  • Mindset – Lessons From The Farm…

    Mindset – Lessons From The Farm…

    In a previous post, I spoke about “The Law of the Farm”, which basically says, “You must reap before you sow!”

    In that post, I also mentioned how I kinda took “The Law of the Farm”… literally and started gardening.  

    That was years ago, and at the time I had a little garden that was about 8 feet by 10 feet. I now live on a farm in the tropics on which I’ve also planted a small vegetable garden.

     

    Gardening has become, for me a sort of meditation as well. And every little act that I take in that garden reminds me of things that are important to my online business and in my life.

    In this article, I am going to share with you 7 “Lessons From the Farm.”

    1.  Prepare the Soil – Believe in the Abundance of the Universe

    We are often told by the media, our leaders, and educational institutions that “There isn’t enough”. They tell us that there is an oil shortage, a water shortage, not enough money, not enough food… But everything around us tells us that this is a lie.

    The farmer plants his seeds expecting (believing) that the Universe will eventually turn every single seed into a multitude of fruits and seeds. This universe is a universe of abundance. 

    Think about it…

    There are billions of people on this planet, most of whom are dealing with one struggle or another. If you can become the person who is able to solve just one of those billions of problems and deliver the solutions to a very small fraction of those billions of people, you will create wealth in your life.

    Scarcity only exists in our minds. Believe in it and an abundance of scarcity awaits you… Believe in abundance and you will see it manifest all around you.

    Become like a farmer and prepare the garden of your mind by first believing in the abundance of the universe. – believing that there is more than enough for you and that it is awaiting delivery to you.

     

    2. Sow The Seeds of the Fruit That You Desire

    Unfortunately, a lot of people in the opportunity space just have the wrong mindset. They are seeking a 1-click-get-rich-with-no-work solution.  They want to eat the fruit before they have sown the seeds of success.

    In the real world, this is just not possible…

    Not when it comes to my little garden, or when it comes to your life and your business. 

    I can’t eat the tomatoes before I have planted the tomato seeds…

    And you can’t reasonably expect to get rich without first sowing the seeds of wealth.

    In every aspect of your life, you must sow the seeds of the fruit that you desire first.

    And here’s an addon principle…  

    The garden of your mind is where all of your future success will spring from, so continuously plant seeds in that garden that will produce the fruit that you desire in your life.

     

    Fruit Harvested From My Farm

    3. Consitently Nurture the Garden

    It’s not enough to sow seeds. You must also nurture those seeds until they bear fruit. The garden must be watered and fed. The various plants must be pruned. Diseased/dying plants must be removed.

    This is also true in your life and in your business.

    Your life is full of relationships.. You have relationships in your business, and you have relationships in your private life. Those relationships must be respected and nurtured if you want them to bear fruit.

    Your investments need to be watched and your portfolio adjusted.

    Every time that you send an email to the people on your list and provide them with valuable information, you are nurturing those relationships.

    Every time that you kiss your loved ones, you are nurturing those relationships.

    Every time that you check and make adjustments to your business strategies, your investment portfolios, your saving plans, you are nurturing your financial garden.

    You must constantly and religiously nourish your gardens.

     

    4. Remove Weeds and Pests…

    Every morning, one of the tasks that I do is remove any weeds that I find in the vegetable garden.  If I allow weeds to grow in the garden, they will spread and limit the growth of the seeds that I have purposely planted.

    So too with your mind.  The world is full of negativity.  And if you allow any seeds of negativity to take root and flourish in your mind, they will grow into weeds that, if allowed to grow unchecked, will choke the life out of any seeds (dreams ) that you have purposely planted there.

    So be vigilant in getting the weeds out of your mind and, consequently, your life and your business.  Mind the garden of your mind.  You must do everything, and anything that you have to do to prevent the seeds of negativity take root in your mind.

    And when you find them, pluck them out.

    Sometimes the people in your life are like pests in a garden. They are there to eat away at your garden as you nurture it and in many instances are responsible for planting weeds in the garden of your mind.

    Therefore, you must be picky about the people that you allow around you. Only associate with those who help you nourish your garden. You should not allow negative people in the space where you are nurturing your dreams. You must weed them out.

