			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I realized my last post came across as a &#8220;holier than thou&#8221; speech which wasn&#8217;t my intention at all, so I&#8217;ve reworded it <img src='http://www.timjrobinson.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>My full intention is to both help others grow, in whatever field they like while also taking advice onboard from them to grow myself. It is a mutually beneficial win-win positive outcome for both you and I and not only can we both achieve every goal and accomplish every dream we&#8217;d like to make reality in this lifetime, but help see each others blind spots and make a significant difference, having a net positive effect on the world. </p>
<p>My Overall Vision and Mission in life is to help every single person in the entire world live the life they’ve always dreamed of. My primary goal is to give every person the ability to do what they desire with their life without any external influences (eg. Disease, mal-nutrition, lack of water, lack of information etc) holding them back.</p>
<p>I’d like to allow every single man, woman and child in this world to make a contribution to society as a whole and live their dream life, awakening people to the fact that you don’t have to work a crappy job, you don’t have to answer to superiors, you don’t have to live in denial of what you truly desire.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a true believer that one day the world will be in such a state that everyone, everywhere can do what they truely desire, without constraint. The real question is, can it be done in my lifetime? </p>
<p>If I am to work alone that answer would be no. </p>
<p>Which is why I&#8217;d love to work alongside with others who want to make their own dreams a reality, who don&#8217;t enjoy maintaining the status quo, who want to make the world a better place, and who choose freedom and happiness over fear and close mindedness. </p>
<p>You CAN be who you want to be, you can do all the things you’d like to do and you can experience a fulfilling and amazing life.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll admit that my life isn&#8217;t perfect, and honestly it never will be, perfection is a goal, not an outcome. I love the fact that perfection cannot be attained simply because it gives endless opportunities to grow, endless opportunities to learn and an amazing life experience. </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve stumbled and screwed up many times in life, does that make me a failure? Nope, honestly failure isn&#8217;t in my vocabulary, simply because everything in life is either a success or a learning experience.</p>
<p>If you haven&#8217;t failed in life, if you haven&#8217;t had all the odds stacked against you, if you haven&#8217;t fallen down, honestly: you haven&#8217;t truely lived. </p>
<p>But from those failures I&#8217;ve remerged stronger and better than ever before, and through them I&#8217;ve learnt a lot of amazing things. </p>
<p>Most people don&#8217;t know this, but my current job (that I&#8217;m finishing up at in january) is actually my 10th job in my life. </p>
<p>I&#8217;m finishing up to run my own business. Was this business a quick success with no downsides? Nope, This is actually my 7th business (started my first when I was 13) and from every business failure I&#8217;ve learnt something more, which has added onto my knowledge until I&#8217;ve finally made it to the mark where it&#8217;s making a substantial income. </p>
<p>In fitness I&#8217;ve hit multiple platues and I&#8217;m one of those guys that struggles and struggles to gain muscle, but through persistance and determination I&#8217;ve managed to go from 50KG to 80KG and more than doubled my strength. </p>
<p>In relationships I&#8217;ve failed, been rejected and been humiliated many many times (If you count every single girl I&#8217;ve talked to that hasn&#8217;t gotten at least a phone number its close to 700-800 rejections). From that I&#8217;ve improved my confidence, gone from a complete introvert into an extrovert and am currently dating one of the most amazing girls I&#8217;ve ever met, who I never would have had the confidence to even talk to before. </p>
<p>The point I&#8217;m making is that this is the kind of person I am, the kind of person that pushes forward to make major changes in the world, the kind of person that dreams big and goes for it. If you like to be safe and secure and work a nice normal job with little risk, that&#8217;s fine by me.</p>
<p>If however you&#8217;d like to grow together with me and help each other succeed in business, health and relationships, feel free to contact me through the contact form. I don&#8217;t promise guaranteed success, but I do promise It&#8217;s going to be a hell of a lot of fun <img src='http://www.timjrobinson.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> (What&#8217;s the point of life if you&#8217;re not having fun?) and you may just learn a thing or two.</p>
<p>Cheers, </p>
