Is This One Word Sabotaging How You Communicate?

January 15, 2015 by Paul 2 Comments

Nobel Prize winner George Bernard Shaw said that “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.”

One thing that I’ve been fascinated with for quite some time now is how people communicate and how communication relates to leadership, marketing and entrepreneurship.

Since I’m always looking for ways to continue to improve my understanding of communication, I recently started reading a book called “Sleight of Mouth” by Robert Dilts.

It’s a very fascinating book which primarily focuses on the topic of belief change through conversation.

The book is like an encyclopedia of language patterns and goes into a lot of depth in terms of how language and conversation relates to people’s beliefs.

It’s one of those books that you really have to study, over a period of time, and go back to over and over again as a reference for various things.

In this blog post I’m going to give an example of just ONE concept that I learned from this book that I found rather fascinating and enlightening.

The One Word That Sabotages What You’re Trying to Say

There is one word in the English language that is responsible for sabotaging a lot of conversations.

No, it is not some swear word that starts with the letter “f”.

It’s actually a much more common word, and it has probably done a lot more damage in terms of causing miscommunication in conversations than the “f” word ever did.

The word I’m referring to is the word “but”.

It’s very commonly used in conversations even though most people don’t understand how it affects the mind.

See, most of us – including myself – use the word “but” all the time, when trying to communicate something to someone, and we’re largely unaware of the actual effect that this word has on how our mind processes the specific words that it hears before and after this word.

Let me use an example to illustrate my point.

Imagine a parent having a conversation with a child about their report card.

Imagine a child coming home from school, with a report card showing a big improvement in their grades.

The child is excited because most of their grades have gone up, except for one subject – let’s say it’s science.

So the child comes home, shows the report card to their parents and the parents say something like this:

“Wow, this is great, you have improved so much in almost all of your subjects and we’re very proud of you and very happy that you’re taking school seriously now so we just want to say great job, but now you just have to get your science marks up.”

From the perspective of the parents, they believe that the key points that they communicated with their child are:

  • this is great
  • you have improved so much
  • we’re very proud of you
  • we’re very happy
  • we want to say great job
  • now you just have to get your science marks up

In other words, the parents believe that what they communicated to the child are these points listed above.

Do you know what the child’s mind – and especially their subconscious mind actually heard?

This is ALL that the mind actually processes and retains from that conversation:

“You just have to get your science marks up.”

That’s it!

That is ALL that the child thinks the parents said, five seconds after hearing what they said.

Why?

Because the way that the human brain processes information that surrounds the word “BUT” is essentially the word is a NULLIFIER of any information that precedes the word.

Meaning, anytime you say something to someone and in the middle of your sentence you use the word “BUT”, essentially EVERYTHING you said before that word is virtually erased from the mind and the ONLY thing that the mind remembers a few seconds later is anything that was said AFTER the word “BUT” was inserted into the sentence.

So for example if I say “Your outfit looks wonderful, but we have to hurry because we’re going to be late.”

ALL that the person hears is “We have to hurry because we’re going to be late.”

If I say “You played really well in today’s soccer game, but I know next time you’ll do even better.”

ALL that the person hears is “I know next time you’ll do even better.”

If I say “You were acting like an idiot, but I love you.”

ALL that the person hears is “I love you.”

Now I’m not saying that the EARS of the person don’t hear any words before the word “BUT”.

Of course the ears hear the words, and the mind actually processes every word in the sentence you’re saying to someone, it’s just that once the mind hears the word “BUT” it is programmed to essentially dismiss or significantly discount the value of the words spoken prior to the word “BUT” and to amplify and give more value and meaning to the words that are said AFTER the word “BUT” is spoken.

So in the example I gave earlier with the child and the report card, if this is how the parents are always communicating with their child, then chances are that this child will probably tend to feel judged and unsupported and unappreciated, and may even lash out and tell their parents that they never support them.

Of course the parents will be perplexed and confused as in their minds all they ever do is support the child with compliments, words of support and encouragement etc.

The challenge is that the parents don’t realize that it is their improper use of the word “BUT” in the middle of their sentences that is causing the child to feel unsupported!

The same mistake can be made when speaking to employees.

