7 Kick Ass Traits that Every Entrepreneur must have Part 1 of 2

Being an entrepreneur, offline or on the internet is not as easy as you think. Especially if you are  someone who is ambitious and wants to make it big. To others this may seem like a nightmare. But with the right mindset, that nightmare can be turned into a dream come true…

1.  Passion – Love what you do
You must have a lot of passion in order to enjoy your work and get ahead. When things get tough, you will not be negatively affected like the other people who hate what they are doing. You will not lose energy because your work is a source of energy itself.

2. Persistence – Do it always
You have to do something consistently everyone single day. It is not enough just to do it once. If you want to gain more customers, work on this goal from Monday to Sunday, never missing a day. You will see results much faster. Thomas Edison failed more than 10,000 times before he perfected the light bulb.

3. Focus – Keep your eye on the ball
This means that you must not be distracted. The biggest enemy for internet entrepreneurs, particularly if you are working in a house with a TV, fridge, etc, is to forget about the task at hand because the show “The Office” is on. You must focus on your goals so that they can become a reality. The minute you get unfocused you will start to fall backwards.

4. Action – It is not enough just to know it
This is by far the greatest area where people get confused. If you go out and learn something new, let’s say an innovative marketing technique, don’t just store it in your head. Get it out of there and put it into an action plan. As soon as you have time to be committed, apply what you have learned. It doesn’t have to be big either, just make sure that you apply it in any way, shape, or form. You will get in the habit of applying and your long term success will sky rocket. This goes for your goals as well.

5. Positive perspective – The glass is half full, not half empty
Keep a positive mindset. When you are working, things can get problematic and frustrating. Do not put your attention on it. Simply notice it and look for a solution. People are dying, getting kidnapped, and turning to violence all the time. At that same moment, there is innovation, financial independence, successful businesses, sunny days, growing grass, celebration, new discoveries, and Rihanna’s nude photos being leaked (that was a joke). Choose which side you want to be on.

6. Work hard – Don’t stick with the easy stuff
If you do something and it starts to get easy for you, move on. Do not stay in the easy zone for too long because you will be bypassed by everyone. As soon as something feels easy to you, find a way to move higher so that it is challenging again. Like this you just keep moving up and up.

7. Visualize – Preview your future life before it happens
The cool thing about this is coming up with scenarios and special moments of your future life. Just imagine waking up in the morning and going outside to get your 6 figure check in the mail. Visualizing is like opening up a small doorway in your mind. It creates a possibility of what you are dreaming about to actually happen. What you have to keep in mind here is to not set any limits. Don’t envision a million dollar check when you can just as easily envision a 10 million dollar check. Hell, why not even a billion dollar check (there, I said it).

So there you have it. 7 traits you must develop in order to make something of yourself. Stay tuned for the second part of this article that you cannot miss. In fact, get notified by email. Click here to subscribe via email and be alerted when the second half of this article is posted.

McDonalds Warning on every box (like the cigarette Companies)

mcdonalds_warnings

Hey guys. A few minutes ago I thought about McDonalds (because I was eating it) and the effects it can have on people’s health. Most of us are not aware of what eating a Big Mac can do to our bodies. After going through a bunch of ways to cure this gap of ignorance, I finally had it. Let’s do what the cigarette companies do. On every happy meal bag that is sold to the customer, there should be an ad of what can happen to you if you eat McDonalds too much. Just like the yellow teeth on the cigarette boxes. Then those idiots will not be able to sue. Normally they would try to sue the company because they “did not know” that eating a Big Mac everyday for breakfast would make it so that their scale says “to be continued.” Sure, McDonalds could lose some sales because people would be turned off (not really, we are addicted remember), but at least they will save money from being sued.  Now excuse me, I have to get back to my Chicken McNuggets. Oh, and people, this may be old, but please do not leave your mobile phones at McDonalds either. Sheeesh!

Are you a Stay at home Mom or a factory worker?

Work at home moms beware! Home mailing is not as easy as it used to be. There is just one reason why home mailing really isn’t that good anymore and it has to do with the world-wide-web, also known as the internet…

Home mailing is something that has startled me for the longest time. It makes me laugh to see unemployed moms and stay at home moms go into this type of business. Before we get into this whole discussion, let me tell you what this whole home mailing “opportunity” is about. Basically you have to send out postcards and brochures. The home mailing company will supply you with these postcards and they will give you a list of people to which you can send them to. The company will then pay you for every postcard that you send that makes a sale. This means that every time someone buys something that your postcard tries to sell, you will make a fixed commission or a percent of the sale, depending on the company. They say that the reason they need you, an average mom, is because there are too many people that they have to send postcard to.

Now how is this whole home mailing thing related to the internet? The reason home mailing sucks is because you can do it much faster on the internet. Sending postcards to people’s homes is the same as sending emails to people and putting up advertisements on websites related to the product you are selling. The only difference between doing it online and doing it offline is that when you do it offline it takes much longer, it is harder to track, and it is almost impossible to “test” and see which postcard layout or product gives you the most advantage and sales. You see, selling has become something that is much easier to do on the internet. You can receive instant feedback and results when you ask someone for their email address and send them these “postcards”/ emails. The beauty of selling on the internet or marketing on the internet is that you can test almost any idea and track almost every stage of the buying cycle.

On the internet, people’s actions can be converted into numbers that can lead you to very accurate predictions. Imagine if you could accurately predict what is going to happen to a certain market or how much money you will make if you send this or that email. Even better, imagine if you could find out exactly what people want to buy and then sell it to them with confidence because you have their solution. Another great thing about doing business online is that you have the ability to get exposure from the masses in a short period of time. There are many cases where your site could be making only 25 sales per day. If you were to change something as simple as the color of your site, the amount of sales could change dramatically. This is because many people see it at the same time and have a different buying reaction to different colors. I have seen someone who was making a decent amount of sales. When he posted a video on his website, the amount of money he was making raised by about 200%. If you try to do these tests with home mailing, it would take too long for you to even draw any conclusions. And even if you did, the data would be out of date and you would have to restart again.

Are you a stay at home mom or a factory worker? Sending mail from your house is basically a factory job. You stay at home all day and send mail to other people. The job is so linear that you really don’t learn much and you do not do as much. Sending out letters to sell something is falling into the dinosaur age. Although it could stay with us for a couple of more decades, people are quickly starting to favour emails and doing it over the internet. If you are a work at home mother, the internet is the way to go. So go ahead and start learning it.
