Simplicity is a Complex Problem

We’ve been having a discussion on simplicity today and this video came to mind.

I quote it often.. as my explanation of how complex simple can be.

Can You See the Money in Front of You?

I consult and coach people working hard on their dreams.

Often they tell me that they are frustrated about money, so I share ideas, systems and programs that I know will work for their situation.

It’s like the money is right there waiting for them.

Some follow the advice, some can’t believe it’s real, and a few attack the advice… as if they’ve become the expert at not receiving money.

Watch this video before looking at the tested system my friend has made millions. Then, if you are someone that is looking for more income in 2011, ask yourself “Will I accept the money?”

What If Making Money Online is Too Good To Be True?

In the past 4 days, I’ve been sharing one idea that anyone can use to create traffic for their web site, or even to use free traffic to promote their web site, blog, or business.

I know it is what people are looking for. They ask me how to get more leads and sales. They search for a way to make some extra cash without a huge investment. They anxiously explain to me how they wish they could find one they could trust and work to get the results we’ve all seen other get online.

In my network of millionaire authors, entrepreneurs and investors, I get asked to promote new information products dozens of times each week. Some of these are quite good, but I don’t share them with my readers because I know they prefer the other topics we talk about.

I make one exception.

Matt has been a friend since before he ever sold any “How to make money” products online. In the years I’ve known him, two things have stood out.

1. He tests his methods relentlessly. He knows what works
2. He always responds to clients and goes overboard to make them happy

I know this. I’ve partnered on seminars and products with him. He’s been my client, I’ve stayed at his house, know his family well and worked closely with his staff. He’s not some aloof jerk, he a real guy.

It pays off. Matt is rich and creates a lot of income for him and those around him. I know because I’ve been one of them, and I’ve talked to over 100 myself who applied what Matt taught them.

When Matt asks me to share a new program, I look at it, and frankly, turn him down more often than not. I don’t like the hype used to sell “make money” programs.. even the ones that work. Sometimes his video introductions are so over the top that I get asked if he’s crazy if I share them.

Crazy? Yes.. crazy like a fox.

Do me one favor.

Take a look at the simple system Matt describes in this video. If it doesn’t fit for you, fine. If you have questions about the offer he makes, share a comment and we’ll discuss it.

If you are worried that it’s just too good to be true, think about the money tree.

Making money online is not for everyone, and you might even just not resonate with this one but no matter what you decide, make sure you aren’t just walking past the money tree.

Never Make a Decision Based on Money

Dr. Tone LaMotta, author of What You Really Want Wants You shared with me this quote from Bob Proctor.

Realizing I hadn’t seen it before, I did some research. I could find that exact phrase, but found all those words and the same concept over and over.

And a wonderful story told by Bob Proctor:

In 9th grade, I knew this guy who got kicked out of school.

Feeling stuck, he got a low paying job and did not anticipate any sort of success coming his way.

Things were going from bad to worse when the book, "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill, was given to him. That little book was, not only the first book he had ever read, but it brought a major turning point in his life, as well as in the Personal Development industry as a whole.

From that point he went from earning $4,000 a year to over $1,000,000 a year in a short amount of time. And it has only been up-hill ever since

The guy in the story is Bob Proctor.

A simple idea can make a big difference. Dr. Lamotta reminded me of that, and many other ways that you can be happy in in any economy at any time.

Measuring What Makes Life Worthwhile

What we count is as important as the amount we count

Chip Conley speaks at the TED conference

Great refresher course on Abraham Maslow and how he might have changed his pyramid had he lived longer:

We’ve been using metrics that count the lowest levels of Maslow Hierarchy rather than the things that really matter to most of us today.

We only can manage what we measure.. so let’s measure what is really important

What should we be measuring Gross National Happiness (GNS)?

please leave a comment with what you think matters.. and how to count it

Attitude Adjustment

Here’s the best motivational clip I’ve seen in sometime.

If Pigs Could Fly…

You never know where you’ll find inspiration, so I look for it everywhere.

My friend Dr. Ben Mack has been spreading good energy and reminding us the love is the answer

I always smile when I hear this, remembering a favorite poster from my youth.. but got thinking how love is the answer to many, if not all of life’s questions.

It certainly has been the answer to questions about relationship in business. Yes, loving customers, partners, vendors, co-workers has an ROI (return on investment).. I get more done, have more fun, and feel good all day long when I answer questions about people with “how can we love more?”

Imagining a Better World of the Future

Let’s combine this with a video shared by my friend George Karahalios

Watch the pig flying.. get past the easy question of “how do they get that pig to fly?” and ask yourself “What would be possible if I let it be possible?”

How Can Love Change Our Future?

Let me hear from you. Post your answer to this question in the comments below.

There are no rules. If you feel inspired to say something else, please feel free to post. We want to encourage inspiration and will respond with love.

Imagine your world without limitation. Share the love.

How to Get Attention

Here’s a SURE FIRE way to get more attention, build strong relationships and have more FUN!
