Automatic Wealth by Michael Masterson

January 6, 2009 – 7:15 am

Automatic Wealth: The Six Steps to Financial Independence
Price: USD 11.21

43 used & new available from USD 5.48

In this book, Masterson outlines the six steps you need to take to achieve financial independence:

Recognizing reality
Planning to become wealthy
Developing wealthy habits
How to radically increase your personal income
Getting richer while you sleep
How to retire early

Unlike a lot of books on building wealth, what’s outlined in this book won’t take you 40 years to do. In fact, Masterson’s plan is based on a seven year cycle, which is perfect for those who are nearing retirement and don’t have a lot to retire on.

His advice is practical, and he actually shows you how to figure out how to determine how much money you need in order to retire comfortably. Getting to where you want to be won’t be easy, but it is possible if you follow this book.

There are tons of tips throughout the book to show you how to change your direction and get to where you want to be. This isn’t like a lot of books like “The Secret”, where you are taught that all you have to do is start thinking positive. This book is practical; it shows you what to do. It also points out something I have known for some time: pessimistic people get rich and optimistic people get rich.

True wealth, including money is about having the right mindset, but the amount of money you have has absolutely nothing to do with you being happy. You may have millions and still be miserable. You may have nothing and be deliriously happy.

Masterson shows that changing your mindset will help you achieve happiness, but just being happy won’t help you get rich financially. To have more than enough money to take care of your financial needs, you need a plan, and you need to take action and make good decisions.

Masterson shows you how to do all of those things while reducing your risk so you don’t lose your shirt in the process of building wealth.

I highly recommend this book for anyone whether you have anything to retire on or not. It will change the way you think, but more importantly, it will give you an actionable plan to achieve your financial goals.

Ready, Fire, Aim: Zero to $100 Million in No Time Flat by Michael Masterson

January 5, 2009 – 8:50 am

Ready, Fire, Aim: Zero to 0 Million in No Time Flat (Agora Series)
Price: USD 18.45

51 used & new available from USD 14.00

Having worked for some time to teach others how to grow their businesses, I was looking for more and better information to provide my clients.

Growing a business is a difficult thing to do, especially if you want to grow it into multi million dollar revenues. However, I don’t think that growing your business into a larger enterprise is really as difficult if you read this book.

Even if you are only interested in growing your business to a few thousand a month, or a few hundred thousand a year, this book will still help you. That’s because most of the techniques in this book can be scaled.

What Michael Masterson does is explain the four stages of business based on his experience. He then explains the pitfalls in each stage and shows you how to overcome each stage, whether it’s structuring your business correctly or developing your product line.

Regardless of what stage you are in though, he consistently drives home the most important lesson that every business owner needs to be reminded of: if you want to grow your business, if you want to make money, you have to market.

In Stage 1, you create your first product. The focus here is on marketing. You want to get your first customer and build a customer base.

In Stage 2, you continue to focus on marketing, but you also add more products to your product line.

In Stage 3, the focus is in modifying the structure of your business so you aren’t working all of the time and your business continues to grow.

In Stage 4, you’ve come full circle. You determine the role you want to play in your business, as well as getting sales going again as they may stall.

In fact, marketing and making sales is the most important element of your business, and if you don’t market, you won’t make sales.

It really doesn’t matter what type of business you own either; the formula is the same. You create products that others want to buy, and you create them as quickly as possible and get busy marketing. (Perfecting your product and making it better is something you do as you get feedback from your customers.)

As a long time reader of Michael Masterson, and someone who reads Early to Rise every day, I cannot stress enough how important it is to read this book.

If you are truly committed to growing your business, and you want a business that will provide you long term sustainable income, you need to read this book. This book will help you grow your business, and it will also help you make money if you apply the principles he outlines.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who truly wants to understand the business process, grow your business, and make more money without wasting your time.

Bluegrass Solutions Rings In New Year With Launch of Professional Writing Services

January 5, 2009 – 7:54 am

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Bluegrass Solutions Rings In New Year With Launch of Professional Writing Services

(Cecilia, Kentucky - January 1, 2009) Faced with sudden unemployment when former employer closes doors, Bluegrass Solutions recovers fumble and heads toward goal line. 15 jobs saved and several more created.

