How to Develop an Effective Strategy To Reach Your Goals

2007-08-05T10:08:00.000-07:00

By Adam Khoo

You can have all the drive and energy, but without the right
strategy, you will never get what you want. By the same token,
every outcome is possible, given an effective strategy.

For example, imagine yourself as the small business owner of a
fruit shop that makes $10,000 in profits a month. Let's say that
you decided to set a goal of increasing profits to $15,000 a month.

Would that be possible? Probably. You could work a lot harder,
raise prices, increase trading hours, sell on-line or create a
loyalty program.

What if you set a goal of making $3 million a month from your fruit
business? Would it be achievable? Most people would say, 'of course
not, there is no way you can make that kind of money from a fruit
business like that!'

True enough. Making $3m a month from that fruit business is
impossible, if the owner continues to use the same business
strategy.

Yet, if he were to completely change the way he now does his small
localized fruit business, would it be possible?

For instance, the strategy he could use would start by his studying
how to greatly expand his market: he would write a dynamic business
plan, raise capital through investments, invest in R & D to develop
a superior brand of fruit (for eg. Organic certified food products
are seeing phenomenal growth everywhere as people become health
conscious) and widen his range of fruit (eg: offer sun dried fruit
without sulfur, candied fruit using organic sugar, pureed fruit
rolls for kids), support reliable new suppliers, build a franchise
system and then license thousands of business owners around the
world to sell his fruit.

Would it then be possible for him to earn $3 million a month? Of
course it would! With enough flexibility in our strategy, we can
achieve just about anything.

You still wonder how a local fruit shop can possibly expand and go
global? Impossible?

Well, how did a British housewife create some skin and hair care
products in her kitchen using fruits and vegetables and then pit
herself against billion-dollar, heavily advertised international
cosmetic brands succeed nationally and then globally?

She developed the right strategy, which included the right unique
products. This person I am referring to is Anita Roddick who
founded the multi-million dollar chain of Body Shops.

What I have found time and again is that people who are able to
produce exceptional results use different strategies from the
majority.

When I had the opportunity to work with the top 1% of insurance
agents (average yearly income of over $500,000), I found that they
did not just work harder than the 97% who earned less than $50,000
a year.

They used a completely different approach in managing their time,
generating leads, converting sales and creating repeat businesses.

So, taking your cue from the winners, study their strategies. If
you want to be a millionaire, study the strategies of millionaires.
If you want to be a great leader, model the patterns of great
leaders.

Three Major Keys to Powerful Goals

2007-08-05T09:52:00.000-07:00

By Adam Khoo

Are you ready to sit down and start designing the kind of life you want? Before we get started, there are three major keys that every one of your goals must have.

They must be:

1) Be Specific & Measurable

The more specific you are, the more focused your mind and efforts will be. Specific and measurable outcomes will lead to effective strategies and actions. If you want your health to improve, you must set specific and measurable targets such as 'how much weight do I want to lose?'

'What pulse rate do I want to achieve'
'what is my targeted body-fat ratio?'
'How many hours must I spend in the gym each week?'
'How many calories will I allow myself to take in a day?'
'How many miles should I run or how many laps must I swim at each session and how many times a week?'

Under personal development goals, you may want to set goals such as...

'What new languages do I want to learn? And to what standard?'
'How many books do I want to read each month, and in what areas?'

You must also be specific about the time frame you are giving to each goal and list a specific date of accomplishment.

2) Passionate and Exciting

Have you ever been so passionate and excited about doing or achieving something that it kept you awake all night? You kept thinking about it every waking moment? Maybe it was your first trip to an exciting new destination. It could also be participating in an important tournament, meeting that special person or planning your 21st, 30th, 40th birthday celebration.

When we are passionate about achieving something vitally important to us, it gives us a level of energy and focus that cannot be matched. It is this level of passion and excitement that we must have for our goal(s), if we ever want to achieve it!

When people ask me, 'Where do you get the energy and discipline to keep writing books, developing seminars and starting new companies?', I reply by saying that I get so passionate and excited about my goals, to the extent that they charge me up continuously.

I sleep, breathe and dream my goals every single day until they are achieved! Then I set a new one, at a higher level!

When people seem to lack discipline or will power, it is not that they are lazy, it is simply because their goals are not exciting enough for them. They are not passionate about what they want to achieve!

Tiger Woods loves to play golf. Donald Trump loves the art of the deal, Steven Spielberg loves to make larger-than-life movies and Bill Gates loves technology and the idea of shaping the world. Even if they had all the money in the world (which they do), they would still be as obsessed with their goals.

So, you must set goals that you are passionate about. How? Simply ask yourself this question, 'Even if I had $10 billion, what would I still want to do and accomplish? What would I be willing to do for free if I had all the money in the world?'

