Get Rhythm In Life

I was listening to Johnny Cash the other day and heard the words "Get Rhythm, When You Get The Blues" in a song. While you may quarrel with my choice of music, the message is key to success in life and in business. Rhythm may be defined here as a system or flow of the things that you do in different areas (work or play) or the overall organization of your life. Or you could define rhythm as something that goes on inside of you to give you the bounce in your step, or a certain swagger. It could even mean that you play or listen to some great music to replace the woes in your mind.

Robert Kiyosaki, in his Rich Dad series, stresses the importance of having a business system to create wealth. A business system is something that can pretty much run on autopilot for much of the time. The business system removes you, as the owner, from the day to day tasks that must be done to make money. This frees up your time for longer range planning, pursuing new ideas, networking, and even family & recreation activities. Without a business system, you would have to be working the business to make money which is more like having a job than a business. Many stay at home internet marketing business' are great systems. Starting at about an hour per day, the business can be on-line and making money for the whole 24 hours of the day. Choices have to be made on how to spend your time on the business. For example, I could hire someone else to do article writing for me but it is something I enjoy so I do it. However the ten dollars and more that it costs to buy an article that someone else writes for you is a great time saving option and critical for those who can't or don't want to write articles. The bottom line is to make the most productive use of your time possible by leveraging other peoples time or business systems to help you make money. With an Internet marketing business we use a website, advertisements, emails, lead capture pages, auto-responders, shopping cart systems and the like that are already set up for our ease of use. This is someone else's business system and part of ours. Once these things are set up, then we spend out time fine tuning them and pursuing new initiatives. Whatever business we choose, we need to set it up as a system, or series of systems, so that we do not have to be physically present in order that it generates income.

Bob Proctor also strongly advocates the use of business systems such as Network Marketing. He tells us that they provide the fairest form of compensation that there is for our efforts. Additionally, he states that 96% of people will never be wealthy because they trade their limited time for money either as wage earners or professionals. To be wealthy we need to invest our money or have a business system. And generally, the way we get our money to invest is from our business systems. So set up your business system for wealth creation.

In the movie "The Secret" Proctor recommends that we put on a piece of great music when we are feeling down and that we will begin to feel good. As we set up and build our business system, we need to deal with the problems and move on. It is important to acknowledge what went wrong, be it a poor decision or outside influences and learn from it thereby avoiding an encore. So the focus is to move ahead with our business system. And actually, it you do get rhythm and put on some great music, no matter how you feel, that feeling will improve. You might even dance around and develop the swagger.
