Renegade Electron™

The Penny Finally Dropped

noreply@blogger.com (loz) — Tue, 20 Jun 2006 13:04:00 +0000

Indeed it did. And it took along time to happen. Like the best part of my life. The well trodden path of school, college, career, retirement etc may have worked way back when but I'm not so sure in todays world.

Going right back to basics the world of work is all about making money. Enough hopefully to live on. Trouble is, that formula will do just that and probably little more, unless you have an extremely well paid job and then there's always the ceiling of how much time you can spend working and earning before you drop with shear exhaustion.

If you think about it the role of the job as a means of making money, enough to live the life you really want rather than have to settle for, is barely adequte. If you accept this as true then you may also accept that you're real job in life is to make money. Enough to enable you to live how you really want to.

I'm talking about money as a tool to be used, spent and invested to create the world around you in the way you want it. In todays world there are opportunities that barely existed even only a few years ago to do just that!

Basically that's what Renegade Electron is all about. Creating an alternative wealth platform to the good old job where you work for someone else and just about squeek by.

Making Money with Marketing

noreply@blogger.com (loz) — Tue, 07 Mar 2006 10:34:00 +0000

If you're in business you're in marketing. It's a fact of life so many business people forget.

I hear so many business people say that because they're only a small outfit, they don't have the money to spend on marketing. And it's only the big companies that have the money to spend on marketing.

Well get this if you get good at marketing you can be in almost any business or many businesses.
And if you want to make sure you prosper, being in many businesses sounds like a better idea than just relying solely on one.

The 5 Oases: What's the Alternative

noreply@blogger.com (loz) — Tue, 13 Dec 2005 10:34:00 +0000

Very simple really: a job. And these days not necessarilly for life either. Employers are notoriously unloyal, yet demand great loyalty from their staff.

Until recently there wasn't much of an option to the job. At least for most people.

Some fantastic people set off and built their own, very conventional businesses, with all the usual things like premises and staff.

But now we're in the 21st Century. Opportunities exit today that didn't, even only a few years ago.

Most of this is down to having a digital infrastructure that didn't exist a few years ago either. An infrastructure that people in many third world countries would give a great deal for.

So who is 'Your 5 Oases of Wealth' for? Basically anyone who wants to overcome the big issue of not having enough money to live the life they want.

That means that people of all ages, backgrounds and gender can get involved in changing their lives for the better by building it the way they want it.

Your 5 Oases of Wealth: what are they all about?

noreply@blogger.com (loz) — Mon, 28 Nov 2005 11:19:00 +0000

First of all what are they and why would you want to discover them? What would it mean to you if they could change your life for the better and solve many of your problems facing you if you're in the world of work, the world of the job?

Well, these are the 5 Oases of Wealth:

1. The Marketplace.
2. The Digital Infrastructure.
3. Property.
4. The Stock Market.
5. Personal Development and You.

Any one of these on their own could help you make a fortune. But just imagine for a moment if you could bring them together in a co-ordinated and systematic way.

A way that could enable you to design the life you want away from the conventional world of work, or to retire as early as you could afford to enjoy what you have but with the time to enjoy it?

For many people this is just a dream. But it doesn't have to be that way.

Not if you bring all of Your 5 Oases of Wealth together.

Shortly, you'll be able to get your FREE introduction to Your 5 Oases of Wealth that'll tell you much, much more...

Welcome to All My Guerrilla Marketing Buddies...

noreply@blogger.com (loz) — Fri, 14 Oct 2005 08:34:00 +0000

...you all know who you are and it's great to have you on the blog.

You know, it dawned on me a while back. Something I never realised for years. It's this.

If you're in business you're in marketing. If you get good at marketing you can be in any business!

And if you're looking to exploit the potential of the internet to build multiple revenue streams then you are going to have to get good at marketing.

That's one of the main reasons I joined Mitch Meyerson's Guerrilla Marketing Certification course. And I'm glad I did.

There's still a way to go yet, but I know Mitch and Bea will get us to the finishing post.

For the first time I now have a Marketing Plan and a Marketing Calendar. What's more I can see how these will propel my business forward to achieve my goals.