Write down what you are truly passionate about and what comes from your heart rather than just from your mind.

3) Stretch Goals for Quantum Results

Most people I know tend to subscribe to setting for themselves merely incremental goals. Incremental goals are goals that are slightly higher than what you are currently achieving. For example, if you were making $2000 a month in income, an incremental goal would be $2500.

A stretch goal, on the other hand, is when you set for yourself an outcome that is way beyond your current level of ability and skill. If you were making $2000 a month, an example of a stretch goal would be one aiming for $10,000 a month.

I believe that the most powerful goals you can set are stretch goals. This was a key ingredient that allowed me to achieve so much within such a short period of time.

Use these 3 keys and your goals will propel you towards the success you deserve in life!

34) How To Allocate Your Money for Maximum Returns & Minimum Risk?

2007-07-08T12:46:00.000-07:00

by Adam Khoo

I am sure you have heard of the term 'don't put all your eggs in
one basket.' Even though you are going to learn how to achieve
minimum risk & maximum returns in each basket, it is still wise to
allocate your funds into different instruments with different
targeted holding periods. In times of emergency when you need the
cash, you can be sure that all your funds are not stuck in one place.

Now, here is an important disclaimer. In most financial textbooks,
they advise diversifying your funds into many different investment
vehicles like bonds, stocks, mutual funds, money markets
instruments as well as spreading your money across numerous
different sectors and different countries to diversify your risks.

To an average investor who has low financial competence and needs
the wide diversification to lower risk, this makes sense. However,
while this kind of broad diversification guarantees low risk, it
also guarantees low returns of 5%-8%.

I personally do not follow this strategy. Warren Buffett advises
that 'broad diversification is used by people to protect themselves
against their own ignorance.' If you know what you are doing (high
financial intelligence), you should concentrate your portfolio into
equities (stocks & mutual funds) as they achieve the highest
return.

And you can achieve low risk not by simply spreading your money
around, but by your competence of knowing which funds and stocks to
pick.

So, the strategy I am going to share with you would be deemed
highly risky by the general financial advisors and bankers. Again,
it's because most investors lack the competence to do otherwise.
However, with the strategies and knowledge you are gaining in this
book, you will prove to yourself that it is actually low risk, high
return strategy.

Knowing how to allocate the money you save is the single most
important decision that will lead to your financial goals. You
should take your monthly savings of 15-20% and allocate it to four
money baskets. These are the security basket, growth basket, high
growth basket and the luxury basket. Let me explain each of these.

1. Security Basket (Target Return of 1.5%-4.5%pa)
This first basket is as the name implies, for your security. The
funds in this basket grow just enough to keep pace with inflation.
However, they are there in case of emergencies. If you suddenly
lose your job, experience a salary cut or suffer a setback in your
business, you know that you will have access to these funds anytime
to see you through.

This basket should include cash, fixed deposits/certificates of
deposits, personal housing, insurance & capital guaranteed funds.

2. Growth Basket 1 (Target Return of 8.51%-20%pa)
This is the basket where you build your net worth & positive cash
flow assets that will lead you to financial fre-edom.
This basket is where you put your money into index funds, Exchange
Traded Funds (ETFs) and mutual funds.

You should also divide your funds between the US market and Asian
markets. Although mentioned earlier that Asian equities have
disadvantages, we cannot deny the huge growth opportunities that
Asia offers (especially India and China).

3. Growth Basket 2 (15%-25%)
This is the basket where you ACCELERATE the building of your net
worth & positive cash flow assets that will lead you to financial
fre-edom. Once again, you should not have to touch this money for
five to ten years to let the power of compounding work its magic.

This basket is where you put your money into a winning portfolio of
ten to twelve company stocks. And again, you should hold some Asian
stocks as well as US stocks.

4. Luxury Basket (0%)
Your luxury basket is where you save up to indulge in your dream
assets. This is money that you can afford to spend on things that
are fun like:

Upgrading to a dream house, luxury cars, jewelry, boats and other
luxuries. Again remember from the chapter on 'How the rich manage
their cash flow' that the money to be used for luxuries should not
come from your primary source of income, but from the passive
income generated from your positive cash flow assets.

33) Want Exceptional Results?

2007-07-08T12:35:00.000-07:00

by Adam Khoo

Time and time again, we hear people with good intentions tell us
that we should know our limits. We should not set goals that are
too high to avoid disappointment.

While it is certainly true that it is so much easier to succeed
with incremental goals, if you want to produce exceptional results
you have to use out-of-the-box strategies.

In fact, I believe that when people say something is impossible
it's only impossible because a strategy has not been found yet.
Many of the things around us that we take for granted were not too
long ago dismissed as 'unrealistic'.

Fifteen years ago, if you told someone that almost everybody today
will be walking around with a telephone the size of a credit card
which can play music, take pictures, send pictures and communicate
with computers, they would think you were crazy.

Why is it now a reality? All it took was for someone to think the
'impossible' and then make it real. Everything you see around you
first started as an idea in someone's head. Everything is created
twice, first in the mind, and then manifested in physical reality.

Were the Wright brothers being very realistic when they set out to
build a flying machine?

Not only were they not scientists or engineers, it was also
believed by the scientific community that it was physically
impossible for machines that are heavier than air to fly. Again, by
changing their strategy and doing whatever it takes, they finally
invented the first airplane.

Today, it is still a wonder that a five hundred ton jumbo jet
carrying over 300 people can lift off and fly 35,000 feet above sea
level. If the Wright brothers had been realistic, you and I would
still be taking the slow boat to China.

People that make history are those that set goals that everyone
else had thought was 'unrealistic' and even crazy. By using the
ultimate success formula and doing whatever it takes, they made the
impossible possible.

31) Strategies to Scale Your Value Immediately...

2007-06-25T06:33:00.000-07:00

by Adam Khoo

So, let's now come to consider how you can begin to massively
magnify and multiply the unique value that you have? How can you
create multiple streams of recurring income for yourself?

There are basically four major strategies you can employ to add the
scalability factor to your value:

1) Earn royalties and fees from licensing or selling your
intellectual property
2) Magnify your value by reaching more people at one time
3) Earn recurring commissions from sales and referrals
4) Earn profits, dividends and royalties from businesses

Earn royalties and fees from licensing or selling your intellectual
property

Many people get intimidated by the term 'intellectual property' as
they have a limiting belief that they are not intellectual enough
to create something that is of value and can be sold.

In actual fact, any knowledge that you have or any idea, product or
process that you have come up with that can help people solve their
problems and satisfy their needs is intellectual property.

You definitely have some kind of intellectual property! Why? This
is because unless you have intellectual property, you wouldn't be
able to create any kind of value in the first place. For example,
if you are a lawyer, your intellectual property is the legal
know-how you have.

If you are a photographer, your intellectual property is the
knowledge of photography you have and the pictures you take. If you
are a chef, the intellectual property you have are your recipes and
your method of preparation. If you are a manager, your intellectual
property is your ability to manage people and projects.

License and sell the expertise you have and you can scale your
value immediately!

Magnify your value by reaching more people at one time

The second strategy you can employ to massively scale your value is
by using the magnification approach. In short, reach a greater
number of people all at once. Here are a few examples of how people
can magnify their value.

Increase the Size of Your Audience
Magnifying your Services on the Internet
Magnifying Your Value through the Mass Media
Magnifying the Value of Company Shares through Listing

Earn Recurring Commissions from Sales or Referrals

The third strategy is to multiply your value by earning recurring
commissions from sales and referrals. This involves being paid
multiple times for a single sale effort.

In certain industries like insurance & network marketing, the
recurring commission system is in-built into the compensation
scheme. For example, when an insurance agent sells an insurance
policy, he gets paid a commission.

However, insurance agents get paid additional renewal commissions
for the next five years whenever their client pays their annual
premiums. Although they close the sale once, they get paid over and
over again for the same effort. As a result, their efforts are
multiplied!

Earn Profits, Dividends & Royalties from Businesses

The fourth strategy is to use the power of a business to multiply
your value! When you work as an employee or are self-employed,
there is always a limit to how much leverage you can create from
the time you spend at work. You are constantly selling your
personal time for money. Unless you physically spend time, the
income stops.

When you build a business around your value, you will be able to
provide your services to more and more people, without your
physical presence. You literally multiply your value.

There you have it! Four strategies you can use immediately to scale
your value.

30) The Transformation Of Meaning...

2007-06-23T19:40:00.000-07:00

by Adam Khoo

Imagine that the company you have worked so hard for in the last 20
years decided that it was time to retrench you because they can
replace you with someone at half your salary. How would you feel?

What meaning would you give to this experience?

Most people would feel angry, bitter and rejected. Because it means
that their source of income and security is gone, cut off.

They would feel betrayed. They would feel that they have just
wasted 20 years of their life. They would feel that they are too
old and no longer of value! The meaning they attach to this
experience would put them in a totally un-resourceful state.

What do you think will happen when people in such a state go for a
new job interview? Will they impress upon their prospective new
employer qualities of enthusiasm, passion, energy and drive?

Not likely. Chances are that they will unconsciously exhibit low
self-esteem, bitterness and jadedness.

As a result, it will take them a long time to find someone who
wants to hire them. Even if they eventually find another job, it
may be a part-time job or one of much lower status and pay.

Now, in this new job do you think they will give their all? Most
likely they would be thinking to themselves, 'What's the point? I
gave my best years to my former company, look where it has gotten
me?'

