7 Critical Distinctions Between A Producer And A Procrastinator

7 Critical Distinctions Between A Producer And A Procrastinator
by Zamri Nanyan

Oftentimes, we fall into both a producer and a procrastinator category in our lives. What we need to know is that being a procrastinator is not something good and once we realize the state we're in, we have to stand back up and become a producer again. That will make sure that the results we're getting are aligned with the vision we're creating.

I had a chance to listen to a one-hour teleseminar by Johnny Wimbrey recently and managed to jot down a few points for the readers to benefit. The topic matched nicely with the points that we're discussing here.

What are the 7 critical distinctions between a producer and a procrastinator?

Here are a few points Johnny Wimbrey talked about.

1. A Producer Is A Winner But A Procrastinator Is A Whiner.

Producers have a winning mindset. They eat, sleep and breathe winning possibility. These are the people who surround themselves around other winners. They allow themselves to be mentored by other successful people, and they become students for life. If there are any problems, they know that they themselves are bigger than the problems they face.

Procrastinators have stinking thinking and always look at things in a negative perspective. They focus on personal and external limitations. When there is a problem, they whine, cry and question everything in life. They don't seek advice and are not interested to be mentored by other successful people.

2. A Producer Is Responsive But A Procrastinator Is Reactive.

Response is the root of responsibility. This is the quality of a producer. Being responsive means that producers control circumstances and they think before taking action.

Procrastinators, on the other hand, react to circumstances. They act without thought. When something happens, they can become panic and lose control. This leads to more bad circumstances in life.

3. A Producer IS Optimistic But A Procrastinator Is Pessimistic.

Producers address challenges in life effectively. They understand that there will be hard time and although nobody likes hard time in life, producers are always prepared to face circumstances. They see through the clouds and believe that there is always sunshine.

Procrastinators run from challenges. In fact, they don't like facing them. They are fearful and when challenges arise, they feel stressed as if they couldn't charge through hell in life.

4. A Producer Takes Risk But A Procrastinator Makes Wishes.

Risk takers create moment of possibility through invested time, money and energy in their dreams. Producers know that they have to be 'sacrificial' and give something up so that they can get up in life. They don't know what tomorrow will bring but they are ready to face the unknown.

Procrastinators hope for the moment of possibility. They wish that their dreams come true and become content and comfortable. They fear the unknown and are not ready to step out of their comfort zone. In the end, they stay where they are with the unfulfilled wishes.

5. A Producer Has Visions But A Procrastinator Has Only Illusions.

Producers have faith in their decisions. They see obstacle and see through it. They know that they will get their goals with their actions. That's why producers are firm believers in goal setting. They start their journey now and don't delay.

Procrastinators want their results based on sight, meaning that they have to see the results first before taking action. That is why there's always lots of reasons why they do not get started at something. What they do is only inventing obstacle that does not exist in the first place.

6. A Producer Has Preparation But A Procrastinator Has Improvision.

Producers are always prepared and they inspect what they expect. For example, if they have speaking engagement, they will make sure that everything like research on topic, target audience and appropriate content is taken care of. And, they will make sure that what they expect to deliver will satisfy the audience. Then, they stay on plan.

Procrastinators don't expect to be successful. Whatever happens will happen and they keep on hoping that their wishes come true. They move by emotion and after information.

7. A Producer Execute But A Procrastinator Makes Excuses In Life.

Producers have an attitude that they MUST be successful. They will implement and execute the right principals to reach their goals. In order for them to be successful, they will participate in anything that will lead them to their goals. Producers also have a sense of urgency in what they do and they begin with an end in mind.

Procrastinators, however, just have justifications. They will justify for any reasons why they fail in life. They WANT to be successful but don't think that they MUST be successful. It leads them to postpone their action because of their dead-end mind says so.

To summarize, I have to admit that these 7 critical distinctions between a producer and a procrastinator are a reminder for you and me. We will fall in one of these two categories in life, but we have to realize it quickly and align ourselves with the producer mindset.

