Some misguided people will tell you to hustle until your reach your goals.

99% of your hustle is wasted effort without a proper plan in place.

If you’ve ever worked in a large organisation, you will have seen some of your colleagues glide through their day and effortlessly hit their KPIs.

Others grind, hustle, start early & finish late and still fail to hit their KPIs.

Why do you think that is?

The hustlers don’t know what to focus on, so they try to do everything and fail to get the important stuff done.

That’s because they don’t understand that not everything has the same level of importance.

The smooth operators only do the important things well and gloss over unimportant ones.

Since, in most organisations, 80% of what you get asked to do is unimportant, all they do is the remaining 20%.

It’s so much easier to do 20% than 100% in a day.

How do you apply this to your Internet business?

You simplify it.

Start with the result that you want.

Work backwards. 

What is required for this result to occur?

What is required for those prerequisites?

What’s great about working backwards is you’ll get the minimum pieces and steps.

For whatever reason, your brain can’t make an overly complicated or fluffy squishy weak plan when thinking back to front.

Then, put all your effort into this and only those pieces and parts and tasks until you are done.

You will probably find you have energy left over.

In which case, do it again.

Brent

P.S.  My new course shows you how to do the minimum to create a product and sell it using free tools.

The same method can sell products as an affiliate or PLR products.

It isn’t necessary to re-invent the wheel here.

Put your effort into the 20% that makes money rather than the 80% that doesn’t.

You keep reading my emails.

Why?

What do you really want?

Ever stop to think about that?

What do you really want from reading these emails? 

What are you looking for?

Do you want to learn something?

Do you want to achieve a goal?

What is that goal?

See, I think that the first step to accomplishing your goals is…

…figuring out what they are.

Because once you figure out what you want, you can create a schedule to get there.

Once you know what you want, you can get the training to do it, then figure out how long it will take, break it into monthly and then daily steps, then each day you know what you need to do to accomplish your goals.

Each day you should know exactly what you need to do next to achieve your goals.

If you don’t know what to do next – you gotta find training on what to do.

If you know what to do, then just do it.

It’s that easy either you don’t know – and your focus should be finding out.

Or you do know – and your focus should be doing it.

Regards,
Brent.

P.S.  When you are looking for the training to build your business, but you don’t have the money to pay for all the tools you are told you “have to have,” you’ll find that my latest course nails it.

This eight-day course helps you work out how to do everything you need to make money online, but only using free tools.

Often they are tools you already have, which makes it even easier.

You only need to find out how to use them to your advantage.

I have just completed this course.

https://lllpg.com/soffsp22/sp

Eight days from scratch to having a product for sale online using only free tools.

Tools that you possibly already have.

The whole training was created with those same tools, except for one video I needed to make with Camtasia.

You can watch that video here

.

Paid subscribers get access to the training as part of their membership and all the other products in the members area.

If you happen to be blindingly fast, you may still be able to subscribe for the lowest price it will ever be, but you may also find that the price has gone up by the time you read this.

Good luck.

Regards,
Brent.

P.S.  There is little more to say now.

I have been working on that course for about a week, and now I will begin the next product.

This one will be the fully customisable lead magnets.

I planned to increase the subscription to this newsletter on February 1, but I failed to give you a final warning.

So, to be fair to you, I have decided that you have 24 hours from when you get this email in your inbox to subscribe at the current level.

Since these go out at 9:00 AM ACDT, the price change will happen the day after at approximately the same time.

To ensure that you get the lowest possible subscription, you’ll need to do that as soon as you open this email, assuming that you want to.

Why would you want to though?

Inside the members area, you’ll find three paid products that you get for free.

One of those is a $27 per month newsletter, and the other two are single payment products.

There are more products to be added, one of which will be a large number of lead magnets that you’ll be able to customise with your links easily.

This product will be sold to non-subscribers at a price somewhere in the $30 – $50 range.

That’s why the subscription must rise to a more reasonable level for me and still provide excellent value for you.

The product roadmap also includes a backlink building service and a paid advertising service, but not yet.

Even at the coming new subscription, this will be excellent value, but at the moment, it’s stupid cheap.

Take advantage of me in the next 24 hours.

Regards,

Brent.

But I still can’t talk about it.

It happened in my High School years, so over 45 years ago, and I still feel the pain and embarrassment when I think about what happened.

All I will say is that I failed to prepare at all and failed miserably.

The only good thing about it was that I now prepare for everything, possibly overcompensate, but I refuse to go through that again.

This is why I prepared solidly to reach a recent goal.

The goal was to ride 100 km (60 miles) in a single day.

My previous best was 81 km (50 miles), and I hadn’t prepared for that.

It kind of just happened.

This time though, I was prepared.

I carried glucose tablets and snack bars to ensure I didn’t run out of energy.

I planned the route and how I would manage my energy output.

I even had the bicycle serviced so it wouldn’t let me down.

The ride went as perfectly as it could have, and I averaged just under 23 kph (14 mph) for the whole trip, which was much faster than I was expecting.

I should point out that this was not over flat country.

There are some ups and downs to contend with.

I was pleased with the whole exercise.

What does this mean for you?

Only that you and I need to remember the five Ps.

Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance.

Brent.

P.S.  The training that I mentioned last week is still not in good enough shape to share with you but is well on the way.

I’m planning to sell access for around $7 and add it into the members’ area of Substack as free for subscribers, but that may change, and I deliver it for free for anyone.

I’m happy with the results so far and only need to add the modules to the delivery pages.

One of the tools I mention in the training is Canva.

If you don’t have an account here yet, why not?

It’s free and potent in ways you cannot imagine until you explore it.

This takes you there https://go.wm-tips.com/canva.

Do it because you’ll need this tool.

I know I’m not the most intelligent person in many rooms, but this was a new experience for me.

I’m sitting in a local university room with a collection of mathematicians to discuss a program my boss wants.

Intimidating is quite the right word.

I felt about a 2 to their 10s.

And I knew exactly what I needed from them, but I still felt like a fraud.

I think that was my second time experiencing imposter syndrome.

Like I didn’t deserve to be there in that company.

It’s not a comfortable feeling and apparently can happen to writers with every book they write or with other product creators.

Even the best Internet Marketers sometimes feel that they are about to be found out and exposed as a fraud.

What surprised me in that room was that those mathematicians were looking to me for guidance.

They quickly put me at ease by asking questions about what we needed and what the end result needed to be able to do.

What I learned from that exchange is that everybody has their area of expertise and subjects that they know little or nothing about.

I can’t compete with a mathematician in maths, but I can run rings around them on other subjects.

I bet you have your expert subjects that you’d be able to teach me.

Everyone has at least one zone of interest that puts them in a special class.

Your job is to leverage that knowledge into a product and sell it to others who want to learn it.

Regards,
Brent.

P.S.  You’ll find the people who want to buy access to your knowledge on Amazon and other sites where people search for information to buy.

The training you’ll find here, https://go.wm-tips.com/24hours, will help you to put your knowledge into a format that will sell.

Sure some people know more than you, but they don’t have a published book, and even if they do, there is still room for yours.

Many more people know less than you, and they need your help, don’t be selfish.

I had another one of these errors recently with one of my autoresponders.

I had just updated the O.S. for my computer, which requires a re-boot.

That shouldn’t trigger a “we don’t recognise you” error, but it did.

I was so frustrated by this that I emailed support with this message:-

Why is this device “unrecognised”?

It’s the same computer, same browser and same location that I’ve been using daily for the last several months.

If the I.P. address changes, that doesn’t mean it’s a different machine or even location.

I’m linked into an ISP, like probably 99% of the Internet users, and the I.P. address could change daily.

My computer did an operating system update last night, but it’s still the same computer.

If you genuinely want to prevent attacks, you need to work out some way of checking the user’s computer that doesn’t rely on things that will change on a regular basis.

