<p><strong><span style="font-size: 16px">My name is Brigitte Mehr&#8230;..<img align="right" alt="" height="170" src="http://brigittemehr.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/image/Facebook.JPG" width="150" /></span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12px">On this page you are going to discover exactly how&nbsp;I can help you and your internet business &#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12px">&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 12px">No matter what&nbsp;your business might be, or if you are looking to strike out on your own for the first time then keep on reading because here in 2010 there are 3 crucial elements you need to have to make that success a reality.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12px">&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 12px">We now live in the age of the internet which means that in the space of just a few short years the whole world has truly become a global market place accessible from almost everyones home.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12px">We also live in a new economy where everything we previously held true about our security and livlihoods has been challenged to the core.&nbsp;&nbsp; <span id="more-2261"></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12px">Yet within this new framework the smart marketers are succeeding as never before, this truly is the age of the internet business.&nbsp; Where for the first time we get to choose our lives and take back the responsibility for ourselves.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: 16px">&nbsp;<object height="303" width="480"><embed allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" height="303" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fOZ5hvd4VqY&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;fs=1?rel=0&amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;color2=0x6b8ab6&amp;border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480"></embed></object></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: 16px">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: 16px"><span style="font-size: 18px"><strong>Just think about it&#8230;&#8230;</strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px"><span style="font-size: 12px">Until a few years ago if you had a business you used to get customers by advertising in maybe the local newspapers, TV, radio, magazines, word of mouth, telephone sales, hosting meetings, handing out flyers.&nbsp; All effective in their day but none of them with a global reach, none of them using time leverage and none of them inexpensive.&nbsp;</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px"><span style="font-size: 12px">Even if you had a home based business you still relied on &#39;old school&#39; marketing methods such as pitching family and friends, phoning leads, handing out flyers and literature, hosting home parties and meetings.&nbsp; all of which&nbsp;were and are&nbsp;time consuming, expensive and not efficient and often not successful. I now how sould destroyingly useless these methods are because I have been there!</span></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: 16px"><span style="font-size: 18px"><strong>&#39;Old School&#39; Marketing&nbsp;is at best inefficient and at worst totally useless! Yet&#8230; so many MLM and Network marketing companies STILL use these methods!</strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px"><span style="font-size: 12px">Business today is completely different&#8230;but the problem is that the majority of MLM &amp; network Marketing companies have not realised this yet or if they have they are burying their head in the sands because those few at the top stand to lose too much if they accept change.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px"><span style="font-size: 12px">Did you know that 97%, yes 97% of people who start a home based business in NM or MLM fail?&nbsp; Well, I am not really in a position to speak for you but having been there myself I can tell you I have no intention of ever falling into that trap again.&nbsp; I&#39;m now with the 3% at the other side:)</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px"><span style="font-size: 12px">Now think about the business world we live in today we can advertise to the global marketplace, we can have our advertising working 24 hours per day 7 days per week whilst we are doing other things.&nbsp; We can work from our own homes providing we have a computer and telephone.</span></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: 16px"><span style="font-size: 18px"><strong>Welcome to 2010 the age of leverage and the internet.</strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px"><span style="font-size: 12px">This is the era where having the skills to successfully promote your business on the internet is like having gold currency.&nbsp;</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px"><span style="font-size: 12px">These are the new skills that the successful marketers of today have mastered and continue to master &#8211; the internet is a living breathing dynamic organism which is constantly evolving and changing and to stay on top you have to keep up with the latest trends, methods and strategies.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px"><span style="font-size: 12px">So, <strong>step number 1</strong> is having the best Marketing Education &amp; Training money can buy.</span></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: 18px"><strong>Step No.2 Is &#8230;.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px"><span style="font-size: 12px">You need to create &amp; own a unique brand and the most valuable one anyone can create is YOU Inc.&nbsp; Learning to brand yourself is the most valuable brand you can ever own and you will quite simply have the ability to be able to sell anythng to anyone, anywhere in the world.&nbsp; It does not matter what products you sell because it is YOU who others are following.</span></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><strong><span style="font-size: 18px">Enter Step No. 3</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px"><span style="font-size: 12px">You have learned how to sell and are positioned as a brand yourself, &nbsp;so at this point products are needed.