Dateline: 8/24/2008 Langhorne, PA – In a stunning display of massive brain power and undeniable, positive energy, the Impact Action Team have developed a cause that will mean saving and impact millions of lives over the rest of this year.
Millions Of Lives?
Every human being will touch the lives of thousands over their lifetime. We want to save hundreds if not thousands of human beings from the clutches of depression and disillusionment. Every teen that takes his or her own life is one too many. We are selfishly going to keep everyone we possibly can alive.
Selfishness is when you do something for your own benefit. I want to benefit from the saving of any teen’s life. After all, in 25 years, I am going to need every one of them to pay for my social security, right?
All kidding aside, I am serious about this cause because it took my cousin, Dany Savoie, a number of years ago, and while he was not a teenager, he did take his own life and devastated his wife and son, as well as the rest of his family. He would have been 43 last month…
The man I am helping with this cause is Deremiah *CPE, a man of many talents. He came so close, when he was a child, to giving up, and now he is all about reaching troubled teens. He speaks at schools and organizations to inspire people to Speak Up, Save Lives!
You should definitely keep up with this guy.
In Other News…
I met some of the folks I had met on twitter in person here and we found that our personalities online were actually rather accurate! We still joke around a lot, just like we did over the Internet, and in many cases, still chose to tweet even when in the same room!
My decision to work with offline business has become more pronounced with the training I received from all the many awesome speakers, especially Felicia Slattery, who taught us how to become great speakers. I plan on speaking at events by the end of the year and speaking in my own seminars with local businesses when I return from Long Beach, California next month. The social media curriculum that I am developing is actually being used in part of the Impact Team action blogging team so that I can evaluate its effectiveness in a new situation.
Sesame And Irony
I find it rather ironic that we are across the street from Sesame Place when we are discussing suicidal teens. The happy children going to and from Sesame Place all weekend were haunting reminders that by the time children reach their teens, a good 75% contemplate taking their own lives. This is sharp contrast to these children with big dreams of seeing Elmo, Big Bird, Ernie and Burt! That is why we found it much more urgent that we make a difference in the lives of their older counterparts by creating the Speak Up Save Lives website that will be fully live by Tuesday!
LAST CHANCE
You don’t have a lot of time to get some of my products for a buck. I am extending it until tomorrow at midnight, because I really have to make sure I get enough sales to get my car out of the parking lot in Orlando…
Buy a product like my Community Site Madness and get one of my other products for $1 (must be of equal or lesser value) and you can see the rest of the products here:

Thanks for the shout out Micheal!
I’m glad I inspired you to do some offline in person marketing by speaking at events. It truly is an amazing way to get more credibility, more clients, and more cash flow. I’ll support you in any way I can, my friend!
Warmly,
Felicia