<p>Tim</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you feel you can&#8217;t build an outstanding business because of all the competition out there? Feel Insignificant beside these massive blogs with thousands of daily readers? The problem is not them, it&#8217;s you!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve just started coming to terms with how incredibly different web businesses of today are to businesses in the past. In the world of Web 2.0 no longer are other sites like yours competition, or even enemies, they are pretty much your best allies in your ultimate quest for insane levels of traffic. The reason for this is that the web is now an evolved social network, where thousands of people all over the internet seek out quality information from blogs everywhere, and want the best of all worlds, not just what you have to offer. </p>
<p>Thus I&#8217;ve realized that if you give away links to your *competition* (otherwise known as other sites in your niche), and you start telling everyone about great new programs and things you found without wanting anything in return (as in providing non-affiliate links to products), people really start to respect you and keep coming back for more and more. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s really counterintuitive isn&#8217;t it? Most people have the belief that if they send their traffic to other pages they&#8217;ll be lost forever and never come back to hear what THEY have to say. Nothing could be further from the truth. The real truth is that when you give away things of quality people see YOU as the source of amazing information as well as that other blog you just linked them too. </p>
<p>Just look at search engines, they simply provide the information you need and send you on your way in just a few seconds, yet you keep coming back to them again and again, simply because they fill your need. If you fill the needs of your visitors you&#8217;ll start to see this too, they start to realize you are doing this for them (not sending them to a random page so you can cash your next big affiliate cheque) and they want to hear what you have to say more and more. </p>
<p>In my life I&#8217;ve found the very best knowledge comes from multiple sources. I&#8217;ve never had any one person teach me even 10% as well as many teachers put together, because every teacher adds another layer of knowledge you just can&#8217;t get from anyone else. Every person on the internet is unique and will explain things in their own way, hence why it&#8217;s in their best interest to seek out additional information on a topic they are interested in, and it&#8217;s in your best interest to show them where to find that information (because then you&#8217;ve just risen that little bit more in their eyes). </p>
<p>Take a look at how many RSS feeds or email lists you are subscribed to right at this moment. Are you subscribed to and only visit one website? If you&#8217;re like me you probably aren&#8217;t, in fact im willing to bet you have at least 5 RSS or email subscriptions at the moment and you constantly learn from each of these sources. </p>
<p>Getting knowledge from multiple sources is advantageous in a variety of different ways:</p>
<ul>
<li>It&#8217;s less biased - When you have the opinions of 5 different bloggers on the one topic, it&#8217;s very unlikely you&#8217;re going to hear a common bias from all of them, and you&#8217;ll start to become more open minded, which in turn will empower you to make the right choice.
<li>It&#8217;s more effective - You learn far faster taking in multiple inputs and putting them together, you get the &#8216;whole picture&#8217; so to speak rather than lots of little pieces.
<li>You gain more perspective - You can see things from different angles and learn to look at things from different perspectives.
</ul>
<p>The truth is people will seek out additional information and knowledge on any area of life they would like to improve, and you can either help them with that or try and push against them, trying to force them into buying what you want them to buy and doing what you want them to do. Which do you think is going to lead to more visitor loyalty?</p>
<p>Microsoft started off from the beginning in a competitive mindset, attempting to force customers to use proprietor software, run only their products and use your computer how they want you to use it. This worked great for many years while they held a monopoly over the market. </p>
<p>But then along came Google, the company that wants knowledge to be free, and to help users find what they desire, never being locked into using only *their* products. </p>
<p>Is it any surprise that Microsoft has seen almost zero growth in the past 10 years, while google has become one of the fastest growing companies ever? It&#8217;s through this open and transparent nature that Google has collected quite an army of evangelists who use Google products constantly in their life, while Microsoft has only seen a multitude of haters against their company. </p>
<p>The reason businesses used to think of others in their market is competitors is because they sold physical items that you only needed to buy once, there was no need to have two or more, things such as vacuum cleaners, appliances, TV&#8217;s etc. There&#8217;s little use in directing customers to a competitor if it means you are going to lose a sale. </p>
<p>This has changed in the digital world however as pretty much everything we as bloggers produce (knowledge and information) is unique to us and is free to distribute to as many people as we like. </p>
<p>Nearly every big blog on the internet has gotten that way by working with other blogs. They link to other blogs constantly, they have blog carnivals, competitions and more to help promote other blogs as well as hoping those other blogs will promote them back in return. </p>
<p>By forming bonds with other blogs in your niche you benefit your visitors greatly as they come onto your one site, then see 4 others in a similar field and subscribe to the RSS feeds of all. Then blog readers coming to these other 4 sites all do the same thing and suddenly you have 5 x as many readers.</p>
<p>Everyone benefits from this model, the readers get more quality and informative content, the blogs get more readers, and the advertising companies get more eyeballs, it&#8217;s win win win for everyone. </p>
<p>As a personal example of this, my first blog was on dating and I wanted to run it like a business (thinking It&#8217;d be somewhat like Double Your Dating). The problem was, I didn&#8217;t want to share my customers because I believed &#8220;If they go to another dating site, they may only follow them and never come back here&#8221;, oh how wrong I was. I never networked with other blogs, I never went into blog carnivals (as then I&#8217;d have to link to other blogs) and I didn&#8217;t want to ever link to other blog posts as then I may lose that visitor forever. I was deeply rooted in a scarcity mindset and it cost my business dearly. After a year of blogging I was barely getting more than 30 visitors a day. </p>
<p>Why did this happen? The problem is I wanted to run a business, but also have a lot of traffic, and so I tried to mash together a blog and a business which just doesn&#8217;t work. A Blog is a social medium, and as such you need to socialize with other people on other blogs, on social networks, on twitter and more. You can make money off a blog, but you can&#8217;t run it like traditional business with traditional thinking models of &#8220;Everyone else is competition I must eradicate!&#8221;. </p>
<p>So embrace the new social medium of the web and start to network with blogs similar to yours. If you have a blog similar to this one, leave me a comment below and I&#8217;d love to post a link to you to help you out with traffic (and perhaps you could post a link back to me too). Also start to trackback other blogs in your posts and comment on other blogs regularly, to both provide more and more valuable content, as well as get more and more traffic every day. </p>

]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I look around every day and see so many people totally confused about the law of attraction, as mentioned in the movie <A HREF='http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0846789/'>The Secret</A> As well as heavily mentioned on blogs about personal development such as <A HREF='http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2006/08/the-law-of-attraction/'>Steve Pavlina&#8217;s</A> and <A HREF='http://www.inspiredmoneymaker.com/2008/06/27/understanding-law-of-attraction/'>Inspired Money Maker</A>. </p>
<p>The source of the confusion is that of &#8220;How does what I think in my mind affect the world around me?&#8221; and I think the problem is with how it is explained. The secret honestly over hyped what the law of attraction was and said some things that just aren&#8217;t true. </p>
<p>One of those being that you&#8217;ll get whatever you think of (like the girl getting the necklace) and the other being &#8220;your thoughts will affect your immediate environment&#8221;. What they got right was that the law of attraction works. I&#8217;ve been using the law of attraction over the past year or two to great success, bringing much more abundance where I&#8217;ve needed it and it&#8217;s helped me a hell of a lot. However this doesn&#8217;t mean you should let it rule your life. </p>
<p>The main theory is that in any one situation you have up to one million different things to focus on, yet your mind can only focus on about 5-7 of these. If you are negatively minded you will probably focus on 5-7 negative things around you, while if you are more of a positive thinker, you&#8217;ll notice 5-7 positive things around you. Hence why you can place a positive thinker and a negative thinker in the same room and both will have completely different impressions of that room. </p>
<p>Knowing this we can start to realize that what we focus on the most will appear more and more in our world. If you believe you have a lot of money you&#8217;ll start seeing your world tell you that you have a lot of money (such as finding something like: <A HREF='http://www.globalrichlist.com/'>the global rich list</A>). If on the other hand you think you are poor, the world will tell you you are poor (You&#8217;ll probably read about a lot of rich people and start comparing yourself and getting jealous). </p>
<p>The problem is this law of attraction has been taken too far and some believe it is simply the cause of everything, which is where the confusion begins. </p>
<p>The belief that you&#8217;ll get exactly what you want is the first thing people get confused by. In that they think &#8220;How is it possible to get exactly what I want just by thinking about it?&#8221;  We&#8217;ll you can&#8217;t. Yes you can get what you want, but not in the way you think. To get the law of attraction to work you have to be open minded about what the universe will bring you. </p>
<p>If you say &#8220;I want that iPhone and I want my girlfriend to buy it for me&#8221;, there&#8217;s a 99% chance it will never happen. Why? Because you weren&#8217;t open minded about what you wanted (perhaps there&#8217;s something better than the iPhone out there for you?) and Secondly because you weren&#8217;t open minded about how you will receive it (the universe could give you an opportunity to work with a guy who will help you start a business which will make you enough money to buy an iPhone). </p>
<p>How does this work? When you start wanting something your subconscious mind will start working on ways to acquire it. Then when you go about your day you&#8217;ll start to notice anything that could possibly get you closer to getting that item. If you act on these things popping up you&#8217;ll often find yourself with what you desire. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s not that the object magically appears in your world with no effort required (as the secret suggests). But by thinking about it you become more attuned to getting that item and soon enough you&#8217;ll get it. The thing to remember is that:</p>
<p><strong>You cannot get what you want just by thinking about it</strong></p>
<p>You must want something, but it can&#8217;t be one single specific item (like some girl you were checking out), and you can&#8217;t focus on only one way to get it. Simply because your mind will create avenues for you to acquire what you want, but it can&#8217;t do magic tricks and/or seduce women for you. After you&#8217;ve figured out what you want simply focus on things that pop up and tell you &#8220;Hey look at me, I could bring you closer to those cool shoes&#8221; and go for them. You can also seek out specific advice or research into what you want and perhaps find different avenues to getting what you desire.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s also good to keep in mind that perhaps what you want isn&#8217;t what&#8217;s best for you and the universe is nudging you in a different direction. A common occurrence of this is people wanting to get back with their ex&#8217;s. If it&#8217;s not working perhaps there is a reason for that and you should probably go for that other girl who&#8217;s been trying to get you to notice her for over a year&#8230; things like this occur all the time that we just don&#8217;t notice because of our tunnel vision. You need to be focussed on your goal, but at the same time, open to the possibility that it could manifest in a multitude of different ways. </p>
<p>The theory of &#8220;Your thoughts will affect your immediate environment&#8221; is one wrought with skepticism, simply because it sounds silly. Although there are quite a few people who fully believe its true, this is why:</p>
<p><strong>Your thoughts create your immediate environment simply because that&#8217;s what you focus on. </strong></p>
<p>Just like when thinking about things you want, your mind will focus in on the things you want to pay most attention to in your immediate environment. Lets take the example of being late for work and getting stuck in horrible traffic (as mentioned on the secret). Whenever you drive to work your time averages out to be pretty much the same plus or minus a few minutes. The reason that you seem to be getting stuck behind slow idiots when you are late is simply because you are focusing on all the slow people on the road. You aren&#8217;t making them appear, they have been there every other day of the week, just now you start to notice them because you want them to get the hell off the road.</p>
<p>The law of attraction doesn&#8217;t work through magic tricks and wishing for what you want as many people think, but simply that by focusing on what you want your mind becomes attuned to that object and will help you find a multitude of ways to acquire it. Get out there and explore the world keeping what you desire in mind and tell me how many events have entered your reality now that you know they are out there. </p>
<p>Most of all, put the law of attraction into use and start thinking about what you desire, then see the results for yourself. It won&#8217;t give you what you want right now, but if you hold the intention to get or do something soon enough you&#8217;ll start to see opportunities and with action <strong>you can get what you desire. </strong></p>

]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s come to my attention that many beginners in the business world are making the same basic mistakes. Now these aren&#8217;t mistakes per-se, simply that this beginner is doing things in the wrong order and at the wrong time. </p>
<p>You may disagree with the following, and if you do I encourage you to leave me a comment to tell me why, for I love a good argument&#8230; I mean discussion.</p>
<p><strong>The Mistake: Building a Business</strong><br />
Now don&#8217;t get me wrong, building a business is awesome and is by far the best way to make money <em>in the long run</em>. The simply fact is however, those who start out by attempting to build a big business, produce their own products and try and be really big from the get go usually fail miserably. </p>
<p>The problem is not that this is a sound business model, it&#8217;s simply too much for one person to carry and as such you&#8217;ll run out of motivation before the project is finished, netting you no income and a lot of wasted time. </p>
<p>A Better way to go about it is to start off small, keep those big dreams in mind for the future, but don&#8217;t work on them just yet. Whenever someone asks me &#8220;How do I make money on the Internet?&#8221; I always give them this simply quiz:</p>
<p><em>What do you like better, English or Maths?</em></p>
<p>If they pick English I tell them to start blogging, or do the <A HREF='http://www.bummarketingmethod.com'>Bum Marketing Method</A>. If they pick maths I tell them to start working with adwords selling affiliate programs. </p>
<p>The reason I do this and don&#8217;t tell them to start their own business is simply that when you&#8217;re a beginner building a business from scratch is just way too much work. The thing that gave me and gives most people the most motivation to keep going with making money on the internet is that very first dollar, the dollar most will never see if they set their sights too big to begin with.</p>
<p>Of course aiming high isn&#8217;t bad, it&#8217;s awesome to aim for the stars (I&#8217;d love to be the next Sergey Brin or Larry Page someday), it&#8217;s just not good to undertake a huge project right off the mark, because most people don&#8217;t have the willpower to carry through with it. </p>
<p>Once you&#8217;ve made that first dollar online it&#8217;s like you&#8217;re a giant snowball rolling down the hill gathering more and more snow and momentum as you go, it truly is an exhilarating experience. You can start to really see the potential of the online world and will have much more motivation to keep on going with it. </p>
<p>Once you start to bring in a moderate income from the internet it&#8217;s a great idea to ditch those early methods of making money (keep a blog going, but writing articles to promote affiliate products is still not building your own brand and product) and start focusing on building a real solid income. It&#8217;s at this stage you should be able to outsource some of your work to get the ball rolling. No longer do you have to spend months doing boring tasks to build a business, you can outsource it to India for $200 and get it done in days <img src='http://www.timjrobinson.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Then you simply continually reinvest that money that you earn into even bigger and better projects, building your own brand, your own company with your own products and start taking on the big boys. The best things is, due to outsourcing being inexpensive and fast you can build a business as fast as your budget allows. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>2 Weeks ago if you mentioned twitter to me I would of gone &#8220;oh  yea, that thing, everyone keeps talking about it but its just so pointless&#8230;&#8221;. Which have been my thoughts of twitter ever since I heard about it over a year ago. </p>
<p>Now however my opinion has seriously taken a backflip, and I&#8217;ve started to realize just how powerful microblogging really is. </p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve never heard of twitter you can check it out at <A HREF='http://www.twitter.com'>http://www.twitter.com</A>. It is a web 2.0 service that allows you to post sms like messages which all your friends (and fans) can see. I like to think of it as a big permanent chatroom where you get to listen to who you want, and most posts are of great value, not simply spam messages or &#8220;OMG HI 2 U!!!&#8221; style messages. </p>
<p>What I really love about it is that it brings you and all your &#8220;Internet Idols&#8221; so to speak to the same level. I&#8217;ve been able to talk to a few of my Internet Marketing heroes (those that have helped take my businesses from barely getting by to thriving on the internet) one on one and realized that they are just normal fun people. </p>
<p>Not only this, it is excellent for finding great content, I&#8217;ve only been on twitter for a few weeks and have found 2-3 products as well as 5-6 blog posts of amazing quality that I wouldn&#8217;t have discovered otherwise. </p>
<p>Last of all its perfect for businesses and blogs, as you can announce anything you like, new products, new quality content and so on and all your fans can find out about it immediately without needing to visit your website. Note: Do interact with the community, if you simply go on to promote yourself without networking with others you&#8217;ll find yourself with no followers and no one wanting to talk to you. </p>
