I often get asked how we have been able to build up such a successful online business over the last 11 months. For most people I guess it still boggles the mind how we were able as a young family to survive such an offline business catastrophe and still manage to jump online and build what we now have.
Well for me it comes down to one success principle, and that is "Knowing Your Why." I have always known that having an idea of why you are starting a business affected the results you would have, but until meeting my online coach/mentor last year I did not realize how critical it really was.
You see my belief system (like many other people I know and meet) had been developed by my parents, family members, and friends that I had allowed into my inner circle. None of them really knew what it would take to be successful in business, since they had never ventured into that world.
Therefore, I wasn’t just green to business; I was probably more like purple. :-) When I started my now defunct offline printing business, I did not have someone to be there to help me. I did not have an advisor, someone who could guide me or shed the light on the mistakes I was making.
I was trying to play the offline business game at a high level without a coach and without knowing how or what to practice on. Even though I felt completely out of my league... I still expected to have great results. It is difficult to admit, but for the most part I flubbed my way through the everyday activities of this business.
Don't get me wrong here I worked very hard, but because I did not know my 'Why'... I had no idea what direction I was headed in much less how to get there. I was taking it one day at a time and I figured one day I would wake up and all of the hard work would culminate in the ultimate breakthrough of massive profits.
No plan, no direction, no goals, no time management, and no one to run ideas by or get input from. This led to many preventable mistakes and boy did they pile up. When the recession finally hit our area, I was as exposed as a baby's behind is when it is born into this world.
Less than eight months later I had to close the business for good. In the process I learned some keys lessons. I don't have to know it all to be successful, but I do need to know the people who have the answers when I need them.
I needed to stop doing life on my own (when it came to starting and running a business), and I needed to find other people who had achieved the success I was wanting in my life and attach myself to their right hip. I needed to follow someone else to my success, so then I could then stand up to be the leader I wanted to be.
This finally happened when my online coach/mentor sat down with me and said, "Juan, what do you really want? Without you knowing exactly (down to the most miniscule detail) what it is that YOU want, you will always continue having the same result of failure."
So with his help and the help of an online community full of coaches like this, my wife and I wrote down exactly what we wanted. We set goals (income and lifestyle related) with specific time frames, we learned how to manage our time better to be 10 times more productive, and we plugged in and followed their plan step-by-step.
The result? Our lives have totally been transformed. Not only did we reach our goals in half the time we allotted ourselves, but we are now helping other people do the same for themselves.
One of my favorite quotes from this community is recited almost every day by someone I have come to know and trust, Mr. John Jackson. He states, "Do something good for some else today in the knowing that they can never repay you."
I hope this post helps you get past your brick walls of failure by learning from my own. If you are interested in learning more about how I can help you start a successful online business and be your personal coach/mentor, click on the link you see below.

The Pursuit Of Happiness Begins With A Decision
As I correspond with people from all walks of life on the internet, I find that there is one main culprit that always sabotages their ability to build a successful online business. It's not so much their lack of knowledge, skill sets, or resources, but more to do with their mindset.
You see most people are not taught to make good decisions in their lives. They are taught the total opposite, to be leary and afraid of making decisions because if you make mistakes or fail, it is a very bad thing. There are even more negative connotations when it comes starting your own business and being your own boss.
This came to the forefront in my life again as I was talking with a nice lady yesterday who had just started an online business. She said that her husband was not supportive and his negativity was getting to the point where he would make her feel bad if she was trying to get something positive accomplished.
She believed she had made a great decision for herself and her family, but since he thought that she was just wasting her time and money, he made the choice to try and derail her before she really got going. Not sure if he was doing it on purpose (I would not think so), or if he subconsciously was trying to sabotage her so he could win an argument.
The whole point is that whether he was doing it on purpose or not did not matter. His negativity was definitely breaking her down mentally and making her second guess her decision. In her mind, she was starting to think that their current circumstances were not ideal for starting this business and she was contemplating quitting.
