Generate passive income from an ebook

Here's an idea that some of you might benefit from, if you think about it seriously.

It's about selling an ebook online to generate passive income.

This ebook can be written by you or by another person who's an author.

You just have to buy the resale rights from the author, and then you offer that ebook to people online.

Because you have the resale rights, you pocket 100% of the profits.

This is the idea behind http://systematicwealth.wordpress.com/, a 540-page ebook I wrote in January 2011 and recently decided to give away the resale rights with every purchase.

Unlike the traditional publishing model where the wholesaler and publisher get most of the markups, leaving the author with only 5% in royalties, this "resale rights" publishing model rewards buyers who resell the ebook.

This might sound strange at first, because it's like as if you went to Chapters bookstore, bought a $30 business book (say, from strategy guru Gary Hamel or Tom Peters), and then you go to a service bureau to make 100 copies of the book which you sell online and pocket all the profits!

This is forbidden by law, of course, because only the author has the right to commercialize his work.

But in the case of my ebook Systematic Wealth Creation, I actually authorize buyers to resell the ebook and pocket all the profits!

Now, why would I do that? Have I gone insane?

Perhaps.

But I don't think so. The more people who buy the ebook and resell it, the more my reputation will spread, thus bringing me new clients (I work as a business consultant to small business owners and launching entrepreneurs).

More importantly, I will have the satisfaction of knowing that my business knowledge is being shared with hundreds of thousands of people.

What will make this resale rights publishing model work, is the nature of Linkedin and Facebook, as well as other social media.

It's a place where people connect to hundreds, if not thousands of other people.

So if you have, for example, 1,000 connections on Linkedin, you could resell my ebook to them for $30 (the suggested price is $97).

If 400 of them buy, you'd have generated $12,000 in revenues.

Keep in mind that when they buy this ebook from you, they also get the Resale Rights, meaning that they too can turn around and resell the ebook to people and pocket 100% of the profits.

In short, they're not just buying an EBOOK, they're buying a BUSINESS ASSET from which they generate revenues.

Since they get the Resale Rights for life, they could be making hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of a few years.

Because of those reasons, you will find it rather easy to sell them the ebook.

Check out the ebook for yourself at http://systematicwealth.wordpress.com/ and let me know what you think.

Thanks.

Enjoy!

I will explain later on the site above that there is a CRITICAL reason why I used diagrams extensively in this book.

It's to impress on your neural network (in your brain) certain KEY distinctions that will enable you to think BETTER than most people, who are trapped in the employee mentality.

You see, most books are written in prose (that is, only text) and thus, readers don't retain what they've learned.

As a result, they don't change anything in their lives.

Most people read tons of non-fiction books, yet can't change anything in their lives.

The Systematic Wealth Creation product line I'm creating, is more training-oriented and will enable you to acquire REAL skills for systematically building your wealth in this life.

More to come!

Live in the world, work in Cyberworld

When you go out with friends, you're usually going to a real restaurant or movie theatre or amusement park etc.

Because of this, most people naturally assume that "work" should also occur in the "real" world and not in cyberspace.

This is why people (automatically) assume that a job is a place you go to (e.g. a building or cubicle).

More and more, however, people will not "go to work."

Work will come to them! (No matter where they are on this planet).

In other words, people will still live in the physical world (and have a social life in the physical world), but they will work in CYBERSPACE.

In particular, people whose jobs are knowledge-intensive.

Broadly speaking, there will be 3 kinds of workers:

PROLETARIAT - Manual workers or workers doing mostly physical tasks (in a manufacturing plant, in retail stores, etc.)

PRODUCERS - Knowledge workers working in offices; white-collar workers like professionals, managers, etc.

PROGRAMMERS - Elite workers who don't "work" but create "labots" that work for them (labot = robotized labor)

You're probably thinking that I drank too much coffee today and the last type of worker doesn't exist yet. :)

Yet, by visiting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_de_Garis, you'll see that "brain building" is already an industry.

The basic thing to know about PROGRAMMERS is that they code. They don't work.

They then sell their source code and finished programmed products to the world.

This is how smart people will make a fortune in the Cyber Economy.

You might know the following "programmers": Rich Schefren, Katie Freiling, Eben Pagan, etc. They are known as Internet marketers, but one can also consider them to be "programmers" who program the Web to capture people's attention and then convert that attention into INTEREST, DESIRE AND FINALLY ACTION.

That's how you get rich: you convert attention into interest, then into desire, and finally into action (i.e. a purchase).

Notice that all of this is happening in the MIND of people.

So the Cyber Economy is, practically speaking, the "mental economy."

This means programmers are elite workers who program people's minds. More often than not, people cannot escape from those programs, which is why their lives are repetitive, not creative.

Facebook, TV news and advertisements, magazines, newspapers, etc. are various forms of programmings from which most people cannot escape.

The ONLY way to escape from such programmings, is to become a programmer yourself.

Autoseminars -- The next big thing?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f60nUiTrMvU

Since the summer of 2010, I've been studying and playing with a programming language in order to create an "autoseminar."

As the word implies, this is a seminar that runs "automatically."

In the above Youtube link, you can see how it works.

Before I explain further, I must say that you can benefit GREATLY from learning about how to program (and it's quite easy, will tell you more about it) because information technology is a POWERFUL way to LEVERAGE your expertise, assets, career, experience, business, etc.

In other words, you can only choose between LABOR and LEVERAGE.

Most people are "labor", that is, they work for a living. Nothing wrong with that.

I worked hard in my 20s for Fortune 500 companies and learned everything I could from them.

But most people eventually realize that you can't get LEVERAGE when you're LABOR.

Leverage simply means "doing a little to accomplish a lot."

Employees (that is, "labor") experience the opposite: they do a lot but cannot accomplish as much.

In fact, in today's competitive economy, employers will force employees to work harder and harder -- all for the same pay.

No wonder that I read in the news yesterday that according to a survey by Mercer Consulting, half of employees (in Canada) are "disengaged" from their work. They are actually looking for job opportunities elsewhere.

Since capitalism is a global phenomenon, I assume the same proportion of people are dissatisfied from their work in other countries like the US or Europe.

Yet, looking for another job is not the solution since chances are, the new employer will apply the same pressure. It's not that bosses are evil or malevolent, it's just that under the rules of capitalism, BUSINESS OWNERS MUST EXPLOIT LABOR.

That is the only way to continually increase profits (which is what business owners and shareholders want).

If you're an employee, you want to shift from being "labor" to creating "leverage."

I understood this since June 2000, when I quit corporate Canada for good (I was 31 years old).

So during the following 10 years, I searched for ways to create LEVERAGE in order to ensure my economic survival.

I thought of talent (my own and other people's talent), knowledge, skills, etc.

But ultimately, in 2010, I discovered -- in large part thanks to Ray Kurzweil's ideas about exponential growth through information technology -- that artificial intelligence and expert systems and computer programming are THE ultimate leverage.

It is no accident that 7 out of the 10 biggest firms in the US are related to software: Oracle, Microsoft, etc.

Now, to get back to the Youtube video above, what I wanted to show you was that I used a simple scripting language to create an executable file.

Then, as you can see in the video, I opened that file (named "bmwseminar$20.exe").

Next, as if by magic, a stream of text, strategically timed, appears on the computer screen.

Notice that this streaming text is NOT like a page of static text: because the text is flowing continuously, you are driven to read fast and not read in a leisurely, idle manner.

This executable file is called an "autoseminar" because the seminar runs automatically on the client's computer screen.

This file is literally a product I created, which can be sold or given away. It took me one day to write it.

More details about the principles behind the BMW seminar can be found at http://businessmodelworkout.blogspot.com.

What do I wonder whether "autoseminars" are the next big thing?

That's because the New Economy will be extremely competitive, and training/education will be products very much in demand.

So your ability to create or resell (other people's training products) will be key to your success.

Don't worry at all if you don't know how to program, I will teach you. It's quite simple, I learned in a few days.

Once you know how to program, you can create executable files of increasing sophistication and be able to sell them for up to $500 or even more (on sites like freemarket.com).

Do your passion (I can die in peace now)

http://youtu.be/2DVkT50UOjc

If I had to summarize the nearly 1,000 posts written so far on this blog, it would be "Do your passion!"

In the above video, that's what I tried to explain.

The principle is that "passion is ALWAYS sustainable," financially and in other ways such as resources, people, encounters, luck, etc.

