My climate change journey ( part 1 )

As a person who cares about my environment, it goes hand in hand that I care about the environment, so I decided to write about my climate change journey.

Who knows, this may inspire people or give them ideas that they can take along their journey.

The planet is on fire and it's an emergency. This is what Greta Thunberg is on about. She also bashes countries and organisations because they could change their policies and make a change like a switch that could benefit the planet.

Unfortunately I'm not a country or a large corporate, and rather than protesting I decided to do something practical. I invented the NiteSave device and I'll cover this in later parts of this blog.

So my journey starts here in Sevenoaks in 2017 when I got fed up with fumes and cramped conditions and started walking instead of taking the tube.

I was shelling out about £1k a month on travel. A lot of it was going to National Rail. Initially I kept finding ways of changing my journey (split ticketing) to make it cheaper until I settled on a combination of electric bicycle and electric moped.

My journey to work ( commute ) was about 30 miles so I either rode a bicycle ( 2 hours ) or an electric moped ( 1 hour ) and carried the battery up to the office for charging at my desk. I did this for 18 months until covid hit.

I'll continue my climate journey in the next episode. If you are interested in climate chllenge stuff, keep following me and join the NiteSave community where we share ideas and help each other.

Do something crazy - give your friends a fiver!

Following on from my success blog and , I've been working more and more in London. As this involves a lot of time on the train I noticed that more and more people are using their laptops and phones to watch videos.

I followed suit and soon found out that to do this, you need a lot of bandwidth and mobile data.

I needed to find a mobile provider that would be flexible and could also help my network of entrepreneurs and people looking for better health.

My work is seasonal - first and second quarter of the year is when I help the most people with health and wealth, I need to be able to change my mobile tariff as and when I need it.

Enter giffgaff, the mobile network run by people in the UK. I initially chose unlimited data (all you can eat) on 4G. Then when I wasn't using the train so much and driving more later in the year, I changed to 3GB of 3G - enough for my emails, calls and satnav - thanks to google maps!

3 things you can do with $20

Speaking with Mike last week about spend vs save vs invest mentality led me to put together a program which I intend to share with those who are interested in finding out more about making money from home.

Mike asked me what people could do with $20 citing the excuse that so many people he speaks to give.. "I don't have any money, how can I invest?"

So I set myself the challenge. I saved myself £20 by using up Charlotte's aseye berry shake for lunch which saved me time and petrol money too because I didn't have to travel home to make a sandwich.

Then I took the $20 and using my etoro account, set to work 15 minutes a day. Have a look at the picture to see a sample of what I was achieving with etoro - I'll show how later.

I've been using etoro for a couple of months now and have already started helping others to achieve success.

Which brings me on to my third use of $20 apart from spending, or investing...
Give away $20!
Just like I received originally I'm offering $20 to you so you can copy me and try out etoro.

What have I done with my $20? Turn it into $70.

Email me to find out how.

Probably not for you, so this might be a shot in the dark

Why I am giving away over $36,000 this year

As you may know, I've been running my business since 1994 and helped over 5080 people in 26 countries to better their financial situation.

Barely a week goes by without customers and partners coming to me via my automated systems. Because of my continued success I now have the opportunity to bring on board an additional 5 people to build an additional income.

You might be one of the sharp, well connected people I am looking for. All you need is a willingness to work and a "no quit" attitude. Oh and if you can read and follow this and use facebook or google plus, then you are set.

This opportunity could benefit you and you family and friends and I'm looking to share with you, if you are willing.

About the opportunity
Everywhere you go these days you see people with their heads in a phone - iphone, android, blackberry. This surge in mobile or smart phone use has never been seen before.

Company owners are struggling to get their businesses recognised because of the distraction from Candy Crush and other popular apps. Unless they spend thousands of dollars in creating another Candy Crush, they haven't a hope in heck until now.

I've teamed up with some developers to create a mobile website platform that provides the ability for any business owner to have a web presence, right on someones smartphone home screen.

How you could benefit.
Every business owner that you introduce who goes on to create an Easy Mobile Website will result in a comission to you. $40 up front and $5 a month in ongoing revenue.

Perhaps you know someone who is a business owner or you are in a network of people. They will be getting an amazing website that boosts their business and you will receive an ongoing income.

Why me, why now?
There are so many people in the world looking for an income right now. So many in the world that will never have a job. Here's an opportunity to help others and yourself.

What's next?
I like the idea - what's next?

Download and example app to your smartphone and try it out. If you like, let's get you started.

