Webster’s New World Dictionary describes it as “an inner drive,or impluse that causes one to act,incentive,incite,or causing of motion.
So what moves you to take the actions that you do everyday? Is it mindful actions, or is it just routine.. done simply out of habit because this is how you’ve always done things?

Question…how’s that working for you? Wikipedia says motivation is the driving force which help causes us to achieve goals. If you are not satisfied with the direction in which your life is going, why not get motivated? Find the thing that you most desire, to have, do, or be and let it get you moving. Make sure that it is not just “reasons”.. we’ve all heard the “what is your reasons why” mantra.
But if your reasons why are not moving you to actions…to actually accomplish, then they are not strong enough to make the goal. Or your reasons may cause you to act out of a sense of obligation or duty,(chores) more than actually motivate you to success. It may even bring with it a sense of responsibility that you may feel like you can’t live up to or just don’t have the energy for.. ie. failure.

Reason according to Webster’s is “an explanation of an act or idea” and I might add “your why”. But motivation causes you to act upon that idea.
Reason also is the ability to think and draw conclusions. So reason and motivation is relative in that if your reasons are strong you will be moved to action.

Are there blank spaces in between your thinking, saying, and doing?
For those of us that believe in the law of attraction or at least repeat that we do, this is a very important question. We all know that having a disconnect in this process gets us nothing. First off our thinking on whatever it is we want has to be on a consciencous level, especially starting out. I mean are you going to think this one thought only one time and that’s it?..And WahLah!! you’ve made it to your promise land! I don’t think so Sherlock. Think again. This is going to take some serious cerebral stimulation, you got to keep your brain focused on what it is you want. Can’t be jumping all over the place and changing your mind. Can you say”confusion”? So that leads us into the fact that you need to really know what you really want *first…this makes it a bit easier to keep your thoughts focused.

And might I suggest that if you are fresh at doing this sort of thing just think on one small something at a time. Here’s a little forgotten tip that takes us into the next step, the more focused you become the more clarity is revealed and your brain starts to fill up with the thoughts you are thinking and prompts your tongue to speak.

Just like you were on auto-pilot. You start saying what you’re thinking,and I mean out loud. Saying it to yourself, saying it to folks you know, and saying it to anybody who will listen. Probably saying it to some who could care less and wish you’d shut up about it. But you can’t help yourself cause your brain is so full up of thinking it you have to say it to get it out! Now here is where the real manifestation occurs. We think in pictures not words, but when we speak the words (or the names of our pictures) Our brain then begins to prompt us into doing. That’s a pretty neat trick huh?

The doing part has to do with you doing all that your brain is suggesting  to you and all you know to do towards making what you want come to fruition. As you do so, opportunities, people, resources, money, gifts, you name it…it comes, all so you can have the thing you’re thinking on, saying and doing. Yeah you’re all that and then some,creative and powerful and wonderful. Haven’t you ever heard this? “I praise you because I am reverently and wonderfully made” Ps.139:14 well now you have.

You don’t want to remain in a situation or on a path that will eventually cause you to give up completely! It could be just a matter of getting support from someone who actually knows you and has a bit of insight as to what you are good at. One of the most telling truths to help you gain your right path is to figure out what you are either passionate about or discern what natural abilities and gifts you possess. Doing this will keep you from going against the grain and be a lot easier for you to succeed since the path you take will be from a natural flow or extension out of your own talents and passions. I am strictly speaking about what you do naturally not so much on what you might like to do, although if you’ve had a desire to learn to do a particular thing for quite a while maybe for as long as you can remember, it may be that you have a natural affinity for it, in that case go for it! We all learn by trial and error that’s how we really become experienced.. by doing. Something may look good on paper ( theory ) But doing is where the rubber meets the road.

Finding your unique pathway will bring a new freshness to your life, for then you will have motive and purpose. Your gifts will make room for you, and enlarge the lifestyle you are building so that your success comes easily effortlessly.

You can”t ‘do’ a goal . Instead you have to do the things that enable you to reach your goal  – usually that’s several things,done in several steps over a set period of time.

A goal without a plan remains just a goal – many people have visions, intentions, ideas, dreams which never happen, because they are not planned.

And so they may become frustrated and give up. Just having a  simple plan, beginning with a clear goal, and an outline of what will make your goal happen is really all you will need to start. Good plans tend to include:# A clearly defined aim or target.
# Linked steps That are relevant to reaching your goal(because you want to stay focused)   – resources, actions, knowledge, etc
#The plan must be  achievable within a set time.

* Monitor the execution of your plan and review it regularly. Ask yourself questions….like…. How much have I progressed towards my goal  now? What new information have I gotten since implementing my plan? Are there steps that I need to add or remove? You can Use this information to  adjust and optimize your plan. So that you are working effectively all the time.

A plan is like a map. When following a plan, you can always see how much you have progressed towards your project goal and how far you are from your destination. Knowing where you are is essential for making good decisions on where to go or what to do next.

One more reason why you need planning is something called the 80/20 Rule. It is well established that for unstructured activities 80 percent of the effort give less than 20 percent of the valuable outcome. You either spend much time on deciding what to do next, or you are taking many unnecessary, unfocused, and inefficient steps. So having a plan of action is crucial. You should Take time to write down a plan of action.

How to write an action plan

When writing an action plan to achieve a particular goal or outcome,there are a few steps you can take….  .

* Clarify your goal. Can you get a visual picture of the expected outcome? How can you see if you have reached your destination? What will make your goal measurable? What constraints do you have, like the limits on time, money, or other resources.

* Write a list of actions. Write down all actions you may need to take to achieve your goal. At this step focus on generating and writing as many different options and ideas as possible. Take a sheet of paper and write more and more ideas, just as they come to your mind.

