SEO Tricks to Get Your Articles SEEN Within the First 10 Results on Google Part 2

by Wolf Benedict on February 4, 2010

This is a continuation of the last article on how to have your articles visible within the first 10 listings on Google. It’s article marketing at it’s finest.

In the last post we went over 5 tips:

1) Put the keywords your audience is looking for within the title of your article.

2) Put the keywords you used in the title in the first couple of sentences of your article.

3) Make sure your article is about the title you are using.

4) Always, always, always use keywords if the option is available.

5) Most people don’t know this next tip - name your pictures and files with the keywords with whichyou want to optimize your articles.

The next few tips will greatly increase your odds of getting into the top ten spots if you are consistent and apply what is taught here.

1) “Ping” your posts. Pinging is a way to let RSS information aggregators know that there has been an update on your site. When sites receive a ping from you, they send out their bots, AKA spiders, to search and catalogue your site. This directly affects search engine rankings, so use it carefully and only after you have followed the previous tips with care.

You can ping posts on a platform like Wordpress which has it built in, or, you can install some RSS code on your website which, when clicked, will notify various sites that you have new content. You can set this up yourself or have your webmaster do it for you.

Most website packages or hosts have pinging included. Be sure to ask about it if you aren’t sure how to use it. Usually it’s a matter of installing the code and then clicking a button on your website whenever you want to ping. It can also be automated.

Note: do not ping one article more than once per hour. Multiple pings of the same article can cause the aggregators to list you as a spam account and blacklist or suspend you. Not a good thing. Also, if you automate, make sure the scripts don’t go overboard and send multiple pings within a short period of time.

2) Bookmark your articles. This is a way to share your content directly with other sites. You “bookmark”, or share your content, usually in the form of a link and title, on sites that specialize in categorizing them.

This can do wonders for your search engine rankings since they are looking for “backlinks” to gauge how popular your website is, and therefore, how relevant it can be to a search.

The more sites you bookmark on, the better – however, proceed with caution. Much in the same vein as pinging, if you over-bookmark, Google et al will become suspicious and blacklist you, preventing your meteoric rise to the top 10 listings.

It is recommended that you ping all of your posts to the RSS feeds and only 50% of your articles should be bookmarked. This is simply what the search engines like at this time.

How many sites should you bookmark to?

If you look around, you’ll notice there are hundreds, if not thousands of bookmarking sites out there. It shouldn’t be necessary to submit to them all, but you should definitely submit to some of the bigger ones like del.icio.us and digg.com. These sites hold a lot of weight with Google.

You can submit to as many as you’d like, but you shouldn’t have to go beyond 50.

Also note that you have to set up accounts on each individual site to which you submit. This can take a lot of time on your part in the beginning, but is a one-time setup for a lifetime of instant submissions. It can really pay off when you submit your new articles to 50+ bookmark sites with one click!

In the next (and last) part of this series, we will explore several pitfalls you need to avoid when doing article marketing for SEO. Stay tuned…

SEO Tricks to Get Your Articles SEEN Within the First 10 Results on Google

by Wolf Benedict on February 2, 2010

If you want to get your articles within the top 10 results on Google or other search engines, listen up, because these tips are POWERFUL for SEO.

1) Put the keywords your audience is looking for within the title of your article. For example, if you sell golf carts, then you could use “How to Find the Perfect Golf Cart” or “Golf Carts – Which Ones Are the Best?”

Google loves titles and headlines. It’s one of the first things their algorithms look at when they spider your website or article repositories like Ezinearticles. The spiders put huge emphasis on the title of your articles, so make sure you pick the keywords for it very carefully.

2) Put the keywords you used in the title in the first couple of sentences of your article. Let’s take the golf cart example again. You could write something like “Looking for the perfect golf cart? Read this article to see which golf carts you may want to look at.”

Google also loves the first part of your article. Consider that this part of the listing typically shows up in the “description” part of Google’s results (if you don’t put a special meta-description for the article). When you match up the title and the first few sentences of an article, Google judges your article to be an aesthetic (relevant) match for it’s users.

3) Make sure your article is about the title you are using. Again with the golf example (I don’t like golf, nor do I play it, I don’t know why I picked this… :-) ) – if you are writing about golf carts, don’t make your article about the best golf swing. This will mislead your readers and Google could penalize you.

