Wake UP to Success -- FREE - Freedom and Free Enterprise

Do you realize how unapologetically right it is for someone to want to be wealthy?

Despite some of the conditions we may have grown up with…
We all have these conditionings and dominantly the mass consciousness is that it’s more spiritual to be poor…if you’re wealthy, then you have your priorities out of whack.
And again - it is unapologetically right for someone to want to be wealthy, because your wealth is a direct measurement of the level of service you’re providing to others.
If you’re earning your money because of service, then you should want to be a billionaire, because that means you’re serving a lot of people in a grand way.

Let’s touch on how Free Enterprise works in terms of how people get more use value from something that maybe we receive from cash value and that’s how it’s suppose to work.

In my previous posting we touched on how we came to be in a position that most Americans are not involved in free enterprise and their emotionally disconnected from a lot of what’s going on around them, so the average person today has basically chosen to give up the ability to be involved in free enterprise and be employed. So their selling their time in eight hour chunks, giving away the best part of their day, their energy and emotion in exchange for a wage and that is time that they are not able to invest in relationships or connected with their families or even their physical lives to exercise, read and develop their intellectual pursuit; which all requires that a person has a reason amount of time that was sold to an employer.

(Don’t get me wrong employers are good guys, they’re the ones that are willing to take the risk and get involved in free enterprise and provide a service or a product that has real value to the end consumer, and he’s actually the hero. This is not about good, bad, or wrong, right, it’s about two people that made two different choices. One engaged in free enterprise and has complete control of his earning abilities and the other person who chose to be an employee is in a situation where he doesn’t really have any control on how much he earns and only has a certain amount of time that he could trade for dollars.)

Here’s the point, we can simply choose to do something today to make money, that’s free enterprise. Profits are better then wages.

Liberty League is engaged in the purest form of free enterprise on the planet, it’s a basic retail direct sale with a built in referral system that provides a massive amount of leverage.

Free enterprise is wonderful because it’s based on a volunteer exchange of value. Why does anyone buy anything? Because someone wants something more then they want the money in their pocket that it takes to own it. It’s a free exchange between two people. Why does someone drive a Bentley?; or Who in the world would pay $300 for a pen?; or $40K for a wedding celebration or maybe even a unique collector’s item or a hot item like the newest Apple iPhone where someone really wants the phone and is willing to pay $1K for it on ebay and because it’s a voluntary exchange of value, it’s a completely valid transaction and they absolutely deserve the $1K for the sale of the phone and the other person will be completely happy that he owns one of the hottest phones on the market that’s hard to just go into a store and buy.

There’s an unlimited amount of money in this world and when you really learn how to manifest money into your life and do it with ease and some free flowing attitude you almost feel as if it’s unfair where all you’re doing is giving someone paper in exchange for what you want, it feels unfair because you can always generate more paper. I can go manifest thousands and thousands of dollars because of being someone being involved in free enterprise, so it’s exciting to buy what you want in exchange for paper and when you’re involved with free enterprise it’s like you own the printing press. So here at LLI and free enterprise it’s a way of getting into that flow where there’s no limit.

FREE ENTERPRISE IS ABOUT GIVING AND RECEIVING VALUE!

AND THE BEST PART OF IT IS……IN LIBERTY LEAGUE FREE ENTERPRISE...OUR ROLE HERE IS JUST SIMPLY BEING AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT IS POSSIBLE; IT’S PART OF THE VALUE THAT LLI OFFERS WITH THE PRODUCT AND THE SUPPORT AND THE COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE THAT ARE ON THE SAME PATH AND THAT’S ALL PART OF THE EXCHANGE IN VALUE THAT WE’RE OFFERING HERE AT LIBERTY LEAGUE.

MY RESPONSIBILITY IS TO BE SUCCESS FIRST, TO BE AN EXAMPLE TODAY OF WHAT’S POSSIBLE WHEN SOMEONE CHOOSES TO PLAY BIG IN LIFE AND FOLLOW A PROVEN SYSTEM.

LIBERTY LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL IS A LEADERSHIP FACTORY DEMONSTATED AS A BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY. I WAS ATTRACTED FOR THE MONEY, BUT THE REAL VALUE IS WHO YOU BECOME IN THE JOURNEY.

Freedom and Free Enterprise

Liberty League International is in the business of creating Freedom with the most powerful form of free enterprise on the planet.

