Starting or Building a Business? Why You Should Use Teleseminars as Part of Your Marketing Strategy

noreply@blogger.com (Nickolove Lovemore) — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 14:58:00 +0000

The news is full of reports about companies downsizing and laying off staff. These persistent reports may cause you to think that now, during an economic downturn, is just about the worse time to get into business.

If you think so you're right. Remember the words of Henry Ford:

"If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right."
Henry Ford

And you're also wrong. There will be many entrepreneurs and business owners who will become even wealthier during this recession. Some will be in a position to take advantage of low-cost acquisitions and others just because they decided to structure their business differently.

If you're already in business and are worried about the future then it is important to remain calm and focused. It's also important to continue to strive to grow your business. If you're not striving to grow your business then your business then your business will certainly decline and perhaps fail altogether.

This is a time when many businesses look to reduce their marketing budget. It may be necessary to do this but you should still seek creative ways to maximise your exposure. One of the easiest, most economical ways to promote and market the products and services of your business is through teleseminars. Best of all, no matter what business you're involved in you can use teleseminars as part of your marketing and promotion strategy.

Here are just five ideas to get you started.

1. Book Promotions

Writing a book is actually a great way to promote yourself and your business. There are several different publishing routes you can go down but whether or not your book is a success will depend upon the number of your sales you achieve. You can certainly boost the number of sales of your book by hosting a series of teleseminars as part of your marketing strategy.

Teleseminars of this nature are designed to "explain" your book and so can be used as the foundation of a course. Also, when individuals consume your book in this manner they have a greater understanding of its content and get to know you, the author, more intimately. So when you publish other books and create other products you'll have a bigger audience ready to purchase.

2. Preview Promotions

Interestingly, teleseminars can be used to promote a teleseminar course or program whether the course/program is taught by one person or several experts. Such teleseminars serve as an introduction to the material and the individuals presenting the material.

Teleseminars are also very effective in promoting offline events. Again they provide a virtual platform that allows individuals to get to know the speakers and learn enough about what they will be presenting that it whets their appetite for the main event. They also help to build excitement about a particular event.

3. Question and Answer (Q and A) Calls

It is inevitable that if you deliver a course your participants will have questions. Allocating separate teleseminars to deal with questions can be really helpful to your students. It boosts their understanding of the material and improves retention rates. Even if only a small percentage of individuals ask questions, you can be sure that many more will actually benefit.

Q and A calls can also be used to help your customers gain a better understanding of a product they have purchased and or to address regularly asked questions about their purchase.

The questions which arise as part of these teleseminars can also extremely useful in helping you to improve your course or other product.

4. Prospecting Calls

A key component of a teleseminar is of course your message. So if you have a content-rich message to share you can invite prospective clients to listen to a weekly teleseminar so that they can get to know you better and evaluate whether or you'd be a good fit.

These calls can also be archived to create a rich body of material which you can re-purpose in a multitude of ways to further promote your business.

5. Kick-Start Training

When a client purchases a course they are usually very excited about the prospect of learning and the new material they will be exposed to. Then they see all the new material and overwhelm sets in. They can be at a loss as to where to start and the best way to tackle all the material that is presented.

A teleseminar which can be recorded and made available in the members' area of the particular course or program or even burnt onto a CD and posted along with the course materials can be very helpful. Naturally, this type of kick-start training can also be done as a live event.

Kick-start training can make the difference between someone deciding that your course or program was not for them after all and asking for a refund or lasting the course.

Learn How to Double Your Income Doing Work You Love

noreply@blogger.com (Nickolove Lovemore) — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 19:11:00 +0000

If you were given a cent and the ability to double the value of your money everyday for thirty consecutive days then at the end of one month you would have a whopping $5,368,709.12 (five million, three hundred and sixty-eight thousand, seven hundred and nine dollars and twelve cents.

Now doubling your money for 30 consecutive days may seem impractical but what if you could simply double your income and what if you could do so doing what you love instead of grinding out a living? Does this prospect sound appealing?

Many of the people I meet outside of my industry do not do the work they love. They are doing work because it pays the bills. The thing is that you can make money doing work you love and those who have mastered this become very wealthy and often reach a point in their lives where they can take early retirement but they love their work so much that they don't want to give it up.

I believe that each and every one of us has a unique purpose in life. We all have special talents - things that we're good at. When we are doing these things time passes by unnoticed. We feel totally engrossed and alive. Conversely, when we are struggling to do things we do not enjoy time drags by. We feel frustrated, irritable and stressed.

Hence, it's vitally important to discover what your purpose in life is and it is no surprise that your purpose in life is closely aligned to the things you feel passionate about.

Now another human characteristic is that we all have a desire to be and feel successful. Success means different things to different individuals and Robert Allen says that as soon as you start living your life on purpose you become successful.

