** Maximizing Your Productive Hours
By Adrian Newman, Founder of e-Wealth Daily

I'm going to reveal something to you that might shock you:

Anyone who says that they work just a couple of hours a day and is successful at it is a bold-faced liar.

Why do I say this? Because anyone who can make thousands and thousands of dollars in just a couple of hours is smart enough to know that, by putting in more hours, they will make more money. And armed with that knowledge, they are actually doing more work than they think they are.

I'll go a step further: Anyone who is making thousands of dollars for two hours of work will prefer to work eight hours to quadruple their success.

These are the people who, while they're convinced they're only working two hours a day, are actually in "work mode" 24 hours a day.

Sure, they might be traveling around the world, staying at luxury five-star resorts. They may be hitting the country club for a round of golf every day, or dining at exclusive restaurants. And while these activities don't seem like work, the "moneymaking gears" in their heads are constantly moving.

You can't just shut these things down!

Everyone is different and unique. No two people are exactly the same. Let's face it; some people are smarter than others, and some people are more fortunate than others.

But the one thing that everyone — and I mean everyone in the entire world — has in common is that we all live our lives in 24-hour days.

Donald Trump doesn't have an extra hour in his day to make more money. He has 24 hours, just like you. It's what he does in those 24 hours and how much value he gets from each minute a day that makes him successful.

And it's not just nose-to-the-grindstone work either. Just because he's on the golf course doesn't mean he's not working. He could be closing a deal or negotiating his royalties on his next TV show.

And that's what you should strive for: making every single one of your 24 daily hours as productive as possible. If you're the kind of person that likes to "flake out" for a couple of hours watching television, playing video games or surfing the Internet, think about what you could be doing to make those hours more productive.

I'm not saying eliminate downtime; I'm saying make the best use of your downtime. Reading a book is my favorite way of relaxing, because I can learn something and maybe take that knowledge and turn it into something profitable down the road.

The best way to determine if you're making the best use of your time is to keep a diary of everything you do in a day. Write everything down from when you ate your meals, to when you watched television, to how long you sat in your car or on a bus, to how many hours of sleep you got.

At the end of the day, review everything and see how many productive hours you got out of your day. And, by the way, in my opinion, sleep can be considered productive, as it helps you refresh yourself.

**How to Execute the Changes You Desire
By Doug D'Anna, the "Hundred-Million-Dollar Man"

What do you want from life? Though I would love to say that most people have everything that they want, the fact of the matter is that most of us would like to make a change here and there.

You might want a new career, a raise, a promotion, more responsibility, or your own business. It doesn't matter what you desire; just know that it is obtainable. And I am willing to bet that there is a thing or two you desire.

Ask yourself this: "If this is as good as it gets, am I happy?" If you answered "Yes," then congratulations, but if you answered "No," then it's time to start making the necessary changes to make the move from being complacent to being completely happy and fulfilled.

Take a look at the following information for some tips on how to make some big-time changes in your life. Simple internal changes can make all the difference in the world. You have to realize your own worth before others can, so take some time and do an analysis of your current situation.

Do you want to change careers?

If you're not making enough money, if you don't feel fulfilled or appreciated by the individuals who you work with, or if you're not using your potential to its fullest, then it's time to move on with your life. Give yourself the time and resources you need to begin, and then review these following points:

Find your passion
Determine your value
Brand yourself
Learn how to get what you want through communication
Put negative thoughts and past failures aside
Never stop building on your knowledge and expertise
Exude confidence

Do you want to gain instant respect?

It doesn't matter who you are, where you've been, or even where you're standing right now. You are a human being, a unique individual, and you deserve all the respect you can command. And you will gain that respect, as long as you get these techniques down pat:

Listen to others
Mirror their emotions
Exude confidence
Speak and behave positively
Ask the right questions
Give of yourself and ask nothing in return
Recycle negative into positive

Want to make a good first impression, regardless of the situation you find yourself in?

How many times have you been in a position when you are meeting someone new? What will they think of you? What part of your personality will they take away? How will what they think of you impact your short- or long-term goals and achievements? Make every moment of an introduction count with these simple steps:

Exude confidence
Speak intelligently and know your audience
Forget about your past failures
Focus on your goals
Script your speech
Be flexible
Dispel negativity

** Through to the End
By Michael Newman, Self-made Millionaire

Have you ever found that, no matter how well something starts, you always have trouble finishing it? Maybe something goes missing, you lose interest or just have a rough time of things due to other external factors. Well, have you ever thought that your troubles weren't caused by external factors, and that maybe you are unknowingly sabotaging your own success?

I know it sounds crazy, because the last thing a person would want to do is to hold themselves back from achieving the things they want in life. But trust me, it's not as far-fetched as it may seem. People hold themselves back from the things they want all the time.

A few of the most prominent ways people hold themselves back are though procrastination, a lack of belief in themselves and allowing themselves to be sidetracked when things don't go as they should — in other words, they become easily discouraged at the first sight of adversity.

Although these problems might be hard to recognize, because people can be easily blinded by the facts (especially when it comes to achieving their dreams), noticing them is the first step to ridding yourself of their negative impact.

Start paying attention to your past behavior. If you look back and notice that you're always talking about doing great things, but always finding excuses to why they can't be done, make a pact with yourself to get started and stick with your next idea.

Know that you may encounter adversity, but remember the old saying, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going," and come up with ways to break the barrier. Don't let a little bit of difficulty get you down and pull you away from achieving your goals. After all, if you truly want success, you'll have to be willing to put some work in.

Procrastination is another tool that people use to sabotage their own success. After all, if you never get started on something, you'll never achieve results. The best way to deal with this issue is to hit the ground running. Stop making excuses for why something can't be done.

This can be tricky, however, because the excuses may not be outright, and may be delivered in different forms. For instance, a classic procrastination excuse is that you're just too busy. But if you really examine the situation, you may notice that you just feel like you're too busy or are participating in too many other activities as a form of avoidance of cracking down and working on your dream.

No matter what it is that may be holding you back from achieving your success, it is usually something that you yourself have control over. Take a look at your past behavior and see if you notice any common themes, then do something about it. Keep a positive attitude and put in motion a drive to succeed, and there is a good chance the success you want could be realized.

** Discretion and Common Sense for the Information Marketer
By James Burt, Online Marketing Specialist

A few years ago, I got a kick out of Morgan Spurlock's documentary "Super Size Me," a very comedic look at the effects of fast food on our lives and many other popular consumer goods in today's marketplace. He talked about this particular scandal starting with a mother suing McDonald's for her children getting fat on fast food. This leads to Spurlock himself going on a month-long "McDiet" and him suffering dire consequences as a result.

Now I know: this is a documentary, and most documentaries aren't necessarily giving you the whole story in two hours. There was a lot of heavy response to this film, with people either cheering it as a call-to-action against the commercial food world, to others deriding it as false, fear-mongering, and exaggerated, Regardless of your political affiliation or opinions of the commercial food industry, the message is still the same: don't overdo it. Fast food of all kinds is a great treat, but not a staple food. You have to keep yourself healthy by eating properly and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Same goes for information marketing. I've spoken briefly in the past of having restraint when working on your information marketing business, but now it's time to get into the nitty-gritty of it.

Here are some tips:

— Don't spend a lot to get started: I once took a job at a hardware store and auto center where I was sent out to the auto shop after the boss fired the installer. All the mechanics were pretty surly guys, but in a comical kind of way. One thing that got their under their skin was how much gear they had to buy. Steel-toed boots, upright tool chest, coveralls, and infinite numbers of hand tools. Info marketing doesn't require that much stuff, nor should it. A desk or table, a chair, a fully functional up-to-date computer, some stationery, and some reference books on what you are providing information on— that's about all. Keep it simple and don't waste money on getting all the fashionable toys; this only burns a hole in your wallet and doesn't really improve your business.

— Keep production costs down: Once you get going and start producing larger information products like books or guides, monitor your output. Only produce the number of copies that you know is going to sell. Do not create an excess amount of inventory, as it is costly and will just clutter up your work space. A good note on this is that you can work out a deal with your printer and you can have a certain number of productions at a reduced price.

— Do not fall for scams: This is easier said than done, but, as the old saying goes: "If it's too good to be true, it's likely garbage." Actually, that saying was modified by my friend's dad and I had to censor a word or two. But he's right. You can get roped into something, like a new-fangled computer program or outsourcing service, with the intention of saving money, but it might wind up costing you more and might not benefit your business. Do your homework whenever you are getting something to assist your business and check everything right down to the fine print. At IMI, we tested three different Internet providers, complete with teleconferences and trial packages, before settling on the one we wanted. Later, one potential provider wound up being fraudulent and we wound up saving a lot of hassle due to our extensive investigation.

— Plan and plan and plan: Some things in life need to be spontaneous. A surprise for your partner, a night out with some friends...all that great stuff. Not in business, sadly. Plan out everything with a budget and be prepared for the potential disasters that lie ahead. Again, it can be hard work, but it will save you infinite numbers of potential hassles in the long run. Being an information marketer is great, as you are your own boss. The only trick is that you have to act like your own boss and treat what you are doing seriously, with a discerning eye on every activity. You have to work hard, but this can be an accomplishment and will always lead to benefits down the road.