We live in a country in which we are afforded certain liberties just by right of being a citizen; for example, the average American has a great deal of political freedom (generally speaking as long as you’re not imposing on the rights of others); but time and financial freedom are not something that most Americans can enjoy. And because of the two dominate issues (lack of time and financial freedom), most people also have very little emotional and spiritual freedom; the time to be able to really engage in the things that make a person feel complete as a human being.

We all know the routine well:

  • a man and women wake up in the morning, kisses someone good-bye, puts the kids in the back seat, then puts them in the arms of strangers or day care, then they go to a job where they’re selling their time and productivity to somebody else at whole sale prices, then pick up the kids, go to the drive through and pick up a bucket of fast food, everyone eats and after watching a couple of hours of television, everyone goes to sleep to get up and do it all over again the next day.

That’s the lives of many many many people.

  • There’s a Dad right now sitting somewhere thinking about how his little girl just graduated high school and is going to college shortly and he spent the best years of her life absence, having to work long hours so she could have what she needed. And yes he did it and deserves a pat on the back for doing what he had to do to help his family survive, but here’s the thing…..emotionally at what cost? Would he give anything to have those years back? There are plenty of single moms that are working two jobs to come up for extra cash to pay for necessities.

You can bear witness to the lack of time and financial freedom anywhere you go. And the two combined has created an even bigger problem, which is the emotional cost of not being connected to the people we love.

  • There’s a Dad out there trying to figure out how he’s going to pay for his daughters wedding and the only option he has is to go out and take a loan to pay for his daughters wedding.

And most of these emotional problems (lack of freedom and split emotional families) are connected to how the people in our society have chosen to make money.

  • In 1931, a young college student from Britain came to the United States on a traveling scholarship and was shocked and amazed that in the land of so much opportunity so many Americans wanted to work for companies instead of working for themselves. So when he returned to England he wrote a paper on “Why in a free enterprise economy would a worker voluntarily submit to direction by a corporation instead of selling his or her own output or service directly to a consumer in the marketplace.” That student was Ronald Coase, 1991 Nobel Laureate in Economics

A man received a Nobel Prize for asking the same question we’ve all asked ourselves - “Why on earth would I want to work for someone else?”

JOB ??? who wants a job? It’s probably the worse way to make a living. Could you make more money if you did something on your own?

Did you know the word “job” did not mean what it means today?

  • A hundred years ago a blacksmith would go out and get jobs...….Farmer Brown wants me to shoe his horse and Farmer Green wants me to make him some axes.

A job was something a self employed person would do. Then the industrial revolution/assembly line came along and companies started coming to people saying to them:

  • “If you’ll come down to our factory and punch this clock we’ll give you regularity of pay and you won’t have to worry about the weeks when Farmer Brown doesn’t need you to shoe his horse. You don’t have to do anything but show up and do what we tell you and we’ll give you a raise every now and then and we’ll make sure that your family is provided for because we’re going to give you a job."

And that’s where the word “job” shifted in meaning. And just like that the citizen gave away all his earning power by choosing to let someone else tell him what his time and productivity was worth.

It worked for a long while, companies flourished and people were happy, but not any more, that system hasn’t worked in 40 years. The idea, that a company is responsible for giving an employee lifetime employment, is a financial fairytale. That hasn’t worked since the 1950’s and the problem is that most people growing up today are basically taking financial advice from their parents who grew up in a totally different economy then we do today. So it’s amazing on how many people still buy into the idea that the secret to financial success is to go to college, get your degree and get a job at a big company and retire with a pension.

You and I both know that’s not happening, but I shared it with you so you know the difference where the American citizen basically traded their earning power for a bowl of company portage and why the word job is going extinct. Because people who are savvy, people who understand how money works are going back to where we were a hundred years ago, saying “hey let me be responsible for my own earnings.” “I don’t want anyone telling me how much money I could make.”

So this is the DEAL…..Free Enterprise is where it’s at!!
Profits are better then Wages

CONGRATULATIONS TO THOSE INVOLVED IN FREE ENTERPRISE

Profits are the money that you can earn by providing service to others.


And that’s what we’re about here at Liberty League, the service we provide is:
- an incredible product that is worth far more then it’s price tag
- the leadership we offer
- and the community to plug into

When people chose to commit to the product and be involved with the community it’s the greatest value that they will ever have in any other area of their life.

