Are You Consciously Lazy-Minded?

A lot of people object to it even being suggested that they are lazy in their on line work, but truth is, lazy can be exactly what the doctor ordered or it can be the cause of root failure.

In either case, the bottom line seems to be are you a naturally lazy person, in practice, or a victim of not being in charge of your thinking practices?

What changes empower the Lazy-minded?

Lazy-minded, to me, means I have fully automated as much of my work as possible. Now I can kick back and watch the results roll in. If you are putting in 16-hour days and not seeing good results, then you definitely are a victim of not being in charge of your thinking and acting processes.

You would definitely need to change the way you look at where you are to get to where you want to be.

All the things you desire, from the most basic to the most involved are within your power to create in your reality.

Thus this power, that you possess, is better understood once you get in tune with your mental processes. How you think, why you act as you do, assessing the results of your actions, which in turn, inspires a new light of understanding, allowing new confidence to shape your destiny.

Lazy-Minded Conundrum?

If the attitude of mind depends on what we think, if we must be before we can do, and only to the extent of what we are, then does it hold that what we are depends on what we think?

I don't think we need a psychiatrist's couch to help us recognize that the world within is governed by our minds. That with this discovery, we can control the power of the world without, control our choice of actions, and empower ourselves to find the solution to every need.

What the lazy-minded personality needs to understand is all possession is based on consciousness. That all success is the result of accumulated consciousness. All Loss is the result of a scattering conciousness.

The lazy-minded grow through conscious thinking

The structure of this theory is easily proven by you. If you jump from one program to another without rhyme or understood reason, then your conciousness is scattered.

Most marketers that fail, try to change effects by working with effects. They fail to see that this is simply changing one form of distress for another. This is a subjective process and the results are seen in an infinite variety of conditions and experiences.

To remove discord, or to change results for the better, it is necessary to remove the cause, and this cause is best found within the parameters of how we think.

All growth is from within. Recognition is a mental process. Mental action is therefore the interaction of what we think upon the outer physical plane of what we attach our thoughts to.

This mind bending does not include the subconscious. That is the referee of our final decisions. No matter how someone judges our expressed thoughts or deeds, this internal cousin of our consciousness will have the final word.

Will it be truth or fiction, honesty or error, ease of understanding or downright terror? This choice often rests with the guardian of our purest thoughts, the conscious mind.

Something to think about.

Federal Reserve owns You

Normally, I do not deal with political issues in this blog but this news headline caught my eye ."Fed chief's new fear: Inflation The economy still faces slower growth prospects but increasing inflation concerns could "complicate" the Federal Reserve's efforts to stimulate the economy, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke told lawmakers today."

My immediate thought was how this news would affect you and me, cutbacks in jobs, higher mortgage interest charges and maybe plain losing assets we have worked all our lives to earn?

Sometimes these headlines are fear mongering at best and other times the changes they do evoke are down right too darned truthful fo rcomfort.

Changes - Federal Reserve - Inflation vs Deflation

My first thoughts in research, brought me to an informative conclusion. Dear Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke may have been appointed by President Bush to head of the Federal Reserve BUT that is where the power ends.

The British Crown, or the British monarchy is the owner of the Federal Reserve. This is their real secret. The strategy of the Federal Reserve is their other secret. How's that bit of news for thinking the United States had cut their ties to Great Britain with the war of 1812?

That secret is the debasing of your currency. That keeps inflation high or on the rise when gets too low - [ keeps country building tax structures, you poor and government coffers filling] and watches out for deflation which can totally destroy a country when all is running below an accepted norm.

Well I got off track here a bit but not really. In times like these it seems that real gold is the way to save. Real gold never loses complete value and goes up faster than it comes down.

No matter where inflation or job cutbacks come into the picture, the investment in owning gold will cover you through the hard times.

Something to act upon?

Flim-Flam, Scam or Sham ...

Flim-Flam, Scam or Sham Make You Money If You Can

If I see one more advertisement on how I can make money online with the basic tools of a computer, an internet connection by following the lead of some hypster I may commit mayhem.

Screaming is too good a waste of effort for these sham artists.

Of course you have to have a computer to work on line. Of course you need an internet connection to even be on line.

Are all these offers flim-flam, scam or sham? No but the truth is, most of them are a total waste of your time and money.

It is what they do not say upfront, the behind the scenes offer that will help you succeed at filling your bank account or maxing your credit cards. More apt to be the latter.

The flim-flam experience

When I first came on line, in the mid 90's, I was Miss Gullible. I fell for the paid for e-mails, the HYIPs - tho NOT with MY money but the money of a good friend equally as gullible as to making a good income from them. While he knew the system of get in and get out faster than you got in, and made some dollars, eventually it caught up with him too.

History can sometimes be a very cruel teacher - he is gone - off line, his credibility shot to hell and his dreams some where out there in cyberspace.

For all I know of him now, not having heard from him for a while, he may be dealing with his worse fear - serving out some time in prison for what he was lead to believe in would work.

Lessons in logic and common sense often come with a very high price tag. Still these programs survive on the backs of the inexperienced newbie, the uninitiated and the hungry - whose desperation for their own success journey leads them astray.

Scam or Sham

It's too bad that those of us suckered by these opportunities do not keep a public record of our bad experiences. That we do not share them so that you can decide to avoid them in the first place.

But would you learn from our mistakes? Would it be too much to expect your lack of experience to help you make an informed decision on trusting what happened to us to help you avoid the same mistakes? Would the severity of my poor lost friend shake your common sense just a little?

Probably not.

More to the point, you would decide we just did not have what it takes. You are smarter than us and you buy into the promises that sound so good., and you just know you can do it better.

Maybe you can.

Maybe you will realize faster than we did that you cannot make money simply because some one else promises you can. It will take that four-letter word called work to make it happen as well as time and a darned good plan on how to build the business skills you will need to keep some control over your fast disappearing cash.

(WOW, look at all those dirty four letter words in that paragraph. )

Maybe you won't

Then again, you might just join the growing list of jaded marketers and decide the Net is just not for you. It is full of crooks and hypsters you just cannot resist. Maybe you are better off back in the chat rooms being solicited while you play games that are not so threatening.

For the slim majority of you who do get the message, who do expect and will accept nothing less than the best, who are willing to spend the time creating a workable plan, accept the need to test, work hard and prosper, we are here waiting to show you how.

How Google Dancing Hits Backlinks Hard

What's the fuss about Google, what is called the Google Dance, Page Rank and backlinks? It hapens once a month so if you do not like Googling changes in page rank then you better get learning how and why your SEO is affected on such a regular basis.

Your mail is full of what appears to be great advice on how to use search Engine software that will save you hours, blast your site pages, and you can even buy or sell back links to hungry customers.

EVERY bit of those offers, if you use them, will get you penalized one way or the other from Google and other search engines as well. These are all recognized ways of spamming search engines and you cannot spam Search Engines and get away with it for long.

The spammer cry is Google changed the algorithms. No they did not. They may have updated them to stop the antics of spammers but they seldom change the base algorithm. And basically, that is what Google dancing is all about.

Being in the know as to what Google Dance updates are will give you a far more honest appraisal of what the Google Guidelines are all about and why Google has to update their standards so often.

Google Lesson on Using Backlinks

It is not only the need for Google changing the algorithms or simply to update them , but when it does that often affects your rankings. The urge is to go for high page rank presuming that makes you highly creditable and therefore should increase both your organic traffic flow and your customer base.

It can and should do both, however, relying on only this form of traffic is not smart. Why?

In your drive to get PR5- PR7s or better to link to you, or you to try linking to them - in the former, if Google does any updating, then their nose dive affects YOUR PR ranking, and in the latter, you must have a pretty good review site to hang onto your PR ranking with Google or any other Search Engine.

Pattern Changes Using Keyword BackLinking

As a new user, you are not considered an authority in what your web sites produce. Therefore, you will rely on getting back links to your site that may or may not help you much. While higher page rank such as a 5/10, 6/10 or 7/10 is the ultimate goal, your first job is to get your site up to par and ranked by Search Engine spiders. None of these higher ranked sites will even look at the idea of returning back links to a zero ranked site.

Now do not use artificial back linking either. Unless your anchor text link is relevant to your copy, then you won't gain much either in any consideration for outgoing links the search engines might consider valuable to your current content.

If you are not familiar with using anchor text linking then you better get with the picture like yesterday.Back linking to someone's Blog or web site does you absolutely no good and does not make you popular with Search Engine enthusiasts.

Your back link to simply a web site or Blog is not helping the person you linked to so it is highly unlikely they will promote you in their work. Keyword anchor text linking is the way to go. Choose a keyword from your blog or web copy and anchor link it to the relevant keyword in their blog or web page NOT to the sites in themselves.

In all cases, make sure your copy and their copy you wish to link to is about the same topic. Linking the keyword in a golf topic would hardly be relevant to the same keyword used in a gardening topic.

Quite often you will see sidebars where the top Blogs to link to are listed, or in footers where they promote the other backlinkers. If paid or buy links are involved then they got hit too.

Finalizing the Google Penalty for Abusing Back Linking

Good for you that you have not got suckered into buying   back links to gain a Page Rank nor that you are not a member of some of these large Blogging networks exchanging links in hopes of higher Page Rank. YOU would be amongst the page rank losers then and now.

Good for you that you take the time to research history in the methodology someone wants you to test. Knowing what works or does not work will keep your traffic promotions up to speed and your SEO work worthy of your time and effort.

See you at the top

Unfocused Change Can Mean Business Failure

Is 2008 the year you will change your perspective and perhaps create the income really wanted? We all need a rude awakening in order to realize that unfocused change can mean business failure is not far behind.

Surfing the Internet can be like walking into a candy store. You are barely inside the door and someone is offering you a freebie that is supposed to change your life. Not always for the better either.

Do you lose your focus, become totally unhinged at these offers?

Distractions create unfocused change.

There is PLR 'digital dust' as one marketer refers to it, sitting on your hard drive, tons of make money reports, software that screws up the configuration of your computer, and OTO offers that bring out the credit card

The change in your normal up front creditable personality does a flip flop and you are lost in the morass of 'great offers' you cannot refuse.

Unfocused Change Can Mean Business Failure

For once you got real. You listened to real advice and set up an outline of a plan for where you wanted to go in 2007. You were eager to succeed and you committed yourself to building a business that would at least bring in a few hundred dollars every month. You were totally focused.

Nothing they could throw at you was not going to change your focus. Your plan was solid. So what happened? What changed direction pulled you way off course?

2008 YOUR Year of Focused Change

The candy store has not changed. In fact, if you are paying any attention to your mail, the choices have become even more attractive.

While it is not sensible to suggest serious marketers will not take advantage of these offers, it is totally insensible to believe much if any of it will ever be used.

How to Avoid Disasterous Unfocused Change

When you download that super great report or video showing you drooling income earnings, tear them apart, right now right when you download them.

Appraise their possible proclaimed change for the better on your business goals.

Do they really fit into your focused plans?

Can you turn them into a contact list building give-away?

Do they give you enough information to make you want to research their value and positively impact on your plans?

Write up a report on what you downloaded, how you see the changes that could result, and IF in any way they impact your plans favourably or not. Will they keep you focused or unfocused on your business goals?

Create two folders. One named junk or worthless offers. Name the other one, Usable freebie offers. Doing this exercise will give you your own swipe file to check the next time one comes out. You will then be able to see if a projected power offer is worth your time. Drag and drop those Hard Drive dust collectors into their appropriate folders.

Many reports and freebies are repackaged year after year and have no more value to you today than they did yesteryear. Avoid them.

When you decide a focused change is needed in something you are doing, then go to the usable freebie folder and choose something appropriate that fits your campaign. Make sure you note when and how you used it. your swipe file on this freebie might even include the mail that encouraged you to grab it. Do NOT plagerize their copy, but use it, in your words, as a grabber to fit your campaign needs.

Whatever you do, do not change your focus for 2008 plans. Use what is fitting to making those plans work for you. The rest is garbage and make sure you recongize it is exactly that - of no use to your current goals.

How Making Money Determines Success or Failure

The Road Less Travelled - or
How Making Money Determines Success or Failure

Go to school, get the best education you can so that you may get a good job, pay your bills, raise your family and be a success. Otherwise you will fail.. The story is old, the methodology worn and the results far from proven exemplary.

The last century raised two generations totally dependent on job security and pensions, neither of which has proven to be the answer to our old age comforts. You spend your life making money. Your success dependent on owning a home, driving a decent car, educating your children, and still having enough to look after the life style you want once you are on your own again. To do otherwise, was considered failure.

Regardless of where you stand in this picture, you are here looking to make more money. In fact, if you are not making money, you either give up or move on to something else that is supposed to make you the income you desire.

What went wrong for you along the way? Most importantly, can it be fixed? Are you really a failure? Is this failure to succeed really your fault, totally?

What went wrong is why you are constantly sucked into business opportunities that just cannot work for you. They all demand you spend money but never teach you how to use money in order to leverage your income into a higher earning bracket - how to make money work for you.

The secret that is no secret? The simple truth is, no one taught you how to use money to make money. You were taught you need money to spend on things. To spend your hard earned money to show the world you were a success by their standards. And if that did not work, Oh well, C'est la vie.

The rich have a different perspective. They do not buy questionable 'assets' like a house and car which do not grow but can devaluate pretty fast. That is how you spend your money. What they do is buy assest that create income from the income they earn. That way the tax man gets the lesser bite.

Their strategy:

Income earned
Invest/buy income producing assets
pay bills.

Our strategy that need to be re-examined:

Income earned
Pay Bills
Buy assets if anything left over to invest.

Can it be fixed? Yes. Will it be easy? Depends on you and your ability to change old habits that lead to failure for ones that give you the security of success and knowing you are choosing the right path - the road less travelled.

When Leadership Changes Do You Quit?

When Leadership Changes Do You Quit?

Good leadership fosters change and the acceptance of change. Good leadership seeks to strengthen the bonds of mutual respect amongst membership with the intent to foster the building of common interests that contribute to the betterment of the whole community.

Keeping this concept in mind, leadership transition, that is one leader moving on, makes room for new ideas and change that will better the end results for the membership. That does not mean that everything they have taught you changes

Leadership change is hard when we become good friends with someone who has mentored us through thick and thin, but quitting is a sign of total disrepect for all that Leader has taught.

The choices we make, taken on emotion, do not do ourselves a positive service, nor do they make the decsion of a leader any easier. Their leadership is still there. They have just changed their capacity in respect to positon.

Your business success is built on your leadership capacity to take what they have taught you amd move it onwards and upwards ready to meet new change.

Quitting is a sign of failure on your part. It shows your weakness of character in continuing a working concept Leaders have worked so hard to teach you. Handling Leadership change is a positive sign of your growth.

In the long run, quitting shows a lack of respect for yourself as well as for the leader who tried so hard to leave you with knowledge that could only build your confidence, business and, most importantly, your character.

Something to think about.
as well.

The Role of Leadership In A Changing Society.

The Role of Leadership In A Changing Society.

Did you know there are organizatons founded on the principle of helping leaders deal with change in their organizations? Foundations such as The Society for Leadership of Change (SLC) help business deal with change management.

One would think leadership roles in a changing society were bound in an individualistic way to serve the needs of off line business. Perhaps originally they were. It is an obvious fact that leadership has and will remain an integral part of business and government since time began and people started to gather into communities. Never more so then now how integrity plays a role in on line business success.

Today, the social and moral ethics of leadership come under the gun and close scrutiny often turns the tables once any form of integrity has been crossed. Offline, it is the newspapers and tv news reporters that will eat you alive. On line, it is your competition in fight or flight mode looking for a stronger more secure piece of an ever changing market share.

They all want YOU! YOU are the prize in these integrity wars.

This is not a moral treatise nor is it a place to drop names for the sake of credibility. What I hope it to be is a way to put together a lot of floating pieces on how personal and moral ethics affect us in the market place, How the role of leadership becomes embroiled in a mix of challenge and attack when it should be challenge and growth for all.

When you deal with what comes in your mail box, when you surf the net and investigate the full blown promises of instant wealth without having to lift a finger, it becomes apparent entrepreneurs are walking into a crisis of confidence in the executive leadership of Internet corporate business.

In far too many cases, the moral integrity of business owners is sadly lacking or is swept to the background, overshadowed by confusing needs of the membership who are expecting to follow in good grace.

When I first came on line, I struggled with what a marketing strategy was. I asked questions and got a lecture on making my own business plans and a lot of talk and gibberish about mission statements but no one could explain to me what a marketing strategy was.

What this mystery did show me was it was all of these things aforementioned with a bit of polishing. What it also showed me was that leadership in so-called coaching and mentorship was lacking in the people I chose at that time to follow.

Let's be fair here. A leader is not born knowing what to do or how to lead you unerringly in to any business direction. It is as much a journey of discovery for them as it is for you.

Add this knowledge into the mix of how fast the Internet is growing, how fast change comes about in dramatic fashion, how technology becomes an intregal factor in business success and you are bound to become easily confused and overwhelmed. The time for checking the ethical background of your leader is not something that comes first, though it should be.

If either of you don't have integrity, if either of you don't practice integrity in all you do, if you do not believe in its power to help you do the right thing and follow those that do live with integrity, then you lose big time.

Irregardless of naysayers who claim integrity stunts your growth, I for one would prefer to go around physically short in stature yet able to stand tall and proud in my business dealings with my business associates.

When you think of the role of strategic leadership in our changing society on line, then due diligence begins to take on a new and more defining meaning.
