Hey Guys, Back in the Day I tried every way under the sun to make Money from Home ... I bought lots of Ebooks and spent tons of money on Stuff I used to spend hours on the Warrior Forum clicking on links until I thought my head would explode here's what I found... The Most important thing you can do is FOCUS and take consistent action For the most part people can accomplish more if they Focus on one task until completion STOP BUYING SH*T and START DOING SH*T!!! Pick something you enjoy doing and find a way to make money at it Network -- Attend Live Events. - Dont try to do it all yourself - 1 + 1 = 3 Find a Mentor - A Good Mentor can take months or even years off your learning curve and introduce you to the right people Help Others - As little as you think you know there are people who will look up to you. Always be generous with your help. It will come back to you 10 fold anyway .. I'm not trying to be a "Know it all" here. These are some things I have found to be helpful to me Jack Bastide |
| STOP BUYING WSO's! - It's very easy to spend a lot of money and waste a lot of time chasing MAGIC BULLETS. I make thousands of dollars every month with a business that costs less than $300 to start. I can help you do the same - FREE UNLIMITED ONE ON ONE COACHING - PM ME | |

| Here, I list 100 things, people on Ecademy.com told me you that couldn't do. Many still think that you can't achieve much on that site. The moral is, you can surprise everyone, including yourself (I know I have, living up here 60 miles north of Aberdeen), when you put your mind to it. (and yes i was being facitious when I wrote this, but did achieve everything listed below, after beign told that you couldn't. I list them not brag or for an ego trip, but to show you what you can achieve online staying 14 miles past the back of beyond.) Enjoy. 1. You can't grow your ecademy network staying 14 miles past the back of beyond 2. You can't generate 400 testimonials on Ecademy in less than 10 years, it takes a long time to build relationships apparently 3. You can't reach the top 100 ranks on Ecademy without attending London Events 4. You can't generate a 59% positive response to an email campaign to Ecademists (and get record spam complaints too) 5. You can't get Thomas Power to travel 500 miles+ to have a 121 with you. ( We found each other in Aberdeen no problem) 6. You can't write a book in 24 hours (even if it does take 6 mths to edit) 7. You can't get a room of Blackstars to touch their nose and then do a world's first - "dance networking" (couse you can) 8. You can't show a fellow ecademist how to generate 100 referrals in a week (I did. just ask Iain Whyte) 9. You can't create an automated self qualifying lead generation system using Ecademy (it all starts with my profile )10. You can't get testimonials from Thomas, Penny, Paul, William, Judith and Glenn (yup you can - OK Glenn's is a video one) 11. You can't generate over 9500 views to a blog that's not about becoming a blackstar. (Yup, but you're gonnae have to find it) 12. You can't keep apologising when you cock up, people will get annoyed. (Best way I think IS to apologise after you cock up) 13. You can't keep offering excellent diagnostic tools for FREE, you should charge for them. (you're right, Testing is over!) 14. You can generate over 160 comments to a blog unless you're the management 15. You can't generate over 50 testimonials in a single evening - You can if you deliver value. 16. You can't offer 100% of your turnover for the next month to another ecademist to help them out of a financial hole. 17. You can't give up your quality time in the evening just to help people in desperate situations. (why not?) 18. You can't generate 4000 views to an April Fool blog about aliens. (I did enjoy this one.) 19. You can't have a bigger queue to your speaking slot than the queue to the dragons den slot at the same event ( I can try ) 20. You can't be a member of Last Thursday, WCP and BS and still be taken seriously 21. You can't generate over £5000 from Marketplace ads in less than 24 hours (you wont if you believe no-one reads them) 22. You can't get new members to visit your profile without emailing them a welcome message 23. You can't have both Jim Wade and William Buist's phone numbers on your mobile. Course you can, they're both amazing ! 24. You can't get testimonials from 100 Blackstars unless you're the management. (now theres a challenge) 25. You can't have a call to action in your blogs, that's too much like "relentless self promotion" 26. You can't generate a 2400% ROI for a fellow ecademist. (Why not ask Dylan Jones) 27. You can't sell in your autoresponders its too much like "relentless self promotion" (so why would you follow up someone ??) 28. You can't keep giving valuable advice in your blogs, people will copy it, worse still profit from it 29. You can't crowd dive at a Blackstar Christmas party or dance with members of the same sex 30. You can't make a rap song from a blog, get 90 comments and generate money for Charity 31. You can't go just making indiscriminate donations to ecademists charities or fund raising 32. You can't generate testimonials without giving testimonials first (Bollocks.) 33. You can' run a commercial club and a touchy feely spiritual club - that'll send out mixed messages 34. You can't write a blog entitled Oggie. Oggie Oggie. No-one will read it, never mind comment on it. 35. You can't repeatedly keep wanting to be nice to people who you know stab you in the back and kick you in the nuts 36. You can't ask people for testimonials if they've blagged your IPR for FREE 37. You can't go 28 hours without sleep just to produce work for a client for them not to use it or pay you (nope, never again) 38. You can't get people to sign an NDA for a 1-2-1 (its just not the Dunn thing to do.) 39.

You can't start up a club on ecademy and expect to have members from over 40 countries. 41. You can't have an interest in more than one business - you must stay focussed 42. You can't use twitter as a serious marketing tool it's for sending messages to your girlfriend 43. You can't get people to travel from America and turn up a day early for one of your workshops 44. You can't keep that level of energy up - I'll give you 3 months at the most. 45. You can't afford to miss a blackstar day, (You can't afford to go, and not give value) 46. You can't say one thing and do another - I know, its annoying when you see people do it, isn't it 47. You can't just want to help people - noone is that naive what about the money? (some people are "wired" diferently )48. You can't socialise with people on Last Thursday if you are a Blackstar 49. You can't give someone a blank cheque at a 1-2-1 & ask them to quantify the value they've just given you 50. You can't go to a networking event without an Elevator Pitch, Killer Qualify Question & Free Item of value - but most do 51. You can't speak to 65 Ecademists by phone in a single day. (why not?) 52. You can't get a £10,000 sale from an Ecademist you haven't met, in a country you haven't even visited 53. You can't read a blog about horse sex, then consider staying at the woman's house who wrote it. 54. You can't write a blog and get 2000 views about 10 things to consider when buying a sheep (worth a try) 55. You can't give out fake winning lottery tickets at a networking event just for a laugh 56.

You can't get 40 marketplace advert headlines written for you (in less than 1hr) specifically to test your new product/service 90.

You can't randomly phone ecademists in other countries and try to help them get PR in their local newspaper 98. You don't think people would drive to 60 miles north of Aberdeen just to pay you to come on your coaching program - the same day they agree to do it (400 mile round trip.) 99. You can't possibly help an Ecademist win their kids back in a custody battle, and sway the court hearing on the other side of the planet without you physically being there. 100. You can't match his legendary hospitality or out drink Rory Murray on Red Wine. I agree - that is impossible. I know. I know.... I must try harder. Maybe there's things on Ecademy people told you, you can't do either, and you've proved yourself and them wrong too. Or if you haven't heard of it, or experienced it, I think you might find it an interesting site to explore. I don't own it, manage it or am including any affiliate links, just listing my experience above for your perusal. ![]() Hope it helps Kind Regards Fraser |

Hi jack, I absolutely agree. Find a good mentor who has already achieved what you want to. Surround yourself with that person and study them. Stay on the path and do not let your mind wonder. Stay in the present moment too. When you stay in the present moment you can't lose focus. If you keep going into the future or the past you will not get done what you are supposed to do today! and people wonder why things keep going wrong Rich |

It can be very easy to get information overload with all of the information out there. I completely agree that it is essential that you choose one program and FOCUS on it.

| Jack I couldn't agree more. I wasted weeks reading hundreds of Free emails inducements from so called internet marketing experts. It wasn’t until I realised that all I was doing was opening emails all day and getting nowhere that I understood that I needed to take action. I go a plan, a focus and a mentor. Now I am seeing advancement every day. I am going forward and have already made my first sale (first of many I hope). So to anybody reading this who is new. Stop wasting time and get an action plan in place. Plan to do so much each day, Take care Jack and good luck. Terry |

Hey Jask - this is a great post! Thanks! I agree with you when you said, "The Most important thing you can do is FOCUS and take consistent action." Mentors / Coaches, helping other people and remembering that what you do (good or bad) ALWAYS comes back tenfold are 100% true, IMHO. I agree 100%. |

We can focus if we love and enjoy the things that we do or work. I personally love my job and I agree that helping other people succeed adds up to our success too. A good mentor can also be an inspiration that can push us to our limits.

To be succesfull you must focus on your work and to think your steps that you must make to have a good bussiness. Also you must have a great team that will support you when you have problems.

I do agree with you, focus on things that I can focus on and work on it, be consistent. Instead of doing so many things at once, but receive nothing at the end. Thank you for sharing this |

Whatever it is, don't give up

I think on top of being focus you need to have faith in what you are doing, if you don't you will almost always quit one step form success.

Yep - Maintain Your focus and keep working towards your goals. I think losing sight or focus gives us the wobbles, but don't dismiss the need for mental "refreshening" too, as too much focus can lead to burn out. |
