Massive Action to Jumpstart Your Business

Ever feel like you are getting nowhere fast?  You know what you want to do, you keep preparing and learning, yet another week goes by and you have not started.  You have not taken that first crucial step towards your goal. How to break the cycle of analysis and get into action?  Get into action with Massive Action.

First: decide that "Enough is Enough! I will do this."  Second: set a milestone that is in keeping with your big goal yet attainable.  Don't have a goal?  Set one (read up on goal setting or watch a video; it is critical enjoying the life you want).  Third: set a deadline for that milestone.   Fourth: lay out a plan to get there. Fifth: enlist the aid of your contacts, people within your shpere of influence; how can you help them get what they want in such a way that you can get help with what you want?

Sixth: TAKE MASSIVE ACTION, such as recommended by motivational guru Tony Robbins.  List 2 things that you can do RIGHT NOW, as soon as you finish reading my blog of course).  It may be to call a contact, get the procedures and fees to register your business entity, or sign up for Blogger and create your first blog site.  Whatever it may be, write it down then imitate Nike and JUST DO IT.   But don't stop with just the 2 actions! Do this process regularly. List what needs to be done; pick a day and time to do it; do it; check it completed task off the list; take more actions; add to the list; check things off the list.

Continue this process and before you know it you will have reached your milestone. Congradulations! You are a success. Now, for the next milestone...

Make Money Where You Shop

Love shopping online?  Do your friends clue you in on where they found a great deal?  I suggest you step back from your shopping frenzy, look objectively around that site's home page and see whether they have an affiliate program.  Most likely they do.

Before starting my blogs and including affiliate products on my sites, I never even knew such an opportunity existed.  Now I see them on most sites.  Recently I started using my free membership at Wall Street Survivor to do paper trades.  After selecting my new stock buys for the day, I happened to scroll to the bottom of the page.  Guess what I saw?  That lovely word "affiliate."  That was an eye-opener that prompted me to post this.  Even in industries or areas that you would not expect it, there it is.

Businesses are using the power of affiliates to get advertising; advertising that they do not pay for until AFTER the sale is made.  How sweet is that?  So set up a site, register as an affiliate with companies where your friends regularly shop and ask your friends to buy via YOUR site.  Then, if they "see the light" and want to become an affiliate you can reciprocate and buy your items at THEIR site.  NOTE: some companies do not allow their affiliates to purchase through their own site and earn a commission; be sure to check their terms and conditions first.

Likewise, if you have a product that you are marketing, spending loads of money on key words and pay-per-clicks perhaps you should consider partnering with affiliates.
