HOW TO HIT THAT TARGET
Each individual have their own targets. This boils
down to the priority of individual. These are few steps to “HIT” your target
e.g “TO MAKE A MILLION”
1. It's never been easier.
It has never been easier, so don’t make it so difficult. There is
so much money in the world today and so many ways to get yourself known. The
first thing you have to know is that it’s out there and it’s not that hard. In
fact, everyone will be a millionaire in their lifetime: #50,000 per year times
20 years equals #1million.
2. Saving won’t do.
The old idea of saving every penny is not the way today. Save to
invest and don’t see saving as property. Savings is never an investment but a
means. You can’t simply save your way to the first million without becoming
old, at which point the money probably won’t matter to you.
3. Live below your means.
Live below the money you are making. Not because you are depriving
yourself, but because you are seeking to bank millions. No one has ever done
business with me because of the suit I wear, the watch I have on my
wrist or the shoe I put on. Live below your means until you don’t have to
anymore. Time will take you out at the end.
4. Mature from income to investor.
The way to get rich is to make investments, but you can’t do that
if your income doesn’t allow for you to set aside money to invest. The only
reason to make and save money is so that you can invest it. Only invest money
in projects you know will score and never give up your income.
5. Start acting like a boss.
Quit acting poor and quit acting like you are a spectator. Boss up
in everything. When the Bill comes for dinner, boss up. When you have to invest
money to get information, buy a list, grow your brand or learn to sell.
You need to write the cheque like a boss, not like a little whiner.
6. Automate a pay-yourself-first program.
Set up with your employer to pay yourself to a savings account so
that you have money deposited each month before you get a cheque to pay your
bills and live your life. This is one thing I started doing when I was 20 years
old that kept me "broke" without money to lose or waste and
forced me to continue to hustle. When you have enough money at hand, you will
assume that you have hit your target. This is the step that will make number
five possible.
7. Be in a hurry.
Be the hare, the turtle and the millionaire! The only thing
that comes to those that are patient are the crumbs left behind by those in a
hurry, but do not be carried away. Be wise, know when to apply caution. It is
like man driving and hurrying somewhere, at a time he has to apply break and
later on then accelerate.
8. Do the millionaire math.
Do the math on what it takes to hit a million. If you make #50,000
a year and can figure out how to put away 40 percent of it (that is my
saving target) it will take you 50 years times #20,000 per year to get there.
If you don’t do your math you won’t get there because you won’t have the right
mindset. Math is a universal language. And if you can invest
9. Do not diversify on an unknown field.
I know the diversification concept is popular, but it’s wrong to
diversify on something you don’t know about. It is even advisable to streamline
your field. If you are going to bank a million before you are old and tired you
need to pick something you believe in and know it's going to work and go all
in.
10. Seek multiple flows.
If you don’t get multiple flows happening you will never create
financial freedom. Don’t confuse number 10 with multiple flows. These are
not conflicts -- have parallel flows going. Don’t make your first flow
disconnected, make it similar so that it takes less energy and less
resources. Make all the income stream channels an interwoven one i.e. a link-able channel.
WHICH YOU ALL THE BEST!!!!!!

NEW WRITER SCHOLARSHIP 2015
Announcing the Build Your Own Blog New Writer Scholarship 2015
Are you a student with ambitions to become a writer? Or perhaps you’re more advanced in age yet still dream about sharing your writing passion with others.
Whatever your story, this opportunity could be your big break.
We’re looking for a talented writer to support through theNew Writer Scholarship 2015
The scholarship award is $4,000.
Whatever your story, this opportunity could be your big break.
Who can participate?
- Anyone at least 16 years of age.
- Your submitted work (Short story/Poem/Blog post/Any written material you are proud of) cannot be published earlier as part of a printed book (a “book” is defined as having an ISBN), and your submission has not been submitted to any other printed material that may publish this same work).
- If you piece has been posted on a blog/website, you must include a page URL where the piece can be found online.
- The work must be in English (Your country of residence can be anywhere.)
- Only single individuals can apply. Submissions from a team of two or more will not be accepted.
* You can submit your work to other future competitions/scholarships once the winner is announced. We don’t have any right over your submitted work, nor will we publish it without your consent.
Your work can be written specifically for this scholarship or can already exist – it doesn’t matter! The important thing is that you have a desire to share your masterpiece with others.
*Please note that we reserve the right to disqualify participants that engage in unlawful or fraudulent behavior.
Here’s how it works:
You have until Nov 29, 2015 to submit your work using the form below.
The winner will be announced on December 23, 2015.
Who am I?
My name is Matthew Loomis and I’ve been a blogger, copywriter and ghostwriter for more than 10 years. In the past 3 years I have been helping many new writers build their own blog (a.k.a. online platform) and I have noticed something–the hardest step for a writer is to get noticed.
Everyone needs some help in the beginning. A little encouragement goes a long way.
For me, there were some key people who did provide that guidance and inspiration early in my writing career.
So I decided to “pay it forward” so to speak and do the same for others.
That’s why I want to give $4000 to someone who already has a flame of desire to be a professional writer and could benefit from someone coming along to stoke their fire.
This scholarship is for a budding writer who needs someone to believe in them.
I don’t mind if you want to write a poem, a short story or even your first blog post. A writer writes from their soul and the form of the writing can be done in many ways—whatever form you prefer.
Here is What Will Be Awarded
The winner will receive $4,000 via paypal/check/direct deposit.
FAQ:
What rights will you have over my work?
None. The only right we reserve is to publish the work that wins the Scholarship on BuildYourOwnBlog.net
Can I send more than one work?
Each participant can submit only one written work. Please share your best.
Who selects the winning work?
There is a team of writers and experts that will go over the applications to create a “short list” of the best work, and Matthew will then select the winner from the finalists.
What do you mean when you say “new writer” Do you mean “young”?
You can be 80 years old with zero published works. NEW means anyone wanting to become recognized for their writing ability and those who yearn for new opportunities to write for publication. We won’t automatically discard an application from someone who has years of experience, but we are not looking for published writers. Instead, we hope the applicants will be people with little to no published works, or those who have a blog lacking visitors. A general example of an ideal candidate would be someone retired from factory work and now they want to try out that writing habit kept secret for years. That is just one example. If you know your writing deserves more recognition, you are likely a good candidate.

WRITING A BUSINESS PLAN
What is a business plan?
A business plan is a written description of your business's future, a document that tells what you plan to do and how you plan to do it. If you jot down a paragraph on the back of an envelope describing your business strategy, you've written a plan, or at least the germ of a plan.
Now that you understand why you need a business plan and you've spent some time doing your homework gathering the information you need to create one, it's time to roll up your sleeves and get everything down on paper. The following pages will describe in detail the seven essential sections of a business plan: what you should include, what you shouldn't include, how to work the numbers and additional resources you can turn to for help. With that in mind, jump right in.
Executive Summary
Within the overall outline of the business plan, the executive summary will follow the title page. The summary should tell the reader what you want. This is very important. All too often, what the business owner desires is buried on page eight. Clearly state what you're asking for in the summary.
Business Description
The business description usually begins with a short description of the industry. When describing the industry, discuss the present outlook as well as future possibilities. You should also provide information on all the various markets within the industry, including any new products or developments that will benefit or adversely affect your business.
Market Strategies
Market strategies are the result of a meticulous market analysis. A market analysis forces the entrepreneur to become familiar with all aspects of the market so that the target market can be defined and the company can be positioned in order to garner its share of sales.
Competitive Analysis
The purpose of the competitive analysis is to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the competitors within your market, strategies that will provide you with a distinct advantage, the barriers that can be developed in order to prevent competition from entering your market, and any weaknesses that can be exploited within the product development cycle.
Design & Development Plan
The purpose of the design and development plan section is to provide investors with a description of the product's design, chart its development within the context of production, marketing and the company itself, and create a development budget that will enable the company to reach its goals.
Operations & Management Plan
The operations and management plan is designed to describe just how the business functions on a continuing basis. The operations plan will highlight the logistics of the organization such as the various responsibilities of the management team, the tasks assigned to each division within the company, and capital and expense requirements related to the operations of the business.
Financial Factors
Financial data is always at the back of the business plan, but that doesn't mean it's any less important than up-front material such as the business concept and the management team.

WHY NOT MAKE IT REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FINANCIAL ERRORS OF ENTREPRENEURS
1. Empty bank accounts
"As entrepreneurs, we tend
to be really bad at hanging onto cash. As soon as there is some money in the
bank, we are constantly reinvesting in our companies. While this has great ROI
potential, it leaves us vulnerable to shifts in the marketplace. Keeping cash
is like having insurance against life ... you just don't know what's going to
happen in your business or personal life that may require you to have cash on
hand, but you will be very thankful you had it when that time comes."
2. Spending without an ROI in
mind
"Every you money spend as a
company/entrepreneur has to have a potentially positive ROI. Don't chase after vanity or
'branding,' unless you can quantify it somehow. It doesn't have to always have
a positive ROI, that's why you test, but it has to have the potential."
3. Being too frugal
"Don't skimp on costs
necessary to grow your business, even if you're not making a lot of money yet.
The same frugality you apply to your personal life doesn't apply in business.
Spend money on products and services that simplify your business life, make you
more efficient or grow your ultimate bottom line. Think long term and guard
yourself against unnecessary burnout due to doing too much yourself."
4. Disorganization that leads to
extra expenses
"Disorganization is toxic.
Missed deadlines, out-of-control expenses and the constant
'where-did-I-put-that' scrambling all act as friction on your forward momentum
and growth. Put into practice a system of organization that enables you to keep
the nuts and bolts in place, so you can work your high-value magic
efficiently."
5. Expensing everything at tax
time
"Thinking it's OK to expense
everything because it's a tax write-off, especially if it's not essential to
your company."
6. Not knowing when to pivot (or
quit)
"I see this one a lot:
pouring money into your business when you should be pivoting or shutting
down. You should have traction (paying customers) within a few months
after starting the business. If you're using another definition of 'traction'
then you're just fooling yourself, wasting your time, and delaying the
inevitable."
While you are busy
workings in your business, trying to create the next big thing, don’t
forget to work on your business as well and keep an eye on the
financial shape of your company.
Eating a two-pound of full
chicken will mess you up for a couple days. Drinking a wine of #200,000 will
mess you up for a couple weeks. But making one of the above financial blunders?
That could mess you up for life.
