Mind Meister Is The Bomb!

The only other sites that got me this excited were Vimeo, Nanacast, 1Password and Things – and now Mindmeister is being added to my list of favourite resources!

I will definitely be upgrading to the Premium edition for $59 at the end of this month when my trial expires! This simple tool has helped me create a 7 figure business model plan in only 2 hours. Had I tried doing this any other way it would’ve taken me a few days and I wouldn’t get anywhere near as good results.

I’m using the mind meister mindmaps for creating sections of my business plan. It helps me see everything from the big picture which helps me determine what IMPORTANT actions need to be done. As we know, it’s easy to get busy. But being busy doesn’t mean you’re being effective. You need to be busy doing the RIGHT actions to be effective.

I recently went up to Sydney and whilst I was there had a chance to catch up with one of Australia’s most successful Internet Marketers, James Schramko.

For those that don’t know, James quit his $300K/year job at Mercedes to pursue his IM dream. He’s clearly very happy with the results as in 2009 he smashed past the 7 figure/year profit mark! The video is just under 48 minutes and starts off by covering the inner game of Internet Marketing, and then goes on to discuss the exact strategies James uses to earn a 7 figure a year income.

• What business model one of James’ underground friends uses to earn $100,000 PROFIT PER DAY!
• How James turned a $500/day loss PPC campaign into a $7000/day profit campaign in only 2 weeks!
• What makes James Schramko different from 99% of other Internet Marketers and how that helped him reach the level of success he is enjoying now;
• How to tap into the other 80% of available traffic online apart from Google;
• Whether or not affiliate marketing will survive as a solid business model over the next few years as Google keeps updating the AdWords guidelines;
• What presentation skills he uses in videos to best connect with his prospects and clients;
• How James can manage a million different projects effectively without going crazy!
• What tasks James outsources and how many people he has on his team;
• What the most lucrative online business model is at this point in time that James recommends getting into;
• How to make $5000 this week, even if you’re starting out with NOTHING!
• What a typical working day looks like for James from the moment he wakes up – I couldn’t believe it!

It’s 2.28AM and I just finished writing a sales page for a niche product I created 50/50 with a friend of mine.

Why am I telling you this? Good question haha

I’ve been putting off writing the sales page for a few weeks now constantly rationalizing I need to watch the whole ‘conversion summit’ seminar from Eben Pagan’s guru mastermind course. I’ve watched about a third of it and it’s great content, but something just snapped and I said to myself “F*** it. Just do it!”

So I started writing at 11pm and because I wasn’t distracted, I focused purely on pumping out this sales letter and just getting it done. I accept that it’s not going to be perfect and it’ll have lot’s of things that can be improved, but damn it as soon as it’s finished I’ll be able to start a PPC campaign and actually start getting a result. Right now the sales page is about 90% done and just needs some polishing up which I will finish tomorrow, but the core part is done. I’m actually surprised because I thought this would take me weeks, but I did it all myself in only a matter of hours.

The Action Lesson I want to share is, if you’ve been putting off something important because you don’t think you’re ‘good enough’, or you’re ‘not ready yet’ – put those excuses aside and do what you’ve been avoiding.

An interesting quote I heard that helped me do this was:

If somethings worth doing, it’s worth doing poorly

Don’t get the wrong impression, it doesn’t mean offer crappy service or content. It simply means that if this is something you’ve never done before or a first draft, just get something done and accept that you’re going to do it poorly – but at least you’ll have it done. And after it’s done and generating results, you can always optimize it later. Another quote that really struck a chord with me and one I try to live by daily is:

Don’t strive for perfection, strive for excellence

And finally, JUST DO IT!