"Once you're on your purpose path you're instantly successful. You don’t have to achieve your goal to be successful. You just need to discover your path. When you're standing on your path and you take one step forward towards your goal you're instantly successful because you're on your path.
Robert Allen

Think about it. You can achieve "success" in a particular area but if it is not something you care very much about the success feels rather hollow.

Conversely, when you achieve even a small measure of success doing something that you love, the feeling of success is magnified.

So the question is how can you do work that you love and make good money doing it at the same time?

Part of problem with this is some people love what they do so much that they think it would be wrong to be paid and paid well for what they do. There are many arguments against this point of view and I'm going to state just one case.

If what you're doing creates value for another individual, would it not be better if you could create value for even more people and or increase the value that you're able to provide those that you serve? Of course it would. And you can do this if you are properly recompensed for the value you provide.

Now you know when you set goals they should be SMART, i.e.

~Specific
~Measurable
~Achievable
~Realistic
~Time-framed

So what if you could double your income over the next 12 months? How would the quality of your life improve? How would your lifestyle change?

This goal certainly is specific, measurable and time-framed but if you're questioning about how realistic achievable it is then I invite you to check out:

What's the Music Playing in Your Sub-Conscious Mind?

noreply@blogger.com (Nickolove Lovemore) — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 22:04:00 +0000

At some point in time you've probably noticed that there's a song playing in your head. It might have been playing in the background for quite some time before your conscious mind became aware of it. It's as though your sub-conscious mind is amusing itself.

Initially, you may not even recognise the tune and, until you bring your conscious mind to focus on it, you may not distinguish the words either.

This has happened to me several times in recent weeks. And while I may have recognised the tune I've had to consciously focus on the words to decipher them. The process can be likened to adjusting a lens to bring an image into focus.

When I have identified the words I have been pleasantly surprised. The words of the song usually accurately reflected an emotion I was experiencing or an affirmation that I wanted to reinforce.

I say "surprised" because what I'm describing here is different from hearing a tune so many times that can't help but sub-consciously play it inside your head. Instead, it's as if my sub-conscious mind is going through my personal database of music to find something that aptly reflects my mood and my emotions. It's behaving like a jukebox that knows me inside out and knows the song to play at the right time.

It has made me even more aware of the importance of giving your mind a nutritious diet. You need to 'feed' your mind positive thoughts which can come from spoken or written affirmations and other sources such as music. And you need to do this on a daily basis of you want to program your sub-conscious mind for success.

The music playing in my head forms part of my self-talk and everyone has some form of audio background track playing in their mind which can be musical or their regular dialogue with self. The trouble is many people do not pay close enough conscious attention to their self-talk particularly when it is negative.

Consequently, they allow a negative soundtrack to play in their minds over and over again continually undermining everything positive they attempt to do. The outcome of this can be seen in the results they are producing with respect to their health, finances, career, relationships, etc.

And when things aren't turning out the way they would like it to be they compound matters by asking themselves:

"What's wrong with me?"

The mind obligingly then searches for answers that particular question and to support the view that something is wrong with that person. The negative self-talk is perpetuated.

If you positively change your self-talk and that background track in your mind you can literally transform your life.

Often when I say this to individuals their immediate response is "But it's hard…" which is simply more evidence of the negative programming of their mind.

It certainly is challenging but isn't it worth it for the rewards you'll reap.

Denis Waitley said:

"Relentless, repetitive self-talk is what changes our self-image."

It's up to you whether your "relentless, repetitive self-talk" improves your self-image and consequently the results you achieve in life or tears you down.

One of my mentors has his own special way of dealing with negative self-talk. Click on the AudioPostcard link below to hear how he eliminated his negative self-talk:

The Importance of Your Mindset to Achieving Success

Barack Obama: Inspiration, Hope and Self-Reliance

noreply@blogger.com (Nickolove Lovemore) — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 20:36:00 +0000

Barack Obama's election as the 44th President of the United States of America has inspired people of all ages and of all races across the world. More young people than ever before voted for Obama and in his acceptance speech Obama referred to a centenarian Ann Nixon Cooper - 106 years old in fact - who exercised her right to vote in this election.

The election of Barack Obama has given people hope again that things can really be different, but not just different - better. This man has encouraged individuals to have a "can do" attitude. He has encouraged people to embrace change.

However, I read a comment recently that lingered with me. The person questioned that so many people should rely on this one man. And here's the thing. When you read comments from Obama's supporters you know they have not been lulled into a false sense of security.

They are fully aware that the new President will have an enormous task ahead of him. The recession is cutting deep, so too are the wars. The nation is ready for healing and new leadership.

