Roughly 25 years ago, while a student at NC State University, I
discovered karate. I spent many hours over the next 2 years learning
the art I fell in love with before graduating and leaving North Carolina.
In those intervening 22 1/2 years I studied under a number of different
instructors, and became adept at fighting with a number of weapons
as well as empty handed.
Recently I accepted an invitation from first instructor, whom I'd
estimate to be in his mid-70s, to begin studying under him again.
I'll journey from Florida to North Carolina from time to time to
practice and learn from this master of the martial arts.
I was reminded that mastering the martial arts is like mastering just
about any discipline including Internet marketing. First, you get
down the basics. You have to start from a firm foundation. After you
get the basics down, you really only have to keep doing a few things
over and over again (correctly). Repetition IS the mother of mastery.
This reminded me not to allow myself to stray too far from the
basics in Internet marketing. Since I sell a lot of my own products
as well as affiliate products, I asked myself if I had strayed from the
basics. Just as in karate, I looked around for the best of the best to
teach me more. To review my "basics" in affiliate marketing, I spent
a little time recently in contact with a true MASTER.
There is no denying that anyone who can sell over $450,000 worth
of affiliate products in a year is a master. My friend Rosalind
Gardner did this 2 years ago, and does much better now. So I've
started picking her mind and studying everything I can that she's
authored. I was scheduled to speak, along with Rosalind, at the
Affiliate Masters' Cruise in September. I looked forward to that but
the cruise was canceled due to scheduling conflicts.
My next opportunity to work with Rosalind will begin next month
when we both help Rebecca Hagel with a product creation workshop.
This will be a 12-week workshop where "Becky" will step
virtual-attendees through the entire process and they will walk away
with their own product at the end of the workshop. You can register
for this workshop excellent workshop at:
http://InternetMarketingSeminarSchedule.com
It's listed on the
August - November pages.
Realizing that Rosalind had a lot I could learn on affiliate marketing,
I've spent much of the last 2 days studying her ebook, "The Super
Affiliate Handbook." She's packed a lot of details on exactly how
she does so well with affiliate products in those 270 pages. If you
haven't checked out "Roz's" book, you're cheating yourself of a lot
of
great knowledge from someone who has mastered a topic. Spend
some time this weekend reading Roz's book. You can get a copy at:

I promised good friend Dr. Mani that I would tell you about his
blog-a-thon. Mani is a heart surgeon in India who devotes most of
his time to helping children born with heart problems. He's operated
on a lot of them over the years. He's doing a blog-a-thon as a
fundraiser to help finance giving a few more very sick children a shot
at life. Take a minute and check out what he's doing at:

We WILL have a free brainstorming and networking call this
Saturday. Why not join us on this call? Register, then request a
free review of your website. To register just send a blank email to
my autoresponder at: willie3-56875@autocontactor.com
These brainstorming calls and the numerous teleseminars I've done
over the past 2 years have generated a LOT of excellent audio.
Rather than just letting it sit on my harddrive, I'm going to put most
of this inside a membership site that my team is working on. This
site will include audio from many tele-seminar I've done with others
and even some that I've purchased the rights to.
I'm also going to add a TON of ebooks and products I have master
reprint right to. The membership site will open this weekend and
membership will be $19.97 per month or $97 per year. It will be
worth every penny. If we stay on schedule, I'll send you an email
letting you know when it's open.
We'll have an affiliate program that pays 50% commission, but
only members will be allowed to promote it. This will generate a
very nice recurring income stream for many members!
If you like being a real Early-Bird, I do have a special for you. It's
only good through Monday, Juy 26th. Between now and then, you
can get a 1-Year membership for only $67. This special will not be
extended. It's just part of a marketing test that I'm conducting to -
among other things - help me gage actual ezine readership. The
site itself will not be ready until the weekend, possibly as late as
Monday. To register before the site officially opens here's a link

Bill Phillips, in his excellent book "Body for Life," likens
making the life-style changes necessary to build a healthier
body to crossing a deep, dark chasm. Before you cross this
chasm, it often looks like a very daunting task. Once you get
started, doing what you need to do soon becomes a habit
that requires very little effort.
Building a successful on-line business also involves crossing a
deep, dark chasm where you must make doing just a few things
that you need to do regular "habits." There is really little
more involved in achieving success after you've done the proper
research than "crossing the chasm."
Just as getting started turning a body suffering from years of
neglect into a picture of health can appear nearly impossible
at first, so can your building an on-line business that
generates a six or seven-figure income.
My friend, and author of the best seller "The Super Affiliate
Handbook," Rosalind Gardner, once pointed out how simple
it was doing an interview which was a part of the JV Alert
Perpetual Learning Series. She said it's like when you want
to lose that extra 10 pounds and all you really need to do is
just start walking! The fact is that so few people just "start
walking."
People who want to build their own on-line businesses rarely
suffer from a lack of ideas. In-fact, most have too many ideas.
Because they have too many ideas, they can't focus and
choose which idea to start on first. The solution is of course
to just choose one idea and "start walking." Usually, it makes
the most sense to choose the idea that fits in with the most of
your long-term objectives to start on first.
Sometimes, it takes choosing a smaller project to get
started on - and complete - first. This "finally getting
something done" can generate the momentum and cause
you to dare starting other larger projects.
One of the tools in Bill Phillips' book that helps to keep
you on-target, if your goal is a new health body, is a
workout partner. If you have someone that you know is
waiting to meet you at the gym or track, then you have
little choice but to show up ready for the workout - no matter
how unmotivated you may feel on some days.
Being accountable to someone else, and knowing that they're
depending upon you, helps you stick with a new pattern
long enough for it to become a habit. That why professionals
in many fields have coaches or managers. They possess the
talent but need someone to keep them focused or directed.
You can use the same principle in your on-line business.
Simply form a partnership or joint venture with someone where
completing one of your projects is part of the deal. This added
accountability, and knowing that someone is depending upon
you to do your part, will force you to do things until they
become new habits.
Working with a mentor or coach in your on-line business can
have the same effect of keeping you focused and moving
forward. A good coach or manager, who is also a good match
for you, will provide you with as much prodding and guidance
as necessary.
Crossing that chasm really is little more than forming new
habits that you KNOW you need to form in the first place.
For some people, one of those habits is actually learning how
to be wealthy and successful. Many of us have a "poverty
mentality" that we need to break free from first. That was
a mentality that I personally had to shake off.
Cultivating the success mentality involves feeding your mind the
proper instructions and teaching it to think like a person
who IS wealthy and successful. A highly-recommend aid to
properly retraining your mind is the best-selling course, "Know
How To Be Rich" by Dr. Robert Anthony. You can find it at:
http://TheInternetLifestyle.com
You must get in the HABIT
of feeding your mind the proper nutrition just as you should feed
your physical body the proper building materials.
Just as for teh person getting back in shape, mindset is one of
the first flaws most of us need to correct. If you look in the
mirror and tell yourself that "it's useless" then you'll never
start.
Instead, read the success stories of people just like you who've
already done what you intend to do. Seeing that ordinary people
CAN achieve what at first seems extraordinary has a way of
spurring you to get started. For that reason, I have all of my
consulting clients read John Evans best-seller, Success Alert
which you can read about at http://Success-Alert.com
Once you get started, it's fairly easy to keep going. Keep
going, or keep doing anything new long enough, and it becomes
a habit. Develop the habit of doing those seemingly difficult
things that you know you need to do, and before you know it
you will find yourself on the other side of that chasm!
