Grab A Combination Of All My Best Stuff...

I understand you're probably in a rush, so let me get right to the point...

Over the past 6-12 months, I've made several of my products available for resell or private labeling, which allows you to take them and sell them as your own.

I've limited the number of packages I've made available (100, 200, etc.) each time, but over the course of time, never completely sold out.

That being said, I still have 37 16 copies (out of the original 100) of The Action Machine Reseller Package available, along with some of my other private label, reseller products which also never sold out.

As a result, I've decided to combine the best of it all and make it available one last time.

Here's what I've put together for you...

1. You Get: The Action Machine V3 Reseller Package 

 

What Does The Reseller Package Include:

• A world-class productivity software application (both Windows and Mac versions)
• A fully-illustrated user's guide for answering virtually all of your customers' questions
• A simple and customizable sales and download page, so you can be up-and-running in no time!
• 2 high-resolution Clarity Maps that can be given away as bonuses (see below for more info)
• Rights to sell your version for as much as you want - with you keeping all the profits
• Rights to package your reseller version of the software with another product
• Rights to include your reseller version as part of a membership site
• A brandable/customizable version of the Action Unleashed! ebook
• My personal email address for any inquiries you may have

What Can You Do With It?

• Sell individual copies for any price you want, and keep all the profits - I've been successfully selling The Action Machine on the Web for several years at $47.00. With your own reseller version, you can do the same, if you want. Charge less, charge more, charge a lot more - you decide. No matter what price you set, you get to keep every penny you make! Think of what selling a measly 100 - 200 copies at $47.00, or even $97.00 would do for your bottom-line.
• Create an ebook or video series about helping people be more productive, include it with the course - Talk about a 1-2 punch! Combining a course about productivity (in the form of an ebook or even something including videos) with a unique piece of software such as The Action Machine/Generator creates a blockbuster product that stands out in the crowd.
• Include it in a membership site - Great membership sites are built around useful content and valuable tools. Being productive is a universal skill that members of virtually any membership site could benefit from. Give your members one of the best and most intuitive tools for helping them take action and see results!

GetLifeMaps,com (formally PushMaps.com) is live!

A New Direction!

Last year, I launched a project that I was really excited about - a site named PushMaps.com.

The idea behind the project was to create infographics related to life strategies and sell them.

Quickly into the project, I discovered several issues:

1. Charging didn't work - Infographics (at least the ones I wanted to create) are meant to be free!
2. It wasn't sustainable - My design approach for the infographics needed more unity and simplicity - I was creating each one as a totally unique design, which wasn't going to be sustainable, for me - especially considering I have over 500 map ideas. :-)
3. The map ideas needed restructured - As a result of Point #2, all the content for my map ideas needed restructuring, and that needed to be ironed out before any new maps where created... and it was a BIG job!
4. 'PushMaps' didn't work - I didn't like the name PushMaps after all.
5. TypePad didn't work - My blogging service, TypePad, just wasn't fullfilling my needs for this project.

As a result of all this, I decided to scrap the whole thing, and start from scratch (mostly). 

That's why I'm now announcing the launch of LifeMaps (at www.getlifemaps.com).

What's new/different?

1. The maps are free!
2. There are now Themes - You're going to see, as I release more maps, that there are themes for the maps. Themes include mindsets, tools, strategies, projects, systems, and several more. When I create a map, it will be designed with a theme in mind, which will bring more unity and simplicity to the whole project
3. There's a new name - The maps are now known as LifeMaps - I like this better, and I hope you do, too! :-)
4. I went with Blogger - I've decided to use Blogger for the new site for a couple reasons. It's simple (there aren't 1000's of plug-ins that I could be tempted to use to mess up its simplicity), it integrates really well with YouTube, Google Drive, and Google+, and it automatically generates a mobile site.

