By Michelle Kulp on January 31, 2013

How to Grow Your Online Business for Big Results!

how to grow online business

Any business owner that wants to “stay” in business, especially in this slow economy, must become known as the “authority” in his or her field.

Whether you have a brick and mortar business along with a website or you just have an online business, you’ve got to constantly be marketing your business to outsmart the competition, achieve name recognition in your industry, and make profits!

As someone who has owned an online business for 10 years now and who is also a website designer, I am starting to see a common thread among business owners whose online business is lacking — they simply Read More…

How To Beat Procrastination

By Michelle Kulp on January 22, 2013

How to Beat Procrastination is a battle we all want to win!

how to beat procrastinationHow to Beat Procrastination is easy once you know what the real enemy is.

We all have good intentions, but sitting down to do the work is another story.  Call it writer’s block, artistic agita, or general malaise; it’s that malignant entity that keeps us from our Calling which can be a killer.

I’ve read 2 books recently that have inspired me in my quest to become more productive, to earn more income and to help more people…and of course to do less procrastinating!

If these are some of your goals as well, then read on.  Both books I am referring to were written by Steven Pressfield and they are:

Here’s what procrastination looks like as described in the introduction of his book, “Turning Pro”:

“In The War of Art, Steve gave a name to this voice.  He called it Resistance.  Resistance STOPS us from committing to the important work of our lives — not just committing to it, but fighting like hell to get it done.”

Resistance.

That is the enemy and we are all fighting against it, so don’t think Read More…

How to Become an Amazon Best Seller

By Michelle Kulp on January 11, 2013

Learning How to Become An Amazon Best Seller is a little like trying to get your website found on the first page of Google…

Amazon Best Seller ProgramIt’s not easy!

That’s right!  It’s a mystery to most authors who never become an Amazon Best Selling author even though they may very well have an awesome book they published on Amazon!  Having a great book, with a great cover, and a great description is simply not enough.

Why?

Partly because there are about 2 million books on Amazon so it’s hard to stand out and partly because Amazon has it’s own “algorithms” (just like Google) and it’s a secret that you have to figure out on your own.

On October 23, 2012, my book, “Never Work Again:  6 Secrets to Earning a Play-Check Instead of a Pay-Check” became an Amazon Best Seller in 2 competitive categories:

  1. Self Help
  2. Small Business & Entrepreneurship

Here are the screenshots from that day (click on the image to see a larger view):

The Best WordPress Video Training Classes Online

By Michelle Kulp on January 3, 2013

WordPress Training Online from the comfort of your home!

Whether you are looking for WordPress Training Online for Beginners or Advanced WordPress Training, Angela Wills Website Design Mojo Course is the best online training course I’ve found!

wordpress training classes online videosI took Angela Wills 6-week Intensive Online WordPress Training Course in 2011 and it was the best thing I could have done for my online business career!  Not only did I learn valuable skills that doubled my income, but I was able to save money by not having to pay a website designer constantly for work on all of my websites.

Angela Wills was actually my Virtual Assistant and Website Designer for over 5 years until she discovered WordPress.  Then one day, Angela said she wasn’t going to be doing the services for my websites any longer and that I could either learn WordPress myself or find a new Designer/VA.  I decided to take the leap and took her 6-week online course.

Angela is one of the best trainers I know.  Her knowledge is deep as she has been building websites since 1999, so needless to say, Angela knows her stuff!  I have a lot of respect for anyone who built websites using HTML coding because it’s very tedious, time-consuming and not something I am interested in.

Angela has been teaching her 6-week WordPress Training Course since 2010 which shows that she is not one of those ‘here-today, gone-tomorrow’ type of trainers.

Her program offers you Read More…

Yanik Silver’s Underground Internet Marketing Conference

Top 10 Reasons to Attend Yanik Silver Underground Internet Marketing Conference

Yanik Silvers Underground Internet Marketing Conference

You are worth much more than you currently earn!  So what do you think is standing in the way of your financial and career success?

The best way I’ve found to increase your self-worth and your net-worth is to invest in yourself.    How much have you personally invested in your business this year?  People who are “committed” to their own success regularly invest in themselves by gaining more knowledge and learning from mentors.

Yanik Silver has been my  mentor since 2006 when I signed up for his “Seminar at Home” program called “Information Marketing Players Workshop”.  I was so excited when a huge box of binders and DVD’s arrived at my doorstep.  That box changed my life!

I simply took one idea from the hundreds of ideas and Read More…

Are You a Brown Cow or a Purple Cow? 10 Tips on How to Transform Yourself and Your Business Into a Purple Cow

By Michelle Kulp on July 31, 2012

Seth Godin Purple Cow book reviewOf course, I’m not talking in the literal sense.  I mean in the world of business…do you stand out?

You see once you’ve looked at enough “brown cows”, they are all pretty boring!  Wouldn’t you agree?

But a purple cow…now that’s different!  That’s phenomenal!  That’s exciting…that’s remarkable!

In the information overload world we live in, you’re either invisible (a brown cow) or you’re remarkable (a purple cow).

