Just read & learned this from Rich ...


I just read this from Rich's email and I think this is great for personal development,
read it also & maybe you can also apply it on your own :-) chow, hehe, need to
apply them also on myself:

  Read first his message then his article below:

 Hey (your name here), 

Your next five issues may be the most important you'll read all year. 

Because I'm going into reruns! 

All kidding aside, I've gotten tons of feedback about the newsletters we've produced this past year. Since it's kind of a slow time of year, I thought I'd share a handful of the most popular with you. 

Sort of a "best of" collection to help launch you into the new year. 

I pulled them out of the archives for a couple reasons. First, because I believe reviewing good tips is always helpful in your personal and business growth. 

But more importantly, I chose these because I hope they'll inspire you to dive in and really take charge of your life and your business in 2012. To overcome the obstacles holding you back and get yourself on the path to real achievement. 

One that was especially well received, was an issue I published back on October 7th that was part of a series on self-confidence. 

A lot of people are bothered by self-confidence issues. Those issues can range from little nagging doubts to full blown "inner game" issues. 

A lack of confidence can cripple your ability to move forward and achieve 

So I outlined three specific, simple ways to give your self-confidence a kick start. 

Hope you enjoy it...
 

To higher profits and beyond, 

Rich

"Keeping Score" and Other 
Confidence Boosting Techniques
By Rich Schefren 

The first technique I'm going to tell you about is extremely powerful. But it takes a little persistence and work. 

I want you to start what's called a "Victory Journal." If you're already keeping a journal, you don't need a separate one. Maybe put these entries in a separate color ink or different color font or note them with a highlighter so that you can spot them easily. 

What do you write in your victory journal? Quite a bit. 
  • Any time you have done something well (not perfectly - in fact, if you're prone to procrastination, you may want to note any progress you've made on any project you've been procrastinating on)...
  • Any time you've done something for the first time...
  • Any time you've stepped outside your comfort zone...

Anytime you do any of these you should record it and congratulate yourself for it in your journal. The longer you do that, the more confidence you will build because you're constantly reminding yourself that you actually are better than you're giving yourself credit for. 

Now you could add to those entries by going back in time and recalling certain times and places where you've had specific successes in the past. It doesn't matter whether it's related to business or not. They could have to do with education; your career, family, hobbies and sports; learning new things - whatever. 

Write them in your journal. 

Listing out successes so that you can quickly review them from time to time is a really powerful thing. That's because most of us experience many more successes than we can call to our mind at any given moment. And when you're feeling like a failure, you usually can't recall any past successes. So if we collect these stories about our triumphs, they can be extremely powerful as concrete reminders of what we're truly capable of doing. 

Now what else can you do? 
Rewrite History 

Another place you can start working to build self-confidence is with your memories. 

There are memories that you carry around with you like emotional baggage. You pick them up and lug them with you everywhere you go. These are usually memories from your past when things didn't go right; when problems happened, etc. And you keep dragging them around like a ton of bricks for no other reason than you never thought the fact through that they really don't serve you. 

Realize that your memory is not really designed to take accurate depictions of the past. That's not what the human memory is for. You have the ability to go back in time and "reframe" what past incidents really meant. You can consciously decide they didn't mean whatever you originally assigned to them. Whatever meaning that's now preventing you, blocking you, hurting your confidence in yourself. 

One of the most basic examples is reframing a failure as a learning opportunity (assuming, of course, you took some positive feedback away from it.) If you were late for an appointment, it might have been because you were helping a friend who needed you at the moment. There can always be a positive associated with a negative. 

So basically, reframing past misses is a powerful way of kind of clearing out the baggage. 
Take the Action You'd Prefer Not To 

Remember in your last issue where I wrote Action = Competence = Confidence

Taking action and making it a habit is the last technique I want to share. This one is not easy but it's very powerful. Make it a habit to do something each day that you would prefer not to do. 

It might be picking up the phone and having that difficult conversation with someone. It might be taking an action inside your business that you've been putting off. It might be shutting off the internet or television for an hour or two a day while you focus on doing something important. 

Whatever it is, it should be something that - left to your own devices - you probably wouldn't do. 
A Word For Those Of You 
Who Have Plenty Of Confidence 

My biggest concern is that there might be some of you listening right now who think that you're not affected by a lack of self-confidence. That this conversation doesn't apply to you. I am positive that it does. 

The reason I am positive, is because a lack of confidence affects everybody in different ways. Every successful entrepreneur has had to overcome these feelings and self-doubts. It's not as if you succeed at something once and suddenly they all go away. In fact, for some entrepreneurs, success can be just as dangerous. They taste some small amount of success then get so scared of losing it that they shift from confident to a lack of confidence. 

So that's the thought on self-confidence. I truly believe it would of great value to every one of you to think about this. Really start to explore deep-down your level of confidence in your ability to succeed in the business you're growing - the goals you're pursuing. 

Understand that any twinges of doubt are costing you more than you realize. They're costing you in terms of your performance. They're costing you in your ability to get others to believe in you and work with you and help you succeed. They cost you in your willingness to jump in and get things done. They cost you in so many ways. 

Now you have two important things going for you. 

First you understand the costs associated with a lack of self-confidence. And second you have the tools you need to counteract them and boost your self-confidence. 

Focus on the three exercises I've given you: 1) Starting to record your victories (and even going back and writing down some of your past victories); 2) Reframing any memories in the past you think may really be dragging you down and 3) Stepping outside your comfort zone on a daily basis. 

Do those and I promise you'll start to see an increase in your self-confidence - and an improvement in your life - more quickly than you thought possible.