<p>My Twitter profile is at <A HREF=http://www.twitter.com/timjrobinson>http://www.twitter.com/timjrobinson</A> if you haven&#8217;t yet added me. </p>
<p>Finally, if I haven&#8217;t whetted your appetite for it enough, perhaps take a look at some of the other more influential bloggers talking about twitter and how much fun they&#8217;ve been having once they got onboard:</p>

]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So you want to have a fanatically popular blog right? The most visited and linked to website the Blogosphere? Perhaps you just want a powerful flood of visitors to your product page so you can quickly and easily make more money? Never underestimate the power of social proof. Having social proof will instantly empower all your content, giving it an effect of being pure gold even if you are discussing the merits of your mother’s Christmas pudding. </p>
<p>Ever wondered how the big blogs get so much power and influence? How they seem to grow exponentially while other blogs have just as many posts yet barely get by in terms of traffic? It’s the simple fact that people gravitate towards what other people like. Hence why 5% of the movies that come out in a year represent 95% of the profits, everyone goes for the blockbusters and everyone wants to see the latest movies so they can talk with their friends about them, share stories in their favourite forums and so on. </p>
<p>No one wants to go to that strange movie made by the weird guy in Russia that no one’s ever heard of, even if it is an amazing thought provoking movie, they’d much rather see spider man 3, because that’s what everyone else is doing. Same goes with your blog. Who would you trust more to make you money: A well known Internet Marketer who gets 10,000 visitors a day, or Joe Biggs, who has an audience of 15? They could even be writing exactly the same stuff, yet the well known guy will get thousands of people following his every move telling him he “spurts pure gold”, while Joe Biggs gets a handful of skimmers who leave his site within minutes. </p>
<p>The simple problem is: most people are sheep. Is it starting to click as to why the bigger blogs only seem to get bigger, while the smaller blogs seem to die out after many months or never really take off at all?</p>
<p>So how do you build this social proof? We’ll as a start don’t have anything on your blog/website that shows it’s unpopular, try and do the opposite and even if you only get 10 visitors a day, tell everyone that you get 300 visitors a month (which sounds like a lot more than 10 visitors a day) ;). Then report on your traffic increases with percentages, in the previous case, if you get 25 visits one day, report that you just got a MASSIVE 150% visitor increase literally overnight! You’re not lying, just presenting the truth in better light.</p>
<p>If your <A HREF=’http://www.feedburner.com’>FeedBurner</A> count is at 5, don’t put it on the site, as no one will want to subscribe to that, if it’s at 50 it’s a maybe and if it’s at 500 put it in easy sight of everyone, as many people will actually subscribe simply because 500 other people have already subscribed, even if they have no idea how good your site is…<br />
The thing is people love to be in the “in” crowd and will do anything in their power to gravitate towards the masses. Whether unconsciously or consciously they see that <A HREF=’http://www.feedburner.com’>FeedBurner</A> number the first time they come onto your site and they’ll prejudge you based on how big that number is. If it’s at 5 they’ll think “oh another worthless blog” while when it’s at 500 it’s more like “Hey this blog MUST have some great content, if everyone else likes it…”</p>
<p>This goes true for comments too, if you aren’t getting many comments, encourage visitors to make them, make it as easy as possible to post a comment (don’t require logging in or anything), and even post your own comments under a variety of names to make the article look popular :). </p>
<p>Same goes for Digg, if you have a Digg button but you don’t get many Diggs, don’t use one of those buttons that show’s how many Diggs you get or your visitors will think “oh well, this site isn’t getting voted much, must be bad quality” and from then on you’re on a downward spiral right before they have even read your content.</p>
<p>The pure and simple truth is that social proof will instantly improve the power, attention level and quality of your content without you needing to write, rewrite and write your articles again. Just like being in the “cool” group in high school meant you got attention no matter how cool you really were, being perceived to be a popular or “cool” blog on the net will attract instant attention to what you have to say and far more satisfied visitors. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A Thought just occurred to me on how similar life is to sultana bran, and people treat life in the same way. For those that don&#8217;t know sultana bran is a cereal that contains flakes and sultanas and often there are many more flakes then there are sultana&#8217;s. </p>
