A Strategy for Kicking Ass in IM

10 replies
Hey Everyone, It's RC.

I'm not really an internet marketer, I'm sort of like the next Tim Ferriss. I Study mainly human effectiveness, learn and come up with strategies for rapid achievement and spend a lot of my time deconstructing things like mental programming.


However, I do have a product on the net so, I need to market it.

A great strategy I use, to come up with new strategies everyday is:
  1. Read 5 pages of a mentally stimulating book
  2. While I'm doing that, when my brain is fired up, I spread out about 5 pieces of paper
  3. Then in the middle, I circle and write the outcome I'm moving toward (500 sales on an E-book, etc)
  4. Then I literally go nuts with ideas specifically on HOW CAN I DO THAT? Go Crazy
  5. I get myself to feel like it's all LAB LIKE and I'm experimenting, that helps with the drive to do it
  6. Then I take another piece of paper and write down 5 actionable things I can do RIGHT NOW to move toward the outcome
  7. ENGAGE


Works great for me! Thanks for reading everyone, all of your posts are awesome... I'm learning tons from all of you.

        Thanks for the information. Good post.

        I do something similar once a week mind mapping using freemind software. Instead of reading a book though I just allow myself to surf the net for fun in any non-im area just to see what's out there and get the mind going.

    Very inspiring!

    I have periods, usually lasting 3 months each, where I get completely creative, only sleep 2-3 hours per nite, and brainstorming all over my house, on the whiteboard, postits everywhere, networking like crazy and just getting as much input and creative output as possible.

    Then, it slowly fades off as I get more and more into the details of the implementation and I find myself sucked into the laptop literally, just working working working focused like a humanoid until the results come jumping out of the screen and then...

    ...I exhale while I hear the ca$hing and the sound of the money counting machines at the bank...

    Can't beat that feeling!

    Think Act Enjoy

    Hey RC,

    Thanks for sharing!

    You have a great idea for yourself! I think the key is figuring out what works best for yourself you know, because everyone's different. What works me me might not work for you, but you never know it could be just what I need. It's kind of like taking a gamble following someone else. You might just be setting yourself up fo failure.

    Mind mapping is a great way to come up with useful ideas. Many people use mind mapping to get ideas quick.

    Just my 2 cents.

    Thanks again!

    God bless,
    William Veasley
