Write Your Goals Down

In today’s post, we will look at the effectiveness of writing goals, and how setting and achieving them can take you quicker than you thought possible towards your financial targets.

There is a saying that the difference between a millionaire and a billionaire, is that the billionaire will read their goals twice a day, instead of once. This is not far from the truth, and those who do take daily action will see bigger and better results.

Writing down your goalsA famous study was done at the Harvard Business School, in the 1979 MBA Program. In the study, students were asked, “Have you set clear, written goals for your future and made plans to accomplish them?” Only 3% of the graduates had written goals and plans, 13% had goals, although they were not in writing, and a massive 84% had no specific goals at all.

Some ten years later, the members of the class were re-interviewed, and the results were mind blowing. The 13% of the class whom had goals were earning on average, twice as much as the 84% who had no goals at all. As for the 3% who had written goals, well they were earning on average, ten times as much as the other 97% put together.

This is clear and documented evidence, of the importance of writing down goals and I hope that you realise the impact that goal setting in writing will have on your life. As a gesture of good will, today I want to give you something that will change your life if you just take the small amount of action required to do so.

Here is a goal planning sheet, and it covers everything I think that is involved in hitting your target. Fill it in, and twice a day, read and believe your goals. Expect your goals to be achieved, even if you are unsure of the ‘how’, and miracles will begin to happen before your eyes.

Making Money While You Sleep

In today’s post we will have a look at online affiliate marketing, and see just why it is such a great way to either make some additional income, or to have a full time business doing it. Effective affiliate marketing, can be the greatest way to make money while you sleep.

Online affiliate marketing, is when you direct someone to a merchants website that you are affiliated with. If Affiliate Marketingthe person (or web surfer) makes a purchase from that site, then you an an affiliate will receive a commission for your help. Even though you may not have even head of affiliates, the chances are if you have ever bought anything over the Internet, there is a great chance that you did so via an affiliate.

Affiliate marketing is huge business, and the industry is growing every day. There is plenty of room to make money, as there are so many niches on the Internet that will allow you to market. Saturation across the Internet is just not possible in most niches.

To become an affiliate marketer is very simple, and is most often free to become an affiliate. The place that makes affiliate products very easy to find is at Clickbank. This is a website where there are thousands of electronic information products, and merchants place them there so people like us can sign up very easily to become an affiliate.

From there you will now have a unique URL that you can begin to drive traffic to in a multitude of ways. Once a purchase is made, you will be able to find out through your Clickbank account, and you will receive your affiliate commission cheque once a month. All you have to do is set up the initial system to drive traffic to your unique URL, and then you can sit back and make money while you sleep.

This is a great time to be learning about affiliate and Internet Marketing, and many people including myself have replaced their incomes and have very profitable businesses with this approach. In the future i will go into more detail and offer some great strategies that you can begin to do by yourself, and start to make money while you sleep.

The USA Just Talked Itself Into A Recession

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

Will They Talk Themselves Into A Depression Though?

The US came out last night and admitted that they are in a recession, and have been since December of 2009. No great surprise there, and I have publicly stated many times that they have been since the end of last year. Still, I’m not here to say I told you so, rather to give some direction as to how you take this news.

Control Your Financial FutureAs you probably know by now, I am a firm believer in the theory that economic markets on a micro and macro level, are a direct indication to the state of people’s perception of them. So if enough people believe that there is a recession on right now, then they will act and take actions in line with those perceptions, and the result being the economy will slide head first into a recession.

What I am suggesting to you, is that if you choose not to be a part of this Recession, then you do not have to. Now, a lot of people will be scoffing at me right now, and I’m guessing a few have even left the page too. It is true though, if you want to be a part of the Recession than by all means go ahead and do so. For those of you who don’t want any part in it, and actually want to prosper more than you could imagine financially, read on.

The wealthy (and I mean the real wealthy, not the people who did well in the last Bull Market and lost it all earlier this year) will be making more money and creating more wealth right now, than at any other time in the last 80 years, or since the great depression. Why, because they are doing the opposite of what everyone else is doing. Many of today’s real wealth families is a direct link to the great depression, as that is when their families made so much money.

This goes back to something that a man named Charles Darwin made famous, and that is that it is the living things that can adapt the quickest, will flourish and survive. That is just as true for financial markets too, and if you can quickly adapt to the current financial crisis, then you will not only survive, yet you will flourish as well.

You have the opportunity to become financially educated right now and take advantage of the best opportunities in a generation, or you can choose to stick your head in the sand and believe and become part of this Recession. The choice is completely yours, what will you choose?