Nonetheless, Obama will certainly make what will be perceived to be mistakes and he will make decisions that will be unpopular. It's just the nature of the beast. There is no way he will please everyone all the time. The man himself is quick to point out the potential pitfalls along the way:

"There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as president. And we know the government can’t solve every problem."

But he is quick to reassure that this time the people will have a voice that will go beyond election day.

"I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And, above all, I will ask you to join in the work of remaking this nation, the only way it's been done in America for 221 years - block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand."

And this is the key.

Millions of people voted for Obama and millions more, without a legal right to vote in the US, voted in spirit partly because they were inspired by his message of positive change. What is needed now is to keep fanning the flames of hope. Individuals need to apply the inspiration they have received from Obama's miraculous journey to a little-know Senator to President-elect of the US to their own lives. People need to rekindle dreams that were abandoned and conceive of new and bigger dreams.

It's not about relying on one man. It's about self-reliance and working together in a co-operative spirit.

For many, the recession is cutting deep, so too are the wars that majority of people have been opposed to. It's time for healing. It's time for change.

Yet, as Obama said:

"It can't happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice."

To create the positive change that so many crave individuals each have to pull their own weight. People can draw inspiration and hope from this new leader but there is no question that anyone should be relying solely on one man to achieve this change. Individuals have to take responsibility for their role in this movement and optimise their own lives.

But there's certainly a new optimism in the air, a new sense of possibility. A definite "can do" attitude. And this is a spirit people the world over can benefit from.

Achieve Greater Productivity and Success by Eliminating Friction in Your Life, Part 2

noreply@blogger.com (Nickolove Lovemore) — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 21:37:00 +0000

In Part 2 of this series of articles looking at ways to increase your productivity the topic is:

Anticipate And Take Care Of Any Issues That Have The Potential To Become Major Problems

When I left home the other day there was a man marking the pavement with paint. The Water Authority is currently replacing the old Victorian waterworks system in London. As you can imagine, it's creating enormous congestion but it has to be done. The old system is leaky and thus inefficient and can no longer cope with the increased demands. So now the street where I live will be affected.

This means that at the very least I can expect delays to my journeys and disruptions to my water supply. But the good thing is that I know that this will be happening and I can make allowances. Often in life, we have warnings that certain events will be happening or are likely to happen but we disregard the signs and then lament afterwards.

Issues that might have just have developed into minor irritations become enormous headaches. There were signs that even the current global economic crisis was imminent long before it escalated to its current dire proportions. When things appear to be going well on the surface it can be all too easy to cast a blind eye and just hope that tomorrow will take care of itself.

There will always be challenges in our lives. This is partly what makes life so fascinating. We'd be bored and have to deal with a different type of stress if we didn't have challenges to deal with. However, the trick is to deal with challenges before they reach epic proportions.

So examine every facet of your life - your career, your relationships, your family life, your health, your finances, etc. and consider where you'll be in a month, six months, a year and even five years from now if you continue to act as you're currently acting. Now some things will come to a head long before 5 years have elapsed but you get the point.

We often allow complacency to set in. We may frequently ignore our nutrition and not exercise because it's too much hassle or we may not consider it to be a fun thing to do. However, it's less fun when you get sick. If you allow your body to get out of shape it's much harder to become healthy again. The truth is that it is much easier in the short and long term to maintain our health than it is to attain it once we lose our health.

It is interesting to note that a high percentage of all bankruptcies are a consequence of medical problems.

So an honest evaluation of your current habits will allow you to anticipate potential future trouble spots. Armed with this information, you can make prudent decisions as to how you need to change your current habits so as to avoid the pitfalls you have identified.

Remember:

"A stitch in time saves nine."

Achieve Greater Productivity and Success by Eliminating Friction in Your Life

noreply@blogger.com (Nickolove Lovemore) — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 15:52:00 +0000

If you're anything like me you no doubt lead a life where you are juggling many balls. You may be an expert juggler but the chances are that at some point you drop a ball or two and the balls you drop are often related to your goals and dreams.

In other words, a day passes when you haven't made significant progress on your goals and then that day stretches into a week and then before your know months have passed. This can be very frustrating and no doubt you will be able to find 'good' reasons as to why you are not working on your goals but the truth is they are just excuses.

Your reason why you want to accomplish a particular goal just isn't strong enough. Or, maybe you fear the success that will come your way once you achieve your goal and so you self-sabotage your efforts. You start focusing on obstacles instead of seeing the finish line and the more you focus on the obstacles the larger they loom or the more they multiply.

The obstacles may not even be directly related to your goal. They may simply be other problems to resolve but they steal your time.

