Steps to Success in Life

Here is an article I read from Readbud. I took the liberty to post it here because I found the topic very relevant.
=================
Fact: Success is something of which we all want more.

Fact: Most people believe that success is difficult.

Fact: They're wrong - it's not!

Success isn't really that difficult. There is a significant portion of the population here in North America, that actually want and need success to be hard! Why? So they then have a built-in excuse when things don't go their way! Pretty sad situation, to say the least.

For those of you who are serious about having more, doing more, giving more and being more, success is achievable with some understanding of what to do, some discipline around planning and execution of those plans and belief that you can achieve your desires.

The Truth About Success

The first thing to remember about success is that it is a process – nothing more, nothing less. There is really no magic to it and it's not reserved only for a select few people. As such, success really has nothing to do with luck, coincidence or fate. It really comes down to understanding the steps in the process and then executing on those steps.

There are basically six key areas to higher achievement. Some people will tell you there are four while others may tell you there are eight. One thing for certain though, is that irrespective of the number of steps the experts talk about, they all originate from the same roots.

From my perspective then, here are the six key steps:

1. Making the decision

2. Clarity - developing the Vision

3. Focus – having a plan

4. Commitment – understanding the price and having the willingness to pay that price

5. Belief – believing in yourself and those around you

6. Taking action – practice Ready, Fire, Aim…

Making the Decision

If success is a process with a number of defined steps, then it is just like any other process. So, what is the first step in any process?

Making a decision to do something – this is the first step. We all know that nothing moves until someone makes a decision. The first action is always in making the decision to proceed. This is a fundamental step, which most people overlook.

So, make the decision to move forward. Commit your decision to paper, just to bring it into focus. Then, go for it!

Clarity

Having clarity of purpose and a clear picture of what you desire, is probably the single most important factor in achievement. Why is Clarity so important?

Without clarity, you send a very garbled message out to the Universe. We know that the Law of Attraction says that we will attract what we focus on, so if we don't have clarity, we will attract confusion.

Consider the following analogy:

You are going on a cruise, but when the ship sets sail, you discover it has no rudder. What happens? One of 3 things will occur:

1. You will sail along until you collide with an immovable object, after which you will sink to the bottom

2. You will run aground and become hopelessly stuck in the mud

3. You will drift aimlessly until you arrive back at the original dock

Trying to go through life without clarity is similar to sailing a rudder-less ship – no good thing can or will happen!

The sad thing is the majority of people have no clue about what they truly want. They have no clarity. When asked the question, responses will be superficial at best, and at worst, will be what someone else wants for them.

So how do we get clarity? Simply by asking ourselves lots of questions: What do I really want? What does success look like to me? Why do I want a particular thing? How will this achievement change my life? How can I use this success to make a difference for others?

Introspection is the trick. Understand what you want, why you want it and what it will do for you. This is a critical factor, and as such, is probably the most difficult step. For this reason, most people never complete this aspect – then wonder why life is so difficult!

Once you have a clear understanding of what you want, it is critical that you engage in goal setting – specifically setting SMART goals.

SMART is an acronym for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time Sensitive - S-M-A-R-T. Knowing what you want and setting SMART goals as mileposts on your quest cannot help but give you clarity!

Focus

Focus is having the unwavering attention to complete what you set out to do. There are a million distractions in every facet of our lives. Telephones and e-mail, clients and managers, spouses and kids, TV, newspapers and radio – the distractions are everywhere and endless. Everyone wants a piece of us and the result can be totally overwhelming


So, how can we stay on course with all the distractions in our lives? Willpower is a good start, but it's very difficult to stay on track simply through willpower.

The best way is to develop and follow a plan. Start with your goals in mind and then work backwards to develop the plan. What steps are required to get you to the goals? Make the plan as detailed as possible. Try to visualize and then plan for, every possible setback. Commit the plan to paper and then keep it with you at all times. Review it regularly and ensure that every step takes you closer to your Vision and Goals. If the plan doesn't support the vision then change it!

Along with your plans, you should consider developing an action orientation that will keep you motivated to move forward at all times. This requires a little self-discipline, but is a crucial component to achievement of any kind. Before starting any new activity, ask yourself if that activity will move you closer to your goals. If the answer is no, you may want to reconsider doing it at that time.