In addition, IF the new site takes off like I expect it to, I will be devoting a considerable amount of my time and resources to it - which includes doing things such as:

• Creating new maps and videos
• Creating custom maps for others (let me know if you're interested)
• Hosting Google+ Hangouts for Q&A's
• Accepting guest posts
• Maintaining a regular newsletter
• And more...

Check out the new site (www.getlifemaps.com)

Download some free maps, watch some videos,
learn something, and share your feedback! 

Finally, next week you're going to be hearing from me several times with some other stuff I hope you'll find valuable.

'A Whole Lot Of Awesome' Digest: March 2013

I know it's a bit late (I've taken some time off from my business lately), but here's a bunch of stuff I posted and collected for the month of February.

Some Quick Updates...

• What am I working on these days? As I mentioned last month, I'm currently working on developing a single, unified approach to sharing the maps, tools, and other products I create. There's a lot of experimenting and trial and error that goes into this process for me (it's a bit slow going), but my vision for what I have in mind is getting clearer each day, and I believe that I'm close to having something nailed down. You know me, when I have something to share, you'll see it here! :-)
•  The Copywriter's Brain - I had hoped to make the Copywriter's Brain site/product for sale in February, but had to reschedule that. So if you're interested in owning the whole thing (product, site, etc.) check out the site to see what it's all about, and keep your eyes open for news about it soon.
• The Action Machine Reseller Offer - If you'd like to sell the Action Machine as a reseller, there are still some slots still open.

1 Idea x 30 Days x Life = Mind-blowing Results

Below is a video I recently stumbled across a by a well-known Googler named Matt Cutts.

In the video, Matt discusses a simple method he uses to implement positive changes in his life.

Take a moment to watch the video, then I'll see you below...

So, what do you think of this idea for making sustainable changes in life?

I think it's awesome!

The simplicity of it is genius...

Instead of spending time, week after week, month after month, simple reading a collecting ideas and strategies that you'll use 'someday' (if ever), why not use Matt's approach to improving your life instead:

• Pick a positive mindset, idea, or habit you want to implement - From not eating sugar, to using peoples names, or even writing down something you're grateful for every day (the list is endless really - just think of a small change that could have a positive impact on your life if you did it for 30 days)  
• Spend the next 30 days focused and committed to doing it - On an index card, write down a short summary of your challenge and review it every day. Focus on completing only one challenge a month, and don't go to bed until you've completed it every day! 
• At the end of 30 days, do it again - Come up with a different challange, and begin the process of change all over again.

Just imagine: If you repeat this process every month, and you stick to it, in 5 years you will have completed 60 challenges!

Do you think you'd be in a different/better place after implementing 60 positive changes?

What do you think would be the results if you did it the rest of your life? 

I'd say...mind-blowing! :-)

So, instead of just reading and bookmarking great ideas and strategies you discover, here's a concrete way to integrate them into your life!

In addition, I'm looking into using Google+ Hangouts to hold some live training sessions/discussions, right here on this blog!

Some Quick Updates...

• What am I working on these days? In response to what I've learned over the past few years about human potential and how to unlock it, as well as my desire to deliver unique, practical, and valuable tools for tapping into it (systems, software, graphics/posters) I'm in the process of developing a simple system that encompasses everything - something that will allow me to share my systems and tools in a complete, unified way... the ultimate system, if you will. Look for more info in the months ahead

Eliminate One Of The Biggest Obstacles To Taking Action!

Want to take more action and get more done?

Of course you do! ;)

Here's a simple principle to remember and put into practice:

The more clear you are about what you need to do, especially the very next action, the more likely you will do it.

Lack of clarity (not really knowing what to do next) creates resistance to taking action, which can often be strong enough to prevent you from acting altogether.

You've likely experienced this many times in you're life when you knew you needed to take action on something, but you weren't really clear about what the action needed to be, so you put it off... again, again, and again. 

The reason for the resistance and putting off is related to 'fear of the unknown' - your brain resists doing anything when it's not clear about what needs done or the result that will come from doing.