As a result, this person will reinforce the meaning he has attached
to the retrenchment, that it was the worst thing that has ever
happened to him.

At the same time, I have also seen many other people attach a
totally different meaning to the same experience of retrenchment.
To these positive people, retrenchment means that it is the
company's great loss.

It means that they have the opportunity to start a new career or
business in a field they have a whole lot more passion for. It
means that they will finally be paid what they are worth!

And the 'bonus' is that they are getting a great pay-out which will
be the seed money to get them started in a business they always
wanted to be in, but never had a good reason to start. Getting
retrenched also means that they have much more freedom and
flexibility to plan ahead.

For those looking for a new employer, retrenchment could mean that
they are glad to leave an ungrateful company and move to another
where they would be more appreciated, whose corporate culture would
be more in sync with theirs.

By framing retrenchment in this way, these people attach a whole
different meaning to the same experience. They put themselves into
a total resourceful state of possibility, enthusiasm, motivation,
passion and excitement.

They will be driven to upgrade their skills, hunt for new career
opportunities and even start their own business. As a result of
taking all this action do you think they will end up in a situation
that is better than where they were previously?

Of course! I have so many (older) friends who were forced to start
their own business after the 1987 recession and, because of this,
many of them are a lot wealthier, happier and have a greater sense
of freedom and purpose.

One of these enterprising people I know has just listed his
shipping company and is personally worth $28 million. He keeps
saying that the layoff was the best thing that ever happened to
him. Again, the meaning these people choose to give to their
experience was the meaning they created.

Why is it that the same experience can destroy one person and
empower another to a new level of success?

We re-present (frame) things very differently in our minds. Some
people have a pattern of constantly framing experiences in such a
way that it dis-empowers them and puts them in un-resourceful
states. Others constantly frame things in a way that gets them
empowered and extremely resourceful.

So which re-presentation of The Experience is true? Is it a
blessing or a curse? Is it an opportunity or a problem? However you
choose to re-present the experience becomes true for you.

28) How to Increase Your Value (And Your Wealth)?

2007-06-02T23:06:00.000-07:00

by Adam Khoo

Over the last few years, I have interviewed people who were among
the highest income earners in their industry and people who were
the average income earners.

Sure enough, I found that age, experience and academic
qualifications had nothing to do with their price tags. It depended
on how much value they created for their company and for their
clients they served.

I want to give you an example of two account directors from an
advertising agency. Their jobs entail managing the client's
advertising accounts.

A is paid $4,000 per month while B is paid $12,000 per month. Why
is one paid 3 times more than another? Let's take a look at the
difference in value they create.

Account Director A, Age 46. Income $4,000/month

- Waits for company to assign to clients
- Takes advertising brief from the client
- Instructs the creative team
- Executes ads within deadline
- Manages assigned client well
- Creates gross profits of $20,000/month

Account Director B, Age 33. Income $12,000/month

- Actively networks, makes cold calls & sets at least one new
appointment a day
- Actively develops new business & finds his own clients
- Takes the advertising brief from the client
- Develops more marketing ideas that convinces the client to
increase the advertising budget.
- Brainstorms & develop a powerful campaign by leading the creative
team
- Executes ads and other marketing tactics within deadline
- Tracks the success of campaigns & start developing a follow up
strategy to sell to the client
- Uses successful testimonial to secure even more clients
- Creates gross profits of $150,000/month

It is clear why manager B gets paid so much more than A, despite
being so much younger and less experienced. Manager B creates so
much more value for the client, and hence generates a lot more
profits for his company.

Similarly, your income is determined by the amount of value you
create for your clients and your company. You can have all the
experience, all the MBAs, all the intelligence but if you do not
create value, people will not pay a high price. So how do you
create value?

There are only two ways you can create value for your clients. Either

1) Help them reach their goals faster and easier

2) Help them solve their problems faster and easier.

The more you can do this, the more they will be willing to pay for
you!

Similarly, there are only two ways you can create value for your
company. Either

1) Help the company increase sales Or

2) Help the company to reduce costs. This will increase the
companies profits. You must understand that all businesses have
only one major goal, to make more profits every year.

The more profits you can help your company make, the more you will
be worth!

27) What We Focus On Affects Our Results In Life!

2007-06-02T08:58:00.000-07:00

by Adam Khoo

At any given second, there are two million bits of information bombarding us. While it is impossible to consciously be aware of everything, our mind tends to filter all this stimuli and focus on a few chunks of information at a time.

Similarly, when we think of something in the past or something in the future, we tend to focus on certain aspects of the experience. And to us what we choose to focus on becomes most real in our minds.

Some people have a pattern of focusing on pictures, sounds and feelings that put them into un-resourceful states while others generate pictures, sounds and feelings them put them into resourceful states.

How about you? What do you do when you meet with failure? Some people keep playing mind pictures of themselves screwing up. Some people even play it like a bad movie, over and over again in their
heads.