It’s the business that will let the single mom breathe easy, and be home with her child(ren) when the school bus drops off the kids. It’s the kind of business that will allow a broke piano player/assistant manager for a retail store to come in and make more in a month then they did in a year.

YES, Free Enterprise is where it’s at!! And underneath all the money is the FREEDOM…..the ability to finally have enough money flowing in your life so you can do whatever you want to do, when you want to do it with the people you’re in love with.

That’s what freedom is, that’s what I’m about and that’s what Liberty League is all about; providing people the opportunity to create freedom through free enterprise.

Abraham-Hicks Rampage of Wellbeing - Awakening - Enlightenment

Be Inspired!!


The Seven Critical Traits of Top Entrepreneurs

1. Have passion - Mr. Trump has never said to me, “Be passionate!” Yet it’s at the core or his thinking. Exactly what is passion? He summarizes it as, “Enthusiasm on a big scale.”

2. Be tenacious-Mr. Trump is not someone who lets me, or anyone in his organization, give up on any project until every possibility of success has been explored. Consider the fact that he bought the land for Trump Place in Manhattan way back in 1974 - and it is now nearing completion. That’s tenacity.

3. Think big - We all have to start with small steps on any project, but Mr. Trump urges people to take the biggest steps they are capable of. “Thinking big can get you to the top,” he once said, “and I can tell you, it’s not lonely up here!”

4. Be a sponge for new information and ideas - There’s really no such thing as knowing too much about what you’re doing. Despite his packed schedule, Mr. Trump reads everything he can and strives to get information he can use from everyone he meets. There’s often a book on his desk, and I find that inspiring.

5. Take action - When you know need what you need to know about a project or idea, you need to move decisively. Yet Mr. Trump also has a flexible philosophy and he’s willing to take a step back and start again - tenaciously - if the time is not right to move forward. So it is a matter of taking risks, but considered risks. Mr. Trump once said, “A lot of people are afraid to fail, so they don’t try. They talk, but they don’t do. That’s the perfect formula for failure.”

6. Learn to negotiate - “Learning to negotiate is invaluable if you hope to connect in any way with other people.”

7. Enjoy competition - Your competitors are there to help you perform better in the world and - certainly - achieve more success than they have. “Competition forces me to outdo myself,” Mr. Trump has said. “I love competition because, ultimately, it makes me bigger.”

To those of you who are in the United States, I wish you a happy Fourth of July holiday. America is great place to launch a great business. And to our foreign readers, all good wishes for every success. I believe the seven traits I outline above can offer you a blueprint for winning.

Abraham-Hicks Daily Quotes



The ability to imagine what you are wanting, rather than only observing what-is, is what takes you beyond. You are a physical being, but you are much more.

Wake UP to Success - 3 P's to Success -- Purpose, Passion Practice

Purpose

You have to have purpose before anything else falls into place.
If you don’t have guidance you’re like bouncing off the walls.
Life without purpose is like a “hamster in a ball”, bouncing all over the place, thinking you getting somewhere, but remaining in the same place.
There’s no deliberation in what you’re doing.

“The Way of the Peaceful Warrior” is a great example taking someone’s life and finding their true potential, who they are and what they want in life.
In the book, this guy was living real scattered in his life, then to realize there are three types of people in this world:
The person who makes it happen;
The other person who watches it happen;
And the person who wonders how it happens.
I used to live my life working for corporate America and just going through the motions and making it happen for someone else and wondering what was going on in my life; not very focused at all, just living my life. Then I aligned myself with Liberty League and now I wake up excited about what I’m going to create for the day. Not like I used to where it was wake up and okay….cruise through my day and go through the motions, with no guidance or purpose as to why I was there. Getting involved with Liberty League has helped me get clear with why I’m here and what I want for myself.

It’s very exciting when passion and purpose come together; it’s like that burning excitement for life. You the read cannot understand until you experience it for yourself. And an INCREDIBLE feeling it is.

It all starts with you and starting that first step into your journey and when you know what your purpose is, it only takes that first step to keep going.

Steven Spielberg’s movie - Joe vs. the Volcano:
Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan are floating on a boat and Meg says “My father once told me that almost the whole world is completely asleep, but the very few that choose to be awake live in a complete and total state of amazement.”

Wake UP to Success -- 3 P’s of Success - Purpose, Passion, Practice

Passion

Passion is a natural choice and what occupies your attention.
Passion drives itself.
For instance, personal development and say goal cards are a tool designed to help you reconnect with what you used to do naturally; reminders to get connected to what you want, taking your eye off the drama and mundane stuff and get connected to what’s really important to you.

