1) Get up half an hour earlier. Forget any negative associations getting up early might have ever had for you. This time, it’s about making sure you start the day by making time for YOU.

2) Stand in front of an open window and do some breathing exercises. Start with your feet flat on the floor and your arms by your sides, then rise SLOWLY on to your toes. As you do, breathe in as deeply as you can and bring your arms slowly upwards till your hands meet above your head, then slowly, gently and without strain, reach as far upwards as you can.

3) Have a light but nourishing breakfast. Too many calories will make you sluggish - but too few, or none at all, can adversely affect your mental energy.
4) As you enjoy your breakfast, think of something exhilarating that you plan to do today .Spend a few minutes feeling grateful for some of the good things in your life.

5) Spend a few minutes thinking about the main ambition that you have.  Even if what you’re doing at the moment’s just the day-job that lets you pay the bills for now, see whatever you have to do today as step towards achieving your ambition.

If you are already running an affiliate program for your products, you should know that a large number of people who sign up for your program never to be heard from again.  You can however, reduce the number of non productive affiliates by remaining in touch with them constantly.

Remind them of their usernames and passwords, and tell them where to log in to check their stats or get creative.  Always keep them informed of new product lines or changes in policy or procedures.

The key to motivation is making sure that you stay in touch.  Always pay attention to who your to sellers are, and make sure that you contact them on a regular basis.  Pay attention to who your worst producers are, and make sure you stay in touch with them constantly as well.

The main reason most affiliates don’t perform that well is because they don’t possess any leadership or guidance.  This can easily be changed by writing a marketing course, which you can even offer for  sale to non affiliates, although you should make it available to your affiliates at no charge.

Provide your affiliates with sales letters, reviews, ads, banners of different shapes and sizes, and  anything else that comes to mind.  Be sure that your affiliates know the material is there for them to use.  Always listen to your affiliates, and get the proper feedback on your material.

You should also hold virtual meetings.  Set up chat rooms where your affiliates can attend virtual meetings on a weekly basis.  Be sure to answer any questions, have motivated speakers, and aything else you can think of to make the meetings more motivated.

Given your affiliates the credit they deserve is also very important.  Each month, you should give credit to the best performers in your affiliate newsletter.  Give small bonuses to those that  perform well, and you can even set up a payment structure that rewards higher commissions and bigger volumes of sales.

Always make sure you do everything you can to  help your affiliates succeed and make money in your program.  If they are making money - you are succeeding and making money as well.  In reality - their success is your success.
