Self-Love alchemy!
Miracle Mind
Hi Reader,
The relationship you have with yourself is like a blueprint that sets the nature and quality of your relationship with others.
The secret to creating and attracting a successful loving relationship with another, whether you have found that 'other' yet or not, lies in loving yourself.
Self-Love will enhance an existing relationship; ironing out problems and taking it to the next level, or attract a healthy, optimum relationship at an appropriate time if you are single.
Furthermore, it will quench any 'need' for a relationship, and bring the deep content and enjoyment of time on your own and being single in a rewarding and empowered way.
For this reason, and with Valentine's up ahead, I have included my article on Self-Love at the link below, which also includes practical ways to love yourself:

The alchemical balm of Self-Love will positively transform all areas of your life and be reflected back to you in greater successes and the receiving of more gifts, blessings and abundance from the universe.
When it comes to love relationships, you may think about or list the qualities you want to show up in a partner, yet how many of those qualities do you show yourself?
Are you considerate, kind, loving, and generous to yourself, for example? Do you acknowledge your gifts, beauty, and attractiveness? Do you celebrate YOU and enjoy your own company? Are you intimate, honest, and respecting of yourself? Are you committed and faithful to you?
"Love is the great miracle cure. Loving ourselves works miracles in our lives." - Louise L. Hay
Your relationship with yourself will be mirrored in your relationships with others. What you cannot give to or receive from yourself, you will lack the ability to do so with another.
Your worth is a given. It is inherent by virtue that you exist. You are a spark of divinity, and an integral miraculous part of creation.
"Worth is a quality, not a quantity. You can neither add to nor diminish your worth. When you act or react in Reality to become more worthy, you will always fail. Stop trying to become worthy and start seeing your own worth."
- Lazaris
Some of the primary blocks that stand in the way of you loving yourself, are your beliefs - the beliefs you hold about yourself.
These are formed largely during childhood years, as well as at other key times in your life, and can be influenced and programmed by your parents, family, friends, media and society.
Limiting self-beliefs might include 'I'm not good enough', 'I'm bad', 'I'm wrong', 'I'm unlovable', 'I don't deserve', 'I'm unworthy', 'Nobody loves me', 'I am alone in the world', etc.
These faulty assumptions and negative self-concepts mar your self-image and the way you perceive and relate to yourself, others and the world.
To clear your limiting self-beliefs and experience your innate loveability and the innocent truth of your being, go to this link
Another major block to self-love is a lack of self-forgiveness. People may find it easy to let others off the hook but can be very hard on themselves.
To forgive yourself, check out Mark Myhre's the Magic of Self-Forgiveness

Much love and bright blessings,
Aine
P.S. One way I am loving myself is by enjoying some wonderful travels. In November I went on a dolphin holiday in the Bahamas, in December I took my Mum to Egypt to see the pyramids, and today I am off to Los Angeles for a spiritual seminar, and to enjoy some of the sun, sea and sights.
As a note, if you have been to L.A. or live there and have any tips on where to go, do let me know!
P.P.S. Loving yourself doesn't have to involve expense what-so-ever, of course, for loving yourself is not so much what you do, but how you think and feel about yourself.
Furthermore, there are ample no-cost or low-cost ways to be loving to yourself in practical ways, as explored in my Self-Love article at this link.
I remember a time in my life when I had virtually no money. I felt frustrated and limited in what I could do. Then, when in a thrift/charity shop one day, I noticed a book on the shelf titled "100 great things to do in London for free".
It was a nudge from the universe and demonstrated that fun could be had regardless of whether I had money, and if I used my imagination and adventurous spirit there were many ways I could enjoy myself.
Nature is my greatest love. Where ever you live, nature is always accessible to some degree, whether near to your home or a short travel away.

...You Can Do the Same by Nick Usborne
Alpha Freelancers Seek Out and Accept Only High-Value Engagements –
You Can Do the Same by Nick Usborne
Your next freelance copywriting client could be worth $1,000 to you. Or it could be worth $10,000 or more.
It’s up to you.
No, it isn’t the luck of the draw. No, it isn’t about the economy. No it isn’t about competition from other freelancers.
If you think the value of your next freelance assignment is determined by external factors, you’re just making excuses.
It is determined by you.
Alpha freelancers have a plan. They know where they are going. They have a goal and a set of waypoints to reach between where they are now, and where they want to get to.
Having a plan, and a goal in mind, means that every action they take is considered and deliberate.
They don’t accept assignments that happen to come along. They seek out assignments that will help them achieve their goals.
This kind of deliberate focus on the future has an important side-effect. Freelancers who plan ahead are a lot more business-like in their choice of work.
They sit in the driver’s seat of their business and are proactive.
They assess the value of each assignment. They deliberate over the value of certain kinds of clients.
The seek out value. They are value driven.
Here is what I mean:
* Alpha freelancers target high-value clients who have plenty of money to spend.
* Alpha freelancers look for high-value projects which are critical to the revenues of their clients.
* Alpha freelancers negotiate with their clients and drive up the value of individual assignments.
And so on.
This is the mark of truly successful freelancers. They focus on the growth of their business. They are deliberate in their choice of clients and projects. They seek to maximize the value of every engagement.
Successful freelancers don’t accept a new assignment simply because they are in the habit of saying yes to every new piece of work that comes their way. They know what they want , and they start work each day with a determination to get it.
The shift from being a regular freelancer to being an alpha freelancer is not something that happens overnight. It is a process that takes time.
However, there are certain strategies that any freelancer can borrow from the alpha toolbox and start using immediately.
In particular, there are four strategies you can use right now to maximize the money you make from every new assignment you work on.
It is these four strategies I will be sharing in tomorrow’s webinar sponsored by Wealthy Web Writer, “Four Strategies for Increasing the Money You Make from Every Project You Do.”
If you own my program, Copywriting 2.0: Your Complete Guide to Writing Web Copy that Converts you’ll get access to this webinar free, and will automatically receive instructions later today.
If you don’t yet own the program, I strongly recommend you order it today.
You’ll save $100 and automatically be registered for the webinar.

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
