*** From The Publishers Desk ***

Hello Everyone,

I've been fortunate to start my new job this week.

One possible drawback is that I may have to publish my
ezine on a less regular basis.

It IS a tough thing to face ... I DO enjoy publishing, and
will continue to do so as often as possible.

I will also publish on my Quikonnex channel:
http://quikonnex.com/channel/page/ebizprofits4u/194

If you like, you may choose to subscribe to my channel. I
recommend QuickView:

I thank you for your time,

Phillip

Important Key to Success => Do You Have It?

============

The successful e-marketer learns to understand the make-up
of the UN-successful e-marketer. The serious, successful
e-marketer only works with the right "kind" of e-marketer.
Winners know that aspiring candidates have to be grilled in
ethics, character, responsibility AND accountability!
Training often times is secondary. Even monkeys can be
trained.

Screen the "Wind-Bags" Out!

Candidates should know why they approached you, to get into
business with you. If the prospective candidate can't come
up with a couple of substantial reasons for wanting to get
into your business, maybe you better look for someone else.
BE very particular. High Producers and Top Bananas don't
waste precious time recruiting losers. Just because a person
"breathes" and takes up space, doesn't mean they are
competent OR qualified.

This is one Key to Success that requires dedication,
devotion and discipline, but it's the smart way to build
an e-business that will endure for a long time. If you
bring in the wrong kind of people, those who join or stay
with you for the "wrong" reasons, or those who won't lift
a finger to work, or want you to hold their hands forever,
this situation can point to disgust and failure, for
everybody in your organization. You are the SUM of your
associations so get this right, the first time.

The Keys to Success Should Open Doors!

Never lower your standards. Making money as an e-marketer
isn't rocket science. How about trying some good old common
sense?

Five Sections of Your Copy Guaranteed To Get Read

by Karon Thackston © 2005
http://www.copywritingcourse.com

Only about 20% of your copy is going to get read. The rest will
simply be scanned. I'm sure you've heard the statistic before.
It's nothing new. While it might sound frightening or
frustrating, it's a fact of copywriting life. So what do you do
next? Give up? What difference does it make if only about 20%
will be read anyway?

It makes a world of difference. Especially if you understand
that there are some sections of your copy that are practically
guaranteed to get read. If you know what these are and work to
reinforce them, you'll see your conversions increase
dramatically whether your copy is geared toward online or
offline promotions.

HEADLINES

Headlines have always been and will always be the most important
section in any copy. They are the first thing to get read and
have the greatest impact on whether any of the other copy gets
read. Those stories you've seen floating around the Internet
about marketers who have made minute changes to a headline and
tripled their conversion rates are true. It happens all the
time. In fact, it's happened to me.

Headlines and sub-headlines can guide your visitors to read
deeper into your copy. If you set up a structure of progressive
headlines

http://marketingwords.com/articles/articles_progressheadlines.html, you'll have a better shot getting your point across. Pay a lot of attention to your headline. It's the powerhouse of your copy.

CAPTIONS

Captions started with newspaper journalists. When they would run
a picture with a story, they would add a few words underneath to
explain what or who the picture was of. People got into the
habit of looking for the captions in order to relate the
importance of the image with the information they were
receiving. This still holds true. Captions in advertising
pieces are highly read. Don't waste the space!

FIRST SENTENCES

When you scan something -- an article, a book, a newspaper, a
magazine, a website -- what do you read? Almost everyone reads
the first sentence of each paragraph. These sentences are
vitally important in order to get your potential customers
interested enough to keep reading. If you create exceptional
first sentences, one of two things will happen. One: The
prospect will be more likely to continue reading the copy. Two:
The first sentences in each paragraph will be enough to convince
him/her to buy.

FIRST IN BULLETED LIST

Just as with the first sentence in each paragraph, people also
almost always read the first entry in a bulleted list. If it
hits home, they might keep reading. But, knowing that you have
their attention for at least one second, always make sure your
first bullet point is extremely powerful and enticing.

PS's

Writing a direct mail or Web sales letter? The PS is another
hot spot. Take advantage of this real estate. Repeat offers,
remind readers of bonuses, reinforce guarantees or recap
limited-time offers. This section is the final pitch before
your reader either acts or trashes your copy so make it count.

Have you noticed something about these five sections? Why do
you think they are virtually guaranteed to get read in any piece
of copy? They are unusual. They are limited. They stand out.
They are eye-catching.

You only have a limited number of headlines and sub-heads in
copy. They are almost always offset by bolding or underlining
so they easily catch the eye of the reader. Captions only appear
when there are images. They do not appear all throughout the
copy. First sentences are also rare. Only one sentence in each
paragraph can be the first one. This tells the reader to keep
going or jump to another section that might be of more interest.
First entries in bulleted lists are unusually formatted and
catch the eye of the reader. PS's? There's only one, and since
it's the last thing on the page, most often, it stands out too.

These rare elements give you five guaranteed shots at building
curiosity, promoting benefits, generating interest and closing
sales. If you haven't done it before, now is the time to review
your copy to be sure you're making the most out of these
opportunities.

*** Marketing Tip ***

From Kathleen Gage:

"Am I as efficient and effective as I can be in using the
Internet in my marketing?"

We all need to continually ask this question. To get the
most out of your overall marketing you need to be painfully
honest in your answer. Many people might think they are
being efficient, but are their efforts really working. The
answer will become evident in whether or not you are
increasing your leads, revenues and sales through the use
of the Internet.

People might be using the Internet in their marketing, but
is it working?

Case in point: I belong to dozens of online forums and
discussion groups. More times than not the people in these
groups struggle with their online marketing. Actually, they
struggle with marketing overall. They are experts in some
area, but when it comes to marketing more times than not
they miss the mark.

Based on similar discussion in several forums I decided to
visit the websites of people who frequent these forums. You
might be wondering how I was able to find their site. A
simple Google search under someone’s name can easily give
you their web address.

What absolutely amazes me is that over 90% of the sites are
NOT optimized for long term marketing, promotions and
selling.

Oh sure, their site is pretty and well designed, but beyond
that, nothing. Fact is, if you are going to use the
Internet as part of your marketing mix, use it effectively.

People are constantly asking the question, "What do I need
to do to improve my marketing efforts?" A huge part of the
answer can be found in whether or not your website is a
tool for building your database. A fact many people choose
to ignore.

I’m not talking about simply having a "Contact Us" form on
your site. Most people are not going to take the time to
fill this out. I don’t care how pretty a site is.

People will leave you their information if you create
unbelievable value and benefit for them.

Think of it this way, your site is a place to direct people
in order for you to provide information that encourages
them to leave you their contact information. If they took
time to visit your site, chances are they are interested in
what you offer.

Statistics prove most visitors to your site won’t return
and will soon forget about who you are unless you keep in
touch with them. In order to do this you have to capture
their contact information.

There are several proven strategies in Street Smarts
eMarketing Tips Guaranteed to Jump Start Your Internet
Presence to Put You Miles Ahead of the Competition. Ideas
like offering an Ezine, a free report, or a tip of the
week.

Let’s say you are a lawn care service company. You
effectively drive people to your site. And you have a place
for visitors to sign up for an Ezine.

Rather than simply having something that reads, "Sign up
for our Ezine," you will see greater results with something
like, "Learn the Secrets of Master Gardeners. FREE weekly
tips. Click here."

Make sure the signup form is visible. If it’s hidden, your
effort has been for naught. Additionally, the signup form
needs to be on every single page.

In my recently released book STREET SMARTS Making Money
with the Internet The No Hype, No Bull Formula to Greater
Revenues, Better Leads and More Sales for Small and Home
Based Businesses I go into great detail about the
challenges of working with a web designer who is not of the
marketing mindset. Remember, the Quick Start book you have
is an introduction into the full version of over 200 pages
of detailed information.

To read more about the full version visit:
http://www.streetsmartsmarketing.com and simply click the
link for STREET SMARTS Making Money with the Internet.

Please send the link for the FREE eBook to anyone you know
who would benefit from the information. Just go to
http://www.streetsmartsmarketing.com/free-ebook.htm to
access.

In success,

Kathleen Gage

American Diabetes Alert Day

According to the American Diabetes Association, doctors
estimate that nearly one-third of the American population
has type 2 diabetes and doesn't know it. That's because all
but the most serious cases of diabetes may have symptoms
that seem harmless — like thirst and fatigue. Today you can
reduce your chances of developing diabetes by learning how
to identify risk factors and taking steps to avoid them.

People with type 2 diabetes have too much glucose in their
blood and not enough insulin to break it down. Large
concentrations of blood glucose can cause irreparable
damage to the kidneys, eyes, and nervous system. You should
watch out for the following risk factors:

* High blood pressure (above 130/80)
* Obesity or being overweight
* Increased age
* Inactivity
* Family history of diabetes

The most effective ways to avoid this dangerous disease are
to maintain a healthy weight, participate in daily
exercise, and eat a diet low in saturated fat and rich in
fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

To find out if you're at risk of developing diabetes, you
can take a risk test: http://www.diabetes.org/risk-test.jsp.

The Click Fraud Problem

Click fraud has become a major problem for online
marketers. If you participate on Google adwords campaigns
or Overture, you must already pay a lot for your campaigns.

What is click fraud?

Click fraud is the deliberate clicks to PPC search engine
ads for completely other reasons than expressing interest
for buying the related products or services. Overture
defines click fraud as clicks arising for reasons other
than the good-faith intention of an Internet user to visit
a web site to purchase goods or services or to obtain
information.

Google defines click fraud, or invalid clicks, as any
method used to artificially and/or maliciously generate
clicks or page impressions. In simple words, Click fraud
means that someone is cheating you and that you pay too
much for your pay per click campaigns. Who is doing that?
Three main groups click on pay per click ads, without real
interest in the offered goods:

People who joined Google AdSense or other per click
affiliate programs click on the ads on their own web site
to make a little income. Often, these people cooperate with
other webmasters to click on each other's ads.

Some unethical companies click on the pay per click ads of
competitors to drive up their advertising costs.

Companies (often in India, Russia and China) hire people
who are paid to click on ads. Google and other search
networks provide refunds to advertisers when click fraud
has been discovered. Google and Overture employ "fraud
squads," or teams of people dedicated to fighting click
schemes. But at least two marketing executives say such
countermeasures are missing fraudulent clicks that are
responsible for between 5 percent and 20 percent of
advertising fees paid to all search networks.

This is a huge problem. There is no 'pay per click' Company
denying that click fraud exists. Web analytics companies
estimates that the 50% of all click activity is fraudulent.
This means that your pay per click marketing activities are
half effective as they could be because of click fraud.

Overture spokeswoman Jennifer Stephens refutes that
estimate, saying that the numbers likely represent acts of
fraud that are ultimately caught. She added that Overture
filters most fraudulent clicks with the best antifraud
system in the industry, which combines technology and human
analysis. Most advertisers are aware of the click-fraud
issue but have not delved into it because of the technical
complexities involved. Others are concerned that they could
jeopardize their relationships with the powerful search
networks if they complain too loudly.

One of the best ways to eliminate click fraud is using anti
click fraud services such as ppctrax (www.ppctrax.com).
They provide services like the below:

* IP address capture.
* IP address geographic Location.
* User Agent (browser, bot etc.)

