Tip of the Week: How to Triple Your Productivity The trick is pretty simple: use three times as many monitors. I can keep a resource open on one monitor (research, notes, etc.) My working document on the center monitor. I can keep communication or utilities open on the third monitor. You can do this rather on the cheap (as I currently am). I use these three: my Macbook Pro 15″ Retina, and two run-of-the-mill 21″ LCD monitors. And once you decide this really works for you, you can upgrade with a specialized dock (which is what I'm doing next). I recommend you look at the Henge Dock. Why Henge Dock? Intelligent. Automated docking and full integration with Mac OS X together make the world’s most intelligent docking station. Powerful. Support for up to three external displays and 13 expansion ports, including Thunderbolt 2 – your Macbook has never been more powerful. Elegant. Metal architecture and an elegant design create a natural extension of your MacBook. Secure. Safeguard your MacBook automatically with password protected dock locking.

At a recent meeting of my mastermind group, I was asked an interesting question… “What exactly to you do, Ray?” It’s a great question that deserves more than just a one sentence answer, so I’ve decided to do something a little different for the next few episodes of The Ray Edwards Show. I’m going to do a deep dive on precisely how I help you start, run, and grow your online business. Don’t worry, all your favorite segments like Spiritual Foundations and Tip of the Week will still be there for your listening pleasure. In fact, this week in these segments I ask some compelling questions of my own, like: If you have a real relationship with someone, is it a one-day-a-week thing, or an everyday thing?

Send snail-mail from your iPhone. …and flair! Click here to download or listen to this episode now. Spiritual Foundations Decide What Kind of Day to Have “I will praise the Lord at all times. I will constantly speak his praises.” (Psalm 34:1, NLT) Our expectation determines our experience. We often leap to a conclusion about what things mean. For most people, the conclusion is often negative. We are all too prone to base our expectation of today on what happened yesterday, or the past few months, or the past few years. You may have had a rough day, week, month, or year. People in your life might be angry, negative, complainers, or even abusive. The fact is: it doesn't matter what happened in the past – that does not determine your future! You get to decide what kind of day you're going to have. Right now, you have the power to become the change you want to see in your life. Even if people are mean, bad things are happening all around you, and nothing may seem to be going your way. Expect the goodness of God to show up in your life, and expect Expect the goodness of God to show up in your life, and expect favor, blessings, and good success. Speak words of faith over your day, over your life and over your future. Get a bigger vision of your life, expect your path to be illuminated and clear, and make room for God to do something amazing for you. Pray This Way “Father, I praise You at all times. I choose to see your hand in my life, sending me grace, favor, and mercy. Thank you that you make all things work together for my good.

Spiritual Foundations Don't Get Attached to Outcomes Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.” But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. – James 4:13-16 Verse 17 says: “Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.” I think this is saying: we should just be looking for ways to help. Make plans, but don't obsess over things going exactly your way every time. There may be more important opportunities at work than you can currently see. Tip of the Week With Voxer you can: Turn your phone into a walkie-talkie. Talk, send text and photos — send live or recorded voice, text messages and photos instantly—to one person or an entire group.

Copywriting is the single most valuable skill you can develop in business. It's the only skill you can use to create more sales, out of thin air, without spending more on ads or changing your product or delivery. And if you need cash quick, you're going to love today's episode. We're going to explore proven methods that can produce nearly instant income. Specifically, I will be spelling out three killer copy tactics that create cash. Reliably. Time after time. And the funny part is, you just experienced two of them already. Also in this week's episode… How it's possible that God is offering you incredible gifts-and you are refusing to take them! An incredible new copywriting tutorial video series, that is absolutely 100% free. How to get it. …and there's more! Click here to download or listen to this episode now. Spiritual Foundations Don't Block Your Blessing “…Whatever He says to you, do it.” (John 2:5, NKJV) If I offer you a gift, holding out to you with arms extended, but you keep your hands in your pockets… To whom does the gift still belong? I can't force you to take it. Yet, sometimes this is how we behave in life. There are gifts that are right in front of us, we have our hands firmly stuffed in our pockets, oblivious to what life is offering us. there are times when we are so focused on the only thing we can think about (such as needing more money) that we fail to see what God is offering to us in the here and now. Usually, it will lead us directly to what we need provision for. You might say, “I get that, but I do need money and I don't have my hands in my pockets. But God still hasn't supplied me with the money.” We'll keep in mind that the “hands in pockets” thing is a metaphor. There may be something else that God is asking you to do or suggesting to you that you are ignoring. As because you're so focused on the outcome, you're missing the process. You might say that you're working hard, but your timing faithfully, and the your “doing everything right”. And maybe you are. And I certainly don't want to get into a discussion about whether or not we earn God's favor (we don't). But one thing I know we do is sometimes block God's attempts to bless us. Is the equivalent of having your hands in your pockets when someone's trying to give you a gift. For instance, if you're holding bitterness and anger in your heart toward someone, or unforgiveness, that could block your blessing. Today, ask the Lord to help you search your own heart for anything that may be blocking or refusing his power. This is about trying to find something wrong with you, by the way. It's not about trying to “search out sin”. Most of us don't need to search sin out – we know exactly where to find it. This can be more subtle. If you're spending all your energy and emotional reserves on harboring unforgiveness toward someone, or you're operating from a victim mindset because you're so “wounded”, you're cutting off access to your own best self. You're limiting the resources you have access to, and you're doing it by choice. So you might try praying something like this today: “Daddy, every part of my life belongs to you. I know you have my best interest at heart. Show me anything I need to do, anything I need to change, so that I'm open to receiving everything you want to give me. In Jesus name, Amen.” Tip of the Week Would you like some in-depth video training on how to create copy that makes more sales?
