It's really not your fault ... The Importance of erasing "pre-programmed" negativity

Happy Saturday everyone ..

First, let me qualify today's entry by stating clearly that I am NOT a psychiatrist or any type of mental health professional .. I'm just a person who's learned a few things about overcoming adversity in life & want to share how I did / do it ....

OK, end of "disclaimer" LOL ... Today I want to talk to you about mental garbage, and how to "take out the trash"

Many of us (myself included) were not raised by positive, inspirational people and whether you're aware of it or not, this negative upbringing has left "us" with what I call "mental battle scars" .. Battle scars that unknowingly / subconsciously stop us from believing in ourselves, and being the absolute best we can be!

These "battle scars" are like little time bombs and seem to detonate / explode at times in our lives when being positive / inspired are the most important things we need .... They (battle scars) are like pre-recorded tapes that dwell in our sub conscientious mind telling us "we aren't good enough" or "we aren't smart enough" or that "we will never amount to anything" ...  These "tapes" are extremely destructive and in many case's, prevent us from being the GREAT PEOPLE we were meant to be and are!

DON'T LISTEN TO THIS GARBAGE ANYMORE!

If you were raised in an environment where you weren't shown love, encouragement, and respect it's not your fault and you can change that if YOU choose to! The negative crap you were told by others in your life is THEIR CRAP NOT YOURS and you have the power to simply flush it if you choose to!

"We" know we aren't worthless, or stupid, etc, etc but yet, growing up we had people in our lives that told us we were & wanted us to believe we weren't capable of great things! I don't blame those negative people for the way they are ...odds are they were raised the same way & just didn't know any better. Truth be told, I feel sorry for them for having had to live their lives in the shadows of other's people's negativity / issues.

The GOOD NEWS is that YOU have the power to break that negative, self destructive cycle and declare yourself as whomever / whatever YOU want to be! It's not hard to do once you recognize that "stinking thinking"

Believe in yourself and when those old "you can't do it / aren't good enough" tapes start running in your mind, stop whatever you're doing, think about great you really are & turn the tapes off!

It's like taking out the trash ... when the can / bag gets full, you take it to the curb and let the garbage department take it away!

Of course I realize that some mental / emotional scars are deep and that my method may seem to "simple" for those deeper rooted problems but I truly believe that we as humans can stop at any point in our lives, re invent, and re program ourselves into more positive people and live the lives we have always dreamed possible!

It's simply a matter of choice ... if you choose to be negative, miserable, broke etc .. you will stay that way BUT, if you choose to change the way things are, become a more positive person and are willing to invest the time / effort required to make those changes, your life will do nothing but get better, and better ..

The choices are always ours folks ...This isn't a "dress rehearsal," it's real life and the clock is ticking off every second of it .. No "do overs"  We have to make every moment count and work everyday to become the people we want to or know in our hearts we can be!

I want everyone to be the best they can be and live the best lives they possibly can so....

Stay Positive - Stay Inspired - Stay Motivated and NEVER give up your dreams!

The Passing of time ........

Slightly over a week ago I lost my last living Uncle to cancer ...

This was / is a hard loss for me as my Uncle Sandy was the last of my families elders to pass ..

Out of 10 Aunts / Uncles on my Father's side and 5 on my Mother's, Uncle Sandy was my Mother's youngest Brother, a first (U.S born) generation Scotsman, and the last living life line I had to that amazing generation who raised, inspired, mentored, and guided me through the formative years of my life ...

The elders of my family were all WWII (World War II ) generation people who lived / worked by an entirely different set of values then we see today .. To them, honor, respect, honesty, integrity and family values were more then just words .. they were a way of life.

Growing up among theses amazing people instilled their strong core values in me, and I am eternally grateful to each and every one of them for their wisdom, guidance, and mentoring - I am humbled and honored to have been in their company. Truly God was smiling on me the day he placed me in the care of these wonderful people ... their influence helped shape me in to the man I am today.

Due to the passing of time, we are losing "the greatest generation" at an alarming rate .. If you know anyone (Mother, Father, Grandparents, etc) from this era, please spend time with them, learn from them.. show them the love, honor and respect they genuinely deserve and have earned! The wisdom you can / will gain from these extraordinary people is a priceless treasure to be held in sacred trust-

My Uncle Sandy was laid to rest today but he, and all those who've gone before him will live on in my heart and mind until the day comes when God calls me to join them ....

Rest in peace Uncle Sandy. Thank you for being a strong, positive influence in my life ..more importantly, thank you for being my friend. I love you and will never forget you .. 
God's Speed Uncle .. I will miss you forever -

THE POWER OF ONE ....No MORE EXCUSE'S -.NO MORE SELF PITY -. NO MORE VICTIM MENTALITY!

Good morning everyone!

It's another glorious morning in the rocky Mountains and I never cease to marvel at how blessed am I to live here!

I received a new Fiverr order from a young marketer today and over delivered to help him out ..

I'm a strong believer in under promise / over deliver  and giving my clients far more then they expected and / or paid for - In a way, it's like "paying it forward" ..Something else I'm a strong believer / support of!

Below is a transcript of our Fiverr conversation this morning .. I wanted to share it with all of you in the hopes that it helps motivate you, and keeps you inspired during the "darker" days of online marketing .. 

I've also included a couple of  "E.T" video's at the bottom & if Pastor Thomas doesn't get you inspired / thinking about your life & place in the World, check your pulse because you just might be dead! LOL
Stay Positive, Stay Inspired, Stay Motivated and NEVER give up your dreams!

NEVER lose hope! Online marketing is a very tough game in spite of what the "guru's" want you to believe!!!
I've been online since the 1990's and I've made a lot, lost a lot ...it's a numbers game - There are no overnight rich's or instant / push button miracles out here so be CAREFUL of ad's that try to sell you on the "do nothing but sit on your but and get rich" garbage!
Let me share the REAL "secrets" to being successful as an online marketer ...
  • Work Hard
  • Be consistent
  • Be honest
  • Treat people with the same respect you expect from them
  • Don't waste your time chasing prospects / team members that drag their feet! Keep moving FORWARD!
  • Promote products, services, systems that are legitimate and provide a GENUINE benefit to your clients
  • Again...be CONSISTENT! Post ads everyday regardless of how you're feeling about it -
  • DO NOT chase "rainbows" or waste a lot of m.o.ney on gimmicks, etc .. invest in yourself / your promotions
  • Be diligent and treat your online business like an offline business and / or job ... Always do your best!
- Stay positive
- Stay Inspired
- Stay Motivated!

The "Power of You"

It's another gorgeous morning in the Colorado Rocky Mountains and I'm so very thankful to be alive to enjoy the splendor of Nature's art work ....

Each and every day we face all types of challenges in life ... bills, health issues, mechanical failures, etc .. and often times we forget how valuable just the simple things in life truly are and how blessed we are to have them ...  A fresh cup of coffee, a warm bed to sleep in, a hot shower in the morning, a smile from your spouse, children, friends, a "good morning" tail wag from your dog, and that God (no offense to those who don't believe) saw fit to allow us another day on Earth!

I'm very grateful for these simple things for I know that there are so many others in the World going without

Everyday I wake up knowing that it's a "fresh canvass" and that as the artist, I can "paint" my day anyway I choose to .. I can make it a happy day or I can make it a miserable day ..It's up to me to decide what mindset I'm going to use for the day, and if it will be either a positive or negative one!

Of course there are events that occur in life which we as humans have no control over .. but again, we can accept these challenges as "tests" of our character or, we can choose to let them tear us down mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually .. Our choice once again -

The reason I'm discussing these things today is because it's our mindset that makes us who we are in life ... happy, depressed, tolerant, intolerant, wealthy, poor, successful or not ...

As children we are taught many things that often times "haunt" (or bless) us throughout our entire lives! Think about it ... were you the popular kid in school with many friends, accomplishments or were you the unpopular kid that stayed to themselves and didn't reach out to others?  Were your parents / family supportive of you or did they do nothing but program you for failure? These little subconscious "time bombs" carry on all through our teen / adult lives and can either push us to climb mountains or cripple us with doubts, and fear ...

