Sure your daily duties may give you enough drive to get out of in the morning, but are they taking you where you desire to go? To stay motivated you need to have direction, purpose, and goals in your life.

It has been said by smart men throughout history that success starts as a seed, and that seed is a goal. When you have a aspiration, when you know where you are headed in your life, equitthing you do will have a purpose.

Each 24 hour period will not simply be a wastage of time, but rather an investment of time and effort into your ultimate accomplishments. Staying ambitious is a secret to success, and the top way to do that is to know what you want and to give it as much of your focus as possible.

When you know where you are having, and you feel like you’re making progress, you will be ambitious to continue in that direction. Individuals lose inspiration when they lose sight of their grand reason in life experience.

If you do not know where you are having, will you be ambitious to take another step, and another, and another? Nope. Your are only willing to take steps when the destination is definite. This is the real power of intention setting.

goal setting is the beginning of success and accomplishment because it is the source of drive that drives People to take daily action in the pursuit of what they really desire to achieve in their life experience.

If you do not have intentions written down, this should be your first action.

Without goals, you can never expect to achieve anything worthwhile. And once you do set your intentions, focus on them and give them daily mind power.

People that move from one idea to another never truly accomplish anything great because their energies are scattered. It is top to focus your mind power and your energy on one specific purpose, and the more thought you give to this purpose, the more motivation you will derive from it.

When you know what you desire and you are motivated to go in that direction, everything you do will have a reason and day by day, hour by hour, you will be getting closer and closer to building the life experience that you truly desire.

So you wanna know how to make 1000 bucks right? These are the 2 steps that I was doing to make a living online.

1st step. if you are looking for a magic powder to make you rich overnight, stop doing what you are doing. You won't find magic in internet marketing. I have been in your shoes, I know you have been looking for the best and easiest way to make money online. There are many ways out there where you could make money. But not all of them are perfectly matched with anyone. Some of you speaks perfect English ( I know I don't! :p ). Some of you are risk taker. Some of you are creative. There are lots more characteristic to be mention, which probably takes me the whole day to describe all. This is not the purpose of my post. My intention is to slap you awake! Stop searching for the best eBook out there. You don't have to buy any eBook. Those so called blue prints are totally BS. You could get the methods freely on the Internet. Believe it or not, more than 90% of the eBook or eCourse are the same. Firstly they ask you to research on the Internet, create your website/blog/product, driving traffic, bla bla… None of these course "spoon feed" you to wealth.You'll have to chose 1 method, You'll have to put in your effort. You will have to learn from the beginning.

You should consider yourself lucky today, there are lots of method available on the Internet freely, The second step to make money online is to take ACTION! I heard ya, you said you are not good at Internet marketing. Guess what,me neither. Everyone have to make their first step. Without the first step, you will reach no where my friend. You will need to select only 1, or 2 at most for a start. May it be CPA, Adsense, Affiliate Marketing, etc etc etc. Stick to it. Put in your effort for 2 at least quarter. Analyze the websites,fine tuning them,driving more traffics, etc… For those who haven't earn a penny online, you'll have to do more, you'll have to make mistakes! You read it right, make mistakes. Mistakes is an opportunity for us to improve ourselves. Let's say you are doing PPC, you screwed up PPC. Analyze what was going wrong back there, so that the same mistakes won't happen next time.

Summarize up. To make money online, you will have to stop gathering information and actually take action. Put in your effort into building the sites. Keep the momentum. Don't stop until you are satisfy with the results. Once your project take off, there is no way to stop the money flowing in.

Whiners are irritating and energy-sucking. And if you drill deep inside, it’s really not their fault, it’s because they don’t have fear inside them to overcome their problems. That’s why they whine.

In my opinion, fearful thought is a disease!  It comes largely from distorted mental habits. You see, our mind is consistently dwelling upon thoughts of doubt, failure, and inefficiency - that’s just how our brain functions. And this leads to many kinds of fear like fear of poverty, darkness, ridicule, microbes, insomnia, dogs, lightning, burglars, cold, solitude, marriage, Friday, lawyers, death, thirteen, accident, and ghosts and most importantly for our discussion, fear of failure.

At the same time, it’s not wrong that one should fear, however, when it’s not being acknowledged, it weakens the personal character.

Here’s an interesting research…

Thousands of people when asked can say truthfully, “I have all my life feared things that never happened.”

