• You’re eager to achieve bigger results in your business without working ten times as hard or trading time for dollars.
• You’re passionate about helping people profitably, but not sure what to do next.

• You’re bored of mediocrity and ready for new challenges.
• You’re thinking of someone close to you who fits any of the above descriptions (they’ll thank you forever for getting them this book!)

This little book offers you three big gifts:

• Mindset shifting stories,
• A step-by-step guide how to turn your passion into a thriving business faster and with greater ease, and
• Inspiration to get the heck out of your own way, stop procrastinating and start succeeding!

Chances are you are exploring reading this book because you want to build a more successful business but something is holding you back. For most people it’s these three challenges:

One, you are a technician trying to build a business. It doesn’t make you a bad person, but it just has you stuck thinking too small, being busy doing the wrong things and not getting the results you want. Take Action Revise Later will help you understand how to think like an entrepreneur and what you really need to be focusing on to make progress faster.

Two, you don’t know what to do next. After all, you didn’t go to school to be a business owner and you didn’t take any business building classes, right? So this book will be your practical guide, showing you, step-by-step, which specific actions to take next.

And three, you aren’t implementing fast enough what you already know. Let’s face it, most of us are excellent procrastinators. Our parents and schools have made sure that we “take the time to think about it.” This is really where Take Action Revise Later will impact you the most. Giving you practical tools and the inspiration to get going now!

But how can an ex high-school teacher possibly know how to grow a business? That’s what I asked myself when I first met Bob. We were speaking at the same conference and when I heard his presentation I instantly realized we have two things in common: we love to teach and we teach in a way that inspires big thinking but simplifies big ideas into immediately usable action steps.

Later, when Bob came to me as a client and shared what he was doing that, in only 18 months, allowed him to retire from his job and make more money he ever could have dreamt of making as a high school teacher, I immediately asked him, “Why aren’t you teaching THIS?” You see, Bob has discovered, used, and perfected a system, that – when followed – will allow anyone to turn their passion, skills, know-how, or hobby into an online business capable of making them wealthy! And he made it simple too!

Fortunately for you, he has taken my advice and has now outlined his simple system in this book. Plus he wrapped it in personal stories and metaphors that will break down your old ways of thinking about business and marketing, instill a new, more effective entrepreneurial mindset, and inspire you to think bigger and act faster.

If you want to make your dream of building a successful business come true, and you are looking for an action guide that will give you step-by-step instructions and the proverbial “kick in the pants” at the same time, this book is for you.

I’m excited to announce the release date for my first book, Take Action! Revise Later – October 10, 2010.

This auspicious date has been chosen for several reasons, despite the fact that most book marketers would tell you to never release a product on a Sunday!

October 10 is a “triple date”!

One of the last three remaining triple dates of the century, 10/10/10  and I’m not going to wait until November 11 of next year or December 12 in two more years to get this book out to you!

October 10 is a “binary day”!

I like to call any date with all 1s and 0s in it as a binary day. There are a few this year, and next year, but not again until the next century. There’s just something cool about that, even though I’m sure you find it incredibly geeky!

October 10 decimal equivalent is 42!

When you write the date 101010, the decimal equivalent of this binary number is 42 – which is an iconic number in the world of geeks (and remember geek is sexy!).

This number (42) is the answer to the ultimate question in Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy. I won’t attempt to convince you that Take Action! Revise Later is as seminal a work as this classic; but I do hope it helps you a lot more in your business than Hitchhiker’s!

But perhaps the most important reason for the date of TARL’s release as 10/10/10 is it’s easy for you to remember! So make sure you’re online to get your copy on Sunday and be among the first to benefit from the lessons, observations, and strategies shared in this book.

I’m looking forward to helping you get out of your own way using this book as your simple guide to business success!

p.s. As always, your comments are welcome below!

Every productivity expert will give you their opinion about how to get more things done in the same amount of time.

They’ll show you how to make to do lists, categorize them with 1, 2, 3, or A, B, C and try to get you to eliminate tasks off your list.

These methods can be helpful for some, but if it’s not working for you take a look at mind maps.

Mind maps are simply visual representations of ideas. You’ve probably used them before to organize your thoughts on a business project, or back in school when you were thinking about writing a research paper.

There are plenty of mind mapping software programs out there, from free to expensive. All have their own merits, but my favorite one to use is Freemind.

This won the medal for me because it’s simple, uses a hierarchical structure, exports maps as images, PDFs, and text outlines.

Let me give you an example of my (pretty typical) to-do list from this weekend.

• Mow the lawn
• Write an email to subscribers/clients
• Twitter a bit
• Email
• Work on sales page for Discover Freemind
• Create survey for IM Success Workshop
• Send inner circle members note about Sunday night call
• Watch Olympics
• Straighten Office
• Friend requests on Facebook
• Check fantasy baseball roster
• Post lesson on Freemind to blog

Now if I were writing this on a piece of paper as they come to me, this is the order they came out.

Traditionally, I would then either rewrite my list, or designate each task as a 1, 2, or 3.

But with Freemind, I can actually move these things around based on categories I determine.

So for example, a regular to-do list map would look like this…

And I would then set up categories of Home, Office, Just for Fun, and put each task into a category.

(Alternatively, I could use things like morning, afternoon, evening)

Just this step alone of categorizing and shifting tasks into slots helps me tremendously. And if I make subcategories to group things by similar processes (i.e., social networking, online/offline work, etc.), I can make sure I am efficient, too.

Another cool feature within Freemind is when I’m focusing on a task, I can make the other tasks “disappear” so I am not distracted. That little circle next to a category means they’re still there. Just tucked away.

I use this same process whether it’s a daily agenda, a workshop, a product launch, or teleseminar – anything that benefits from strategic planning is a perfect fit for mindmaps.

One final tip – color helps me in my organization. So I will often use Freemind’s formatting tools to help my brain make sense of the map even more. So the map above turns into this…

By the way, another reason I like Freemind is it’s free! You can get it as part of the membership at IM Success Library, and choose to learn from my video tutorials (optional) to learn how to use the software today.

I hope this lesson helps you rescue at least an hour of productive time every day like it has for me and the others I’ve introduced it to!

p.s. Are you using mindmaps and/or Freemind? Share your results below with a comment!

p.p.s. Sometimes the simplest things can have huge impact in multiple areas. Use mindmaps for yourself, but show it to teachers and students you know – it’s a life saver for lesson planning, organizing homework with extracurriculars, or even developing long range plans for college!

As a former teacher, I like acronyms so bear with me here as I share with you 5 areas in which internet marketing can really “fire up” your business.

I call it, “Lighting Your LAMPS.”

The first is internet marketing gives you incredible Leverage. You can do something once and you can be paid for it over and over and over again. You can use technology to reach thousands of people in this same amount of time it would take you to reach one.

You also can use internet marketing as a matter of Attraction. You can bring people towards you instead of you chasing them down. This is incredible for you to really live the life that you are look for and impact people in massively important ways.

You also are able to harness the internet marketing power of Messaging. So that you can control what people know about you, what people can benefit from your message, what they get to know from your expertise.

You also have an incredible opportunity for Profitability. Unlike brick and mortar businesses and other types of commerce in the world that we live in today, internet marketing is highly profitable. That’s because it’s not as expensive as traditional forms of marketing but you can get your message out to as many people as possible and you can again attract those people that are really most targeted to work with you.

Finally internet marketing allows you a high level of Systemization. You don’t have to recreate the wheel all the time and you don’t have to spend endless hours doing things that have very poor results. Instead you can plug into a good system. You can use it again and again and again and the scalability factor of internet marketing can really help you out.

Are your LAMPS well lit, or are you out of fuel?

I’ve built the IM Success Library to help coach and teach you to greater success. Get inside today!

p.s. Have I already helped you with 1 or more of the LAMPS areas above? Post a comment below…

Are you struggling to find clients for your VA business? Do you wish you knew a few more marketable skills to help you stand out from the competition?

I love teaching entrepreneurs how to market their own businesses online. And the IM Success Library’s on-demand courses and live coaching sessions are here to give business owners all the strategies and skills they need to succeed online.

However, many entrepreneurs would rather have a virtual assistant do most of the work for them instead. That’s where you come in.

If you are a Virtual Assistant, you’ll get a lot out of this site. First and foremost, I can teach you how to market your VA business through teleseminars, social networking, information products and affiliate marketing.

But you can also learn new skills that you don’t currently have, but your potential clients want and will pay you more for.

Let me explain this more…

For example, you may already know how to work with your clients’ Aweber account, but do you know how to monetize their list building for them? Or create e-newsletters based on their blog? The Discover Autoresponders course (Module 5) will show you how.

Maybe you want to learn how to run a teleseminar for your client, and help them turn their recording into multiple products. The Teleseminar Formula course will show you how.

Or perhaps you know how to set up a simple shopping cart, but not an affiliate program. Discover Butterfly Marketing will show you how.

Recently, I was a guest on Meredith Eisenberg’s radio show talking about these types of skills – in particular Butterfly Marketing.

You can listen to the interview below.

Create your account at the IM Success Library now, and let me help you grow your virtual assistant business!

p.s. With the skills you will learn in the IM Success Library, you should be able to raise your VA fees by 25-50% or more.

p.p.s. For more VA business building tips, be sure to connect with Meredith.

I’m posting this video inside the members area as an orientation to the site. But I thought I’d post it here on the blog as well so that you can see it even if you aren’t a member yet.