The GREAT NEWS is that all of us have the power within ourselves to overcome these "time bombs" and achieve great things in our lives BUT we have to choose to both acknowledge and deal with them to do so ..

Great / successful people aren't born that way ... They BECOME that way through hard work, dedication, and a healthy, positive mindset!  

As online marketers we face these subconscious "time bombs" every day and I see so many succumb to them and fail without ever realizing that it wasn't the product, system or program they were involved with and  / or promoting ... it was themselves! Their failures / disappointments were programmed in to them many years ago & have been quietly and "secretly" determining the course of their lives for years!

There's a very successful marketer online name Anik Sengal who believes in the power of personal mindsets very strongly and has used his abilities to go from being bankrupt and broke to one of the most successful young entrepreneurs of our time! Anik doesn't make excuse's or blame anyone else for his failures .. he takes ownership of himself and use's it to empower himself as a businessman and help others achieve their financial goals .. He doesn't sell garbage or "dreams" .. he tells it like it is and creates solid online business's that WORK for everyone / anyone regardless of their backgrounds, knowledge or experience! Anik truly is one of the "good guys" out there in the cesspool of online marketing ...

If you're a struggling marketer (or a successful one) I'd like you to take a few minutes of your time to watch his short video on the power of mindset and listen to what he has to tell you .. It could possibly be the exact thing you need to hear to change how you think, and proceed in life from this point ...

You all know I won't / don't promote "junk" or fly by night "instant millionaire" guru crap so you can trust that what I'm introducing you to today is solid, and genuine ...

Take a few minutes and watch the video .. I'm confident you'll be glad you did!

The TRUE "Secrets" to being a SUCCESSFUL Online marketer Revealed ...

Good morning from beautiful Colorado everyone ....

Big Ed here again and today, I'm going to finally reveal the REAL "secrets" to being a successful online marketer and it won't cost you a cent!

First off ...let me tell you this -  There is no "magic" software, program, system, training blah, blah, blah that will make you successful online .. That's all hype and garbage designed to separate you from your hard earned money  ...

Think about it OK?  If I (or anyone else) genuinely possessed the "magic, secret" success formula / program, would I need to advertise or sell it? Of course not! I'd keep it for myself and continue being the most successful internet marketer EVER!

Sadly .... that "magic, secret" isn't real .. it's a sales tactic and a cheap one at that!

Here are the REAL SECRETS to Online (and life) Success! 

1. Work hard

2. Be dedicated and committed

3. Promote HONEST, ETHICAL programs that truly will provide a BENEFIT to ALL who participate!

4. Plan your days ... Create a routine and stick to it! Consistency is the "golden key" to being successful!

5. Be HONEST! Don't sell 1/2 truths, lies and scams! Establish an protect your reputation!

6. Know your product(s) inside and out! You CANNOT sell something you don't know anything about!

7. Communicate with your prospects and be responsive to their questions, concerns and issues!

8. Plan to invest your time, money and efforts in to your business! "FREE" just doesn't work online!

9. Stay true to yourself ... Stay Motivated, Positive and Inspired! People can smell a loser ..Don't be one!

10. Repeat the steps above everyday! Be consistent, Be diligent, Stay committed to your goals / dreams!

Only YOU can make YOUR dreams / goals become reality ... Never be afraid to seek out / ask for help from more experienced marketers & if those you ask don't / won't help you, find someone else who will! There are millions of good, solid, experienced marketers out here that are more than willing to help you succeed BUT you have to listen to them and follow their advice step by step, word for word until you're strong and experienced enough to go out on your own HOWEVER....never forget where you came from and / or become unwilling to share that with new people that ask you for help ... Helping others succeed is the greatest reward you'll ever experience and it also strengthens your presence / reputation as a legitimate, successful marketer! Reputation is everything ....Build it carefully and protect it with your life!

I've been online for many, many years now and have made (and lost) a tremendous amount of money but again, teaching others to do what I do has always been my greatest reward .. To me, nothing is more inspiring than watching someone who once struggled "get it" and turn their lives around! It's an awesome feeling!

