Getting Things Done

“Someday, I’m going to have like a gazillion dollars. And I’m going to live in a castle. And I’m going to have my own army. Just like if I was the King of England.”

“That would be so cool. Okay how’s this one? Someday I’m going to live in a mansion soooo big that it’s going to have its own theme park in it. And I’m going to ride roller coasters all day. And eat cotton candy.”

Remember doing that when you were younger? Seeing who could come up with the coolest fantasy life. Some adults still do it. But of course their expectations are a lot lower now. Maybe you’re one of them.

A few days ago I went out to lunch with a couple friends from high school. And one of them was telling us how he’s going to open an online business “someday”. Sound familiar?

A tripod is defined as a “three-legged stand” in the Webster dictionary. Kick one of those legs out and what happens? It falls.

This isn’t exactly rocket science but failing to recognize this can have a devastating effect on your business.

Similarly an online business is held up by three “legs”. Knock one of those legs out and you’ll be part of the 98% of people who fail at making money online.

Anyone familiar with James Brausch already knows his magical formula to success. In fact, he has it in the header of his blog. Here it is:

traffic + copywriting + products = successful internet business

Now let’s go into detail in each one so you understand why each one is so important. The first “leg” we’ll go over is the most controversial one.

Products

For those of you that may have missed James’s deadline for his Christmas gift he gives another: Another Free Gift For The Whiners.

Whether you know James Brausch or not, you missed his deadline or not, take a look at this gift.

The concept is invaluable in business as well as in life in general. Thanks for the gifts James!

How long have you been building your business? Are you getting any results yet? If not and you’ve been building your online business for more than a week or two this is the most important article you will ever read.

I know exactly how you feel. I’ve been there. It took 2 years of my time and over $10,000 in credit card debt for me to learn the lesson I’m about to teach you today.

But first let me tell you about the biggest problem I had.

I was stuck in the so called “study phase” of building a business or what some people call information overload.

But in reality there is no such thing as a information overload. All it is is an excuse for not taking action. If you implement everything you learn as soon as you learn it this won’t be a problem at all.

Yesterday I was reading JamesBrausch.com and I noticed he had a link to my site on his blog. James has a PR 5 website. I have a PR 0. James’s site has been online for 22 months. Mine only 1 day. James gets 206,350 monthly visits to his website. I haven’t had this site long enough to even know. So how in the world did I “convince” James to give me a link?

I must have called James on the phone and asked him to give me hand launching this site, right? Wrong.

I’ve never met James. And I’ve never even spoken with James. So how could I have done it?

Well I must at least have had his magical email address. Nope… Not yet anyway.

It’s actually much simpler than that. All I did was link to him.