See exactly what keywords are generating your clicks Date
and Time stamp System detects sudden click spikes from one
or more IP addresses

Real-time email alerts at 80% and 100% of your account's
transaction utilization IP address history - alert you to
prior offenders Another similar service is 'who is clicking
who': http://www.whosclickingwho.com. Another way is the
click fraud capture software like Click Auditor:

~~~~~~ Marketing Tip

=========================

*** From The Publishers Desk ***

I belong to a couple of article directories that are
usually distributed via email.

Here are a few of my findings and ponderings.

I'll be the first one to admit .... I tend to get VERY
picky over WHAT I choose to publish.

The gurus teach us that writing articles is one of the best
free ways to advertise our site. This is generally true,
because publishers ARE looking for QUALITY content to
publish as they see fit.

However, there seems to be an influx of articles that seem
to be missing some key elements.

1.) SOME articles have NO resource box (this is where the
author should put in a small bit about himself and a link
to their website). Generally, these should be about 5 to 6
lines in length.

2.) SOME articles are NOT formatted correctly. The text is
sometimes hard to read, especially in email.

3.) Some have grammatical or spacing errors. These are easy
enough to fix, however, some articles require you to do NO
editing whatsoever.

Some points to consider when writing:

A.) Start reading the articles writen by the well known
names Willie Crawford, Stone Evans, Kathleen Gage, and
others.

Notice their style, how their points are presented, how
easily the flow of writing is noticed.

B.) It's ok to be new at writing ...I'd even be so bold to
suggest the new author request feedback from publishers ...
publishers recognize effort and are usually willing to
offer constructive comments & suggestions :)

Ponderings:

As I search for new articles I can use for my channel or my
ezine, I wonder about the resource box and the way those
are written.

I've actually seen some pretty obvious claims IN the
resource box.

I may even click the link, just out of curiosity. Since I
am a publisher, and since I DO sell advertising space, Am I
responsible for WHAT the author has written IN his resource
box?

What about the website that the link in the resource box
leads to? Would I be reponsible IF the website doesn't have
the proper disclaimers ... for the sales copy on that
website, IF it had blatant or implied claims?

I think there's a strong possibility I would be.

Perhaps you disagree. I welcome your comments & thoughts

Who's Raining on Your Parade?
Copyright © M B Stearns 2005

============

We'll start by getting based in reality. Are your e-books on
self improvement topics stacking up......have you make any
changes since the new year? What about those videos and
audios? Costly, aren't they?

If you haven't changed your beliefs about your abilities...
and aren't motivated from within... if you allow fear and
anxiety to sway you and your actions, you probably won't
benefit from self-help information. Your results will
probably show wasted time and cash, right? Therapy might
even pop into your mind.

Mental anchors can and DO weigh people down and even trigger
anxiety and depression cycles. They sometimes prevail in the
mind and body. IF old hurts and wounds continue to always
mean the same things to you, you could become distracted,
anxious, filled with fear and worry. Maybe depression will
surface.

Do you own the finest exercise equipment, work-out books and
videos ever made? Does the equipment work by itself? No, you
must regularly make daily "conscious" decisions to actually
use it. If deep down inside, you HATE exercising, you'll
probably make excuses and decide NOT to work out, or you
might just have a crummy workout. Your intentions may be
good but your emotions and actions might seem controlled.
This is where affirmations that deal with UN-covering and
erasing inner problems, can make a world of a difference.
How we think can be changed.

Personalities ARE Revealed BY Handwriting!

http://www.admistress.com

Some offline companies are NOW using handwriting to select
executives! Since many people believe that the eyes are the
window to the soul, handwriting could very well BE the open
door ( OR trap door ) to a job candidate's personality.

Does THIS Apply to Emails too? You Decide.

Curly " q's ", loops and slopes, how you dot your " i's "
or don't cross your " t's ", seem to reveal MORE about
character and integrity than background checks, resumes or
interviews. Handwriting can speak volumes about who we
actually ARE...our passions, fortes, weaknesses and
personality traits. Some people say that handwriting CAN be
the best non-discriminatory assessment measure.

It's interesting to note that no gender, age or person's
origin is needed. These handwriting assessments have been
used to assist companies in finding the best executives,
cops tracking down legal offenders and letting sweethearts
know if they have really found their true loves.

Move Over...Sherlock Holmes!

Graphology is a specialized social science. It's used to
get more candid and spontaneous information about
prospective job candidates. Watch out, it's not impossible
to imagine internet companies asking for a handwritten
application.

The premise here is that integrity is valuable, but often
remains un-checked. Seemingly, with just the stroke of a
pen..... analysts can tap into a person's thought process
AND emotional state, in order to learn about that person's
achievements and communication skills. That's amazing! This
is sometimes referred to as "brainwriting."

These assessments have been described as the graphic
manifestation of a person's thought patterns and behaviors.
It can give us a glimpse into the sub-conscious mind. Like
that dashboard in your car, it's NOT bad or good. It just
informs!

In Europe, graphology is accepted as a science for hiring
candidates. It's a replacement to intrusive and relatively
unreliable, personality and character testing. Supervision
is a main concern here. Sales people remain UN-Supervised
in the field, so character is a CRITICAL issue. Some people
believe that handwriting analysis saves time, money and
morale because these companies believe that the right
people have been selected for their business relationships.
People may temporarily change over time BUT....their traits
basically remain the same.

Gee, I bet you thought you just scribbled! Business systems
are In search of balance because Un-ethical Conduct has
recently been bursting AT the seams. Creative solutions
appear to BE rising in popularity! Selection of business
partners is NO longer so CLINICAL. Surely, we ARE the sum
of our parts! How's YOUR handwriting? Go ahead: Smile!

Do the Shoe-Maker's Kids Have Shoes?
Copyright © M B Stearns 2005

============

An internet sales job is quite often different than other
jobs. There are people who can't understand that what we
do is REAL work. Family support makes life easier when we
decide to work at home. However, sometimes it just doesn't
come easily with our e-territory.

The Recipe for Saving Your Sanity.........

Earning family respect for what you do can be a real chore.
Mutual understanding, patience and cooperation will always
be a tremendous help. Sanity and Success don't come without
a time price-tag. We invest in whatever it takes in time,
effort and cash, to make these things and our family lives,
work-out for us. What does this require?

It's different for each of us because our income needs vary.
Single parents with 2 or 3 kids, might not have the income
that double wage-earners bring to the e-table. We really
can't judge a book by an e-cover when it boils down to
earning a living.

If you've been around e-sales a while, you probably already
know how to maintain and manage your primary accounts. If
you're one of those salespeople who earn a living with
e-skills, be on the look-out for the shoemaker's kids
who go around without shoes. Neglect, drive and dedication
are very different things.

Take your "honey" to lunch - schedule key dates in advance.
EACH year mark key dates to remember. You'll hardly ever
have complete control over time, but your aim here is
shooting for a "quality" of acceptable family time and
in some instances, this can BE exceptional due to the
flexibility that our e-sales-life, permits. Long working
hours are not easy on anybody, no matter what kind of work
you do. IS there such a thing as quality time if you're an
internet home-worker?

Quantity is probably what counts the most. If your financial
life dictates that you must give your "all" for the company,
do the best you can, to give equal time and quality
commitments to your family. Nothing is written in stone here
BUT.......steady work is what feeds the family.

=====================================

Clue # 204 - Sanity and e-Success may not come easily until
a Solid Foundation is built.

Warning! The Person Doing Your Marketing May Not Even Know
How to Market Themselves! By Kathleen Gage

As a business advisor I work with clients helping them gain
visibility within their market. Without sounding too
arrogant or bold I can safely say I have earned the right
to do this. The primary reason is because the very
strategies I teach my clients are the same tactics that
have afforded me a great deal of visibility within my
market. It is this visibility that sets me apart from my
competition.

There is incredible power and profit that comes from
visibility. The more visible you are to your market the
more you will be the person a client calls when the need
for your product or service arises. Hands down - visibility
is a primary aspect of one's marketing. Unfortunately,
many people either don't know how to gain the visibility
that sets them apart from their competition or they aren't
willing to put the time into creating it. Worse yet, they
may have someone who is doing their marketing that really
doesn't know how to position the client for maximum
exposure.

So how do you go about gaining massive visibility within
your market? Actually, it is very simple. Not necessarily
easy, but it is a simple formula. It is all about
developing systems and being very strategic in your
approach to implementation of the system.

Gaining recognition is about becoming "famous" to a
targeted group of people. By famous, I am not referring to
world renowned. Fame in the context I am using simply means
being visible to those people who make the decision to
utilize and purchase your products or services. It is in
this fame, or name recognition, the process of selling
becomes one of being a problem solver rather than an order
taker.

Gaining visibility within your market does not have to be
an expensive proposition. On the other hand there will be
occasions you will need to make strategically planned
financial investments.

Many uninformed individuals assume advertising is all
that's necessary to market their business and gain name
recognition. Advertising is only a part of your marketing,
not marketing in and of itself. Unfortunately, many people
waste countless dollars on ineffective ad campaigns because
they were led to believe an ad was all it took for them.
This happens both offline and online.

Prior to the use of the Internet in marketing campaigns, I
saw person after person taken advantage of by a slick
account executive who offered some amazing ad campaign. A
campaign that was just too tempting for the uninformed
client to resist.

Often, the campaigns were so cheap that the client simply
signed on without any research. Unfortunately, many of the
campaigns were very ineffective. The primary reason was
because there were so many missing elements including who
the target market was.

Now that the Internet has become an integral part of many
marketing campaigns, the same thing is happening online as
has been happening for decades offline. People are buying
into campaigns without doing the necessary research.

To succeed, you must take a holistic approach to
positioning you and your company. Again, one way to enjoy
success is to gain visibility within your market.

However, before you will obtain the name recognition you
desire you have to lay a solid foundation. The place to
begin is to know your market. A few things to consider are.

Who do you want to sell to and who would buy your product
or service? Gender Age Income level Industries or
professions Education Interests and hobbies Geographic
region Association involvement Lifestyle

From there you have a number of avenues you can take to
gain visibility. One of the most effective is to host a
complimentary informational event, seminar or workshop. It
positions you as an expert and you are a resource before
you are a vendor.

Events can have as few as 6 people in a workshop on up to a
500 person event. Many people miss this incredible
opportunity because they don't think they can present. My
response is you are presenting all the time. It's just a
matter of what you are presenting.

With the power of the Internet you can set up a system that
allows you to continually host information seminars and
costs very little to market. All your marketing efforts
should lead people back to your website.

A website is really intended to be more than just an
electronic brochure. It should be something that gets
people to take action, provides great information, is
updated on a regular basis and is something people can use
as a resource.

Set up you web site so that people can leave their contact
information. Offer something of value to your market such
as a free report, an Ezine, an Ebook or anything that
creates a compelling enough reason for viewers to give you
their information.

This can be done with an autoresponder. The purpose of the
autoresponder is to automate the process and develop a
database for future marketing efforts. Many people do
nothing at all to get contact information from the dozens,
hundreds or thousands of visitors to their sites. This is
simply missed opportunity.

Develop a list of local media contacts you can send a press
release to if the event is open to the public. Find out
what their criteria for sending in a release via email is.
Many will not open any attachments. So if you are sending
an attached document to the media there is a good chance
they won't read it.

Make sure the release is short and to the point. Simply
put, the Who, What, When, Where and Why. Many releases do
not get read or published due to being poorly written or
too lengthy.

Write articles with a topic that is connected to the
information seminar you are offering. Send these out to
various locations online such as Yahoo Groups. Add a
compelling byline that encourages people to visit your
website.

You can also send the article out in an Ezine format to
those people who are in your database. This is the very
reason you want to be able to collect people's contact
information from your website. If they leave you their