     

    [cp_modal display=”inline” id=”cp_id_2404e”][/cp_modal]

     

    5. Practice Patience..

    One of the biggest problems that I see in the opportunity marketplace, and in our society in general, is that everyone wants it now. Instant Potatoes, spray-on tans, get rich quick…

    People just don’t seem to have the patience that is required to plant the seed and nurture that seed until it bears fruit.

    Your success in this business and in life is going to depend largely on your ability to wait until the seed that you have planted and cared for has matured into fruit-bearing trees…

    Those trees won’t grow overnight, but when they start bearing fruit, it will all have been worth the effort and the wait.

     

    6. Keep the End in Mind…

    One thing that will keep you motivated is being able to visualize and re-visualize the outcomes that you desire. Keep the end goal of your efforts in mind.

    This serves two purposes:

    1. By constantly bringing in mind the end goal – the income, the lifestyle that you wish to enjoy, you will constantly remind yourself of why you are putting yourself through this ordeal of learning how to market on the internet.
    2. By keeping the end in mind, you are training your subconscious mind as well. Everytime that you write your goals, or look at your vision board, you are telling your subconsious mind over and over again what it is that you want and as a result, your subconscious mind will go to work making what you desire a reality in your life. It will constantly be on the lookout for opportunities that will help move you towards your goals each and every day and it will go to work, moving you closer and closer towards your goal even as you sleep.

     

    7. Have a Grateful Heart…

    It’s easy to have gratitude after the harvest, but we must learn to be grateful for everything of value in our lives. Oft times, that means being grateful for having survived negative experiences as well, simply because you weathered and survived that storm – and, hopefully, came through it as a better person.

    Get into the practice of being grateful.

    Be Grateful for the morning sun

    For the rain that is needed to nourish your gardens,

    For weeds that keep you vigilant,

    For future opportunities to sow new seeds.

    And when the harvest comes, be grateful for that as well and share, because again, there is more than enough for you.

    I think that a lot of people suffer through life simply because they don’t have the ability to appreciate and be grateful for and happy with the blessings in their lives. And because they focus on what they don’t want, more of what they don’t want to grow in their lives.

    Be grateful for every win large or small. Focus on what you do have and what you want and more of that will appear in your life.

    Conclussion…

    The Law of the Farm is a universal law. It applies to every aspect of your life and of your business.

    If you want to see the results that you desire, you must…

    1. Prepare the Soil of your garden.
    2. Sow seeds that will produce the fruit that you desire.
    3. Nurture your garden
    4. Remove weeds ( mostly from your mind )
    5. Practice patience..
    6. Keep the Vision of your Goal in Mind.
    7. Be Grateful.

    At the end of it all, if you apply “The Law of the Farm” to every aspect of your life, you will discover that the thing in your life that has grown the most, is you.

  • 12 Tips To Boost Your Productivity

    12 Tips To Boost Your Productivity

    Your productivity in your business is a keys to your success.  The one thing that we all have in common is the number of hours that we have in a day.  It doesn’t matter if you are a multi-millionaire or a “struggling” home based business owner, we all have only 24 hours each day.   What makes the difference is how you choose to use your time.  Do you spend it and at the end of the day wonder where your time went, or do you invest your time wisely so as to get the most out of your day and your life?

    As business owners, we don’t get paid for time, we get paid to produce a result – we are paid for our productivity.  As such, we need to make the most of every minute of every day.  Below are 12 tips to help you get the most out of your day.

