Getting Motivated

Getting into the right mindset and focussed on the job of succeeding is a prerequisite of success in what you are trying to achieve.  All the tools and the best tools in the world will be no help to you if you don't have your mind right.

Among the greatest characters to help in this respect is Stephen Pierce.  I've been following his path for several years now and it has been fascinating to watch the development from traditional internet 'guru' to strategic thinker and analyst.  And along the way to learn and understand that you need to do that strategic thinking and analysis yourself about your own business, no matter how small or inconsequential you think it might be.  (By the way, if you think it is small and inconsequential then that is just the way it is going to stay!  Think big to get big!)

The first couple of links here are into .pdf documents from his Smart Marketing Club coaching site.  This is intended just to lay out the scope of the task and so you can see how much of his material is organised.  You will need to get onto his coaching programme to take this further.

If you want more to choose from then try visiting http://www.gurudaq.com/ where you will find all the characters of the internet marketing and personal development industries gathered and ranked according to their current popularity.  Following those up should keep you busy for hours!

But before you do ..

I have to ask if you have read 'Think And Grow Rich' by Napoleon Hill.  This is the principal source of most of the self improvement litererature that has developed since its publication back in 1937.  If you have not read it then you can download a copy right here.

Just click on the book image to download with my compliments.

Then the bang up to date modern presentation of the same information - though much less of a mystery is 'The Secret'?

If you haven't seen it then you must - just to open your mind to the possibilities.  Some people go wholeheartedly down this route, others with more of a pinch of salt.

You have to answer that question yourself.
