Celebrate The Progress (even small ones) In Your Business

well,  I am back again from this years Focus Seminar in London UK.

This year I noticed a couple of very important issues, that I want to share with you.

The first issue I’ll cover is about making progress in your business.

After this years seminar I came home with a great feeling – the great feeling of how much I had accomplished in one single year.

Last year, everything that was presented on stage was completely new to me.
Talk about total brain melt down, when I got on the plane back to Denmark. 

This year I didn’t have any problems what so ever to follow the tactics, the strategies and the tips, that was given from all the great speakers. And even better I got confirmed that, I am on the right path, and I have taken all the right steps to move my business forward. WOW what a cool feeling, that is.

This great feeling of my big progress, got even better when I talked to last years fellow marketers .

When I told them, that I had created “selling Scruffys”, my very own product – they all applauded me, and I Got a lot of new contacts, to share ideas, spare, and do business with.

I know you read a lot of sales promotion, where big gurus talk about the morning they discovered a lot of money in their bank account, as the day it all happened to them.

Well, I am sure it is almost the same feeling as winning the lottery – and we can all imagine how great and fantastic a feeling that must be.
Well, I find it even more important to celebrate every little step you take towards your success on line. That will keep you on a realistic journey forward, and it will push you on wards.

If you always focus on “what You need to do” - it gets negative and you see it as a boring task – you need to do.
If you on the other hand challenge your self, maybe by saying “ Now I will build a blog”.
Then See this task “building a blog” like a challenge - just like when you buy a a new table from Ikea – You just start following the instructions, and some of them might not be clear, and you have to try a couple of times, or even ask for help, but you want that table collected, so you keep going .

Implement the same attitude, towards the steps, you need to take in your business, and you’ll surprised what a change of mindsetting  -  can do for you.

Remember you promised yourself to take this challenge , so move on, ask again, move on, try again, and suddenly I got your self a blog.

Celebrate it, talk about it, show it - Be proud - you did well. Next challenge – build a website or Set up an auto responder or ……..and so on. Also be realistic about the time it takes to accomplish a smooth running long term business. Rome wasn’t built in one day Right :-)

In my next article  -  I’ll focus on  how to find the best marketer to guide you.

To Your Progress!

PS: Talk again soon - and feel free to leave acomment - I love comments :-)

The Jam Jar and The Coffee…

The Jam Jar and the coffee…

When things in your life seems overwhelming – when 24 hours per day just isn’t sufficient, when remember the Jam Jar and The coffe….

A professor was standing in front of his philosophy class with some items in front of him. When class started he brought out , without saying a word, a very big and empty Jam jar and started to fill it with golf balls.
When he had done that, he asked the class if the jar was full and they all agreed that it was now full.

Then the professor pulled out a box of pebbles and began to pour them into the jar.
He shaked the jar gently so the pebbles spreaded between the golf balls. Afterwards he then asked the class again if the jar was now full. The class agreed that it was now full.
After this the professor brought out a box of sand and started to pour it into the jar. The sand filled out the remaining cavities in the jar.
Again he asked the class if the jar was now full. The class answered unanimously “YES”.
The professor then made two cups of coffee and poured it into the jar.
Which effectively filled out the cavities between the grains of sand.
The students laughed……

“Alright” said the professor, when the laughter calmed down.

“ Now imagine that this jar represent your life. The golf balls are the important things – your family, partner, children, health, friends and favorite passions – the things that even though all other things in your life got lost and only these things were left - still would make your life complete. The pebbles are the other things, that matters – such as job, house, car etc. The sand is all the other little things.”
The Professor went on “ If you pour the sand into the jar first, there will be no room for all the golf balls nor the pebbles.
The same applies in life. If you spend all your energy and time on the little insignificant things, you will never have room for the things, that are the most important for you.
Pay attention on the things , that are critical for your happiness. Play with your children, take take of your health, invite your partner out to a dinner. Take another round at the golf course.
There will always be time to clean the house and fix the drains. Take care of the golf balls first – the things that really matters. Get control of the priorities – the rest is nothing but sand.”
One of the students raised his hand and asked what the coffee represented.
The professor smiled ”I am glad you are asking. It is just to show you that no matter how full your life seems to be, there is always room for a cup of coffee with a friend.
Wise words if you ask me – what do you think ?

Do You want To Meet Me in Real Life?

For the second year in a row I will be attending the UK edition of the Focus Marketing Seminar.

“Is it worth the money” You may ask?

OH - Yes Indeed - Its the best investment you can make in your business -

In fact its a sure winner !

