256: Break the Cycle, Get Motivated and Do What Matters to Make Money
Do you know how time seems to speed up as you get older? The solution for that is to change up your experiences and do new things to slow time back down. Get out of the usual routine.
- Go on a trip, spend weekends off the computer, walk, run or drive. Go to the movies. (Not TV.)
- Productivity. Shut off email, phone and Facebook, and complete four money making tasks per day. Wake up early. Drink water.
- Anchoring. If you're not making money at the computer, you associate computer time with "all that frustrating stuff." Know when you're "stuck" and leave the computer when that happens.
- Stop resting on your laurels. You'll never get today back, ever again. Fish before you're hungry and don't try to play "catch up" so often.
- Small wins. What can make you $10 or $100 today?
Know what questions you're answering in your mind. Know why you're doing what you're doing. For example, maybe the current problem you're trying to solve is to complete a website. Don't worry yet about making sales or dealing with refunds. Get the website COMPLETE first.
Sell what you sell. Membership site. Single payment. Deliver some videos that get them from point A to point B in four milestones of 60 minutes or so. Most people want beginner training.

Internet Marketing: Solve One Problem At a Time
It really bothers me when I see people stressed out about the wrong things online (although, if you've been worried, it hasn't been you fault up until this point)...
Worried about what people will think about me or if there's a single typo on a web page... but in five years, or even one year, will anyone even remember?
Obsessed with having a beautiful web page or "just the right branding"... but what if I told you that those uglier websites make way more money than the pretty ones? And making more money is the point...
Worried about refunds... make some sales first!
Worried about running out of space or bandwidth with your web host... probably won't happen and worry about that problem IF (a big "if") that ever becomes an issue...
One step (or one problem) at a time.
- Do you have a website yet? If not, let's fix that...
- Do you have an opt-in page I can use to subscribe to you?
- Do you have a sales letter with a FUNCTIONING buy button?
- Do you have an email followup sequence? (most people are missing this one)
- Do you consistent get people signing up and buying from you? (Traffic)
I want to make it clear, easy, and repeatable for you in our course here: Income Machine

254: Red Zone Marketing: Make Your Marketing Exciting, Engaging, Unique, Focused, and Helpful from the Right Messaging and Branding with Maribeth Kuzmeski
Maribeth Kuzmeski from RedZoneMarketing.com has some breaking news: most companies' messaging sucks! They don't have a value proposition, story, elevator speech, or anything of the sort. Instead, specialize in something specific, focus on what's in it for your customers, model your competitors, and think about the outcomes/emotions you can provide for people.

Formula for an Easy Book on Amazon
The other day, I asked my subscribers about what they were working on and what they planned on accomplishing by "Friday" of that week...
A recurring theme is that people are either listing a bunch of things, possibly more than they'll realistically complete (sound familiar?) or it's a lot of different things -- sounds like lots of switching gears and putting out different fires... sound familiar?
I have great news... with a little bit of focus (and following a system) you can get all those money making tasks of yours done. The secret is to do things QUICKLY that way all the little
"must-do" things in your business don't pile up...
And how's this for speed? Everyone needs a book, whether it's to land clients, sell products, land joint venture partners, etc. and everyone "thinks" it's "supposed" to be "hard" and take
6 months, 12 months, 24 months... Well... how about 12 hours?
That's right... just a few weeks ago, I woke up at around 6AM with an idea for a book... within 30 minutes, I was speaking it out, and less than an hour later, it was done... a 30 page,
9000 word book...
I took the afternoon off and saw that Amazon gave the "okay" on the published book around 6PM that evening...
So it's possible to do things fast... and... did you know that publishing a book (Kindle and physical) is completely free? Amazon just takes a cut... click here to check out the whole story:
