Even for a small venture such as a niche profit site an opt-in list can make a world of difference and also add some extra income to your pocket. Rarely will you see an e-commerce site, big or small, that is without an opt-in list.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;An opt-in list allows a company to market their wares and site via e-mail. With an opt-in list, a site and a subscriber consent to sending and receiving a newsletter from your company. You can keep your subscribers abreast of what is currently available in your site as well as whatever is planned. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;Because there is mutual consent between the two parties, any mail sent to the list is not considered spam. There is a great number of successfully read promotional materials such as catalogs, newsletters and ezines that are sent because the subscribers themselves have signed up for them, meaning, they do want to be sent those items. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;Building a list is crucial, only a small percentage actually subscribe to an opt-in list. Many people find promotional mails annoying but of you provide a good newsletter or promotional material, you will see your list build and grow. You can also achieve this by having good content on your site. If people like what they see and read on your site, then they will want more. Newsletters are a way to attract them back to your site. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;But other than marketing your wares and your services, an opt-in list can also be used to earn extra profit. The more subscribers you have, the more money you can make. Here are seven ways to make money using nothing more than your list.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;1) Place advertisements. Many corporations will be willing to pay to put their banners and ads on a list with many subscribers. Selling or renting out lists is not a good idea so rather than doing that, many companies would just rather place ads with lists that have a huge subscriber base. Your newsletter can have ads and each one spells money.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;2) Have affiliations with other companies that have at least a semblance or relation to your site. Here other companies will provide links and brief descriptions of what their products and services. With every click made on the link that directs or leads a subscriber from your list to their site, the company will pay you. This is P4P or pay for performance. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;3) Make deals with other companies by asking for a small percentage of sales done through your list. With every sale done by customers that have come from your list and have gone there because of your newsletter, the other company will pay you a small percentage of your sales. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;4) You may also get products from other sites on a consignment basis and sell them to your list via your newsletter. Place descriptions, articles and photos of the product in your newsletter. There will be those who will buy from you and when that happens, you can order the product from the other site and sell it to your buyer.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;5) Sell e-books or a compilation of your articles on your list. Manuals and how-to articles are in great demand. Many people will be willing to shell out money to gain knowledge about a certain topic and subject. With your existing list trusting your expertise in that area, an e-book may be offered and sold or used as an incentive.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;6) Create a network out of your list. Get people to invite more people to view your site and subscribe to your list. The larger your list the more people will be able to click on your links and affiliate links as well as make your advertisement rates higher. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;7) Subscribers are willing to pay for information if they know that it can be trusted and relied upon. Use your list to get more and more people to subscribe to you as well as browse your site. Lastly, you can use your list to earn money by making them your partners. Your list will be the bloodline of your growth and increase.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/427544069026410982-2340013131387284591?l=iceburner1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://goo.gl/N2klj' title='Seven Money Making Ways Using Your Opt-In List'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://iceburner1.blogspot.com/feeds/2340013131387284591/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://iceburner1.blogspot.com/2011/11/seven-money-making-ways-using-your-opt.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/427544069026410982/posts/default/2340013131387284591'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/427544069026410982/posts/default/2340013131387284591'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://iceburner1.blogspot.com/2011/11/seven-money-making-ways-using-your-opt.html' title='Seven Money Making Ways Using Your Opt-In List'/><author><name>Michael Eisbrener</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04202301043296771693</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_qT0UrX8fQhc/R_46G3cCX5I/AAAAAAAAAAM/96PfH_YmWLQ/S220/MJE1211.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427544069026410982.post-3931411658067083088</id><published>2011-10-30T22:19:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-10-30T22:19:35.183-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Knock Knock!

mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;Online networking is growing because Internet tools make it easy for anyone to reach out to almost anyone who has a presence online. Lofty executives, potential clients, and future employers are within easy reach to anyone with a browser and an email account. But it won't do to rush off and start blasting off email messages to strangers -- that's a recipe for being ignored or added to an email blacklist. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #505050; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;Take the time to think through your online marketing approach, and your results will improve dramatically. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #505050; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;It's Not All About You&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #505050; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #505050; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;When you've read about an interesting person you'd like to get to know, it pays to dig a little deeper before you launch an introduction via email. An email message with the subject line "Loved your article" has a much better chance of being read than one titled "Hope you can help me." &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #505050; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;If you want to establish a relationship, spend half an hour online and learn a few things about the person you're interested in meeting. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #505050; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;Cut to the Chase&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #505050; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #505050; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;Most of us reach out to well-placed strangers when we need help with something -- finding a new job, closing a plum client, or meeting a person who's otherwise out of our reach. So when you launch a networking overture, come to the point. No one has time to read the saga that describes your last 15 jobs, as fascinating as it may be. Write, "I was hoping that you can advise me on my Marketing job search." Be specific. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #505050; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;Don't ever send your resume as an attachment to a person you don't know -- it's presumptuous, and raises fears of computer viruses. Ask, instead, for one specific thing, perhaps a bit of emailed advice on best companies for brand managers or some tips on moving from Operations into IT. Your target person's time is valuable, and you want to demonstrate that you know that.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #505050; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;Offer to Reciprocate&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #505050; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #505050; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;People think that it sounds silly to offer to help the person whose help you are seeking, but it's not. It's far better to write, "Of course, I would love to help you in any way I can, as well" than to behave as though you believe perfect strangers should be falling down with eagerness to assist you with your projects. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #505050; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;Don't be surprised if the person you're looking to contact takes you up your offer.

That's great. Be happy about your new contact, and don't push the young relationship by introducing six of your closest friends to your newest associate or adding your new pal to your newsletter distribution list.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #505050; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;Close the Circle&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #505050; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #505050; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;If you write to a technology expert asking for a technical answer and you get one, write back immediately to express your gratitude. After you've implemented the solution, write again and say so. It's frustrating for a person to take time helping a networker with an issue, and then never to hear from him or her again. Close the circle by writing, "Dear Allan, thanks for your job-search networking tips. I'm happy to say I got the job, and I owe you a beer the next time you're in Medellin!" &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #505050; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;Perceptive networkers know that the power of networking is in the quality of the relationships they build, not the number of people they know or their titles.

If you have ever found your keys in the drawer after the third or fourth time you where you already looked you understand why many of us continue on the insane road. There is a debate among people as to whether this said by Benjamin Franklin, Einstein, or someone else originally. As any experience because it has worked for us in the past and it is comfortable we continue with insane habits. Habits, even dangerous and worthless ones, provide something we need. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is just not very smart because we are not thinking when we are in this pattern. Our mind functions best on automatic, to create habits that keep us safe.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It isn’t interested in making you rich. You will have to think for that to happen.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 5.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 5.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 5.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 5.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;The same path applies to business. The businesses that break the mold and do something new often succeed. Those that continue with a version of status quo eventually find the Chapter 11 door. Horse carriage makers thought that the automobile fad was just a phase that would pass. How many vinyl record companies disappeared when CD’s appeared? In a more recent example, huge, established airline companies are struggling while new, smaller companies are succeeding by focusing on low fares and customer satisfaction. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 5.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 5.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 5.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 5.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;The &lt;b&gt;original businesses&lt;/b&gt; of network marketing began almost 100 years ago with vitamin sales in the US. Since then it has grown into an enormous and comprehensive industry with companies on all continents. (Yes, all continents. Somewhere, some scientist on Antarctica is pitching Amway or something like that to one of his coworkers. You know it is true!)&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Obviously, the industry hasn't remained the same, and success has favored the new and innovative. You should not remain the same either. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 5.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 5.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 5.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 5.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;MLM may make you a millionaire&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;. It has a remarkable record of accomplishment for that. If you are seeking a new way to break the mold of mediocrity (insanity) and achieve success that the few who possess the business courage and agility to do what it takes to get it then you have arrived at the right place in your life. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 5.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 5.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 5.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 5.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Many people will not achieve the financial success that originally lured them into network marketing (or real estate or insurance or …).&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The data in all fields suggests nearly 95% will not succeed.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;That appears to be a working number in most industries. There is also the 80/20 rule. 20% do the work generating 80% of the income. The first step is your choosing to be ready to be a part of the success group. Are you ready? &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 5.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 5.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 5.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 5.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;One key is to take a different approach. What you have done in the past if you continue the same approach will likely achieve the same results. My experience has shown me that the search for the simple and easy has led many people to skip or ignore essential steps in the path to success. Success is organizing a large number of people who do something simple and easy over and over and over. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 14.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 5.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 5.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 5.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 5.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;If you have not experienced success in the past I suggest you make drastic changes and break from your past patterns.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;If you have achieved success and then it stopped what is your story about it?&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It happened too soon? You were not ready for it? You didn’t deserve it? Was the cost of your success more than you were willing to pay long term?&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Quitting for any reason, valid or not, is the only reason for failure. Success is a journey with a goal in mind.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 14.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 5.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 5.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 5.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 5.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Throughout history, whether in war or exploration or business, success comes to the few.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It also comes to groups who hang out together.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;If you have a large address book and are a 'leader' your success in MLM is much more likely than if you are the Lone Ranger. I grew up living and breathing Lone Ranger episodes.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The Lone Ranger is the ultimate nice guy, friendly and one friend away from becoming a cloistered monk. Not the best role model to follow if you are looking for success in MLM or network marketing.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 14.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 5.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 5.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 5.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 5.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Success, financial success specifically, is a science.

Ontology provides principles for recognizing characteristic features of all things understood intellectually. &lt;b&gt;Ontology focuses on the meaning of being&lt;/b&gt;, the essence and its source/identity. Ontology investigates the essential variations of entities and their interdependencies. &lt;b&gt;Ontology studies the fundamental processes and the relationship of mind.&lt;/b&gt; Ontology studies how an object relates to the world and to itself. Ontology studies in a sense the interactions of the physical sciences to the atomic sciences. Ontology ultimately pursues the core essence and uses a descriptive definition that defines that analysis abstractly. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #090808; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"&gt;Ontology has roots going back over 2000 years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/427544069026410982-156255104488193049?l=iceburner1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://iceburner1.blogspot.com/feeds/156255104488193049/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://iceburner1.blogspot.com/2011/09/onotology-what-is-it.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/427544069026410982/posts/default/156255104488193049'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/427544069026410982/posts/default/156255104488193049'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://iceburner1.blogspot.com/2011/09/onotology-what-is-it.html' title='Onotology...

&lt;/span&gt;I was 16 and looking forward to my first ever deer hunt. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Dad helped me pick out a rifle.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;We sighted in the 7mm Mauser using up a box of shells.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Visions of the hunt stormed through my head.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;

&lt;/span&gt;Northern Minnesota is covered with Grand National forests.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;My cousin talked for weeks before the opening of the great location he had picked out for us.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Thursday evening it started to snow and it didn't stop all day Friday.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The season’s first snow, wet at first, covered the trees and ground with a thick white coat.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="DefaultText"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="DefaultText"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;We headed out at 2 in the morning on snowmobiles to get to the deer stands.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The temperature dropped and the snow stopped but my thoughts of adventure and excitement was undaunted.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Dad, my three cousins, a couple friends and I arrived at the deer crossing shortly after 5 am.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The temperature was 15 below zero and dropping.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="DefaultText"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="DefaultText"&gt;Standing, freezing, waiting for the sun rise, my spirits began to wane.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Patience is not practiced by the young.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The longest two hours of my life occurred as the temperature dropped to 25 below.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="DefaultText"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="DefaultText"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The sun rose, carefully, not finding a cloud in the sky.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It was crystal clear and just as quiet.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Nothing was moving, not even the wind. I didn't hear one shot, see one deer the entire day. The snowmobile ride home was cold.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="DefaultText"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="DefaultText"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It had been twenty-five years since my first hunt.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I invited my best friend to come with us this year. It was Michael's first hunt.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;He had never shot a rifle before.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;All Michael talked about the month before opening was how many deer he was going to shoot.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="DefaultText"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="DefaultText"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;We left for Dad's early Friday before opening.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;We wanted to practice shooting and get a good night rest.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;My brothers and friends would bring our party to a dozen. We saw many deer on the way north.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It was an unseasonable warm fall, 60 degree temperatures and no chance of snow. This is not good deer hunting weather.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="DefaultText"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="DefaultText"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Dad had picked out stands for each of us.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Six am came and we tumbled out of bed, dressed and slurped coffee between small talk.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Michael's excitement dazzled the calm anticipation of the rest of us.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;We each walked to our designated location. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;A random sparrow made a noise tweaking the silence. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="DefaultText"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="DefaultText"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;As the sun rose the first shots of the morning popped in the far distance and roared near us. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;They seemed to be happening all around us.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Suddenly a huge buck stood 40 yards away looking right at me.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;A single shot and the deer dropped where he stood. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="DefaultText"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="DefaultText"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Without leaving the property, we did three drives of the willows and the big woods and by mid afternoon we had twelve deer. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Michael had shot two. We spent the rest of the day retelling the stories of the hunt and preparing the deer for the trip, hours early, home.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/427544069026410982-3756002137639893539?l=iceburner1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://iceburner1.blogspot.com/feeds/3756002137639893539/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://iceburner1.blogspot.com/2011/09/dreaming-of-minnesota-deer-season.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/427544069026410982/posts/default/3756002137639893539'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/427544069026410982/posts/default/3756002137639893539'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://iceburner1.blogspot.com/2011/09/dreaming-of-minnesota-deer-season.html' title='Dreaming of a Minnesota Deer Season'/><author><name>Michael Eisbrener</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04202301043296771693</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_qT0UrX8fQhc/R_46G3cCX5I/AAAAAAAAAAM/96PfH_YmWLQ/S220/MJE1211.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427544069026410982.post-2982444899801975739</id><published>2011-09-11T21:57:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2011-09-11T21:57:48.623-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Bill Britt Prospecting Numbers to Beat!</title><content type='html'>&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;

I have taken hundreds of courses and listened to thousands of hours of audio.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Sharing, selling or offering your program is all the same thing at some level. If you do not get it done no one will join your program.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I am always looking for what Buckminster Fuller called the 'trim tabs.'