Not Many Internet marketers have a lot of contact with other marketers on a daily basis.

Imagine being surrounded by like minded people, for 3 full days and nights!

The Focus Marketing Seminar is an excellent opportunity to do just that.

The advantages in terms of what you can learn, and the contacts you can make in Live Events are priceless.

If you are worried that people will not talk to you because you are all new to Internet Marketing,
then you need not worry -

Everybody respects you for attending the seminar - That proves you are a serious marketer and that you take action to become successfull!

Who knows - Just because you are new or you just haven’t had the big success YET - doesn’t mean you don’t have any idea, and maybe you just need an experienced partner to help you carry it out -

Or maybe you have certain skills that could be very usefull for a Marketer in his project, to the success for both of you!

Also I’ll like to mention that a lot of of the attendees I spoke to last year, were still having a day-job and managing their home business in their sparetime - eager to take the next needed steps to progress in their business.

Going to a seminar is the biggest step forward in your business you can take, if you ask me.

You get the chance to find Jv partners without much effort - If you have a good chat with somebody and you exchange businesscards, then its much easier to ask them to become become JV partners later on -

Everybody needs Jv partners, to speed up their business. Best part is that everybody at these seminars knows this, and everybody is open for new businesses.

Have you noticed how many products that are being launched by several people together!
Many of these partnerships were born on Live events - Often in the bar :-)

Just come as you are - be open minded and don’t be afraid to hang out in the bar - That’s where friendships are being made - And Internet friends are the best JV partners, you can ever wish for.

I don’t think there are any other sure methods that can propel your home business forward faster, than meeting and starting business relationships with other internet marketers.

Actually I got the idea of making my SellingScruffys collection, talking to copy writers complaining that they couldn’t find such a Scruffy package, on the entire internet! Bingo - A Great idea, served on a silverplate to me, last year at the focus Marketing seminar…!!!

Maybe now you see why I am so enthusiastic about it.

I can’t wait to see, what will happen this year.

I strongly encourage you to attend this years UK Focus Marketing Seminar on October 17-19. It’s a great event, in a very relaxed atmosphere, And of course, it would be great to meet You in person.

If you spot me, Do come over and say Hi - I’ll be happy to meet you!

I sincerely hope to see you!

7 steps to a solid monthly internet income

7 steps to a solid monthly internet income

There are literally thousands of ways to make money
online. One of the most solid business models to ensure a
continual monthly income is a subscription based membership
website.

Members pay a monthly fee for access to a private member’s
area where they can access your information. You can
provide a variety of information in as many formats as you
choose. You can offer articles, reports, audios, videos,
teleseminars, downloads, software, almost anything you can
imagine.

Even if you offer a low cost membership, it only takes a
few members to make a comfortable income. A membership
website that charges $9.97 a month, only needs 300 members
to generate $3,000 every month.

And setting up a membership website has become remarkably
simple with advances in software that can be set up in a
couple hours, even by the average non-technical person.

It’s just that simple. In the beginning, it takes some
time and energy to put the whole project together, but then
it’s simply a matter of updating, maintaining and marketing.
So let’s look at the steps to put together a successful
membership website.

Step 1

Choose a market. This is critical. You should look for a
market you’re going to enjoy working in as well as a
market people spend money in. People spend money where they
are passionate. Markets like sports, pets, business, and
hobbies all make hot markets to launch a membership website

Step 2

Test the market. Visit forums and chat rooms and ask
people if they know of any good websites that offer up-to-date
information.

Step 3

Use your research from Step 2 to develop a rough outline
of what your website will offer your members

Step 4

Write a sales letter and have the graphics professionally
designed. If you can’t do this yourself, hire a freelancer
from elance.com or guru.com

Step 5

Set up the membership software to run the site.

Step 6

Populate the site with your content

Step 7

Market your site and let the cash flow begin.

7 simple steps and you’ve got a membership website that
will generate a solid monthly cash flow for you. Each step
takes some effort and energy, but you can have your first
membership website completely set up and running in less
than a month. Then you can repeat the process as many
times as you like to increase your membership portfolio and
your monthly income.

UPDATE

For 7 days, you can bypass the whole membership website
creation process. Get your complete membership website,
ready to upload to your server today. You can have a fully
functional membership website ready to take orders in the
next 2 hours. It’s only available for 7 days, so make sure
you visit today.

Enjoy your day!

What Happpens when 100.000 people party together?

Well this most obvious answer would be: Lots of injured , raped and beaten up people, or rather just another Saturday night in town right ?

