Chill out with friends?

Here's what I do; I tell them not to bother me during week because I am busy, but I make it a point to get together at least once a fortnight with some really close associates. Because of my attitude, I get curious enquiries like "What is it that you're so busy with"?

And guess what I tell them? I say "Look John, I have found a way I can be financially free in 2-3 years and I am dedicating my life to it. I know for a fact that I will achieve it, and I'd like to have you as my partner. If you’re interested to find out more, let me know. Otherwise, don't stop my progress".

Excellent prospecting line too, don't you think?

What about all household chores that you have? Hey, I have them too. But I know that there are better ways to make use of my time, so I "outsource" my laundry, car maintenance and almost everything I can. I know I will probably spend more money than I usually do, but I am intent on "making time" for my home based business.

I stopped watching TV years ago, and even went almost a year without one. However I do go to cinemas and watch news, but I just can’t be bothered with watching every season of CSI or American Idol because I know there are more productive things I can do with my time. Now you may be wondering "That’s radical. Do you mean I have to sacrifice my entertainment when I start my own business?"

No… not really, but you MUST learn to control it. Go to local bookstore and try getting a book on profiles of really rich and famous people. I guarantee you that you'll find out most of them don't watch much TV either. The theory of Delayed Gratification states that in order to have any amount of success in life, you must learn to postpone your pleasures until you have achieved your goal. Isn't it worth sacrificing your TV time for 2 years, and after that, be able to watch your favorite shows on a 56 inch plasma TV, with all time in world?

You tell me...

Don't let little things rob you of great opportunities. Time is only common denominator between rich, middle-class and poor. In other words, only thing rich and poor share is that they both have 24 hours a day. It's how we make use of our time that will determine how far we go towards achieving our dreams.

Name this new folder “! GoThrive Online Ezine !”.

Just like that. “! GoThrive Online Ezine !”.

Save all of messages that you receive from me in that folder. This will save you trouble of having to look very far for messages when you want to go back and reference a tool, service or article that we discuss.

Why wierd looking folder name (! GoThrive Online Ezine !)? I learned this trick from Alex Mandossian. When you name a folder beginning with "!" it will be listed first in alphabetical order. In fact, "!" beats out every other special character in this regard.

So, by naming folder "! GoThrive Online Ezine !", email client (software program), which by default sorts all folders alphabetically, will put my new folder above everyone else's folder. I'm now first folder that my new subscriber sees every time he or she opens email client. Very cool.

This same tactic can be used with website bookmarks!

Let's go test three bookmark examples and you can download scripts for your own use. Go here now:

Are you back? Did you test this out? Great.

Honestly, it's hard to predict what kind of mileage you'll get by implementing this little bookmark trick, but it surely can't hurt to be at top of favorites list for everyone who does bookmark your site.
