Hi! Guess what? I’m running a very special competition inside this video where you can get access to one of my courses worth $247 absolutely free. All you’ve got to do is follow some very easy steps and you’ll get access to this really special course.

- - -

Hi there! Welcome to this video. My name is Gideon Shalwick. I want to give you access to one of my courses worth $247, absolutely free! All you’ve got to do is follow some really easy steps and I’ll explain to you in a second what those steps are so that you can get access. Everyone who follows these steps will get access to this course. So make sure you do follow the steps.

Let me tell you about the course a bit. It is called “Easy Video Product Sites“. It shows you how to set up your own membership sites, your own video membership sites, following a step by step process. A very valuable course and it takes you by the hand and shows you how to do it.

Before I share with you the steps of how you can get access to this course totally free, I’d like to tell you about a very cool report that I read today. It’s called “the iEffect” and it’s written by Greg Habstritt from the United States (of course, I’m in Australia).

It’s a really cool report. It’s about 20 pages long, 23 pages. It’s all about why most entrepreneurs are overwhelmed and struggling, and how the iEffect can simplify and transform your business and life. Very cool little report.

It’s accompanied by a video as well, some video training that Greg has released. Inside the video he talks a bit more about this report and some of the surrounding ideas for this.

One of the key concepts he talks about is that the Information Age is over. And in other words, it’s becoming harder and harder to make money from selling information. I mean today, it’s so easy to just go to Google or YouTube and type something in the search engine and you find your result really quickly and you get it for free.

This is one of the points that Greg is making which I agree with. And he talks about how we don’t need Information Age anymore. We’re now in a Transformational Age.

This is something that Steve Jobs did really well (very sad that he passed away); but it is something that we look at his life and the achievements that he had. He transformed people’s lives through his products. He didn’t just create products that provide information or data, or even games or music, there’s more than that. It was about creating a transformation, creating an experience for people.

Greg talks about how Steve has done that inside this report. And how Greg has also been able to accomplish this in his business. He has made a ton of money using this sort of thinking.

Now let’s get to this competition. I really want you to read this report and what I’d like you to do is download this report. Get a copy of this report. Basically what I want to do is I want to create an incentive for you to read this report and to watch Greg’s video because I think it’s so powerful and really useful.

So what I’m going do is on page 11, there is a headline there where he talks about three things that both him and Steve Jobs have been able to use to really run a very mega successful businesses. We’re talking about millions of dollars here.

There’s a headline here that says on page 11, “In The Transformation Age, What People Want Is Trust, Simplicity and __________” — the third word.

What I’d like you to do is figure out what that word is. And here are the requirements. Here are the things you’ve got to do to be able to enter this competition, very very important.

Please do not leave the word as your answer below on the comments. Do not do that because that will obviously reveal it to everyone else.

What I’d like you to do is send the one-word answer to support@rapidvideoblogging.com in the subject line. And then either me or my assistant will get back to you with access details to my $247 Easy Video Product Sites course.

That’s step one. Step 1 is to send me an email with the third word on page 11 that I’m leaving out here. “In The Transformation Age, What People Want Is Trust Simplicity and _______” - what?

It’s listed here on page 11. So that’s 3 things; you’ve got to figure out the third thing. Send me an email with that word in the subject line to support@rapidvideoblogging.com. That’s the first thing you’ve got to do.

Second thing (because I really want you to get what’s inside this report and the video from Greg) is once you’ve downloaded and read this report and watched Greg’s video, come back to this video and leave your comment below this video about what you thought about this report.

That’s all you’ve got to do. Send me an email with that one word in the subject line to support@rapidvideoblogging.com. Come back to this video and leave your comment about what you thought about this report and the video that Greg did. Because I really liked it.

I think there’s some really cool information in this that I think will give you some nice A-ha moments for your business, for your online business in particular and to help you be more successful.

I want you to get access to this. So this is an optin process. You’ve got to go to the site and optin for it. By the way, the link for this is below this video. You have to get there. But I really encourage you to do that.

I don’t want to create this little competition to push you over the edge. That’s what it’s about. Yes, it is an optin, you’ve got to put in your email to be able to get access but it is totally worth it. If you ever want to unsubscribe, that’s fine too, I don’t care.

