Trust…in Business and Life

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

Thank you for returning! Don't hesitate to sign up NOW for our FREE Newsletter… "Living Beyond the Edge…of Normal!" You will experience with us what it means to truly live life as an adventure!

Yesterday I was watching my two year old play on a bench in our kitchen. I needed to grab him so that we could take one of the other kids to soccer practice. I held out my arms to grab him and told him “we need to get going.” He lunged off of the bench into my arms.

I was overwhelmed with the amount of Trust he has in me. Had I tripped or been distracted or simply didn’t care about him he would have landed on his face on the hard floor.

This got me thinking about my other relationships in life and in business. Most of the great transactions that take place in all of life are built upon the foundation of Trust to some degree or another.

The kicker though is…if you never take time to cultivate that Trust with others…you will never know what I am talking about. Trust is not something that just happens to you…it is built upon hours and years of interaction with others.

So…for example…if you have a Twitter account and never cultivate any interaction and communication with others on Twitter…your experience is going to be completely banal or worse…non-existent…and you will wonder what the big rage is with everyone talking about Twitter. You will have your 30 friends that feel obligated to become your followers but your experience is going to leave you or them no better than when you started.

In fact…I dare say…you will be a bit worse off than when you started. This is true on Facebook as well or any other sites you choose to join. If you are not involved with the interactive process with others…Trust will never be built. And then you will wonder why other people talk about massive success and why you just don’t get it.

My youngest son Trusts me because I am continually interacting with him and taking care of him as good as I know how. I would say he loves me as well…but I am not sure what that means for a two year old. But…this brings up a great point as well…

We don’t need people to love us to Trust us. Many times Trust bridges the gap to love but love is not necessary to be successful in many of your relationships in Life and Business.

Of course…we would hope that our children and spouses and families and close friends love us…but even with these relationships it is probably more important to develop Trust than anything else. Trust actually creates the flow of life unhindered by bitterness and hurt feelings.

We all need to understand this if we are going to be successful business people. Oh…you could make a few bucks taking advantage of people…but in order to have long term success…Trust is King!

Here are a few tips to build trust in your business relationships:

  • Keep your word
  • Keep in touch/stay in communication
  • Have your attitude be that of a “giver” rather than a “taker”
  • Touch people’s lives with who you are rather than a canned approach…be real
  • Be an Encourager
  • Have a personal touch rather than always talking to the “masses”

Building Trust takes some time and consistency but mostly a True Heart…being someone who actually and authentically cares about others and who is willing to serve them.

I very much would like to hear your thoughts…


Why You Need a PERSONAL CATHARSIS to be a SUCCESSFUL Internet Marketer…

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

Are you tired of Spam? Who isn’t? If you are a spammer…I’m sure you are even tired of it from others! It is about time to start looking at your audience instead of yourself! They don’t want your spam and you don’t even want it! So…why do it? Perhaps that is what you were taught. I’m here to tell you…you were taught by someone heading down the wrong path! Guess what that means for you?

Internet marketing, contrary to the message of so many spammers out there, is not an “easy” business. It can be unbelievably rewarding but it is certainly not “easy” to get the cogs of momentum going in the right direction. Weren’t we constantly told growing up: “nothing that is truly worthwhile is easy?” Don’t lose heart and grow weary of doing good! There is an entire world out there just waiting to soak in what you have to share with it. To those of us waiting with great patience for you to break out of your shell and start to fly…we want you to know the journey toward success is worth every bit of your blood, sweat and tears along the way!

So you may be wondering…”what in the world are you talking about it? I make good money spamming my way through life.” NO YOU DON’T!” If you believe that then you don’t know what good money is. Besides, I know you’re miserable inside! There is no way to be able to find that great “peace that passes all understanding” when you are constantly bugging people and trying to take advantage of them. In fact…some of the greatest joys in life come as a result of “giving” not “taking.” When you give yourself away…that is really the only time you will ever find yourself! Plus…as a bonus to this serving and sharing style of living…you may just find yourself making REALLY GOOD money on top of it all.

So…if you are spamming me, my friends and the rest of us…you need a cathartic moment to “see the light.”

Okay…you’re still reading but you are not a spammer. You may have complete respect for your prospects or clients. You may be out there doing your very best… but you are getting nowhere.. You may be asking questions like: “what am I doing? I can’t seem to get anywhere in all of this. I thought I was doing the right things but nothing seems to be happening.” Or, “Will someone help me because I have no stinking idea of what I am doing?” Or, “What am I doing wrong? Why can’t I get a break of some kind?”

I know these questions myself. I have had to struggle with them. You know what? I actually found some answers and so can you. Whether you are completely missing the boat in your marketing efforts by spamming us to oblivion…or, you have tried to do everything right and it just doesn’t seem to work…I have some great news for you…THINGS CAN CHANGE…YOU CAN CHANGE!

I had to come to my own personal cathartic moment AND SO DO YOU! When I determined for myself that nothing was going to stand in my way, something clicked inside of me and began to change. It was the beginning of my catharsis. You know what I did next…I decided to get some training and education.

As I began to learn the nuts and bolts, tricks and strategies of internet marketing, my catharsis started to take a hold of me. And, as I began to realize that this business is a whole lot more than that…it is about who I am and what I have to share…I started to feel the beginning of the cleansing of my doubts and fears that were standing in my way take effect.

You see…I was constantly trying to figure out what everyone else was doing so that I could simply copy them. But, it wasn’t until I actually received training that I began to realize (thanks in large part to the training) that the only path to success for me was for me to feel free and soar myself.

