Your Password for "The Club"
If you have always suspected that successful online business people keep getting MORE successful because of "who" they know, not necessarily "what" they know, you are right...
... I know from personal experience that making "the right connections" with "the right people" can snowball your income and Internet business success in ways most people can only dream about!
Unfortunately, most clubs where you can network with "the right people" will NOT let you inside unless you are ALREADY successful and well-connected.
And most clubs that DO welcome the "average" business owner are a waste of your time. (Because, let's be honest... you are all struggling with the same problems!)
Early in my business, I was fortunate enough to make a few "right" connections. It was really a one-in-a-million break for me. Now, I would like to share with you this same good fortune.

Risk and How to Identify High Business Risk at the Workplace?
Risk management and risk prevention at the workplace are daily challenges for managers working in any organization. Risk can be serious like potential fire in your plant/factory and embezzlement by senior management staff of the company or minor like employees using company time to conduct their own personal matters. In this article, we will discuss on how to identify risk e.g. business risk, risk of fire, project risk, enterprise risk, environmental risk, etc at the workplace that we as managers, need to be mindful of in order to develop appropriate risk prevention and risk mitigation measures.
To manage risk, we must first identify the risk that can potentially happen at the workplace. Risk is basically some event that may occur in the future and cause negative business impacts to the organization. In the identification of risk which can cause high negative impacts to the company, we utilize the knowledge and experience of our experienced employees who operate the business processes, plant/factory equipments or units. This can be effectively carried out through structured brainstorming or facilitation. The facilitator given the responsibility in carrying out this assignment is someone who should be competent in the facilitation process. In addition, he/she must have the ability to manage the participants in the brainstorming session, especially the participants who are senior management staff.
I remembered an occasion when I was given the assignment to facilitate a group discussion which was attended by a Chief Executive Officer and several Senior General Managers. The Chief Executive Officer did not want to participate at the initial stage of the group discussion. I had a feeling that he was trying to evaluate whether I knew what I was doing. To overcome his resistance, I had to explain patiently to him on the facilitation process during the course of obtaining inputs from the other members of the group. As soon as he was convinced that the facilitation process was working and he was not wasting his time, I could not keep up with him as he was providing some excellent ideas at a very fast pace.
In a typical brainstorming session, the group can easily identify risk relating to business risk, risk of fire, project risk, enterprise risk, environmental risk, etc that can happen in the organization. It will be quite impossible to manage the hundreds of risk identified. Consequently, we need to prioritize the risk identified. Prioritization involves managing risk which has High Seriousness when they happen. What are these risks? We can consider risk with High Seriousness if the risk has negative implications on plant production, Health Safety & Environment, compliance to laws & regulations and the company image.
The other criterion in risk prioritization is to identify the risk probability or likelihood of the risk happening. Will the risk happen? Are existing risk prevention plans put in place by the organization, sufficient and effective? A good example would be risk of "Late Delivery of a critical equipment" required for a new plant. If this critical equipment is delivered late, it will have serious consequences in affecting the completion of the new plant, thus impacting the planned production resulting in business loss. One of the risk prevention measures of minimizing the risk probability which has been adopted by my company is to have a Liquidated and Ascertained Damages (LAD) clause in the contract with the equipment supplier.
The objective assessment of the risk identified, the seriousness and the risk probability is captured in a Risk Matrix or Risk Map. The Risk Matrix is then used as the main reference for managing risk which can cause high business loss to the organization.

How to Prevent Stress?
We often hear people using phrases like effective stress reducing techniques, stress relief techniques, effective stress cures, etc. In actual fact, these are all reactive or corrective actions to be taken after a stressful situation has already occurred. Is this the correct way of doing things? Maybe, if it is beyond your control. Is there other stress technique that we can all use? Of course, if it can be within our control and we employ the knowledge and experience of our family members, friends, etc, who have witnessed or seen these stressful situations before. Here, we will look at a stress technique that emphasises on the need for us to identify potential contributing factors of the stress and the required preventive actions to ensure that they do not occur.
To lead a less stressful life requires us to identify potential stressful situations and take appropriate preventive actions. We actually do it subconsciously through our logical thinking. Like stress that can result in negative emotions e.g. fear, fright, anxiety and caused by accidents to your young child or grandchild on the road and at home. We actually take preventive actions like teaching your child the correct way to cross a busy road. In your home, we ensure that the furniture does not have sharp edges and your coffee table glass top is made of the unbreakable type.
However, potential stress that arise out of some major decisions or actions that we take e.g. getting married, changing job, buying a property or going into business, require some careful consideration. I knew of a young man who had decided to venture into business but was not very successful. His parents were utterly stressed out and could not sleep, frightened that he might resort to some unwarranted actions. In my view, this young man did not make sufficient concerted efforts to think through of potential problems like inability to finance the business as a going concern, inability to get sufficient customers initially to finance the cash flow, customers who would not pay etc. Had he taken appropriate preventive actions to mitigate these potential problems, the business would probably turn out alright.
In identifying potential stress arising from some major decisions or actions that we take e.g. getting married, changing job, buying a property or going into business etc, it is appropriate that we consider the seriousness and probability of the potential stressful situations to occur. Potential stressful situations in a marriage like divorce, incompatibility between the two partners, are worthwhile taken into careful consideration due to the adverse negative impacts on our life. Of course, if the feeling is nonthreatening then it is not an issue at all. Then we do not have to consider it. In some cultures, divorce and changing partners which are major contributing factors to stress, are not common and are in fact discouraged by the community. Just consider those potential stressful situations that will cause adverse negative impacts on our life.
As soon as we have identified the potential stress that has adverse negative impacts on our life, stress techniques are employed to prevent the potential stress from happening. Preventive actions should be appropriate, effective and implementable. And it is a good practice to implement the preventive actions without any unnecessary delay. Otherwise, it is as good as not doing anything. As the saying goes, No Action Talk Only (NATO).