contact information chances are very good they are
interested in you and your products, services and various
offerings.

So as not to miss those folks who are not in your online
database you will be well served to also send out a direct
mail piece. This piece is used to announce the event and
should encourage people to visit your website to sign up
for the event.

If you are strategic marketing the event you will most like
gain some free publicity for yourself and your company.

The day of the presentation you absolutely must make sure
people have a stellar experience. This would include the
actual presentation being one that is so content filled
that even if people never buy a thing from you they feel
they have received incredible value.

Within 24 hours of the session send out a thank you letter
highlighting key points you made during your presentation.
Depending on your market the letter can be sent out via
email. Mention in the letter that you would enjoy speaking
at either their company or an association meeting. You will
be amazed at how many opportunities this can generate if
your initial presentation exceeded expectations.

Your success with this process will be determined by how
consistent you are in keeping your name if front of your
market. I have witnessed time and again people who will try
this method once, get busy with other things and then let
the system drop. What an absolute waste.

With the system outlined I have successfully promoted
events in my market that have cost me less than $50 in
marketing costs and realized a return of tens of thousands
of dollars in revenue from subsequent sales. However, I
have been using this system for years and am very
consistent in my process.

As you consider the things you can do to increase your
visibility and who you may choose to work with on your
marketing, a couple of questions you need to ask are, "Am I
willing to put the right systems in place to gain the
result I want?" and "Does the person I am considering to
help me market my business know how to market their own
business?" The answers will help to determine your level of
success.

Do you want to gain massive visibility within your market?

author, keynote speaker and top rated business advisor,

high return. Sign up for Gage's FR*EE Report "Learn How a

*** Cliff McGillivery Scholarship Award ***

The International Circle of Ezines and New Vision Ezine
Boot Camp is proud to announce our Cliff McGillivery "Let's
Go Make Some Money" Scholarship Award recipient for February
If you would like to apply for this Scholarship please
click here: mailto:webmaster@danbeal.com?subject=New_vision

My name is Tammy Ames and I would like to apply for the
scholarship to the New Vision Ezine Boot Camp. My goal is
to publish a top quality ezine with integrity and effective
marketing for advertisers and subscribers. My weekly
newsletter is young but well received due to the fresh
content and focus.

About me - I have been in nursing for over 20 years. An RN
at the VA hospital up until a year ago I left nursing when
I realized how serious my third child's developmental
issues were (subsequently found out he will always struggle
due to a genetic disorder) and my husband's mental health
issues. I am needed at home to take care of my family with
two small children in therapies and his issues making it
impossible for him to help with the children. A family of
6 living on his disability check, I do not have money to
invest in any training or products to build my business
online.

I have been using my time and energy as my investment. I
am hungry to learn, I have high expectations for myself and
my product - namely the ezine and my website focused on
ezine advertising and publishing plus other aspects of
working from home.

I have been reading about the circle and the Ezine Boot
Camp for several months. Recently joining the Circle, I am
already learning a great deal from the information Marion
Stearns has sent me.

Thank you for letting me share a bit of myself with you in
hopes that I could be part of the Ezine Boot Camp...that is
a major goal for me!

Is it Human Nature to Assess an e-Book by its Cover?
Copyright © M B Stearns 2005

============

Oh yes, many of us do it. Generally speaking, it's human
nature to look at potential business contacts and compare
them to past experiences. Resist this instinct. You should
take each situation through single qualification steps,
until you know what is going on with them. Give each
"suspect" a fair chance to become a prospect. Every
prospect should have an equal chance to become a customer.
This will always require patience. At the least, practice
a partial suspension of quick judgment. Ask questions and
always give the benefit of the doubt. This can pay off when
you least expect it to work for you.

Business is NOT always Business as usual BUT....that crummy-
sounding-type, "suspect" OR prospect, might have his or her
name adorning a corporate jet! Be careful or you'll be
putting best selling book covers on your dusty shelf. Get a
mentor to HELP you.

How To Organize Your Marketing

www.marketingforsuccess.com

"I hate sales pitches!" You may have felt this way yourself
or heard others say it. If it's such a common response,
what's the best way to organize your marketing to attract
new clients and customers?

While getting all aspects of your marketing right can be
complicated, the simple truth is that you can attract many
more clients and be far more successful by doing just one
thing.

To get the attention of your prospects and gain their trust
and their business, base your marketing on the way your
prospects make buying decisions. Just as a sweater needs to
fit its owner, your marketing needs to fit your prospects.

Mirror Your Prospects' Decision Making Patterns

How do your prospects make purchasing decisions? A research
study by Enquiro and Marketing Sherpa found that 86% of
Internet users begin a search using Google. Of these, 63%
scan the search results, looking for key phrases in order
to determine which sites to visit.

If your target market doesn't find the key phrase they are
looking for, they won't contact you. It doesn't matter how
long you've been in business or how happy your clients are;
if your marketing message doesn't match the language your
prospects use, tens of thousands of people will never find
you. This is true even if they need and want your products
and services.

First, If you want people to respond to your search engine
listing, billboard ad, radio spot or business card, the
handful of words you use need to grab their attention.
Invest the time and effort to create a brilliant marketing
message. Tailor it to your prospects' problems and concerns
and they'll take notice.

Once you have your prospects' attention, you may want them
to buy your products and services right away, but this is
not realistic. While a small percentage of prospects with
an urgent need may buy on first contact with you or your
website, the vast majority won't. The research by Enquiro
and Marketing Sherpa found over 80% of people looking to
buy research a purchase for a period of time ranging from
one week to four months, with 54% taking one to three
months.

You may be doing a great job at getting attention, but if
you're not motivating prospects to contact you, your
business is leaking leads. You could be missing more than
80% of potential buyers.

Does your company have a web site? How many visitors stop
by your site each month? How many of these contact you?

If you're a small business you could easily be attracting
3,000 to 20,000 people a month. Typically, 10 to 30% of
these people can be motivated to contact you, amounting to
300 to 6,000 leads per month.

You may be attracting more leads than you need. Make sure
you capture them so you can market to them. One of my
coaching clients had a web site that was attracting 40,000
visitors each month. With a site this popular, he should
have been able to generate 8,000 leads each month. All he
needed was to structure his web site to prompt prospects to
give him their contact information. Instead he was getting
an average of only 10 leads each month.

Second, Motivate prospects to give you their contact
information. Give them a reason to contact you. I give away
a free marketing guide that prompts almost a thousand
people a month to give me their contact information. Once
you have your prospects' contact information, follow up
regularly to further establish the credibility of your firm
and clarify the value of your products and services.

Moving Prospects to Client or Customer Status When you
provide your services or develop your products you shape
them to fit your prospects' wants and needs. Similarly your
marketing needs to be shaped to fit your prospects' buying
patterns. When your marketing strategy and materials
reflects the information prospects are looking for, you'll
get their attention and their business. -

Hello Everyone,

"In a few hundred years, when the history of our time is
written from a long-term perspective, it is likely that the
most important event those historians will see is not
technology, not the internet, not e-commerce. It is an
unprecendented change in the human condition. For the
first time---literally--- substantial and rapidly growing
numbers of people have choices. For the first time, they
will have to manage themselves."

"And society is totally unprepared for it."

Peter Drucker

At first reading, I agreed with this .... however, I'm of
the opinion we have ALWAYS had CHOICES ... and continue to
have choices ...some people just can't seem to decide whom
the BOSS "really" is ..... lack of action may trigger a
degree of control (by someone that may NOT have our best
interests at heart) of part of our lives

A large portion of our population has seemingly (and,
willingly) handed control over to someone else, to some
governing body (be it state, local, or federal) instead of
handing the control over to the HIGHEST governing body, The
supreme being, as we CHOOSE to recognize him.

We have handed this control over to a governing body,
someone or something that we are NOT assured will be there
tommorow .... why are we SO willing to hand over this
control to someone else? Who's seemingly (and
convincingly) telling us that these results WILL be better
than our own God given gifts and rights (responsibilities)?
Shouldn't this band of people have the guts to make
decisions? Could the fear of failure be holding them back?
Sometimes this fear partly comes from varying backgrounds
and life experiences

Yes, I'm of the opinion that society, as a whole, IS
unprepared for people to manage themselves.

However, there IS a small band of us REFUSING to fit the
mold of "Status Quo" .... People like you and I (and a
handful of others) think FOR ourselves....That's the MAJOR
difference. We question things that may NOT even HAVE
answers:)

Remember, you ALWAYS have a CHOICE. It may NOT be easy.
The CHALLENGE here is for YOU to make a POSITIVE CHANGE in
YOUR life.

Thanks for reading,

Phillip

STOP Worrying About What Went Wrong!
Copyright © M B Stearns 2005

============

STOP worrying about what went wrong!
It isn't an issue. Always Move Forward.

Post-mortems are for morticians and coroners, NOT sales
professionals. Let's face it. Much of what we do, simply
doesn't work, so we can't waste time analyzing each and
every move that went wrong. How many of us spend TOO much
time trying to learn from mistakes? That's a loser's game.

Trying to live and SELL in a negative world CAN generate
additional negative vibes. If your roof falls in on your
head, do you begin a stress failure evaluation? No. In
sales, we pick ourselves UP, dust ourselves off, and pound
the e-pavement, again and again! Every NO puts us closer to
a YES!

The very best way to beat defeat is to get something
positive going for you, as soon as possible. Always maintain
target account lists so that you'll have the next most
likely prospect ready to ROLL, if something comes apart at
the seams, on any given day.

It's wise to keep a friendly account in reserve. What are
friends for, if not to give you, or help you get an order,
when your ego needs a lift? ASK. There's really no business
problem that can't be solved by a brand new accounts first
order.

Have you ever noticed that when the sun breaks through the
clouds, it changes the view? Go find a hole in the clouds
and stand under it. There's more than one way to make the
sun shine for you! GET moving!

Live Life Deliberately: Design A Vision for 2005

Sarah Hughes, Gold Metal Skater, had hers at age six. Joseph
Campbell, folklore author, found his after visiting the
Museum of History in NYC. At age 4, Oprah Winfrey remembers
watching her grandmother washing clothes by boiling them -
Oprah "knew" then her life would be different. They all
found something that raised their inner vibrations, their
passion -- and created a vision.

People who live their visions always seem to have time to do
the things they want to do - we often call them "go
getters!" They're focused, make decisions easily and smile
often. And they're flexible - they don't get "stuck" in
their vision and miss better opportunities. As Joseph
Campbell said, "We must be willing to get rid of the life
we've planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for
us."

And you're not limited to just one vision. People are living
full lives into their 90s, something unheard of just
a few generations ago. With continued opportunities to grow
and evolve, we may create several visions over a lifetime. I
can give you an example… I loved being a trader on Wall
Street and couldn't see myself doing anything else. But 20
years later, I've found another passion - consulting and
coaching - and perhaps in another 20 years, there'll be
another passion that calls to me - I can't wait!

If you want to live in a way that empowers and motivates
you, it's time to create a vision. Make it simple but
remember that the hallmark of a vision is that it promotes
action. You must get it out of your head, onto paper, and
into your life! Here are some ways to create a compelling
vision.

Create a theme for the year.
Make it specific and based on where you want to be,
- what you want to accomplish -12 months from now.
Choose 1-4 words that will keep you motivated, for
example:
-- Simply Wealthy
-- Big Leaps of Faith,
-- Be Present, Present Be
-- Be a Successful Me.
Place YOUR words on index cards, or even better create
a banner with your theme on it!

Resource Article: Create A Yearly Theme
http://www.coachmaria.com/articles/yearlytheme.html

Design a dream board.
They're also called treasure maps -a collage of images of
what you'd love to have and make of your life. Why not host
a Dream Board Party and ask your friends to bring magazines
from which everyone can cut pictures?

Resource Article: How To Design A Dream Board
http://www.coachmaria.com/articles/dreamboard.html

Fashion a mind map.
Originated in the late 1960s by Tony Buzan, millions of
people use Mind Maps for the purpose of visioning. Draw a
circle the size of a quarter in the middle of a sheet of
paper and write "YOU" in the middle. Then draw a line coming
out of the circle for each area of your life -
Relationships, Family, Romance, Friends, Professional,
Personal/Spiritual growth, Finance & Money, Physical
Environment, Health, Play & Recreation. These lines can be
short or long, straight or squiggly, and you can use as many
colors as you like!

Out of each of the primary lines, create more lines with
ideas, or draw some pictures about the topic. A mind map's
purpose is to visualize what's important to you, why it's
important, and to create a plan to help you reach your
goals.

Resource Web Site: Mind Mapping
http://www.mind-map.com/EN/mindmaps/how_to.html

Construct A Vision Statement.
In the late 1970's, I learned about setting SMART goals, a
system I continue to use with myself and my clients. SMART
is an acronym for a goal-setting technique:
S(pecific),
M(easurable),
A(chievable),
R(ealistic),
T(ime-frame).

Let's say you want to create a vision for your business.
Using the Vision Statement formula from The One Business
Plan, by Jim Horan, you'd create one sentences that includes
the "time frame" for the vision, a company name, an
adjective that best describes what you want to accomplish,
what your business is about, who it's for, where your
clients are located, describe your products or service and,
of course, include how much you want to make - net or gross,
your choice.

Resource Document: One Page Business Plan Vision Statement
http://www.coachmaria.com/documents/VisionClass_OnePage.pdf

Use your vision statement to stay focused. If an opportunity
comes your way, look at it in light of your vision, say an
opportunity comes your way. You can look at your vision,
decide if the opportunity is in line with - or better than -
what you want, if it's better than what you wanted, or
if it's really something to say "no" to.

Finally, update your vision or theme yearly - and the
beginning of the New Year is a great time to do it! Your
vision can be much more powerful and last longer than a list
of resolutions. Remember that vision statements are dreams
with a very well thought-out, and deliberately created plan
behind them. So take your vision and fly in 2005!

*** From The Publishers Desk ***

Hello Everyone,

The article I included in this weeks issue bears a lot of
thought and consideration. I experienced much of the same
results as the writer of the article did.

In one sense, I felt reasonably confident that I would be
required to subscribe to a 'list' in order to obtain my
'free' gifts.

While that IS true, you often times had to go through
'multiple' steps to obtain your free gifts. One even
required a credit card number. Needless to say, that's one
'gift' I chose NOT to receive.

Although I know the Christmas season is over, I'd like to
offer you these, free:

Your job is to get the money rolling in. Of course, there's

** Education as a Business Philosophy - Mini-Series **

Part 4 -- What Constitutes a Business?

Do you have a belief that a business is a community of
participants organized around a common purpose?
Participants usually have legitimate interests in how the
business is conducted so they DO have legitimate rights
over its business affairs. Contract business fanss see the
enterprise as being run by employees or managers, even
groups, as a kind of democratic organization. Ideas get
pooled. Brainstorming occurs and flows. People trust
development ideas. Synergy moves tasks to benefit the whole
entity. Profit and income potential are present in many
business set-ups.

Business theories abound on the interent and in business,
in general. Stake-Holder types believe that people who DO
have common, legitimate interests in a business, should
also have a voice in how it is run, even IF the facts show
that they do not have ownership in the business. The
non-owners ARE also Stake-Holders. They could be employees,
members or associates that hold other titles. Stake-Holders
in business take contract theory ideas a notch further,
considering that people "outside" of the business
enterprise, should ALSO have a say in how the business
actually operates. Customers, business associates and
members who could be affected by what the business does OR
does not do, ought to have some "say-so" or feedback
regarding business policies..

Is Business Property ?

Yes, we could say that a business is essentially considered
someone's property. In this light, its owners have the
right to operate and dispose of it as they see fit, within
the confines of the law, ethics and values. In this case,
generally workers or consumers don't have any special
rights over the actual property. A good description of this
is that workers voluntarily exchange their labor on behalf
of the business owner for wages or per agreements made in
advance. They have no more right to tell the owner how he
will operate or dispose of his property than the owner has
to tell them how to spend their money, or the property that
belongs to the workers.

However, assuming the business has portrayed its goods
honestly and with FULL disclosure, consumers have no rights
to try to govern the business, which belongs to another
person. Courtesy sometimes changes this set-up. It's wise
to point out that a property owner's rights are not
un-limited, and that they are always constrained by ethics
and values. A car owner cannot burn up his car and
jeopardize the whole neighborhood just because he owns the
car. Just as an oil refinery business does not have an
un-limited right to pollute the air during the
manufacturing process, responsibility is key.

Emerging Negative Tendencies On The JV Scenario!

http://www.learnhomebusiness.com

Would you ever propose a JV to a potential partner that
insults his intelligence, aims to squeeze the potential in
his lists brutally and later on leaving him with a corrupted
list?

Would you ever participate fully in a JV where the sole
aim is to prostitute your hard earned, well maintained
lists?

As I write this, I have received 3 major JV invitations
for Christmas and one of them -- quite frankly, will
result in serious abuse of your lists. Two e.g. are given
below.

1. There is a 12 day stuff going on where the JV partners
subscribers wer initialy forced to download an email
application which these JV proponent is trying to promote!
And as a JV partner you don't know about it until you
yourself enroll for receiving these gifts!

But these guys became wise soon, changed their wrong
approach and showed the commitment to come up to the
expectations of the JV partners.

2. Another JV venture, 117 gifts, is outrageous! Your
subscriber is put through 6 steps before he gets the
first set of gifts!

Your subscriber has to click through their product promotion
page twice. The objective is very clear! It is NOT to build
the lists of both the JV proponent and JV partner, but it is
a cheap ploy to sell the products of the JV proponent!

Again the JV partner is neither aware nor informed about
this! He joins with the dream of getting a truck load of
subscribers...but in fact he is compromising his own lists.

What kind of a JV is this where participants are taken for
a ride with hidden motives?

Joining for JV's like this will seriously undermine your
effectiveness with the future interaction with your lists.

So what are basic steps to remember while proposing
a JV or participating in a JV?

For The JV Proponent
--------------------

1. Today you may be a guru. People may flock at your
doorstep to enter into your JV. But the moment you stop
giving value and becomes interested only in getting value
from you JV partner, you are inviting trouble. A JV is
always a Win-Win situation. Remember that basic line
forever as a JV proponent.

2. Put every card on the table to the JV partner. After all,
he is your equal partner...not someone to be taken for
a ride. Remember that you are entering into JV for substantial
mutual benefit and your JV partner is not there to receive
crumbs from you.

3. Avoid all types of hype with JV partner! After all, if you
consider someone as your JV partner, he has some standing
for himself in the market as well as he is successful in his
own way! Do not insult his intelligence.

For The JV Participant
---------------------

1. Carefully study the JV proposal before you jump into one!
Do not star blasting to your list just because there is word
'Gift' for your subscribers.

2. Do not fall the hype. Remember that your list is one of
the most important ingredients of your online business.
Respect your subscribers and care for them. Do not expose
them to unscrupulous marketers who comes out the so
called 'JV's.

3. Always do a 'SWOT'. That is, identify the Strengths,
Weakness, Opportunities and Threats before you participate
in a JV.

4. Do not be scared that you will be left out of the race!
Have the full confidence that your business came into
existence NOT because of these so called gurus. It is
because of your hard work, your will to learn, integrity,
customer orientation and the products you chose!

In a nut shell: Propose and participate in JVs if you mean
it all the way!

Education as a Business Philosophy - Part 3

Ideas = Food for Thought: Ideas as FUEL for Success!

The real business philosopher might ask, to exactly what
extent, does intuition play a role in our business
knowledge? What do we think it means to have "a gut
feeling" about a business matter? How is it useful? Is
there even such an "animal" as business intuition, or is it
simply a matter of processing or internalizing past and
current knowledge, through a variey of experiences that can
make it seem intuitive. Is it guessing or gambling with our
thoughts and or experiences?

Many mangagers and marketers would probably say that they
DO operate AND rely on using their intuition, especially
when dealing with people, which can then lead us to wonder
about the role of psychology in business matters. Ever feel
like you didn't like someone but you had NO clue why? I am
a firm believer and follower of intuition that can alert
the mind to upcoming mishaps, misunderstandings and
disasters. We sometimes get a feeling that something good
OR bad.......is brewing. How we ACT on it, can be a loss OR
a gain, in life and business. Ideas AND action can create
levels of success and failure. You probably know the
failure feeling. You put forth your best efforts and ideas
then fail.

Do YOU Rely on Gut Feelings to Guide You ?

I am sure quite a lot of people would agree with me, that
Gut Feelngs DO certainly pop up in many instances. Remember
all those times that you had an idea and it just wouldn't
disappear? How many of those ideas did you ACT upon? Did
FEAR of defeat hold you back? Did a lack of skills deter
you ? KNOW this; great ideas can be the vehicle to your
success destination, IF you cultivate good action plans. IF
you lack the skills to proceed, JOIN with a reliable,
ethical, Like-Minded- MENTOR, who is creatively powered.
Often times, the synergy created by groups of people can be
compared to sparkplugs that ignite and energize the total
efforts involved.

Marion Stearns teaches business instinct and
intuition-business practices, as a vehicle to better
success levels. If your e-biz is stuck in mud, check out

Are We IN the Same BallPark?

Is This Making Sense to Both of Us?

Getting tiny agreements as you move along the sales
process, can have favorable results:

1. NEVER go down the e-path without your customer being
your sidekick!

2. Know that if they stick to you like super glue, with
positive responses as you go along, the close has a good
chance of becoming one more positive response.

Traveling in the same direction is always important. Don't
allow distractions! You want to GET to a common
destination. Test the e-waters with small helps.

"Don't you agree? ....... Shouldn't "THIS" be the next
step?....Good, If that's the case, can we do this today?"

EVERY tiny question should logically lead to the BIG
questions, which are: "Can we do business with each
other... can we begin right away?"

If problems are going to crop up, the earlier you discover
them, the better you can deal with solutions. Deal stoppers
are often deadly at the end of the e-path. Get things out
in the open, right upfront.

"I'll work on this and get back to you."

"I'd like to help out. Let me see IF we can do it. I'll
get back to you."

Now, that scenario SURE beats, "Sorry, you struck out;
we're well satisfied with our current supplier."

Set yourself UP for a positive situation.

How To Stop Procrastinating And Get Motivated

by Peter Murphy (c)

Do you spend more time procrastinating than you do
accomplishing? The keys to success in overcoming
procrastination are to determine the reasons you lack
motivation in the first place, to create a plan for
success, and follow the plan to the letter.

You can follow some practical steps and make permanent
changes in your life. Start living up to your true
potential by rising to a new level of motivation, energy,
and dedication.

People procrastinate for different reasons ranging from
fear of failure (or success) to just plain lazy. By first
identifying some of the reasons you procrastinate, you can
develop a plan to end your frustration, finally get
motivated, and stay motivated.

Here are eight great tips for becoming more successful:

1. A major component of motivation is self-confidence.
Fear of failure, fear of rejection, and feeling unworthy or
undeserving are common reasons people procrastinate.
Taking steps to improve your self-esteem will go a long way
in helping you get motivated.

2. Two things in particular motivate human beings: pleasure
and pain. Make a list of the pleasure you'll get from
accomplishing your goals. Also list the consequences
you'll suffer by procrastinating. If you keep the reward
in mind it will be easier to stay focused.

3. Evaluate your life and do some soul searching.
Overcoming irrational fears and phobias are critical steps
in becoming self-confident and motivated.

4. The act of procrastinating itself causes your
self-esteem to suffer. Feelings of guilt, stress, and
anxiety only lead to unfulfilled goals and dreams.

If you dislike yourself because you lack the courage to
pursue your dreams, then you set yourself up for failure.

5. Take a good look at your personal issues and make your
plan. Give your goals and daily tasks your full attention
and strive to complete everything on your list, each and
every day.

6. Procrastination is a habitual behavior. Once you start
procrastinating the harder it is to break the habit. It
takes time and dedication to develop new habits. If you
understand what causes you to procrastinate, you can take
steps to change.

Improving your self-esteem and breaking old habits will put
you on the path to success. Reward yourself for small
accomplishments and keep in mind the end result of reaching
your goals.

7. Procrastination can be overcome if you make a plan to
change and follow it closely. If you fail to complete a
given task, then don't take the reward. Realize that there
are consequences for every action you take.

8. There is a connection between physical and emotional
well being. Taking steps to better your health will help
you to stay motivated and stop procrastinating. Exercise,
maintain a healthy diet, and concentrate on good health
habits as well as good mental and work habits.

If you are feeling bad, whether emotionally or physically,
you accomplish less, which makes you feel even worse.

Overcoming procrastination is perhaps one of the most
important steps you can take to improve your life and
become the motivated, successful person you are capable of
being. You have to let go of your old personality and ways
of doing things to change, quit procrastinating and get
motivated!

Peter Murphy is a peak performance expert.

motivation. Apply now because it is available for a

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for reading,

Education as a Business Philosophy - Part 2

Education Is a Business Philosophy Mini-Series ==> Is
Intuition Foolish?

We could say that intuition is by definition, not the same
thing as an opinion that's based on experience. Intuition
might have unconsciously been formed by our previous
experiences. A person who has an intuitive opinion can't
fully explain why he or she holds that particular
viewpoint. These people generally say that they just FELT
like, it "was" the right thing to do.

A Master of Instinct and Intuition can be very valuable in
business circles. Intuition is an unconscious form of
knowledge. It's on the spot, upfront and not open to
rational or typical OR analytical thought processes. It's
different from instinct, which does NOT have an experience
element. It's a very high form of skill aquisition and can
even be, a model for business.

Intuition does present some advantages in solving complex
problems and finding new results. It is ONE source of
common sense. It sometimes helps us gain knowledge. Some
sources of intuition are: feelings, experiences and
knowledge, itself.

Brainstorming is an important intuitive method. A great
brainstormer is very hard to beat in the business world.
WHY? Because enlightenment might take over the competitive
advantages. We can match skills. We can't always match a
master brainstorming mind. Intuition doesn't always intend
to find a solution right away. Sometimes it can help to
sleep on things, over-night. I recently saw an old Russian
Maxim: The morning knows more than the evening.

The Paradox --- Understanding

A situation which is or CAN appear to be true, but violates
our intuition, is called a paradox (a paradox can also be a
logical self-contradiction).

As a philosophy, intuition is one of the basic cognitive
faculties. It's equivalent to what might casually be
called, "perception". Some theories hold that ALL of our
mind, casts ALL of our "external" intuitions in the form of
space, and all of our "internal" intuitions, some of which
are memory and thought, are in the form of time.

Have you ever "really" thought about mathematical
knowledge? It's knowledge of the pure forms of intuition.
If you stop to examine math theory with a philosophical
viewpoint, you'll get a better idea of something that works
fabulously but does it actually have concrete back-up?

Marion Stearns teaches business instinct and
intuition-business practices, as a vehicle to better
success levels. If your e-biz is stuck in mud, check out

Is Your Benefits List Ready?
Copyright © M B Stearns 2004

You need a benefits "list" but you should always be leading
with your strongest statement.

What counts the MOST, to the contact you're approaching?
Do you know? If not, find out! Pitch your #1 benefit to
spear-head your sales conversation.

Price counts but remember that not every customer wants to
buy the same benefits. Some people want quality and they
WILL pay more cash to get it. Some customers need FAST
delivery and will only do business with someone who can
handle it. 24/7 Customer Service AND Delivery can be an
attractive sales hook. Of course, NOT everyone can provide
this awesome set of services. If you can do it ( or get it
done - by someone who can do it,) you'll have a sales
advantage.

Start off with your primary benefit, not number eight. You
don't want your customer to cut you off, before you even GET
to explain your key point.

Homework:

Write down a list of ALL the benefits that apply to THIS
customer. Why buy from you? Rank this list. Open WITH number
one. It's fine if you do get the chance to walk them through
your whole sales pitch, but go back to the primary benefit.
Get an agreement; close the sale. What do they want and need
more than anything else? Sell it to them.

Find out WHAT that reason is!

How To Master The Power Of "Now"

What are you going to do once the Holidays are
past and you're facing another year of the same
old, same old? Don't you want 2005 to be different
than this year?

I can tell you this -

There is one thing and one thing along that WILL make
2005 your best year ever...

And that one thing is having an understanding and a
mastery of the "Power Of Now".

We've talked about this in previous issues, about how the
past is just that. And we talked about how the future is just
a "Now" that isn't "Now" yet.

It's a hard concept to grasp, but "Now" is really the only
moment in time that counts.

If you are happy in the "Now", then you have control over
your emotions and what happens to you.

Work with me for a minute here - the past was nothing more
than a "Now" that occurred at that moment in time.

It's gone, it's done and there is no going back. To take your
"right now" and to mess it up by reliving past events that
didn't go your way is being abusive to yourself in a sense.

Now, I am not saying that we shouldn't look back on the past
and learn lessons from it. To be oblivious of the past is to be
foolish.

But...

To dwell on the past to the extent that it costs you your present
happiness or your future plans, that's just crazy.

It's like dropping ice cream on the sidewalk. It's done, it's over.
You had an accident. It happens.

The question is, do you now go back into Dairy Queen and buy
yourself another large cup of Vanilla and focus on being happy
right here right now,

Or...

Do you sit there and cry and moan and wail about your dropped
ice cream and promise to never eat ice cream again because
after all you just bought some and dropped it and how dumb are
you and how you should have known better and how silly and
foolish of you and so best not to ever to try to eat ice cream again
because it's just too painful to do?

Now, does that sound silly to you? Giving up ice cream just
because you dropped it one time?

It is silly. You wouldn't dream of punishing yourself for dropping
ice cream by accident. After all, it's no big deal and you are
only human. You go and pick up another cup and off you go.

But yet, in life when we make other mistakes, we beat ourselves
senseless. We relive them, anguish over them, rage against our
own selves, we do everything we can to punish ourselves and we
somehow manifest the same situation over and over and over.

It's like as if we were getting paid to relive things, that's how much
energy we put into it.

But, what if...

What if instead of beating ourselves up for past mistakes, we
focused instead on the "Present Moment"?

What if we said "hey, past is past and right now I can happily choose
to bring into existence an entirely new outcome in my life"?

What if it were possible to do this? Possible to have the ability to
change any situation you don't like, instantly and effortlessly?

How many things could you improve in your life if you only had the
ability to stop and think and say hey "in this moment, I chose to be
present and accountable for my own actions. I will no longer be a
victim".

"In fact, if X upsets/bothers/depresses me, I will simply move away
from it, I will release "ownership" of it, and I will instead change my
thoughts and my reactions towards something that will be more
productive"?

In Dr. Robert Anthony's course over at
http://eliteinnercircle.com/reports/c/87 ,
he talks about the importance of "flip-switching".

What that means is that you mentally 'fiip a switch'
in your mind and when something negative gets in
your head, you learn how to deliberately "overwrite"
it with a positive thought.

It takes practice, but believe it or not, if you can only
just replace a negative thought with a positive thought -
any positive thought - for just 17 seconds, you
literally "defuse the bomb" and the negative emotion
is cancelled out. It literally becomes null and void and
you learn that it has no power over you, no effect over
you, only that which you chose to give it in the first
place.

I can't stress how vitally important this concept is to
you. To your internet efforts, to be sure. But, I am talking
about your entire life from the time you wake up to the
time you go to bed.

Imagine how much further along you would be online if you
only, only, if you only just had a way to leave your past
behind and to come to live only in this exact moment. You'd
be able to chose wisely, to pick the thing that is best for you
to do and to do it by second nature.

How powerful would that be? How different of a life would that
be for you?

http://eliteinnercircle.com/reports/c/87 is literally
a miracle work if you ask me.

(Make sure you go to
http://www.internetcashplanet.com/robertanthonyspecial.htm
to get the $1 trial offer, though)

I don't know about you, but I am only human. I have beat myself
up over silly things I've done literally thirty years ago.

Now, let's think about that for a second.

What kind of maniac punishes himself for something that occurred
three freaking decades ago?

What have I cost myself in terms of my present and my future, by
reacting to past events that have been gone for days, months, years,
even decades?

I mean when I think about it, my mind reels in horror.

No one else is sitting there doing this to me, no one is holding me
down and forcing me to relive the summer of 1979 or Jan 16th, 1986
or even last Tuesday, are they?

The fact is the only person that can hold us down, beat us up, hurt us
bad is our own selves.

Now, that seems to be simple enough to grasp. You would think a
smart guy like me would be able to figure this stuff out and just fix it
all with a snap of my fingers, right?

But that's not the case. I still beat myself up over things. I still don't
live fully in the "present moment" and I am still not what I would call
"situationally aware" all the time.

But..,

What I can tell you is that I am way, way ahead of where I've been in
the past and I am making steady (and dramatic) progress towards
being able to focus fully on the "Now".

I have done this by carefully studying the material over at
http://eliteinnercircle.com/reports/c/87
and by practicing it.

Now, it might be hard to believe that one simple set of audio
courses can have such a massive effect on my life.

Even more importantly, it might be very hard for you to see
how this same set of audio courses can have an even
greater effect on your own life.

I can't say anything to you other than what I know.

All I do know is that what is taught here works - if one
practices and applies the information.

It is something awesome and inspiring when you can
literally learn how to change your entire life, when you can
forgive yourself for your past mistakes, and when you can
come to love yourself for who you are right here, right now.

This material helps to show how you create that in your own
life. It's simple, it's fun, it's easy and it's oh-so-effective.

Thank God for leading me to the right people who have the
right information I need at the right time in my life.
http://eliteinnercircle.com/reports/c/87 showed
up for me right when I need it most and right when I was
most open to listening to the message and actually applying
it.

I just wish there was some way that I could get it so that you
could take a leap of faith and listen to Dr. Robert Anthony as
well.

For you see, I care about you as a person as well as caring
about you as one of my readers. Don't ask me why I am like
this but I really and truly do love all of mankind, and I want
all of us to be happy and to live productive lives.

I could have used this newsletter today to promote something
else worthwhile, something like a marketing related e-book or
how to write good copy or whatever.

The truth is though, right now it is so much more important for
you to have an awareness of what living in the "Now" can mean
to your life.

If I make less in revenue by telling you about this today as
opposed to promoting something else, than so be it. I can live
with that. And I also understand that doing right is always the right
thing to do (no "situational ethics" here) and that this material
should be in every last one of your hands.

Please, please, please. Listen to me. It's later in the day on
Friday. What do you have on tap for the weekend? Most
everything else can wait long enough for you to in-vest" in
yourself by listening and studying what's over at
http://eliteinnercircle.com/reports/c/87

(Make sure you go to
http://www.internetcashplanet.com/robertanthonyspecial.htm
to get the $1 trial offer, though)

The rest of your life can be radically different from what you've
lived to date. If you are happy so far, great. Be even happier.
And if you've not been fulfilled so far in life, then even more
important for you to have this awesome guide to life.

My word is my bond, and I say it to anybody who will listen -
fix the "Now", forget the past, and you assure yourself of
having an awesome rest of your life.

Please, love yourself enough to pick this one up and put it
to good use:

http://eliteinnercircle.com/reports/c/87

(Make sure you go to
http://www.internetcashplanet.com/robertanthonyspecial.htm
to get the $1 trial offer, though)

I am a changed man because of it. Far from perfect, but even
more importantly, far from the sullen, sad past that I "happily"
forced myself to relive every day.

My greatest wish is for your happiness. Read the copy at that
link over, and please love yourself enough to act on it.

Have a great day,

Frank

Hello everyone,

As Christmas rapidly approaches, do you have a special
someone that you're having problems figuring out exactly
WHAT to get them?

I know I sure do ... sometimes you HOPE an idea just pops
in your head.

May I be so bold as to make a recommendation?

If you have a coffee, tea or cocoa lover on your list,
perhaps a free sample (which includes free shipping) from
http://nancygloss.com would be in order.

I've tried the Mocha and Cocoa and enjoy both :)

=======================

Education as a Business Philosophy - Part 1

This is NOT a "wanna be" zillionaire style series of
emails. It's a business philosophy that indicates what few
people "decide" to acknowledge.

Take a Look....

We'll refer to brief needs requiring instant e-bandages.
What does this mean? We must know and understand what the
