From The Editor: Have you found your business's "sweet spot" yet? If you aren't sure, today's essay by Toni Chinoy could help answer that question. With a successful business already up and running, Toni thought she had identified her professional niche. But with the help of the Internet Money Club, she was able to take her business in a newer (and more profitable) direction that led to her "sweet spot."

"Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future."

Toni Chinoy

Entrepreneurs, Shiny Objects, and the Internet Money Club
By Toni Chinoy

When I joined the Internet Money Club a year ago, I thought I was doing it to learn how to market on the Internet. But I discovered that the IMC is about much more than Internet Marketing and Business Creation. In addition to the specific skills and understanding necessary to build an Internet business from scratch, the program offers the means for experienced entrepreneurs to discover a precise direction within the feelings, hunches, and compulsions that made them want to create a business in the first place.

Before I became a member of the IMC, I had already accomplished a great deal. As a leadership consultant for the past 25 years, I had worked at all levels in every type of industry, including heavy manufacturing, mining, oil refineries, financial industry, food, and beauty. With a client list that included Kellogg's, Amoco, General Motors, Pepperidge Farm, Godiva, Consolidated Energy, Cypress Coal, Avon, Microsoft, and many others, I had designed and run large training programs (over 30,000 people at a time) and had worked one-on-one with very senior executives in Fortune 500 companies.

I had published 11 books, developed videos, and had already established an Internet presence. What I was missing was focus. I was constantly being distracted by my next big idea. (My son, an F-16 instructor teaching Top Gun techniques, often said to me, "Shiny object, Mother," as I veered off on yet another project.)

Then I read Ready, Fire, Aim by Michael Masterson. The book stressed the need to focus on marketing, and that led me to the Internet Money Club. The IMC, as promised, delivers a well-designed, comprehensive program on Internet marketing. They guide you through a logical sequence of steps, from soup to nuts, that any "would be" entrepreneur would find beneficial. The program helps you identify a viable product to sell, develop a website, and apply proven techniques for attracting customers.

The discoveries you make as a member of the IMC, however, go far beyond learning how to work the Internet. The concepts taught actually help you crystallize and direct your efforts, regardless of how far along you believe your business to be.

"With this system... I'm confident I will earn $10,000 or more next month!"

Why is this newly minted Internet entrepreneur so confident?

She has armed herself with the knowledge to succeed in the world of Internet marketing!

Her knowledge is the result of being tutored and supported by some of the industry's leading experts, and her success story is incredible. You can learn more about it here.

My first big breakthrough came soon after I joined. By making website design less intimidating and presenting websites as a means to test ideas, the IMC encouraged me to create a new website based on a subcategory of my expertise: relationship issues. So I began the discipline of testing response to a newsletter that focused strictly on that theme and building a list of people interested in the subject. After many years of working within the corporate landscape, my sense of my target audience began to shift.

Next, I applied the IMC's concepts to my original business website. I was already publishing a newsletter titled "Don't Look Down" (one of my many shiny objects), which furthered my agenda of helping business leaders identify obstacles to their courage and fight against them. As I began to build a list associated with that newsletter, I discovered that I could consolidate the lists from both newsletters. Directly due to the Internet Money Club's systematic approach to building a business, the shiny objects I had pursued for years started to make sense in terms of an overall plan.

By tracking response to my newsletters through the simple techniques taught in the IMC program, I was able to identify the topics that captured the most attention. Then, inspired by an IMC seminar, I began to offer free teleseminars on those hot topics. My teleseminars (on Bullies, Life's Scary Moments, Responding to Tough Times Effectively, etc.) garnered more names, more exposure, and more business.

As I continued to gather information, I aggressively sought out speaking assignments. My focus shifted from looking for paid assignments to building a bigger list, developing a broader following, and selling more of my books. With this change in perspective (directly attributable to the IMC), I began to book speaking engagements outside of my corporate milieu. I waived my $10,000 speaking fee and spoke for free in exchange for being allowed to market my materials to my audiences.

The success of these efforts confirmed my assumption that what I was doing could be applied to a much more diverse audience than the typical corporate client. And that helped me BRAND my work.

Over the years, I had created a comprehensive curriculum to help my clients handle tough situations and tough people. I had also written a book called Handling Critical Moments With Grace. Now, with an increased awareness of my audience, it became clear that all of my work fell under one umbrella: the idea that doing tough stuff takes practice. As a result of that insight, Practicing Grace surfaced as my brand.

I had found, as so beautifully stated by Rich Schefren at the ETR Bootcamp in November, my "sweet spot."

With the evolution of my brand in the brief period of time of one year -- through a program that I thought would only teach me to market online -- I found myself reinvested in the work that has been my life for 25 y ears. And based on my experience, I am convinced that the Internet Money Club would be an asset for any entrepreneur committed to revitalizing his or her business.

[Ed. Note: As Toni mentioned above, she found success through the Internet Money Club. The program is designed to teach anyone, regardless of past experience (in business or online) how to start and grow a profitable Internet business. You'll learn about e-mail list building, product and content creation, joint ventures and affiliate marketing, copywriting, and much more. Find out more about the Internet Money Club here. But if you want to join, don't wait. Once 250 new members sign up, the doors will be closed for another year.

Toni Lynn Chinoy is the founder of Harlan Evans, Inc. She has written texts on Leadership, Bullies, Personal Styles, Power Games, and other subjects, used extensively by her corporate clients. Now, with what she has learned from the Internet Money Club and ETR, she is bringing her work to a larger audience. Her websites include www.practicinggrace.net, www.shortcutstograce.blogspot.com, and www.relationshiprenovations.com.]

The First Major Shift in Business Thinking Since the
1937 Publication of Think and Grow Rich

Michael Masterson's New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller, Ready, Fire, Aim, lays out a completely new approach to business and life.

It's the blueprint that helped Michael go from pool installer to self-employed multimillionaire before his 40th birthday.

And it's so practical and sensible that just about anyone can use it to make their first $1 million... $50 million... $100 million... or more!

"The Tools to Get Started and Grow My Business"

"My 'little project' started to take shape, thanks to the resources of the Internet Money Club. In particular, thanks to Brian Edmondson, the Internet Money Club's director."

"Left to my own devices, I might still be wondering if my niche, topic, or approach would work. But with the benefit of his perspective, Brian lent me the confidence to keep working the system until I had enough confidence of my own. The Internet Money Club gave me the tools to get started and grow my business. They covered everything a new Internet entrepreneur needs... and then some."

Today's Words That Work: Milieu

A Milieu  (mil-YOO) -- from the French -- is the physical or social setting in which something occurs or develops.

Example (as used by Toni Lynn Chinoy today): "My focus shifted from looking for paid assignments to building a bigger list, developing a broader following, and selling more of my books. With this change in perspective (directly attributable to the IMC), I began to book speaking engagements outside of my corporate milieu."

"When you know that you're capable of dealing with whatever comes, you have the only security the world has to offer."

Harry Brown

A New Year's Plan You Should Start Working on Now

Eddie is a very shrewd guy. In 2004, while the real estate bubble was still inflating in the United States, he took a job I offered him to run a real estate development project in Nicaragua.

He could have made lots more money taking on another project in the U.S., but he decided he was much better off if this -- his fourth stream of income at the time -- came from an economy that was independent of the one he was in.

A year after he made that decision, things in the U.S. started falling apart. One year later, one of his projects went belly up and the income he'd been getting from it stopped completely. A year later, the same thing happened to a second project -- and then a year later, his third U.S. project (which had been generating big cash for him) was crippled by a series of negative events and died an inglorious death.

Had he not taken my offer, he'd be dead broke today. But the Nicaraguan project continued to throw off cash -- more than a million dollars at last count. More important, it led to a bigger project in Panama that is giving him great cash flow now and connections for new deals in the future.

This happened while most of his fellow developers were going completely bust.

I've said it before, but it bears repeating. When it comes to your income, don't rely on a single source for the money you need to live. And you especially don't want to rely on a single source of income if it comes from a business owned by someone other than you!

All over the world, hardworking people are being laid off in record numbers.

You may think that if you have a profitable business or well-paying job now, you are safe. If you believe that, it's probably because you have bought into the government's argument that the Great Recession is over and we are on our way to a slow and steady recovery.

