MY 4 KEY PRINCIPLES TO BEING SUCCESSFUL

I'm EJ "Big Ed" Benko ...  I've been a successful online marketer / offline business person for over two decades and if I've learned nothing else in my career .. I've learned these 4 Key Principles to Success! I believe in these 4 principles with all my heart, and practice them in my life on a DAILY basis .. I hope you will too - 

                                                MY 4 KEY PRINCIPLES FOR SUCCESS 

KEY PRINCIPLE #1: FOCUS - 

Stay focused on your business. Don't be a "rabbit." .. "Rabbits" are what I call people who "hop" from opportunity to opportunity. If you constantly change the opportunities you join / market, you will ruin your reputation. People will think you're unreliable and indecisive .. "hare"(get it? Hare /rabbit :) today .. Gone tomorrow   You need to build your reputation on a solid platform of stability, integrity, and reliability ..People will recognize these qualities and want to join you based on attraction and because you present yourself as being rock solid!

KEY PRINCIPLE #2: 
CONSISTENCY -

Without doubt, one of the (if not the biggest) biggest problems I see regarding why people don't make money online is because they think all they have to do is advertise their business now and then, and money will simply fall from the sky "automatically" This is COMPLETE NONSENSE and THERE'S NOTHING FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH!! 

The most successful and profitable online marketers, and entrepreneurs work their business on a consistent basis!  Each and Every day successful people are doing something to promote and / or work their business(s) period! There are, and can be no exceptions to this "rule" 

I'm not saying you have to put in 8 hours per day every day ..if you can only work your business 3-4 days per week so be it BUT make sure you're putting in maximum effort and not just going through the motions like the lazy, unsuccessful people are .. You know, the people that do nothing for themselves yet always complain because they are failing?  Imagine if large Fortune 500's only advertised their business  "once in a while" Do you think they'd be in business very long or capture the name branding, the reputation and the success they've had for decades!! ABSOLUTELY NOT! Why would you plan your success on anything less and be foolish enough to expect BIG results from minimum efforts? GET OUT THERE AND MAKE IT HAPPEN!  If you don't, your competition will!

KEY PRINCIPLE #3: PERSISTENCE - DON'T and NEVER GIVE UP! 

This is one of the things that genuinely baffles me.... People want to be successful yet they don't want to put in the effort / work required to make their dreams of success a reality! HUH? 

I've been an online marketer for 20+ years and recently I've seen a "new breed" of marketer emerging ..  Lazy ones that think it's "enough" to join some "get rich quick" system, advertise for a few days and wait for money to drop in to their laps .. Typically, these "lazy people"  quickly fail, and give up ... The strangest part about these people is that when they fail, they then turn around and blame everyone / everything else for THEIR failure! Complete Insanity! 

The ABSOLUTE TRUTH is that EVERYONE who is successful (even the so-called "overnight successes") has worked, and worked, and worked to become that way! It doesn't just happen!  YOU need to make up your mind and CHOOSE if you're going to work your business on a consistent basis or not .. Success is entirely up to you .. SO DON'T GIVE UP!

KEY PRINCIPLE #4: DETERMINATION - 


Become, Be, and Stay determined that you are going to succeed NO MATTER WHAT!
There will be good days, and not so good days and sometimes, we have to dig "deep" to keep going. But, that's what real winners do. Remember, "WINNERS NEVER LOSE AND LOSERS NEVER WIN"

Excuse's .. the Mantra of LOSERS!

Hello Internet ... 

Are you familiar with people (or are you one of them?) who think and talk like this? 

"I can't make good money blah blah blah...." 

"I'm not the type of person who can make money." 

I believe most of you have heard these types of people and / or you are one! If you are a negative person, It's BAD mental programming and HAS TO GO!

Think about it...

Who taught you to think like that in the first place?

Were / Are they successful in life?

Have they achieved success / living their dreams?

Of course they aren't! 

They were / are people who have been taught to think negatively and watch life from the sidelines! All they've EVER done is live an "average"and do the bare minimum ... The advice they gave you is the pure garbage! Throw it out!

Only YOU can change your programming!!

If you want success, you MUST STOP being the one who sabotages your own success based on what "they" told you about yourself! Never take advice from anyone who isn't where you want to be in business or life! How can anyone who
hasn't "been there" themselves, tell you how to get there? They can't - Period!

Water seeks it's own level - hang around losers and you'll be one too! Associate with WINNERS and the World can / will be yours for the taking!

SEO is no longer a math problem, it’s a human one.

Designing  a website without the proper SEO (search engine optimization) is like buying a Ferrari with no engine .. Looks great in the driveway but it doesn't move ................
The old math of increased back links and stuffing keywords is DEAD and is now just fodder for Google to identify your website and then BURY it in the search results... Simply old school methods that DON'T WORK anymore! 
SEO is no longer a math problem, it’s a human one.  Social indicators are becoming key to ranking and link algorithms are being retired. It’s time for you to see / learn the truth about SEO and how to adjust your online efforts accordingly. 
Below are just some of the things you should and NEED to be doing on a Daily, Weekly, Monthly basis  to get yourself noticed and ranked ....
  • Manual directory submissions .. 
  • Article Submissions (5 unique article content *20 article directories)
  • At least 1 Press release, 400+ words written
  • PDF File Creation & Submission
  • PPT File Creation & Submission
  • Blog Creation and Posting
  • Blog Optimization
  • Facebook Business Page Creation
  • Twitter channel Creation
  • Increase twitter followers
  • Increase likes, shares, tweets, reddits, and +1 in order to get natural backlinks
  • Anchor text diversity (DO NoT not use exact keywords for backlinks).
  • Find /  get Natural backlinks from link worthy articles

If you aren't doing some (or all) of these things on a regular basis, you're just wasting your time .. Forget those idiots trying to sell you search engine submissions / back-links, etc ....it's nothing but GARBAGE and things your can easily learn to and do for and by yourself! 
I hope this small SEC "lesson" has helped you .. I know learning all these things sounds "difficult" but it's really not that hard once you apply yourself but, if you need motivation, keep reminding yourself that learning these things will make your marketing more effective & in turn will ultimately make you MORE MONEY! 
If you need help, guidance, advice, etc .. never hesitate to reach out to me .. I'm always happy to do what I can - 
Remember ... 
Stay Positive ...
Stay Inspired ...
Stay Motivated ...
And NEVER give up your dreams!
