		<description><![CDATA[There are good companies out there that offer counseling and mentoring for developing and building your online business, make sure you do your homework.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had an interesting event happen this past week.  I received a call from one of those companies that promotes signing up with their coaching/mentoring service.  They say that they can offer guarantees on your results if you follow their instructions.</p>
<p>First of all, no one <span id="more-21"></span>can &#8220;guarantee&#8221; any results.  Although, you can follow the guidance of those that have been succussful, they cannot guarantee your success.  Your success is completely dependent on how hard and smart you work.</p>
<p>After our initial conversation, the caller said that they could recommend me to their consultant who could talk to me right then.  I asked for a later date and a confirming email.</p>
<p>When I received the email, I first noticed that the caller only listed their first name with no company name, phone number, etc.  I also entered the domain name from the email and discovered that it went nowhere.  It was a blind email address.  Two BIG red flags.</p>
<p>I replied back asking for the company name and their website.  I received a website with a different name from the email, although they tried to claim that they were not trying to hide the name.</p>
<p>WHen I check the website, it showed a different company name.  In other words the website I was given re-directed me to another website.  Another red flag.</p>
<p>I then went to the Better Business Bureau and found that this company was going under several different names, and had a C rating from the BBB. It also stated that there were multiple complaints with several open items.  Complaints were involving refund of money.</p>
<p>I then did a google search and found many more complaints including a blog from someone who had worked there and was revealing the the scam.  In fact, the people who had testimonials on the website only listed their first names.  (Another Red Flag)  He revealed their full names and that they were all employees or other associates of the owner.  Not real satisfied customers at all.  Also many of the complaints revealed that, despite their claim that their counselors where people who had made a million dollars or more a year, they were hired to offer the counseling and they were using scripts.</p>
<p>Although there are many good companies out there, make sure you do your homework.  Otherwise, you may become one of those scammed for thousands of dollars.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“If you want to be successful, find someone who has achieved the results you want and copy what they do, and you’ll achieve the same results.”  Anthony Robbins</p>
<p>Are you excited about making a real, better than a full time income from home?  Do you want to be successful marketing your business on the Internet?</p>
<p>I hope so!</p>
<p>What’s First?  <span id="more-4"></span></p>
<h1><strong>You need to set goals!</strong></h1>
<p>Your brain is a goal-oriented machine.  It wants to constantly meet the goals your conscious mind has programmed into it.</p>
<p>Setting goals is vital to successful Internet marketing.  You must not only set goals – you must achieve them.  If you can’t set goals you are most likely to fail!</p>
<p>How do you set your goals?</p>
<p>The easiest way to set your goals is to choose someone successful.  Find someone who has been successful at internet marketing. Then say, ‘I want to be like (fill in their name).</p>
<p>Their success is YOUR goal!  It’s that easy.</p>
<p>Then simply learn.  Learn as much as you can about how they got where they are and where they were.  What did they do and how they did do it?  What do they do to be a successful Internet marketer?</p>
<p>You don’t necessarily have to use their financial success or their corporate success.</p>
<p>You may have a goal of simply having the ability to do more with your life.  Maybe you don’t want to be a millionaire.  That’s okay!  There are plenty of marketers out there that, instead of coming out with that new product, they would rather spend their day with their family and bring in a six-figure income while barely working.</p>
<h1>It is up to you!</h1>
<p>What you learn, and the decisions that you make and act upon will determine your destiny.</p>
<p>When you go to sleep, replay these thoughts inside your head.  Speak to yourself phrases like, “I am successful”, “I am someone others want to follow”. “I will learn what I need to be more of a success.”  It really works, no matter how weird or corny it may sound.  You can easily reprogram your mind and become what you tell yourself you are.</p>
<p>I will be providing the foundation your own successful Internet marketing.  You must put into practice what I teach you and have a clear detailed vision of what you want to achieve for yourself.</p>
<p>Do you want to do this in your spare time for extra money?  Or do you want to get out of the rat race and pursue your own profitable home business?  Do you want to make it big?</p>
<p>You need to be motivated to do these things in order to achieve these things.  You need a positive and successful influence.</p>
<p>Do you want to better yourself?   Do you want a better life for you and your family?</p>
<p>You need to decide.  Why are you doing what you’re doing?  This not only applies to your online business, but it applies to your life in general.</p>
<p>One of the most important things that you must do for yourself is learn.  Learn as much as you can about what you enjoy doing.  Find out what the successful internet marketing people do, listen and learn from them, and</p>
<p>“You see, in life, lots of people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know.  Knowing not enough!   You must take action.”  Anthony Robbins</p>
<p>Learning + Dreaming + Action = Success!</p>