They keep seeing themselves making the bad decisions, experiencing the consequences and they re-play all the negative voices around them. They may play the sound of their boss shouting at them. Then
they run an internal dialogue that goes like this: 'How could I have been so stupid!' 'Why do I always screw things up?'

What kind of pictures and sounds should one play to produce a resourceful state?

Well, this is what positive people do when they encounter failure. They choose to re-present the failure as feedback that will lead them into finding a solution. Instead of re-playing scenes of the event or project that flopped, they focus on what they can learn from it, and how they will do it the next time...to get good results.

They may even imagine themselves succeeding, using what they have learnt from the past experience, and their success would be accompanied by the sounds of people cheering or the boss
congratulating them.

They may play an internal dialogue that goes something like this: 'I'll make it the next time for sure', 'I'll prove that I can turn things around'. Or they'll say reflectively:' Now, what can I learn from this experience'.

Our minds are never still or idle...throughout our waking hours we play mental programs continuously. Now, start becoming aware of the kind of mental program you usually run, when you are about to take
on a challenging task?

For example, just before making an important presentation or writing a difficult report, what goes on in your mind?

Are you one of those who habitually focus on how difficult it is going to be? Do you see yourself being overwhelmed and stressed out? Do you mutter under your breath, 'Oh no! How am I ever going to do this?' 'What if I screw up?' 'It's just too difficult!' You may even picture yourself screwing up or giving up. As a result you
get into a state of nervous anxiety.

But can you choose to represent the challenge very differently in your mind? Of course! You could choose to focus on how easy, fun and rewarding the challenge will be. Confident people will picture themselves dealing with the task or project effortlessly. They may even have an internal voice saying, 'I am finally getting this done! This is so rewarding!' 'I knew I could do it.'

Now, given the same challenge, why do some people rise to it while others feel apprehension? The interesting fact is that most of us do not consciously decide what pictures, sounds and feelings we are going to generate in our mind.

Our mind seems to be on auto-pilot and, within seconds of being faced with a challenge, it will subconsciously, create
re-presentations. And the kinds of re-presentations created are dependent on past conditioning.

Isn't this scary? It appears that we do not have much control over our mind! This is why most people feel that their emotions control them.

Begin by paying full attention to the 'program' that is running in your brain-mind. If you find that what you are thinking of is not putting you in a resourceful state, then change it! In short, consciously change WHAT you focus on! You may keep slipping back, and each time you do, pull yourself up and re-focus.

If you want to have mastery over your mind and emotions, then you must begin right away to control what you focus on!

26) How To Track Your Website Using Google Analytics

2007-05-31T07:20:00.000-07:00

How well is your website performing everyday? Do you track all your traffic activities in and out of your website?

Are you aware that with your web hosting package, it'll normally have a free website statistics available?

However, the information is not always easy to understand or doesn't give you the information in a way that is easy to understand.

Google Analytics is a great application Google provides for free. With just a small code inserting into your webpage, it can tracks not just Google's visitors, but all activities happening on your website. Setting up is simple, all you need is a Google Account and FTP Access for code editing. I encourage you to sign up one as soon as possible, you can do it here: http://www.google.com/analytics/

Here are some guidelines to follow when tracking your web-traffic:

Visitors can be broken down into two groups, fresh and returning visitors. While you may think it's important to get as much fresh visitors to your website as possible, returning visitors are the ones that actually determines if your website is interesting enough for them to come back.

Keywords that drove people to your website. When you know which keywords people look for direct them to your website, its easier for you to optimize your website for a high search engine ranking.

25) Breakthrough Technology to Build Your List

2007-05-29T12:20:00.000-07:00

The people running Giveaway events seem to have a lot of glamour - they must be living the high life, right ?

Actually, having talked with them, I know for a fact that they lose a lot of sleep while setting up their site.

In fact, one guy made such a stuff up on his first Giveaway event that he had to pull his One Time offer from the site - which cost him untold Thousands of Dollars in commissions.

Despite this fact, he still managed to take in over 13,000 opt-in subscribers and made a few bucks from his own gifts that he was giving away during the event.

That guy: Brad Smith, from Easter JV Gifts.

Seriously, that first *shock* experience made him think hard about third party software - and vowed that no-one should experience the problems that he had with the site.

As a result, after 12 months of research and observation, he's built a brand new system, and he's called it Giveaway Manager.

And fortunately for you, he's making the software available for everyone who want to run their own giveaway event.

Take a close look at the videos.

This guy really knows what he's talking about. He has been in the IM Scene for three years now, and has run two very successful Giveaways, despite the technological hassles !

22) Death Of Adsense Arbitrage

2007-05-23T08:07:00.000-07:00

by Joel Comm

When Google takes action, they really take action.