Normally I would not even consider to participate in an event like that - except when it comes to music festivals…….

I honestly don’t know why people are so peace-full at heart, friendly, tolerant and very help-full towards each other, but they are.

I have been going to festivals for more than 25 years ( not in a row though) and its the same picture, year after year.

The minute people enter the camping area of the festival they start lightning up, realizing that for the next 4 days, they don’t have to worry about a thing. Its like a sanctuary from the daily rat race.  The only thing they have to take care of is having a lot of fun. You meet people from all over the world, all there for the same reason: Listening to some great music, talk to a lot of different people and simply just party.

Everybody has the same good intentions, and nobody wants any sort of trouble. I have never experienced any sort of fights in all the years I have participated in festivals.

Its a very unique and Divine experience to witness so many people with such a peace-full, positive mindset.

It reminds me of going to Seminars for Internet Marketers. If you haven’t been on a seminar yet, try as hard as you can to save up money to go. Its also a unique and Divine experience.

Everybody is there for the same reason: We all want to grow and learn more about Internet marketing. We also want to meet new partners for joint ventures, and good friends to help and be helped by.

And thats exactly what happens: Everybody is very open minded and extremely help-full. You can ask anybody any question, you might have and nobody thinks you are a silly fool, because they have all had exactly the same question you just asked them.

I strongly advice you to consider going to a seminar for a lots of reason. Just listen to my first seminar story:

The minute I had signed up and paid my ticket to my first seminar , I made my self  a promise:

If I didn’t go to that seminar, my IM business would be over.

I started working so much harder, I wanted my first membersite to be finished, so I could talk about it at the seminar and then I also wanted to meet my big hero Simon Hodgkinson and not be completely without a plan if I ever got the chance to speak with him.

I was almost in tears when I arrived at the hotel in the UK. I am Danish, in case you didn’t know and I knew absolutely not a soul at that congress.

Well, long story short: I had the best weekend in a very long time. I met only like minded people, learned a ton of new valuable business ideas to go home and implement and I got a bunch of very loyal and beautiful friends.

Finally I did get to meet Simon Hodgkinson. I talked to him about an idea, that I had, and he decided to guide me through the needed steps to create a product from scratch. He guided me all the long way, and helped me avoid all the mistakes, he had made.

That’s how I came along creating  Selling Scruffys.

End of seminar story - Not Bad Huh :-)

So Don’t hesitate to go to IM seminars  - It might change your life, just as it changed mine.  Only one final advise if you decide to go:

Go with an open mind, just relax and remember, you are just as important to every marketer in the room as they are to you.

Don’t be too busy taking notes and don’t go to bed too early - its AFTER diner, in the bar, that the reel business starts - namely by getting to know each other. You might be a bit hung over the next day but you go home with partners, Jvs, and mentors, ready to help you - Why you may ask?

Simply because they know you , trust you and like you. You see hy it is SO important to be you - Not a slick marketer pretending to be extremely successfull. 

Its quite funny:  I know quite a few of the most famous marketers, and they are ALL, very humble and gratefull about their success and they really want to pass it on to new eager marketers, who are willing to take action.

Enjoy :-))

Selling Scruffys - Like adding Super Glue To Your Salespages

Today I want to show You a video of my newest product - The Selling Scruffys.

I am so proud of Selling Scruffys - For two reasons:
Its a top quality product that really helps you transform a boring ordinary salespage into a “personalized” attention grabbing salespage. It really is like adding super Glue To Your Salespage.

I knew from the offline marketing world that handwritten scruffys or doodles or scribbles if you like, are one of the most important methods in marketing to make your prospect feel a relationship with you and build a level of trust within you, to buy from you.

Well I wanted my salespage that I just created to have some of these scruffys - But I found out that a package of scruffys didn’t exist on the Internet. I couldn’t believe it - Because every time I saw a salespage from one of the big gurus - It always had a couple of very attention grabbing Selling Scruffys.

I asked a couple of my big marketer friends where to find great scruffys for my salespage - and the answer from all of them was - “Get a graphical designer to make them for you”.
Then it hit me : I want to create a very unique one-of-its-kind- product on the internet, that all marketers could benefit from: A Collection of selling scruffys - Just like a graphical package - full of scruffys. Well I did and Today SellingScruffys consists of more than 700 selling scruffys for you to copy and paste to your salespage.
The second reason I am so proud of this product is that I have priced it, so every marketer can afford it - even if you are just started.

Wanna see how easy it is to use scruffys ? Just watch my video bellow :
