This article by Steve is, without a doubt an
awakening treatiste. wow, it is a no nonsense in
real time, it is a hands on path to success; it is a practicum for suceeding. One would have to have help not to understand it, it is stellar.

That was in fact a good read. Many people like myself went through the same wanting to work online phase only to quit and try something new. The thing is that your peers, parents, basically everything around is against you when you choose to break out of the norm and take control of your life.
My mindset is this:
I know my goals, I know what needs to be done.
Yes it’s not easy but stick to it and you will reach your goal.
I just haven’t had the time to relax just yet

I am one of those people that sit and stare at the computer and the avelanche of “opportunities”
All I can think to say is Thank you, thank you, thank you

Hello Folusho,
Although Steven’s ebook is quite broad in content, it layed out a very distinct road map in my mind which I’ll work on right now. Yes, it’s true that I started with the wrong foot plunging into this business and was really hooked with all the hype going around the internet. The ebook is indeed a wake up call for me. My big big thanks to you.

The article is very informative for your mind set. I,m new to the Internet and Online business Ventures so will keep what article in mind and use it daily.

You’re welcome Jose. I just wish I had information like that when I first started online.
January 11th, 2008 at 10:30 am
Well, this was a refreshing change of pace.
The article will be helpful to those who want to start a business and are a little unsure of where
to start, and what it takes to keep going.
Maybe we should all post it on the wall or refrigerator as a constant roadmap/reminder.
But I have to say that Steven seems to be putting
in a lot of hours for the 123K income, 15 hours a
day seems a little much.
Maybe he should take a look at Joiner’s site, Simpleology.com the techniques learned there will help you improve your overall effectiveness and it’s free to join, but don’t let free fool you.
Just to give you a glimpse, here is what you are directed towards:
• See your day with instant clarity
• Focus instantly on what´s important
• Dump the rest (liberation is a click away)
• Clear your brain of clutter and distraction
Steven is implicitly saying some of this in his
ebook.
I would like to know more of the details of what
Steven does hour to hour, because he may be in learning mode i.e. studying marketing, copy writing, etc … which really is not working, for some of those hours.
Anyway, I liked what I read…hats off.
Ciao,

UNBELIVABLE! Folusho, this info is insightful.
Thanks for keeping me in the loop…

“Fall out of the sky” luck doesn’t happen to the great majority of us. We get lucky when we plan well, organize skilfully, execute diligently. The good life is about caring for body, soul and spirit.
January 11th, 2008 at 12:02 pm
Planning your business is essential to success. However, I think that this aspect scares a lot of people off the bat because most people are really not organized.
However it is easy to learn how to be organized if you make it easy on yourself.
When I have coached people, I have told them that they first of all need to buy a datebook/daytimer and commit to writing at least one plan or goal in it every day to take action on the next day.
I also tell them at the beginning to take only 1/2 hour to jot down those goals. No more. The reason I say only spend 1/2 half hour is because anyone can find that amount of time and it is very easy to imagine doing. The good thing about this technique is that you are not really confining yourself to only 1/2 half hour, but you are mentally “priming the pump” to get yourself in the habit of thinking about your business every day.
I then tell them to spend only 1 hour actually working on their goal for that day. Again, anyone cand find an hour to work on something.
Once you have developed the habit of setting and writing a goal (1/2 hour/day) and working on a goal (1 hour/day) you will natirally find yourself in the habit of setting goals and completing some part of those goals every day. You will also find yourself spending more time setting goals and accomplishing those goals as your habit of doing so grows as time goes on.
The bottom line, is get in the HABIT of setting and reaching a daily goal. That is 80% of the battle. Give yourself 30 days to develop that habit and I guarantee you will see results.

This is a good, basic, logical piece of advice. Nothing shocking or new about it – but always a good reminder when we go off track. Thank God it was short and to the point – prolific rhetoric is getting very old in this arena. Although you might want to “fill in some blanks” – it was very refreshing – I’ll keep it on hand.
January 11th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
Steven certainly states how it feels to be underemployed for a long period of time and then have your inlaws say “you need to just get a J.O.B. – any J.O.B.” It is hard to stay motivated when you feel you’re doing everything alone but it’s absolutely essential to put the negative comments from others aside to succeed.
January 11th, 2008 at 12:57 pm
Steve your letter is truthful, understanding, helpful and to the point. I read your letter twice to make sure I understod what you were saying. I started doing this in 1/07 and tried just about everthing there was, friends, relatives,business people,email,leads and all seemed to have failed. I started trying o find someone who could teach me about this market I listen to conference calls video’s on the internet and anyone wh would take the time to talk to me.finally in oct 07 I started listening to some who sounded pretty good and also you or your company and even though I didn’t start off like a jack rabbit I did start moving. I too get up early 6:00am and very seldom get to bed before 10:00 PM. My day is filled with thankfulness desire and trying to help my business to grow. I make a lot of mistakes but if you son’t make mistakes you’lll never learn. You dont know what a person is thinking or desires until you ask and if you don’t ask someone else will believe me. The very person you fail to ask could turn out to be on of the most sucessfull business man you could have known. All anyone can say is No but they could have said YES yiou.ll never know if you don’t ask, I learned a lot from you letter Steve and I am going to post it so I can read it quite often.I do think you left one thing out though and is faith. Faint in yourself, faith in your business, faith in your product, faith in your family, faith in your downline, faith in your upline, faith in God, if you dont have faith you will fail. Thank you steve your letter was GREAT mane people will use it encluding me to build their business and many will look at it with negative look. Have a awsome day and God Bless

Hi Folusho,
Been a while that I receive email from you. The last one I remembered, was your video few months ago.
On Steve’s article, it’s straight to the point with Eliminating the Negativity & Making a Plan to Running the Business & Research, and giving yourself Time to Relax,which is also Important.
Yes, the ‘How’ is everywhere on the Internet and I had got many of them. Deciding ‘What is it you want to do’ is very key as mention by Steve & ‘Where to Start’ is usually blocking a lot of people wanting to kick-off.
Identifying your niche or find something that you enjoy doing is a fact, that one have to master to prosper on the Internet for the rest of his or her life.
It’s not going to be easy for some as it does happen to me when I took interest to search for Internet Opportunities, bombarded with tons of informations offered on the Internet thus loose forcus on the key objective to identify niche rather than reading and not knowing how to apply and make the right move.
Mastering a subject, is to get one to be able to forcus on what you want to do, avoiding loosing track of your priority, that is to have a business mindset if we want to have results, making a list to guide us alone.
I believe I have loose track on the good points that Steve Wagenheim mentioned & I truely appreciate on brief report that he shared with all that find it beneficial with his true success and sincerity.
I have printed out this good pointers for easier reference & I shall pass it alone to those who need it.
Many Thanks to Mr Steve Wagenheim & Mr Folusho Orokunle for sharing this knowledgeable articles.
To Everyone Success,
Frankie Teo

January 11th, 2008 at 2:08 pm
15 hrs a day? Hope Steven is just starting out. I think he is accounting for the hours,studying,checking,&evaulating all the facts he needs for his business. You better believe,that people will point out when you didn’t get some fact right! Good reading,so far./Patricia
January 11th, 2008 at 2:40 pm
Wow, Great stuff Folusho. You leave me speechless.
I still have to get on top of this article writing
business, which I’m not sure how you fit into. I
should be receiving the one I outsourced any day
now.
Do I not ask for help with the technical stuff of
getting it up on my blog?
Thank you
Ralph Latta
P.S. Doesnt look like I won. I hope your holiday
went well, and God does bless me, every day and
every hour.
January 11th, 2008 at 2:41 pm
this was very interesting a very true
January 11th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
This was undoubtedly a breath of fresh air, coming from someone who obviously knows what he’s talking about. The first thing I noticed was that he made sure it was written correctly–I instantly switch off when I see an article written that is littered with spelling and grammar mistakes. It makes me think that the writer either couldn’t care less, or else that any business ideas that he’s trying to put across haven’t been well researched by him either.
Reading this article, it’s as if Steven could actually read my mind. I spent at least 2 years trying out all sorts of things on the Internet, only to give up after a while, as I was spending money, but not seeing much coming in. As I’m an arthritis sufferer, I decided to set up a blog initially to help others with tips I’ve learned over the years, but once I’ve improved my writing skills, I hope to go on and write a book about it. As I’m bilingual, I’m also signed up with 3 Translation Agencies, in order to bring in some cash at the moment.
Steve’s comments about getting the negative aspects out of our lives should be taken on board by everyone who has read his excellent article.
January 11th, 2008 at 3:34 pm
That was a great “short” read. Too many times during the course of a day, I allow myself to read a bunch of hyped up special reports (freebies) and I come out of it with absolutely nothing to show for it. Wait, excuse me, just more confusion, and of course, LOST TIME.
Over the past several weeks, I have unsubscribed from over 20 different mailing lists. Yep, 20. You can imagine why I would self impose all of that information overload on myself. As bright as I believe that I truly am, I also believe that I am a bit of a masochist. I know I don’t need over half of that crap, but I always feared that I’d be missing something.
I dropped out of the corporate world (on purpose) in June 2006 and have been studying since. Yes, go ahead, you can call me a dumbass. What I have been REALLY doing is inundating myself with information overload and self-imposed myself into a victim-hood mentality. Always fighting myself over the BEST way, which of course, leads to absolutely no action.
I just get involved with too many opinions instead of trying, testing and LEARNING BY DOING.
Folusho has helped me with that with his emails and with my subscribing to IMTv, even though it was only for a week. Can’t take on any more bills, sorry, Folusho.
But it was a nice action step for me. I studied the steps, now have a massive action plan, and this will be my year. I have sworn a consistent and residual daily income of $300/day by June 2008.
Best of luck to all of you and thanks, Folusho, for the great report you shared. An eye-opener to say the least. Treat it like a business because it is. Those that are with me, and those that take action as the report describes, just won’t have to sit in traffic and get dolled up for the man anymore. DECIDE AND DO!
C’mawn, FloSho, tell us ALL about that special site you have been using???

Hi, Folusho, and thank you very much for sharing Steven Wagenheim’s, “The Mindset of the Successful Marketer.”
The most important information that I received from the Steven’s ebook is that one should choose an online business that is enjoyable and of interest to them, and equally important, for which there is an interest or need for the targeted market. I wholeheartedly agree with the author that we have to align ourselves with positivisms (progressive thinkers, enjoyable hobbies and past-times,reading material for further development,etc.). What the mind produces is from a thought..that produces action and thereby..results. Therefore, thought=action=results. I further agree that a business does need a plan that includes its daily operations, expenditures, and also those unexpecteds (Murphy’s Law). A great business plan is “protection-proof” for any business.
The author’s suggestion of finding something “fun” to do in the course of a work day, is mentally soothing..one can readily see the value of this..not allowing “stress” any entry.
In conclusion, a promising marketer or anyone needing to establish a plan, can follow the steps given in this author’s ebook, and put it into practice. It may need some tweaking according to ones needs. For further study of Steven Wagenheim’s writings, I will purchase his latest work, “Basic Copywriting in Plain English along with “Complete Article Writing and Marketing Guide.”
January 11th, 2008 at 4:06 pm
Hello Folusho,
Let me start by saying how important Internet Marketing TV is to my business. As Steven indicated in his report, staring at the PC Monitor without a real clue about which way to go is not a good feeling even when you know that success is possible. Steven’s report mentioning positivity, the need for a budget, scheduling your activities, and studying both your competition and for new opportunities are all really important; especially the positivity. Without that positivity you’re just attracting failure (ie “The Secret”). But again, for me it was Internet Marketing TV that provided a light at the end of the tunnel! Thanks!
January 11th, 2008 at 4:26 pm
Yo Folusho, cool stuff you shared there.. Kinda makes it clear for all of us who are struggling to make money.. Boy am I glad to hear about the Negativity section.. At least now, I’m more confident that making it online is THE WAY!!
January 11th, 2008 at 4:52 pm
Great gouge on what it takes to truly run an effective internet business. Most people dont think about the “Big Picture” that you provide.
January 11th, 2008 at 5:13 pm
Hi All:
I want to clarify to some who have brought up my 14 hour work day as being a little long for one unless they’re just starting out.
I feel putting the record straight is in order.
Many people feel that in order to be truly successful, you have to get together with a number of JV partners, kick out product after product, and just watch the money come in, putting in no more time than maybe a couple of hours a day to create your products.
While this is certainly something that is possible, it is not the norm. Most of us successful people, like me, work very hard. We don’t rely on others for our success. In five years of Internet marketing, I can count my JVs on one hand. I just don’t actively seek them out.
Does this mean you shouldn’t? Of course not. If you can cut your workload down to a few hours a day, I say go for it.
Me?
I love what I do. Most of my day is actually spent writing, not because I have to but because I want to. I write as many as 10 articles a day. I’ve ghost written over 1000 articles for the Internet. I don’t do this for the money anymore as it comes in very regularly. I do this because for me, this IS my joy. Outside of my wife and my kid, and my guitar, this is what I love to do, thus the reason for this rather lengthy reply.
If I had more money than I knew what to do with, I would still do what I do. The thought of retirement bores me. Writing, marketing and helping others (and I mean REALLY helping others) is my life.
I don’t expect everybody to agree with my philosophies on life, but they do work for me.
In future articles, I’m going to touch on how to actually go about getting JVs and cutting down your workload. It is possible, but also takes a lot of work.
And of course, by dominating an unknown niche with a high demand (they do exist) you can also do very well without putting in long days. But these are very hard to find.
Anyway, I just wanted to clear that little bit up so you understood where I was coming from.
Sincerely,
Steven Wagenheim
January 11th, 2008 at 8:58 pm
To the point…appreciated the message as I have not yet entered the fray…I now execute:
- I embrace positivity
- I daily plan my resources…time, energy and money
- I define who I can help and how and I put into action
- I evaluate and study
- I celebrate my day to day successes
Super! THX