For example, an employer could be giving their employee a very favorable review and they could be trying to communicate to the person that they’re very happy with their performance overall, except for this one small issue of the employee being late a few times.

The employer might say something like “You’ve been doing a great job, and we really appreciate your efforts here at Smith and Associates, and we recognize that you’ve really stepped up your game and really improved a lot over the last few months but the only thing is that there were those few times that you came in late, so if you can just make sure you are punctual that will really help us out.”

Do you see how the word “but” injected into the middle of that sentence takes the focus away from the compliments in the beginning of the conversation and places the emphasis on everything AFTER the word “but” is spoken?

Go back and re-read that sentence and just see what sticks in your mind as you read it.  Do the compliments stated in the beginning jump out at you or the fact that the employee came in late a few times?

Now, let’s replace the word “but” with the word “even though” and re-read the same sentence again.

“You’ve been doing a great job, and we really appreciate your efforts here at Smith and Associates, and we recognize that you’ve really stepped up your game and really improved a lot over the last few months even though the only thing is that there were those few times that you came in late, so if you can just make sure you are punctual that will really help us out.”

Doesn’t that change everything just by changing out those two words?

Go back and look at some of the other examples above where I’ve used the word “BUT” in the sentence and replace that word with the words “even though” and you’ll see how drastically the meaning of the statement changes.

Now just think about how often we use the word “BUT” in our conversations with people, not realizing that the word causes this mental process to unfold in the minds of the person we’re speaking to.

This is just ONE tiny little example from the first chapter in this book.

There’s so much more that the author reveals about words, language, conversations and how we communicate.

I strongly recommend picking up a copy of this book if you’re looking to improve the way you communicate with people both verbally or in written form.

Why Multiple Streams of Income Are Better Than One

January 13, 2015 by Paul 1 Comment

For years now I’ve been a big believer in having multiple streams of synergized income.

Some people, such as some leaders in the network marketing industry, however, frown upon multiple streams of income and usually try to discourage their downline members from having them.

You’ll often hear leaders talking about the need to just focus on ONE thing and one thing only.

You’ll often hear them say things like “You have to focus on ONE thing 100% so that you get 100% out of it, instead of trying to split your focus in multiple directions.”

What they try to tell you is that focusing on something 100% is better than putting 50% focus into two things, or 25% focus into 4 things.

In this post I’m going to show you why that may not be the best advice for your business.

The Input / Output Formula

Most people look at a business like a box which you invest a certain amount of time, resources and energy into and they say that you’ll get out of it (OUTPUT) however much you put into it (INPUT).

They’ll say that if you put everything you’ve got into it, you’ll get a lot out of it.

We could simplify this into a formula that looks something like this:

TOTAL ENERGY YOU INPUT INTO BUSINESS (INPUT) = RESULTS YOU GET OUT OF BUSINESS (OUTPUT)

This may seem like a simple formula that makes logical sense, but it’s not entirely accurate.

It’s typically based on a simplified model that is similar to having an hourly job, where the hourly rate is set at a certain price, such as $20/hour, and then the only variable is how many hours you work.

For example if you work 10 hours (Input = 10 hours), then you’ll make $200 (Output = $200).

If you work twice as much, putting in 20 hours (Input = 20 hours), then you’ll make $400 (Output = $400).

Using this simplified model of the world, if you were to go out there and try working TWO equally paying jobs, putting in 5 hours into each job (Input = 10 hours), you’d make $200 (Output = $200).

Based on this model, it makes no sense to work 2 different jobs putting in 5 hours into each one, when you could just instead focus on ONE job and put 10 hours into it.

If BUSINESS worked like this, then yes it would make sense to just focus on doing ONE thing, and ONE thing only.

But in reality, business does NOT work this way, which is why multiple streams of synergized income is a much better strategy.

Let me explain.

The More Realistic Business Formula

When you’re building a business of any kind, you have to realize that YOU are always just one part of a more complex system.

Unlike a job system where your hourly rate is set and guaranteed to be a certain rate, in a business environment, the amount of OUTPUT (money made) you get from each hour of energy you put in (INPUT) can vary greatly over time.

There are MANY variables that affect the amount of OUTPUT you get per hour of INPUT from a business system.

