The blueprint for success was written to the new internet marketer who is wondering how to market or be an affiliate marketer. While everyone will show you ways and means to how to market, these lessons are based on my experience and watching so many people fail.
2. If you have read the introduction to this course on internet marketing you will
have learned that to succeed one needs to have desire to succeed and this is all
which matters at the beginning. The one has to decide on some basic goals,
write them down and stick to it. Read them daily and enhance them along the
path.
3. Remember all those areas will contribute to your success. If you are feeling like
some of those areas have been neglected more than others, this next assignment
will be about improving it. I know that many of you would like to dive into
business world as this is one of the reasons you are reading it, but believe me
taking time and designing your life with all its aspects is much more important
than accomplishing just business goals.
4. The next assignment is to design your next year in all 4 areas. You already know
what worked for you last year and what didn't. Now write down all you want to
do in next year in your four areas. Once you created list of general plans for a
year, decide which of those steps you will complete in first 6 months of this
year.
6. Once you are finished with this, right down your first 3 months of this year.
When this is completed, write down your first month's plans for this year. Be
truthful to yourself and realistic. Don't write down things which may be very
ambitious but hardly doable. You will be only disappointed if you don't get close
enough to what you want. E.g if your current salary is $40,000 a year. Don't
plan to make $400,000 by the end of this year. If your goal will be $60,000 this
is 30% increase which every successful business would consider as very solid
accomplishment. Also be very specific.
7. The more specific you are the more likely you will be able to accomplish what
you want. The important part of this process is to write down all your plans. 8
years ago I have read a book by Brian Tracy where he told me to write down my
goals. Guess what, they all happened. He teaches that there was an experiment
done at Harvard University where students were told to write their goals. Bear
with me as I take those numbers from memory, but this will give you a general
idea. It turned out that only around 3% of them wrote their goals. 10 years later
those students were contacted and interviewed. All students who were in these
3% were making income at least 5 times higher than any student out of 97%
remaining percent. 1% of the students out of the 3% group was making 10 times
more than anybody else.
8. When you write down things, you are making it official. You also have to
concentrate on things which you want to right down and then you start seeing
them better. This acts like brainstorming session where you are the only one who
participates. In addition things which are written down make you accountable.
You know that this goals are written down somewhere and when you read it next
year, you don't want to disappoint yourself.
In addition your subconscious mind is registering this and does work for you,
much like with driving a car. Notice that sometimes when you drive, you don't
even remember what happened while you were driving. Your subconscious took
care of your driving. Isn't this wonderful? So now, if you want that things happen
to you, write them down.
9. Spiritual
Meditate each day for at least 20-30
minutes
Read one fiction/entertainment
book each month
Go to the movies/opera/museum
once a month
Read one biography each month
10. Relationships
Go out with my wife twice a month
Go to the park/walk with the entire family each
Sunday
Visit friends at least once a month
Talk to family in Poland at least once a month
11. Health
Keep my weight goal
Go to the gym at least 2-3 a week
Run at least 2 times a week
Take my vitamins
12. Business
Look for partners and like minded people
Get into social network world and use it to grow my business
Run at least one promotion each month
Run or participate in at least one seminar
Make my business available for mobile market
13. So as you see these are very high level goals which I'm
then breaking down into more specific goals in the 6, 3
and then one 1-month scale. On top of this I have daily
goals which I make day before. Again, if you want things
happen for you, write them down. What doesn't get
written down, won't happen.
It is now important that I get your feedback here and me
know your high level goals of yours for the next year.