real costs are....... for using them. Quick fixes can be
handy at times but at what cost? Do instinct and intuition
really have a place in business?

Do you believe that e-individuals have some level, of the
elementary theory of business? Do you agree that you do
have some kind of understanding of the concepts AND needed
changes, that are required to succeed? Many people say they
do RUN a business but "does" that mean they do? No. Can a
person with no defined or known skills, use prompted ideas
to succeed in business?

Instinct Possibilities.............

First, to trust instinct, you must have a willingness to
trot boldly, to GO where no man OR woman has ever dared to
tread before. IF you need and want a "reaity check" reply
to yourself,.... you are probably a person who depends on
your personal instinct. Can a new idea fuel you with
motivation and inspiration, OR does it leave an empty
feeling within, of being lost and confused? Do you always
KNOW how to proceed? Years ago average people wondered
about intuition and instinct. Now we KNOW the ancient,
secret stuff.

Clarification of Instinct and Fear

Have you ever felt like doing something specific but never
knew WHY you felt that way ? Instinct tells you whether to
go with an idea or to POUND it. What could be behind this
idea we call instinct? Fear? Yes. Fear of the unknown is
usually confusing. If you don't know something, then your
instinct has a hard time giving your GUTS the desired
prompt! This is where education pops in. Since, some things
remain a thorn in our sides, most of us DO try different
things. Shouldn't you feel the same way? Make
changes....pronto!

"Eric, is it O.K. for me to use your name and say Eric sent
me?"

Referrals are Always PURE Gold!

The best answer to the customer's implied question "Why
should I listen to you?" is this:

1. Someone they esteem or trust says YOU are worth listening
to. Referrals open closed doors that we can't access in
other ways. For us, life is an e-game of "who" you know.
That statement is only distasteful to those who say they
don't know anybody.

We can get acquainted with hundreds of people in the course
of our daily e-selling duties. It isn't hard to get
referrals in our line of business. ASK for them! All you
have to do is remember to ASK people "who" they know and
will they introduce you, or allow you use them as a
referral. Do this consistently and in time, it will work for
you.

Sometimes, you'll have to sell the idea of getting a
referral. Use a 3-step sales approach:

1. "Why should I listen to you?" Think: "Because I have just
done some outstanding things for you, Eric."

2. " What's in this for me?" Think: "Your friend will
certainly thank you for sending me to them."

3. "Why should I do something right now?"
"I'm asking you now so I can follow up with your contact
right away. Then they'll owe YOU a favor!"

There's very little argument that the most powerful
e-password you can ever GET is, "Eric sent me." It's really
a 3rd-party testimony that you WILL be trusted not only on
your own words, but because ERIC says so!

Use Eric's name for all he is worth, and believe me, he has
always been worth PLENTY in every sales business!

How To Use RSS Feeds In Your Marketing
Copyright © 2004 Dr. Mani Sivasubramanian
RSS Marketing
http://www.RSS-Marketing.com

It was Friday night. I finished reading a book about RSS feeds.
Quickly set up one for my site, submitted it on directories and
went to bed.

Sunday morning, I noticed a sale. Idly, I scanned my logs to
see where the buyer had found me.

It was from Yahoo! Now that may not seem surprising, except...
I had not been listed in Yahoo! before.

Curious, I did a Yahoo! Search for my domain name... and almost
fainted in shock! There were 123 of my pages listed - many of
them in the top 10 ranks on my best keywords.

My RSS feed had been listed within 48 hours - and since my other
pages were linked from it, they had all been indexed by Yahoo!
just as quickly. And for free!

Since then I have heard many others share similar experiences.
It is no fluke. RSS is H-O-T. And search engines LOVE it.

So what is RSS? An acronym for Really Simple Syndication, it is
a web language format designed to help syndicate content across
different sources.

RSS has been around for more than 10 years but has only recently
become popular. RSS feeds provide headlines and summaries of
information in a concise and standardized way.

The rise in RSS popularity, specially among marketers, has many
reasons. Email filters and new legislation have lowered the
effectiveness of email marketing. Content syndication in many
different ways is gathering momentum. And fresh, frequently
updated content is the very essence of the Web.

How can you use RSS feeds in your marketing? Is there a way to
turn RSS feeds into profits?

Absolutely. Here are some ideas:

1. Beat email filters. Ask your subscribers, prospects and
clients to sign up to your RSS feed along with your email
newsletter. If the ezine gets blocked, they'll still get
your RSS feed.

2. Spread the word. Offer your new, valuable content to many
other 'lazy' website owners - in return for getting extra
exposure of your name and brand to their audiences.

3. Get listed on search engines. No one knows how long this
'honeymoon' will last. But ride the wave - and get into
search engines quickly, inexpensively - by submitting your
RSS feeds to them.

4. Use the first-mover advantage. Dedicated RSS directories
are mushrooming. Make sure your RSS feed is indexed in them
and you could future-proof your business. Imagine if you
were one of the first sites to be indexed in Google or
Yahoo 5 years ago!

5. Offer your readers new content. Keep creating your own
content - but also use RSS feed syndication to offer other
people's content to your list. Less pain, less strain,
more gain.

And that's not all. On a bet, I sat down and listed 41 different
ideas to profit from RSS feeds. I'm sure you can do it too - and
turn the hot new revolution in online communication into a money
magnet for your ebusiness.

Happy blogging.

*** From The Publishers Desk ***

Hi All,

I had an interesting message in my Quikonnex free message
center:

"Hi, Phillip... Can you help me with my search? I am asking
everybody I can: "What's the best way to promote my
business?" Thanks for your time."

I do indeed have a desire to help people accomplish their
end goals. I attempt to answer questions to the best of my
abilities. If I don't know the answer, I have been VERY
fortunate to build relationships with people of diverse
backgrounds & experiences :)

However, the person who asked for my help, neglected to
leave a way for me to contact them ... it was simply an
affiliate link in the body.

Yes, I know ... I could have signed up to the website form
with my info, but .... Quite Frankly, WHY should I? If this
person would have left a contact method, I could have
contacted them privately.

Now ... on to the question:

What's the best way to promote my business?

{These are my opinions ONLY}

1. There is NO "one size fits all" best way to promote your
business. Promotion can range from marketing, advertising,
PPC, written articles, word of mouth, search engine
optimization, etc {the list is nearly endless}

2. Quite frankly, by NOT leaving your contact info at my
message center, you have possibly reduced your credibility
... who asks for help and then doesn't leave a way to
contact them?? I DO understand that you may not like giving
out your email address, but you could have signed up for a
free message center through Quikonnex :)

3. You told me NOTHING about exactly WHAT YOU wish to
accomplish, I'd be strictly guessing ... should I dust off
my crystal ball?

I may be coming across as being nasty ... that isn't my
intent. Just remember, if you ask for help, be as SPECIFIC
as possible. Your question, as posed above, is a bit too
broad.

Some questions for YOU to consider:

HOW serious am I about my business? Will I ethically do
whatever it takes to succed? Will I follow the training
program? Will I seek out a personal mentor to help me in
THIS business?

I wish you the best of luck,

Phillip

Eat or Be Eaten Alive....... The Hawk and the Dove -- Great
Leadership Skills Part 5

The old school of e-marketing focused on technology
innovation. Today, prospects know that technology and
services are the business tools which "drive" results. Like
other business tools, prospects willseek reasons to buy
your tools, instead of someone else's. In order to grow
your company aggressively into 2005, you'll need to FOCUS
on your sales distribution. Your sales capabilities create
your paycheck!.

If you're serious about leading into 2005, a 10-15% income
growth should never be acceptable. You must plan,
strategize and plot your business model and make
appropriate changes, in order to grow .

e-Courage requires real action, not just thinking about
action.

Where should your time, effort and marketing dollars go ?
They must all be focused on creating sales leads. Be
careful not to use vague practices or invest in marketing
that is difficult to implement. You should want an
opportunity that offers a solid - growth income. Spending
money on marketing is like investing in a huge pleasure
boat. It drains your budget and you still wonder why you
have it. Focus on results that are SALES specific.
Understand why you work....why you need HIGH income
potential and WHY and HOW.....you win in business. GET the
help you need.

It's "SO" easy to say we win because of our prices,
technology, or that our customer service is better, but
many times the differences between you and your competition
are more marginal than you might even imagine. It's more
important than ever , to understand your sales process and
why YOU want to win IN your e- business.

Understand why you LOSE business. You already know what
your sales staff says, but is it accurate? Can you trust
the people you work with? Have you really investigated the
details of why you lose deals? Find that answer and you can
grow like weeds!

It's essential that your sales associates get paid decently
for new business. Never expect then to stay with a
"non-performing - never- a- chance to succeed " lame
opportnity! Allow them to be paid first, if you can handle
it Raise commissions, cuts and benefits as time goes on.
Appreciate the hand that feeds you.

Stimulate yourself and your sales team to TAKE action
steps. Paying the same sales cut for current customers as
you do for NEW business, doesn't always motivate
salespeople to hunt for new business. (unless your pay
schedules are dynamite now... start paying for hunting, not
for farming!) New customer incentives can be given in many
forms. Be creative....cash isn't the only option.

It's Eat OR Be Eaten Alive ---Which do YOU prefer?

We appreciate your e-company and we thank you for joining
us. This concludes our series. Since we can't be Hawks and
Doves at the same time, take the high road, market fairly
and feast on ehtical success!

ASK THE ADMISTRESS - CLUES 4 SUCCESS
E-Death by Choice Part 2
Copyright © M B Stearns 2004

What have you done to orchestrate your current brand into
business circles? Are you giving your branding plan enough
time to work? How many times have you re-started your
business focus? Have you made any decent money with your
previous biz identity plans?

If you hop around from business to business, it's hard to
create a profitable brand. Decide if you have a losing
proposition. Change brand strategies if needed. If you have
previously failed at branding a unique business identity,
make some changes. Use caution IF you decide to re-brand
yourself. Readers and buyers aren't fools. Keep starting
over and you'll never be taken seriously.

Be careful with new brand strategies when you have never
successfully created a profitable brand. Don't panic if you
miss a few short-term goals. Get realistic. Did your brand
really FAIL, or did YOU fail your brand? Be sure you know
the difference. Work smart.

E-Marketing is not for the faint-hearted. Handling
competitive challenges, flexible marketing changes and
dealing with the "hop-skip-and jumps," of consumer actions
can wear down e-stamina. Remember that a portion of what you
see and hear on the net is only the noise of those
competitors who use "swinging door" branding plans.

There will always be bumps in the e-marketplace. Build a
serious brand that lasts. If you need help -- GET it!

=======================================

Clue # 192 - Brand your biz identity for Profit!
You CAN accomplish this in a short time IF you know the
e-ropes.

Are You Utilizing All the Features of Google Adsense?

By Merle
http://MCPromotionsPress.com

Many website owners know that Google's Adsense program is a
great way to show targeted ads on your site and make money
at the same time.

Google offers many features that you may not know about.
Let's take a look at a few of them.

Colors: With built in color palettes, you can use Google's
or create up to 100 of your own. You can pick up to four
palettes that randomly rotate on your site.

Channels: If you use Adsense on multiple sites, it's nice
to know which page and domains are generating the most
click thrus. Channels offer detailed reporting so you can
assign separate channels to each of your domains, track
different ad formats to see which sites/ads are pulling
better.

You can use up to 50 channels and you can deactivate them
at will. If you use descriptive names in your titles, you
can easily recognize what you were tracking when you check
your stats later on. You will have to generate specific
code to paste onto your pages.

Ad Formats: Google offers many different ad formats in
various sizes, from buttons to banners. To view all of the
available sizes, see http://google.com/adsense/adformats
You'll want to experiment with different formats to see
which ones generate the best click through rates for you.

Image Ads: Don't forget about image ads, which are offered
in four major formats:

Leaderboard 728X90 Banner 468X60 Med Rectangle 300X250
Skyscraper 120X600

You can opt to show a combination of image and text ads,
but not image ads alone. You can also choose to display
image ads only on some pages of your site and not all of
them. Again, you'll want to test to see if graphic ads
outperform standard text ads.

Public Service Ads: If Google doesn't have targeted ads to
display on your site, they'll show PSA's (Public Service
Ads). To avoid this you can set up your own "alternate ads"
to appear in their place. By showing your own ads you can
still generate an income instead of donating the space to
charity.

Reports: Google offers many different reports you can
download in CSV format in which you can then import into
any spreadsheet program for further analysis.

For more information see Google's new updated FAQ page at
https://www.google.com/support/adsense

As you can see, Google offers a variety of features for
AdSense users to make their service work best for your
website. Isn't it time you took a closer look?

Create Your Day

By Kathleen Gage

