I am going to show you how to set up a simple model that almost guarantees success… Quick, immediate, short term profits and long term profits. If you truly understand this model and its implications – And most importantly – You WORK this model…

It can be an easy 6 figure a year business. True.

Here’s how it works. Most people sell information products, which have the least intrinsic FACE value of any type of product you can sell.

That’s why they are usually sold with extremely clever marketing, great sales copy and a lot of trial and error before success is achieved.

That sucks for someone starting out or if you don’t possess (yet) great marketing skills. The key word here is FACE value. On their own, info products have almost no face value.

On the other hand, you know what has great face value? That can be sold with mediocre, or even poor marketing? And can still make you very wealthy?

Services. Because people GET something tangible, DONE FOR THEM, when the transaction is finished. There is inherent value in the offer itself, therefore it can make up for poor marketing.

Now the downside is service-based businesses do not bring in automated profits. You stop working, it stops working.

So what’s a great solution… That is easy to sell as if it were a “service based” offer… But still have the ability to be completely automated, bring in passive income and also be easy to scale?

The solution is “done for you” type of offers. This is where some, most or all of the initial front end work is done for the consumer… Making it EASIER for them to get the results they desired since you’ve already brought them many steps closer to achieve those results… Than if they bought a digital product.

Now let’s talk specifics. In Internet marketing, there are things that hold a lot of people back – Setting up websites, generating content, coming up with ideas that will ACTUALLY sell, finding the correct niche markets and so forth.

You can educate people on these things… Which is good… or you can automate and do these things for them… Which is better from a profits perspective.

Let’s inch even closer to the truth. In Internet marketing, it’s no secret that you can make money (if you do it right) with affiliate marketing. Even better,  review sites that get ranked high in the search engines for certain keyword terms can be a gold mine.

For example, a lot of people are searching for a term like “best anti-aging cream”. That’s a start. Drop that in your favorite keyword tool. If you don’t have one, use Google Keyword External Tool to start to do some research.

We’re looking for keyword terms that have little to no competition that have a decent search volume.

So I type the keyword phrase above in Google Keyword External Tool and start to do some digging. Here’s some interesting things I find. A lot of people have been searching for wrinkle creme – which is spelled wrong.

Further digging allows me to discover “wrinkle creme review” has little actual competition in the search engines, but decent search volume. “best over the counter wrinkle cream” also falls under that category. I know with a little bit of work I could get good rankings for both of those search terms.

That’s fine, but we’re not doing it for our own purposes. Here’s what we’re going to do instead… Do the initial ground work to get it going, but sell the site to other people.

Here’s the concept: we want to find 5 keyword terms that have high search volumes (over 2,000 searches a month) with low competition in Google (under 30,000 competitors when you search for the term in quotes).

Next – We take each term we find in quotes and write an article for it… Or we outsource the article writing to someone. Whatever. When we’re done, we have 5 articles optimized for different terms under the niche of wrinkle cream.

Now you set up that review site in WordPress with the 5 keyword articles in it. Optimize it as you would normally for a site you’d try to get ranked… As far as on page optimization goes. If you don’t know anything about SEO then there are hundreds of guides that can give you the gist very quickly.

What we do now is pick 3-5 wrinkle creams that have good affiliate programs that would seem to convert well from a “review site” style blog. Then we add those in to the blog in locations that we feel would best monetize those affiliate offers.

What’s next? Get an article spinner that’s decent quality and spin each of those 5 articles so that each article has 20 UNIQUE spins. Or you can pay someone to spin them for you. Whatever.

What you have got, when you are finished, is 20 “review sites in a box” that are each uniquely targeted at a niche that could make some money if you got some rankings in the search. You’ve already picked out the affiliate programs. You’ve already done the research. Picked the niche. Designed the site.

We’re almost done. What you do now is create a little pitch page offering your 20 review sites. You sell the set for $97. As a bonus you give them training (either stuff you create or private label rights to SEO guides) that shows them how to get it ranked high.

Then you explain why at $97 it’s such a good investment compared to all the value they get in return (which is significantly greater).