4) Always, always, always use keywords if the option is available. You may be uploading your own articles to Wordpress or your own site, or you may be uploading them to some article directories that allow you to enter keywords within a submission field. MAKE SURE you include relevant keywords within these fields or the meta-keywords option. Google puts high priority on this function. Do not ignore this.

5) Most people don’t know this next tip - name your pictures and files with the keywords with whichyou want to optimize your articles. Example: if you have a picture of a golf cart, populate it’s “properties” in an HTML editing program with relevant keywords – golf, cart, best golf carts, etc. Google LOVES this.

It also has an aesthetic effect. Have you ever hovered over a picture and words appear over it? That’s what this effect does. It’s a bit more technical, so if you don’t know how to do this, learn how or have a webmaster do it for you.

We will continue with more highly potent SEO strategies for getting your articles within the top 10 spots on Google in future articles.

Have You Decided to be Rich or Poor?

by Wolf Benedict on January 31, 2010

Not many people really know what I’m about to tell you.

It’s so simple it often gets missed by the masses.

This is something, if you sit down and let it sink in, can
literally change who you are overnight.

As you know by now from the previous emails you have gotten from me
that I don’t like hype, so when I say something that SEEMS like
hype, you should pay attention because it’s important.

There is one thing that separates the rich from the poor worldwide.
Once you learn this, you’ll have much more clarity on what you
should be doing and what you should focus on.

Here is the difference between the rich and the poor:

How they use their time.

That’s it. It’s REALLY that simple. Don’t let that go over your
head.

The difference between the rich and the poor is how they use their
time.

Think about this for a moment…

When a rich person “goes to work,” what are they doing?
Are they getting paid by the hour?  Are they trading time
for dollars?

No friggin’ way!

When a rich person goes to work, they work SMART, not
hard.  Instead of getting paid by the hour, they use LEVERAGE in
order to profit instead of living in the minute world of a
paycheck.

They are “leveraging” both their time and their money,
to create more of both. Read that again.

Poor people trade time for dollars. Because there’s only so
much time in the day, there’s only so much mo ney they can
make. This equals NO “leverage”, and thus scrimping and scraping,
living “hand to mouth” on a meager paycheck.

Now don’t get me wrong. If you like working for someone else and
earning your paycheck, fine. But I believe you are listening to me
because you want a better way. A MUCH better way.

Think about Donald Trump. Does he do all the work himself? Can you
imagine him “clocking in” to work or serving up burgers at
McDonalds (as funny as that image may be) ?

Absolutely not. He knows better.

I have one goal in my life – to make millionaires out of “ordinary”
folks like you and me. It’s that simple. The more success my
members have the more success we have as an organization. That’s
how every single ultra successful enterprise in history has
operated.

In order to help you “leverage” your time and money in a
way that’s unparalleled, my system is the only marketing system
on the planet that offers an entire outsourcing and service
department to help you build your business.

This gives you the ultimate competitive advantage in making
money, the TRUE “leverage” and the secret of the wealthy. It’s
always been that way and it will always be that way.

You can pick and choose which tasks you want to do yourself,
and which tasks you want to outsource.

When you’re new in business it’s difficult to be jack of all
trades.

Take it from me – when I first got started, I did
EVERYTHING in my organization, in my business. I was the technical
guy, the website designer, the database manager, the graphic
designer, the marketer, the “president and CEO”, the founder, etc,
etc. I did EVERYTHING myself.

Not everyone can do that. I’m not bragging, just telling you what
I’ve done.

But I’m the exception. In fact, that’s one of the main reasons that
new entrepreneurs fail. They’re trying to figure out all the
details of getting their business up, running and profitable.

Remember the cliche – “a jack of all trades is a master of none.”

The truth of the matter is, there simply isn’t enough time in the
day. There really isn’t, and I sometimes wish I had known this when
I first got started.

You can learn from my mistakes.

The reason you want to start a business, is because you want
freedom. Time freedom and financia1 freedom. I don’t want
you to waste your time and money doing what I did (having all of those responsibilities)
looking for quality people to help you build your business, so I’m taking the liberty of
bringing them to your doorstep using my system.

Almost every single thing we teach you to do, can be outsourced
with a couple clicks of your mouse, right in your online office.

Sound Amazing? It should, because it is. Welcome to the 21st
Century. (Ain’t the internet cool?)

Perhaps you haven’t arrived yet? If not, it’s ok, you’re here now.

The online business world is a private world of the ultra wealthy.
Most don’t even know it exists, yet NO other industry in existence
is creating more wealth right NOW than this industry. Fact. This
is why I have a strict application process and do not work with
everyone.

If you want an organization that will work with anyone and
everyone, go join a M L M company. They take everyone with
a pulse. That’s why 99% make an average of $10.00 “per week.”

Yuck. Shudder. Run away, NOT for me! And hopefully not for you,
either.

My system WILL help you achieve a life of ultimate freedom
and “leverage” but only if you’re ready for it and ONLY if you ACT.

Stick With Your Resolutions

by Wolf Benedict on January 25, 2010

Just a friendly reminder to honor what you committed to at the beginning of the year. There is no more an important time to honor your resolutions than now.

Statistically speaking, most people quit around now or have already quit. Whether it is new eating habits, getting out of the house more, dropping cigarettes – this is the time to kick your efforts into the highest gear imaginable.

Here are a few questions you can ask yourself to keep you within the groove. Take 15 minutes out of your busy day and truly ask yourself these questions. Go get a pen and paper. Think on them for a few minutes and write your answers down.

What good is a resolution if you don’t follow through?

What will it cost me if I don’t stick with my resolution?

What will it cost me emotionally? Financially? Health-wise? Relationship-wise?

If I don’t stick with it and meet my goal, how will I feel?

If I DO stick with my resolution, how will I feel?

How will I be rewarded by my efforts?

These questions can yield powerful answers quickly. Write them down and read them to yourself every day upon waking up and before you go to sleep. You will be more than motivated to meet your resolution.

Above all, persist. Never give up!

Create Your Dream Income Using My Secret PROVEN Strategies

by Wolf Benedict on January 20, 2010

Who Else Wants to Learn How to Create a Multiple 6-Figure Income From Home, Using PROVEN Strategies Anyone Can Start Using Today?

We will get to that very shortly, but first, you must understand where I came from and how I achieved my marketing work at home dream below before I reveal the secret. This article is your ticket to how to make money online and is required reading. You will be inspired and enlightened! Do not miss this!

About Me

Hello, my name is Wolf Benedict, and I’m a full-time network marketer who works from home. I’m also a professional pianist and composer. I’ve scored one independent film and composed many pieces for piano. I enjoy reading, composing, writing, “interneting”, travelling and most of all, learning.

I’ve been in network marketing for the past 14 years, but had a wake up call which forced me to weigh my options and choose my financial destiny carefully.

This story is about how I found success working from home in the online marketing industry.

Perhaps the story is familiar – I’ve been involved in everything you can imagine. You name it, I’ve probably joined it! I’ve done the vitamin/self-care line in many different MLMs, “showed the plan” to family members – I even sold two Electrolux vaccuum cleaners to my mother (bless her heart) while in college.

I’ve done eBay, Forex, Stocks, Arbs, Inventory Management, Health Training, joined up with no less than 10 different network marketing and MLM companies (including the really big names you’ve heard of) over the course of the last 15 years. I partnered with someone else to create a 45 minute instructional DVD on how to create Damascus Steel knives. I’ve sold books on Amazon in droves and joined countless affiliate programs.

I’ve done much more than that, too, I just can’t remember them all, and I believe you’ve gotten the point by now. I have “been there, done that, got the t-shirt, and accidentally put it in the washer with bleach”! :-)

Yet I earned peanuts with most of these “Systems”. In fact, I spent more than I earned in most cases!

I was doing all of these activities while holding a full-time job which, while I couldn’t complain about it, just wasn’t a soul-shattering experience. In fact, at times, I would wonder if I was going to be stuck sitting at my desk, droning on for the next 30 years or so until retirement (401K always scared the s#!t out of me… it STILL gives me the creeps). It’s not an enlightening thought – thinking you are stuck in a job where you are basically a slave.

But basically, you name it, I joined it (even one of those awful envelope stuffing schemes (embarassing, but true!)). I became what I call a “Hopportunatist” – someone who hops from one opportunity to the next, thinking – hoping – that the financial answers I was looking for lay in the system I was joining.

That was my mistake – losing my focus when I got involved in something. Couple this with a lack of knowledge on marketing and having no role models to look to to guide me in the right direction.

But the bottom line was – the answer lay inside ME. It was ME I needed to work on.

If you get anything from my story, take that away with you. Do not underestimate what I just said. The answer lies INSIDE YOU RIGHT NOW.

