What You Think About Money!

What You Think About Money!
Copyright © Steve Hoffmann

Your beliefs about money stem from early in life by what you
see and experience around you. Things your parents said
about money, fights in the home about money, what your
teachers said, and your own early experiences about money.

It's really not your fault. But, once you know this, it's
YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to change and reprogram your thinking
and belief system. Because your thing makes it so.

Here's a major test - think back as far as you can about
your earliest memories about money. What was the context,
the situation? What did you hear said about money? What were
the messages you received about money? How did you 'feel'?

What you believe about MONEY is how you see the world and
will determine the experiences you have with it. Like a
self-fulfilling prophecy, your beliefs around money will
result in what you experience.

Your beliefs may 'feel' true and real for you, but it's not
necessarily the truth or fact in reality.

Here's another test - If money is not showing up, it's a
reflection of what's going on in your 'inner' world - how
you see yourself, your own self worth. It means you need to
do some work on your 'inner' world. IF YOU DON'T GROW WITHIN,
YOU GO WITHOUT...


Money is a great teacher and an insightful coach about YOU -
if you will listen closely and learn, and use the experience
to grow yourself in your relationship with money.

There are many erroneous beliefs about money - let's examine
5 of them.

>> THERE'S NOT ENOUGH FOR ALL OF US <<

This belief is based in the 'scarcity' mentality or
'poverty' consciousness. Resources are scarce and in limited
supply, and you have to scramble over each other in
'dog-eat-dog' fashion and compete to get those limited
resources.

The truth is that money is just energy, an exchange for
value.

If you make the mental shift that money is limitless, that
it can be invented, created and generated on demand, in line
with the value you provide, it will open up all sorts of
possibilities.

So it's only your beliefs, imagination and creativity that
limit you. How liberating is that?

>> RICH PEOPLE ARE BAD <<

Well, that has to be one of the biggest falsehoods I've ever
heard. It's based in a mixture of envy, suspicion and
mystery - "How come they can do it, and I can't? What do
they know and do, that I don't know? They must have done
something shady or deceitful to get their money."

Sure, there are some who do it that way. Equally, there are
less than desirable characters among the ranks of the less
than wealthy too.

ANOTHER JUSTIFICATION IS - Good people, spiritual people
don't chase after money. It's wrong to have money and focus
on accumulating material things.

The fact is, whatever spiritual or religious beliefs you
follow, it is your birthright to live an abundant life and
your higher purpose and vision. With abundance, you have
more options, resources, freedom, flexibility, and abilities
to live your best life to its fullest potential, and help
others achieve the same.

>> YOU HAVE TO WORK HARD TO MAKE MONEY <<

This belief is anchored in the simplistic linear view that
the harder you work the more money you make. Well, that's
just plain not true!

You are remunerated in direct correlation with how much
value and service you provide, not how many hours you work.

Successful people know that working 'smarter' not harder is
the way to go and is totally achievable. We were not meant
to toil, struggle or suffer.

Here's a Tip - whether you're starting your business,
building it further, or taking it to its next growth level,
always be looking for the best ways to automate the
activities in your business.

Create 'set it and forget it' automated systems that
systematise your client acquisition, contact and selling
process. Technological developments such as auto-responders
and a range of software applications have done wonders for
automating routine time-consuming tasks.

Leverage your time. Shift away from trading time for money.

Focus on doing what you do best. The truly wealthy put their
money and the efforts of other people to work for them, and
outsource tasks that are not natural talents for them. Like
a virtual army always marching forward, advancing your
interests.

A successful life is a balanced life with time for work and
play.

Otherwise, what is the point of working hard if you don't
enjoy yourself and get the benefits that flow from your
work?

>> YOU HAVE TO SPEND MONEY TO MAKE MONEY <<

Wherever you look, stories abound about people who started
their businesses in their garage, spare room, even their
car.

Anything is possible, if you believe it, and set your mind
to achieving the task, and taking the ACTION to make it
happen.

With the internet, this is even more so. Technology has
enabled minimal and no start-up money requirements. The huge
growth in the home business sector has meant minimal
overheads.

Sure, it's great to have some money to seed fund your
business, but it's the other elements that are far more
important, like your success mindset, entrepreneurial
creativity, taking ACTION at the right time, repetition,
persistence, and the flexibility and resilience to bounce
back quickly to try the next thing that will bring success.

>> YOU HAVE TO HAVE EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS TO MAKE LOTS
OF MONEY<<

Not true at all. How many wealthy teachers or university
lecturers have you seen lately? Their salaries leave much to
be desired.

