I have to say I do enjoy the opportunity to say something inspirational at the start of my newsletters. But this month I'm going to let a little video a dear friend sent me fire you up instead! I've watched it at least 20 times and the hairs are still standing up on the back of my neck!

Article Announcer

If you are serious about making money on the web, one of the vital ingredients you need is traffic.

One of the best ways I have personally found to generate quality, qualified internet traffic is through the writing and distribution of articles.

When I started writing articles, I went through the process of manually distributing them through the many different article directories around the web. This labourious process taught me one thing - there has got to be a better way!

That's when I came across Jason Potash's Article Announcer. Article Announcer is a complete end-to-end article training system that teaches everything you need to know about writing, publishing and promoting your articles to generate qualified traffic to your web site. It also contains software that will help you distribute your content into the various article databases across the web.

I can't recommend this incredible tool highly enough!

I met Gen for the first time around 4 months ago and oh boy did she leave an impression upon me.

On first meeting we had an amazing conversation that focused upon Gen's all consuming project to help bring love, compassion and inspiration to children orphaned by the Tsunami. After over six months of extensive fundraising, I am happy to say that she is now in actually in Sri Lanka making it happen.

Gen is an incredibly special person, doing extraordinary things in the world. She really inspires me and I get a feeling she just might inspire you too....read more

Part 5 - Featured Article - Are You Committed to Change?

Whether you like it or not, each of us are in a constant state of change. In fact, everything on the planet is in a constant state of change, from the smallest acorn to the biggest mountain range, constantly shifting with the unfolding of time.

Actively trying not to change or attempting to keep things the same as they've always been is one of the most futile battles that you can ever embark upon. It's a game you simply cannot win no matter how hard you try.

Given the fact that change is inevitable, the question you need to ask yourself is 'do I actually want to be an active participant in my own change process?' I mean, do you really want to have the ability to consciously influence the outcomes of your own life? Or would you prefer the alternative of being constantly shaped and influenced by your environment?

Below are three simple ideas that will help you take a much more active role in your own change process.

Prepare your mind for change.

It is very important that you provide your mind with very clear signals that a change process is about to commence. When you mind accepts that change is about to unfold for you it will be far less likely to try and resist or sabotage your desired advances.

One of the best ways to help you move forward is to actually prepare the ground before you begin to try to move forward. For example, if you would like to immerse yourself into a regular fitness program, one thing you might do is buy yourself a new pair of trainers. You haven't actually done any exercise yet, but you have sent a very strong signal to your brain that your training program is about to commence.

Make the first step as easy as possible.

When your mind is prepared and willing to accept change, you then have to start implementing the change. I think the best way to begin any personal change program is by making the first step as easy as possible.

Often we resist change because we have built it up in our minds to be much bigger task than it actually is. So rather than building an insurmountable wall of expectation around you, try and find ways to make the first step as easy to take as possible. Also try and make that first step as enjoyable as possible. To use our fitness example again, you might actually make your first run a walk and build the intensity from there.

If the first step on your new journey is an enjoyable one you are going to be far more inclined to want to take the next step.

Reinforce the change until it becomes a habit.

Once you have commenced the change process it is then critical to continually reinforce the change until it becomes a habit.

At some level, I believe that we are all creatures of habit so why not use this to your advantage and actually go about installing and reinforcing positive habits that will take you to where you want to go in life.

You know you can do it!

Deep down I think we all know that we have the potential for doing much bigger things than we are currently doing. And to get from where are to where you want to go you have to embark upon a change process.

If you prepare your mind for change, begin your journey by taking small but enjoyable steps and then reinforce the change until it becomes a habit, you'll be well on the way to transforming your life in the most remarkable way.
