			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><h1>Mindset &#8211; I don&#39;t know anyone who has decided to become a success and just gone out and done just like that! Nobody!</h1>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img align="left" alt="mindset Getting the ball rolling...." height="300" src="http://www.gavinthorne.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/mindset.png" width="300" title="Getting the ball rolling...." /></p>
<h2>So where does success come from? Well, it is actually the result of action being taken, you see you can not get any closer of reaching your goal = my definition of success = without first taking action! It&#39;s like sitting infront of a stove and saying &quot;when I get heat I will add the wood&quot; -&nbsp; you need to add the wood to get heat, get it? Does that make mindset sense? Sure it does <img src='http://www.gavinthorne.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt="icon smile Getting the ball rolling...." class='wp-smiley' title="Getting the ball rolling...." /> </h2>
<h3>So the starting point of your journey will need to be getting your foundations laid right. This will mean having a clear objective of what you want, it maybe money, it maybe a better life for yourself and your family, that Goal, whist is so very important, only matters to you, and when you have that you need to define what is needed to make this happen, can I do it myself? Does it need to be outsorced? Do I need a coach to shorten the procees?</h3>
<p>Whilst there is so much &#39;Messaging&#39; happening on the Internet today, when you really strip it down to the components that make this work, it is so very simple. Technology should never ever ever stop you moving ahead, however, it did me for the first 2 years, I thought I needed to know everything about everything&#8230;PPC, WordPress, Content, Branding, SEO, Facebook, Twitter and on and on the list goes&#8230;.endless!! But you really dont, what you do need to know are the following:</p>
<h3>Goal &#8211; what do you want and by when?</h3>
<h3>Plan &#8211; what do you need in place to achieve this?</h3>
<h3>Action &#8211; the more the better!</h3>
<h3>Help &#8211; Always get some advice, you will waste time and money trying to do it alone</h3>
<h3>Repeat &#8211; get near your goals and repeat the above process</h3>

<p><a href="http://www.gavinthorne.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/robert_kiyosaki.jpg"><img alt="robert kiyosaki Robert Kiyosaki explains how to get out of the rat race" class="size-full wp-image-1651" height="200" src="http://www.gavinthorne.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/robert_kiyosaki.jpg" title="robert_kiyosaki" width="200" /></a><span _fck_bookmark="1" id="cke_bm_115S" style="display: none;"> </span></p>
<h2>Here is an extract from Robert Kiyosaki wonderful course:</h2>
<blockquote>
<div class="corner-box">
<p>Having a Rich Dad Coach is like having <strong>your very own rich dad &mdash;</strong> someone to give you feedback, hold you accountable, and to encourage your success. The focus is on you and how you will personally get out of the rat race &ndash; just like rich dad did for me.</p>
<p>Take a look at where you are right now and then consider where you want to be. Your coach will help you get there. By going through this process, you will come away with a real, workable plan &mdash; customized to your strengths and passions.</p>
</p></div>
<h3>Your Rich Dad Coach will help you:</h3>
<ul class="checks nomarg" id="home_checks">
<li>Build a personalized financial and <strong>CASHFLOW</strong> plan</li>
<li>Discover your Mission, Passion and Purpose</li>
<li>Create an individual strategy to become secure, comfortable, and rich</li>
<li>Map out where you want to go and what you&#39;ll need to do to get there</li>
<li>Personalize an investment plan to help you into the &quot;B&quot; and &quot;I&quot; quadrants</li>
<li>Set your plan in motion&mdash;so that becoming rich is an automatic process</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>

<p>As always, study, do and repeat<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><h1>Why worry about being to be found on the web?</h1>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Try this &#8211; go to <a href="http://www.google.com" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.google.com?referer=');">www.google.com</a> and search for your type of business and the town you are in &#8211; how many times do you appear on the first page? If it&#39;s less than at least 4 entries we need to have a chat&#8230;&#8230;<br />
	</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Searching on the web is now how people search for local businesses. And the most common way bar none is Google, in fact people now use the term called &#39;Google It&#39; rather thane search the web for. And because you can accurately specify what you are looking for and get the answers back instantly there is no choice but to get your business online, effectively!<br />
	</span></span></p>
<h2><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Having a Website is a great starting place to be found on the web but is it just a brochure and information service or can your prospective customer engage with you? </span></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Is it readily available if someone searches in Google your type of business in your town? Do you have a YouTube channel for video&#39;s, a Facebook Page? Are you able to constantly monitor and keep your business on page 1 of Google? Do not worry if you don&#39;t have these essential tools and don&#39;t worry if you don&#39;t understand it all &#8211; I do! After all your <strong>main business</strong> is what you do to acquire new clients and retain existing customers, let me sort the online marketing for you, with prices starting from &pound;245 one time set up fee and &pound;245 monthly charge, it won&#39;t break the bank.<br />
	</span></span></p>
<h3><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Get your website&#39;s effectiveness reviewed for no cost to see if its found on the web easily.</span></span></h3>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">I will happily look over your online business to see if your business can be found on the web and make free recommendations to help you off on the right foot. After that its up to you how you proceed and decide how you want your business to be found on the web.<br />

<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">I make sure your business is found very easily by people searching the internet, using <strong>Google, Yahoo, Bing</strong> plus a host of there sites such as: YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Flickr. For a small monthly fee you can immediately measure your ROI with access to &#39;live&#39; lead/prospect data.<br />
	</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Did you know 90% of internet searches contain both a <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Product / Service</span> and a <span style="background-color: rgb(0, 255, 255);">Town / Area / Post Code</span>, for a typical example: </span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">For any business larger or small a Website is essential and they need not cost a small fortune</span>, a starter Website will cost &pound;297 and remember once is is properly indexed by the search engines it appears 24&#215;7 working for your business.<br />
	</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;">Ofcourse you can do so much more with a Website than just use it as a shop front to your business -&nbsp; you can start to gather visitor email addresses and send them out follow up emails about products, services or helpful free tips to build a relationship with your future clients or you could add on a shopping cart and sell your products and services fully automated, I can help you with all of that. <br />
	</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;">So yes you need to have a Website and no it does not need to cost a small fortune.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;">Getting listed locally online for your product or service is vital as 90% of Google searches are for local companies, so if you are not visible and your competitors are you are literally giving away your profits&#8230;..</span></p>
