I just recently read an article in my ETR (Early To Rise) newsletter, called The 25-50-25 Formula for Business Success by Bob Bly. He addresses the state of overwhelm we find ourselves in with all the information available on the internet. It should be called the Information Overload Age!

There is a tremendous buzz around Attraction Marketing or Social Marketing and how to apply it to Internet Network Marketing.

It's as though we have become addicted to getting more and more information...we buy online courses, e-books, attend conferences, sign up for webinars etc etc. We take notes and more notes and before you know it several weeks or months have passed and we're still getting our ducks in a row. Bob Bly says we are suffering from a syndrome called "analysis paralysis". We have taken in so much information that we don't know what to do first. We go down all sorts of rabbit trails but at the end of the day you have accomplished little. You have taken no real action. He says, "You have become a marketing-information junkie - avoiding the harsh realities of the business world by retreating to your favorite comfy chair with yet another neat marketing book." Bly does offer a solution. He calls it the 25-50-25 rule. This rule says that studying, observing and doing are the only three ways to learn how to do something. You must put into action what you have learned. He teaches us to divide our time. Spend no more than 25% of your time reading and studying and no more than 25% of your time observing successful people in your field. Then spend at least 50% of your time DOING what you are observing and reading about.

As Mike Litman says, "You don't have to get it right, you just have to get it going."

But how do you actually DO this? In my opinion Mike Klingler provides the solution. I was so overwhelmed by the sheer volume of great information that Ann Sieg offers in her back end system when you purchase The Renegade Network Marketer that I was going in all directions at once. I simply didn't know what to do first. Along comes Mike Klingler with Renegade University and Renegade Professional. He was so impressed with Ann Sieg's eBook, The Renegade Network Marketer that he chose it as his course book. He provides step by step, click by click tutorials that you can follow along with at your own speed. He emphasizes the 'doing" part. The biggest benefit Mike offers is he gets you taking action; not over thinking it. He calmly repeats what we need to hear over and over until we really get it. He asks us not to worry about the big picture. He advises against perfectionism, you can always go back and edit later. He simply does not allow for "analysis paralysis"; it's a process and he keeps you moving forward one step at a time.

This type of teaching is unprecedented on the internet. More money can be made by selling you an E-Book and leaving you to your own devices. Since implementing what I have learned through the Renegade Professional upgrade (which you can test drive for a week for $1) I have my own blog with several articles written, a Squidoo article, a hub page, I'm on Digg and now I have written my first ezine article! I hadn't even heard of these sites a little over a month ago! I have been saved from "analysis paralysis!" Thank you Mike!
