"48 Days to the Work You Love":Are You Working at a Job You Hate?


Hello and good morning,
It seems that most people assume that you have to work at a job that you hate and then stay at that job (hopefully) for the next forty years.
It is a myth!

I recently came across Dan Miller again and his (48 Days To The Work You Love/No More Dreaded Mondays/Wisdom Meets Passion) book and I have to say, it has changed the way I view my work now.
I thought you might like to check out the site as well.
http://www.48days.com/store/?ap_id=OutoftheBox
Let me know what you think. It seems to have worked for tons of people because they share a ton of success stories on the site.
My story is a success story as well.
Several years ago I purchased, Dan Miller's book, 48 Days and the accompanying workbooks.
Wow, did my life get transformed!


Dan confirmed what I already knew~that I hated working for other people and forsaking my passion and niche to work for myself.

It wasn't an easy road and still isn't. Many are always trying to tell me I need to get a job, work a 40 hour week and keep hating life. Yuck! It's simply too late to go back now. 

Oh sure I've done a paper route here and there and done childcare to get through the lean times. But I'm still in essence working for myself not others.

Why do people do that? I think it's because all our lives and many moving past living on the land, farming, raising cattle, most have been told most of their lives to work for someone else, get benefits, and have security.

Also many are pressured to stay in the rut and don't take the risks needed to be your own person.

I encourage you to at least visit the site, read Dan's book, get the free e-book and have an open mind. 
If your ok with working for others go for it. Some actually do really love their jobs and accompanying stress. Some really thrive on the stress or intensity if you want to call it that. 
Free E-book

Again, let me know what you think. Read the book, get the free e-book and at the very least you will be all the better no matter what you decide.
Who knows maybe it's something you will pursue down the road.


Take care and look forward to hearing from you.
Cynthia

Losing Money With Your Online Marketing? Probably (Part 2)


This is a follow up on my last blog post:"Losing Money With Your Online Marketing? Probably"
I re-shared it below to refresh your memory or for those who haven't read it yet. Making it simple for ya.


Just a little side trip here. It seems I haven't found my target audience yet or some are really duh on social media and marketing. I'm not saying this to be rude or disrespectful at all.

It does seem like some roll their eyes or get that "glazed eyes look". LOL
Sort a like what the *** is this girl rambling about. I take comfort in knowing I can do a good thing to educate those who don't know and maybe give a glimpse for those who really don't plan to pursue it any further.
I think it's valuable others know what we marketers go through. 


I said all that to let you know I did get some answers from Amazon on how not to lose money and to target and sell to other places besides the U.S. if I should decided to pursue this now.

It requires I go to my affiliate settings, find the spot for my selected country of choice and be re-directed to sign up for each region I choose. 

So this week I hope to start trying this out and see how it goes. I do hope it works or if not I'll find out more. 
I'll definitely be following up here for sure.

Look forward to updating you and 
as I said last time. Wait!

To Your Success,



I have an affiliate account with Amazon among others. With most I don't experience geo-fragmentation and loss of sales because most are geared for world wide sales.
One that I am aware of now that is not geared for the world as a whole in spite of their plans for drone delivery in the future. Who knows it may change the problem or worsen it. Who knows!

I have been reading and going  over an article from Website Magazine, by Jesse Lakes. I am not trying to be narrow minded if you think maybe I'm not addressing all the issues.
I decided I need to focus on a solution or find one for namely, Amazon right now. As Jesse Lakes points out, " digging down into our analytics and understanding where our customers are coming from. If I do this, it's clear to see where I'm losing my sales and customers. Not good to leave this unattended to and not addressed. 

Anyway,  I wrote a note on the discussion forum asking for an answer and if I can change my settings or do I need to have multiple accounts to address the issue myself. I'm thinking I may need to do the later and have multiple accounts. Ugggh
I have enough accounts to manage but my idea of losing sales doesn't thrill me either.
Here's the short note I posted:

"Hello,
Is it possible to change settings on my account to sell to others beyond the U.S.?
It's been called to my attention that some wanting to order outside of U.S. get a message saying item not available in their area. I understand there are stores in different locations outside of U.s. and I need to overcome the loss of sales with the different locations.
I would like to change settings or know if need an additional account(s) to avoid the geo-fragmentation and loss of sales.
Thanks so much for any help."

I haven't received an answer yet but will update you when I do or if I don't.

Do you have any affiliate accounts you use or do you have others affiliate for you?
I'm considering in time adding affiliate programs of my own to increase my revenue but have enough in store at that the moment.

 I have shared below some information on Facebook Domination from my friend Jo Barnes. It's a for real course and it's the bomb. She's located in UK and is an example of working her business anywhere but not letting geo-fragmentation cause her to lose sales.


I like what Website magazine said,"the first step in fixing the problem is realizing there is one". So now onto fixing my problems with my Amazon affiliate program if it's fixable. I'll update you in near future of my success or failure.

Wait
