So let me share my successes and my failures first, and don`t be shy, share yours too. I set three goals. Each has allocated time each week and these times are flexible, but not-negotiable. (the day to day routines have times allocated as well).

#1 Goal: Lose weight and be healthier and fitter so I can enjoy life!! I was 109kg in early January. March 1 here today in Australia – 100kg at weigh in this morning. YES!! 5 kg to go by the end of March. I`m pretty pumped -for sure!

#2 Goal: My business interests in 2016 were very unclear; woolly, lacked focus, lacked structure and… lost $$. — Ive downsized. I dumped programs. I simplified. I set up new systems. I have a simple time management system and I`m sticking to it. All this has taken time! Do I feel satisfied with where I`m at? YES! (in future posts, I`ll share more).

Is This True? ‘“Space Weather” May Be the Most Beautiful Thing on Earth’

Rob Ryan — Tue, 30 Aug 2016 20:32:43 +0000

Now here`s an article out of left field. “Space Weather” May Be the Most Beautiful Thing on Earth by A. Stout

I`m pretty passionate about our planet and health and what we can do about making things , well “healthier”. As a business person, with a long background in the Education arena, I reckon that “knowledge is the key to change”. What do you say?

So when I cam across this … well you have a bit of a read, great pics too!!

It is nighttime in the far north. A smattering of stars sprinkles the sky. Then suddenly, bands of bright colors skate across the navy expanse. The Aurora Borealis.

Colloquially known as the Northern Lights, the Aurora Borealis was named after Aurora, the Roman goddess of dawn, as well as Boreas, the Roman god of north wind. For ages, it has both terrified and fascinated humankind. But where does this colorful light show come from? And where and when can it be seen?

The Aurora Borealis begins with none other than our neighboring star, the sun. In a phenomenon called solar wind, the sun ejects particles of plasma into the depths of space, where it often bypasses our home planet. The Earth’s magnetic field deflects them. At the same time, magnetic attraction pulls the plasma to the poles. There, particles in our atmosphere like oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen collide with the solar winds, causing the colorful spectacle that sets the sky aglow.

The colors seen during an Aurora Borealis are not random, either, but are due to a combination of height and particle collision. Green, often the most dominant color, is caused by particle interaction with oxygen, for instance, and this color occurs at around 150 miles above ground.

When is the best time to see the Northern Lights, and where? That depends on what you’re looking for. The Aurora Borealis occurs year-round, but between April and August, it’s tricky to see because days are longer (or, if you’re far enough north, unending!). They say solar winds are most frequent during autumn and spring, so September and March may be the Aurora Borealis peak seasons. However, winter is also a great time to see them because nights are longer and darker, making the bright colors really pop against the satin sky. Whatever the case, September through early April offer great opportunities to see them. Just keep in mind that, similar to earth weather, space weather can be unpredictable, so you’re never guaranteed a show.

As for where? Well, the most obvious answer is “North,” but to be more specific, places like Alaska, Canada, Finland, Norway, and Sweden are fantastic spots to see the lights. During peak season, you may even see them as far south as the northernmost states in the contiguous U.S.!

The Aurora Borealis may be one of Earth’s most fantastic features. But there are other “Northern Lights” bringing beauty to the world—and one of them is the Northern Lights Wildlife Society! Read on to find out how you can help their cause.

★ How Can I Help? ★

A baby moose and its mother have a strong bond. Unfortunately, there are thousands of deadly encounters between moose and cars every year, in addition to natural disasters such as fires or floods. Any one of these can orphan a young moose before it is prepared to fend for itself. That’s why the Northern Lights Wildlife Society takes in injured and orphaned wildlife with the eventual aim of rehabilitation and reintegration into the wild. Your gift will provide care for a rescued moose so they can grow up and raise their own kin someday.

Answered: Productivity Tips When Traveling

Rob Ryan — Thu, 26 May 2016 18:56:30 +0000

Answered: Productivity Tips When Traveling …. saves time and worry!! And makes for … peace and joy!!

Managing your time when you have a yearly calendar loaded with travel is not a simple thing to do. Based from my experience of a busy travel lifestyle annually, here are some tips to keep you on schedule despite of being away from home:

Before you go away there are a number of tasks that must be done or prioritized before you can focus on your a trip or vacation, you must entrust work to someone that can efficiently do it.

>> Here are several points to consider in hiring someone that may continue your work while you are away:

– Write down a list of tasks so you know what type of candidate you are after: you may need more than one person to do your tasks – it`s rare that the one person would have all the skills you need to complete the task.

– Interview candidates extensively and check references.

– It’s essential to test the skills your hiring for, set an example exercise to filter candidates.

– What you are looking for is that the task completed is accurate and more importantly returned in a timely manner.

Delegate Work Accordingly

It’s hard to delegate tasks to a new staff member but like any new staff there will need to be training involved first. Use free software like Jing to show the staff member what they need to do to complete the task this is handy if they are lost they can easily replay your video.

