Is “Sand” Killing Your Dreams?

In his legendary book “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” Dr. Stephen R. Covey gives a wonderfully simple and powerful illustration about priorities.
Imagine a bucket and a pile of rocks. Some of the rocks are big, some of the rocks are small…and some of the rocks are so small they are like sand.
What’s the best strategy for fitting all the rocks in the bucket?
If you put the small rocks in first, you don’t have room for the big rocks.
But if you the big rocks in first, the small rocks flow around the big rocks and all the rocks fit in the bucket.
The bucket is your life. The big rocks are the most important things in your life…family, dreams, goals, friends, etc.
The tiny, sand-like rocks are the trivial things that are not important at all.
Covey is pointing out that many of us put the tiny rocks in first. We let the trivialities of life get in the way of achieving our big goals.
The ONLY way to achieve your big goals is to put them in the bucket FIRST. Make them a priority. Carve out time on your calendar and put them in FIRST. Everything else needs to wait, until you’ve dedicated time to those goals every day.
For example, if starting an online business and achieving financial freedom is a goal, then you need to carve out time NOW to make sure it happens.
If you don’t it will NEVER happen. The million-and-one little grains of sand will ALWAYS fill your bucket first.
If you say you that something is a priority but don’t put it in the bucket first…well, you’re lying to yourself. Plain and simple.
So, if your goal is to start an online business, use the Covey method. Start you day, every day for the next 21 days, with Matt Lloyd’s proven MTTB system for making $1000, $3000 and $5000 commissions.
Fill your bucket wisely. Get started today…

Unplug the info-IV for good…

We live in a micro-bite age.
It’s so easy to hop on our computers or phones and Facebook,
Tweet, Google, Pin and YouTube information whenever we
want to.
And for some people that’s all they do.
Consume…consume…consume.
Why do we do this?
Because, it’s far easier to remain distracted then doing
something important.
When you look at your daily actions, it comes down to
you deciding whether you want to keep consuming
value, or to start producing value.
I choose to leave poverty and become a producer.
To do that you need two things:
1) Eliminate overwhelm. You’ve got to turn off that switch
and get some real focus. Think for a moment of what the
biggest obstacle is that’s holding you back, and figure
out how to fix it. The solution is usually a simple one.
2) Have a sure-fire system. One that you are confident will
work with reasonable effort and commitment.
Because if you don’t feel like you have a system that you
can start on and can follow “step by step” to success,
then you’re going to remain overwhelmed and you’re
going to keep consuming and searching.
It’s a ruthless loop to be in…
If you really want to see some near effortless break-through’s
in these areas, then you’ll want a system that will eliminate
overwhelm by giving you only “ONE THING” to focus on.
And…
You’ll want a process that you can follow step by step that
will guarantee results.
Spend a few minutes and read the letter below. Then, you’ll
be well on your way:

What’s Missing?

I was doing some reading up today, and found an interesting
strategy from a guy that’s been called the guru to the guru’s,
and is just an all around brilliant person.
It’s just three simple questions to ask yourself everyday.
Especially… when you’re stuck.
1- What’s working?
2- What’s missing?
3- What’s next?
(I’d recommend you write those three questions out
on a post it and stick it somewhere you can see it
each day.)
Now the questions are simple, but they take some real
thinking, and can yield you big results if you actually
go through them every day.
I’d even take this a step further, and when you find out
what’s missing, you should start to rank yourself on
how much you’ve improved on it, from one day to the
next on a scale of 1-10.
Then, you simply try to get a little better on it each day.
Let’s illustrate:
What’s working for you may be that you’ve become
really good at spotting quality launches and ranking
for an affiliate page.
What’s missing is that maybe you haven’t got any
sales yet, though you’re getting a little bit of traffic
and working really hard.
What’s next is that you could start getting more
“quality” traffic, and learning how to create an
irresistible bonus offer that people feel they
must have more than the product itself.
Not surprisingly, those are the exact three things
many people are having a challenge with right
now.
In fact, if you’re into affiliate marketing at all, there
are a LOT of “what’s missing” elements that you
likely have.
I know I did before I finally started to figure things
out.
The pieces quickly fit together for me after I
watched this no cost Online Workshop that
reveals why the old affiliate model is dead, and
how you can use the “new rules” to dominate
massively, and at will…
Check it out, and you’ll also be getting a
bonus for watching this valuable presentation:
Make yourself some popcorn or your favorite
treat, and enjoy the show!

Is Your “Instrument” Holding You Back from Online Success?