&nbsp; However, we no longer want to fall into the trap of selling vitamins at $30 commission &#8211; do the math and work out exactly how many pots this takes to earn over $1,000 &#8211; a lot and a whole lot of effort.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px"><span style="font-size: 12px">You need products that are valuable to others and valuable to yourself.&nbsp; Top tier direct sales is where you need to be.&nbsp; this is where you can potentially earn anything from several hundred dollars to several thousand dollars &nbsp;per&nbsp;single sale.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px"><span style="font-size: 12px">Internet business today is about using leverage, this is about creating somethiing that money cannot buy &#8211; Your time.&nbsp; What would you be rather doing spending hours working trying to earn a few measly dollars of spending less time earning hundreds or thousands of dollars and having the time to be doing what you really wannt to be doing?</span></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: 16px"><span style="font-size: 18px"><strong>Here at Carbon Copy Pro we quite simply do&nbsp;all 3&nbsp;(and we do it better than anyone else)&#8230;</strong></span></span></p>

<p style="text-align: center"><strong><span style="font-size: 14px">To become an Entrepreneur you have to&nbsp;take responsibility for your actions, learn to think for yourself and learn for yourself&nbsp;&amp; see&nbsp;things through no matter what..</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px">Are you the type of person who prefers to be told what to do and when to do it; never looks to start a project on their own and see it through no matter what; prefers to be looked after by everyone but yourself and to listen to the advice and opinions of others rather than having ones of your own?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px">Yes?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px">Stop reading this right now&#8230;.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px">I&nbsp;would never have &#39;labelled&#39; myself as an entrepreneur but looking back on it this is what I have always been. My mindset has always been that I have always been a goal setter and have been prepared to learn whatever it took for me to get there. I have always had my own thoughts/opinions/feelings &#8211; even if it made me unpopular with others; I have always had a desire to be doing bigger and better and going places even though I might not have known at the outset how&nbsp;I was going to get there.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px">In the world we live in today our minds and decisions are constantly being eroded away into a zombie like state that means it is easy for the government and powers that be to control us as a sleeping mass. So many decisions are taken from us that many people have actually forgotten what it tis like to make one and often would feel quite uncomfortable having to make one. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px">So, if you want to break out of your bonds and truly make a difference to yourself and&nbsp;<a href="http://brigittemehr.com/you-are-the-magician-in-your-life/">create&nbsp;magic in your life</a>,&nbsp;the first thing you need to work on is yourself.&nbsp; The world is a place of limitless possibilities once you remove the limits you have right now.&nbsp; The age of the Internet &amp; <a href="http://www.marketingforonlinesuccess.com">Online&nbsp;Business</a> Entrepreneur is here to stay and if YOU are willing to change how you see yourself and your beliefs about yourself and to learn whatever it takes to be successful then you will be successful.</span></p>

<p>How heavily invested are you in your life and home business and what is your level of commitment to success?</p>
<p>This might sound like a pretty obvious and silly question BUT unless you are heavily invested emotionally, physically and financially you will struggle to succeed. Why?</p>
<p>Well, until you invest all your emotions, feelings and efforts into any project you are not fully engaged in making it a success. Just consider your relationships, hobbies and friendships. If your energy and emotions are not fully engaged then the results will not be as successful, fulfilling or rewarding as they could be.</p>
<p>Most people just cruise along in a comfort zone.  They might wish they had more or better but that wish alone is not enough to spur them into action to change.  As humans we get comfortable where we are at and moving out of this zone is something that can make most feel &#8216;uncomfortable&#8217;. We naturally pull back from moving out of our comfort zones and generally prefer the life and routine where things happen with a certain routine and predictability.   When we do push ourselves our subconcious is screaming STOP stay here it&#8217;s ok it’s safe!</p>
<p>As we continue to push through the tension increases as does the level of discomfort, so do you throw in the towel or do you dig in your heels and become even more determined to move forwards?  Entrepreneurs have the mindset that there is far more to be lost in not pushing these boundaries and in doing so they open themselves up to periods of huge growth.  Serious entrepreneurs are willing to challenge themselves and to push their boundaries to the limits and beyond so that each time they do this they are redefined. They do not settle for being just &#8216;comfortable&#8217; they know they are capable of more and accept and welcome the feelings of discomfort as a necessary part of growth. They work their home business as a true &#8216;business&#8217; and show commitment, drive, and dedication.</p>
<p>That’s not to say that this is an easy process because once you have stretched yourself way out of your comfort zone there can be an overwhelming desire to slide back to where you were.  This is why this process is the one that separates the successful from the unsuccessful and by committing to change and following this commitment with massive action no matter what we will succeed.<br />
