I was walking with a fien when she lookes at me and said, "How do you do it?" I looked at her with puzzlement on my face, which seemed to compel her to ask more directly, "How you can have time for 5 children, a husband and a full time?" My answer was, "Because I want to?"
See we choose our reaction to our surroundings. Instead of binging your morale down with "I have to....." attitude, we have to have "I want to......" attitude. Even the sound of it makes me depressed, "I have to....." Say it with me. Feel the emotion and the energy drain from those three little words. Those words put a wight on your heart. Can you feel it? If not, imagine something that has to get done by your standards and you are dreding doing it. Now say, "I have to...." and replace the dots with your dreded event.
Now let's change gears, say, "I choose to......" "I choose to go to work." "I choose to wash the dishes." "I choose to pick up the kids." Now experience what you feel when you say those sentences. Don't you feel more inclined o do the things you need to do. Actually telling yourself you choose to take on a particular project make you look at it in a different light. I choose to raise 5 children and work on the internet. I choose to homeschool. I choose to be a better person.
When we choose to do somethingwe actually trick our minds into thinking that this activity is a privilege and a blessing to take on. We can do that with our business. We can choose to be a better business person. We can choose to do anything we ant, because we are training our minds to see this as a privilage not a curse. We can look at our businesses in the same way. We can choose to add value to our business by seeking out those persons who add value to our business.
We have the power to choose who will associate with, who we learn from, and who we love. Choose to add value to your business from top marketers like Seth Godin, Jay Conrad Levison, and Joe Vitale. These men also choose to run their businesses with the idea of making those who work for them better people. Now we can learn directly from these guys. We can learn what they do to make their businesses successful. They are more than willing to tell us.
Here is what you do. Sign up for my free newsletter at the top corner of the page, get your free tickets, and join the team of those who CHOOSE to add value to their business by adding value to others.

Success Is Subject To Focus
Success Comes When We Set Our Mind In Advance.
All i takes is Focus. Concentrated, action. That is all success boils down to. Concentrated, focused action on the goals we have set for ourselves. We do this with life and business. Our lives are surrounded by goals. We set goals all day long. We dicide that we want breakfast in the morning. Then we take concentrated action making sure we get that breakfast. when we actually get to eat we have accomplish our goal. This may seem a little simplistic, and we may see how easy it actually is to fulfill our goals.
We start a business. We want a business where we can homeschool the choldren, be with our family more, or have more free time, not to mention more money. Whatever, we choose to set our mind on we will be led in that direction. Business..... Well, it's not going as planned..........Well, I have spent three months on this and still have not made my goal..... I am just going to back to my old job where the pay was horrible, and the boss hates me..... The list of depression gets bigger and bigger and bigger.....
How do we combat these self defeating statements before they begin? How do we focus on success and not give in to self defeating self talk. We choose to not dwell in negativitiy. Instead of "My business is failing!" We say, "How can I improve my business plan?" "Where could I change inorder to make this work better?" "Is there a part of my plan that is outdated or missing the mark?" "Where can I get help to make my plan succeed?" If business is not working out like you planned, it doesn't mean that you failed. It simply means that your plan to achieve your goal is lacking? Maybe you don't have the skill or the know how to make your plan work. Maybe your plan requires more time and energy than you have at this time. Maybe you need professional guidance to make it succeed. You could have the wrong plan for the right business.
There are lots of things that can challenge your goals. There are alot of ways to deal with those challenges. we need to concentrate more on what we want out of the situation at hand than the "Poo is me" thought patterns. Challenges are like years to fine wines, they make you better the more of them you have. If you want to look at them that way your mind will trat them that way. Have the mindset that you are improved by the challenges you overcome. Choose to learn from your setbacks and be flexible in your plans that you find the right fit for your organization.
Now to help you through the challenges you face in business I have a few suggestions listed below. If you see these and know that you possibly would not have the time or energy to implement these plans, i have a solution for that as well. I will take a look at your plans, make some reccommendations for a non refundable fee of $550. If you want me to implement those plans for you then we can talk. I chage anywhere from $1500 per month for simple plans to $25,000 per month for complicated plans. I only accept 15 businesses per month. so if you like what you see below and want to free yourself of the internet side of your business, then let me know. email me at theartofpresell@yahoo.com.