1. Be coachable - get ready to learn (UK & International)
If you aren't used to making lots of money, and you want to know how, you may not be in the right mindset. Picture yourself in the future with a better income - what would you be able to do with that extra lolly?

Ready? Get ready to learn.

2. Get a system (UK & International)
In order to make money you need to use leverage - a term used by entrepreneurs. It basically is a term which refers to something that makes your life easier. A system gives you leverage by repeating tasks automatically. You want a business, not a job, right? Download a free 14 page guide on how to put a system in place.

3. Use the system and prepare to make mistakes (UK & International)
There's a rule in life that many people don't realise. "Do nothing, get nothing". Many people fail to start their business because they don't commit regular time and see a project through. As I have helped over 400 people to start a business over the last 4 years, I realise there is a common trend in people who fail. They don't even get started. The people who are successful go through the steps required, make mistakes, learn and move forward every day.

3 choices most wannabe business owners never make

The 3 choices most people never make when it comes to starting a business

If you've ever looked beyond getting a JOB and thought about branching out into the world of business, then like many people you may not know what's involved.

I've been helping people with my business since 1994 and here's my top 3 decisions that really are choices. Most people never get this far - that's why many businesses fail. I help put a stop to the failure with my free program.

1. Decide to be coachable (willing to learn)
If you currently have a job, have never had a job or are too young to have a job, then you will have no knowledge of how to go about starting a business. You have to learn. I find that there are 2 types of people that approach me in starting a business. Those that are willing to be coachable and learn new skills; and those that think they know all there is to know.

Even if you think you know all there is to know, you can decide to be coachable and act like a sponge - taking on all the advice and acting on it. That is a choice, most people never make.

2. Decide to give it a go ( willingness to act) and never give up
Believe it or not, many people say they wish they could have their own business and never try. The act of running a business involves deciding that you are going to do something different - what you have learned.

There's a very important reason to decide to give things a go - why? because ultimately you are going to have to make the 3rd and most elusive decision.

3. Decide to help others and teach others
This was one of the toughest choices for me to make. I remember crying over my beer after a leadership conference. My mentor at the time had taken me out for a meal. I said to him, "so you mean that for me to be successful I have to help other people?" It wasn't until I embraced the fact that I wasn't going to be successful until I could commit to sharing my knowledge and helping others to achieve their dreams.


So, here I am having made my choices and now I am reaching out to you. If you can see yourself making the 3 choices which could be the best 3 decisions you'll ever make, then let's talk further.

The 3 ages of man - where are you on the Santa scale?

Reflections on 2013
At last I had a few minutes reflection on the year 2013. It has been a phenomenal year with myself and many others in my circles re-inventing themselves in order to step up to the plate and make a change in their lives. 

Fuelling the Fire
As many of you know I like to put others first, this is a major contributor to my success. It's like bob proctor says - you must do this - Imagine saying to the stove give me some heat,  then I'll put on some fuel. You must help people first and invest in people to bring out the best in them.

Will the real Father Christmas, please stand up?

The 3 ages of man
So, what does this have to do with the 3 ages of man. One of my inspirational mentors, Dallin Larsen was likened to Father Christmas. This reminded me of a Christmas card my father in law was given 6 years ago.

The 3 ages of man..

1. You believe in Father Christmas

2. You don't believe in Father Chritmas

3. You are Father Christmas

Isn't it the same with dreams, business and making money.

Belief, Denial, Be

1. Some people have a dream when they are young and are full of belief.

2. Then along the way they get discouraged and settle for less than their dreams

3. Some break through, dust off their dreams and step up to be 

So, if you haven't stepped up and become the true Father Christmas, why not now?

3 top tips for making money from anything - including staying in bed!

I was inspired by my friend Avram Gonzalez who introduced me to the concept of making money doing what I loved best.



Their formula led to making money, irrespective of what they blogged about. I took that one stage further and started helping others to make more money doing what they are passionate about.

So I have 2 great passions.
1. Helping people
2. Resting in bed until the afternoon

So I decided that I would help people to do more of what they enjoyed doing, too!

Take Sarah, my friend who is into Yoga so much, she decided to make a living out of it. She trained to be a yoga teacher and then with my assistance helped to fill classes using my system. My system comprises a social media engine that combined with a longer lasting marketing system, allows you to promote your business.

Don't have a business? No worries. You have 2 options.

1. Start one.
2. Use my formula which allows you to make money out of what you love.

So here's my top 3 tips for making money out of anything.
There is a catch, however. If you are passionate about what you do, then you will be more successful. Not so passionate, not so successful. Ask me if you are not sure and my coaching program can help you find your passion.