BONUS – You offer an upsell where you set the site up for them and host it for them for a nominal monthly fee. (You can make a lot of money doing this… You just take your own hosting account and partition packages off within it…)

Where can you sell these at? Warrior Forum is a great place. You can also start trying to attract joint venture partners and affiliates to sell them for you. Sitepoint. Even Flippa.com.

When you’re done, you’ve grossed close to $1900 in sales… without an upsell. Is that good or bad? Depends. If it took you a week, and after all other costs you made $1700, that might be good. Might not. That’s not the point.

The point is now you have a leveragable asset. There are two ways you can easily multiply your profits. If you sold out the first 20 real fast, here’s what you do – Make 20 more spins for each article, and then sell it again.

Or, you just set up ANOTHER review site in a box for another niche… And then sell that. You can sell more copies this time, or sell it at higher prices. You now have a list of buyers from the previous offer, so you can more easily sell your next package, as they will be your most targeted buyers.

Say you do this 5 or 10 times, now you have a lot of assets. You can then take it to the next level and start a membership site – Where each month the person gets access to two “review sites in a box” for just $47.

Then you can sell 250 spots a month, and spin 50 articles for each that they can pick and choose from, and you can have extensive SEO training in there (just interview others and put the content in the members area) and you can outsource the whole thing.

You can – On the backend – Upsell setting up the sites for them (again, outsource it at a profit) and discover all kinds of other monetization streams because your members will be asking for additional things… Which you can create packages, trainings, and additional offers for that you know are highly likely to sell.

Gee, sounds like a bit of work upfront, doesn’t it? Yep, it is. But that’s probably no more work than most people do in a 40 hour a week job that pays them only $7.50 an hour. And the reason why it’s so profitable to do this work is because most people WON’T do this work. That’s why they’ll pay you do it for them.

And this is the model where you can “do it for them” but on a one to many level, so you can make it a passive, scalable income stream.

I hope you see both the forest and the trees here. You can literally swipe the business model I’ve given you above and execute it.

Or you can use it to think deeper. “What similar ‘done for you’ type offers can I make that would be easy for me to create and have a large chance of succeeding right out of the gate?”

There you go – A simple model that… While it is front end intensive – Can very quickly be made scalable, outsourced, and easily taken to a six figure a year model once you have lain down the groundwork.

7:29 am on the 30th of June my daughter,
Laney Elizabeth Fladlien, was born. She
weighed 8 pounds and 1/2 ounce, and was
19 3/4 inches.

And look at that full set of hair!

Everything went great – no complications at
all – and I can’t tell you how wonderful it
was…

I know, we had hundreds of people emailing
me saying it would be wonderful, and I thought
yeah, I’m sure it will be great and all… but
maybe they were exaggerating as to how great
it would be.

They weren’t exaggerating. If anything – they
were understating it!

I’ve been at the hospital since yesterday at
4 am, and this is the first time I’ve been
home… I snuck out real quick tonight to
write this blog post and teach a quick webinar
class… lol – then I’ll be right back there.

We’ve literally done nothing but sit and hold
Laney and stare at her – awestruck at such
a wonderful little miracle. It’s great.

It makes you reflect on life — a little over
18 months ago my 8 year old brother Ryan
passed away. I lost a loved one. Today I gained
one.

Life sure does have its ups and downs, doesn’t
it? Isn’t the circle of life amazing? It makes
me think that if life is tough for you right
now… HANG IN THERE… it might get better.
And if you take an active hand in MAKING
it better, chances are it WILL be better.

Or if life is great right now…  it can still
get EVEN BETTER! And if you take an
active hand in MAKING it better,
chances are it WILL be better.

My life before the 30th was great – I’ve
accomplished several major life goals
I’ve had at an early age and I usually
wake up excited to start the day and go
to bed happy with the day… life was
REALLY, REALLY good for me.

Then Laney came. Now it’s EVEN BETTER!
Can you believe that?

It just goes to show you how many truly
wonderful things are out there for you
and can come to you in the near future -
regardless of whether it’s a new baby,
a new love, a new financial opportunity,
or whatever.