So, in order to have the time to devote to achieving your goal it's important to:

~ Identify and eliminate any areas of friction in your life,

~ Anticipate and take care of any issues that have the potential to become major problems,

~ Create a strong personal foundation so that you are able to cope with extreme situations,

~ Create strong personal boundaries so that no matter what is going on in your life you can still remain focused on your goal.

So, over the next few posts I'll be taking a brief look at how you can accomplish this.

Identify and Eliminate Friction

Areas of friction may stem from:

~ Emotional issues

~ Your environment

~ Events and situations

Emotional Issues

For instance, if you have a row with a loved one this can have the effect where you may throw yourself at your work to distract yourself from feeling hurt and pain. This may be a necessary short-term measure to allow you time to stabilise your emotions sufficiently so that you can deal with the situation in a more rational and objective manner. However, it's not a healthy long-term strategy. You need to find a positive way of simply releasing those negative emotions. This may also have the positive result of helping you to become more focused on your goals but you'll be able to maintain that focus in a more holistic way.

Your Environment

Outer chaos can reflect inner chaos and vice versa. So if your working environment is disorganised and chaotic start addressing this. Improve your filing systems. There's a saying:

"There's a place for everything and everything in its place."

When you put this into practice you'll find that you'll save a lot of time and energy looking for things.

Aim to handle incoming mail once. In other words, open and where possible take action on it immediately. In some cases you may just need to file it away but you want to avoid multiple touches when it comes to mail handling.

As you work on organising your outer environment take time to focus on your inner environment as well. Chances are that you are feeling conflicted about something or even some things. You may have unresolved issues that are clogging your mind and your thoughts. The more you are able to clear yourself internally the better organised your external environment will become as well.

Events and Situations

Yesterday, the Bank of England governor, Mervyn King, announced that announced that the UK was heading towards its first recession for 16 years. And the media today was full of more doom and gloom.

Now, many people are wallowing in all of this negativity and allowing their judgement and actions to be clouded by all this bad news. Some individuals have decided to put off pursuing their goal of starting their own business because it's such a tough economy just now.

But imagine, if you can successfully launch and run a business now think of how successful you'll be once the economy expands again.
And regarding starting and running your own business there is lots of excellent advice available.

For instance, you could be mentored by a self-made billionaire for a fee so low you won't believe your eyes. Click the link below for more details:

Billionaire Business School

However, this is only one example of how you can let events and situations stand in the way of you achieving your goals. When you set yourself a tough goal expect challenges, and obstacles. No one is going to hand it to you on a platter.

I can't remember where I heard this, so apologies for not giving credit where credit is due but:

"Success is not something you deserve; it's something you claim."

You've got to reach out and grab it. You can have a winning lottery ticket in your hand but if you don't cash it in it's worthless.

Next time I'll take a look at the role of anticipation in achieving greater productivity and success.

Time Management: Are You Making these 3 Major Time Management Mistakes?

noreply@blogger.com (Nickolove Lovemore) — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 15:41:00 +0000

Time management is becoming an ever increasing concern for business owners and entrepreneurs today. Even employees are increasing feeling the strain because as a result of down-sizing and lay-offs people are expected to achieve more in less time.

However, because of poor time management skills, business owners, entrepreneurs and employees are falling far short of what they could and should be accomplishing. This reduced productivity leads to increased stress and massive loss in profits.

Excellent time management can result in the success of a business. Poor time management can not only result in poor performance, it can result in the overall failure of a business.

Thomas Edison said:

"Time is really the only capital that any human being has, and the only thing he can't afford to lose."

He was right.

The 3 major mistakes in time management that many people fall victim to are as follows:

1. Multi-Tasking

Many people are proud multi-taskers but studies have proven that multi-tasking is inefficient.

When you split your focus across many projects nothing benefits from your full undivided attention. Consequently:

~ You make more mistakes.

~ It takes you longer to complete a particular task.

~ It takes you longer to see the fruits of your labour.

It is more effective to prioritise your projects and set aside a dedicated block of time to work solely on that project. Naturally, there are some projects which you won't be able to complete in one sitting. Practice using flowcharts to break down your project and divide each project into smaller discrete blocks of tasks that can be completed in a few dedicated hours.

Focusing all of your mental resources on a particular task may be challenging at first but with practice it will become easier. When you develop your laser focus you will develop flow. And, when you're working in flow you will b able to complete tasks in record time and vastly increase your productivity.

2. Distractions and Interruptions

These come in all guises. To name just a few culprits there's the

~ Telephone
~ Fax
~ Email
~ Newspapers
~ Television
~ Post
~ Social Media sites, e.g. Twitter, Facebook

Yet, generally these are things we can control. We can switch off the telephone. We can hire someone to deal with phone calls and open the post. We can set aside discrete periods of the day, ideally when our energy levels are naturally low, to check email.

