True Wealth

This is the most critical element of creating true wealth, but very few people (if any) talk about it.
I don’t like to hold back and I want to be completely honest with you guys, so here goes nothing…

Your Unconscious Performance Limit (to Earn More Money)
October 19, 2009 | 9 Comments
Have you wondered why you make the money that you do?
Without giving it much thought, you could say that the money you earn is a function of the skills you’ve acquired over the years, your experience and choice of career. That makes sense at least somewhat, but it does bring up some bigger questions, like:
- Why did you pick that career?
- Why have you progressed quicker or slower than others in the same position?
- What has motivated you to become more (or less) skillful at your job?
- Why do some “lucky people” earn more money while others do not?
Over the years I’ve constantly been looking for answers to these questions. A billionaire could go out and make a few million dollars today, while another perfectly able person struggles to put food on the table.
There is a huge gap. Some earn far more money than others, but why?
Earn More Money
Here’s an example that really hit home for me. You can take a seasoned engineer that earns $50k per year. You could also take another engineer with the same experience (in the same location) and he could easily earn up to $100k per year. Doesn’t make sense, does it? There is this huge gap.
Take my personal experience for instance. When I started working as an engineer I was earning $42K per year. It was my junior year and I was just starting out, so it was good money. I was renting a place for $300 a month and had very few expenses. I was living it up. Life was good.
The after a couple of years I moved to Toronto and started earning $58k per year - a considerable jump, but with more job responsibility. As I got better at my job, I eventually made more money. Every 2-3 years I made considerable jumps in my income. This made me feel good because I knew that I was worth the money, but it was a long time coming - over a period of 7 years in total.
Then something weird happened. It was November 2008 and I decided to leave my job. At the time I was grossing $70K per year. I couldn’t explain it, but as I was leaving my “secure job” I was offered a role as an engineering consultant. My income skyrocketed by another 43%!!! Click here to read more…

This a review of Yaro Starak’s course Blog Mastermind. Blog Mastermind is a program that teaches people how to make money with their blogs. I joined Blog Mastermind on November 1, 2008 and in only 7 short months I earned my first $1,000 in a single month. Not too shabby, me thinks.

How to Not Make Money Blogging
I started my blog in May 2007 and blogged for just over a year. At the end of that year I was earning $30 per month; all of it from Google Adsense which wasn’t worth calling home about. I was stuck with a tiny trickle every month because I was faced with two challenges:
- I didn’t know how to drive traffic to my blog
- I didn’t know how to monetize and make money from my blog
You see, you can make money blogging. Some people don’t seem to think so, but you can if you have the right strategy and model. I’m living proof of it and there are dozens of others who make money from their blogs. But before you even start thinking about making money, you’ve got to understand how to drive traffic and how to monetize that traffic.
Enter Yaro Starak.
Yaro is an Australian expert blogger. I met Yaro for the very first time in Toronto in August 2008. At that point I had been following his Newsletter, Blog Traffic Tips for about 8 months. After meeting him in person and receiving massive value from his Newsletter I signed up for his program, Blog Mastermind.
What is Blog Mastermind?
Basically, it’s a program that helps you make money from your blog. But it’s more than just about making money. Yaro teaches you a step by step process to help you build a sustainable online business using your blog so that you can earn multiple sources of income 24 hours a day x 7 days a week x 365 days a year.
Does that sound like something you would be interested in?
If so, then you’ll want to keep reading. There are two important challenges to overcome when earning money from your blog: how to drive traffic and how to monetize that traffic.
How to Drive Traffic to Your Blog
You can’t earn money from your blog unless you have traffic and like I said earlier it took me over a year of struggling on my own to figure that one out. I had great content, but I just didn’t have a big enough audience reading my blog.
In Blog Mastermind, Yaro covers six strategies of driving traffic to your blog:
- Lesson 11: Marketing Through Conversations
- Lesson 12: Leveraging Content For Traffic Part 1 - Forums
- Lesson 13: Leveraging Content For Traffic Part 2 - Article Marketing & Blog Carnivals
- Lesson 14: Leveraging Content For Traffic Part 3 - Guest Writing
- Lesson 15: Search Engine Optimization For Blogs
I’ve used all of these strategies to varying degrees, but if I had to pick my favorite - it would be guest writing (Lesson 14).
Guest writing is when you create content for other prominent blogs or Newsletters in your niche. The owner of the blog or Newsletter publishes your content while you receive traffic and the audience (or readers) receive valuable content. It’s a win-win-win strategy and one of the reasons it’s my favorite.
But that’s not the only reason. Guest articles are a powerful way to drive huge streams of traffic to your blog in a short period of time. I highly recommend this approach for anyone who wants to make money from their blog. In my opinion, guest writing is the 20% of action that creates 80% of your results. In other words it’s effective action. You can see an example guest article I wrote here: Would You Rather Be Right or Happy?
Writing guest articles can be time consuming, but when you get good at it, you can drive thousands of new readers to your blog and add hundreds of new subscribers to your email list in just over a few days. I’ve done this on a few different occasions.

How Much Money Do You Think You’re Worth?
June 1, 2009 | 7 Comments
The answer is different for different people, but as you’ll hear from this Harvard University study, you can break “worthiness” down into two groups. One group earns lots of money and the other group doesn’t earn very much.
Which one are you in?

