Sample Content Preview Let me put it this way. If you knew that you were going to be put in a box tomorrow, what kind of life would you have desired for yourself? In that instance, knowing that you're going to die, you are forced to look back at your life and judge what you have accomplished and be clear about what you wish you had accomplished. That's how we know what our ultimate goals are. There is also the other set of goals. These are practical goals. Too many people confuse the two. This is a mistake that leads confusion, wasted energy and wasted focus. If you want to be more effective, and if you want to tap the power of motivation to push you to live a more effective and purposeful life, focus on the big things. Focus on the grand outcomes and objectives of your life. Practical goals are involving putting food on the table, paying off debt, saving up enough money for your kid’s college, taking care of insurance costs, so on and so forth. These are important goals, mind you, but in the big scheme of things, they're just steps that you take to go a certain direction. They are means to an end, and the ends are worth the most. These are your ultimate outcomes and objectives. Don’t confuse the two. Be Clear about the Big Outcomes and Objectives of Your Life I have to confess I can't help you with this. Everybody’s life outcomes and life objectives are different. Maybe your grand life objective is to become the largest landowner in your state or province. Another person might have the grand objective of simply seeing his or her grandchildren graduate from college. Another person's grand objective have something to do with traveling to at least a hundred different countries. Everybody's different that’s why I can't help you with this, but one thing is clear. You must have a crystal-clear idea of the outcomes and objectives you want for your life. Nobody can do this for you. You have to decide. You have to put in the work to clarify these things. As you can tell, there is no right or wrong answer. Choose to be Clear about Your Need for a Process Now that you have an end goal in mind, understand that this goal is not going to happen by magic. It's just not. Once you have a solid objective in mind, please remember that is point B. You are at point A. Your job is to figure out how to get from point A to point B. Now, this is not a simple matter of a few hops, skips and jumps. This is a life’s journey. This involves a process that doesn't just involve going through time. It also involves a change in your mind and consciousness. You become a different person as you go through this process. It's the journey that changes you. Every single day, there will be practical goals popping up all over the place. These goals need to be achieved to be achieved so you can continue your journey to your ultimate objectives and outcomes. I am, of course, talking about practical realities like keeping a roof over your head, making sure there’s food on the table and making sure that a lot of the everyday practical considerations of your life and your family are taken care of. All these require process, and this process is your state of flow. Now, this is where a lot of people slip up. They think their process is them showing up to a job or doing whatever it takes to pay the rent. However, they're looking at it in the wrong way because if you look at your need for the process and you allow yourself to enter that state of flow, everything else becomes easier. Everything else falls into place. To a large extent, your state of flow should be your practical goal. You should think in terms of how do I do trigger this state of flow so I can blow through my to-do list and then some? How can I trigger this state of flow so I can think about the challenges that I’m facing and come up with better solutions? Believe it or not achieving this state of flow and getting it to happen on command should be your daily goal. Recap: Your State of Flow Here's a quick recap of what a state of flow is. It is a mental and emotional state where things become easy precisely because they're clear. It seems that whenever you make an action, it produces a result. When you look at on what's going on around you and the task in front of you, you are able to connect the dots. None of them intimidate you. None of them make you feel that it’s not worth your time. None of them make you feel burdened and heavy. Instead, you can see how things connect and you’re excited about it. Everything is clear. Everything is predictable. You notice that when you take an action, it leads to something and you can see the consequences of the decisions you make when you are in this state of mind. This enables you to become bold. You’re no longer feeling like you’re this piece of plastic floating out there in the middle of a tropical storm in the ocean of life being pushed from one end of the ocean to the other end with absolutely no control nor a sense of ownership about what’s going on. This is the precise opposite. It’s like you enter into a cube and everything is well-defined, predictable, quantifiable despite the fact that everything is moving quickly. This gives you courage, boldness and resolution. Everything that just clicks, and everything just works. This is your state of flow. Now, please understand that states of flow vary from person to person. Other people can sustain it for a very long time until they totally obliterate their to-do list. Other people stay in it in a fairly short period. That’s perfectly okay. What’s important is that you enter it, get things done and, eventually, call it into being on command. If I haven’t said it enough times, let me say it again. Achieving a state of flow should be your practical goal. This is the secret. This is what leads to not only knocking out other practical goals but also leading you in a big way to your life’s big objectives. The best part about your personal state of flow is that it helps you take care of the now. Believe it or not the now is the foundation of the future. The future is not going to happen until you lift a finger to do things now. Your hopes, dreams and wishes - they’re just going to remain in your mind, free-floating out there, nice and irrelevant, until you reduce them into reality based on the decisions you make in the here and now. Focusing on that state of flow enables you to do that.