Ken informed says that no matter how great the product, how fantastic the comp plan, how secure and well funded the company or how great the leadership if three ingredients are missing you will not sponsor the person you are talking with.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;If they do not know you, like you or trust you the chance they will enroll in your program is zero. Perhaps you should take some time and do some mirror work.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;If you can &lt;b&gt;be&lt;/b&gt; with just you in the mirror for five minutes you are a rare bird. If you can spend 30 minutes Bill Harris will produce a course with you. If you cannot spend time with you in a mirror what does that suggest about others being with you?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 5.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 5.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.0pt;"&gt;Magnetic sponsoring, The Secret and numerous other current systems teaching the Law of Attraction are not new or even secrets.

&lt;/span&gt;No mention of this particular phenomenon was included in product brochure or the documentation, though other users have informed him that this is to be expected due to the nature of the application.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Not only that, Wife 1.0 installs itself such that it is always launched at system initialization where it can monitor all other system activity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;

During Installation, Wife 1.0 offered no option as to the installation of undesired Plug-Ins such as Motherinlaws 55.8 and BrotherInLaw Beta Release.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Also, system performance seems to diminish with each passing day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="DefaultText" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="DefaultText" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;Some features he'd like see in the upcoming Wife 2.0 are a "Don't remind me again* button, a "Minimize button" and an Install shield feature that allows Wife 2.0 to be Installed with the option to uninstall at anytime without loss of cache and other system resources. An option to run the network driver in promiscuous mode would allow the systems hardware probe feature to be much more useful.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="DefaultText" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="DefaultText" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;I myself decided to avoid the headache associated with Wife 1.0 by sticking with Girlfriend 2.0. Even here, however I found many problems. Apparently you cannot install Girlfriend 2.0 on top of Girlfriend 1.0. You must uninstall Girlfriend 1.0 first. Other users say this is a long standing bug that I should have known about. Apparently the versions of Girlfriend have conflicts over shared use of the I/0 port.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;You'd think they would have fixed such a stupid bug by now.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;To make matters worse, the uninstall program for Girlfriend 1.0 doesn't work very well, leaving undesirable traces of the application in the system.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;

It is one of the few courses I still have the notebook with my notes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What did I see and learn in the course?  Commitment is the backbone, strength and driving force of achievement -- the triumph of possibility over resignation, of creation over change, of your word and deed over all the practical reasons why "it can't be done."  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Commitment begins with our speaking and listening.  It is our word that has the power to create a future and alter what's possible, leaving us fully in accord with our own possibilities and those of others.  Commitment is the difference between involvement and accountability.  It is taking responsibility before the fact rather than after the fact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The short version is words matter and your word matters most.  A quote from the course, which was filled with quotes and which I reread often, is: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Until one is committed there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness.  Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred.  A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no one could have dreamt would have come his way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have learned a deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;   "Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.&lt;br /&gt;   Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     from "The Scottish Himalayan Expedition"&lt;br /&gt;       by W. H Murray&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What does this mean? Everyone is committed to something.  What you have and where you are now is what you being committed looks like.  The power of commitment makes nothing happen, it only makes it possible.

It is not obtained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.  -  Helen Keller&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/427544069026410982-33800241295012100?l=iceburner1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://iceburner.info' title='Commitment is Accountability minus Involvement'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://iceburner1.blogspot.com/feeds/33800241295012100/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://iceburner1.blogspot.com/2011/09/commitment-is-accountability-minus.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/427544069026410982/posts/default/33800241295012100'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/427544069026410982/posts/default/33800241295012100'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://iceburner1.blogspot.com/2011/09/commitment-is-accountability-minus.html' title='Commitment is Accountability minus Involvement'/><author><name>Michael Eisbrener</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04202301043296771693</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_qT0UrX8fQhc/R_46G3cCX5I/AAAAAAAAAAM/96PfH_YmWLQ/S220/MJE1211.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427544069026410982.post-4896053900657114202</id><published>2011-09-04T20:42:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-09-04T20:42:39.009-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Get Real!</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;Been There … Done That !&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's Time for Someone to Show YOU What Others Won’t!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have……&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•	No need to try to impress you with fancy Car photos! &lt;br /&gt;•	No Need to show you a photo of a pile of money! &lt;br /&gt;•	No need to hype you up on some worthless product! &lt;br /&gt;•	No time to waste on people looking for a free ride! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are serious and want a real opportunity to change your life… and you have the drive, determination and some startup cash… &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don’t just sit there… &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://eisbrener.net"&gt;&lt;b&gt;be my guest and find out more&lt;/b&gt;…&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/427544069026410982-4896053900657114202?l=iceburner1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://eisbrener.net' title='Get Real!'