I have come across a super blog post which i just had to share with you. I found this post on Internet Marketing Kingpin, Andrew Fox’s Blog, Follow The Foxy. Hey Andrew if you are reading this sorry hope you don’t mind me sharing your awsome tips with the world!!

Dec 17, 2008

Hello all!

First a sincere and happy holidays to every single one of
you. I’ve written a special holiday blog post with one aim
in mind…

To help you get what YOU want in 2009 and to share
some of the secrets that have helped me..

I’ve broken this down into the five golden rules for getting
rich

As we enter 2009 I will have been doing business online
for ten years.

Yes, as my friend Alex Goad called me I am very much an
‘Internet Dinosaur’ !

I wonder what that makes people like John Reese who
started back in 1994 (John dude, you must be from before
the ice age )

WHERE I’VE COME FROM AND WHAT MAKES MY
POINT OF VIEW WORTH LISTENING TO?

Turning 27 years old I’ve achieved what many people would
typically classify as the ‘dream life style’…

- A luxurious beachfront home

- Owned not one but two beautiful Ferrari’s, a
Porsche Turbo and nearly every other sports
car under the sun.

- My new acquisition this year was a stunning $1.5
million  yacht which was always a dream of mine.

Andrew Fox’s Yacht

In fact recently I hosted a very exclusive V.I.P marketing event
featuring the top names in our industry Chris & Ken (Day JobKiller
fame), Michael Cheney, Alex Jeffreys, Mo Latif and Jason James just to
name a few…

Here’s a few pictures of the event.

Later that night I had hired a catering company to effectively turn
my house into a 5 star restaurant for the evening. 

We were served an excellent full three course meal.

 ———————————————————————————
GOLDEN RULE OF  GETTING RICH #1 – Engineering
your mind the right way- the cornerstone of it all
———————————————————————————

After the event I had people asking “Well was it worth it -
do you think you will make money from it”

Now here is the *KEY* difference between me and the
majority of people out there.

The way people’s brains are traditionally engineered
is as follows..

“If I give you money/my time what are you going to
do for me”

And this mindset goes deep into everything we do in
our daily lives from..

Getting a  job – what are my benefits, my perks, my
salary

Dating – I’ll take you out for dinner if you spend time
with me, if I gain favour with you

Now think about this for a moment…

What happens if you were to do the opposite?

When I take people out on my yacht I don’t say
“Please give me money for fuel”

When I had a great bunch of people round for
the catering event after I didn’t say “Please give
me $50 a head”

I focused solely on ONE thing only..

To make sure people enjoyed the day and to
give back to everyone.

To have fun, to network and to chill out.

And I have to thank someone for that.

Over the years there’s been one guy who’s
been awesome to me – his name is Yanik
Silver. A close friend and mentor.

Over the years he’s..

- Taken me on Aston Martin track days

- Paid for countless luxury dinners

- Introduced me to his network of contacts

- Helped me speak at the age of 21 years
old in Las Vegas at Carl Galleti’s marketing
conference.

- Invited me as a VIP guest at his seminars.

Yet never once has he asked for a single cent…he’s
one of the most giving people I’ve ever met.

So if we revert back to the question..

After the event I had people asking “Well
was it worth it – do you think you will
make money from it?”

I can safely say now that if I ever need advice, 
a JV promotion from ANY of the guys attending
my event they would bend over backwards to
help.

If I skype Michael Cheney, call Chris McNeeney,
msn Alex Jeffreys, race Yanik Silver in an
Aston track day ( and whip his butt ) these
guys will ALWAYS answer.

You gotta program your mind to GIVE!

Help people get more out of life, and trust me
it will come back 100 times over.

————————————————————————-
GOLDEN RULE OF  GETTING RICH #2-  Break
the restraints, follow the plan and set a date to
accomplish your goals
————————————————————————

The trap that most people fall into is the  “Next week
I’m gonna do this, next month…”

Everyone is guilty of this.

Including myself!

For the last few months I’ve been meaning to add
myself to FaceBook, set up a Twitter account and
get in the groove of Web 2.0

But I’m just been darn lazy!

However I will have done this by the end of January
2009 at the latest.

John Reese just wrote a very interesting blog post
about ‘incremental’ steps to success.