In recent times, we have seen more internet marketing made
millionaires than we've seen previously in other business
sectors, and many with very little or no formal education.

What they have is an entrepreneurial, risk taking spirit,
action orientation, and persistence to succeed at all costs.

In fact, too much formal education can be a hindrance as you
may end up set in your ways with a standardized 'cookie
cutter' approach to seeing the world that you will have to
'un-train'.

Another issue is that you can make the mistake of going on
an endless quest of doing more courses to acquire further
knowledge, always on the lookout for the next piece of the
puzzle that hopefully will be the 'jackpot' answer.

Without adequate APPLICATION, there is no success. Success
comes from applying your knowledge 'full circle' and seeing
it through to the absolute degree of completion with dogged
determination.

The most successful people come to business and making money
with an open mind, egalitarian in nature, and willing to try
new things. A success mindset and attitude are all
important, as is the ability to see and act quickly upon
opportunities with great timing.

When you know which particular false and limiting beliefs
you may have about money, you can go about changing and
reprogramming those beliefs so that you can move closer to
achieving the success you so richly deserve.

How to Build Your Fortune online by Helping Local Businesses

With the Internet world growing by leaps and bounds on a daily basis, more and more people are spending hours each day on line. You can now search for an abundance of information on just about any topic on the internet, and purchase everything from computer software to your groceries. In fact, on line businesses, when well marketed, are fast growing and very profitable. Many people are looking to get their piece of the pie. Internet Marketing is in high demand, especially in one particular niche that many people over look.

There is a virtually untapped income opportunity just waiting for internet marketers. If you are looking to make some extra cash, you might be surprised to find out that the plain old fashioned local (small and medium sized) brick and mortar stores are in need of internet marketing services. In fact, some would say they are in desperate need. It has been shown over and over again that the small local business can benefit tremendously when they advertise their business on the Internet. For most small business owners this is easier said than done.

The problems that off line businesses have are that more often than not, they do not know much if anything about on line marketing or even where to begin. Therefore, they either miss out on this money making opportunity or they have to hire someone to help them. This is where the internet marketer comes in. Internet marketers can greatly help the small business owner. As an internet marketer, you can work to help brick and mortar business owners advertise for new customers on the internet. There are of course a variety of ways to help bring new customers to local off line businesses. Some very simple ideas include, listing the business on yellow page sites, posting coupons for the business at coupon sites and advertise them on Google Local.

However, one of the most profitable ways to promote a local off line business is to create a website with a blog. Blogging is the up and coming way to advertise, and Internet Marketers are fast working to set up such Internet sites. Blogs have great promise for the local business owner. Having a blog promoting your business that provides relevant information can reap some promising outcomes.

Finally, setting up an on-line mailing list to your customers can be very advantageous. Customers can be updated on new blog postings, upcoming sales and new products. Emailing customers also can cut costs if the business owner had previously mailed out information to customers.

In conclusion, if you are an internet marketer and currently looking for additional income opportunities, you truly should consider hitting up the local businesses where you live. Many of them probably don’t even know that they could benefit from your services.

Using internet marketing techniques on offline businesses...

As an internet marketer, I know just how lucrative it is to make money marketing online businesses. However I have to let you on a secret I just stumbled upon. I have just found out that instead of concentrating only on online businesses, it is just as easy to earn easy cash using internet marketing techniques on offline businesses!

The main reason for this is because to offline businesses, internet marketing proves to be something new. They are not aware of this market and avenue of free marketing, which brings increased sales and profit for them.

We as internet marketers have nothing to lose as all we have to do is to teach all of them the tricks of internet marketing. Basically, offline businesses at present carry out similar marketing and advertising tactics like using coupons for promoting their businesses and perhaps getting listed in the yellow pages.

They save while we earn

However what they do not know is that they can save money through internet marketing (while we make money!). Instead of spending money printing coupons, we can teach them how to use online coupon companies for free. And instead of getting listed in the yellow pages, we just have to show them the global audience the business gets by listing their business in online yellow pages and directory sites.

We can also carry out workshops to teach them all there is to internet marketing and earn some money by charging for attending the workshop. We can also offer to start blogs for them, and manage them by adding fresh content on a regular basis, and by perhaps starting an e-newsletter for interested people to sign up for.

So you can see that by offering our internet marketing skills to offline businesses, not only do these businesses flourish, we can also earn a sizeable amount through their internet marketing.

There are more tips and techniques to learn by implementing internet marketing techniques in offline businesses. This is why I highly recommend you download this free report called Easy Offline Cash. It discusses everything about using internet marketing techniques in offline business.