Every day, YOU ignore brown cows!  We all do!  Seen that, seen that, seen that, seen that…oh wait a minute…that’s different!  A purple cow…let me take a look at that!

10 Reasons to Quit Your Day Job

By Michelle Kulp on July 5, 2012

how to quit your jobIf you love your job, great!  But if you don’t, here are my Top 10 Reasons to Quit Your Day Job!

Trust me. You need to begin planning your EXIT STRATEGY Now!  The old game is over.  You know, the one where you work 40 years, pick up a paycheck for far less than you’re worth, retire and get your gold watch.  Now, with the bad economy, companies are using that as an excuse to fire or “let go of” disposable employees.  The ones they consider dead weight.  I hate to be so blunt, but it’s true.

Wouldn’t you rather control your own destiny, than leave it to the corporate powers that be?

Times are tough!  We hear that phrase over and over since the real estate bubble burst in 2007 causing immense financial challenges and losses to the masses.  However, in these “tough” times, I just took off 2 months to move my house and my family.  I am grateful I had the freedom to do that as I can’t imagine having to move a 5,000 square foot house while having to report to a day job.

What I think is really tough though are people that have day jobs and rely on just one source of income, with no freedom at all for life’s unexpected events, who work in a love-less job, earning just enough to get by and paying Uncle Sam almost half of what they make!

I’m hear to tell you…there is a better way!

Here are my top 10 reasons why you should Quit Your Day Job: Read More…

Career Help: Love it or Leave it?

By Michelle Kulp on February 16, 2012

Do you need Career Help?  Are you thinking of leaving your job?  Do you feel like you’re in “Cubicle Prison”?

Career Help, Career Test, Career ChangeWouldn’t it be a tragedy if you actually quit your job only to discover down the road that you didn’t actually want to quit your job, you simply needed a little CPR: “Career Path Resuscitation“?

There is a possibility that if we just altered some things about our jobs, we would actually want to stay.  Perhaps we like some aspects of our job, but it’s just that we:

  • Hate our boss;
  • Hate the pay;
  • Hate the hours;
  • Hate some of our duties;
  • Hate the location;
  • Hate our co-workers.

What you need is a Job Autopsy!

Doing a “JOB AUTOPSY” on your current job can help for 2 reasons:

  1. To see if some positive changes were implemented, you might want to stay in your current job;
  2. To help you take steps to improve your current job situation so that you will be happier at least for the time being while you have to work there until the day comes (hopefully soon) when you can actually quit your job and follow your dreams.

Either way, it’s a win/win proposition for you.  To believe that your workplace is solely responsible for your happiness is to Read More…

New Years Resolutions Ideas

By Michelle Kulp on December 29, 2011

It’s that time of year again, when all of us start thinking about the upcoming NEW YEAR and begin the process of identifying our New Years Resolutions.  I have some ideas for you that are not the typical mainstream resolutions like losing weight, eating healthier, making more money, getting more clients, spending more time with your loved ones, etc.

No, my ideas involve a strategy that most people don’t think about very often; at least not as a “strategy” and that is:

QUITTING!

Hear me out as this is very important to your New Years Success…

Every new project, hobby, or goal always begins with a lot of enthusiasm and excitement.  Then, as time goes on, it gets harder and harder and, of course, less and less fun.  When the harder increases the fun decreases on your project or goal, you seriously start to question yourself as to whether or not it’s worth the hassle to press forward.

New Years Resolutions IdeasThe Secret to Massive Success is “Quitting“!  That’s right, you heard me, quitting is the key to success.  Winners quit fast, quit often and quit without guilt.

One of my mentors, Jack Welch, of GE understood this concept very well and his adage was:  “If we can’t be #1 or #2 in an industry, we must get out.”

Now, why did Jack feel so strongly about this.  Simple, he realized early in his career that if a project (product, idea, division) can’t be #1 or #2, then it’s time to quit that project because it is essentially sucking resources, capital, focus, time, and energy from the rest of the company.  Jack freed the resources from dead-end projects so they could be used in other areas where they could be #1 or #2.

Believe it or not, quitting is a great strategy to Read More…

Giving Back to Your Community – 4 Questions to Ask Yourself

By Michelle Kulp on December 16, 2011

As we reflect on our lives, we see we have a lot to be thankful for.  I see so many people giving back during these harsh economic times and it makes me feel happy and  proud for the kindness and generosity of our fellow human beings.  As I was watching a television special last night, “A Year with Katie Couric” in which Katie reviewed all of the past years’ news stories, there was a segment on “heroes”.  I realized that now more than ever we have “everyday” heroes that don’t have much themselves, but are still willing to give of their time, talent or treasures to help others.

Giving Back to Your CommunitySo I’m asking you to think about ways you can give back to your community for the upcoming New Year…

I’ve been thinking about that since yesterday and I realized that I do give back to my church home (where I receive my spiritual food) as far as tithing, but I want to give back and really help other human beings solve the problems that confront them.  So I thought about my skills, my background, my passions, and my mission statement and this is what I came up with.

I wanted to help “women” to be more independent, more self-sufficient and happy.  Given my 15+ year background in the legal field, my love of the law, and my Read More…
