Time to Take a Break

Ring the church bells, mark your calenders with a big fat red X. This is a historic event.

I have decided to take a break.

Huh? Really?

Yes, really!!

The last time I took a break was, …. uhm, …. I really can’t even remember. So I believe its high time.

All work and no play is no fun. Actually, I have forgotten how to play so I don’t even remember if it is fun or not, but I will soon find out.

Plugin Trouble

I believe each and every one of us bloggers has experienced some sort of plugin trouble at one point or another. Am I right? Those can be so frustrating. Especially when you can’t figure out what is wrong and why that darn thing isn’t working the way it is supposed to.

While I was pretty lucky so far, I had my first real experience with plugin trouble when I created my last blog post. For the longest time, I couldn’t figure out what had gone wrong.

Self-discipline Key to Achieving Your Goals

Achieving your goals is a lot easier if you practice self-discipline on a daily basis.

Let me explain what I mean by that.

I got up this morning and looked at my “To Do List” for today. It’s not very long, but there are some items on it which I really dislike doing. However, they are important tasks that I need to do in order to move my business forward.

Now, would it really make such a big difference if I just skipped today and had some fun instead? At first thought, no, probably not.

Georgi - Learning about Limiting Beliefs

My last blog post was about the fact that dogs really don’t love bones. (Who would have thought?) They just settle for them. The moral of the story … why would anyone (dogs or humans) settle for less.

Well, there are actually reasons why we are settling for less than we could have and I will illustrate that in another story from the great personal development seminar I attended last weekend.

So here’s the “rest of the story”…The story of Gus, the lab, and the tennis balls

Gus, like all dogs, loves to play with tennis balls. (Our dog Georgi goes nuts over them as well.) So his owner, would bounce a brand new tennis ball a couple of times just to tease Gus and then he would throw it and Gus would go to retrieve it. But he wouldn’t drop it once he brought it back. Instead it would take some prying that ball out of his mouth.

Do Dogs Love Bones?

I attended an event for my company this weekend and I must admit that was one of the best events I have ever been to. While it did touch on product and company training, it was mostly about personal development and mindset etc., and if you have been following my blog for a while then you know that I absolutely love personal development stuff. The event was amazing and I came away from it a totally changed person.

As a matter of fact it made so much of an impression on me that I would like to share a few of my personal highlights with you in my next couple of blog posts.

Enlightened Networker Joined DoFollow Sites

I bet, just like me, you have been pondering over the issue if you should set your blog to “DoFollow” or leave it at “NoFollow” as is the WordPress default.

To change your settings to “DoFollow” may raise some concerns about getting more spam. However, it would give some well deserved link juice to those who comment on your blog. And, if you have a plugin installed that combats spam, then it shouldn’t be a problem anyway.

As with everything there are Pros and Cons

Blogging for Business

On 30 May 2009 I moved my blog from Blogger over to WordPress, because I had heard that WordPress was the blogging platform for professionals. I didn’t want to be viewed as an amateur so I moved it. If you are blogging for business then WordPress is simply the best blogging platform.

Seven months later I still had virtually no traffic. Here and there someone found my blog by accident, even left a comment which I had no clue I was supposed to reply to.

One day in January of 2010 I stumbled upon Jason Better’s blog and met the “Better Bunch”, a group of the most amazing marketers from all over the world.

Success in Network Marketing

Success in network marketing starts (and ends) with YOU. Have you ever heard that?

If that is news to you, listen up.

Can you relate to this scenario?

You are doing everything your upline sponsor tells you to do. You are using the tools he or she recommends. You attend all company meetings and listen to every single conference call. Yet, … for some reason you don’t see the network marketing success you would like to have.

What’s wrong?

One important ingredient is missing. Actually, the most important ingredient is missing.

Online Marketing Forum

Is it worth spending time in online marketing forums? Does forum marketing really work?

I would definitely say “YES!” Considering you are following the forum marketing tips below.

You can make some great connections there. Find answers to your questions by posting threads. Well, even find prospects for your business opportunity.

However there are some rules you need to follow.

Some are common sense but still I see people violate them all the time.
