People are always interested in how to make more money. There are a number of ways to do this. Work harder. Work longer. Work smarter. Or maybe figure out ways to work less while being more productive.
I was on a webinar a month ago with Jack Humphrey and he showed me this really cool time saving tool. I was “blown away” that a simple tool like this existed. And I was irritated that I didn’t know about this months or years sooner.
So you’re now thinking – well, what is this tool?
It’s a simple web application to help you keep all the websites that you frequently visit – all together in one place. But this isn’t all of it. You can organize them in any way you please. Here is how you get there:
ONLY 2 CLICKS
Here is a video I made about how to use Only 2 Clicks. It is saving me a lot of time. And at least for now, time is $. I am looking forward to the day where time and money are not necessarily related!
What do you do now?
Sign up with Only 2 Clicks (it’s free) and start using it – and get involved with the different Tribes that I pointed out. If you are wanting to get a lot better at blogging and ultimately making a lot more money, start saving a collection of the best MLM blogs – in Only 2 Clicks – of course. This way you can visit them easily again.
This is my day 6 of the 90 day video challenge. It is getting more fun every day. Please consider what it could do to your blog and your business to start and complete 90 different videos. (unreal!)
And to start generating 0ver 50 leads a day, make sure and take a good look at what is helping me so much: Red Hot Sponsoring

Many network marketers are utilizing blogs to attract prospects to them. This is a fantastic idea and it takes a lot of time to do it right. So every little way to attract more attention or backlinks to your blog is something I look into.
A while back I learned about a few things that are really simple to do, on a regular basis. These things are also real simple NOT to do. Again it is a choice, day by day whether or not we will do what we know we should do.
This tip is best viewed on my video. But here it is in a nutshell: have a Tribe of blogs that you are committed to helping by commenting on the new posts on a regular basis. As soon as you make a new comment, and hit “enter” – go up to your SharAHolic green button and immediately bookmark this page to your favorite bookmark site.
What this does is it helps you AND the person you are helping by making a new comment. It helps YOU because the URL link is the one with your comment in it. Pretty neat huh? A “twofer” or “two for one”. If you remember to do this each time you make a new comment, we all will see an upsurge in the traffic to our blogs. Try it out, you’ll like it!
 Money is a very “touchy” subject with most people. They are very “hush-hush” about the money they earn or their mortgage payment. And it is considered in very poor taste to actually ask someone how much money they make. It is almost as if people are trying to look good, usually a lot better than they actually are doing.
Wealthy people, including millionaires (this isn’t “that” much money anymore!) have a very different way of looking at most things – and especially money. Wealthy people aren’t constantly thinking about money like people do that are struggling financially. Rich people also don’t worry about losing all their money, not because they can’t, but because they know they could earn it back in a hurry.
One thing I like to do is tell people I’m taking a survey. Then I say, “fill in the blank”. Rich people are__________. Wealthy people____________. The answers I get are 95% negative. Rich people “suck” – they are “rude”, “uncaring” “steal from the poor” “don’t pay any taxes”, “they cheat – how do you think they got their money?”
Let me ask you a personal question. If you really feel like this, how can you possibly want to be wealthy or rich? You would turn into something that you despise. But most people really want to be wealthy, and they have never stopped to realize that their “wanting” to be wealthy sits in direct conflict with their sub conscious that is always telling them “rich people are crooks.” Guess who wins? Yep – and the people stay poor and in their mediocrity all their life.
I have a number of great books that help me get my thinking straight. It doesn’t happen overnight, either. But when you start changing, you start noticing all around you, almost every where you go the hatred towards rich people. One of these books is by T. Harv Eker “Secrets of the Millionaire Mind” – Mastering the Inner Game of Wealth. It is a wonderful “how-to” book that is not just theory, but exercises to help you think different. Here’s a few quotes from this book.
“Rich people focus on opportunities. Poor people focus on obstacles.”
“Rich people choose to get paid on results. Poor people choose to get paid on time.”
“Rich people think “both.” Poor people think “either-or”. (Poor people are so concerned about the “competition” – there’s only so much to go around).
And here’s one of my favorite quotes from James Allen (As a Man Thinketh) – “They nourish the cause, while they curse the effect.” It shows the folly of mankind in so many things they do.
So what do you do? Get T. Harv Eker’s book. It comes with a free ticket to his next seminar. Start being aware of what is coming out of your mouth. Especially with the economy the way it is, be aware of people bragging about how little they paid for a box of corn flakes. Would rich people do this? Keep your ears and your eyes open and you will not believe the huge difference in the way wealthy people think.
I love Og Mandino. Every one of his books is a big winner, in my opinion. He has a way of grabbing my heart in the first few pages and I don’t want the book to finish.
The latest Og Mandino book I’m reading is “The Choice” and is the story of Og Mandino’s own life. Each of us is confronted every single day with many choices that will either help us in our life or send us on a slow downward spiral. The purpose of this article is to get you to focus on what you are doing each and every day, and make the right choices that will move your business forward, and at the same time enrich the lives of you and the people you love.
