Find An Online Business Mentor To Grow Your Online Business

Have you been spinning your wheels, working like mad, but don’t seem to be getting anywhere with your online business activities? Yes, of course you need to be working hard on your business. But first, you absolutely must find an online business mentor to follow – someone who’s already trodden the path you’re on. Especially if you’re to avoid feeling broken by endless hard work that ultimately proves to be totally unproductive…

“Hard work! It can either make you or break you, as an online business owner. Let me explain why…

Hard Work Can Either Make You Or Break You In Your Online Business

Good morning everybody, welcome to another episode of The Drive. It is Dean Holland here of course, and thank you for joining me here on this journey to Internet Profits HQ.

So, a LOT happening a lot happening this week. If you’ve been following along, you’ll know that we were building up to launching a brand new Playbook…

It’s not like a typical 7-day product launch. We’ll put it out there in the marketplace and then begin getting traffic to it.

Then optimising that traffic, following up with that traffic to convert customers, and send them through a sales funnel…

Dean Holland’s “The Drive” Episode 172

A Marketing System To Find The Best Ways To Help Those People

…to serve those people, to solve those people’s problems and deliver value to them, whilst building the business.

Now we’ve had many technical problems that have delayed all of this, until finally yesterday, we were able to flick ‘Live’. But that kind of happened later in the day. So now really, the fun starts! Very, very exciting.

I love this point in time. Y’know, a lot of the ‘building stuff’ – it’s tough work and I enjoy the process. But I enjoy it more when things are ready to put out there, and to start improving upon, and to start getting traffic to. And to start getting the product into people’s hands, and seeing all the work that we’ve done come to fruition.

I Love Seeing All The Work That We’ve Done Come To Fruition

Starting to see people flow to that first page of the funnel, and seeing how many of those opt-in. And then seeing that next stage of the funnel – how many take out their card and complete their first purchase. Then seeing them land on those additional ‘one-time offers’, those special deals that we present.

And then seeing them land on the ‘thank you page’, where we have a special presentation that does something that leads people through to applying to become a Certified Partner or a client of ours.

Online Business Owners Will Go Through Many Trials And Tribulations

Finding out how many of those people speak to my team, and how many go on to invest in their business at a higher level, a higher value opportunity. And seeing all those numbers, finding out what a customer is worth to our business Then, how well are we serving that customer? What difference are we making?

Those Are The Things That Get Me Really Fired Up

We’ve put months of work into getting to this week. And now we’re at the part that I really, truly love.

Here’s the thing… Here’s what I want to talk about…

As a business owner – and let’s talk specifically about my forte; online business. As an online marketer, an online business owner, you will go through many trials and tribulations. Many ups, many downs, many highs and lows.

When Starting An Online Business, Many Don’t Know Where To Turn For Help

And you have to keep fighting on. You have to keep on finding solutions. And you have to be passionate about what you’re doing to allow that to happen.

I always say I never ‘work’. I don’t do any ‘work’ really. Because I do what I love every single day. I could spend 12 hours a day in my office, or more, as I often do sometimes when needed. And I don’t see it as ‘work’.

But with that said, I want to get an important message across…

Do You Need To Get A Reality Check In Your Life Or Business?

Do You Need To Get A Reality Check?

Some harsh truths today from Dean for all those people who might need to get a reality check in their lives, work and businesses. There are many ways to get a reality check, and many reasons why you should. Here is one of the simplest and most effective ways…

“Today’s message is gonna be really short and sweet, because I’ve just got something quick to say… And some people aren’t gonna like what you’re about to hear…

Good morning everybody. It is Dean Holland here of course, on the way to Internet Profits HQ. And thank you for joining me on this journey here in today’s Drive.

Is It Time For You To Get A Reality Check?

So I’ve been seeing a lot of stuff lately… I’ve been talking to a lot of people, being very observant. And I’ve had my ears wide open, my eyes wide open… I’ve just been very observant.

And y’know, some people aren’t gonna like what I’m about to say. But I really don’t care.

Time To Get A Reality Check

Dean Holland’s “The Drive” Episode 171

Because I don’t really have time for this type of person anymore. So many people talk crap! It’s true – this is how it is.

So many people say they want to do something, as in – they say they want:

• Success
• To be the best version of themselves
• To excel in a certain area
• Financial freedom
• To get out of their jobs
• A better life
• To provide better for their families

“I Want Online Success And Riches Untold On The Internet!”

They say this, they say that. People say a lot of stuff, but very few people back it up with the correct actions.

I have been there! I have seen the errors of my ways over the years. 12/14 years ago, I used to be like that. I used to say, “I want online success. I want riches untold on the internet.”

Do You Need To Get A Reality Check?

But my actions were like, “Oh, I don’t need a mentor. I’m not going to invest in help and support. I’m gonna buy a few video courses, read a few blogs, visit a few forums, and [snaps-fingers] change my life.”

Say What You’re Gonna To Do… And Then DO It

And d’you know the key? D’you know the actual simplicity of the key to getting all the stuff that you claim to want? It really comes down to this…

Secrets Of Successful Online Businesses And Why Others Fail Online

Secrets Of Successful Online Businesses

There are some critically important factors which distinguish successful online businesses from those doomed to fail. Here are some of the key elements you need to have in place if you want to build your own online business successfully…

“A lot of people don’t want to hear the truth. They’re happy to just believe something else, and keep saying one certain thing, believing what they want to believe. But today, I’m gonna share the truth with you.

Are You Getting The Results You Want In Your Online Business?

So if you’re not getting the results that you want in your online business, I’m gonna tell you exactly what separates those that succeed, and those that don’t…

Good morning everybody, it is Dean here of course. Thank you for joining me here on this journey. What a glorious day! A glorious, busy week. Gosh, I think this is the busiest I have ever been!

I think I’ve got the most to accomplish and get done this week, than any other week I can remember. It is that busy! And y’know, it makes me think about something.

Dean Holland’s “The Drive” Episode 167

A lot of people aren’t getting the results they want. Lots of people are struggling to even get out the starting gate – off the starting blocks – of their business. And I’ve been there. I understand – I get it.

When I was struggling, I wanted to believe that there was an easy way. I wanted to believe that it didn’t have to be difficult. Wanted to believe that there was some magic bullet to build successful online businesses – as an affiliate marketer, for example. Which is what I was started out as, and how I grew a business.

I Spent Four And A Half Years Living In A Nightmare!

I tried believing that for years and…

That Belief Cost Me Four And A Half Years Of My Life

…in a living hell. Living a literal nightmare! It cost me over sixty thousand dollars, without even making a single sale – cost me a lot.

Now this is the problem I see with this industry… People don’t want the truth. They don’t want to hear that it takes hard work. Don’t want to hear that it takes a solid work ethic and sacrifice. They don’t want to hear that it takes money to build a business. People don’t want to hear it.

You Don’t Have To Go Through Years Of Painful Trial And Error

They want to hear, “Oh, you can get started with no money, and very little effort. And you can get started just by buying a hundred dollar e-book or video course – that’s all you need.”

But the reality is – unless you want to go through years and years of trial and error, and pain – there are certain things that you must accept. And there are certain changes that you have to personally make.

Secrets Of Successful Online Businesses

Y’know, it’s often said that change actually starts on the inside. And it’s absolutely true. I’m often asked, “What is it that separates those who build successful online businesses, from those who do not?”  There are several things. But one of the biggest is…

How To Achieve Greatness In Life And In Business: One Simple Rule

How To Achieve Greatness In Life

Today, Dean talks about an often overlooked, simple rule to achieve greatness in life and in business. Initially inspired by a quote about achieving greatness, and later on enhanced by an inspirational Bruce Lee quote…

“I heard a quote about achieving greatness one time, that’s always stuck in my head. And I don’t think it was exactly like this. I think it was from, maybe it was Floyd Mayweather, the boxer?

And it was something along the lines of… “Greatness come from doing a few things really well.” Y’know, I think this quote on achieving greatness applies perfectly with what I’m about to talk about today.

Greatness Come From Doing A Few Things Really Well

If you’re someone that feels overwhelmed, or is struggling with breaking through or achieving that next level of success, this is something you’ll really want to know…

Good morning everybody. Dean here of course. Thank you for taking this journey with me, on the way to Internet Profits headquarters. So this is The Drive, and today I’m going to share a few things with you…

Dean Holland’s “The Drive” Episode 166

I’m gonna share what’s going on at the moment, here at Internet Profits. But just before we get into that… I see a lot of people so overwhelmed, and struggling to break through to that next stage. And that applies, no matter what stage you’re at.

I’ve Been At Rock Bottom…

Tens of thousands in debt, not having any idea how to make a single sale on the internet, and I’ve struggled to break through. I felt overwhelmed during that stage. I felt lost, confused, frustrated, and scared.

Overwhelmed, Confused, Frustrated, And Scared

I’ve also been making hundreds of thousands a month, but again not knowing how to break through. Feeling confused, lost, frustrated, overwhelmed and scared. And so it’s a very common thing.

But I’ve now learned something that I wish I’d known a long time ago, that I want to share with you. Because this is where I think people get into that state.

Many people think that to succeed, it’s about doing lots of things perfectly. And so they try and learn lots of things, and they try to implement them perfectly.

Seeking Perfection Is A Recipe For Disaster – Freaking Ridiculous!

Well, trying to do too many things to achieve greatness – it’s a recipe for disaster in itself. Trying to do one thing perfectly, is also a recipe for disaster in itself. And trying to do lots of things perfectly… It’s freaking ridiculous!