Stop wasting your money on "instant this and that" programs .. Stop PAYING for training that's already FREE for the asking! Stop believing the liars, and so called "Guru" scammers .. They are dream weavers selling illusions! Invest in YOURSELF and your business instead!

If you need help, ask me ... Ill be happy to do what I can to get you over the humps and on to smooth, clear roads to success .. Mind you, I don't claim to be an "expert" but I've been out here a long time, and have learned a lot!

You can reach me at  BigEd80013@gmail.com  or Skype me at "edward.benko"

Please pay attention to what I've taught you today .. I will guarantee you that if you follow my recommendations and 10 steps above, you will be successful!

Until next time ... This is your man in the Mountains reminding you to ................

Stay Positive ... Stay Inspired ... Stay Motivated!

Learn ...
Plan ....
Become!

Don't Give Up Before the Miracles Happen!

Hello everyone ..

Big Ed here again coming to you from high in the Colorado Rocky Mountains ... It's another beautiful day in Colorado and as I look out over the majesty of the mountains, I realize how truly blessed my life is ...

Life is full of hardships, disappointments, dashed expectations, etc but these are balanced by our victories regardless of how large or small they may be ... it's all part of the "human experience" and basically living life on life's terms ...

We should never let our negatives destroy or erase our positives .. We need to find that delicate balance point and dance all over it :)

Today I'd like to share an email exchange I just had with one of my team members who is also a brand new marketer .. As you'll see in the email, he is experiencing the "reality check" of being an online marketer...The very same same "reality check" that cause's so many to quit and / or fail ....

I hope this helps any of you who are feeling the same ..

to me

I am frustrated because I haven't made a penny on anything.  I also had a problem with Paypal but it got fixed today (they had trouble getting my address verified and wouldn't let me add money to it).
-------------------------------------------------
Reply:
I understand your frustrations M  ... Online marketing is a "game" of patience and consistency .. Contrary to what all these so called, self professed "gurus" would have you believe, there is no such thing as "overnight" success and / or "automatic / auto-pilot" income out here .... 

Yes, you can make a lot of money in a much shorter time that working the "9 - 5" but it's not going to happen in your first week, month etc ... 

It does take time, patience, persistence and motivation  .... 

We all get frustrated / disappointed when our (usually way to high) expectations aren't fulfilled "instantly" ... We live in a society groomed on instant gratification and I dare say a sense of "entitlement" ...It seems the age old, tried and true ethic of hard work is fading in to memory ... I can't believe some of the people I meet online anymore!  They actually "expect" to be made big money for doing very little to nothing .. Sad and scary at the same time - 

Bottom line is that an online business is just like an offline business - You have to love what you're doing, have fun with it and work hard to build it ... I take what I do very seriously Michael but I'm also having a blast doing it!

Don't let your dashed expectations / failures stop you ... use them as learning tools and motivation to succeed! 

Stay away from the "guru" garbage like XXXX and XXXX ... These guys are the reincarnation of the original "flim flam men" of old .. Snake oil salesmen selling "bottled miracles" that are really nothing but hype -

I'm out here if you need help but you have to make a commitment to yourself, your business, and your future . Only you can make the "magic" happen for yourself  "M" and the fact that you're even trying tells me you've got what it takes to make it!  

You just have to believe ... I wanna be rich is a solid program that's made millions but it's a long term system.. It will take time to build a team under you but when you do, you're set!  Yes, IWBR requires big numbers of people to hit that $50k monthly income but the internet is a vast place and growing each and everyday! I've had days were I signed up alot of people, and no people but I keep showing up and doing what I do ...You can too - 

I'll mentor you if you like .. I can't / won't guarantee you'll be a millionaire tomorrow or next month but, I will teach and show you the right and wrong roads to take ...

Learn....
Grow....
Become! 

Stay Positive M! Stay Inspired, Stay Motivated and Never give up your dreams! 
Big Ed 

Below is the program "IWBR"  M and I were discussing .... It's a great "longer" term system that can / will provide a tremendous residual income ... Kinda like an online "401K" without the risk of it going bust :)
Watch the video and check it out ... it truly is an amazingly simple yet POWERFUL system!




Thanks again for listening ....

Your man in the Mountains, 

Big Ed