With an online business we obviously spend a lot of time online. The big problem with this is all the distractions that pull us in every direction – if we let them. Just because you are “busy” doesn’t mean at all that you are doing anything to move your business forward. I know this personally to be true.
Why? You can easily spend an hour or two thinking that you are doing important stuff, but in reality you’re just checking email over and over again, checking out a forum or two, checking your Skype messages and responding to email and Skype again …… and two hours pass and you think you got a lot of work done.
Personally, I think Skype is a huge time waster. It is a lot worse than email. With Skype your sitting there waiting for the other person(s) to type their return message. I encourage you to limit Skype and email to just “checking in” every 2 hours or so. I think every 4 hours would help make you even more productive.
So when I am at my computer to “work” here’s what “works” for me.
First of all I have a definite LIST of what I need to get done. This includes things like
“do a Camtasia video about prospecting”,
“do keyword research on list building”,
“write an article about Facebook” or
“go to my Tribe websites and comment on the new posts they have on their blogs”.
Second, I am very focused on what I am doing. I set a time frame for me getting the Camatasia video done – 30 minutes, including editing it and putting it up on You Tube. But while on You Tube, I can’t go looking around and checking my messages, because then I lose another 30 minutes. When I am done with the video, I take a short 5 minute break and then start on the next item on my list.
What is interesting for me, though, is I need to tie this whole thing DAILY into the bigger vision of what I am shooting for. In other words, when I read out loud my Napoleon Hill method of 6 steps for reaching my goal I think about what I need to accomplish that day. It may be small, but I know it is helping me reach the desired end.
Choice. It boils down to our daily choices. What will be your choice today about moving your business forward?
 I caught wind of this today – a 90 day video challenge. And the more I thought about it the more excited I became. Is is this easy to do, a video every day? Absolutely not. But is this also easy NOT to do, too? Yep! So I have a choice to make. Don’t do the challenge – or embrace the idea and “go for it!”
I decided to “go for it!” Here’s a video of me on my FIRST DAY!
As far as I know it is Mia Davies who started this challenge. She also has a Facebook group that is all about the 90 day video challenge. I encourage you to visit her blog and find out what other people are doing.

 I have known one of the owners of Synnd and Social Media Science, Tom Rozof, when Synnd was just a part of his vision. Then one day he announced that he had some new software that he wanted a group of us to beta test. His software designer, a brilliant guy from Germany, made eight 5 minute Jing videos for us. Well the software was rough, didn’t work half the time, but still put a fantastic “what if” vision in my mind. I knew that if this ever took off, it would be remarkable.
Well this is about 2 years later. I am still following Tom and now Charles Heflin. They joined forces when they discovered that they were heading in the same direction with similar goals. Synnd now has over 800 members around the world. If you ever really understand what the power of Synnd can do, you will quickly become a member – for life.
First of all, there is nothing like this anywhere. Synnd is a way to syndicate your blog posts, or other important URL’s far and wide on the social landscape. It is done by 800+ separate computers all over the globe. I have a campaign that is now running on Digg, and I set it up for 60 “votes” over 3 days. So 60 separate computers somewhere in the world are “voting” on my Digg URL – piece of content. Next I will take this same content and send it on a Bookmarking campaign to 8 different bookmarking sites. This time I will specify in the campaign that I want 80 “hits” over 8 days. Again 80 computers will each bookmark my content to one of the 8 bookmarking sights.
Here is a video that will give you a lot more information
I am so thankful that I got to know Tom Rozof 3 years ago and now Charles Heflin. They are incredible thinkers and I know following them will be in my best interests. They are totally “white hat” in their SEO and social media philosophy.
One other super benefit from becoming a synnd member is you also then have a membership in the social media step-by-step module teachings on how to research, build and monetize an authority site. This is no little dinky teaching. It is a full-blown strategy based on Charles and Tom’s extensive experience in building blogs and websites that make money. If you were to quit all else and follow their authority site teaching AND use Synnd, you would do very well financially.
Synnd membership costs $67 per month, and this includes 500 “synnd” points each month. You can easily “earn” another 50 points per day, giving you about 2000 points per month. One point = one vote or “hit” on a bookmarking or news site. You can sign up right here: Social Media Science
I am also part of an elite Social Media Science Agent team who are being trained to help small to large businesses kick ass on their competition. We have a unique system to help them online with every conceivable marketing strategy there is.

 Dr. Wentz is a remarkable man. He received his Ph.D. in microbiology and immunology from the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. In 1974 he started Gull Laboratories as a one-man operation. He was successful inmarketing several of his own products to hospitals and clinical laboratories after gaining FDA approval for them.
In 1992 Dr. Wentz founded USANA Health Sciences, a high-tech manufacturer of nutritional foods, supplements and a personal-care product line. USANA has grown into a huge Network Marketing company with thousands of distributors in a bunch of different countries.