To lose 10 llbs you must lose the first lb first.

To make a million dollars it all starts with the first
$1.

It’s a very simple philosophy but incredibly
powerful!

For example if you want a Ferrari, it may not be
the first sports car you ever buy,  you can start
smaller.

I would like a $10 million luxury yacht but at
the moment I’ve just got a $1.5 million one
about (aww life sucks eh … )

But you see the point.

We all have to start somewhere, so aim and PLAN
to have things done.

Set a date and stick to it as closely as you can.

—————————————————————
GOLDEN RULE OF  GETTING RICH #3- 
Follow the ‘right’ people and learn from real
life mentors
—————————————————————

I’ve always had a very simple philosophy in life.

“Follow the people that are successful in what you
want to achieve”

For example if you want to learn how to invest
in property, listen to someone who has done it
over YEARS the hard way, made mistakes and
learn from their advice. I only listen to
people I trust 110%.

If you want to learn how to own Ferrari’s and
luxury yachts then follow me (I’ll do my best to
get you there )

There nothing more I hate than ‘fly by nighters’
who try to claim they are an expert in something
but really don’t have a clue and are just trying to
empty your wallet.

In our industry one of the best guys who has
generated so many success stories is Mike Filsaime.
A great friend and a guy who releases some VERY
high quality material.

You can check out his ‘Instant Affiliate’ website
package aimed at newbies here

  ———————————————————————————
GOLDEN RULE OF  GETTING RICH #4 – Be
willing to invest in yourself and take action
on what you learn.
———————————————————————————

Over the recent months I have  purchased..

 - Nitro Quattro system  -About how to increase
your customer value.

 - John Cartlons Simple Writing system

 - Frank Kern’s Mass Control Monthly – Just a pile
of rubbish but very entertaining  (Just kidding
Franks stuff is really on the cutting edge and worth
every penny)

Here’s the most important lesson to
take away..

Even if I put the material in my computer
watch it and think “Whoah that’s cool Frank
how you sent that email and made $50,000″.

IT WILL NOT MAKE ME A SINGLE PENNY!

You need to take action on what you learn
and implement it in your business.

If you buy an ebook on how to make money
with Google Adwords then take action on it
and try it out!

Which leads me on to the ULTIMATE lesson..

  ————————————————————————-
GOLDEN RULE OF GETTING RICH #5 – Take
responsibility for your actions and answer
to yourself
————————————————————————–

This is one thing that REALLY bugs me.

And it’s probably the #1 difference between
people who are successful and those that seem
to get no where.

When you buy a new product…

Or get a new piece of software…

You need to take action and use/read the
item you have just purchased to get a
result.

It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t work.

In fact the scary  thing is nearly all
entrepreneurs  try thing that DONT work!

But they take responsibility say “Ok cool -
I’ve tried that it’s not working so lets move
on”

Rather than the attitude “Nothing ever
works for me – I’m always going to fail”

Even at 15 years old I always told my
school teachers “I am going to have a
Ferrari, I am going to be a millionaire”.

They laughed and thought I was crazy.

But I took responsibility  for myself and what
many thought was nothing more than a
pipe dream turned into reality.

Because I accepted the consequences of my
actions and when things don’t work out,
I held my head high and kept going.

  ——————————————————————–
GOLDEN RULE OF  GETTING RICH #6 -
Buy all of my products and recommendations 
———————————————————————

Do you know how much a $1.5 million yacht costs to
fill with fuel

I need some help with that! Just chuck me over a
few dollars.

Ha ha. Just kidding with ya.

Well here is my list of goals i said i was working on. I know January is already underway but that’s not going to stop me from still reaching these goals. So here they are:

• Purchase a domain name.
• Host my own blog using above domain.
• Get my blog up and running smoothly again.
• Get traffic through my blog.
• Make my first online biz sale.

For me I can see some very trying but also very exciting times ahead. I look forward to being able to share all my experiences and obstacles i have to over come over the folling weeks. So stay tuned!!

I got the idea for this post from “Dean Holland’s Blog“, and i feel this is a really great idea. For one you can see what it is you plan to achieve and also are more motivated to accomplish your goals due to the fact that you have posted them up for others to see. And I encourage you to do the same.

