"I Can See Clearly Now...."

Yesterday was a tough day for me both personally and professionally. Without getting into the drama of what happen, its fair to say that I learned a tough lesson - people don't always work with the same set of morals or standards as I do.

I suppose that is a good thing. If everybody worked the same way, what would motivate us? What would challenge us and push us to be better? Deep down inside, I know this but for some reason, it still stings.

Lately, I have been so consumed in the negative drama that goes on within this industry. It started to define how I spent my days. I have been lacking on the important things such as taking time to spend with my family and taking time to strengthen my relationship with Christ through prayer.

It's that time of year again when we go over in our minds and hearts what we'd like to change in the new year. Many resolutions are spoken and promised but most fall short of keeping those promises past the end of January.  For the last couple of years now, I stopped making resolutions, simply because I knew I wouldn't stick to them. It seems I set myself up to fail before even trying.

In the new year, I choose not to use the word resolution again, however, I choose to challenge myself to be all that I can be.

That means that I no longer can hide behind my insecurities and fears and use them as a crutch or excuse not to be successful in 2013. It means that I will literally physically push myself out of my comfort zone and face my fears head on with faith, courage and trust that God is holding my hand. I will no longer lower myself into the drama and pettiness of others both online and offline. I will challenge myself to find Christ-like patience and love with others, even when they hurt me.

But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. Matthew 5:39
  
In 2013, don't make promises to lose weight, stop smoking, exercise more. While all those are great goals and resolutions, you and I both know that they will be forgotten about before the month is over. If you wanted to accomplish any of those resolutions and I mean REALLY accomplish them, then you would. We wait until New Years Eve and say them out loud because it's what we are supposed to do.

Throw away the preconceived notion that if you don't accomplish your goals, you must wait until next year to reach them. 

My challenge to you is that you make the choice to be all that you can be NOW.

My request from you is that if you see me slipping, redirect me back to this post and remind me to straighten up.

This post was all over the map, however, that's usually how my brain works lately so if you read this far, thank you. I wish you a very, very Merry Christmas from my family to yours. However you choose to celebrate this season, may your heart be filled with peace and love. 

Here's to 2013 being a prosperous, challenging, fulfilling year!

The Big Red "That Was Easy" Button Doesn't Exist

I keep reading negative messages from people complaining about Click Track Profit and how they don't make money from it. When I ask them what they are doing with CTP they simply reply "surfing". I think there is a rather large misunderstanding on just what Click Track Profit actually is.

Yes, here are opportunities within CTP to make money by surfing. You surf and can collect badges and fill game cards and maybe spin the cash wheel. You can also collect money badges. Heck, you can even upgrade and promote CTP and get referrals and if they upgrade, you earn 50% commissions.

While all of this is extremely cool and fun, if you are just surfing to collect badges, then, I hate to break it to you,  that is all you are going to get out of CTP. Badges.

The badges are meant to add to fun to surfing. It's meant to be used as an incentive to keep people surfing. A rather genius idea by the owners, if you ask me. Collecting badges is fun and addictive. It also serves to the idea that we as a society today crave that instant gratification. Collect all the game pieces and badges we need makes us feel good.

That is the idea behind the badges. That's it. They are not meant to make you rich. So if you have the paid to click mentality then you probably won't get much out of Click Track Profit.

The REAL "nugget" in CTP is the training. I am willing to bet that 90% of the people complaining about how they don't make money with CTP have not watched one training video. If they had watched the training videos then they would have known this already.

While I can understand that Click Track Profit is not meant for everybody or even that sometimes "now" is not the right time for some people, I cannot understand how someone joins a program and refuses to use it to its full potential, then turn around and trash it in the chat rooms.

Do the training. Learn what the program is all about. THEN make a decision or give your opinion. Until then, it's best to keep quiet.

That is my rant of the day!

Good Things On The Horizon!

At the risk of losing momentum with this blog, I will simply state that I haven't forgotten about it. I have been a little distracted. I am working on something that I think is going to be pretty amazing with a friend. Stay tuned.....

Until next time,

Excuse Me, May I Have Some Water?

What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

James 2:14-17

It is unimaginable to me to think that there are people on this earth who, in 2012, with all the technology and industrial advances that we have at our finger tips, still do not have the most basic fundamental necessities. Something as simple as a clean glass of water. 

Yet here we are in 2012. I lay in bed on my laptop watching my flat screen television, my daughter is on the floor playing with her pile of toys, clothed, warm and fed. Two cars are in my drive way. My mortgage is paid for this month.Yet I dare say that I am lacking things in my life. I do say it. I'll admit in times of weakness and self absorption I will say "I am poor". I am far from poor. I will stop myself next time I go to say anything remotely close to that again.

Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’

Matthew 25:44-45

What I am about to say next SHOULD actually make your jaw drop. What I am about to say SHOULD feel like someone has punched you in the stomach. It should enrage you to the point that you are moved to do something. Brace yourself. Please.

3.4 million people die each year from water related diseases. 

 780 million people lack access to clean water.

Read those numbers again and try to understand that magnitude and seriousness of them. Now look around you. Forget about not having the latest iPhone or latest gaming console. Forget about not having high speed internet or the latest fashion trends hanging in your closet. Forget about the take out we order way too often. Imagine all of it gone. Imagine not being able to have one simple glass of clean water.

You can't, can you? Me either. 

Lack of access to clean water and sanitation kills children at a rate equivalent of a jumbo jet crashing every four hours.

I am writing this blog to make you feel guilty. The truth is, we SHOULD feel guilty. There is no way to justify watching our brothers and sisters suffer. Are we all bad people? No. But we are jaded with our everyday life and forget that we are truly blessed. 

Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

Galatians 6:2

Jon Olson and the folks at Tim Tech have come up with an amazing program called Traffic Exchange Cares. 

http://mycharitywater.org/tecare6

It is a foundation where 100 % of the proceeds go directly to clean water projects in developing nations. By clicking the website above you can see exactly where each dollar goes. The villages it helps. And the amazing contribution these guys have made with collecting donations already. 

From what I understand, this project is far from complete in the eyes of Tim Tech. They have no desire to slow down. In fact, with each dollar they receive in donations just motivates them to push harder and promote more. And it should. When you see the good your effort and hard work is doing in this world, how can it not motivate you?

Today, Traffic Exchange Cares reached its goal $1000. WHICH IS AMAZING! But does that mean that we pack up and stop donating? Absolutely not. Reaching their goal I'm sure was an amazing feeling but hearing that they did that motivated me to write this blog. To spread the word. And next week when I have some extra money not tied in bills, I will be donating. You can hold me to that because it's in writing.

I urge you to dig deep in your pockets and even if it is just a couple of dollars, those dollars add up. My grandfather used to say "Take care of your pennies and after awhile your dollars will take care of themselves"

If 10,000 people gave $5 that's $50,000! Can you imagine how many clean wells and pumps that $50,000 could provide?

I urge you to promote this link. Send it to your friends and spread the message.

Give what you can and don't stop giving.

Until next time,

So Much Excitement

It's an exciting time around the traffic exchanges. Summer has come and gone and next comes fall and winter (in case this is your first time learning the seasons! :0)) So what does that mean? Well, it means that it is going to start getting cold. It means that people are going to be staying in. It means that people will be on their computers more. It means that YOU have the opportunity to show your website to thousands of new prospects! That, my friends, is what our goal is, isn't it?

Yes. It is.

So, my suggestion to you is that you get a jump start. Get into Click Track Profit, work on your training, learn to brand yourself and GET YOUR FACE OUT THERE!

Now is a good time to load up on credits also. And if you can, purchase some upgrades and start promoting your exchange affiliate links because it's also the time to start pounding new people into your downlines.

This time of the year may be cold here in Canada but man oh man is it ever exciting!

Cheers,

First time blogger! Nervous & Excited!

Hopefully it won't be too painfully obvious that I am a first time blogger. Well, to be fair, I have started blogs in the past but always find myself staring aimlessly at my screen trying to find words. The self realization or fear that I have nothing interesting to say always took over and scared me off and my blogs would just get lost somewhere in cyber space.

But this time I am determined to succeed!

I was recently told that in order to have successful blog I must first find something I am passionate about. Something that I love to talk about. Something that I am knowledgeable in.

I have recently discovered a program called Click Track Profit and ultimately decided that this blog will geared towards my interest in that program. I am passionate about it. A program I believe in. And while I may not be the most knowledgeable, it is my hope that while creating and writing this blog, I continue to learn and grow within Click Track Profit. One of the best parts about this program is that if you work the program for what it is, you inevitably will grow.

Let me be clear, this blog is not in anyway a means to sell you, the reader, anything. But hopefully there will be other CTP users, old and new, who can participate in this blog with comments, suggestions and new ideas.

My ulimate goal for this blog is to create somewhat of a guide for Click Track Profit. Something to help walk you through step by step and teach you the ropes. Teach you lessons I have learned and continue to learn everyday. And ultimately teach you how to succeed with Click Track Profit.

So my next step is to figure out just how I am going to put all of this together. I am winging it because I find when I try to polish things or make them perfect, I end up ruining them which I believe is what was the fundamental reason my previous blogs failed. I want this blog, this guide, this process, to be genuine.

Until next time.
:-)