I found it short, sweet, and to the point. As a newbie to any kind of money making oppps it has been quite the journey. Pay and you will get info. Blah,blah,blah.
Steve’s little book gave me motivation and a mindset that I had lost. I have been jumbled and confused with the little tidbits that I have learned. Now, I feel I am ready to make a plan.
It isn’t turning something on and letting it work while you sleep. You need to get out there, find the info you need, and get your hands dirty. I am glad that I have yet to spend any money for info.
I now know that anything I need to learn, I can learn on my own. Thanks Steve.
I am ready to put all those tidbits together and get started.
January 12th, 2008 at 2:14 am
Awesome Read,
After trying to figure out on what’s hype and
what’s not. What will work and what will not and
who has the best program to start an internet bus-
ness. You have to start with some basics and have
a direction to go in. This e-book points you in the right direction to get started and stay focused.

Sorry, I can’t give a glowing statement on how good the report was. For me, it didn’t really say anything. Asking questions at forums was good advice. But unless you have a lot of money out front, starting out is expensive. You may be able to afford $7800 for education while you are making $100,000 a year, but while not making that much, you can’t afford that much. It takes more than a mindset. It takes money to possibly make more money. I want to succeed. I want to achieve. I want financial independence. I want to retire and not have to worry about my pension not being a full one because I retired early. I have the mindset. But I still have to have money to be successful.
January 13th, 2008 at 2:34 am
Sorry I can’t agree with you Sheila. I have a few personal friends that started million dollar internet businesses with less than $100. One of them started when he was 17 with no prior experience. Not having the money is just an excuse. Just like some people can’t afford cars, so if they need to go somewhere they will either walk, catch a cab, run, or ask a friend to give them a ride.
In this world of the internet there are so many ways to get around not having a lot of money but if you don’t believe it you’ll never see it. Obviously a lot of this you need to do will cost money but on the internet it doesn’t have to be a lot. I started my internet business with about $300 and I’ve made multiple six figures since then. So keep on fighting and finding a way to accomplish your goals. you don’t have to have money to become successful. Period.
January 13th, 2008 at 9:43 pm
Intresting; concise and to the point
January 14th, 2008 at 11:17 am
I just finishes reading Steve’s informational ebook. I thought that the ebook was good for people looking for some direction on how to get started making money online. I especially like the part about removing the negative energy from you life. This to me, is the most important thing to do before starting anything new. Misery loves company, if you are doing something new and different to better your lifestyle people will always bring something negative to the pot because your trying to better yourself and they are still at a stand still. They are afraid, your courage is their fear. I also wanted to commit on you folusho. I think you are very smart. I like the way you offered a vidoe to leave a comment on your blog.(smart and thanks for the idea-i got the picture).
January 15th, 2008 at 11:04 am
Thanks Folusho for the reminder that without a plan, the only plan one has, is a plan for failure.
My brief Army experience taught me the 6 “Ps” of
successful leadership. That being, Prior Planning Prevents
Pretty Poor Performance.
Personally, the hard part is not in deciding what you are willing to sacrifice/do in terms of doing or doing without.
Rather it is in writing a plan about something that you know very little about. In this case,
as with most people who are getting started, the tendency is to get overloaded with information to the point that you are choking on all the great opportunities that abound and can’t keep a clear
idea of the direction you wantneed to take. The need for income strangles the desire to “serve.”
Websites, squeeze pages, opt in/opt out, auto responders, html……..for the newbie, it may as well be in Greek.
The beauty of the article is that even with all the internet has to offer in the way of opportunity,
the secret of success really lies more in what each of us as individuals brings “to” the table.
It is very easy to want to try and market like Shawn or Tellman ROss or whomever, but in the end, we need to wake up every day and realize that God endowed each and every one of us with unique
talents and gifts. The same character/integrity that makes us good friends, husbands, wives, friends or lovers should be the foundation for our
online business
January 17th, 2008 at 7:36 am
Thank you! This is it!
I have spent thousands of dollars trying to figure this out. Following one guru after another. I have bookshelves (yes, plural) full of programs that will help me make money online. I have information overload. So much in fact, that I have overwhlemed myself into inaction. I start a program, do days of research picking a niche, start setting it up and then find out that this is a scam. Or maybe there is information missing that I can’t seem to grasp. I even paid for a mentoring program that was supposed to teach one-on-one. The mentor admitted to not understanding the technology behind what she was doing. But if anyone asked a question, she would tell them (in her blog for everyone else in the course to see) that the person was an idiot. The information wasn’t rocket science and that she couldn’t understand how someone couldn’t understand it right away.
While doing all of the programs, I have always had it back in my mind that it really can’t be that difficult. Well, you said it right here. It isn’t! Thank you! I will start trusting my instinct and tune out all of these self-proclaimed gurus who know everything but can’t answer a question.
Thank you,
Sandy
January 18th, 2008 at 3:25 am
Well I do have one thing to say about your ebook. That is, you are right on the MONEY!
They say there telling us the truth. The one thing that they are not telling us is that if you do not advertise which cost money, just as you stated in your ebook. You will go nowhere and that is a fact. If every person asked their self that question prior to joining any online company. They would know they have to advertise! Why do they ever year bring us this large yellow book free of charge called the YellowPages? The answer is to advertise there company to get more business and they can give the book away for free because they are charging $6000.00 a year for a full page colored add and an additional $500.00 a year for your page to have a tab to get more attention drawn to your page. That free book was around way before the internet and MLM. Someone is going to read this that is making a fortune off of people that are doing what they are saying and not getting any where, because as you stated in your book they do not know how to market the product no matter what it is you still have to ADVERTISE. When you find a company that offers multiple advertising that is included with the product or service they are selling to you and asking you to duplicate. If the price is not crazy high for all the advertising cost for the memberships they receive.
I would be asking myself, are they really advertising or are they sending all the members to the same people hoping someone will join one of the memberships. I have not yet seen one company that honestly offers advertising with the product or service. They offer to build your downline you just sign-up and you pay nothing until they build your downline, but they don’t tell you the downline they built for you are non-paying members that have joined under the same terms as you. The end result is you have nothing, but of course waisted a lot of your time. Your ebook is right on the money and more people need to see that in the terms of the way the world worked before the internet, then they might understand.
They are telling us the truth! The truth is they are making money the minute we sign-up with them and pay to be a member monthly or even if it’s a one time fee it’s more than what they had before they emailed us. So they are telling the truth!
So as your ebook has stated “YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT” we have to get what people needs are. Find a solution to that need, and I mean one that is worth paying for even if it’s $7.00 to $10.00 on time fee. The people that need that information will Buy It! I think your ebook will wake a lot of people up, and maybe they will understand the world the way it was prior to the internet. Sincerely, Denise Sanders
I do offer a LIFE TIME FREE MEMBERSHIP no catches to advertise on a search engine. If you get others to sign-up for free you earn more free advertising on the search engine. If you get so much free advertising on the search engine you can sell your portals and make money. You don’t find the buyers for your portals, the search engine company does it all for you. They have people waiting to pay to advertise. They don’t even know they can get it for free. If you would like to put this in your next ebook it would not only help me but it would also help your readers.
Please send me an instant text message there is no cost to you at all, just click on this link: http://tinyurl.com/7yzgq
put in this number to send the message 7272440633 I will get your question instantly please leave your phone number at the bottom or leave your email address when you compose the message and tell me how you would like me to contact you and when. Thank You, Denise Sanders

WOW!!! I don’t know if you are watching me on live cam right now or what but you certainly know all of the mistakes I’ve made (smile). I was very anxious to read your report because I’ve been sitting at my computer half the day searching for online money making ideas and I can truly say I’ve lost thousands of dollars trying to make money…things that make you go huhhhh!!! I’ve tried everything from envelope stuffing to Amway, for those of you who know what that is (smile). Everything you said makes so much sense, it’s definitely hard to focus and be productive when you are stressed to the max. I’m so happy to have read your material because it truly helped me put some things back into perspective. God doesn’t want us to stress out he tells us to cast all of our cares on him and that’s what I haven’t been doing enough of. I need to begin a better prayer life and Keep God as my number one consultant while I do all of my research and try to find programs and products that work best with what I love to do in life and that will make me lots and lots of money to do many good things with in this life. Thanks again for helping me to see a new, beautiful beginning that’s about to take place in my life.
January 19th, 2008 at 5:03 am
Interesting. Nice and organized information, straight to the point.
Thanks
January 19th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
I think it was awesome. It really made alot of sense. I know you really do need to work hard in order to get ahead. You do need the time and money to invest for any business you are starting. But like he said just don’t stress over it.
January 20th, 2008 at 1:47 pm
Been there, done that!!! (The stress that is). The worst part for me are the folks around me that react like Steve’s in-laws, I’m to the point that my main objective is to prove them wrong! Somewhere along the line I lost the excitement needed to go forward (the guru’s didn’t help either).
I’m still plugging along (spinning my wheels), but it’s nice to know I’m not alone, sharing with others certainly helps.
I welcome the breath of fresh air Steve’s article brought into my little corner of the world.

Don’t care about the money. It’s been the best information and advise (for free)that I have been given in years.
Thank you Steve.

The Mindset of the Successful Marketer by Steven Wagenheim
I have completed reading the e-book and it is just the type of information I need to encourage me to make a plan, schedule and stay focussed.
Strange enough, I find myself doing a lot of surfing so now I will endeavour to work on the foregoing ideas.
I want to see the results of planned action soon!
Thanks a lot for this e-book.

It’s a game plan for “the game”. Plan your work or in this case, your business and then work your plan. I do agree with Steven in that education should be an on-going part of any business, in fact it should be an on-going part of life. Finally, I can empathize with Steven in that I too worked under stress and felt that I could soon be out on the street. Also I had been out of work for a while and felt an urgency to do something…..soon! Cool, calm, collected; that’s the only way to survive and flourish.

Hi! and thanks! this was so good for me it was a stop sign!were I had to put on the brakes,and check to make sure I was headed in the right way. I’m going to print it off,and read it for 30 days, so I can get all of this in my head! I will take a break.
I really love doing the internet marketing,and I want to do it the right way,and not be one of that 95% that will not make it.One day this will repeat it’s self I will be telling someone to stop!and do not run the light.I would really love to win the $50 dollar it would help me get started.Thank You and GOD BLESS!

Steven made some really excellent points in this report. Too many people jump into the “make money online” arena to make a few bucks, but without the mindeset to truly build a business and create a future of prosperity for themselves. It all starts in the mind and the attitude. Thank you, Folusho, for sharing this.

How True. I know that I have been racking my brain trying to make money, online or off. I’ve been so stressed out lately that I’ve started to take it out on Maggie (my Beagle, Dachshund mix, just yelling) and the Joy has gone out. I need to relax and take one thing at a time. Maggie will thank me. Good article. Thanks for the perspective.
January 23rd, 2008 at 10:04 pm
wow mann….tat was really a wonderful advice… it juss made me confident enough…. til the very moment i started reading steven’s advice i was in a sortof darkness… i couldnt find ma way through…. was stuck as i didnt know wat to do… but his advices made a lot of effect on me….its soo damn cooolll mann….
January 25th, 2008 at 12:44 pm
I’m just starting. I’m looking for Basics, basics, basics.
There is so much “latest and greatest” that it distracts from the basics that can’t be ignored. Number one is attitude, then List, Market research, squeeze and landing pages, copywriting, web hosting ….

I want to say thank you for giving me access to “The Mindset Of The Successful Marketer” by Steven Wagenheim. It “hit me right between the eyes” – it is exactly what I needed. I have been receiving so many “how to” and “buy mine NOW” and “mine is the best” offers and opportunities that sound so intriguing and promising, but have proven to be a waste of time and money (which I don’t have). It is hard to wade through all the products out there whether “good and legitimate” or “bad scams” and decide which one to invest in. “The Mindset Of The Successful Marketer” reminded me to relax, clear my mind and focus on what I can do, need to do, and how I can use this internet business to reach my goals for my benefit. Thanks again, and God Bless You.
January 26th, 2008 at 10:44 am
I am in the exploring stages of internet marketing, educating myself so to speak. I read your book and will continue to read it everyday. So far it sums up my life which I can hopefully change. Your article on negativity really struck a nerve. Thanks for the butt kick.

Don’t mean to sound cocky, and I will admit I have much to learn, but that was a short book of common sense. Don’t get me wrong, I’m willing to read anything I can get my hands on right now. I’m definitely not backing down with this one. I’m truly interested!!!
January 27th, 2008 at 2:12 am
Sir:
I am not for sure if you reviewed my comments from another posting the other day. I did read the artilce, or e-book, or informative material. yes, he has great insite and you should definitely implement his steps for a good solid, smooth runnig business. The problem is all of the people, Steve, etc. and you included are out here on the internet claiming to make all of this money. Just by luck you happened accross an idea and bam! now your on your way to riches. Well that is great and I am sure that Steve got this by implementing his procedures he wrote about, but procedure is not able to be implemented untl you find something out there that works! I have spent over a year now, and let me tell you I have spent lots of money i shouldn’t have. Joining these groups, with a person, just like you, stating how much money they are able to make, but when it comes down to helping the other person achieve a goal, they charge admission, and most of them will charge a huge monthly fee. I am beginning to think that they found nothing but a good way to scam the other person. How can you break through on a new idea, make all the money you can handle and then charge the average person who is struggling out there.
By the way, tell Steve I am a perfectionist, I do everything by the book, I have been organized from day one, and put many hours each day surfing the net. Looking for my thing I like. Well I found several, you know like he says, you have to find out what it is you want and you need to find something you will like doing? Well, I have followed all of these steps over and over again. i have failed. Why? Because I have not yet found out how to put it all together. Many people do but they keep it like a secrect and then charge to fill you in on their findings. And from my experience, they really never share their findings, they give you so much information and if you can’t figure out the rest, well you fail and they walk away with the income, right? Sad……
January 27th, 2008 at 8:24 pm
Hello Kimberly, thanks for your comments. The thing you have to realize is that both Steven and I both got this far because we learned from others that were successful and then took action on what we learned.
If you haven’t made any money it is simply because you aren’t doing the right things. You have to learn what to do then do it. It’s really that simple.
Everyone is responsible for their own success, the only thing we can do is guide you.
If you have any questions about how to get there, just feel free to ask.
January 27th, 2008 at 10:10 pm
Hey All!
I appreciate a nice, short e-book that tells it straight. Thank you!
I started my website in 2006, hoping to use it as my home business. My life has evolved a lot since then.lol
I am a stay-at-home married Mom of one great daughter. Started thinking about my own home business when I had her. Because, along with my precious child, came Major Clinical Depression and 35 allergies. Yes, I said 35.lol (Makes working a J.O.B. difficult.)
Needless to say at THAT time, building my own business wasn’t even a priority. Living was MY priority.
Anyway, I got help for both(3 allergy shots a week, talk therapy and drug-therapy for my depression.)I guess after going through all of that, not much scared me anymore.
So, with much thanks to my wonderful and supportive Hubby, I finally started my website and Affiliate Marketing, with disappointing results.
I don’t want to bore you, but I do have something to say, here.lol
When I first started out, I tried a lot of different things. Got Scammed on some of them. Just had no luck with others. Never spent very much on any of them, as my business capitol was also my family’s money…and I kept that in mind.
However, I have decided, over time, that I don’t WANT my own Internet Business.LOL How is that for a kicker? I don’t WANT to have to deal with autoresponders and business models, etc. In a nutshell, I had marketing information overload; that just brought me down, confused me, and made me feel stupid. It went from something that gave me hope; to something that drained all hope.
Sorry for dragging on, but I am almost done.lol
After all of this time, my website has become my hobby/therapy/work and I AM an Affiliate Marketer.
By the way, Affiliate is NOT a dirty word.lol
I now get the joy of having my own website, to build however I see fit. I design Jewelry, which I am lucky enough that people like..and buy. AND I finally let go of the crap and now only market for a few things, that I believe in.
I have learned to appreciate straight-talking and common sense. This report is just like that.
Something I can appreciate, FINALLY! lol
Anyway, these days, I am mainly marketing a thing called 3 Hour Profits. I am not trying to slip that in here to make a sale folks,lol, although I don’t turn them away.
Reason I mention it is this….I can finally appreciate straight-talk and common sense..and that program has no fluff or crap; just a plain-speaking plan and HELP when I need it.
I now work as I please. I am making more money online than ever before and I am NOT stressing about it all anymore.
Hubby says I am a lot more fun to live with, these days.LOL
Straight-talk and common sense, people. Look for it in ANY program or business that you decide to try!
Thanks for letting me ramble here and thanks for the report. I hope my comments here helps someone.

Interesting book but somewhat contradictory . .
My friends? They laugh at me when I tell them what I do. They all have their great corporate jobs making nice livings, but they have
no lives. They work around the clock and pray for their two weeks of vacation every year.
I get up at 6:30 every morning,
start work at 7 and don’t call it a day until 10:30 PM. And everything I do during those 15 ½ hours is completely documented and planned out.
Maybe I’ve missed something but he works longer than anyone I know!
January 28th, 2008 at 8:30 am
Hello,
I wish I had read this 2 years ago. It would have saved me a lot of stress.
I startd working at home when I suddenly coulden’t work OUTSIDE of home. I got 35 allergies. Yes, 35.lol Made a J.O.B. difficult.
Since then, I have created my own website, made some affiliate money and gotten scammed several times.(btw, Dollarzblasters.com scammed me, big time!) I also got marketing information overload.
I like this e-book report, because it is straight-talking, to the point and easy to understand. I think every “grass green newbie” that is wanting to make money on the net should read this FIRST! BEFORE you get bombarded with all of the “get rich quick” schemes and scams.
I finally wised up, did the research, and I am happy with the programs I advertise for now.
If I had read this report 2 years ago, well,I expect I could have skipped some rather painful “learning experiences.” lol
Thanks for this common sense e-book.

Mattie, he definitely works more than I do, but working 15 hours a day at home is a lot different then even working 8 hours a day at the office.
You don’t have to be in rush hour traffic two hours a day, and you actually get to see your family as much as you want
Steven has his own way of doings things but he works that much ONLY because he enjoys what he does, not because he has to.

i think that is good and true
but some peaple say it is unorganized life and willnot give success
but i like that

it”s amazeing you read my mind. thats exactly what i needed to know. there are so many offers out there i don’t know where to start you have given me a map. thank you thank you!!!
January 30th, 2008 at 4:42 pm
Excellent realty check for most of us! I (like many of us here) have been chasing that rainbow for a few years now. Every time things don’t work out I say to myself ” Self – this is the absolutely the VERY LAST program I am going to try!”. Any of you done that! I would be willing to take 2 to 1 odds. But we find outselves once again saying “just one more…I am sure this is it! After all..this guru GUARANTEES out success (with, of course, the obligitory disclaimer).
Well, now I am thinking of growing up and facing the facts after 64 yrs on this earth. There is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is there? Just rewards for the efforts that are put out and the study that web marketing REALLY requires.
Although, I have really always known that Steve was right sometimes, it take someone like him or Fulosho to “snap us out of it” and face reality.
I’ll stop rambling now….but obviously this small ebook has affected me greatly.
Thanks Steve and Folusho
January 31st, 2008 at 1:32 am
My first thought was WOW how could I have missed this. I’ve worked sales most of my adult life and had my family tell me I should get a regular job, which of course, I never intend to do.
I know the internet is the place to get a job with a much better than average income and a happy life too. Now I just need to decide what I want to do. I have so many interests, but I will have to pick my favorite, make a business plan, a schedule and focus. One thing at a time while I’m making it a great day!!!!
THANKS Folusho and Steve,

Mine, i have read a lot of ebooks to the point where i began to suffer from information overload. This book is sure a road map to progress.
February 1st, 2008 at 1:40 pm
Well let me just start with saying that I just signed yesterday Jan 31,08. I talked to a really nice guy over the phone.
Let me give you my comments on what I feel at this time. For starters what I have heard and seen this is just a geniune company who is interested in getting the truth out. I have received emails already giving me more knowledge about this company. The videos I have watched are really great.
As for Stevens report..It is top of the line advice that will benefit others greatly. We new people need to know that someone is honestly there for us to guide us.
I usually don’t have alot of money to spare but for some reason I felt like this company will do what it saids it will do. Talk the talk, and walk the walk.
I believe in this company and are top of the line in all areas. Like I said I just started yesterday. But I know that I will earn back more money than I sacrificed yesterday by letting a few of my bills go in order to get this program.
I am honest about everything I am saying. I want to learn all I can from them. Looking forward to receiving all that I can.
Well that is my long comment from a newbie.
You can write me if you want and share some of your success stories on how you are doing. My email is svs1717@yahoo.com
Thank you everyone for your time. Have a great
day and weekend.

This article is a basic, simple to understand, insiteful, yet honnestly the basics anyone who knows anything about marketing should know. Sometimes even specialist in areas, and those who excell need to be reminded of the basic rules and guidelines. I get lost myself in the angles and complexities of the world over step the basic fundimentals that are required to succeed. Thank you for reminding me. This is a great piece of work you have grattitude.
February 5th, 2008 at 6:10 pm
Matte:
I work the hours I work because for me, it isn’t work. I get to sit in my living room and watch TV with my wife while I work. I get to go out to the store when I want. I get to take a morning off if I like. I don’t have to answer to anybody but me.
I wouldn’t trade my life for a 4 hour work day for a boss at twice what I earn.
I don’t expect everybody to understand that.
Sincerely,

February 6th, 2008 at 12:18 pm
Kimberly, without knowing one thing you have done, I can almost guarantee I know why you haven’t had any success. It comes down to 2 things.
1. The “thing” you got involved with has no real demand. People don’t want to spend money on it or it’s viewed as some kind of a scheme.
2. If number 1 isn’t the reason, and you actually have found something that has a target market and a real demand where people will be willing to dig into their wallets and spend money, then the problem is that you are not promoting it properly.
And that is a book in itself.
Because promotion is about 2 things.
1. What advertising avenues you use to get the word out about your product or service.
2. How well you write. Sorry to say this, but if you can’t write in a compelling way that clearly outlines the “benefits” of your product (not the features, the benefits) then you are not going to make any money.
Now here’s a further dose of reality.
Some people don’t have the ability to make a living online because they don’t have the proper skills and mindset.
No, not everybody should even attempt to do this.
God Bless my mother but if she had to make a living online, she’s starve to death. And this woman is a concert pianist and professional opera singer.
Not everybody is cut out for this business.
That is the cold hard truth.
February 6th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
Jeff, you say it’s a short book about common sense.
Good…then you’re ahead of the game because you’d be surprised how many people don’t have any common sense.
February 6th, 2008 at 1:35 pm
All the comments listed have great insight and provide an informative overview on what folks are thinking, pondering, wondering and considering. Based on these comments and Steven’s document, it all seems to boil down to one simple sentence and one’s resolve to put it into practice…..”Plan Your Work and Work Your Plan.
February 6th, 2008 at 2:02 pm
The section titled “Eliminating the Negativity” resonates with me, completely.
Particularly because I was in a “corporate America” job up until last summer, for 23 years. I was laid off and started pursuing network marketing, which led me to the internet and I saw so much more potential with things like affiliate marketing and top tier businesses.
I used to have the “rat race” mentality and viewed people who didn’t have “real jobs” as losers. Talk about Karma. You know?
I am surrounded by tons of negative energy living in the Sacramento area, having the highest foreclosure rate in the nation and watching people lose their homes all around me. Fortunately, I have a cushion to get me through for a while, but if I don’t start generating 4 figures a month, I’m going to be in the same boat.
I don’t believe for a second that’s going to happen.
Being a single income woman and a graduate from the school of Hard Knocks, I guess you can say that I overcame some odds.
I had a great career in the title insurance industry and I thought I had it “going on” in terms of having my life in place the way it should be. Earning 6 figures annually, buying my home, creating my lifestyle and basically being on top of the world.
I now know how little control I really had over my life. Other people made decisions to cut staff and BOOM! My life changes overnight and I have to figure out a way to maintain my lifestyle. I am far too stubborn to lose it all.
I have been spending quite a bit on information, like a lot of us do, on how to make money online. People such as yourself and Folusho are out there to guide me through the process and set examples.
The principals you outlined in this very basic, no-fluff article do a great job at silencing all the noise and crap that can clog your brain with too much fricken information.
I am fighting my own tendnecies to get side tracked by all the “great offers”. This is all very simple, but it’s not easy.
Thank you for the refreshing and honest dose of reality. Exactly what I needed. Well written and well received.
February 7th, 2008 at 8:13 am
Ruth, I’m glad I was able to help in my small way. If it’s any encouragement to you, my first 5 months online I made $28.
Last year I made well over 6 figures.
It does take time and effort, but it’s not rocket science. It’s actually very simple. The hard part is disciplining yourself to do what needs to be done.
Sincerely,
Steven Wagenheim
February 9th, 2008 at 8:15 pm
Like most people, I stagnated my way to age 46, sure, I had jobs that i meticulously applied myself to. BUT, like you said, no one is going to hire me at my age and the internet offers newbies like me a way to make a lifestyle living come true. I am constantly surrounded by ‘When are you going to get a job’ people who are locked into a 9 to 5 mentality. Not for me !! Simple, insightful in it’s simplicity, your ebook has me thinking on a different wavelength. Thanks for the tips, I am going to apply these immediately, and how much does it cost to check out the secret website ? It will be money well spent.

WOW! I know now I am on the right track. During our boys growing years I was 4-H leader for kids on BUG COLLECTING. What an adventure we all had. It controlled our life for 10 years. I have always written about our life and now ready to publish it on the net. I am almost finished re typing it into my computer so soon I will be ready. I will also include a few stories of the pranks they pulled while growing up. I have a whole book on that but will publish more later.

This is not information that I have not seen before. It only takes common sense to realize these factors to become successful at business. However, I have read about successful people that have never put their planning or goals down on paper. And I don’t agree that you haved to have a hobby or an interest in something to become successful. thank you.
February 19th, 2008 at 1:22 pm
You laid everything out in plain English, every business opportunity that I have looked into or joined only alludes to what you stated. Why can’t all people be as honest and straightforward as you are. Now I know where to begin. I can quit pretending that I know what I am doing.
Thank you and God Bless.
February 20th, 2008 at 4:54 pm
Hey Robert, where did I ever say that you HAD to have a hobby or interest to be successful?
You sure read a lot into that report.
Also, as far as reading this elsewhere, I should hope so. It’s basic common sense and business principals.
So I have no doubt that you’re on your way to your own success, if not already there, since you already know this.
That just puts you one step ahead of a lot of other people.
Congratulations.
Sincerely,
Steven Wagenheim

Hello Folusho,
Thanks for sharing Steves information with me,today was a particularly rough day as I had set up a blog a few days ago and now see that it only saved the draft and was not published. I had spent a good deal of time refining the sales copy, so I was really depressed to find it not published.
I also and sent my link off to a site that I had done some demographic research on and they declined to list my link with the rest of their directory.
I was wallowing in negativity after that completely forgetting the principles described to me in Napoleon Hills think and grow rich. As I was reading Steve’s information it resonated so clearly that what I have done is let myself talk myself out of success.
It really is all about mindset, and while I am exploring a niche that does not capture my long term passions and hobbies at this time, it is however sending me into a more positive direction in life. If I have to stand by my principles and represent a product that I have less experience in, but is morally and justifiably correct and furthers my spiritual development, then I can rest easy knowing I have made a choice I can live with.
February 25th, 2008 at 9:38 am
Hello
Really honest.
Can’t find words to say thanks.
God bless.
February 25th, 2008 at 6:22 pm
Well, I have to say I agree with Ruth! (#79 above)
It is a scary world when your not in control.
With all the jobs in this country going to overseas markets.
Thanks for a breath of fresh air Folusho, I feel
like you have had your share of hard knocks. I think in the next few years it will not get any better.
I feel like you were truthful and from the heart.
Good wake up call! I’m not getting younger, just smarter.
Good luck, and God Bless.

I am a complete Newbie to the Online Internet Marketing world. I have been researching this field for a very long time — about 8 years. It seems like a long time when you say it but I’m glad I waited until recently to make the investment. The time wasn’t right for me to have a home business then. This is going back to when I didn’t even have a computer, marketing was mostly handled by the U.S. Mail and it seemed as if a person’s only “niche” choice was MLM, or some other type of scam. To all MLM people that might be reading this, I apologize for the previous remark. It wasn’t meant to be mean or hateful —
just my own observation as well as the various theories going through the “grapevine” at that time. I understand that MLM is taking a different approach now then it once did. Back then apparently there were many disgrundled folks that wanted to make money with MLM but only the top few Founding Members did. I’m sure it will work much better for those involved today as everything has positively progressed since the birth and rapid rise of the Internet. Back then, all the program descriptions sounded alike; the only difference among them being their names. I guess that is what made me too apprehensive to part with my money. I had heard horror stories of folks pouring money into program after program looking for just one which wasn’t a pack of lies because they so badly wanted to buy into that dream these crooks had created for them. Bet you never thought I’d get to commenting about Steven’s book. It was so refreshing to sit down and read an excellent written book. In addition, it contained views that I totally agree with. That’s never happened to me before!
While reading the chapters and thinking “I couldn’t have said that better myself”, I realized that it had to be the long time period in which I had devoted to researching this whole home business idea that had created what Steven’s book was all about: being in the proper MINDSET. For what you are about to undertake, it is imperative to be in the proper MINDSET in order for you to possibly have that taste of success at Online Internet Marketing. The MINDSET will automatically allow you to “plan” your day, set your goals and be able to attain them and still have time for rest and play. With me, I just woke up one morning about 2 months ago and knew something was different about myself. I had received the proper MINDSET which is the key to the success of my new Stay at Home Online Marketing Businesses. My niche will be selling digital information as an Affiliate. I have completed most of my current starting goals and am in the finishing stages of my preparation to launch 6 streams of income and will begin working online in a similar business that will make plenty of money in itself to fund my business expenditures while the businesses are taking off, as well as pay the mortgage etc. Currently, it is my largest stream of income, and has the potential to always be. But as Steven pointed out, you have to have your interests at your side to be happy and successful!! That mighty word again: MINDSET. Thank you Steven for sharing your book. I am anxious to read your other books as well!!

Wow…now tell us what you are really thinking! It’s nice to hear someone say that there is work to be done, IF you are going to be successfull! Most of these Internet Business people make it sound like “turn your computer one, sign up and just watch the cash roll in.” I knew it couldn’t be that easy and that’s why I never tried any of this stuff before. I would like to make more money and since I don’t mind working for it, I would like to show my current boss what REAL MONEY is. It seems that I work 14 hour days and he says “I make too much.” Since I don’t know what “too much money” means, I sure would like to find out. Great article and great videos. Thank you very much.
February 27th, 2008 at 7:32 pm
Hi ya’all..
I am pretty new in this field. I haven’t experienced any online job but I do know that making money online is POSSIBLE. I have heard lots of people are doing it and I am very keen to give it a try!
Yup, I am willing to learn anything as long as I can get money from it.
Steven’s article is really good. 5 simple rules to start with. Simple and easy to understand. I love it.
February 28th, 2008 at 6:01 pm
Hello and thank you Folusho,
“The Mindset of the Successful Marketer” was inspiring. It is much needed for us internet marketing newbies who are struggling to get started making money online. Wish I had found it much earlier.
The 10-page report contains the foundations to getting both your head and heart in the right place. It should be required reading for all internet marketing beginners.
I am going to send Steven Wagenheim a personal thank you.
February 29th, 2008 at 10:04 am
Wow I must say being a newbie as you guys would call it, and looking for somehting online, that sure did put everything into perspective for me. I cant thank you enough for that info. As a newbie I can definetely tell you could get distracted by doing something you think could help and the next thing you know your 5 steps away from where you started
Thanks

This article was the wake up call i needed. Having recently made the decision to work from home, researched through Google and been overwhelmed by the promises, this is what i needed. I am taken aback. My search stops for a while now while i reconsider my position and set myself up for true success,
Thanks a million for the honesty
March 1st, 2008 at 6:27 am
100% right with find something you are passionate about online and go for it. Thank you.
March 2nd, 2008 at 5:31 pm
There are many options out there and research is surley required, before jumping in. A good plan and sticking it out.Thanks for the good, honest advise.
March 2nd, 2008 at 8:57 pm
A very good guide that a person could follow to stay on track.I will be refering back to it to keep my mind in the right direction.Thank you for the information.
March 3rd, 2008 at 3:27 am
That was very solid information and extremely to the point! It’s also information that seems to be honest and truthful when it comes to running a successful online business. Finally, it’s information I’ve been looking for, because I haven’t made any money with any programs I’ve tried in the past 2 years. Is there any program out there that truly delivers on their promise to make money online? If there truly is, let me know, because that’s the program I want to learn and duplicate. In the meantime, I’ll keep searching!! Thank you for letting me comment!!:)
March 3rd, 2008 at 9:36 am
Stevens book was great, you need a plan and to stick to it. Thanks and I look forward for more help.
Thanks Rob
March 6th, 2008 at 3:53 pm
steves book was really inspiring and great.
March 6th, 2008 at 6:32 pm
Life’s lessons for success, is what I like to call it. The absolute truth. Being that I’m not the type to survive a regular 9 to 5 job, this is the ay to go.
March 16th, 2008 at 8:42 am
amazing book… that nearly brought me to tears…. steven is such a nice guy… he seems so genuine and down to earth and i can relate to him in so many ways… eyeryone thinks im not being realistic when i say i want to make money on the internet and a lot of people i know think that it’s not possible to make money with a computer so im incredibly determined now to show them!! thank you for your inspirational words, i really needed them today!!!
thanks again steven,
michael.
March 17th, 2008 at 3:40 am
Thanks Steve,
You help put some things into a perspective for me. I’m sure I can be successful, I just needed a little voice to remind that I can.
Angie
March 17th, 2008 at 8:44 pm
hey someone who tells the truth. I now know that my thinking was wrong. I would let people influnce my thinking into negetive thinging. not anymore. I know I’m going to be succesful on the internet. thanks for someone that tells the truth.
March 17th, 2008 at 9:14 pm
Yes, very informative. I need to purchase “Basic Copywriting In Plain English.” The conditions I face today are generated from my outsource network. Not having an effective or reliable outsource avenue really slows down the process. Not only that, disbursements of debit card issues have become a primary safety concern. Maybe I will overcome this fear to trust and move on, then maybe I will not. Somehow, I figure I will just have to trust my instincts and take a chance. This opportunity is not one I wish to past over. There is much information to decipher. A question I have to the readers and staff or service members, or Steven Wagenheim; do I purchase the book for $47 and just take it from there?
March 18th, 2008 at 7:22 am
I cannot agree with Steve’s “Make a Plan” anymore. The reason the busiest man in the world can be successful in building a business on the side is because they are so busy they have no choice but to schedule every minute of the day! Good luck to everyone!
March 21st, 2008 at 3:06 am
Well, make a plan, do what you love to do and turn that into successful business. Sound simple, but can anyone do it successfully? Without knowing/ being guided by successful entrepreneur how to make the plan properly and walk through the process from plan to successful business, the chance is slim to zero…
March 21st, 2008 at 1:58 pm
Indra, anyone with the right mind set can do it. That was the point of the whole report. Those that are success aren’t successful because they’re smarter than everyone else. They’re successful because they NEVER give up.
Some people become successful almost overnight like I did, but for most people it takes a little longer. I’m sure it’ll take me a little longer to achieve some other successes, but I will NEVER say that most people fail because you and I are not most people. Our success is in our hands.
March 22nd, 2008 at 4:33 pm
Thankyou for your generious support and going the extra mile for the less fortionate persons, like myself; that saids alot in our world TODAY! What you said was what I knew deep inside, and the kick in the pants was in tune with my situations as The positive was already calling. In conclusion It must be the right road, besides the wrong road onramp is backed up. THANKS & GB
March 23rd, 2008 at 1:14 pm
Andrea, I am so baffled by your post that I don’t even know how to respond to it.
Are you saying that you SHOULDN’T make a plan or that you don’t NEED to make a plan, or that making one is POINTLESS?
Whatever your reasoning behind your words, I too wish you the best of luck with whatever it is you decide to do with your life.
Sincerely,
Steven Wagenheim
March 23rd, 2008 at 8:28 pm

Hello Folusho,
Right from the start I get the felling of your genuine sincerity in wanting to truly help people. I do appreciate the advice given by Steve in the book he wrote. I got the point hammered home to me that it is vital to communicate with your audience, and if you can’t or don’t know find someone that can, but you must communicate with your audience. So, what you wanted to say to me you said it through Steve’s article or book. What I’ve gotten from this book is that a person should set in life to achieve a definite goal. Choose a business that they love to do and by doing that business…taking care of their customers…fulfilling the idea that if you help enough people get what they want you will get what you want…that will be your goal. So, to me my mindset is my goal and absolutely nothing is going to distract me from my goal.
I believe I am going to reach my goal, because I have adopted the idea of the buldog mentality…”Never,never,never give up!”
Folusho, I have a felling that you can help me reach my goal. Thank you.

