<p>Your passion has to be so strong that you can feel the life force literally stir inside of you when you just think about how you are going to the world.</p>
<p>Are you really giving 100%? I mean&#8230; REALLY giving 100%</p>
<p>100% is everything you got, then some.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s going over above and beyond what you set for yourself, it&#8217;s jumping over the raised bar then raising it again.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t ever settle, you can always make a bigger impact on the world&#8230; a bigger change.</p>
<p>You know that you can do better, so stop thinking about doing better and &#8220;Just do it&#8221;&#8230;</p>
<p>Nike&#8217;s slogan isn&#8217;t &#8220;Just try it&#8221;! there is no multi-billion dollar company that &#8220;Just tries it&#8221; they all &#8220;Just do it!&#8221; </p>
<p>This isn&#8217;t me &#8220;trying&#8221; to get you motivated, it&#8217;s what you need to hear at this point in your life otherwise you wouldn&#8217;t be reading it.</p>
<p>Stop playing games, stop waiting for life to come to you&#8230; Go to it.</p>
<p>If your waiting on something don&#8217;t wait for it, go do what you can with what you have to make a difference and make a positive impact in the world until it come&#8217;s to you.</p>
<p>Be somebody whose legacy starts now, not when you die because when you die you may have let your legacy pass you by.</p>
<p>Your legacy is not to puff up your ego to show what you did in the world, it&#8217;s to inspire future generations to find the greatness within themselves to do the same.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>I was listening to an audio book on the trip down to georgia and I heard a mindset that I absolutely love so I want to share it with you here on my blog.</p>
<p>I am sure you have all heard the quote &#8220;Whether you think you can or can&#8217;t you&#8217;re right&#8221; before by Henry Ford right?</p>
<p>The audio book I was listening to said that the same quote applies to failure and success.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>&#8220;Whether you think you failed or succeeded you are right&#8221; </strong></p>
<p>Think about it, it&#8217;s 100% true!</p>
<p>Think about your business for a minute, what defines it as &#8220;successful&#8221;?</p>
<p>most likely it&#8217;s a monetary goal.  Most business owners define their business as successful when it make&#8217;s money because that what businesses are supposed to do right?</p>
<p>Your business should make money but if it&#8217;s not yet that doesn&#8217;t mean you&#8217;ve &#8220;failed&#8221; your just learning.</p>
<p>There are so many parts of a business, some extremely successful businesses are failing miserably in certain categories.</p>
<p>Your business is what you see it as, so see it as a success even if it isn&#8217;t yet.</p>
<p>See it as a success.  &#8220;Act as if&#8221;!</p>
<p>When you act as if it is a success it will start to come to you easier.  Things will flow smoother and the areas you are struggling in your business will start to fade away because you are ready to succeed.</p>
<p>Your business may succeed in having great value and a great offer but you are not succeeding in bringing it into the marketplace yet.  If that is the case you need to work on marketing you value and getting your offer out there.</p>
<p>Maybe you are a master marketer but you don&#8217;t have a product or service or anything of value that you can sell.  Maybe you can partner with someone to create the product or service and you just do the marketing.</p>
<p>Whatever situation you may be in there is always some success in your business regardless of how failure branded it looks.</p>
<p>Find your success, find your strengths.  Then find your weaknesses and find your failures&#8230; Find other people to work with you or start learning them yourself and you will see a big shift in your business.  Business moguls do so well because they have learned persistence and tenacity.</p>
<p>Keep thinking about the successes that you already have and see your business as a success even if it is not yet.</p>
<p>Remember: &#8220;Act as if&#8221;</p>
<p>Your business is a success in some way so don&#8217;t limit your thinking to failure and doubt of it&#8217;s future success.</p>
<p>You are a success, your business is a success.  It will get better and better as time goes on.</p>
<p>Just believe it and it will happen!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m out for the day though! I&#8217;m in Georgia and need to get a break!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>There is something unique about the wtc method.  I have spent countless hours and money on Learning to make money online, But none of them sum it up like the wtc method.  Let me explain&#8230;</p>
<p>When I first started out I tried a lot of different things.  I tried ebay, clickbank, affiliate marketing, adsense, matrix pyramid schemes, I even tried cash gifting!</p>
<p>The List goes on and on.</p>
<p>The wtc method can be broken down within this blog post.</p>
<p>The first part of the wtc method is the w of course.  The &#8220;W&#8221; stands for website.  You need a website, plain and simple.  You can make money online through affiliate marketing without having your own website but having your own website helps because it pre-sells the website visitor on that product or service that you are promoting.  A website is the first step to making money online.  If you want to build a sustainable business that lasts you will always have to create a website.  That is always the first step.</p>
<p>The second step in the wtc method is the t.  The &#8220;T&#8221; stands for traffic.  You need traffic to come to your website in order to sell your product(s) or service(s)! You don&#8217;t need to own a product.  For example I don&#8217;t own a product that is for sale but I do make money from affiliate marketing.  I promote things like hosting and internet marketing home study courses.  YOU NEED traffic in order to be successful.  There are plenty of ways to get traffic.  Search engine optimization is one of the best because it&#8217;s targeted traffic.  You can also get traffic through articles and social media sites like youtube, facebook and twitter.</p>
