One of the first things you learn in Business 101 is to always have the end in mind…

Amish and I were recently approached by a company called Bitzio who were interested in purchasing our company Digispace, mainly to acquire the ownership rights to our famous Magic Bullet System and Tracking Platform.

Bitzio is a company involved in mobile technology, specifically mobile applications for smart phones. They want to give the Magic Bullet System a face-lift and incorporate some new features and technology into it. It should be really exciting stuff!

So Bitzio wanted to acquire Digispace and approached Amish and I with a deal we simple couldn’t refuse. The numbers were great, their motives were on-point, so we made the deal to make it happen.

That being said…

Amish and I aren’t going anywhere!

We are both still heavily involved in the internet marketing space and we both have some big plans we are focusing on right now…

Amish has become very passionate about building apps for Smartphones and he is killing it right now! He recently releases his course, The App Code, and has been practicing what he preaches!

You can keep in touch with Amish by checking out his personal blog here:

As for me, my passion has always lied in social media and I’m going to be returning to my roots. I used to make $50k+ per day just on MySpace promoting affiliate offers and now the social scene is way better! I really missed the social media game so I’m excited to get back to dominating it all over again now that it is much bigger than it was when I started focusing on the Magic Bullet training a few years back.

To get things started off right…
I’m going to be building a huge multi-million dollar social media marketing business this next year in a bunch of different niches. I recently ran a Facebook contest for my good friend Frank Kern and we were able to generate over 11,000+ unique opt-ins in only a few short days using only 100% viral traffic! How would you like to be able to do the same thing?

I’ve also been working behind-the-scenes on some awesome new stuff for you guys like an awesome social media contest platform and some crazy-advanced self-hosted tracking technology that is going to be insane!

I’m really ready to take my business to the next level and I hope you’ll join me. I’m going to be giving away a bunch of free training material over the next few months, tools, some of my personal resources I use regularly and even some money-making methods you can use to quickly rake in some cash if you need to.

But more importantly, building the Magic Bullet brand into a $15 million dollar business really taught me some valuable lessons that I would love to share with you. I know these lessons will not only help you build a million dollar business yourself, but will also help you avoid some of the pitfalls and hard-lessons I learned on my way to the top.

Are you ready to finally make something happen with your internet marketing efforts?
Have you been in IM for a few years but haven’t really found a place to call “home”?
Do you want to build a real-solid business that products revenue and not keep making a few bucks here and there to make ends meet?

If you answered “Yes” to any of those questions than I invite you to join me and follow me as I not only build a highly-successful company in less than 12 months, but also help you build one as well along the way.

We can do this together…

Are you ready to take the next step in your life?

You can have all the passion, visions, dreams and goals you want…
…but until you actually DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, they are just “thoughts”.

Let’s make shit happen TODAY.

“You tell me who your friends are and I’ll tell you who you’ll be”

I remember when my Aunt used to tell me that when I was growing up. I’m sure you may have heard it here or there as well when you were younger.

What does it mean exactly?

Well, there is a general rule of thumb someone came up with many years ago that basically states that you probably earn a yearly income that is the average income of the Top Five people you surround yourself with (not including your children or significant other). So if you were to list your Top Five friends and estimate their yearly incomes, it has been proven time and time again that more often than not, your income will fall somewhere in the median of those five people.

Here’s my point…

It is no secret these days that surrounding yourself with like-minded people who are motivated to become wealthy or have already achieved success in their businesses is the best way to get on the right path to success and wealth yourself.

You will discuss business more frequently, feel more motivated and driven to reach your goals and have better opportunities than someone who is surrounded with people in less-fortunate situation.

While there have been many studies to prove this, I have my own personal story I would like to share with you today in hopes that it will inspire you to take a different path than I did and help you avoid some of the pitfalls I have found myself in previously.

I have personally made over $10 million dollars in the past few years marketing online. I have almost lost it all at the same time.

I almost lost it all by surrounding myself with people that didn’t have the same dreams and aspirations as me. They were what I like to call the “same routine every month” crew. They are the guys that like to live life in the social scene constantly, partying every day and coming up with an agenda. You know those types – they have Monday Fun Day’s, Taco Tuesday’s, Industry Night Thursday’s, etc. They always end up complaining that they are broke but keep to the same agenda that landed them there in the first place.

I was one of those guys for a period of time…

I found myself going through some major changes in my personal life. I was in the midst of a divorce, I was involved in some lawsuits and I just wasn’t happy with the business I was in. Instead of facing it like a man, I decided to go party the feelings away. It didn’t make me any happier and it also didn’t help the problems go away. It also left my unmotivated to work towards my goals and gave me a lack of energy and focus.

It wasn’t until I decided to leave that crowd that things started to turn a new leaf for me again.

I started networking and hanging out with people like me. The guys and girls that love to talk ‘tech’ and internet business. As soon as I started hanging out with these folks, everything changed…

My passion to build businesses came back. I once I again felt the urge to challenge myself to do great things and defy the odds of ‘normal’. I was in a much better place personally and…

I was attracting wealth.

The more I noticed these changes, the more I thought back to when I first started the cycle that had originally helped me make my first $10 million dollars. It was that passion to be somebody that had got me there. It helped me make the decision to join the Navy when I turned 18. It helped me work hard enough with my real estate venture to get me noticed by Donald Trump and have him hire me at only 23.

It was also what helped me get back up after I got knocked down.

If things just don’t seem to be going right in your life, try looking around and seeing where your support system lies.

Are you surrounding yourself with the right types of people?

Your friends don’t necessarily have to be successful to be a good candidate for your network, but they should have the passion to achieve more, to never settle for just enough and should be motivated to become better people.

This will ensure you feel the same way and are always looking to achieve greatness in your own life.

What do you think about attracting wealth? Are there some changes you need to make in your life today?

Let me know your thoughts below!

Hey guys,

Hopefully you’ve read the Introduction to this post already. If you haven’t, please go back and read it before beginning this one.

You can find it here:

http://jaystyles.com/ youre-only-1-mind-tweak-away-from-success

In my previous post I introduced you to the mindset you need to have to make it in business or internet marketing. Today let’s talk about it a bit more in-depth. It’s what I like to call:

Laying the Foundation

Laying the foundation is the process of deciding on what it is that you want in life. Not just tangible things, but also feelings, memories, and accomplishments you want to achieve…

How do you see yourself living a day in the ideal life of yours?
Are you lying next to someone when you wake up?
Who are you with?
What would you do that day?
Where would you go?
What do you smell?

Yes, go as deep as to even imagine the scents and smells around you. The more you can learn to understand what you really desire, the happier you are going to be.

What do you really want in this life of yours? It amazes me how many people don’t take the time to actually think about this.

It was my actually my good friend Frank Kern that first asked me that question and I’ll never forget the day. I was watching his Core Influence video series and I was thinking, “How is this dude so gangsta?” I mean he had so much energy – he was determined, confident and was making a good deal of money. I went to bed that night and was barely able to get any sleep thinking about it. I finally figured it out early the next morning.

It was because he was focused on what he wanted in his life.

To be perfectly honest, I only recently discovered what I really wanted in my life, and let me tell you I am the happiest I have ever been! I already have pretty much everything I could ever ask for in my ideal life. I have two great boys and we get to enjoy the finer luxuries in life together each and every day. Once you find out what you want in life it becomes ‘tunnel vision’ to you.

You emit an energy and confidence so strong that it literally attracts others to you who want to reflect the same expressions!

Bill Glazer said it best when he said,

“Most people are wandering around with their umbilical cord in hand, just looking for a place to plug in.”

Why? It’s because you know exactly what you want… and most others don’t.

Yet most people just don’t get it. You do have the 1% of people that actually do get it – and become successful because of it – but what about the other 99% that don’t? Well these types of people usually go through life thinking to themselves that they will figure out what they want when they have money. They figure they shouldn’t focus on what they really want until they have the money to get it. What ends up happening is they never end up with the money and when they do finally figure out what they actually want, they’re life has already been passing by without them. Do you see the problem here?

I’m telling you right now, you’re not going to get what you want in life until you know what that is!

Once you know what those things are you can ask yourself, “What can I do to get this” or “What else can I do to get that”?

You need to think about everything. You need to picture your entire dream life including what you would do during the day, places you would go, people you would see, and everything in between.

Once you have figured out your ideal life, you can enter the details into your D.I.G. Calculator.

Your probably thinking, “What D.I.G. Calculator? I don’t have one!”

Well, today I am giving you my D.I.G. calculator for FREE.

Although I was planning to originally release this only to a select group of people inside one of our mastermind projects, today I am giving it to YOU at no cost whatsoever.

So what exactly am I giving you today?

Your D.I.G. Calculator is a system I built to help you find out your income goals for living your ideal life. This will include all your potential expenditures as well as other current debts you may need to pay off like credit cards, medical bills or student loans.

Anything that involves money will be entered into your D.I.G. Calculator. Once you’ve finished entering in all the details into your D.I.G. Calculator, it will generate your own person DIG.

What is my DIG?

DIG stands for your Daily Income Goal. This income goal is the amount you would need to earn each day to live the life you just created. It is the approximate number (based on your expenditures) to your complete happiness and life you’ve been dreaming about. Depending on your dream lifestyle, you may need $200 per day or $1,000 per day. That means you would need to sell as little as one product a day or a few products each day to reach your DIG.

Once you have your DIG it should put your life’s roadmap into perspective. Since you now know what you want, you can start focusing on what matters…

What is going to get you to your DIG?

The next time you’re reading about a new information product or some new money-making method on a forum ask yourself, “Is this going to help me reach my DIG?”

Ask yourself this question throughout the day like when you sit down to watch TV or want to go out and party. I do like to party myself, but I knew that in order to party and live that type of lifestyle I had to first reach my DIG.

Find out what you want in life and then calculate you’re D.I.G. It will motivate you to work towards that lifestyle…

You deserve to have.

Best,

Jay Styles

I find myself wanting to tell you so many things but sometimes I just can’t figure out a way to properly structure and organize everything I need to say.

This morning I decided I’m just going to tell it how it is

So here it is…

This is my mind.
This is ‘Jay Styles’.

The internet has presented an opportunity unlike no other in history. The internet is still relatively new and it continues to change at lightning speeds.

While this might sound a bit overwhelming at first, it should be absorbed as quite the opposite actually. With change comes opportunity, which basically means that as the internet continues to grow, so do the opportunities surrounding it.

There are literally a million ways to make a significant amount of money online.

You no longer need to be a big corporation or huge multi-million dollar business to make it in this world. There are tons of people starting businesses today from their garages or in their kitchens that will be the next big thing in years to come.

It’s about us now, the people. The internet has given us the opportunity to compete with the likes of other people and Fortune 500 companies all at the same time… I mean look at me.

I grew up without anything. I didn’t even have the privilege to go home to a mother and father like most of you did.

I grew up in the hood. Brooklyn, NY was my stomping ground and let me tell you it wasn’t easy. I have seen poverty first hand and it’s something I wouldn’t wish upon anybody… ever.

So how did this kid from Brooklyn start competing with the big dogs online?

My first internet-based venture was pretty simple…

I had a company in China to send me some sample Mini Helicopters and after setting up a cool looking landing page to sell them on and sending some traffic to it, I was making more than I ever could have working a career (even with a degree). I couldn’t even supply the demand for these things… and they were just RC Helicopters!

What about when I as using MySpace to promote affiliate offers and pulling in over $50k per day? Did I have some huge corporate building with 100’s of employees?

No, it was just me and my laptop.

What made my business thrive? Customer Service

When I couldn’t keep up with the orders, I had to call most of my customers and tell them I just simply didn’t have the stock in hand. I offered them a refund but most of them told me they’d wait.

They were happy I had given them that personal connection that most businesses didn’t, and it made them feel even more secure in their purchase.

That’s why the internet is such a powerhouse. It is this giant infrastructure of communication. You can reach your customers and connect with new ones through all kinds of different methods. Twitter, social networks like Facebook and Myspace, blogs, email and more…

As the internet grows, people are buying more merchandise and services from other people rather than giant companies. They want to talk to someone… not something.

Most people are only one thought away from being able to tell their own rags-to-riches story. You can import products all day long and make more cash than you could have ever imagined. You can create an information product covering something your good at or a hobby you like and make good money selling that information to other people.

It’s all about thinking outside the box…

If you can’t think outside the box you can copy one of the many things I’ve already shown you how to do in some of my products I’ve released and still make a sick income by simply copying me!

I mean seriously, anybody can tell you I’m no Einstein.

I’m not some Harvard Scholar that got my Doctrine in 12 different subjects.

I’m a high school dropout. I have a G.E.D. and the only reason I have that is because I needed it to get into the Military back in the day.

Even without an impressive resume of my educational achievements or a list of companies I’ve worked for showing how I climbed to the top of some corporate ladder by gaining rank in modern-day Corporate America…

I still managed to create a full-time income selling mini RC helicopters out of my bedroom.

I still created a business on MySpace that made me $50k a day on almost complete auto-pilot.

I still somehow built a multi-million dollar affiliate marketing business that makes up to $100k per day by simply testing and doing what worked over and over.

I even created a software development business that has grown so significantly over the past few years that it was featured in the Inc 500 in 2010 as one of the fastest growing companies in America simply by taking ideas and turning them into systems that help companies each and every year automate their business and lessen the daily work load they usually face.

I’ve made millions of dollars and built multi-million dollar companies…

How?

By simply taking some of my ideas and running with them. I never stopped running. I’ll never stop running either.

That’s why I’m here. That’s why I’m telling my story.

No matter what the circumstances are that are currently surrounding you, no matter how trapped you feel in your current situation – you can think outside the box and create any life you choose.

You know how your parents told you that you could be anything you ever wanted in life?

Why can’t that be true after all?

You can create a business from an idea and live the life you have always wanted.

I am here to help you.

I have been in a bad situation before. I was in what some call a “bad situation” for most of my life actually.

I am your living, breathing proof that ANYONE who wants to change their life can do it.

Take my story as your inspiration.
Read my blog posts as your motivation.
Copy my ideas to avoid procrastination.

Keep grinding and you WILL change your life.

To your success,

Jay Styles

Ordering flowers for the wife at 1800Flowers.com and strangely noticed how they started to integrate that new Facebook “Like” button.

Now you know we are going to start seeing these buttons everywhere. GUARANTEED!

I mean, let’s look at what the Free Trial CPA boom proved to us…

Put comments on a blog and the “social proof” increases conversions dramatically.

The bottom line is that “social proof” causes people to trust a product and buy it!

Start integrating these social “Like” buttons NOW before you are left in the dust.

Integrate it on your Blogs, Products, Landing Pages and stay ahead of curve!

SERIOUSLY!!

What do you think will happen when all your competitors are “liked” and your website shows 0 “likes”?

Integrate Facebook “Like” and see the following results:

1. Increased Conversions
2. Help with SEO Ranking
3. Trust in your page
4. Tons more

Here’s a quick video I did on how easy it is to setup the Facebook “Like” into your pages.

Wasn’t that Easy hehe

so an employee of mine showed me this quote today and how it related to my point of view.

“Most people think they need to know exactly what they want to do when they start a business, but they’re wrong. If you go into something with a very specific plan, you might be so focused on your goal that you won’t see the promising opportunities that present themselves as you make your way along. Take the blinders off. Look around. Don’t be afraid to go off on all sorts of unusual directions, since that’s where you might just find the most unusual—and promising—opportunities.”

That’s why we changed our focus and became a platform in the virtual currency space. And have had tremendous success thus far. It’s a new, multi-billion dollar market with a bigger challenge and something I feel we can dominate.

so sick!! I get asked all the time why i am focused on so many things… this is exactly why!! our world is changing and opportunities are short lived…

I think by looking at all the opportunities out there you’ll eventually find one that hits and when it hits it’ll hit big ( 80/20 in action ).  Something that worked yesterday might not work today due to the fact that more and more people are connecting & Sharing knowledge.  ( Look at Pay per Click. How easy is it now to track a keyword down to a sale?  those who realized it was easy started sharing knowledge and now the playing field is being evenly distributed unless new inovated products like MB-X are developed    ) Prosper worked back then for payperclick tracking but now we are starting to see that search is dieing.  So how good is keyword tracking now?

The world is has become a level playing field for everyone all over the world.  Corporate America is failing because they aren’t acting quickly. You now have young entrepreneurs developing tools & products that can literally be launched in days.. that’s why we can’t fall into the same hole of trying to do things as those before us, our generation will determine the future of how business is done… We are the future and the past is just that!

this is why you shouldn’t be spending weeks on developing products because within that week Vitaly from Ukraine just launched the same thing.

You have entrepreneurs launching products within minutes while Corporate America has to go through this huge ass process in order to get it to market…

so while more and more products show up online and hit record sales that Corporate Business’s thought where impossible.. the more the playing field flattens out.. taking from those who had to those who are more about innovation rather than traditional thinking.

what do you think happens when Adam launches his Acai product and realizes that he never has to work again just by showing others how to do the same.. globalization now kicks in and everyone is on the train.

this causes money to be distributed around the world at a rapid pace and eventually in time changes the way business is done .

take these guys for example:  Millionaires Under 30 that made it within what a few years.. How many more you think will show up on this list in the next coming years… a shit load more.

1. Mark Zuckerberg is 23 and created Facebook worth $700 million
2. Andres Gower is 28 and created Runescape which is worth $650 million
3. Chad Hurley is 30 and created Youtube worth $300 million
4. Blake Ross & David Hyatt are 22 and created Mozilla software worth $120 million
5. Andrew Michael is 29 and created Fast Hosts worth $110 million
6. Angelo Sotira is 26 and created Deviant Art worth $75 million
7. John Vechey is 28 and created PopCap Games worth $60 million
8. Alexander Levin is 23 and created Image Shack worth $56 million
9. Jack Nickell is 28 and created Threadless worth $50 million
10. Greg Tseng and Johann Schleier-Smith are 28 and created Tagged worth $45 million
11. Sean Belnick is 20 and created BizChair worth $42 million
12. Matt Mullenweg is 23 and created WordPress worth $40 million
13. Kevin Rose is 30 and created Digg worth $31 million
14. Aodhan Cullen is 24 and created Stat Counter worth $25 million
15. Markus Frind is 29 and created Plenty of Fish worth $23 million
16. Robert Small is 24 and created miniClips worth $23 million
17. Ryan Block is 25 and created Engadget worth $20 million
18. Matt Mickiewicz is 24 and created Sitepoint worth $18 million
19. Tom Fulp is 29 and created Newgrounds worth $15 million
20. Rishi Kacker and Matt Pauker are 24 and created Voltage worth $12 million
21. Catherine and David Cook are 17 & 19 and created My Year Book worth $10 million
22. Fredrik Neij is 28 and created The Pirate Bay worth $10 million
23. David Levich is 25 and created Iced Out Gear worth $10 million
24. Jeremy Stoppelman and Russel Simmons are 30/29 and created Yelp worth $10 million
25. David Hauser & Siamak Taghaddos are 24 and created Gotvmail worth $8 million

money in the past was distributed among the rich, now money is being distributed among many tribes! Those who execute the fastest are those while will succeed.

you have most of the younger generation in the US waiting for that new ipod to come out while you have kids in india with Science degrees in quantum physics … you have 24 yr old’s in the US worshiping Britney Spears while the kids in Russia worship Bill Gates!

we have to start realizing that globailization is real and that their are people out there with the same hunger as you.. Its just a matter of who will execute first?

Here is a good video you should all watch on Globalization.. it’ll give u a better picture of why people are being laid off and where things are going.