Why was she thinking this way... because after a making a decision we need some positive reinforcement. We need someone to give us confidence that what we are attempting to do in our lives is not only worthwhile, but will produce the results we are looking for if we take positive action.
So after talking with me for 30 minutes, she quickly figured out that getting through these obstacles and achieving success had nothing to do with her current circumstances, and more to do with her mindset. She had originally made the decision to start the business, now she had to make the decision to follow through with purpose, determination, and positive action (by becoming productive at traffic generation).
She also had to make the decision to stand up to her husband and let him know that until he started helping her try to achieve success in the business so that they could better their family situation, that he was not allowed to make any negative comments. In fact, she let him know that if he did not have anything positive to say, to not say anything at all.
These decisions (as long as she sticks to them) will pay dividends in the near future for her new business. All that is left for her to do is to get to work and add some follow through to her decision making. This is the final step that takes the most amount of effort, but is what makes the journey we take with our businesses worthwhile.
We all have the ability within us to create whatever lifestyle that we want. We are not shackled by our circumstances like most people believe they are. If this were the case, then we would not see stories of people being homeless and then becoming multi-millionaires within a few years.
We would not see movies like "The Pursuit Of Happyness", where a person can go from living in poverty to very successful in a short amount of time. All it takes is making a decision and then sticking to that decision and following through.
I know that I make it sound simple in principle and your probably thinking that it is much harder than that, but it is NOT. Once the decision is made then the path to success opens up. The rest is up to you to follow through with positive and productive action. What are you pursuing today?

Do You Feel Like A Fish Out Of Water Online?
I don't know what it is about internet marketing that makes people feel like fish out of water. Maybe its the fact that information online is so readily available that we feel we have to digest ALL of it.
We feel that we have to be such great students to be able to generate success with an online business. I mean it makes sense, we are creatures of habit and many of us love learning new things.
In fact that is what keeps life exciting and keeps us growing as human beings... the new things that we learn each day. But I guess my gripe with all of this is when people get overwhelmed by the same information they are learning.
So let me ask you a question. If someone handed you ten books to read today, all different subjects pertaining to internet marketing, and told you that if you study these books you could become a huge success and create a new lifestyle for yourself... would you read all ten at the same time?
I wouldn't. But let's say you are trying to read all of them at the same time, don't you think it would be difficult if not impossible to apply or put into practice what you read, with ten different topics roaming around in your head?
This happens everyday as people try to take on too much information and then have a hard time figuring out why they did not get results. Real simple, the mind can only handle 1-2 things at a time, especially with all of the other things going on in our lives.
I also know from experience that the best way to learn something and then get use out of what you learn is by taking one book at a time. What if instead of reading all ten books at once, you made it a goal to read one book every 2-4 weeks and apply into your online business what you learned?
Don't you think now you would have a better chance at actually getting some results? Of course you would. In fact, at the end of six months you would probably have a very thriving business online from everything that you learned and applied.
This is exactly how I recommend my students to approach their businesses, from the stand point of taking one new marketing method or internet marketing discipline at a time. If you look at tackling the internet marketing world this way, here are the rewards you can expect:
1. With time you will master each discipline you are learning (by developing a new skill).
2. With time you will implement each discipline (applying your new skill) and have it create results in your business.
3. With time you will build up value in your niche and be able to leverage that same level of mastery (with the new skill) to help other people do the same for themselves.
When this happens, you are now generating as much money as you want from your online business. So let me give you a direct example. Let's say you want to learn about Social Media.
Would it make sense to you to take on 10 different social media outlets at one time or to just take on one like Twitter first? I would prefer taking on Twitter first, developing my skills there, and then taking those new skills and applying them to the other social media outlets.
Not only would my results be better, but now I would be equipped to help other people do the same. Now, there is one key thing I have left out all of this and that is you MUST take action!