I coach my clients to practice the 3 D's – Defer, Delegate or Delete. Can the particular activity be done later? Defer it! Can it be done by someone else? Delegate it! Does it need to be done at all? If not, consider deleting it! Posing these questions will help to keep you focused on what is truly important!

Commitment

Commitment is something that comes from understanding that everything has its price and then having the willingness to pay that price. This is important because nobody wants to put significant effort into something, only to find out after the fact that the price was too high.

The price is something not necessarily defined as financial. It could be time, effort, sacrifice, money or perhaps, something else. The point is that we must be fully aware of the price and be willing to pay it, if we want to have success.

Belief

This is perhaps the single biggest obstacle that all of us must overcome in order to be successful.

We all carry a lot of baggage, thanks to our upbringing. The majority of people carry with them, an entire series of self-limiting beliefs that will absolutely stop, and hold them back from, success. Things like "I'm not good enough", "I'm not smart enough", "I'm not lucky enough", and the worst, "I'm not worthy" are but a few of the self-limiting beliefs I have encountered. We carry them with us like rocks in a knapsack, and then use them to sabotage our success. So, how twisted is that?!?!

The old expression is absolutely true – whether you think you can or you can't, you're right!

One of the main areas that I work on with my clients is shedding these non-supportive beliefs and replacing them with beliefs that will help them to accomplish their desires.

It is truly amazing the damage that we, as parents, can inflict on our children. So why do we do it? For the most part, we don't do it intentionally or with malice. In the majority of cases, the cause is a well-meaning but unskilled or un-thinking parent, who says the wrong thing at the wrong time, and the message sticks – as simple as that!

And it's not just parents that are the cause - teachers, friends, clergy members or anyone else that has influence in a child's life can be a contributor to these self-limiting beliefs!

The bottom line is that we must shed the bad and replace with good beliefs.

Taking Action

"Nothing changes until something moves" – this is the battle cry of author and journalist Robert Ringer. And he is absolutely correct. Not all of the decision-making, clarity, planning, focus and belief in the world, will get you to where you want to be, without taking action!

Action – putting your plans into play – that is what will get you to the destination. Don't get caught in the paralysis of analysis, or in the conundrum of Ready, Aim, Aim, Aim, Aim…

Get the oars in the water and start rowing. Execution is the single biggest factor in achievement, so the faster and better your execution, the quicker you will get to the goals!

Conclusion

So, there you have it; the six steps that will help you to the fabled land of achievement and success! You now have the opportunity to push ahead and reach your potential. No more excuses - make the commitment to take action TODAY!

Figure out what you want, put a plan together to achieve it, understand the cost, believe in yourself then go and get it!

Make Money Online By Reading and Rating Articles

I just recently stumbled upon an opportunity that allows me to make money online while I learn by reading articles and rating them on topics that I personally choose.

Clixsense and The Money Making Opportunity
Since I joined clixsense, I have been wondering if the $10 annual fee was worth it. I thought I would be able to get back the investment within a weeks time. I discovered that the flood of ads was only at the beginning, now they are coming just in trickles- 1-5 ads a day. I began wondering if it's still worth my time. But still I persisted.

Today I realized that there is more to clixsense than just clicking ads and making a few cents a day. It was through an ad in clixsense that I discovered the money making opportunity I am talking about here; and it's free.

Readbud
In one of the ads in clixsense, I came upon readbud.

If you like reading, or one who is often hungry for knowledge and information especially practical information, I highly recommend Readbud. You will not only enjoy reading and learning, but also get paid by doing so. You, of course, can choose the topics to read about. Wouldn't that be great?

Readbud pays better, too. I just read 3 short articles awhile ago and have earned $0.19 cents. Not bad really. It's actually great for me because I also learned something new from those articles. Besides I will not be talking about readbud here if I thought otherwise.

Readbud allows you to redeem your earnings once you have reach its minimum threshold. You can opt to be paid via paypal. (See my previous article on how to get a paypal account.)

Sign up for PayPal and start accepting credit card payments instantly.

To learn more about readbud and what it offers, just click here. Don't forget to share with me your experience with readbud here in the "comments" link below.

The Importance of PAYPAL

Anybody who wants to do business using the internet must have a Paypal account.

Why? Because paypal is one of the most secure way of paying and receiving payment online. It makes your online business transaction convenient for you.

If you intend to do both buying and selling or receiving payments over the internet I suggest you create a business account with paypal. It's free. All you need is a valid email account and a credit card that you will need to enroll yourself for a business account. Just follow the instructions as prompted to create your free account.

Sign up for PayPal and start accepting credit card payments instantly.

AFFILIATE MARKETING AND SOME OTHER TIPS ON MAKING MONEY ONLINE

Over the last 6 months I have been trying to figure out how to make money online. These are the things that I have learned...

There is no quick rich scheme to making money online. If you want to make real money online, you have to work on it, give your time, effort and some money (for tools and resources). Sure there are free ways to earn, but even then, you won't earn enough to satisfy you and you'll want more. Thus, there is a need to somehow spend. Of course there are ways to spend wisely and therefore keep it to the minimum.

To succeed online, you have to learn as much as possible about internet marketing and all the related stuff. Your time is definitely a great investment in this endeavor. You'll have to read. learn from others who have done the business ahead of you especially those who are considered leaders in the industry.

There are a lot of scams in the internet. There are many out there who are just after your money and would not care if the products or services they are offering you will actually help you make money online or not. So if you are interested on something- product and services alike, make sure to google it for reviews and what other users may have to say about the product or service. Don't just buy immediately. Be prudent to check out what others have to say about the product or service. Look for honest to goodness reviews.

The best way to earn online and make real money fast is to sell something. Sell a product, service or even just an idea.

The internet is a vast virtual market. It covers the whole wide world! Just imagine even if you're able to capture even just 1% of that whole market.

But what can you sell now?

If you already have an existing brick and mortar business, you can start from that. Check eBay and see what people are buying and also selling there, and you'll have an idea what to may sell.

But what about if you really don't have anything to sell. That's not a problem. This is where affiliate marketing comes in.

What is AFFILIATE MARKETING?

Affiliate marketing is when you sell somebody else's product or services online and you get commission whenever you make a sale. This route to making money online is great for beginners who usually do not yet have their own products.

As an affiliate, you don't need to create a product or service. You don't need to set up a website or make a salespage. Not yet for now.

As an affiliate, all you have to do is drive traffic to the website of the product or service you are selling. When the sale is made, you get commission.

You can for example affiliate yourself with clickbank. Clickbank offers a wide array of digital products from different sellers which you can sell and earn commission from. Clickbank affiliation is free.

Or you might want to be an associate (it still means affiliate) of amazon.com. Amazon sells not only digital products but also a lot lot more.



Another great affiliate program I've found is Low Stress Income. Like clickbank it is also free. But if you wish to fast track your learning you can download the LSI guide for a minimal fee.

Those are just among the sample affiliate programs that you can join.
=========
Tip:
When you land in a webpage, and you like their product/service and want to be an affiliate, just check on the small prints usually found at the bottom of the page. Look for the keyword affiliate and click on it. If they have an affiliate program it will open to a new window where you can find information on how to be their affiliate. Just follow the instructions and make sure you read the agreement.
=========
Once you have chosen whom to affiliate with, it's time for you to drive traffic to their websites using the respective unique links they have given you. Your unique links will ensure that every lead that ended in sale will be credited to you.

So go try it now!

AN HONEST REVIEW OF GDI and/or WS DOMAINS

In my quest to make money online I dared to make some investments here and there just to learn more on the different systems available online.

My general practice is to go for those make money online systems that are free or will only entail me a minimal investment of money for me to start earning something online.

Thus, when I stumbled on the ads for GDI or Global Domains International Inc. which distributes the .ws domains worldwide and they were offering a 7 day Free trial, I decided to give it a try. Besides there was an assurance from the Team from whom the ad I came upon that they will give me the step by step instruction on how to make the most of the system so i can start earning residual income.