One thing Dr. Wentz is very passionate about is helping children in Cambodia
and Uganda who have been orphaned by diseases like HIV and malaria.
He has received numerous awards and recognition for his tireless
achievement and contribution to better health for everyone.
His father died when he was 17 and still in high school. This was
one of the most traumatic events in his life. His father died at the
“young” age of 57. This one event became the catalyst for his
incredible drive to make a difference in the fight against the “new”
degenerative diseases. Because of our fast-food lifestyle we have
replaced the “infectious” diseases that our grandparents suffered
with.
Even though his various businesses have been very successful, Dr.
Wentz first of all considers himself to be a scientist, and not a
businessman. In spite of this, Dr. Wentz’ has won numerous awards and
presidential appointments because of his business knowledge and
business success.
What I think is remarkable is that Dr. Wentz chose network marketing
as the vehicle for taking his company and products mainstream. Most
people don’t realize this, but the network marketing industry has
produced more 6 and 7 figure annual earners than any other industry,
including franchises.
With the economic crisis in the US and world today, network
marketing is almost the last vehicle for developing wealth for the
average person. Many of the traditional ways of building a separate
wealth stream, like real estate and starting a small business, are harder
to do with banks not lending money and the market being so soft.
So I applaud Dr. Wentz for the fabulous job he has done. His vision
was instrumental in building a strong network marketing business that
not only has helped millions of people achieve better health, but has also
provided a great income to those who work hard and have a lead-generating
system to follow.
If you are a USANA distributor or are thinking about joining USANA, having a good lead-generating system can mean the difference between success and failure. For step-by-step training on “how-to” generate 30 – 50 leads per day for your USANA business, click here: MLM Lead Generation
Thank you, Dr. Wentz for bringing health and freedom to so many people.

 If you are thinking about starting your own personal development business, there is certainly a lot of opportunity – especially online. The personal development business is absolutely HUGE. I discovered a few statistics that show just how massive this whole industry really is.
The total self-improvement market in 2008 was about 11.5 billion dollars. The top motivational speakers include Tony Robbins, Deepak Chopra, Phil McGraw, Dr. Laura, Brian Tracy, Stephen Covey, Suze Orman, John Gray, Tom Hopkins, Robert Kiyosaki, Zig Ziglar, Alex Mendossian, Bob Proctor and many others.
There are so many different subjects and topics that could be part of a personal development business. There are very few authors who have a command of all the different subjects. I think Anthony Robbins and Bob Proctor come the closest. But I probably am leaving out your favorite author.
Here are some of the main topics or subjects that are a part of this fantastic industry. Just look at all the variety that you can have as you consider your options for building your own personal development business: self assesment, goal setting (personal, financial, relationship and health), learning style inventory, changing your behavior, mind power, personal wellness, interpersonal skills, career development, personal productivity, dieting, education, e-learning, emotions, energy, ethics, facing problems, family and family values.
When you consider the millions and millions of people that need help in all these areas, it’s not hard to see why the personal development market is so huge, and why it is growing bigger all the time. Right now is a great time to be pursuing your own personal development business.
With the increase of online learning, personal development is even taking a new and exciting turn. This is opening up some interesting new doors for a budding entrepreneur to make a lot of money in personal development.
One of the big announcements in 2009 was a new online personal development network marketing business that uses high definition videos to teach short 8 -10 minute segments. It has attracted some of the top personal growth faculty in the whole industry. People like Brian Tracy, Alex Mendossian, Bob Proctor, John Gray, Stephen Covey and Hiram Smith.
The company is i Learning Global and it is growing like crazy. One reason is because the quality and variety of content is beyond comparison. People love the short high impact videos. For many it has become a morning ritual, before buzzing off to work. People are seeing a marked difference in their lives, in a short time, by just 8 to 10 minutes of video each day.
Here’s why I personally chose to build my fortune with i Learning Global:
1)There is no competition. And this is refreshing when you consider all the highly competitive juice, travel and communication businesses that are fighting each other for market share.
2)iLearningGlobal has a 90% retention rate. This means the number of people who stay with the company for at least 6 months. Guess what the industry average rate is? A disgusting 15%.
3)ILearningGlobal has a huge and growing market. Their market includes any business, business trainers, leaders, new business startups, coaches and the huge non-business market who gobble up self-help books and CD’s.
4)The iLearningGlobal company pays out a wopping 60% of earnings to the field. The industry average is about 40 to 45% with a few at 50%.
What does this all mean to you? You make a LOT more money with a LOT fewer people in your organization.
I am very thankful that I landed on the fastest growing team in all of iLearning Global. We have nightly webinars to invite new people. We have an incredible Fast Start Training. We show you how you can attract people to you instead of always chasing them. We have as system that will teach you exactly how to attract your own leads.
Please watch this short 2 minute video of Brian Tracy. And the second video is by Bill Bartmann, the billionaire no one has heard of. His talk is incredible, because he lays out real clearly WHY a billionaire would even bother with iLearningGlobal. Fascinating!