    1. Plan Your Day in Advance.  Before going to bed each night, you need to set a little time to plan the next day.
    2. Prioritize your tasks ahead of time. By scheduling your tasks in order of importance, you can devote more attention to your most pressing tasks. You can prioritize your day so that you do not spend five hours answering email, while the rest of your duties slide.
    3. Set goals for your day. As you plan your day, set the goals that you want to accomplish. Although you may not get through your entire to-do list, try to set and meet reasonable goals each day.
    4. Get Your Mind Right.  Before starting your work day. Spend time visualizing your day. See yourself completing the day’s tasks and visualize the future results of the work that you are doing now. Step into that vision. Set aside at least 10 minutes each day to engage in visualization exercises.
    5. Set a schedule and stick to it. For every task that you have set for the day, set aside a specific amount of time and stick to your schedule.  You will be surprised by what you can get done in an hour if you focus on the task at hand.  If you haven’t completed the task within the allotted time, then schedule time for the next day to complete that task.  Unless it is a critical, money making activity, do not spend more time on that activity than you have scheduled.
    6. Use a stop watch or timer.  In order to stay on schedule, buy or download a stop watch app, and use it to stay on schedule.
    7. Turn off distractions. If the television or radio or Facebook lures you away from your duties, turn it off or log off.  You must do everything that you can to stay on task and avoid all distractions
    8. Avoid Multi-Tasking.  Many people think that the multi-tasking somehow increases their productivity, but it has been shown that it takes about 20 minutes for your mind to acclimate to a task. Multi-tasking actually kills your productivity.
    9. Take A Break.  For every hour of work, take a 10 minute break. Step away from your computer.  Go outside.  Use this time to clear your mind and to prepare for the next task.
    10. Spend Less than 30 Minutes a day on email.  Many people spend a lot of time constantly checking their emails.  You should schedule 1 or 2 times a
    11. day to check emails and only take about 2 minutes to respond to any emails that require your attention.
    12. Complete Money Making Activities First.  There are only 2 types of money making activities (MMA) – Active Prospecting and Passive Marketing. You should spend about 90% of your time in MMA. And you should give those MMA’s the highest priority when you schedule your day in advance.
    13. Make Time For Exercise.  By exercising regularly, you will increase the energy that you have available by exercising regularly

    Bonus Tip: Make Time For Family and Relationships.  Though you may be driven by achieving success in your business, you must maintain a proper life-balance.  Your business is just one aspect of your life and, if you are like me,  your business is a vehicle that you use to provide for your family. So make sure that you take the time to keep your personal relationships with family, friends and esp. your spouse, healthy.

  • Finding a Profitable Network Marketing  System

    Finding a Profitable Network Marketing System

    [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsxShfcOjoU?autoplay=1&rel=0[/embedyt]

    A Network Marketing System is key to your success in this business.  Every day masses of people invest their money to join a network marketing opportunity with the expectation of making some additional income part-time from home. Sadly by the end of about 3 months in business 3 quarters of these folks will quit, very often worse off than they were when they started.

    This is a normal scenario, but it doesn’t have to be that way.

    There is just one thing between enjoying success with network marketing or failing like those other 75% , and that is the implementation of a simple network marketing system that will do the majority of the hard work for you and your down-line.

    A Tool and a System Aren’t The Same

    Many new network marketing specialists confuse a system with a tool and it can be an expensive mistake, because tools do not a system make. The reality is a system can comprise of tools. A useful network marketing system will take advantage of several tools, but a single tool on its own can be worthless unless it can be integrated into a useful system and become part of a series of processes built to achieve a specific result.

    For example, your company may give you a fabulous online presentation sure to generate interest in your product, service or opportunity.

    Yet this presentation is actually merely a tool and worthless without a system a collection of processes built to get the presentation in front of potential prospects who might have an interest in learning more.

    A webinar event hosted by heavy hitters in the business is great as a sponsoring tool. It’ll be totally pointless when offered on its own and not part of a series of steps which should be taken including registration and gathering of prospects’ information for follow-up.

    Here’s a Complete Network Marketing  System

    Systems need to be a sequence of steps designed to produce a desired end result.

    So a good online network marketing system will be a complete process using organic search engine strategies, following these steps:

    A target audience must be identified by employing categorical tools to research that market, and those people should have a desire for your service or opportunity. For instance, “retired salespeople”.

    By employing a search engine key phrase research tool, you will establish which keywords and phrases people are using to find info in your selected niche. In the above example they’d be words like “diet”, or “how to lose weight”.

    With the employment of tools you then should figure how many webpages, articles, ads, and blog posts are competing for these particular keyword phrases, and then a term or keyword selected that will have the highest chance of success.

    Articles should then be written addressing peoples issues, with their solutions, either by you or by an outsourced writer.

    Manually submit article to article index and / or use tools to distribute article to any amount of article directory sites.

    You also use tools to pump your article by pinging, using social bookmarking, and gaining back-links by commenting on other blogs and forums.