<p>The Thirst part of the wtc method is the c.  The &#8220;C&#8221; stands for Conversion! Conversion is simply the act of converting a website visitor to a sale or lead or some form of mulah&#8230; the money&#8230; the paper&#8230; the cheddar&#8230; You get the picture. <img src='http://davidbeking.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt="icon smile The Beauty Behind the wtc method..." class='wp-smiley' title="The Beauty Behind the wtc method..." /> </p>
<p>You need to learn some basic copywriting and sales material in order to effectively learn how to convert traffic into a sale or lead.  One of the things that I highly recommend that every website owner has is a blog and email newsletter.  By having a blog and email newsletter your website visitors get to know you and you can build that relationship.  By building that relationship you will make more money when you do an email promotion to your list or on your blog.</p>
<p>Right now I use Getresponse email marketing solutions.  You can find more about them here: <a href="http://davidbeking.com/getresponse#utm_source=feed&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=feed" >http://Davidbeking.com/getresponse</a></p>
<p>If you are brand new and you want a blog I would recommend wordpress dream theme.  It&#8217;s a extremely customizable wordpress theme that I am considering using on my blog here.  You can find more about that here: <a href="http://davidbeking.com/wpdreamtheme#utm_source=feed&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=feed"  target="_blank">http://Davidbeking.com/wpdreamtheme</a></p>
<p>I know for a fact that an email newsletter and a blog are great ways to continue building a relationship with your customers and website visitores.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a great way to be in constant contact with them to remind them that your still here <img src='http://davidbeking.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt="icon smile The Beauty Behind the wtc method..." class='wp-smiley' title="The Beauty Behind the wtc method..." /> </p>
<p>Whatever level you are on in your business I encourage you to follow the wtc method.</p>
<p>Website &gt; Traffic &gt; Conversion</p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t get much simpler, Just learn one at a time then move to the next step.</p>
<p>After you have got a little experience in each area I encourage you to use what&#8217;s called &#8220;Cani&#8221; and improve on them.</p>
<p>Cani stands for&#8230;</p>
<p>C-constant</p>
<p>A-And</p>
<p>N-Neverending</p>
<p>I-Improvement</p>
<p>If you keep working at it you will make it to the point where you can work from home full time.</p>
<p>Just stay tuned into my blog and newsletter! And Make sure to be at my live show every week at <a href="http://davidbeking.com/live#utm_source=feed&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=feed"  target="_blank">http://Davidbeking.com/live</a> so that you can get your questions answered!</p>
<p>Have an awesome night! Enjoy it!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Why watch winners win?</p>
<p>that was the question I asked myself today when I thought about watching the Michigan state spartans play indiana in an ncaa basketball game.</p>
<p>I thought to myself&#8230; &#8220;I know that they are going to win, so why waste time?&#8221;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s funny because I&#8217;m a big fan of the msu spartan basketball team.</p>
<p>But when you know the outcome it&#8217;s not too exciting.  It would be more exciting to see a team that is not even ranked beat Msu, Uconn or north carolina.</p>
<p>It holds more attention.</p>
<p>It is more incredible and unexpected to see something unexpected happen.</p>
<p>Why do you think &#8220;rags to riches&#8221; stories are so widely known?</p>
<p>you have movies, books and just W.O.M. stories about rags to riches.</p>
<p>But when it comes to some of the average to rich people like bill gates, steve jobs and the google guys&#8230;</p>
<p>you only know that they were in college&#8230; they dropped out and built these massive companies.</p>
<p>I recently saw the movie slumdog millionaire and it was one of the most amazing movies that i have ever seen.  the cinematography and story were amazing.</p>
<p>I highly recommend that you see the movie!</p>
<p>Back to the blogging! when something happens that is unexpected or highly unlikely it is a bigger deal!</p>
<p>think about it&#8230;</p>
<p>Movies like the pursuit of happyness&#8230; Notice the &#8220;Y&#8221; and movies like slumdog millionaire, 8 mile, get rich or die tryin, the list goes on and on&#8230;</p>
<p>when someone does something drastic it get&#8217;s attention.</p>
<p>something crazy and unexpected, it grows virally and when more people tell it and talk about it you get something called &#8220;social proof&#8221; which is helpful when it&#8217;s a movie or book!</p>
<p>So in your marketing be sure to show the drastic things that have happened in your business, in your life.</p>
<p>Make it outrageous!</p>
<p>Why watch winners win?</p>
<p>Winners always win!</p>
<p>If a loser wins&#8230; there is something new worth looking into in the mind of a prospect.</p>
<p>The loser doesn&#8217;t need to necesarrily be a &#8220;loser.&#8221;  But maybe someone who is not known as a success.</p>
<p>So make sure in your writing, blogging, videos and marketing to &#8220;keep the game close&#8221;</p>
<p>That&#8217;s more intriguing than sharing all of your successes.</p>
<p>We all fail&#8230; We are all human.</p>
<p>A close game is more attention, more attention = more readers, and more readers = more growth through word-of-mouth&#8230; all the while making you more money.</p>
<p>I know that this blog post doesn&#8217;t make too much sense particularily to your business or industry.</p>
<p>But I&#8217;m sure you can think of some ways (be creative and innovative) to draw and keep attention through entertainment or more interaction&#8230;</p>
<p>That&#8217;s what web 2.0 is all about! and web 3.0 is going to be more about!</p>
<p>Cheers!</p>
