3 months of 2010

Hello again!

Let’s see…in a blink of an eye, January, February and March is finally over. I dare say, that was quick!

I was just reading a report on “The Power of Concentration” forwarded by Mike Litman and it mentioned that it would be good to evaluate your progress on a monthly basis… even better still at the end of your normal day by asking the basic question “How have I spent my time today in the most efficient/meaningful way?”

Looking back at some of my goals this year, I am slowly practicing everything that I preached… my four most important pillars are (in no particular order):

1. Relationships (with my gal,family,friends,associates)

2. Spiritual growth (my God)

3. Mental/Self Development (reading the appropriate books)

4. Physical (exercise!, I got a trainer to help me train)

In the years of growing up, I knew that getting a coach/guide/trainer/mentor is important. In fact, my very first mentor is my dad.

However, I realized that in different areas of my life and entrepreneurial journey, I knew that I needed a business coach and for my personal physical growth, a health/nutrition coach to show me the path.

Two years ago, I embarked on this journey to be an entrepreneur and I sought after a business coach who trained me over the year. As a result, I have learned quite a few tricks of the trade and have more clarity in what I do. To me, this is the best shortcut to reduce potential mistakes.

Today, I talked to my physical trainer and he walked me through the steps, reps and other details that I needed to know to get started. However, much of what I do physically would however be heavily based on my effort to work it out. By golly, when I tried doing several sit ups on that large rubber ball, it was terribly hard!

I also did a few barbell reps and while I was lifting some of the weights, I was trembling… the trainer said, it’s a sign of weakness but that’s okay. I will be able to overcome it after awhile since I have to get use to lifting weights. Control was the word.

Likewise in the business world, there will be initial signs of weakness, fear and trembling as in the mental and emotional state of mind. It can be scary to be an entrepreneur because as you test marketing campaigns and fail so it can be a tricky process! I have had many of those moments. I’m still learning and growing.

Going back to the gym today, I was given a few “assignments” and “workouts” to do. The ones shown to me were easy, simple and enough to get me started. I was not overwhelmed and it looked like fun. (I’ve always had the notion that lifting weights was hard until I knew what to do.)

In the internet marketing world, this is not the case. When I first started, I didn’t know where to start, where to go and what to look for, that was why I got a coach. I did eventually become overwhelmed but in a good way because there were many things to learn and I had to learn it all in a short span of time.

There is so much information out there with the latest and greatest tricks to do things but I think the way I have overcome information overload is to pick one marketing strategy that I like doing and get it down to work. The one I love most and use the most is video marketing. I’ll share more on this soon. (I’m re-scheduling my days since I am now on a different diet regime and work out schedule.)

By the way, if you haven’t started a blog or posted anything, I suggest that you do. I started this blog in July of 2009 by posting almost on a daily basis. I slowed down a little but hey, it’s better than nothing. I’ve owned another blog, which is more personal and I started that in 2004. So technically I have about 5-6 years of blogging experience and it’s fun but usually time consuming.

More great tips to come. Talk soon!

An Updated Opt In Box

It seems like there are some “updated” opt in box that other marketers are using recently, it looks pretty good in my opinion and I bet it converts. I might just go ahead and test it out. This is one example below:

Anyways, I’m a little tied down again but I’m preparing a series of courses down the road to be launched in the middle of this year. It’ll be good. I might test the waters at the Warrior Forum again.
