<![CDATA[<p>What do your dreams and goals look like?</p>

<p>Are they so immense that they make your stomach hurt a little? Or are they small, reachable goals that bore you when you think of them?</p>

<p>Dreams and goals can run the gamut from being larger than life to small and humble. Which type of goal is better? There are actually good reasons to have both types of goals.<br />
</p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p>Having huge goals that "scare" you a little is important. Goals and dreams are supposed to stretch your imagination, your abilities and your character to transform you into someone new. Your goals should help you live the ideal life that you want to live, no matter how far away the goal may seem.</p>

<p>History tells us about individuals who dreamed big, despite people around them who told them to get their head out of the clouds. In fact, most successful people, whether they are politicians, business people, authors, athletes or humanitarians, have been told at some time throughout life that they were dreaming too big.</p>

<p>Don't be afraid to have big dreams and goals. Set your sights on something that at the present time seems so far out of your reach, that you know you were absolutely successful when you achieved that goal. Thinking of your big goal should make you nervous and excited at the same time.</p>

<p>On the other hand, it is also important to set small reachable goals for yourself. Your success depends heavily on your belief in yourself. If your big goal seems too out of reach, start setting smaller goals. By reaching those smaller goals you prove to yourself that you can achieve more.</p>

<p>Small reachable goals can be something as simple as working out a certain number of times per week, or reading a certain list of books. When you reach any type of goal, it feels good and gives you a boost in your self-esteem. If you start with small goals like these, while keeping your eye on the big goal in the future, you will build the confidence that you need to achieve that big goal.</p>

<p>As you achieve the small goals and check them off your list, your confidence and the belief in yourself will grow to the point where you look at the small goals as stepping stones, that will take you to the top.</p>

<p>Success comes from setting goals of both types. You need the big goals to motivate you toward success, and you need the little goals to help you gain confidence and discipline along the way.</p>]]>

<![CDATA[<p>An online business is only successful if you have traffic coming into it. In fact, traffic generation could be the most important part of your online business promotion. Without traffic your business is dead in the water. So what are some free and easy ways to get traffic to your website? </p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p>The first one is Blogging</p>

<p>Chances are, you probably have a blog or have at least have heard of blogging. But do you know how important it is to develop an informative blog that people are going to follow?</p>

<p>To have a successful blog it should be updated daily and it should have only quality information on it. A great way to keep people coming back to your blog is to frequently give away free stuff that is related to your business. It could be a free e-book that you have written or a free template that will be beneficial to the people that are reading your blog.</p>

<p>The reason that blogs are mentioned first in this article is because search engines love them and they will crawl all over them when new content is added. If you have a blog that is updated on a daily basis the chances of your blog getting ranked high in the search engines is very good. Two of the more popular blogging sites are Blogger.com, which is very user friendly and Wordpress.com, which is a little more advanced. both of these are free to use.</p>

<p>Next are online forums.</p>

<p>This is another free way to get traffic. All you have to do is start posting on forums. Do a quick search in your favorite search engine and find a few active forums that are related to your business topic. Sign up for the forum and then read through a few of the posts to get a feel for the way that things are done. Find out what people are talking about. Find out what questions they're asking. Once you get familiar with how the forum operates then simply start posting.</p>

<p>One important point to remember when posting to online forums is not to spam the forum. It is considered spam when you jump right in and start posting all about your business and products with a bunch of links to your website. In most cases doing this can get you promptly removed from the forum. This is easily avoided by just posting relevant information that will help solve some of the problems that the people on the forum are talking about. Just make sure that each time you post it has value to it and you'll never be accused of spam.</p>

<p>Something to remember with both of these traffic generation methods is that they are all about building up your reputation. If you spend some time and develop a reputation on your blog or an online forum as someone who is an expert and as someone who is willing to help other people with their problems, then people will actively seek out your posts and comments to see what you have to say next.</p>

<p>Then in your signature line or on your about me page, you can insert a link to your website or favorite affiliate program. If you have a good reputation and people value your opinion, they will click on your links almost every time to see what else you may have to offer. Both of these methods of traffic generation are free, easy and have the extra added benefit of getting targeted traffic.</p>

<p>So there you have it, two free ways that you can drive traffic to your Website. There are many more ways, but these two are simple and you can start using them right away.</p>]]>

<![CDATA[<p>Choosing to have a home business is a great step towards achieving self-reliance and financial independence. But often times when people start working from home their level of productivity drops. Why is this and what can be done to change it?</p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p>Most people's productivity at work is a direct reflection of their pier group there. At work you had many people on which to compare your level of productivity against. Now that you are working from your house you often have no measure of how productive you are, so most people's activity levels drop.</p>

<p>Also, while at home there are many distractions during the day, which can lead you astray. Television, newspapers, internet, phone calls, and laundry all lead you astray from your good intentions to get work done.</p>

<p>On key thing you can do to increase your productivity is to plan your day out, and write what you want to achieve for that day and stick to your plan. Some activities require a certain amount of time to be put into it, while for other activities you need to achieve a specific outcome. Often times it is better to set daily goals as specific outcomes, otherwise if you just set time limits, the level of importance for that activity swells to fit the time you gave it when instead you might have been finished earlier with better results if you had focused on the outcome rather than the time put in.</p>

<p>Another tip to feel more productive at home is to dress like you are going to the office. Every morning, get up, shower, and put on office clothes. Wearing your work clothes will put you into a different state of mind and will make you more productive. This will be a clue to your mind that now it is time to work.</p>

<p>Having a designated office area is another important thing. If you can have a room that doesn't have a bed in it that would be great. Also, make sure your office is clean neat and try to work with the door closed.</p>

<p>Also, many people who work from home feel shut in. It is important to get out of the house a couple of times during the day and go for a walk or drive. Going to the mall is great for a quick walk and seeing people.</p>

<p>If you decide you really can't work from home; look into renting cheap office space somewhere. In many office buildings you can find a room to rent somewhere, which is much cheaper than renting a whole office.</p>

<p>Working from home is great if you have the discipline to keep at it. It takes consistency and drive just like any other job, but it can be a great experience. Start by making your to do list for tomorrow today.</p>]]>

<![CDATA[<p>Anyone trying to make a living with Internet marketing has at least three things against them: They are working on their own, they are being bombarded with new products all the time, and they will find it very tempting to jump from one money making plan to another. How does one ever succeed online?<br />
</p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p>Self-Discipline</p>

<p>Anyone who is their own boss has to be very self-disciplined. There is no one telling you to get up and get to work. No one (unless it is your spouse) is going to tell you to get off the phone or away from the TV and do something that will make money.</p>

<p>You are on your own, all the time. It is completely up to you whether you spend one hour a day being productive or eight hours. That is why self-discipline is so important.</p>

<p>It also takes self-discipline to not spend hours going over e-mails instead of working. It is recommended that you limit the number of e-mail lists you join. Why subscribe to 50 e-mail lists and then have to spend two hours wading through your inbox deleting all those e-mails?</p>

<p>Signing up for two or three e-mail lists should be enough. Limit it to the experts you really want to hear from. Or better yet, subscribe to their RSS feeds.</p>

<p>It also takes self-discipline to not purchase every new product that comes out with big promises of making you big money or simplifying your life. The basic rule to follow is if it doesn't help you in the area you have chosen to focus in, or if you already have more than enough, then pass it by.</p>

<p>If the product is something that will help streamline your business, you might want to consider it. Does it cut down on the amount of work you have to do? Does it include leveraging your time by giving work out to other people? It might be worth the investment.</p>

<p>But if it is a product that teaches something that you really don't need at this point, then don't fall for it. Let it pass.</p>

<p>Stay on Focus</p>

<p>Which leads to the next point, stay on focus. It is so incredibly easy to jump from one thing to another. First, you need to have a business plan. Second, you need to stick with that plan.</p>

<p>If, after you have given it a chance, you find that the plan is not working, then consider altering course. But be careful you are not changing your business plan just because you have become bored with it.</p>

<p>Yes, it helps to be excited about what you are working on, but there are going to be times when everyone gets bored with what they are doing. Take a day off, if that will help, or get together with friends who are also business owners and just talk. Renew the passion you had when you started the business.</p>

<p>It is much better to sit back and renew your focus than to trash one business plan for another and then another and then another. You will discover a year from now that your income is much less than it could have been because you failed to concentrate on one plan.</p>]]>

<![CDATA[<p>A sitemap is to a website as the table of contents is to a book. The sitemap lists all the pages in the site, helping visitors and search engine robots find pages in that website. This not only encourages live visitors to return to the site, but also helps in the optimization of the site for search engines. </p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p>There are three major types of sitemaps:</p>

<p>1. indexed - The sitemap appears as an alphabetical listing or directory. The relationship among the pages is not indicated.</p>

<p>2. full categorical - The map displays all links which are classified in categories. This type was found to be the most preferred type by users as it makes it easier for them to search for certain topics in the site, and it eases comparison between and among categories.</p>

<p>3. restricted categorical - The sitemap displays all links in a chosen category at a time; you will not see all the links of a website, as compared to the full categorical type. The sitemap confines the list of links under a selected category. This makes viewing easier and less eye-straining.</p>

<p>With any of these types are techniques you can use to set up a superior sitemap. Here are six tips that you can use:</p>

<p>1. Link the sitemap only to your homepage. This will ensure that the search engine robot starts searching from your homepage down to all the pages listed in your sitemap. In this way, no page will be left unvisited by the robot.</p>

<p>2. Limit your sitemap to 30 pages. If you have more than this, the search engines might think that your sitemap is a link farm, and you will be penalized for that. Limiting the number of pages of your sitemap also prevents overcrowding of links. This will make viewing less tiring.</p>

<p>3. Check all the links in your sitemap. It can be discouraging for your visitors if they click on a link only to get a 404 error message or the page requested is not found. Or your visitors click on a link only to be shown a page that has a different topic to that of the link. You should, therefore, test your sitemap, clicking on all the links in every page, to ensure that there are no unbroken links, and that all links are indeed linked to the right page.</p>

<p>4. Give keyword-rich titles to your sitemaps. This helps in the optimization of your website. Search engine robots will search your website properly under the right category.</p>

<p>5. Provide a short description for the links. This will help your visitors to know what to expect to find in a link. This can save your visitors time surfing your website.</p>

<p>6. Be consistent in designing your sitemap with that of the other pages in your website. Use the same HTML template for all pages in your site, including the sitemap. This will establish identity and build character to your website.</p>

<p>By following the above tips, not only will you create a sitemap that is pleasing to the eye, but will also encourage your visitors to return to your site, have the search engine robots crawl through all the pages in your site, and increase your ranking in the search engines.</p>]]>

<![CDATA[<p>Lead Generation is generally regarded as necessary to run a business. Whether you have a Fortune 500 company or a small home-based operation, people who are interested in what you have to offer are essential if that business is to be viable and you are to make a profit. </p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p>Of course, word of mouth benefits all sorts or businesses - and there are ways of stimulating this - but getting started in a small business, or growing an already existing operation, requires more proactive steps.</p>

<p>A common approach is to buy leads. However, very often buyers will simply lose their money doing this, especially if you buy generic leads or those who've shown only a marginal interest in your business.</p>

<p>One of the worst strategies would be buying a list of email addresses for generic leads, especially those sold to multiple users. When someone receives an email and doesn't know who you are, forget about selling to that person. You can send out many thousands of emails and the response will be negligible - except for hostile, abusive replies!</p>

<p>Safer, and more profitable, is developing an automatic lead generation system that is either free or else costs very little to set up and maintain. In particular, you require the exact steps that will put your lead generation on auto-pilot - techniques that come with step-by-step instructions. The yellow brick road will then be paved with gold.</p>

<p>If your business requires phone numbers, this can be taken into account when you set up your free lead generation system. Design it so that your leads are not only pre-qualified but you are able to obtain telephone numbers at this time.</p>

<p>Postal leads are another solution - meaning the snail-mail variety. This is also risky, as well as being expensive. For instance, a common mistake is to mail a full package to unqualified leads. A better, and cheaper, approach is to first send a post card so that you aren't incurring costs on people who simply aren't interested or who may have already joined your program.</p>

<p>However, it isn't easy to even recover costs with postcards. Many find it really hard.</p>

<p>It isn't all just doom and gloom, though. You still need leads and there are methods which enable you to set up an automatic lead generation system, put them into an autoresponder for a series of emails, and send them a postcard later! However, to just buy leads and mail postcards has been a huge money loser for thousands of people.</p>

<p>The secret is to pre-qualify. The essential ingredient in building a lead generation system is to be sure you pre-qualify them for your offer! Fortunately, there are free and low-cost methods for doing this. Some of them will be mentioned briefly here. You should follow-up with a fuller, in-depth study of each.</p>

<p>Method 1. Viral List Builders. Techniques that encourage users to pass the product onto others, such as ebooks, jokes, cartoons, pictures, and important information.</p>

<p>Method 2. Ad Co-Op Publishing. Co-operative ventures with others who agree to place your advertising on their web pages in exchange for you doing the same with their ads.</p>

<p>Method 3. Forum Tricks. There are thousands of forums covering just about every topic. These provide opportunities to become known and to introduce readers to your informal advertising, as with your forum signature.</p>

<p>Method 4. Article Marketing Strategies. Articles are valuable as sources of content and information, as well as providing back links to your web site and pages.</p>

<p>Method 5. Special Bonuses. There are many ways incentives can be used to join your email list and to convert visitors to buyers.</p>

<p>Method 6. Reverse Marketing. Join every offer you can find that is related to your market and contact the person making that offer. They have already demonstrated an interest in your particular niche and are likely to require more quality information.</p>

<p>Method 7. Joint Ventures. Contact others who have shown a similar interest and invite them to JV with you. They provide leads and you just close the sales, offering a discount to their list.</p>

<p>Many of the costly lead generation approaches are costly failures for internet marketers wanting a profitable online business. However, it is possible to set up a successful low cost system that will automatically capture leads and build a long-term, profitable relationship with them.</p>]]>

<![CDATA[<p>Social sites have become the latest craze on the Internet. Social Marketing can also be seen as the next wave of internet marketing. Everyone has heard about social sites and benefits from such sites. Social sites provide a lot of freedom and interactivity to the user. Such sites are powered by the latest technologies like AJAX and allow users to personalize page backgrounds,style,post their music, post videos, store documents, share their favorites and connect with people. Users can also post their pictures, share them with friends and even invite or search for new friends. </p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p>But how exactly do these sites help your site and its rankings? By sending huge amounts of traffic and getting you a good ranking on search engines.</p>

<p>There are two types of social sites. One is social networking and the other type is social bookmarking. Social networking sites provide you an easy way to connect with people who share similar interests like you. Sites like MySpace, Orkut, Bebo, Facebook, Hi5, Friendster are popular among users. These sites have a huge user base and provide an excellent opportunity for advertising your site. There are also specialized social networking sites like 43Things, MomJunction, Mothersclick which cater to specific interests.</p>

<p>Some social networking sites group people with common interests, but some sites are "traditional networking sites" and allow you to search for friends based on your interests. In any case you will always have a larger audience for showcasing your site. Sites like Facebook and MySpace allow you to post your advertisements and promote your products, provided you are not spamming. If you have a really good site, you will surely find a large visitor base just by showcasing your site on your profile.</p>

<p>Social bookmarking sites provide you easy way to store, organize, manage your bookmarks as well as share them with your friends. You can bookmark any URL or page you liked and even mark them for public or private viewing. Social bookmarking sites also provide you with the option of tagging your bookmarks. Some of the bookmarking sites link directly to your URL’s thus helping your site in getting valuable back links and quick indexing. Sites like Stumbleupon, Digg, Delicious are known to send huge traffic to your site. If you manage to get on the front page of these sites, you should be prepared to handle a huge number of visitors to your site.</p>

<p>Search engines spiders love social sites and usually follow links on these sites. This means if you have your site link on social networking and bookmarking sites, your site will be indexed quickly.</p>

<p>If you happen to be using Wordpress for your blog, you should use some good plugins like Socialmarker, Socializer and Addthis. These plugins provide your site visitors a quick option to bookmark your site. Getting bookmarked from different users and different bookmarking sites will definitely help your site rank better on search engines. Some plugins like Onlywire automatically bookmark your post to 20 different bookmarking sites as soon as you publish your post.</p>

<p>It is a known fact that the video and photo sharing sites like Youtube and Flickr are visited by millions of people everyday. If you think out of the box and use your creativity, your published video will get your site the traffic you've always wanted. Some video sharing sites like Metacafe also pay you a part of their revenue just for publishing your video.</p>

<p>Like it or not, social sites have become an integral part of the internet. You need to use this opportunity to you advantage before it is too late.</p>]]>

<![CDATA[<p>You really truly should have a burning passion to build a lasting residual income. What does income mean to you now? It means having the money to eat, have shelter, pay living expenses. You need a constant income to meet your needs and be comfortable. </p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p>Mostly people's income is obtained from the work they do, the hours they put in to a job. That situation poses problems. There is a real danger, which is also a common harsh reality many people have found themselves having to unexpectedly go through. Perhaps you right now are in the condition of being in between jobs.</p>

<p>Many have faced the tribulation of lost income. It is a dire situation that happens through being let go by your employer for any number of reasons or no reason at all.</p>

<p>Downsizing, cutbacks, firings, weeding outs, whatever. Maybe you did something wrong. Maybe you did not. Maybe you got too close to retirement age. Maybe you got too worn out to keep up with production - getting overworked takes its toll. Maybe you've gotten ill, injured, or otherwise disabled.</p>

<p>In any case, having to work for a living means you are expendable and can be let go at any time. After all, there is an abundance of the unemployed looking for work. There is also an abundance of people who cannot make ends meet having just one job and need to get a second or even a third one.</p>

<p>Having reliable income is a very scarce and volatile thing. Many are struggling just to make it from paycheck to paycheck. But even the biweekly paycheck can be here today and gone tomorrow with little or no compensation available for the loss. What to do then?</p>

<p>What you have to do is not wait for then. Make things happen and grow rather than just maintaining yourself in a dead end job. The economic stability you get from working for others is transient. The reward and stability you get from working for yourself creating residual income can be great and lasting. It will also eliminate any worry about retirement finances.</p>

<p>Network Marketing your own Independent MLM Home Business can give you the security we just cannot get from regular jobs anymore, let alone the abundance and prosperity we have never been able to get from regular jobs. It allows you to build residual income, override royalty income that will keep coming in even when you quit working.</p>

<p>There are plenty of legitimate MLM Business opportunities for you provided by companies who see Network Marketing as an ideal distribution system for their products and services. Investigate them. Do your due diligence and see if you can find one you can get impassioned about. Then share that passion with others and be set for life.</p>

<p>"Network marketing has proven itself to be a viable and rewarding source of income, and the challenges could be just right for you. There have been some remarkable examples of success, and those successes have been earned through diligence, enthusiasm and the right product combined with timing." -Donald Trump, famous real estate developer, star and co-producer of the hit television show The Apprentice</p>

<p>"I am often asked if network marketing is a pyramid scheme. My reply is that corporations are really pyramid schemes. A corporation has only one person at the top, generally the CEO, and everyone else below. A true network marketing business is the exact opposite of a traditional business model. The network marketing business is designed to bring you to the top not keep you at the bottom. A true network marketing business does not succeed unless it brings people to the top." -Robert Kiyosaki, author of the New York Times and international best-seller listed book Rich Dad Poor Dad</p>

<p>Those two quotes from the "Your Business" volume 2 issue 2 article called, "Why We Recommend Network Marketing" by Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump shows that MLM has really come of age and is worthy of serious consideration. They also provide ammunition to prevent naysayers from dampening your enthusiasm.</p>

<p>So what do you want to do? Stay poor and keep getting poorer working for someone else? Or get RICH in Network Marketing!</p>]]>

<![CDATA[<p>by Dr. Robert Anthony</p>

<p>Are You Putting Off Your Dreams? Or have things slowed down recently? Is your life visibly changing the way you want it to? Or are you still stuck with the same problems? I woke up today thinking about three people who contacted me this week concerning the progress they were making reaching their goals. They each said the same thing in a different way.</p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p>Although they all made good progress in the beginning, they are now all stalled. It's very frustrating for me because I got myself caught up in their dreams. I imagined how their lives would be when they've completed the changes they needed to make. I can easily see the benefits they will gain such as a much larger income, more satisfying relationships and the pride of knowing that they are doing exactly what they always wanted to do – and earning a great living from it.</p>

<p>It's also frustrating for another reason. Although I can see the finish line, they are standing still. The frustrating part of all this is they have all the tools necessary to succeed, but now they are stuck. So why have they stopped?</p>

<p>I can't say I know the answer for each of them. I'm sure there are many reasons. But I suspect there is one cause in every case. They have come to the point where they have done everything they could comfortably do and now they have arrived at a place where they've never been before. Any new step forward, represents a step out of their comfort zone.</p>

<p>If you want to improve the results in your life, you have to accept the fact that you can no longer do the same old things the same old way.</p>

<p>Making a commitment to change your life is a big step. It usually occurs when something has happened to make you realize that you are unhappy with some aspect of your life. Often this event or circumstance will jolt you into deciding that the time has finally come to change your current situation.</p>

<p>The charge that you get from deciding to change your situation will keep you going through the early stages of your transformation. For example, it can energize and motivate you to read a book, take a course, and even go through all the details of setting up a business. All those preparatory activities are necessary and good – but they amount to nothing unless you are able to get your dream started. And getting your dream started -- actually kicking your dream into action -- is new territory. New means strange. And strange means uncomfortable.</p>

<p>Having been involved with a number of very effective training programs over the years, I've been disappointed by how many bright and ambitious students fail to finish their training. And of those who finish, less ten percent turn their hard-earned skills into substantial or measurable results.</p>

<p>Then weeks or months later they look at the courses or programs they have taken and wonder, as I'm doing about these three people now: "What happened?"</p>

<p>If you feel that you were off to a good start but are currently stalled, you need to admit to yourself that you have probably slipped back into your comfort zone. More than likely you have been deceiving yourself that you are making progress, but at the same time you are really not getting anywhere.</p>

<p>What you need to do is take action. Even if it is a very small action. Nothing you can tell yourself, nothing you can say to others, nothing you can think or feel or imagine is going to get you out of the mental bog you're mired in. The only thing that can rescue you is – to take that next step.</p>

<p>Maybe you know what that is. If you know exactly what it is, DO IT! If you don't know, or aren't sure, allow you intuition to guide you. Do whatever you feel compelled to do, but do it NOW to get yourself going again -- even if it means entering your discomfort zone.</p>

<p>I said earlier, I am disappointed by how many people start to change their lives and then stall. Many of these people are good at the initial study phase, but lose pace when it comes time to make those next steps, transitioning from knowledge to action.</p>

<p>On the other hand, I'm thinking now about many people who have succeeded . . . about the hundreds of unsolicited letters I receive from people who have taken my “Secret of Deliberate Creation” program and are now living the lives they dreamed about. All they did was just FOLLOW THROUGH until they got results. They just applied simple steps outlined in the program and the changes were almost magical.</p>

<p>What is your dream? To become a freelance artist / writer / consultant? To own your own business? To become financially independent . . . perhaps even wealthy? Don't put off the success you've always dreamed about. My “<a href="http://www.lauriemoser.com/secret">Secret of Deliberate Creation</a>” program will show you how to get started NOW and give yourself the jolt you need to make that final change to move you from where you are to where you want to be.</p>

<![CDATA[<p>Internet marketing affiliate programs can do wonders for an entrepreneur looking to have success online. When you talk with people online, you will hear an equal amount of people who have failed and succeeded. The difference between the two is minimal, but there are some simple mistakes that can be costly. Here are 5 affiliate program mistakes to avoid. </p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p>1. Not having a plan:</p>

<p>With the internet changing as frequently as it does, it is essential that you have a plan of some sort. While your plan is certain to change with the internet, having a plan will prepare you for what is to come. If you know where you want to take your affiliate program, bumps and curves along the road will only momentarily throw you off.</p>

<p>2. Selling the program:</p>

<p>It can become quite easy to get caught up in the game and begin to sell the program as opposed to the product itself. What you have to realize is that you are going to make your money off of commissions through selling the product. Too many people sign up and then attempt to sign as many other people up as they can. While it is perfectly fine to try to sign people up you are not going to get rich off of second-tier commissions. Stick to where the money can be made.</p>

<p>3. Going through the motions:</p>

<p>There is nothing worse than a salesman that is going through the motions and appears to be looking at a sheet of paper with guidelines. If you want to have success with an internet marketing affiliate program, you have to have passion and believe in what you are selling. This is not to say that every person you talk to is going to sign up or purchase something. But you will sound so much more influencing if you believe in what you are saying.</p>

<p>4. Moving too quickly:</p>

<p>While time is money on the internet, each customer is potential money as well. Take the time to talk with prospects so that you leave a lasting impact on them. Jumping from one customer to the next too quickly will do nothing for you. If you show each prospect that you truly care about them and their needs, they will be more inclined to listen. From there, you can sell your product on a more personal level and give them reasons for how your product can truly benefit them.</p>

<p>5. Be yourself:</p>

<p>The last thing you want to do is create a typical affiliate program page to sell off of. This looks too automated and far to cliche. If you want to have success, personalize your page and show people you are an individualistic. There are thousands of affiliate program sites that are identical; mix things up and make yours stand out.</p>

<p>While there are hundreds of things you can and should try to avoid with your internet marketing affiliate program, try not to get too caught up in worrying about these things. You are going to make mistakes, but try to move on without a hesitation. These are a few of the mistakes you may encounter along the way. But as long as you remain confident and goal-oriented, you will set yourself up for success with affiliate marketing.</p>]]>

<![CDATA[<p>by Dr. Robert Anthony</p>

<p>Lets face it, most of us from time to time feel that life is just one big struggle with a series of never ending problems. Yet the truth is that life does not have to be that way. In fact, it can be just the opposite. Life is not about struggle and overcoming problems. Life is about pursuing and creating what we truly desire in an easy, stress-free manner. Is there something in your life that you want, but it seems to elude you?</p>

<p>Why is it such a struggle to create the things we want? </p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p>In short, if you don't have what you want (you name it) your subconscious holds some contradictory intentions for you.</p>

<p>To put it simply, you want something and it doesn’t.</p>

<p>For example you may say, “I want more money.”, but your dominant subconscious belief may be, “Earning the amount of money I want is very difficult”.</p>

<p>Notice anything different about these two statements?</p>

<p>They are going in different directions. So after years of frustrating and contradictory messages you still don't have what you want.</p>

<p>What is really happening is that your conscious and subconscious are almost always in conflict. You consciously say, "I want more money" and then after listening, your subconscious says, "No matter what you do, it is too difficult to create that amount of money". As a result there is no agreement between your conscious and subconscious. When this happens they cancel each other out and give up on assisting you to create what you would like to have in your life.</p>

<p>What is critical to understand is the competition, conflicting agendas, and disharmony between your conscious and subconscious is keeping what you from having what you desire.</p>

<p>Why?</p>

<p>Because when your conscious and subconscious are not in agreement they produce negative emotion. And it is that negative emotion or negative energy that attracts the things you don’t want.</p>

<p>Let me explain to you what is really happening.</p>

<p>Every thought is received by the brain, which is the organ of the conscious mind. It is here that it is subjected to our power of reasoning. When the conscious or objective mind has been satisfied that the thought is true, it is sent to the subconscious mind to be brought into the world of reality through quantum physics or the law of attraction.</p>

<p>It is no longer susceptible to any argument whatsoever. The subconscious mind cannot argue. It only acts. It accepts the conclusions of the conscious mind as final. This is the point at which the uncreated becomes the created, the universal becomes individualized, and the invisible becomes visible.</p>

<p>Put simply, every thought that you think has its own energetic vibrational frequency. That thought is impressed into your subconscious mind. Then, through the Law of Attraction it will energetically attract another person, place, thing or circumstance that has a vibrational match or is vibrating at the same frequency.</p>

<p>Your subconscious mind cooperates complete with your conscious mind when it understands and agrees with what you consciously want. In other words, when you conscious and subconscious are not in conflict.</p>

<p>Notice when you are feeling any negative emotion or conflict. That is you “inner guidance system” telling you that you are not in harmony with your desire. This is your first clue.</p>

<p>So, if you do nothing else, remember that you MUST correct and STOP the negative attraction IN THE MOMENT IT HAPPEN if you are serious about getting rid of the “Saboteur Within.” That will clear the way for your conscious and subconscious to work in harmony to bring your desire.</p>

<p>If you want a step-by-step blueprint on how to correct and stop the negative attraction in your life and attract whatever you desire easily and effortlessly, then take a moment to check out my “Secret of Deliberate Creation” program. I promise you the principles in the “<a href="http://www.lauriemoser.com/secret">Secret of Deliberate Creation</a>” program will get you the results you desire faster than you ever thought possible.</p>

<title>Imagination Is Key To Business Success  </title>

<![CDATA[<p>The average person thinks of a business person as either some kind of poker-faced accountant or some cherubic extroverted sales person. You rarely read an article in the popular medium about an imaginative business person or often hear of one who is highly creative, artistic, and imaginative.</p>

<p>The popular concept of a business person espoused by the media is someone who is rather dull and linear in their thinking. They are referred to more often as "hard-nosed" and "practical." In fact, many business people themselves buy into this erroneous stereotype. </p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p>Yet imagination is the heart of business success. While corporations themselves may appear to be based on buttoned-down rules and regulations, the entrepreneurs who started them have all, without exception, been highly creative and imaginative. Those corporations that remain innovative and progressive still retain some themes of imaginative expression.</p>

<p>Napoleon Hill, in his perennially popular book, Think And Grow Rich, goes into great detail about the seminal role of imagination in business success.</p>

<p>He talks about two types of imaginative faculties: "synthetic" imagination and "creative" imagination.</p>

<p>Through synthetic imagination, a person arranges old concepts, ideas, plans, and business models into new combinations. Now while nothing new is created, the new pattern yields surprising results.</p>

<p>For example, the self-help grocery store where customers do all the work of shopping is now very familiar to us, and we can't even remember when things were different.</p>

<p>However, the original business model was to have people come up to the counter of a shop and present their list to the sales clerk who would then run around the store and fetch it for them.</p>

<p>Now, with the use of aisles, clear directional signing, and shopping carts, the job of a store is to keep it stocked and check people out.</p>

<p>In fact, even this idea of checking people out is becoming obsolete, with many stores now offering people the option to check themselves out. Thus, the customer does all the work. Pulling out and wheeling the shopping cart, selecting products, and checking themselves out, and carrying their own bags to their cars.</p>

<p>The result of this arrangement is that everyone is happier. The customer gets to be in control of their shopping experience and the retailer can handle many more customers.</p>

<p>The creative imagination borders on the mystical.</p>

<p>Here is how Napoleon Hill describes it:</p>

<p>"Through the faculty of creative imagination, the finite mind of man had direct communication with Infinite Intelligence. It is the faculty through which 'hunches' and 'inspirations' are received. It is by this faculty that all basic, or new ideas are handed over to man. It is through this faculty that individuals may "tune in," or communicate with the subconscious mind of other men."</p>

<p>An example of creative imagination is the invention of the original recipe of Coca Cola, which went on to spawn the entire soft drink industry.</p>

<p>Business, then, is far from being a game of conservative rule-playing. It is humming with imaginative ideas on how to serve the marketplace. This aspect of business is seldom mentioned in the media and we are often mislead to believe that creative and synthetic imagination is only the domain of the artist.</p>

<p>The business person, especially the entrepreneur, who starts to exercise more imagination, will notice many more ways to make money, creating new channels of supply and demand for the marketplace.</p>]]>

<![CDATA[<p>By Dr. Robert Anthony</p>

<p>I normally do not watch TV, but the other day I turned it on and there was a guy on one of those local talk shows. His name is Bill and he was telling his story about how he was wrongly diagnosed as being HIV positive, and lived that way for over six years!</p>

<p>He went into great detail about the anguish, fear and pain he had been subjected to. For over six years he has lived in fear of dying from AIDS. Now the skeptic in me wants to know why he is on TV telling his story. Is he doing it to help others, or is there another reason – such as the more publicity he gets, the larger the settlement offer he is likely to receive from the doctor’s malpractice insurance company? I’ll let you decide.</p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p>Now to be fair, let’s face facts. The fact is, the doctor’s did make a mistake and misdiagnosed him. The doctor’s mistakenly told him he had a medical condition, which at the time seemed like a death sentence. The doctors really messed up.</p>

<p>On the other hand, from my point of view, Bill has another serious life-threatening condition that needs immediate attention. And this condition is much worse than HIV. He has a serious case of “victimitis.”</p>

<p>He is living his life as a victim instead of someone who was given the greatest gift a human can ever receive - the opportunity to live a consciousness life. By conscious I mean knowing that we must live each day as though it were our last day on earth. Now the fact that he may die 30, 50, or 80 years later than he thought, is just a bonus. But the fact is, he was given the priceless opportunity to spend every day, living in the moment with conscious thought about the people he loves, what he can do to contribute to others while he is still on this planet, and the true meaning of his life.</p>

<p>Everything he did on a daily basis could have been filtered through a much more discerning filter than most of us have – which is to stop focusing on the future and live and create our reality in the moment. And there is no greater gift you can receive. But to receive it, you have to let go of the belief that you are a victim of your past. Obviously something Bill is not doing. Instead, he would rather tell his “story” and remain a victim.</p>

<p>Recently I was having a discussion with a friend of mine. During the conversation she told me about how she was the victim of terrible, horrific abuse when she was a child. In fact, this was not the first time she had mentioned this.</p>

<p>The advice I gave her was to never mention it to me ever again, or to anyone else for that matter unless she was ready to heal the situation and let it go. But in the meantime, talking to anyone about her experiences just impresses it deeper into her subconscious mind. Since the subconscious can only focus in the present moment it thinks the abuse is happening again and again, each time she tells her “story”. All this does is help her to hang on to her victim status.</p>

<p>The problem is that living as a victim is an easy thing to do… I mean why would so many people, all over the world cling so desperately to situations which victimize them? Well, here’s a list that I came up with that I share with my clients.</p>

<p>People willingly keep viewing themselves as victims:</p>

<p>1)       They can tell themselves that any failure they face in the present is not their fault because of what happened in their past.</p>

<p>2)       They can believe that people, circumstances and conditions outside of their lives are responsible for all bad things in their life.</p>

<p>3)       They can get unending sympathy and attention from others when they tell their “story.”</p>

<p>4)       They can use their ‘victim status’ to prevent them from getting emotionally close to others and facing rejection.</p>

<p>5)       They can use their past experiences as justification for why they should no longer attempt to create what will make them happy in their life right now.</p>

<p>6)       They can confirm their past programming that taught them that they are a “terrible person”, or would “never amount to anything,” or whatever other negative self belief they allowed to be instilled in themselves.</p>

<p>7)       They can feel like a hero because they are the one of downtrodden people, fighting the forces of evil, against all the odds.</p>

<p>8)       They can feel spiritual, believing they are sacrificing their life on this planet so they will receive their true reward in the afterlife.</p>

<p>9)       They can just be basically unconscious, like most victims, and have no idea what kind of a destructive and bitter cycle they are on.</p>

<p>No matter which of these reasons – or more likely, combinations of reasons they have – the end result is still the same: They will continue to lead an empty, miserable life, existing day-to-day, with no real shot at happiness and fulfillment.</p>

<p>And that is their true sickness. To be healthy, happy and prosperous, you have to be willing to release your heroic journey against all odds, and just expect and accept you can create whatever you desire from this moment on.</p>

<p>Bill (the guy with the misdiagnosis) was given the greatest gift – the opportunity to live a consciousness life. He had an opportunity to break out from the unconscious herd and live a life really worth living, but instead he has decided to live his life as a victim.</p>

<p>Now if I seem hard on him, I plead “guilty as charged.” Somebody has to be. Because someone has to figuratively slap him – and you, and me – upside the head and make us understand that every moment is a new opportunity to recreate our lives.</p>