Factor #1 – Seasonality

For example, if a kid was to setup a lemonade stand on the road, in the middle of winter, trying to sell lemonade to people… that kid could sit there all day long and not make a single sale.  Why?  Because it’s cold outside and nobody is thirsty.

Take that same kid with the same lemonade stand, and put them out there for the day on a hot sunny day in the middle of summer, and that kid might completely sell out of lemonade.

In this way, most businesses are at least somewhat seasonal as well.

For example, weight loss systems, personal trainers and gyms are busiest during January when everyone sets their New Year’s resolutions to lose weight.  But that same business might be completely dead during the summer time, when people don’t have weight loss on their minds or they just go outside to exercise.

So the season of the year could have an impact on the amount of OUTPUT you get from the amount of INPUT you put into a business.

Factor #2 – Product / Service Launches

Another thing that can affect results in your business is product or service launches.

For example, right now, Empower Network is right in the middle of a new product launch with it’s Kalatu blogging platform and new sales funnels.

This makes it a prime time to join Empower Network and to promote it.

When a company launches a new product or line of products and when there are a lot of cool and exciting things happening, you can build that business much faster and easier with the same amount of work.

But as an example, if I was part of a company that isn’t launching a new product for another 6 months, right now might not be the best time to put energy into promoting that company.

Sometimes the season of the year affects how easy it is to make money with a business.

Sometimes whether or not the company is rolling out a new product can affect how easy it is to make money with a business.

Factor #3 – Industry Changes

Sometimes temporary changes in government regulations, or some good or bad media publicity can affect how easy it is to make money with a business.

For example, back in Oct/Nov 2009, Google changed the entire affiliate marketing industry by all of a sudden banning over 100,000 Google AdWord’s accounts.

The entire affiliate marketing industry changed virtually overnight.

Eventually, within about 6-12 months the industry started to recover as people found other streams of traffic to utilize for their campaigns, but anyone without another income stream for their business had to scramble to not go bankrupt.

Factor #4 – Other People Inside Your Business

Another big thing that can affect the amount of OUTPUT (income etc.) you get from a business is the OTHER people who are involved in your business.

For example, anyone building a network marketing company will have a downline of team mates working with them.

Often times, your income is directly proportional to the results that THEY are producing in the business, and their results will depend on the amount of time and energy that THEY are willing to put in.

So, for example let’s say you were building a downline in a network marketing company part time and you had 5 people working with you and each of them was putting in 5 hours per week.

That means that your business was getting the benefit of 25 hours of INPUT (other people’s energy/time) every week.

And let’s say that you were putting in 5 hours / week yourself as well…so that’s 30 hours TOTAL.

Now, let’s say that you were to quit your job and focus 100% on just that ONE business, and now you are putting in 50 hours per week yourself, as well as the 25 hours that your team is putting in.

That’s a total of 75 hours of time invested in your business – 50 hours coming from you and 25 hours coming from your team.

But let me ask you this….

If you were previously putting in 5 hours / week into your business, and that was enough to get 5 other people to put in 5 hours each, that means YOUR input was 5 hours and the business was getting a total of 30 hours of energy put towards it by your team.

Now, if you focus 100% on your business and put in 50 hours into it, do you think that the other people in your business will also go from 5 hours/week to 50 hours per week?

In most cases they won’t.

Just because YOU commit 100% of your available time to a business, doesn’t mean everyone in your team will.

This means that just because you multiply YOUR efforts by 10 fold, it doesn’t mean your business income will go up by 10 fold.

In this example, YOUR INPUT went up by a factor of 10 TIMES, but the business as a whole is only getting about 3 TIMES the total input.

Does that make sense?

So, sometimes the limiting factor in a businesses growth is not just YOU and what YOU do, but also the other people involved.

Factor #5 – Your Customers

Another factor that can play a key role in how much money you can make from a business (OUTPUT) based on how much time/energy you put into it (INPUT) is your customers.

For example, if I invest 1 hour of my time per day to write valuable content for my Blog, and I email that out to my subscriber list, there’s a certain amount of value that is received by them each day.

But let’s say that I decided to focus 100% on my blog and tried writing 8 blog posts in 8 hours, every day and I sent THAT out to my subscribers every day.

Would I be offering 8 times the value for my subscribers?

Probably not, because my subscribers most likely will not have the time to consume 8 blog posts per day, every day.