The Problem With Online Business Today
Forget the long sales letters, the squeeze pages, the massive amounts of newsletters that never get read. Forget all that junk that internet marketers try to lure you in with. Let's face it, people are here to make a living. I remember when the internet first hit the big time. that was the time where you could truly find FREE information. I remember doing reports and thesis papaers for school and my only resource was the internet. I got FREE QUALITY INFORMATION. that is jus not the case anymore.
I recently started a business, yes I am here to make money too, only to discover that the hype of money in thirty days was just going be that fast. I have to let you know a little dirty secret that many affiliates are going to be stark raving mad at me for. I call it the "30-day-blitz". This blitz is contrived from several things.
First, the idea is concieved. This takes anywhere from 3 months to a year of testing ideas, researching, planning, failing and doing it all over again.
Next, is the planning. Planning a business is a difficult task. I went into this business with a phone and borrowing someone's internet service. The planning of this "30-day-Blitz" takes longer than thirty days. It takes careful planning and orchestration. In writing the sales letters it sometimes takes months to get the perfect pitch.
Finally, comes the actual how I make $50,000 in thirty days. Between the lines you read "after two years of planning and positioning from the day I implemented my plan til I made $50,000 took 30 days". Now with that all out in the open, here is a plan that can get you on your feet with some breathing room in 90 days. Some can make 6 figure incomes in 90 days and some make only $550 their first month.
For me where I live in Texas, I can get by with $550 a month if I have food stamps. So for the sake of safety, I cannot support the crazy claims of 6 figure incomes by these crazy schemes of overnight success. There are a very few who can claim this gold medal. Not me. I have been successful theough hard dedicaed, focused work. The only way i could do it at all was through this Nitro Blueprint.

Search Engines BAN affiliate links!
From the Desk of Eric Owens
VP of Business Development - NameStick.com
VP of Business Development - NameStick.com
A question that I frequently hear from my clients is:
"Do I really need to have my own domain name to
get my distributor or affiliate link listed in the
Search Engines?"
The one word answer is 'YES.'. First, many search
engines are 'truncating' distributor & affiliate
links (reducing them to the basic link, which is
often the company website minus the your distributor
or affiliate code), or even worse...
search engines are banning affiliate links,
and blacklisting subdomains of the parent company
that contain certain obvious characters that
are not obviously part of the base site.
Second, a very common practice is for your visitors
to just 'cut off' or remove the affiliate code from
the end of your link and just go directly to the
parent company and 'bypass' your rightful commissions.
The parent company still gets the same number of
sales, but your commissions go untracked.
Fortunately, there is an easy way to overcome this.
NameStick.comHow to easily make every long, ugly affiliate or website link (that even your best friend wouldn't click on) "turn into" a short, easy to remember, search engine friendly domain name that attracts clicks like a 2-ton magnet!
As a network marketing distributor and affiliate,
there are a number of reasons why having your
own domain name is a must:
1) When you have your own domain name, the address
of your web site will be of the form
On the other hand, if your website is just a company
replicated website on one of the free servers,
the address of your web site will be something like
Which of these two sounds more professional?
Which of these two is smaller and is easier to remember?
Which of these two would you click on?
2) The only way to make money online is to build
up credibility with your prospects and customers.
Having your own domain name is the first step in
doing that. Your customers will feel more comfortable
buying whatever it is that you are selling if you
have your own domain name. It makes your customers
feel that they are dealing with a large,
established company, rather than with some
fly by night operator.
3) When you have your domain name, you can have
multiple email aliases of the form alias@yourcompany.com.
This allows you to assign different email aliases
to different functions, all of them pointing to
your actual email address. Hence, for example,
for questions related to the products and services
that you sell, you can have an email address like
sales@yourcompany.com. For questions related to the
newsletter that you publish, you can have an email
address like editor@yourcompany.com.