GDI offers .ws domain names and web hosting. To sign up with GDI means that I maintain a website and/or engage their webhosting for a monthly fee of US $10. In order for me to make money online and better yet earn a residual income from GDI it is preferred that I use my ws website to promote the GDI business and promote it so that I will earn a commission for every successful referral that I make.

Since GDI espouses multi-level marketing strategy, I as a customer may also receive commission from the referral of those whom I referred and those they will subsequently refer themselves into the business. Moreover, GDI also gives bonuses to those who are able to refer 10 or more in a week's time.

As I mentioned earlier, I took the 7 day free trial and immediately went to implement the step by step guide given to me by my upline.

I paid some campaign ads with Yahoo and did some ads using some free marketing network. I was able to get 2 sign ups within 6 days.

But it was not the result I expected.

On the 6th day of my trial, I decided to end my account with GDI. My foremost reason being- I do not have the financial capability to sustain the monthly fee and the advertising expenses until I get the business to make money enough for it to pay for itself. I estimated it will probably take me around 3-6 months to achieve this.

Thus, I tried to cancel my account online. But unfortunately I discovered through the instructions given on the GDI Homepage website that cancellation should only be done over the phone for security reason.

I immediately called GDI long distance but nobody picked up the phone. Consequently, I wrote an email through the support team regarding my cancellation request.

The GDI support promptly responded and gave me the option to call them again or be called at my convenient time. Thus, I gave them my contact numbers and my preferred time.

I would say, GDI is really professional about their business because they did call me to verify the intent of my email.

Given the chance to do the GDI business when I am more financially capable, I think I'll do it again. It's just unfortunate that my current earning currency is not in US dollars.

Yeah, maybe next time.

Is it for you? If you can spend $10 and a bit more for marketing every month for 3-6 months, why not give it a try. But I don't have any guarantees that you'll earn. It depends on how much you are able to convince others to also sign up and join you in this make money online scheme.

Make More Free Money By Upgrading

Addendum to my last post on earning FREE MONEY online through Clixsense...

Recently, I have decided to upgrade my Clixsense account to premium by paying the required fee of $10. I did this because I wanted to know the real difference between a premium member from an ordinary one (free account).

I discovered, it makes a lot of difference! You have more opportunities to make money online if you are a premium member.

If you have a free account in Clixsense you only get to have about 1-5 clix to view daily. It's too little actually. But I found out when I upgraded my account that it makes so much difference.

Once my account was activated to premium, I discovered my clixsense toolbar showed 468 clix to view! Yes, 468 clicks to earn free money from, compared to the 1-5 that I got when I was only using the free account.

So, let's do some math...

If you invested $10 as your annual fee, and you earn 1 cent for every 30 seconds for every ad you click, you'll only need 1000 ads to get back your investment. That's recoverable within a day or a few days.

1000 ads means 30,000 seconds. There are 3,600 seconds in an hour. It means you can do at most 120 clicks in an hour or $1.20/hour. Your $10 investment for a year can be returned to you easily then!

Remember, you don't just make money from clicking ads. You also earn free money every time somebody joins Clixsense through your referral. So your $10 can be recovered easily!

So, go upgrade your account to premium if you have not yet done so. Do your math and see how much you want to earn free money on the side every day or every month and devote the required time to do Clixsense and make money online.

If you don't have yet an account with Clixsense go here to REGISTER NOW. Remember, you have more opportunities to earn if you are a premium member.

By the way, you need a credit card to upgrade your account. It's safe. Don't worry.

Tips on How To Earn FREE Money Online Through Clixsense

Here are some tips on how to earn free money online by just viewing ads as you do your normal and/or regular net surfing at home or wherever you are.

You will earn money. Yes as in $. BUT, it will only be by the cents per action. Not much, you say. But come to think of it, you are just surfing the net as you always do, but for just a few seconds (or minutes or hours as you desire), you can devote your time viewing ads that will pay you some cents.

Mind you, the cents you earn on each of these ads when gathered together will soon become a whole dollar for you and later the $1 becomes more dollars… How’s that for you? But that’s free money!

Well maybe some of you will be excited of this prospect. Maybe others will not. It’s up to you. But just the same, I will share these tips with you here on how you can earn some free money by just following these instructions.

