Should I Focus on Affiliate Promotions or My Own Products?

How to Become an Authority at Anything
Tom Morkes' 5 Pillars for Being Seen as an Authority
This is a guest post by Tom Morkes. Tom is one of the hosts of the upcoming Authority Super Summit, which I will be speaking at this week, along with dozens of other amazing online authorities. You can register here for FREE.
Having coached and mentored hundreds of entrepreneurs over the past four years, I’ve noticed a recurring pattern in high-profile professionals. The biggest and brightest business people excel in 5 foundational areas of business.I call them “The Five Pillars Authority.”
Let’s review each of the five pillars and how to apply it to your business.
Pillar 1. Mindset
You wouldn’t build a house without preparing the foundation first, would you?
Of course not.
Similarly, you wouldn’t set out to build a profitable business without having a stable base to launch from. The FOUNDation for any business is the mindset of the FOUNDer (founder / foundation – get it?)
Like a house built on sand, a business led by a confused, uncertain, and weak founder will crumble.

If You Want to be Somebody Else, Change Your Mind
Everything starts in your mind. Every action starts with a thought. Every invention starts with an idea. Every outcome starts with a vision. Everything starts in your mind.

Not literally another person, but someone better?
A better leader. A better father. A more focused person. Someone who is making a bigger impact and leaving a legacy.
Have you ever wanted to be somebody else? Then take these words from the band Sister Hazel to heart.
You Are Already a Millionaire…Now Start Acting Like It
Have you ever thought of yourself as a millionaire?
One of the biggest things I work on when coaching others is mindset. The biggest obstacle to their success is in their own minds.
When I ask if you’ve ever thought of yourself as a millionaire, I don’t mean in the future. I don’t mean catching a vision of your life one day, although that is important. I mean right now.

The New Math of Possibilities – What’s Your Income Goal This Year?
What’s your income goal this year?
That’s a question I often ask people when I speak to groups or consult individuals. Then I write down their answer on the board like this:
What results is an exercise in thinking beyond what they ever imagined. Thinking differently. Thinking abundance, not scarcity. Thinking what is possible, not what they’ve always known.
What if you add a 1 to it?

Just a little 1. That’s all. What do you have now?
Most people would say $40,001. Big deal. By the time you pay taxes, you’re left with a stick of gum and a single copy from the UPS Store.
Act as If | Act Like Who You Want to Be
What do you really want to be?
What do you really want to do?
What do you really want to have?
Those are three powerful questions that you probably rarely ask yourself. More likely you say things like:
“If only I ____.”
“If I could just ____.”
“I’d settle for ____.”
And you sell yourself short. You aim for mediocrity…and that is exactly what you get. But there is always a gnawing deep in your soul to be more, to do more, to have more.
Why You Want to Hire Entrepreneurs | Hiring the Entrepreneurial Spirit
“You should hire more entrepreneurial types,” I told a friend recently.
“But that would be total chaos,” he replied.
He is right. It would be total chaos. But it would also result in team members who are deeply invested in the performance of their division or team, just like an entrepreneur.