It means that, WHATEVER YOU HAVE FEARED COULD BE JUST AN ILLUSION.

Indecision is another frequent cause of the fear. People hesitate to take a step one way or the other for fear that they might do the wrong thing, and this spirit of irresolution and hesitation often leads them into the very mistakes they would avoid. It’s like a man on a bicycle, endeavoring to steer clear of an obstruction on the road, but all the while keeping his eye fastened upon it so that a collision is inevitable.  There is nothing more disastrous to success than lack of purpose. If you give an impression that you are afraid, you will elbowed aside and imposed upon at almost every turn.

Personal experience:

I was in a casino last week and I was playing Baccarat. And if you have played before, you would know that it has nothing to do with skill. After start playing for a while, I’ve started losing my bet and a negative thought caught my mind - I lost confidence and fear of losing again. And you can guess what happened, I lost all of my chips after that. How did that happened? How did I end up playing on the wrong bet all of the time after that? It’s unexplainable, it’s what I meant by ‘attraction’.

When you have fear inside you, it frequently attracts what you don’t want.

How to overcome fear?

Well, be fearless. Develop self confidence in yourself.

The development of self-confidence begins with your own intelligent self-examination. The mind must be closely scrutinized, undesirable tendencies checked; faults eradicated, and correct habits of thought and conduct firmly established.

Sounds complex right? In a nutshell, you have to be strong in your mind to pull this off.

And good news is, confidence breeds confidence! The building of self-confidence is not difficult, but it requires patience and intelligent effort. There should be no straining, no anxiety, and no haste. Get it going and your self-confident will naturally ‘grows’.

We shouldn’t apologize to ourselves (of course unless you’ve done something really wrong). We should be too big for that little habit of making excuses.  Depreciation of yourself, self-pity and so on, never won a single battle of life. It has, on the contrary, killed ambition, weakened the will, and incapacitated thousands of men for noble work. That is why I hate whiners so much.

Suppose you put these practical questions to yourself: Does negative thinking pay? 

Is it desirable for me to encourage thoughts in my mind that break down, hinder, and incapacitate me for good work? 

Do I want negative thoughts that inevitably bring discontent and unhappiness?

Your answer will be, of course, that you don’t want them. But such thoughts work insidiously, and will find an entrance into your mind if you’re not extremely vigilant. The surest way to keep them out, however, is to fill the mind completely with vital positive thoughts, to think constantly of yourself as a person of unlimited possibilities, growing daily in mental and spiritual power AND STOP WHINING why your life is not the way you want it to be.

Realize that no weak-hearted, intermittent efforts will achieve your desired purpose. Hold in your mind the supreme assurance that you can and will achieve this indispensable power, and your reward for your energy and perseverance will be great!

I guess the title of the post was a little misleading as you’ll find out as you read, but it’s meant to get your attention! Â This post might change how a lot of people think about affiliate marketing, and even work in general!

I know a few people who are making BIG money with affiliate marketing, but working hours upon hours to get there. Â Do you think it’s worth it? Â Ask almost any of these big affiliate money makers how many hours they put in to their “business” and if they don’t tell you 24/7 it’s usually really not to far away from just that. Â I think that’s why after awhile a lot of marketers end up moving on to bigger and better projects. Â Like Uber with Ubercamp, and Amit Mehta with ppc classroom.

If you love affiliate marketing then it’s no problem. Â However in mine and a lot of other people’s cases, we may like it a lot, but we just don’t LOVE IT. Â I honestly hope I never have to put that much time in to my business and probably never will. Â My goal in life isn’t to see how much money I can have, it’s to have a good life while trying to get money out of the entire equation. Â If any of you have read books like “Four Hour Work Week” you’ll begin to understand exactly what I’m talking about.

It’s called the “New Rich”. Â The New Rich, aren’t the people with the big bucks (however it can be if you play your cards right). Â It’s the people who are able to make enough money to have an incredible life while working hardly any hours to get there. Â The “incredible life” part comes mostly from the fact that you aren’t spending all your time working. Â This gives you much more time to do the things you really want to do like traveling and hanging out with family/friends.

Of course I’m not saying working that many hours is bad if you really, truly love what you do.  Except if you’re like me, you’d rather be doing a whole list of other things before sitting on the computer for up to 12 hours a day like some people do.