Sam, maybe the reason it didn’t do anything for you is because the truth is a bitter pill to swallow and nobody really likes the truth. So some of us prefer to pretend that there’s nothing in it that they need to know.
I was heavily into psych as a college kid, so you’ll have to forgive the analysis.
I do wish you luck with whatever you do online.
Sincerely,
Steven Wagenheim
March 26th, 2008 at 8:49 am
Steven I appreciate your book. The reason I do is because you get back to the basics in running a business any business. I have been self employed for 14 years in the residential mortgage arena. I recently got out and turned my focus on Internet Marketing and I have to confess I did not bring my work habits with me. Your article for me did not teach but it did remind me. Thanks, I needed that badly.
March 29th, 2008 at 7:34 pm
G’day Steven,
kerri-raluna
just got sent your report. ThankYOU for writing it. I live in country aussie, and although the people around me are absolutely lovely the mind set is exactly as you describe! It was great to have the reminder that as much as I love my friends, they will never comprehend the differences in my priorities from theirs.
Even the first-born laughed at your computers breaking. Last year I killed two computers, one laptop, two phone-fax machines and had someone through out all the cabinet keys with the rubbish!
Keep smiling mate and if you get the chance please buzz and let me know your suggested forums for business.
April 1st, 2008 at 8:31 pm
Thanks for such a straight forward book! It’s so refreshing not to read a bunch of hype and lies. I finally feel I can move forward, though new to this internet world, I believe it’s possible to succeed with proper preparation, organization, and faith in myself, and studying. Before this book I’ve tried and failed miserably.At least now I have a starting point and a good direction to go in! God bless you my friendly supporter. I cherish what you’ve sent and I know it will be my greatest tool for my success…finally.
April 4th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
The article radiates “Truth” and “Transparecy”, nothing can be added nor removed from it. I wish there are more people in this world like you.
April 7th, 2008 at 3:29 am
Excellent, a different point of view that everyone needs. Come back to set goals, write them down, come back to earth and have a life, your life. I enjoyed the opinion of someone who has and is there. I will keep this book and read it often, when I need reminding of what it takes and when to pause.
April 10th, 2008 at 6:40 am
Thankyou for such a short, easy to follow and helpfull book. I will keep this book and use it regularly, whenever i need reminding of what it takes and when to stop. Thankyou, again
April 10th, 2008 at 8:13 pm
As an Independent Business Owner, I’ve learned to “Do or Do Not: There is No Try”. Success requires more than one attempt at anything, and this advice speaks volumes for the true “warriors” that will let nothing get in the way of their success: especially those who have nothing to offer but criticism. Keep moving forward!
April 13th, 2008 at 10:00 am
One in millions… some things to think about but really just the basic ideas anyone serious already knows-
Thanks for the read,
Robert
April 14th, 2008 at 1:37 pm
Thank you for taking the time to write your e book and sending it out. As someone who is out of work currently, and considering trying an online buisness.I have gone to countless website, most promising mega bucks with very little effort. Too good to be true obviously, also somewhat insulting to the intelligence.
The steps outlined in your book brief, consise and easy to understand. Very refressing.
If i ultimately decide that an e buisness is the right choice for me, i will certanly keep this guide for reference, and will most likely purchase additional products from your collection.
Sicerely,
BC
April 16th, 2008 at 11:27 am
I THANK YOU FOR YOUR INPUT BUT I AM BLOWN AWAY THAT I RESPONDED TO ONE INTERNET REVIEW THAT I WAS LOOKING AT AND I AM ALREADY GETTING UNSOLICITED EMAILS FROM STRANGERS. iS THIS WHAT i CAN EXPECT TRYING TO WORK AT HOME ONLINE?
April 19th, 2008 at 12:05 pm
This article is great! especially to starters – one comment for Steve to make this article harmonious as i would like to hear advice from someone who is seeking peace and harmony is to advice him that his wife’s family is still family and it would mean a lot to Steve and Folusho who has recommended him to be aware that such an important article starts with negative energy!!! i believe in positive energy and peace making and as Steve said your mind set is the most important thing – to make this e-book most meaningful please remember to keep it positive through out and negate all the negative paragraphs especially opening your e-book with one! that is shocking indeed – look at positive vocubulary as well! please accept these comments with love and success as thats the intention they are meant for – a lot of good stuff in there – you are definately a big success in the making – only remember POSITIVE ENERGY PLEASE! I care about your success!
April 21st, 2008 at 6:54 pm
What a unique idea Steven has for getting and keeping a business online. The main idea is having a positive idea, as thinking right will let you go a long way. Think negative and you will get nowhere, but defeated.
I desire to be a coywriter and have all the tools to get started. Eventually with a positive idea I can accomplish my goals. Keep up the good work Steven.
April 24th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
Hi! Steven:
I do not have a website as yet, so I would not be able to post one. Anyhow the information and advice you gave is very good. What impress me most of the article is the determination of forging ahead although you got feed back of negative comments from others.So because of that you choose to encourage us who are just starting out to have a plan and stick to it. I am grateful for your kind consideration. Thanks.
Donald.
April 26th, 2008 at 10:31 pm
Its a great report and everybody should read it before they start any business on the internet Lots of people get tricked on the internet and they wouldnt if they had read this report first I will purchase products from you and will be very pleased to sell them for you aswell.
Thanks,
Paul
April 27th, 2008 at 11:58 am
“As a man thinketh, so shall he be…”
This is the first think that came to my mind as read the report. I have a good feeling about you sir, you seem to be different from the norm internet marketer arrogance. I hope you can help me, and some day meet you and tell you all about the success to have paved for me.
April 29th, 2008 at 10:19 pm
Excellent article that anyone interested in self improvement can benefit from!
May 1st, 2008 at 10:48 pm
Excellent article. You really nail the business side right on the head. I’ve learned these tactics through the years and you’re right, if you don’t have a plan… you don’t have a business. Thanks for the encouragement and the reminder to stay focused.
May 4th, 2008 at 4:38 pm
I followed the website from Steve that you sent to my e-mail.
I think it is very good advice and I have that frame of mind.I’m not in buisness for myself but I’m planning to.I am thankfull for all the help
that Ican get
THANK YOU;
Ron
May 6th, 2008 at 7:44 am
The book was awesome. I’m really going to apply what I learned and challenge myself with this buisness. Thanks Folusho!!!
May 8th, 2008 at 6:40 am
In a nutshell; Think it, Feel it, Act it, Be it… dont stop learning and enjoy – maybe?
May 8th, 2008 at 10:49 am
Absolutely brilliant! I’m just starting out, so this information was very timely!
Thanks
D
PS.Very pleasing to know I can pass this on!
May 8th, 2008 at 8:17 pm
Well,
I sure don’t know how anyone could have said it better. Most of us run around like a chicken with it’s head cut off(ever seen that, I have).
I am personally suffering from information load. No one, I mean NO ONE, is going to stop me from doing this and Steve really lays it down like it is. Stay away from those negative people, then show them the money and if they want help, help them to build their own business. If they are still negative leave them to be ALONE.
thanks for the encouragement Foluso

make it a great day

Last night my fiance and I got an e-mail to let us know that his application for a car (for me) was declined. About 30 minutes later I went to the bathroom and just broke into tears. He came over to listen as I told him about all the things that were going bad for me, Poor Me. I went on and on about everything going wrong in my life (I was unable to reach a number of goals this year and it all came back to me last night). I slept with tears in my eyes and the first thing I did when I woke up this morning was cry. The thing I worried about the most was what people are saying about me and the annoying questions they always ask me (I was pretty vocal about my plans- we are in network marketing and before reading the 7 Great Lies of Network Marketing by Ann Siege, we were harassing- I mean prospecting- everyone around us and telling them how our business is going to fulfill our dreams and goals and how they too can blah blah blah…you know the deal). So I was feeling that my failure is exposed to all my friends who knew my plans.
But do you what? Steven is right.
1. To hell with everybody else. Seriously. SERIOUSLY. I realised that NONE of them actually care about my wellbeing. They are just colleagues, associates and “friends”, who will still be asking annoying questions when I am successful. I have decided to eliminate all the negatives. I realised there are SO MANY positives around me. I got embarrased at my drama last night when I realised that actually I’m doing pretty good and that I have so many things to be grateful for.
2. Make a plan. My fiance (who I’m staying with) got a salary increase this month (I basically earn what he’s taxed now) and instead of going out to buy more material things, he has decided to use the extra money to get rid of our debt and to grow our internet based business during the next few months. Getting rid of debt will put more money in our pockets. That is our most important plan right now. (The vehicle finance decline was actually a blessing in disguise!). We still need to work on our business plan (Thank you for the suggestion Steven!).
We discovered Internet-based businesses two months ago after reading the 7 Great Lies….and we have also discovered that there are so many “how-to” products designed for people like us “hoping to make money quick’ (Folusho, THANKS for the first video you sent us. We are victims of that already. I’m looking forward to watching the other video after posting this comment).
We are willing to take our time to learn and have realised that all the gurus and millionaires have their stories of struggle too and that for a lot of them (like you Folusho), it has taken years of trying this-and-that until they learned and mastered the tricks of the trade. We are willing to take our time. Of course it would be nice if we made money “quick” like a lot of testimonials we have read, but we want to invest in information. We are content with where we are- we are happy that it’s only the two of us (no children, no big family responsibilities), we are Black South Africans but have been able to get good tertiary education of international standards and are professionals, together we earn a higher than average income (which, uhmm, has managed to get us higher than average debt!), we have lots of other business opportunities, we are in our twenties so we have AMPLE time and resources to get us from ‘typical middle class’ to WEALTHY, we are alive and healthy, we have each other and love each other to bits…the list goes on and on. It’s time to stop whining and be grateful! I really feel good right now. Thank you Steven and Folusho!
Life is too good to waste on petty things!
May 10th, 2008 at 9:57 pm
Lebo’s great post has one her the first $50 keep posting people and let’s see who’s going to be next.
Pass this link to as many people as you can because I like helping people that know how to help themselves.
To your success and God Bless.
May 13th, 2008 at 3:16 pm
This is refreshing…
I found this information very helpful because it reminded me of what I’ve been going through recently. If you don’t have all these steps down, it’s very hard to run an online business, not to mention being successful at it.
Very good. I will print the information right now and keep it!
May 13th, 2008 at 7:22 pm
I was looking for good information about how people make real money from the internet because I just graduated from Illustration art school and have many government loans to pay off and no job to do it with. The art school did not cover any of this. I found that Steve’s article covered all the bases I was looking for and I value this information and it helps short cut my search greatly , Thank you .
May 15th, 2008 at 1:13 pm
Well, Steven hasn’t changed in the 2 years since I first read some of his articles. Doesn’t mince his words; straight down the line; good wake up calls. If I had put his advice into practice 2 years ago, I would have been a lot more successful today. Thank you Steven for a ‘timely’ word, and thanks Folusho for making the post available.
May 16th, 2008 at 9:59 am
Nobody is here to comment on that ebook. All eying those $50.
May 16th, 2008 at 3:25 pm
Great work and I would like to incourage to continue being a blessing. Everyone deserves great information, and that’s is what you have provided.
Always Totally Motivated,

I am the guy who looks at all the opportunities attempting to decide what will work for me. Have tried a few with no success. Am studying internet marketing courses to learn improved effectiveness. Steven’s book was very good for the newbie, especially. We have to learn enough facts about any subject before the ability to think and plan creatively and objectively in relation to that subject becomes possible. Therefore, I am studying various facets of internet marketing to learn; thus, developing (hopefully) the ability to use this information constructively within an internet business framework.
May 24th, 2008 at 5:33 pm
• Don’t listen to negative talk from negative people about my internet business.
• Begin looking for a work at home opportunity with things that you enjoy. Since you will probably be doing this for the rest of your working like; unlike a job, pick something you like to do.
• Begin thinking outside the box.
• Create a business plan on what you are going to do and how you are going to make it happen.
• What Steve has given us a blue print for how to start your own home based business instead of relying on someone else’s business and using their program.
• Don’t be afraid to ask question from people who know more than you do.
• Keep reading Steve’s book until it becomes a part of you.
May 25th, 2008 at 3:46 pm
This is an inspiring article by Steve. It teaches you that the slumps in life and on the internet are all temperary as long as you keep up your possitive mind. It also intales the way we should focus on our nichs with great importance.You need an IDEA,a simple one that has your interest or hobbies intaled.The other trick I found interesting ,was never to worked stressed out. Ideas come much easier to the common person when relaxed and in good form with the rules of life,the internet,and especially,our loved ones.What ever you have great experience with should be put at the forfront of ideas on your landing pages,sites,and e-books.I learned just now about the site,WORRIOR FORUM.I will use this site to get many unanswered questions I’ve had for some time.This e-book is a great motivator for the begginers who are frustrated with low,or no incomes.Obviously it takes time and dedication to become a great online artist and word creator.I usually just say it as I feel it.It was an eye opener which I needed o be sucessful in this field.In my words,don’t give up,and keep pluggin at it.Thre will be a day soon where most of use will have a decent living online. Sincerely Darren John Taylor.
May 25th, 2008 at 8:34 pm
That is the sort of hype that is needed for success at make money online sites these days… I feel there is a need for unity for goood guys Like you and I
May 27th, 2008 at 8:59 am
Personally, I can attest to the comments Steve makes in his report as right now I am in a similar situation he experienced for 6 years. This information is second-to-none for any individual who has decided to step out on his/her own to make something happen in their lives. Staying away from negativity and pressing forward to accomplish the written goals is what it takes. Write the vision and make it plain is my words to live by. Without a vision people perish so the information provided is priceless for both the newbie as well as the professional. The day is coming when I will also be making a decent living online as well. Thanks for sharing.