Y’know, I don’t like to ever use the word ‘impossible’, but that’s pretty much up there. And that’s why people get stuck.

I want to tell you today that greatness is NOT achieved by trying to do lots of things perfectly.

To Achieve Greatness, Success, Progress…

One Simple Rule To Achieve Greatness

…These are achieved by doing a small number of things well. And doing them consistently. Doing them every single day, over and over.

I spoke with one of our Certified Partners – who’s a ‘five figure Partner’ – Ben, yesterday. He’s made over fifty six thousand dollars in commissions with us.

And he reminded me of an achieving greatness quote or a proverb, something along the lines of…

How To Start Your Day: An Amazing Thing Happens Every Morning

How To Start Your Day Off Right

When you wake up, you always choose how to start your day, whether you realise it or not. Here’s some great advice for how to start your day off right, happy, productively and positive. Help and inspiration is at hand for how to start a good day, and to go on to design your life…

“Something amazing happens every single morning, to you and to me. Most people don’t even realise it, and it’s time to bring it out. It’s time to make you aware…

Good morning everybody. Dean here, of course. Welcome to another episode of The Drive. Thank you for joining me here on this journey to the Internet Profits offices.

I hope you had a great day yesterday. I had an amazing day yesterday. In fact, you know what I’ve been realising… Ever since I did my juice detox recently, and ever since I’ve dramatically shifted my eating habits – detoxed myself off sugars and junk food… I have felt absolutely amazing!

At 6 p.m. I’ll Still Have The Same Energy And Focus That I Have Now

Every day I’m up and out, and I feel great, I feel happy… At the end of the day I feel exactly the same. Before, it was getting to like one or two o’clock in the afternoon and I knew my focus was gone. I was slowing down.

And now it can be like – right now it’s just after 8 a.m. – it’ll probably be 6:00 p.m. when I leave the office later, and I’ll feel exactly the same way as I do now…

Same Energy Levels, Same Focus, Same Drive, Same Happiness

…and just an amazing feeling, which is great.

But with that said, I had a bit of bad news in the last 24-48 hours. Pretty sad.

Dean Holland’s “The Drive” Episode 161

So when I first discovered people are making money online… When I first went on a search for ways to make some extra money… I didn’t start out wanting to build a company like I have. And I didn’t start out wanting a team, wanting to make millions… It just wasn’t really in the scope of what I was looking to accomplish.

I’ll be honest. I was in a job. The pay wasn’t that great, and so I wanted more. And that’s what led me to find internet marketing. At that time in my life, I was actually working in a pub, in a bar. I worked there like, five/six days a week, two shifts a day. The people that I worked for were Debbie and Graham, the landlady and landlord of the pub.

I just got news that Debbie sadly passed away. She was only in her 50’s. And it turns out Graham, her husband, had come home from work on Friday of last week – just a few days back – and had sadly found her at home passed away. I don’t know anything more at this stage.

Don’t Be Too Late To Take A Risk, To Get The Life You Desire

But, y’know… It’s another big reminder. And I think all of us – we have these ‘reminders’ every single week in our lives, in one way or another. Whether it’s in someone we personally know, or a friend of a friend, or an acquaintance, or through stuff that we see, and read, and experience…

You Realise It Could Happen – Just Like That!

Everybody’s planning for the future. In this industry particularly, I see people afraid to invest, afraid to pull out a credit card.

Afraid to spend their some of their savings on trying to better their life, on trying to get where they want to be, on trying to provide more. On trying to be happier, and live a life of being happy doing something they’re happy doing…

Because they’re saving for the future. Or they’re worried about, what if it doesn’t work out… Well, what if you drop dead next week? And you’d lived a life, for years, of being afraid to do stuff. Y’know, wouldn’t that suck?

No Regrets… When You DO Something, Every Single Day, To Design Your Life

I think there’s been research done, with people who are in the last stages of their life. And they’ve spoke about their regrets, which have been stuff like not taking more risks, caring too much about what others thought of them, planning for the future that may never have come – and for some people hasn’t come. Just makes you think.

I realised something… That every single day, both you, me and everyone else…

Finding Self Motivation: Why Is Self Motivation Important In A Business?

Why Is Self Motivation Important In A Business?

Why is self motivation important in a business, or for college students? Entrepreneurs, home business owners, and college students alike, need to excel at finding self motivation for their work or their studies. Today Dean dives into the harsh truth of finding self motivation for your work, when you’re on your own…

“No one cares about your dreams!

Now listen to what I’m about to say – figure out the truth behind the meaning of what you’re about to hear… And your life will never be the same again.

Every Day Is A Fine Day, When You’re Doing What You Love

Good morning everybody! It is Dean here, of course. Welcome on this journey to Internet Profits HQ on this fine, fine day.

Every day is a fine day, right? Any day when you’re doing what you want to do, and you’re working towards what you want to work towards is a great, great day.

