So…

When I first started this blog, I had just started a 90 Day Challenge with Dennis Karganilla and Jimmy Davis. For 3 months, I pushed myself beyond my limits, and brought myself to a place where I could quit my job and work for myself, full time from home.

Recently, I’ve come to realize that this self-challenging is what makes people successful.  My friend Donovan calls it “CANI – constant and never-ending improvement.”  I call it “busting through brick walls.”

Basically, it’s doing more than you think you can – forcing yourself to power through until you reach your goal, or until you do what you or someone else has challenged you to do.  And I could give you at least 100 stories about that -

Like the time I copied the Wall Street Journal sales letter 7 times over by hand because I wanted to improve my copywriting skills.  My hand was hurting after the first page! But I kept going, and I made an effort to make each copy neater, cleaner, with less errors…

Or we could go way back to when I was in the Army, and was told to run four miles.  Four miles?  Puleez!  I was out of breath after 3 steps!  But guess what?  I did it.

Or that time I jumped my first set of stairs on my rollerblades, at 12.  It didn’t seem so hard to repeat after that.

Every day, I push myself and challenge myself to do more than I did before.  And when my mind says, “time to quit,” I say “keep going!”

That’s why I decided to join Justin Brooke’s 90 Day Challenge.
Justin’s a cool guy, he gives great advice, and he KNOWS online marketing.  So I trust him to point me in the right direction.

And if you’ve read this far into my post…you’re probably ready for a move in the right direction.

So I’m gonna do something – a little “extra” to help you get started.
Check my blog for regular updates on the challenge, and little bonuses – like this worksheet (click to download) to help you get through day 2 of the challenge.

Oh – and of course, here’s where you sign up for the challenge:

See you there!

It’s been forever since I last updated my blog, so I figured I’d put something high quality here. I get a lot of requests for “how to focus,” “how to concentrate” and “how to get things done,” so I recorded this presentation that teaches you how to reach your goals. It’s a little long, but worth every minute.

I originally presented this (with slightly different slides, and more business focused) at Howie Schwartz’ last workshop (before his sabbatical). I’ll update shortly with workshop pictures, videos (including one of Howie as a pimp), etc…but for now, here’s this modified version of my presentation. This should work for you no matter what your goals are. Please leave your comments below!

You’ll understand that warning in just a moment.

Earlier today…
MUCH earlier today…
actually, at this point it was yesterday – 12 hours ago to be exact -

My good friend Thomas contacted me on Skype. I had gotten in from a 5-mile-or-so bike ride a few hours earlier and was sitting down to work, making phone calls, contacting clients, and speaking with the Assistant Superintendent of the school where I teach ESL – but more on my impending resignation later. I managed to fire one of my clients before I got Thomas’ request to “spam” me.

Anyway, let’s get something straight. I’m super focused. I set goals, and I reach them. I’ve been pitched to countless times, probably just like you, often by amazing people who I know I would love to work with. Yet I always find a way to stay focused on what I’m doing. So unlike hundreds of people I know, I market exclusively ONE business opportunity. It works.

But sometimes, no brainers happen.

This was one of those times.

You probably already know that it takes money to run business. Takes money to make money. That sort of thing. And when you’re in high-end sales like I am, sometimes you need a few k to get a good return. PPC is king when you can fund it properly.

So when Thomas offered me a way to fund my PPC campaign – I couldn’t resist.

Here’s how it went down.

An MLM company started in the UK.  It spread like wildfire – all over Europe, India and China.  The company paid out millions in commissions.  And then someone in North America managed to get in touch with one of the shakers in Germany.

The company’s site was not yet set up to accept orders from the US, but they somehow managed to work out a deal to purchase the guy’s vouchers in order to start a downline here in the US.  And start a downline they did.

I managed to get my hands on one of those vouchers.  20 minutes later, I was already bringing my own set of leaders in.

Here’s why this MLM is so irresistable:

1. It’s a ONE TIME $250 fee to start. And no monthly. $250, one time, and you’re in for good.

2. It’s a revolving matrix that pushes you up. Bring in two people (or heck, get two rollovers from your upline) and you’re qualified. Make it through the first matrix and you make your investment back – plus $250 in vouchers that you can use to start yourself another position.

3. Once you make it through the first matrix (or board), you’re in for good. You get moved over to another matrix where you cycle endlessly. And when you finish THAT matrix – every time you cycle back to the bottom – you get $15,000 – $10,000 cash, and $5,000 in vouchers (for travel, re-entry into the matrix, etc.).

I didn’t find out about all the other bonuses (laptops, cars, private jets…) until after I joined.  I didn’t need to.

All I needed to know was that I was working with an incredible group of people.  And that we were all committed to bringing only the best of the best to our team – the movers and shakers.

Are you a mover & shaker?

If so, you’ll find a way to reach me.