Here's what you do...
1. Open a free account with Clixsense. (Just click the link pls.) You may join here if you are 16 years old or more.

c. If you want to target more ads to click, check all the boxes under Interest in your profile. Note that once saved, changes to your profile can only be made after every 90 days.
d. You may opt to upgrade to a higher membership for more benefits if you wish. This is highly recommended if you want to earn more. Among the benefits will be greater commission and more ads for you. However, please note that the upgrade is only good for a year. Thus, make sure you will get back what you have invested by doing your work.
2. Now click on the “Affiliate Program” link. Copy and paste your affiliate link code given to you to a notepad in your computer.
a. A Notepad may be opened by clicking “start” on your computer. Click “run” and press ok. That’s where you paste your affiliate link.
b. Now save your notepad by clicking file and save as. Give your file a name and put it in a folder of your choice in your computer. You will use this file later when you start inviting people to join you in Clixsense.

4. By the way, remember your log-in name and password. You’ll need them everytime you have to click an ad to earn your free money.
5. When you have started earning your free money online, you may want to upgrade your account to premium so you can earn more. But of course, you can upgrade now and earn more earlier. Your choice!

What to do when ads come by…
1. If you have installed your Clixsense toolbar, you will be notified when you have ads to click and get paid. Just click on the notice and it will bring you to the log-in page of Clixsense. So do log-in.
2. Now look for the ad links (usually found at the bottom of the message, and click on them one at a time. Wait until the 30 second timer (usually flashed on the left side of your computer screen) ends and you are advised to close the window.
3. Go to the next ad link. Again, wait until the timer ends before moving on.
4. Press the refresh button below the message if you have more ads to click.
5. Once an ad is clicked there is a notice that appears that tells you you have been credited for viewing the ads.

If you want to participate, buy or join on any of the ads that appear on your screen, that’s entirely up to you. That is a personal transaction now between you and the advertiser.

I hope this guide is useful. And I hope that you will be earning free money online as much as you can.

Don’t forget to drop some feedback for me regarding this tip.

God bless!

Researching On How To Make Money Online

It's been quite a while since I published my last post. But don't you worry. I have just been busy doing a lot of research or study to gather more tips and ideas on how to make money online.

While going over tons of materials that I have discovered- some, I bought them but many were for free, I realized that making money online is not really that EASY as I initially thought.

Although I have my current mentor, I also want to explore some other ways that I can make money online. So I am making my own research on the other areas of internet marketing. Hopefully i can incorporate all these things I have researched and eventually make my own system in earning online.

The internet is a vast resource of tips and ideas on how to make money online which some would be offered for sale to you and some given free. However, it is important that you should know how to sort them out - those information on making money online that are useful to you and those that are not. Thus, in my case, I created different files for these materials in my computer.

One thing I find necessary if you plan to download materials for free, or to buy them over the internet, is to use an email account exclusively for this purpose. I tell you, your email will be flooded with a lot of offers- some okay and useful tips and ideas on making money online, but a lot of them will be junk or recycled idea of someone else.

So, before you start loading your computer memory with all these materials on how to make money online, create first a new email account for this purpose. And then, be prepared for the onslaught of email from every internet marketer in the whole wide web!

Why am I telling you this? Because it's important that you should know what you are embarking on as you try to make some money online. Yes, dear friends, research or study is a key component of making money online. You can't go through it blindly!

Don't you worry! If you are hesitant to do it yourself. I'll help you. In my future post I'll try to summarize the things I have learned, and maybe even share with you the materials that I have found useful. So make sure you come back and check on my blog for updates on what I have discovered...

How To Set Up A Blog

"How to set up a blog". I have promised you this post. It's finally here!

Before I will give you the instructions on how to set up a blog, let me first define what is a blog or blogging ( especially for those who are not familiar with these terms: blog or blogging).

What is a blog? A blog is the condensed name of "weblog" or "web log". It is a private webpage published by an individual or a group. A blog may also be referred to as a website.

A blog is like a diary, only it is done online. To "post" means to write or display something on the blog. Hence, you may post your thoughts, comments, articles or news, any information, photos, videos and/or audios.

