This may come as a surprise... but many marketers are so
busy,How To Get In The Zone And Blast Your Marketing To A Higher Level Articles they don't have time to get to the next level.

Direct marketers are busy people. But sometimes you can be
too busy for your own good.

So busy in fact that you fail to see the opportunities to
move up a level in your career.

=> Side Bar

When Richard Branson set up Virgin Airways, did he sit in his
office and wonder if it would ever work? Did Bill Gates sit in
his office wondering if anyone would want to buy his Windows
product? No, they both knew they would be successful and worked
unceasingly to make it happen.

When working to achieve your goals, you need that unerring
sense of confidence and lack of doubt in yourself. You must Know
it is going to happen and that you will succeed. We are not
talking about thinking you will succeed, believing you will
succeed or knowing you will achieve your goal. They are all
intellectual forms of Knowing, Knowing with a capital K; that
solid feeling in the pit of your stomach that you will make
happen and you cannot fail. Expect it to happen and know there
is no other way. It will happen. This Knowing gives you drive
and commitment to see you through to the success of your goal.

Here is a simply 60 minute exercise that not only helps you
identify the opportunities, but also helps you "Know It Will
Happen."

Are You Too Busy To Succeed ?
-----------------------------

Joe Karbo is one of the most famous direct marketers of all
time.

In his book - The Lazy Man's Way To Riches - Joe explained a
simple technique that helped him focus his thoughts and achieve
his goals.

It's been said many times that what the mind can conceive
and believe, you can achieve.

How often do you take the time to conceive of let alone
believe in your true potential ?

Many people seem to think that unless they are physically
moving and doing things or actively thinking (or is that
worrying) about a problem, then they are being lazy and
unproductive.

Nothing is further from the truth.

Albert Einstein once asked "Why is it I get my best ideas in
the morning while I'm shaving ?"

The answer is revealed in the technique you are about to
learn.

The Technique
-------------

Step #1 - Find or Make A Quiet Hour Each Day

Find or make one hour each day to devote to a simple
technique that yields so much benefit.

Step #2 - Get Comfortable and Set An Alarm Clock For 1 Hour

You will be in the position you choose for an hour so
comfort is more important than whether or not you lie down
or sit up.

Step #3 - Close Your Eyes and Count Your Breaths

In cycle 1 count 10 breaths in
In cycle 2 count 10 breaths out

Do each cycle twice and don't worry if you lose count - just
bring yourself back to the count and carry on - The aim is
to slow your mind down, and get physically comfortable.

Step #4 - Creative Visualisation

During this phase project yourself into the future and see
yourself as you will be when you have achieved your goal.

Move yourself strongly into the future by imagination.

Use strong sensory perception to make the conception real.
See the vibrant colours, feel the sun's warmth, the breeze and
wind against your skin, take in the smells and tastes.
Notice the clothes you are wearing.

Get involved with your surroundings.

Let your mind roam and enjoy the sensations - This is the
conceive and believe in action and it must be real in your
mind in order to take effect.

Step #5 - Ask Questions And Let Them Go

From time to time during your visualisation ask a question that
is bothering you and then let it go. Ask the question by
speaking the words silently to yourself and then just let it
go.

Step #6 - Awake slowly
When your alarm rings, bring yourself back to the present
slowly before arising and carrying on with the rest of your
days work.

Conclusion
----------

When I learned this technique from Joe Karbo, I was
sceptical - but I did it anyway - after all it costs nothing
and it's a pleasant break in the day.

The strange thing is - It works !

Apply the steps in full with conviction, do it for 30 days
and you will never look back.

What do these people have in common ?

Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Jimmy Connors, Joe Karbo,
Richard Branson, Thomas Edison, Mozart, Albert Einstein.

1) They are the best of the best in their chosen careers
2) They all use or used a form of creative visualisation

Will you give it a try from today ?
