Goals for 2019 and beyond

It's getting to the end of the 2018 and many people are starting to wonder - What is it that will make their lives more fun, easier, free, creative and just better!

With Christmas over and 2019 on the way now is the time to plan, create and dream! (Just how do you do that with all that Turkey in your Tummy though - I'll leave you to work out those details!)

So what's the first thing I get asked when people choose to make their lives better? CAN I REALLY DO IT?

My response is always the same! Do YOU BELIEVE IN YOURSELF and your abilities and believe you are a true and honest person? These questions are critical in the online business world! Not just because you have to live with yourself and your actions, but because other people have to live with the decisions they make based on your opinions, advice and products and if they don't believe in you and trust you, your edging ever closer to the title "scammer of the year 2019" every time you sell something (and lets be honest, your no scammer!) Your a legitimate business owner giving real value to people to see their own success!

So the next questions are how do I get started? What do I do and what do I sell? Can I get someone to do my blog work and SEO? Can I really work 1 hour a day and make $1000? Well, Some are yes and some are no answers – but the real determining factor in all of this is what is your motivation and what are your goals (or the bigger picture?)

Realistically, your not going to make a $1000 a day in 2 weeks unless you have some mysterious buying traffic source and from the totally unproven quotes I've received we're talking a MINIMUM $1 per LEAD – not BUYER (just want to clarify, this is NOT sustainable, totally hit and miss and the people selling these leads are making WAY more money off you than you are seeing in return!)

So what exactly is it that I tell people to start with? A Plan, A Vision and A Goal – then you layer it up with a woven web of relevant traffic sources that over time build up interest in your well thought out and relevant content and products and THEN you start seeing money come in! But the key here is really to have a unique plan and vision with achievable goals and then work hard at creating the most relevant, engaging and honest content you can produce (leave out the copy and paste work!!)



Of course there are plenty of ways to get some help, or even monetise your journey without an office job! I'm assuming your pretty creative, have a good grasp of at least 1 language and even have an eye for design! If you've got Office Skills and a laptop that can even help you out as well! I'm talking freelancing. Probably don't waste your time SELLING on Fiverr as I've found far more success on places like Upwork and Freelancer.com.au where you can actually start charging a living rate right off the bat if your skills are adept and your professional, communicative and hard working! But when you get stuck on your own projects, that's when Fiverr comes in handy or you can even set up a client account with the freelancer sites and channel the money into your own freelancer who if your smart can help you with not just your blog, but your clients allowing you to scale up! (FYI, Upwork allows agencies so you will be able to grow to multiple freelancers and bigger pay days!)

You can start in 2019 – you can be successful and I do believe in you and your honest, trustworthiness and the value you provide to others!

Have a great 2019 – Chat soon!