This is what I've been telling all my clients and workshop participants in the last 6 years since I co-founded Talentelle with my sister Zoonie: Do what excites you!

People often have a hard time believing that they can just DO WHAT THEY LOVE TO DO and be paid for it.

That's because they (unconsciously?) define "work" as "doing something you'd rather not do, so you get paid."

The NEW work is all about "doing what you LOVE to do and get paid good money for it."

If you disagree with the above statement and you believe that "work" is something you MUST do (in order to pay the bills, the mortgage, support your family, etc.), then THAT is precisely the experience you will have (till you retire at age 65).

But you will have that experience BECAUSE that is how you define things, how you hold certain beliefs.

Change your beliefs and your experience WILL change!

I did change my beliefs and my whole experience has shifted, so that now I do exactly what I love to do every day and get paid good money for it.

Things were not always like this since, as you might expect, I had doubts about "doing what I love to do and get paid good money."

So if you have doubts -- that is, you don't believe that you can do what you LOVE to do and get paid for it -- I totally understand you.

I've been there, I know what it feels like.

Now that I'm on "the other side" and have absolutely NO DOUBT about doing what I love and getting paid good money for it, I can help people who still have doubts.

Of course, I'm not suggesting that you suddenly quit your daytime job and forget about your financial obligations!

But I am suggesting that you start to do more often the things you LOVE to do.

The more you do things you LOVE to do, the more love you will feel for yourself. That is true wealth: to love oneself.

As you FEEL this wealth inside of you, you will naturally and effortlessly attract wealth opportunities into your life.

Here, a word of caution: opportunities WILL come to you but they will usually not have the label "opportunity" on them! So you gotta pay attention to what's coming to you!

Yes, I mean opportunities to make more money WHILE doing what you love to do.

The trick, and this is REALLY important, is always do what excites you.

So for example, at any moment of the day, you will have certain options available to you (about what you CAN do). Of all those options available, CHOOSE the option that feels most exciting to you.

Keep doing this as a matter of reflex, and it WILL lead you to your passion-based career.

This method has worked wonders for me, so that's why I'm recommending it to you.

For instance, in the last few weeks, I have suddenly become a Camtasia expert, creating and producing tons of training videos while also developing my expertise as a strategic AI specialist (I create executable software applications that will be sold worldwide).

These apps are not like Excel or Word, which do nothing for people.

These AI-based apps actually contain expert systems and artificial intelligence (including inference engines, which I'll explain in a future post) that DO something concrete for the user.

These apps will generate six-figure incomes not just for me, but for my affiliates and resellers as well -- of that, I'm pretty convinced.

All of this just because I "followed my passion."

The other "path" is to do what you think you're supposed to do. That is, repeat your daily routine more or less like what you've done yesterday.

If that works for you, keep doing that.

But I suspect that more and more people are awakening to the fact that today, they can do much more than what they used to do.

However, this insanely great life is reserved for people who follow their heart and who don't think too much.

As a society, we are overly rational, overly logical. We rarely listen to our hearts.

Our lives simply cannot change significantly and become better significantly unless we start listening to our hearts and start acting out of joy and passion and creativity.

A very powerful spiritual principle states that life is nothing but the mirror of your choices, beliefs, assumptions, and expectations.

So if you want your life to change for the better, you must choose AGAIN. Choose with your heart and your whole life will change.

It's taken me a couple of years to understand this, but now I fully understand it (I guess I'm a slow learner!).

But it doesn't have to take you so long. As you practice this habit of doing what excites you, it WILL lead you to your ideal career -- one based on your passion and natural talent.

And like me, you will discover how easy, natural and effortless the process is! You just have to let go of your logical mind and let Life guide you.

As Oprah said in her last show, "Embrace the life that has been calling you and use your life to serve the world."

Transcendent Man + Share and become rich

If you wish to know what the future will look like, I highly recommend watching the Transcendent Man, an hour-long documentary on the life and ideas of futurist and inventor Raymond Kurzweil.

Kurzweil basically argues, in his book The Singularity, that as soon as 2029, technology and artificial intelligence will be so fast and sophisticated that it will "fold on itself" and dramatically accelerate its own development.

Bill Gates himself acknowledges that Kurzweil is the best at predicting technological trends, so it would be rather unwise to dismiss his ideas as being too farfetched.

From my own experience, having delved into artificial intelligence research since last summer (2010) and various technologies like video capture and editing (using Camtasia in particular), I tend to believe Kurzweil.

What does this mean for you, practically speaking?

How is Kurzweil related to success?

Well, no matter how you define "success" and in what areas you wish experience more success, one thing is for sure: you can benefit greatly by learning to use technology STRATEGICALLY.

Technology is, in the end, only an amplifier; an accelerator; a multiplier.

It must have something to amplify, accelerate, or multiply.

So if you concentrate your efforts, energies, ideas, abilities, strengths, etc. and create VALUE, then technology (which, as Kurzweil correctly mentions, will grow EXPONENTIALLY) will amplify, accelerate and multiply your VALUE.

Yes, this means you can become very rich very fast.

This is not something historically new: Henry Ford took a while to become rich through the automobile industry, Bill Gates took less time, Jeff Bezos (Amazon) took even less time, and pretty soon, smart teenagers can become super-rich by floating a new product or app via Facebook or similar social media.

Teenagers or young people in their 20s will be more fluent in the usage of cutting-edge technologies, thus they will only have to create some value (product or service) and be able to market it, technologically, to millions of people.

I say "market" but perhaps that word is no longer accurate. "Sharing" one's products (and of course giving away the early versions for free -- this is called beta testing) is a better term.

The current issue of Harvard Business Review has an interesting article on how making your product "shareable" (by inserting a Share button) will multiply marketing effectiveness by 400%!

This is incredible when you think about it, because business has traditionally been about "exploitation." A business owner exploits the labor (the services that workers provide) in order to maximize profits.

In the New Economy (which, again, will be run by and through continually evolving technologies and AI, as Kurweil points out), it is by SHARING that you will become rich.

Think about this for a minute.

It means that the more of a caring and generous person you are, the faster you will achieve financial freedom and wealth.

Obliquity, by John Kay

Achieving success is what we all want. But are we going about it in the right way?

And what is the "right way", anyway?

In his book, Obliquity, John Kay explains that often, one can achieve one's goals by being INDIRECT.

The author argues that often the most profitable firms are not profit-driven; the happiest people do not (directly) seek "happiness" but engage in "flowful" activities (which totally absorb their mind).

Note: He refers to "flow," a body of work pioneered by Mihalyi and summarized succinctly in his book, Flow - the psychology of optimal experience. (It's the best book I ever read about DESIGNING fulfilling activities that lead to happiness in life. I've used the book to design experiences that totally engage my mind. This total loss of oneself in a flowful activity, enables a person to turn her passion into a talent. After 5-10 years, they become the best in their field.

That is, they have a talent that can now be turned into a career or a business.

Often, people have a passion but do not know how to design the environment (physical, psychological, social, material) that will drive them to "flowfully" develop this passion further and further. Thus, the passion fails to become a talent, and the talent fails to become a fulfilling career or small business.

The process I created to capture this all-important imperative of "following one's bliss", as famed mythologist Joseph Campbell put it, has four phases:

- Fear
- Freedom
- Flow
- Fortune

From the above, I tend to agree with Kay's premise, that our goals in life (or visions, dreams, objectives, no matter what we call the objects of desire that we aim for) can be best achieved INDIRECTLY.

So first, a person must acknowledge she is afraid. She feels, consciously or not, the fear of deviating from societal norms and even norms set by parents, consciously or not.

Then, she can be free to explore; free to be herself TRULY and AUTHENTICALLY.

Next, she learns how to design environments where she can experience "flow", almost by default.

For example, at home I have notebooks and pens everywhere, including calligraphy pens, so this deliberately designed environment enables me to practice the writer's craft (and my calligraphy) often. Every day, in fact.

Finally, and this is the easy part, she creates a FORTUNE for herself, having diligently gone through the previous phases.

Eat pill, get rich

I just saw this movie yesterday, Limitless, starring Bradley Cooper and it just blew my mind!

The story is pretty interesting: a struggling writer is introduced to a "magic" pill that supposedly will enable him to use parts of his brain that he normally doesn't use.

This results in his being not only ultra-rational and lucid, but extremely creative and physically powerful in life-threatening situations.

The idea of a magic pill might be difficult to swallow (pardon the pun), but the logic behind how the process of cerebral enhancement is not farfetched: the person is pharmaceutically induced to become hyper-activated, neurologically speaking, and thus can access memories stored in the brain.