The power of creation is available to us all on a daily basis. Upon
waking, take a few minutes to think of your day ahead. What will you
be doing today and how will it impact you? Take into account all you
can do to create a day with as little tension and as much ease as
possible. This is all with the intention of creating a balanced state
of mind, and as a result, a balanced state of affairs.

Most of us let our day impact us, as opposed to taking the
enlightened position of impacting our day. When we choose to be kind
and move with ease, not only our lives, but also those of everyone
around us, will be more fulfilling.

Empower yourself and others through choice.

The Hawk and the Dove -- Great Leadership Skills Part 4

How can you develop intuition to help you along your
leadership path? Intuition can be described like a muscle.
It must be worked out in order to develop. It really helps
if you make yourself aware of impulses that are always
manifesting in your mind and body. We all get inner
messages. Fear is a prime example of an inner message.
Maybe someone was speaking to you and you got a sick
feeling in the pit of your stomach. Have you ever heard
someone's voice and saw an image flash in your mind? What
about the times that you spoke with someone and said to
yourself...." She's lying! " These things are all windows
into your inner senses.

Intuition is important in our line of work. Gut instinct
has to be strong. If you begin to pay close attention to
these inner impulses and signals, you'll be fine tuning
your own intuition! Repeat to yourself words describing the
feelings you experienced. Consciously say to yourself....
"that person gave me a sick feeling." You can also begin a
journal to write down these inner thoughts.

Never discount anything that pops into your mind. One of
the saddest enemies of intuition is our own rational mind,
discounting our information. Fine tune your
intuition......it helps in our line of business!

You can grow your company based on your business strengths
and weaknesses.

===> "The most fatal illusion is the settled point of view.
Life is growth and motion; a fixed point of view kills
anybody who has one." Brooks Atkinson ===>

It takes a guts and courage to accept the fact that your
current business model may not be making the grade. Courage
is an awkward word, because it creates "visual pictures" in
the mind of the receiver that are based on their perception
of what it means.

"Courage" as Aesop once said "is easy from a safe
distance." Look beyond the mundane! IF you are in e-sales,
forget the " Steady Freddy" approach. That
"grow-as-you-go" concept has to be ignored. Sure,, you can
always blame the economy or blame your competition for
dropping their prices or copying you, but innovative and
creative business owners take chances and risks. They
adapt to their business model needs,with courage and
confidence! It can be safe and easy NOTto take chances and
grow slowly, but those who need to keep a roof over their
heads, need to stop managing their businesses from a safe
distance.

This type of e-cultural and e-operational change . . .
takes real courage and character. Where are the hard
charging, "take-no-prisoner," LEADERS who want to dominate
in their market in ethical fashion? What happened to
healthy competition?

Has the e-game sucked and sapped the very strength out of
all of the fair play "let's go get them" e-business
owners? This kind of lack, "the let's go get 'em"
leadership does trickle down to e-sales, e-operations and
e-marketing teams. If they observe the management team's
lack of aggressive leadership and subliminally adopt this
very lazy and passive style of business revenue, progress
comes to a halt.

As a senior e-business, if you are not aggressively growing
your own e-business, you must realze that there are
thousands of other internet companies that could be
emailing and /or calling your prospects.

Is it silly or naïve to suggest that e-business owners
take control of their companies, and NOT maintain the same
stale, old, operating models? Why shouldn't they try to
aggressively grow their businesse even if it is culturally
or politically uncomfortable? Where's the courage and
character? Where's the guts?

Is the goal just to maintain current status quo? No, not
if the leader's goals are to lead their firm to great
success levels. There are primary measurements of marketing
and sales.under contract.

Please join us for the upcoming conclusion to this
series... Intuition, Courage and Character The Hawk and the
Dove -- Great Leadership Skills....

We'll be giving you some Leader Action Steps that you Can Do
Right Now through 2005. Accept the fact that your core
competence must be sales distribution, not technology or
services.

How much do you know about profitable, business "identity"
marketing plans? Do you understand that a lot of
"name-brands" working the net, fail to achieve true
potential? Some brands remain weak so they never accomplish
anything. The result? They never create any real value. If
you lack the money to brand properly, you'd better hitch
your wagon to a shining star, or the result might be....
e-Death by choice.

Pride can ruin more chances of e-success than most of us can
imagine. You don't need cash to build a brand BUT you will
need to work a LOT harder when your wallet is empty! How bad
do you desire success?

How Does This e-Flopping Happen?

Well, you can struggle for years OR get help! Branding a biz
name and creating a profitable business identity is not a
simple matter. Slow death of a brand can also happen when
brand strategy and tactics "seem" solid. Neglecting a
forceful plan can make a brand lose steam. Consider your
time frame. Do you need immediate income? If so, you should
get the help required to brand yourself quickly!

You'll need TIME to build a successful business identity.
If you lack time, resources and cash, piggyback with a
quality brand and save yourself a lot of misery. PiggyBacks
can help you develop your own brand. Making constant
changes in your brand strategy, is seldom smart. You'll lose
years in wasted effort. Ask the people you do business with
how many times they started over. That alone, should
enlighten you.

Do You Understand Genealogy and Distributor MLM List Building?

There are many networkers who are just sick and tired of
looking like downline fools. They may have been very
serious about building a profitable downline, but they got
disgusted with downlines always falling apart.

Do Good Intentions Pave the Way to the Bank?

If they did, we'd all be very wealthy. Targeting
specialized business partners can help you put the odds of
success in your favor. Downlines are NOT dead............

The Secret Leaked OUT......................

Many networkers could have used a good understanding of
Genealogy and Distributor Lists a long time ago! Sadly,
many of us have never been invited to "insider" moneymaking
secrets. There are many ways to build a list and it can be
confusing as you try to decide how to build your business.

Below are some standard choices:

1. You could set up auto-responders, emails, make fancy
presentations

2. You can also buy opportunity seeker leads (every month)
on auto-ship

3. How about making a list of a few hundred family members
and friends?

4. Another option might be advertising in ezines,
magazines; maybe even newspapers

5. This one was considered popular at one time. Advertising
a company's replicated website and praying for traffic to
arrive.

Now....many of us have tried all of these things and maybe
our wallets still remained empty. We might have tried all
these things only to get to the "poor farm" rather than the
bank. Our uplines probably had good intentions but it just
didn't work.

Did anyone ever suggest to you that one of the the most
efficient, quick, and powerful ways to build your business
might be to contact other network marketers? A great way to
do this is to use MLM Genealogy Reports.

Be sure to look for more than lists for sale. A good mentor
and useful resources can help you develop a plan for
contacting your MLM target market. Look for help setting up
your own website? This can enable you to educate other
networkers about your opportunity.

Winning the game...requires a gameplan. Find a great coach
and GO for the gold!

** Marketing Tip **

From http://kathleengage.com (newsletter)

Make a commitment for the long-term. Rarely is there
"overnight success" in business. Success comes from making
a long-term commitment to your marketing, promotions and
publicity. What may appear as instant success often takes
someone 10, 15 or even 20 years of action. Start by
creating a big picture vision. Next, outline steps you can
take to achieve the outcome of your vision. Then, be
willing to take daily action.

====================================

The Hawk and the Dove -- Great Leadership Skills Part 3

Leaders always possess certain traits that motivate people
to follow and collaborate with them. Courage is one
necessary element of real leardership. True leaders seldom
buckle under pressure. They're durable and reliable.

As leaders consistently express these traits, the more they
will influence, inspire and motivate their colleagues,
staff and customers in ways that can usually make and save
more money within the enterprise, over the long haul.
Everyone benefits.......so greed is unknown and
unacceptable..

We all should be able to match our "walk" with our "talk."
This can help increase a positive impact on those around
us. If you invest the time necessary to do a periodic
review of these traits, you'll probably improve in many
areas.

What results can you expect?

You should experience an increase in credibility. People
will come to trust you, have more confidence in you,
respect you, and cooperate with you., You should feel
increased loyalty flowing toward you, as you work with
people. The best part about the results is that you'll be
helping yourself and other people to achieve your
organization's mission, vision, operating values, ethics
and goals.

To what degree do you believe you are... honest by telling
the truth and taking only what is rightfully your share?

** How patient are you when you work and interact with
other people?

** Are you equally kind and considerate with everyone?

** Do you show gratitude to people for their personal
contributions?

** How gracious are you in dealing with people?

** Can you "eat crow" and be humble when serving
colleagues, customers, suppliers and others?

** Are you polite in your words and deeds?

** Do you live and serve in value driven ways?

** How calm and understanding are you when dealing with
conflict?

** Are you fair and just in all decisions?

** Do you forgive other people's mistakes and faults ?

** How protective of other people's best interests are you?

** Do you really trust people?

** Are you optimistic in difficult situations?

** Do you expect the best from others?

** Are you loyal to other people?

** Can you persevere in order to achieve the right
results? (in other words, can you take the "heat?")

Once you can figure out where you stand in leadership
capabilities, you'll need a great deal of courage to take
you to the bank. e-Courage can be important when dealing
with faces behind a computer screen. That's where
intuition, courage and character come into play.

Join us next time for Part 4......we'll cover e-intuition,
courage and character!

======================================

Selfishness abounds. E-Life is not the same as it was years
ago; the e-bedrock of remaining polite and being civil is
eroding.

How should e-marketers handle deadly assaults when dealing
with people who penetrate their e-skin? Thomas Jefferson's
advice was to practice "politeness," even "good humor," in
daily life. ( Of course, he might change his mind if he
worked here.)

Commonplace aggravations are on the rise in all parts of
e-life and life, in general. We no longer see hoards of
street people or e-people, wanting to help us "carry our
e-groceries." Disgruntled people hand us language here
that can make a sailor blush at times. Do these goofs call
offline companies and speak so boldly in anger?

In short, a lack of e-manners is more than picking the right
fork at the table. The key factors might be improved with
the description we'll define as the "3-legged-table." We
tend to say we have manners but oftentimes we lose our cool.
We used to rely on home, school and our place of worship, to
shape character and life. Some of our contacts might have
been raised on RAP music and Pop Culture, where language,
frequently has no boundaries. With some people, one OR more
of the legs of the table might be missing. Since we don't do
background checks for business, how do we survive verbal
e-assaults?

Do your best to keep cool under e-fire. Many people quite
frankly, do not feel the need to be courteous to other
people, online and offline. Small daily offenses can really
rock e-boats and ruin a great day. Yes, it's important if
you don't want people to be rude to you, don't be rude to
them. However, those who practice verbal abuse with threats
and filth should be dropped from your pool of acquaintances
and be held accountable, for their actions.

** Feature **

All Aboard The Hype Train

Are you not achieving the level on on-line success that you
desire? Are you not making enough sales for the products
and services that you promote? Are you having trouble
finding that program that's going to give you that BIG
break? Are you still looking for that "silver bullet?" If
you answered yes to all or most of the above questions then
your problem may be that you are riding on the "hype train."

What exactly is the "hype train?" It's a term I coined to
describe the ride taken by people getting pumped up
(excited) about every great product they read about. They
haven't yet found that product that's making them
incredible riches. They jump from product to product
searching frantically for that one product. They jump from
car to car on a train that's taking them nowhere!

You need to be aware of how the hype train works so that
you don't get on for the most futile ride of your life!

The success of the hype train is fueled by a number of
human faults. The biggest one that I've noticed is what's
termed the "herd mentality." This is very noticeable in the
"internet marketing" arena.

Humans are reassured when they see others doing the same
things they are doing, or doing things that they are
contemplating.

That's part of why testimonials work in advertising. We are
not sure that we are about to make the correct decision,
but we get a "warm fuzzy" when we see those we believe are
savvy individuals making the choice we are contemplating.

If those we follow are making good choices, that can be
good.... it saves us the trouble of doing all of our own
research.

Where the herd mentality gets us in trouble is when we let
fear of missing out cause us to take action. If we read
about a new product or service and get involved because we