But I want you to get access. Give it a shot, download this report and join this competition. It’s going to be really worth it. Even if you don’t like Greg’s stuff, I’m going to give you access to a really cool course that would normally sell for $247.

I haven’t even released this course. So I’m really giving something of value away here and it’s to anybody who follows these two steps. Send the email with your answer and leave your comment about what you thought about this report below this video. I’ll give you access. You’ve got to do those two things, those are the two requirements to be able to get access to my course as well.

That, my dear friends, is all I’ve got to say inside this video, make sure you follow those two steps that I talked about. Get yourself a copy of this report and I look forward to seeing your responses below this video.

I can’t wait. Thank you so much for watching, I look forward to seeing you inside the next video.

Oh wait a minute, this is very important. There’s a deadline to this. It’s October 19 which I believe is a Wednesday. So I’m going to shut the doors to this little competition on October 19 at midnight, Eastern Standard Time, New York. So make sure you follow the steps before then. So October 19 which I think is a Wednesday midnight Eastern Standard Time, New York.

I think that’s it. I look forward to see you in the next video. Thanks for watching.

Welcome to another video in my Insights Into Freedom video series! My name is Gideon Shalwick.

Inside this series, I want to share with you some of the key insights I’ve had to help me get more freedom in my life.

This next one is still related to my work life, while i was working. It is a very, very powerful insight that has helped me tremendously in my business today and in the last few years. It’s all about the Theory of Constraints.

In the previous video, I talked about how this applies to task management, in getting projects done really quickly. But it also applies to many many other things.

A really amazing book that I recommend you read on this is from Eliyahu Goldratt. He wrote a book called “The Goal.” This is where he introduced this concept of the Theory of Constraints.

Now, that sounds like a mouthful. But really all it means is the management of your business (or anything for that matter) by looking at the bottlenecks within your business.

The idea here is that you look at your business as a system. You have something in front of the system that goes through your business and then something that comes out at the other end.

Throughout that process - it is called the throughput of your business… So you put money on the inside, at the front of your business. Whatever your business does through that money - it creates products or customers, or whatever else on the other end - that’s throughput for your business.

Perhaps, I’m not explaining myself very clear here. But any business has a throughput. And the key thing with your business is to try to increase that throughput. The only way you can do that is to systemize your business, look at how your business works as a system.

And then the next thing is absolutely key. It is to find the biggest bottleneck within that system. Why?… Well, the throughput of your business is limited to the speed of that bottleneck.

Say for example you’ve got three stages in a factory line: A, B and C. For example, this factory line is making a widget (whatever widget it is). Say the person working on Stage A can do 50 bits of the work that they have to do to make the widget. Stage B can only make 10. And Stage C can make a hundred; all during the same day.

Now the overall throughput of that system will only be as fast as the biggest bottleneck, which in this case is B, which will be 10. So it doesn’t matter how efficient and fast the other two stages are, the throughput of the business for that process is going to be limited to the biggest bottleneck in that process.

It is exactly the same for your business. You need to figure out what is biggest bottleneck in your business. Focus all your attention on that bottleneck; remove it; and then move on to the next biggest bottleneck.

As you do that, your business’ throughput increases and you make more money, get more customers, get more traffic or whatever it is.

Once again, the summary is that:

Create a system for your business. Analyze your business and draw it out in terms of a system. How does your system look from a system’s point of view?

Then look at what is the biggest bottleneck. Find ways to try to solve that bottleneck.

In my own personal business… I’m jumping the gun here a little bit, but I’ve been the bottleneck ’cause all the information had to flow through me. So the day that I changed that, the day that I hired a manager, I removed that bottleneck. Or at least, I eased that bottleneck. And the throughput of my business was able to increase a lot more.

I hope all that makes sense to you. It’s one of the most powerful insights that I’ve had. The credit is for Eliyahu Goldratt who’ve explained that so well to me in his book, “The Goal.” I really recommend you go ahead and read that.

Inside the next video, I’m going to share with you the financial freedom model, the professional model, so to speak. This is the model that I was pursuing at a time. It didn’t work out particularly well for me. A lot of people follow it, that’s fine. But as you’ll see, it is quite limited for the long term, in terms of your ultimate freedom.

Thank you so much for watching. I look forward to seeing you inside the next video.

I’ve got a very interesting video for you coming up. A while ago, a friend of mine, Rob, from Robwebstips.com asked me a question. He asked, “If you had to give one bit of advice to an entrepreneur, what would it be and why?”

So, I’ve actually come up with three things which I guess form a unity. One thing—one bit of advice that I would give you to be successful.

The three things are these. First of all, to get crystal clear double vision-I’ll talk about that in a second. The second thing is to put on some blinkers to help you get laser focus on what’s known as our hedgehog concept. And the third thing is to apply everlasting persistence—so those three things. Let’s go through those three things first and let me explain them to you.

The first thing is to get crystal clear double vision. What do I mean by that? You get a lot of people talking about crystal clear vision. But they only talk about your own vision, what you want in your life, and what you want to be doing in with your life. Well, I think, there is actually two things—two sides of the coin for vision. And I read this from Mark Joiner—the World’s First Internet Marketer, or the Godfather of Internet Marketing at least. And he talked about—you know it being very similar to being on in a battle. So you have to have a very clear vision of what you want to do with a battle—where you want to attack, what your strategies are.

But you also need to have very clear vision on what your enemy is doing. So you need that two side of vision: what you want to be doing and also what everyone else is doing in your niche or in your market. So not only do you need to be clear on what it is that you want for yourself but also what everyone else is doing in your market. That’s very very important.

First of all, get that clear crystal version of what you want for yourself and what everyone else or the competitors are doing as well because, if you have that vision, then everything else will become a lot clearer to you as well. You’ll know how to operate, when to operate, and why you need to operate as well. So that’s the first thing—crystal clear, double vision.

The second thing is to put on blinkers, like those horses do, to help you get laser focus on your hedgehog concept. I talked more about the hedgehog concept in one of m previous videos. But really it’s just the combination of three things or the overlap of three things. It’s where your passion and your skills and how you make money from it with those three things overlap. That is your hedgehog concept. And the story is from—you know the hedgehog—his good at one thing. Whereas the fox, he tries many different things. He never really succeeds. That’s just a short of it.

If you can become very clear on your hedgehog concept—and this is part of your vision, by the way, and then apply laser focus on that hedgehog concept. That will help you to get through, what’s known as the breakthrough point, as Jim Collins talks about in Good To Great. Read that book. It’s an amazing book by the way.

So get crystal vision first—double vision. Figure out your hedgehog concept and apply laser focus on that. When you have the hedgehog concept in place—your own hedgehog concept—that actually allows you to automatically have these blinkers on that allows you to say no to everything else that doesn’t fit in with your hedgehog concept. That’s one of the powerful outcomes of having a very clear hedgehog concept. You can very easily say no to opportunities that do not help you promote your own hedgehog concept—absolutely critical.

Put on those blinkers. Ignore everything else or outsource everything else that doesn’t fit with your hedgehog concept and say no to all opportunities that do not help you extend your own hedgehog concept–critical stuff.

And then the final thing is to apply everlasting persistence. Napoleon Hill talks about how failure cannot cope with persistence and it’s absolutely true. And I would like to add a little bit to that—if I may—failure cannot cope with everlasting persistence when you apply laser focus to your hedgehog concept. So applying laser focus to your hedgehog concept persistently—failure just cannot cope with that. And I apply that to my own life, my own business, and everytime I’ve done it, I’ve been able to get some amazing success.

So those are my three things, you have crystal clear double vision, put on some blinkers so that you can have laser focus on your hedgehog concept, and apply everlasting persistence on your hedgehog concept.

Those are the three things. That’s my secret for success. That’s the bit of advice I would give you if you’re an entrepreneur and you want to have long term sustainable success. If you want to see some of my own work and how I make money online with what I do just go to rapidvideoblogging.com. There’s a 92-report there that you can download for free. And that will give you a very amazing overview of how I do, what I do online.

I also talked about the hedgehog concept and a little bit more detail on this. Just go to Rapidvideoblogging.com.

Thanks again Rob for the question, I really appreciate it and I look forward to share some more really cool information in the future with you and your audience. Thank you for watching.

Inside this video I want to talk about something that’s really close to my heart and something that I think is really important for your success online.

Just a few days ago–in fact just a couple of days ago, I got a message from my friend Daniel Scocco, who wrote a really, really fascinating report. It’s actually a very short report called the 10 Deadly Business Mistakes That You Should Avoid.