We can allocate a set amount of time to participate on Social Media Sites. We can also automate or outsource certain aspects of this. Sites such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn can be valuable for networking, lead generation, promotion, etc. but only if we have a Social Media strategy. You also need to limit the amount of time you speed on these sites or else you can simply end up wasting your time.

Whenever, we are interrupted it can take up to 20 minutes for our full attention to be restored. Often, during this time we may be interrupted yet again which only compounds the negative effect interruptions have on our productivity.

Hence to become more productive it is essential that you learn how to eliminate distractions and interruptions in your working life. You also need to respect other people's time and stop unnecessarily interrupting and distracting others.

3. Fragmented Working Pattern

This is when you start a project for a few minutes and the turn to something else, then go back to the originally project and so on. This is another way to get nowhere fast.

You achieve MAXIMUM effectiveness and productivity when you focus on one thing. This is one reason why meditation is such a valuable tool in helping individuals improve their personal effectiveness. Also, when you think about it, applying your full attention to a particular task is in itself a form of meditation.

The other downside to working in a fragmented, haphazard fashion is that you end up expending far more energy. The result is that at the end of your working day you'll not only wind up achieving less than you had hoped for but you will feel more fatigued and more stressed.

The key is clearly to prioritise the tasks that you need to achieve. Work on the tasks that will result in creating the greatest value first. An important consideration is that what constitutes value is not what you consider to be of value. It is what your clients and customers consider to be of value. In other words, if a particular task results directly or indirectly in generating income for your business and company then this is a task worthy of the investment of your time.

Lessons in Goal Achievement from a Ghost

noreply@blogger.com (Nickolove Lovemore) — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 09:51:00 +0000

The Subway Ghost

I saw the movie Ghost recently starring Patrick Swayze as Sam Wheat, Demi Moore as Molly Jensen and Whoppi Goldberg as Oda Mae Brown. After all these years it's still a charming, sad yet funny movie.

There's a saying that when you read a book the second time that you don't see something in the book that wasn't there before; you see something in yourself that wasn't there before. The same can be said about watching a movie the second time around.

Whoopi Goldberg is a scream in the movie but the scene that made me smile ironically was one of the scenes involving the subway ghost. So here are five lessons on goal achievement that you can learn from the movie Ghost.

1. Find a Mentor

In order to increase his effectiveness as a ghost Sam realises needs to be able to move physical objects if he is to be able to save the life of his partner. He saw a ghost on the subway who was able to do so with consummate ease.

So he seeks out the subway ghost (played by Vincent Schiavelli) to teach him how to do this even although he didn't receive a warm welcome from the rather territorial ghost the last time they had an encounter. When you set your goals seek mentoring from someone who has already accomplished what you are striving to accomplish.

2. Be Persistent

Sam eventually finds the subway ghost who becomes very agitated upon seeing him and scares the living daylights out of the passengers on the train by knocking away their newspapers and other belongings while shouting at Sam to get off his train. However, Sam holds his ground.

This impromptu demonstration of the ghost's powers strengthens Sam's resolve. This ghost knows how to do what he can't. He needs this ghost to teach him.

Sam's persistence pays off and the ghost agrees to teach him. If you are persistent you will find doors where before there were only walls.

3. Tap into The Power of Your Mind

Now this is the bit that made me smile. Sam tries in vain to move a bottle cap with his finger and the ghost berates him reminding him that he's dead and informing him that his body is no more than an illusion. Then subway ghost tells him:

"Use your mind. You've gotta focus."

There is so much hidden meaning in this one short scene that I'm sure is lost on the majority of its millions of viewers. However, I would hazard a guess that the writer Bruce Joel Rubin, who is said to have an interest in spirituality, was well aware of the deeper significance of this scene.

The advice that the subway ghost was giving Sam is the same advice that anyone can adopt to transform their life.

The ghost Sam no longer had a body as we know it. And we are not our bodies. Just like you're not the car you drive. Your body is your physical vehicle in this plane of existence.

We are spiritual beings but because of a tendency to focus on our physicality rather than what we want to achieve we limit ourselves.

To achieve change in your external world you have to direct your mind on our desired outcome. You have to focus, unwaveringly, on your desired outcome.

Once Sam was able to focus he was able to make that bottle cap skid along the platform. When you are able to develop your focus you will see dramatic changes in your external world.

4. Think Big but Start Small

The subway ghost made Sam practice with a tiny bottle cap. He knew the importance of starting small.

However, you have to keep the big picture of what you want to accomplish in your sights. Then you can steadily grow towards your goal. No matter how big your goal is, to accomplish it, you have to take the first small step.

Remember:

1. The Sistine Chapel was painted one stroke at a time.
2. The Great Pyramid of Giza was constructed one block at a time.
3. The Great Wall of China was built one brick at a time.

And many more wonderful things were all created bit by bit. And everything in existence was once just a thought. So think big but don't allow yourself to be impeded by your grand vision. Simply take that first small step and follow that with the next logical step.

5. Define Your Purpose

Sam may have died in the physical sense but his love for Molly lived on and this was the fuel that drove him towards his goal to protect her. Similarly, you have to identify your purpose in life. You have to know your reason why or else you will quit at the first hurdle.

Without purpose your thoughts will be just idle fantasy.

"Until though is linked with purpose there is no intelligent accomplishment."
James Allen

The subway ghost may have been a little crazy but he still knew a thing or two about effecting change and ultimately about achieving goals.

Achieving Life Success with the Power of Forgiveness

Achieving Life Success with the Power of Forgiveness

Yesterday I listened to a presentation by life coach and motivational speaker Pete Cohen. During his talk he told the story of a woman, whom I'll called Martha, which highlighted the power of forgiveness in achieving life success.

When Martha attended her first confession she discovered that she had no 'wrong-doing' to confess. So she decided to make something up. On the next occasion she confessed to having lied the previous time and then started a vicious pattern.

You see, Martha was spending a lot of time thinking about what to confess. In other words, she was focusing much of her energy on what was perceived to be negative in her life rather than on what was positive. On a weekly basis she would then go to confession to ask for forgiveness.

Now, there are a lot of individuals who are just like Martha. They may not attend a formal confession on a regular basis but they too focus on the things in their life which they consider to be negative. They spend a disproportionate amount of their time focusing on their mistakes.

They needlessly beat themselves up about their failures. They may find ways to consciously or unconsciously punish themselves but it doesn't stop them from doing the things they perceive to be wrong. So they persist in their wrong-doing. They persist in punishing themselves and they feel absolutely wretched about their lives.

The thing is that it doesn't matter if someone else forgives you or not for something you have done. The important thing is to forgive yourself. Unless you practice self-forgiveness you cannot experience self-healing and self-love.

I believe that while it is important to evaluate our mistakes and learn from them, it is far more empowering to focus on your successes. Focusing on your failures is paralysing. Focusing on your successes is liberating.

For instance, you think about how a project unfolded in the past that didn't achieve your desired results. You think that if you attempt a similar project that the end result will be the same. So you don't even attempt to do the new project. Or, if you do pluck up the courage to start the project you'll find a way to self-sabotage your success.

I'm not suggesting that you become blasé about how you conduct your life. However, here's the thing. If you find yourself in a position where you feel unable to forgive yourself you are not taking full responsibility for your life. When you hold resentment against yourself it prevents you from fully engaging with life. It stops you from moving on.

"To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you."
Lewis B. Smedes

It is through the power of forgiveness that you heal, feel more whole and positive energy can flow freely to and through you. You can then show up more fully in the world and you are then in a better position to share the gifts that you have been bestowed with.

So unleash the power of forgiveness in your life today if you truly wish to achieve life success.

Key to Achieving Massive Success: Master these 5Ms

noreply@blogger.com (Nickolove Lovemore) — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 10:46:00 +0000

Business Strategist Stephen Pierce is one of my favourite speakers. You always know you're going to hear great content and he has such a powerful stage presence. At BigSeminar 12 Stephen shared 5 key leverage points that are critical to your success.

This is my take on the 5Ms you must master to achieve massive success in your business.

1. Your Mission

Without a mission in life you're like a ship without a rudder - directionless. Without direction you have no focus and with no focus your attention will be scattered. You cannot accomplish anything of great magnitude in this state so it's important to identify your mission or your purpose in life. Only then will you be positioned to achieve maximum effectiveness in what you do.

As W Clement Stone said:

"When you discover your mission, you will feel its demand. It will fill you with enthusiasm and a burning desire to get to work on it."

2. Your Mind

There's a saying:

"Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me."

That's a lie.

Words can be even more destructive than physical weapons. The words you say to yourself, the words you listen to and the words you read on a daily basis, consciously or unconsciously, have a powerful effect on your mind and how you ultimately behave. Words that are spoken, listened to or read to contribute to the programming of your mind.

To test whether or not your mind is programmed for success you just have to look at your results. If your results are not what you desire then you know that you have more work to do - internally. When you do the work inside to program your mind for maximum success then your external results will reflect just how successfully you have gained control over your mind.

3. Your Market

Some individuals try to be all things to all people. However, when you are able to clearly define your target market you are able to be more focused and effective in marketing and promoting your message. This makes you and or your business more attractive to prospective clients and it also makes it easier for your existing clients to refer you to others.

Having a well-defined market will make it easier for you to provide specialised products and or services for your clients that other businesses may have overlooked. This will also help you to stand out in what are often rather 'noisy' and crowded market places.

4. Your Mentors

Every successful person has a mentor or in many cases several mentors. When you set a goal it will be highly likely that someone else has already achieved this goal or has achieved something very similar. They can envisage your entire project in a step-by-step manner while for you this picture may as yet be incomplete.

They can show you the pitfalls to avoid and shortcuts to take so that you can achieve your goal faster and with less effort. Life is short. Some lessons may be best learnt by experiencing them but often needlessly repeating mistakes that a mentor could have shown you how to overcome is simply too costly.

5. Your Momentum

Even huge projects and endeavours have small beginnings. Everything starts with a thought, an idea. And then by applying the right resources at the right time in the right place we can get our project going. Once our project is up and running in the right direction it can start to take a life of its own. It starts to gather momentum.

Look at what Nelson Mandela has achieved in his lifetime. At a London event to celebrate his 90th birthday earlier this year - the 46664 Concert - he publicly announced it was time for others to continue the work of his 46664 initiative.

"...We say tonight, after nearly 90 years of life that's it time for new hands to lift the burdens. It is in your hands now. I thank you."

The truth is, this project now has so much momentum that he couldn't stop it even if Mandela wanted to. That's the kind of momentum we want to build in our lives and our businesses.

The going will be tough at first but, done correctly, the energy required to sustain your success will be less than that needed to create in the first instance.

How Even Childhood Games Can Have A Dramatic Effect on Your Money Blueprint And Self-Image

noreply@blogger.com (Nickolove Lovemore) — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 10:30:00 +0000

Childhood games, nursery rhymes, cartoons and other seeming innocuous things and events can have a significant impact on our money blueprint and self-image.

Our money blueprint and self-image are created by our genetics, our environment and our beliefs. The games that we play can have a profound effect on our beliefs especially because we exert a great deal of emotion when we play games.

I was at a seminar recently and something that one of the speakers said gave me a new insight into the game of musical chairs. This is a game you're probably familiar with and will probably have played at some point during your childhood.

However, if you are unfamiliar with this game then basically it is a game set to music where there are fewer chairs than individuals vying for the chairs. Music is played and you move around the chairs in a random manner until the music stops at which point you make a bee-line for the chairs in attempt to secure one of the seats.

If you're unsuccessful you're eliminated. The game continues until there is just one chair left and two players. The end result is that one and only one person wins.

Surely, this is a pretty harmless game?

The thing is this particular game can contribute to the belief that there is a limited supply of resources instead of the belief that there is an abundance of resources.

"From abundance he took abundance and still abundance remained."
The Upanishads

You may be thinking,

"But it's just a game!"

The problem is that your sub-conscious mind doesn't differentiate between what's real and what's fantasy and unless other elements of your belief system strongly support the concept of abundance as opposed to scarcity can have a dramatic and negative effect on your ability to create the results you desire in life and in particular to create wealth.

The scarcity mentality can affect how you operate in business. While it is necessary to be aware of your competitors, you don't necessarily have to compete with them in order to carve out your share of the market. It could prove to be far more profitable to collaborate with your competitors.

In this way together you'd command an even greater market share and, by pooling together your resources and expertise, you could take your respective companies to new heights. It may not be practical in every instance but there are many case studies where businesses have done just this creating a win-win situation for both companies. It just requires a little creativity.

I have clients who are often frustrated by the way in which their belief system is sabotaging their efforts to achieve the level of success they desire. However, when you take into account the myriad of ways in which your beliefs are formed and the length of time that some negative beliefs have been reinforced then it's futile getting upset about the situation.

Be patient. There are numerous methods by which you can get clear of these negative beliefs and proven systems such as Quantum Mind Power created by Morry Zelcovitch who has also been involved with Mind Movies for re-programming your mind. When you put this into action along with your daily personal success habits you will overcome the effects of any insidious negative programming you may have been subjected to.

Rich Schrefren Launches His Much-Anticipated Guided Profit System Coaching Program for Online Entrepreneurs and Business Owners

noreply@blogger.com (Nickolove Lovemore) — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 10:08:00 +0000

Rich Schefren will be launching his Guided Profit System coaching program later today.

Many thousands of online entrepreneurs and business owners have been downloading his latest report: "Uncertainty Syndrome: The Entrepreneurial Emergency". The sub-title of this report explains why it has reverberated so loudly throughout the Internet community:

"Why entrepreneurs in a frantic search for quick profits and fast results are confusing stress with success, adrenaline with purpose, effort with effectiveness, potential with profits."

Over the years Rich's other reports have also resonated with online entrepreneurs and business owners but I haven't seen a response quite like this. This report doesn't examine people's potential. You've probably heard hundreds of times that you have infinite potential and you probably accept this to be true.