Your letter gave good direction and is very informative. I understand how negative surounding are very stressful. My wife and I are also starting over at a different address and what a wonderful feeling. Although i think I can write some really hot content and sales articles, I did need to be reminded about getting this on paper so I have some to go back to. If I may suggest one small point worth probably another 1 to 3% in sales.
You need to proof read and use your spell check more often. WHY: Because people like me who see that smart people like yourself don’t try to respect the english language tend to stray futher and further from it. It is a good paper and Thank You.
June 11th, 2008 at 6:57 pm
Great stuff. Thank You. I am actually what they call a newbie. I have bought a few things but not so much to be ashamed of. I have not made any money due to ignorance on where to start. I do think I have this Internet Marketing thing figured out though. First, you find a hungry crowd. That would be people who dream of avoiding a traditional job. Second, you sell these people “information” that may put them closer to that dream. You then guide them through a sales funnel and spit them out when your done. And at the end of the day they are still lost and don’t have a clue. But at least you made sales and hopefully they bought products that you are an affiliate for. My wallet is now closed until I know what I am doing. Maybe that means I will never know what I am doing and that is OK. I am not afraid of my j-o-b. Can you point me in the right direction without any sales pressure? If not then I totally understand.

Re: The Mindset Of The Successful Marketer
I read Steven’s e-book; it’s very good. What I would add is that one needs an ultimate goal that every thing one does leads to the goal. That goal should be some thing of great purpose; when I do this and this and this I will get this. Such a goal is pure motivation greater than the sum total of all of one’s daily and regular human action. Mine is to set a Disaster Response Fund and Facility that can go into almost any disaster area, save warfare, and immediately reduce confusion, assess immediate needs to instantly create an organisation to facilitate a massive reduction of personal and/or group tragedy so that people can then get back to what they did prior to the disaster and get back on their road of life. Now that’s a goal! A very famous man once said that a man is only as able as he can help others. This goal of mine came about as result of the recent earthquake in China where many people I personally know lost their whole families and their physical history was wiped away, and due to how I’ve organised my life I couldn’t go to help rehabilitate and restore normalcy to that area. More recently I saw an documentary that exposed the truth of the Bali Bombing where a lot of my own country man and women, and locals, were slaughtered to force Indonesia into the War on Terror and to force Australians to stop their mass demonstrations against the Australian government for supporting Bush’s War on Terror and sending our own boys to Iraq and Afganistan. The CIA and Mossad conspired and set off a small nuclear explosion and created a mini Horishima to force Indonesia into the War on Terror and to bring about national shock to Australians to pass into law an act that makes the US Patriot Act look like child’s play. This is the world we are living folks! So we have to have goals beyond our personal ambitions that can bring about a fast reduction of the grief any one of our fellow earthlings may be forced to endure either by natural, or man made force such as TV, so that we may be unified to carry on with our daily lives to seek the freedom and survival we naturally feel we must achieve. Why we get out of bed each day, or night. It’s the continual media onslaught depictions of slaughter and carnage that is pushing us into prolonged grief to which we are seeking escape from by way of personal wealth that the media is shoving on us every day and almost every where we go that we see is our only escape that end game. Ok, so how can I do that? Well, many are aware of or heard of the so called “black hat” methods used in internet marketing, and they are the exact methods used in media to control us, the internet is a channel of media. We are told that that black hat methods are not OK to use but the “gurus” and the controllers are using them against us all the time. For example; the internet is a FREE channel of information and communication. It is public! Then how come I have to pay some one to use it??? Well, I got to learn how to be my own ISP. So that is a tool I can use to enter any realm of the internet at will, just as google and co. do. That’s Black Hat!!! There is a world glut of oil, so how come it is so expensive? Black Hat!!! There is an overproduction of food, then how come it is so expensive and millions are starving? Black Hat!!! There is more money in circulation than ever before, how come there’s so much debt? Black Hat!!!
Any way, the goal has to be to be greater than the sum total of all goals you are currently aware of or ever thought about greater than yourself, your family, your friends or colleagues, you culture, your race, your known world. Once you have that goal and named it out then everything lesser than than that goal will align to that goal!

I appreciate people who do not waste my time. Steve’s style is easy to read. And he packs a lot of information in a nice and concise booklet.
As a minister I stand in front a group of people each sunday who struggle with life. The three main struggles are always relationships, money. or health.
Some people struggle more with relationships. Others struggle more with money, and still others struggle more with health issures. (Right now my wife and I are sick. We have a bad cold that will not go away.)And some people stuggle with all three.
What does this have to do with online marketing? Our success is dependent on our ability to handle each of the three areas-relationships, money, and health. And when we are successfull in one of the three areas we need to take the time to share what we have learned with others so that they can be successful.
Thanks Steve for sharing what you have learned. Thanks for not keeping it to yourself.

I read the article which is pretty much like all other articles lately. The internet “gurus” are all using this slap in your face tactic; instead of fluff. With that in mind, when you questions ones writing abilily, maybe you should then question his reading and technical comprehension. I am on the computer frequently and unless you come to my house and physically show how me, it will be hard to follow with so many “small” tech terms. If you want to get someone’s attention, don’t coddle them, or try to tempt them with money that won’t be there and please don’t insult them….TALK to them on a one on one basis with help and encouragement. They are trying the best they can and really want to succeed.
June 22nd, 2008 at 4:38 pm
This is some of the best information I’ve read. Of course, I’ve read it all before, but it’s so precise and no-holds-barred. I loved it.
June 23rd, 2008 at 12:31 pm
I rarely open online marketing adds. In this case, I was drawn by a simple respect for my time. I run a businees in Florida and, if you pay attention to economics, Florida is in a real hurt. My business is in danger of vanishing as the work simply is not there. If nothing else, I realized the tremendous stress of my situation when I read this short book. I felt immediate relief and began to relax.
I am not at all certain things will work out. I continue to strive for success everyday. I am destined to succeed. Thank you for the most important tip for my career.
P.S. I am going to look into your suggestions as it is logical and honest.
June 30th, 2008 at 2:37 pm
Straigthforward and simple; Communicate.
Guess that this is the solution to most things. And lack of it is the answer OMG! Why?/How? etc.
July 2nd, 2008 at 12:21 am
I once heard it said that “most people dont plan to fail, they fail to plan”. I have found this to be true in areas of my life. Since I am a novice at using the computer and starting a business I found the information in Steven’s bbok to be very encouraging and informitive.
I have come to the conculsion that everyone is not going to understand or accept what I am doing and I need to contuine to press on and learn regardless. Because when I succeed it will be from my effort not theirs.
The one thing that Steven said that I needed to hear was to relax. Because, I know nothing about this blogging, websites, or internet, I have found myself stressing out trying to learn how it works. It seems as if my head is about to explode. What I am going to do is plan things out so that I am not overwhelmed. Eventually I will be where I need to be.
Thanks for the information and I will take it to heart.

I have spent a lot of time and money over the last couple of years attempting to start an online home-based business. In some ways, I feel like I am the poster child for this subject. I have made every mistake listed in this article. So Icopied it down and will re-read I every day until I know it cold.
Thanks
July 3rd, 2008 at 5:22 pm
The article by Steve was very insightful and informative. I concurr the general jist of what he is speaking about. The mindset of the successful marketer has to be one that is based on the primary thought of “nothing ventured, nothing gained.” and belief that what you have to offer in the beginning may not be for anyone but eventually it will be desired by everyone that vision to look at the practicality for their own individual benefit. Just think if Bill Gates didn’t have the (DPV – DESIRE, PASSION, AND VISION)COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY WOULD NOT HAVE EVOLVED INTO THE NECESSITY THAT IT IS TODAY. A vital key ingredient of the mindset of a successful marketer is to have no fear and the willingness to take chances with a concept that may be unknown or unproven but has the potential to develop into a very successful and lucrative business venture.
July 5th, 2008 at 10:34 pm
How does a person who has been out of work for 6 years come up with the money to start a business? I have worked 30 years as a mechanic and I guess I’m not too good with money, and I have suffered a few…scratch that…a lot of set backs! I’m not even sure where my next mortgage payment is coming from. I don’t see how I can afford to sit around at the computer for months trying to figure out how people do it. I want to…but I also have responsabilities and I have to eat. I HAVE NO MONEY. So should I just go back to the daily grind of making money for other people. It seems a desire to be successful is not enough. You have to have money, and if you have money, why start a business? The one I bought in to said you don’t need money if you can invest time. I have invested quite a bit of time with no results…another set back. And when it comes to negativity…meet my wife, she thinks I’m an idiot for attempting to better myself by spending two hundred bucks on an online business. I haven’t given up, but I’m starting to feel that I’m the one people make money off of, not the one who mkes money!
July 6th, 2008 at 9:01 pm
Hey Folusho
Inspiring, motivating, straight to the point truthfull. I am a newbie too, and it should be law for everyone entering into the world of ‘internet marketing’ to read this first.
I am still right at the start gate and sometimes the finish line seems to be at th end of a tunnel that is being controlled by an enterprising architect who keeps blocking up the hole to prevent me from seeing the light.
But, what I have just read makes perfect sense to my logical business mind…so thanks heaps and I love your emails, so please don’t stop sending them. I like the following quote, it kind of says it all.
“If at first you don’t succeed, it only means you’re getting closer.”

Thank you for your wisdom, it was very simple and straight to the point, as all great truths are and I`m sure it will help me a lot in getting the right tools to run a successful business online.

July 25th, 2008 at 12:08 am
I thought the article by Steven was on the money! As a newbie but with a failed attempt it highlighted the missing actions and mindset of mine.
After I accepted the above failure I looked into starting a service business and through my research came across scope.org an sba organization of small business counselors, and the first question from them is do you have a business plan… dah, no I had to say, and as I started putting it together I could see my “Boot Strap” was not enough to fund the venture just in insurance and license to operate let alone equipment or just a padding for Newton’s law or many other realities of overhead. So again back to the internet and guess what, without a plan…. Kick kick kick. So thanks to the letter I’m back to the basics of any legit business, and I do hope that’s what we are all trying to create here.
Business plan: A clear view of where you want your business to be in the future and how to get there. Rodney at #53 Here’s your Goal you spoke of.
The table of contents itself is a template of a daily schedule, “Eliminating The Negative” = wake up with a positive attitude ie positive affirmations or whatever works for you, “Make a Plan” = check Your plan, cause you have already made the plan before even starting your business, right. “Running Your Business” = follow your plan, “Studying” = stay on top of the game with research and continued education in your field, “Relax” = you fill this one in, “Conclusion” = go to bed. It seems to me, at this time, that there are only two daily working tasks on the schedule, running the business and study, so one would just need to allot time according to the time you have available.
The most important thing I am taking away from this article is to do diligent research both inside and out of myself so I can lay the groundwork with a plan made with a clear head and clear goals.
Thanks for the invite Folusho, the article was the prize
July 26th, 2008 at 2:31 am
Steve’s e-book I found very helpful and it is sure to organize me as I proceed to start my business. I wasn’t sure where to begin and this gave such clear and precise steps to take. I especially liked Eliminating The Negative…Completely. I won’t be telling others what I’m doing any more. Thank you for the great insight.

