1.) Inactivity -  Your income is going nowhere. Either you are in the wrong business; not doing the right things, not being consistent or just not doing anything!

2.) Active - Your income is on the move upward. You attend to it daily, looking for ways to increase it even more by study, reading and applying what you are learning.

3.) Passive - Your income has turned into a work horse. It builds strength, confidence and steadiness on its own by attending to it in maintenance mode.

Which income side are you in? Each of us falls into one or more of these. Every penny of income is up to you. Either you are building your income fast, steady or not at all. Truth be told, I kept hopping from one to the other. I would not do anything, then get motivated because the dog needed more milkbones or something else was needed around the house. I would get active and work on it daily. Then the side track train would come along and I would take a ride on it. BOOM..right back on the inactive monorail. The internet can be a blessing or a curse – depending on who is  the conductor. I found out the hard way that I was letting the internet and its offers conduct ME. Time to take my train engine back.

I asked – what can I do to shift my income into active mode then slip it into a passive situation so I can start another income? There is a wealth of information out there to learn from. There is no magic train (bus for your older folk)  you can get on to see it. You need to lay your track down one at a time. Patience, persistence and consistency is key for your income. What ever system, plan or business you are in, get active in it. You will see your way through.

I have a couple MLM’s I am in. Yes…they are making me money. Yes they provide a great services. Yes I have marketing systems in place to promote them that work. Yes I decided to take a different track after I took control of the internet. The tracks I am laying are to help you examine your tools, your mindset and to show you other options to get your income rev’ed up. We all need a little steam to get to where we want to be.

In the next several posts, I will show you what I have learned and where I got that information. Other bloggers are a great source. However, you need to check them out before you go and do what they say. Yep…there are scammers in the blogosphere to! Just be careful…ok? Don’t get your train sucked into the tunnel of darkness.

You and your income are totally worth the time and effort it takes to get it rock solid and on the right path. Good or bad economy – no difference – everyone has the right and the privilege to earn money.

Have a great day – time to get the dog some ‘gravy train’!
See you next post!

Make 2010 YOUR year!

I saw these three links on the news some time ago. I bookmarked them to use during the year. Bank Rate helped me find a great rate on my CD that was coming up. That in turn led me to a local bank which I met a branch manager who was honest and showed me what to do. (I have no clue with CD’s/IRA’s). There is tons of other information at this site. From refinancing to college and mortgages. All this is free to use!

Simplifi is another great free tool I saw on T.V.. Everyone should have a financial plan and goals. This site will help you plan for both. I personally have not tried it yet, but I will take a weekend and go for it. Looks like a winner to me!

The last one I saw and bookmarked was Mint. This takes your financial goals and puts you on a budget. Yeah…I don’t like the ‘budget’ word either, but hey, this is free to!

I plan on making 2010 MY year and you can to. These three free sites look like a terrific start to rev things up in my personal and business finances. This will help me set my long term business goals and short ones to.

Everyone should check these sites out. All of them are free, and if you are serious about your business or personal income/finances, this will make 2010 YOUR year!

To your financial future!

Dreams (or desires) can undermine your potential or set you on the path to success.  You’ve set your goals and more often than not, mayhem sets in and you just plain give up!  Allow me to explain…

Your dreams, wishful ‘happenings’ are forms of desires you want to have or experience in your life.  Just because you have these dreams, does not necessarily mean you have the ‘juice’ to make it come about.  Turning your dreams in to an all-consuming desire is foundational to your success. Napoleon Hill’s book  Think and Grow Rich  has a chapter on desire which explains the process.  Should you attempt to reach a dream you have, without the desire fire, your goals will eventually be chaotic (all over the place) and mayhem is the result! Then, of course you throw your hands up in the air and quit.  Like James Ray says ‘…not a very elegant way to live’

Choose a dream, get the desire for it. Stay focused on that desire and you will come up with specific goals directed to that desire.  Follow those goals, plans to their conclusion and more will develop for you.  Brain Tracy is a master teacher on the subject.

No one wants mayhem in their life.  We all want to be successful in what ever we do and are involved in. There is no perfect place/time to start either…so don’t wait around for one…won’t happen.  Start with what you have.  If you are looking for income, there are many links on my side bar to look at.  If you are looking to get your mind thinking right try The 11 Forgotten Laws.

What ever you do, do not get caught up in the craziness and mayhem that exists around you. Bob Proctor gave great advise when he said ‘…You don’t have to slow down…just calm down’.  Keep moving forward and stay focused on your desire! Then you will find the path to success.

Thank you, as always, for your reading time!

Have a prosperous day!
