How To Overcome Information Overload

Information overload is extremely hard to deal with. Most marketers who get started with internet marketing are usually very ecstatic to take on all of the information and resources in, but when they realize that there are so much that gets involved with building an online business, they give up and they find it hard to overcome all of the information that they get.

Information overload is about learning and researching, only to find yourself covered by so much information.

Overcoming information overload isn't all too difficult, but it can take some time before you truly beat the confusion and the difficulties.

The best way to overcome all of that information is by taking everything one by one. Don't confuse yourself by learning everything all at one time.

You should also ignore following different methods and following only one.

In other words, if you realize that you need to build a site, build a site first without moving on to the next thing.

So, it's only normal for these marketers to feel confused and smushed by all the pressure and misunderstood information.

To get started on the right path, don't keep learning from different sources. Basically, if you find a great mentor, continue to work with that same mentor. They know where you started, and they know how you should continue.

If you bought an ebook or joined an online training membership, follow everything one by one. This will help you to do everything without putting so much pressure on yourself.

7 Questions To Ask Yourself If You Are Stuck In Your Comfort Zone

One of the people I mentor was stuck in making a move out of his comfort zone. I told him to answer these seven questions.

1-What do I really want?

Interesting, to know that we rarely take time to figure this out. What do you really want to do with your life.  Figure out what you enjoy doing and be the you that you want to be.

2-Do I really want to change?

Asking yourself this question will help you decide if you are already doing something that you do well and enjoy.  Maybe you just aren't focused on a part of your life that you'd like to see grow.

3-What's the positive intent?

With so much happening around us we think there is no room for even considering  there might be light at the end of the tunnel. Look for the positive intent and by the way there is always one...if you allow yourself to find it. 

4-Am I OK with what I'm doing?

Sometimes we end doing something for someone else and not for ourselves. Are you try to please them or yourself?  

5-Am I happy where I am right now?

If the answer is yes, then grab onto this and be the best you can be.  

6-How much could I have?

Here is what I want to say to you...Be a pig! Because in this case there is no such thing as having too much or too little, but it's more on how much you want it. 

7-What motivates me?

What motivates you? I cannot nor can anyone else motivate you. It's an answer you have to discover for yourself. 

Seek and you will find the answer in you...it has always been there...waiting for the opportunity to answer...when asked. 

Go ahead...ask.

What is Selling?...Not What You Think

Saddle Up!

This is great wisdom from the late John Wayne. How many times have we held ourselves back from achieving a dream or a goal because of fear?

Consider this:The greatest tragedy can be found in the graveyard...why? It is where all the books that could have been written, the innovations that could have happened, the companies that could have been started and the dreams that are buried with what could have been.

Isn't time to saddle up and get past the fear?

What Is Innovation?

I define innovation as "The ability to see what is NOT there and then develop a service or product to fill the gap" The marketplace is always changing and you don't need to be focused on this next technological breakthrough instead focus on what is happening now. 

One of the markets is health and fitness. There are health clubs for women only. There are ones that attract younger people and I have even heard about naked yoga...I think I will pass on this one.
What about the biggest growing segment of the population...the Baby Boomers? 

Click the link below to read an article about a health club focused for the over 50 crowd. I think this story is really about innovation. They did not invent health clubs...they saw a gap and filled it.

You can do the same in your business or if you have an idea for a business...act on it.

Stuck In Decision Making

One of my mentors and teachers was Dr.Ron Hering. As I was going through his program, to become a certified trainer in Accelerated Behavior Change...we would discuss the process of making decisions or not making decisions. 

Have you ever felt nervous about making a decision that could affect the rest of your life?  Who hasn't !

It's fairly common for people to vacillate back and forth between several choices, whether they are related to career, money, business, opportunities, or even relationships. 

The good news is that making wise decisions is a matter of weighing the potential pros and cons of every available outcome.  Below you'll find a simple 3-step process to help you make wise decisions no matter what part of your life they may affect.

1- What Do You Stand to Gain?

When you've got more than one option to choose from, a great first question to ask of each one is, "What do I stand to gain from choosing this option?"  If the rewards are big, you might be willing to withstand a bit of risk in order to benefit from the opportunity.  Conversely, if the payoff would be small, you might not feel so confident about taking a chance right now.

2- What Do You Stand to Lose?

The next question to ask is, "What do I stand to lose if this option doesn't work out?"  No one likes to think of the negatives in a potential opportunity, but you could save yourself a lot of heartache with a bit of foresight!  If your losses could be huge with a particular option, you might decide to hold off for awhile to see if the odds improve over time.

3- What's the Worst Thing that Could Happen?

Finally, take it one step further and ask, "What is the worst thing that could happen if I choose this option, and would I be willing to accept those consequences?"  It may seem like a very pessimistic question, but it's extremely effective at clarifying the situation!  If you couldn't handle the consequences of making such a choice, then you know immediately that it's not the right choice for you at this time.  If, on the other hand, the consequences wouldn't be so bad, you know itís a viable option for you.

What do you do if all of your options hold the same potential rewards and consequences?  Go with your gut!  Take a few minutes to think carefully about each possibility, and then choose the one you feel strongest about. When it comes right down to it, there are no guarantees in decision-making. 

Bottom Line: You simply weigh the pros and cons, listen to your intuition, and do the best you can.  

In the end, there really isn't any such thing as a "bad" decision, because you do learn something from each one you make.  If you keep that in mind you should grow more confident with each choice you make, which will help you make even better decisions in the future.

Be the Difference!
