Are You a Serial Seminar Attendee?

All entrepreneurs know the value of attending a good seminar. Meeting up with other entrepreneurs who have new ideas, different ways of working and a wide range of interests is ennervating.

Seminars also provide a good opportunity to increase your network of contacts.

These networks are important because they are your way of exploding your business into a phenominal explosion of success.

Unfortunately far too many seminar attendees never progress to anything like success.

They leave the venue full of enthusiasm clutching the goodies they've bought. Then once they are back home the enthusiasm wanes. Partners and friends are pessimistic and it's just easier to blame lack of success on the package you bought rather than admit you didn't give it a chance.

So you sign up for the next seminar. And the whole thing happens over again.

This addiction to seminars is not cheap. Most of them cost well into 4 figures and the products they sell you are also not cheap. And they don't guarantee success if you don't use them properly.

For that short time you are at the seminar and for a short while afterwards you bathe in the aura of the successful entrepreneurs who you met. You kid yourself that you too are one of them.

But you're not. Your just a seminar groupie!

You don't have to be. Sometimes all you needed was a little help to get up on that first step.

Entrepreneurs Make Their Own Dreams Come True

We all have dreams and ambitions. Entrepreneurs are people who dream dreams and then work on developing their ideas and ambitions into successful businesses.

Entrepreneurs in every field have several things in common.

a) All entrepreneurs are passionate about what they do.

b) They also enjoy the business they are in.

c) All successful entrepreneurs like meeting other successful business people.

d) They have imagination, drive, and an insatiable thirst for experience and knowledge in their chosen fields of interest. (You don't have to be 'bookish' to gain knowledge. Many extremely successful entrepreneurs performed poorly at school, or left school without any qualifications.)

e) They are confident of their ability to handle any problems that arise.

f) They never give up, or stick in a dead end rut, or allow other people to discourage them.

Entrepreneurs Don't Stay Stuck in Ruts

Entrepreneurs may trymany things before they find their niche. They know when to cut their losses and move on.

Successful Entrepreneurs know that if they aren't waking up every morningfull of enthusiasm and energy then something is wrong.

Unfortunately the world is full of people who don't start the day full of life. They are flogging on in the first job or occupation they fell into when they started work.

They may be quite content to stick with it, but many of them are not thrilled by what they do. They are just too scared to change tack. Or perhaps it's never occurred to them that they can.

To be a successful entrepreneur you do NOT have to have a university degree or loads of qualifications. Whatyou DO need is an enquiring mind and the desire to discover more about what you do.

Never be discouraged. If you don't enjoy what you're doing try something else.

BUT

Don't be a Serial Seeker. These are the people who spend a small fortune and far too much time going from one seminar to another, looking one idea after another without giving any of them a fari trial.

They are like people who want to learn to swim but never get further than walking round the edge of the pool without jumping in.

So if you are a budding entrepreneur stop walking round the edge and looking on, take the plunge and dive in.

The Power of Affiliate Marketing

What is affiliate marketing and what value is it to the entrepreneur?

Affiliate marketers advertise and sell other peoples’ products in return for a very healthy commission. It involves very little effort and can be very profitable – as long as you know what you’re doing.

Affiliate marketing is an efficient way of providing a 24/7 stream of income from the internet. It is a business that can free you from the daily grind of earning a living and give you time to enjoy time with your family, friends and interests.

The best thing about being an affiliate marketer is that you can link it with your own particular interests. Doing that way makes the whole business seem like pleasure rather than work.

Are you particularly keen on business development, internet marketing, farming, dogs, horses, travel, wind surfing, mountaineering, extreme sports ---. You name it and there will be products that you can sell as an affiliate.

Affiliate marketing is something that can cost you absolutely nothing – zilch – zero. Or you can have some cash input. The advantage is that you can learn how to work the system and still earn money before you lash out any of your hard-earned income on further development. Many people are quite happy with what they can earn without any cash input.

What is really important is finding out how to be a successful affiliate marketer from the people who already use the system and have a proven track record.
Once you get established you can create repeat business – that is where you sell to the same people over and over and over again... without ever having to create your own product!

Do NOT buy any "How To" information about Affiliate Marketing unless:-
The information comes from someone who not only sells their own products, but makes a lot of money selling other people's products as an affiliate.

The information not only tells you what to do, but explains how to do it.

It tells you how to quickly get TARGETED traffic to your website... not just hit-or-miss traffic spurts!

It MUST answer every conceivable question about getting started and marketing as a super affiliate!

Finally any information product you buy to learn the secrets of affiliate marketing MUST have a 100% money back guarantee if it doesn’t live up to the claims it makes.
