I was watching this clip from the last “Rocky” and it really hit a point that I have been trying to make to someone recently. You know that in life we get beat down and then like the flee in the jar story where a guy put a flee in a jar, now that flee can jump out with no problem. The guy put a lid on the jar and the flee would jump up and hit the lid and it would do it over and over again. After a while the flee adjusted the height that it would jump so it would not hit the lid. After a while the guy took the lid off and the flee still would jump just short of where the lid used to be. Now we do that in everyday life, we get beat down by life and so we adjust and then we are prisoners to our misery. You have to step outside of your comfort zone to advance. You have to push yourself to succeed. Like in any sport you have to practice and work hard to win. You have to always strive to get better in whatever you do. You can’t get confortable in your situation and then complain that you don’t make enough money or your home based business is not growing. I was recently talking to a business associate and he was complaining that his work from home business was not growing. I ask him what he had been doing on a daily basis to build his business. He replied that he had talked to a couple of people and sent a few emails. I advised him that basically he was doing nothing and expecting his business to grow. Now the internet is huge and growing all the time. Yes you have the potential to expand beyond you dreams and expectations but you have to work at it. No business will grow itself, you must put in the time and effort to make it happen. (There is more below the video)
I normally don’t post twice a day but after my friend Cedrick Harris sent me this I could not help but share it with everyone! Cedrick was telling me how one of his down line sent him a message whining and complaining about how it is hard and it hurts to have your own business. The point is you are the most influential person in your business so are you going to quit? It is your business not mine. You have to reach down and grab a pair and go for it! Don’t look at what yard line you are on just go for the goal.
This is a great video of Will Smith. He has always been someone I have admired. He has such a great outlook and has great passion for life and dreams. He has many great points here. You have to have a great time with your life! Your mind set has so much to do with your success. Listen to his words it is so true and all of the successful people have this same mind set.

My question for Raymond was what he thought the first thing a new home based business owner should concentrate on in the beginning. His answer is below and it may suprise you. Thanks again Raymond!

Toy Story 3 is an incredible story. Yep, even at my age I cried through the buildup to the ending. (The fact that my oldest three children are 20, 18, and 16 may have something to do with that; the three youngest are getting old, too: 8, 10, and 13; so, yes, it’s expensive to go to a movie!)
One of the lead characters is Sheriff Woody. If you can grasp Woody’s worldview, you just might get that social media return on investment you say you’re looking for.
Early into this third installment, Woody summarizes the worldview he’s displayed throughout the series. It happens shortly after the dinosaur bemoans the lack of attention he’s getting from Andy, their owner: “We’re NEVER going to get play time!” he says. » Read more: Sheriff Woody, Home Based Business Guru!

I asked Jonathan what was the one change in his life that made the biggest change in his business. Here is his answer.

The No Excuses Summit was off the hook! Ferny Ceballos and Raymond Fong started this little gathering off with just their own students in mind. But after asking some of the top marketers to come and teach it grew and grew. Ferny and Raymond put on a great event with so much instruction and so many of the top marketers that it was truly unbelievable. The event went on long after it was scheduled with breakout sessions with each of the marketers that were on stage that day. It was packed full and then with the breakout sessions and time on breaks in the hallway you really have NO EXCUSES! I caught Ferny in the hall after his breakout session and ask him what he thought the most important part of SEO was for a new comer. Here is the video and I am sorry for all the noise there were lots of people at the summit! So what did he say? Check out below and watch the video for more.