Getting clear on your goals brings you clarity and awareness and is incredibly important part of “stirring-up” your passion. The natural enthusiasms that we were born with and somewhere along the way have lost touch.

If you’re not passionate about what you’re doing – LOVE what doing and PASSIONATE about what you’re doing – you won’t succeed.

First you get clear on your purpose and passion is that natural innate enthusiasm that we all have when we’re clear on our purpose.

So go ahead and design you perfect day....AND GET PASSIONATE!

Wake UP to Success -- 3 P's to Success - Purpose Passion, Practice

Some people have greatness thrust upon them….Few have excellence thrust upon them….they achieve it.
They do not achieve it unwittingly by doing what comes naturally and they don’t stumble into it in the course of amusing themselves.
All excellence involves discipline and tenacity of purpose – John William Gardner


Practice
Practicing your craft – doing the thing….being engaged in the actual nuts and bolts that creates results.
Think Capitalism – Free Enterprise – Engaging in a business where you’re giving someone far more in value, then you receive in compensation.

Personal Development in its self is all about awareness, clarity, discovering who you are and your personal power. Practicing is getting engaged in the process that allows you to generate an income -- Linking the income producing activity.

A mason complaining about his boss……
….. “I make $18.00 per hour and I saw my boss hand someone a bid for a job and on that bid the hourly rate was $50.00 per hour.”
The mason was upset that his boss was making $32.00 per hour while he was only making $18.00 per hour for the work he was doing. He was irritated and grumbling about the fact that he was only one of the 40 masons his boss was working with.

Yes, it’s irritating, but it’s called leverage and at the end of the day the bottom line is the employer deserves to charge $50.00 per hour and make $32.00 per hour for the job where the employee only makes $18.00 per hour, because the employer is the one who invested in the company and willing to take the risks. The employer is the one who gets up every single day and with discipline moves forward in his business, making sure he’s connecting with his customers and making sure his customers are getting what they deserve.
The employer is delivering and the employee is the one willing to pack his lunch, drive to the site and work for the employer so that the employer can make more money then the employee.

So the decision is:

Are you the one who’s going to take the risk and invest in yourself?

If not, then stay an employee and be happy about it.

Or, take advantage of the leverage and be the business owner.

IT’S ALL A CHOICE


“I had already proven that I was willing to pay the price, I was just paying the wrong price”

We’re all willing to put the time and effort into something. Are you doing it in a certain way or the right activity?

Have Purpose and Passion and then Practice



I’m a single mom determined to pave my own way and provide my son the lifestyle he deserves. I had the fortitude to believe in myself and take the risk.
The one thing, which I knew then and know now, for certain was that I was the person that could get the job done, show up everyday, forge forward and take the action.

I structure my time – practice makes perfect.

Wake UP to Success -- Purpose Passion Practice

Purpose - Willingness to move forward
Purpose is the desire to create an ideal lifestyle for ourselves and our families.
We at Liberty League empower others; we offer an incredible product that is worth for more that its price tag. We benefit tremendously from pointing people to their ideal lifestyle, but ultimately our purpose is to be successful first.
That's my biggest responsibility to me, my family and the community of people I associate with here at Liberty League. By being true to my purpose I lead by example and so does everyone else here at LLI. The purpose is to discover how powerful and capable I am in creating the life that I desire. Living deliberately and on purpose.

Passion – is what moves us; drives us and will take us wherever we want to go.
Passion is the emotional reward in choosing to be the leader. Purpose is the desire and Passion is the pay off of actually living the life I desire.
The emotional payoff that will drive you to get up the next morning and continue to take the steps to reach your goals. It’s powerful to know that you’re doing what you’re suppose to be doing and your thoughts and actions are in alignment.
There is nothing that substitutes the power of the passionate person.
Being a passionate person is a choice and it’s an action you can actually choose.

Practice – life is not a dress rehearsal and everything we do matters.
The choice to be engaged in “the thing” that gets the results -- Taking the action that brings you closer to your purpose.

The Connection:
You can’t get into practice if you don’t have passion and you can’t be passionate if you don’t have the purpose.

Change How You Feel

Being able to manage and change your feelings is one of the most important things in personal development.