Each month i will add a new post, out lining my goals for that month and how i plan to achieve them, and also go over the goals i set for the previous month and how i went with meeting those goals and where i may have failed so you don’t have to.

So now i am off to set out my goals and i hope you look forward to seeing them posted up there as much as i am at achieving them.

Over the past couple of days i have been checking out a lot of blogs similar to mine, and have found that some of them i really liked, some i found a little boring, but all had one thing in common. Do you wanna know what that one thing was? Well, i’m going to tell you, it was that on all those blogs i found something on each of them that i thought was clever, or a good topic to write about, or an idea for a widget i hadn’t thought of, basically they all had something that i could take with me and learn from or improve my blog with.

What I’m trying to say is that in an online community that is bound by no limits and ever changing, we need to realise that the best way to succeed at what we are trying to achieve is to be open with our ideas and knowledge.

See if it wasn’t for my best friend sharing a internet marketing (IM) niche he found i would probably not be here talking to you right now, i would probably be still slaving away in a job i didn’t like, working long hours and making little or no money at all. But he didn’t and now i am here. And as a nice reward I have been able to assist him with getting his IM biz and my own up and running to a point where in 6mths or so we should both be able to kick back and hopefully semi-retire. Now don’t get me wrong you can’t just make money overnight, but we have set ourselves a goal and working as a team rather than against each other, we hope to be able to achieve our goals sooner rather than later.

Really it’s quite simple, why take the knowledge and ideas of one person when, say the knowledge of three or four is so much more. For example, you may want to post a video or publish an eBook for distribution on your blog. Now you have to find time to write an eBook (or re-brand one), then also make a video and work out how to post it, and that is going to take you a lot of your valuable time. But when you are willing to share your ideas you can also share your work load. While one works on the eBook, the other can be working on how to post a video and make a video.

So you can see a lot can be gained from being willing and open to share your ideas and knowledge and in the end we can all succeed. I know i am willing, so anytime you need a hand just ask. I will always be happy to help.

What is your ultimate dream? Maybe it is to own a big mansion or the ultimate sports car? Drop me a line I would really love to know?

Well anyway none of that is gonna happen unless I can find a way to motivate myself. Trust me if anyone would know about not being motivated it’s me, i suffer from ADHD (Attention Deficite Hyper-Active Disorder). I always have a million projects or ideas that i start but never finish. But not any more, over the years i have found that the best and most simple way to find motivation for me has been to use a “To Do List.” Basically it comes down to goals.

I find when I’m setting my goals I need to think BIG, but just as impoprtantly small. Ultimatley I want to reach my BIG goal (My Dream!!!), but in order to do this I need to break this BIG goal down into smaller goals or steps.  Once I have a list of goals (big and small), I set myself a realistic time frame to achieve my goals. Working with this time frame now provides me with an overall view of what I need to do to achieve my dream.

I know looking at it, it seems very overwhelming but that is where my to-do list comes in. Everyday I set myself something to do which will help me take a step closer to achieving my dream and keep lists of each step that i take, marking off my main goals as I achieve them. Now the most important thing I find i need to remember in all of this is, that no matter how far I come even if I don’t reach my goal by the time I would have liked to, I am now that much closer to achieving it. How exciting my dreams and yours can be within reach!!!

As you may have noticed i have made some improvements to my blog and will contiue to update it regularly. Although i am a newbie to blogging and WordPress.com I am a very fast learner and have picked up some of the even more difficult processes involved with setting up a blog or website.

If you find you need some assistance I would be happy to help you with any problems you may have. Also check out my new page “Helpful Tips” to find answers to your problems. Feel free anytime to drop me a line with your questions or problems.

A little about me. I’m 28 years old, i live in Sydney, Australia and have worked in a variety of different jobs, actually probably done just about any job you can think of, well almost anyway. I have tried working for myself, running my own Handyman business for several years, only to have to invest large amounts of capital, my time and then after all that I still had to do book work and find time for family and friends. That’s no way to live or make a living for yourself!!

In my short newbie life i have already learnt an abundance of knowledge, skills and secrets to the internet marketing business and establishing an online presence. Over the coming weeks, months, and hopefully even years, i hope to be able to share with you all my stories of success, secrets to turning your cents-to-dollars and making a living working in the comfort of your own home.
