I just launched my new program, which is called “The 5 Star Silver Club” and it’s kicking ass and taking names. Basically, it’s a year long program, but comes in different modules. Module one is very easy to do, module two is more advanced and module three is very advanced.
If you’d like to learn REAL ways to make money online (not crap or temporary schemes, but REAL businesses), then this might be for you. You are more than welcome to check out the video I did about it here:
After coming back from the Cayman Islands, I have decided to start sharing as much as I can with my subscribers and readers and customers. I mean, really get my stuff out there to them for the rest of this year.
For a while now, I’ve kept so lot to myself, but I think it’s time to start spreading the wealth and I want to bring ambitious people along for the ride. What does that mean? It just means I’ll be revealing more than ever what I do to earn money (big money) online.
Be on the look out for another striking program that features amazing folks such as:
Mike Filsaime, Matt Bacak, Bill Bartmann, Marlon Sanders, Keith Baxter, Jeff Dedrick, and so many more…
Additionally, me and a partner of mine will be entering the Real Estate Investing market as well. I guess you could say REI meets IM. So, thanks for reading my stuff and I look forward to the rest of 2009. Lets make it a great one!
We recently went on a month plus vacation to Florida and then on to The Cayman Islands. We were there in the Cayman Islands for about a month and it was tremendous! Me, my wife and 18 month old son had a great time swimming in the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean (steps from our condo).
We’ve always taken long trips (two weeks or so), but this one really took the cake.
I designated a day or so each week to catch up on emails, partners, customers, etc (4 hour work week on steroids)…
It really drove home for me, the fact that making money online is the greatest business in the entire fricken world. I’m extremely grateful each day for the blessings me and my family have received.
Thank You Baby Jesus!
While I was there, close to the last week, I took my flip camera for a little walk on the beach to record some footage. While walking by myself on the beach by our condo (and taking a break from a teething baby), I decided to point that camera at myself and record some tips on making money from home.
Well lucky you huh? (See… I was thinking about you nubs while sipping rum runners at the rum point beach club)
BTW, if you drink, which I’m sure you do, and you’ve never had a rum runner, well… now… you just have not lived yet. Those things rock… are very dangerous (easy to drink fast), but taste oh-so-great.
Now — with these videos. Let me handicap myself real fast on these… keep in mind, these videos are raw as can be, unedited, and some of these mini-videos are frankly flirting with being completely stupid… I record this little crab who seemed to enjoy the media attention, almost busted my ass on these rocks while recording… got my new shoes wet as can be… had a beach audience (who I’m quite sure they thought I was completely insane). I had no idea at first they were watching me… and not to mention it was hot as hell
…But I do end up looking over and noticing about 5 people watching me, clearly wondering what the hell I am doing… as you’ll see on one of these videos (I chopped them up into a handful of videos because most of the world has ADD now, including me sometimes, and long videos can get boring fast).
Regardless, I offer you a glimpse of The Cayman Islands… with a touch of “How To Make Money Online” tips thrown in!
Now, if you are interested in visiting The Cayman Islands, I do have my own personal review for you. Here it goes:
A Must is swimming with the HUGE sting rays. That’s right, I jumped into weist high water on this sand bar in the middle of the ocean, and swam with a bunch of HUGE sting rays. I even held one in my arms (it was barely submerged) for about 10 minutes. Simply amazing. Absolutely the hightlight of the trip IMO. I FULLY recommend it.
We rented a private charter (more on that later in a different post). It was just me and my family out there with these two native guys, who took us swimming with sting rays and also snorkeling. Very cool indeed. Very cool guys, very helpful and it totally Rocked!
…will do that again someday
Next, I recommend staying on 7 mile beach. We stayed at rum point and will not do that again. The condo was very nice (The Retreat), but the air condition was locked and would not go below 76 degrees (I like it very cold when I sleep and that just did not cut it for me). Big let down. Note to condo owner, it’s fricken hot as hell on the island, let your residents enjoy some air conditioning.
Next, rum point has terrible service. The restaurants were good there (Rum Point is on the north end of the island and 7 mile beach is on the west end). The north end and east end are more isolated, and the west end is more populated, more restaurants, more to do, everything is on the west side.
But yeah, the service was flirting with ridiculous at times. They were even rude at times and just did not have that friendly feel, like the west side did. I mean, there is what they call “island time” which means slow the hell down, but c’mon… waiting 45 minutes for my check is BS.
