Managing Fear During Growth Spurts

We all deal with fears, stress and anxiety at times as we expand and grow.  It seems to be a natural part of life and brings our attention to the fact that something is missing for us in that moment.  What is missing during those times is usually a feeling of safety and certainty.

Here are some simple techniques to help create stability and center us during our growth spurts as conscious entrepreneurs.

Break it Down. When facing new challenges that elicit fear, overwhelm or stress the first thing to do is break it down into a series of small steps.  Complete each small step one at a time to make it more manageable and increase your chances of success.

Take a Breath. Sometimes we get stressed when everything seems to happen all at once. When this occurs, take a deep breath and refocus your mind away from the challenge for a few minutes. Get some fresh air, listen to music, or do an activity that will give you a fresh perspective on the situation.

Visualise. At times we can experience fearful thoughts that may be hard to manage. Visualize a Red STOP sign to interrupt the negative thought. Take a breath and replace the thought with a positive affirmation eg. ‘I am always given the courage to move through difficult situations and succeed’.

Get the Facts. When we encounter challenging situations that upset us it is valuable to remember to get all the facts. Gathering the facts prevents us from scaring ourselves with exaggerated and fearful assumptions.  Check out what is real and what is not by asking yourself – ‘Is this real?’, ‘What is the worst that could happen?’ ‘What support could I get to help me with this?’

Re-focus. We always have a choice to dwell on the negative things in life or choose to focus on all the positive things around us and acknowledge and be grateful for those. As they say ‘Energy flows, where attention goes’. Whatever we focus on expands – choose what you focus on.

Take Action. Ask – ‘What small action can I take right now that will make me feel in charge?’ then take it.  Taking action gets you moving rather than going round and round in your head, empowering you to move through any fears and anxieties that pop up one step at a time.

Everyone faces fears at some time in their life especially when trying new things, it is normal. Overcoming fears and anxieties is not always easy and might take some hard work and persistence but by using strategies to face, move through and overcome these fears your trust in your own abilities grows along with your self confidence and self belief.

So, you could look at fear as a positive opportunity to grow and expand as it is moving you towards a stronger believe in yourself, how good is that?

Campaign Blasts Review

At the beginning of this year, I decided I need to go back into PPC: I’ve done really well in the past, and got sidetracked a little over a year ago.

And, in order to make the most of my PPC campaigns, I am re-reading Matt Levenhagen’s Campaign Blasts ebook.

The Campaign Blasts Affiliate Marketing System can be your opportunity to start making money on the Internet too, like it was mine.

Matt Levenhagen is an AdWords professional with a proven track record as someone who knows how to profit from Google. The material in this course covers the combination of Google AdWords and affiliate marketing to help you learn to create an income for  yourself with the potential to continue to grow and grow.

The guide that you get with this system is divided into 4 major parts with a total of 21 chapters in all. These parts include:

• Blasting Orientation – Chapters 1-8
• Markets, Merchants and Keywords – Chapters 9-11
• Putting it All Together and Launching – Chapters 12-15
• Expansion and Some Loose Ends – Chapters 16-18

All of this valuable information is then summarized in a great conclusion that really shows you how to take everything you have learned and make something of it. This is the type of program you can pick up, read through and then begin applying the tactics right from the start. As you can guess, this is very beneficial to anyone looking to start Internet marketing, AdWords or improve their existing campaign and strategies.

When you apply the principles outlined in this course, you can find your own success through blasting landing pages, blogs and websites.

This is more than just a system for making money on the Internet: it’s actually a philosophy. It’s a whole new approach to pay-per-click marketing and when done correctly, it can make you a great deal of money. When you want to be a better marketer and you’re serious about taking the steps needed to succeed, the campaign blast method will walk you through it step by step while also giving you the tools you need to continue to create your own successes in the future.

If you’re not 100% certain if you’re ready for the course, you can start off with only the Blasts guide and a basic membership and then add the full XP All-Inc experience later on.  You will find this is one of the most extensive memberships of its kind and it comes with many additional free material and added goodies. When you want The Best in Adwords Training, this is where it’s at.