<p>It seems that the flakes of sultana bran are life&#8217;s problems, while the sultanas are the rewards. Often we get far more problems in life then we get rewards as thats just the way life works, it doesn&#8217;t give rewards unless the person works hard for it and if the person gives up then they don&#8217;t get anything. </p>
<p>So people spend their lives digging through the problems (which are the flakes of sultana bran) in search of rewards (the sultanas), in order to get to the sultanas they must constantly tackle the problems first. So they dig away dig away and eventually they go through about 3-4 problems then they decide its just too hard and the reward isn&#8217;t worth it. When there was a sultana just below that last flake! So they start on a different stack of problems, digging away, digging away in search of sultanas, and in that pile too they get through 3-4 problems then give up as they decide there are no rewards there. Meanwhile, just below this thin layer of flakes lies a hidden cache of amazing sultanas! </p>
<p>Far too often people continue to look for the sultanas in life but never receive any (apart from the few crappy ones on top) because they give up just before they reach them. Its true the rule I heard before that 90% of people give up when they are 10% away from success. So continue to push yourself that 10% more in every area of life and I guarantee you&#8217;ll reap massive rewards. </p>
<p>Are you constantly giving up just before the sultanas of life, or digging your way through and reaping the rewards?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;ll after trying out both sides of the force (if you can put it that way) testing out the waters of both being a lightworker and a darkworker I&#8217;ve finally come to a conclusion (although more darkworker work may be needed). </p>
<p>If you&#8217;re unsure of who or what lightworkers or darkworker are, they are pretty much 2 different views on life. A lightworking kind of person is someone who gives to others without expecting anything in return, they chose to provide value to other people and help serve others helping everyone else learn and be the best they can be. A Darkworker on the other hand is one that likes to gain wealth, fame and fortune for themselves and don&#8217;t worry about how other are doing (they are merely competition), and aim to get the most from everyone else to become the best, the most powerful etc. </p>
<p>Although going on either path you can become rich and/or famous they both go about it in very different ways. </p>
<p>- a example of a famous lightworker would be Mother Teresa who aims to help and serve others, while a rich lightworker would be Sergey Brin and Larry Page of Google, who aimed to build the best search technology to help others organize their life and find information easier and faster than ever before. They did not force anyone to use Google, Gmail or any of their other technologies, they just provided the best technology out there and people came in droves to use it. </p>
<p>- a famous darkworker would be someone such as Paris Hilton who is the average selfish girl who wants fame and fortune for herself and cares little about others, while a rich darkworker would be someone such as Bill Gates who sees everyone else as competition to his empire. He aims to squelch competition and force companies to make programs and other pieces of software that only run on Windows so that Microsoft will hold a monopoly over the computer market. </p>
<p>Now being a darkworker doesn&#8217;t necessarily make someone evil, it simply means they have a different outlook on life. Bill Gates is a great person helping donate billions of dollars to charities around the world. In business however Bill Gates is probably as ruthless as they get, you can tell he sees most other companies as competition and will only seek to partner with them if it provides very beneficial to Microsoft. </p>
<p>A Lightworker takes a different approach to business, and often you&#8217;ll see most if not all of the top blogs on the internet are run by lightworkers. This is simply because a lightworker aims to work with others to propel both their businesses and with blogs all being interconnected and part of one giant social mass it&#8217;s a lot easier to gain more traffic as a lightworker. </p>
<p>A Darkworker on the other hand has much more trouble in this modern age as most of the time they are simply focussed on getting themselves traffic, making more money for themselves, and so on, never really wanting to give back to their niche market. You&#8217;ll often find darkworkers resorting to spammy or underhanded tactics in order to get more sales, not realizing if they give first they will get in return. </p>
<p>For greater depth and detail check out stevepavlinas blog at http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2007/03/are-you-a-lightworker-or-a-darkworker/</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve noticed in life recently in my finances I was using darkworker techniques, I would create websites with little to no good content aiming to make as much money out of my visitors as possible. This could have worked if I tried harder but after a while I realized really wasn&#8217;t something I&#8217;d like to do, I&#8217;d like to create sites that help others learn and improve the world as a whole rather than simply make myself rich. </p>
<p>As a start I&#8217;ve been doing small things to help others learn and improve and teaching others things that I know a fair bit about but have never shared. I&#8217;ve converted jeddesigns.com into a site to teach others programming in simple terms, as I&#8217;ve found in the past when I&#8217;ve wanted to learn programming every tutorial on the internet is extremely complex and doesn&#8217;t seem to be written for the average joe. </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve also been releasing source code for projects I&#8217;ve written at uni to help others learn from them and hopefully create something better and more powerful than I can, seeing as I don&#8217;t use these old projects anymore I don&#8217;t see any real reason to keep the source code all to myself. </p>
<p>The path of a lightworker really is something I&#8217;ve been working towards all my life as many of you know, my biggest dream is to help rebuild third world countries to first world status. Giving them renewable resources (solar electricity, recycled filtered water) and making them completely self sufficient, as well as providing them with access to the internet and proper teachers so that kids are able to grow up and perform the same professions that children in first world countries strive to do.</p>
<p>This will not only increase the rate at which the human race as a whole advances in technology and science, it will give these millions of people a fresh start on life and an ability to do what they wish to do, rather than scavenging around garbage dumps for food for the rest of their lives. I only hope this dream can be achieved before I pass away for I&#8217;m excited at what possibilities the future holds, if we could double or even triple the amount of educated scientists/researchers in the world we could invent new technologies, explore new planets, do new things faster and better than ever, its amazing when you think about how slow we are currently advancing compared to what we could do in the future if every one of the 6 billion people in the world could help improve the human race as a whole.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve discovered the true key to success, the way in which anyone can have anything they truly desire. However let me tell you, its not easy, nor quick, nor painless. In fact, true success in everything they would like, is a dream 99% of people will not accomplish. </p>
<p>We have been lied to all our lives, things are supposed to be quick and easy. Microwave food, instant communication, online purchases in the blink of an eye. Society has been getting faster and faster in the past decades and its really made life easier for the modern day marketer. </p>
<p>Seduce the women of your dreams by saying this one phrase to have her immediately fall in love and want to have rampant sex all day long. Earn Trillions of dollars online in the blink of an eye, I bought the internet and switzerland yesterday and SO CAN YOU! You&#8217;ve heard it all before, perhaps this is an exaggeration, but it may as well be what 99% of Internet marketers say. </p>
<p>I&#8217;m sorry to tell you this, but if you still believe worthwhile success can be had with a $19.95 info product, you&#8217;ve got whats known as Silver Bullet Syndrome (SBS). SBS is where you believe there is this one thing that you will make you smarter, richer, famous, energetic, fit, or seductive with no real effort on your part. </p>
<p>There have been many who have spent years (some even as much as 30 years) following these invisible silver bullets buying products to get rich and ending up with a huge line of worthless ebooks and nothing to show for it. </p>
<p>You don&#8217;t have to live your life like this, for there is a way to reach success,  just 4 words that if anyone anywhere follows them, they will succeed. They are:</p>
<p>Effort-> DO SOMETHING! 95% of people read an interesting idea/piece of information/key to success and NEVER take action, don&#8217;t even worry about where you&#8217;re going and what you should do, as you get moving the path ahead to your goal will reveal itself all in good time. To wait until everything is fully mapped and planned out and at the perfect moment is like waiting for all the traffic lights to be green for 5 miles before setting off on a journey, its just plain stupid. Not to say you shouldn&#8217;t plan, just take action and plan at the same time, plan as you move towards your goal. </p>
<p>Failure -> &#8220;To succeed you must first fail&#8221; - Not a truer sentence has ever been spoken. There is not one single successful person at anything in the entire world who has not failed many many times. NOT ONE. </p>
<p>Learning -> The 2nd part of the process is learning from your mistakes, its the ready, fire, aim approach, where you try something, see what happens, and adapt to the outcome. </p>
<p>Perseverance -> If you don&#8217;t give up YOU CANNOT fail, it is impossible (aside from death) the only way anyone fails something is by giving up. </p>
<p>Take those 4 words on board, and I wish you all the success in your future endeavors.</p>
<p>Cheers, Tim</p>
