Now this man hit a nerve, not just because I actually went without dessert to come and see him, but because he went right to the heart of my problem straight away.
I bet most of you have the same problem..
no plan, no vision, no direction..
I do very well over all with Affiliate marketing, Adsense and My own products, I earn more than I would do in a average job, and (now dont tell my wife this) I work less than I would do in a normal job.
Richard Schefren describes how I can earn twice and much and work even less..
He went through it all very quickly and I can believe him when he says he has ADD, but man he is a genius..
In a hour and a half he made me feel like crying, not from being nasty but by making me realise that I could give myself and my family total freedom if I planned instead of doing.
Mike Filsaime (who spoke yesterday) spoke at the end , Richard has been his mentor for a while, and said that before he entered the mentoring program that Richard offers he was running his business as a “hit and run” enterprise.
How many of us run our business that way?
Build a site get a few sales and move on to the next product, build another site and go through the cycle again.
Richard talked about having a vision.. have a vision.. what do I want to achieve?
“make a living” is not a vision, Most of us can make a “living” easily in a JOB, so if we just want to make a living online then we might as well stay in the JOB.
This hit such a nerve with me it took my breath away, What is my vision?
I don’t honestly know..
That is a scary think to admit to anyone, but admiting it to myself was the hardest thing.
I knew I would learn things at this conference but this one really hit home , I am building a Income when I should be building a business..
So think about yourself, What are you building?
Richard also spoke about effective working time.. He showed some surveys that had figures for ceo’s of Fortune 500 companies and how much time a day they spent building their business.
The figure was 28 minutes a day..
They are at work for 8 or 10 hours a day but they are only building their business for 28 minutes….
I was a bit dubious..
Then when he started mentioning about things that waste time.. forum postings (lets be honest most of which are often rubbish) , talking to your friends on MSN, looking at adsense figures every 10 minutes, checking paypal, checking clickbank, checking emails every 10 minutes..
Well I think 28 minutes is a lot higher than most of us actually achieve..
Richard has made me realise that I need to review my process and make a plan..
What Do I Really Want?
Big house?
Big Car?
Million $ in the bank?
I will be honest.. I dont know what I REALLY want.. yes I would like a bigger house (but not a bigger mortgage), yes I would like to get my wife a nicer car, but do i REALLY WANT them…
Once I decide what I really want then I have a goal..
Once I have a goal all I need to do is get a plan of how to get there…