I don't believe that for a second. We are still very much in a recession. What we've experienced so far is just the first stage -- similar to what happened in America in 1928. If you know your financial history, you know that the Great Depression occurred in two distinct periods, with a false recovery in between. That, I'm confident, is what we are experiencing right now.

Our elected officials and their bureaucratic minions won't tell you that, because it is in their interest to lie. So long as they make us feel that the worst is behind us, we will start spending money (money we don't have). That is how they believe recovery will occur.

But you can't recover from debt by taking on more of it. The government deepened our debt by $3 trillion in emergency spending from December 2007 to July 2010.. And it has done nothing to work off the more than $10 trillion in debt it had accumulated before then.

The true indication of economic recovery is employment, and the unemployment rate has not improved at all in the past two years. In fact, it's gotten worse. Even using government figures, it is almost 10% today. But if you analyze unemployment numbers correctly, it is more than 50% higher than that.

Our federal government is in debt, and most municipal governments are too. The debt keeps getting larger, and our government expenses keep going up. Nothing the Obama administration has done (and nothing Bush did) will reverse that trend.

So in my view, there is absolutely no chance that we will see an increase in employment in the next year or two. There are still tens of thousands of businesses – and millions of Americans -- all over the country that are heavily in debt. They are all trying to hold on by clawing and scratching, but it simply won't work.

In fiscal year 2010, there were 1,596,355 bankruptcies, up from 1,402,816 in 2009. In 2011, we'll see more.

So don't count on your current business or job to carry you through. And don't count on Social Security, Medicare, or your pension fund either.

Social Security is in serious trouble. According to U.S. government calculations, the program will be bankrupt by 2037.

This year, both Medicare and Social Security needed additional funding from elsewhere in the government. Social Security required an infusion of $41 billion. Next year, Social Security will once again pay out more in benefits than it collects in tax receipts. And after two years in the black, beginning in 2015, its negative balance is expected to grow rapidly.

Medicare is in even worse shape. Medicare will become insolvent by 2029, eight years sooner than Social Security.

After 2029, Medicare will be able to pay only about 85% of its benefits (or less) from its tax revenues.

And the program for disabled people will run out of money by 2018, two years earlier than previously projected!

We are not through with the Great Recession. We are not recovering. I don't trust for a moment the government data that suggests we are.

There is still so much bad debt that must come out, and still so many thousands of businesses that are on the verge of bankruptcy.

Despite our supposed economic recovery, 58,322 businesses filed for bankruptcy during the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010. The year before, there were 58,721 bankruptcies, a miniscule drop of only 0.7%. Similar numbers are expected for the coming year.

Perhaps you are thinking that your 401(k) will bounce back to its former height. This is highly unlikely, as a recent "60 Minutes" report made clear.

As I said, employment is the key to economic recovery, and there is no reason to believe unemployment will decrease any time soon. My bet is that the official unemployment rate will be at 11% by the end of 2011 and 12% the following year. (And the actual unemployment rate will be six or eight points higher than that.)

In my father's day, a person could expect to retire at 65 with a pension and Social Security benefits large enough to provide him with a comfortable life.

I turn 65 in 2015, and this is what I'm counting on:

  • Little or nothing from Social Security -- barely enough to pay for a cheap apartment and a diet of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

  • Little or nothing from Medicare for my health care needs, because the system will have nearly collapsed by then.

  • A stock market that is at least 30% lower than it is now, and a stock portfolio to match.

It is even possible that my municipal bonds would be worth nothing by then, and that the government would be trying to confiscate my gold.

These are my expectations. And though I'm hoping I'm wrong, I'm smart enough to plan as though it's going to happen.

I'm not worried about the future -- grim as it looks -- because I am prepared. You see, about 25 years ago, when I first decided I had to be responsible for my financial well being, I made a promise to myself to develop multiple streams of income.

I had a good job back then. I worked for a South Florida publisher who liked me and was paying me well. But I didn't believe for a second that he wouldn't fire me if his business took a nosedive.

And even after I became his partner and started making millions, I didn't feel comfortable relying on that stream of income alone. What if our business failed? What if we got sued or scammed or both? What would I do then?