Abraham Kaplan is famed for having coined the concept of the “Law of the Instrument”. 
It’s a very simple concept…
“Give a small boy a hammer, and he will find that everything he encounters needs pounding”. 
It’s sometimes paraphrased as, “If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.”
And it means, that if all you have is one…
Perspective, Skill, Tool, Talent, Resource
Then you will try to solve every problem from that perspective or with that tool, skill, etc. 
It limits your ability to solve problems. 
If you’re only perspective is, “The best way to succeed is to go to college, get a corporate job, work 40-60 hours a week, and move up the ladder”, then you’ll try to solve every financial problem with a J.O.B. 
A traditional job is the hammer. And everything looks like a nail. 
This is the “Law of the instrument” that locks most of society into a perpetual “hammering”. And that hammering eventually starts to look like beating your head against a wall. 
If you want real financial freedom, you need to find an instrument that truly works. 
And, the only real path to financial independence is to run your own business. 
The “hammer” of a traditional job is just going to give you brain damage. 
So, when you’re ready to pick up a new instrument…a new perspective…and start your own business, MTTB is the safest, most-proven, lowest-risk method to getting started. 
Don’t spend the rest of your life beating yourself with a hammer. 
Get started with MTTB today…

How to Wake Up a Sleepy Guarantee

Tell me what’s wrong with this statement…
“If you’re not completely satisfied within 30 days we’ll give you a full refund.” 
Your first response might be, “Well, nothing’s wrong with it. I’ve heard it a lot. It sounds like a standard industry guarantee.”
And that’s exactly what’s wrong with it. If your guarantee is the same as 99.99% of the guarantees your customers have heard in the past, it’s worthless. 
It does nothing to set you apart. It does nothing to pull in sales. It does nothing, Period. 
It’s just a bunch of words that your customers ignore like so much hot air. 
So, how do you craft a real, killer, sales-gathering guarantee? 
Well, one way, is with a Performance Promise Guarantee. 
A Performance Promise Guarantee looks like this…
If you ______ and do NOT ______ by _______ then I’ll refund every penny. 
Now, let’s fill it in with some examples. 
If you take my fitness class and do NOT lose 5 inches off your waist in 30 days, then I’ll refund every penny. 
If you follow my instructions and do NOT increase your sales by at least 30% in 90 days, then I’ll refund every penny. 
Now, those are powerful guarantees, right? 
And you can make them even stronger, by making the “refund every penny” part even stronger. 
“…I’ll give you DOUBLE your money back”
“…I’ll refund every penny and buy you a steak dinner”
Etc. Remember this one…
“Hot fresh pizza delivered right to your door in 30 minutes or less or it’s free.”
That’s a Performance Promise. And it made Domino’s Pizza the number one pizza chain in America. 
That’s how powerful a Performance Promise Guarantee can be. 
How powerful is your guarantee?
How powerful is the guarantee for the products you’re promoting? 
MTTB’s guarantee is pretty darned powerful…
If you follow the 21 steps and do not earn a commission in 30 days, they’ll give you $500
And, since the program only costs $49…that means their performance promise is guaranteeing TEN TIMES YOUR MONEY BACK. 
It might be the most powerful performance promise I’ve ever seen. 
And if you’d like the power of that kind of confidence behind your online business…give MTTB a try.

Money Motivation Will Only Get You So Far

Remember Cuba Gooding, Jr.’s character, the flamboyant football star, “Rod”, dancing around in the shower while talking to his desperate agent, Jerry Maguire? 
Rod keeps prodding Jerry to scream “Show me the money!” over and over and over. Louder each time. And sometimes that’s what info marketing can feel like. It’s all about the money. 
Online info marketing has a bad reputation thanks to a small group of bad apples. That reputation is that it’s all “show me the cash”. All about greed. Nothing matters but the size of your commissions and the number in your bank account. 
And, don’t get me wrong, money motivation can be a very positive thing. Some part of your personality needs to be dancing around with Rod and screaming “show me the money”.
But not ALL of your personality. 
Because that attitude will only take you so far in the info marketing world…especially if you don’t experience success right away. 
If all you have to motivate you is your greed gland…you’ll burn out quickly if the results don’t show up right away. 
You need higher motivation. Ask yourself, “What do you want the money FOR?” 
Spend more time with your family?
Quit your 9-5 cubicle job?Travel the world?
Give to your favorite charity?
Change the world?
Enjoy your favorite hobbies more? 
Spend time writing those things down. 

Then visualize them as vividly as you can. Every day. Even a MTTB, the most powerful, systematic and high-paying online business I know of, can only take you so far if all you care about is money. Set your goals higher, work the steps, and the money will appear.