I even got up and refilled my own tea, not once, not twice, but several times at one place. Get a clue, hire more people, make sure they are nice.
Not so on the west side. The west side rocks. People are very friendly, from all over the world (mostly US though)… and there is plenty to do. The beach on 7 mile is georgeous. Crystal clear water, calm most of the time, nice thick sand, etc.
So, we drove across the island to hang out at 7 mile beach most of the time. The Ritz Carlton and the Westin looked great. We hung out at their beaches, swam at their pools, and had dinner there most of the time. I recommend staying there. There’s a dinner type restaurant across from the westin, and it was very good and cheap.
It only took 2 hours or so to fly there and back, so it’s a great place to vacation. Oh, and you have to drive on the other side of the road — no big deal, I picked it up pretty fast.
All in all, if you want very quiet vacation, and you have lots of patience, stay at rum point. If you want plenty to pick from, lots to do, then 7 mile beach is the way to go. Oh, and the beach is better at 7 mile beach. At rum point, there’s a lot of coral, rocks, sea grass, etc and the snorkeling is so so.
7 mile is sandy, and very nice and luxurious. You’ll dig it.
NEXT, I’m ready to go to Aspen again and go snowboarding. I”m tired of the heat. Bring on the snow already!
We recently took a family vacation to Aspen, Colorado for almost two weeks. Initially, it was one week, but we loved Aspen so much we extended the fun. I’d have to say that Aspen is one of my favorite places in America. It’s so beautiful there, it’s almost unbelieveable.
Well…. if you like moutanins, rivers, wildlife, excellent food, cool people, shopping, etc etc then Aspen is tremendous. We spent our time dining at fine restaurants, shopping and snowboarding in Snow Mass (about 10 minutes from Aspen).
I’m not as in shape as I used to be, but I still managed to zip down the blue runs and avoid breaking any bones. My wife was a beginner, but I have to admit, she picked it up quicker than I ever did.
As far as celebrities, everyone said they were everywhere to be seen, but I did not see anyone recognizable. Well, I thought I saw a couple celebrities, but my wife told me I was “wrong”. That happens from time to time you know…
While in Aspen, we decided to look up a professional photographer to snap some family pictures. Boy was that ever a great idea! We were as lucky as could be too. We landed a super cool guy who was nothing short of spectacular.
If you are ever in the Aspen area, be sure and get in contact with Jim Paussa and get him to do his magic. We had a blast taking pictures and Jim and his assistant were very nice and extremely good with my son Julian. The pictures were fantastic and the experience was tremendous!
(Thanks Jim!)
Also, while in Aspen, you’ll quickly realize just how much money people make out there. I mean, it’s one thing to bring in a million dollars, but it’s quite another thing to see the money in Aspen. There are houses there that reach into the twenty million dollar range (and plenty of them!)
I checked out the Real Estate market and it just blew me away how expensive it is there. We took pictures in a townhouse that was priced at 6 million. The shops downtown had furs and art, paintings and clothes that were so expensive, I began feeling an uncontrollable sense of “I-Need-To-Make-Even-More-Money!”
There are always different levels of income to strive for!
You know that, I know that, everyone knows that. However, most people out there cannot consistently drive traffic to their offers. Most out there fail to drive traffic. They fail to master even ONE successful avenue for generating traffic. They just cannot do it. They cannot figure it out. Something is missing, and it’s TRAFFIC.
These are the same people who are not making any money either. It’s the common denominator.
Most out there who are NOT making any money online are not succeeding because they just cannot get the traffic. Without eyeballs viewing your offers, there’s no money to be found. It’s the MOST critical aspect of making money, period.
So why do so many people fail to make money — and generate traffic?
Well, my opinion is they are focusing in the wrong areas. Most out there are afraid to spend money on traffic, so they try all these schemes and free tricks, and free avenues to generate traffic. And, they may get some traffic… but not enough to make any kind of significant financial difference in their lives.
I mean, a few hundred clicks a month is not going to make a dent in anyone’s bank account.
But, people out there continue writing articles, posting on blogs, posting on forums, posting on web 2.0 platforms, spending countless hours on social media sites, and so on…
They do this forever, month after month, or even year after year… and yet they keep wondering where all the money is hiding at. Perhaps they become jaded and furious at the gurus and so called experts who promise the world, but deliver nothing but hopes and dreams.
Try this blog software, try that web 2.0 site, write a dozen articles tonight and submit them until your eyes bleed. Then, do that again and again for the next six months to a year. Keep going, don’t quit, have faith… because six months or a year, or ten years later, money will show up. Just keep going…… they say.
WRONG
Most out there do not have the stamina to keep rolling like that forever without any results. It’s a recipe for disaster… and QUITTING. Most do not have long term thinking and hard-core faith in themselves to stick it out like that.
But, lets say some do. Some spend months submitting articles and whatnot. And then, magic happens. All of a sudden, traffic starts coming to their offers. Presto! Now, they get excited and can even start counting the money that’s sure to flood in.
WRONG
They find out later that their offer does not even convert! All those months of sending traffic, only to find later the thing does not even convert. Now it’s time to tweak and get those conversions up.
All of that is a recipe for disaster (and for becoming jaded).
But, almost every single person I know who makes a lot of money online, does it with paid traffic or joint ventures. They do one of the two, or both. Sure, they may dabble in free traffic means (articles and blogs and such), but their money comes from JV’s and Paid Traffic mostly.
And, to me, that’s the great separator. It’s what separates those who actually DO make money online and those who don’t. Very few make the big bucks with free traffic means. I’m not fully knocking free traffic methods at all, I’m just saying that most out there fail because of those free traffic methods.
I even did a video about this very topic. You can watch it here: video
I explain all of this on video. Check it out. And, whatever you do, if you are not getting traffic to your offers, start planning on participating in paid traffic avenues and/or JV’s. You will not get it down perfectly at first (who does?). But, you should get it down eventually and it sure is a beautiful thing when you can flip a switch and get tons of traffic flooding your offers.
Because you see, even though it takes some time to get paid traffic down to where you’re good at it, it’s still MUCH-MUCH quicker than waiting and waiting for free traffic to finally kick in – if ever.
Have you ever decided, just out of the blue and all of a sudden, to change things in your life?I mean, all of a sudden you want to rearrange things, fix things, mix things up, do things differently and make some significant changes in your life and routines?
If you have… then you should be able to relate to what I’m about to share with you.
You see, not only have I been rearranging things, rethinking things and reflecting on what I want to do differently moving forward, I’ve been doing that constantly for the past week or so.It’s like one thing after another.
It’s weird.
I mean, I got a gym membership and have been hitting the weights and stair master (which is a real bitch of a hard thing to do when you’re out of shape like I am).I even went and met with a Krav Maga instructor to learn that form of karate.I think I’ll wait a few weeks on that one as it looks very hard.
I have a new million dollar house we just moved into.I planted rye grass out in the front (which is something I’d never freaking ever do in the past).I’ve been eating better and sleeping better too.
I’m thinking much more clearly.I’ve been doing breathing exercises and meditating.I’ve been noticing things and enjoying things I’ve never really paid much attention to before.We have a great view at our new house and a swimming pool and hot tub.I’ve been relaxing more.It’s all very strange.
It all started when I drove up to Dallas (a 3.5 hour drive) to attend an event by Russell Brunson.Something clicked there at that event.I’ve been thinking and thinking what could it be that clicked?
What did this to me?Who the heck is this guy I’m turning into?
Whatever it is… I like it.
Today it dawned on me what it was that clicked.
You see, I did not spend much time in the actual seminar.I spent most of my time in the lobby and bar with some friends who were attending the event too.I spoke with a buddy of mine on a business venture we are planningand just relaxed there with good people.
However, I did go into the event to listen to a marketer I’ve always liked very much — and he goes by the name of .X.
During his first speech, he shared his personal story with us in the audience.It was a very moving story and although I have known Mr. .X. for a few years now, I did not know the extent of his story.I knew he had a house burn down and that changed his life, but I did not know the full details and the events that led up to that house burning down.
His story is what changed me.
He had a new child at that time his house burned down and I have a nine month old son.He went from not doing so good financially in his career in Sedona, AZ to doing great, working at home!Then, his house burned down and him and his family were damned lucky to escape with their lives.
He said something like, “All I had was a t-shirt and boxer shorts, which was what I was wearing when we got out of the house.We had to start all over with the basics in life, like a drivers license”.
I was fully hypnotized by his story.
I left the conference room and went up to my hotel room to get my lap top.In my room, I just sat there and thought about his story.I remember thinking to myself, “I don’t care how much money I’m making, or what size my house is, I’m going to enjoy life more and be thankful for what I have.”
That’s what did it for me.
So, I just want to say to Mr. .X. thanks… and also, cool beard bro!
