How To Find the Right Domain For Your Business

A Domain Name is a name given to your website that gives you an identity on the web and is the name by which your site will be identified.   Every website has its own domain name, there will never be 2 with the same name unlike an offline business or franchise where the brand name IS the business.

For example, compare a Domain Name to an offline Franchise Name such as McDonalds;  if this was an online business and you were buying into McDonalds you would look for a Domain Name, preferably with the McDonalds brand but the Top Level Domain i.e. www.McDonalds.com will not be available as it will be used by the overall business owner.  So, what you would do in effect is to look for perhaps McDonaldsburgers.com or McDonaldsRealBeef.com.

I made 2 short videos that I hope explains it a bit further:

The Law of Attraction

I remember when I first came into Internet Marketing and lots of people talking about The Law of Attraction, The Secret and I really had no idea what it was all about.

However, I bowed to their wisdom and started looking into it to see what was so great about it and everything just seemed to make so much sense.  I bought a book called ‘The Secret’ and that is when I started looking at life in a much more positive light.

I have lost count now of the many ‘coincidences’ whereby really good things have happened to me.  This has happened both personally and within my business.  I have more patience now because I just ‘know things will happen’ and they will be as I want them to be.

Here’s 2 short clips that I really enjoy and hope you do too.

Does Your Desktop Need a Makeover?

I made this short video after months of frustration and never getting round to having a clear out of my desktop.

I had so much stuff on there it was hard trying to find the ‘blue’ screen of the windows default.  It was covered in folders, things I put on the desktop meaning to do and just never got around to doing them…..blah blah you know how it is.

So if you’re anything like that, see if this short video helps you.

Oh and by the way, my desktop still looks exactly like that now.  It’s amazing that you only need to do this once and it will stick with you.

Have a great day

Find Out How to Succeed at Being Yourself

I have to say right out the gate that this article is not based on any theory you may find in books, nor is it based on an academic’s teachings.  No siree, this article is written by someone who is renowned for her straight talking and honest approach to everything and everyone.  The author is also a graduate from that awesome University of Life having taken a few hard knocks along the rocky road.

How to succeed at being yourself is 100% down to you and what choices you decide to make in any given situation at any given time.

When we come into this world we come in naked, that is both physically and mentally and we are 100% being ourselves.  Yes the theorists amongst us would say there are many things we are genetically pre-disposed to.  For example, they would say that if one or both our parents had addictions then our chances of having that same addictive aspect to our personality is greater.  But forget all that because how you succeed at being yourself is down to one thing and one thing only – the choices you make.

When we are small children, choices are made for us by our parents and other family members.  As our personalities start to develop we quickly get a sense of what is right and what is wrong because everyone around us lets us know.  That is when external influences start to take effect and stop us being ourselves.  As we get that bit older and start kindergarten or school, peer pressure also starts to chip away at who we really are.  By the time we reach elementary stage, only about 30% of who we really are is on public display.  The remainder is blocked by filters and we can have a multitude of personas dependant on the situation.  We are only successful at being ourselves when we feel safe to do so.  Ask yourself when that time is for you.  Is it in the car in the morning driving to work when ‘you sing like no-one can hear you’, is it when you escape to that ‘space’ you have in the home?

We all choose how to respond when someone says something we don’t like, we choose to behave in a specific way in a variety of situations.  If your automatic response to a comment you did not like is to raise your voice and start shouting then just for that nano second ask yourself “what are my chances of dying here if I were to just smile and say nothing?”  If the answer to that is anything between 90-100% then by all means raise your voice……..

Now you may quickly respond to that by saying “if I were to just smile and walk away then that is not me being me”.  Well let me ask you something “how much fun is it being you?  Are you happy in that angry world?  What are you like when there is no-one around you, what sort of thoughts do you have, what dreams do you want to make happen, when was the last time you told yourself that you are an OK sort of person?  Was there ever a time when you allowed you to be just you and told yourself that it really does not matter what others may think about me.  When others judge us, their thoughts are mapped out by their own life experiences and there is little or nothing we can do to change them so why bother?

How would you like to be someone that people having nothing bad to say about?  The type of person that is warm, friendly and never sees anyone as a threat.

You can be that person, the one who all those years ago wanted to be a certain way before others told you it was not right.  Perhaps you love to make others laugh but somewhere along the way, you didn’t have the normal receptive audience and you lost confidence.  That was their issue and not yours, just go out now and find an audience that does appreciate your humour.  Maybe you wanted to be something in your career but many people told you it was impossible so you just gave up.  That says everything about them and nothing about you so ignore them.  If you have the belief, you can do it, I believe in you so just go and do it!  Make it happen, start making some small choices to change and you’re half way there.

You can be honest with people so long as you never deliberately hurt their feelings.   Before you speak, always ask yourself “how would I like to hear that something doesn’t look right on me, my essay is not quite up to scratch?” etc.

I would just like to finish up by asking you to ask yourself is “how successful am I at truly being MYSELF?”  If I started as a baby being 100% ME, what percentage is left today?  You can get back there; you just have to make different choices than perhaps you are at the moment.

What Should I Do With My Life?

What should I do with my life?  How many times have you heard that phrase come out of the lips of friends, family members or even out of your own mouth.

It is most definitely something I would have said many times and what is interesting about the actual wording of the phrase is the word ‘DO’ rather than ‘WANT’.  This implies to me that the person saying it is actually ready to do something to change how they are, what they are doing and make changes for the better.

How many times have you heard people say “I would love to do something different” and the remainder of the sentence hanging in the air and not uttered probably goes something like this “but I really can’t be bothered” or “but it’s all too difficult”.

I believe that the main reason for not changing how we are is not because of any external influences but because of what is inside us.  It’s that wee inner voice that sometimes tells us “don’t try it, people will laugh at you” or “you’ll never be able to do that” or “I know lots of people that tried to do that and it didn’t work”.  It’s really easy to talk ourselves out of doing something and oh so hard to acknowledge the many strengths we all have inside of us.

If I could just share with you some of the questions and soul searching I did before I changed my life for the better:

Could I do something I love and earn at the same time? Absolutely – so I sought out those who do both, studied what they did and learned from them.

Listened to my inner voice – don’t we all have this, that niggling wee voice that tells us we can’t do something, lots of people have tried and failed and we will also.  Don’t listen to it!  Make a list of your inspirations and keep adding to it.  As you come across an obstacle that might stop you getting there, quickly jot down a way you can get over that obstacle then cross it right off because it’s no longer an obstacle right?

Beware of procrastinating, talking yourself out of an idea or finding reasons why something wouldn’t work

Keep that goal alive - put a picture of where you want to be – it may be living in that big house, driving that fast car or just enjoying luxury holidays with loved ones.  Have a big picture of that dream stuck on the refrigerator, in the car, by your bedside – in fact everywhere around the house.

Do everything with a purpose – that purpose being that goal you are aiming for.  If you find yourself doing time consuming things that are not in pursuit of that goal then question your motives for doing them.

Finally, Never Ever Give Up On Your Dream

What Should I Do With My Life?  This is a $10 Million question – My advice would be the very same advice I gave myself – do what I love to do, it helps and doesn’t hurt anyone else, allows me freedom to make my own decisions on how I live my life and is relatively stress free.  Want a piece of that?