I decided that, as good as things were, I wasn't going to count on my partner or our business to ensure my long-term survival. So I started investing in other little businesses and making income-earning investments. My thought was that I would create several extra income streams so that if one or two of them dried up I'd have another one or two to count on.

It took a while to get the first stream of income going -- and at first, it was just $50 or $100 month. But gradually, it increased. And as it did, I added other streams of income -- and they, too, grew gradually.

I now have at least a dozen streams of income, including:

  • 5 separate consulting incomes in 3 different industries

  • rental income from more than 25 houses and condominiums

  • income from a public relations business

  • income from a real estate development in Panama

I spend most of my time on the business that brings in my primary stream of income. And in my spare time, I tend to these other streams and rivulets. Several of them bring in six figures annually. Several others bring in a few thousand dollars every month, which is still very nice.

But I haven't stopped there.

Recently I invested in:

  • a woodworking business

  • an art dealership

  • a movie distribution business

  • a home building business

I expect all of them to be profitable in the next year or two.

But the size of my total river is not important. What's important is that it is larger than my yearly expenditures. I can maintain my present lifestyle if not just my main income but half of my other income streams disappeared.

This is the kind of financial peace of mind you should be looking for. And the time to start looking is right now.

Christmas is a week away. And the best gift you can give yourself is a second income. It doesn't have to be huge at the beginning. But it should be something that can grow as time goes on. Something that can one day -- maybe sooner than you expect -- replace the income you have now.

The main thing is to get something -- anything -- going right now.

The current Great Recession will almost certainly last another five to seven years. (That's how long the economists I trust say it will take the U.S. to work itself out of the debt we've gotten ourselves into.) And though you can reduce your living expenses if you must, you cannot reduce your living expenses to nothing.

But you can exempt yourself from this vicious downtrend by creating second and third (and more) income streams for yourself, starting with...

My top recommendations for new income in 2011

  • Information Publishing

I explained the advantages of this business in last week's Journal. To refresh your memory:

It has low start-up costs, and it allows you to work from anywhere. And as an information publisher online, you can start out small and keep testing new products and promotions inexpensively. When you find something that works, you can "roll it out" instantly.

You can "speak" to your customers daily (mostly through e-mail) and, thus, significantly increase (even quintuple) the lifetime value of each buyer. And the profit margins for this business are potentially huge.

As it happens Jason, my publisher, tells me that ETR's own Internet information publishing program, the Internet Money Club, is accepting a limited number of new members right now -- and there's a special deal. Go here to find out all about it.

  • Freelance consulting

  • Rental real estate

  • Natural health

  • Pet products and services

  • Businesses that will serve aging baby boomers

  • Bars (not restaurants)

  • Selling advice via the Internet

  • Selling cheap goods via the Internet

In upcoming Journals, I'll give you ideas for developing these streams of income. Stay tuned.

How a former "internet newbie" made $85,000 online in only 10 months

To ensure that you never miss an issue, please whitelist our email.

 

Dear Early to Rise Reader,

Not long ago, an ETR reader had a dream.

A dream of quitting his "day job" as a salesman, starting his own internet business from home, and earning unlimited income... completely on his own terms.

At first, he had no idea what he was doing.

He had no extensive knowledge of internet business-building... no idea where to start... and nobody to help him along the way.

The good news for him was... it wasn't this way for long.

You see, one day, he discovered ETR''s top-tier development program for internet entrepreneurs. And he decided to join it.

Once he got in the program... and followed the simple steps... his internet business took off.

How much?

Check this out...

Just 10 months after he got started from scratch, his new internet business had already brought in $85,000 in online revenues...

...with projected earnings of over $100,000 for his first full calendar year of business.

Not bad!

Another ETR reader had a similar dream.

She wanted to build her own internet business as well... but didn't know anything about how to do it or where to start.

But once she got involved in the same ETR development program for internet entrepreneurs, her internet business took off as well.

In fact, just 90 after she got started, her internet business was bringing in $5,000 a month in online revenues!

Can you experience similar results... no matter what your experience?

I know you can!

How?

You can begin by taking a close look at the following report.

It will show you all the details on the same development program that helped these ETR readers go from "complete newbies" to "internet superstars" in just a few short months.