So a LOT of that time would be wasted effort.

Other Factors

These are just a few of the factors that are always at play when working on an income stream or a business.

Because of this, the formula isn’t as simple as YOUR INPUT = BUSINESS OUTPUT.

You can’t just say, “You’re going to get out of the business, as much as you put into it.”

It would be easy if it worked that way, but the truth is that in most cases you are NOT the only factor in a business or an income stream.

Yes it is true that in a lot of cases you can be a BIG factor in the amount of income a business or an income stream can produce, but that’s not always the case.

Some businesses or income streams actually work better if you just invest 1-2 hours per day to them, and then work on something else.

Other businesses work better if you invest 4-6hours/day into them, and yes there are other businesses / income streams that only work when you focus on them full time.

Personally, what I like to do is to have a maximum of one income stream that requires a 4-8hours/day commitment and then to also have a few other income streams that only require a 5-10hour/week commitment to them.

Also, depending on some of the other factors above, such as for example seasonality and product/service releases I may also rotate how much time/energy I put into each income stream throughout the year.

What I love about income streams such as Blogging with Empower Network, is that you can decide on a certain number of hours per week that you want to invest into the business, and it doesn’t have to be a lot to start building a pretty respectable income stream.

With each Blog post you write, you’re launching another online “real estate property” as each blog post gets indexed by Google and starts to draw in more and more traffic into your business.

SO the cool thing with income streams like that is that even though I’m not working on them 24 hours a day, my BLOG is serving people and providing value with my blog posts 24 hours/day.   This provides an awesome amount of leverage, so that I don’t have to always be working on this income stream for it to generate income for me.

Are You One Step Away From Success?

January 12, 2015 by Paul 3 Comments

What if I told you that you were just one step away from success?

As someone who has both mentored and coached people and also as someone who has spent tens of thousands of dollars on coaching and mentoring myself, I have come to realize one important thing about success…

In most cases, people are just ONE STEP away from success.

The sad truth is that whenever we pursue success in some area of our lives, we often do 99% of all things right, but we get tripped up on 1% and never achieve the results we want.

Let me give an example that just happened to me today.

Last year I decided to get back into making money online more seriously and one of the things I wanted to get good at was generating leads with Facebook.

I bought several different courses, and went through hundreds of hours of training, setup, testing and tweaking of facebook ads, and various different funnels.

I managed to get to the point where I was starting to produce some consistent results, but there was one missing piece to my strategy.

Based on the conversion rates I was getting from my funnels, I needed to be able to get traffic from Facebook for less than $0.50/click at the most, and ideally more likely somewhere around $0.30-$0.40/click.

Unfortunately, no matter what I did, I was not able to get my clicks that low while still maintaining lead quality.

So what I did is I started looking for different businesses / funnels out there which could still be profitable even while paying $0.75-$1.00/click, like I was playing.

After several months of trial and error, and quite a bit of frustration, I decided to put my Facebook testing on hold as I just couldn’t get my costs down low enough for it to make sense for me to keep spending money with Facebook.

After you spend several thousand dollars in testing, and can’t get it to be profitable, it can get frustrating and it’s easy to give up.

I put my campaigns on hold, but I didn’t give up.

Instead I put out a “call” to the Universe to help me figure out what it is that I’m missing, while I focused on getting other things done.

About two weeks ago, the Universe responded to that “call” by having someone pop into my life who had figured out a way to get highly targeted Facebook traffic for around $0.05 per click, and in some cases even lower.

After verifying a few things, I asked the guy if he would be willing to coach / mentor me on how he is achieving these kinds of results, and he agreed to do it for just under $500.

Now, to most people, spending $500 for a single coaching/mentoring call may seem like a lot of money, but I have learned that in a lot of cases in life you can be SO CLOSE to success that all you need is just that one little extra piece of advice that will change everything…

… but if you’re too cheap to invest in getting that advice from someone who is producing the results that you want, then you can continue to struggle forever!

So this morning I had my coaching / mentoring call with this person, and he showed  me EXACTLY how he’s producing these results.

And you know what?

The crazy thing is that when I learned exactly what he is doing to produce those kinds of results, as compared to what I was doing before, I was already doing about 98% of what he is doing.

