Do you want to build unlimited wealth for yourself and others and change the world to be a better place in the process? That’s what empowered entrepreneurs want to do and that’s exactly what they do every day. Today I’m going to tell you two of the biggest secrets to becoming an empowered entrepreneur, having unlimited wealth and freedom, time for family and your passions, and the power to help and change the world. These secrets are simple, so simple people tend to ignore them and forget them. Only the MOST successful people know them and practice them daily.
One of my favorite authors is Marc Allen, who wrote The Greatest Secret of All. He said, “We are far greater than we think we are. Our potential is vast. Most of us have just barely begun to realize who we are and what we are capable of.” You see my friends, empowerment starts with the knowledge of the infinite power within each of us, within you and within me. Magical things can happen when you follow the infinite power within you. For empowered entrepreneurs it seems that people, situations and events seem to come into their paths when they are needed. They are able to manifest success increasingly more easily and faster than before.
We are born connected to that source of power, but as we grow as children most of us are conditioned to believe that we are separate, limited and weak. This knowledge is the first secret of empowered entrepreneurs. As our beliefs are changed we lose our constant connection to our inner power and function from this limited belief system we were taught. Our lives are therefore shaped and formed by these limited beliefs, emotions and insecurities.
What about you? What are your beliefs? Are they keeping you from connecting with your inner power? You need to do some introspection. You must identify any beliefs you hold and evaluate them. Take charge and control your life. Change any beliefs which do not give you strength and take you toward your goals. The book I just mentioned presents the finest exercise I’ve encountered to help you do just that. It’s called “The Core Belief Process” and I’ll be writing and speaking more about that soon.
Empowered entrepreneurs see challenges as opportunities. They see the greater potential of learning the new. They never pause for fear and never stop for self-doubt. Can you do this? Empowered entrepreneurs face challenges which require them to learn new skills, overcome fears, and figure out new systems. Unless you’ve taken control and changed your limited belief system, they could severely limit your success when these challenges arise. Changing limited beliefs is a big step toward connecting with your inner power and becoming an empowered entrepreneur.
So are you ready to begin the journey into empowerment as an entrepreneur? Are you ready to live in the NOW and connect to your inner power and strength? Are you willing to question and even change your beliefs? This is a tough industry. Only the strongest survive and thrive. Only leaders make money in this industry. I want you to be a success. I want you to connect with their inner power and become passionate about life.
Whether you’re in Mona Vie or Wealth Masters, online marketing gives you tremendous personal freedom and time to get things done in your life. But as the old axiom goes, with great freedom comes great responsibility! And that just cannot be more appropriate than for us online marketers and online entrepreneurs, whether you are involved in direct sales or network marketing. I don’t know about you, but at my house it can be a rat race just keeping the house going, let alone the house, the business, and all the family and social commitments we all like to enjoy. With all of those distractions vying for my attention, sometimes it’s hard to remember what comes first. For me, I’ve set aside most of the day for work. I try to be flexible with it, but I try to accomplish a specific set of tasks which I call my Daily Routine. This is not a full-blown time management approach, just a way for me to keep track of what I need to do. I hope you can benefit from the same approach.
As I said, my Daily Routine is not set in stone, but I try to work it in general sequence, and I can easily track what I’ve accomplished and what else remains to be done. I built my Daily Routine around the Online Marketing work I do. Your work may require a different set of tasks, but I think you’ll be able to infer what I’ve done below to your own situation. Since I’m better with my creative tasks in the morning, I organized writing and video tasks in the morning, and implementation, communications and training tasks in the afternoon. Here’s my Daily Routine:
Morning Activities
Always make calls to all new leads and applicants as they come in.
Attend product webinars/conference calls.
Determine marketing topic for day.
Write article on that topic.
Immediately video tape a version of the article.
Deploy marketing article to web.
Afternoon Activities
Attend product webinars/conference calls.
Always make calls to all new leads and applicants as they come in.
Complete the marketing deployment activities remaining from this morning.
Conduct daily Social Networking monitoring, communication and management (friend adds/deletes).
Any other calls to team, leads and applicants.
Training – read, listen, or view, etc. (minimum 2 hours).
Set tomorrow’s training objectives.
So what about you? Do you have certain times of the day when your mind is more productive, or that you’re more creative? Or maybe your tasks would be better organized around function instead of times of day. If you frequently find yourself with too little day and too much unfinished work, then I recommend that you consider defining a Daily Routine. You’ll be glad you did.
Abstract: Online Marketing gives you personal freedom, but with that freedom comes the responsibility to make sure you get your work done. If you frequently find yourself with too little day and too much unfinished work, then I recommend that you consider defining a Daily Routine. You’ll be glad you did.
When I set out to write this article I intended to write about the importance of never quitting, because the top 3 percent, the truly successful Online Marketers and Entrepreneurs NEVER QUIT. But as I thought about it I realized that never quitting is a side-effect of a mindset which is much more fundamental to success. To be successful you can never quit, but what can support you and empower you to continue in the face of severe distraction or even failure? That’s when I remembered Jean Schlipmann and I realized that I needed to write about passion.
You see, Jean is one of the most profoundly successful and committed persons I’ve ever met. Jean is an entrepreneur, but cut from a different cloth. She’s not an online marketer, rather she is the founder and executive director who drives the James A. Schlipmann Melanoma Cancer Foundation, named after her late husband Jim who lost his battle with melanoma. Jean is truly a leader who has drawn the entire melanoma community together and has brought national attention and focused research dollars to curing this devastating disease. I met Jean in Texas two years ago and could sense how committed and driven she was. That commitment came from losing a young spouse to a horrible disease and vowing with all her life energy that she would stop this disease in her lifetime.
I asked Jean what she thought it really takes to be successful. She said, “It takes passion. You’ve got to find your passion and let it drive everything you do. If you don’t have passion, you’ll never get through the tough times running an organization.” And I could sense her passion pulsing through the conversation. It was energy, a dynamic and positive force I could literally feel. Do I even need to tell you how critical, how essential, and how absolutely necessary it is for you to find your passion and use it in your business? Can you imagine how powerful it will be in driving you and your business to success?
Quite simply, passion and commitment are at the top of the list of what it takes to be a successful Online Marketer and Entrepreneur. It’s what truly separates the “wanna bees” from the top 3 percent of leaders in this industry! With this kind of passion, can you see why successful top 3 percent leaders never quit? It’s outside their realms of imagination! Only persistence, carry-through, and success are on their minds.
What’s your mindset? Are you ready to be passionate about what you do? Are you ready to join the top 3 percent of the Online Marketers and Entrepreneurs in this industry? Reach deep inside, what motivates you to work 7 days a week, 16 hours a day? What is it you can commit yourself to that is worth that much energy? What is it that you’ll do or bust a seam trying until it works? That’s where your passion lies my friend. I wish you the very best of success. Go find your passion!