There is a passage in the Bible that goes something like this: “they that wait upon the LORD will renew their strength…they will mount upon wings as an eagle, they will run and not grow weary and walk and not grow faint.” (It is not exactly like that but I think you get the idea).

You see…everyone has been given a unique set of characteristics to live within this human interactive environment. In order for it to really work properly…we need to walk these things out. That means…YOU NEED TO SHARE YOU WITH THE WORLD! Otherwise…the world will always be lacking that part that you would add to it. This, my friends, is the beginning point of catharsis. Then, when you realize the profundity of what I am saying and then make a conscious choice to follow through with it…that is where things really start to rocking and rolling.

I did not automatically turn into an internet marketing guru simply by becoming educated and not even by realizing that I have something important to share…but the process had begun. No, I then actually had to make a conscious choice to succeed. I had to actually make a conscious choice to not let anything stand in my way of success. The education is fantastic and I will never stop learning myself and then turning around and sharing with others. But, once I had found that something deep and powerful and fantastic inside of me, I was able to come to the point of choosing to succeed or die trying!

I had to first understand that I have something wonderful to share with the world but then I had to commit to truly believing it and then doing it! I needed to start sharing and it took a mountainous commitment to do so. The “do or die trying” mentality came from a growing passion deep inside with an understanding that I have something great about me that needs to be shared with the world. “Be damned if I die doing it” was the attitude that ended up really thrusting me into a cleansing of thought, fears, doubts and so forth. The great news though is that if you truly have this type of moment for yourself where you come to this point of committing to your own self and your own future…(sometimes it may feel like you are dying) you really can’t help but become successful!

So here are some of the ingredients that helped march me on to the moment of a cathartic change (you will notice a common theme of pressure here. I think you will find that the pressure in your life or the fear of what may happen if you don’t step out and make a change is very powerful indeed):

  • I have a wife and seven children and we have some real needs and also some amazing dreams together! I was completely exhausted from not having those needs met and those dreams fulfilled…this played a role in my personal catharsis. (The dreams are not fulfilled yet but we are on our way).
  • I had experienced quite a drop in income after the meltdown of the real estate market. We still have a fair amount of real estate that is in a good long-term position…but the real estate didn’t create enough actual income to live comfortably. It is a good supplement but I had been relying on a good deal of buying and selling to create a comfortable income.
  • The overall financial pressure of not having enough income on a regular basis was beginning to wear us down.
  • Here’s a positive pressure:  I found I absolutely love connecting and sharing with people who I am and I wanted to continue doing it forever.
  • Another bit of positive pressure: I absolutely love being at home with my family…
  • I was sick and tired of chasing after things that did not truly “resonate” with me
  • I was sick and tired of being unsynchronized (if that makes any sense at all…it certainly does to me and I hope you understand)

All of these things played a role in my own personal catharsis to come to the point of “no return…” to the point of “success or death.” As I mentioned earlier…getting to this point almost always assures success…so it is a great point to be at.

You have heard the saying “being at the end of your rope…” well this is where you need to be. And, in this case when you find yourself at the end it is best to let go. Force yourself into “do or die” mode by letting go of everything that makes you feel “safe and secure” and learn how to fly. If you never come to this point…chances are you will not succeed.

Internet marketing is not easy but it is amazingly fulfilling. It takes a great deal of force to get the momentum going…but once you get it going the law of inertia kicks into effect and a powerful force of momentum takes on a life of its own. The great promises of “easy money” from the spammers is never true…however, the law of sowing and reaping, or the law of reciprocation…or you can call it the law of attraction, kicks in and money seemingly starts to search you out.

It takes effort, earnestness, commitment, time, energy and so much more to get the wheels turning in the right direction.

You also must learn the mechanisms of how to do internet marketing. Otherwise, you may find yourself simply spinning your wheels. You may spend countless hours heading in no particular direction if you don’t know what you are doing.

So, part of this cathartic moment is coming to the realization that you need to learn as much and as fast as you can how to do this. Timing is essential as well. We are at the beginning of the wave. It is best to catch this wave now…then you can ride it for a good long time.

If you want to be a successful internet marketer you need to do a couple of things:

  1. You need to find your true self!
  2. You need to come to your own moment of crisis where you either make the tough choice to fly or let it die.

It is my desire to teach you how to fly…but I can’t make that choice for you…it has to come from that realization that you are incredibly unique and have something powerful to share.

So, I leave you with these two questions:

Are you ready for a personal catharsis of your own to start truly heading down the road of financial freedom and the life you really want to have?

or

Are you going to continue to muddle through, to continue to spam, or continue to spin your wheels gaining no forward momentum and nearly assuring yourself of ultimate defeat?

Let’s stop the madness now and get off of the merry-go-round. I want to help you. Let me! I want to help you find that “you” deep within that will give you the strength to commit at the”do or die” level and intensity.

Then, you have the choice to never stop. You can continue to journey further learning countless steps of how to become an internet marketing master and then to be able to write your own ticket to the life that you want to lead.

I look forward to hearing from you…please be ever so kind and leave a comment. I would love to continue this discussion with you. Also, if you want to learn more about the powerful life that I am talking about and the steps that you may need to take to get there…please take me up on my offer and let me help you! Please walk with me on this journey and together we can create the opportunity for powerful change for your life and business!

Thank you so much for sharing your precious time with me. I know it is so very valuable!
