I used to promote a lot of stuff.

Then I started getting burned by products that  did not live up to what the owner said it would do.

So I changed my methodology.  Now I only promote (most of the time) products that I myself have purchased or tried…
 
Project Archimedes - One Of The Best…

Ben Shaffer is one of those guys who stays behind the scenes.  He creates niche sites and makes a lot of money.  But most of the time, you don’t see him in the limelight, unless he is winning an affiliate contest or something.

Ben braindumped everything he knows about website flipping and domaining into a course that will help you build the foundation for a massive business.  He calls it Project Archimedes, and it is very much the course that will propel people into transforming their businesses.

Simply by adding the practice of scoping out for undervalued domains to your existing business, you have the ability to add 20% to 50% more to your bottom line while only adding a few extra hours a month to your routine.

Now I would have included more nuts and bolts type of training to the project, but I decided to include that as a bonus to anyone who purchases Project Archimedes through my link.

I am assembling a membership site that you can use to learn the skills you may not have right now (like how to do graphics using either GIMP or Paint.net), how to upload via FTP and cpanel, how to make a paypal button, how to use clickbank (for affiliate products) and how to use KompoZer as your HTML editor.  This membership site will be selling for $47 per month when I release it next week, but anyone who gets on Ben’s prenotification list and buys Project Archimedes on November 11th will get 180 days access for $1! (6 months should be more than enough time to pick up the skills you will need to do a professional looking job with websites so that you can flip them and make more than you invested in both the website and Project Archimedes).

So if you are a Virtual Real Estate guru in training, this is one course that you shouldn’t do without!

For The Faint Of Heart!

Success can be elusive at times.  Sometimes we can actually sabotage ourselves through the negative baggage we carry with us wherever we go, from job to job, business to business even hobby to hobby.

Things that we struggle with are very dependent on our internal struggles.  Things like:
- Lack of money

- Relationship issues

- Why you don’t achieve true success

- Past trauma

- Compulsions / Obsessions/ OCD

- Addictions

- Phobias

- And more…

Visit Pam Ragland and listen to the recordings of her calls…

I have gone through her thought shifting program and I can tell you that I have seen a difference.  Incredible focus where total overwhelm and distraction was overcoming me.

But now the only distraction is when I forget to write down my objectives and I just decide to wing it.   

Pam is one of those people who gives so much of herself that she ends up spending the entire day on the phone helping people overcome their roadblocks and inner negativity.

I urge you to take her up on her offer to answer your toughest questions about why you are not succeeding at relationships, at business, work, breaking addictions and other emotional and mental challenges.  Visit Pam’s website now!

Have an amazing day!

Tears are welling up in my eyes as I type this, the sheer force of the first movement of Beethoven’s 4th Symphony (in B-Flat major for those of you who care) as I try and drown out the negativity that my mind keeps attempting to pour into my soul…

Music is amazing.

In my case, I like instrumental music because I lose concentration when I hear words. In this case, maybe words would be good, so long as they sang positive affirmations. I am a firm believer that what you listen to does affect you. I once wanted to write a comic book series about a hero who would gain superhuman strength whenever he heard music. It would have made for a really cool movie. I like the way it gives me strength (not superhuman, but it does energize me in instances when I feel particularly down).

Like right now.

I check my bank account balance last night immediately after my direct deposit hit and my 2 week paycheck had just brought my balance back to $23. I wasn’t excited, but I thought I could make it so long as I canceled as many of my bill payments as I could.

After canceling what I could, I figured out that I needed to deposit $240 to cover the bills that weren’t covered yet, so I made a plan and worked until 4:30AM getting my site set up.

I tested it and then went to bed. I awoke and started mailing and promoting the product, which, ironically enough, is designed to help you increase cashflow by offering a coaching program. Paypal decided to do some sort of upgrade and Instant Payment Notifications were delayed by up to an hour, so a lot of customers were not shown the one time offer that was supposed to convert really well…

Still, Beethoven was breaking me out of the funks that all of these issues were tossing my direction. It was still going well, until I logged in to my Bank of America (BOA) account… They lived up to their acronym, because they squeezed the wind right out of me.

I really had to debate whether to finish this post. I have had the habit of revealing too much of the personal in my personal posts. My PR friends say that honesty is good, but too much honesty will take you right out of the game.

Seriously, though, my thoughts today as I examine my next 6 months and plan how I am going to retire from my job on October 31st… I sometimes don’t see how it can be possible. Vision is sometimes seeing what isn’t there yet. So I am going to do what I can with my current situation and work on setting a firm foundation for my business.

But I don’t intend on doing it alone.

Don’t ever plan your future and only consult with yourself. Surround yourself with higher income earners than yourself and let them help you with the brainstorming and the potential for your plans. They can help you see obstacles that you might not have planned for and help you steer clear of them BEFORE they become a problem.

So now that I am at peace with the world of finances, I can again focus on the world of product creation and social media! Together, the two disciplines are very powerful because of how quickly you can align yourself with your audience. I used Wowit software creator to put together a really cool player for an audio interview I did with Felicia Slattery and it floored her. The player gave instant access to the audio and also links that people could click on to get to the products she mentioned in the interview.

I am planning a software product like that for traffic generation and social media. In fact, I have an idea for a software social media card that will give your links to every social media platform so that you just send a person to download your software and then they can sign up as your friend on all of the networks. I also plan on making it brandable.

This post has really meandered today, so I am going to let you get some much needed rest for your weary eyes. Just remember to tell people about the contest, because we need more people trying to get the word out about SpeakUpSaveLives.org… The contest URL is http://speakupsavelives.org/impact
and you can sign up and win some awesome prizes!

When you feel down, remember that others are thinking about taking their own lives and that you should be out there helping to bring the orchestra to the thousands who need some music in their souls!