Questions? I’d love to help: just ask!

P.S. I made $28,483.94 in commissions in one year with only one program using Matt’s methods. Don’t you think you should see what it’s all about?

Super Affiliate Handbook – A Success Story

Not too long ago, Lynn Terry invited Rosalind Gardner to her weekly webinar. The room was packed, and the information Rosalind shared was amazing. But what impressed me the most was how much the Super Affiliate Handbook helped Lynn in her business. So, I decided to ask Lynn  a few questions about her experience with Rosalind’s teachings.

Enjoy!

My Question: Since we are talking about the Super Affiliate Handbook, what is a super affiliate? And if I am not a super affiliate, does that mean I won’t be able to benefit from Rosalind’s eBook?

Lynn’s Answer: This is a great question. There is not a standard definition for “super affiliate” and a lot of people define it differently. Some will tell you that super affiliate status is based on specific income numbers, such as minimum $10,000/month. Others will have different ways to qualify the term, such as how long you’ve been an active profitable affiliate marketer.

Once you start showing up on the leaderboards for your merchants, which are the Top 10 or Top 20 affiliates in terms of traffic or sales, you can pretty much consider yourself a Super Affiliate. Many merchants offer contests and prizes to top sellers, so it’s a nice position to be in. The affiliate prizes can get quite nice – from electronics to cruises, even!

In any affiliate program, it’s the Top 1% that make the majority of the sales. Those are the Super Affiliates.

To answer your second question, no – you don’t need to be a super affiliate to benefit from Rosalind Gardner’s super affiliate handbook. In fact, it’s very newbie friendly and one of the absolute best places to start if you’re interested in affiliate marketing.

I was doing affiliate marketing for several years (on the side) when I first read it, almost 6 years ago. That guide is actually what took me from being a part-time affiliate marketer… to a successful super affiliate

My Question: I know you’ve owned the Super Affiliate Handbook since it first came out. How has it benefited your business? And are you still using the methods you learned from it?

Lynn’s Answer: It made a dramatic difference in my business. And yes, I am still using Rosalind’s methods on a regular basis. It’s probably the one guide that really stuck with me more than anything else.

The major difference it made was in helping me go from an active business model (get paid for what you do, or trading time for dollars) to creating a passive income model. Meaning set up the site, and then it starts working for YOU. I make affiliate sales while I’m asleep, away for 2 weeks on vacation, out to lunch, etc. THAT is a great business model!

I’ve continued to use her methods, and duplicate the processes, to the point of having thousands and thousands of web pages on the web across a wide variety of niches. That didn’t happen overnight of course, but something I’ve been building on strategically for the last 6 years. I was making money with her model in the first few weeks though.

My Question: Can you give me one specific tip that you got from the Super Affiliate Handbook which made a difference in your pocket?

Lynn’s Answer: I think the biggest thing I got from Rosalind Gardner was that affiliate marketing is a business model. I had always looked at it as easy money on the side, in addition to other things I was doing, but she really showed me the other side of it.

Another thing I picked up from her guide was that merchants and affiliate managers are people. They’re in business to make money just like I am – and they’re open to feedback & negotiation. That alone has made a big difference over the years. I no longer just accept a decline notice from an affiliate application – I contact the affiliate manager and ask for reconsideration. I also don’t hesitate to ask for coupon codes, interviews, or whatever else I might need to sell more product for them.

My Question: Would you still recommend Super Affiliate Handbook today? Why?

Lynn’s Answer: Absolutely. The number one reason is because she continues to update it, so you’re always getting fresh relevant information no matter when you download it. You’ll get the updates as well, just log in and download the new version. It’s hard to find a publisher that goes to that length to keep her readers informed and active.

I recently read the latest edition of the Super Affiliate Handbook, and fell in love with it all over again. It’s thorough, chock full of real site examples, and it left me motivated and inspired. I launched 2 new affiliate sites the same week I read it again!

Thank you Lynn for your candor. And way to take action! For those who are reading this now, what are you waiting for? Get your own success story right now by checking out the Super Affiliate Handbook.