You might have all the logical and rational reasons in the world to do something, but then your emotions can just sweep in and pull everything to a grinding halt. Having your feelings for work you instead of against you can have a massive effect on your life.

There are many ways to change how you feel. Here are 10 ways that don’t include chocolate, pain or alcohol and that actually work.

All of them might not work right away, it’s a bit like learning to ride a bike. You don’t learn it by reading about it and the first times you try you might fall. But remember when you were a kid learning to ride a bike. You just got up of the ground, brushed yourself of and got on that bike again and again and again.

1. Relax
This one is easy but just remembering that you can relax when you feel all tensed up can work wonders. You might realise that much of that tension was something you just built up in your own mind.

In “A guide to the the Huna way – mastering your hidden self” King Serge Kahili writes this about effort and relaxation:

”When people are trying to change a habit of thought or behaviour, they often complain that it takes too much effort. Others may criticize them for not having a strong enough will. What actually happens is that such people are trying to force a habit to change by using their muscles against it, and this is true whether the habit is physical or mental.

This kind of forceful attempt creates tension that locks up the body’s energy and makes people feel worn out. They end up literally fighting themselves, which is rarely effective. All you really have to do is make your decision by your will, relax your muscles, and direct your attention in the way you want to go, until the new habit is established. If you ever feel that using your will is an effort relax and Start over.”

2. Ask different questions
We are always asking ourselves questions, but they might be questions that aren’t really that good. Instead of asking yourself: “why must I do this?”, ask yourself “how can I make this more fun for me?” or “how can this help me?”. Don’t ask yourself “will I be able to do this?”, instead ask “how will I do this?”.

Ask better questions that empowers you.

Questions that presupposes that you have the power over your own life.

Questions that directs your focus to solutions and opens your mind to new possibilities instead of questions that just makes you feel trapped and lousy.

3. Smile
Smiling gives you a boost of happiness. Try forcing yourself to smile for thirty seconds right now. The great feelings that make you smile works in reverse too. By making yourself smile, no matter how you feel, your body will start releasing all those wonderful chemicals that makes you feel happy. Try it right now and feel the difference.

4. Appreciate things
This is one of the most simple and effective ways to just feel so much better. Just look around yourself. Appreciate the good food you’re eating, the hot woman or man walking past you, the kids playing and just having fun in the mud puddles, all the possibilities in your life, all the great things about your friends and your family, the birds singing… Ok, so perhaps it sounds a bit corny.

But it really works. And it’s great to try to change your mindset to one where you appreciate the things in your everyday life instead of taking them for granted.

5. Interrupt your thought pattern
You might be feeling down or you are procrastinating. Maybe nothing is working out for you today. You just want to go home and go to bed. Here’s where you might want to interrupt your thought pattern. And you do that simply by doing something unexpected and totally different from what you are doing now.

Some suggestions; take a glass of water, throw it in own your face. Or jump up and down ten times singing the chorus from “We are the champions” by Queen at the top of you lungs. Or imagine your negative inner voice sounding like Goofy. Do something that totally breaks your thought pattern. Something humours is nice because it’s often the opposite to a depressed or anxious state that you would like to break out of. And laughter and smiles breaks tension too.

When you have done that you might not be able to able to find your way back to that previous train of thought. Much like when you have a conversation, someone comes up to you and asks a question and then when you turn around again back to you friend you can’t remember what the two of you were talking about. You feel confused and your state has changed. Make up five things to do that really breaks your pattern and try them out. You may also want to try and find a couple that you can do among other people too without being labelled as crazy.

6. Use an external stateboost
On one of his audiotapes Tony Robbins mentions that before one of his guest-speakers or coaches goes up on stage they watch videos with Eddie Murphy. It puts them in a great state before performing. As you might have guessed, that tape wasn’t recorded this year or even this century. Eddie’s been in a slump for a while.

This is a great idea and you probably already using it to some degree. Anyways, here are some suggestions. Change and boost your emotional state with some of your favourite music, maybe a couple of YouTube-clips, an episode of the Simpsons (or your favourite sitcom), personal development-cds, -books or –websites. Or perhaps Eddie Murphy’s “Delirious” or “Raw”. That’s some side-splittingly funny stand-up.