People seem to forget that, don’t they? We
hear so many complainers! But if you focus
on wonderful things – like if you’ve ever
seen the birth of your own child – and you
really focused on wonderful things LIKE
THAT – it’d be hard to complain about anything,
wouldn’t it?

Think of how much more resourceful that can
make you! And being more resourceful means
you can handle ALL situations in your life
better… being a better parent… being
a better child… being better financially…
mentally… spiritually…

I’m excited to see what wonderful things
Laney will do… TRUST me, you’ll hear
about them from me (LOL!)… and I am
also excited when I hear a client of mine
share a success story with me.

THAT, my friends, is LIFE. And I Love it!
Thank you to each and everyone of you for
being part of MY LIFE, and for letting me
be a part of yours!

We’ll be in at 5 AM – wow that’s early – and that
baby should be here at around 8 AM central time.
I can’t wait!

I have just finished writing a book and it’s getting
approved on Amazon here in the next day or two called
“The 6 Life Lessons I’ll Teach My Newborn Daughter”
so look out for that – I’ll let you know when
it’s available on Amazon.com

It’s a great book and it’s wonderful that Internet
marketing has taught me the skills to create such
a wonderful gift to give to my girlfriend and also
to the baby!

Other than that, you might have noticed some new things…
like I completely updated this blog! I’ve been getting
really big into WordPress lately, and I will have a new
training out shortly as well called “Egghead Blogger”
where I show you cool things like:  How to add a widget
to any part of your wordpress theme, How to make your
own WordPress sales letter themes, review themes
and all kinds of crazy, amazing stuff you can do
with WordPress with almost no technical know-how!

In the meantime, you should sign up and get my 32
reports, as you see on the right. You can even
brand them with your own affiliate links if you
sign up to my affiliate program. Details are inside
once you get the free reports.

In addition, if  you’re in the copyeclass (wow we
have a lot of members in there, the class is kicking!)
don’t worry, the call on Thursday will go as planned.

It will probably be the first real business related
thing I do after the baby is born, so that should
be a fun, exciting class.

Other than that – life is good. No scratch that – life
is great. 2010 will indeed be my best year yet on
this planet Earth. And it can be yours as well.

I urge you to make that commitment. To really get
the most out of this year as you can. And then BETTER
it next year, because you will have all the experiences
of this year to INVEST in the next one.

Cool!

It was a VERY small apartment.

I didn’t pay rent, my dad took care of it. But that also meant he
took care of the utilities. In the summer on the second floor
in Iowa, with the temperature at 98 degrees, and the humidity
at 120% (how does that even happen?), it gets really, really
hot.

My dad refused to ever let the air-conditioner run. EVER.

I think about that now as I sit here in my home office.
My home office has a walk in closet. It has a bathroom
attached that is pretty impressively tiled. It has
TWO sinks in it. It has a remote control for the lights
and the fan. My desk is huge and wouldn’t even fit into
my room in the apartment I lived in with my dad.

And the central air is on. I’m loving every second of it.
When I had my home built, we made it 5 star energy efficient
and even though it’s a big house (4 bedrooms, 3 baths)
it costs almost nothing to cool it. And it’s so quiet
you can’t hear it.

I tell you this for one reason – it’s amazing how far you
can come in three short years.

I spoke at Dennis Becker’s seminar last week. The hotel room
I stayed in was bigger than the first apartment I moved into
after I moved out of my dad’s apartment.

At that seminar, Tim Castleman – who I did a promotion with…
PAID me in front of everyone… my commission.

$4800 – in one dollar bills. Nice touch. If Tim sends me the photo I’ll
add it to this post.

It was incredible to see that many one dollar bills. All for
less than 2 hours of work. It amazes even me how quickly
someone can attract wealth with a little bit of sweat
equity, a little bit of building, and a whole lot of focus.

It’s amazing how far you can come in three short years.

I write this to you now as I expect my daughter, Laney
Elizabeth Fladlien, to be born at the end of June… the 29th
is what the hospital told us. We’ll see.

Three years from now I’ll have a daughter who’s just turning
three. I wonder where I’ll be at… where she’ll be at…
where our family will be at… in three short years.

Where will you be at?

It’s something to think about. It’s something to have a clear
vision on. I have mine. We’ll see if it comes to be.

But what about you? We do high end coaching programs, and the
first thing we do is make our students do is write out their goal
of what they want to get out of the training.

The sad thing is, most students FORGET their goal as soon
as they write it down.

They don’t think about it every day first thing when they
wake up in the morning. Or LAST thing before they go to
bed.

Or several times over and over again throughout the day.
If they did, their behavior would change to automatically
attract them toward that goal. Really.

I remember when I first moved out of my dad’s apartment and
into this little 350 square foot apartment where my office,
bedroom AND living room was all ONE room.

It WAS a step up. I had just started writing articles for
marketers and was making some good money at the time, for
the first time ever in my life.

But I knew that was just a transition that would help me
get closer to my vision.

Everyday between 2, 4 or even 6 hour non-stop marathon writing
sessions, I’d need a break. I’d often grab my running shoes
and go out for a jog.

Each time I would run by this new house for sale. It was
brand new, a very nice home and pretty “expensive”. I’d say
to myself every time I ran past it “I’m going to own a home
just like this in less than 2 years”.

Now, I had no business saying that. It was not rational.
It was not reasonable. But one of the ways to get dramatic
growth in your business is to have UNREASONABLE expectations.

I write world class sales letters in 1 hour or less because
I am UNREASONABLE about how long it should take.

I create membership sites in 6 minutes or less because I
am UNREASONABLE about how long it should take.

And because of that vision, I find a way to MAKE IT WORK.

I didn’t buy that house I ran by every day within two years.
I bought a BETTER one.

So very few people in this game want it bad enough. It’s there.
You can have it. But you have to want it bad enough. Bad
enough to learn how to discipline yourself to WRITE for hours
on end… if that’s a skill required.

Bad enough to write a sales letter EVERY SINGLE DAY… if
that’s a skill required.

Bad enough to contact complete strangers who are experts, and
ask them for an interview… and then contact them again later
and ask them for a promotion… if you want to succeed.

That takes guts. It’s scary. But it’s less scary than letting 3 years go
by… and being in the same position you are in today. Or being
in a worse position.

I want to know something from you – do  you want it bad enough?
I bet most of you reading this don’t. If you did, you’d wake
up in the middle of the night compelled to take action. If you
did, you’d sacrifice your favorite television program to work
an extra half hour.

If you did you’d do the things you know you need to do that
currently you are AFRAID to do to get what you want.

3 years from now can we sit down at a table and exchange stories?
And wow each other with the wonderful journeys we’ve been on,
experiences we’ve had, growth we’ve achieved, goals we’ve
reached?

I sure hope so. I’ll be sitting at that table. I hope you will
pull up a chair and join me.

What a difference ten weeks, some dedication and good instruction
make. Yep, the fat body on the left was me ten weeks back when I
started my new training program.

This made me think about Internet marketing. So many people want
immediate results. It made me think – what is immediate? To me, ten
weeks was pretty immediate for my transformation in fitness.

And it was only 45 minutes a day, six days a week of training. And
THAT motivated me to eat better. So if you start doing one thing right
in marketing, that will motivate you to do other things right. Example
- if you have a good product already done, you’re much more likely to
go after getting traffic with some tenacity.

The second thing is how easy it is to “lose” what you have. A year and
a half ago I was in excellent shape. Then I let it slip. I see the
same thing happening in marketing. People will get some good results,
and then get lazy… and pretty soon they have nothing. They might’ve
been on the path to writing 3 articles a day… and did it for 30
days. Then they gave up… when if they would’ve kept at it for the whole
year…

Who knows what results they would’ve achieved?

The other thing is consistency. I’m doing a copywriting class right
now, and the main theme I tell them over and over again – just write
sales letters. Lots of them. 2-3 a week at least. Do that, and follow
the SYSTEM I show you and you’ll be a damn good copywriter.

