Possibility Thinking

Whoa! Now theres a fun thought. Whos willing to take it and run with it? Can you see yourself with an income of 100k a month?

There is such a thing as possibility thinking. It is very much like dreaming. If you can imagine what it would feel like to earn this kind of money then you can quite possibly be on your way to making it a reality.

At first, dreams seem impossible, then improbable, and eventually inevitable. Christopher Reeve

If you are laughing thinking there is no way that you would ever have that kind of money then you are probably right. It takes the effort of possibility thinking to bring your dreams to reality. The only way to reach great heights in life is to dream yourself already there.

Obviously no one starts out making $100K a month. This type of income takes an evolution I your thinking and practice. Along the way you will have to learn the tricks to being wealthy and staying wealthy.

Preparing Your Mind for Wealth

The first step is to make sure you are ready on the inside for this kind of wealth. In your heart of hearts do you feel you deserve to be wealthy? Do you feel it is a bad thing to be wealthy? (For instance, you grew up thinking all rich people are mean and greedy?) Do you feel you will not be capable of handling large amounts of income?

You also have to realize your own worth in making this kind of money and ensure that any thought patterns that indicate reluctance or doubt are absolved. Once you take the time to tune your mental chatter you will be ready to go!

Make a Game Plan

Now that you are intent on making a $100k a month, you need to think about what you would really do with all that newly acquired wealth. The best thing you can do is begin to make conscientious plans now for your future.

You have to be careful not to fall victim to sudden wealth syndrome. This happens to many people who come into heaps of money quickly and are unprepared for the ramifications. They get rich and have no idea what to do, feel they are undeserving and have some level of guilt. This causes them to invest poorly, spend like crazy and they end up losing the money quicker than they got it.

In your future planning think about matters like trust funds or giving to charities. Talk to already wealthy people and get input on the best ways to invest smart. Network with a quality financial advisor. Other business know-how like being able to properly assess a business venture or purchasing wealth building real estate should be considered.

Cars, Homes and Fancy Things

Becoming very wealthy is not all about the biggest and best toys or the most lavish mansion. That should simply be a side bonus. Becoming very wealth is more about learning how to make that money grow so some of it will be in place for all of your tomorrows and for generations to come.

Always allow yourself to dream. Let your mind take you to the glorious places that having a $100K a month will lead you. As you are dreaming take note of what you are thinking and the many ways your life will be different. The more you think about it, the more convinced you will that it will happen to you.

It is of utmost importance to remain convinced that this can happen to you.

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

Ever see these poor old folk sitting around (or not so old) telling all of us whats right and wrong with the world. (You’ll probably get more wrongs that right). What makes them the all seeing, all knowing experts! Trouble is, if we are not careful we could wind up like that if we are not careful. Instead we must do it, not talk about it!

We only have a limited short time on this planet and we are prone to wasting it, just like when we were teenagers! Don’t get me wrong, I’m not suggesting we spend every waking minute at the coalface but then we should not spend it on the couch either.

If we want a better life we are going to have to get up and do it ourselves. Oops, that’s unless you were born with a zillion in the bank. I’m old enough to know now that if it was me no good would have come of it anyway.

Heck, all you have to do is employ that miracle worker between your ears. You know, that piece of technology that keeps us ticking over 24/7. It’s pretty good at multi-tasking i.e. making money, eating, making money, washing, making…oh, you get the picture.

It gets even better when you don’t have to bundle up like Nanook and step into that wintry blast to mush your way to the coalface! Alternatively you could be running your life your way by running your own tidy enterprise. Just look out the window and observe ‘the damned’ hacking their way to work.

In other words, doing what I want to do! No one else. Just little ol’ me. There is a solid reason behind this and that is we excel in what we enjoy doing. We don’t have to talk ourselves into it. We don’t have to kick ourselves out of bed to do it.

This is YOUR unique project, no one else’s. You did it. Because of this not only is sheer genius (he said) but you had no problem talking yourself into it! It just ‘happened’.

