Yet another excellent little ‘kick in the nuts’ article from my good friend Stuart Goldsmith. (One of the most respected ‘success coaches’ in the world…).

The Power of Discipline (Part One)

Before I fell asleep last night, I was staring at the ceiling and thinking about wealth. Something had started me off…what was it? Ah yes, I read somewhere that 60% of the people in the UK reach retirement with a net worth of zero, or less than zero.

I am often shocked by reading something like this statistic. It starts me thinking. My mind reels at the enormity of the implications. Let’s look at it again: Sixty percent of people retire, after working for 40 or 50 years, and they have… nothing… not a single penny piece.

In fact most of them have  less  than nothing because they are in debt.

What this means is that if you add up the current value of everything they own (equity in house, furniture, car, jewellery, TV, camera, washing machine, ‘fridge, etc) and subtract it from their debts (HP, bank loans, Visacard, mortgage outstanding, debts to family and
friends, overdrafts, etc.) then for 60% of people, the result is a minus figure.

Unbelievable!

No, really, truly astounding, don’t you think?

This is what kept me awake. This is why I couldn’t sleep. I just couldn’t understand it. It made me want to wave a magic wand and instantly change people’s way of thinking so that this didn’t happen.

Then I started to think that it wasn’t so simple. It seemed so complicated this ‘making money’ business. Don’t you feel that sometimes? There are so many elements and factors. So many different subjects to master. So many books, CDs and DVDs to absorb. So many different ‘gurus’ telling you different things at their seminars.

Is it really transferable from me to you? Is there a single factor which I could seize upon and say: “This is what you must have. This is the starting point. Without this, you can forget about wealth, because it won’t happen for you.”

How can someone work all their lives and end up with NOTHING?

How the hell can that happen? They must have made at least a quarter of a million in that time; probably much more like half a million!

Then I realised that I was making the mistake of blaming older people and wondering what was unique about them – what made them such idiots to retire broke. Of course! It wasn’t just older people.

It’s everyone (most people, I mean) of every age. It isn’t unique to retired folk. This is an arbitrary dividing line and one which obscures the real situation. Take a cross-section of the population from eighteen to eighty-five and 60% (at least) of these people have a net value of zero or less.

I haven’t seen the figures, but I strongly suspect that as you move down the age range, towards the younger people, the percentage actually worsens. You’ll probably find 90% of 18-year olds, 75% of thirty year olds, and 65% of fifty year olds are worth nothing.

In other words, pensioners are actually better than the population at large, even though this is not saying much. They’ve merely had longer to drag themselves into solvency – even then, most don’t make it.

With affiliate programs, it really pays to work well
with others. Also known as referral programs,
affiliate programs are normally commission based
sales. You’ll recommend a site to your visitors and
then pick up a percentage of any sale that those
visitors make. You’ll benefit from the commission
and the merchant benefits from the sales.

If you already have a website set up, you can run
an affiliate program from it, or you can simply
build a site to promote a particular product or
service. As long as it brings in more cash than it
takes to build or run it, you’ll be fine.

With any marketing program, you’ll need to be careful
when you select an affiliate program. The benefit
of an affiliate program will give you another way
to make money from your users. Instead of selling
them a product, you simply send them to a partner
then take a cut of the profits.

Even though it may seem tempting to go for programs
with the highest commissions, those programs won’t
pay you anything if your visitors don’t buy them.

Below, you’ll find some tips to help you select an
affiliate program that’s right for you:
1. Do not accept any less than 25% with
commission. You can find many programs with great
payment structures and high percentages of pay in
just about any field.
2. Look for statistic pages that list the
number of click throughs, sales, and earnings so
you’ll be able to see how you are doing.
3. Always look for programs that offer a
wide variety of tools to put on your web site,
including banners, text links, and of course graphics.
4. Find out hwo often you’ll be paid and
be sure that the payment schedule meets with your
own expectations. Some programs will pay monthly,
while others will pay quarterly.
5. Be sure that top level support is
included. If they can’t answer your questions in
a quick and timely manner, you don’t want to work
with them.

Once you learn what you are doing with affiliate
programs, you can make a lot of money. If you
are just starting out, you should always use common
sense and not rush into anything. As you become
more familiar with how things work, you’ll be well
on your way to making a lot of money – and
enjoying making it. If you have to work hard, you’ll
be glad you did.