    The above steps all add up to being a system, it is a series of processors built to produce a result. In this case it is to get a new internet page into the SERPs and ranking at the top, thereby pulling in traffic which should be your market. By employing this system correctly it’ll bring a flood of highly targeted traffic to your website, where you will have to execute one more system to capture these people’s info, and by using other promotional strategies this system should result in your required outcome in this example a sale.

    Turnkey Network Marketing System

    Rather than spending on individual tools, one of the finest paths to take your business quickly to a higher level is to utilize an absolutely integrated network marketing system that has been proven to produce the specified result. Don’t spend money on more tools if they do not total up to a useful system. This is the system I recommend.

    MLM Lead Generation Systems : MLM Recruiting Secrets

    Are you looking for a reliable MLM Lead Generation System? Good lead generation systems are vital to the economic success of any business, whether large or small.  And  lead generation is a necessary part in building any type of business successfully, whether it is a traditional bricks and mortar company, an internet business or a network marketing business.

    Many people think that one lead is just as good as but they are wrong, Generating a cold untargeted lead and a very targeted lead ultimately costs about the same, but the latter is obviously much, much better.

    For instance, if leads haven’t been qualified during the promotion process, then you will find yourself wasting your time talking to unqualified and disinterested prospects. If you constantly invest your time in these untargeted, unqualified leads, your sales figures drop, and as your sales drop, your business declines. It’s a vicious spiral.

    Offline MLM Lead Generation Systems

    Lead Generation Systems For Network MarketersMany people cringe at the thought of generating leads offline. This is because generating leads offline for MLM can be a labor intensive process. Offline lead generation methods requires meeting prospects face to face in physical locations as well contacting them by telephone. Offline methods also involve attending trade shows and networking events to acquire MLM Leads that and all of these must in turn be placed in a database and then contacted one at a time.

    To build a relationship with these offline leads, you might need to mail information to the prospects, which can also be a costlyactivity and all of these leads would have to be qualified to determine whether or not they are even a fit for your business.

    In Spite of the lack of appeal of the offline marketing systems, they are effective and have been proven over and over again, so I would suggest that all new network marketers employ the offline lead generation systems employed by their companies.

    Online MLM Lead Generation Systems

    Online mlm lead generation appears much easier at first sight , however, those who use the internet and social media to grow their network marketing business know that this is not always the case. Internet network marketing can be a lengthy process as you are fishing in a vast sea of consumers who’ve never heard about your business.

    Many network marketers start with very little capital available to them, and as a result they just don’t have the resources available to them to invest in advertising and marketing to get their business and products in front of their target market and are not able to generate as many leads. But one of the benefits of using proven online mlm lead generation systems is that you don’t need a lot of capital to get started. You will be able to leverage your time and the internet to launch your business.

    The real challenge of online mlm lead generation is that most new network marketers just don’t know how to do it effectively and their companies just don’t provide them with the training that they need to be successful in their online mlm lead generation efforts. In this respect, network marketers who are interested in using social media and the internet to market their products and opportunities should invest in proven online mlm lead generation systems to help them grow their business. These systems are capable of producing positive results which can help a business owner to stay in charge of the process. A  lead generation system should be selected that teaches the entrepreneur the most current technique of acquiring fresh, qualified leads, leaving them with a duplicatable system that they can pass on to their team members and more time that they can use to focus on growing their business.

So when setting up a your internet network marketing website there are a few things that need to be kept in mind at all times.

Keep this in mind when it comes to setting up a business website, and get unbiased feedback on it before you “go live”. It may take a bit of time, and may even require some spending, but the benefits of a good website are unarguable.

    Creating Content for Your Network Marketing Website

    Having the content of the site written and designed professionally for your network marketing website can be worthwhile. If you are not good with words, it is less so – it is important to do as much of the work as you comfortably can. Badly worded text, however, can hold?you beneath the water line. A memorable URL for your site is also just about obligatory. Trying to get people to remember a long website address is likely to result in them upping sticks and going elsewhere. The site should also be easy to navigate and carry prominent contact details. Your potential customer may be very impressed by the flashing text and the snappy images, but if they cannot phone you or send you an e-mail, it won’t be much good to you. Try also to present a welcoming image on your site – sometimes just being made to smile can persuade a customer to spend their money.