Like all I had to do is change about 1% – 2% of my strategy to do exactly what he was doing.

Our coaching call was only about 1 hour long, but honestly it could have easily been 5m – 10mins long to just teach me the one piece I was missing.

Now, the question is… would that 5m – 10mins be worth $500 to me?

ABSOLUTELY!

See, most people continue to struggle in life and in business, because they’re too cheap to invest in CONSULTING services from someone who knows what they’re doing, and who can come into the picture, analyze the situation and find that small 1% or 2% difference that is MISSING in your strategy.

This principle applies in virtually EVERY area of your life.

For example, let’s say that you’ve been wanting to lose weight and you’ve tried EVERY diet on the planet and you’ve failed over and over again, losing weight and gaining it all back etc.

Do you realize that there is probably just ONE small belief change, or strategy adjustment that you need to make and you could SUCCEED in your quest to lose weight?

Or if you’ve been trying to make money online, and nothing seems to be working for you.

The truth is that you could already be doing 98% – 99% of everything RIGHT, but you’re just missing that 1% or 2% that will change EVERYTHING for you.

So how do we find that missing 1% or 2%???

Well, there are really only three ways to do it.

Method #1 – The Long Way – Trial And Error

The most common way that people try to figure things out is by trial and error.

They essentially scour around the Internet, looking for free advice from people on forums, and facebook groups, trying to see if they can figure out what is the missing piece and why things aren’t working for them.

Often times they’ll even ask questions on forums, which are full of people who are ALSO struggling with the same issues, and they usually get bad advice or in the best case scenario good advice that is INCOMPLETE.

You can spend a LOT of wasted time and effort this way, and 99.999% of all people who try to figure things out with trial and error end up giving up.

Method #2 – The Short Way – Join a Community of Successful People

A much better way to figure out what is the missing 1% or 2% in your strategy is to become part of a community of like minded people, who are producing the results that you want.

For example, if you wanted to learn how to train to run a marathon, from scratch… yes you COULD just go outside and start running (ie. trial and error), but you probably wouldn’t do too well if you ran into any issues.

A much better option would be to join a running community, such as for example The Running Room, or a some sort of running club where maybe 10-20 people get together and train for a marathon.

Ideally, you’d want there to be at least a few people in the group who have already ran a marathon successfully, so that you could get some good advice.

After joining the group, you would simply pay attention to what YOU’RE doing and the results YOU’RE producing, and compare those to the results someone else who is successful is producing.

So for example, if you started running and you started getting shin-splits, you might ask someone in your group if they had that issue and how they solved it.

Then you would try whatever solution they found to work for them, and hopefully it would work for you as well.

This is the process of MODELING SUCCESS by being part of a community where at least some of the people are already producing the results you’re looking for.

As another example, for someone who wanted to make money online, they could join a community like the Empower Network, where there’s already a proven track record of people producing success.

Then, by going through the trainings, attending events, and getting around other people in the community, you can figure out what the missing 1% or 2% is in your strategy.

This is a MUCH faster and better way of achieving success than trial and error.

This method also has the benefit of usually not being too expensive either.

Method #3 – The Ultra Short Way – Hiring a Coach / Mentor / Consultant

The third and most effective method of figuring out what the missing 1% – 2% is in your strategy is to hire a coach / mentor or consultant.

With this method, you hire someone who has the ability to either coach you or mentor you to produce the results that you’re trying to produce and they work with you 1-on-1, or in a small group to help you achieve that result.

This is usually the most effective method IF you can find someone who can teach you to produce the results you’re looking to produce, AND if you can afford their services.

Personally I like to combine methods #2 and #3 together, where I try to get most of my training from groups and communities, because then the costs of training are much cheaper than trying to learn everything 1-on-1, but when I get stuck on something, I prefer to hire a coach/mentor/consultant to help me get “unstuck” like I did this morning.

For example, as a member of Empower Network I get access to all of their recorded group trainings which are awesome to learn everything you need to make money online in MOST cases.

Then in some cases where you get stuck on some very specific thing that’s not covered in the trainings provided, I then seek out the help of a 1-on-1 consultant.

How to Get Coaching and Mentoring From Me

If you’re looking for 1-on-1 coaching from me, you can get more information about my rates and such on my coaching page.