Let me close by what Johnny Wimbrey said in his teleseminar.

"I WANT You To Be Successful But I MUST Be Successful".

Let's all have this quote embedded in our mind at all time.

Turn Your Internet Business Expenses Into Profit

Turn Your Internet Business Expenses Into Profit
by Zamri Nanyan

What will you imagine if I tell you to rent a shop and run a business?

Any type of business.

You might probably picture a sum of money flying out of your bank account and that money will never come back to you.

You will then have to work hard to sell your products to cover the rent of your shop before you can cover the cost of your products and eventually make profit.

A lot of hard work, right?

What if I tell you to rent a shop and with a little twist, your rent will be free and you can actually make money from your rent regardless of any business you're running.

Sounds impossible, doesn't it?

At least that might be impossible in the offline business but on the internet, everything is possible.

I will tell you how.

The first clue is that anyone running a business on the Internet will have to spend money on basic necessities.

If you want people to find you on the Internet, you must have a website with a proper business domain name. A free website is a big NO as it doesn't project an image of your professionalism.

What type of profitable business is still hosting their website on free geocities.com or tripod.com account?

So, this is your first important investment for your online business - a domain name and a webhosting service.

Build a website on your chosen webhost and give a proper domain name like yourbusinessname.com.

When people want to find you online, simply refer them to your domain name and they can read more information about you and your business on your website.

Easy, right?

The second clue is what I call the awesome power of recurring affiliate commissions.

If you've been long enough on the internet, you can't escape the word 'affiliates' or 'partners'. It simply means that you can represent a company as an affiliate and when you refer this company to other clients or customers, the company is going to pay you a certain commission based on the sales.

It gets more exciting as many companies don't only send commissions based on the first sales. If the company charges recurring fees to their customers, you might get commissions based on your referrals' recurring fees too.

You refer one paying customer and you get paid for as long as this customer subscribes to the service provided by the company.

Refer another customer and your commission is doubled.

Keep referring people to this company and you'll get a passive recurring income every month.

Isn't it great?

And, the last clue is just simply combining the first clue and the second one.

You will spend your money on webhosting and domain name. This is a MUST if you want to make an online present.

No exception.

So, why don't you find a webhosting company that pays you back when you refer others to their service?

Since you are using the service from the company, you know a lot more about their operations, the features, the fees and many more. Recommending to others will be a breeze.

It's like telling your friends about the recent blockbuster movie you've seen lately.

You're going to use the webhosting service for your business anyway. So, in actuality, it doesn't really matter if you refer others or not, but if you do, not only your referral commissions can cover your business expense, but it will also make you an extra profit.

Compare that to subscribing a webhosting service that doesn't have an affiliate program.

The advantages are so obvious, right?

In short, find a good webhosting company that has an affiliate program. You'll be glad to add an extra income apart from the core business that you'll be running.

Finding a webhosting company that sends recurring referral commissions shouldn't be a problem as there are many webhosting companies that provide affiliate program to their customers. You just have to be their client to participate.

A simple quick search on Google with keywords 'affiliate program' and 'webhosting' will list some companies that provide this type of service. A few of them are SiteBuildIt, Host4Profit and Kiosk.

Choose the one that suits your need.

Now, tell this concept to the offline store owners and see the amazement in their eyes.

Then, you will know that doing an internet business is definitely amazing.

One-Time-Offer Script for FREE!

What is a one-time-offer?

One time offer is a strategy that's used to motivate subscribers or customers to take immediate action after they subscribe or buy products from you.

Normally, you would upsell a special package that's not available elsewhere on this one-time-offer salespage.

If your subscribers or customers don't want to grab the offer, they'll never see that page anymore, and lose the special deal from you.

So, it's either they take action now or pass the offer forever.

You might be well aware of One-Time-Offer strategy that's been used quite widely these past few months.

You can buy this script or you can get it free at the link below, but as you expect... what's the use of One-Time-Offer script if the developer himself is not using it? So, expect to get a one-time-offer from this website once you request the free script.

http://simurl.com/one-time-offer

By the way, Butterfly Marketing script has this feature too, plus a lot more. I haven't been promoting this script because I've never tried it.

But, if you are interested in the Butterfly Marketing script and can't afford $1,500 USD for this investment, check out Butterfly Marketing Manuscript. Once you bought the manuscript, you'll get an upsell for Butterfly Marketing script at a discount.

And, no... I don't know how long Mike Filsaime is offering the script for less.

Your Worst Fear... Death? or ... Public Speaking?

Could your worst fear be death?

Or...

Could it be Public Speaking?

I remember someone making a statement that Public Speaking is most feared even death comes second.

I don't know if that is true or if that's a fact but I know that if I asked 20 ordinary people to volunteer to talk in front of 100 strangers, almost none will raise their hands.

So, what do you do to overcome your fear of public speaking?

You learn! Then, practice!

In case you think that public speaking is not an important skill for you, think again.

Public Speaking is one of the skills that can catapult your business to a higher level and boost your self-esteem.

Public Speaking skill is not necessarily applied only when you have to talk in front
of 10 or 100 strangers. You can use this skill to meet new people, network with successful millionaires and make lots and lots of friends.

Of course, it can make you tons of money as well.

That's a value that you can't put on the lessons that you'll learn from the resource that I'm about to tell you.

"Mastering Public Speaking" is a new ebook that talks about improving your public speaking skills to the next level. Once I saw the ebook in the market, I grabbed it immediately because Public Speaking is one area that I want to master and improve on.

Here's the good news.

I'm allowed to resell this ebook and I want to make it special for you.

Go to http://simurl.com/publicspeaking

On top of getting an awesome product...

2. Others will receive only "Impact Web Audio" software until the promotion is over, which I don't plan to keep it long. "Impact Web Audio" is a software that allows you to play your audio message on your website.

All you have to do is send me your receipt of payment by filling up a webform at http://zamrinanyan.com/contact.

So, take advantage now and invest at:

Patric Chan's Power Profit Affiliate Workshop

Most of you know that I've spent the whole Saturday and half of Sunday at Power Profit Affiliate Workshop.

I didn't take many photos but have this one for you. I think I look like putting some weight... or do I really look like that? :)

This workshop was the first conducted by Patric Chan on the subject of Affiliate Marketing. I asked him if he was going to organize a few more like this in the future and he said 'yes'.

This is good news for you...

If you plan to build your online business or grow the existing ones by using affiliate marketing business models, then save your money now and grab a seat when the registration is open. :)

I'll let you know when the time comes.

If you are not able to attend it, don't worry. He recorded the whole workshop and will sell the DVD version when it's ready.

No one will miss it.

Now, here is a few tips that I brought back from the workshop. Take it seriously... they are the tips that come from a super affiliate himself.

1. Have a proper mindset before you do anything. Affiliate marketing is a business although you are not selling your own products.

2. Market research is very important. Find the topic that you like to do first, followed by the topic that you know. If you can't find any, generate your ideas by looking at newspaper, magazines, household surrounding, eBay.com and many more places.

3. Which affiliate business models you want to follow? Strategize your business. What should you do after you run Pay-per-Click campaign? How to keep your prospects glued to your offer? What's next?

4. Different affiliate marketing business models require different strategies in marketing. You can apply the fast result strategies, but that will only apply if you follow the right business model. The other might take a long route but it can be more stable than the other.

5. What's the next step after your first affiliate marketing website is successful? You want to take your business to the next level, don't you? How about creating a product?

As you can see, I've listed a few tips only on the surface.

There is a lot of information that I've got on the workbook that it's simply impossible for me to write them all here.

All I can say is that you can still get a lot of tips from Patric even if you've done affiliate marketing for quite some time. I mean, I have done affiliate marketing for over 3 years now and my Power Profit Affiliate Marketing Workshop workbook is still full of new information.