Otherwise, you are just annoying people for no benefit.

In their reply was this statement:-

I see you have a concern regarding your login. I have to agree with you, and I also checked your recent login, and it was coming from the exact Device/Location.

So, something else triggered the error, as I suspected.

I feel that my frustrations with this sort of login error are now vindicated by at least one company, and I suspect it’s the same with all the others.

In the future, I may email the relevant company every time I get this error, but I suspect that most of them will ignore me because they don’t give a flying…

Brent.

P.S.  Have you picked up the Write a Book in 24 Hours training yet?

You’ll benefit in more ways than writing a book because you’ll learn how to research fast, pick the eyes out of your research, and how best to layout your book.

These skills can be translated into writing excellent blog posts and structuring your websites for maximum benefit to you and your visitors.

Isn’t being rich something that most people aspire to?

Of course, that depends on your definition of rich.

Let’s start with a definition of rich that I think you can agree with.

When your income is higher than your expenses and your income is independent of your activities.

This means, to me, that you have an income that doesn’t need you to be actively earning it by your activities.

You may need to make changes or adjustments from time to time, but it usually keeps coming.

For some, that would mean reducing their expenses to be below their income.

For others, it means increasing their income streams to exceed their expenses.

Which would you prefer?

I know that I prefer to add income streams which is why I wrote those recent emails about setting up a blog.

See the posts on wmtips.substack.com for details.

It’s true, though, multiple small web properties generating small daily profits can be a satisfying way to build reliable income streams.

In the same way, multiple small books on Amazon can also generate multiple income streams.

Is it better to go for the one big hit or many small strikes?

Multiple small strikes are probably more manageable and less risky if you are risk-averse.

Will you make more money with Amazon or your websites?

I don’t know, try a combination and find out.

Then write a report on that and sell the information.

Regards,
Brent.

P.S.  Building a multi-page website is nearly the same as writing a book.

Let’s assume that there are 20 pages on your website with 800 words per page.

That’s a total of 16,000 words.

OK, I said in a previous email that you could build your website with articles from article directories, and you can.

Sixteen thousand words are more than enough to write a book.

You can still use those articles as content ideas, but it works better if you re-write them as described… sorry, I haven’t given you access to the easy re-write method yet, have I.

That course will be available next week because it’s not completed yet.

In the meantime, you might like to explore this excellent way to write a book in 24 hours from scratch.

You could have your first book on Amazon and selling by the end of the weekend.

Is that one of the most annoying things you can see after logging in to Google?

I don’t think it has anything to do with what they’re claiming.

I think it has a lot to do with cross-checking that their data on you is still correct.

Keep in mind that Google is now an advertising company, not a search company.

It’s in their best interests to keep you confirming who you are and what your telephone number is.

It is definitely not in your best interest that they know so much about you.

Notice how they never tell you which bit of information looks suspicious?

Imagine how the Internet would crawl to a standstill if every site you tried to log into played this card?

Some people say, “my data isn’t interesting. They can have it”, or “I’ve got nothing to hide”.

OK, so you trust Google and your government.

But what about the next government, or the next?

Neither you nor I have any idea about where the world will be in the next ten years.

Look at how rapidly the world in China changed in the last ten years?

China is working very hard to become the dominant country globally.

Do you trust them to respect your data?

It can’t happen, you say.

I hope you are right, but I see both Russia and China attempting to fill what they see as the void left by the USA’s weakness, as demonstrated by the debacle of exiting from Afghanistan and the response to Covid-19.

It’s going to be an interesting next few years.

Regards,
Brent.

P.S.  In the face of the uncertainty in the economy, especially the volatility in the share market, I’m working hard to build my email list and the Substack platform.

I’m pretty sure that I’m going to need multiple additional sources of income in the next five years.

If you’re confident that your income is safe, you won’t need to look at this.

Otherwise, you might like to learn how to build your email list fast.