1. If you are passionate about something, you will be happy to tell people about it - passionately!

There are many ways of keeping in touch with people now.
Phone (for chatty people)
Text (for busy people)
Youtube (for pretty people)
Blog (for people good at typing)
Twitter (for busy people)
Facebook (for fun people)
Linkedin (for business people)
Advertising (for traditional people)
And of course there are face to face - calling on peoples houses or going out for coffee.
There's also giveaways - leaflets through to direct mail and prizes.
So lets say you are passionate about dogs. And you love keeping in touch with your friends on facebook. There's a powerful way that you can combine the 2 and make money with both. You'll be happy to share your news, pictures and stories about dogs with your friends on facebook.
Pick something you are passionate about. That way you will be more likely to keep going and be more successful.

2. Use all the help you can get. From people and online systems.

I started my business in 1994. Helping people and of course trying out different beds as I travelled round the world doing it. The internet wasn't around then so I had to rely on the phone. Now I use my secret system combined with some special tools (which I am happy to share with you) that help me to do more business and free me up to spend more time with my passions.
So make sure you align yourself with people that are willing to help you and have working knowledge of the systems that will automate your money making.


3. Start today. Don't delay.

If you think you can put something off until the future, don't. The more you get into the habit of doing today what you could put off til tomorrow, the more natural or second nature it becomes.
I spent over 18 months developing the software which can make money online. I spent time each night after work researching learning and applying. This allowed me to test and now I am able to offer this to you.
Even if you can only type or say "my name is Dave and I like minecraft. Here's my favourite video."
Then doing this once a day everyday will lead to massive success using my system. Compare that with doing nothing. Result: nothing!
So my third tip is to do a little and often. That way you get into the habit.
Follow me on twitter.

How do I delete my blog in blogger or blogspot?

I tried to create a new blog last weekend and uncovered a flaw in blogspot. You can only have a certain number of blogs.

Google asked me to delete a blog to make way for my new one, or create a new account.

So I researched how to delete a blog - there is an option.

In the blogger dashboard, click settings, then other. In the blog tools section, there is a link to "Delete blog"

However, this got me thinking. If this blog isn't performing for me, why not rename it and reuse it. If it has been available to search engines for a while surely there must be an advantage. So that's what I am going to do.

In the end I decided to keep the name of the blog and just put my new content on. I believe in search engine friendly content, so lets see how it goes.

The new (old blog) is
http://readmefirstuk.blogspot.co.uk/

No secret - my simple formula for success

Here it is. I now reveal what it is that I do in order to ensure my ongoing success.

Success means different things to different people, so here's mine.

Success = more money = more freedom = more time with family

So here's what I do.

1. Pick a day every week where I will dedicate to my family.

2. Pick a time every day when I will dedicate half an hour to increasing my income.

3. Every day I research and choose a single person who I believe has the qualities to succeed.

4. I invite that special person to look at the project I am working on.

5. This is a crucial step. If they are a "tire kicker" who is just interested in taking a look then at this point they will qualify themselves out. Fail the interview if you like.

However most people are genuinely wanting change in their lives and will dedicate 5 minutes of their time to really look and ask questions.

Common questions at this point are how do you make money? How can I get started?

Most questions can be answered by a link with information from our knowledge base. We will always introduce people to those more successful than us in the team.

That's it. Pretty simple but it's not easy dedicating time each day to your success.

when the love vs war battle was won

Looking at Google ngrams - a fascinating site that searches through many books for the occurrance of words in books.

3 searches I did

1. occurrances of love vs war
http://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=love%2C+war&year_start=1800&year_end=2008&corpus=6&smoothing=3&share=

In 1931 war dominates love and continues to dominate from that time on.

2. zombies vs vampires vs werewolves - and the winner is.

http://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=vampire%2C+zombie%2C+werewolf&year_start=1800&year_end=2008&corpus=6&smoothing=3&share=

In 1995 zombies overtook werewolves, but vampires have always dominated

Enjoy your own ngrams search.

Post your responses below...

p.s. ipad is a term used in books from the 1800s according to ngrams!

another endorsement of my 'robots' strategy

If you are promoting a business - having a 'robot' to do work for you is another tool in your arsenal that helps you to succeed.

Following on from my post about tools systems and robots, one of my mentors, Eric Worre put a video together talking about the power of using tools, focusing less on wasting time, but making more quality conversations.

It couldn't come at a more perfect time.

