I found something extraordinary

I found this amazing description of a beautiful tribe, a tribe with which I instantly resonated.

Gosh!

It feels like she´s using my own thoughts and experiences in her words.

Who is she? Well my friends, I really want you to meet Mrs. Sarah Robinson and read her blog post(s) you find in the link below!

I have joined this tribe! Immediately after I read the page “tribe” on her blog.

Thanks goes out, once again to @jonathanfields on twitter, whom I follow in my list of “awesomepeople” and to whom I owe a great deal of inspirations in the last few weeks.

He is a kick-ass writer, both on his extraordinary blog and in his book (Ain´t got no Christmas-gift-idea yet? Buy his book!) “Career Renegade” + he is one of the most authentic and enjoyable people I have met in the last few months on social media platforms. Period! -And I have met many!

Now, tonight I was “listening” in to a twitter conversation between Jonathan and Sarah and got drawn to the conversation by its authenticity.

Enjoy Sarah Robinson´s post and come join the tribe.

Do you know these kind of days?

You start off the day with good intentions and then a sheer constant rant of bad news hammers on your head, duh!

The phone kept on ringing the whole day. An no matter who was on the phone, the story was almost never uplifting but after story slowly dragged me down.

I tried to shake those bad vibes off but it seemed that the ghosts from the past had gathered arround my house today and were haunting me,  gosh.

I eventually began to feel miserable and thoughts of failure started claiming more and more space in my head.

How was I going to reach my own dreams without proper resources?

With that in mind I turned on the computer, locked into my twitter account, read a few tweets of my awesome people´s list and was saved.

Here is why (And thanks to the great twitter hero @CHRISSVOSS for tweeting the story!):

Make it a perfect day and persistently pursue your dreams.

To your personal dream success

Tarifa 2008 "Benjamins"

Gosh, its late again, but I need to write this down…

To all those of you, who might recognize the headline of this post,  as being taken from “CAREER RENEGADE” by Jonathan Fields and who believe that the paragraph from which the headline statement is taken, is worth way more than the price of the book,

to those of you I declare immediate friendship.

Too the majority of you who will think…what the heck..(??) .. it might be helpful to read this:

THE POWER OF PEOPLE

Barring the rare happy hermit, Csikszentmihályi also reveals that most of us thrive to a greater extent when we are aound others, especially like-minded others. Yes, even stressed-out, solitude-seeking people. Human beings are innately social. But, who we are social with determines to a large extent how satisfied we are with what we are doing at any given point.

When I speak I am often asked about the benefits of being a bit of an entrepreneur. People say, “It must be amazing to have total control over your life, to work when you want to, to make as much as you want, to have control over every aspect of your job.” We´ll get to how much of fact and fantasy there is in that statement later, but people are universally surprised when I answer, “Actually, the best part of being an entrepreneur is not the control you gain over wealth, but the chance to handpick the people you surround yourself with and create an organizational culture that is completely in sync with who you are.” Translation, it´s ll about the Benjamins, not the benjamins.

(CAREER RENEGADE – by Jonathan Fields, page 29)

Do you resonate with that? You are invited to leave your comment below.

And yes we will have to talk about the benjamins as well, soon. But basically,  they will follow the Benjamins of your job.

Have a superb Halloween 2009 and Spread The Good, Attract The Good (It works!)

San Diego San Diego April 2009

Many of you will have noticed that videomarketing master Frank Kern has turned his back on the social media scene. From one day to the other he left his followers without further ado. Duh!

I admit, I was startled first. I had invested in his Masscontrol 2.0 video course, liked a lot what he was doing and thought it was awesome to be able to sneak into his latest projects by following him on twitter and facebook.

But then, honestly, that was a never given possibility anyway for a normal dude. Has there ever been any interaction of Frank with anyone else than those members of his pre-existing syndicate of fellow marketers? –No, not that I can remember, anyway.

He has never been really engaged on twitter. Obviously because it takes time, time he rather spends surfing the pacific wave sets – and being the 9th worst surfer in California he´s absolutely right to do so.

Plus, Frank Kern has a huge list of email-addresses and his syndicate, with similar large lists build up a foundation of abundance to sell his stuff to so that spending his time to build up relationships via social media sites like twitter and facebook doesn´t make sense to him.

So, who cares? I did first, but none of us should. The caravan moves on.

For the rest of us, it makes more sense than ever to invest time on building strong relationships on twitter and facebook. It has never been easier to reach out to thousands of like-minded people all over the world.

I believe we should indulge on that social media train, as it does not only enable us to grow a huge list of prospects for our services and products but while using the ever more sophisticated and easy to use applications of the social media platforms we can get closer than ever to people physically far away from us. And we can gain true friends all over the world.