However, it's one thing to possess infinite potential and it's another to actually realise your potential and the majority of people are not realising their potential. So the question is what is preventing people from realising their potential?

The answer is your constraints and this is the subject of this report for as Jay Abraham said in an interview with Rich yesterday:

"When you realize that in the business world, you have so many opportunities to create and achieve enormous prosperity, impact in the market. Our free enterprise system, you’ve got the opportunity to earn so much money and achieve so much success in terms of real success, monetary, competitive, however, you’re never going to do it until you eliminate the constraints, the impediments holding you down."

Jay Abraham is himself a marketing guru who has taken 10,000 different businesses in over 400 different industries and helped them to produce more than $6 Billion dollars in addition sales. So his support for Rich, his latest report and his new coaching program is significant.

"It ["The Uncertainty
Syndrome: The Entrepreneurial Emergency"] really zeros right in on the biggest, most little understood, little known and significant cause of mediocre, failure, frustration, stress and poor performance in online businesses and start-ups all over the world."

So when entrepreneurs read the promise of this report "The ONE thing that will finally make your earnings exceed your effort" they see hope and salvation rather than hype.

What further supports that Rich can deliver on his promise is that most of the top Internet Marketers have all been coached by Rich Schefren. Individuals such as Mike Filsaime, Tellman Knudson, Russell Brunson, Joel Comm, Michael Cheney have all sought out Rich as their personal coach and their standing in the Internet Marketing community reflects the shrewdness of their investment.

With his Guided Profit System Rich is offering to tear your business apart and guide you towards re-building it again so that you end up with a profitable business that supports the lifestyle you desire. This is in stark contrast to the business that most people have at present - one that literally sucking the lifeblood out of you while yielding comparatively little in return.

There's no doubt that Rich's GPS coaching program will be intense and will require commitment and dedication. Rich's 24 hour live webcast that stretched into 26 hours and was watch by 27 thousand viewers shows the level of commitment that Rich has to helping individuals succeed.

Despite this, after Rich's last intensive coaching program he swore he would never again offer a coaching program like that. When you give of yourself so completely it really takes it out of you. However, what he was seeing in the marketplace went against the core of his being.

He saw that more and more people were struggling with the same issues...the same constraints...and the same roadblocks that kept them from achieving the success they so rightly deserved.

People were screaming for solutions, yet there were none to be found.

Meanwhile, Rich had spent an entire year uncovering a breakthrough system for obliterating those barriers and skyrocketing business success.

Rich had the solution and he knew he had to share it and so he developed the Guided Profit System - an in-depth coaching program that blows away anything else on the market today.

It is an ultra-powerful, ultra-intense coaching program designed to help entrepreneurs and business owners to finally overcome those profit-blocking constraints and move your business to the next level.

What's more Rich is lowering the bar regarding the entry level for this program so that it reaches those that need it most. There are discounts and payment plans as well as lots of great bonuses to enhance the return on your investment.

People have been begging to join this coaching program before Rich even announced any details of this program. Therefore, this program will undoubtedly sell out and sell out fast.

There is no guarantee that Rich will EVER offer anything like this again. So if you're looking for the next level of business coaching then Rich's GPS could just be your solution.

Mind Movies: Their Double Click is Your Gain

noreply@blogger.com (Nickolove Lovemore) — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 11:15:00 +0000

Here's some trivia for you.

Here in the UK we have double-decker buses, double-breasted suits and double-glazing. The latter is particularly welcome as we officially enter the autumn season.

The baseball player Joe DiMaggio achieved a 56-game hitting streak (15 May - 16 July 1941). He was due to earn a sponsorship deal when he hitting streak reached 57.

And did you know that the number 57 has an aliquot sum of 23? Or stated in plain English the sum of its divisors is 23.

So what's it with all this double-talk and talk of numbers, in particular 57 and 23.

Well, it seems that some folk were so anxious to get their Mind Movie Kits last week that they ordered twice. And their double-click is your gain.

There were some 70,000 people trying to take advantage of the 50% discount and the over $3,000 in bonus gifts last week and you guessed it 57 people actually paid twice. They were so anxious that they order had not gone through - they ordered again!

So on Tuesday 23 September from 3pm EST the doors for Mind Movies will re-open for just 24 hours or until or remaining 57 units are sold.

After this Mind Movie Creation Kit will double in price and you will not be able to get the $3,000 plus worth in bonuses.

This product has an unheard of lifetime guarantee. In other words, if, any time, you are unhappy with your purchase you can return it for a full refund. However, thus far 70,000 people seem to be very happy and out of those 57 extra happy to have their overpayment refunded.

If you haven't already purchased your Mind Movie Creation Kit you'll have to be double-quick to off your marks on 23 September because those 57 kits will not last long.
