I hope your Sunday has been enjoyable. I was out at hockey with my youngest this morning and have spent the rest of the day working on getting my new office ready (still a way to go). I am moving from the old beer cellar up to one of our spare bedrooms. Moving me is easy but this is not the case for all the hardware (computers and the like). I have put in a long row of electric sockets at desk height on one wall and have spent this afternoon lifting floorboards and laying in cables for a new ring-main to feed them. I have also extended the main telephone line up to the new office and installed a new network cable.
All great fun especially with the intermittent help from my 10 year old and his puppy!
Here is Update #109. Thanks for the positive feedback about the piece on Articles in the last update. Most found it useful.
You will recall that I have been revamping my business a bit in recent times, revising my marketing strategies and trying to bring my two businesses closer together. This has been quite a challenge for me going through what I have been doing and deciding where I want to get to.
During this process I have started to prod and question some of my methods/strategies to try and establish which things really matter in the business.
In addition to this I have been sorting through the vast library of information products that I have acquired over the years. I started trying to put them into some sort of system based on the type of content and how good they were.
- things that I had tried and that worked
- things that I had tried that failed to work for me
- pure information / how to .. that was useful.
- pure information but not that good.
It became obvious that the biggest pile was the ‘things that I had tried that failed to work for me‘ closely followed by the ‘pure information but not that good‘. Now with the latter it was just that the content was generally poorly presented regurgitated thin information. But the former was full of great projects promising all sorts of make money by doing this that and the other!
So I started going through the great pile of failures and to be quite honest with you with the exception of 3 eBooks they all failed because I had failed to complete them in some way. I guess that the main problem was distractions. So I was all full of enthusiasm at the start but then lost interest (even though there was a promise of riches) and moved on to something else.
Does this sound familiar to you?
When I started going through the pile of failures I realised that there were some really good money making/ marketing strategies that I could use right now in my business. I also started thinking about my inability to set goals and objectives and stick to them.
Now I am a great believer that if you desire something enough then things will start to move to help you achieve this. But the trick is consistent thought and most of us can’t achieve this because we do not have clear goals and we get distracted.
- A book fell of a shelf I was clearing and fell open at ‘Setting Unbelievable Goals‘. The book was ‘The Lazy Man’s Way to Riches: How to Have Everything In The World You Really Want!‘ by Richard G. Nixon based on a best seller by Joe Karbo. I bought this book way back in about 1998. I started to read it and perform the various tasks, but I was not experienced/wise enough at that time to understand that you can make a difference in your life by having a strong sustained desire for something. If you are prepared to cross the necessary tasks off the list one by one.
I have now started reading it again (I think I am now more than ready to start the journey). You should try and get a copy and put it into action and not wait like I did.
- I received an email from an online friend of mine Jaime Morales giving me a link to an audio version of a book ‘The Science Of Getting Rich by Wallace Wattles‘ it’s free and available for download here http://www.archive.org/details/TheScienceofGettingRich
- I received a call from my up-line on Success University and we were discussing my current distractions. He swiftly reminded me of the extensive training within Success University including the ‘Jim Rohn Success Plan‘ which is a 24 week course with a strong focus on goal setting and attitudes for success. You can see the course if you sign up for the free 14 day trial here http://www.nofussinternetbusiness.com/susp
So that is three different unprompted events that remind me to look at my goals and objectives and improve the way I work them to achieve success.
So that is what I will do. You should join me and start to make a difference.
