You are the magic pill.

Yes, indeed you are a magic pill, Daniel. Your post motivates me to go work and earn my first 50k this month.

Much success,

Good ****!

You sir, can really write. Loved reading it... going to watch you're videos now.
Can't really say much else, but thank you for adding serious value to my morning.

Cheers.

In simple terms:

To make big income you sell stuff that costs a lot of money over and over.

Most thing that cost a lot of money that you can sell over and over are
service related like coaching and marketing services.

So instead of trying to sell an ebook about how to get on the first page
of google, you print out your 50 page ebook, read it out loud and make
2 cds out of it, then go sell it to business owners for 200 dollars.

At the end of the book you tell them that you can do it all for them
for a whole year for 5k, and if they don't see results you'll give em
6k back.

Then you outsource everything for 1k and pocket the difference.

Then after you have some references raise your price to 10k, sell
one package a week and you'll make over 500k in a year.

Or do what I do and hire sales people and pay them 20%.

Here's to your success and God Bless.

Great post daniel, I really like it, and read every post in this thread to pick some gold

Great post, but I cannot view the videos

[Adeel_Chowdhry]

Please fix the video.

:-)

Awesome post.

[freudianslip27]

Fantastic post!

I think a lot of this goes back to us not having confidence in ourselves. We don't value our knowledge and services enough and that leads us to focus on the lower end of the field.

Look at how many successful people there are online that aren't "geniuses". What are you missing that they have?

One mistake I make is I find something that makes money, but have trouble scaling it. I try to consider that from the beginning now when working with a venture.

I'm grateful for this thread. What also comes to mind are books like "The Magic of Thinking Big", by David J. Schwartz; and that line from The Dark Knight where the Joker says...

"It's not about the money..it's about sending a message"

When I watched that part of the movie, I applied a (much more positive) parallel to the IM world-
Focus on seeing the real value of helping people first with a great message, and the money will follow.

Also, that Jack-In-The-Box fast food commercial where the guy is hoping to get rich selling antenna balls:

Jack: I'll buy one. How much?
Guy: A million dollars
Jack: Don't you think that's a little expensive?
Guy: Lol. All I need is one sale!

I can't view the video(s), is there an alternate link?

[Dennis-White]

Great Post, I loved it you touched on a lot of great things

[kcgeorge]

Thanks for this great article, it really inspired to work hard and think positively.However, i try to watch the video but it wouldn't open.

[DerrickLamont]

i love that post, keep those coming!!!!!

[brandonhess]

This is so true. Great post, long as hell, but great. Now if more people would think this way it would be great. Everyone is so focused on the recession, and that is only going to make it worse. Need to get over it and move on.

Thanks

[Sam Mlambo]

Awesome Thread, Taking action is the best feeling in my life.

[mywebwork]

Very inspirational post, thank you for it. As others have reported the video link does not work.

[redneo]

yeah... many people just come here to read but didn't work with the method.... the q is.. hardwork.

The concept of limited versus unlimited thinking can be nicely illustrated by PPC (pay-per-click) marketing.

Limited Thinking Model:

Suppose you try and sell a $27 product using PPC.
You spend 50 cents per click, and your conversion rate is 1 percent, i.e. you sell 1 product for every 100 clicks.
So you spend $50 and earn $27 for each sale, and you make a loss of $23 on each sale.

Unlimited Thinking Model:

Now, suppose you sell a $270 product using PPC.
This time you spend $1 per click, and again your conversion rate is 1 percent.
But this time, you spend $100 and earn $270 for each sale, and you make a healthy profit of $170 on each sale.

absolutely hit the nail on the head!

I too am having problems viewing the videos,really would like to see them after reading this thread.

[Teenage Genius]

OP - It is SOOOO True about peoples mind set!

I started a thread here not so long ago about how I tryed to teach my friend internet marketing as he is bright but was struggling with life in general. I was just met with excuse after excuse.

Luckily for me I've always been the opposite. I have the "I can do anything and everything" attitude and I have genuinly believed in myself for years too. I think thats helped my success ten fold!

Great post Daniel, you're absolutely right it is a matter of the right kind of thinking in the first place! Having a great plan to begin with is very important for sure, but its also whether you have the confidence in your abilities to follow thorough on them.

Well for most people its a combination of Self Esteem / Limited Thinking

You may get the idea to go offline and start targeting small businesses
and helping them get online.

Now that will make your $50k this month.

