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”.

Today I want to give you a recipe for getting results in your internet network
marketing business ASAP.

This post will save you massive time on your learning curve if you’re just getting
started in your online business. If you have been struggling for a while trying to
figure out to have success, then this info will be like finding a high-powered flashlight on
the ground after wandering around in a dark cave for a week…if you implement it.

Here are the two main reasons I think people miss the boat when it comes to building
a successful business on the Internet:

1. They think that the solution they need is too difficult or expensive to implement right now
because they don’t have access to the right information.

2. They take in powerful new information that would help them succeed, but they don’t
match the influx of information with an equal amount of output (ie. ACTION) and then begin suffering from the dreaded info overload.

1. When you generate a lead online it should be branded to you. Not your opportunity’s replicated site. Not the author of a popular training course. YOUR solution to a problem that they are likely having.

Why? Because you don’t want to generate a lead and then say, “hey, check out the information from this other network marketer who is much more successful than I am.” You want your prospects to get to know like and trust you, not some guru that will distract their attention away from you and your business.

You are what makes your offer unique. Ideally, you want to start offering your own free “product” as a giveaway as soon as possible.

You shouldn’t try to fake it until you make when you are putting this information together. The point is not to act like you’ve already succeeded on a massive scale if you haven’t, it is just to share concepts that are proven to work.

If you have studied the most successful leaders in the industry and put together a report or video series on what they do to succeed, then that is valuable information that will benefit your prospects. Once you have created a track record of success, you can then put together a product to sell that shares with your prospects how you did it.

If you are ready to create a product to give away or sell, you will need to hire a graphic designer to create a product image for you to market. We offer this service to our Lead System Pro team members for just $47. For more information, check out my Attraction Marketing Crash Course here and send me an e-mail letting me know that you are interested in this special offer. You may also want to check out elance.com.

2. You will want to construct your marketing funnel, so that people are introduced to you and your primary offer through your video series, e-book, or newsletter before you start offering them additional options. Ideally, you want to make sure you are focusing on promoting your brand for the first several messages, then you can introduce them to additional services or affiliate products that you may want to offer. For more information about building a profitable funnel, check out my wife’s recent post about Marketing Funnel Mastery.

At this point in your funnel it can be powerful to use a customizable attraction marketing system that provides incredible training, the opportunity for mulitple streams of income and a way to introduce your primary opportunity to your prospects.

3. Once your prospects have progressed through your funnel and have been introduced to your personally branded system and ultimately your primary business, you can then introduce them to useful affiliate products that you may have to offer. You want to make sure these products are offered on the backend of your funnel, after your propects have been thoroughly exposed to your brand.

There you have it. Once you have put together a funnel like this, it’s time to start driving traffic and then building relationships with your prospects by providing them with valuable solutions to help them succeed. Get started today with my free Attraction Marketing Crash Course.

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.