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://iceburner1.blogspot.com/feeds/4896053900657114202/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://iceburner1.blogspot.com/2011/09/get-real.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/427544069026410982/posts/default/4896053900657114202'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/427544069026410982/posts/default/4896053900657114202'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://iceburner1.blogspot.com/2011/09/get-real.html' title='Get Real!'/><author><name>Michael Eisbrener</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04202301043296771693</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_qT0UrX8fQhc/R_46G3cCX5I/AAAAAAAAAAM/96PfH_YmWLQ/S220/MJE1211.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427544069026410982.post-2597474259750619880</id><published>2011-09-03T18:36:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-09-03T18:36:33.729-05:00</updated><title type='text'>A Mastermind Alliance - Napoleon Hill</title><content type='html'>&lt;i&gt;Analyze the record of any person who has accumulated great fortune, and many of those who have accumulated modest fortunes, and you will find that they have either consciously, or unconsciously employed the Master Mind principle.  - Napoleon Hill&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A mastermind alliance is built upon two or more people working together in perfect harmony in order to accomplish a definite goal. If you use the mastermind principle to its fullest there is no obstacle you cannot overcome. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A mind is not complete on its own. When you use other people’s knowledge and then organize that knowledge towards a specific goal, you can accomplish anything. No one has ever gained substantial success without using this mastermind principle. All great minds grow and prosper through contact with others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Steps to build a Mastermind Alliance&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First and foremost this requires TWO people to begin.  You may add more.  The mastermind occurs with a definite goal is agreed by two who are in perfect harmony.   Harmony cannot be stressed enough.  Both parts must be in existence.  There is a third implied.  The people must meet together.  I believe if the first two are working contact is possible today using online conference rooms or telephone.   A room filled with like minded people, aligned on a mutual goal in perfect harmony is an incredible experience.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is your purpose and goal?  Who will align with you?  Can you work together harmoniously?  Once the mastermind is working you will find others who can fit into the constraints.  Same goals and harmony are required.  Goals tend to be easy. Harmony is another thing.  Anyone who cannot or will not commit to performing harmoniously should be asked to leave.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/427544069026410982-2597474259750619880?l=iceburner1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://eisbrener.net' title='A Mastermind Alliance - Napoleon Hill'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://iceburner1.blogspot.com/feeds/2597474259750619880/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://iceburner1.blogspot.com/2011/09/mastermind-alliance-napoleon-hill.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/427544069026410982/posts/default/2597474259750619880'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/427544069026410982/posts/default/2597474259750619880'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://iceburner1.blogspot.com/2011/09/mastermind-alliance-napoleon-hill.html' title='A Mastermind Alliance - Napoleon Hill'/><author><name>Michael Eisbrener</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04202301043296771693</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_qT0UrX8fQhc/R_46G3cCX5I/AAAAAAAAAAM/96PfH_YmWLQ/S220/MJE1211.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427544069026410982.post-6011079965501402032</id><published>2011-09-02T18:16:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-09-02T18:16:09.869-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Millionaire Mind – the Three Big Differences</title><content type='html'>I am rereading Secrets of the &lt;a href="http://iceburner.info"&gt;Millionaire Mind&lt;/a&gt;.  The last time was a review of the &lt;a href="http://iceburner.info"&gt;MMI course&lt;/a&gt; I did in June this last summer.  My favorite course of all time bar none and I suspect the next course I take from Peak Potentials will jump to the front of the line.  The three things I believe that are different about those with money is not new.   It can’t hurt to recognize them again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First and foremost the &lt;b&gt;wealthy buy assets instead of debt&lt;/b&gt;.  Any debt is aligned in the most advantageous way.   A large portion of their gross income goes to buying what produces more income.  Living inside of half of their net income is ‘impossible’ for everyone else.  Saying it so makes it so.   There are many today looking to buy hard assets.  Owning property is different than renting it from the bank but stuck with all the bills.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The wealthy invest in relationships&lt;/b&gt;. The Law of Association is maintained.  The Lone Ranger and Superman myths keep many people attempting to do it, to do everything, on their lonesome.  The wealthy support people and are not afraid to share what they are doing with friends and family.  The mantra of many people I introduce a home business is they are afraid or unwilling to share it with the friends and family. If you friends and family won’t support you, won’t assist you in building your dream, who will?   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The wealthy invest in themselves.&lt;/b&gt;  Education is ongoing and personal.  It is more than college. Books and gatherings with like minded people account for ten percent of their income.  Spending time and money on their education supports building new powerful relationships too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s time you invested how to change the direction of your financial life. This &lt;a href="http://iceburner.info"&gt;Course is now tuition free&lt;/a&gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/427544069026410982-6011079965501402032?l=iceburner1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://gobegreatnow.net' title='Millionaire Mind – the Three Big Differences'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://iceburner1.blogspot.com/feeds/6011079965501402032/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://iceburner1.blogspot.com/2011/09/millionaire-mind-three-big-differences.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/427544069026410982/posts/default/6011079965501402032'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/427544069026410982/posts/default/6011079965501402032'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://iceburner1.blogspot.com/2011/09/millionaire-mind-three-big-differences.html' title='Millionaire Mind – the Three Big Differences'/><author><name>Michael Eisbrener</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04202301043296771693</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_qT0UrX8fQhc/R_46G3cCX5I/AAAAAAAAAAM/96PfH_YmWLQ/S220/MJE1211.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427544069026410982.post-7742565553477243799</id><published>2011-08-31T22:37:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-08-31T22:37:16.539-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Converted Dozens of Sites to New Scheme</title><content type='html'>I like online toys... marketing systems.

Some even call it a Secret!  The Secret, Bob Proctor, Bill Harris and others all speak about the Law of Attraction.  One of my favorite quotes is: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“To attract attractive people, you must be attractive. To attract powerful people, you must be powerful. To attract committed people, you must be committed. Instead of going to work on them, you go to work on yourself. If you become, you can attract."  - Jim Rohn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do a Google search on the names above and you will find all of them provide lots information.   With all the attention, the Law of Attraction is presented by some people as what I call “magical thinking.”  Believing that thinking new thoughts will make the difference will leave you disappointed with the outcome.  If you are interested in verifiable and valid results magical thinking does not work. Magical thinking may be useful in experiencing certain kinds of feelings.  Fake it until you make it has a certain value.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In THINK and GROW RICH Napolean Hill pays special attention to harmony between all parites and more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“One must marry one's feelings to one's beliefs and ideas. That is probably the only way to achieve a measure of harmony in one's life.”  - Napoleon Hill  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have ever seen two married people you know the difficulty to which he was referring. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I recommend you investigate the opportunity at &lt;a href="http://www.eisbrener.net"&gt;www.eisbrener.net&lt;/a&gt; and then we should talk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/427544069026410982-5938126694374177871?l=iceburner1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://iceburner1.blogspot.com/feeds/5938126694374177871/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://iceburner1.blogspot.com/2011/08/magical-thinking-or-law-of-attraction.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/427544069026410982/posts/default/5938126694374177871'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/427544069026410982/posts/default/5938126694374177871'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://iceburner1.blogspot.com/2011/08/magical-thinking-or-law-of-attraction.html' title='Magical Thinking or The Law of Attraction'/><author><name>Michael Eisbrener</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04202301043296771693</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_qT0UrX8fQhc/R_46G3cCX5I/AAAAAAAAAAM/96PfH_YmWLQ/S220/MJE1211.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427544069026410982.post-5153435184292286447</id><published>2011-08-27T22:41:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2011-08-27T22:44:24.484-05:00</updated><title type='text'>The Law of Communication</title><content type='html'>Everyone knows when communication is effective.  Staying in contact with your organization is both art and science.  The essence of communication is intention.  Sending an email to everyone on your team is one way to communicate.  If no one opens the email however there was no communication.  Real communication is a two way phenomenon.  You send out the ‘message’ and the intended recipient replies indicating in some way their understanding.  Done effectively you will know if they heard you or heard some other message.  The smaller the gap between what you said and meant and what was heard and returned as acknowledgement determines the quality and effectiveness of your communication.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One aspect of communication normally overlooked is the ‘filter’ each individual processes all of their communication through.  Your filter is also part of the process.  It is almost a miracle that we communicate at all.  The ‘filter’ is culture, family, friends and every reaction, inaction of your and their past.  Humans have been communicating for thousands of years.  Those who do it well prosper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Participating in a business where events, coaching and inspiration are a major part of the operation keeps it working and expanding.  Amega taxes and exercises your ability to communicate making this an ongoing growth and development program.  Every part of your life will be upgraded as you begin to engage this Law of Communication.  As you communicate so goes your business, so goes your life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Visit &lt;a href="http://www.eisbrener.net"&gt;www.eisbrener.net&lt;/a&gt; and begin the communication that puts you into action and rapidly expands your financial future.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/427544069026410982-5153435184292286447?l=iceburner1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://iceburner1.blogspot.com/feeds/5153435184292286447/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://iceburner1.blogspot.com/2011/08/law-of-communication.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/427544069026410982/posts/default/5153435184292286447'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/427544069026410982/posts/default/5153435184292286447'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://iceburner1.blogspot.com/2011/08/law-of-communication.html' title='The Law of Communication'/><author><name>Michael Eisbrener</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04202301043296771693</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_qT0UrX8fQhc/R_46G3cCX5I/AAAAAAAAAAM/96PfH_YmWLQ/S220/MJE1211.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427544069026410982.post-3178962860456438959</id><published>2011-08-26T20:54:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2011-08-26T20:58:48.230-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Fuel Shark Arrived Today!</title><content type='html'>We live in Medellín, Colombia.  Medellín is in the Aburrá Valley and we live half way up the side of the mountain overlooking the city to the west.  The drive to work and back is not far but up and down the mountain every day.  Our vehicle does a fine job and runs adequately on regular but has much more power with half regular and half premium.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Fuel Shark arrived and today was the first day we plugged it in.  It will be awhile before if we see any difference to mileage and fuel savings.  The car runs better, quieter almost and the last tank was all regular but with Fuel Shark it has the power, the feeling of premium. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It will be a couple weeks to notice the fuel savings.

Harv Eker, author of the New York Times #1 best-seller "Secrets of the Millionaire Mind." I'm a huge fan of Harv - his work has changed my life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I learned at his Millionaire Mind Intensive your financial success is determined not by your down-line, products, sales ability, up-line or the numerous other factors we think of. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's determined by your mindset. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are all equipped with an inner money thermostat, which determines the level of wealth that we feel comfortable having. Just like your home's thermostat controls the temperature of your environment, your inner money thermostat controls the level of wealth you experience. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's why some people (like Donald Trump) can lose millions and bounce back ... and why others (like lottery winners) can strike it rich and lose everything within months. Your wealth will always adjust itself to your "set point." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Millionaire Mind for Network Marketers reveals the key characteristics that separate top producers from average network marketers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get the report now at &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.GoBeGreatNow.net"&gt;www.GoBeGreatNow.net&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inside this eye-opening report, you'll discover: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•	The 4-part formula that dictates the level of success you achieve in network marketing ... and every other area of your life (Most people focus only on steps #3 and #4 ... which is why they rarely achieve the success they want) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•	The only way to permanently change the results you get from your network marketing business &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•	Why being satisfied making just a little extra money with your network marketing business actually undermines your success &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•	6 habits that the wealthy have ... but the poor and middle class laugh at. Adopt these habits and I practically guarantee you'll become financially free &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•	The simple Hawaiian philosophy that opens you up to greater abundance (most people do the exact opposite, which condemns them to never having what they want) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•	The 2 unique reasons that network marketing offers you the greater chance of financial success (hint: it is NOT the size of your commissions) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•	Common - and sneaky - ways that you sabotage your success (I'll tell you exactly what to look out for... and what to do when you see these excuses popping up) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•	Why asking "How can I make more money?" is the worst question to ask ... and what to focus on instead (do this and you'll effortlessly increase your income) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•	The 4-letter word that must be eradicated from your vocabulary immediately if you hate to sell - you'll be amazed by the results &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•	The brilliant comeback you can use when someone gives you grief about networking marketing (as a bonus, your heckler will suddenly become a hot prospect for your "in" talk) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•	How to tell where your money thermostat is set ... and what determined your set point &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•	And much more! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This report is completely free and comes with a surprise bonus gift worth $1590 that will help you permanently raise your inner money thermostat to a higher level of wealth. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Click &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.GoBeGreatNow.net"&gt;www.GoBeGreatNow.net&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and get your copy now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/427544069026410982-3670856238835682428?l=iceburner1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://iceburner1.blogspot.com/feeds/3670856238835682428/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://iceburner1.blogspot.com/2011/08/what-every-network-marketer-need-to.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/427544069026410982/posts/default/3670856238835682428'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/427544069026410982/posts/default/3670856238835682428'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://iceburner1.blogspot.com/2011/08/what-every-network-marketer-need-to.html' title='What EVERY Network Marketer Need to Know'/><author><name>Michael Eisbrener</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04202301043296771693</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_qT0UrX8fQhc/R_46G3cCX5I/AAAAAAAAAAM/96PfH_YmWLQ/S220/MJE1211.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427544069026410982.post-1846380943586817544</id><published>2011-08-24T20:32:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-08-24T20:33:31.365-05:00</updated><title type='text'>I Have a Couple Questions For You...</title><content type='html'>What will change in your life, over the next 12 months, if you continue doing what you're doing right now?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YOU get to choose.  It really is up to you. You will be the one to determine exactly what your life looks like in 12 months. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not the economy.&lt;br /&gt;Not your company.&lt;br /&gt;Not your boss.&lt;br /&gt;Not your parents.&lt;br /&gt;Not your spouse.&lt;br /&gt;Not the Democrats.&lt;br /&gt;Not the conservatives,&lt;br /&gt;Not the Republicans.&lt;br /&gt;Not the liberals,&lt;br /&gt;Not your friends and relatives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YOU!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sadly, most people simply do nothing or the same thing over and over again expecting a different result.  It is easy to ignore opportunity (safer to just complain) and continue doing what you've been doing.   After all, there's probably something on TV right now.  Maybe a movie you rented and haven't watched yet. How is that working for you? What does it pay you for the hours of your time?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have not left yet and you are still reading this, then your mind is on the same track mine was when I first read a page like this one.  I took action making a phone call and learning more.  And that decision put me on an entirely different path than I would have been on otherwise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What about you?  Interested in charting a new course for the next 12 months?  It starts with a simple step.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Call me at 305-421-3165 right now.  If you have 10 to 15 hours a week and a willingness to learn, I have what you're looking for in a home business.&lt;br /&gt;You qualify by the actions you take. Many offer an immediate way to begin. You can get started in less than 24 hours but I suggest you take the time you need investigating a "No Guesswork Blueprint" to creating a life without limits. Virtually no assembly required. Simple plug and play, paint by the numbers and you can do this! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next step is yours!  I'll look forward to speaking with you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To your ultimate and complete success!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Michael Eisbrener&lt;br /&gt;305-421-3165&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eisbrener.net"&gt;www.eisbrener.net&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/427544069026410982-1846380943586817544?l=iceburner1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://iceburner1.blogspot.com/feeds/1846380943586817544/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://iceburner1.blogspot.com/2011/08/i-have-couple-questions-for-you.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/427544069026410982/posts/default/1846380943586817544'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/427544069026410982/posts/default/1846380943586817544'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://iceburner1.blogspot.com/2011/08/i-have-couple-questions-for-you.html' title='I Have a Couple Questions For You...'/><author><name>Michael Eisbrener</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04202301043296771693</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_qT0UrX8fQhc/R_46G3cCX5I/AAAAAAAAAAM/96PfH_YmWLQ/S220/MJE1211.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427544069026410982.post-4916644178575536775</id><published>2011-08-23T19:51:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2011-08-23T19:54:52.747-05:00</updated><title type='text'>THINGS TO CONSIDER</title><content type='html'>Life is too short. Do something that you really want to do. Don't waste your life. Don't simply settle for what others want you to do.  Your true happiness is always in your hands. Only you can chose what you want to do with your life. Choose wisely. There is value in all work, whether it is self-employment or working for someone else. Never criticize anyone for anything. Commit to no complaining given or received. Not everyone hates his or her job. Not everyone wants to be self-employed. Not everyone should be self-employed. There are people who lead very fulfilling lives without being self-employed. The vast majority of new ideas, major accomplishments, lasting achievements, etc., have come from people who technically worked for someone else. So to everyone who preaches how everyone must have their own business - lighten up.  Live your life. Let others live theirs. What difference does it make what others are making in a company? It has no bearing on you. What matters is how much you want to make and what you are going to do to get it. What matters is what works for you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some people say stay unemotional, detached, and machine-like when you are working your business. Others suggest you emote at a higher level, allow your enthusiasm to run and your passion to show. Do what works for you; otherwise, you will drive yourself crazy. Identify yourself in all communications, both verbal and written. Use correct sentences, spelling, capitalization, punctuation, grammar to the best of your ability. Don't label yourself as ignorant, lazy, sloppy, and amateurish. (This also applies to email.) It will still happen no matter how well you do that someone will point out the error in spelling or grammar.  I tell them it was intentional.  I now know they read the email or article or website!  Conduct yourself properly on the telephone. Identify who you are and why you are calling. Get to the point. Learn the basics of using a computer and the internet. You cannot be in ANY business without them.  This is the real school and what you do anywhere is what you do everywhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Work hard at your business. No one is going to build it for you. No one is going to sell your products for you. Stop trying to get your upline to do all the work. Stop telling your downline you will help them. It's your business, treat it that way. If you put as much time into your business as you do watching the boob tube or recreating out doors or doing a dozen other things, you could become very wealthy in your field. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stop complaining about everything that's wrong and start praising everything that's right. Negative news travels faster that positive news. Do you want your downline to focus only on the negative? And if you must vent, only vent to your upline. Always put on a smile for your downline. If you want your business to grow, you have to stop talking bad about it. If it's that bad, quit and find another business. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most any successful email marketer using any system will tell you that you must commit to at least twelve months of using the system. You must also upload at a &lt;a href="http://gobegreatnow.com "&gt;minimum 2 million leads&lt;/a&gt; to have enough people to talk to. So don't cry when you upload 5000 leads and you only have 3 people as a premium lead, or even if you upload 500,000 leads and only have a few hundred premium leads to talk to. You need to commit to it, do it, and stop complaining about it. You talk to anyone that is successful and they will tell you this... "I never focused on the bad. I never complained about the ugly, and I never cried about the short comings. What I did do was, learn, get stronger, and fight my way to the top.".  Never stop moving towards your dreams!