You must stop sitting on the sidelines expecting results by simply learning and NOT applying. The key to knowledge is not that you acquire it, but rather that you take action with that knowledge and try to make the world a better place than how you found it.
The internet marketing world provides a level playing field for anyone willing to go through the process of learning, applying, and mastering new skills. How are you approaching your online business today?

You Get What You Focus On
The end of the year is upon us. As I sit here reflecting about all the trials and tribulations I have wrestled with this year, I have a deep sense of gratitude that I have been able to fulfill my promises.
A promise to take care of a newborn daughter, a promise to save our household from certain demise, and a promise to be better than the year before. You see this year has taken my wife and I on a journey from the depths of complete and utter failure offline, to the heights of infinite success on the internet.
This year life threw everything negative that it could our way, but we still prevailed. We suffered, we had frustrations, we doubted our abilities to survive, but we still prevailed. Thank you God.
As I turn 29 years young tomorrow, I can truly say that this year (2009) has been one of the most trying years in my life. At the same time, it has been one of the most life altering experiences, filled with joy, love, and lots of successes as well.
With darkness there is always light right around the corner. My wife and I had a choice to make this year, do we allow the current failures we were going through at the time to define our future, or do we decide to stand up and fight and do something different?
Well we chose to stand up and start an online business. We chose to FOCUS on the positive things that might happen with this new business rather than to focus on all the negative things that were happening around us.
We chose to follow the simple steps provided by an online community and our mentor instead of trying to reinvent the wheel ourselves. And finally, we chose to put in the hard work each day to get the results that we wanted.
What did we get in return?
The greatest gift we could have never asked for; the ability to have the time to raise our daughter the way we wanted. We could actually work from home, make money online, and watch her grow.
Experience her saying her first words. Experience her crawling and walking for the first time. And moving forward we know that we will be the parents who are always there for their child.
It has definitely been a life altering year and if I had to do it over again, I would not change anything. You see it was our ability to focus in times of dispair that allowed us to shine when our world was the darkest.
By focusing and being relentless toward our goals, the results were extraordinary. Are you focusing on the positive aspects of your life each day, or are you dwelling only on the negative?
Take it from our experience, focus on the light and you can accomplish anything you want in life. Even the things you never thought were possible.

Do You Believe You Can Make Money Online?
As I wrap up another Friday watching the NBA on ESPN, I am sitting here reflecting on some of the conversations I had with people who called me this week to learn how to make money online. Although each conversation was different, there was one recurring theme that kept coming up.
Almost every person I talked with had a deep fear of failure. They were so afraid of it, they had almost become paralyzed into a state of permanent indecision.
They obviously were not happy with their current lives and wanted to make a change, but the thought of putting themselves out there and getting burned again was just too much.
But there was one gentleman this week who although had been burned in the past, was willing to move forward. You see he had been working as a laborer for the same company for the last 35 years!
I'm talking about hard manual labor here folks, not the run of the mill sit down in a cubicle all day job. Although those jobs stink for their own reasons.
Now, this gentleman had been giving 100% at his job for so long, that he was finally contemplating retirement. Only one problem, he couldn't retire because the investments he had been building for that same period of time had all but disentegrated in the recent economic downturn.
So he turned to the Internet to see if he could find a way to create a retirement income and walk away permanently from his laborer job. After struggling to find a way to make money online for the past few months, he decided to give me a call today.
We spoke for about 30 minutes and at the end of the call he decided that he was going to follow in my footsteps. He wants to use the same formula for success that I use to finally retire and buy a vacation home in South Florida.
He wants to build his business online over the next 6-12 months and then spend his days on his boat fishing. I think with internet marketing he can accomplished that! :-)
In fact, I have no doubt in my mind that he will follow through on what we teach him and that he will have success making money online. The reason, because his desire and will to walk away from his current job is stronger than his fear of failure.
His desire and will to finally have the life that he has always wanted is much stronger than any obstacles life can throw at him, especially online. He does not care that he has limited computer skills, because he will learn as he goes.