Reporting to you daily showing that they have completed your task will result in trusting them with more work until you are at a stage where you can build up to a weeks work at a time. When you are traveling ensure that you login in daily just to check progress and get feed back.

Trust Others

Trust is something that is built over time. Always praise on a job that is well done and encourage them to give you feed back on a task if they have other ideas they would like to input which sometimes you may not of thought of. Start building trust slowly and you will be rewarded with a loyal staff member.

Use Travel Time Wisely

For the times that you can’t hand over job to individuals in the workplace while you travel, here are suggestions on what you could do to remain on top of things:

When standing in line at the airport, you could take out a notepad and think of new business suggestions or take notes about essential company issues.

Instead of viewing the in-flight entertainment, you may use this time to work on your laptop. The best idea about flights is that you won’t be disrupted by work place telephones or any of your associates.

As a matter of fact, a few of my best ideas for “The Online Alliance” came to me throughout lengthy air travels. When I worked in Sydney several years ago, I would utilize the commute to perfect a big sales presentation or webinar by rehearsing and tape-recording myself.

Recreate an Office Environment

When you’re staying in a hotel, arranging your laptop and documents similar to your office setup may help. Instead of treating the hotel as an area of recreation, consider it as an area of “work-away-from-work.” Replicating an office setup will help you participate in work much better, thanks to an ambience that is now for performance.

Final Thoughts:

Working on many tasks is still possible while traveling. Nevertheless, it’s best to do the less important ones to raise productivity. For instance, you can leave tasks like non-urgent emails for flights and so that your office time will be focused on critical business matters.

Life hack reports that keeping e-mail programs open is disruptive to efficiency. Instead, checking e-mails five or six times a day will help you deal with them appropriately. So, either save those tiring e-mails for your travels or examine them occasionally throughout a typical working day. Better still have staff set up email folders so that you will have emails sorted and to look at when you are ready read your favorite subscriptions to important emails according to the author.

Ascension in High Ticket Affiliate Marketing .. it`s a No Brainer!

Rob Ryan — Wed, 18 May 2016 01:46:24 +0000

Ascension in High Ticket Affiliate Marketing – what does it mean? It`s about ‘Ascension Tiered Product Mix’!

To be successful online selling your information products in the e.learning niche, you must have a sales funnel. Every successful info-product marketer has one, so you need one too. There are a million different ways to put together a sales funnel, but the ascension model is very popular among most top online marketers – the reason being, ‘they make economic sense when done right’.

Let’s look at the basic principles of an ascension marketing model and why it makes sense.

The basic premise is to move people through your sales funnel from low to high priced products. When people start in the sales funnel, they can’t advance without buying the product in front of them essentially. They get introduced to the first product at an ‘entry level’ price. That might be a $7 or $17 product (we call this a Trip Wire), most likely being a 1 hour product of high educational value to the target audience.

This has effectively allowed us to acquire a Customer with the objective of the trip wire product to establish enough trust with the Customer that they can be offer and sold another higher priced product.

When they buy, they’ll be introduced to the next product, which might be a 3 hour course for $97 (as an example).

After that, another product in the sales funnel will be offered essentially ascending in value to the end Customer and Price. This may be a 5-10 hour course ranging from $297 to $497 as an appropriate example for the third products in the tiered-product mix. Finally, the last product in the funnel is the top-tier product you have. Typically, this will be a 10-20 hour course for $997 to $1,997 or above. It could be group coaching, personal coaching, a home study course, whatever!

This model really only requires 4 different levels of tiered products to make it work. Think of the model as a filtering process, where only the right people for you buy your best products. Obviously you’re going to have fewer buyers at each level, but the revenue gained from the higher priced products is well worth it. If you do the math with 1000 subscribers and only 20% buying from each level, the money made starts to stack up the economics of the cost associated with acquiring customers (hence the term economics).

Ascension impacts Economics

Most Online Marketers struggle with the economics of their business for the valuable lesson you have learned above. Your marketing and sales funnel MUST have these key attributes;

value
ascension
tiered product mix pricing
filtering
automated follow up
conversion tactics / actions

Whilst the above example showcased 4 tiers in the product mix to a high ticket offer of $1,997 (as an example). The real High Ticket Affiliate Marketing models (known as the HTAM method), have ascension through a tiered-product mix like this;

$5k, $10k, $15k and up to $30k

These are usually associated with LIVE events, Workshops or Licensing business models similar to Franchising (so the Customer may be purchasing and end-to-end turn-key business system and ready to market products and services).

Conclusion

The good thing about the Ascension Model is it’s easy to start with. It makes the most sense because you only want people who are serious to buy your products. This model is also easy to grow with as you can add more products to each level as your business scales and grows (and also to meet existing Customer demands).

This model is also easy to automate with email auto-responder systems that do all of the follow up work and thinking for you (when setup correctly). This model is the easiest for consistent income, particularly if one of your products is a monthly subscription – continuity program. If you know where each level converts at (we call this conversion metrics), you can forecast your income for every 10, 100 or 1,000 subscribers to your email list.