Do you have a Marketing Plan and Calendar for your business?

Fantastic 90 Day Product Factory! What a Ride!

noreply@blogger.com (loz) — Fri, 01 Jul 2005 08:36:00 +0000

The blog's been quiet recently. Why? I've been participating in an absolutely fantastic event.

The 90 Day Product Factory run by Mitch Meyerson and Michael Port.

Over a 90 Day period they take you through the hoops on making your own products from scratch.

I can honestly say this is the first time that this information has been so completely divulged.

Sure I've attended other tele-seminars, and live ones too, that give you something of an idea. And sure I've attended mentoring and coaching teleclasses on this and general Internet Marketing matters.

But nothing absolutely nothing has come even slightly close to what The 90 Day Product Factory can offer you if you want to make your own products to sell on and off-line.

In short Mitch and Michael are professionals. That's what separates them from all the rest. M'n'M rocks!!!

Thanks a million Mitch and thanks a million Michael. I know the 90 Day PF will go on from strength to strength.

So... for those of you who want to check it out go to http://www.90dayproduct.com/

My thanks also go to our fantastic Team Leader Jan Wallen. Jan has been an inspiration and guiding hand in our day to day and week to week progress. Thanks Jan it's so appreciated.

Check out what Jan has to say at http://www.sellingyourexpertise.com/

It's also been absolutely magic to work as part of a really great team of people. You know who you are. We're the Bodacious Developers!

I'd also like to thank Peggy Murrah at http://www.onepagewebdesign.com/ for all her help in sorting out my new site http://www.NewbiesInternetMarketingGuide.com/

My last thank you goes to my good friend John Barford who tipped me off about The 90 Day PF.

Without that tip I'd of missed out big time. Cheers John. Here's to good wine!

First Time Through's a Special Case...

noreply@blogger.com (loz) — Tue, 05 Apr 2005 12:21:00 +0000

...This is true for almost anything. And especially true for all those people out there getting to grips with making money through Internet Marketing - for the first time.

There is positively so much you could do it's almost overwhelming. There's so much to learn, so many different tools to get your head around...

It's all to easy to get completely buried with it all. Result you achieve nothing!

Well here's what to do. Keep it really simple.

Bear in mind that the purpose of your first project is NOT to make your first million. All well and good if it does. But...

Quite simply the purpose of your first project is to find or make something and sell it using the simplest and least number of tools possible.

Once you've tunnelled through to the other end you can improve what you've done and the way you do it later.

But remember the old 20/80 rule. 20% of what you do will deliver 80% of the benefit.

So rather than try to absolutely perfect something. Find something else to sell and repeat the process. This time using one more new tool. And so on.

Don't try and do everything yourself. Use other people as much as possible to do the technical bits.

But learn from what they are doing for you. So at the very least, you get to know what is going on.

Remember, first time through is about getting something done adequately. So you get to learn the process and a few tools.

Not getting it done perfectly using all the tools possible! That'll come with practice.

Rich Reading

noreply@blogger.com (loz) — Tue, 05 Apr 2005 11:45:00 +0000

...While I'm on the subject of becoming what you think. Here's some reading matter for your grey matter, or "Neck Top" as Jenny Armato calls it.

"Think and Grow Rich": by Napoleon Hill, try reading one chapter a day first thing in the morning. It'll cost you 20 minutes a day for a couple of weeks. And maybe help you make your fortune.

"The Science of Getting Rich": by Wallace D. Wattles, a short read and great read.

"The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari": By Robin Sharma. Based around a great story with messages along the way. If nothing else this book will remind you that life's not just about building a gross superfluity of money and assets.

"Living Your Best Life": by Laura Berman Fortgang. Just read it! It'll help you lead your life on purpose!

"The Wealth and Poverty of Nations": by David Landes. A rich read. If you're like me you'll need to read a bit and think a bit. Go with David on this fascinating journey back through time.

"Rich Dad Poor Dad" series by Robert Kiyosaki.

Almost anything from Dr Wayne Dyer and Depak Chopra.

Most if not all of these can be obtained online from Amazon.