He's also able to "connect the dots" very fast, giving him the necessary background information to reach correct conclusions and make all the right decisions.

This magic pill enables our hero, Eddie Morra, to learn the finance game and turn $12,000 into $2.3M in 10 days!

Obviously, that part was highly interesting to me as I position myself as a wealth creation innovator.

I'm looking for ideas and technologies that can help people to create more wealth more effortlessly.

This movie gave me tons of ideas on how people can use their brain, as well as publicly available information in order to create value, products, services, wealth, etc.

The real-life person who comes closest to this ideal of being able to think extremely fast while making accurate judgments, is billionaire Charlie Munger, who often talked about his "secret": he continually creates new mental models and links them in what he calls a "lattice of mental models" which enables him to conjecture, think, conclude and validate his hypotheses, assumptions, and reasoning.

In the end, whether such a magic pill exists or not, and whether it can be invented one day, is not as relevant as the hope that it provides to viewers. The hope that we CAN become smarter every day, if only we spent some time to think consciously, and even think about how we think so we can correct ourselves all the time.

8 ways to make credible promises

In the last episode, I talked about how you can WIN in life by creating ASSURANCES and not PROMISES (which are difficult to believe, especially by new clients, employers or even... lovers!).

So succeed in life, in your career, in your business or even in your love life, depends on your ability to create assurances, that is, mechanisms that show to the other party that it will be VERY difficult for you to NOT keep your promise.

From my research, here are the 8 ways to make your promises credible, that is, to create ASSURANCES:

1. Small steps
2. Reputation
3. Contracts
4. Mandated agents
5. Cutting off bridges
6. Irreversible communications
7. Brinkmanship
8. Teamwork

Take #3, or contracts.

It can be very legal, or a simple agreement (in writing) between two people.

Let's say, for instance, that you're a smoker and you promise to your wife that you will stop smoking within a year.

Your (smart) wife is a subscriber to this (great) blog so she asks you, "Are you really serious about quitting cigarettes?"

You say YES.

Then, she writes up a one-page agreement which you will sign, and this agreement says that if you do not stop smoking within a year, you agree to donate $5,000 to a charity of your choice.

Of course, how this thing unfolds depends on the kind of relationship between you and your wife.

But my point is that a simple verbal promise is not enough: it doesn't really reassure the other person, nor does it compel or motivate you to keep your promise.

It is too easy, after one year has passed, for a person to say, "Well, I tried to stop smoking. I'll try again for another year."

Now, I know it is NOT easy for a person to stop smoking. So I empathize with those who try to stop, and I admire their courage for deciding to stop.

So you can take another example, like a boss promising to an employee that within 9 months, she will get a salary increase.

This female employee, also a smart woman who subscribes to my blog (LOL!), asks her boss to put down in writing that he will increase her salary by __ % within 9 months.

Not that this contract or agreement is legally binding, but it sure will motivate her boss to do his very best to keep his word.

I will talk more about the other 7 ways to create assurances, but my point is simply that to succeed in this world, you need to keep your word AND you need to trust that others will keep their word.

Good intentions are not enough; these 8 ways of creating credible promises (or assurances) will help you to keep your word and will motivate others, psychologically, to do their best to keep their word.

Please share this post with your friends if you found it useful. Share the love, share the wealth!

To succeed, create assurances, not promises

Success in life depends on "assurances" not "promises." (Both promises you make and promises that other people make to you).

An assurance, is a promise that has been programmed, in some way, to result in its fulfillment.

A promise, on the other hand, is just a promise; it's just a verbal statement of what you intend to do. You might, for various reasons, change your mind later on (in which case the other person loses, and you also lose your credibility).

So how do you create ASSURANCES rather than PROMISES?

The secret is to focus on PLEASURE and PAIN.

In other words, make sure that if you keep your promise (to your friends, family, clients, etc.), you will gain something valuable, and also that if you fail on your promise, you will SUFFER something significant.

For example, the two young founders of Notehall.com intiially "promised" to Dragon investors that within 24 months, they'd generate 10 million dollars in revenues (or a similar amount, I don't remember exactly).

The investors' reaction was, understandably, one of disbelief. They even thought these two kids were a bit arrogant.

But then came the punch line from the two entrepreneurs: "If we don't deliver on that promise, we both will give you our share of the business."

In other words, they would lose the business they founded if they did not deliver on the promise!

This time, the investors were very impressed! Ah, they thought, they're putting their money where their mouth is!

So guess what? They got their investment from some of those investors!

You can check out Notehall.com, they're successful.

Now, in your case, you might not be an entrepreneur seeking capital. You might be a job seeker or an entrepreneur seeking joint venture partners.

Regardless, this principle will still serve you well.

In other words, create assurances, not promises. Nobody believes in a promise, and those who do are not serious about the deal they are getting into.

Notice, by the way, that an assurance is not the opposite of a promise; it includes yet transcends the promise.

A promise is like an atom, an assurance then is the molecule: it includes yet transcends the atom.

A promise is like a body part (like your right hand) while an assurance is the entire body; it has more power.

In the end, when you look at success and how it happens, it usually depends on other people collaborating with you or buying from you or partnering with you.

Yet, they (the smart and rich ones) won't deal with you if you only offer promises. You've got to be creative and create assurances where, if you fail to deliver, you are penalized, but also you are rewarded if you perform.

Your clients and partners, therefore, know that you are likely to keep your promises.

In a future post, I will talk about 8 secret methods for making your promises credible, that is, promises that will be instantly believed by other people.

How to use the "hypnotic" writing technique

As promised in my last post, here's how I used the "hypnotic" writing technique to write an audiobook of 60 minutes, titled The Wimp and the Millionaire (you can read more about it in Joe Vitale's book, Hypnotic Marketing, although this post is informative enough for you to begin practicing that technique).

In fact, today, I wrote a 40-minute audiobook titled A Million Dollars in Your House. I'll share that audiobook with you later on.

As usual, this audiobook was completely spontaneous: I was preparing my coffee at 9 AM when that sentence, "a million dollars in your house", suddenly "came up" in my little head. I have NO CLUE where it came from, I guess it's some sort of inspiration.

Anyways, back to the making of The Wimp and the Millionaire.

I simply turned on my Audacity application (which you can download for free at http://audacity.sourceforge.net) and began to speak into my microphone.

The session went something like this:

"Okay, today I'm going to talk about an audiobook titled, The Wimp and the Millionaire. This book is about how each man has, within himself, BOTH a wimp aspect and a millionaire aspect.

Here, a reader might ask, "Oh, it's like Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Poor Dad!"

Yes, I would answer, but in his case, it's about two EXTERNAL sources of influences: his Dad who was an educator and the Dad of his best friend, who was a multimillionaire entrepreneur.

This book is more about the INTERNAL entities within EACH man, without exception. So there's the wimpish entity, driven by fear, and the rich, abundant or "millionaire" entity driven by joy, love, service, creativity, etc.

So above is basically how the first few minutes went. Completely unscripted, pure spontaneous creativity flowing out of my mouth.

The technique is basically about how to just have a conversation, a very normal conversation with your readers. Of course, since you're likely to have MANY types of readers, any question can come from any of those readers.

For example, a reader of The Wimp and the Millionaire could be a free agent, another could be an entrepreneur, a third could be an employee, etc.

Here, you might say, "That's great, Peter, but I'm not an author or an expert. My goal is not to write a book."

True. But please remember that this is JUST a conversation that you're having with "imaginary" readers (however, to ground your questions in practical reality, imagine that your readers asking questions are people that you actually know -- your clients, boss, coworkers, family, friends, etc.).

So this conversation is an easy, fun way for you to make explicit what it is that you know, and what your experience has been.

The power of this technique is that it keeps you CONNECTED to the reader at all times, so you never lose his attention. Thus, he won't likely put down your book (or anything else you write, for that matter, whether it's a blog, a website, a report, etc.).

Today, with Facebook and Linkedin (which went public yesterday), we talk often about "connections" and "connectivity" but real, deep lasting "connection" only comes when you master the art of conversation (writing is just conversation, but on paper).

Here's a real-life example of how a job seeker was able to use this "hypnotic" technique to land a job.

She was interviewed by a manager, and he seemed preoccupied, like something else was on his mind. She was also a bit nervous as she felt she didn't have all the experience and credentials required.

