“Minding” Your “Business” The Right Way

Something came across Barry’s desk this morning, that he passed along to me. It kind of makes us shake our heads and wonder what some teachers are thinking.

It was an email promoting an upcoming weekend seminar called “Turning Passion Into Profit” where five mentors are promising to teach you how to run a hugely successful business in ANY economy… by using your mind energy (your attitudes, beliefs, and so forth).

Okay, look… I admire people’s ability to marry inner-world and outer-world teachings. Like we always say, you need to have a bit of both to be a bigger success in whatever you do.

But in the spirit of one of our previous posts, Wealth is NOT an Inside Job, I have to tell you… your mindset is not the most important part of creating a successful business during a recession (or, from a real-world financial perspective, a very possible near-term future depression)…

Are You a Visionary or a Fraud?

They say we should all teach what we need to know, rather than just what we already know.

And, like everything “they say”, it can be empowering or detrimental, to yourself and others, depending on how literally you take it.

For instance… the concept of “acting as if”, or “fake it till you make it” can be very powerful. If you “be” what you want, and “do” what it takes to get there, you can “have” whatever it is that much quicker.

This be-do-have principle says that if you want to be a singer, you tell the world you’re a singer, and then you sing your little butt off as you practice every day, and then you become a talented singer who can carry a tune across the country and back, smiling every step of the way as you entertain everyone you meet.

And from a journalistic perspective, it also makes perfect sense. If you enjoy investigating and learning what you need to know, and then passing those gems of knowledge on to others by publishing or producing something they can benefit from, you’re empowering yourself and your audience.

For instance, I’ve been writing a lot of parenting articles lately, as you can see from my portfolio. But I’m not claiming to be a parenting expert… I’ve only been a parent for 10 months! What I am claiming to be is a writer who is passionate about researching and discovering new things that can help me on this parenting journey, and sharing that treasure with others in the same boat.

Yes, it’s “teaching”… but I’m not really the “teacher”.

Turning Dreams Into Reality

10 years ago, I met and interviewed a woman for the first of several times…

Her name is Diane Dupuy, and she’s an amazing example of forging through life, no matter what roadblocks stand in the way, and turning seemingly impossible dreams into reality.

Not just her own dreams… but those of people who would normally never be given a chance.

So what do they do? Make their own opportunities.

Read Diane’s story in our latest Hidden Heroes post on the LWL Worldwide blog

Business Outside the Box… or Book

This is something I didn’t even think about until I started researching this article assignment… but building an online business isn’t the only way to sell products and services in this economy. People are making good money creating books of memories for others.

It’s not really leveraging your time, but it is possible to charge a pretty penny for these services. And if you’re gonna trade time for money, you might as well make some good money!

My article is on eHow to get you started:

How To Bust Loose From the Business Game

If you’ve been hanging around me for a few years, you might remember when I interviewed Robert Scheinfeld, and he talked about The Human Game — the reason we’re here on this planet — in ways you had likely never heard things said before.

And then he told you how you could start “busting loose” from the Money Game.

At the time, he completely flipped around a lot of the preconceived ideas I had about manifestation and how we create our personal realities.

Well, now he’s got a new book out called “Busting Loose From The Business Game” that promises to help you achieve radical results in your business life.

See, if you’re an entrepreneur or business person, or you’ve been working in any capacity, you’ve been playing what Robert calls “The Old Business Game”.

Just like a lot of “old ways” of doing things, that’s a losing way to play.

Robert’s new book is about finally winning, by playing “The New Business Game”.

> It’s rooted in metaphysics… likely on a different level than you’ve experienced before.

> It will shift your paradigm and your beliefs about what’s possible.

> It will help you out if you’re currently struggling.

> It will guide you do better if you’re currently doing okay.

> It will allow you have more fun if you’re currently doing well.

Basically, however you’re experiencing the Business Game now will become a much better journey after you read Robert’s book.

And if you buy the book this week only, you’ll get some extra tools from Robert that will support and guide you even more as you approach this New Business Game, and start playing to win.

Get your copy of Busting Loose From the Business Game, your “Busting Loose Fast Start Toolkit”, and more by reading Robert’s message here.

P.S. If you didn’t get your free report from us about passive income yet, you’re about to discover even more that goes way beyond what you’ve been taught before… and why the “new way” of approaching wealth building is the way to go.

This one’s about the physical, rather than the metaphysical, side of the equation.  Don’t you love how they go so well together?

Banish Fear, Anxiety and Worry!

Let’s face it…

You can’t face the future until you control your fears, and that’s the NUMBER ONE problem most entrepreneurs have that holds them back from the success they deserve.

Fear of not growing. Fear of missing out. Fear of failure. And yes, even the seemingly silly (yet ever-so-present) fear of success! (And that’s really a fear of the unknown, or a fear of things not staying the same… a fear of leaving the comfort zone.)

Now, IF you struggle with fear, anxiety, panic, or worry, Barry and I found a site that will really help you out. Banish your fears by clicking here.

Whether it be passing fears that force you not to act, or full-blown panic attacks, this site has some valuable advice (at least sign up for the free e-course. I just read the first lesson and the tips are something you can use for the rest of your life!)

Most of us do have fears on some level that we deal with on a daily basis.

I remember when I was afraid to act on stage. I loved the camera, but live audiences were another story. Then I was fine with acting, because I could play a character, but I couldn’t give a speech or talk about myself.  My voice would quiver, my hands would sweat, my heart would thump, and my face would flush.

Then I went to Toastmasters for two years, got the highest award level possible (the Distinguished Toastmaster, or DTM), and overcame those fears too.

Then it was a fear of doing my first live teleseminar (which I obviously did anyhow, and many more to follow). And a fear of speaking in front of other internet marketers, in case they knew more than I did (but I overcame that one too).

So fears are normal, but if they hold you back, you need to face them and overcome them…

I Was Hacked… Or Wormed?

So we all hear about hackers and viruses and worms that do all kinds of crazy things with our computers, websites and email accounts… but that only happens to other people, right?

Well, this weekend it happened to me.

Saturday morning I woke up to discover that someone or something had sent out a spam email through my Gmail account, to 100 people in my address book ranging from S to Z.

Since my Gmail is set to default to my LWL Worldwide email address, then everybody got an email from me on my professional business address.

Yeah, real professional!

So after doing my best to do damage control with the poor people who received the obnoxious spam, I set out trying to find out who — or what — exactly caused it to happen, and how to prevent it from happening again…

Butterfly Reports Taking Off…

Yesterday, Mike Filsaime and Rod Beckwith launched a website they’ve been working on for almost a year, called Butterfly Reports.

It’s still in beta, but I see a ton of potential for this site really taking off (pun intended… butterfly, taking off…)

In fact, this can create a whole metamorphosis for your online business! (Okay, I’ll stop with the puns now, I promise… well, for now, at least!)

The really cool thing about Butterfly Reports is it’s free — but so what, right? What do you GET for free?

Well, you get the opportunity to download money-making viral reports branded with your affiliate links, in a bunch of different niches, to give out to your subscribers or use to build a list.

Yes, that’s right… build a list AND make money at the same time.

Then you also have a chance to write your own reports that other people will brand and give out to 21 Quick Tipstheir subscribers, getting you traffic and sales as a result.

So it’s win-win all around, and pretty innovative — sure, you can find branded reports elsewhere, or write them, or have them written… but this is a one-stop free shop! Nothing to lose, just to gain.

Here’s an example of a report I branded… it’s called 21 Quick Tips for Self Improvement by Dan Gonzalez (download by right-clicking the link).

To get your own like this… and more, check out Butterfly Reports while it’s still in beta to get the most benefit.

Keep Unwrapping your Success!