However, one of the benefits that I offer my Empower Network team-mates is that they get free coaching and mentoring from my in my private group for my team.

The cool thing about that is that in the majority of cases, in my group trainings I can usually figure out exactly what is the missing 1% – 2% in your success strategy online because chances are I already ran into it myself and overcame that obstacle or I hired a consultant to help me overcome it.

So one of the benefits that my team mates get is that they get the best of both Method #2 and Method #3, and if there is some really strange, rare issue that they’re struggling with that I can’t help them with, I usually know someone I can refer them to who can help them.

If you’ve been struggling in some area of your life, be it with your health, or relationships, or in your career or in your business, I strongly recommend finding a way to apply Methods #2 and #3 as much as you can.

Don’t waste your life in constant “trial and error” mode.  It may seem like a cheaper way than joining a community or getting help, but it will cost you WAY more in the long run.

Free Car From Blogging

January 11, 2015 by Paul 6 Comments

I started blogging way back in April 2006, but truth be told, for almost two years I didn’t make any money as a blogger.

Even though I had good intentions, and I worked hard, I didn’t really know what I was doing, and I was too cheap and too stubborn to invest in proper training and mentoring.

So I spent almost two years trying to figure everything out on my own, and didn’t really make any money with my blog, even though I wanted to.

Then at the end of 2007, after a lot of needless frustration, I decided that enough was enough.

I got some proper training and mentoring and in January 2008 I set a goal to start making money with my Blog.

At first it was slow, but by July 2008 I had made around $2,700 from my Blog in that month – working on it part-time.

Around the same time I decided to quit my corporate job and to pursue making money online from home on a full time basis, but instead of continuing to focus on growing my blog income I decided to focus primarily on affiliate marketing.

Some of my the people I met as a blogger were making a LOT of money doing affiliate marketing and I saw it as a faster way to replace my income than blogging, which I saw as a more longer-term way of building up an income.

I also explored many other income streams, ranging from starting niche blogs & websites, to running a software development company, to network marketing and of course affiliate marketing.

In the end, all of these different income streams paid off, and now allow me to make a comfortable 6-figure income working from home, but one of my primary passions throughout all this time that I always seem to go back to is blogging.

I enjoy blogging for so many reasons, but except for that brief period of time between January – August of 2008, I haven’t really focused my energy on making money from my blog.

Until now.

On January 1st of this year I decided that I really want to focus on building up an income as a blogger.

And one of my first goals that I want to hit is for my blog to be making at least enough money per month to pay for my new car.

I haven’t actually picked the exact car I want yet, but my goal is to get my blog generating at least a minimum of $500/month, which would most likely cover the car payment on my new car.

I may end up deciding to up that goal to $750-$900/month if I decide to get a more luxurious car, but I haven’t decided yet.

In either case, what I want to do is to build up this blog and just like I did back in the beginning of 2008, I want to stat posting regular blog income reports showing how much money I’m making from my blog each month.

I want to do this to both keep me accountable to my audience, but also to hopefully inspire others who enjoy blogging to make money with their blogs.

I know back in 2008, when I was doing monthly income reports, I got a lot of emails and comments from people who were inspired by my success and I think if I can build up an enough income with my blog to be able to pay for a car, that will inspire a lot of other people as well.

There are a lot of gurus out there who make HUGE amounts of money online, and I know that the six-figure and seven-figure incomes that some of these guys make per month are probably a lot more inspiring than the $500-$900 target I’m setting for myself – BUT – I also think there’s a lot of inspiration to be gained from making even $100 or $200 or $500 per month with a blog.

And since I hardly did any blogging at all from 2012 to 2014 as I was focused on other projects and income streams, and since the whole online world has changed pretty drastically since 2008, I’m pretty much starting from scratch here.

This month I’ll be working on putting together a tracking sheet for all my income streams that I generate money from as a blogger and I’ll probably have my first income report ready by the end of the month.

I’m not sure how long it will take me to get to the point where my blog income can pay for my new car, but it’s going to be fun to go on this journey. 🙂

If you’d like to learn how to make money from your blog as well, feel free to contact me for more info or watch this video, but just as a quick disclaimer, my results are not typical as I’m not a typical person, so check out my income disclaimer here if you’d like.