So she told him frankly, "Sir, look, I know I'm probably not at the top of your list, but I can see that you could use a good employee who's willing to work hard. I can back you up any time you need me. I can help organize this office and even do overtime and work smart so you don't feel overloaded."

Obviously, he was impressed by her genuine offer of help, so he hired her on the spot.

You see, that is the power of connection.

And you can use that power when you write, when you apply for a job, when you sell, etc.

You just have to know (or predict as best you can) how the other person is THINKING and especially what she is FEELING.

Having 500 friends on Facebook or 1,000 connections on Linkedin will not help if you're not interested in getting to know the other person well enough to PREDICT her reaction to what you are saying or writing.

"Hypnotic writing technique" sounds fancy yet it's just about BEING INTERESTED in the other person's point of view, as well as her life, her struggles, her issues, etc.

Dale Carnegie talked extensively about this in his book How to win friends and influence people. He wrote, "To be interesting, be interested."

As you write (a blog, a book, etc.), be interested in your readers' lives, what they are going through which you can help them with.

Here, you might ask, "Why would I write a book or record an audiobook?"

Because it's the EASIEST way to create a product in 60 minutes or less! :)

Your next question might be, "Why would I want to create a product?"

Because the Internet exists to sell your product so you can generate passive income from it, and eventually achieve financial freedom. That is, you will no longer have to work for a living. You will only do work that you LOVE to do (in fact, it's more like play and not work!).

More in my next post.

How I created an audiobook in 60 minutes!

As I promised my brother, I'll share here something I did yesterday that will generate quite a bit of passive income.

It's a secret technique which I'll call NITRO, for Neural Inference Tension for Recurring Optimization.

I hope that this acronym sounds sophisticated enough to impress you. LOL!

Anyways, in exactly 60 minutes, I created an audiobook of... 60 minutes. This audiobook is titled The Wimp and the Millionaire, a sure best-seller.

The basic premise is that inside every man, there is a wimp and a millionaire -- so ladies, make sure you forward this post to your boyfriends, husbands, or any important male in your life! :)

The wimp is fear-driven while the millionaire is joy-inspired.

Again, no man should feel defensive because ALL men have BOTH the wimp and the millionaire inside of them.

So this audiobook explores the various issues that, if resolved, will enable men to think, feel, act and behave more like millionaires.

The main point of this post is that I woke up at 6 AM yesterday and had this insight of "mindlessly" writing (or recording, rather) a book in 60 minutes.

I intuitively created the NITRO approach, which is not entirely new. Many millionaire copywriters and Internet marketers are already using a form or a version of that technique.

NITRO basically enables you, as a writer, to create a threat of arousal so as to sustain both your writing the book and the customer reading the book.

What's the best analogy for this? Okay, it's like you're a belly-dancer. So you know all the sensual moves that will sustain male attention. And you continually MAKE those moves.

I hope this is not a sexist analogy cuz I respect women. :)

So the idea behind NITRO is that AS you write (or record your voice for an audiobook), you ALSO maintain an awareness of what and how the typical reader is thinking IN RESPONSE to your sentences and words.

In short, you can accurately predict what the reader is thinking so that you can EASILY write the next sentence. This is why I say that with NITRO, a book will write itself. You just have to write a provocative sentence, and let the rest flow smoothly from that first sentence.

This is probably how Isaac Asimov was able to write 300 books in his life. No, that's not a typo! 300 books! (both fiction and non-fiction).

He didn't use a word processor or computer, but the good old electric typewriter.

My point is that you can write an ebook or record an audiobook like I did yesterday, by simply using Audacity (a free sound editing application available at http://audacity.sourceforge.net).

In the next post, I'll give you a sample of my last audiobook, The Wimp and the Millionaire, so you see how the NITRO technique works.

Free newsletter to help your IDEAL career!

More and more people are awakening to the fact that they are the CREATOR of their reality, and that they CAN create their own PERFECT career.

So I thought I'd release this powerful newsletter free of charge to all people, to help them in their pursuit of this ideal career.

Check it out here!

http://idealcareernews.wordpress.com

By the way, I'm writing and publishing that monthly newsletter just for fun! The more free stuff I give away, the more powerful I feel! It's really, really strange.

You can also download my 500-page ebook, Systematic Wealth Creaion, for free here:

http://systematicwealthsample.wordpress.com

One last thing (or piece of advice) just in case I get hit by the proverbial truck tomorrow:

The secret to wealth is to give to others, consistently. Doesn't matter how much you give, only that you give sincerely for their own good and that you do so consistently.

I just can't believe how many great ideas and projects come my way, just because I started implementing that idea of giving consistently.

It's like I'm playing a Jedi mind trick to the Universe. The Universe is going, 'Wait a minute, this Peter guy keeps on giving value to more and more people! What the, he must be really wealthy! Alright, then, we'll have to arrange his life circumstances to REFLECT his limitless wealth."

Friends, THAT is how it works! The Universe is just a reflection of what we believe about ourselves, and about each topic (ex. health, family, love, friendship, career, etc.) in our lives -- these topics being only an aspect of ourselves.

So a person might say, "I totally believe I am wealthy" yet Law of Attraction won't work because the Universe just doesn't believe it till it sees you ACTING like as if you were REALLY wealthy.

This is crazy, it's like as if you had to perform, like an actor, the role of a millionaire or rich person in order to really become rich!

You have to deliver an Oscar-winning performance in order to get the life you want!

In short, you have to ACT it out before you can have the reality you want.

I'll write more on this later.

Amazing secret for wealth, health and peace

Boy, oh boy, oh boy!!

Friends, I can hardly contain my excitement as I just stepped out of Indigo Bookstore and quickly read Joe Vitale's latest book, Zero Limits.

There's a chapter in there (on the Shocking Truth About Intentions) that contains a MAJOR -- and I mean, MAJOR!! -- insight on how to create the perfect life for yourself AND for others.

I really encourage you to get the book.

Here's briefly what Dr Vitale discovered about "intentions":

There's Inspiration first, which happens at the subconscious level, and then we decide or not to FOLLOW that inspiration or idea or impulse.

The ego or rational intellect or physical mind is probably making the conscious decision whether or not to FOLLOW the idea, inspiration or intuition.

Rhonda Byrne, producer of the movie The Secret, for instance admitted she received the idea and, in 10 minutes, created the famous trailer.

She COULD have decided, upon receiving the idea, to not do it. Her ego or physical mind might have rationalized, "Oh, boy, that's just too crazy, it will never work! I don't even know HOW it could possibly work!"

Yet, tons of doors opened once she ACTED on her inspiration.

This happened to me particularly this summer, when I launched my new career in artificial intelligence. I ACTED on every idea I had, and I just can't believe the number of great and PROFITABLE ideas that are flowing into my little head!

At this pace, I have to hire hundreds of people to help me execute these ideas (and there's profit-sharing for everyone!).

Anyways, get a copy of Dr Vitale's book, it is BEYOND the Law of Attraction (although that's a great law of manifestation).

It's more like the Law of Divine Will, and once you align with it, you naturally do what is BEST for all human beings. Then, automatically, you are also doing what is BEST for yourself -- for you are an integral part of the whole.

Let me know your thoughts after you read the book!

I will write more on this subject later on.

Success attracts success!

Here's an easy way to attract success: focus on what you're currently doing that feels successful to you.

In other words, choose to do activities where you feel competent and successful. Then, pause once in a while and FEEL how amazing it is -- this feeling of being successful at something.

What is important is NOT the activity per se, or how "important" it is. For example, you could be cooking a favorite dish, or doing a hobby.

What IS important is that you FEEL successful.

In short, the secret is that success attracts success.

How do you apply this principle to solve a problem in life?

For example, suppose you're deep in debt (many people are, so don't worry about it).

Normally, most people would -- upon examining that topic of personal debt -- immediately feel BAD. They feel they have FAILED. They feel they LET THEMSELVES DOWN. They feel they lacked control in the past, or lacked discipline.

Can you see how the above BAD FEELINGS, cannot lead to success?

Only success leads to (or attracts) success.

You might say, "Well, Peter, how can I NOT feel bad about my personal debt? Isn't personal debt (say, you owe $20,000 in student loan or other loans) a bad thing?"

No, it's not. It is a fact, a neutral situation. It only becomes a "bad thing" if you assign a NEGATIVE MEANING to it.

Don't believe me? Think about Donald Trump's situation during the real estate crash, where he owed 2 billion dollars in debt. All his multimillionaire friends were panicking, losing their sleep and even begging the bankers to give them a chance.