Especially liked that part, focus your energy into once source and give it all that you have to ensure your success! It helps my own business on a daily basis!

[keithdougherty]

Wow you really put it in to context. I think we can all learn from utilizing the proper mindset. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, that was a powerful post.

[Lori James]

Hi,

I'm new here and this is my first post. I'm going to copy it and put it where I can see it every day.

You're right, a lot of people, including me, limit themselves in their thinking. This is a really great post, and I'm going to start thinking "outside the box"

Thanks,

[Samuel Lee]

Great post Daniel! Very inspiring, I like the way you explained that we should look outside our own square and start to add our unique skills to make new new services to our existing products or develop new ones that are going to help people build there own businesses. Very true...

[sap147]

Excellent post, very inspiring to say the least. Steven, just to get back the linear thinking you were talking about (college students graduating and starting a entry level salary job, etc..).. Well, I graduated college a few months ago with a Chem Eng. B.S. Degree and have been unable to find any type of job/internship, nothing at all. I would sit at home depressed, but then I stumbled across IM. I am starting to think it was a blessing in disguise.. I always had a feeling that god had bigger plans for me..

[Doctor Article]

Awesome post and some great responses as well. Many thanks to all who've contributed.

[pheonix44]

excellent thread. I can definitely say that I have had problems with this. I would go a step further and say that this applies to everything in life. You show others directly what you feel you are worth by what you do and how you present yourself. Take approaching girls for example. If I see a really attractive girl my first thought is wow she is so beautiful, she could have any guy she wants so why would she choose me. So you have done her job for her and rejected yourself.You go to someone you feel you have a better chance with aka someone who you feel is less attractive thusfore will not reject you because there options are less. This could be said for anything in life that is highly desireable. A car, a house in a certain neighborhood choice of mates your career, the school you go to or the people you hang around. The real lesson here is to VALUE YOURSELF.

[ragstworiches]

Hi,

Excellent thread, I believe a lot of people on this forum are living in a fantasy world in which you make money without spending any money, taking any risk or working effectively.

I was recently thinking of all the people who basically do what someelse has already thought of and then expect to make money?

Which led me to the belief that if you can create an original idea that is beneficial to people it will market itself.

If your idea is good enough you shouldn't really need to create a whirlwind of hype it should come naturally.

For example the site omegle was created by an 18 year old. All the site does is allow you chat to random people. This got picked up by the media and thus it was marketed worldwide for free.

I believe it is all about the idea, if you can create a good enough idea it will sell itself, regardless of your marketing abilities.

Hey Daniel,
great post man.

Mindset is definitely the one thing
that can pul a person down. It actually
was pulling me down quite some time, untill
I realised that my time worth money and people
should pay for it.

Mr Daniel Taylor:

Your post was very liberating!! You just echoed what Robert Kiyosaki teaches in his books/ CD's -- it's the size of the question that determines the size of the answer.

This reminds me how powerful the masses thinking is and that I need to start following people like yourself. Thanks for this powerful reminder!

Great stuff - your mindset is the single most important thing you can adjust to improve everything you do.

I'd question whether it's really 'quick' though - you can't just say "Yes, I have to change my mindset, ok - mindset changed!" In reality it's a process that goes against many subconscious forces and requires real work and time to achieve.

But once you start taking real steps towards it you can start seeing big results for sure.

[ChrisMarx]

Ken,
This little nugget right here was very valuable.

that I wanted to tackle, hire the work, and sit back and collect the money.

I don't have your perspective and experience, but hopefully this will help me skip a few steps that I've been stuck on with one time offers and skip straight to setting up membership sites.Thanks!

Harry, you're spot on with this. It's more than just speaking it. You have to live it, you have to embrace that decision to change and not look back. IMHO, what also happens a lot of times is that new people (and even some vets) hit a bump in the road and get discouraged. You just can't give up. Perseverance goes a long ways.

[MrRSmith]

I agree with a lot of the folks that say they have read some great and inspiring posts. It's very important to remember how important one's mindset is to their success. I don't want to get a soap box or anything like that, but I just wanted to post a quote that definitely helps keep me on target. Some folks might recognize it:

If the dream is big enough, the facts don't count...

In short, if that goal/dream you're working towards is really in your heart, if you know you have to achieve it and failure is not an option, the facts don't matter. It doesn't matter if you barely have any money or barely have any time, didn't graduate from high school or college, IT SIMPLY DOESN'T MATTER! You will find a way to acquire the resources you need to make that dream come true. We see and hear stories like this all of the time. It's just a matter of making the decision to take that first step and not looking back.