7. Eat. But not too much. Or too little
If you feel tired and frustrated maybe you just need to eat to get your energy back and your blood sugar up to a more healthy level. But don’t eat too much or you’ll feel tired and lazy. Don’t eat to little either or pretty soon you’ll feel just as bad as you did before you ate. Also, it you’re sitting most of the day, take it a bit easy on the carbs and the size of your portions. You may have been raised to eat large and healthy meals, but maybe your father and mother had more physical jobs…

8. Create a physical anchor
Ok, this one might take a while but it seems to work for many people. Basically you stand up, close your eyes and imagine an emotional state that you want to able to snap into on command. As an example I imagined a time when I felt really powerful and confident. I stood, I breathed and I moved the way I did that one time. Then while I was back in that state both physically and mentally I snapped the fingers of my right hand. Over and over. Over and over and over again. The theory is that you link up that emotion with the physical act of snapping your fingers.

Did it work? Yeah, actually it kinda does. When I snap my fingers I get an emotional boost and go into that state again. However, the effect is not 100%. It doesn’t feel as good as it did that one time. But it’s my first anchor and by practicing more, I think especially by trying to visualize and feel that state even more intensely, the anchors are likely to become more and more accurate.

Anchoring is based on Ivan Pavlov and his experiments with dogs and bells but has been developed by people in the field of NLP (neurolinguistic programming).

9. Open yourself up to other possibilities that are more beneficial to you
Have some faith that the way you view work, relationships, money, exercise, life and those other things are not the only way to see them. Having the feeling that you are right about something and “know how things work” can feel really good. It’s instant gratification and gives you security and comfort.

But it also limits you by closing your mind to other avenues of thought and personal development. Seek out a couple of experts’ advice in the area that you are having problems with. Use google and amazon, just dive in to the subject for a while to get a basic understanding. Most likely there are things you can do both to remedy the problem and to change you perspective on this trouble area. There are often more solutions than one or two to a problem.

10. Recall your positive experiences and memories
It’s easy to be overcome by negative internal chatter. “I can´t do this, what if they think I´m incompetent, God I´m gonna fail, I´m gonna fail and this why did I take this shirt, it’s so ugly”. And so on.

When preparing for a meeting, a job interview, a presentation, asking someone for a date or anything that makes you really nervous recall your positive memories from similar experiences. Think back to when you were funny and charming in the bar. Remember the times when you were confident and relaxed during previous meetings and interviews. Let a few of your best memories wash over you. Let them drown out your negative thoughts.

This will make you remember the positive and wonderful sides of yourself. The qualities and your inner possibilities that are always there but we often forget about them when we get caught up in a cloud of negative thoughts and feelings. Focusing on these positive experiences instead of those negative ones that always seem to be closer at hand can make a big difference.

Learning to direct you feelings more and more have implications beyond feeling better. By feeling better you will more constantly start to see the world in another way and you will start to see other, more beneficial options. And your feelings will start to work for you instead of stopping you when you want to take action.

And try to use these suggestions from the perspective of yourself when you were a kid trying to learn to ride that bike. If at first you don’t succeed, dust yourself of and try again.

Focus Your Marketing

Your home-based business can produce steady income for you and your family if you follow a few simple rules.Focus on people's needs, make it easy for people to make purchases or join your group, answer questions fully, and provide excellent customer service.This, combined with a well thought out Internet marketing plan, will ensure you a successful home business experience.Whether you develop your own specialized plan or follow guidelines created and tested by others (see link below), Internet marketing can be very rewarding if you create a sensible plan and implement it wisely.

What is the most important considerations for you in a home based business opportunity? It's Multiple Streams of Internet Income. Do you want to make money online and become an Internet marketing experts? Then diversification in online home based business is a good thing to consider. Making tons of money in a home based business is not the only reason record numbers of people are starting home based Internet businesses.

Before you begin advertising your Internet marketing business either online or offline, there is a general rule of thumb: identify your target audience.For example, if your home based business is promoting denture creams and related products, your target audience would not be teenagers, nor would the mature audience likely be interested in skateboards.It is important to channel your advertisements to those who will be interested in your products to avoid investing your efforts and/or money needlessly.

Wake UP to Success -- Claiming Ownership of Your Business and Taking Action II

The real “bottom line” demarcation between success and not success with any entrepreneurial/self reliant type of opportunity is – the level of motivation.

Now this is the interesting part…..motivation is not something you can buy or get from someone else. Motivation is internal and it comes from knowing that your goal is a possibility. Knowing why you want to be successful with your business, the burning desires/reasons.

What I did to take action and ownership of my business, was to first figure out my goal, my WHY and I wrote it down in detail
Getting clear with “a real possibility in my life” translates into motivation and taking the action.