He does not care that he does not have all of his ducks in a row, because he knows he will be following a step by step plan that works. So with blind faith, a positive attitude, and a will as strong as I have seen in a while, he begins his journey towards success.
So what will you do? The next time you find another potential vehicle to make money online with... will you continue to be afraid of failure or will you finally break through your fear and go after the success in your life that you deserve? If you care about your future I hope it is the latter.

Internet Marketing - Google Adwords: A Love and Hate Relationship?
I was recently reminded two months ago that we as internet marketers are all at the mercy of Google. Whether it is natural search rankings, Adwords, or Adsense, he who earns money through Google can also die by their hand.
You see I like many other marketers have learned one thing, Google has more money than God and they could really care less about us marketers out here in the trenches.
What they care the most about is their user experience and they will protect and improve it at all costs. They know that without the users who entrust their lives to Google each day, they would not have such a thriving business.
But can you really make big money online without Google? I would venture to say that the answer to that question is a resounding yes! There are many people who have gotten themselves to making multiple five figures per month or more even without Google's blessing.
But here is the real question, why would you want to do that? Although living in Google land is a love and hate relationship, you can please them and their users by simply creating a better website.
Here are some key points to consider the next time you get slapped by Google and are looking to get back on.
1. Unique Content Is King!
Times have changed, but only slightly. It used to be that content was king on the Internet. However with the information age also came the age of piracy.
Everyone thinks that if they find information online, they are instantly given the right to repost that information on their own website. What you have to realize is that Google ONLY loves unique content.
So don't plagarize someone else's work, take the time to create your own. This way, Google will love your site and reward you for the time to you took make it unique. This includes pictures, videos, and text.
2. Single Page Sales Pages and Landing Pages Are History
Google took a recent poll of all of its users and found that most single page sales pages and landing pages did not provide any useful content to its users. So they are now on a mission to penalize and remove them from their system.
So to comply with their new rules, you must create a site that has multiple pages. This can include things like a home page, about us, articles, links, frequently asked questions, contact us, shopping cart, site map and so on and so forth. The point is they want to see some depth to your site.
3. Add More Content To Your Site Regularly
Take the time each month to add more unique content to your website. This will keep the spiders coming back for more and will continue to increase your relevancy in your niche.
This is important because it drives the two most important factors in Google loving or hating you, page rank and quality score.
4. Link Building Is A Must
This used to be an optional item when it came to using Google. Now it is required. You must take the time to contact websites in your niche and exchange links with them.
Again this will increase relevancy and even provide natural search engine rankings for your main keywords. This means lots of free traffic now and for years to come.
5. No Redirects To Another Website
This is the toughest change Google has implemented to their Adwords program. You cannot take a user to another website to sell them something at any point while they are clicking around on your website.
If they find one affiliate link, they are likely to slap you and eventually ban you. However, I have found through the grapevine that this does not apply to https pages that lead to a shopping cart or checkout page.
So if you are in an affiliate program, the work around is to get a hold of the owner of the website and ask them to link directly to the order page. This will allow you to continue doing business.
I hope that this information regarding Google has been helpful. I know that the love and hate relationship with Google will continue for years to come.
But no matter whether you love or hate them, you have to admit that when they love you, life tends to be a little easier on the Internet as a marketer.

You see I like many other marketers have learned one thing, Google has more money than God and they could really care less about us marketers out here in the trenches.
What they care the most about is their user experience and they will protect and improve it at all costs. They know that without the users who entrust their lives to Google each day, they would not have such a thriving business.
But can you really make big money online without Google? I would venture to say that the answer to that question is a resounding yes! There are many people who have gotten themselves to making multiple five figures per month or more even without Google's blessing.
But here is the real question, why would you want to do that? Although living in Google land is a love and hate relationship, you can please them and their users by simply creating a better website.
Here are some key points to consider the next time you get slapped by Google and are looking to get back on.