The forums have been buzzing recently with news that Google is in the middle of a content "quality initiative." There's nothing about it in the AdSense blog, but Jennifer Slegg of Jenstar.com has reported that a number of publishers have received emails telling them that they have "an unsuitable business model" and that their account will be closed within two weeks. They will be allowed to keep everything they've earned so far, but that's it.

Some of those publishers have been earning five-figure monthly incomes, so it seems that no one's exempt.

What did those publishers do wrong?

They had either built their site specifically for AdSense or they'd been practicing AdSense arbitrage (buying traffic cheaply from one place then selling it on to Adwords advertisers through their AdSense units.)

What both those practices have in common is that they put the ads ahead of the content.

That's just wrong. Google is making a good move for advertisers in drawing the line.

I'm certainly fed up clicking search result and finding myself on a page full of ad links instead of the content I want. And advertisers are fed up paying for clicks from people who aren't really interested in their services.

Google's initiative might mean a short dip in our earnings, but if it brings more advertisers back and fewer wasted clicks on the network, then that's good for all our futures.

It also means though that if you want to keep your account open, you need to focus on content.

This has been my message now for three years.

AdSense is not a get-rich-quick scheme. It's an opportunity. To make that opportunity work for you, you have to produce content that people want to read. If you can't do that, you'll need to pay someone to do it for you. If you can't -- or won't -- do either of those (and anyone can produce interesting content if they're prepared to put their mind to it), then publishing isn't for you.

Get the content right and you'll get to keep your AdSense account open. You'll also be making the most of a golden opportunity.

21) Give Your Boss The Pink Slip!

2007-05-22T09:42:00.000-07:00

by Jeff Wellman

It was like a dream.

A wonderful dream I'll not soon forget. Everything was happening in slow motion and it felt so surreal at the moment.

Dan, my 32 year old halfwit boss and son-in law of the company President, was walking my way with his eyes locked tight on me, as if he was predator and I was prey.

Finally, after what seemed like ages, Dan arrived at my desk. "Jeff", he said, "we need to talk right now!"

His breath reeked of coffee, a little Egg McMuffin hung off his goatee, and his wicked grin suggested he was ready to tear into me.

Dan took great pleasure in doling out his verbal punishment. He had no other obvious skills, so that was his "baby"... being a jerk and making his employee's lives miserable.

More in this in just a sec...

But first...

I arrived at the office at 9:15AM, 15 minutes late, which was no easy feat for me that Thursday.

My alarm never went off and at 8:30 I sprang awake already knowing that something was not right. When I rolled over and looked at the clock it hit me like a ten ton truck.

It was 8:30AM and I needed to be at work in a half an hour. And it took a half an hour just to get there with no traffic.

I didn't have time for a shower, and I didn't need the morning crew on the radio to remind me about the horrendous bumper to bumper traffic I was experiencing.

But... I got through it and made it to the office about 9:15AM.

You'd think I'd have been miserable when I sat down at my desk. But you'd be wrong.

You see, the first thing I did was hop on the Internet and check my ClickBank balance. I'm not someone that likes to brag, but let's just say that the balance gave me a smile a mile wide.

It was then that I saw Dan walking my way.

Lord he was enjoying what he was about to do. And it didn't take but seconds for him to begin. "Jeff", he said, "we need to talk right now!"

"You were 15 minutes late today Jeff." "That is entirely unacceptable."

"My father-in-law built this company from the ground up and he was able to do that by working hard...coming in early, and leaving late."

"So, perhaps you could pay us the respect of getting here on time and not just strolling in whenever you feel like it." The vein in his forehead was nearly purple and throbbing rhythmically along with his elevated voice.

"If I didn't think you'd slap me with an age discrimination suit I'd fire your lazy butt!" This brought gasps from every cubicle in a 20 foot radius.

Dan was a roll today.

Apparently his McDonalds stop before work had given him the energy he needed to take his assness to a whole 'nother level.

After he completed his tirade, 10 minutes worth, I looked at him and smiled. He asked, "What's with the smile?" "Is that how you respond to me?"

I made sure I had his eyes locked to mine. I wanted this little monster to really feel what I was about to say.

"Dan", I said, "I've been working here for over 20 years and the job you have, you ONLY have because you happened to get the boss's daughter pregnant."

"In fact, your father-in-law promised it to me before you came along." "The only reason you're there and I'm here is because of one misplaced sperm." More gasps from the coffee clutch, and I could swear I heard the sound of someone spitting coffee on their computer...

I went on, "Dan, I would have worked for this company until I retired." "But thanks to you I've found a better way to live." "And Dan guess what... YOU'RE fired."

With that I stood up said one big goodbye to my fellow co-workers, people I had known for years, and proceeded to walk through the office, and right back out the front door.

I could feel the eyes on me and I knew that these poor folks wanted to come with me... they wished they could be doing what I just did.