P.S. not sure why my last couple posts have had so much to do with The Four Hour Work Week, but I guess that style of life is something I really believe in!

Normally I don’t read or advocate blogs like this (as most WickedFire members would agree), but this post off of Super Affiliate Mindset caught my eye: Persistence in Affiliate Marketing

It basically just makes the point that the only way you are going to make money is by doing. Until you get your ass to work and start trying you’ll never make any money online what so ever.

A few months back I took Marketing seriously and decided to start DOING. That’s when everything took off and now I’m at the point where i’ll be registering my first business within the next couple of weeks so I’m very excited. All it takes is motivation. So stop reading blogs like mine, or ebooks, or anything else and just go out and start your first campaign!!!!!

I’ll even throw myself out on the line so if you have any questions or just need someone to bust your ass just let me know.

Later,
Nick

Many people suffer from some sort of shyness. They may fear that their actions will be scrutinized by others, and as a result, they have difficulty facing certain people or specific situations.

However, shyness is a condition that can fairly easily be overcome. In this article, we will look at a few techniques that can help you get rid of your shyness:

1. Try self-affirmation. Every day, as soon as you get out of bed, stand in front of a mirror and say, “I feel great! I feel fantastic!” This technique may seem a little silly at first, but it really helps: after a while, your mind starts to believe what it has repeatedly heard.

2. Make sure that you always look your best. There are no fancy tricks involved here, you just have to follow a few common-sense principles. For example, regularly take a shower, get a haircut, and put on a nice, high-quality suit. Also, make sure that your shoes are always polished! Knowing that you look good will help you build your self-esteem.

3. Acknowledge your shyness. There is nothing wrong with telling other people that you are a little shy –in fact, this can be a wonderful way to break the ice! If people know that you are shy, they will take that fact into account when they interact with you. They will appreciate your honesty, and when they are talking to you, they will understand that you’re not impolite or uninterested when, in fact, you’re only being shy…

4. Constantly try to improve yourself. Take up a new hobby and acquire new skills, and you may discover that your “worth” has increased –both in your own eyes and in the eyes of others. For example, you could learn a new language to improve your mind, or you could start working out to improve your body. Whatever initiative you take, people will admire you, not only for the results you will achieve, but also for the simple fact that you had the courage to set a step in the right direction!

5. Learn how to deal with rejection. No matter how hard you try, there will always be a few people that won’t like or accept you. As the song says, “You can’t please everyone, so you’ve got to please yourself.” Once you have accepted this fact, you will discover that it does not have to be the end of the world if a person doesn’t like you.

To a very large extent, shyness is “all in the mind” –once you start to behave with confidence, you are, in effect, no longer shy!

Do you have any dream killers in your life? Dream killers are those people who discourage you when you are trying to change your life. It’s amazing how many people tell their friends and family that they cannot succeed. This is especially true when you are trying to do something “outside of the box” like making money online or starting your own business.

The main argument these dream killers have is that your goals are unrealistic. They will advise you to be more “practical”, and pretend they are offering you sound advice.

Many of them believe they are doing a favor by discouraging you. They think they are helping you live a life in “your best interest”. But really, they are encouraging you to a live a life without vision.

If you are really motivated toward success, doing anything less than your ambitious goals will be unfulfilling for you. You end up wondering what could have been. You continue to live your life for other people, instead of yourself.

Your friends and family who discourage you from trying something new are only giving you insight into what they would do in your position. They do not have the vision and the drive that you do. They are only reacting out of their own fear.

Other people take the path of least resistance, but that does not mean that you have to. Your goals are important to you for a reason. You will only be happy when you achieve them. Giving up on your goals because other people think they are unrealistic is no way to live your life.

How to you overcome the dream killers in your life?

You may want to start with choosing who you spend your time with. If you want to be self-motivated, you’ve got to spend time with other people who are self-motivated. The same goes for the other aspects of success.

If the dream killers in your life are close relatives, and long time friends, try keeping your business goals to yourself for a while until you get going. By the time you’ve had a little success, they will probably be a lot more supportive.

Finally, the best way to overcome the dream killers in your life is to be confident in yourself and your goals. If you are truly confident in yourself and your ideas, then no one can stop you.

Keep your goals and dreams in front of you all the time. They will be your motivation, when some of your “well-meaning friend” try to discourage you.

Don’t let anyone steal YOUR DREAM!
