Do you feel like a cow sometimes?


I've seen a LOT of people succeed with online businesses and I've also seen a lot of people struggle thinking that they are the only ones that don't "get it".

Let me break it down for you.

People that succeed have several of these characteristics in common:

-They are willing to try new ideas
-They are always learning
-They are willing to help others and be helped by others
-They want something long term and legit
-They realize that a lot of the "latest and greatest income ideas"
are simply over-hyped garbage and they don't fall for it
-They take action in creative ways. They aren't necessarily sticking
to a single system or idea
-They don't "follow the herd" (mooo)

People that struggle have many of these traits in common:

-They nearly ALWAYS follow the herd (they fall for launch after
launch)
-They take advice from people that have NEVER succeeded online
(i.e. They'll listen to advice from a brother-in-law who owns a
plumbing business and once spent $5,000 on a website that
doesn't bring him any business) and they'll ignore guys like me that
are actually doing quite well online
-They think they might be incapable of "getting it"
-They are looking for a magic button they can push to make it all
happen
-They are going at it alone (they aren't part of a community like
OfflineBiz.com or MySilentTeam.com or any other great online forum
where successful people gather)

Which kind of person are you?

If you are workin the Home Seller Assist program, you'd be wise to surround yourself with the kind of people at the top of this article!

Remember - you'll become like the people you hang around with.

Accept the inevitable.

There are some things you simply can't do anything about. However, it's important to be able to discern the difference between inevitable and difficult. For example, success can be difficult, but, regardless of one's circumstances, failure is not inevitable. Accepting the inevitable is not being negative, it's actually positive. What's negative is not being able to ignore the inevitable and move on with your life.

As pastor, author, and educator Charles Swindoll put it, "We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.... I am convinced that life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent how I react to it."

Accepting the inevitable and focusing on opportunities in your life is virtually guaranteed to lower your stress level.

The Law of Practice.

Dr. Maxwell Maltz called it "practice, practice, practice."

But not hollow practice.

Enthusiastic practice. Putting your body, mind, and soul into what you're doing - but doing so in a relaxed way.

All great achievers do what they do in a spirit of calm and relaxation. They may pay lip service to the slogan "It's ALL HARD WORK" - but the reality is that when you work hard and are not relaxed, you're not very effective.

The best of the best understand this. So next time you hear "It's all hard work" coming from the mouth of a champion athlete or successful businessman, ask for video footage of him in action.

While watching him, you'll discover an amazing fact: Even in the heat of battle, even when time is of the essence, even when a life may be on the line - the winners are those who make what they're doing look easy.

Always Have Plan B Ready When You Launch

By Michael Masterson

Enthusiasm is a valuable emotion, and determination is a necessary trait for success. But neither or both of these qualities will make a bad idea work. I recommend that you develop the countervailing discipline of creating a Plan B.

Over the years, I have trained myself to recognize when an idea that I thought was good was actually bad. (There are plenty of signs - but unless you are looking for them, they are easy to ignore.)

So the first step is to see the writing on the wall. And the next step is to immediately switch to another course of action before you lose a ton of money and months (or even years) of time and energy.

You'll be much better at both of these critical business-survival skills (recognizing when your ideas are not working and reacting swiftly/smartly) if you establish a bailout scheme - a Plan B - at the outset of every project.

Don't make the mistake of thinking failure won't happen to you. I can tell you stories...
For example, there was a "brilliant" idea for a record club that cost me $125,000... a "can't-fail" celebrity health newsletter that sucked up an astonishing $780,000 before I gave up on it... and a perfume business that was "absolutely sure to work" that wasted $85,000 of my (and my partners') money.

When Ted Turner was planning to launch CNN, he found that he had done such a good job of promoting the idea that his partners weren't even willing to entertain the possibility that it might fail. Since Turner knew full well the value of being prepared for failure, he kept asking the question "What if it fails?" until they finally agreed to put together a fallback plan.
CNN started off terrifically, and when it ran into financial problems seven years later, they already had a solution. In this case, it was to sell a portion of the business to cable operators. Because of Turner's early insistence on a Plan B, crisis was averted without anyone breaking a sweat.

What is the most important project you're working on right now? Do you have a Plan B... just in case?

[Ed. Note: Maybe you've got a good job. Or lots of money to invest. Or a bunch of real estate holdings. But if all your eggs are in one basket, you REALLY need a backup plan. Let ETR give you a recession-proof Plan B that can help you secure your financial future. Get the details here.

Companies that give away information on your topic absolutely free

There are countless companies out there giving away free information on their sites.

These folks are not in the business of selling information products. They typically sell a physical product or a service... and give away free content to build their e-list.

It can be challenging to compete in a niche where a lot of good free content is published by companies that treat it as a marketing strategy. After all, why should your customers pay you for your content when they can get it - or something close to it - for free elsewhere?

One strategy to use against this type of competition is to establish yourself as a guru in your niche.

Consumers want authoritative information from experts, and are willing to pay a premium to get it. For instance, anyone can compile information on conservative issues and politics. But only Rush Limbaugh can publish and sell The Limbaugh Letter.

Find a home with easy access to highways or interstates.

Many people commute between 30-90 minutes every day between home and work. Living in the city isn’t always a desirable option; especially for families raising children; so many people choose to live in the suburbs and commute back and forth to work. If you find a home with easy access to highways or interstates, your property values will be higher than if the home is in the middle of nowhere, and people have to drive 40 minutes to the highway.

You’ll realize even more of a profit if you can buy a home near a planned highway, but not too near; property values will go up when highway access arrives, but if you can get a home near a planned highway, you can be the one to realize those profits. Again, avoid being too near the highway; 5-10 minutes is an optimal drive, while bordering a highway directly can actually cause a drop in your property values.