Keep the reward in mind and at hand at all times and you’ll be destin to realize your result and greatness.

Motivate yourself, take the action and realize the result.

Build Buzz With Video




While we're talking e-business trends, let's take a look at video, which has gone through rapid and massive growth this past year. Free hosting by sites like YouTube, plus the availability of digital video recorders on cameras and mobile phones, enable literally anyone to create their own videos.

So far, one of the most successful applications of video-to-internet marketing has been to offer quality educational content for free (with or without an opt-in), and position it as a limited-time offer. Viewers watch the video, such as the first part of a ten-part course, and then pass it on to other potential customers. The more people who see it and recognize the value for their own life or business, the more they’ll take the next step and go to your website to get the next installment.

How-to videos uploaded to video-sharing sites can also draw targeted audiences. I just spotted one recently: “How to Fold a Fitted Sheet.” Don’t you think an online bedding store should’ve done that first?

Free Audio


"There is a secret psychology to money," says T. Harv Eker, internationally known speaker and author of 11 top-selling books and courses, "Most people don't know about it, that's why most people never reach their financial potential."

Eker explains, "Your outer world is simply a reflection of your inner world! A lack of money is not a problem, it is merely a symptom of what's going on underneath! The fastest and only way to permanently change your financial situation on the outside, is to first change it on the inside." Eker should know, using this strategy he went from zero to millionaire in only 2 1/2 years!

Here's just a portion of what you'll learn!

1.The 5 critical ways rich people think differently than the poor & middle class.
2.The hidden cause of almost all financial problems.
3.How your childhood conditioning is affecting you financially today.
4.Why knowledge & skill do not create wealth.
5.How to attract so-called "luck" with money and success.
6How to train your "mind" to work for you instead of against you.

"Money miracles can occur when we get out of our own way," says Eker. "The problem is, by ourselves, we can never see what's holding us back from reaching our full potential. Einstein said it best, "you can't solve a problem with the same mind that created it." The information in this course is extremely powerful! If you learn the strategies and use them, your financial life will change forever."

10 Marketing Trends to Watch in 2007

By Kim T. Gordon

Throughout 2006, I've been watching and interpreting the marketing stats and studies that impact small businesses to give you tips on staying one step ahead. Now, with 2007 fast approaching, let's look at a roundup of the hottest trends, from changes taking place among consumer audiences through what to watch for in traditional and online marketing. Here's the info you need on the most important trends and how to make the most of them to increase sales and grow your business in the New Year.

Consumer Trends

1. College Grads
If you're searching for the most effective way to reach this desirable prospect group, move your marketing dollars into online media. The internet is now the primary source of media and entertainment among college grads, whose top planned purchases upon graduation are professional clothing, travel/airline tickets, health insurance and furniture according to the “Y2M: eGrad College Graduate Survey”. Nearly 80 percent of respondents are online purchasers, making them ideal candidates for your online campaign

2. Affluent Working Women
The big news is that this group is increasing in size, and the best way to reach them may be online. According to The Media Audit, affluent working women with family incomes of $75,000 or more are growing in number, and 94.3 percent access the internet during an average month. About half are now considered heavy users of the internet, while heavy use of radio, television, newspapers and direct mail has all declined within this group. To increase sales from this expanding audience, alter your media spending to place greater emphasis online.

3. Asian Population Growth
The southern region of the U.S. boasts the fastest Asian population growth rate (31 percent), followed by the Midwest (24 percent), the Northeast (23 percent) and the West (19 percent), according to an analysis of Census Bureau data in the “American Community Survey” by Kang & Lee Advertising. Asians represent a prospect group with higher than average household incomes and education levels. Can you offer a product or service that will appeal to this growing market?

4. Word-Of-Mouth
Want to build buzz? Lucid Marketing's study, "U.S. Adults: Word of Mouth Communications," found that women were more likely than men to share a positive experience with a business or recommend an enjoyable product; full-time employees made substantially more daily contacts than those not in the workforce; and people with household earnings of more than $100,000 were more likely to make recommendations than those earning less. So buzz marketers should direct efforts to these three "chatty" groups.

Trends in Traditional Media

5. Yellow Pages
According to a study from the Kelsey group, marketers targeting younger demographics should transition away from print. Only 28 percent of teens said they would turn to print Yellow Pages first to find a local business, product, or service, while 47 percent said their first choice would be search engines. And just 44 percent of respondents between the ages and 18 and 34 favored print Yellow Pages.