It really is that simple!

It a nutshell: The clearer your outcomes (big and small) and the clearer you are about the steps for achieving them, the greater motivation you (and your brain) will have for taking action!

So what are some ways to get clear about what you need to do?

You know what they are, but maybe you never understood how and why they worked, and why they're essential if you want to get things done in life!

• Get crystal clear about your outcomes - When you have a project or goal you want to achieve, write down WHY you want to achieve it and what it looks like (include details, but keep it simple).  
• Get crystal clear about action steps - Brainstorm for 3-5 minutes to create a simple list of action steps that need to be completed to finish the project or achieve the goal. Include as much detail with each action step as possible ('Brainstorm 10-15 attention-grabbing titles for my book that highlight a benefit the reader will get from reading it')

Now, you're ready to do it!

NOTE: Use this simple approach for any project or goal that involves more that 3 steps to complete or achieve - you'll be amazed at your increased level of action. The key is to keep it simple, even if that means scratching out ideas and steps on an index card that you'll later throw away.

In addition to getting clear about specific projects and goals, you want to develop the mindset of a clear thinker, you do this by adopting habits that promote it:

• Review - Regularly review information (tips, strategies, ideas) that have value to you and what you do in your life and business
• Plan and prepare - Learn to plan and prepare (create a budget) - be proactive in life, not reactive
• Pay attention - Pay attention to what you eat, how and where you spend your time, and how and where you spend your money
• Give value to what's small - Pay attention to details in life - the little words, actions, feelings, sensations, and other things that often get dismissed as being unimportant

Clear outcomes, clear action steps, and clear thinking WILL help you get things done! 

 

Creating A Super-System For Getting Things Done

Most of us have tasks in our life that we do repeatedly. Tasks like:

• Paying our bills
• Writing a blog post
• Setting goals for the year
• Starting a new project in our business
• And so on...

For these kinds of tasks, I've always recommended spending a little time creating and documenting (getting it on paper or in a digital document) a simple step-by-step process/system that can be reviewed each time the task needs done again, so it can be completed efficiently and effectively.

When you break it down, to complete a task, you really only need two basic elements:

• A Process - A system for completing the task (think: Step 1, Step 2, and so on)
• Knowledge - Tips, strategies, and resources that are relevant and useful while you're completing the task 

For the longest time, I used to separate the two - I had one place where I documented my step-by-step process, and another place where I collected tips and strategies related to it.

For example: When it came to setting goals, I had one place where I wrote down the steps for doing it, and another place where I kept tips and strategies related to goal-setting.

Then I had a 'genius' revelation (more like a Duh! moment), and realized that the best time to tap into the knowledge, tips, and strategies I had collected about goal setting was when I was actually going through my goal-setting process!

Makes sense, right?!?

Thus, the 'super-system' concept was born.

Here's how it works, and how to create your own...

1. Create a new document - Either a Word document, Google Document, or mind map
2. Set up the super-system framework - Include these sections:
   1. Title - Give the document a heading (such as Goal Setting).
   2. Resources - Set up an area for including a bulleted list of resources (sites, books, people, files on your computer, etc) that are available to you for completing the task. 
   3. The steps - Set up an area of the document for the individual steps needed to complete the task. With each step, you'll include any tips or strategies related to that step, directly near the instructions of the step, so you can reference them at the exact time they're needed.
3. Build your initial super-system - Fill in the areas of the document as needed with everything you have and know right now.
4. Maintain, grow, and improve your system - As you go through life and you discover new resources, ideas, tips, strategies, or graphics related the task, update your super-system document with that knowledge accordingly. This means that instead of pointlessly collecting, clipping, and bookmarking information all over the place, gather with a purpose, and place these items into something useful - your super-system document!

Create as many super-systems as you want or need. Remember, they're perfect for any kind of repeatable task you need to perform, from exercising, to planning meals for the week, to creating a presentation, and more!