The 1/3 1/3 1/3 rule

I love mentors, they come up with some great info, rules and sayings that I use to my benefit.
So my recent mentor in business building introduced me to a concept which I would like to share with you.
1/3 1/3 1/3
When building a business, be it traditional business, MLM, Community Commerce, Network Marketing, affiliate marketing or online promotion, the best people to prospect are...
Those already in business. Here's why..
1/3 are happy in what they are doing
1/3 are doing ok but are not happy
1/3 are struggling and looking  for a new team / opportunity / mentor
So basically 2/3 of the business owners you contact will actually be looking for something better.

3 million dollar tips on growing a business

Here's 3 of my top tips on how to build a business online.

1. How do I engage with my prospects (potential customers)?

That's the word. Engage. This means asking questions. Speaking at a human level. Keep it friendly and be interested in them.

Talk about

Family
Occupation (work - how's the boss?)
Recreation (do you get time for hobbies? What's your favourite activity)
Motivation (what motivates you. What's your priority in life)

If you combine questions with a business system then you do not have to talk business, you can keep things friendly and then using a powerful system you can get a machine to run the business for you.

2. How can I get more results with the limited time I have? Do more with less?
This is where a system comes into place. The Internet is powerful and has a series of software robots that can do much of your work for you. Android phones and apple phones and tablets such as ipad, kindle fire etc. are computers that can have software loaded on them that acts as a robot, doing your work for you. Social media is a set of software robots that will help you to build your business too.

I have accumulated over 60 robots to help me with building my business. Combined with my e-book and guide, this can help you to build your business.

Thank you Mr Green for the iPad giveaway idea.

STOP Ignoring Angles! – a guest post by Mr.Green! Prologue.

This week I tested a new angle. It bombed, was in the red. However I tried to take a positive out of that campaign, I found the lander had a decent CTR.

So next I tried the same kind of offer, with the same layout lander, but with a different angle. It destroyed, it turned into a $16,000+ day campaign within two days.

Chapter 1 – “The Awakening”. Over the past few weeks I have been coaching Team ASP for The F5 Hunger Games. At the start we were discussing angles, I was very surprised to find that not many people put much focus on angles. What do I mean by a “different angles”?

Lets say you have an iPad giveaway offer, some angles for that are; weekly winner, quiz, survey, or a simple iPad giveaway.

For dating, some angles are; exclusivity, privacy and niche appeal.

Every single offer that uses a pin submit as a form of monetization is leveraging a different angle; ringtones, quizzes, giveaway, battery offer, dating, wallpapers.

The beauty of split testing angles is in most cases you don’t need to redesign a whole new lander around it.

You just need to switch up the copy.

Chapter 2 – “Unfashionable”. After giving feedback to quiet a few campaigns. I’ve noticed some trends. Most affs prioritize their split tests like this: - make a couple of ads. - make one lander/angle. - check results. - split test a different lander titles. - split test lander images. - check results. - make a few more different ads. - check results. - split test call to action buttons on the lander. - check results.

Usually by that point affs would either pack it in because they aren’t profitable, or will be happy that they are profiting and try to spend more.

 I’m not saying that strategy is completely wrong… However a strategy that has worked very well for me goes a little like: - make a few ads. - make one lander/angle. - check results. - If profitable or break even, if losing split test with a different angle. - check results. - make a few more ads.

**Only until I am break even or profitable, I will start changing minor things on my landers. Yes that does mean a more effort off the bat, but the pay days and margins make it all the more worth while.


Chapter 3 – “Resurrecting The Dead”. Thinking up angles don’t only apply to new campaigns. Numerous times I have revived “dead” campaigns by flipping the angle on that shit.

STM guide examples:

Enhance rebill campaign with male perspective died.

Resurrected with female perspective. That started dieing.

Resurrected with scientific twist.

Music quiz ringtones campaign died.

Resurrected with movie and tv show themes.

Daily deal “70% off” campaign died.

Resurrected with focus on low prices instead of discounts.

Pet campaign “Get a dog training job” died.
 Resurrected by focusing on potential wages and not the actual job.

Battery app campaign “Improve your battery life” died.
Resurrected by focusing on not letting peoples batteries die.

I could go all day!

Chapter 4 – “It’s All You”.
Some of you already now this, only a few will act. Don’t excuse yourself from not doing it because you don’t think you are creative. Google is one click away. I’m not writing this for the sake of writing. It’s something that I focus on a lot with my personal campaigns.

I know my Hunger Games crew started to financially see the benefits of taking time to understand and implement different angles. Angles are your friends, but some of you are ignoring them. Learn to love them, and they will love you back and pay you in USDs.