Marketing Squad; an IPNM company, announced November 7, 2008 that it was ceasing custom writing operations effective immediately. This unexpected move left a team of 15 freelance editors and writers basically out of work. It was not welcome news in neither the current economic climate nor the time of year.

General Manager for the writing team, Mike Lawson, saw more opportunity than catastrophe in the situation. He quickly partnered with close associate Jinger Jarrett; another professional writer and internet marking specialist, and they went to work. Together they brought Bluegrass Solutions out of the ground in less than a month. All of the writing team followed them.

“It’s been a hectic two months,” Lawson said, “But we’ve managed to pull it off smoothly; at least so far. We have a steady stream of work flowing and a solid marketing plan in place for 2009. Of course, having a well-trained group of professional writers to roll into place was the winning ticket. It took me over a year to hand-pick this team and we owe most of the success here to them: they never missed a beat.”

Bluegrass Solutions offers a full array of custom writing services targeted at the Web:

SEO content articles for distribution and web pages

Press releases, Copywriting to include web content, Site SEO services and consulting, Publishing: conventional to self-publishing: printed to eBooks and Kindle books

While many industries are cutting back traditional marketing budgets in the present economic crunch, online advertising is expected to increase by about 6% in 2009. The reason is simple, according to Jarrett:

“Businesses that will survive this recession are those that continue to produce sales through the middle of it. There is no other way. Sales are directly proportional to marketing efforts put into them. More and more businesses are marketing online both for its incumbent success and cost effectiveness. Bluegrass Solutions is positioned on the leading edge of this surge in popularity.”

The business model followed by Bluegrass Solutions is more traditional than many businesses coming online today. They are here for the long-haul and not just a quick profit that has become so common in today’s marketplace.

“If I had to sum up our company image in one word, it would be: loyalty,” Lawson said. “BGS is loyal to our customers; their satisfaction is how we measure success. BGS is loyal to our workforce; they are the backbone of our success. As a result, we are blessed with the loyalty of both.”

About Bluegrass Solutions: Based in Kentucky, USA as a leading provider of custom professional writing services for the Internet. If you would like more information on their services, or would like to interview Jinger Jarrett, contact the company at: contact@bluegrasssolutions.org

ScribeFire - Fire Up Your Blogging!

Fire Up Your Blogging and Make More Money from Your Websites

January 2, 2009 – 2:08 pm

Recently I made the switch from Internet Explorer to Firefox. I have been a fan of IE for a long time because it’s faster, and quite frankly it was easier to use.

However, somewhere a long the line, it became unstable, and after getting a virus on our home desktop from using it, I switched to Firefox.

Firefox 3 is much more stable, and it’s easier to use. It’s also faster now. With better speed, more security, and some great tools to increase my productivity, it has become my default browser.

One of my favorite features is how I have been able to increase my productivity, especially with blogging. I’ve started using a new tool called Scribe Fire.

What Scribe Fire does is allow you to use a feature called “Blog This Page.”

After you install Scribe Fire, you add a button to your browser toolbar. Every time you’re on a page you want to write about, you click the drop down on the button and then click “Blog this page.”

A blog editor opens, and it will automatically put the link to the page in your blog editor. Then you have the option to write your blog post.

It’s not perfect. It doesn’t match all of the fields that I have in Wordpress. My workaround for that though is to simply save the post as a draft, and when I’m ready to post it, I log into my Wordpress and add the extras, like tags, trackbacks, and SEO.

This little extra inconvenience is worth it though because it allows me to deliver my blog my way. I give my readers better news, and I get better search engine rankings.

Another feature I really like about this site is ScribeFire Quick Ads. This site offers you the highest paying ads from over 100 networks. Instead of having to hassle with ad rotators and stuff like that, you only need one little piece of code, and it’s fully customizable.

It also allows you to offer keywords keyed to ads, and unlike the Wordpress plugin I was using to do this, Alinks, it doesn’t interfere with any of the links I post. My readers go to the right place every time.

If you want to increase your blogging productivity, as well as make more money from your blog, I highly recommend this site.

Even if you use Internet Explorer, you still qualify for the ads program.

For those of you who are still using Internet Explorer, here’s the link to get more addons to increase your productivity:

For Firefox users, you’ll find plenty of tools here:
