On My Way To $100,000 A Month

[ad]I was thinking about my goals today and I want to make $100,00 month in profit smily face. I’m not sure when I want to achieve this by. 100k a month would be 1.2 million per year, not too shabby. I really believe I can and will do this, but by what date? If you have a goal you need to have a date as to when it will be achieved by. I think I can pull this off by September 2008, so that gives me like 5 months to a little over doubling my affiliate marketing income. Can I do it? Hell yeah! I don’t have it all figured out, but it will happen. The law of attraction will do it’s magic, along with me working hard and will become a reality for me. smily face

I need to branch out into different niches to achieve my goal, and then from there I need to scale my pay per click campaigns to their maximum potential. It’s amazing the amount of money you can pull in with pay per click marketing, it’s unreal. This is not some cake walk though, you really need to know lots of different areas in order to really succeed at internet marketing.

Skills you need to be a good internet marketer:

  1. web design/layout – designing your own websites & landing pages (photoshop skills, design skills)
  2. html/php – coding your own websites, blog & landing pages
  3. copy writing – writing effective PPC ads & copy for your websites/ landing pages
  4. research – this is the most important factor. You need the ability to dig into a niche and find ways to generate traffic (even in competitive niches).

The last part I added because some friends were asking about how you do pay per click, hopefully they read this and understand it’s not nearly as easy as they think. Anyone can do PPC marketing as long as you’re willing to work 12 hours a day and already have a good portion of the skills I listed above. You need to have the drive to do ANYTHING to achive your goal. A real burning desire and commitment to “make it happen”.

Th reason I blog about how much I want to make financially is because this is how I reach my goals by writing them down, it helps so do it. Don’t just sit on your ass, make it happen. You are the creator of your own destiny, where do you want to be in 5 years? Where do you want to be in 5 months, 5 weeks? Plan ahead, and control YOUR LIFE, don’t let your life control you….

I Lost 3 lbs – Down To 185 lbs From 188

[ad]I’m happy to say my weight loss is coming along nicely, lost 3 pounds since I started. The goal is to loose 13lbs by June , 2008. I have another 10lbs to go. I have basically stopped eating chips, crackers, coke, (cut down on breads, pasta, potato chips by 90%). I try not to eat after dinner but if I do I go with something that won’t make me gain weight. I try to eat fruits, carrots, celery, walnuts, almonds basically non carb or sugar foods. I still have coffee with sugar, and I go to Tim Hortons but I will slow down the Tim Hortons coffee as well.

Basically the weight loss program I am using it the Atkins Diet, however I still have carbs but I cut down 90% of my carbohydrate intake. So this is a healthier version of the Atkins Diet.

Really, it’s not too difficult to loose weight (for me anyways) if you know how to eat. Obviously I should be excercising as well and with the weather warming up it will be easier to be motivated to go out for walks, yard work etc.

The reason I am blogging about my weight loss is so I can keep track of my progess, and writing down my weight loss makes me committed to reaching my goals. Remember, the law of attraction, what you focus on expands. I am focusing on loosing 13 lbs (3 of which are gone already), and believe me it will happen.

What’s Stopping You From Reaching Your Goals?

[ad]Easy question right, What is stopping you from reaching your goals? It can be hard to pin point but I have seen many people want to reach goals but somehow they just never happened, why? I am guilty of some of these reasons as well, so don’t feel bad.

  1. Too high of goals – It’s good to have dreams and goals but make one thing very clear, having goals that are unattainable or that you know won’t be reached are USELESS. You need to be 100% realistic, and you also need to do everything you can to reach that goal. If you don’t reach your goal because of your own doing, such as not focusing enough on making it happen then you loose out. You will loose faith in yourself and setting future goals will result in failure. Be realistic and make certain you can achieve your goal. Before you make a commitment be certain you can achieve that goal, it needs to be realistic. Making $1,000,000 by next week wont happen, so be honest with yourself!
  2. Not writing down your goals -I have mentioned writing down your goals a few times, and I will mention it again. If you don’t write down your goals then how can you know where you are going? When you get in your car, you always have an idea of where you are going, street signs and maps help to guide you along to your destination. Writing down your goals is the exact same thing. Make a list of your goals and look at it every morning, this will help to guide you in your journey. Sounds silly, but it’s not. When you write down your goals, somehow those goals will gravitate towards you, through the law of attraction.
  3. Getting distracted – I do this sometimes but I find myself wasting time and bounce back. You want to make $150,000 by January, 2008? You found a way to make this happen but then after a few weeks, you get bored and move onto something else. You need to follow through and finish what you start. Obviously you can’t or won’t be able to complete every idea or goal you have but you really need to try and do them. The more you jump from idea to idea the less chance you have of making it happen. Once you find something that you’re sure will work then follow through, DO IT! It can take lots of digging to find an idea that will make you money, so when you find it just focus on that idea and expand on it.

These are the biggest reasons people don’t achieve their goals, don’t be on of them! It’s your life, know what you want and try your best to achieve it. I am speaking through experience. This is my personal experience speaking and what I see other people doing.

Tomorrow We Are Having a Baby!

Hey Vancouver Bloggers!!

Tomorrow is the BIG day! I don’t think I have mentioned it but my wife and I are having a baby tomorrow at 9 :30. smily.jpg It is a planned csection which eliminates any of the chances of being woken in the middle of the night by labor pains and a rush to the hospital. I will be getting a good rest tonight as I’m sue my wife will be.

And, no we don’t know what we are having, we already have an awesome 2 year old baby girl, a baby boy would be cool? More than having a boy, I want the baby (boy or girl) to be healthy. smily.jpg

Everyone is super excited, parents are having soo much fun with our baby girl that another one will keep them even busier.

I know I talk about financial goals, but without family those financial goals wouldn’t mean to much to me. Giving my family financial security is important but without my wife and baby girl I would be missing a big part of myself. It’s weird being a father, because I still feel like a kid even though I am 37.

PS: One of my financial goals is to buy a home for each of my kids, in the near future.

Wish us luck tomorrow! smily.jpg

Why do I have a blog? I’ll Tell Ya

Why do I have a blog? Hmm… I was thinking about that this afternoon for a second. The reason I write and even maintain a blog is pretty simple. I like to write out my goals and also I like to think out my thoughts and write them down. When I blog about my goals, it helps me to focus on what I want. I consider this blog a map to success, it forces me to really think about what I want from life and how I want to get there.

Another reason I blog is that it’s fun, it’s a stress relief. For me this blog is a place to bitch about everything from Google AdWords to my daily life. Actually this blog makes me lots of money, not because of the money I make from this blog. I make money because I write down my goals on this blog and I believe that the law of attraction works it’s magic and I get what I ask for. Simple but very, very powerful.

I almost always reach my goals, by the date that I want them to happen. I believe in myself and I believe in the law of attraction.

Now my question to you is this, why do YOU blog?