And that’s the next point – SYSTEM. With the fitness program I did, we
did certain things at certain times on certain days. It was a routine.
You need a marketing routine. Here’s mine – 3 hours a day.

3 hours a day means that there are 3 uninterrupted hours I spend
working on what I think is MOST important in my business at the time
that I should do it that day. Then the rest of the work day can be spent
on “secondary” tasks that also need to be finished.

What’s your routine?

When it comes to consuming information and training, here’s another
routine. Never spend more time studying than doing. If I bought a
course on membership sites… for every 1 hour I spent studying the
materials I’d immediately follow up with 1 hour of action.

For those who have attended some of my 3 hour “webinar marathon”
sessions, that’d mean AT LEAST 3 hours of action to follow up with it.

Routine. Consistency. Re-evaluation of “immediate”. Habituation. Those
four things can make all the difference.

I spoke at Jeff Mill’s event this weekend (Jeff Mill’s puts on an
EXCELLENT good event… I was grateful to be a part of it!) and a few
people came up to me and said “Jason, I NEED to make this work…”

I’d say: “stop right there. Don’t say another word. Don’t say need…
Say: What can I do to make this work?” Here’s why that’s important.
Need will force you to NEED instant results. NEED will force you to be
inconsistent as you ping-pong from one thing to another, getting more
desperate by the day.

NEED is the enemy of routine because the noise in your head created
from the NEED is too distracting. NEED is the wrong approach.

I wanted to get more healthy because I knew it’d make me feel better.
Live longer. Get more done. Give me a greater sense of self worth. And
so on.

So I made it a priority to make it happen. Because I knew I could do
it once I put my mind to it. And the same is true with your online
success. You can do it once you put your mind to it.

The questions are simple: “What can I do to provide FAR more value
than whatever I’m compensated for that value?”
“What must I do day in and day out to move toward providing that value?”
“What routines am I currently following that are preventing me from
providing that value, and what routines must I replace them with to
make providing that value possible?”

Then do it. And the results will actually be more “immediate” than
they ever have been before for you.

I was chatting on skype with my good friend
Marlon Sanders this morning on skype. In
addition to being the king of step by step
marketing, he’s also probably the sharpest
mind I know for coming up with “Big
ideas”.

He gave me one this morning about a topic
I believe is so powerful, that it could
be the next “made to stick” or “tipping point”
or a Seth Godin style hardcover biz pop
book.

If you know me, you know I have an “implementation
fetish”. As soon as I hear a good idea, I have
to act on it since I’ve conditioned myself
to do so.

This new book is on a very clever, hypnotic
way to get attention. I’ve actually been
using it a LOT lately and have seen a healthy
increase in sales, and also in face to face
communication outside of the business
world.

Anyway, here’s where you come in. I want to
include a lot of anecdotal stories to support
the different principles in my book about
getting attention.

The book is going to be interrupting people’s
natural patterns.

See, one of the flaws of the human mind is
our incredible ability to generalize stimuli.

Something happens to us once or twice – and
then we pretty much generalize is as an
inevitable outcome.

For example, a lot of people will set a big
goal… work at it for maybe a week (or less!)
and then it won’t work.

And then they often conclude either that
goal setting doesn’t work, or at least it doesn’t
work for them.

A had a client recently who told me that.
You know what my response was? “Yep, you’re right,
you’re absolutely horrible at setting goals. I don’t
think you could set a goal you could ever reach.
Ever. In fact, if you set a goal to be a miserable
failure, you’d probably fail at that, too!”

And guess what? They went on to argue with me
that they COULD set a goal and achieve it if they
went about it in the right way.

So I said “what would it take for you to start
out the RIGHT WAY this time?” And they proceeded
to tell me exactly what they needed to do differently.

At the end of the call the person thought I was
a genius. Can you believe I get paid $250 for this
stuff?

Awesome.