Experience it yourself.

Check out the Power Profit Affiliate Workshop webpage from time to time to see if there's a second workshop available.

Get Rich Quick Silly Online Investment

Get Rich Quick Silly Online Investment
by Zamri Nanyan

To tell you the truth, I'm outrageously mad with
what I've seen on the local tv news these past few days.

Being involved in the intenet and network marketing
industry for quite some time now, this phenomenon more
or less affects my business as people will be more
skeptical to the 'real' online business.

I knew that this would be a hot debate but I did not
expect it to come so soon.

A month ago, a friend sent me an email.

It goes something like this:

Join my side business. Checkout this website
______.

Wow! An investment with a 20% return in a month and
a 300% return in less than a year.

It definitely is a 'good to be true' program and definitely
not worth to check out any further. Immediately, I
know it is a bomb to be exploded and a real-life scam
in action.

Politely, I respond saying that he has to be careful
in this type of investment and seek advice from people
who are more experienced in internet business (this
is a 'so-called' internet investment scheme).

He sends a reply saying that he has done his homework
and is sure that this business is legitimate.

A quick search on the Internet leads me to a lot of
confusions and contradicting 'facts' about the company
and their operation.

I conclude that it is a scam.

A week later, my friend sends me another email, but
this time, there is a screen capture of his 20% return
on the money he has invested. There's also a screen
capture of other members getting high returns from
their backoffice website.

I say that this is a serious issue and since my advice
is not being heard, I hope my friend won't be so blind
to see what's coming ahead.

Sure enough... a few days ago, there has been the
talk of the nation (not the talk of the town anymore)
that there was 2 individuals who were now under
investigation of internet scam and fraud.

These two individuals are related to this investment
company and four others that they have operated before.

The sad part is that they've 'robbed' more than
USD$200 million (I repeat USD$200 million) doing these
illegal operations, and a few of their accomplices are
being investigated as well.

I've not heard anything from my friend yet, but let's
put that aside and be rational about what we should be
doing if you really want to build a business or get into
any investment schemes.

1. Ask yourself if this business or online investment
makes sense. The second richest man in the world probably
makes 20% out of his stocks, mutual funds and other
investments. If you are talking about a 20% return in
a month, you will easily replace the richest man in
the world in no time. In 5 years, you can even buy a
country with this return on investment. Does this make
sense?

2. In a business or investment, you make money from
selling products or exchange goods. In other words,
there is products or services involved. Where does the
money come from is important. If the money comes from
a certain percentage of the investments made by other
participants, that's a clear sign of 'stay away or you'll
get burned'. What happens if there is no more participants?
The whole scheme will collapse and, this is a classic
example of Ponzi scheme or pyramid.

3. A company that manage mutual funds or other types
of investments should have a license to operate their
business. If you are not sure about this, you need
to question them until you are satisfied with the
answers. If there is doubts, seek advice from people
who know. Yes, it can blind-fold you and drift you
away from seeing the actual facts when all you see
from the compay is so good that you think you'd miss
the whole world if you missed the opportunity to join.
Don't be distracted and get all the facts you need. It
is your hard-earned money that you're throwing away if
you ignore the truths.

There are many more questions that you might want to
ask yourself when you are presented with an investment
opportunity. If it involves an online investment, you
have to be more extra cautious.

A college student can build a website that looks like
a professionally run corporate website. A conman can
buy a cheap $50 software and create a pyramid scheme.
Another person can write a compelling enough sales
letter and a fake profile of the company. That's enough
to make a perfect scam of the year.

I don't mean to scare you with all what's written here.
I just want you to be aware of the con artists out there
in the cyberworld.

There's always lots of money to be made online through other
proper channels and a "Get Rich Quick Silly Online Investment"
is not one of them.

Stay miles and miles away from them and be wiser in
investing your own money.
