Are you taking profitable action?

That single word is the biggest hurdle for most people trying to earn an income online: Action.

And yet, once you’ve done it, everything can fall into place.

Everything that is, if the action you take is the right one. If not, it could be an expensive waste of your most precious resource: Time.

Its funny – we all know we can only earn an living if we do something, but on the Internet, when there are so many different things you can do, the act of doing is often so difficult.

Why can that be?

Well. Much of the time, its down to information overload.

Consider this: Marketing copywriters will often tell you not to give customers a choice when buying something. Their reason is because if customers have to make a decision, it adds a layer of difficulty to the sale. Sometimes its better just to present them with a solution, with no choices, so they can either take it or leave it. When you do this, more customers will take it than if you had given them a choice to make first.

How you spend your time is as important as how you spend your money.

If there are several different things you can do at each step towards reaching your objective, it makes that objective a lot harder than if there is a single choice at each step.

When presented with too many options, you’re more likely to do nothing, and remain in a state of uncertainty about which one to do, than to pick one for all the right reasons and invest your time in it…

Does that dilemma sound familiar?

I remember my driving instructor telling me once about a young woman he was giving a lesson to. When they reached a roundabout (traffic circle), she asked “which way do you want me to go here?”

The driving instructor replied: “If I don’t give you directions, you are to go straight on”.

So she did. And they ended up in the flower bed in the middle of the roundabout!

It all happened in an instant. She was just following what she *thought* were her instructions, and she didn’t have time to reason with herself that going straight on at a roundabout wasn’t a normal thing to do.

Scared driverWhen in car headlights, bunnies are prone to stand stock still instead of run left or right, even though they remain in more danger that way.

In the heat of the moment, reasoning doesn’t come to them.

Tell me this: How many times have you seen a fantastic opportunity online, invested in it, and then done nothing with it? Belive me, I’ve read thousands of sales letters and seen some amazing opportunities. I’ve bought them many times only to end up doing nothing with them. I don’t do it so much any more because I have conditioned myself away from it, but sometimes its still hard not to.

In the heat of the moment, especially when pressed with urgency or scarecity, we will often make decisions which are, like the rabbit in the headlights’, irrational. Ill-advised even.

This is just one area in which mentoring can help.

With a good mentor, you should expect to reach your goal and save thousands in unnecessary expense. Yes, thousands. Tens of thousands even; and then you should end up earning double the amount in half the time it would otherwise take.

Mentorship like this is worth tens of thousands, but usually you can get it for around three or four. And considering what it can give you – a lifetime of freedom and prosperity, fast – it is a tiny amount to pay.

When you receive direct advice from someone who has already trodden the path, someone who has reached the goals you want to achieve, someone who can give you the most direct route to your aim, you are taking a positive step towards quicker, more tangible success.

Passing the TorchMentors are therefore valuable assets, and believe me, you won’t find anyone who has succeeded, and I mean really succeeded in life, who didn’t have a mentor to help them.

Think of it this way: No one is ever going to give you a working business. Sorry, that just isn’t going to happen. but a good mentor will pass you their torch, still burning brightly, for you to run with towards your goal.

In doing so, they are giving you everything they know to help you succeed, and mapping your course so you don’t waver from the path.

Who you choose as your mentor is an important decision. It has to be someone you can trust, and who’s presentation and style you can relate to. It should be someone who you know you can learn from, someone who has reached a place where you want to be.

But that’s not all. Too many mentorships allow huge class sizes in which the mentors don’t actually get to know each individual customer. If you find yourself on the receiving end of this type of mentorship, you are being fed unpersonalized information: Information of the type which may or may not apply to you personally, information which you may have to be selective about. And if you have to be selective about what information to act on, you’re less likely do it… remember? :)

So here’s my advice:

Book an Action Booster session with me. Let me hear what you want to achieve, no matter how far or near you are to achieving it, and I will set down a recommended set of clear-cut action steps which you can do straight away to make it happen.

This isn’t a difficult decision. I’m not going to ask you for thousands in payment. You can try it out and see if it helps. If it does, you’ll find yourself on a fast-track to success, with nothing to stop you achieving everything you set out to do. If it doesn’t, you’ll have learned some valuable traffic generating tips, the ones I keep closest to my chest. You’ll be able to use them time and time again to grow a series of income streams in the same way I have.

Either way, you’re going to get my time at a fraction of its normal price because I’m on a mission to see more people get ahead faster. Less floundering, more action. That’s what I want to see, and that’s what will make you succeed.

Here’s what you’ll get with your intensive Action Booster session:

  1. Pre-session preparation. In a phone call with my office, and using a specially prepared online form, you will relay to me your hopes and dreams, plus give me a handle on what you’ve already achieved and what you already know. We will also give you helpful tips and guidance in how best to spend your intensive 30 minute Action Booster, so that you come away with as much as you can carry in the way of action steps, chunks of solid advice and tips, and tailor-made help.
  2. An intensive 30 minutes consultation (either face-to-face in London or on the phone), structured specifically to give you a clear set of actions. Things you can do starting straight away, that will carry you along the most direct route to your goal.
  3. Post-session de-brief. Here’s when everything you’ve got from your session will chrystalize into a meaningful series of tasks. This is one of the most important parts of the process, for it is here when everything takes shape and you can see the straight road ahead of you.

Whatever your goal is, whether it is income-related (three hundred thousand per year, for example), or product related (to sell a thousand copies of my e-book), I will help you using direct consultation and personal advice tailored specifically for you and you alone.

    A good mentor, like a good accountant will save you money not cost you money. As someone who has taught adults for 28 years and who has seen Tim teach in small groups and in large I can say that he is an excellent mentor.

    It is very rare in my experience of several years and several mentors for an accomplished internet marketer to be a good teacher but Tim Brocklehurst is that rare bird.

    You can save yourself several years of confusion and frustration by taking action with such good guidance.

    Hi Tim,
    What you have written is so true, I felt that you were talking about me. I have taken action in a number of things, now I can’t even afford to eat a hamburger out. I have wasted so much money, its sad to have to think about it. Being a new person to the internet, it is very hard to find a mentor, as you said there is information overload. Trying to learn everything you can, but not really trusting one specific person or action plan. I guess it goes with my background of being a former Law Enforcement
    Officer. Now, I don’t have anymore credit to purchase anything to have a mentor, so I guess I’m on my own. I couldn’t seem to understand the MVS program which I purchased, now I can’t remember where I left off in it.If I would have been a little smarter, I would have done my diligence on google to find a qualified mentor.

    Respectfully,

    George Heine