Back on tangent: what I did was interrupt their
pattern. Almost everybody else they would talk to
would say, “Goal setting does work. You just aren’t
going about it right. Blah blah blah”… and that’s
not as effective because they are so USED to hearing
that it doesn’t jar them, doesn’t challenge their
model of reality and doesn’t get them to THINK in
a different frame.

So here’s what I want from you – please post a response
with a time when you did something completely out
of the ordinary to help someone get a different result
or a different response.

It doesn’t have to be just business – it could be with
your children, a college at work, or even when you were
in school writing a paper.

Whatever.

It could even be an ad you saw. I just read an old
ad this morning with the headline “lingerie for men…”

Tell me that is NOT impossible to read on. That’s a
great way to interrupt someone’s normal pattern of how
they look at advertising – because it totally shocks
their system!

Anyway, if you have a great idea or story you’d like
to share with me, reply to this blog post and share it.

If I like it and want to use it, I’ll contact you
for permission. If I do use it, I will make sure to
give you credit in the book.

I’m excited about this! Looking forward to your input!

It wasn’t much mind you – about 350 square feet – a garage
converted into an efficiency apartment.  But it was a start.

The first day I moved in there,  I decided to sit down and
write my goals.

The first one was that I’d do $100,000 in the next 12 months.
I accomplished that.

The second one was that I’d own my home in the next 18 months.
I accomplished that.

Another was my “give back” goal to donate a certain amount
of my time/wealth to noble causes.
I accomplished that.

My last goal was my role model goal. At the time, there was
a guy I listened to that had a more positive impact on my
life than anyone else. His motivational trainings got me
through so many hard times…

And I listened to them so often… I could literally repeat
them word for word.

My goal was to meet and have a conversation with him in
the next 2 years. That man was Jim Rohn.

On December 5th Jim Rohn passed away.

I’d like to honor the man by sharing some of the wisdom and
experiences I had while listening to him.

The FIRST TIME

I remember when I first heard him speak. I had just got
bitten by the “self help” bug and someone loaned me a ton
of self help audio programs. I loaded them into my iPod.
At the time, I was running a music record label by night
and managing a retail flooring warehouse by day. In the
warehouse, I had my iPod on while I worked and listened
to those self help programs.

Most sucked. But then one popped on – a motivational speech
given to a group of network marketers.

Who the hell was this guy? I thought I knew who the greats were,
guys like Zig Ziglar, Brian Tracey & Tony Robbins. Who was
this?

I looked at the iPod – it said Jim Rohn.

Even though I was broke at the time, on lunch break I went home
and ordered his “Take Charge Of Your Life” audio training course,
which I still listen to this day.

Teachings Of The Great Man

Jim is speaking, and is sharing a story from the Bible, which
he calls “a story from antiquity”. It’s about two nice guys…
one builds his house on a strong foundation, the other on sand.

The one on sand doesn’t last. Two nice guys. Both do-gooders. Both
have “good karma”. But the guy who built his house on the sand
lost it.

You have to do more than be nice and know that if you do good,
then good things will happen to you. To think otherwise – as Jim
Rohn put it – is naive.

The Story Of Cookie

On one of his programs, Jim talks about how – in order to be a
more effective communicator – he spends a day or two on the
“other side”.

He spends a day down in a seedy place in San Diego, CA called
the “Tenderloin”. There he talks to this bartender named Frank.

Frank says, “You see that woman over there? That’s Cookie. How
old do you think she is?”

Jim Rohn guesses 45… Frank tells her she’s 25… and that she
used to be a dancer back in the go-go days. Then she developed
some sort of bone disease and she can no longer dance and is crippled.

And she has a son who is 5 and is dying of leukemia. To try to
cheer herself up a few times a week she comes down to this bar
in the Tenderloin… plays a little music… usually drinks too
much… and Frank has to call a cab to take her home.

Jim concludes this story by saying “Why did her life turn out like
that, and mine turn out like it did? How is it that I get to travel
the world, yet Cookie has trouble even getting home?”

Affected By Two Things…

Jim Rohn says, “You’re affected by two things. What you know and
how you feel about what you know.” This really helped me both as
an information consumer and as an information producer.