Trump, for his part, slept quite well and never had to beg. He simply and calmly negotiated with bankers while encouraging his team to clearly see the future, the amazing future that he described in great detail for them.

Trump understands that he is more powerful than anything that happens to him. Most people who have achieved enormous success -- and become teachers to many -- have similarly understood that they are more powerful than anything that happens to them.

They understand that nothing is negative in itself. An event or fact becomes negative ONLY IF you assign a negative meaning to it.

So, getting back to our person debt example, yes of course acknowledge how much debt you owe, and write it on your balance sheet (beside your assets column).

But do NOT get emotionally down because of your debt.

Think of the money game as a video game.

Sure, people who have zero debt, start the game with a score of "0." You might start the game with a negative score of "-20,000" but you KNOW you can get back to zero, and then start having a positive score.

So WHERE you start playing the money game, is not that important.

In fact, if you start with a negative score (ie. you're deep into debt), then your glory will be all the greater once you come back and get your "financial revenge"!

My point is simply that one should never, ever feel bad about anything.

Yes, acknowledge INTELLECTUALLY where you are (whether it's your finance, weight, health, social life, love life, family life, career, etc.) but do NOT feel bad about any of it.

Feeling bad about being in a bad situation, WILL make things WORSE. It will attract MORE evidence that matches your feeling bad.

Even in a bad situation, there is a "fruit" that you can pick -- a lesson that you can learn.

Your job is not to "get out" of the bad situation but "get into it" deeper until you see the fruit or the lesson that's in there for you!

The fruit or the lesson WILL bring you out of the bad situation!!

Think of it this way: a bad situation is like cold syrup, a full glass of it. It might taste bad, but you MUST drink ALL of it in order to get the full benefit.

Now, I'm not saying that upon looking at your liabilities or debt, you should jump up and down with joy! You can't do that authentically, anyways. You know you'd be faking joy.

You would probably feel bad or guilty, but accept those feelings. Feel them fully, yet do not get attached to those emotions.

How can I explain this paradox, where you should FEEL the negative emotions yet NOT get attached to them?

Okay, I got it. Imagine that you're an actor, and you play out your role fully and FEEL all the emotions attached to the character. Yet, at the same time, you KNOW deep inside that you're an actor. You are NOT the character who is struggling with personal debt.

Friends, that is the true power of spirituality: it's the ability to remove yourself from the "stage of life" and embrace your identity as the witness, and not just the actor playing a role in life.

The character you are playing, might feel down and depressed because he has personal debt problems, but there IS an aspect of you that is also the detached observer or witness, and this entity CAN feel success.

So to FEEL successful even in the midst of a crisis or personal problem, you must practice the art of DETACHING yourself from your drama.

As you emotionally detach yourself from your drama, you gain a powerful, new and higher vantage point from which you can easily see many perspectives that make you feel successful.

And as you FEEL successful and acknowledge your courage and positive qualities, you will effortlessly attract situations, opportunties, resources, etc. that will REFLECT your state of feeling and being successful.

In short, success attracts success.

Make money by packaging Youtube videos into a DVD

A columnist suggested that a person could create DVDs containing free applications (e.g. Audacity, Freemind, etc.) and sell those DVDs worldwide.

I thought it was a pretty good idea. Easy and simple.

I would go further: you could use www.keepvid.com to download Youtube videos onto your desktop or laptop, burn them into a DVD, and sell those DVDs worldwide also.

Create wealth by REUSING what you already have and are

Here's a success secret that not too many people know. You'll see shortly why Einstein was totally right when he said that imagination is more important than intelligence.

Here's the secret principle for creating massive wealth:

Reuse what you already have and are.

When people seek wealth leading, of course, to financiall freedom (if your annual passive income surpasses the cost of sustaining your favorite lifestyle), they usually focus on acquiring MORE.

More assets, more clients, more products, more markets, etc.

Nothing wrong with that, except that it's arithmetic, not geometric.

Arithmetic, means 2 + 3 +4, etc.

Geometric, means 2 X 3 X 4!

Arithmetic gives you a score of 9, while geometric gives you 24.

Each number can refer to the value of each asset you have. So "2" could refer to the value of your cell phone, "3" could refer to the value of your laptop, etc.

So 2 + 3, means you're putting your cell phone beside your laptop. Together, they have -- on a balance sheet -- a combined value of 5.

2 X 3, however, means you use your cell phone IN CONJUNCTION with your laptop, so as to reuse both in a second way.

Reusing ANY asset in a DIFFERENT way, will AUTOMATICALLY increase its value (no matter what your accountant will say, since he focuses on the book value of an asset and NOT on its "use value").

This is why Swiss knives are so popular: you can use them for SO MANY DIFFERENT PURPOSES.

Okay, here's an example of how you might be using your cell phone IN CONJUNCTION with your laptop.

Your laptop is connected to the Web, and on your cell phone, you have a client. So you walk him through an online PowerPoint presentation that you've uploaded on Google Docs.

Your cell phone is used WITH your laptop, to create value (educational value in this case).

Specifically, your client gets audio and visual.

In such a case, your cell phone has a HIGHER value, and so does your laptop.

This HIGHER value is added on top of the initial value of a cell phone (talking) and the initial value of a laptop (working alone).

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to identify all your current assets and devise ways to use them DIFFERENTLY, either by themselves or in conjunction with other assets.

Notice that this geometric method of increasing your value, does NOT require that you spend cash on acquiring NEW assets (equipment, client list, prospect list, furniture, etc.).

However, it does require imagination. You must imagine what MORE your current assets CAN do for you (or for your client).

It requires right-brain thinking. It requires that you "unfocus" temporarily from what you THINK an object is designed to do, and then you give that object a NEW function or usage.

A rather extreme example of how a person has used his imagination to create massive wealth, is Craig Newmark, founder of Craigslist.

He used the Internet in a DIFFERENT way, to enable millions of people to anonymously do transactions with millions of other people.

Today, 50 million users use Craigslist every month.

My point is that wealth comes from your imaginative reuse of existing assets.

In the next post, I'll talk about how I use Audacity (a free sound editing software application) in conjunction with Windows Movie Maker (also free) to create instructional videos I upload at www.youtube.com/sensemontreal.

Notice that, once again, these apps by themselves don't offer as much value as when you use them TOGETHER.

It is by making assets work TOGETHER in capitalistic fashion, that you create massive wealth.

How I become rich...

Dear Readers,

I wrote the post below for my 500 subscribers of Linkedin User Manual (http://linkedinusermanual.blogspot.com), I thought you might be interested too. Feel free to register to that blog, it is where I am training my 1,100 Linkedin associates to become Wise and Wealthy Warriors!

Have a great day!

Peter

===============

Friends, THIS is the email you have been waiting for all your life. This is the ONE email that reveals how to make money from Linkedin, or the Internet for that matter. So stop whatever you're doing, and read this carefully.

No, I'm not going to sell you anything. I don't want your money (not now, anyways!) LOL!

I'm going to GIVE YOU KNOWLEDGE from which you can make millions of dollars. Well, to be realistic, perhaps hundreds of thousands of dollars.

As I'm writing this, my heart is pounding because I just discovered a powerful and easy way to "publish my mind" all over the Internet.

Now, I'm already CEO and cofounder of Talentelle Inc., a corporation that offers training solutions to career and business women (the women's market is worth trillions of dollars; women spend $20 trillions annually and earn $13 trillions per year. In this recession, they are likely to spend MORE than before on training and career and business).

So financially, I could do just fine with my training firm.

But the Internet... ahh, that's where I'll earn the kind of money that will buy me a private island!

Okay, enough about me. Let's talk about YOU.

You're currently making $107,000 (average household income of Linkedin users). Obviously, you want to make more. More money is always a good idea, right?

Especially if it doesn't involved more effort.

So anyways, I found this way to publish my mind IN REAL TIME on the Internet, and you could do the same.

I assume here that you are an experienced professional who has at least 10 years of solid experience. This is why I am writing this for Linkedin users: on average, they are 41 years old, so that's enough professional experience usually.

Now, what use is publishing one's mind on the Internet? Don't millions of bloggers already do this WITHOUT EARNING A PENNY?

Yes, it is true that most bloggers are not earning money by writing, but that's not because they are not smart. It's only because they have not structured their MIND to think of their intellectual content as CASH.

They're also lacking basic marketing and sales knowhow. For example, the principle is to INCREASE PEOPLE'S DESIRE for your knowledge BEFORE you reveal your knowledge.