I said to somebody yesterday – and it’s absolutely true – something I’ve heard in the past. I don’t know who said it, or where the quote comes from… But if you’re doing something you love, and you’re doing something you’re passionate about…

Dean Holland’s “The Drive” Episode 160

You Will Never ‘Work’ A Day In Your Life

When I was thinking about that yesterday, and I was sat in the office doing what I love… I’m working on a product that I know can help so many people. We’re working towards launching this new Affiliate Marketer’s Playbook.

I’m looking out across the office at my team, and I’m realising that I’m doing exactly what I love. I’m hanging out with people everyday who are awesome. And I’m never gonna have to work a day in my life – and it’s a great, great feeling – and I want that for you too.

Why Is Self Motivation Important In A Business?

And so, if you’re not currently doing that, I want to tell you something that will help you in finding self motivation… And to start with, this is maybe gonna make you be like, “Er, what?” Or, “That’s NOT cool!”

No One Cares About Your Dreams

Now, what am I talking about? Am I saying that your family, your parents perhaps, don’t want the best for you? Absolutely not. Of course they do.

Or am I saying that your loved ones don’t love you, and don’t want the best for you, and don’t want you to have what you want to have? Of course not.

Am I saying that for me, as a mentor, that I don’t care about my clients or Certified Partners dreams and goals? Absolutely not.

Some People Expect Others To Care More About Their Goals Than They Do!

I do what I do, because I love to help people, and I like to have an impact and add value to other people’s lives.

BUT… I see a lot of people running around, expecting other people to care more about their dreams, their goals, their outcomes, than they do. And it’s twisted. It’s wrong.

How To Get More Done In Less Time By Doing This One Little Thing

How To Get More Done In Less Time

Do you ever wish you knew precisely how to get a lot of work done in a short amount of time? Or simply how to get things done faster? Today, we have one simple little trick which can effectively solve the problem of how to get more done in less time at work or in your business…

“Yesterday, I managed to get a crap-ton (and that’s the scientific phrase for this…) a crap-ton of stuff done, that had been taking me far too long. And I did it by doing one thing that I’ve never actually done before in the office. Surprisingly it worked so well, that I’m tempted to actually do this every day now, in little blocks.

So… how to get more done in less time, doing this one thing, that takes less than five seconds!

How To Get A Lot Of Work Done In A Short Amount Of Time

Good morning everybody, it is Dean here of course. Thank you for joining me on this journey to Internet Profits HQ. It is another episode of The Drive. I hope you are feeling awesome today.

We had a crazy, crazy like wind/storm weather going off at like 4:00 a.m. this morning. It woke us up, with things being blown around in the street. And I’m now driving on the way to Internet Profits Headquarters, and there are trees snapped – I’m talking like…

Massive Trees, Just Snapped, Blown Down!

There is stuff everywhere, I don’t know what was going on.

Dean Holland’s “The Drive” Episode 157

So yeah, crazy night. But yesterday I got a crap-ton of stuff done. And yes, that is the exact scientific term for how much I got done – a metric ‘crap-ton’ of stuff done yesterday. Which is awesome!

There’s no better, motivating feeling than crushing your to-do list, right? It’s basically self motivating, encourages you to get more done, and you feel positive. It’s kind of the total opposite of how you feel if you’re getting into bed at night, and you know you’ve not done the things you should’ve done… It plays on your mind and you can’t fully switch off and rest.

So yesterday was an awesome day. And the way I was able to accomplish that…

I Actually Had To Take Some Strict, Severe Action

There Are So Many Distractions When Trying To Work Online

Because, I don’t know about you, but when I’m working online… Obviously I have the good fortune now, that I don’t have a full-time job. Running my business, I’m my own boss. I do what I love. Don’t have to work for that construction company anymore. I get to spend my days doing what I love, with people that I love, and just have an amazing time.

But because I work online, I’m constantly tuned into stuff that’s happening online. Meaning I sometimes have a tendency to think, “I wonder if that person’s responded to that email?” Or, “I wonder if we got that order back yet for that transcription?” Or after posting something in one of our private Facebook groups, I’m thinking, “I wonder what the response has been. Let me just go and check.”

Constantly Able To Open Up A Browser In A Couple Of Clicks

So I can constantly be disturbing my own productivity and focus. Because I’m constantly online. Sitting at my desk in the office . My computer’s online… And even if I’m doing something like putting together a webinar presentation, I’m constantly able to, within like a couple of clicks, open up a browser and be back online.

And so, it often breaks my pattern of focus. Just recently, I found that I’m far too distracted with that stuff. So yesterday… (Wow, look at that! One of the big signs outside the office has also blown down, crazy!)

Yesterday, I was like, “I HAVE to get this thing done! It can’t go on any longer.” So basically, I went under my desk and…