So, don’t get cocky…oh why not then. Nothing wrong with self esteem and it can only lead to better things. It has been my observation over the years that self confidence can be wrongly confused with arrogance.

People around you receive these signals and react in all kinds of positive ways (to your positive glow) for they would much rather bathe in radiant sunshine than an overcast sky.

To be a popular ‘leading light’ is nice to imagine and it is possible for anyone of us to put into action. Just a little application on a daily basis, yes, that’s right, a little bit of intent and you will be amazed!

Which leads me to what I originally set out to do here. That is to suggest and discuss various routes and devices we can use to discover what we can do…and enjoy as we do them. A Home Based Business. A voyage of discovery if you like. It’s gotta be better than just drifting. You’ll only bump into a reef or something and sink.

When we are stuck for ideas for consideration a lot of us turn to the web where there is of course an abundance. You could spend weeks/months trawling and still not have an answer,…but, you would be a lot closer, whether you knew it or not!

The net is such a powerful place to be and it is accelerating by the minute. I find that very exciting. Bye for now, see you next time.

Jeff Paul Revisited

I think it’s time to do an update on good old Jeff Paul and his “Short Cuts to Internet Millions”. Jeff Paul has had a little time, since the first review I wrote on him, to either improve the way he runs his online companies or continue to run scams.

Well after running a few searches on Mr. Jeff Paul it looks, to me as if John Paul has not changed at all.

Here are two complaints on Jeff Paul I have found on other sites.

12/5/2008 - Marty writes: I’ve done a bit more research. Jeff Paul runs this under variouse company names, and the BBB rates them an F. Multiple complaints like the ones listed on this site. Company never responds to these complaints as the BBB has no enforcement authority. The CA Attourny General needs to look at these clowns that have taken so much from so many. I’ve not found one positive revue of any of his products other than those he’s produced himself on his own sites. Testimonials to how great all this crap works. Cancell your credit card ASAP. Even if you try to cancell with these scam artists, they will charge you again!

8/21/2008 - Ted writes: I should know better. Having owned, run, and sold other very sucessful companies, I felt a few thousand dollars was a small investment to help my small staff get a couple of good websites up and operational so we could improve our internet presence. Despite our 35 years of other business accolades we had little internet experience or presence. The materials were sophomoric at best and foreshadowed the competence of the coaches assigned to help us. Jeff Paul’s idea of canned websites turns out to be reselling junk literature from their portfolio. Not exactly as represented when we were solicited or promised over the phone. Of course they sell your name to web developers who try to get a second and third bite. Offers for dozens of valuable services come often. My staff, despite their competence, have gained little in training or competence, as the Jeff Paul system has proven virtually worthless in producing a true ecommerce website worthy of any companies reputation. The infomercial is appealing and obviously works for them. But if your goal is truly to create value for your company or self by selling on the internet. Save your few thousand (even it that is not a lot of money to you), and find a local web developer with great references and a few years of experience they are plentiful. Price paid, lesson learned. Avoid Jeff Paul.

Well people it looks to me like Mr. Jeff Paul hasn’t done a thing to improve his image. In fact it looks like Jeff Paul as continued to scam people right and left.

As I said in my first look at Jeff Paul, “The only thing I can say about Jeff Paul is it would be best, IMO, to stay away from him.”

Jeff Paul’s “Short Cuts to Internet Millions” does have a low cost startup, but it’s just the tip of the iceberg, as you will be solicited for various upgrades, paid training and expensive mentoring After researching Jeff Paul I found tens if not hundreds of complaints about the Jeff Paul system. Many people have paid $1950.00 for the revolutionary system, which claims to provide a 60-day unconditional money back guarantee. Of course the money was never returned. One person was taken for $8,500.00, which was never refunded! This person claims to have tried to contact Greg Wardin the so-called ‘confidence man’ many times requesting a refund. All attempts failed. In fact he has never even been able to reach Greg Wardin. This doesn’t sound much like an unconditional money back guarantee to me. The only thing I can say about Jeff Paul is it would be best, IMO, to stay away from him.

