Mike Antoni Manifesto
I’ve had a whirlwind month. I decided to go back to school so I can reach my ultimate dream of getting an MBA degree. It’s not always fun, but it is exciting. Beyond that, I met a girl back in December and as of this weekend, we’re now officially “together”. It’s a rather exciting time to say the least.
And this has caused me to really focus on what I’ve been doing, what I want to be doing, and how I can better serve my customers. (Hopefully that’s you). So, I’m writing this just to sort of reach out to you and hopefully give you a little insight into what I’ve been thinking.
What Makes Life Worth Living Anyway?
If you really are into this whole making money on the internet thing, odds are you have a reason for it. And if you’re like me, it’s just because you like money. Sure, money is awesome. I heard someone say the other day, “I don’t like money, I like the way it spends.” Made me chuckle. But let’s get serious here for a minute.
The real reason you want to work from home, or make a lot of money is so you can do more things with your family, right? Right now, I am really enjoying myself because my business runs even when I’m not around. I spent Sunday at Epcot in Disney with my girlfriend. While I was there having a blast, my business brought money in for me automatically.
Even as I write this from the comfort of my home, I have lots of automatic ways of making money online. And that’s great for me right? I’m gonna make another assumption here. I’d bet you’ve been trying to make money on the internet for a while. You’ve probably bought a lot of stuff and tried a few different things.
But no matter how hard you’ve tried, things just don’t seem to work out for you. And there’s a good reason for that.
Perception vs. Reality (The Internet Marketing Game)
In life, there is no absolute reality experienced by everyone. We all see with our eyes and then use our brains to “perceive” what just happened. That’s why 5 people can see the same car accident and give 5 different accounts of what happened. Sometimes, they can’t even agree on the color of the cars involved!
In reality, (pun intended) perception is what we go by. But how does this apply to Internet Marketing. Here’s how: The “gurus” and the internet marketing stars sell a dream. They don’t mean to. I will be honest and say I even do it myself. I’ve been doing this whole business thing since 2006. So when I say something is easy… it is – TO ME.
But to you, it probably isn’t. But common sense will tell you that you can’t sell something as “hard, difficult to learn, and very time consuming.” Who wants to buy that, right? So, we focus on the easy aspects, the parts that we like doing. But I am convinced that internet marketers put blinders on to the “reality” of the situation.
When we create a new business, we work like dogs. We are putting together all these different pages, contacting vendors, joint venture partners, writing copy, getting graphics done, working on the flow of the sales process. I mean, there is A LOT. But we sort of just “do it”. And guess what? When you’re done with it, everything really does sort of just happen and go “easy”.
But we tend to forget about the work, the hard part…the stuff we do that goes unnoticed by the masses that really creates the money. And this is the part that you don’t get to see and we don’t talk about.
How Much Money Do You Need?
I listen to Tony Robbins a lot. Really love his stuff. And he talked about how most people want to get “rich” when they don’t really need to. They just need to get enough money to cover their living expenses. Just imagine how you would feel if you brought in enough money each month to cover your house payment,electric, water, you car payment, insurance, and gas, food, credit card payments, or whatever else you had to pay for each month.
Now imagine if you could do that without a J.O.B.
Sounds pretty awesome right?
I’ve been able to do that for 5 years now. It hasn’t always been easy. And some years I make WAY more than other years. But overall, it’s been an awesome ride.
A New Way Of Internet Marketing
I’ve really taken a step back and looked at my life. And as I do that, I realize that I haven’t been “living” like I should. What I mean is that I’ve been very work focused. I guess that’s the nature of life in America. We are definitely trained to work. And I’m not saying I’m not gonna work and create like I’ve been doing.
But I am changing my priorities. I’ll be spending a lot more time with my girlfriend now. As a matter of fact, I’ve got a lot of plans (in my head) to travel with her. I’ll spend more time with my family, and I’ll focus on the things I want to do, not just my business.
And I will work less hours than I’ve ever worked before. And I plan on doing it by giving away more value than I ever have before. And I want to pass that value onto you.
I don’t want to go into it all here right now, I’ll put up a page soon to explain everything to you. I’ve got something in mind that I think you will absolutely love. It’s not meant to get you rich, it’s just meant to help you get started, make money, and eventually replace your day job so you can do what you want with your life.
That’s my new manifesto now.
I want to help people do what they want to do with their lives… even when they aren’t sure how.
Here’s How You Can Be Involved
I feel like I’ve poured out a lot in this post. And I’d love to hear from you. Please take a second right now and leave me a comment. Let me know WHY you want to make more money. Tell me about your dreams, about the things you want to do with your family. Tell me about a new love you have in your life… or the love you’ve had for years.
I just want to hear from you and connect with you on a deeper personal level. I want to know what makes you get up in the morning, and what keeps you going.
I want to hear your story. Tell me what you want and what you’re willing to do to get it… as long as you have someone to help show you the way.
I can’t wait to hear from you. God bless!
Hello there Mike Antoni….
You really let rip here Mike, the passion is showing in more ways than one ~ good for you!!
That was straight from the heart. People like to be inspired and follow leaders who show passion and commitment in what they do and believe in.
As you know I’m just starting out as an internet marketer, and have been fortunate enough to have you as a mentor, and I’m learning on a daily basis with your guidance.
Your reference to Tony Robbins and what he said is true in my case. I don’t particularly want to “be rich” ~ I simply want to be financially free, to stop worrying about the “cost of living”, and just start “living” again. I want to care for my children and grandchildren, I want to help them as much as I can.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us Mike, and I wish you and your new partner every success…

WHERE DO I FIND THESE INFORMATIVE VIDEOS OF YOURS FOR FREE AND IN ORDER
Hi. There are some free videos on this blog. Just click on free videos above.
Hi Mike.
Great and motivating.
I’m a retiree and looking forward to earn extra income and hopefully fulfilling my dream to share with my family.
Hi Mike,
First let me start by saying thanks, I have recently purchased Income infuser and am in the process of working my way thru the training and its awesome. You seem like a very down to earth fella and I appreciate that.
Anyway, I have been trying to break into a home based business for years now with very little success. Like you and most others I want to be my own boss and i want to make money. My wife has witnessed my efforts and is very skeptickal of my new venture (income infuser) BUT I am determined to make it and I know I can do it. Im going to continue to learn from you and others and Im damn excited about it…actually consuming my thoughts..lol. So heres to a bright future for us both! Thanks again and keep up the incredible work.
Keep the info rolling. Am a part of income infuser team, and just keep working on marketing myself and the website connected to it. Thanks
Dear Mr. Antoni,
I really appreciate your story above and thank you for sharing and a lot of what is said relates to me exactly 100%. I am a member of Income Infuser and been looking for something on the Internet Market to provide income to help my family. Job just wont cut it anymore. I joined a lot of programs and I was even on one of the program when I came across In. Infuser, now its on neutral until I finish setting up my Infuser site. I am hoping and believe that my Infuser will generate me cash as you said it will, because $1,000.00 or 2,000 monthly will be so helpful with my situation right now. My husband just laid off and I work part time – and its very hard right now.
Anyway, I am still setting up my Income Infuser site, and for me it very overwhelming due to not having any computer knowledge, but following very closely with directions provide, sometimes have to look for logins, but with my situation, I don’t want to be saying desperate but it is getting there slowly, and I hope this business will help me & family.
I am very close to my family, and that is big part of this wanting to make money, to be able to live comfortably and help out as much as I can.
Also with me and my husband is much more than just ourselves. Our dream is to build something bigger to leave with families behind to carry on. I want to make money to live comfortable and be able to help when we can. Of everything I read and study with I/Infuser, I want to make 1,000. to 3,000. monthly by next month July.. It is doable by what its been said in I/Infuser? and the big goal is to be able to make $20,000. monthly starting Sept 1, 2011. How can I make this happen??
I know I’m saying this and a lot of people are seeing it, but I need that positive thinking from people with my same situation or same goal to be inspired to accomplish this and with your help I know it will come true.
I am coachable and willing to learn in order to accomplish that.. I thank you very much for giving me this opportunity to share this with you, because that is why I am with I/Infuser and I want to live life to the fullest, and I think you are one Angel for me that will help me accomplish my goal.
That is my story and as long as I am working towards accomplishing this, I am a very happy and grateful person to all who will help me get there.
Have a wonderful day,
Respectfully,
Celia T.
Hi Celia,
Thanks so much for sharing your story and pouring your heart out. When it comes to setting goals (especially financial ones) here’s my advice. Start really small. Your first goal should be to make your first sale. To make a sale with the Infuser system, you need to get leads. To get leads you need to send traffic. So it all starts from that point. Getting the traffic started. Start there( go through all the training we have on traffic) and success can happen.
Hi Mike, “quite something to read this from Mr. Antoni” – is what my thoughts were after reading it twice. I do agree all the way with Gwyndaf Jones above. It really touched me. Fantastic to have read your new goals in life Mike! Well said!!! We all need more quality time all round.
About myself a bit: I am a father, a grandfather, a brother and a friend. Many see me as a very kind and generous person all round. I’ve lived, worked and studied in several countries around the world, realizing that the world is a small place we live in. Mid-year 2011 I’ve decided to say good bye to failure for ever! Not that I’ve failed that often in life, but when, then BIG time! All changed for me February 2009. Since that time, I now live in Thailand and made a new start at what most people may deem as “very late in life”, as I am to turn 62 towards the end of this year 2011 – but, I do not see it as “late”, as age is just a number!
Reason for me to make money is to live life to it’s fullest – for me – as we all know very well that it is not possible to live a really complete or successful life unless we have money to that.
My mission and dream is to assist, or help (for the lack of a better word), as many people as possible to become financially independent regardless of age, education, past failures, or any so called stumbling blocks. Just regular people who needs a break in life and start a real online business of their own – like myself. There are so many, well, may I call it on it’s name: scammers out there promising the world of abundance with just a “few clicks of the mouse”, but in reality, they are the only ones who are getting rich by selling their stuff on the internet. Reality is that there is no such thing a quick-way-to-riches…… does not exist.
All through my life I always had a ‘mentor’ or ‘mentors’ that just ‘happened’……. from early on when I was learning martial arts, my Sensei was not only my Sensei, but my Mentor and my Guru. Much later on the late Dr. Norman Vincent Peale – and so it carried on until recently when I’ve met these two guys online : your self Mike, and Darren Salkeld , whom I now regard as my mentors in business. Right from the beginning it was clear that you guys have achieved so much and are so grateful for what you’ve reached in life, that you are not only willing to pass the knowledge on, but also NOT to charge a huge lot of money for it. Unlike so many self proclaimed gurus (and real successful people) just blatantly charge out of reach amounts of money so that we, the ordinary people who really needs it, then cannot afford it.
The Income Infuser System is what is consuming my thoughts and time, as I am still new to it (almost done with the training and setting up!). Income Infuser is my #1 reason to get up bright and fresh every morning to work at it.
Many may recognize who I am when they read this, and that is OK, as I am sincerely ready, willing and able to give my ALL in order to have Income Infuser work 100%.
Comment on my Facebook, or email me, so we can be in contact. Hope and trust to hear from you.
Hey John! Thanks for sharing your story with me. 62 is the new 40! And you are so right age is just a number. Use the link on the sidebar to access me on facebook. Would be happy to get to know you better.
Good morning Mike
It has been a whirlwind ride trying to break into the internet business. My most recent venture is the income infuser. I truely like what you and rest of the guys are doing. It’s so much junk out there, it hard to decipher all of it. You guys have been an inspiration for me since i have been laid off. I volunteer at a community center working with kids. My goal is to show them and their familiy that they can’t give up on life even if money is tight. I been searching for an opportunity not just for myself, but for them where they can feed their family. We have computers at the center to help people find jobs and learn vocational skills. If there is an opportunity out there, please let me know, I have families depending on me to help them. Thank you and income infusion for all the advice and webinars, but i’m still at point A trying to get to Z. OK, please keep sharing your knowledge and I will continue to turn over rock til we succeed, your internet student Zac
Thanks Zac for your kind words. We try our best to help other people by creating easy to follow training and easy to use systems. That’s been my full time passion for at least 4 years now. Keep the positive attitude and stay focused and you can go far.