6. Simultaneous Media Usage
There's no longer such a thing as a captive media audience--consumers are frequently participating in more than one form of media at any one time. Seventy percent of web users, for instance, watch TV occasionally to regularly while online, according to BIGresearch’s “Simultaneous Media Survey.” It also found that nearly 65 percent watch TV while they read, and 51 percent of radio listeners read the newspaper while listening. The rise in multitasking among consumers mandates an integrated media approach and an increased emphasis on advertising within the most relevant and engaging content.

7. Newspapers
This past year, many of the websites of major newspapers have become the number-one portals in their geographic markets and are drawing a larger, younger and more affluent readership. The audience that reads a newspaper’s website but not its print version accounts for 2 to 15 percent of the Integrated Newspaper Audience, according to Scarborough Research, and that represents hundreds of thousands of readers for many newspapers in larger markets. They’re successfully attracting 18-to-34-year-olds to their sites, and the online readers are more upscale, which can make them a more desirable audience. If you're an advertiser in the "print" newspaper, you can negotiate for a combo rate to run online as well to reach these additional readers. And if advertising in the print newspaper is too expensive for your business, you may find more affordable rates online by drilling down past the main pages to place ads on content-rich, but less frequently visited web pages.

Hot Online Trends

8. Web Conferencing
As business travel becomes increasingly challenging due to increased security, advance check-in times and transportation delays, online workshops and meetings that require no travel are coming to the forefront. It’s more desirable than ever to demo your new product to a group or make a sales presentation without anyone ever leaving home. Participants can watch your presentation on their computer monitors and hear you live on their computer speakers or by phone. In fact, I'm now transitioning to this technology to deliver webinars, and you can, too.

9. Online Research
Whether you sell exclusively online or primarily through a brick-and-mortar site, online search will have a profound impact on your sales in 2007. When asked how often they researched products online before buying them in person or in a store, 87 percent of nearly 7,500 respondents to a BIGresearch “Consumer Intentions and Actions Survey” said they did so occasionally to regularly. And a comScore research study showed that 63 percent of searchers completed a purchase in offline retail stores following their search activity. So no matter whether you sell online, off-line or both, you need a great website with deep, persuasive content that keeps your prospects and customers shopping on your site or sends them to your store.

10. Local Search
Want to know where to invest your online marketing dollars in 2007? Aim for higher rankings in the top search engines. Sixty-two percent of searchers click on a link within the first page of results, according to a report from iProspect and Jupiter Research. To win higher rankings in natural search results, you can optimize your site by sprinkling the keyword phrases your best prospects will be searching for throughout all the pages of your site, in your page descriptions and in metatags. You should also secure links to your site from other high-ranking websites. But to guarantee you'll turn up in the top search results, invest in a paid search campaign. Local search campaigns are often the most affordable and will bring traffic from your immediate market area in the New Year.

Work From Home Tips

When you are working online, you must create a system and work that system. Why a system?

A system holds you accountable. A system allows you the opportunity to track and test and make adjustments. A system gives you the framework to share your success with others.

So once you have your system, are there a few tricks and tips and techniques that can help you go ‘over the top’? You bet there are!

Here are just a few:

1) Try tracking your sales rather than your opt-in rates. It is really easy to keep track of opt-in rates and use that as a gauge for the success of a traffic source. But if you track each sale back to the source, the sales might tell a different story.

2) Get more organized. Create a new folder on your desktop. ‘Online resources’ In that folder, have a collection of other folders, one for each type of product or tool or email you receive. It is too easy to save free gifts, tools, and quality emails for your swipe file, but when you are looking for them a month down the road, you have no idea how to find what you are looking for. You don’t remember the cryptic name you saved it under (as3rfgh56.xyz). You don’t remember which file your computer so helpfully suggested you place it in.

3) Send your email list a survey. What do they want you to write about? What products are they looking for? How can you better serve them?

4) Change up your signature on your email from time to time. Maybe you have a new web site or a new affiliate program most of those on your daily emailing list have not seen. After awhile, your same old signature becomes boring. Change it up!

5) Go back to the basics. When you hit a plateau, ask yourself what you did when you first started growing. You may think, but that was so amateur! But who cares, if it was creating growth. Do what works, not what everyone else thinks you should be doing.