For comments/suggestions about your web site,
you can direct your customers to
feedback@yourcompany.com or webmaster@yourcompany.com.
Having different email addresses for different
functions not only makes it easier for you to
filter your email using your email client program
(Eudora Pro, Pegasus Mail, Outlook Express etc.),
but also gives your customers the impression that
yours is a large, established company with whom
it is safe to do business.
4) Many search engines give a lot of emphasis to
the home page of a particular domain.
So, other factors remaining the same, a home page
of a domain will often rank higher for a particular
keyword than any other page. When you submit your
long, obvious affiliate link, your index.html
page is the home page of your site, but not of
that domain. In these search engines, your site
will find it very difficult to make it to the
top 20 or top 30, let alone the top 10 for some
of the really competitive keywords. Just think of
the amount of traffic that you will lose if this
happens.
5) Many major search engines are now refusing
to spider the web sites that contain obvious
affiliate coding.
For instance, a link that includes these characters
backslashes, cgi-bin, and affiliate numbers or
usernames, would, until recently, have got the
infamous error message saying that too many pages
have been submitted from your site if you tried
to submit your site to AltaVista.
While AltaVista now says that 'your URL has been
submitted for processing' if you try to submit
your site, rest assured that it will not spider
any site obviously belonging to affiliate programs
any more - even if it says that your site has
been accepted. Can you afford that?
6) You will also find it very difficult to get an
affiliate link listed in a major directory like
Yahoo!. Although Yahoo! will never admit that it
won't add a commercial site which is hosted by an
affiliate program, in practice, it will be a
miracle if you can get your site listed by Yahoo!.
Listing your site with Yahoo! is difficult enough
even when you have your own domain. Don't make
your task more difficult than what it needs to be.
If you do not currently have a domain name to
promote your affiliate program, are you convinced
that you need one right now?
The small fee that you pay per year for your own
domain name is peanuts compared to the benefits
that you get. You can check out the availability
of domain names and register new domains
You can now also customize the Title, Keywords and
Description tags for your domain. This gives you
advanced search engine optimization for higher
search engine rankings. Almost all affiliate links
are NOT indexed by any of the major search engines.
NameStick Domains are.

Hypnotic Marketing 2.0 - Does It Deliver?
Hypnotic Marketing 2.0 - Does It Deliver?
Every once in a while a product comes along that revolutionizes the industry which it applies to. These products take previously known ideas and theories and expound upon them making them better, more effective and more powerful. Hypnotic Marketing 2.0 is one of these and it truly is extraordinary.
Origins
First, we saw the genius behind Joe Vitale’s Hypnotic Marketing. This original product single-handedly changed the way Internet marketing was done. Joe foresaw the need for change and modeled Hypnotic Marketing on that premise. The result was a wildly popular product that swept the Internet like a hurricane.
The only thing I can compare it to is an Internet meme. Everyone needed Joe’s system and once the word got out, everybody wanted Joe’s system and Joe was more than willing to share his knowledge with the entire world.
Originally, Hypnotic Marketing was comprised of three legs, i.e.…Hypnotic Publicity, Hypnotic Websites and Hypnotic Emails. Each leg was a powerhouse in itself and each proved to be effective individually. Put them all together and a marketing juggernaut was born.
Now there is a fourth leg to Joe’s Hypnotic Marketing ideology.
This one incorporates the web 2.0 technology with his original program. He calls the new product Hypnotic Marketing 2.0. What it does is to interconnect your customers in a powerful way that keeps them coming back over and over again. This is why every marketer NEEDS this product.
You won’t believe how the idea for this was born. Go to www.hypnoticmarketing.com to read the story behind the product’s inception.
The product
Comprised of seven steps, Hypnotic Marketing 2.0 is easy to get started with and best of all, you do not need an MBA to use it.
Step 1 gives you an overview of the Hypnotic Marketing system. This consists of the EBook, a guide to shortcuts and a quick start guide. Even a complete newbie to marketing can be off and running in a few minutes with these instructions.