It was as if I was being freed from prison, and they were left behind to serve hard time.

I got in my car, turned on the radio to my favorite classic rock station and The Who was knocking it out in full force, "Who are you..Who Who...Who Who...I really wanna know..."

As if in reply to Roger Daltry on the radio I said aloud, "My name is Jeff Wellman. I'm 52 years old and I am my own boss."

No longer a slave to the grind, I drove out to the golf course in town and played a quick 18.

Life is good.

18) Consciously Model Patterns of Excellence!

2007-05-20T16:58:00.000-07:00

by Adam Khoo

Some people acknowledge the power of modeling; however, they feel
uncomfortable about copying someone else's style. They say, 'I am
not comfortable with this as I feel like I am not being myself. I
am trying to be someone else instead'.

As a result they deprive themselves of the power of modeling
excellence and producing exceptional results in a short time.

Well, let me ask you a question.

Think about the behaviors and physiology that you exhibit right
now. Where did they come from? Were you born with your gestures,
mannerisms, tone of voice and behaviors? No. You behave the way you
do now because ever since you were a kid, you had been
unconsciously modeling the behaviors and physiologies of the people
around you.

Do you realize that the way you speak or react to things may
sometimes be similar to your parents or your close friends?
And, the mannerism or gestures you exhibit could have come from
people whom you admired (for whatever reason), and unconsciously
adopted as your own. So, you have already been modeling your whole
life, this is nothing new.

The problem is that in the past, you did not consciously model
people of excellence. As a result, you may have unconsciously
modeled a lot of ineffective behaviors and negative states of the
people around you.

For example, if you are a poor mixer or ineffective communicator,
it is because you (unconsciously) modeled poor speakers and
communicators when you were young.

If you are a poor decision maker and constantly find yourself
feeling anxious and lacking in confidence, it is because you have
unknowingly adopted the patterns from your friends or family.
Haven't you ever behaved in a certain way and suddenly realized,
'oh my gosh! I'm becoming mother or father!'

So, isn't it time you start to consciously delete ineffective
models of the past and start modeling and adopting patterns of
people who exhibit excellence instead?

Another point to understand is that modeling is not just about
copying. It is about replicating and then improving on what you
have modeled, or modifying it to suit your personal style.

For example, if you were a woman and you were to model the
physiology of a male speaker exactly, it may not come off that
well. You may have to modify elements of that person's physiology
to suit your personality.

Model the best patterns, combine and adapt them to make them your
own. That is what modeling is all about.

17) Values Your Driving Force

2007-05-20T16:10:00.000-07:00

by Adam Khoo

Have you ever wondered what really drives you in your life? Why do
you do what you do? What drives your decisions and the choices you
make constantly?

Our behavior is driven more by emotions than by logic. What we do
is based more on what we feel like doing rather than what we think
we should do.

Logically, we know that we should take action and
follow through on our goals but emotionally, we may be held back by
feelings of lethargy or even fear.

For example; logically, you know you should not smoke because it is
a waste of money and could kill you and loved ones who inhale your
secondary smoke. Emotionally, you still continue because of the
emotions of relaxation or sense of control it gives you.

More specifically, there are two kinds of emotions that drive us
constantly. They are positive emotions and negative emotions.

Whatever you are driven to do, you do because you want to move
towards positive emotions like happiness, security, power, success
and freedom. At the same time, you are moving away from negative
emotions like fear, depression, physical pain, loss or insecurity.

Why we behave like amoebas!

Amoebas are single celled organisms. When you put food in front of
an amoeba, it starts moving towards it. When you place a hot object
next to it, it moves away from the heat source.

If you were to put food on one side and heat on the other, it would
drive the organism to move even faster in the direction of the food
and away from the heat.

This may seem rather obvious but what we must realize is that we
behave exactly the same way an amoeba behaves. We have to be aware
off the 'food' and 'heat' that drives us constantly.

Think about all decisions people make constantly. Are they
logically or emotionally driven? Why do people get married?

People may get married because they think marriage would move them
towards positive emotions of lasting love and happiness,
companionship and comfort.

There are also couples who decide to marry because they think it
will move them away from negative emotions of loneliness,
depression, and insecurity.

Yet why are there people who swear never to get married? It's
because they have attached very different emotions to the idea of
what getting married means. They stay single because they think it
will bring them loss of freedom and happiness.

These people avoid marriage because they may have seen unhappy
marriages (perhaps their own parents' unhappy union), and they
believe that by remaining single they are moving away from loss of
freedom, boredom and from ugly quarrels and unhappiness.

Do all of us want the same kinds of positive emotions? Do we also
want to avoid the same painful emotions? Yes! All of us desire
recognition, success, happiness, comfort, security and freedom.