See I could give you the best training in the world. But if you
felt nervous, unsure, scared or uncomfortable acting on it, then
that will affect the value of the information.

So the lesson is twofold. First create products that remove as much
of those “uncertainties” as possible, so your clients will get results
(that’s one of the big “secrets” of how I’ve created such high
value training programs…)

And the other is to learn how to FEEL really good about learning
new things. That’s why I made it a point to study and use NLP and self-hypnosis, so I could feel good about acting on new ideas.

Two Pains

Jim Rohn says we all experience one of two pains in life:  the pain
of discipline and the pain of regret. The pain of discipline weighs
ounces, but the pain of regret weighs tons.

This is something I always think about when things get hard, and
I want to quit early, put something off until later, procrastinate,
or when I’m about to finish up a big project.

It’s easy to put things off. But if you make it a habit, what would
you life end up being? You’d regret so many things. That pain is
worse than the “pain of discipline” to finish up the task at hand
and give it your best, so you have no regrets.

Profits Are Better Than Wages

Jim Rohn says wages make you a living but profits make  a fortune.
Most people earn wages which is good enough to get a pair of shoes,
a piece of bread and a place to get out of the rain.

But those who wish to enjoy the higher pleasures of life, work for
profits, not wages. That means they create and utilize enterprises.
It means teaching your children to have two bicycles. One to ride
and one to rent out.

See it doesn’t take long to start making profits. A bit of ingenuity
and you’re on your way.

The Magic Of Part-Time

And you can start making profits part time. And best of all, you
can start today. You can begin telling people “I’m working full
time on my job to earn wages, but I’m working part time on my
profits to earn my fortune! And it won’t be long until I’ll be
working full time on my fortune…”

That’s how I started – working part time on my profits with
ghostwriting, and full time painting houses to earn my wages.
Within a short period of time, I no longer had to work for
wages to earn a living… but could work FULL TIME for profits
to earn a fortune!

Profits are better than wages.  Wages make you a living but
profits make you a fortune! I teach kids to have two bicycles:
one to ride, one to rent. How long does it take to start making
a profit? A bit of ingenuity and you’re on your way.

Perfect.  Jim Rohn said it best, “Work harder on yourself than
you do on your job.”

Wishing

Jim Rohn says, “Don’t wish it was easier; wish you were
better. Don’t wish for less problems; wish for more skills.”

The key takeaway Jim Rohn gave me was that you can’t “pursue”
success. That’s like trying to change the order of the seasons.

Instead, you must ATTRACT success, by becoming an attractive
person. People who “pursue” success wish things were easier.

People who attract success decide to get BETTER instead of
wasting their time wishing it was easier.

People who try to pursue success wish there were less problems
and challenges to obtain it. People who attract success wish
for more skill to handle those problems and challenges, more
wisdom to turn opportunity into wealth.

Or as Jim Rohn says, “To get more, you have to become more.”

FAILURE

Jim Rohn says failure is often not some single, cataclysmic event…
But a few small errors in judgment repeated every day.

This always has rung true for me. Some people make a small error

in judgment when they almost finish something but “put it off until tomorrow…” They make it a habit, and repeat it every day. No
wonder they can’t make progress!

Some people decide to spend their limited free time watching DVDs
and playing video games. And they do this every day. But what if
they spent some of that time reading more books? As Jim Rohn
said, “The book you miss can’t help!” And as he also said, “Formal
education will make you a living; self-education will make you a
fortune!” And he also said, “Miss a meal if you have to, but don’t
miss a book!”

What if these people instead spent some of that time improving
themselves and their skills? That could be the whole difference!

One of the things I did after listening to Jim Rohn say this is
write down a list of “small errors in judgment” I was repeating
every day. And then I worked on each one to improve it or reverse
it.

SUCCESS

Jim Rohn says, Success is doing seemingly “ordinary things” extraordinarily
well.” It’s not that I’m a naturally gifted and great writer. It’s that I
sit down and write EVERY SINGLE DAY. That’s the secret.