A bit like stripteasing, but without using a dancing pole. Haha!

Let's call it "script teasing". You use words to excite people and increase their DESIRE until they go, "Okay, okay, Peter, enough teashing! I want whatever it is that you are offering! Stop the torture! I'll pay NOW! Give it to me!!"

Chances are, you never learned how to script tease at school. It's quite an art, I can tell you.

So anyways, you're smart and you want to make LOTS of money on the Internet. So my system is really about publishing your "mind's content" just enough to tease people, and then charge them for it.

This real-time publishing system, which reaches hundreds of thousands of people effortlessly (because you invite others to profitably collaborate), is a simple enough to set up. Takes no more than a day.

But your mind's content... ahh, that is where the money is! If you cannot turn your mind's content into salivating content (forgive my lurid choice of words), you ain't going nowhere -- financially speaking.

I'm becoming a millionaire because I have this valuable content (I created 40 workshops for my firm, Talentelle Inc.) and I now have the real-time publishing system which broadcasts this training material via hundreds of affiliate channels.

These unmanned affiliate channels, can be manned -- the affiliate only pays a small participation fee, and will be earning passive income for the rest of his/her life.

So recap: to become rich from the Internet, you (a smart, professional Linkedin user) must:

1. Turn your mind's content into salivating content (worth cash)
2. Create a real-time publishing system that broadcasts your salivating content, and asks for payment (via Paypal, Payloadz, etc.)

That's how you become rich. You'll be earning more than $107,000 per year, for sure.

The third step, where you package the above system and sell it off as a franchised, turnkey system, is where you become a true multimillionaire.

STEP 1

This is the hardest step for people, but I've done it and I can help you to do it. Right now, you earn money from your personal services -- that's active income.

Your knowledge is attached to your body, so you cannot sell your knowledge WITHOUT being present (and preferably well shaven and nicely dressed).

I can sell my knowledge WITHOUT being present. I earn passive income from my "bodiless" knowledge. I achieve financial freedom because I can do this.

I can teach you HOW to separate your knowledge from your body. I know, I know, it sounds spooky, but it's a lot of fun.

Once again, I'm assuming that you're a professional (manager, specialist, freelancer, etc.) and that your knowledge has some value.

So once you get help (from me or some other guy speciaizing in Step 1), then you can go to Step 2 in order to share and SELL your knowledge. Like I do. Or you can hire another person to program the Web so you have that real-time publishing system that shares and sell your mind's content on the Internet (that is, worldwide!).

... TO BE CONTINUED ...

Program the Internet to generate wealth, Part 2

In the last post, I wrote about how to program the Net to generate wealth. Here are two examples (of dozens) of how I code the Web to gather information leading to wealth:

http://www.sureforms.net/connectivity.form
http://www.sureforms.net/createyourjob.form

The first one is sent to my 1,100 connections on Linkedin, and those who fill it out will enable me to build a business relationship with them.

The second form (createyourjob.form) enables me to cocreate jobs with those who are interested in creating a perfect job for themselves within one of my ventures.

A third form, at http://www.sureforms.net/gift4women.form, has generated dozens of leads also, enabling me to start a business relationship with those women.

My point is that you can easily "code" or program the Web so as to have "cyber assets" working for you. Why not?

The cyber economy is going to be the next economy, so it makes sense to learn how to use the Web as soon as possible.

Indian workers are already using the Web, built largely by the Americans, to export their services, mostly in information technology.

Meanwhile, in Canada and the US, most people still work in those antiquated physical spaces we call "cubicles."

Nothing wrong with working in a physical office or cubicle, mind you.

But if your work is information-based or knowledge-based, then you should be working in the cyber economy, where your knowledge and information can be represented and then re-presented in MYRIAD ways. Every representation, of course, is a NEW product, serving NEW clients and NEW markets.

This is what I call Cyber Capitalism, and most people (99.9% of the population) do not yet know about the secret principles regulating the Cyber Capitalistic Economy.

If you want to read more about this Cyber Economy, read the book The Sovereign Individual, by James Davidson. A bit technical, but worth to read, for the two authors are extremely knowledgeable about the new cyber economy.

But let's get practical and ask, "WHY would you want to program the Internet?"

Because the Internet is your business manager, your top talent, your employees, your suppliers, your partners, etc.

The Internet can be any of those entities, all working for you or with you.

In short, in your cyber career or cyber business, you don't need to have employees. You can have associates operating on a worldwide basis for you.

But you first need to create cyber assets that, like the two simple online forms above, will generate information for you. Once you have this information, you can work with it, and build relationships with people.

This is another secret I discovered on Linkedin. There are many people who have thousands of connections, yet they don't know how to build a relationship with their connections. It's like having a telephone directory: sure, you have thousands of names and phone numbers, but none of those people trust you, and you also have no reason to trust them.

It doesn't work.

The solution is to program forms online so those who are interested, can share more of their information, and you can share more of your information. The trust will be built over time, and lead to opportunities to collaborate and cocreate value.

One thing is for sure: if you want to make a lot of money from the Internet, you'll have to build relationships with hundreds, if not thousands of people.

This is mainly because it's much more difficult to trust people on the Web: you can't see them, can't sit down and have a coffee with them, can't really know whether what they are telling you is the truth.

So unless you find ways to build trust with people online (who may come from dozens of countries, some of which you may have never visited), you cannot create a sustainable business.

Even a highly successful Internet business guru like Rich Schefren, or Eben Pagan, has had to create videos to show their friendly faces in order to build trust.

There is, however, a social networking site where trust is, more or less, already built: Facebook.

(to be continued)

Program the Internet to generate wealth for yourself

My specialty as an entrepreneur is KNOWLEDGE + INTERNET.

The breakthrough came to me when I realized that the famous "CEO" equation that Ram Charan describes (brilliantly) in his book What the CEO wants you to know, or R = MV, could be applied to Knowledge and Internet.

M refers to profit margin, while V refers to velocity (or sales / assets).

M is something that most professionals understand: your employer pays you a salary, but charges the client a price that is ABOVE your labor cost, and that's how companies make money.

The problem that you have, as an employee, is that although your salary is relatively secure and stable (although this is less and less the case), you do not have VELOCITY.

You can only sell your services to ONE employer, usually.

So that is the ceiling that is imposed on you, as you work within the "corporate" employment system.

Free agents, on the other hand, can offer their services to MORE than one employer or client.

Entrepreneurs go further: they hire people to deliver the services. They have basically taken themselves out of the equation.

This is when they get a chance to truly play the "CEO" game.

Okay, now that you have the background info in mind (and don't worry if you have to re-read the above many times, it is a bit technical), we can go back to the breakthrough that is turning me into a millionaire.

Rather than offer a service, I offer KNOWLEDGE (which can be delivered really, really fast, in any format -- audio, video, DVD, etc.).

And since I know how to program the INTERNET, that takes care of the velocity aspect.

In short, R = MV becomes R = Knowledge X Internet!!

Oh, R stands for Return on Assets.

The model that I use to license my specialized business knowledge to licensees, is not different from Edward de Bono's licensing program, where he offers training to trainers who then use his proprietary creativity workshops to teach and train their own clients.

What does this have to do with you?

The success secret here is 1. to move from offering a service, to offering specialized and valuable knowledge that people would pay for, and 2. to program the Internet to work for you, even when you are sleeping.

An example of "programming the Internet" is http://www.sureforms.net/connectivity.form, where I collect data from prospects in order to generate a report, free of charge, which nevertheless sells my expertise and products.

By the way, a big mistake that many entrepreneurs make is to spend thousands of dollars on a website that offers ABSOLUTELY NO VALUE to visitors!

It took me only 20 minutes to create the above form, which will enable me to create a customized report to help prospects. They are then much more likely to buy from me (if my report is good, that is).

In chess parlance (and I was a champion in my days!), this move is what is called "sacrificing one's rook to capture the opponent's king."

How to share your knowledge on Youtube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=en4ZViUh-Uc

Above is a quick training video I created, on selling. I used the free sound editing software Audacity, then saved it as an MP3 file which I inserted in Windows Movie Maker (also a free software app).

Then, I uploaded the resulting video on Youtube.

The bubble annotations were added after, using Youtube's annotation functionality.

So friends, there you have it, an easy and fun way to capture your valuable knowledge and share it with the world!

Youtube can become Youteach, and you can make lots of money by giving people a preview of what you know so they can either hire you, or buy your products (ideally hosted at Payloadz).

