What we see and what we hear...is what we become because of what we believe. Sometimes we don't see things as they are but we see things as we are and how they affect us. We see what we expect or want to see. In order to truly see we need to step out of ourselves figuratively and look at it from another's perspective.

We all experience hard times and tragic events. It's important to note that nobody is immune from tragedy or negativity. Some just choose to not be part of it and all of the negativity that comes with misfortune. In this podcast you'll learn what it takes and how to remain positive and upbeat in any situation.

There are several "secrets" included in The Iceberg Effect. As a matter of fact, every time I read the book I find another one...lol. Dean Holland puts together quite a story. It is refreshing to see the underdog win once in awhile. Based on the formula listed in his book, anyone can be an overachiever...it just takes some qualities and practices that are done consistently over time. Feel free to ask me for a FREE copy.

We had a great weekend along the northeast shore of the US. All in all everyone had fun and there were no major injuries to speak about. I did learn a bit of online marketing from boating and that always serves well for a podcast. From sun, swimming, bars and tempers it was a memorable trip to say the least. The beach on the other hand with my wife the next day was a bit more tranquil but enjoyable none the less. See you on the other side.

We need to be charitable in all aspects of our lives. Not just personal but our businesses as well. Without being charitable our customers would leave in droves or we would not be getting an customers for that matter. I've leaned over the past 25 years that being nice is just as effective as being a jerk. The only difference is they have opposite effects.

We've all been privy to it...that is...us online marketers. There always seems to be something better out there. We are constantly being promoted that next latest and greatest feature or gadget. We as business owners need to be vigilant and stay the course. We are more productive working on our own business than searching for one that is better.

We hear it all the time...be better...do better...but how? Having healthy routines in place will enable us to achieve and become more. With a healthy lifestyle you're able to attain more and focus more efficiently. Running a business is difficult...lots of moving parts. However, having it broken down to the tasks will make you more successful...and happier.

I enjoy listening to spiritual, personal and business development lectures and the like. Particularly because it puts my mind at ease as well as in control. Matthew Kelly is a dynamic speaker who has a role as a Catholic author, speaker and overall entrepreneur. He coined a phrase that really resonated with me. "Pleasure can not be sustained beyond the activity producing it". Join me for a elaboration and discussion on how it relates to online marketing.

When I first entered online marketing it was for the wrong reason...I wanted to get rich quick. Reality set in quick and I turned my focus around. For me this business is about helping, connecting and engaging with other people. So many times we look to make a quick sale and pass up a future opportunity. Zig Ziglar said it best..."if you help enough people get what they want, you'll get everything you want".

Its important to have a schedule and stick to it. Having a set routine makes you more efficient. I have a daily routine that has never changing (lol...well almost never) morning schedule and evening schedule. Then having a positive attitude filled with personal development material can never steer you wrong. Happiness requires work at times.
