217;re going to do it as well. You&#8217;re ready to dive in.<br />
You&#8217;re really going to start your own business and make<br />
your living online in 2007.</p>
<p>Then what&#8217;s next? The first thing that comes up are all the<br />
&#8220;What if&#8217;s!&#8221; Where do you start? What if it doesn&#8217;t work?<br />
There&#8217;s so much to do, so much to learn. Why is it that all<br />
the negatives always start popping to the surface?<br />
The reason!&#8230;A decision without immediate Action! When a<br />
decision is made&#8230; START!&#8230; Do something. Take a step.<br />
Get into Action. You&#8217;ll see all those &#8220;What If&#8217;s&#8221;,<br />
negatives, and fears fade away. Many are looking to start<br />
their internet business for free. They want the business to<br />
be automatic so it takes very little of their time.</p>
<p>The success of your business depends on your ability and<br />
willingness to explore, test, track and to realize it takes<br />
your time AND your money to start or improve any business.<br />
As you take action and move forward, your path becomes<br />
clear. You discover new steps to take and you&#8217;re willing<br />
to take them. Everyone comes to the Internet with different<br />
experiences, education and ideas. If you&#8217;re just getting<br />
started, you must realize that it will take your time and<br />
some money before you get your website, newsletter and<br />
other information just the way you want them. This is part<br />
of the process. The most important thing is for you to just<br />
get started. Take A step, get into action, click on some<br />
links, look, try some of the ideas; buy some programs, some<br />
ebooks. Any of them can move you forward toward making your<br />
living in your own business on the internet.</p>
<p>Move forward keep your chin up. It doesn&#8217;t matter how fast<br />
you&#8217;re moving forward, the important thing is to be sure<br />
you are moving forward. Stay away from get rich quick<br />
schemes.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t wait until you feel that everthing has to be right<br />
before you take action. It will never be. It never is.<br />
You will always be making changes as you move forward.<br />
Remember, As your business grows, you&#8217;re also growing,<br />
and if you keep moving forward, so will your prosperity!</p>