(not trying to sound preachy or hypey). Just really passionate about folks achieving their dreams and not wanting to see them give up on what they dreamed of for so long...

Even if old, it still applies, nice share

[Mark Jordan]

Way to go! Great post, Daniel.Thanks

[Myway]

Inflate the bubble..

IM people really are a special breed... It's this kind of mindset and advertising that has driven me away from every single "money making method" for sale online. It's allways I'm the greatest, my method is revolutionary, I'll make you rich quick, your worth millions, blabla.. It's just empty marketing, take common knowledge, spin it, put it in a nice form, ad a ridiculous price, advertise the **** out of it and presto.. YAWN!

I really wonder when the bubble will burst and consumers will start using their brain online..

The thread is from 2008!!! You can read and enjoy it - but please don't bump old threads to the top by posting in them.

[hisham88]

You write a great post Steve. Thanks Daniel!

[daj]

I wonder if anyone from back in 2008 that posted in this thread is now making 50k+ a month from the advice given by Daniel(OP). Is Steve? Is any one? Does the OP still make that much?

[jacksonlin]

Yeah an update would be fantastic.

By posting you have done just that... DOH!...and so have I.

A solution maybe is the Forum Mods should close old threads after a certain length of inactivity. (They can still be viewed)

[jasonl70]

wow..this one was a blast from the past, but so true and relevant even today.

I always tell people that the real key to my relatively quick success with IM was my mindest and beliefs. 10k a month wasn't some fantasy to me - it was normal for mebefore I ever got into IM (I did it with my day job as an IT consultant, and I did it within a month on ebay).

In my case, that was MY limiting mindset - 10k a month.

This concept isn't just limited to IM. even with my day job back then - the only thing that made me different from other people on the projects I was involved in was that I had the courage to say I wanted $85/hr, when everyone else was afraid to ask for more than $60k/yr.

Since my comfort zone was around 10k or so a month, when I got into IM I was looking around with that mindset (and hence I never was interested in becoming one of the legions of struggling "Bum Marketers").

Something that I learned working with salesmen offline - people will do what's required to stay in their comfort zone, but rarely go beyond it. Give them a raise in commission rates, and within 2 months they will have settled in right back at their previous average income (ie, somehow end up selling less). I have seen this OVER AND OVER AND OVER.


While very few people want to hear this, a lot people with success under their belts will tell you that the mental game is critical. In my case, I don't chase any new fad, idea, or launch.. I work on my inner game, as I know that is what is holding me back.

[Rick Britton]

although I have only made tiny money online so far after about 3 months, I had independently come to a similar conclusion only very recently. I don't put it in the same words as the OP but I now see there are no limits and if you have a business model that makes money (or indeed several business models) then why not do them all?

I have two areas of expertise in which I can and will make products and initially I was planning to make some ebooks and so on, sell them or give them away with some embedded links to other stuff.

However, and this happened completely organically, one of my product ranges has expanded in concept into a product that should easily sell for $2000 (probably in installments) and there will be lots of opportunities to upsell extra "stuff". This one product range, although not even started yet, has in my mind expanded into a whole brand with 10 or more specialised versions and lots of special one offs and additional services, one on ones, video conferencing and all manner of stuff. As I say, it started out in my mind as an ebook with possibly a video for $27...

and now the whole concept has expanded again as I have met someone else with a similar amount of information to offer in a different niche and we are going to create a huge product range both on and offline for him....

both of these are huge evergreen niches and my personal goal is to create all these products and have people sell them for me for a very long time (affiliates)...

now I only have one obstacle and that is the financing to actually make the product (mine) which will involve creating 24 to 48 hours of high quality video content and all the extras to go with it.... but I have plans afoot for that!

I feel kind of like the OP has given me a green light to go for it! Yes, I can make a huge product range and sell it for what its worth and not sell it at reduced prices! And every time I think about it lots more new ideas come bouncing along and it expands again.... even now just thinking that there is a very good chance that the two ranges could cross sell

great thread, one of the best

EDIT: wow I have just seen this was originally posted in 2008!! And somebody bumped this recently and I just came to similar conclusions ie tha I can expand and expand without limit to as far as it will go

spooky

[optimus prime]

Easier said than done. But truly a good way to look at it and be motivated by it.
