Me Myself and I

Personal Growth through Blogging - One Step at a Time


Dare to Win!

As you might have noticed, Marcus Hochstadt finished his contest a few days ago and many people could start collecting their prizes. Congratulations to all winners of course, especially Dette who won adspace on my blog, so please pay her a visit!

I won a few prizes, another page at onebuckwiki.com so bringing that to a total of three pages after I won in the contest on theuniversitykid.com a few weeks ago.

Life is Sweet!

In my post on the contest, I was hoping to win a copy of Manifest a Miracle by Gary Evans and guess what…. I did win that prize as well… ROFL.

In a short email exchange about the prize, I mentioned I had been hoping to win and Gary answered me I already seemed to be pretty good at deliberating manifestations.

I thought about that comment for a while and it made a little click.

I have been reading quite a bit about “The Secret” in the last year and must say a lot of things have manifested themselves over that course of time. All little things though, like for example cars pulling out whenever I was looking for a parkingspace, little prizes I wanted to win actually ended up in my possession, things I really wanted to happen, happened and the list goes on.

But like I said last week, it is about time to start dreaming bigger, and make bigger dreams happen. In case you think now that I believe things will just show up whenever I dream about them, it takes a bit more than that.

I feel it is also about taking the steps needed in order to achieve what you want, so I wanted to point you to a recent post about World Linking Day, especially to the last bit, and I quote:

“One of the most important skills you can learn is shutting out all of the distractions to focus your link building efforts. In all reality you should be spending 80-90% of your time on link building anyway. I’m guessing that for most people, it’s more like 5%. If you aren’t getting results, that’s why.”

I am off getting some more results, and declare this month to be my Linking Month :D

    Social traffic is like working a job every day. Traffic via search engines built with links is like having an investment you get interest from every day. Yes, link building pays off a lot.

    Hi
    I think that dreaming big is wonderful. It keeps you motivated in working toward that goal. Would you be interested in a link exchange with me? I am working on increasing my links.

    Very good article, and yes link building would be very important for all of us, or maybe for everybody soon once they know what is it for really? soon it can even be like a food that everybody needs to eat :P

    I like the title: Dare to Win. I think it’s what separates people who succeed and people who don’t try. Perserverence combined with a little dumb luck that you create.

    We’re in the 5% category for link building. And despite how important I know it is, I still seem to be stuck creating content, instead of building traffic. Rookie mistake.

    There are some people who make the law of attraction look so easy! There’s a groove where you don’t question the results, you just expect and accept them. Somewhere in there is the key to making it all work!

    Congratulations on your manifesting!

    Cheers, Dan