You hear that you need to do one thing from this guru and the other guru tells you to do another. It gets confusing at one point. Now, the one strategy that will never fail you is finding good partners. Basically, even internet marketing is about the “partners” you have and find. You need link partners to gain popularity in the search engines and when you want to sell a product, effectively, you need JV partners to get this thing rolling. Now why should I do a JV? Well, whenever you have a product and you want to launch it, it may be wise to find websites in your niche that have lists and may be interested in selling your products. And even if they don’t have a list, just ask them if they would like to promote your product on their website. What is in it for them? Great question… whenever your set-up a JV, you need to be sure there is something in it FOR THEM. So, depending on you focus you could offer them a commission of 50 up-to 100% on a product you sell. So how do you determine what kind of commission you will give to your affiliates? It really depends on your focus… if you want to build a list of paying customers quickly, your set-up a JV and give as much commission as possible to your JV partners but when it is for a product that you are going to sell as your main product, you could offer them a commission anywhere between the 50 and 65% (you still need to make a living yourself). In the first case the product doesn’t have to be extremely high priced, it is all about building that list with “paying customers”… your golden list. So, something like $9,95 would be just fine and perfect to attract partners and hand you over their lists. Especially if you give-out a commission of 100%. Now, the next thing you should do is make it as simple as possible for the JV partner. What I mean by that is that you shouldn’t let them do too much work. You should create all the messages for them (so they can send it out to their list), create a couple of banners that they can put up on their websites, text links, etc. Now, I have shown you the basics of setting up a JV. Marc Goldman knows a lot more about how-to set-up Joint Ventures, effectively. So, if you ware truly interested, I highly recommend you to do a search on him on Google. I want to stop by giving you step by step directions you can follow when your set-up your Joint Ventures: 1: Have a product to sell. You need to make sure you have some kind of product you could sell before you can set-up a JV. And this doesn’t have to be your own product, just think outside the box or check out this website for more information about Joint Ventures. 2: Set-up your website. When your set-up a JV for your own product, you need a website to promote that product. So, you will need to buy hosting and a domain name. I personally get my domains at GoDaddy and my hosting at HostGator. 3: Find JV partners. This is a very time-consuming task but very rewarding in the end. All you should do is look for websites in your niche and ask them if they want to be your JV partner. Try to call them if possible and otherwise send them an email about your affiliate program (how much they can make, other advantages for them). 4: Set-up and prepare for launch. If you want to learn more about how to set-up a launch, you should take a look at this website. He knows everything about launches and can most surely help your set-up a launch in your own niche. I will just cover some basics. What you need to do is make sure your follow ups are ready, that you start getting prospects before you launch and keep these prospects updated and interested about your product, create a sense of urgency like your product is the best they can get in your niche. And it will make sure that your partners will make more money and the next time you launch something, they will be happy to help you out. I hope this article has been useful and will help your set-up some explosive Joint Ventures in the future.

They usually both work to pay bills and expenses, often leaving their child with a babysitter or a day-care center. However, some parents cannot stand the thought of leaving their child with strangers. They feel the need to personally keep an eye on their child. To contribute with the household expenses, a stay at home parent usually starts his or her business at home. In the past, this could be cooking or baking food and sell it to their neighbors, but with today’s technology, the internet can produce a wider variety of businesses and broader number of customers. One type of online business is internet marketing. All a stay-at-home parent has to do is create a website and affiliate with other websites. This works by advertising the products of other websites on your website, the company you are advertising will usually give you a commission if a product has been sold as a result of your efforts. To be successful in this business, your website traffic should be high. Targeted traffic is also important to make sure that people who are visiting your website are at least interested to consider buying the products you are advertising. One great way to generate targeted traffic is to write an article about the product you are advertising. After you finished writing the article, submit it to article publishing websites. Include your website’s URL after the end of the article. Readers who are interested in the product will most likely visit your website Make sure to make your articles interesting and easy to read. Try to make your family and friends read the articles first and get their opinion before submitting it to the article-publishing website. The great thing about posting an article is that it is often free and free advertising is always good. Your website should also include details about the product you are advertising and should catch your website visitor’s attention the moment they enter your website. Add some articles about the pros and cons about the product, some reviews and customer’s testimonials. This is a great way to earn money at home. Another way to earn money at home is by using auction websites. You can auction practically anything. It is also a great way to get rid of unwanted items from