Another minor setback in the quest for the Holy Grail.  Everyone else in the house has the “Bug” . So I will have to maintain a low profile during this outbreak.
   Module #4 Social Media Money  has been an eye opener for me . I have thought in the past that blogs, and other social media were something of a gab-fest or BS sites. Now I can see how to utilize them to make relationships to be able to generate trust and therefore when you do promote something in the future you are viewed as a trustworthy individual that has a product worthy of consideration by the people on your list.
   Alex Jeffreys has opened the eyes of this lowly newbie to this concept. Another lesson on the road to my goal.
   Back to the module.

Well, the first module of Marketing With Alex was an eye opener. He called it Moving Forward to Basics. Most other people who mentor do so moving back to basics. We need to change our mindset to building our business not for ourselves but to the betterment of others.

This business is not a get rich quick scheme but a get rich forever system.
Alex brings out that you are either a winner or a loser based on whether or not you take action or not on the things that winners in this business need to do. Which the first order of business is to step outside your comfort zone.
A quote that he brings out is ” Don’t chase money, let money chase you.” I like that because it brings to mind “that what most people chase after is the most elusive to find” (an old chinese proverb ?).
The next order of business is to align yourself with someone that is credible, someone that is “walking the walk and talking the talk.” Which is why I am fortunate that Alex is my mentor, and someone who is being recognized by the internet marketing “gurus” as a rising star and a contender in the marketing field.
The next big order of business is to create a blog and start posting about our experiences with the mentoring process and build a readership.
I had a bit of a problem of getting a blog setup on my marketing website. Although I am using Wordppress, which is a very good platform, I couldn’t seem to get it to work. After confering with others and some digging of my own I finally got it up and running. Albiet a little later that the rest of my fellow students, oh well.
I willl continue the rest of Alex’s module on my next post a little while. I do not want to write a book on this post or bore anyone.
