7 things you probably didn’t know about me…

7things

Today I wanted to write a blog post that is a bit different… Most of it has nothing to do with Internet Marketing or Making Money Online (at least directly) but I hope that it will help you to understand where I came from and where I am now and hopefully get some inspiration!

Here are 7 things you probably didn’t know about me:

1) Now I’m working as a Full Time Internet Marketer but I had a 9 to 5 job for over 13 years… I started working as a Bartender when I was 18 (yes, in Europe it’s legal) and my last real job was as a Bar Manager in a 5 star resort, here in the south of Portugal. I went through the typical career ladder, as you would as a blue collar worker - I was a bartender, supervisor, assistant manager and finally manager. Most people would be happy to reach a management position but I always knew that I wanted to do something else and not be working for someone else for the rest of my life…

2) Apart of my Online Business, I’m still running my offline business - an Events Company. We work mainly when the touristic season is in it’s full, which makes us work around 5 months a year. That is a perfect mix between my online and offline work because of how flexible my online working hours are! I literally couldn’t be happier with how everything fell into place.

3) I have a 17 month old daughter named Laura. After she was born I had to change most of my work habits but it all worked out for the best! I used to work very late (10pm-3am or so) but after she was born I was simply too tired in the end of the day to do any creative work… Now I’m waking up before she does (around 4-5am) and going to bed according to her schedule (9-10pm). This was a major change for me, especially having worked as a bartender for all these years but I’ve actually discovered that early in the morning is when I’m the most productive and creative!

4) I have a degree in English and I actually worked as an English teacher or a few weeks - but totally hated it :). This has pushed me on a path of making money online - I made my first money using the internet doing translations and proofreading jobs. I never really wanted to do that full time for a long time but it was great to see that you can make money using nothing else than your skills and a laptop - this opened a whole new world of possibilities for me.

5) I live in Portugal since 2008 (I’m originally from Poland) and over the years I’ve also lived in the US (in Cleveland, Ohio) and the UK (in Oxford). My wife is Portuguese so I’m definitely staying here :)

6) I have a younger sister and a younger brother… My sister is finishing her Law degree and she wants to work as a Judge and my brother just finished High School and still tries to figure out what he wants to do (maybe I can push him on the amazing path of online business!)

7) The first online course that I’ve officially released was about making money on Fiverr. I believe in only releasing courses that are backed up 100% by my own experience - no fluff or BS. Unfortunately not all of the marketers out there believe in the same principals… that’s why before I promote anything, I always go through the whole course to make sure that the quality of the information inside is up to my standards!

That’s it… hopefully you managed to get to know me a bit better and understand where I’m coming from :)

I’d love to hear about your story, so make sure to leave a comment below - if you have any questions, I’ll make sure to answer them ASAP.

Motivation - 5 Proven Ways to Find it

motivation

Motivation and ways to find it is surely one of the main factors when it comes to achieving success. Whatever you are trying to achieve or want to get good at in life, there will be times when you will be tired, stressed, overwhelmed or without faith in yourself and these are the moments when you have to find motivation to keep going. The level of success in your life is in direct proportion to the level of determination you have to motivate yourself! It is not always easy and that is why I’ve compiled these 5 proven ways to find motivation for you!

1. Ask yourself why - Often times people are setting up goals but they don’t really know why do they want to achieve them. A goal of ‘making a million dollars’ will only motivate you so much… At some point you’ll have to realize why do you want the million dollars and you might come up with something like ‘I want financial abundance and freedom for me and my family’. This will motivate you much more than a simple ‘I want XYZ’.

2. Remind yourself the goals daily - Once we have our goal set up we might be focusing on it with full intensity for a few days or weeks but eventually it might fade away a bit. That is why you have to surround yourself with ‘reminders’ in your daily life. You can set up a board with your main goals, daily write about them in your calendar or add pictures reminding you about them to your computer’s background. That will keep you on track and will help you with fighting procrastination.

3. Stay positive - this is one rule that people often tend to misunderstand. It has nothing to do with positive thinking and forcing yourself to ‘be happy’ or anything else. It’s about finding something positive, even in horrifying situations. Always ask yourself a question: ‘What have I learnt with this?’ and most definitely you’ll be able to find a positive aspect of virtually each and every situation in your life.

4. Learn to walk again - Sometimes children can give us the best inspiration when we look and compare them with ourselves. When a baby is learning to walk, it is failing numerous times again and again but it simply doesn’t stop until it starts walking. No wonder everyone in the whole world walks - it is a Magic Formula! This is the most important lesson for adults - never quit, doesn’t matter how many times you will fail and in the end of the day you will succeed.

5. Forget about the outcome - you have to learn to appreciate the way, not only the achievement of the final goal. A wise man once said: “Success for me is when I’m pleased and happy with my efforts”. You see, we don’t always win in life and the faster we’ll understand that we can learn from our failures and mistakes , the closer we’ll going to be to our ultimate goals and succeeds.

I also found a great motivational video for you!

Enjoy :)

Create a better Career, Business & Life by Tony Robbins

I’m a Huge believer in Tony Robbin’s teachings. I use the techniques and principles that he’s promoting every day and I believe that is what contributed to my success! You see, most people don’t even know what is that they want to achieve in life! They know what they don’t want - they don’t want to be in debt, they don’t want to deal with money problems, emotional problems, frustrations and so on… The few people that know what they want often times are not focused on it enough in the long run. They get excited for a week or a month but they fail to follow through on their commitments long term and that is why many people ultimately fail. I believe that once you know what you want to create in your life, you simply have to focus on it and keep focusing on until you reach your goal! The very important piece here is to enjoy the process! If you won’t, when you’ll finally achieve your goal you’ll have the ‘Is this all there is’ moment that Tony talks so much about…

I have found this Amazing Video of Tony Robbins on how to create a better career, business & life. Please watch it in its entirety and take as much out of it as you can! The time to create your new life is NOW!

Watch this Great Video about achieving Success!

Achieving Success has nothing to do with who do you know, who your parents are and what your background is…

Success is a weird thing… The most ‘privileged’ people in the world very often end up either in rehab or on the psychiatrist couch despite the fact they had a much better start than the majority of us! They have all the advantages in the world but simply don’t know how to use them.

On the other hand there are many of examples of people that never had the support (either financial or emotional), good examples or background to achieve anything worth mentioning in their lives… but they did! Their willpower meant much more than the circumstances they were raised in or any disadvantages they might have faced. They became Successful simply because they demanded from themselves, more than anyone else did.

success

Here are a few Quotes from famous and successful people:

“In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure” Bill Cosby

“Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm” Winston Churchill

“To succeed in life, you need two things: ignorance and confidence” Mark Twain

“Think twice before you speak, because your words and influence will plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of another” Napoleon Hill

“I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed” Michael Jordan

If you are looking to achieve Success in any area of your life, watch the video above, rethink your present approach and then simply prepare a plan for action. That is all you really need…

Hope you’ll enjoy it and learn from it!

Focus and it will come…