Master your mind to master your life

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zzvVY-bTM4&feature=related

At around 2:10 in the above video, from the metaphysical movie The Shadow, you can learn a great spiritual lesson (while of course enjoying the cinematic effects).

Every person on this planet is on a spiritual journey of self-mastery, and Lamont Cranston (played by Alec Baldwin) is no exception.

Self-mastery means understanding experientially that the world is only an illusion, and that YOU have power over that illusion.

At 2:10, Cranston finally realizes that physically fighting the Purba (the sacred knife from the Tulku, his former master) is useless. He must concentrate his mind in order to control himself, that is, master his fear of death.

Once he achieves that state of mind, he is in a much better position to control the Purba.

Many of you have, or will experience moments in life when you are faced with a version of the Purba -- an instrument apparently external to you, which SEEMS to threaten you. This invokes great fear within your mind or psyche.

However, in your moment of greatest fear, lies your greatest opportunity for self-mastery.

Self-mastery enables you to grow and EXPAND the boundaries of what you thought was your complete self.

Your self is never complete, and you will always grow BEYOND the limits of what you thought was your definite identity.

But growth is not automatic, and requires consciously facing your fears and doubts. Eventually, you realize you created your fears and doubts, including the external symbols designed to TRIGGER your fears and doubts.

You created all of that, at a metaphysical level, in order to EXPERIENCE your own growth and savor the blissful experience of self-expansion.

My sister Zoonie is finalizing her autobiographical book, titled From Chaos To Zen, and it captures the idea that you must face your own fears and demons, and find peace within (or what she calls "zen").

Only then can you truly embark upon the creative path of creating yourself as you WANT yourself to be, without being at the mercy of fears of self-doubts.

In the video above, it is interesting that only when Cranston has the Purba knife cutting his throat does he finally realize the futility of trying to control things at the physical level. He closes his eyes, as if to force himself to ignore physical reality, and accesses the metaphysical realm where he effortlessly controls the Purba.

The principle here, uttered by many spiritual masters, is that "real mastery requires no effort."

Whatever you are trying to achieve in your life, if you feel that you're working too hard, it is probably not the correct method or path.

Are you working too hard to pay off your debt, or keep your job, or "save" your marriage, or find your soul mate? Then your method or technique might be too "physical" and action-oriented, and will not work in the long term.

There is always an effortless path, a path of least resistance. But first, as Cranston illustrates, one must quiet one's mind and eliminate one's fears.

Once you understand this principle whereby you must first calm your mind and control it before you can use it for creative purposes, you are well on your way to achieving anything you desire in life.

Create & Circulate in order to create wealth

The wealth creation formula for creating wealth via the Internet, is very simple: CREATE & CIRCULATE.

I have over 1,000 connections on Linkedin, and no one has (yet) circulated to me something they created.

Sure, I receive business proposal letters, requests for help, etc.

But no creation.

Friends, my point is very simple: Linkedin is of no business or financial value until you've created a product (physical or digital) that you can offer to your Linkedin connections (and even to the connections of your connections -- in that case, a small fee should be given to your connections for forwarding your offer).

If you are a user of Facebook, the same truth applies: no product, no economic usefulness, no money.

If your definition of "success" includes having lots and lots of money, then please consider (seriously) ways of using the Internet to your own advantage.

How? By doing what I wrote above: Create and Circulate.

So how do you create a product?

This is an important question because if you are an employee, chances are, your employer has never trained you on creativity techniques like Edward de Bono's (I've read all his books, the man is a genius).

I can tell you how I created my information products, which are now sold worldwide.

The Ideal Career workshop was the first, created in 2005 and now taught as a special workshop at McGill University for management students.

The BMW workshop was my second "hit", details at http://businessmodelworkout.blogspot.com

Remember, once you create information products or, in the two cases above, instructional products, YOUR FORTUNE IS MADE.

That's because you can offer your info products (at sites like Payloadz) to an INFINITY of buyers online.

Does this mean that a job is bad, since it doesn't really encourage you to create products that you legally own?

Not necessarily. A job is just "free, paid training."

I've always had that attitude, which is why during the 90s (in my 20s), I worked for corporations and learned everything I could from them.

I know all the secrets of IBM, American Express, a large law firm, CDI Corporate Education Services, etc.

Knowing all their secrets, has made me a fearless and lethal entrepreneur today (just kidding... I wouldn't harm a fly).

Anyways, a job is just paid training, and you should seriously consider "graduating" to become an entrepreneur.

Of course, if you're happy at your job and want to remain in it for a long time, hey, more power to you! Don't let me ruin your party.

I'm just saying that you could launch a startup based on your PASSION and make PROFITS from it.

About 10% of Canadians decide to leave the corporate workplace and launch their firm. Most fail.

Even those who build a business based on their passion?

So what's the problem?

WARNING: The following segment contains explicit adult material. If you're under 18, please get back to your homework or go chat on Facebook (just kidding).

The problem is that people don't understand how to use the concept of "orgasm" in business. Too many just fake it.

As for the rest who do not fake it, they are unable to achieve it for several reasons.

Focus on ROI might limit your wealth creation

I wrote a few days ago that a focus on ROI (return on investment) might actually LIMIT how much money you make, and how much wealth you build for yourself.

Let me explain.

The mindset of someone who calculates "strategically and rationally" where to invest his time, energy and/or money, will sometimes force him to overthink and over-analyze. That is, he will tend to be very, very cautious.

This doesn't mean he or she cannot get a good ROI on investments. In fact, people who understand investing and actually take the time to scrutinize the business and micro economics of the companies they invest in, will definitely earn a satisfactory return.

So please understand that I am not "bashing" people who are smart enough and courageous enough to delve into investment seminars, workshops and books in order to better manage their money (which, in most cases, was hard earned).

Indeed, anyone who uses her brain strategically, is to be commended. So few people actually use their intellectual faculties.

However, the secret I want to share with you is that often, in life, you've got to GIVE EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW WITHOUT THINKING RATIONALLY. Just do it spontaneously.

When (or if) you are able to do this, you actually activate a certain vibration within you. The sacred vibration of wealth.

This is why the current Haiti disaster, at a higher level, is a strange blessing for hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. They see the misery, feel compassion, then go to the Red Cross website to donate money.

I heard of a woman on welfare who gave forty bucks. I also heard of an old lady who used her $1,500, which she had saved for a vacation this year, to give to the Haiti relief.

The people who give their time, such as Roger Federer's excellent idea of organizing a exhibition tennis match called Hit for Haiti, or who give their money, are activating within themselves the wealth vibration.

And given the infallibility of the Law of Attraction, they will attract more wealth into their lives.

My point in this post is that when you give WITHOUT THINKING, then you create wealth WITHIN YOU.

Unlike smart investing decisions,which occur at the conscious level, giving without thinking (and doing so consistently) operates at an UNCONSCIOUS level.

The spiritual secret that I'm currently discussing, has been explained extensively by T. Harv Eker in his best seller, Secrets of the Millionaire Mind. Read that book over and over, it will change your life.

This spiritual secret is simple: you only give to yourself, and you only receive from yourself.

So if you want to receive a LOT of abundance, you must first give out a LOT of abundance.

Some people will wait until they are rich before they give to others. But that is like waiting for your reflection in the mirror to smile before you smile. It cannot work that way!

You must give before you can receive, in the same way that you must smile before you see a smiling reflection in the mirror!

Given that principle, how do you get wealthy? You must give, give, give, and then give some more.

Giving must become an unconscious reflex of every day.

This has been my secret in business: I never stop thinking about giving more, more, more, and more to my clients.

This principle of giving before receiving, explains why the rich get richer while the poor get poorer. The rich acquire capital or create businesses which enable them to give more to more people, hence they receive more wealth as a result.

Poor people often look at their conditions, and conclude that they are poor and have little to give. So they don't even give the little they have. Result? They get poorer and poorer.

In short, it's not that there are the haves and have nots. Rather, there are people who think of giving (business people) and there are people who don't think of giving (the poor).

Please understand I'm not passing judgment against poor people. I merely observe how the rich get richer.

Poor people don't understand how it works, so they unwittingly perpetuate the poverty cycle. Hence, it is said that "it is extremely expensive to be poor."

It is not the poor conditions surrounding a poor person that perpetuates the vicious cycle, but the poor thinking that the poor person has adopted and keeps sustaining.

Employees could also be considered "poor." In particular, employees who only do the minimum and who never create anything new at work, are destined to remain employees for a long time.