It will also show you a fast way to make your first $5,000 online in 2011...

And finally, it will show you how you can keep on building your internet business once you've made that first $5,000... until you're making the same kind of big-time money today's most successful, well-known, respected internet entrepreneurs make.

But you must hurry.

This offer in this report expires promptly on Tuesday, December 28th 2010 at 9:00AM EST.

But waiting even that long is probably not a wise idea.

That's because once we reach maximum enrollment, we'll be forced to pull this offer immediately. And this could happen well before this offer's expiration date.

So if building a successful internet business is something that interests you, I strongly urge you to take the next few minutes to read the following report.

You'll be glad you did.

Remember, hurry!

Sincerely,

Jason Holland

Your ETR Insider

Early To Rise Insider

From The Desk of Jason Holland

Volume 1  |  Issue 43   |  December 17, 2010


Dear ETR Insider,
Jason Holland

We've written about Early to Riser Julie Broad before.

A few years ago, this former office worker from British Columbia turned real estate investor was interested in putting together an online business. She wanted to help people bypass the hurdles she and her husband had faced as newbie real estate investors... and add an additional income stream to their bottom line at the same time.

But Julie had a problem. She didn't know much about doing business online. And she didn't want to spend years studying marketing and the Internet. She wanted results fast.

And she got the results she was looking for. Julie launched her website (Revnyou.com, aimed at real estate investors) without being derailed by any major roadblocks or pitfalls -- and started making money from it almost right away. It took only 90 days for her to bring in $5,000 A MONTH in revenues.

And today, her online business continues to grow.

| You Could Do It Too! |

As we wind down 2010 and get into the heart of the holiday season... it's easy to start putting things off until "after the new year."

But if one of your goals is to set up an extra stream of income -- which, as Michael Masterson says, is the only way you can ever hope to become truly wealthy -- that's one thing you can't put off.

Check out the Internet Money Club to find out if an online business is the way you'd like start bringing in money on the side every month. (And, at some point, replace your primary income from your full-time job.)

The IMC is under the direction of self-made Internet entrepreneur Brian Edmondson (who's been running the show for three years now). He is a motivator, mentor, and hands-on coach.

Brian not only teaches total online "newbies" how to set up and update their own websites, he shows them how to grow real, sustainable businesses. That means helping them do market research to figure out if their business ideas can be profitable, helping them create saleable products, giving them strategies for driving traffic to their websites and compelling visitors to sign up for their e-mail lists (which is key), and much, much more.

The business model Brian teaches really works. It's the one that took ETR from its humble beginnings as advice-filled e-mails that Michael sent to a few dozen clients and colleagues 10 years ago... to the industry leader it is today. It's the model that made Agora, Inc. a $300 million company. The model that Brian himself used to make $15,000 in just a week. The model that the most successful online businesses use every day. And, of course, it's the model that we promise can have you bringing in your first sales from your brand-new Internet venture just months after you sign up for the IMC.

| Real Results |

As I mentioned above, that's what happened to IMC alumna Julie Broad.

Last week, I told you about PJ McClure , who was able to quit his six-figure job to devote himself to his online business -- www.themindsetmaven.com -- less than a year after joining the IMC. (So far this year, he's got $85,000 in sales.)

Pete Genot, an IMC member from Ohio, is working toward getting out of the volatile auto parts industry he's in now... and dedicating himself fully to his online health and fitness business, www.thehealthyminute.com.

And earlier this week, you heard from IMC member John Marsh. John has excelled in several businesses, including construction and real estate, and now he's turned to Early to Rise to get another stream of income started online. We'll keep you posted on his progress.

I urge you to check out all the details about the Internet Money Club today.

Just last weekend, we launched the 2011 class of the IMC, and dozens of your fellow Early to Risers have already signed on. Keep in mind that we have to limit membership to make sure we can give every member the personal help and attention they need. And because the new class starts the first week of January, you have to get in by the deadline.

Go here to find out what you'll learn in the IMC, what you can accomplish in a very short time... and to hear the real stories of people who've done it.

If you have any questions about the program, please contact me directly at AskETR@ETRFeedback.com.

| Holiday Traditions |

This time of year is always fun at ETR. Being in South Florida, we never have a "White Christmas" -- although the temperatures have been dipping below freezing lately! But we still have a great time celebrating.

