3 Things I "GROCKED" Today

On a 2 hour business drive today,
I listened to my mentor for most of the way.
3 things I've heard before, that I really
grocked only today. Duhhh !
What you need to make money on the internet:

1. A lead capture page
2. An automated response system
3. A well written, direct marketing
sales page.

How hard can that be? So... Here goes.

What have been doing ( or not doing )

What have I been doing the last week?

The truth is, I sort of bogged down this week. I just didn't do

the productive things. I reviewed what to do. I read some
inspirational tapes and books, but those things in themselves
I don't count as productive actions. They don't lead directly
to earning.

I came across an audio CD in the process that was
titled, "ACTION! Nothing Happens Until Something Moves" .
That said it all. So here goes. Next steps:
** Put lead capture on every page and every email where it
appropriate.
** Set up tracking on the target of everything.
** Start a PPC campaign.

That ought to do it for now. I will make a couple of moves.

Great, inspirational thoughts from
Daegan ==== Part Three

For instance the first time I paid a
consultant $10,000 for a day of his time I almost
thought I was crazy and anyone I told what I had
done surely did.

I know a lot more today than before that day and
it's added up to many multiples of that original
asking price.

A life lesson learned by me, and one I hope you
have the chance to experience one day.

The one and only thing that stops you from getting
to where you want to go is that little voice in your
head that says "I don't know if this is good idea
and it's so much money or so little certainty.
Maybe I should pass on this one."

Daegan ==== Part TWO

If you get up and go to work today you know at
the end of the week you will receive a paycheck
for the hours you work. You did it last week and
the week before and the resultis always
the same so why would you think anything
different would happen this week?

It most likely won't.

Step out of that boring existence and push
your limits and start your own business
and what happens? Who knows? Its
uncharted territory as far as
your mind is concerned.

The result is a constant feeling of fear and anxiety
about what's to come next. And what Perry
argued in his final words at this conference is that
means your right on track.

I can't tell you how many times in the past two
years I've been less than sure of the outcome
of my actions and yet proceeded forward with
marvelous results.

Daegan ==== Part ONE


Perry Marshal was on stage and said one of THE
most straight forward yet poignant statements I've
ever heard.

"The more on track you are in your
entrepreneurial pursuits the more afraid
you'll be."


Simply genius.

He went on to explain that we all
grow up trained for a live as a worker bee, a life
full of security and marginal increases in pay.
A life where you trade your hours for dollars
for much less than they're worth.

But once you get into business for yourself
the paradigm shifts and unless you're aware of it,
just this alone can result in you running back
to the J.O.B. shaking with fear never
to be heard of again.



As an entrepreneur you're life is literally defined
by doing things that the other guy doesn't have
the guts to do and so it's a constant battle within
yourself to push past your limits.

And well your limits are what make you
"feel" safe because you're always working
within a framework of cause and effect
where the effect of what you do is so regular
that you know the outcome. ( Part 2 tomorrow )