I was able to quit corporate America at age 31 because I read all of Edward de Bono's books and learned to be creative.

I created all sorts of value in the last 10 years, and am now well on my way to become rich.

Of course, it wasn't easy. But as a wealth teacher, it was necessary for me to make all the mistakes so I could properly teach other people. This way, they won't have to make the costly mistakes I made.

Here's a powerful secret I want to share with you: the path to wealth is sequential and includes the following steps (which I will discuss in more detail later on):

analysis --> value --> job --> business --> investment vehicle --> wealth

Do or doubt + sexy girl in a bikini

Yesterday, I wrote about a success principle stating that you can choose to either DO or DOUBT, but never both.

Doing, is like pressing on the gas pedal. You're moving forward in whatever project you've undertaken.

Doubting, is like pressing on the brake. You will slow down until you completely stop.

This analogy will help to see how ridiculous or silly it is to do something while doubting that you will succeed at it. It's really like pressing on the gas pedal and, AT THE SAME TIME, pressing on the brake!

Some people might say, "Well, I'm not doubting myself, but there are people around me (well-meaning family and friends) who make me lose confidence. Then, I start doubting myself."

Not true. Only you can doubt yourself. The negative or pessimistic opinions and views of others, are like road signs. Concretely, it's like as if they were holding the red STOP sign.

You do NOT have to slow down or stop. If you do stop or slow down, it is because you choose to.

Given the above, it should be fairly clear that you can do anything in life -- one step at a time, of course.

Once again, an analogy will be useful for this principle of progressing "one step at a time."

When you drive a car and accelerate, you CANNOT go from 0 miles per hour to 90 mph instantly. You have to go through intermediate stages or speeds, such as 10 mph, then 20, etc.

Yes, your goal might be to get to a speed of 100 mph, but you can only do so one step or stage at a time.

This success philosophy is what I call "practical idealism."

It means you set an "ideal" vision or goal, but you take "practical" actions where you are right now, and you fully invest yourself into each step or action.

Oprah has a neat saying: "Doing my best right now, puts me in the best position for my next move."

Given the awesome success she has achieved, one would be wise to study what her statement means exactly.

It means that investing yourself 100% into whatever you do, is a reflex of mind and being that will inevitably lead to great success.

So whether you're cleaning the house or walking in the park, do it 100%, with your consciousness fully absorbed into what you do.

In short, "what" you do is not as important as "how" you do it -- with full concentration and focus.

Whatever success and excellence I have achieved in my life, I owe it totally to my ability -- developed early in life -- to focus 100% of myself on the task at hand.

For example, I'm so focused right now on writing this post. My mind is fully absorbed and I strive to share the best of what I know with you.

I'm so concentrated that if a sexy girl in a tiny bikini passed in front of my laptop right now, I wouldn't even notice her. Okay, I'm just kidding, hey I'm not gay and I'm not dead.

I would stop typing and would talk to her while thinking of a casual way to pull out my business card and give it to her, so she can see my title ("President") and be impressed enough to give me her phone number.

By the way, if you're a guy reading this, that is a cool secret you must know. Print business cards because that's an easy way to attract women's attention. Doesn't matter what your business is (women don't care about theh details anyways!).

But seriously, EVERYBODY on this planet will soon become entrepreneurs. "Jobs" will no longer exist, at least not for people who are seriously ambitious.

Here, we go back to my main idea for this post: you cannot DO and DOUBT at the same time, and then expect to succeed in life.

An employee is usually someone who does something (presumably of value) every day, but doubts herself so she stops every day at 5 PM.

This is why there is no "acceleration" in most jobs: by the time the clock shows "4 PM", employees start slowing down.

This is like accelerating from 0 mph to 40 mph, then STOPPING at 5 PM.

Entrepreneurs don't stop at 5 PM, they continue the acceleration. They never stop thinking and "obsessing" about their product or service or solution, and continually use their imagination to create more value -- more, more, more!

This is how they get rich. This is how they attract girls in tiny bikinis, like the one I mentioned a few paragraphs ago (hey, where did she go? Anybody seen her?).

(to be continued)

Focus on the process, not results

To complement what I wrote yesterday regarding believing in yourself and ACTING on your inspired idea, I wish to make a clarification.

I wrote that you should implement an exciting idea without regard to other people's opinions, however do keep in mind that this idea should feel EXCITING to you.

Other people, including friends, family, coworkers, will tend to be cautious, conservative and, well, pessimistic.

Nevertheless, this does not mean you shouldn't consider their analysis.

Just keep in mind -- and this is really important as I have found out myself -- that people will evaluate your ideas based on the PAST.

Most importantly, they will not consider your feeling excited (about your idea) as a relevant factor in their analysis of whether your idea will work.

Yet that is precisely my point: if you truly feel excited about your idea, you should implement it right away. Why even talk to other people about it?

This doesn't mean you can FULLY implement your idea. It simply means you can take decisive steps (these steps should be irreversible, if possible) toward implementing your idea.

The secret is this: In life, in order to succeed, you either DO or you DOUBT. You cannot do both.

Yoda put it differently: "Do or do not. There is no try."

In other words, he's saying that when you "try" to do something, you implicitly acknowledge to yourself and others that there is the possibility of failure. In short, you doubt that you will succeed.

This doubt itself WILL attract to you all kinds of obstacles and difficulties that, had you been totally confident and secure and calm, would not have appeared.

In short, your doubts CREATE your difficulties.

Doubting oneself, is like driving a car down the road while focusing on the tree instead of focusing on the road. You will eventually run into the tree!

This may sound obvious to you, but trust me, I coach entrepreneurs and have noticed many times that they doubt themselves.

So how do you get rid of your doubts?

Here's a trick to put yourself into a supremely confident state of mind WHILE fully enjoying the process or the project you are doing.

Think of a movie that you've enjoyed watching before. In my case, it would be Fight Club.

Now, you KNOW how it ends. It does end well.

So the second time you watch it, you no longer worry or wonder about the ending. You just fully enjoy the movie.

It's the same whenever you do a new project. Imagine that it ends well. Then, you only have to enjoy the process of "getting it done."

What makes it hard for us to enjoy the process, is society's obsession with "results."

As long as a person obsesses about results, he/she is not fully invested in the process (or the game being played). Ironically, the result therefore cannot be good.

On the other hand, when you focused on HAVING FUN right here and right now, the results will take care of themselves.

Think this is farfetched? Consider the advice that Tony Hsieh gave on Oprah. Hsieh is the founder and CEO of Zappos.com. He's only 26 years old.

He said, you should choose work that you are totally passionate about, even if you don't make money for 10 years.

In other words, he's saying that process (or the game being played) is more important than results.

In the next post, I go even further. I will explain why a focus on "return on investment" can actually be detrimental in business and investing.

How I made $1,000 per hour

In my other blog, http://linkedinusermanual.blogspot.com, I wrote in December 2008 about making $1,000 an hour and in 2009, I did... precisely that!

I earned about $1,000 an hour while working on contract for a university.

The secret I want to share with you, is that you can earn ANY amount of money per hour. You just have to set your intention and learn to believe it. By this, I mean you have to think OBSESSIVELY about making $1,000 an hour (or whatever amount you aim for).

That is the power of the Law of Attraction!

I spent two years studying the teachers of the Law of Attraction, mostly Esther Hicks.

A similar law is described in the book The Science of Getting Rich, by Wallace Wattle, written precisely 100 years ago, in 1910. I highly recommend that you get a free copy on the Internet and read it and study it. It will make you fabulously rich.

In short, they are too logical.

They often reject an idea because their rational mind cannot see HOW the idea can be implemented, or how the goal can be achieved "realistically."

The HOW will be provided by the Universe; you only have to set clear intentions about WHAT you want.

The HOW, that is, the specific ideas as to how you can make a large sum of money (or achieve any goal you want), is like a song being broadcast over radio waves. Your job is only to TUNE IN and receive those ideas.

Your next challenge is to TRUST the idea and implement it RIGHT AWAY. Implement it confidently like as if you could not fail!

Even if a survey of 1,000 people revealed that 999 people (except for your mom, of course!) believed you would fail. DO IT ANYWAYS!

If you invest 100% of your energy and faith in your idea, it will not fail. Even in cases where it doesn't show the results desired, you will be at the right place for the next idea which usually is BIGGER and more BEAUTIFUL than the first one.

I will write more about the LOA, stay tuned!