At the same time, all of us will do what we can to avoid
embarrassment, rejection, boredom, physical pain and poverty.
However, in our minds, we place very different levels of importance
on these common emotions.

Only by being aware of the values that drive us will we begin to
understand why we make certain decision in the past or present.

Only then will you begin to realize why you are experiencing the life
you are living out presently. This will enable you to find out the
reasons behind you achieving or lagging behind in your pursuits.

16) 3 Killer 'Off Page' Website Conversion Strategies

2007-05-19T10:28:00.000-07:00

by Jo Han Mok

Is this scenario familiar?

You’ve launched your sales page and you are driving
traffic right to its doorstep, but the sales just
aren’t coming in the way you had anticipated.

Things are not performing as planned and you naturally
turn your attention back to the sales page, looking
for ways to improve it.

* You change the header.
* You adjust the headline.
* You alter the color scheme.
* You add another six p.s.’s

Nothing seems to be making a difference in terms of
conversions.

You read and re-read the sales copy repeatedly.

You make edit after edit, hoping to stumble upon the
fix for this disappointing situation.

Adjusting and tweaking your sales page is a great
idea.

Making smart modifications and carefully testing them
might turn what appears to be a loser into an
impressive moneymaker.

However, there are times when the problem isn’t the
sales page. All of the tweaking and adjusting of copy
won’t fix a thing when that’s the case.

The trick, of course, is knowing when your copy is at
fault and when something else is afoot. How can you
tell when the problem is the sales page and when it
lies elsewhere?

First, look at your traffic.

Who is coming to your page and are they “the right
people.”

You need to be sure you are sending targeted visitors
to the page and not just those who might be vaguely
interested in your product.

If you are running a pay-per-click campaign, that is
going to require returning to your keyword research
and digging deep for answers.

If you are primarily marketing via your list, you’ll
need to carefully consider whether list members’
opt-ins really pre-qualified them for this particular
offer. Often, tapping into different traffic stream
can make all of the difference in the world.

Second, look at the competition.

Is there someone out there who is doing a better job
selling the same product or a similar product?

Might your problem be a matter of needing to be more
competitive in terms of price, bonuses or some other
factor?

If you are up against an army of tough competitors,
you may have to find a way to make your page even
stronger or some other means by which to regain an
edge.

Third, consider the product.

Revisit your market research, look at other similar
products and decide whether or not you are really
bringing anything new to the marketplace.

If you are, make sure you are clearly illustrating
what sets your offer apart from the others.

Top marketers will tell you that a good salesperson
can successfully move any product, but the reality is
that sales are more plentiful when you have targeted a
real need among consumers.

Take a good look at some of the factors beyond your
sales page.

They may inform you about why things are not going as
well as expected. In some cases, you may learn your
project’s shortcomings have nothing to do with your
sales page at all.

In other cases, you may be able to use an off-page
investigation to find ways to adjust your offer and
tactics for more success.

It's the simple things like these that can have the
biggest impact on your conversion rate. Get started
today and you’ll be surprised how quickly your profits
begin to grow.

15) The Human Technology That Move The Small Arrow On Your Computer...

2007-05-09T14:33:00.000-07:00

So, have you filled up your rocket's fuel?

You'll understand what I'm talking if you've been following Matthew Glanfield's videos these few days.

Frankly speaking, I seldom see anyone giving away so much information during a pre-launch or introduction stage.

Just imagine you how much more would be waiting for you inside... plus the personal coaching... private questioning... so much more I can't even remember???

Think I'll just go back to watch all the videos one more... or even two more times!

Anyway I think you have yet to digest all the trainings from the videos, so I'll try not to squeeze in anymore things inside your head right now.

But I came across a video today that makes me ponder over how does the small arrow on our computer monitor work when we move the mouse?

Have you wondered how it works?

Now, through the miracle of high technology we can see how it is done.

With the aid of a screen magnifying lens, the mechanisms becomes apparent.

Click on the link below and you will find out.

The image may take a minute to download and when it appears, slowly move your mouse over the light gray circle and you'll see how the magic works.

14) Beginners, Look Here...

2007-05-07T13:57:00.000-07:00

I want you to picture a rocket getting ready to take off into space.

Have you ever seen the space shuttle with the large orange tank and two white rockets attached?

The middle orange tank contains over 500,000 gallons of liquid fuel, while the two white tanks contain over one million tons of fuel.

And you know what? 85% of that fuel is expended within only 7 to 10 minutes of launching!

The remaining 15% is expended in the 7 to 10 days of flight and the return home.

Does it ever feel like starting your business is like getting a rocket ship out into space? Did you realize that it took so much effort to do so?

If it takes 85% of the rocket's fuel to get into space, you can imagine how much effort and energy are required to launch your business.

A large part of that "fuel" is something that has been driving marketers crazy for the past few years. It is:
