Hey there! Welcome Back, I appreciate you being here... make sure you subscribe to my FREE Industry Acclaimed 7 Part 'Online Wealth Mastermind Report' training ABOVE if you haven't already!

Hello to all the Dad-Preneurs and the amazing women that support them!

I hope you are doing well in life and business.

I wanted to share an article with you that I hope touches you at a deep place!

Be sure to pass it on to everyone you know (even dads and moms that are not entrepreneurs).

I should also say that this should be titled: ‘The Best Advice A Mother Can Give’ as well… :)

Pass it on to your twitter and facebook friends as well as to everyone else you know that will benefit from it. Just ‘like’ it at the end of this post and share it on your facebook wall and re-tweet it above…!

There is a powerful message contained here…
————————————————————————————
It hit me like a ton of bricks.

I couldn’t believe I’d “missed” it before. I’d read the book many, many times – but this time was different. A “secret” was revealed to me – and today I’m going to give it to YOU.

If you are open and receptive to this passage – you can expect a major breakthrough from what you are about to read.

I suggest you be OPEN.

Here’s the passage:

“Psychologist David Seabury says that the best piece of advice his father ever gave him was to practice positive mental imagery – immediately and “on cue,” so to speak, whenever he became aware of negative feelings. Negative feelings literally defeated themselves by becoming a sort of “bell” which set off a conditioned reflex to arouse positive states of mind.”

Now read this passage again. It comes from the 35-million copy best-seller, Psycho-Cybernetics. I suggest if you do not already have this book, get it as soon as you can. It is a fantastic read!

Pay particular attention to the following words: “the best piece of advice his father ever gave him…”

Those words set the tone for for what the rest of the passage reveals.

Why?  Because whenever something is the “best piece of advice” someone can give you – especially your father, it had better be GOOD.

In reading this passage I not only see this as the best advice I can give my son – but myself, and all my students, business partners and the amazing folks in my coaching programs.

So many people wonder why I am always so calm, cool and collected. Many wonder how I am able to speak before a crowd in a non- chalant, totally relaxed way and still have everyone totally riveted…

Or how I am able to have the success I have had in online marketing and entrepreneurship

Most of the reason is because I have no thoughts of resistance when I speak or write, etc. I’m not concerned about offending anyone. I’m not even trying to get people to like me. I am simply ME, take it or leave it.

Very few people are this way. They’re trying to figure out how to get others to approve of them or like them. Not a good strategy because the more you NEED others to like you the less they will like you.

Same goes with money. The more you NEED it – the more it will stay away from you. Money and friends go where they are wanted – not where they are NEEDED. There is a world of difference between want and need. One attracts. The other repels.

Even if you think you NEED money or NEED friends, so long as you have this thought you are in a repelling state of mind. Never NEED anything. Want is all you want. Want comes from a vibration of “I’m happy already and I’d like to have this, too.” Need comes from a vibration of “I’m miserable and frustrated and I need this thing to make me happy.”

Become aware of negative NEED feelings when they arise – and if and when they do – learn, through practice, to have these feelings immediately trigger the thought to change your vibration into a “feel good” one.

Most people have never been taught this by their fathers – or by any other teacher. They’ve been taught to set goals, to have a burning desire, to be optimistic and have a positive attitude.

But what do you do when you look at your bank statement, or your finances and you immediately begin to feel bad? What do you do when the reality of your situation begins ruining your day? What do you do when you’re feeling frustrated, fearful and worried? You do what Dr. Seabury’s father told him to do and what I’m telling you to do:

First, you “recognize” that you are feeling bad.

Second, you understand that this “feel bad” vibration REPELS what you say you want. Your want is not a want. It’s a need that comes with the expectation of something outside of yourself making you happy.

Third, you recognize that this “feel bad” imagery sends a signal to the Universe that you cannot be happy “for no particular reason.” And that’s not good.

There is a balancing act you are to learn between having a burning desire and having a desire that burns you.

On the one hand having a burning desire creates the necessary mind-set that will create the thing you want. On the other hand, if the desire is connected to “I’m miserable unless I have this thing” – then you are chasing success and that success will always run faster than you do.

Your objective is to attract success; not to chase it. Chasing success is repelling success. You never get what you are chasing. At the end of the month you always come up short; you always need a quick fix. And fixes don’t fix anything.

Several years ago a man sent me an email in which he said I was “chasing the almighty dollar.” I had no idea what he was talking about. I couldn’t even form a mental image of myself doing what he was writing about.

What the man was saying was a reflection of what HE thought I was doing.

He was wrong. When I chased the almighty dollar – and I did that for years – I had no money. When I stopped chasing and learned to attract it – it flowed into my life so fast I was nearly knocked over.

Continually alter and improve your mental pictures so that dollars are chasing you. Anytime you begin feeling as if you’re no longer attracting – then look at what you’re picturing in your mind and see if you’re repelling more than you’re attracting.

At all times the forces of attraction and repulsion are at play. It’s simply a matter of how strong the forces are. If you’re repelling energy is stronger you go deeper into debt. If your attraction force is stronger you get wealthier. If both are equally strong, you feel “stuck.”

Now the question is, what do I do if I am repelling more than I’m attracting?

The answer:

1. You change the way you feel by changing the mental picture you have of your situation. Every time you feel the negative feeling, it’s an alarm that triggers a positive one. A bell goes off inside. “Uh, oh. Not good. Change the mental picture.” You do this over and over and the feel bad vibe lasts less than a second and you’re back to feeling good. Essentially, no one will ever know you even visited the feel bad emotion. It was “here and gone” in the time it takes to click a new photograph.

2. Begin each day with Theatre of the Mind exercises so that you go through the whole day without resistance. Don’t just read positive messages or books. DO the exercises. Stand before the mirror and speak. Picture what you want when you speak. Sit in a chair and use your creative imagination. Recall previous successes and link them to your future.

3. Have a burning desire in mind, a goal. But at the same time don’t expect the goal to give you happiness. You don’t let the desire burn you by feeling bad if you don’t have it yet. In fact, even though you WANT the goal and put your heart and soul into creating what you want – you are also able to “walk away” from the goal emotionally. There is no expectation of your desire giving you anything other than the thing you desire. For example, if you want more money – you don’t expect more money to give you happiness. You simply want more money – and you put yourself into happiness mode NOW.

If you’re happy even though you don’t yet have in your possession the thing you want – then you are attracting it to you.

If you’re unhappy because you don’t yet have in your possession the thing you NEED – then you are repelling it.

So get happy NOW – not later.

Recognize that fear, frustration and angst are only there to help you change course. They’re there to help you see that your mental picture is off-target. Put the right mental image back onto the screen of your mind and watch how the Universe lines things up in your favor.

If success is 90% mental in every field, then you better learn the 90% – don’t you think?

Quick Time Management Tips For Internet Marketers

Pay Attention to this short BUT powerful article my friends,

The lure of marketing you business online lies in the potential to make lots of money from multiple income streams without having to spend more time at the office or working for a boss. It is the stuff of which dreams of financial freedom are made. Many people new to internet marketing find that striking a balance between business and the lifestyle they crave is difficult to achieve. As an internet marketer, you need to practice good time management to get things done.

Review projects often
Start by listing down everything you need to do for each project. Identify which projects work and which do not. Keep the ones that are doing well while discard those that are just a waste of your time and resources. Consider partnering with someone qualified to do a new project that you’ve been considering instead of starting from scratch to save time.

Systemize
Every internet marketer should have a project management system like BasecampHQ which organizes projects, team members, tasks and schedules efficiently. Basecamp is a relatively inexpensive web-based system that can even be accessed via your iPhone, making it easy to stay on top of your projects and team wherever you go. It acts as a virtual office where members of your team can check off to-do lists, write messages or upload files on the system.

Mail filters
A lot of the messages that go into your email in-box may be things that you don’t need to read and which keep you from seeing the ones that require your immediate attention. Identify which emails you can read later (if ever!), like those from Facebook or newsletter subscriptions, and use filter preferences to direct these to individual labels assigned to them. Gmail and Yahoo Mail both have labels and filters under mail options. Another simple way to increase your productivity is by limiting the amount of time you spend on social networking sites, unless you’re conducting a specific marketing campaign around it.

Outsource
You might be spreading yourself too thinly by doing everything yourself. Delegate some of the tasks which you may not be good at like internal accounting and book keeping, content writing and web development. Outsourcing ensures that tasks are done well, minus the headaches of doing them on your own. While I still do my own simple web pages and sales copy, I outsource a great percentage of my articles and website projects to give me time to focus on other matters. I also recommend you outsource your home duties too such as lawn mowing….

Manage this well and profit
Having control over your time may be one of the perks of being an internet marketer but if you’re not careful with how you allocate it, you may be missing out on a lot of opportunities to increase profits and to enjoy life.

Greetings My Friends,

I just had to post this today! So DAMN Inspiring!!!

Start living with a ‘NO EXCUSES MENTALITY’ From Now On. What do you think this woman could accomplish in our modern world today? It makes me feel like I have not accomplished a thing after reading her story…

I hope this inspires you to go out there and kick some butt and take some names my fellow Entrepreneur friend!

To striving just as Madam C.J. Walker did many years ago,

Be Awesome!
-Eric

-Oh, by the way, wait til you read about the 2 ‘Magic Powers’ that we all possess below…

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Occasionally, the unthinkable occurs.

I run out of the trash-fiction that I like to read – and as a last resort, I pick up “emergency reading material” like Oprah Magazine. (My wife gets it. Not me! I swear! I only read manly stuff like “Liquor Soaked Brawler’s Digest”.)

And usually, like I do with all magazines, I just like to read the ads.

I was about 78 pages into it when, for some reason, I started reading an actual article about successful women.

And that’s when an amazing lady jumped out of the page at me.

Her name is Madam C.J. Walker and here she is:

And let me tell you, this lady could have …

Kicked All Of Our Asses …Combined!

Here’s why:

First, the article in Oprah didn’t say much about her except that she became extremely successful selling hair products door-to-door.

All I can really remember is it had her picture and then it mentioned her success.

Now, being a former door-to-door man myself, I decided to check her out.

Here’s what I found:

First, she was born in Louisiana.

On a farm.

In 1865.

Not really an ideal time and place to be born if you’re:

  1. A woman.
  2. African American.

But she had plenty of additional challenges to face.

She was an orphan at age seven.

At age 14, she got married …reportedly to escape the abuse that she was suffering at the hands of her brother-in-law.

She became a mother at age 17, and a widow at age 20.

She supported herself and her daughter by picking cotton on a farm, by being a laundress, and by working in a barber shop. From what I can tell, the most she ever made during that time was $1.50 a day.

But It Got Worse

At around 25 years old, she began to develop a a condition that caused her to start balding.

Can you imagine? As if she didn’t have enough to deal with …now the poor lady’s hair is falling out.

(And we whine when our cell phone drops a call every now and then… kind of embarrassing.)

Anyway …

Here’s Where It Gets Good

It shouldn’t surprise you that she quickly became a student of “how to fix this damned balding problem”.

In fact, she researched all kinds of treatments, and eventually discovered that sulfur could abolish the scalp disease that was causing people to lose their hair.

(Apparently, people lost their hair a lot back then because they didn’t bathe as much. They would get some nasty scalp infection and their hair would fall out. But if you treated the problem with sulfur, you could knock it out.)

So she did the only logical thing to do, which was to start her own business …selling a product called “Madam Walker’s Wonderful Hair Grower”.

Keep in mind, she was just starting out and didn’t have a big budget (probably NO budget at all) so she had no choice but to …

Go Out, Grab The World By The Balls, And Bend It To Her Will!

And the first thing she did was to go door to door, selling her product.

Listen – nobody really embraces a door to door sales person with open arms these days, you know?

But imagine what it must have been like for Madam Walker in the racist and male dominated environment she was working in back then.

…That took some cojones.

How many times do you think she was rejected?

How many doors do you think were slammed in her face?

How many insults did she hear?

I’m willing to bet she even was threatenedregularly.

But did that stop her?

Hell No!

Not only did she survive …she thrived.

Mrs Walker hung in there and sold more products, developed new ones, and finally opened up a factory in Indianapolis.

By 1913, she was traveling around the world training other women to sell her products.

…And by the time she died in 1919 at age 51, she had become

The World’s First Female Self-Made Millionare!

Against incredible odds, wouldn’t you say?

Man – what a story.

Did I mention that her parents were former slaves? I don’t think I did.

So her story is amazing, and I think her success is largely due to one critical characteristic:

The Amazing Ability To Get Off Of One’s Ass And Get To WORK.

Seems we have a lack of that ability these days.

Think about it.

The real secret to success is to get out there and work like hell.

And when we think about Madam C.J. Walker, it’s painfully obvious that …

We Have Absolutely NO Excuse For Failure

Actually – let me rephrase that.

In the beginning, failure is pretty much inevitable.

A first-time home run is about as rare as an honest politician.

Hell, I’ve been at this game for about 4,000 consecutive days. All day, every day – and almost everything I start takes a few tweaks before it works.

And some projects don’t work at all.  Such is life.

So yeah, failure is OK.

But here’s the thing,

You Have To Get Up, Brush Yourself Off, And Get Back In The Game

That is the magic power of the successful entrepreneur.

Actually, there are really only two magic powers that I’ve seen – and these are present in every successful person I’ve met, worked with/for, or studied.

Here they are:

Magic Power #1: The ability to get started.

Holy crap, this is a big one.

I just got back from two straight weekends of speaking and the biggest thing I saw plaguing the people who were struggling was the inability to get started. This really interested me so I tried to discover the hold ups.

People were stuck on trying to figure out what web host to use, what microphone to use, what email provider, and so forth.

And look – I’ve been there, and I was broke when I was there – so I can relate.

But here’s the deal.

Most of the time all the research, the preparation, the making sure everything is “perfect” …most of the time that’s secret code for

“I’m Scared!”

Scared it’s not gonna work.

Scared you’re gonna look stupid.

Scared you might lose some money.

Scared you’ll be judged

So let me help you out here and tell you right up front that …

All That Bad Stuff Is Almost GUARANTEED To Happen!

Your very first site is probably gonna look kinda terrible. (Mine still have that “made in 1998″ look).

Your first sales letter is probably gonna need tweaking.

Google will probably “slap” your first ad campaign. And if they don’t, you’ll probably spend and “lose” a few bucks getting enough traffic to test your offer before you start making sales and profits.

Your square friends will almost certainly judge you and talk behind your back about what a fool you are for trying to make money on the Internet. At least one of them will believe you’ve fallen for a get-rich-quick scheme.

And since you’ll be putting yourself out there in the interwebz for the whole world to see …you’re probably going to look stupid to someone. (And if you don’t, you’re doing it wrong.)

So …that’s the way it is.

And since you know it’s all definitely going to happen (barring some miracle), you can finally stop worrying about it and just get it all out of the way!

Better to go on ahead and power through it, you know? Hurry up so you can get to the good stuff. Like cramming down the vegetables when you were a kid so you could finally get dessert. (I still do this).

And once you do …you can practice

Magic Power #2: The Ability To Step Back Into The Ring

Business is like boxing in the sense that you will, without question, get knocked around a little.

Know what I mean?

And do you think there’s ever a conversation where a dude wants to become a boxer and this happens?

Dude: “Coach? Can I talk to you a minute?”

Coach: “Sure, son. What’s on your mind.”

Dude: “Well, I think I want to be a boxer.”

Coach: “That’s great. We can start training on Monday.”

Dude: “OK. But …Coach?”

Coach: “Yeah?”

Dude: “Do you think I’ll ever get …you know …hit? Like, do you think anyone is gonna …you know, punch me?”

Coach: “GET THE HELL OUT OF MY GYM!”

I know, I know …never happens. In BOXING.

But it damn sure happens in business.

People get started (which is a huge feat in and of itself) and then just get floored by the first setback.

It takes them by complete surprise and it makes them want to quit.

I suppose it’s natural.

But what’s not natural …and what really breeds success …is that ability to brush yourself off and start over.

Just like the champion boxer, you gotta get up and step back into the ring. If you do that enough times, you’ll be tough as a pit bull and you’ll start winning.

And it doesn’t take too many wins before it all starts to add up.

But man, if you don’t get back in there and take another shot …you’ll never win.

And listen: EVERYBODY I know who’s achieved lasting success has, often on more than one occasion, gotten the shit kicked out of them in business. Many have lost everything before they finally “made it”.

Damn sure happened to me, I can tell you that.

Here are some of the businesses I’ve effortlessly run straight into the ground (it’s a talent.):

1. Used Car Lot (the prestige!)

2. Underground Dog Fencing (don’t ask)

3. Roofing Contractor and Commercial Repair (even more prestige!)

4. Merchant Bank Card Processing (failed attempt at “legitimate” business)

…And of course, this is before I got online.

Once I got online, I was able to have my most spectacular failure to date …the dreaded Instant Internet Empires, which got the attention of the FTC and ultimately earned me a nice lawsuit which cost me everything I had.

Literally. Everything.

And you know what? All those failures SUCKED. They were embarrassing. And sometimes scary.

…Getting back up and stepping into the ring again was hard.

But worth it.

And if an orphaned daughter of former slaves can work her way up through the racist hardship of the economically depressed deep south …and become the world’s first self-made female millionaire …then what possible excuse do WE have?

Do you think it was easy for this lady to just walk outside and start going door to door? Hell no!

Do you think it was easy for her to keep going after hearing insults and rejections every day? Of course not.

But she did it anyway. Because that’s what it takes sometimes.

Now get out there and take what’s yours.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————

Let me tell you a story.

About two years ago (give or take) a couple of guys contacted me asking me to be in a documentary movie they were making about Internet Marketing.

They were cool enough guys and all, but I said no.

The reason I refused is because I just don’t want that much recognition. I don’t want to be rich and famous. Just rich. Besides, you can end up looking pretty stupid in a documentary that you don’t have editorial control over. And I do a good enough job of looking stupid on my own, thank you very much. Don’t need any help there.

…So I passed on the offer.

A few months go by and I discover that these guys have gotten just about everyone in the Internet Marketing Scene to be in the movie. …Queue the peer pressure.

So now they enlist my friends to put the pressure on me. They used all kinds of persuasive techniques ranging from, “Dude, you gotta be in this movie.”

…To, “Frank – quit being a hermit and get in the damn movie.” ”

And finally, “What the hell is wrong with you?? Get in the damn movie already!!”

But still I held my ground. Peer pressure be damned!

Don’t wanna be in a movie. Not my thing. Too weirded out. Thanks anyway.

So time goes by and I get to be friends with the guys making the movie. They quit asking me about it and I sort of forget all about it.

They came to my birthday party and brought home made beer. Strong home made beer. Well played. Then I see one of them again at Andy Jenkins’ wedding. (I was the guy who performed the wedding ceremony, by the way. Awesome.) We shoot the shit about random stuff and a good time is had by all.

But no mention of the movie. It looked like I had gotten away scott free!

But Then They Used The Most Devastating Persuasion Technique Known To Man!

About a week ago, I’m checking my email and I see this:

Then I see a video in my email so I click on the link and it is all about how great a guy I am and how much they admire me and love me and blah blah blah…

Damn These People!

Now I pretty much HAVE to do the movie. If I didn’t, I’d be a real asshole, you know?

I mean …who can say no after such an exhibit of total coolness? Not only have these guys been super-cool to me for the past two years or so, now they’ve taken the time to create this montage video above.

Never once nagging me or hassling me …just being super nice until I “cracked”. Now I’m happy to help them and I’m proud to be in their movie. In fact, I feel kinda like a tool for refusing in the first place.

The fact is, they got me. They “killed me with kindness”, so to speak.

And you wanna know something?

This Tactic Will Work In Any Situation!

Like …oh, I don’t know … maybe your business.

You should never underestimate the power of being totally cool to people and doing good things for others. I’m not talking about being manipulative and lame. I’m talking about just being a genuinely nice person who actually gives a damn.

Goes a long way.

Picture this:

You’ve got a guy who subscribes to your “Cat Juggling” list. He wants info on how to get started in the exciting career of Cat Juggling. (The prestige!) So you send him a few videos about Cat Jugging and he digs them.

He still doesn’t buy your stuff, but he’s stoked you gave him the free videos.

Then you send him a pdf outlining a great step-by-step blueprint for really making it big in the exciting world of cat juggling.

Once again, he’s stoked. Loves it. Thinks you’re awesome.

You keep this up for another six months. All the way up until Christmas.

The guy gets his Christmas bonus check and the first thing he does is run home to your site and buys your Super Deluxe Triple Diamond Level Cat Juggling Bootcamp-In-A-Box!

It’s the most expensive thing you sell, and here’s this guy who joined your list AGES ago …happily forking over full price for it.

Why?

Because you were consistently cool to him. You were actually nice. You actually helped the guy out. A LOT.

Here’s the deal:

People Remember This Kind Of Stuff

And when you’re cool to them …repeatedly …they will buy from you.

Think about it. Even if you’re the baddest of all marketing badasses, only around 10% (at most!) of the people who come into your funnel are going to buy from you right off the bat.

They might not have the money right now, it might not be the right time, they might not believe your claims of cat juggling heroics, whatever. We both know that the vast majority of people who come into your sales funnel do not buy right up front.

Them’s the facts.

But 90% of our efforts are often focused entirely on that tiny little segment of people who are going to buy immediately.

…And we ignore the overwhelming majority of people who have come to our site, demonstrated that they’re interested our stuff, and haven’t bought yet.

Pfui.

Do that and you’re leaving 90% of your money on the table.

Here’s What To Do Next

Make it a point to perform random acts of coolness both in your community …and by giving cool stuff away to your list.

Do this every week for the rest of the summer.

Just GIVE STUFF AWAY TO BE COOL.

For example, write a blog post every week or so outlining how to solve a problem your market is facing.

A few months back, I was doing a phone consult with a guy and he asked me how to find a product to sell. I figured that if he was having a problem finding something to sell, others probably were too …so I made a video blog post to help out.

People dug it and bought stuff from me as a result. In fact, one guy bought List Control FIVE MONTHS later …and he told me that video was what made him want to learn from me when the time was right.

Hell, you don’t even have to make your own videos. Just find newsworthy information that will help your community and give it to them.

I did that very same thing a few months back and I got tons of extra sales from it. All I did was find a cool video showing how you can use Google now to get cheap ads for your site on TV …and then I put that video on my blog and told people about it.

I put a little link to List Control at the bottom and got something like $80,000.00 in sales as a result. And even the people who didn’t buy from that little link at the bottom will still remember that I helped them.

Your readers and subscribers are no different.

Oh – don’t want to make videos? Don’t have a blog? Try podcasting. Make a weekly podcast that has actual good information in it and you’ll reap the rewards.

In fact, the word “reap” is fitting.

All I’m really advising you to do is to constantly sow the seeds of coolness in your community and with your prospects and you will reap the rewards, guaranteed.

It’s really one of the oldest success formulas known to man.

-Frank

Once you develop the skills necessary to promote your business, this is when it gets fun and you start to see BIG time success.

Creativity is the ability to generate innovative ideas and manifest them from thought into reality The process involves original thinking and then producing. Creativity has been attributed variously to divine intervention, cognitive processes, the social environment, personality, and chance (“accident”, “serendipity”). Although intuitively a simple phenomenon, it is in fact quite complex. Used to refer of creating new ideas, approach that can generate and lead to a sensation creative people must always stay active and learn to keep track of their ideas at all time. You never known when the next MLM promotion idea  may occur and as an entrepreneur we must stay awake and not let them go to sleep. Here are a few examples on how to improve your creative abilities.

  • Learn about things outside your specialty. Bring ideas and concepts from one field or specialty to another.
  • Be open and receptive to ideas of yours and others: Rarely does an innovative solution or idea arrive complete with all its parts ready to be installed. New ideas are fragile we must handle with care.  We need to make sure we keep them from breaking by acting immediately.
  • Adopt a risk taking attitude: Fear of failure is the major impediment to generating solutions which are risky but would have a major impact if they are successful. Have fun with your MLM promotion and be yourself! Think outside the box my friend.
  • Engage in creative hobbies: Hobbies can also help you relax. Working puzzles, playing games help keep your mind active. An active mind is necessary for creative growth.
  • Keep abreast of the Home Business Industry: Read magazines, trade journals, research online. Make sure you are not using yesterday’s technology to solve today’s problems.
  • Avoid rigid, set patters of doing things, stay focused: Look at the problem in a fresh point of view, always develop at least two or more alternative solutions to your problem.
  • Ask yourself questions: An inquiring mind is a creatively active one. You will come up with awesome promotional ideas by doing this.
  • Have courage and self confidence: Be a paradigm pioneer.  Assume that you can accomplish anything you want. Persist and always have the tenacity to overcome obstacles that block the solution or get in your way.
  • Have a sense of humor: Laugh, smile. You are more creative when you relax. Humor may not help solve the problem but it will relax it and relieves the tension.
  • Learn to know and understand yourself: Know your weakness and strengths, dislikes, expectations, value, fears and talent.

I feel like this post is needed more now than ever for You as a Home Business Owner…

Since the Introduction of Mike Dillard’s Industry Changing Magnetic Sponsoring Course, Attraction Marketing has quickly become the most powerful communication strategy ever used to build a successful enterprise in today’s Home Based Business & Online Marketplace.

From Blogging, to Article Marketing, Video Marketing and Social Media, more and more Home Business Entrepreneurs are not only turning to Attraction Marketing to build their businesses, but many are making an absolute fortune doing so!

Today, more than ever, thanks to technology and the speed at which we are able to communicate with people all over the world, online entrepreneurs are able to create interest, brand themselves, and become a center of influence for dozens, hundreds, even thousands of people with the push of a few buttons.

Ultimately, those who do a great job of marketing themselves most often, will also generate the most interest, the most opt-ins, and the most sales.

So the question is not whether you should start using Attraction Marketing to grow your business, but more importantly how do you do it so that you too can be like the many people using this strategy to make money online every day.

What’s the Secret Sauce? Well, let’s just say that there’s a whole lot more to successful Attraction Marketing than just uploading some videos to You Tube or posting a few articles or blog posts online and then expecting the world to beat a path to your door.

There are many ingredients that make up a successful Attraction Marketing campaign, however, the real question is not so much about doing it, because how difficult is it to speak in front of a video camera or whip out your keyboard and start typing away? We speak and type every single day without much thought.

To really break it down to its least common denominator, Attraction Marketing is not about what you are doing, but more importantly, who you are being.

Let’s do a short exercise:

Think of a successful Attraction Marketer that you know of. Video Marketer, Blogger, Article Marketer, Network Marketer, Information Guru – anyone will do.

Draw a picture of him or her in your mind right now. Who do you see? What do you feel? What is your impression of him or her?

Know Your Market – This is a critical piece to the puzzle, because if you don’t know who you are marketing to, you are essentially marketing to everybody.

Whether they are pretty or handsome (or not), they’re probably attractive enough, if you’ve just thought about them. Not in any other way except that they have an attractive personality, right?

Why is that? What draws you to them? What makes them so attractive to you and perhaps thousands of others, that you think of them often and enjoy listening to or watching them? Crack this nut and you’ve just answered the million dollar question!

So, here’s the answer.

I call what you are about to read, “Secrets” because hardly anyone ever discloses this information in detail when they talk about how to become a great Attraction Marketer. But I’m going to take you inside the world of exactly why it works! It’s so obvious once you know these secrets, that it won’t take much for you to implement them into your own marketing.

So let’s dive in to 3 Killer Attraction Marketing Secrets Guaranteed to Sky Rocket Your Leads, Sales & Online & Success.

Killer Attraction Marketing Secret #1 – Being Comfortable with Yourself

Think about your favorite Attraction Marketer again. Notice how relaxed they are in front of a camera? How about expressing themselves on the phone?

How about their story telling in print? Whether you watch them LIVE or in a video, read their writing or listen to them on a call or webinar, they exude a very high level of peace, posture and power.

They are confident and have high self esteem. They are natural and fully self expressed. Deep down, they know that they are not perfect, yet we perceive them to be, even if they sometimes choke on their words, stutter or even spit on the camera! This is because they don’t mind being vulnerable, they don’t mind being transparent and they don’t mind being fully exposed.

When you have a healthy self esteem and a good self image, you begin not to care how others judge you, because you have come to a place where quite frankly, you no longer judge yourself. This is a very attractive quality and it will draw people to you like kids to a candy store. Pay close attention to those you find yourself attracted to.

It’s in these comfortable moments of brilliance that they develop a tremendous influence over you and this is exactly how you will do the same.

Killer Attraction Marketing Secret #2 – Know Your Market

This is a critical piece to the puzzle, because if you don’t know who you are marketing to, you are essentially marketing to everybody. And when you market to everybody, you market to nobody.

Knowing exactly who you want to resonate and connect with in your marketing message will not only allow you to speak directly to them, but with them. Because even though you are the only one communicating in your video or blog post or article, there is a two way conversation taking place in the mind of your audience and when you can get into rapport with that person’s psyche, you are strengthening your relationship with them, deepening their trust for you and developing what is called purchase readiness.

In other words, when you know exactly who you are marketing to, what they want, what they don’t want, what they like, what they don’t like, what their challenges are and what motivates or inspires them, and you actually articulate this in your message, you get them into full agreement with everything you are communicating, making them want to get to know you more, receive more of your value and perhaps even buy from you.

After all, this is the reason you are in business – to develop a market and make sales! Now, how about those who do not resonate with you or your message?

Well, chances are that they will form an early opinion of you and only use your messages to waste time, procrastinate or justify their reasons for not liking or buying from you – and this is okay.

Just as you are not going to please everyone or sell everyone, you are not going to connect with everyone. When you come to understand that many successful marketers are either loved or hated by their lists, including friends, fans and followers, you will truly come to understand why they make their millions.

You see, as you become more and more of a successful Attraction Marketer in the Direct Marketing Industry, you will realize a very powerful strategy called, Polarizing Your List.

This simply means that you aim to attract only those who are in your market and don’t mind detracting those who are not. Always remember, the larger your list grows, the more unsubscribes you are going to experience. Don’t let this scare you. It’s an opportunity to really learn your market better so that more of your subscribers stay tuned in to you and your messages.

To better understand and know your Market, you want to create what is known as an “Avatar”. Just like the movie, an “Avatar” is a fictitious character that possesses all of the qualities of the “perfect” lead or subscriber, friend, fan, follower, customer or client.

Knowing exactly who your market is will allow you to clear a path to your target and hit it more often than not. Once you know the “Avatar” of your perfect prospect, then and only then can you speak their language, on their terms and in their world.

This Attraction Marketing Secret alone has made many, many Attraction Marketing Millionaires!

Killer Attraction Marketing Secret #3 – Offer Value

Now although this is probably the most often heard advice in our Industry, this Secret is probably also the most misunderstood.

What exactly does it mean to “give value”?

Well, first, let’s go back to Secret #1 & Secret #2. When you possess a high level of self comfort, as stated in Secret #1, this instills confidence and
trust into your audience that you know what you are talking about, and this fact alone is very attractive to others.

You see, we live in very uncertain times for most people and to know that someone else is confident and steadfast on their way to security, is very comforting. And, to know that they can follow this confident, steadfast person to a safe haven, is even more comforting.

Even if you are a new entrepreneur or just got started in your business and don’t have a clue about how to be successful yet, but come off that you know exactly what you are doing based on how comfortable you are with yourself, people will pay attention to you and will be influenced by you and your message.

This doesn’t mean that you should stay at that level of ‘not knowing’, but the mere fact that you stand for something you believe in, especially in these uncertain times, is what people are looking for and buying.

So the first value people receive from you, is your Leadership and it’s the most sought after value in our Society.

Then, the next value your audience will receive from you, can be found in Killer Attraction Marketing Secret #2 – knowing your market.

The value you deliver in this secret is the value that people receive from feeling a connection with you, being understood and even listened to.

This is very powerful in today’s marketplace because the level of personal interaction between people has been severely reduced by the nuances of  technology and more people today than ever have become an island of themselves, limiting the connections they have with the outside world, besides those people they follow on the Internet.

By simply “stating the obvious”, there is an unspoken agreement between you and your audience and by doing so, this “agreement” actually trips a psychological trigger that will most likely lead them to take an action.

The more of these triggers you touch on in your Attraction Marketing Message, the more action steps they will take, ultimately leading up to a sale of whatever you are marketing.

Finally, the message that most people will truly associate with the most value, is that which comes with knowledge or information that you share with them.

When you…

A. Share something new
B. Confirm something that they’ve already suspected
C. Validate something that they already know to be true

you reduce tension and increase cooperation. You can even tell a story that illustrates a point and creates the same outcome. Or perhaps it’s sharing some ancient wisdom now showing up in your life in the form of new understanding where by you making it more clear for others, you also make it more clear for yourself.

So no matter what value you offer or how you deliver it, what matters most is that you are offering something that others will find interesting or inspiring, even entertaining!

This will captivate your audience and make sure that they look forward to your next communication, whether it is delivered by email, video, blog post, article or simply… just a Tweet!

The key is to stay consistent and persistent, and make sure that when your audience thinks about the next great Attraction Marketer, they think of you!

Implement these strategies into your own Marketing Plan and soon enough, others will find you, admire you and follow you right into business!
