Internet Marketing Made Simple by Rhodes Brothers,
Internet Marketing Mentorship – 10 Reasons People Aren’t Ready
John and I have often told our customers and students that finding an internet marketing mentor can drastically accelerate your business. Good mentors have unparalleled experience that is invaluable to young businesses. And, the sooner you get a mentor, the better. If you’re on the “right path” from the beginning.
As you’d probably expect, a lot of people come to John and I asking us for our help. Now, you should know that I consider myself a helpful person…and that I wish we could help everyone who wants to get out of their job and start a new life.
The problem is that we simply CAN’T help every single person that knocks on our door, even when they try to throw lots of money at us. Most people simply can’t handle being in the Internet Marketing business, and if we help the people that can’t handle the business, then it’s a gigantic waste of time.
Here are some of the most common reasons we reject many prospective students:
1.) Most people don’t have the persistence to make it in Internet Marketing.
Like it or not, Internet Marketing is a “real” business. Sure, you don’t have to report to a boss, but YOU ARE YOUR OWN BOSS. Who should you work harder for than yourself?
I see so many new marketers give up when they don’t start making money in the first 30 days. It takes PERSISTENCE. It’s a real business, but it’s way less risky…you don’t have $1,000s in upfront investment sitting on the line.
Keep your head up and KEEP GOING. Most people can’t do that.
2.) Most people can’t handle rejection and criticism.
When we mentor new clients in our internet marketing mentorship, we often have make a list of significant and immediate changes that need to be made to their websites. This outrages a lot of people who think they “know better” than we do.
In fact, we may tell you to scrap an entire project. It might be your dream project. It might be the one that you’re convinced will make you rich.
Could you handle being told that? Most people can’t.
3.) Most people refuse to think big.
I have a powerful theory: People who are already making decent money online (more than $1,000 per month) can almost ALWAYS expand their business a minimum of 10x, into the $10,000 per month range.
In these situations, the mentored student typically is NOT:
* Exploiting all of the traffic they have
* Exploiting all of the additional marketing opportunities they have
* Focusing all efforts on building the list
* Exploiting existing relationships
* Building future relationships
* Finding new sources of customers
A mentor can often help them bigger, but it often requires the student to step out of their comfort zone and do things “bigger and better.” A lot of them can’t do it.
4.) Most people want a handout.
This is the most frustrating thing to me. We have perfectly good potential mentorship students approach us and then just completely lose the opportunity when they ask us to do everything for them for free.
Yes, believe it or not, we get a lot of “help!” requests from Internet Marketers making over $1,000 per month who aren’t willing to re-invest their profits and want handouts.
Nothing turns us off faster than hearing someone ask us “can you do it for free?”
But it’s NOT for the reason you think – it’s not about the money. It’s because people like that are so uptight they aren’t willing to take risks and make investments to grow their business.
5.) Most people don’t “love” Internet Marketing or their business enough.
It shocks me how many people get lucky in this business. I’ve talked with people who own $1,000+ per month online businesses but don’t really care about the actual marketing. They don’t have the passion or love to grow their business.
Nothing is worse than someone who is just in it for the money. You gotta have that drive to help people and grow your business to a whole new level. The bigger your business, the more people you can help….and THEN the money will come (rushing in at a faster rate than you can process it.)
6.) Most people won’t stick to timelines.
While I often have a lot of lazy days, I’m very strict about meeting my deadlines for projects. When projects aren’t completed on the timelines that we establish, bad things happen:
* Sales slow down
* Traffic slows down
* Lists become stale
* SEO potential decreases
* Customers become bored
* Skills become rusty
You MUST set a schedule for yourself and stick to it. When you have timelines and that “drive” to get things done, money flows to you.
7.) Most people won’t follow instructions.
Argh. This is probably the most frustrating. We get a lot of people that seem to do EVERYTHING else right…but don’t follow our instructions. We tell them exactly what they need to grow their business, and then they decide to either “add their own twist” to our instructions, flat out refuse to follow them, or (in the worst cases) completely disappear.
8.) Most people are too desperate.
Desperate people do crazy things and often make poor decisions. If you’re stuck in a position where your internet marketing business isn’t making any money and your back is against the wall, you’re going to do desperate things.
The problem in Internet Marketing is that you’re going to LOSE a LOT of the time. Your offers and traffic won’t convert and you’ll get nothing. BUt, other times you can have HUGE wins.
If keeping a roof over your head is depending on the success of a product launch, you’re getting into very risky territory. You need a stable income so that you can work without being stressed and feverish.
9.) Most people are too scared.
Whether it’s being scared of success, scared to try new things, scared to think about of the box, scared to take risks or one of the other 1,000 things there are to be “scared” of, most people simply have too much FEAR to make it big in the Internet Marketing business.
10.) Most people won’t systemize their business.
This is BIG. You need to be working ON your business, not IN your business. Remember, you are the mastermind of your own business…you control everything. If you owned a McDonalds, wouldn’t you want to have everything systemized so that other people did all of the hard work for you? After all, the owner shouldn’t be making burgers all day.
One thing we try to do for all of our mentored students is provide a framework for systemizing some of the “basic” stuff in their internet marketing business…content updates, traffic generating articles, videos and websites, customer support, and more. It’s not just about outsourcing…it’s about having a concrete SYSTEM for you and your employees to follow and grow.
So, with all of that said…
Getting an Internet Marketing Mentor is a BAD IDEA if you meet any of the criteria above …we have to flat-out refuse to mentor a LOT of people. It makes me feel guilty (like I’m “playing God” with people’s lives and welfare) but I have to do what is best for everyone.
But, if your business is earning over $1,000 per month and you’re willing to take the RIGHT STEPS to maximize your business growth, we are accepting a very limited number of students. Filling out an application is required and should be considered only by serious marketers.