The level of financial commitment in a home based business will also determine your level of financial success providing of course that you have the other essential elements of good education, training, mentor and proven business model  in place.  Remember, there are none of the usual expenses such as rent, insurance, staff and inventory in a home based business so running costs are low once the initial start up has been paid. Profitability can be as high as 80% with a proven business model so it makes good business sense to be positioned as high as possible so that you can take full advantage of the compensation plan.  This is the point where the feelings of financial discomfort begin to show.</p>
<p>If positioning yourself at the top is a financial stretch just remember, the higher your level of &#8216;discomfort&#8217; the higher your propensity for growth (both financial and personal).  There is nothing quite like the prospect of financial failure or impending poverty to kick you up the ass and make you all the more determined to succeed.</p>
<p>By pushing forwards through the pain and discomfort we reach a &#8216;snap&#8217; point just like an elastic band reaching full stretch. This point is the make or break point that will sort out the &#8216;winner&#8217; from the &#8216;losers&#8217;.  Some will allow the recoil to bring them back to where they were and some will stretch it just that tiny bit further until it snaps.</p>
<p>The &#8216;snap&#8217; point is that moment when we realise all the pain, hardship and effort was worth it and we know that we can and will do it again.  It is where we come out at the other side with totally redefined boundaries.  We are a different stronger and more aware person than we were when we were cruising along in comfort zone.</p>
<p>This characteristic is what makes entrepreneurs different, they constantly stretch and redefine their boundaries to new levels.  Each time this happens their boundaries are redefined to new levels as they constantly make the seemingly impossible possible.<br />
Then they begin all over again because their new view and level begins bit by bit to stretch all over again.</p>

<p>Over the last 14 years I have been blessed with having a career I absolutely loved.  I have been a Complementary Therapist &#038; tutor.  So I spent my days with clients doing Massage, Aromatherapy, Reflexology, Hot Stones Massage to name a few treatments.  I also spent a couple of days each week lecturing at a local college.  If I could inspire just a few students to have half of the enthusiasm I had for my career then my time had been well spent.  I always say that if I can make a difference to just 1 person per week then my efforts have been worthwhile.<br />
However, as time goes by you begin to question how you can make your life easier &#038; more comfortable &#038; set new goals to help to move you forward &#038; grow.  I did just this less than 2 years ago &#038; found my way to Internet Marketing &#038; Coaching &#038; found a company that not only had the same philosophies, values  &#038; outlook to life as myself,  but also gave me the opportunity to do more of what I loved â€“ helping others to become what they deserve to be. It also afforded me the opportunity to grow as a person into who I truly am.<br />
However, I still loved the face to face interaction with students so kept a few hours teaching at college.  Yesterday January 5th was the first day back from the Christmas holiday &#038; as usual I got up &#038; went to work with the usual enthusiasm very happy to be there.  Then as the day wore on a dawning that had begun to break a few months earlier began to build in my mind.<br />
Some of these students did not want to learn they did not care &#038; they did not want to take responsibility for themselves to make something of their lives.  They were expecting the college &#038; me to â€˜spoon feedâ€™ them so that they did not even have to think for themselves.  The commitment to their studies &#038; their future &#038; even to themselves was non existent in some cases.  Once qualified, they hope to fall into a â€˜jobâ€™ where they would not really have to work at or give anything back to.  In short some were going to take a free ride &#038; give nothing back or be victims of life.  The blame would never lie with them but always with someone else.<br />
I cannot help thinking that in some way they are not wrong.  As society works today we are not given the dignity of making many our own choices &#038; with a welfare state to â€˜catchâ€™ people as they fall there is a great lack of incentive for many to try.  Some parents do not instill values in their children &#038; we are not taught in school how to be accountable to ourselves or how to assume that responsibility &#038; how to give back.  They lead to the breeding of irresponsible, selfish young adults with low self esteem who contribute little of value to their society.<br />
 As an entrepreneur I take responsibility for my actions, I make myself accountable, I surround myself with like minded people who inspire me &#038; who make me reach even higher.  Gone are the days of settling for 2nd or even 3rd best, this is no longer acceptable to me.  I have the choice to surround myself with people who make me feel great &#038; inspire me, people who add something to my life or people who try to drag me down.  Guess who I choose?<br />
So, the upshot of the epiphany I had yesterday afternoon was that I quit &#038; do you know what â€“ I felt on top of the world &#038; totally elated.<br />
I chose to take responsibility for who I am &#038; what I do &#038; who I mix with.  I do not need some other â€˜unseenâ€™ authority taking my decisions for me &#038; I do not need a group of negative, irresponsible, unaccountable people robbing me of my hard earned positivity &#038; success.<br />
So, from now on I surround myself with other similar people who also think &#038; act as I do &#038; who strive to make not only our own lives richer but that of others too by making a positive contribution &#038; paying back.<br />
2009 Is already an exceptional year &#038; it is only going to get better!</p>