Now as I read through this report, three of the ten points really stood out to me. And I thought that I wanted to talk about each one of these three points with you and explain to them how they have helped me become more successful online. So with these three points, I’m sure that if you apply them in your online business or even your offline business, your success for this year would be a lot greater.

Listen to these three things that I want to talk about that Daniel talks about them inside this report as well. He talks about seven other deadly mistakes that business owners make and how to avoid them as well. But I’ll tell you, towards the end of this video, how you can get access to this report. It’s totally free.

Without further ado, let’s get into those 3 things that I think are really important if you want to be successful online in particular.

The first deadly mistake that people make is that they do not solve specific problem. Now, this is so common. In fact, this is the first thing that I did, the first mistake that I made when I started with my online business. So I created a book. I wrote a book. It took me 21 days to write this book of 200 pages long. Seriously, it was a mammoth effort that took me 21 days—not just 21 days, it was 24/7  that I spent on this book.

So there’s a massive, massive effort. And I created this book thinking that I created something that people needed. Now the mistake that I made was that I didn’t really identify specific problem to solve. I solved the problem that I thought that people needed to get solved. But in fact, I didn’t think about what they really want to get solved. There’s a big difference between what people want and what people need.

You need to figure out–what do people want? What are the problems? What are the frustrations they have that you can solve for them? And one of the key ways to do that is to just ask, hang around to places where people are, where they’re having those problems, with your audiences–basically. Ask them. Get involved and find out what are those problems. Once you know what those problems are, you can solve them. And until then, everything you do online or in business will not be very successful. So that’s the first thing.

The second thing is once you’ve identified that problem or that specific need that you’re solving, the next thing is to really apply massive focus. This is something that a lot of people struggle with online, specifically, because there are so many distractions. And one of the easiest ways to fail online is to do too many things all at once. This is the second mistake that people make—not focusing.

What you need to do, is you need to find this one thing–this one problem that you’re solving and focus all your attention on that one thing until it’s solved. This could be in the form of a product or a project that you focus on—to create a product, to create the solution. It can be starting up a new blog.

Whatever it is, it’s applying that single-minded focus on this one thing and just doing that one thing and getting rid of all other distractions. That’s definitely been one of my key strategies for success online. When I did the Become A Blogger program, that’s all I did. I didn’t do anything else when I did the Free Magic Live program. That’s all I did. I didn’t’ do anything else. In fact, for any of the other products or projects I’ve ever done in my life, the ones that were successful and the ones that became successful really quickly with one set of focused on.

This brings me to the last one that I think is really important and the last mistake that people make online that you can avoid. That is that a lot of people don’t finish what they start. People start a lot of different things and they don’t finish it. They start one exciting project or they do one exciting course and then they get introduced to another exciting course and then another one or whatever else.

Before you know it, you’re doing five or ten different things all at the same time and you, just like having lack of focus, don’t get time to finish any of them. And so it’s really important to once you start something and you’re confident that it will work—that you work your way through it and finish it. That’s absolutely critical.

If you don’t have any finish products, you can’t sell any products. If I never finished Become A Blogger, we never would have been able to sell it properly. And the same for my work with Free Magic Live and Street Magic Mastery and any of the other products I’ve ever worked on. You have to finish it. That is absolutely the key.

So those are the three mistakes that I believe that are absolutely keys. When you make those mistakes, you cannot succeed online. And you need to be able to get those things right. Solve the problem. Be focus and finish what you start.

Those are the three main things, I think, you need for becoming successful online. There’s a whole bunch of other things as well. Those are the three main things to help you get started.

Now Daniel talks about seven other things inside this free report, the 10 Deadly Business Mistakes You Should Avoid and this is through his Onlineprofits.com business. And in fact, he’s really launching his Onlineprofits.com business, I think, at the same time when you can get accessed to this report so keep an eye for that.

But this report is totally free. You can download by clicking on the link right below this video. So just go ahead and click on that link and that will give you access to this amazing free report. I think once you’ve read this report and really apply it to your online business, it will help you skyrocket your success online.

So thank you for watching this video, I really hope that you can use these lessons–these three main lessons that I’ve talked about and also the other seven lessons that Daniel talks about in his report to help you become mega successful online for this year.

Talk to you soon. Goodbye.