1. Unique Content Is King!
Times have changed, but only slightly. It used to be that content was king on the Internet. However with the information age also came the age of piracy.
Everyone thinks that if they find information online, they are instantly given the right to repost that information on their own website. What you have to realize is that Google ONLY loves unique content.
So don't plagarize someone else's work, take the time to create your own. This way, Google will love your site and reward you for the time to you took make it unique. This includes pictures, videos, and text.
2. Single Page Sales Pages and Landing Pages Are History
Google took a recent poll of all of its users and found that most single page sales pages and landing pages did not provide any useful content to its users. So they are now on a mission to penalize and remove them from their system.
So to comply with their new rules, you must create a site that has multiple pages. This can include things like a home page, about us, articles, links, frequently asked questions, contact us, shopping cart, site map and so on and so forth. The point is they want to see some depth to your site.
3. Add More Content To Your Site Regularly
Take the time each month to add more unique content to your website. This will keep the spiders coming back for more and will continue to increase your relevancy in your niche.
This is important because it drives the two most important factors in Google loving or hating you, page rank and quality score.
4. Link Building Is A Must
This used to be an optional item when it came to using Google. Now it is required. You must take the time to contact websites in your niche and exchange links with them.
Again this will increase relevancy and even provide natural search engine rankings for your main keywords. This means lots of free traffic now and for years to come.
5. No Redirects To Another Website
This is the toughest change Google has implemented to their Adwords program. You cannot take a user to another website to sell them something at any point while they are clicking around on your website.
If they find one affiliate link, they are likely to slap you and eventually ban you. However, I have found through the grapevine that this does not apply to https pages that lead to a shopping cart or checkout page.
So if you are in an affiliate program, the work around is to get a hold of the owner of the website and ask them to link directly to the order page. This will allow you to continue doing business.
I hope that this information regarding Google has been helpful. I know that the love and hate relationship with Google will continue for years to come.

Why I Truly Love Marketing On The Internet...
Today was another awesome day! As I sit here writing this at 10:00 pm, I am just now realizing how blessed I really am.
I get to wake up everyday at whatever time I want and not have to worry about the stress of getting ready within a certain time frame, driving my car in rush hour traffic, and making it to work on time.
I don't have to worry about making a boss or a group of managers happy everyday. But most importantly, I don't have to worry about whether or not I will have a job come tomorrow.
In fact I literally wake up, take my time eating breakfast with my wife and baby girl, while we enjoy her morning shows on Nick Jr. Other mornings I sit in my back porch and just relax, taking in the cool breeze and enjoying the tranquility nature can provide.
Once I am done taking some morning time for me or my family, I walk ten steps and I am in my home office. Most of the time I will put in two solid hours of hard work, and then I will take a break. Maybe I will watch some TV and eat lunch.
Maybe I will play some Wii, go for an afternoon walk, or get some exercise in. Maybe I decide to take the rest of the day off so we can hang out by the pool. After my break is done, I usually get back to work for two more hours and then the cycle repeats itself until I decide to be done.
Some days I put in 3-4 hours and others I put in 5-6 hours. The point is I have options, and this makes every day extra special. Because quite frankly all we have in our lives is today, and we need to be in a position to make sure we can live it to its fullest.
So how do your days stack up? Are you getting the most out of today? Is what you are currently doing allowing you to have the lifestyle that leads to your happiness each and every day?
If you are not happy with your current situation, then are you willing to make the daily change necessary to get what you want? If so, then I might be of some help.
You see not too long ago I was in your shoes. Working a boring and mentally draining 9-5 job. Trading my precious time for money while I earned a measley paycheck.
But fate intervined and I took the horrible opportunity of losing my income and turned it into the best thing in my life. I decided to become a master marketer online and found a community of other industry top earners to teach me how to do it.
I followed exactly what they taught and did everything they told me to and bam, success came knocking on my door. So if you would like to have the opportunity to do the same in your life, click on the link below to watch a short video from me.