fear that hesitating will cause us to totally miss out, we
often make bad decisions.

We fail to reason that if a product or service is really
that great, the demand will still be there tomorrow and we
do have time to "sleep on" the decision. If the market is
so limited that thinking about it for a day or two will
cause you to lose out, then you should probably pass anyway!

As we contemplate our decision to get involved in promoting
a product or service, hype often rears it's ugly head.

I define hype as things designed to get us so excite about
a product or service that we don't examine it objectively.
Laws and standards often keep the hype from being blatant
lies. Instead, the positive points are emphasized and the
negative aspects are never presented.

An example of this is when an affiliate program manager
tells of the affiliate making $10,000 a month. If he fails
to mention that this affiliate is not "average" and gives
the impression that many, many affiliates are achieving
this income level, then it's "hype."

Hype is used in the internet marketing arena and many
others because it works. People have to see the "potential"
in an opportunity. If an affiliate program manager spent a
lot of effort emphasizing that most affiliates never make
any sales, he would get very few signups. It doesn't matter
that the reason most affiliates for many programs never
make any sales is that they never do anything to promote
the product.

Those drawn to the hype often enthusiastically embrace what
appears to be a really promising product or service. As
soon as they get on the train and get settled in for the
ride, they look over at another car and see another
business opportunity that they can't afford to miss. The
herd mentality kicks in and they jump into the next car. As
the train chugs along these people jump from car to car.

All of this unfocused activity rarely produces significant
results and the person soon dozes off to sleep.... tired
and disillusioned. He awaken day after day and continues
his frantic jump from car to car never seeing how
unproductive it all is.

How do you avoid taking a ride on the hype train?

You take a hard look at any product or service that you are
thinking of promoting. You look for real value and
long-term potential. You confirm that it's not just a
product that in a week will be old news and will have left
a lot of disappointed purchasers in it's wake. You
acknowledge that the true path to earning a decent living
on-line is marketing products and services that deliver
real quality and value.

Delivering real quality and value produces repeat
customers, and this gives you a steadily growing income.

Now that you are aware of the hype train, you can avoid the
ride. You can ensure that you don't help finance a train
that only leads many to terrible train wrecks. Now you can
look for that gravy train that is on the true track to
long-term business success. It's at the same station, you
just need to make sure you get on the right train.

Get and stay organized. Simply put, be prepared. The more
prepared you are the more you can handle the unexpected
emergencies. A more efficient system translates to greater

where you stand with your marketing campaigns. Carve out

in order to stay ahead of the curve.

** The Hawk and the Dove -- Great Leadership Skills Part 2

Let's begin by defining leadership.

1. True leadership is really awesome. It's a matchless
desire to make a real difference by marshaling and meshing
the talents and gifts of other people, all for a nobel
cause.

2. Leadership can also be a nightmare. It's a drill in
sorting through messy human relationships, sometimes in
gory detail. Leadership can be quite a wild adventure
because in some way, it enables us to magnify our own
personal impact on the whole world.

3. Leadership can be very lonely. It's often a battle
against our own doubts and apprehensions, where we only
have our own judgement about human nature, to fall back on.
We win a few rounds and lose more rounds than a few, but
the gems usually do survive.

4. Leadership is certainly unique! It's not a matter of you
or me "doing" or "being" great; it's about us "inspiring"
excellence and greatness in other people. Selfishness is
never the aim of a true leader.

5. Leadership is the highest level of responsibility. It's
always an assumption of real accountability ...
accountability for people that you can't control, for
actions that you never perform, for all of the people and
places that may not share OR encourage, your own true sense
of ongoing accountability. Real leadership has to be built
and nurtured on trust.

Think about this......... Is leadership ... what you
thought it was?! It's never about having or using command
and control or Royal Charisma. It always requires lingering
in the depths and pits, then soaring to up to the heights,
as we rally other people to re-invent themselves, in order
to pursue "almost" seemingly impossible and lofty dreams.

The most important element of leadership is drawing upon
the courage to be yourself. Join us next time when we'll
bring you an important element of leadership.

"New opinions are always suspected, and usually opposed
without any other reason but because they are not already
common."

John Locke -English Philosopher ( 1632-1704 )

====

Who wants to BE common in e-sales? There's plenty of give
and take in internet sales relationships. Questions of
integrity will pop up so it is up to each of us to be
honorable in mutual business relationships. It's wise to
just deal with what bothers you than just continuing down
the worry-path.

Before you allow a biz relationship to form, consider your
own needs at this point in your life, and HOW it fits INTO
the e-biz relationship. How DO people FIT into your BIG
Picture? Ask yourself..."Will I be starting over and over,
again and again?"

To implement your e-plans, it's best to get connected. You
have no real idea of WHO can really help you until you put
the word out and EXPLORE your own possibilities. People
"in-the-know" can educate you in ONE conversation, when
show-offs waste hours upon hours, of your time and effort.

Success depends ON promoting yourself and your e-business in
a serious and positive light. There are NO short-cuts
without name recognition. This CAN be reached in a subtle
way through self-confidence. Create a mystery and allow
others to lead the way with answers!

I Would Give Anything To …

A couple days ago I was listening to a CD by one of the
most successful speakers in the industry. He has been
around for many years and is considered one of the greats.
He is also considered to be somewhat off the beaten path.
As much as he is admired and respected by many, he is
judged by just as many. The segment I found most intriguing
was one about how others often say to him, "I would give
anything to be a successful speaker and author just like
you."

Anyone who has achieved a relatively high level of success
in their industry has probably had the same statement
directed to them. "I would give anything to be a successful
________ just like you."

Truth be told, achieving a level of success others will
want to emulate is something most people are not willing to
make the necessary sacrifices for. Sure, they want the end
result, but are they willing to step out from the crowd and
do what it takes to achieve their dream? Are they willing
to go through the inevitable ups and downs?

Over the years I've had the opportunity to work with some
pretty incredible people. Folks who have achieved more than
most could only dream of. Individuals who others will look
at and think, 'I would be willing to do anything to achieve
that level of success.'

Sadly, that is about as far as many people get with their
desire to accomplish what they want out of life. They talk
about it, but don't do what is necessary to achieve it. I'm
not referring simply to monetary success. I am referring to
contribution to community, personal success, physical
success, or virtually anything that would signify a
complete life.

In last month’s column I mentioned the book I am
co-authoring. Why Be Different? Success Secrets for Selling
the Unsellable is a book about how one can set themselves
apart from the competition in such a way that they
literally become leaders in their industry. Much of the
book will be based on interviews conducted with people from
a variety of industries such as real estate, healthcare,
accounting, hospitality and more. Being a leader doesn’t
necessarily mean you are the biggest. It means that you are
the one others look to when determining standards of
success within an industry.

As I have been gathering information, what I find
interesting is some of the similarities with the people we
are featuring in the book. Each person has been through
some incredible ups and downs on their road to success.
Each has gone through experiences that would make someone
else quickly throw in the towel. They didn’t let the
roadblocks stop them; they just kept moving forward in
order to reach their goals.

What I find most intriguing is their powerful belief in
having a vision of what is possible. All are also very
flexible in their approach to life. They knew what they
wanted to achieve and if one thing didn’t work they tried
something else. If that didn’t work, they tried yet
something else. They kept at it until they achieved their
goals. The words "no" and "can't" are almost nonexistent in
their vocabulary.

Also evident is their generosity to their community and
their clients. Rather than putting a price tag on
everything, they often make contributions without expecting
anything in return. They do it because it makes others feel
good and it is simply the right thing to do.

With each person, a love of what they are doing is
essential. Although they work very hard, they have such an
incredible passion for what they are doing that when the
tough times hit, they are virtually unstoppable. People who
are not incredibly passionate about what they are doing
give up when they are presented with roadblocks to their
success.

Don't just be another person saying, "I'd do anything
to..." Keep your vision, your passion and jump over your
roadblocks.

The Hawk and the Dove -- Great Leadership Skills

Many of us have an inclination to put layers of comfort
between ourselves and everyone out there in e-town. Like a
bird builds a nest with comfortable layers of feathers.
tree fluffies and twigs, we build our own e-space with
things that give us a calmness and level of comfort.

Is this harmony always possible? No, it isn't.

It can be reached through compassionate and qualfied
leadership. How do YOU stand out in this e-crowd? Of
course, we know we can't have it all....all the time.
That's why we need a keen appreciation of what a good
leader can do to provide balance along combined success
journeys. Awareness of the "whole" can give us all a surge
of personal and group power....this is what good leadership
should hand us.

I don't know who said this besides my own wise grandmother,
but I think the old saying goes... "Fool me once, shame on
you. Fool me for years, then it's shame on me."

"In the end, you're measured not by how much you undertake
but by what you finally accomplish." -- Donald Trump, The
Art of the Deal

These are words to remember, especially if we call
ourselves leaders!

It's true that holding on to "second place" doesn't hold too
much weight in sports. Holding onto a Silver Medal in the
Olympics doesn't count much with most Olympic hopes and
dreams, does it?

Since no serious athlete tolerates unending hours of
practice, diet and preparation with visions of anything else
besides first place....they GO for The Gold. They want that
Home Run, World Series or Final Four applause that
accompanies being known as "THE" Best in the Universe, in
their field.

Daily preparation takes 4 YEARS and their workouts last
hours upon hours. We can relate to that daily grind if we
operate a serious e-business. It isn't easy to operate a
successful e-business and pull a profit out of it in a short
time frame. Don't you think they get tired? Maybe a BIG
slice of cake suits their taste buds but they skip it.

Is it easy to always do what you feel is right or do you
struggle for "first place" in doubt? It's understandable
that you have limits and restrictions. Think abut this; do
you really believe that you can become financially
independent wasting a lot of time? I hope not.

** Feature **

Want to learn a critical success skill?

Let´s discover the importance of balancing preparation,
timing and momentum.

While timing is important very often we need to make the
best of the situation we find ourselves in. The perfect
opportunity, the perfect conditions and the perfect moment
may never exist so we need to take action now.

The most successful people in the world approach life with
a very dynamic attitude - they create their world making
use of the resources available to them. They do not waste
time waiting for the perfect moment.

A similar and related fallacy is waiting until you are
ready. The truth is you will never be 100% ready for new
challenges.

At some point you have to trust in yourself and give it
your very best regardless of the results. As long as you are
always learning and growing you will get there in the end.

And you´ll reach the finish line before those people still
sitting there waiting for the perfect day when they will be
completely ready.

Some days you might argue that you don't feel up to it or
that you need more energy before you can get stuck in. Be
honest with yourself! Are you making 13 excuses? Are you
waiting for the perfect day?

You will never be completely ready physically, emotionally
and mentally all at the same time.

As one of my mentors once said to me, "if you wait until
you are ready it'll be too late."

You are a unique work in progress; you are always changing
and always maturing. You will always have more to learn and
you will always be able to look back and notice how you
could have been better.

That is just the way it is!

If you wait too long any enthusiasm you once had for your
goals will fizzle away. You will do nothing at all.

To sum up...

Make sure your preparation is adequate for the activities
ahead and then dive in and give it everything you have.
Then keep moving and let the momentum carry you along.

Your greatest successes will be based on your sustained
motivation over the long term. Make sure you get moving now
instead of waiting for the perfect day!

produced a very popular free report that reveals how to
crush procrastination and sustain lasting motivation.

** Marketing Tip **

From http://kathleengage.com (newsletter)

You will gain far more success when you are clear on who
your market is and what your specialty is. Often people
want to be all things to all people. Start by offering
solutions to one or two problems your niche clients have.
You will achieve more than if you try to solve so many
problems for so many different types of people that you
become the problem rather than the solution.