Step 2 is where Joe reveals the system to you in an audio format. The power of this is that he also provides written transcripts and a cheat sheet with blanks to fill in as you go. Completely hands on so you retain what is taught here.
Step 3 is the new 4th leg to Hypnotic Marketing and embodies the “2.0? technology setup. Here you get tips and ideas for social web marketing along with written transcripts and an audio presentation of the material.
Step 4 contains ALL the material from the original product, so if you missed it the first time around, you don’t need to buy it again. All the material is presented as an EBook and in audio and written forms.
Step 5 is an eleven part walk through that Joe calls his Hypnotic Marketing E-Boot camp. Everything from grabbing an audience to strategy is covered. The last part is an example of the plan in action. You get the entire perspective here, folks, and Joe has held nothing back.
Step 6 is where you get a lot of value. This part is full of free bonuses for being smart enough to get in on this gold mine. All types of techniques developed by Joe and Larry Dotson are just handed to you here including hypnotic blogging and using the customer’s emotions as a selling tool. An absolute river of rushing possibilities awaits you; all for free.
Step 7 is your free trial period with the monthly printed newsletter and an audio CD. You never stop learning with Joe’s program.
Why we ALL need Hypnotic Marketing 2.0
When you add all the steps together and realize that this is just the tip of the iceberg, the possibilities are truly endless. As marketers, we are always on the lookout for ways to make more money. After all, our goal is financial independence, right? If it’ isn’t, it should be very soon!
Hypnotic Marketing 2.0 makes that more of a possibility than ever before. All of the material presented is original and authored by Joe Vitale and his partner, Larry Dotson, so you know this is current information and not some old idea that got resurrected somehow. As marketers, we all NEED current ideas and information to keep up with things as the Internet community changes and evolves.
Conclusion
The original Hypnotic Marketing system is proven and effective. With the addition of the web 2.0 ideology, it is virtually unstoppable. At the very least, it is unbeatable and productive.
Joe Vitale has offered this 4th leg as additional material, yet has included the original material as well. This saves newcomers to the program. As a marketing maneuver, this is ingenuous, not to mention unheard of in the Internet marketing community. So you can trust that Joe and his team are not doing this simply to make money, bit to help the masses learn to use the Internet to become financially independent as well.
The material delivers all that it promises, hands down, and keeps giving with the monthly newsletter. The result is that it is the “gift that keeps on giving”, so to speak. With proven methods and ideas, you cannot go wrong with this product.
Strong product content, great teaching abilities, easy to understand step by step instructions and monthly marketing lessons that keep coming make this a must have for every marketer.
This product not only does what it says it will do, it does what it says it will keep doing and that is what makes this a trustworthy purchase.

affiliate coding.
For instance, a link that includes these characters
backslashes, cgi-bin, and affiliate numbers or
usernames, would, until recently, have got the
infamous error message saying that too many pages
have been submitted from your site if you tried
to submit your site to AltaVista.
While AltaVista now says that 'your URL has been
submitted for processing' if you try to submit
your site, rest assured that it will not spider
any site obviously belonging to affiliate programs
any more - even if it says that your site has
been accepted. Can you afford that?
6) You will also find it very difficult to get an
affiliate link listed in a major directory like
Yahoo!. Although Yahoo! will never admit that it
won't add a commercial site which is hosted by an
affiliate program, in practice, it will be a
miracle if you can get your site listed by Yahoo!.
Listing your site with Yahoo! is difficult enough
even when you have your own domain. Don't make
your task more difficult than what it needs to be.
If you do not currently have a domain name to
promote your affiliate program, are you convinced
that you need one right now?
The small fee that you pay per year for your own
domain name is peanuts compared to the benefits
that you get. You can check out the availability
of domain names and register new domains at
You can now also customize the Title, Keywords and
Description tags for your domain. This gives you
advanced search engine optimization for higher
search engine rankings. Almost all affiliate links
are NOT indexed by any of the major search engines.
NameStick Domains are.
