“Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.”

-Robert Collier

Have you ever read the book by David Allen called: “Getting Things Done”? If you have that might be the reason you found this article.

I have been struggling personally with productivity and procrastination. I can’t tell you how many days I decided to get up and get things done only to fall short of the prize. After so many defeats you realize that you are doing something wrong. When I finally hit that point I turned to David Allen’s technique of “Mind like Water.”

Mind like Water basically means an all around calm, relaxing feeling towards whatever might come your way. Like water, you are supposed to be able to handle any size rock that comes your way. If you have noticed, when you throw a rock into water it responds accordingly, by rippling. After a few seconds it is back to the way it was originally; calm. This is the way you and I should react to “rocks” in the water.

When we come face to face with a situation that ruffles our feathers our mind should go right back to the calm, water like state. This is one of the key techniques taught by David Allen and what has helped me profusely.

I have learned so much over the last week that I cannot begin to tell you how good it feels. I have ALMOST everything organized and have really started to apply my mind like water technique to my business. I had soooooo many things on my mind it took me over three hours to empty it all. After a while though a serene, quiet feeling came over me and I felt like a thousand pounds had been lifted off my back.

I talk a lot about “Mental Self Defense” on my blog and one of the arts that is practiced there is the “Mind Like Water” approach to business and life.

If you feel that you are not getting things done the way they should be done or you just feel like you have too much on your mind, study the mind like water approach to life. It has helped me and it can DEFINITELY help you.

“We were not created to be eaten by anxiety, but to walk erect, free, unafraid in a world where there is work to do, truth to seek, love to give and win.”

Do you ever think to yourself, “If I buy a self defense product, what should it be?” Now I know you have more of a life than just sitting around thinking of what self defense product to buy but bare with me here. This is actually a very important decision. You need to know what to buy and what to look for in regards to your safety. There are several different products out there but which one should you choose? This is where I come in.

I am not going to give you specifics here but I am going to show you what to look for and the best way to pick your weapon of choice.

1.) Make sure what ever you pick your comfortable with. Make sure it is something you have either used before or know how to operate, this is important. If you buy something new thats OK. The only thing you have to make sure you do is practice with it and get used to its operation. For instance, if you buy pepper spray and have never used it, buy two, one for practice and one for safety. They only cost about $10.00 a piece and well worth the investment. Take one in the back yard and spray it a couple times. Set up a target or something, and spray the hell out of it. Just ten minutes of practice will give you everything you need to break out the furry if the situation arises.

2.) Make sure it is something that will easily fit into a purse or pocket. Big is not better here. I can use a 4oz. bottle of pepper spray on someone and it would have the same effect as if I punched them in the face. If it’s small it will go with you everywhere and you are more likely not to forget it.

3.) Finally make sure it is a good product. If you want a good self defense product you should make sure it is actually good. Don’t buy cheap crap from a flea market and don’t buy self defense products that are older than you. Make sure it is a brand new product and has never been used. This way it comes with a warranty and all of the goods most new products come with.

There you have it. Self defense product tips that are easy to follow and very helpful. Self defense does not have to be hard or complicated. A little research and studying will be enough to keep you going and keep you safe. If you are looking for self defense products check out PeopleProtection.com! It has tons of new items listed and everything you need to go with it. Good luck and be safe.

How To Make Money From Passions

To make money online many people jump right in before they are properly prepared. You know that to be a rocket scientist, a doctor, a brick layer, a construction worker, an office worker, a teacher there are prerequisites, things you must learn, before you can be successful, you don’t just jump right in unprepared.

The same applies to the Internet marketing industry even though there are unsavory people out there who’d have you believe it’s a “Walk in the Park” and requires no more than the belief that you can just do it.

And I’ll have to admit, it is a walk in the park compared to what you have to put up with in the working world punching a clock being a subordinate to someone who does not have your interests in mind, but there are still rules you have to follow and pitfalls you must avoid to actually make Internet marketing work for you.

Most people will not make a dime online and yet there are others who will make more in one month than most people make in a whole year. Why is that?

My answer begins with the age-old chicken or egg question, “what comes first the chicken or the egg”? Personally I vote for, well never mind, each argument you or I make comes back to the same old conclusion - I have no clue and I don’t think many of us do either.

But one thing I do have a clue about and know for sure is that to make money online you must first have Passion for the company products and/or service of any Internet business from which you expect to make money.

Passion in this sense simply means that you’ve researched and like the company and products or services. It is then that you translate that like (or Passion) into the education, excitement and work that usually accompany Passion.

I will have to say that many online entrepreneurs are so good at what they do that they ignore passion because they can sell anything. But I’m concerned about those of you who are not so knowledgeable at working an online business successfully.

Now, I’m not trying to make anyone believe that Passion is the only thing necessary. Because to be successful you must also have a good website, good marketing, widespread advertising, company support, effective keywords, and etc. Those things are often learned from the company you join - but sidestep Passion and you reduce your chances for success dramatically.

It therefore follows that, if you have no Passion for the company and the products and services provided by that company, again, you won’t attempt to do the work you are being taught.

Internet marketing work is typically not all that difficult or time consuming but it does take motivation caused by Passion to get you off and running with a sustained effort so that you won’t stumble.

You have a great resource in the Internet search engines to search about the Internet Marketing industry for business opportunities, USE IT!

Your research should uncover a company that you like and have confidence in. It should be solid, founded on great principles, and easy to understand with great products and services that are sell-able for which you can have Passion. If you don’t find it move on,
You can find the right opportunity containing the attributes identified above.

Comments like, well, that one sounds good and the compensation plan is excellent so I guess I’ll start that business - does not sound like a decision based on anything near Passion. And remember when you hear that an Internet “guru” does that, don’t be tempted, because as I said earlier they are experienced and can sell just about anything, without being Passionate about the company products and services.

Note: By the way it’s your goal to get to the point where you can sell about anything online. That end skill and goal is a worthy one indeed.

Remember, there are other steps you must make before you step into Internet Marketing but if you don’t first find the right company products and services to be passionate about, all of those other steps may just cause you a lot of frustration instead of bringing you great success.

Not being Passionate about a company and products and services that has market proof that it will sell is a pitfall you simply must avoid.

“ A human being is part of the whole, called by us ‘Universe’; a part limited
in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as
something separated from the rest–a kind of optical delusion of his
consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our
personal desires and affection for a few persons nearest us.
Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of comparison to embrace all living creatures and the whole nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely but striving for such achievement is, in itself, a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security”

- Albert Einstein ~
