Perhaps you need to reset yourself as your system?

That's a good way to put it. we do run on patterns and rewriting them takes more than just a decision. Repetition matters.

Reckon the reset takes place when the rhythm is paused, and NO next step is taken...so in between the natural rhythms is the time needed to do an about face or an oblique left/right to correct the direction of the steps.

Being AWARE of your so called programming and believing it lies at a subconscious level, then you know where the work needs to be done. You can however make a change instantly by overriding your action...if the habit is to sleep 8 hours a night, set the alarm for 7.5, and by changing the activity you can instantly change your programming.


As an animal, we humans do tend toward taking the paths of least resistance; avoiding pain and gaining pleasure. However, I feel most humans are under educated about intentions, goals, plans and it appears they are lazy. Overcoming our natural sloth is something almost all of us can do, once we know how to.


Thank you, I hope a good discussion may follow the concepts of EFFECTIVENESS vs EFFICIENCY and how to build better systems.

Here is a quick example of EFT vs EFF; I put my TV on front porch next to my rocker, with a FOR SALE sign and a price. Where I live today, that TV will be gone in a matter of minutes, and I get the best of both.

If I were to do the same thing in my old residence, out in the country, it may go off the porch at full price EVENTUALLY, but due to the traffic, very INefficient.

When approaching IM, my preference is to build around INTENT and PURPOSE first thing, that way, I can consider how to make my overall system better, and within that system, all the sub-systems of a business including; marketing, sales, financial, supply, project management, and all the back office necessities too.

If one buys an off the shelf system; such as ClickFunnels, they will find some parts of the system, such as traffic, to be less detailed, if even mentioned.

As Gary Halbert said, build your foodstand around a starving crowd...and I would add; don't sell hot dogs to starving vegans, eh?

Thank you. Over 5 decades, I've found this to be one of the top reasons for quitting; not getting results fast enough. Many find their journey turning into a death march, as they slog along, getting tired, doing a lot of work and not seeing what they expected.

To beat this, a strategy from the beginning to get FAST results, albeit small rewards, is a better way to get started.

Within the context of making 5 thousand dollars (US) a month in recurring income, one must first get the dollar, then the 100, and have it build up as the biz is scaled up til the tipping point is reached. As you have identified, it can be demotivating because the initial fire in the gut to get started has burned out.

FAST results, is the solution to this problem.

A system built without resistance. EXCELLENT!! One that can be EXECUTED daily, even on bad days (I assume a bad day is one where work motivation is low?).

I disagree slightly with the one thing, about intention, because if one starts there, then they can create or build the quality systems that make the effort easier.

It sounds as if you have built a very nice structure, and hopefully you can scale it up or down as needed...which a well built structure can do for us.

Assuming you have a targeted audience, it appears your structure is fulfilling its duties.

When I think of building a structure, I look first at slop and mess, or the human bottlenecks of the flow chart. Starting with a MONETARY flow chart, money in their (target) pocket, leaving that place, and flowing into my bank account. It is a simple and basic structure, and I will often draw a picture of it on a piece of paper.

Then, when analyzing the transaction, and all the steps involved...it is also a useful way to predetermine whether of not a given business idea is going to be QUICKLY profitable, which I prefer over a longer term approach.

So, if you or any other Warrior would care to share how you go about building your structures for high efficiency and highest profitability, please do so.

I've found over the decades, the fewer steps, the faster the transaction, works best for me a one man band type of operation, and some of the structures have been like oil wells, pumping profits for years.

A basic IM structure, would be a PRODUCT to sell, a PLACE to sell it (often via email or a website), and a PROCESS to exchange the money and deliver the product.

Anyone else?

Yes, we do. Whatever this means, faux Pablum, minus nutrients.

Analyze what and How?

At least you respond, but with just noise??? I don't know. Maybe better copywriting??

My OP was about systems, and offered a look at 5 money making systems; Gigs, Affiliates, Passive, Investment and Entrepreneurial. I tried to lay a foundation for Warrior thinking on how best to construct their journey on the money making Online path.

And my thought was that if postive results are not forthcoming, and it should happen quickly, then the first system to fix or examine is the personal one.

There are internal and external components of your human system; a biologic function and a mental component. Biology is self indicating in that if illness or physical obstacles exist, they all come with some sort of prescription...for example, my brother recently lost a leg. If he wants to walk again, he needs to get a prosethic and/or crutches.

If you are fat and obese, the biologic answer is lose weight.

But also, within the thread, I positied that most Warriors lack the MENTAL system to carry out their objective. Mainly, those childhood indoctrinations which have not been faced, and either accepted or rejected, may be the biggest mental hurdle you have to reach your goals.

So WHAT can a Warrior analyze and how?

Start with TIME. Be it a journal, or daily calendar or diary, keep track of your day hour by hour for a month, so you can clearly see where your time is being spent.

Likewise, MONEY, a look at a budget to go along with your journal of time, how much do you start the month with and what happens to your money as the month goes along.

After 4 decades of helping people set and achieve goals, these TWO activities will probably do the newbie the most good to get off to a fast start.

Where are you spending time, and what is the result of that expenditure? And MONEY, WHERE is yours and what is it doing?

The decades have told me, MOST (80%) people overestimate how much time they actually have to devote to a focused result for their online marketing experience, and also, UNDERESTIMATE how much money it is really going to cost to set up their ideal system.

So what new and OG Warriors can do to increase results, is to analyze their time and money and get a clear picture of what is actually happening with their Online stuff.

P.S. Pablum was a vitamin filled cereal made for infants, in my use of the word, empty calories, meaningless words.