It’s not that I have some incredible, deep insights and some sort of genius
that makes me create great products for the marketplace. It’s just
that I create a lot of products, one after the other. I’m good at
creating ordinary products extraordinarily well.

I’m good at acting on good ideas immediately. I’m good at reducing complex
tasks down to simple systems. These are really just ordinary things that
I’ve learned to do – through discipline – extraordinarily well.

Or as Jim Rohn says another way, “Success is nothing more than a few
simple disciplines, practiced every day.”

Dedicated To Jim Rohn

I’d like to close this by expressing my thanks to the man who has had
one of the biggest impacts on my life – Jim Rohn. You have been a blessing
on this world and it has become a better place because of you.

And the way you’d close most of programs now rings truer in my heart
than ever.

You’d often finish a program by saying, “I go with you in all the experience
that we’ve had. But I promise you this as we leave here,  I will not leave
you behind. I’ll take you with me in my thoughts and in my heart.”

You’re right Jim. Even in passing you are still here with all of us
you have positively helped.

Thank You.

And he was so scared he didn’t get his license until his was 21 years old.

Flash forward to now and little Jason Fladlien is confident – he can even look a maitre de square in the eyes without blinking

He travels the country, speaks to hundreds of people at a time and he’s constantly trying out new things without fear of failure.

What changed? What was the one key thing that transformed this introverted, shy nerd into somebody so confident in their ability to manifest wealth out of thin air, who can act on a good idea without “paralysis by analysis” because he’s learned to trust intuition and instinct?

If you’re asking yourself that question – you’re asking the wrong question.

There NEVER is ONE key thing.

Here’s something interesting I’ve noticed over my journey from broke house painter to “top 3% Income Earner” in the United States…

When I studied sales techniques – I didn’t really “get them” until about 6 months later. Sure, there was one or two things that gave me some immediate benefit. But it wasn’t until about 6 months later did most of what I study and practice become almost second nature.

The same was true when I started using NLP. At first it was hard and tedious… then things I hadn’t even looked for many months I could do almost effortlessly.

Same was true with sales copy – when I first started, I couldn’t finish an ad in a week. Even though I had studied the masters… had read over 5000+ pages of copywriting instruction… handwritten out ads for hours… copied, one by one, one thousand bullet points onto 3 by 5 notecards.

Only after about 6 months could I really use the stuff effortlessly. Now I can write sales letters in my head, and create a sales letter full of world class bullet points in seconds.

See the secret is this: I didn’t do ONE thing to overcome my “disadvantages”. I did everything I could… used every resource I had. Continued to use them – because I didn’t expect any of them to work hardly at all when I first applied them…

But I knew if I could stick with them for 6 months – then they’d become “a part” of me.

Now here’s the neat thing: when you master one of the skills to make yourself stronger… you accelerate complimentary skills. It didn’t take me 6 months to learn how to sell from the stage. Since I had already cultivated the talent of writing good sales copy… It took me days… not weeks… not years.

Days.

Now I can master most anything I want in business in 17 days or less. Because I paid my dues.

Since I’ve experienced a decent amount of success in Internet marketing, I’ve made many friends over the years. I can probably count 15 close marketing friends I talk with at least once a month. Each earns over six figures a year.

Everywhere I look around me I see wealth. It seems to me everyone is getting rich because I hang with the right crowds. Think of what that does to your mind state.

But here’s what else is interesting about these high achievers – everyone of them has a similar story to mine. Each had to overcome several “mental” limitations such as shyness, fear, anxiety, a poor mental image, etc.

And they all did. Because they wanted it bad enough.

What’s the moral to this story today? It’s this: I don’t care what you have going against you… I don’t care what has previously happened to you in your attempts to meet your monetary goals with Internet marketing… I don’t care what challenges you have facing you in the coming months ahead…

I do know that everything you’ve done up until this point can be used as experience, knowledge and power to get you to the next level.

And I do know that your dogged determination to make it happen will fuel you to do the things TODAY that will pay off in spades 6 months from now. Then that’s another skill you have in your tool bag. Do that with just a handful of skills… and you’ll be able to achieve your goals.
