Yes you’ve just been revealed the biggest secret of making money online.

Focus + Visualize = Goals + Prioritize = Productive + Take Action = Make Money

That’s basically it, seems pretty straight forward huh?  Well that’s because it is!  Like they say though, easier said than done.  Which is why 95% …or is it 99% now? …well either way, “90 something” fail to make money online.  Why? Because they don’t do the tasks like the ones I showed you above, so they just give up like its too hard or impossible or just isn’t for them. Well any of those thinking processes will never get you anywhere anyways, but if you change your mindset, and start taking those “little steps” seriously, you will then start to see some serious cash.

Believe me when I first got into the make money online field, I couldn’t get focused.  I was listening to this guru, that guru, another guru, every guru and got information overload and didn’t take action.

I wasn’t able to pick a project and stay focused and finish it.  I would read an e-book or take some information from someone and try and put that information to use to make money for myself online.

Some of them had great information in them and I could make money from the information and I would start that project.  The problem was that I would never finish a project.  I wasn’t focusing and I wasn’t being productive.  I was still twiddling my thumbs, doing this, reading that, and then getting that next big idea that was going to make millions!  And then getting half way there and moving on to the next big hype or whatever it was that showed up in my inbox that guaranteed a six or seven figure income.

I was always searching for something better.  I was always looking for the next big thing.  I was looking for something that didn’t exist.

I was looking for something that didn’t require hardly any work and was going to make me a millionaire overnight.

There is no product that is going to do this for you!

I had the information in my hands to make a hefty living online.  I just wasn’t using it.  I wasn’t staying focused on a project long enough to see any returns.

I was lied to, like most people who get into the make money online hype.  We are told by people who want to sell their products to us, that we will make a million dollars overnight and don’t have to do much work.

Guess what, you won’t make that kind of money overnight and it does take some work.  What you should do is pick out some projects and finish them.

Once you start finishing your projects, whatever they may be, creating a product, building a website, writing sale copy etc. The money will start coming in. But before you even start these projects, you need to have a plan.  Im sure if you’ve been online for awhile you’ve heard Jimmy D Browns famous quote, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail”, well that my friend could not be any closer to the truth.

They always say that the toughest dollar to make online is the first one. But is it the first “dollar” that you should really be focusing on?  Are you focusing on money, quick cash, and $50,000 in the bank right now!!??  Or are you focusing on planning to build a business?   Which is more important to you?  Is it that $50,000 in the bank right here right now, or is it a long term business plan that will earn you $50,000 over and over and over again?  First decide which is more important, and then go from there.  And if you’re thinking what I’m thinking, which is obviously the system that will bring you long term residual income, then you need to set up a business plan to get you there.  This business plan doesn’t have to be something you take to the bank, no no..In fact it can be something as simple as;

1. I want to start building a list.

2. I want to create an e-book on about (whatever your niche is).

3. I want to build a blog. I want to post once a day, etc. etc. etc.

Once you focus and narrow your sights on what it is exactly that you want for your business, and then you will start to see and function more productively.  Or at least you will have been given the opportunity to, so I would highly recommend taking action on whatever it is that you want for yourself (your business).

Remember, you’re doing this not for the money, but for the lifestyle you want to live.  Your dream you want to achieve.  So focus on those personal goals as well, and figure out what you need to do to obtain those results.

For example, you want to marry your girlfriend and you need $2,000 to buy her the ring you know she’ll just love.  Well, plan this.  When do you want to propose?  3 months from now?  O.K.  So you need $2,000 in 3 months.   How are planning to make money online? Be an expert in your field.  Is it list building? O.k. then, they say each subscriber is worth $1, so if one subscriber is worth one dollar then you need 2,000 subscribers to make $2,000.  So if you built a list of 2,000 subscribers in 3 months, would you be able to buy that ring?

O.k. now I pulled that scenario out of thin air, lol..But it does get you thinking, and that’s what you really need to be doing.  Think, and write it down!  Write down your thoughts, make a plan, and take action.  Don’t worry about getting it right, just it going!  Launch now, think later! lol…Seriously though, the hardest part is the first step.  It’s like a baby learning how to walk.  That first step is the hardest, it’s the most anticipated, fearful, yet exciting step!  And once you take that first step, it just flows.  Just like the money will.

So I know it’s scary.  But in order to succeed you just have to get out of your comfort zone.  Stop doing what you’re doing because whatever you’re doing, if you’re not making money from it, then how’s it working for ya?  It’s not!  So do what you have to do now to start making money tomorrow!

It gets easier because once you have made some money online, you have broken down that first very important barrier down, and it gets a lot easier.

You realize that you really can make money online and your confidence soars!  You can just keep on doing what you were doing to make more money. Rinse and repeat. Work harder and expand your business.  Repeat what you’re doing to make money and just keep expanding on that process and keep working on ways to improve your business.

Focus and hard work is going to get you along ways in life.  Using focus and hard work to make money online is two major keys to success and don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise.

Now I know I have touched on actually a few very important subjects.  I plan to really get in to the nitty gritty of all of them, whether it be time management, creating goals, building a business, choosing a niche, etc. etc…Basically all the tools you will need to make money online!!  There’s a lot of cover, but don’t let me fool you. Because it’s really quite simple.  Not easy.  Because it does take work, and some of this work may be easy for you and some of it you may have to learn, but in the end of things, it really is simple once you have someone to learn from and help you along the way.  That’s what I plan to be here for.

In fact, I am taking a vigorous, but breathtaking course, about making money online. And who better to learn from, and to have as a mentor than someone who’s been there done that and does it over and over again? Well I am talking about Alex Jeffrey’s.  Alex Jeffrey’s has become a household name at the Filan household I must admit.  He’s become a very very inspiring and soon life changing part of my life.  I have learnt a lot from Alex, not only from being a student of his, but just type in the name “Alex Jeffrey’s” in Google and see for yourself what comes up.

Alex Jeffrey’s is my personal mentor, whose mentor was Mike Filsaime before me, whose mentor was Rich Schefren before him!  So I’m pretty proud to be apart of a long history of some of the most successful internet marketers in existence and I plan to contribute as much in the lives of others as they have too many.

I guess you can call this the “pilot” of my blogging storyline.  So stay tuned because there is so much more to come!! Learn with me and succeed with me as I learn and reveal the secrets to success…and failures!  It’s true, you learn from your failures, so fail fast!  And behind all those mistakes, is a true pot of gold. Because mistakes mean you’ve been taking action, and the only way you’re going to succeed is by doing something! And eventually, you’ll stumble upon an incredibly useful resource or an open and honest mentor that will turn you in to a leader.