G’day Steve,
I have never before ventured into the business world as I lacked confidence, motivation & focus. Thankyou for giving me new perspective. It was extremely refreshing to follow your step by step advice, and has allowed me to finally get started with a clear head, where there once was a scattered mind(set).
Please keep your insight coming. It is very much appreciated.

I just wanted to say “Thanks from the Bottom of My Heart”. Even knowing a great attitude and not stressing is the Only way to go, but to see it put in writing is what I needed to help me succeed. Now I have something in hard copy that I can always fall back on!

Wow Folusho
This thread is running since January 11th!
I’m glad I made it before the 100th post.
Steve makes some very good points about the mindset and the cycle of the average online opportunity seeker.
It always amazes me how most people somehow forget that you still need to know how to market your business (online or offline) and also to know how to communicate effectively.
Many blessings,

And I do frustratingly say to myself, and even to friends’ “How will I ever get this on-line job when I can’t just understand the lingo!!!”
AND NOT IT’S FINALLY HERE! C’mon, guys! It’s actually that simple…and you’ll enjoy your work!

Thanks Folusho!
In posting Steven Wagenheim’s “The Mindset Of The Successful Marketer”, you have reminded us all that few if any businesses work out as originally planned.
The negativity and stress of venturing into the new and unknown world of internet marketing is daunting. It takes a great deal of knowledge, determination and self confidence along with continuous study, and following the models or mentoring of experienced business successes to reach the goal of success.
Organization and planning is supremely important. Matters of finance, income, expense etc. are of little value if not presented in an organized manner and immediately accessible.
August 25th, 2008 at 6:32 am
very good info. very inspiring.
September 2nd, 2008 at 10:13 am
Steven Wagenheim hit the nail on the head with his report. Stress and the lack of orgainization will ruin any business. Great reminder to us all…Thanks Folusho
September 10th, 2008 at 2:03 pm
Haha in one paragraph, he’s just perfectly outlined what I’ve been doing the past month. Well, a mixture really- i HAVE been working with a clear head, but nothing else in there either! I must have spent $100 on studying already AND I DONT HAVE $100 TO SPEND. A real eye-opener that piece, and wonderfully straightforward. Thanks a lot
September 19th, 2008 at 5:07 pm
Mr Wagenheim has hit the nail on the head.
Yes, it is the absolute truth to have a definite plan. Write your plan down and set goals to achieve to fulfill the plan.
Negativity and stress are absolute no nos. Either will breed more of the same and ultimate doom.
Keep track of the do’s and don’ts within individual files for easy access. And when you meet success, keep on doing what you were doing.
September 24th, 2008 at 4:24 am
Hi,
I found this really helpful and informative and can relate to so many things that were mentioned in the ebook. Especially with regards to the mindset of family and friends.
There were good suggestions about not becoming negative or stressed out but to remain focused on what you really want to do.
Thanks Folusho

I found Steve’s book concise and readable. Two main things that sank in for me and aroused pictures of my own experience are: to be sure I have a plan for my online business and stop trying to reason with those from my church and within my family who think I am unemployed if I don’t fit the mold of a 9 to 5 worker. Far too many people write books in language that is meant for elephants who read mirror writing. What I learned from Steve’s book is that you cannot work successfully with thought negativity whether yours or someone else’s. He is so right about about relatives, church members and associates who fail to comprehend that you are enjoying working for yourself at the hours you chose when you choose without corporate stress. This information can be nibbled or chewed in digestible portions. Thanks for this gift. I will share it.
September 29th, 2008 at 6:56 am
Hiya Folusho,
I received your video n the email and it completely floored me when I saw the figures you make.
Anyhow, I made a big mistake at the time I saw it and purchased The Beating Adworsd Book. At the time I was deciding on whether I should purcahse your course and yes, I made a mistake.
I only wish I had purchased your course, because my gut feeling was to purchase your course,
Okay, so i really messed up, that’s being human I suppose, and I learnt my lesson. I only hope that you can guide me into what I should do now, as I am so OVERWHELMED with my email being stuffed with all manner of people offering me the gateway to success.
Please, please, please help me…tell me where I should start Folusho. I am so confused and desperate in trying to find my way out of my life cycle.
Yours,
Ash Kumar
September 30th, 2008 at 12:12 am
Wow your letter really hit home! I am going through some severe financial struggles right now and the part where you say “,you MUST find a way to not work under stress” really hit home! I have been stressing about making money to pay bills and now realize I spend more time thinking about that than working my business! I know now I just need to take a deep breath, hand over my troubles to God and focus on my business so I can use it to help others. I know if I work my plan and stay focused the money will come!
I also have been trying to learn a dozen or more things at one time and have become half educated in nothing! I will now make folders and prioritize my education and take the time to really learn a new system, program, or technique! That’s almost a stress reliever in it’s self knowing I can focus on one thing and the rest can wait until I am ready to move on!!!
I do want to add that having a goal in mind is good but really understanding the reason behind that goal is even a greater force to drive you on and help you plow through the rough times! What I mean by this is you may want money but, why do you want money? To pay your bills, to support your family, to live a better life? Now let’s go even deeper and say that it can give you peace of mind and allow you to do the things you want to do for yourself and for others. I believe if you focus on your reasons to work and use them as catalysts to reach your goals you will reach them faster and find work more fulfilling!!
Thank you again for sharing this valuable information with us and I wish great success to everyone in whatever business venture they choose!!
Incase anyone is interested I have 2 sites you can view for great business opportunities!
(Steven please feel free to delete the links if you do not want them published in your blog I understand!)

The person who wins the $50 gets to buy something.
The person who read and understood the book doesn’t need it.
If you do win the $50, consider this:
The poor person uses his money to buy necessities, which is understandable. The middle class person saves up money from one or more jobs, and then buys something nice, then starts saving again. The rich person invests his money, and uses the money from his assets to buy what he wants.
If I sound vaguely familiar, that’s because I am using the ideas that I learned from Robert Kiyosaki.
October 14th, 2008 at 7:20 pm
Basic info clearly put, presented with hope written between the lines that success is there for anyone who puts in the time after putting in the necessary infrastructure, i.e., choosing the business, making a business plan, ignoring the negativity all around, working the plan, and balancing the work with relaxation and giving back (to the church, community, etc) activities everyday. This was a great review that I can refer to as much as I need. thanks much, Elaine Lundy

I recently just read a report discussing the law of attraction. Two of the rules to receving what you desire is to be selfish about feeling good. You make it a rule to stay away from negative people. The report from steven says the same thing. Find something that you enjoy doing for this will give you the desire and the fortitude to keep going even when the going gets hard. He says he is guarded about what he tells people what he does for a living. People who don’t understand or have misconceptions of what it is you do, tend to think you are weird or not normal and this is negative. We are to run from negative and work toward feeling good. So Stevens words of wisdom match perfectly from the other report that I also read today.
The section on developing a plan. Reminds me of 2 things I have read and know to be true for most of us. If you fail to plan you plan to fail and we spend more time planning a vacation then we would planning a business. One more is most of us spend way to much time entertaining ourselves. T.V, useless internet act ivies at least those are my bad habits.
Thank you for sharing. I will reread it and take it to heart

Dear Steven Wagenheim
Thank you so much for your kind words advises and experiences.
It’s good to know that there is Worldwide a group of very successful people running this Market business. As I am a rookie on this I behave like a sponge and every single word, every comment is absorbed. All I know is that I’m not stressing with this new job of mine. In fact I am even enjoying it because I’ve been learning a lot.
Let’s see if one of these days I will also be able to share my success and my experience with you.

That was very informative reading and really what I need at this time. I am in the process of trying to make money online. I am a 72 yrs man and need to get out of debt. Aprox. 4 yrs. ago I got scammed for $2486.00 that I entrusted to make money but ended up could not find even a trace of where the money went. Makes it rather hard to get started as I am very much in need of extra income now and have in the last year spent around $300. in sites that either didn’t work or I didn’t know how to work them. That makes me very sceptical and the very good advice that Steve gave as to be sure, study, make a plan and think possitive was the words I need to hear.
Thank You

I can understand why you are cautious. When someone takes you for a run, it is difficult to trust anyone. It’s like trading stocks, you invest to get a return and the very opposite takes place. It is hard to get back in the game after you took a loss. But I’ve learned to get back on my feet and try again until I get things right. I recalled a friend of mine who went on vacation and left a trusted friend to manage her business while she was away. She owned travel agency that specialized that also specialized in payroll. While she was on vacation she contacted her friend but her friend after a few days was not answering her phone calls. It was very odd. When she got back to her office, it was cleaned out including her files and computer. She lost her business and her friend left the town. She finally had to close the business down. She could not afford to pay for business expenses. It was heartbreaking but she managed to rent a small cubicle from a local business and she began to get new clients. Now she is better off than ever before. She has an office in NY and Florida. And she learned a valuable lesson that not everyone can be trusted. This is sad but true. I think you understand this. But on the subject of Steve, I can thoroughly understand. I have just graduated with a MBA. We had to complete a business plan before we could graduate and it took several semester to get it done. I’m not suggesting that it will take that long but good businesses plans require study. One of the thing that we learned about business plan is called SWOT analysis that involves the strength, weaknesses, opportunities and threats that may be contributing factors to a company. An example would be the automotive industry. It is taking a beating in the market place because they were not paying attention to the trends. The Japanesse were making more efficient cars that the U.S. Those are considered threats. Someone who is involved in the strategic planning should have noticed those trends a long time ago. That is why one of the top republicans stated earlier why should we bail out the auto industry. The truth is he’s right. Why should we. So what is motivating you to get in this business is something that you must consider. Take a look at your strength and weakness and compare. It seems to me that you are in a quest to find answer like me. But I gather that you are resilient and you will get back on your feet. You see when you plant a seed you will not see it sprout the day you planted it. But with effort and a little help, we will reap what we sown. It’s just a matter of time.
Take care,
Freddy

Thank you for sharing this letter. This letter was exactly what I needed. I felt like Steve was talking directly to me. The problem I have been having is staying focused and on task. I just need to plan and write everything down on paper and organize everyday. Some days I don’t know what I am suppose to do next, so nothing gets done and I become frustrated. Then I find myself watching the idiot tube. Then there are some days I am so focused and I know exactly what do next. So, thank you for this valuable information which is definitely worth more than $50. I am now going to implement this strategy.
Thank You!

I have to admit that this is by far one of the best articles I have read in a while. Steve does a great job of getting straight to the point and seems to write it with a smile on his face. I truely believe that he has hit the nail on the head and anyone regardless of situation can benefit from his work. Two Thumbs Up! Now I have to go find more of his books…
November 25th, 2008 at 7:29 am
The Mindset of the Successful Marketer is a very enjoyable read, the concepts are very elegant and it’s no nonsense approach is refreshing. I think Steve has taken the most important elements and condensed them in to this E-book, this is what some people call the elusive obvious, that is why I said this E-book is elegant, Steve takes quite complex concepts and puts them into plain English. Everyone at some time or another will come across well meaning friends and family that do not understand why you would want to go beyond the 9 to 5, in fact everything from dating and relationships, to just about anything you can think of, there will always be people who have never had a model of success, so they won’t get it. I think everyone should read the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill at least twice a year; it’s just a complete freak show and every time you read it you get more out of it. Well done Steve, loving your work

The point about doing something you enjoy is so obvious that its ridiculous BUT how many people do something that they know something about but never do something they know a little about but do not enjoy it as a regular hobby or interest? Full marks to these two pointers.

This article “hits the nail on the head” so to speak. It should be a PIECE of the bible that one has with them at ALL TIMES. Thank you for leading me to it!!!
December 6th, 2008 at 6:49 am
I lost interest after the first chapter.
December 6th, 2008 at 12:17 pm
I do not have a website. I am struggeling to start on my own simple way, coming to it every step of the way. Steven’s book has great insights and I am very greatfull receiving it on exactly the right time, as I am SO frustrated with struggeling to gain knowledge on “HOW” and “WHAT”. I will defnitely print and keep this book in my “How To” file, because honestly I will need it not just in the near future but right now and on a day-to-day basis. It is really refreshing finding someone who are willing to share his knowledge without asking for money. May God bless and keep you. Thank you SO, SO much. Sarie

The entire article is absolutely essential to being prepared for each day and running a successful business. Clarity comes from focus and focus comes from planning daily and minute by minute. Yet even the best plans will meet with with the “tyranny of the urgent” and “Sweetheart do you time for …..” so “Siempre Gumby” or always flexible will certainly apply to your everyday ability to succeed. Of course, “attitude determines your altitude” and if you wish to soar with the eagles and not walk with the turkeys, you will definitely need to eliminate negativity and soothe stress before obtaining optimal results. Thanks Steve and Flusho for the article. God Bless, Roy

Pulled me up in my tracks just when I was smothered with ‘information overload’ and close to the ‘Slump Zone’.
I’m talking about the ‘Mindset of the Succesful Marketeer’ from Steven Wagenhein. I’m back on track now at this moment categorising shortlist of potential money making hobbies and skills for further research. So thank you Steven and thank you Folusho for passing it on, wishing you continued success….Patrick UK
December 15th, 2008 at 6:10 pm
Very straight forward and full of common sense.
December 18th, 2008 at 10:22 am
The messsage it fine as far as it goes. It is probably great for beginners. What it fails to address is the plague of “Information Overload”.
“Keeping Up” is counterbaanced by ‘too much info”.
trying to sort it out can eat up ones time.
I have also learned that most marketers are great at getting the word out on their programs but lousy at communication. They do not understand that communication is a two way process. They are deeply involved in preaching their message but fail to respond to questions. They all (that is, the ones that I have attempted to contact)seel to insulate themselves from the very people they are trying to reach. For example, I have sent Mr Orokunle four messages without a hint of a response.
December 19th, 2008 at 2:19 pm
Folusho,
This should be sitting beside everyone who is doing this business, like their bible! I have many questions concerning marketing. Who should I contact?teddicoulton@yahoo.com
December 19th, 2008 at 3:10 pm
I thought I was supposed to get help at getting a websight up and running???teddicoulton@yahoo.com
December 29th, 2008 at 5:28 pm
I probably should not make this commenut, but you
ask for it. Steves comments were something I have heard over and over. Maybe that is why they do make a lot of sense.
Another thing, I did not like the sneeky way he
led into a sales pitch. I was not looking for this and it really turned me off.
Well I got it off of my chest
Thats all for now. Howard Thacker
December 29th, 2008 at 9:58 pm
Thank you Mr. Folusho Oronkunie for Steve’s valuable information you shared so freely. Yes, I realized there would be a sales pitch in there and was not disappointed.
I know nothing about internet marketing, have no website nor a product to sell.
What strikes me about the emails you’ve sent is the apparent genuine sincerity that you exude. I am willing and must learn to earn an income in this field. I am a realist and therefore am not too optimistic about 2009’s economy but if you are the real thing – I honestly can’t determine this now, I am prepared to follow your advice!
January 2nd, 2009 at 5:20 am
thanks for this book,Folusho it’s indeed
inspiring book.happy new year,may all the
best new year be with all of us!

Our charitable org hopes to raise money for a building fund by promoting http://www.scaaci-fundraiser.com. We would appreciate info on ways to get the word out.
January 8th, 2009 at 7:43 pm
Folusho, I have just gone over what Steve had to say. Its amazing in the mist of all he said I saw that Iam trully not the only one who is constantly hearing negative imput from doubters and losers around me. Even in my own family. I have decided a while back that I must get away from them, which I will do as soon as possible this year. Also I am going to be particular who I share my dreams with. Also The part Steve mentioned on planning and study are very necessary with an internet business. The study I do everyday and what has led me to you. Also I understand the need to take a break and enjoy life. Truthfully you can enjoy it more when you have no financial burdens. Thats why I got to get rich from the internet. Steve was on the money with these basics. Thats my comment. Richard S.
January 8th, 2009 at 9:27 pm
I have bought many products, actually I have spent every last dollar I had saved. I really would like a product or program that is real and doesn’t have the missing parts to be successful. I would like a product that doesn’t require me to buy another, and then another. I will not give up and I hope that Folusho is real. I did like what was said. I do believe in the right mindset and having fun. Actually this is the first time in a long time where I feel alive again. Why, because the possibilities are crazy. I want to work from home and make a lot of money and never have my family worry again about anything!!!
January 28th, 2009 at 8:11 am
Ok i’ve tried to get the info but it cam up blank what’s up.
March 13th, 2009 at 5:49 pm
what you say is the honest truth and i am in the same frame of mind . thanks for being so up front with your comments .
April 4th, 2009 at 8:35 am
Hi,
That e-book was a wake up call to ALL internet marketers. If you are not incorporating these points into your business, you are definitely OFF the path to success! I know..I was one of them. I had gotten listless and lackadaisical in my onine endeavors and believe me, you’re on the superhighway to NOWHERE when that happens!
You’re like an enlisted soldier who is marching out of step with the rest of his company. This e-book should serve as the bugle corp entreaty that every soldier is awakended to in the morning. When they hear that bugle, they know that its time to get out of that bunk and fall in line!
This e-book is the online marketer’s bugle corp…it is our signal to “get it together” and “step to, soldier!”
April 4th, 2009 at 10:39 am
I will come back to post another comment. Thank you for your information. I am a newbie and wading through all the information and trying to catch up with all the people and sites Stone Evans has referred. I do have a website built by Stone. I am learning time management.
April 5th, 2009 at 11:10 am
Finally, a non-sugar-coated, no fairy tales, explanation of what has to be done to be successful. The fact that Steve makes it clear that an internet business is, exactly that, a business, and thus to be successful must be run as a business, with discipline and care, and attention to a detailed plan gives him a lot of credibility. I’m going for it.
April 6th, 2009 at 1:14 pm
Regarding the brief, to-the-point letter of advise,”The Mindset of The Successful Marketer” by Steven Wagenheim and direction toward what HAS to be good information regarding marketing……(books on copywriting and article writing)…..
It has been said before, that you must work. OK, that’s always true; I mean if you are motivated, you are motivated, and we all work our best when we are at our best (I’m more apt to come up with ideas and have more enegy in the afternoon. I KNOW this.)And you must be serious, and professional.
In addition…… this article lays down several (it’s not a long, drawn-out, hype-filled or booooring dissertation)basic things you NEED to do to lay yor foundation, and should be must-read for ANY marketer on the planet. Period. This man is out to HELP you.
April 6th, 2009 at 1:20 pm
Oh, and yes….this blog is a good idea and highly under utilized. I’m wondering if many are afraid to post here. So I’d like to say that if you all do, it’ll be in everyone’s best interest, like Obama told Turkey (and the world), to work on this together. I believe that.
April 12th, 2009 at 8:11 am
I have just gone through it and found it intersting. He really talks about the reality of online business;nothing more nothing less
April 27th, 2009 at 9:21 am
That was a clear & concise presentation of what is really needed to be done by the beginners in this business. It spoke the language of a mentor and a winner. Thanks very much for sharing these insights with all.
April 28th, 2009 at 5:21 am
The article was well written and made some excellent points. Especially the ones about negativety and a business plan. There’s no room for negativety if you want to be successful in the business world or even in your every day life!
May 3rd, 2009 at 9:52 pm
The book had a lot of info that is mainly basic to anyone that is successful at work, play, love and mainly in everyday life. To be successfull, you have to like what your doing, have a plan, keep up with today’s race, constantly modify you plan, relax with self confidence and be able to think on your feet. Most successfull people’s minds don’t shut down at the end of the day before they go to sleep, their thinking about tommorrow and beyond and enjoying their trip to relaxation and sleep . When I was younger, working as a manager in the steel mills, I liked going to work, had a plan every day, written on small index cards and checked off as tasks were accomplished and felt like I was making a difference. Then politics comes into play and I wasn’t a good player, when fools with no clue where telling you what to do. Negative attitudes can kill a good thing. When you have real bozo’s in charge and all they know is Who? What? When? Where? Why? etc. and beat you over the head with it until you tend to clam up and eventually say nothing. The book is good info, hopefully for a good tommorrow!
May 12th, 2009 at 8:13 am
If we ever needed guidance and direction, it is now. Through my faith in God, I am sure that everything will turn out just fine. Steven’s e-book was well written. He gives excellent advice to anyone who is trying to start their own business. I like the way he presented everything step-by-step. We need to have a plan and he indicated that no two people would have the same exact plan. He made it real,but he gives us the hope that everyone has a chance. His e-book is like a compass one needs for direction to start a business.
May 22nd, 2009 at 6:00 am
Duh. Duh. Duh!!!!! Well, after spending time and money (seems like wasting time and money) Steve’s words were and are right on the money. I guess the word that kept passing me by in online business gold mine hunt is this: business! Treating it like a business, and one that I love at that! I kept looking for the magic bullet with internet marketing and that magic bullet is me. Oh and Folusho – I just love the way you say “See you on the other side!”. That is so cool. You Rock!
May 22nd, 2009 at 11:42 pm
Quite a straight forward article with excellent advice and a
Good Common Sense awakening and re affirmation in regards to ‘quit daydreaming – write yourself a
road map and start the journey – do it !’
Quit making excuses and wondering what may go
‘not quite right’ You are not going to know the answer until you start.
One’s own procrastination cure may be to remember
how you FINALLY DID IT – in regards to getting that First Date. Things happen and natural ‘built in’ compensating adjustments are made in regards to said action, etc.
Improved movement and earnings happen – only after – you are already moving and exercising one’s required destination plan.
Think about the biggest laziest bum you ever knew
and jolt one’s self to the fact that we are the
Absolute opposite ?! No ifs buts or maybe ?!
Quit banging one’s head or nose on the door; opening it first is the smooth way to get out,
to get started and – away we go !
Nothing will happen until we start.
That is what I got out of Steve’s article
and,
I also noticed several contradictions of which I’m sure he put in just to see if we noticed and to keep us on track in regards to taking charge of
our own destiny and becoming a ‘doer’ NOW.
Did you notice ?
June 12th, 2009 at 10:26 pm
I really enjoyed your introduction video and the first video. I also read Steve’s e-books and they are great. I like to read things in simple form and Steve’s is. I am new at this internet marketing.
Thanks and I look forward to a long mentoring relationship.
October 12th, 2009 at 9:56 pm
Good read; and my writing is improving. I`ve also learned how to deal with all the information over-load. Ctrl+Shift+Delete.
October 21st, 2009 at 10:27 pm
i enjoyed to listen you but i’m affraid the area i am will not late me to follow you ….so i’m not sure what to say but i hope i can do it from my country too …u wore great ..
October 26th, 2009 at 1:04 pm
I have listened to your videos and read what Steve had to say. I think what really stuck out to me was the comment Steve made about picking something you like such as a hobby. The example he gave was writing. It is easy keeping a positive mind but making solid decisions on what type of internet business is like probing for a needle in the proverbial hay stack. If a person wants to keep a positive attitude and perform at the peak of their ability, then Steve is right on target with his suggestion of googling what is your interest or hobby. Then, it does not seem so much like work if you are pursuing an interest and the time spent working be it 15 hours a day or 5 is virtually nothing as you are doing what you love to do. One cannot perform at their best if they are working at a job they hate or have not faith in. That is when stress and negative energy comes into play and affects one’s performance and attitude. Thanks for the info and the videos.
November 4th, 2009 at 9:26 pm
This is good down to earth information. The main truth is that you need to have a clear head to do business. A fact that is so simple and yet so obvious that you need to be at peace and be able to focus in on the the intiuitiveness inside. This will also give you the ability to study and get the information you need to further yourself. Keep up the good work in helping others.
November 18th, 2009 at 12:00 pm
Good information. People with negative, bad attitudes have no right to be critical of people who want to be successful. I don’t deal with individuals who think negative thoughts 24/7. I associate with positive people, individuals who never give up on their dreams and goals, no matter what may get thrown their way. For me, it is not the destination, it is the road and the journey a person takes to get to their destination. Scott A Hess
November 23rd, 2009 at 11:57 am
If A is success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.
December 3rd, 2009 at 3:14 pm
Thank you Folusho
That book on Mind set was right on! I really enjoyed reading it and plan on reading it until I have committed to memory. I found it quite inspiring and useful. I really do enjoy reading what you have already sent me and look forward with, great anticipation to anything else you decide to send me. thanks again, michael
December 9th, 2009 at 2:14 pm
The report on A Mindset of the Sucessful Marketer is thoughtout and very true. A planned day is superior in starting a new business,as one can be easily distracted by kids,phone,tv etc. sometimes without a schedule you will find things to do just to avoid working on your business. “those who fail to plan,plan to fail”. Set a schedule and include your breaks,lunch and dinner. Stay Focus, Stay on Top.
December 21st, 2009 at 10:31 am
Thank you for this awesome read, it is down to earth and straight to the point gave me a few things to think about as in what direction do i want to head now hmmm good question