1) Understand The Call Goal

Before you even make the call, identify the purpose and end goal of your call. What action do you want your prospects to take after the call? If you don’t have a goal, you won’t get the result that you want in the end.

2) Don’t Give It All Away Too Fast

When your prospect says, “Send me some information,” that does not translate into them reading that information. Do not oblige them and send information just as a means to get off of the phone. Find out if they really want the information, or if they are just trying to get rid of you.

3) Poor Telephone Manners

Good manners and phone etiquette seem fairly simple. However, when you are on the phone, you might not even realize that what you are doing is obnoxious to the person on the other end of the line. It is best to not chew gum, eat, drink, or be trying to do other things while you are making a call. You will be distracted as well as your prospect.

4) Not Listening To Your Prospect

If you want to know what your prospect is thinking, just listen to them. Make sure that you do not monopolize the conversation. Poor listening skills will lead to failure.

5) Making Your Fears The Prospects’

Just because your prospect does not have the time to talk to you right now does not mean that they never want to talk to you. Do not jump to conclusions. You may have just caught them at an inconvenient time. Ask them when would be a better time to chat and reschedule your appointment.

6) Failing To Ask Enough Questions

There are things that you need to know about your prospect to qualify them, but also make sure to find out about what they want you to know. People love to talk about themselves, their families, and things of interest to them. You will build rapport with them by being interested in what interests them.

7) Not Being Prepared

You would be foolish to enter into an important presentation with little to no preparation. The phone is absolutely no different. Take some time to think over what you have to say. It might also be helpful to role play with a friend or loved one. Find out what areas you need to work on and smooth out the rough spots.
Ask For It

You want to compel your prospect to action. It’s not good enough to tell them, you want them to do their due diligence and look into what you’re telling them. If you ask them to do something for you, then you have an opportunity to follow up with them and make sure that they did what you requested of them.

These days, lots of people are trying to find a well chosen quality home based work opportunity. A good home based business opportunity could be a potent second job, or a career change that can make you rich. Here are a few of the possibilities that could be the home based opportunity you’re looking for.

The best work from home businesses available are internet based endeavors. An online opportunity has a lot of desirable aspects when measured up to different kinds of home based businesses. With an internet enterprise, you will find a few interesting features that you don’t find from other areas of work.

A good observation is that the strongest characteristic of a correctly established online company is that it can work for you 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This feature, alone, makes an online company a fantastic alternative when looking for a home based business opportunity. Just imagine how good it will feel working a business that makes you income while you’re out of the office.

You will come across a number of various techniques that an entrepreneur can choose from to make money on the world wide web. We will split the list of opportunities apart into just two separate groups. The two categories are 1, working for someone, and 2, having your own business.

The initial list will have any kind of occupation where you are hired, and get paid by, someone else. We have found there are a lot of different kinds of online, stay at home, employment possibilities out there. Some of the jobs on this list will cetainly include, bookkeeping, telemarketing, and ghost writing.

There isn’t much needed to get hired for just about all of these home based jobs. It will be presumed that, you should be qualified, or prepared to learn, to perform the tasks desired. You most definitely will also need a phone for pretty much any of these various online jobs.

The last, and most obvious, piece of equipment that you need is a personal computer. If you do good work, most companies like a work from home arrangement. The business is helped not just from your effort, and your equipment, but also saves work area.

The second group is of careers that will be for any of you who hope to be self-employed. The different kinds of opportunities you will find are comprised of, online stores, affiliate selling, and marketing. This list is simply a few of all the possible ways to make a living that exist.

Choosing any of these ventures, you have to be your own boss. It will be up to you to decide how much effort you put into this, and you will be wearing all the hats in your new business. The upside is huge, but so are the responsibilities, when running your very own online business.

Most business people will tell you that, it will be better for you to start your new venture as a supplemental income stream. This can reduce the risk while you build up this new business challenge. Down the road, if you are successful, you can decide if you will switch over to your profitable venture full time.

Work from home careers seem to be the wave of the future. Run an investigation, and discover all the best business opportunities that are out there. If you find your niche, you could retire young and wealthy.