Just like the old Paul Newman film "Cool Hand Luke": "yah gotta get yah mind right"... Because that's where it all starts and ends!

Desktop Motivator...

...Here's a few things I've found really helpful in keeping my mindset positive and upbeat even when things are looking alot less rosey than they should.

On my desk I've got a desk calendar. "Who Moved My Cheese".

For each day of the year there's a snippet from Spencer Johnson M.Ds book of the same name. Both of these can be obtained online from Amazon.

"Who Moved My Cheese" is about change, how to embrace it, go with it and exploit it for your betterment.

On my laptop I've got a really cool screen saver from Rebecca Fine. It randomises a set of thought provoking sayings to keep your thoughts positive and productive.

Because in the same way you are what you eat. You become what you think too!

Life's a Project...

noreply@blogger.com (loz) — Mon, 04 Apr 2005 06:38:00 +0000

...well maybe not completely. But if you understand the basic principles of project management you can apply them to a very wide variety of situations.

So to help you get the basics real fast here's the Project Managers Poem.

Where are we now?
Where are we going and why?
How much will it cost?
How long will it take?
And will it be worth it when we arrive?
Oh and the by the way, how will we know when we've got there?

If you can remember and ask these questions. You might just save yourself a ton of money and effort.

Might even help make you some money!

Experts and Gurus...

noreply@blogger.com (loz) — Fri, 01 Apr 2005 12:08:00 +0000

...so what is an expert or guru? Along time ago I was reminded that the term expert means "a has been under pressure".

It stuck in my mind. Because of that it's a term I hate.

As for gurus? Well I do believe that there are some people who are genuinely a guru. But perhaps more concerned with the spiritual wellbing of people than anything else.

What I really do believe is, there are some people who have achieved a critical mass of knowledge, experience and skills. A critical mass that is overwhelmingly self empowering for them.

In turn they are able to share this with others. So that they achieve a critical mass of knowledge, experience and skills too. And so on down the line.

If you can do that, then maybe, just maybe, you're an expert or guru in the truest sense of the word.

Take a Break Take a Holiday...

noreply@blogger.com (loz) — Thu, 24 Mar 2005 07:57:00 +0000

...all this talk about work - oops creative activity - makes me think about holidays.

You know last year I took a one week break in May then worked through to Christmas non-stop. Result: declining performance. Well I did know I'd be away in January for a month. But none the less things were not going as well as they should.

So January came and I took that well earned break. Result: I came back with renewed vigour. Things moved on much better and much quicker.

So for the remainder of this year I've promised myself that I'll take a break every twelve weeks or so. Just so I can keep fresh.

The other thing I noticed about taking a break is that I forgot all the detail. All that remained in my mind was my overall goals and vision. That was there at the back of my mind quietly resurfacing above all the daily clatter of detail.

So... Easters here... have a great mini-break and give your brain that well earned rest. Just putting in ever more hours to achieve your goals can be non-productive.

It's quality effort that counts. And you can't put that in if your brain needs a good rest and de-frag.

Have a great Easter.

Work Who Needs It...

noreply@blogger.com (loz) — Wed, 23 Mar 2005 12:21:00 +0000

... It's that four letter word again. Conjures up a whole host of negative feelings in me. Probably because I've spent too much of my time as an employee selling my time or even as a freelance consultant and trainer doing the same.

Since then it's all changed. I don't do work anymore. Not that I'm retired either. I hope I never do. Too much chance of getting bored and losing your purpose in life. Which incidentaly will keep you alive - literally!

No, work is out- creative activity is in. What's the difference? Alot.

Those two words sum it up nicely for me. Firstly, creativity and imagination are more powerful than knowledge (Einstein said so, so it must be true). And nothing happens unless you take action.

Put the two together and you have a much more powerful way of thinking, being and doing.

But what's all this creative activity about? It's about multiple, recurring independant revenue streams.

And yes, you probably will go to bed tired, you will be challenged and there will be obstacles to be overcome (many of them in your mind and nowhere else!)

So have a very nice creative and active day.

A Big Hello... and A Big Thank You

noreply@blogger.com (loz) — Tue, 22 Mar 2005 11:04:00 +0000

...to everyone on David Cavanagh's Internet Marketing Teleclass - it's a great privilage to be part of this group.

