Top 6 Ways to Learn and Get Motivated or “Who wants to go on a Cruise?”

Posted on by

I’ve been on a reading/learning kick for the past few month and we know we need to get motivated. So here are my Top 6 Ways to Learn and Get Motivated.

  1. Jim Rohn – If you’ve not heard of Jim Rohn, I’m very sorry. I recently found him on the recommendation of a friend and he’s changed my outlook toward money and earning. The legacy Jim Rohn left us for personal development will influence people for many years to come. Please, take time to hear him speak and watch his videos. Many of his work is on YouTube and you need to watch him to understand why he’s at the top of my list. Power of Part Time by Jim Rohn on YouTube.
  2. Les Brown – Wow! When I found Les Brown, I was amazed. He brings a fire and a passion to the masses that will get anyone going, no matter what your business or goal. His is a wonderful story of building himself up from very little. He is Mamie Brown’s Baby Boy and he will explain to you why “IT’S POSSIBLE!!!” and “You Gotta Be Hungry!!!” on YouTube.
  3. Family and Friends – Whatever we are doing, don’t forget our “Why”. Don’t forget the family we sacrifice for and our friends who push us. Even if they try to cut us down at times (and they can do both), remember, to keep our family and friends in our life. I want to go out and make money and have security and grow as an individual, but I never want to lose my family and friends. What is the sense in having money and cars and education and neat toys and trips to exotic locations if I turn my back on the people I want to share my life with. You kids will remember how you included them or how you pushed them away. Your buddies won’t like you if you won’t spend time with them. Remember your family and friends.
  4. Mentors – A mentor is anyone who trains, imparts wisdom on and shares knowledge with a less experienced colleague. This person can be a coach, a preacher, a father or mother. He or she could be a neighbor, but no matter what the original relationship, this person takes an active interest in your future success. They share hidden bits of knowledge or they will lead you on the path to find the hidden knowledge. Remember, it’s hidden for a reason and a mentor can uncover them for you. Ask questions and get to know someone who is succeeding at what you want to try.
  5. Books and Guru’s – Now this is a combination of options. Jim Rohn and Les Brown can be considered Guru’s, but they are primarily motivational speakers. This list also involves learning and each topic has a couple hundred books written about it and experts in that field. They put thousands of hours of study and experience together so you don’t have to. I’m reading a great book right now by Eric Worre called Go Pro: 7 Steps to Becoming A Network Marketing Professional. This book has opened my eyes to getting out and talking to people correctly for the right response. I’ve also finished Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad Poor Dad. This book should be in every 8th Grade Finance class. What? The 8th Grade doesn’t have a Finance class? See where I’m going with this?
  6. Internet – This is a given of course. You are reading this using the internet. Right now, there are approx. 1 billion Google searches every day, 300 million Internet users reading blogs, and 2 billion videos viewed daily on YouTube according to a 2010 study and you know those numbers have grown in the past 3 years. {source} At anytime, you can find information about any topic from all over the world with many different view points and with many different opinions. You are bound to find a site the is saying what you want to believe to help you learn the correct way to share your product and get you empowered to make life happen. So get out there and find it. Or if you can find it…Share it. You be the change in the your world.
“Don’t be distracted by criticism. The only taste of success some people have is when they take a bite out of you.” – Zig Ziglar. This can also mean your internal criticism. How many times have we stopped ourselves from doing what we know is right because our internal monologue talked us out of it? Don’t listen to negative. Embrace the positive.

As always, please Contact me for information on savings and earnings for you, your family and small business. And also, “Who wants to go on a Cruise?” I DO!!! I’ll let you in on how to go on a cruise. This is a very limited time offer and I need to hear from you soon. I believe you can do it.

Why? How? Now!

Why? That’s what we all ask. Why? Why do we need to change? Why can we make a difference? Why do I want to change my life? People want to know Why we are doing what we do. It’s a valid request. I believe our “Why” has to be big enough to push ourselves to change.
I have a “Why”. My mother was diagnosed with cancer and as you all know, medical bills are outrageous and we need more income. It was a wake up call for me. I won’t get rich sitting in a cube working for other people. I put in 45+ hours a week and it’s not building me anything beyond a paycheck. I know what I make each year and I know it’s shrinking everyday. Gas goes up, movie prices go up and health insurance goes up. I’m tired of saying “I can’t Afford that.” I want to say “I’m going to find out How to Afford that”. I see people around me doing better and I want in on it. I’m tired of telling people ‘No’ because of money or the lack there of. I’m tired of carrying a loan balance. I would rather be tired from working hard than financial frustrations. Most of us know and live with the fact that we could be out of a job at anytime. The plan to work 40 hours a week for 40 years then retiring isn’t the norm anymore. We all need to have a back up plan.

I am tired of not living to my full potential or even half of my potential. 2 months ago, I was at the exact same place I was 5 years ago and I don’t want to be in that place anymore. I need a change. Don’t be in the same place a year from now. I have helped people all my life and I’ve found a way to help people earn a part time income to assist my full time job. You can do it, too. I have faith in you. Give it a shot and start doing something.

My story isn’t different than others and it’s lived everyday. We work hard and spend our time for a company or someone else, at the same time, we don’t set aside enough money for ourselves, our kids or our future. I believe we can set extra aside for our fortune with a part time job; a plan B. The potential to add Thousands of dollars a year to your pocket is here. We just have to make it happen. Make the change and step out into the world with your own part time business. I will help you and I can show you how. Contact me and I believe and I know you can change your life.

Jim Rohn says: If you don’t like how things are, change it! You’re not a tree.

He also reminds us: “I’m working full-time on my job and part time on my fortune.  But it won’t be long before I’m working full-time on my fortune. . . can you imagine what my life will look like?”

Can you imagine what your life will be like?

How can I save money?

There I said it. How can I save money? Or to be more exact, “How can I save you money?” I’ve been asked quite often lately, how am I able to save money for people, families, and small businesses? The answer is group buying power. I believe combining our numbers to negotiate for savings in a buyer’s co-op style plan is the way of the future. I believe I provide businesses and families amazing value and factory direct pricing because our numbers are growing everyday. This allows us to enjoy discounts and savings that are reserved for Fortune 500 companies. You don’t have to work for a big company to get them, but if you do work for a big company, this membership allows you to save in other ways, also. Factory Direct pricing on furniture, flooring and home improvement along with savings on cell phone plans, rental cars, and discounts on new and used cars is available for everyone that can save you thousands of dollars on things you will buy anyway.This is just the tip of the iceberg. Contact me for more details.

If you own a small business, I can give your employees the benefits of group buying power. Small businesses gain online advertising along with Merchant Credit Card Processing savings and payroll processing savings from the industry leader. I offer savings on legal and technical support as well as a professional advertising dept to provide low cost commercials for your business. Small businesses can take advantage of online and mobile directories along with banner ads and newsletters. As a small business owner, you can take advantage of the advertising, the payroll savings and the credit card processing. This is on top of the already big savings for you, your family and your employees. Contact me for more details.

Keep in mind, if you are an enterprising individual and want to add an additional revenue stream working part time, the tax deductions will add even more savings along with the money. I can show you how. “How can I save money?” Tax deductions can help. See my Tax Deductions article for more details and Contact me for more details.

Remember: “It’s not what you say out of your mouth that determines your life, it’s what you whisper to yourself that has the most power!”

Top 6 Things I Learned Co-Hosting Outside the Cinema

Posted on by

Here are the Top 6 Things I Learned Co-hosting Outside the Cinema with Bill By Force and Mr. Chris. For those of you who aren’t aware, Outside The Cinema is a weekly podcast that focuses on different forms of cult movies; anything from Horror to Exploitation and Noir to Martial Arts and back. They have been doing this for over 4 years and do not miss an episode. Even multiple back surgeries don’t keep these guys away from putting on a show every week along with bonus episodes like the recent Adam Greene interview and the occasional music podcast for some variety. The show also has segments by Reverend Scott and Eric Reanimator. Scott is notorious for twisted humor and Eric is a deep backlog of music history. This team and their show is a great learning experience for anyone ready to start their own business. These are my Top 6 Things I Learned Co-Hosting Outside the Cinema.

6. DO IT! Here is what matters in life. Living it. Making things happen. Don’t let it happen around you. If you want to do anything, if you want something to happen, if you want that special moment…Make it happen. You do it! Bill and Chris saw other podcasts and said, “I want to do it”. He did it. If you want something, go for it. It won’t drop in your lap and no one will give it to you.

5. It’s Work. The great shows don’t come easy. Bill and Chris along with Reverend Scott and Eric work hard to put a great show out for the fans and friends who listen. We the listener take for granted just how much work goes on behind the scenes before the mics are even turned on. I’m not creative enough to even guess at how many hours Rev. Scott has to sift through for his time. The editing Eric does adds up quickly and Bill and Chris have to watch some pretty bad movies. All combine to put a great show, but it comes from work. The good news is that it pays off. Maybe not financially, but they prove doing something you love for people you care about adds to your life. Nothing comes easy and it requires work.

4. Take Care of Your Customer. We don’t pay for the show. It’s a free download and I don’t have to sign up for anything. But that doesn’t matter, because the guys take care of us. If someone puts their trust in you and your business, remember to take care of them. If the guys stopped thinking about the fans and their friends, it wouldn’t take long for their listeners to find someone else to spend their time on. Same holds true for your customers. Treat them right and remember they are why we do what we do; to help others. If you don’t take care of them, someone else will. OTC takes care of us, that’s why we come back for more.

3. Tell a Story. Every week, I hear new stories from OTC. They review 2 movies, they have a new top 6 list, Eric drops music knowledge and Scott makes us laugh. They tell stories. As a business owner or marketer or whatever you do that attracts others, you must tell stories. People love stories. We don’t hear facts and figures as much as we love to hear stories that motivate us and cause others to follow us. People are asking 3 questions: “Who are you? What do you have? And Why should I care?” As they listen to you, they are thinking: “Can I do this?” and “Is it worth it?” Your story and experience will motivate them to join you or contract with you. Bill and Chris tell their stories and we want to come back each week because we want to know more of what they have experienced.

2. Use the Internet. This may seem like an easy thing to know already, but this show couldn’t work 10 years ago…maybe even 7 years ago. The technology and society have merged online. Get your business online and interacting with customers from many different walks of life using the internet. I still hear people today, “It won’t work online”. Really? Stories can be told online. Pictures and videos are used everyday to promote goods and services on a personal level. The internet isn’t going anywhere and the longer you stay off of it, the farther back you will be playing catch up. I sat in Bowling Green, Ky and interacted with the guys near Boston. Even with some minor tech issues at first, we were able to make a connection and if you can make a connection, you can make a sell.

1.Be Excited About Yourself. This was my regret. I love this site and I love what I do, but at the end of the show, I didn’t come off as excited as I usually am. I had an outlet to share my excitement and I was worried about coming off too enthusiastic. It’s better to regret the things you did, than the things you didn’t do. And I didn’t show my excitement given the opportunity. And rightly, Bill called me out on it. That taught me a lesson. Sell yourself. Sell your business and be excited for yourself. If you are able to get an audience, let them know what you believe and get them excited. Use your stories to cause curiosity and excitement to stir them into joining you and your business.

Did I have a great time with the OTC guys? Oh yeah. I really loved doing it and I hope this article didn’t come off as an ego stroke for the guys, but if you look at circumstances from the correct angle you can learn new lessons.

Thanks again to Bill Fulkerson and Christopher Bricklemyer for their time and a wonderful show. I was on Show #277 for anyone curious. Their shows can be downloaded on iTunes and you can watch live at TV.OutsideTheCinema.com