Have an amazing day!

Micheal

When you go to an event, you are exposed to a lot of people and concepts that are life changing. I can identify with that, because spending a few minutes with Brendon Burchard is enough to change you. You find the people and concepts that are most in line with your core values and then you accept them into your being.

Then you get home.

Life hits you squarely in the face. This is when your character gets tested. I drove home last night and arrived to find my mobile home still in the deteriorating form that I had left it. I could not believe it had not healed miraculously over the weekend - “I know God can work miracles, He created the universe in 7 days and I have been away for 4, so he should have been able to resurrect the rotting carcass of a mobile home and breathe some new life into it!”

The pool was still on the patio with 3 inches of water in the bottom, I stepped over the hole in the floor in the entryway as I lugged my suitcase into the house. My wife almost broke her neck coming down the hall too fast and slipping into a hole in the floor and coming really close to falling. It all hit me with a vengeance!

Nothing had changed here.

I was different inside, a more determined me, but without taking massive focused action, that scenario will be repeated time and time again… The goal is still to get to the point where I can get a burn permit from the Citrus County government and have the biggest bonfire ever… when I have a new home to move into.

The difference is that I have a plan. I have the action steps outlined to get myself in front of businesses in my community and show them the wonders of social media. My first step is to set up my domain for Wired Social Profits, because that is where the action will be! That is the name of my new company and it is going to take Citrus and Marion counties in a big way.

What am I going to do?

Informing, Training and Coaching offline businesses in the profit exploding tactics that make social media so powerful! I am studying with Brendon Burchard and Felicia Slattery on the best ways to get the word out. I am lining up calls with some of the most amazing people I have had the pleasure of working with. You will be hearing more as they acknowledge that they have been enlisted in my cause… lol!

How to fund these important changes? First, I am enlisting the help of some awesome people as I make them a part of my advisory board. They are going to be shareholders in my company, so they will have a vested interest in helping me bring in more income. The greatest gift that the past 30 days has given me is the faith that all of this is going to happen and the Lord is funneling blessings my way.

Some blessings are a hug from a spouse who has missed me beyond my comprehension. I am vowing to do what it takes to be able to bring her on my journey through the tough times and out the other side to the good times. I have tried too hard without success to insulate her from the struggles… she has been forced to live with my failures and while she has kept about as quiet as I have ever seen her, she is actually more supportive than I give her credit for. With her by my side, the journey should not be a lonely one - which has made the current journey so difficult and painful.

Blessing also come from unusual places. Felicia Slattery came home from Philadelphia to find her office tranformed! New furniture and a tidy home - her husband was so proud of her accomplishments that he worked overtime to get the office redone and make her home a pleasure to come home to! That blessing was passed through to me, because Felicia is going to do a teleseminar with me in the next 7 days to show you why you can be a speaker. Since I am learning from her, I am definitely happy that she is going to be joining me for a call.

Inspiration is the biggest blessing of all, as I am feeling the effects of a strong force of inspiration that allowed me to be able to come up with the business plan and a way to fund these new changes to my business.

Finally, I am working on my book, because the story I have lived through is almost unbelievable because so many people are living like this and they are not getting the word out, they are not even aware of their ability to break free… they may be giving up completely without even knowing that they hold the key to their own jail cell in their clenched fist.

Escape with me…

Take a moment.

Close your eyes. Wait until after you have finished reading this or go get someone to read this to you…

Think about where you are right now. Imagine the worst things that have happened to you in the last 30 days. Imagine that all of those bad things that have happened are boulders and they are all over the ground in front of you, behind your, they are stacked on top of you and you feel that you are barely able to breathe from the weight of all of these boulders.

Now, imagine that your dream of freedom from your current struggles is a spray bottle with a trigger. Your place your finger on that trigger. Place your finger on the trigger in the air in front of you. Now, spray the boulder directly over your head. Squeeze that trigger as you point to that insurance bill or late mortgage payment boulder.

You are amazed to see that the boulder is shrinking, whithering away into a little pebble and it falls to the ground, unable to bother you. Now choose some other boulders, the maintenance of your home, or the laundry or the car… spray each one of them and watch them shrivel into pebbles that no longer have any control over you.

Get crazy with your spray bottle and spray in all directions! Your boulders are all withering, and you are now in control of your situation, because your dream is stronger than any one item on your To Struggle List.

Who needs a To Struggle List, anyway?

You are dependent on your dream more than you realize, because without the dream, the boulders can look mighty huge, and might even be an obstacle to your success. But with my spray bottle, I have the ability to shrink those obstacles into pebbles, so I can walk toward my dreams much more rapidly!

Donna Fox - for showing me that who you are on stage is only a small part of who you are and just because you seem to be outgoing and gregarious in the public does not mean that you aren’t a shy person inside. In fact, I now go out of my way to bring people into a discussion if I see them hanging back… because I was there once upon a time!
Keith Wellman - for having the balls to push his father into the best thing he has ever done because of how much impact Jeff now has! And also for treating me like an equal even before I even rated to be a servant…
Andrea Chin - for showing me that an impact is like a ripple in a pond - that ripple is still moving as she is going to be a major force in this industry, especially in the corporate and non-profit world.
Deremiah - the blessings from you are just trickling now and your impact on this world will be so great that I see people writing about you at the turn of this century and how much better the world is since you decided to choose life instead of death!

Of course I cannot put everyone on this list, and I can’t even attempt to without making myself late for work… but I can tell you that I love each and every one of you for everything you mean to me! The development process is difficult, and takes harsh chemicals, catalysts and preservatives… in photography - life is harder than that!

Remember that you are on a quest… don’t let anything keep you from that ultimate goal, even though you will have some side journeys and tasks that you will have to accomplish before all is said and done.

Have an amazing day!