And a very big thank you to David for allowing me to mention the LozBlogz. I hope it provides a little encouragment to others to see that these things can be done.

I know that when you're new to something the thoughts in your mind can defeat you before you start. So don't let the gremlins in. Take action just one step at a time and you'll get there!

Being the original techno-clutz even I was amazed at how easy it was to set up a blog!

For all those of you who have dropped by and aren't a part of David Cavanagh's teleclass - hello to you too.

I was first introduced to David at the first UK World Internet Summit in 2004. It was clear that David absolutely knew his stuff. Signing up to his Internet Marketing teleclass was an absolute 'No Brainer'.

The whole programme lasts a massive 52 weeks! This fits very well with me because it'll give me access to David directly whilst I'm building my own web business as I build it piece by piece...

It's always good to have someone who understands what you're doing and can mentor you along the way.

Check out David's sites:

Also, if you haven't checked it out yet the next World Internet Summit is in the UK May 19-22 in London. Follow the link...

World Internet Summit

I would recommend the WIS to anyone who wants to get involved in Internet Marketing.

For me this event was absolutely pivotal. Why? Because at last I discovered what I didn't know about Internet Marketing. My eyes were opened to this whole New World.

Lower Literacy Users and the Internet

noreply@blogger.com (loz) — Fri, 18 Mar 2005 12:16:00 +0000

...well that's what Jakob Nielson calls them, not me. In my first prototype web site I built I focused very heavily on useability issues. Having discovered Jakob Nielson I subscribed to his newsletter.

Since then my interest in useability has diminished to almost zero. Why? Because if you're using the one page sales letter format useability is much simplified.

Really all you have to do is scroll down, hopefully with a wheel mouse. Then click to order if you're sold.

Then Jakob's most recent newsletter hit my e-mail in box. Now I'm thinking again.

There's too much to cover (as in re-type) so best I give you the link. www.useit.com

If your writing direct marketing response sales letters published on the internet then you'll find Jakob's article on Low Literacy Users (March 14) of great interest.

It also covers the needs of other people on the web like teenagers and senior citizens, their special needs and problems.

Check it out... It might help boost your conversion rate.

The DNA of Business: People, Process and Technology

noreply@blogger.com (loz) — Thu, 17 Mar 2005 12:02:00 +0000

It doesn't matter what business you look at there are only three main things to think about: People, Process and Technology.

That means that if you look at Internet Marketing, say, and you think it's about technology you'll be wrong.

Sure, without Internet technology, and all that goes with it, you wouldn't be able to do much. If anything.

So just because you think you know something about the internet and computers, don't assume that knowing that on it's own will lead to success. Because quite simply it won't.

That means that in the case of Internet Marketing it's an opportrunity that's open to everyone. Particualrly people who understand the people and process issues.

Going back to my software development days. Most projects that failed didn't fail because of technical problems.

They failed because the people and process issues were not understood.

At the end of the day it's about people and processes that exist, in and on, a technical infrastructure. And there are lots of technical people out there that can help you with that.

So stay focused on the people and processes. Because that's where the real money is.

Once you get into this frame of mind it's almost impossible to stop becoming passionate about things.

Why is this so important to you? It's a very good way of more than filling your current space.

Because that has alot to do with how well you'll do in life!

So get passionate to propel yourself headlong into the future you crave and deserve. It's inside you desperate to get out! So set it free!

... Supermarine Type 300. Better known to all as the Spitfire. 69 years ago on March the 5th 1936 the prototype took off from Eastleigh aerodrome in England.

A legend was born. And thank God it was too. And today it's still a stunning sight in the sky.

Not the most appropriate blog for this site, I know. But I'll be starting a hobby and interests Lozblog quite soon and I'll move it to that. So for the time being here it is until it's moved.

If you want to know more about this classic aircraft, I've put together a site at www.supermarine.co.uk

www.LozWilson.com
This is my hub site. In it you'll find out more about what I'll be doing and why it could be interesting and important to you.