 

Pay Attention To What Results-Getters DO!

What's a specific result that you want to achieve in life?

Do you want to manage your money better, start an online business, or eat healthier?

There are people who do these things, and many of them share their methods for getting their results, through articles, blogs, and books.

The question is: How do you personally respond to their methods?

Because people who get REAL results often do things VERY different than others who simply 'dabble', their 'methods' for getting those results are sometimes seen as 'unconventional', and even criticized for being unpopular, impractical, and even unbalanced - often by the 'dabbler's'.

The bottom line: When you REALLY want a specific result, you must pay attention to the people who are getting it, including their routines, decision making process, how they spend their free time, etc. 

When you do, you may think they're crazy for how they do things, and you may even feel like you totally disagree with their methods because doing them in your own life would 'go against your grain.' But isn't that the point? Isn't that how you grow and become more?

If you're not getting the results you want - something about what you do, and how you live your life is going to have to change...period!

Here's A Picture-Perfect Example

Let me give you a very simple example of what I mean...

I create and capture systems/processes for virtually everything repeatable that I do in my life and business. In my experience, it's an essential element to leading an organized, and highly-effective life. 

I even have a step-by-step process for how to to get the pictures from my camera onto my computer. It's only 10 steps long, but it ensures I don't have to think to much about how to get pictures edited, cleaned up, and onto my computer, where they're backed-up.

One time I told someone who was concerned about the possibility of losing the 1ooo's of pictures stored on their camera (in the event the camera was ever lost or stolen) that I had this little step-by-step process in place to help me avoid this issue, and of course, they thought I was crazy!

To them, what normal person has a step-by-step process for doing something as simple as getting pictures from their camera to their computer?

 A person who has a solution to their challenge!

As you can likely guess, due to it's craziness, this person had no desire to adopt the method I shared with them - it was 'unnecessary'

So, while my photos look great and are backed up, their photos continue to sit on their camera, waiting for a potential event where they'll be lost forever.

Someone Else's Craziness May Be Your Solution

The reality is that, if someone is getting the results you want, and you're not, they're doing SOMETHING you should really pay attention to - even if it seems crazy, unreasonable, or even makes you uncomfortable to think about doing it yourself.

• If they say: Only watch an hour of TV a day, then DO IT, even if you have to give up a show or two!
• If they say: Quit drowning your mind in mainstream news, then DO IT, even if you sweat when you think of the withdrawal!
• If they say: Drink more water, then DO IT, even if you don't like the taste of water!

Don't dismiss results-getters because you don't like their methods.

Realize that they're often getting those results BECAUSE of their methods, and maybe instead of criticizing them and thinking they're unreasonable, it would be better to emulate what they're doing!

Pay attention to what result-getters DO!

Sell The Action Machine - Keep ALL The Profits!

One of the best productivity tools I've ever created is The Action Machine, something you've either heard me talk about, or you may have even checked it out yourself.

A LOT of people love The Action Machine because it's simple, and it works!

As a result of all this love, one of the biggest requests I get is from users who want to sell, offer, or make available the software to their clients and customers, as their own product.

Well, I've decided to make this a reality... I just put the finishing touches on a reseller package that includes everything you need to offer The Action Machine - and keep all the profits!

You get:

• The software (Windows and Mac)
• A sales website
• A fully-illustrated user's guide
• 2 high-resolution, brandable Clarity Maps
• A brandable version of the Action Unleashed! ebook

All for less than you can probably imagine.

*** Only 100 reseller packages are being made available (UPDATE 1/7/13: 49 are left). ***

And you want know what's great about the timing of doing this right now?

The new year is less than a couple weeks away, and people are looking for tools and strategies for helping them make changes in how they live and work...

Give them what they want - The Action Machine! :)

Here's a link to the page that explains everything:

Just so you know, for 2013, I have many, many great things planned related to personal development ideas and products.

I can't wait to share them with you. Have a fantastic day!
