Just some quick acknowledgements for companies & individuals who have made a significant impact in my life.

Individuals

Firstly, God, without whom I would probably still be cleaning toilets (I’m not joking!), and my life would still consist of internal battles and unresolved conflicts.

Next, my beautiful and lovely wife, Katharine, who regularly stops me jumping out of the airplance without my parachute (a foolish thing to try at the best of times). Her patience, kindness and smile are the sunshine to my soul.

And lastly, my wonderful parents, who have always encouraged & believed in me, even when I was too young to see the potential that was burning to be released.

There have been, and continue to be, many other influential people in my life, both friends and business associates, but to try & include them here would be too long a list, and then I know I’d forget someone…so, to anyone who knows me, has been a friend – thank you all for the contributions you have made, and continue to make, in my life.

Companies

The amazing team of dedicated entrepreneurs at CarbonCopy PRO are an outstanding example of dedication, high ethics, and leadership, who continue to inspire, encourage and foster the philanthropists of tomorrow.

Particular thanks go to Jay Kubassek, Aaron Parkinson, John Jackson and the many other leaders in what is probably one of the most incredible companies on the planet.

Special thanks too, go to Mike Koenigs from Traffic Geyser, who has not only created one of the most powerful web video & social media tools ever, but whose giving and serving example is an inspiration to me, of what a man can achieve, when his heart and mind are so finely aligned with his goals.

Lastly, as a courtesy to SXC.hu , I would like to thank them for the images I often use on this website. A very fine bunch of Hungarians, if I may say so

Dez.

What exactly does it mean to fight from victory? Put in another phrase, and it’s clearer: Fight from a position of victory.

Just to clarify, I’m talking about the context of your life or business goals (and hopefully both at the same time). The reason why this is so powerful is because it acknowledges the role of your mindset as being crucial in determining the outcome.

Not for a second am I saying that skill set isn’t important, it’s rather that the results that you get from your skill set are 100% determined by your mindset.

How you think and what you think about will have an undeniably profound effect on the eventual outcome of your efforts. You may think that this is completely obvious. If that’s the case, you should congratulate yourself on being in the small 3% of people who understand the paramount importance of mindset in determining outcome.

How do you get to the place where you know you have the right attitudes and patterns of thought required for success?

Here’s a simple test: Look in the mirror. Stare at yourself for about 30 seconds, and after the 30 seconds is up, say, out loud "I know I’ve got what it takes", three times. Make a note of how you react to this.

Do you feel like a fraud, or feel derision or cynicism for doing such a strange thing? (Or even, perhaps foolishness).

Or, do you feel scared, perhaps realizing that you just don’t believe what you’ve just said. Or maybe you want to believe it, but you’re not sure how to get there.

The reason why mindset is so fundamental to outcome is because our thoughts and attitudes do shape the resulting actions more than anything else.

So, how do you get the mindset required for success in your life or business? Here are some things I’ve learned and am applying in my business:

1. Find your core why – why do you want what you are straining for? Find what motivates you more than anything else to push through, and use your imagination (include all 5 senses if possible) to see that outcome in your mind, as if it is already real.
2. Take measurable action every day to help you work towards that core why. If it’s in business, that should at least translate into income-producing activity. In your personal life, it could mean setting aside quality time to spend with the significant person or people around you.
3. Mastermind with others – find a small group of others who are wanting success in their lives, and give one another permission to help, evaluate and train each other.
4. Spend time in your own personal development – read, watch or listen to great leaders who share their story…let what they say impact you and  write it down.
5. Commit yourself to leadership.

It’s funny how things go around & come around; back in January 2009 I’d just started learning how to make money online with affiliate marketing, and I was excited about the possibilities of using the internet to earn money whilst I sleep, so that I could focus more time on my family.

I have to be very honest – I struggled. The biggest struggle was staying focused enough on one thing – there were, and now even more so, so many opportunities out there to earn a decent income, it was hard to settle on one thing.

I took a high end course on affiliate marketing, which to this day still contains a huge amount of valuable information, even though Google has changed it’s colors more times than a chameleon in the time between then and now.

Which brings me to now. You see, I’m still doing affiliate marketing, but I’m doing it incidentally, rather than focusing on it full time. At the moment, I’ve got other irons in the fire which can also generate income, but whatever business method I choose on the internet, I know that the best business model is one in which I do something once, and get paid over and over again thereafter.

In one sense, I’ve come full circle in terms of the methods I’m using to generate income online. As a business owner of a marketing company myself, I know how challenging it can be to generate consistent cashflow throught the financial year, and affiliate marketing provides me with a very helpful residual income to help pay for my ongoing business expenses.

So, how does affiliate marketing work? The nearest analogy I have, is when an actor or author gains ongoing royalties, or commissions based on work that they have created.

The methods used to generate income are surprisingly easy to do (and don’t require as much in the way of technical or computer skills as you might think).

The reason for the post title is that I’ve just stumbled across two young guys – who were teenagers when they made their first 6 figures online (in less than a year). They were both struggling undergrads (in fact, it seems like one was a college drop-out).

If you want to find out more about their story, click on the information below.

And in case you’re wondering, the links in this article are affiliate links for their product. If you’re new to the idea of affiliate marketing as a viable business model, and you’re considering ways to earn new income streams using the internet, without hesitation I would encourage you to consider becoming an affiliate as a way of getting started.

There is no recession online: two teenagers gain 6 figures within 8 months is a post from: Dez Futak's Internet Marketing 101 Blog.
