Here’s a quick video about a free tool you can use to help you set up your attraction marketing campaign. People love to do business with people that they know, like and trust and doing this is one way you can help people get to know you a little better.

The address for the Picture Trail site is www.picturetrail.com.

A few weeks ago Natasha and I hosted a local marketing workshop with Ann Sieg in Salt Lake City, UT. We had a great time at the event and the masterminding afterwards. We were also able to connect with our friend Jim Harris who lives in the Salt Lake area. Jim is the host of the Teach Jim Show on Blog Talk Radio, and he asked me to come on his show which will air this afternoon at 4:30 PM MT. Hope you can join us!

Here’s a simple but powerful tip for your business.

Have you ever had the hot water run out when you were in the middle of taking a shower and been shocked by the cold water hitting you? Have you ever taken a cold shower on purpose?

A planned ice cold shower. That’s how my day started.

Actually, before I took my cold shower, I heard a series of screams coming from our bedroom as I started to prepare breakfast. Normally, I would have laughed at my wife’s loud reaction to the frigid water in the shower, but I knew it was my turn next.

Seems like a perfectly logical way to start a cold snowy day, right?

Well, I wouldn’t say it’s exactly what I have in mind when it comes to enjoying life, but one of my new year’s resolutions is to lose weight, so I’m following the plan for rapid weight loss detailed by Timothy Ferriss in his new book, The 4-Hour Body. I have to admit once I got out I felt pretty refreshed and definitely awake.

If you aren’t familiar with Tim and The 4-Hour Body as well as his previous bestselling book, The 4-Hour Work Week, you might want to check out his blogs at FourHourWorkWeek.com and FourHourBody.com.

According to the plan he lays out in the book, you can expect to lose 20 pounds in your first month without exercise. I plan to exercise throughout the next month, so it will be interesting to see what kind of results I get.

If you’ve been thinking about getting back in shape, you might want to check his book and make sure you leave me a comment below.

So I’ve been a little busy working these days and things are crankin’ in our business…

Problem is I’ve let myself get completely out of shape lately. Keeping everything in balance is always kind of a juggling act, but I’ve reached my breaking point and decided enough is enough. I have decided to commit to a 90 day plan of action to get my butt back in shape.

Yesterday, I got my Newfoundland, Dakota, and hit the trail to the foothills across the street. Things were going pretty well…until the trail started going UP. Uh…yeah, that lasted about two minutes.

I ran for a total of about 7 minutes before I had to stop, which is pretty pathetic considering I ran a marathon a few years ago. But it is what it is. That’s where I am now.

Now it’s time to focus on constant improvement. I don’t have to go out and run 6 miles tomorrow, I just need to get a little better each week, and before I know it I’ll be back in business. This concept of constant improvement has served me well over the years in many areas of my life, including my business.

I think it is something that people who are new to internet network marketing can definitely benefit from implementing. It seems like a lot of people get started on the internet and see all of the people touting how they get 100 leads a day and sponsor people in their sleep, and they mistakenly think that they are supposed to be in “marathon shape” for their business right away, even though they are just getting started.

So many people seem to set really high expectations of what they should be making in their business their first or second month online even though they haven’t done the things they need to do to be able to perform at that high of a level.

If you’ve fallen prey to this belief that you should be raking in the dough straight out of the gate, don’t get discouraged. Just realize that results like that happen by starting where you are right NOW and then committing to making small improvements each week. Over time your tiny improvements will snowball into an avalanche of success…it just takes a little time to get the ball rollin’.

Sometimes you have to get off to a slow start to eventually go fast. This “slow” approach to go fast can help you whether you are trying to get into shape, build the following for your blog, the size of you e-mail list or you downline.

If you’re ready to start making some improvements in your business, make sure you pick up a copy of my Attraction Marketing Crash Course and leave a comment below if you’ve had success “starting slow…to go fast”.

To your success,

Natasha and I had a great time at the Marketing Funnel Mastery event on June 26. The things we’ve learned from Mike Klingler in this course are so powerful, that we have put everything else in our business on hold in order to get our new funnel in place.

If you missed the event in Portland I highly recommend that you check out one of the upcoming events that will be held in different cities around the country.

This weekend we are heading to Vegas for the No Excuses Summit, and then in August I’m heading to another event featuring Mark Hoverson and Ann Sieg in San Francisco. I’ve got some great things to share soon, so stay tuned.
