\u201cThe time has come, the Walrus said, to talk of many things\u2026<\/em>\u201d starts the old poem by Lewis Carroll.<\/p>\n

It is relevant to this blog post as well.<\/p>\n

More so than ever, I\u2019ve become incredibly confused about how some people interpret their current experiences, and their self-assessment of their own habits and behaviors.<\/p>\n

Certain time-tested<\/em> mindsets<\/strong> and habits of thought<\/strong> breed daily achievement (i.e., getting things done or taking control of your day).<\/p>\n

But, before I tell you what I think some of those are, please allow me to list some of the items that confuse and sometimes baffle me.<\/p>\n

* * * * * * *
\n
\n>> <\/strong>Why people complain about how they don\u2019t have the money to do or buy what they want<\/strong>,<\/span><\/span> yet…<\/p>\n

*<\/strong> don\u2019t put forth the sweat equity; either in their job to put themselves in a position for an advancement, nor in their business so they can connect with more resources, contacts and customers.<\/p>\n

*<\/strong> blow $200.00 a week eating out, when they could eat in (healthy, fresh food from the grocery store) and put the $100 they save every week into buying silver coins (see Why I’m Going Silly For Silver<\/a>).<\/p>\n

>> Why people who complain always have solutions to problems, yet fail to identify themselves as part of the problem<\/span><\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

*<\/strong> think of the person who cries, \u201cI can\u2019t open your PDF or play your .mp3 file\u201d when they still haven\u2019t updated their Adobe Reader program, or cleaned up their computer, browser, and operating system.<\/p>\n

\"TheIf they\u2019d be willing to put the time in, and face the reality that they continue to struggle with their PC (and take ownership of that fact) they could learn a lot at The Newbie Club<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If they’d be willing to look at their own competency levels, then instead of blaming every vendor whose “system” doesn’t allow them to login or download their products, they’d spend as much time tracking down good computer instruction as they do tracking down a good car mechanic or hair dresser.<\/p>\n

Yep, if only… if only they could face up to that and put in the time, they could also learn a lot at PCPitStop and EHow.<\/p>\n

>> Why people whine about not knowing how to find information and professional contacts to help them build their online business when they have 2 very valuable tools available to them<\/span><\/span><\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Google.com and elance.com (or guru.com)<\/p>\n

\"Best<\/a>Or, better yet… grab a copy of Search Automator 3<\/a> ! If you’ve ever been at a loss for quality content, information, or inspiration, you need to take a serious look at this<\/span>.<\/p>\n

We use it daily to sift and sort through a treasure-trove of Websites, ebooks, tutorials, resources, checklists, guides, tips, tricks, articles, MP3s, videos, images, and more.<\/p>\n

*<\/strong> We meet folks every day who email us and ask: “How do you set up an e-commerce system?” <\/em>or “How do you find mentors to interview?”<\/em><\/p>\n

Well, for the former, we can’t think of a better, low-cost, user-friendly automated and centralized service\"E-Junkie\"<\/a> than E-Junkie<\/a>. Without question, if you’re not a comptuer whiz, online marketer with a lot of resources, or haven’t outsourced the help you need, this is the the most accommodating, flexible, high quality and low cost solution for selling digital products online.<\/p>\n

For the latter (how to be an interviewer), we send them straight to InterviewingUnwrapped.com<\/a> – it speaks of itself. Go take a look.<\/p>\n

>> Why people know exactly what they\u2019d do if they were in your shoes, yet slough off day-to-day responsibilities, while at the same time seek to assume additional ones<\/span><\/strong><\/span> (I\u2019ll definitely write about CDSF, or Consistent Daily Self-directed Focus, some other time).<\/p>\n

>> Why the average American today spends four hours daily in front of the tube (T.V. – i.e., Electronic Income Reducer) when they have more opportunities than ever before to be an incredible ACTIVE participant in life<\/span><\/strong><\/span>.
\n
\n>><\/span> Why people react to what they think is happening, yet never verify their thought process with facts<\/strong>.
\n
\n>><\/span> Why people assume that they have to fix themselves completely before they\u2019ll ever be \u201csomebody\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n

>><\/span> Why people complain about the weather outside when they need to be complaining about the weather in their head (inside).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Okay\u2026 so, I guess now I\u2019m about to get carried away, and could probably go on ad infinitum, but you get my drift, so I\u2019ll STOP. The bottom line<\/span>, as Life Coach Tim Brownson says, is “some people just like to be miserable<\/em><\/a>.”<\/p>\n

To sum all this up, I offer the following definition from Webster:<\/p>\n

CONCEPTUALISM<\/em><\/strong> – a doctrine in philosophy intermediate between nominalism and realism, that says that universals exist only within the mind, and have no external or substantial reality.<\/p>\n

Uhmmmm, kind of a more rough, raw, old school, but still needed-to-be-read similarity to what we know as MANIFESTATION.<\/p>\n

Now, for Barry\u2019s plain English version<\/span> – \u201cYou got an idea, a desire or a wish? Then DO something with it rather than jump on a soapbox.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

><\/strong><\/span> Talking about it alone won\u2019t make it happen.<\/p>\n

><\/span><\/strong> Daydreaming about it, with pretty and plump thought bubbles, all day, will just cause it to stay in the ethers.<\/p>\n

><\/span> And, complaining about it constantly will just make it run away.<\/p>\n

But, while those may be three ways to NOT take control of your life and get what you want, there are plenty of interviews available too, a la carte, that can help make your physical world operate at a much more optimized pace.<\/p>\n

Guidance, inspiration, and leadership is what it’s about. You can find a lot of that here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But, if you you’re all set inwardly – you’ve got the awareness and awakened mind to work on building things (like a spare-time or part-time online business) – then, go for something fun and rewarding like:<\/p>\n

\"BuildBuild a Niche Store<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s a great way to build an eBay business without selling your own products.<\/p>\n

Check it out. BANS<\/a> enables you to build eBay affiliate websites targeted to any eBay niche you want. These act as the medium through which you funnel targeted visitors to eBay.<\/p>\n

It’s the best thing for the start-up entrepreneur to come along in a loooooooog time.<\/p>\n

But, if you DO have your own product, or idea, or some PLR products lying around you haven’t figured out how to package, market, and sell… as already mentioned, use E-Junkie<\/a> for that.<\/p>\n

Before I let you go, here’s something Mentor #8B<\/strong>, inside the Barry’s Conversations<\/em> section of our Manifestation Portal<\/a>, recently sent out about the art of accomplishment and people who have a \u201cspeed implementation\u201d mindset:<\/p>\n

We outsource anything and everything that doesn\u2019t absolutely require us to do it personally<\/strong>. We know what our high payoff activities are, and we are disciplined about getting everything else off our plate. (I even found myself delegating converting my handwritten notes to a Word document.)<\/p>\n

We say no \u2013 a lot<\/strong>. When you realize that everything you say yes to means saying no to something else, you start saying no to anything that won\u2019t directly result in your guaranteed success.<\/p>\n

We make decisions quickly rather than spending months trying to figure out how to make it happen<\/strong>. Just decide you will do it, when you want it done, then figure out the how.<\/p>\n

We have something really important at stake<\/strong>. And not getting it just isn\u2019t acceptable. We are willing to do WHATEVER IT TAKES to get things done. We are willing to invest more time, money and energy in the right tactics to move forward quickly.<\/p>\n

We are resourceful<\/strong>. \u201cSorry, not possible\u201d is not an answer that we accept. We constantly scan for, \u201cWhat would have to happen to have this in my life?\u201d There are no obstacles that can\u2019t be overcome, just opportunities to explore other options.<\/p>\n

Getting things done fast is about possessing a certain attitude that causes you to take consistent action on your highest payoff activities.<\/p>\n

If you find that you don\u2019t yet possess a speed implementer\u2019s mindset and habits, then it\u2019s time to get some help. The truth is you probably won\u2019t be able to change this without some mentoring or coaching.<\/p>\n

So find someone who is embodying the success you desire and hire them to mentor you!<\/p>\n