I’m giving away two programs, some of T. Harv Eker’s best stuff to those people who are the successful winners of my comment contest. These two training programs are valued at $297 each and include recordings from Harv’s live workshops. Keep reading to see contest details.
Here are the two Enlightened Wealth Training Programs I’m giving away:
1st Place Giveaway: Enlightened Wealth Training - Money and Business
The program is a 10 CD Set recording of T. Harv Eker’s live workshops including:
- Secrets to Financial Freedom
- Creating a Promotional Message I
- Creating a Promotional Message II
- Master vs. Mediocrity
- Double-Edged Business Strategy
- Secrets of Street Smart Negotiating I
- Secrets of Street Smart Negotiating II
- Habits of Success
- High-Powered Marketing I
- High-Powered Marketing II
- The Secrets of Leverage
2nd Place Giveaway: Enlightened Wealth Training - Personal and Spiritual Development
The program is a 10 CD Set recording of T. Harv Eker’s live workshops including:
- The Inner Game of Life
- Taming Your Inner Voice
- The Traits of Power
- The Law of Purpose
- Masterminding
- The Law of Positive Focus
- The Law of Higher Vision
- The Power of Integrity
- Strike While the Iron is Hot
- Joy & Purpose vs. Fear & Obligation
- The Power of Self-Approval
- Taming the Mind
- No Regrets
Why Am I Doing This?
Am I just a nice guy? Well yes, but there is more to it than that.
I know these programs are valuable because I own both of them and have listened to them. Harv knows what he’s talking about. Both programs provide rich content and the best part is that you’ll actually hear live recordings from some of Harv’s high-priced workshops. This includes training from Guerrilla Business School, Life Directions and Enlightened Warrior to name a few.
The second reason I’m doing this is because I would like to build a bigger community at my blog with comments. It’s unfortunate, but I’ve heard from A-List Bloggers that only 1% of visitors will actually comment on a blog - a really low number.
Why commenting? I love when people comment on my blog because it connects me to the outside world. One of the reasons I started this blog was to generate a discussion - an ongoing discussion that involves you - the reader. Besides, if I’m the only one talking, what’s the point?
I also love comments because it tells me what you value, what interests you and what’s important to you. And when I know what’s important to you, I can then provide more text, video and audio content on those specific topics, which ultimately helps you.

“Do not try to figure out how to achieve your goal. It’s not part of the basic or super achievement process.” ~ Stuart Lichtman
I just started reading and applying the concepts in Stuart Lichtman’s book: How to Get Lots of Money for Anything, Fast about two and a half weeks ago. I was so excited by the results so far that I had to share them with you in this video.
This is a book review of How to Get Lots of Money for Anything, Fast by Stuart Lichtman and Joe Vitale. This book is designed to help people make money fast by showing your unconscious mind exactly how to let you achieve what you consciously want.

Here’s My Video: How to Get Lots of Money for Anything, Fast!
Let’s Dig a Little Deeper into How to Get Lots of Money for Anything, Fast!
Here’s a little more about the book and what you can expect from Stuart Lichtman. Stuart teaches what he refers to as Cybernetic Transposition. Cybernetic Transposition is the process of empowering your mind to use one success and transpose that success into other areas of your life. Here is Stuart’s explanation of the process:
“If you have been successful in gardening, or playing golf, or running a household, or learning to drive a car, or anything else - as long as you are able to understand yourself as a success (not a world-class success, not an overwhelming success, but merely a success at all) in that one area - then you can be successful in another area.” ~ Stuart Lichtman

How to Create the Abundance Mindset
April 30, 2009 | 4 Comments
Give away what you got.
It’s not that complicated, really.
But let’s think for a minute; what do a great number of people do instead?
When someone has a great idea, they hoard that idea. They don’t give it away. They shelter and protect it. They keep it to themselves in fear that someone else might take it. They think, “I better save that idea for later.” They don’t share their ideas or give them away - they keep them.
Well, let’s think - why would you do that?
The problem isn’t that your ideas aren’t any good. It’s not even because your ideas aren’t worthy or that you aren’t worthy - because you are. The problem is your thinking. You think that if you give one idea away that you won’t come up with more great ideas. And that fear has got you living in the lake of lack.
Yup, you heard me right. Instead, start by giving what you got.
Are you short on time?
Some people are always running out of time - like it was cash or some commodity. They’re always in a panic to get stuff done. They’re time vampires. They literally devour their time and suck the life out of themselves - until there is no time left.
These time vampires live in the lake of lack. The don’t give away their time because they don’t think there is “enough time” to give. And when you don’t think there is enough, you’re coming from scarcity or lack.
So, how do you break the pattern?
You’ve got to be willing to give from where you are.

5 Part Mini Course on Visualization

“For every gift you’ve opened over the years, there are hundreds that you’ve never unwrapped and taken out of the package. This unused potential hides there, just waiting to play a role in your quantum leap.” ~ Price Pritchett
Why is there unused potential?
There is unused potential because of subconscious programming. The great majority of us only work with a fraction of our potential because of this built-in programming.
Subconscious programming will limit your results because your conscious mind is saying one thing (words or a written goal) and your subconscious mind (emotions) are doing another. It’s like driving your car at full speed with the brakes on.
When you begin to align the conscious and subconscious minds with your goals, you harmonize and begin to use your full potential. You’re still applying the same pressure to the gas, but now you let go of the breaks while you drive.
Creating alignment between your conscious and subconscious mind is an important step to realizing your goals. You can create this alignment by learning how to effectively visualize.

I Can’t Decide

This article is the seventh and final article in a series on How to Triple Your Income as a Consultant.
If you want to get up to speed, here are the previous articles posted over the last two weeks:
- How to Triple Your Income - 6 Pillars
- Are You Saving Your Company Time or Money?
- Get Paid More: Earn the Right
- Effective Action and The 80/20 Rule
- How to Increase Your Attractiveness
- Will Vision Help You Escape the Rat Race?
I knew I wanted to quit my job for over a year, but I did nothing about it. Why? Because I was afraid, I was scared what might happen if my business was a failure. The fear of failure kept me paralyzed for over a year.
I Can’t Decide
The words, “I can’t” are the most paralyzing in the English language.