Effective Stress Techniques to Manage Stress
We encounter stress in one way or another during the course of our daily routine. Here, we will discuss on what is stress, stress techniques to employ in mitigating, reducing and preventing stresses that have adverse negative impacts on our life. Stress is the anxious or threatening feeling that comes when we interpret or appraise a situation as being more than our psychological resources can adequately handle (Lazarus, 1999a). In laymen words, when we are faced with any situation (both negative and positive) and we feel that we can handle the situation; then basically we do not have stress. In fact, in my experience, stress which is not threatening and employing effective stress techniques serves as strong motivation for me to continue to excel in my job performance while working for a large global oil and gas company listed in the Fortune 500. We can if we want to, interpret a stressful situation as a challenge for potential personal growth or gain instead of threatening; then it will give rise to positive emotions, such as eagerness or excitement. Ultimately for example in your job, it will give rise to positive outcomes in your career like accelerated promotion, high bonuses and annual increments.
However, stressful situations that are interpreted or appraised by us to be threatening to our well-being and without employing effective stress techniques will result in negative emotions i.e. fear, depression, fright, frustration, burnout, anxiety and even violence; and psychosomatic symptoms like muscle pain, fatigue, headaches, skin disorders, eating problems, insomnia, high blood pressure or heart pounding etc. In fact, just interpreting or appraising a threatening situation, such as changing your job or getting married, can be more stressful than the actual events.
Before we embark in employing effective stress techniques to mitigate or contain an existing stressful situation, we have to determine the root causes. It is no use getting some cures for the symptoms only without really knowing the real root causes of that stressful situation. I remembered once, I was in severe depression and went to a medical specialist for assistance. Surprise and surprise, the medical expert gave me tranquilizer to calm me down. (For your information, I was once told by my doctor friend that the medical doctors are trained to provide treatments based on symptoms). It is just like weeds in your garden. You pluck the weeds away and you think that the problem is gone and eliminated. But do not forget that the roots are still there and the weeds will surely grow again. So my depression lasted for more than a year. I was moody and could not sleep well. My wife and children commented that I was incorrigible. Eventually, after learning an effective stress technique, the root cause of my stressful situation was identified and actions were immediately taken to eliminate the root cause. My depression is completely gone and now, I can sleep like a baby.
Once the root cause of a stressful situation is identified, stress techniques are employed to cope with, mitigate or even prevent the stress from happening again. The stress techniques involve problem-focussed methodology requiring the need to identify the root causes of a stressful situation and employing effective solutions to eliminate the root causes.

Stress Technique, Stress Prevention: Keep Yourself Busy
I am retired and one of the actions that I take to prevent potential stress situations like boredom and inactive mind etc. was to keep myself busy. One of my projects that I undertake is online business. I have searched extensively for good Affiliate Programs and found one as an excellent choice as there is no need for me to set up a website. Before we embark on spending our hard earned retirement money on some small business ventures, it is a good practice to conduct a Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA), as follows:
You should take into consideration the overall actual costs to be incurred, as follows:
1. Initial one time charge for the first month was $x
2. Reoccurring fee of $y every month.
To build up the business and earn passive income and potentially financial freedom, my initial target is to obtain three (3) paying members. If I have many friends, colleagues and relatives, this is easily achievable if I will to inform them of the benefits. I will then earn the following incomes:
1. I will earn a total of $z Retail Bonus the very next week. I am already in the money when compared with the initial one time charge for the first month of $x by $5.05
2. I will receive Residual Income of commissions every month.
3. Infinity bonus of every member order in my entire organization.
4. The compensation program pays out generational bonuses.
5. Every month, an entire 10% of all the company business volume is split amongst all members who have achieved certain ranks. For being a 1 star associate (achieved with 3 paying members recruited), I will share 35% of the total bonus pools.
In conclusion, I notice that with my initial target of three (3) paying members recruited from my friends, colleagues, relatives etc, the initial one time charge for the first month of $x is already paid for. Items 2 to 5 above would have covered many times over the reoccurring fee of $y every month. In my opinion, the program offers a way to earn money every month.
As I have noticed, the analysis is very conservative. My sponsors have already included many paying members in my team (about 40 members as of today) without me doing anything. I could have recruited more than 3 paying members as I build up my business. This will increase my income every month. The power of this program is passive income from items 2 to 5 above as the size of my team/organization increases. The ultimate goal is to keep myself busy besides getting some forms of financial rewards.
The analysis also did not take into account the incredible savings that I receive every month with the awesome product lines including discount membership cards, grocery coupons, cash back rewards program etc. I can save up to 50% on shopping, tickets, sport events, dining, movies, golf greens fees and many others. In fact, some members of the team save more than the $y that they pay every month.