I’ve spent literally tens of thousands of dollars in self-improvement, whether they were seminars, books, DVDs, tapes… you name it. And they all point to the same resource we all have – OURSELVES>

And I sincerely believe all of these years of searching, struggling, failing, spinning led me to this point where I can finally give back to others and share my success.

Things weren’t always as good as they are now. In fact, my wake up call came when I surprisingly got ladi off from work.

“My wake up call came when I surprisingly got laid off from work.”

It’s amazing, really. One morning, after nearly 7 years of service at my company, I woke up, went to work, was pulled upstairs and was told my job was being eliminated.

Just like that, poof. No more job.

And thank goodness I was laid off. Most people would offer their condolences. I would say they were crazy for being sorry I escaped financial incarceration and serfdom!

It was a rare gift, and was the best thing that happened to me. If I hadn’t been laid off, I would have continued to fool myself that I was serious about making money online and working full time from home. Our comfort zone can make things deadly. In other words, I was letting my relative comfort at work (being predictable) hold me back from pursuing my dreams of working full time from home.

I didn’t have such a strong incentive to work from home while I was working for someone else.

So I was forced to make a decision. And the subsequent decisions I’ve made have allowed me to enjoy working from home full-time and fulfill my dreams.

And there really is nothing like working from home on your OWN time rather than someone else’s schedule. I never knew that not only is money nice, but the time freedom is such a delicious feeling.

And it’s my goal to help you get to the point where you experience all the time and money freedom you could possibly want!

So that’s my story in a nutshell.

What I’m looking for…

I am looking for people who want a complete lifestyle overhaul.

I’m not just talking about someone who dabbles in a part-time activity with the HOPES they will make money, I’m looking for “movers and shakers.”

This is not “Get Rich Quick” or “Make a Gazillion Dollars in 30 Days”. If that describes you, I’d welcome you to close this browser or leave this website.

Comfort = Death

by Wolf Benedict on January 19, 2010

Are you comfortable? I hope not.

Yes, you read that right. I hope you are uncomfortable.

Why would I say such a thing? Simple really.

The more comfortable you are, the more you have settled. That’s my experience, that’s how I see it.

Now I’m not talking about that zone where you are feeling great snuggled under the covers with your hot cocoa next to the one you love. THAT kind of comfort is great and should be enjoyed.

I’m talking about the evil seductress of comfort within the bounds of laziness or FEAR. In other words, I’m talking about the stubborn refusal or unwillingness to step out of one’s COMFORT ZONE.

Are you putting off your goals because you are afraid of stepping out of your comfort zone?

If so, you failure is guaranteed – you have already given up, lost. Your comfort zone is a deadly, silent assassin ready to pounce on you at the end of your life with heaps  and piles of regret.

You can’t be successful without first pushing beyond your initial resistance, without taking that first step into the unknown.

I’d even go as far as to say that comfort equates to death, but not physical death – that is something that takes us all.

I’m talking about emotional or financial death. Relationship death. Social death.

That kind of stagnant, decaying “energy” that robs you of your life essence.

This is what “comfort” is in context of achievement.

Now that you see it just like that – is this something you want to settle for? Comfort?

I hope your answer is no.

And I hope I’ve made you uncomfortable…

The Best Online Business Opportunity Is…

by Wolf Benedict on January 18, 2010

In this article, I will help you develop a feel for the best online business opportunities out there.

Starting a home-based business is not an easy task. Any new entrepreneur will face many obstacles. If you are someone who wants to work from home and make money online, it is paramount you are guided in the right direction from the very beginning when choosing a business opportunity.

First, let’s set some basic expectations for making money online and working from home. These are realizations that can save many an entrepreneur from “expensive emotional expectations” – those kinds of expectations that lead to disappointment and ultimately, failure. Here they are:

1) Realize that that business opportunity you are eyeing is actually a business to be taken seriously. Beyond the hype and glitter of an eye-catching headline (typical of MLM companies) is a real work load in store for you. Yes, the hyped up headline you see is promising, but it’s only to get you salivating. It’s adrenaline, excitement – plain and simple.

Failing to realize this one point alone will lead you to disappointment or worse. You must get it into your head that you are here to start a business, not a hobby you dabble in and not a lottery ticket or free path to endless money. Business opportunities = a real business!

2) Overnight success stories are a hyped up myth. Sorry to break this to you, but those overnight success stories you hear about from those MLM companies are nothing but stories. They rarely go into detail about how much work and expense went into it before the “overnight” success became a reality. Enter with realistic expectations!

