We’re one full week into 2016, are you at full speed ahead yet?
I’ve always believed that awareness is half or more of the battle
towards success, in many ways.
For example, if you aren’t aware that you’re doing something
inefficiently, you’ll never become more productive.
If you’re not aware that your audience is on Facebook, and you’re
advertising on Google, you’re throwing much of your money away.
And so many other examples are out there.
And you often hear the motto “What gets tracked gets better”.
I also like to tweak numbers a lot in my spare time when I’m at a loss
about what else to do.
So I’ve done a couple exercises the last couple weeks. In one, I asked
myself how I could increase my income by $100,000 this year, and I
have some definite ideas about several ways to do that.
What makes the goal seem more reasonable is the numbers. For example,
one way would be to add just 166 new members to Earn1KaDay over the
course of the year.
Or set up some type of coaching program and find just 86 members at
$97/month.
Or 308 members at $27/month.
Or go more high-ticket, and sell just 337 copies of a $297 course,
fewer than one copy per day.
Or do all 4 and the numbers for each can be sliced into quarters.
That makes it seem so simple, right?
Other numbers which I have tracked virtually forever have been my
income from various sources, like my Nanacast platform, affiliate
sales from various sources, expenses, etc.
But yesterday I thought it might be productive to put the main numbers
up on my big whiteboard, and track them month by month, where it could
be more easily noticed if something starts to degrade, and thus make
me aware, and thus more quickly take action to do something about it.
I think it also causes my competitive instincts to come forward when I
see that I made $XXXX last month in a certain way, and my subconscious
will try to beat that number this month, and next month, and so on.
I talked in 5 Bucks a Day about the post it note on my printer,
remember, and how that helped things. I still have that note, and it
still is effective. I think having more numbers on my whiteboard,
which is just to the right of where I work at the computer, will do
the same thing, magnified many times.
Later this year, I’ll try to remember to report the results to you.
What gets tracked gets better.
I urge you to do something similar.

Remember, there’s a special section in the forum called “Special
Offers (By Authors), where members offer their products at a special
price to members.
I’d rather not highlight each one individually, so that this email
doesn’t start looking like a classified ad section, but sometimes you
can get some nice bargains and support your forum friends, so please
remember to check it out next time you drop by the forum:

Reminder: If you’re new to Earn1KaDay, or didn’t remember this, all
the weekly emails, from the beginning of time, are archived on the
blog here:

If you ever miss an email, or want to check the archives, you can
always go there and do a search.
Another reminder: I get asked (a lot) about the affiliate program
to Earn1KaDay. A thread was set up long ago with details, here:

That’s just a short review of some of the highlights, there is much
more going on all the time at the forum. Don’t be a stranger there,
that’s where the primary value of your membership is, after all.
We’re not there to chat so much (though there is a lounge there if you
want to unwind), we’re there to learn from each other, and share with
each other, and as you can see from the above sample threads, there’s
a lot of that happening.

Until next week, I wish you the very best in everything.