So good-by Frank and welcome, welcome to everyone else

Amsterdam Juni 2009 049Alright, Alright, Alright!

Welcome Everyone.

On this blog you will learn how to discover and use the very best information, services and products available on the net to match your outcome, if your outcome is to Make a Living Online.

So somehow on this blog, it is all about You.

Nevertheless I like to get the ball rolling by letting you in on some information on myself.

My name is Mirko Gosch. I am a 40 year old jurist, addicted to watersports, to being outdoor and to enjoy the company of funlovin people from any nation -cause I know personally that there are nice, heartily and authentically friendly people everywhere on this planet-! I am a friend to many.

Hey to all of You!

I love dogs especially and most of fauna and flora (Nature is Magic!)- I mean I don´t like ticks f.e. and I just can´t see which role they play in nature; if it was up to me, I wouldn´t mind them to, like, get the hell out of here and everywhere. -

What more?

I am happily married to a wonderful woman and I am the proud and loving father of a marvellous 6 year old girl.

I have been through some rough times over the past year (and unfortunately even further far beyond) and had to take some complete new steps forward. In the end it was me, who did the things the way I did and very often the things I didn´t do and when I just passively watched, which got me to the point where I am today. I am not complaining.

But with a new focus on my personal outcome I have to act in another way.

“If you continue to do the things you do, you will always end up in the same or a very similar state of being”

Now I have discovered my personal outcome by defining what it really is I am after. What do I want to achieve in my life? Where do I want to live? What do I want to work as, which is my contribution? Whom do I want to aquaint with? Where to do I want to travel to? and so on, and so on…

Can you maybe relate to any of this?  Do you share with me any of those questions? Well than this my journey´s web log is for You and about You.

A little bit more…

Why the heck am I writing in English although it is not my first language (please forgive my likely mistakes in spelling at times). Why that? — Because too many people from all over the world wouldn´t understand a single word if I would talk to them solely in German. That´s why.—  I want to be able to talk with You and get to know You.

I am honored that you come and visit my internet real estate. Are you laughing at me?

That´s fine.

I give you a friendly smile back. If you come and visit me often from now on, you´ll see, that this site will be steadily growing and it will be an internet real estate soon. At least that is the way I see it. You will find different rooms with different content.

There will be levels at well and like in a house there will be connections between all of them. I will make this an interesting and valuable place to be in.  Help me making it an enjoyable and valuable place for all of us!

On this blog there is a clear focus on the Latest and the Best of the Evergreens from Social Media to Video- and Internetmarketing – because in conjunction to the things above, I am also passionate about these very three themes.

And I am absolutely certain that all of us need valuable and authentical information to grow ourselfs so that we can serve more people worldwide. And I am sure that many of us  are still not exactly where they NEED to be.

You are not alone!

You can tell that by the present form and design of this page. I know it is far from perfect, it is just the beginning, but it is fun already. There is going to be  a lot more fun to come.

From now on this site will grow to be your best place to find the most valuable information about the above topics. +  alot of other fun stuff.too.

I have been plowing the internet for months to find the best programs, the best teachers and the best information on Social Media, Video- and Internetmarketing.

I have come across a lot of amazing stuff – good and bad (and even horribly poor)!

Yeah, sorry. There is quite a bit of scam around that fuels all the prejudice about InternetMarketing, SocialMedia and VideoMarketing. It doesn´t go away when you just don´t look at it. But isn´t it a pitty that some of the true jewels are burried under the debris of scam?

There is tons of spam, poorly gathered information and hyped up trash information products all over the place. It makes me sick to see  people getting trapped in that kind of B.S. and pay money for what you can get for free round the next internet corner.

I guess you will already have gained a similar impression about that yourself. Or you might have got lost in the information overload?

On the other hand there is also an abundance of decent people, authentic teachers and genuine leaders.  Among them true jewels! You will definitely enjoy meeting them. I promise!

I am constantly building this web log to lead you to the real experts who are worth every dime they charge for their service and products. In fact most of them truly overdeliver and their services and products are worth way more, than they charge you. If any of you believe they can match this criteria please aply to be hosted in one of my rooms and let´s get talking!

There is some excellent programs, tutorials, software and services around and I will help you out to find them or to be found!

O.K.

As you can see I am just starting to get this blog up running, so it´ll take a couple of more days to get it all sorted out.

Come back soon and check out my blog.

I am truly looking forward to get in touch with you. Follow me on twitter by clicking on the bluebird.

Have a perfect day

Until the next update.

Your friend

Mirko
