Hi Folks,
This is my first post on this new blog. I haven’t had time to add any bells and whistles to the blog yet, so excuse me if it looks plain and newbie like.
Here’s what’s on my mind today:
We are all creatures of habit. We do things that we are comfortable doing over and over again. This is because we subconsiously associate pleasure with our comfortable habits and we associate pain with the unknown.
They say that “if you keep doing what you’ve always done, you’ll keep getting what you’ve always had.” To be successful often requires you to step out of your comfort zone and try new things.
I don’t want to get too philosophical today. However, I will say that I’m trying to lead by example with this blog and the free videos I produce. That’s because videos and blogging are outside of my comfort zone and a challenge for me. I realized this when I found myself making up any creative excuse to get this done later. I have to watch tv, or surf the web, or even clean up the yard. Anything to avoid doing something uncomfortable.
So for me, this blog is not really about money. It’s more about disciplining myself to take action and get comfortable doing new things. The reward is teaching you some stuff that can hopefully make you some money.
That being said, here’s a new video I finished last night at 2am (after procrastinating for days). It will show you some simple ways to start an online newsletter, get free traffic, and build your list.
It’s soooo true that the money is in the list. The video shows proof of how I use my newsletter to make up to $50,000 per month. Not bad for a lazy slacker like me :-).
Here’s the free video (it may take a minute to load). Leave comments by clicking on the “comments” link at the top and tell me what you think:
