Another $2000 Widget??

I don't think I've ever written a post quite like this one before, but I need to unload what's on my heart

You can read it or not...your choice

At least I'll be able to look myself in the mirror.

I don't know about you, but I'm noticing an increasing number of "launches" lately

New systems...New tools...

Now that's not a bad thing in itself, I mean, how else would the industry move forward, right?

But so many of them are positioning themselves as THE answer you've been waiting for...

You...and 3,000 others


We both know that in another 6 - 9 months, that same "guru" is gonna come out with another new system or widget designed to take your business to the next level quickly and easily

And they'll make you believe that you just HAVE to have that one, too!

A couple grand every six months...and nothing changes

Not for you, it doesn't

At least not long-term.

Let's be fair here...

Many of the systems and tools WORK and work well...

IF you know HOW to use them!


All we need do is look at Eben Pagan, Ann Seig, Mike Dillard, Frank Kern, etc...

But it seems like it's only a select few, though, doesn't it?

Is it possible they know something that's giving them that edge??

They do

Actually, a few things...


First of all, there is no "magic bullet"...no one "system" (or person, for that matter) that can guarantee anything

Everyone "knows" that.

Even YOU admit that out loud one minute and pull your credit card out the next (me, too!)


WHY??


Because there are principles that, when understood and applied, can have people eating out of your hand EVERY TIME

I'm talking about real Marketing Principles, people...

NOT how to use the Internet to annoy everyone you come in contact with...

But rather

Solid...time honored...been around since the dawn of time...

Based on human psychology

MARKETING PRINCIPLES


Now here comes the part that you won't like...

It takes WORK, TIME and EFFORT to learn the "code" behind it all

Success is not gonna fall into your lap because you shelled out another two grand!!

Study the industry and learn from those who've "made it".

NOT what they're doing now...

Find out what they did WHEN THEY STARTED

If you're not willing to take the time to learn the basic psychology of marketing...and most people WON'T...

Then be prepared to pull out your credit card again in a few months for the newest "system" that's launching.

And when nothing's changed and you're BROKE...

Remember that I TRIED to warn you.

Contain Yourself!

We're all vessels…

Containers of what we put into (or allow into) ourselves.

"As a Man (or woman) thinketh..."


Picture, if you will, a large, earthen jar…

Imagine it filled to the rim with clean, pure water

So full, that even the slightest movement
will cause the water to spill over


Now picture a second jar filled with a dark,
smelly, murky sludge


Which would YOU be more willing to carry?


And so it is with us…

We "spill over" onto all those we come into contact with.

Filled with greed, self-centeredness, negativity, etc..
we repel those we come in contact with...quickly, I might add!

Filled with pure thoughts, wisdom and understanding…

With LOVE...

People flock to us to "drink in" what's spilling out of us

We understand there will be times when we come across
someone who is so parched…so THIRSTY…

That we need to empty ourselves so they might live.

And so we MUST.

But the GLORIOUS FACT is that Nature abhors a vacuum

So the more we empty ourselves for the sake of others

The more we ourselves will be filled again with

Energy

Light

and

LOVE!

The TRUE essence of God.


"What you do for other people, God does for you."

Fred the Baker's Got MOJO!!

Who's Fred the Baker?  You know Fred...

He's the Dunkin Donuts man!

I'm tellin' you, this guy really has it going on!!!

His alarm goes off at 3:30 a.m.
and there's but one thought on his mind...

"Time to make the donuts"
LASER FOCUS

"Bet the guys who make the supermarket donuts are still in bed"
He knows he's DIFFERENT


"Plain donuts aren't enough. Five kinds..."
He's committed to QUALITY...to OVER-DELIVERING


And his "Good Morning, Folks" smile shows reveals that he
LOVES his work!

Hmmmmm....

Laser focus
Quality and Over Delivering
Loves what he does

The mindset of the successful

It's no wonder "America Runs on Dunkin"

:)

Quick Opt- Tip

Are you building a list with one of the autoresponders like AWeber?

I was reminded of something today that's saved me sooo much time and headache!! 

So if you don't know about this one...

ALWAYS opt-in to your own lists. 

Yup!!

Simple, yet such a great tool! 

That way, you'll know EXACTLY what's going on...

What your subscribers will see
Check links to be sure they are working correctly
Get the "feel" of your autoresponder/follow up letters, etc. 

I can't tell you how many times this simple habit
of mine has saved me. 

I suggest doing this before promoting your page "out there".

Better than someone trying to opt-in and not being able to
or clicking on a link that's not working!

Look at wildflowers, how they grow...

They simply ARE!

The sea, the sun, the stars and the moon

Just ARE...and what service they give!

How often do we, the "intelligent life" on this planet

PREVENT OURSELVES from accomplishing our divine assignment...

The purpose for which we were born...

Because we scurry around like so many ants
under a magnifying glass

Running, to and fro...doing...doing...doing...

Doing what????

Consumed by ego and self

We spend days...weeks...even LIFETIMES
Expending great energy to be consistent and useful

Ah, yes...to be somehow USEFUL!

And so??

So consider those who influence us most

Influence doesn't come from those who force their
conversations on us

Nor does it come from those who laud their feigned
superiority over us

No...it comes from those who live their lives like

the stars in the heavens and

the wildflowers along the side of the road

Those who live before us authentically and unaffectedly...

Are solidly connected to the Source...

Who simply BE

Look at wildflowers, how they grow...
They simply ARE!

The sea, the sun, the stars and the moon

Just ARE..

and what SERVICE they give!

Impossible is not a word...It's just a reason for someone not to try ~ Kutless

What Faith Can Do

A friend shared this song with me yesterday

POWERFUL!

Listen...



READ...

Everybody falls sometimes
You gotta find the strength to rise
From the ashes and make a new beginning
Anyone can feel the ache
You think its more than you can take
But you're stronger, stronger than you know

And don't you give up now
The sun will soon be shining
You gotta face the clouds
To find the silver lining

I've seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn't ever end
Even when the sky is falling
I've seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
Thats what faith can do

It doesn't matter what you've heard
Impossible is not a word
It's just a reason for someone not to try
Everybody's scared to death
You may decide to take that step
Out on the water
But it'll be all right

Life is so much more
Than what your eyes are seeing
You will find your way
If you keep believing

Overcome the odds
When you don't have a chance
(Thats what faith can do)
When the world says you can't
It will tell you that it can

"What Faith Can Do" by Kutless from the album, "It Is Well"

BELIEVE!