* Analyze, prioritize, and prune. Look at your list of actions. What are the absolutely necessary and effective steps to achieve your goal? Mark these steps.  After that, what action items can be dropped from the plan without significant consequences for the outcome. Cross those out.

* Organize your list into a plan. Decide on the order of your action steps. Start from looking at your marked key actions. For each action, what other steps should be completed before that action? Rearrange your actions and ideas into a sequence of ordered action steps. Finally, look at your plan once again. Are there any ways to simplify it even more?

Once you have identified your action steps and resources you can then prepare a schedule,  set priorities and begin working your plan.A plan should be simple, clear, flexible and continuous.
Now you’re set to succeed!!

I realize now that registry cleaners and spyware removal programs are really only a small part of what’s necessary to really keep my computer running consistently better. They are a quick fix that simply leads to other expenses – and more down time!

The PC RunFaster video tutorials not only walked me right through the steps I needed, but I could watch them whenever I wanted – whenever I had time to do the simple steps. Watching each training video was like looking right over the shoulder of someone coaching me on my own computer.

I know there are other ebooks and PDF’s and any number of blog sites where I could spend countless hours trying to figure it out – but I don’t see anything on the internet that compares with the thorough training of these videos. Thanks Earl and Matt – for creating PC RunFaster for all of us to use.

Here’s the lowdown and a comparative look on the cheap and expensive internet advertising methods:

The Expensive:

1. Pop-ups. Not only is this expensive, but also outright annoying that visitors close pop-up windows without even bothering to know what they’re all about. This is an internet advertising method that you can do without.

Fly ads are derivatives of pop-ups which are also equally irking to the visitors.

2. 1. Pop-ups. Not only is this expensive, but also outright annoying that visitors close pop-up windows without even bothering to know what they’re all about. This is an internet advertising method that you can do without.

Fly ads are derivatives of pop-ups which are also equally irking to the visitors.

2. Pod casts.

Broadcast is to TV as pod cast is to internet. It’s one sophisticated internet advertising method that can somehow hamper your budget. But if you’re thinking results, pod casting is worth the money.

3. Paying the search engines.

How does this one work? When someone types in a keyword related to your site, your URL is automatically included in the first page of the top results. Fixed payment for the search engine allows just that. Expensive, yes, but if we’re talking about Google and Yahoo search engines here, then don’t give it a second thought.

This is associated with another internet advertising method: the pay-per-click system.

The Cheap:

1. Blogging.

Go along the bandwagon and blog about your website. This is an internet advertising method that is popular as of the moment, so you never have to worry that this will never spur outcome. All you have to do is sign up for a blogging account, post and voila! You don’t even need to pay!

2. Submit to not-so-big search engines.

This is cheap and dependable. If you submit your site to smaller search engines, you have bigger chances to get bigger results. Remember that the search engine giants can dwarf and overlook your site easily, so this internet advertising method might just be the right one for you.

3. Text links.

This is not just cheap…this is virtually free! Let someone text link your site and return the favor.

Cheap versus expensive, that’s always the question that hounds on whenever we’re trying to get something. In the field of internet advertising, just be wise enough to figure out what will suit your needs. Go for what you want as long as there are visible results.

I watch people want clients, but not take action. They are seemingly ready, but they complain more than ACT. I know that’s a bit harsh, but it is the reality of being an authentic entrepreneur. If you are really ready to help more people, you have to market and move. So, I have put together 5 steps that are specific and aggressive. If you really want more clients, then jump in.

(1)  DECIDE. GET serious about marketing. Get serious about spending 3-5 hours a day on getting new clients and filling your pipeline. This is not a time for excuses or to “kinda” do it. Are you marketing 3-5 hours a day? If the answer is not YES, then the answer is  No.  How do you do this? Make a plan. Map out the time. I built my business to six figures working a 60-hour a week day job. You can find the time if you agree to put all EXCUSES in the 2008 pile and burn them today! Lesson One in the Help More People System shows you my easy process for carving out time. (www.helpmorepeople.com)

(2) TARGET. Choose one specific pain or problem you will address and market only to that (losing 20 pounds, leaving corporate America, buying first home, making more money, etc.) So, again, choose one pain or problem your clients face and focus only on that for now. Tailor your emails, message and marketing to that one area and get as specific as possible.
(3) FIRE HOSE MARKET.  Don’t trickle, network or mention your business. It’s time to pull out the big guns and take the fast fire hose approach. Email every friend and family member about the target you chose above in Step 2 on how you can help, go to THREE (yes I said three) networking events over a 10-day period, find one place to do paid advertising about this pain, email 10 organizations about speaking to their group on this topic, contact old prospects that did not sign on, email your database, etc, etc…..  This is just a start. Create a 7-10 day mega Fire Hose Marketing Campaign to reach every possible person you can, discuss that pain, offer your solution and have a way to bring them in (usually via a complimentary session.)

(4) GIVE IT AWAY. Come up with something that is a generous and authentic giveaway during this week that will give clients a “taste” of what you do.  Some ideas are a teleclass, a workshop, complimentary session, audio, e-book, etc.  When you give the very best of you away, people will pay for the rest! Remember to make sure it is clear how they can take the next step to working with you.

(5) BELIEVE. Please don’t skip this. I know you may be thinking, “Well certainly I need to believe I can do it.”  If you even thought that for a second, then you don’t already believe your own value and worth. People need your gifts. You can ease their pain, their challenge, their struggle.  You do not attract clients without knowing deeply that YOU are needed and the way you share that is through marketing. Clear the cobwebs out of your inner being and breathe in the possibility not just for yourself, but for all those you will serve.
