My business goals & action

This post is a summary of my business goals and actions based on Cash in a Flash.

In one of my other posts I talked about our goal of creating an exercise DVD for moms and their kids. The DVD will be something moms can do at home and incorporate their children into the workout. Because our passion is both family and health & fitness we want to make this more than just a DVD.

We plan to create an online community where moms can learn about health and fitness through additional resources. At this time we are working on the filming of the DVD and plan to have it available by the end of June.

Our website is also under construction. This idea was a 'low hanging fruit' for us. My husband has the knowledge of the exercise portion and I am a mom of small children so I understand what moms are looking for.

It is something we felt we could put together fairly quickly and something that would fill a need in the marketplace.

The 3rd chapter of Cash in a Flash

In chapter three we learn that the formula to success is S= M + H + T. Success=a focused mind (vision)+a determined heart(inner winner)+a team of focused, determined people(your dream team).



The mind, heart and team are the 20% you need to get right because that will get you 80% towards your goal. It is the old saying of 20% of what you do gets you 80% of your results and 80% of what you do gets you 20% of your results.



The mind, heart and team are the strong foundation of fast cash. If your mind can see a goal but your heart can't feel it and get excited about it then you won't accomplish that goal. Most people will not work on the heart/mind stuff and will then get sidetracked by fear, procrastination, self-doubt, etc. and not accomplish their goals.

About the 2nd chapter of Cash in a Flash

In chapter two we learn that there are 3 key ingrediants for financial success.

1. A clear vision of what you are trying to create. We need to virtualize, with all 5 senses what we are trying to create. For example, virtualize what your life will look like in 5 years when you have financial freedom. See the house, hear the sounds, smell the smells, etc.

2. Make friends with your Inner Winner. Make that voice inside of you that is encouraging and supportive louder than the voice that is critical and nagging.

3. You need a team-you can't achieve it on your own. The key number for this team is 5.

Another key point in this chapter is that fear is the ingrediant the ruins most recipes of financial freedom. It is important to push past the fear and go for it anyway.

The first chapter of Cash in a Flash book

One of the things that we got at the event was access to the first 3 chapters of the Cash in a Flash book. Over the next few days I am going to give a summary of what I have learned in each of those chapters so that you can get an idea of the strategies in the book.

In the first chapter of Cash in a Flash I learned about approaching wealth building like a recipe.

Each ingrediant is important and it is important to be accurate and follow the recipe carefully in order to get the result you want. Instead of 'making up my own recipe' it is more productive to follow the recipe of someone who has already been successful and gotten the results I am looking for.

I also learned that residual income is the key to creating lasting wealth-getting paid multiple times for the work that you do.

It is smarter to build residual income streams as opposed to linear income streams where you are only getting paid once for your work.

My Plan after the Cash in a Flash event

The 3 days at Cash in a Flash was definitely life changing, just as I suspected it would be. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity that will allow us to have a different lifestyle in the next 90 days.

I walked out of there a new person with a different perspective on what I was capable of accomplishing. I also left knowing that this time it was going to be different when I got home because I had my group of 5 that was going to be holding me accountable.

I left KNOWING I was going to accomplish my goal, not just HOPING I would. I met a group of people that I will be connected to forever, not just for the next 90 days. These are people that I can call upon to answer a question or provide a resource any time I need it in the future.

I am going to achieve the goal of my husband and I working for ourselves and not for a boss. We are planning to earn a living from home through several different methods.

Our primary project is an exercise DVD for moms and their children. This will be more than just an exercise DVD, it will be an online community that will help families be healthy and fit together in an affordable way. In addition we will do some affiliate marketing and real estate investing. We hope that our success will inspire other 'average' people to do great things.

Amazing people I met from around the world at this event

I learned amazing things during the 3 days of the Cash in a Flash event.


I learned more about internet marketing than I ever imagined I could understand. I learned about being confident in what you are doing, believing in yourself. I also learned the power of a group-the resources that are available when you are part of a group working towards a common goal are amazing. Everyone wanted to help each other.


Being a part of the small group of 5 is also important. This is a group of people that I have gotten to know on a different level. We help keep each other energized and focused on our goal. We help each other fill in our weak points and hold each other accountable. I have learned that to be successful you have to step out of your comfort zone. Staying inside your comfort zone will not get you where you want to be.


I have also learned the importance of affirmations and visualizations and speaking your visions as if you have already achieved them. Your mind is a powerful thing.


I met people from around the world at this event. We were also in the room with some amazingly connected people. Mark and Bob have connections that are beyond what I could imagine. Simon and Lee also have amazing connections. We met Gay Hendricks, a well connected pubicist named Arialle and Paul Hannon, author of 'The Magic of Groundhog Day'. These are people we would have never had access to on our own.

On day 2 of the event

On day 2 we spent most of the day learning from Simon Leung and Lee Collins.

They taught us how to get on the front page of google, talked about Twitter and basically gave us a ton of internet marketing information. I learned a ton that day as I am not internet marketing savvy-it has always been overwhelming to me but Lee and Simon made it feel manageable and easy to understand.

We also heard from Gay Hendricks about going from working in your level of excellance to your level of genius. We spent more time with our groups throughout the day talking through our ideas and working on a plan to get started.

By day 2 we were really starting to connect not only as a small group but also the group as a whole. It was amazing the resources that were available through the group and the energy that was felt as we all started our journey towards a common goal.

My experience on first day of the Cash in a Flash event

On the first day of the event I was nervous about being with a bunch of people that I didn't know and hoping that it was going to be worth the money that I spent.

I sat in the front row-I didn't want to miss anything. Spending that day with Bob and Mark was pretty amazing. I got the feeling that we were seeing them in a way most people don't get the opportunity to see them. We learned the basics of what Cash in a Flash is about-finding your low hanging fruit, having your team, affirmations and other things to put yourself in the right mindset to make money.

We were put in groups of 5 and spent our breaks and the evening getting to know each other and working on our ideas and sifting through them to see what could make money quickly and what would be a more long term project.

Prior to Cash In a Flash event

My husband and I have always been interested in ways to make money outside of a traditional job. In fact, most of our debt is from exploring different business opportunities. Unfortunately we have not had much success in the past.

I received the 'One Minute Millionaire' book by Robert G. Allen and Mark Victor Hansen for Christmas this past year and loved it. I then signed up at the one minute millionaire website and we went on to become a part of EWI Protege program. We were in the process of taking those classes when I got on a phone call about Cash in a Flash-the sequel book to the 'One Minute Millionaire'. During the call we were offered the opportunity to be a part of a small group that would go to California and learn the strategies that will be in the book when it comes out. We would be the success stories for the book. I felt like being a part of that group was a once in a lifetime opportunity because it would be such a small group and it seemed that failure would not be an option. It felt like this was the key to making our dreams happen.

We didn't have the money required to participate so at first I didn't call in to be a part of the group. But, I didn't sleep that night because I kept thinking about how I would feel when that book came out and I read it and saw the names of the people that participated and were successful and my name wasn't a part of that. I felt like if I didn't do this I would regret it for the rest of my life. We borrowed the money from my Dad and I signed up. I knew that it would be a life changing experience.