There'll also be stuff about my background and credentials to back up what I'm saying, doing and offering.

www.PropertyFortunes.com
This'll launch the first few products in the 'How to... Profit From Property' series of tools and e-books.

1. Developers Workbook Toolkit
2. The Secrets of a Professional Property Developer
3. Companion Guides: Negotiate to Succeed

These have been developed with huge input from my business partner in this venture, a successful and long standing property developer.

You know, and I know too from my experiences, it's very easy to get it wrong in property development. It's all to easy to overlook things and either fail to do, or get wrong, basic but vital sums and calculations.

The end result is alot of wasted time and a lost profit. These first product offerings help here by way of checklists, marketing and cost evaluation spreadsheet workbooks. Together with a defined process for property development that helps you understand what to do with hints and tips along the way.

These can be used to help you decide whether or not to buy a particular development property. And if you do, to help you track and manage costs to ensure you achieve your target profit.

'How Not To... Build A Web Site For Profit'
This takes a close look at my very first web site attempt and why it didn't deliver like I wanted. It goes on to introduce what I should've done and am doing now.

It'll also contain an overview of the topics you'll need to be familiar with if you want to succeed in Internet Marketing. A sort of syllabus, or road map, for self study and advancement in this area.

So if you're a newbie, you'll want this! I wish I'd had it. That's for sure!

'How To... Turn Your Dreams Into Reality'
This is something that sort of just happened. It's based on the 'Wheel of Life' idea as used by Life Coaches.

It'll help you systematically figure out what you want to Do, Be and Have so you can set your goals. And that's where it sayed for a while. Something kept niggling away at me.

Why? Because I knew something was missing. Something absolutely vital! Well now I've found it. And it was as obvious as the nose on my face! But it took a couple of 'Old Hands' and a younger mind to help me see the light.

Just writing this e-book helped me hugely in setting and understanding my own goals. And now it's almost done, it would be just plain rude not to share it with you too.

But Lets Be Upfront...

noreply@blogger.com (loz) — Thu, 03 Mar 2005 10:45:00 +0000

... one of the things I'm not is an expert, particularly in Internet Marketing. So why should anyone be interested in someone like that? A very good question.

So I'd better have a good answer, right! Well I have!

You see since about October 2004 I've been investing in my education in Internet Marketing. (As well as other things like Direct Mail, Coaching and Property Development and Investment.)

Frankly, I've spent a small fortune on seminars, courses, tele-seminars, e-books, books etc etc...

And for Internet Marketing, in particular, I had discovered that I didn't know that I didn't know about Internet Marketing. So making an investment in all this stuff made excellent business sense.

After all, the people I had bought this stuff from were all pioneers in figuring out what works and what doesn't work. And by studying them, at a cost, I could learn repeatable patterns that they had used successfully. Patterns I could take and use right now!

But without all the pain of repeating their learning curve!

So how will that help you? Well what I'll be doing over the coming weeks and months, is to provide you with a review of the products and services I've bought. And I'll continue buying more for the forseeable future too! Learning never stops!

But perhaps even more importantly, I'll also be providing you with a review of what I learnt, what worked (for me) and what didn't and perhaps more importantly why!

Because, particularly, if you're a newbie to Internet Marketing, this might be very useful for you to know. It could save you a ton of effort, heartache, time and cash!

For example, I know one tiny piece of Internet Marketing information that could have saved me from spending at least $1,500 and not tied up $5,000 in cash!

So What Am I All About...?

noreply@blogger.com (loz) — Thu, 03 Mar 2005 08:32:00 +0000

... personal advancement. At least that's what I'm calling it for now. It's much more than financial independance and it's certainly not a GRQS (Get Rich Quick Scheme). There's no such thing! So here's a summary of what I'm about:

Personal Development and Coaching
Direct Marketing: On and Off-line
The Internet
Product, Service and Software: Sourcing and Development
Property
Wealth Creation
Life-style and Healthy Living

These topics will be the basis of a new web site I'll be publishing soon at www.lozwilson.com

But why have I picked these topics? I've got some very special reasons why.

And if they're good for me, could they be good for you too?

Stay tuned to The LozBlogz... All will be revealed... And soon...