We have Christmas decorations and a menorah in the office. Cookies, fudge, and other treats seem to show up every day. And, of course, each team member has his or her own holiday traditions. Nicole Reynolds, for example, visits her family in Jamaica every year. I take my family up to Disney World for their special Christmas celebration. And Nicole Farago enjoys a huge Italian feast with her family from up north.

So... what about you? What holiday traditions do you celebrate in your office or at home?

Let me know at AskETR@ETRFeedback.com.

Until next week,

Jason Sig

Dear Early to Rise Reader,

There's a disturbing video making its way around the Internet.

If you value your way of life in America right now, I encourage you to have a quick look (see below).

I have no idea whether or not the event this guy is predicting will actually come true... but I know the man behind it. He's a very wealthy businessman, who has made his fortune predicting big events such as this.

And even if he's only half-right... it's going to change many of the things we've always taken for granted in this country.

I do have to warn you, however: This material may be offensive to some audiences. Viewer discretion is advised.

Sincerely,

Jason Holland
Associate Publisher

From the Editor: What happens when a business with a longstanding "No. 1" competitive edge is no longer "No. 1"? In today's video presentation, "Mindset Maven" PJ McClure shows you what happens when the game changes and a company doesn't recognize the change.

He goes on to explain the need to be a "category of one," and how this will give your business a position of dominance... where your customers won't even consider your competitors.

PJ has lots more success secrets for you -- and was kind enough to put together a few of them as a special gift. (See the link below.)

[Ed. Note: PJ McClure, "The Mindset Maven," is an author, speaker, and performance specialist. He created the C1(tm) Methodology to teach entrepreneurs and large corporations how to build profit-sustaining businesses that enrich the lives of their customers, employees, and owners. This approach begins with understanding PJ's radical concepts about goal setting and achievement. You can have access to those concepts by downloading The Mindset Maven's Goals Guide as a gift.

"Complete newbie" at Internet business building finds a way to bring in profits in just 90 days!

How did she do it?

And how can YOU enjoy similar success... no matter how much business experience you may have right now?

It is called the Internet Money Club, and a limited number of seats just opened up. Click here to learn more, but you must act fast. Once those seats are gone, the door to the IMC closes for another year.

"I now read ETR more often than I did before."

"Dear Michael,

"As someone who is a psychotherapist for much of my working week... I find the psychology of this very strange.

"I invested $5 a month in ETR Premium... 5 measly dollars.

"The result...

"I now read ETR more often than I did before (every day rather than a couple of times a week), and I pay more attention to it. I really 'listen' to what is being said.

"I read it and pay more attention to it than I do the e-books I buy at a much greater price.

"As they say... Go figure!"

Thanks,
CC

The Language Perfectionist: Tricky Singulars and Plurals
By Don Hauptman

I was amazed to read this sentence in a major newspaper: "Today the criteria is simple: total unit sales."

Of course, criteria should be criterion. The first is plural; the second singular. And if you intend the plural, it's criteria are, not criteria is.

Most English words are turned into plurals simply by adding -s or -es. But a few words with Latin roots are trickier. The following examples of such misuses were found online:

  • "Social media is good for employees."

  • "People learned several years ago that data is more valuable than applications or hardware...."

The words media and data are plurals, and should be followed by are. The corresponding singular forms are medium and datum.

The use of media and data as singular is increasingly common and accepted. But unless the result reads or sounds awkward or confusing, it makes sense to respect the traditional rules.

[Ed Note: For more than three decades, Don Hauptman was an award-winning independent direct-response copywriter and creative consultant. He is author of The Versatile Freelancer, an e-book that shows writers and other creative professionals how to diversify their careers into speaking, consulting, training, and critiquing.]

The First Major Shift in Business Thinking
Since the 1937 Publication of Think and Grow Rich

Michael Masterson's New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller, Ready, Fire, Aim, lays out a completely new approach to business and life.

It's the blueprint that helped Michael go from pool installer to self-employed multimillionaire before his 40th birthday.

And it's so practical and sensible that just about anyone can use it to make their first $1 million... $50 million... $100 million... or more!