3) Nothing is free. You WILL spend money or your valuable time. I don’t care how buttered up, glitzy or promising the headline or salesletter is. The fact of the matter is you will have to spend money to earn money. And where you aren’t spending money you are spending time. It is essential to understand this.

Now that we have some realistic expectations as a foundation, let’s continue to see  the characteristics of worthwhile business opportunities:

1) The opportunity provides comprehensive training in your niche. Face it, you absolutely need proper training in your chosen opportunity if you have even the remotest wish of achieving a profitable outcome. It’s funny how people think you need training as an employee for a corporation but not necessarily for a home-based business. People have this erroneous notion that simply by joining a business opportunity that this is your golden ticket. It’s not.

If you opened a McDonald’s but received no training on how to operate the equipment, how to train employees, flip burgers, operate the registers, and create cashflow, you’d be a headless chicken, scrambling to serve customers and make your bottom line. Training is crucial.

2) You receive support from the person who brought you in. When you are new to something, it is inevitable that you will have questions. In fact, the #1 emotion many people feel when they join a business opportunity is overwhelm.

Your sponsor or upline should be ready and willing to help and lead you when you need it. You may have a marketing, technical, or billing question and you SHOULD be asking questions – it shows you care about your long-term success in your home-based business. Just remember to ACT on the answers given and avoid falling into “questionitis” or analysis paralysis – too many questions and not enough action.

3) In tandem with #1 above, it is ideal if the business opportunity offers webinars and conference calls. Attending these activities consistently has the cumulative effect of honing your skills and know-how, and this attracts new members to your downline. It is also very, very smart when you see it from the company’s point of view. They want to retain you as a successful producer or distributor, so it’s in their best interest to give you the best value in real-time training.

4) Compensation. Yes, this is #4 for a reason. Too many people look at this first, overlooking the first 3 points and then wonder why they fall into the 97% of people who don’t succeed with their home-based business opportunity. In any case, you ARE in the business to make money, so you should take a very good lo0k at the compensation plan. What percentage do they pay and how often do they pay out? Good questions to ask.

5) Technological flexibility. Can your opportunity integrate with popular services like Aweber or Getresponse, Google Analytics, or Facebook applications? These are essential marketing tools. Most network marketing business opportunity companies out there have integrative features, so you need not worry about it. Just be aware of WHICH platforms they endorse so you go in with proper tools and expectations.

6) Longevity. How long has this company been around? What has been their growth, and what is their future vision? Ask these questions to get a better feel of the company’s direction. There is no guarantee they will be here tomorrow, so ask right at the get go.

How a Gawky, Ugly, Scrawny Unassuming Man Rose to Become Legend

by Wolf Benedict on January 17, 2010

This blog post is about your resolutions. If you are like most people, you made resolutions earlier this year. A few weeks into the new year, most folks will start waning, lose interest, or quit on these resolutions.

This is your call to honor them, stick with them, and follow through.

Here’s a story in timeline format (taken from an unknown author) about one tall, scrawny, butt ugly guy who rose to become one of the most famous and influential men in history. It illustrates the power of persistence. Never give up.

1816 – His family was forced out of their home.

1818 – His mother died.

1831 – Failed in business.

1831 – Ran for state legislature – lost.

1832 – Lost his job – wanted to go to law school but couldn’t get in.

1833 – Borrowed some money from a friend to being a business and by the end of the year he was bankrupt. He spent the next 17 years of his life paying off this debt.

1834 – Ran for state legislature again – won.

1835 – Was engaged to be married, sweetheart died and his heart was broken.

1836 – Had a nervous breakdown and was in bed for six months.

1838 – Sought to become speaker of the state legislature – defeated.

1840 – Sought to become elector – defeated.

1843 – Ran for Congress - lost.

1846 – Ran for Congress again – this time he won – went to Washington and did a good job.

1848 – Ran for re-election to Congress – lost.

1849 – Sought the job of land officer in his home state – rejected.

1854 – Ran for Senate of the United States – lost.

1856 – Sough the Vice-Presidential nomination at his party’s national convention – got less than 100 votes.

1858 – Ran for U.S. Senate again – again he lost.

1860 - Elected President of the United States.

You know this man as Abraham Lincoln, one of history’s most influential presidents.

Now, imagine if he had given up somewhere along that timeline.

He didn’t have the benefit of hindsight into his life as we do. He didn’t know for sure if he was going to succeed. But he kept at it, despite all of the odds, delays and trials.

This gawky, ugly, pockmarked man who suffered a nervous breakdown, was defeated time after time and was even demoted in rank while serving in the Army – became President because he simply would not take no for an answer.

Use Lincoln’s example to stick with your resolutions. It will be impossible for success to elude you when you stick with it!

Stop Looking For An “Opportunity” – Do THIS Instead…

by Wolf Benedict on January 14, 2010

Let’s be real. Our minds run us, whether we like it or not.

I’m a big fan of psychology, social dynamics, how people behave, and how we can use our minds to improve the quality of our lives.

And the mind is a tricky little friend we have. It’s the one (when on auto-pilot) that tells us what we can and can’t do, it dictates our habits, feelings, how we interpret experiences.

The thing is, most of this “reactive” behavior is fully under our control if we just teach ourselves to do that.

Now the title of this post is “Stop Looking For An Opportunity” for a reason. Here is why…

In my years as a successful “netpreneur”, I’ve noticed the traits of people who succeed and those who fail. There are many traits, not just 1 or two as you may be tempted to believe from those “2 Secrets to Success In Making Money” type articles you see EVERYWHERE on the internet.

But here is ONE trait I’ve seen that separates the achievers from the non-believers:

Achievers create the opportunities and stick with them. Non-believers are always chasing the next best opportunity.

I used to belong to the latter class. I would hop from one opportunity to the next. I even coined a phrase – the “hopportunitist” – someone who didn’t realize the value of focus, consistency, diligence and discipline and would constantly go from opportunity to opportunity, hoping the grass was greener over the fence.

I was always looking for the “diamond in the rough” – the best OPPORTUNITY, rather than taking advantage of the “opportunity” I had in the moment.

Sure, that salesletter with the big obnoxious headline made the opportunity seem like the perfect solution to my financial woes. But I wasn’t really interested in the system, I was interested in purchasing COMFORT.

This is a huge distinction handed down to me by Mike Dillard, contemporary expert entrepreneur. He puts it a bit differently – he says most people aren’t interested in having a solution, they are only interested in purchasing hope.

And it’s true. The “opportunity” seekers are really only interested in purchasing hope, a sense of comfort, so they can fool themselves into thinking they have gotten something done. It’s just buying an illusion.

So the “opportunity seeking” mindset comes from the type of thinking that isn’t looking for long-term success. It’s a bit in league with the GRQs (I coined it “JERKS” because that’s how it’s pronounced :-) ) or the “Get Rich Quick” crowd.

If you have found you are a hopportunitist, allow me to save you years of frustration, confusion and financial lack by following this one simple technique…

STOP IT!

Stop looking for an “opportunity” ! Stop hopping from one “Next Big Thing” to the next Next Big Thing. Resist the glitzy, hyped up salesletters that promise you the world. They are worthless.

Instead, cultivate your own discipline, your own sense of value and make it consistent.

The best way I know of doing this comes through harnessing your inner pain, discomfort and malcontent. When you truly become fed up with yourself or your circumstances, when you’ve had enough, YOU WILL CHANGE. You won’t have a choice.

Sometimes it takes a person to hit rock bottom before they spring back up. In some ways I hope you hit rock bottom as I did, because it caused me to fly quickly in the other direction, into the arms of success.

It’s kind of like a rubberband – after you stretch it back so far, as far as it can go, it suddenly SNAPS back the other direction, propelling this tremendous energy forward.

And this is what happened to me. I finally realized that hopping from opportunity to opportunity wasn’t cutting it. It was simply a waste of time, money and emotional wherewithal.

The cure for Hopportunititis? Develop your discipline. How to develop discipline? Become fed up with undisciplined behavior!

Tony Robbins talks at length about the two forces that shape your life – pain and pleasure – and how you can use these forces for massive, positive change. You deserve to get ALL of his products. There’s a reason he’s the #1 Success Coach in the world. And part of success is becoming fed up – TOTALLY fed up – with failure.

So there you have it. Stop looking for opportunity after opportunity after opportunity, and instead cultivate your discipline. What you don’t achieve now you’ll regret on your deathbed.

This is what my system has taught me – discipline. What is discipline? It’s focus plus consistency. And discipline all by itself is success. You deserve to know what I know. Check it out here:

Jim Rohn put it best – you either feel the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. Which do you choose?