Need Exposure of Your Website/Blog? "Widgets" Can Help :-)

What is a widget?

 

Widgets are little "programs" that can be installed on websites or a computer's desktop.
There are widgets that do all kinds of things and you probably already have them on your
desktop right now. 

There are widgets that tell you the time, show the current weather forecast, display
streaming stock quotes, etc, etc. 

In the case of adzly, the "widgets" you will be creating and placing online are far simpler.
The adzly widget is simply a little "box" that fetches ads from the adzly network and
displays them on your website. You can choose either a vertical ad widget or a
horizontal ad widget depending on where you are going to place it. If you want the
ads in a sidebar, then choose the vertical one ... and if you are going to place the
widget in the main body of your website (where your content is), then the horizontal
option would likely be best.

You have probably seen ad widgets before because there are dozens of ad networks
that provide these same kind of ad widgets for their publishers to use. One of the
largest would be Google with their adwords/adsense program. More than likely you
have seen the "ads by google" box on many websites ... well, this is an ad widget
and this is what you are going to be creating with adzly

Now, before you get concerned that this is a really "techy" process and that you won't be
able to do it ... let us explain (and show you) how easy it is to create your adzly widgets
and put them on your websites. 

And if you're feeling a little scared about the whole process, well don't be ... you you
can't break anything in here, so don't worry about that. Just dive in and give it a go ... 
it will make a lot more sense once you have done it a couple times. 

Simply follow the steps and choose your options ... we will create your widget and
immediately give you a simple little piece of code (javascript) that you can easily insert
into your website in just a couple minutes. In fact, you can easily create a widget and
have it running on your website in less than 5 minutes once you get the hang of it ... it
really is that easy. get yours here

Like to see one in action? Look at my widget on the right side of my blog. :-)

Why Most People Fail

... by Franco Gonzalez
I love & learned from this article & I hope you will too :-)
Happy Networking
Quick but important marketing tip:
Most people fail to get any results
with their “marketing” because they
are constantly focused only on their
selfish desperate “needs” and they
just pitch, hustle and spam people.
They don’t even attempt to add value.
They don’t even attempt to share wisdom,
concepts or strategies that can help others…
They don’t even attempt to serve.
It’s all about “Quick join me join me join me!”
“Oh hurry and join me! We have the
“best team” and this is going to the moon, etc etc
and “timing is everything” you have to get in first…”
Garbage.
And it attracts pure garbage.
Garbage in…
Garbage out…
What’s missing in most people’s “marketing”
is VALUE + SERVICE.
What are you offering another entrepreneur
that is going to ADD VALUE to their life now?
Why should they even pay attention to you?
Most people that desperately pitch and hustle
and spam people at every opportunity do it
PRECISELY because they DO NOT BELIEVE
IN VALUE or SERVICE.
They just want the fast $$$ now.
So the only thing they tend to attract
(if anything) is a little pile of other people
who thing similar thoughts.
And with “that type” of people, is it any wonder
they each begin to program hop immediately
and all they focus on is spamming each other
the “next best cycler?”
These are the types of people that are
always angry about other people’s success.
They are the most cynical.
They are the most negative.
Because they are void of understanding
how value really works and they don’t really
give a rip about people… they just want
bodies in their comp plans…
Don’t take my word for it…
Just look around.
It’s easy to spot.
And usually they are never in any sort
of profit momentum…
Usually they are always desperately
chasing the next dollar.
After over 10 years full time doing
and teaching this kind of marketing,
you grow to have absolutely no time
or need to even dive into this topic or
entertain it…
But sometimes you have to come back to
basics and teach people the fundamentals
of SUCCESS in this industry and also
(and even more importantly)
You have to come back and teach about
what behaviors and mindsets lead so many
people in this industry to straight FAILURE
and program hopping aimlessly.
Focus on VALUE.
Focus on SERVICE.
Ask yourself this:
“What is it that I am looking for in a program,
in a sponsor, in a team and in my training?”
And jot down your answers.
Then go find it and/or CREATE IT for your
own prospects.
Create that which you are looking for.
And others will show up too.
Good quality people will see that you’re
focused on VALUE and SERVICE and
GIVING people something they can use
to improve their business and life.
The cynics and program gamers???
Oh they will hate that and bash and criticize
as usual… but listen…
That’s all they ever do.
That’s all they have always done in life…
That’s exactly why they are in the
little lives that they are stuck in right now…
They will continue to blame everything
and everyone else.
IGNORE THEM.
Focus on SERVING your market.
Provide VALUE to your own market in
your own way.
Questions on how to do that?
You can look around and find truly
influential people online in your niche
and model HOW they think and HOW
they do what they do.
Study success.
Now, if you just go around and study
and “model” other program hoppers
and biz op gamers… then you’ll only
learn how to hop around like they do.
Find real business people that have
been around for a while and have built
sustainable models that keep them full
time without the drama.
And you’ll find your clues…
99% of new and existing people in this
arena are constantly in search for better
information, systems and training.

Give it to them.
And you’ll fill your programs and teams
with good people.
It takes an entrepreneur’s MINDSET
to succeed in the world of FREE ENTERPRISE.
A sexy, hyped up comp plan is not your
solution… never has been.
MORE MIND = MORE RESULTS.
Happy marketing,
Franco Gonzalez
P.S. If what you do and how you do it
is truly focused on serving people and
being a resource of value to a market…
You need make no apologies for running
a successful and sustainable business.
Win by leading.
Lead by winning.
Let others pick up their marbles
and go home crying… they should
have been providing more value
and building more trust and not
just pitching, hustling and spamming…
:0)