A blog can be just a blog to share something about yourself with your family, relatives and friends or it can be for the public. A blog can be an avenue to sell, promote or market something. When you post something to a blog, it is blogging.

Over the years, blogs have become so popular that even if the bloggers (the ones who blog) did not intend to make money online they eventually did so as they were offered opportunities by advertisers and marketers. (But this will be another topic that I will post about later in the near future...)

Meanwhile, first things first. Let me share with you here the basics- how to set up a blog.

In creating a blog, you actually have a choice to use a private domain or your own website (example: www.you.com) which you have to spend for. Or, you can start blogging for free by using the free blogging services of the likes of Blogger, Yola, Wordpress, etc.

For purposes of having a feel of blogging or how to blog, let us use BLOGGER to set up a blog.

Instructions:
1. Create a Google account by visiting www.blogger.com. On the Blogger webpage, there is a button that will allow you to create a new Google (Gmail) account in minutes. If you have an existing Google (Gmail) account, you can skip this step and move on to the next.
Note: When creating your Google account, you will have to provide some basic information, including your current email address. You will also be asked to create a password.

2. Now that you already have a gmail or google account, go back to Blogger. Sign in using your google account and password.

3. Choose the "Create a blog" option on the Blogger dashboard. By the way, Blogger allows you to create and manage about a 100 blogs with your account. You can manage all of them using your "dashboard".

4. Name your blog (blog title). Choose something that is easy to remember. You may choose a title from any of your hobbies or interest or something that will describe the content of this particular blog. Make your title something catchy, yet not extremely long.
The name or blog title you choose will be the first part of the URL or web address of your site. The URL for your site will be http://yourblogtitle@blogspot.com.

Money Making Idea - Sell Your Unwanted Stuff

This money making idea just came to my mind as I was reading some internet materials. I find it a very bright idea indeed.

All of us someway or the other have stuff we no longer use or need- clothes, shoes, bags, baby's things which have already been outgrown by our children, books, and even furniture and equipment, etc., that we still keep at home or in our closets.

Sometimes we just simply does not know what to do with these unwanted stuff that we just keep them stacked at home and forget all about them. At other times we simply donate them to charities or maybe, just throw them away. But for some, they sell them at garage sale, at flea markets (or tiangge to Filipinos) or trade them for something with friends or relatives.

Do you know that you can also do the garage sale over the net? Yes, there are many avenues, one of which is Triple Click. It's free. Learn about it. Just click on the ads below:




You will not only de-clutter your home and create space for your new things but it will also give you the MONEY which you may use to buy new stuff that you'd been fancying about or what ever you wish to buy.

I find this a very bright money making idea indeed! Wanna try? Give me your feedback if you tried.

God bless!

Anybody Can Make Money From the Internet And the Opportunity is Limitless

Yes, anybody can make money online! However, it is important that you must have the right mindset first. If you want to earn BIG, you have to put in more effort.

Making money online is not as easy as it sounds. Just like any money making endeavor, it entails some work (many times, a lot!), patience and perseverance. Thus, it means you have to learn (usually by reading and practical application), then try what you have learned, review/evaluate what progress you're making on what you have done, then continue improving on it. Then, you reap and enjoy your rewards- making money online!

Are you willing to learn and be patient learning about internet marketing and making money online?

Come join me as we explore what the world wide web can offer us to earn money through the internet.

Meanwhile, start assessing what are your interests and hobbies. I personally find it easier to talk or blog about them than any other topic. It can also be a gauge on what type of products or services you may be able to market, that is, if you were to do affiliate marketing or selling.

Who knows, your interest and/or hobbies may be the very business that you will create in the internet to market to the world wide audience.

In my case, I love cooking and baking. So I'm blogging about it in Filipino Food Recipes and Cooking Tips. That's http://fromsunshineskitchen.blogspot.com.

It's so easy for me to blog about my interest! My interest is part of my system, and I can talk about it endlessly. See my point?

You can actually start your blog draft in a Word document or Notepad. Save it in your computer or USB for later, when you have created your website or web blog.

I'll talk about how to create a blog in my next post... Til then!

God bless.