If you’re interested in receiving one-on-one business guidance from the Rhodes Brothers, you can apply at RhodesMentorship.com. (Note: If that page is currently offline it means we have reached our limit of students.)
Share and Enjoy;
To your success

A Letter to Your Soul for the New Year by Anita Pathik
A Letter to Your Soul for the New Year
This is a letter to your soul for the New Year here on planet earth, so if you don't mind, could you read it aloud so it can hear it in your own voice?
The world is changing rapidly and we, as the ushers of a new and evolving consciousness, are being prepared in some mighty and mysterious ways! A time of reflection, gratitude and re-creation, we face an incredible opportunity to remember our very reasons for existence and come back into alignment with higher truth.
As we enter into the final day of 2009, we must remain steady in what we know to be true and sacred. Evolution is usually met with resistance and the birthing process isn't always comfortable.
In spite of stark projections, I believe that we--and the world--are changing in the very ways we have prayed for. We are finding our voices, embracing our dreams, and cleaning up that which is not a match for the vibration we each wish to project into the creation of our lives.
Many of us have faced the challenges of loss and transition over the last year. Life has turned us upside down and sideways, yet always, always we land on our feet once again. In the illusion of aloneness, we find sanctuary in prayer, or music, or nature and realize both the humor and necessity of our human dance into divine forgetting.
The contrasts shed light on all that we have to be grateful for. As my husband always reminds me, "When we face the light, the shadows fall behind us." Yet, we can only face the light of today when we are willing to look forward and release anything that fetters us to the past.
What will we remember when we look back upon 2009? How will we acknowledge our own growth and abundance? Will we be able to appreciate the massive evidence of positive change? Will we appreciate our own willingness to heal our relationships and pasts and finally understand that regret just prevents us from being witness to the perfection of the present?
To know, without a doubt, that you are loved, supported and adored may be the greatest wish ever dreamed. The truth is that this is a given. You are. We are. And when you forget, this community will be here to remind you.
Many of us have lost "sight" of a vision for our lives that is absent of cultural conditioning and a list of "shoulds" that seem to define happiness, success and fulfillment. So much of what we think we want has been influenced by the various cultures and subcultures that we identify with or want to belong to.
Your current pictures of what you believe is possible, or what you believe you are worthy or capable of receiving into your life may unconsciously limit you from opening to an expanded picture of what the New Year wants to bring you.
This is why I am sharing this letter with you today. I originally began writing it to the folks who are getting ready to start the two week treasure mapping class, yet, as my fingers clicked on the keyboard, knew I needed to share it with the entire community.
I wish to share so much with you. I wish to share just a sense of what we are capable of when we let go of what we have been taught by the world. Love, healing, peace - it is all right at our fingertips. . .Ultimately it is simply about reconnecting with an inherent essence that exists within you and supports you in both the physical and non-physical realms.
You, as both creator and "the created," possess an innate power to manifest that which you desire and which is in alignment with your soul path. Most importantly, you are being called to bring yourself into wholeness and gratitude and heal that which prevents you from seeing yourself as a creative force in your life.
At the same time, as I am reminded of often, we must remember that although we are creators, we are not the Source of all of our good. Yes, we carry the energy and therefore are a physical manifestation of Source/God in the physical. But, the moment we attach to the idea that all of our good or abundance comes from ourselves or others, we dismiss the greater truth that abundance comes from a Source of infinite supply.
Ask of your Source and surrender to Divine Timing and an Order that is incomprehensible to most of whom walk with human eyes and hungering hearts.
Lack of clarity, unworthiness, fear, and lack consciousness blocks the communication of our soul's longing to be received clearly by our creative source.
Replayed stories of woundings and victimization remove the power we possess to facilitate change in our lives. Plus, the pattern of recalling a past experience (and all of the equations we create) is creative in and of itself!
Maybe the saying should go, as it is spoken, so it becomes.
Ancient wisdom shows us the power of prayer, intention, energy and sound to transform, heal and transcend.
Pray believing and the whole world changes. Surrender attachment and open to even greater possibilities - potentials you can't even begin to imagine.
Forgive the past and immediately open the flow to a wellspring of beauty that awaits your receiving. Release judgment and feel the healing power of compassion enter into your life.
Love what you once feared or hated and understand the blessing of being loved unconditionally in your own life. Give what you most desire. Share your talents and passions. Stop avoiding coming into contact with the immensity of your greatness because we need it - all of us.
About a dozen years ago, I began writing letters to my Source. What began as a "O.K. I'll humor myself and see what happens" activity has become, at minimum, a twice a year gift to myself and my creator.
My most memorable experience was writing about the man of my dreams and meeting him just 10 minutes later (yes, we've now been married for 11 years!). Even the house I described in the letter manifested itself into our lives just over a year later. Everything I wrote about came into my life, everything.
Right now is the perfect time to reflect and see yourself entering into a new and creative time in your life and this activity is a perfect way to call in the New Year.
It's simple, yet has some basic elements, and I'm encouraging you write two different letters. First, write a thank you letter for everything you have learned, received and all of the ways you have grown over the last year.
Even the most miserable of experiences warrant gratitude and when you seek the gifts, the treasures reveal themselves in transformative ways. Plus, it puts you in a conscious state of gratitude and that, my friend, is a highly creative and attractive state!
Then, dating your second letter one year from the day you write it, write a thank you letter to the Universe for all that you received and manifested (yes, in past tense) over this next year. Yes, in 2010!
Project yourself into the future and reflect upon 2010 as if it has already passed. Get elaborate and bold in what you are saying thank-you for and note any resistance that comes up because it usually indicates unworthiness or a block that you need to clear within yourself.
CLEAR BLOCKS TODAY!
