Time for another issue of Five on Friday. This is where I list five of my favorite blog posts that I’ve read in the last few weeks. Take a look…
Why IM Marketing Gimmicks Are Like “Hippie Crack” – by Greg Poulos
The title of this post alone should make you want to read it.
For the record, Greg is the mastermind behind an extremely successful business. And in this post he talks about one of the big pitfalls of Internet marketing: lack of focus.
Plus, he offers a solution for how to handle all the hundreds of money-making techniques we’re deluged with every year.
Why Goal Setting Sucks, Sometimes, I Think – by Stephen Dean
Stephen makes the argument that goal setting is overrated because “You either ARE or you AREN’T.” If you’ve had limited success with written goals, then this may explain why.
Sigh… The End of an Abusive Relationship – by Victor Cheng
Check out this post for some business lessons we should all be taking to heart, especially in times like these when many markets are shrinking. (Unfortunately, many businesses are doing just the opposite of what Victor suggests, and are suffering for it.)
Why Some People Follow Through & Others Don’t – by Anthony Robbins
This is actually a 38-minute video interview in which Anthony Robbins, Frank Kern, and John Reese talk about why some people follow through and others don’t.
If you’ve ever had trouble finishing a home study course, taking action on what you’ve learned, or following through on your intentions, you’ll definitely want to watch this video.
The Greatest Benefit of a Freelance Career – by Kevin Rogers
Here Kevin relates a story that literally turned his life around and led him eventually to a freelance copywriting career. It’s a good story, and a good lesson.
Kevin concludes, “…for me, the freedom to make my own day is the greatest benefit of a freelance career.” Of course, you’ve got to read the story to see how Kevin arrived at this conclusion.
Have a great weekend!
