Buying Half a Set of Golf Clubs Saves Money

If you are just starting to play golf, buy half a set of clubs while you are learning to save money. When a beginner uses the more advanced clubs, he or she will likely encounter nothing but frustration. If you are a beginner and you want to buy some golf clubs of your own, you should look at some of the options that are alternative to buying a full new set of clubs. You can use a few different options (and even combine them if youíre lucky enough to find such a deal) to get golf clubs without doing too bad of a number on your wallet. The first way that a beginning golfer can get away with these huge savings is to buy a half set of clubs. This will not only save money and be lighter to carry, but it will also improve your game since you will have less of the more advanced clubs to choose from.

The half-set doesnít have a combination that is set in stone. Usually you will end up having to choose a few to exclude and include. In most cases, a half set will include 4, 6, and 8 irons, as well a sand iron and a pitching wedge. It will include several woods, as well as a putter. Using these clubs, you will be able to have one available that will work in almost every situation. There are certain equivalencies between clubs that will allow you to drop them from your collection. For example, a 5 wood and a 2 iron have very similar. However, the wood will allow you more forgiveness if you hit it a little bit off-center. Therefore you can drop the 2 iron from your golf club set until you become enough of an expert to really need the unique hit it will give you.

Having a half set of clubs will usually allow for a beginner to really improve his or her swing before getting really involved in the game. Once you have had the half set for a while and you are proficient in using them and swinging them, you can begin to think about moving up to a full club set. The experience that you have gained from using the half set will carry over to the new ones, and you will be much more skilled than if you had simply started with the full set. It will also give you a chance to figure out your own personal preferences such as club length and head weight. When you buy the full set, you will be much more positive that it is the perfect golf club set for you.

You can acquire a half club set in one of several different methods. The first is to simply buy one that is geared towards beginning golfers. This could be a good choice, but you should definitely try them out before you buy them. An even better way to get a half-set is to mix and match individual golf clubs. Many club stores will allow you to do this, and you will just need to get some advice from an expert golfer as to which ones you will most certainly need when you are out on the golf course. Ask an experienced golfer to go shopping with you to help pick out the best clubs for your half-set.

How to Make This Year Your Best Year Ever

Every year I’ve been in business for myself online
has been better than the previous one. Recently, I
decided to create an “Apprentice” program (Yes, even
before Trump) and I was extremely pleased that we
had nearly 100% of my Apprentices get an online
venture up and running.

I’ve gone back and thought about their projects and how
they developed and I came to a striking conclusion that
will be worth a lot of money to you this year if you heed it.
There was one key aspect that got them off their butts and
making money and it came down to one thing…

…A Deadline!

As simple as that sounds, once a firm deadline was
established that’s when the rubber met the road and all
obstacles melted away like snow flakes in a frying pan.
I’ll give you a perfect example for one Apprentice we were
going back and forth a bit tidying up some finishing
touches on the project and trying to get it out the door.
Many times people can try to make everything too perfect
and it never gets out making money so we said we are
launching this project at the LIVE Apprentice Summit. That
was it and that was final.

The date of the Summit was getting closer and closer and I
could see this Apprentice start to sweat a bit. But I made
him make the commitment to this deadline publicly during
our group call and he couldn’t back out now.

Fast forward to the day of his launch he had multiple
obstacles that would normally have put the project on hold
get swept away but not now. With the firm deadline in place
and the opportunity for him to be embarrassed our fine
Apprentice finished his project. We hit the ’send’ button
and he made a tidy sum from a tiny list over the weekend.
And this was just the start because his project has made
well into the five figures already. And why did it get
finished?

The deadline once again.

What’s your deadline for your first project or your next
project?

Is it something that’s in your head? Not a good idea. It’s
pretty easy to keep moving that forward or letting other
things take precedence.

Who knows about your deadline and who’s going to hold you
to it? In some cases it’s not a good idea to share your
deadline or goal with another person, especially if they’re
the kind of negative energy vampire a lot of well-meaning
friends and family are. But if you’ve got a group of
colleagues all with the same thinking use them. This works
especially well if you don’t want to look like an “idiot”
in front of them and they are people you really respect.

I’ll tell you what works for me and maybe it’ll work for
you too.

For me, I work best when I absolutely “have to” perform.

For instance my first product on Internet marketing
might never have been made (or at least it would have taken
much longer) if I didn’t sell it before it was done. In 2000
when I first started marketing online a lot of people wanted
to know exactly what I did and how I started making money
so fast.

Well, I got my first opportunity to share my story in
Atlanta at an Internet seminar. I was extremely nervous and
my heart was beating out of my chest to go talk in front of
100 strangers. I gave my presentation and then I sold this
product (yet to be created).

I told people it would be delivered in a few weeks so they
knew it was a prepublication offer. I walked away with 10
orders at $200 bucks. All well and good except I couldn’t
charge anyone until the manual was done. Even though it was
only $2,000 (less what I had to pay the promoter)

I knew that at least people wanted this information and I
could keep selling it once I finished it. I probably had a
week or two of 3 o’clock in the morning work sessions but I
completed it and charged the cards. I was under pressure to
get the manual done because these people paid me (though I
didn’t charge them) and I owed them the material.

Since then I’ve updated my course material and it’s been
worth well into the six figures just because “I had to
do it”.

How can you set something like this up for yourself? If you
can stand the pressure – you can decide to put on a tele-
seminar. This is one of my favorite ways of creating
product by a deadline. You can do either a one-time tele-
seminar or series of tele-seminars and you get paid to
produce the product. How great is that? It doesn’t matter
if you have 1 person or 1000 people on the call because
this is forcing you to create product and perform.

Once you’ve set your deadline for anything you’ll
“magically” see certain resources fall into place. Trust
me, it’s a bit eerie but when it occurs every time you set
a firm deadline you know there’s something to it. Just the
act of making the decision sets these events into motion
for you. It’s also because what you focus on becomes your
reality. Your perception has changed. Your internal
“radar” is now attuned to resources, allies, etc that can
help you get your project completed.

Now I leave you with one more secret…Set “mini
deadlines”.

When you’re looking at the whole task of setting up an
Internet business (or anything really) it’s easy to get
overwhelmed. But if you break everything up into small
tasks with their own deadlines you’ll be at your
destination before you know it. I promise it’ll work for
you. In fact, that’s one of the reasons I really like
Franklin planner systems (now Franklin Covey). I’ve been
using them since 1998 and that’s when I first started
making some significant changes in my life.

Actually the founder of Franklin, Hyrum Smith has a great
book called “The 10 Essential Laws of Time and Life
Management” – this should be required reading for you!

Even though I hate ad slogans (since they don’t work) this
one should become your mantra for the year – “Just Do It”.

As clich� and overused as it is – that’s all it comes down
to. Whether you’re willing to roll the dice and put
yourself out there a little. I promise whatever the worst
case scenario you’re thinking, it is far from the reality.

And if you need someone to send your deadline list to – go
ahead and email it to me. I’ll keep it confidential and
we’ll celebrate together when you reach your destination.

Dissolving Past Pain and Moving Forward in Your Life

Have you ever been hurt so badly that you thought you’d never come out on the other side? Perhaps you’re still holding onto that grief. If you are, then it’s time to learn how to let go of past pain. You deserve to let it go and learn how to move forward with your life.

Holding onto past pain and anguish is a kind of self-inflicted torture that can cause serious health risks as well as emotional scarring. The truth is, when you cling to the past, you’re internally changing your present.

How can something you’ve kept inside for so long just be let go? It’s not an easy task, but it can be done with a little effort and self-reflection.

Here are some ways you can let go of past pain and disappointment, so you can move forward with your head held high:

1. Know what’s holding you back. What are you holding onto and why? Identify the things you’re keeping inside that you shouldn’t be.

* For example, maybe your best friend betrayed you in a way that broke your trust. Recognize this and figure out a way to finally deal with it. Get in touch with them again, then explain the pain they’ve caused.

* They may not even be aware they did anything to upset you. Whether or not they apologize isn’t important. While it may be nice, you can’t control others or force them to say sorry. However, by simply voicing your feelings, you are finding closure from the hurtful situation.

* Getting closure on something that was left open-ended can make a huge difference in letting things go.

2. Talk it out. If the person who caused the hurt is still in your life, talk to them about the way they made you feel. If that person isn’t available, try to talk to a close friend or professional therapist about the situation.

* Getting your emotions out in the open can help you get over any resentment or anger you may be feeling. Bottling up your emotions is never a good thing. Let it all out in a constructive way and you’ll be amazed at how much better you’ll feel.

3. Forgive and forget. It may sound easier said than done, but forgiving someone who has hurt you can be extremely therapeutic. Strive to let things stay in the past and don’t allow them to affect your present.

* Once you learn to forgive the people who’ve caused your pain, you will find it far easier to heal and move on with your life.

4. Make the first move. You’re in charge of your pain. You’re the one who carries it around with you and you’re the only one who can change its intensity. It’s up to you to take control of the pain and take the first step towards making yourself feel better.

* Acknowledge that your pain is real and that a positive solution exists.

* Confront the cause of the pain and do everything in your power to get rid of it.

The best way to move forward is to forgive the past. If you can’t change the past, you might as well learn to accept it and move on. You’ll be glad you did once you see just how bright your future can be when you regain control of your life.

Make the conscious decision, today, to live your life free from pain and resentment.

Personal Development:I am the body in motion that stays in motion.

This universal law of physics applies to both my body and mind. Once I start an activity, it’s easy to maintain momentum. Knowing this, I can soar past obstacles in my path and remain focused on my tasks and goals.

I create my action plans so they begin with undemanding tasks. This allows me to start any project with ease. Then I can quickly complete that task and move effortlessly onto the next, gaining momentum as I move forward.

The energy of my forward momentum helps push challenges aside. My active and focused mind is able to figure out a way to work with or overcome difficulties. Sometimes I may have to alter my plans, but I always maintain momentum.

It is similar to a game of pool. Once the cue hits the ball with enough energy to give it a strong push, it continues its momentum regardless of anything in its path. When it hits another ball or the wall, it simply changes its path and keeps going.

Like the ball, each and every day I have a chance to take my turn and do with it what I will! I choose to maintain my forward momentum with my eyes on my prize, even if I must change my plan from time to time.

Just as the ball comes to a stop at the end of its turn, I wind down at the end of the day and rest. The next morning I feel rejuvenated and I have the energy to take another exciting turn in this wonderful game of life!

Today, I strive to be the body in motion that stays in motion. With my forward momentum, I can handle anything that steers me away from my tasks. I may change my route to overcome challenges that arise, but I am still on course to attain my goals.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. Do I include easy tasks at the start of my action plans?
2. What challenges in my life do I allow to stop my momentum?
3. Can I alter my path to get past my challenges so I can keep moving forward?
