My Take-Away From The Seminar

Hey,

I hope this post finds you doing well!

I went to an Internet Marketing seminar last weekend and most of the attendees and speakers were also members of the Warrior forum, the seminar was called Practical Profits. Some of the attendees recognized me from the forum or from my Google Places course and that was flattering, but it’s not the reason for this post.

There is a major insight that I’ve had at the seminar, something that allowed me to make more money than ever in January 2011 and the funny part is that we all know about it already – we just don’t use it.

It’s ‘Leverage’ and the ’80/20′ rule.

If you want to make a lot more money without working a lot more, you need leverage. For us Internet Marketers, the biggest leverage point that we can have is a list of subscribers and a list of affiliates. Also, and that’s super important, it’s a network of people that can help us to get the word out.

One of the speakers on the event was Keith and he showed his results. He was able to make over $250k in just 8 months, he got started 8 months ago on the Warrior forum and nobody knew him and he was well aware of it.

So he looked for leverage, he approached some of the hot WSO sellers to promote his first product for him, to run a WSO with him and most of them said no – but he didn’t give up and one guy (Rob aka CCMusicman) said yes. Keith got Rob to work with him and that way he leveraged Rob’s reputation and success to get his own name and product out.

Long story short, the WSO was a success, he then used this success to approach other Warriors and then marketers outside of the forum (now leveraging his successful WSO) and they told their friends about it.

8 months later he’s speaking at an Internet Marketing event and he banked over 250k.

Now that’s leverage! And that’s what you have to look for in your business as Internet Marketer – doesn’t matter if you do Offline, Affiliate Marketing or whatever.

That’s exactly what I’m doing right now in my business and you should do the same.

I recommend to start with the time that you have at hand every day, how can you leverage it better? (hint: not by hanging out on forums or buying the next best thing)

Study the 80/20 rule if you don’t know what it is or if you know, THEN FREAKING USE IT!

Look for the 20 percent in your efforts that help you the most (time,money,method) and focus on these task only! Then turn it around and look at the 20% of things that do harm your efforts/business the most.

For many of you, just to give you a hand, the problem is ‘distractions’. So ask yourself, what is distracting me the most? Incoming emails? Warrior forum? Facebook? Buying new courses?

Whatever it is, you NEED to get rid of it if you want to be successful. Immediately!

It’s your own fault if you don’t do that. Don’t go to a forum complaining that IM doesn’t work for you if you spend your time in a wasteful way.

Focus on what is important, on the things that give you the most and get rid (or at least avoid!) anything that keeps you from achieving your goals and dreams.

Here are the good news:

A new day starts tomorrow and keep in mind that
you past doesn’t equal your future. No problem if in the
past you got distracted easily and if you haven’t been
as productive as you wanted.

You can start all over tomorrow, set your goals and get
your to do list ready and take massive action. The new
year just started and it’s in your power to make it
your best year ever.

Just do it – NOW!

All the best,
Mario