your house, or selling your crafts, such as homemade knitted clothing or your own paintings. You can also buy items at auctions yourself and sell them at a slightly higher price. It is hard to believe, but there is always someone willing to buy your junk! Some people even buy collector cards, like for instance, baseball cards. Writing is also one great way to make money online while staying home. A number of companies hire freelance writers. This type of job can be fun and allows you to be creative and independent. A company usually pays you per article you write. Home based business is also great for students who want to either help their parents out with school expenses or simply earn some extra cash. The great thing about online business is that it does not require you to leave your home often. It is also great for parents who have children and cannot afford a day care center or a babysitter. It is also a great way to spend more quality time with their children and supervise them as they grow up. Chapter 2: Make Money, Grow Rich and Attain Financial Freedom! "Wealth is thoughts, not things." - Robert G. Allen “Money is not important.” It’s one of the biggest myths known to man. And it is one of the core reasons why the majority of the people are not wealthy… why the majority of people not attaining financial freedom. Tell this myth to the family who’s starving right now or to the family who needs money for some serious medical help for a member of their family. They will tell you how important money is. We have conditioned from day one to believe that money is not important. Wanting money is wrong and un-ethical. And yet, the entire world is running after money. Money is purely a way to appraise the amount of value you create for others. If you have a lot of money, it means you have created a lot of value for other people. If you don’t have the amount of money you would like to have, that simply means that you just haven’t yet found a way to generate the amount of value for others that you are capable of, or the value that you would like to. Lack of money also leads to many social problems. If we look at the countries, cities and particular places that are very poor, we’ll find usually more crime, more people taking advantage of weak, more diseases, more suffering, more deaths and no education at all. Of course, money is not the only important thing in life, but without it you just can’t survive. That is the basic fact. Money is pretty darned important especially in this pure materialistic age. To support your self and your family, to buy food, water, shelter, clothing, to pay medical bills, to socialize… you need money. With money only you could be able to support and help people around you, even your loved ones. All we know that these are all most important things.

As the saying goes, “Money can’t buy you happiness.” Or can it? Having a sufficient amount of money can certainly lower stress, but having an excess of it will not make you happier than anyone else. So, can money buy you happiness or not? Here are a few thoughts to ponder on the subject. Money Can Buy You a Limited Amount of Happiness Studies have shown that yes, having enough money to meet your needs and those of your family does bring happiness. People living in poverty are generally less happy than those whose needs are met. Being able to pay for your bills and having enough to get by financially will help you succeed in feeling happy. Excess Money Doesn’t Equal Excess Happiness Having more money than you need, however, will not bring you extra happiness. Money and happiness are not proportional. Someone with enough money to buy a large house and several cars will not necessarily have more happiness than another individual with exactly what they need. Money Brings Stresses of Its Own There is stress that goes along with having money. Whether you have a little or a lot, you likely know about this stress. There is the stress of knowing you need to spend what you have wisely, as well as the fact that people with ulterior motives are drawn to those who are financially wealthy. Not About What Comes in But What Goes Out It is not so much the amount of money that you make that ensures your happiness, but about what you are spending it on and where it is going on the way out. There are some principles for using money that can help you to feel more satisfied. Where you put your money and who receives it can make a difference as to whether you gained something by having had it. Spend on Experiences, Not Things Buying more things is not proven to make a person happy. Although investing in items that will last seems like a wise move, studies show that we tend to adjust to what we obtain. Having these things doesn’t continue bringing unlimited happiness. We are more likely to have long-term happiness when money is spent on experiences which will give us lasting memories. Whether this means going on vacation by yourself or with your family, or making time to do something fun every now and then… be sure to create experiences rather than purchasing something that will simply fade away over time. Give It Away Giving is one of the most satisfying things you can do with your money. Whether it is to charity or a friend in need, find a way to give back and share what you have. This is a way to spend that will bring long-term personal rewards. The short answer is no; you do not need money to be happy. Money can be useful, however, to prevent stress that can diminish the happiness that you do have. No matter what amount of money you have, use these tips to help achieve the level of happiness you desire, and live a life filled with joy. Chapter 2: Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff We have all heard that we shouldn’t sweat the small stuff. Letting oneself get stressed out over the little things in life is one of the biggest ways to bring unnecessary grief into life’s path. We can avoid a lot of negative feelings, and even health problems, simply by learning not to let the little things get to us. Focus on the Big Picture When something small happens that makes you want to rage, compare the moment’s significance to everything else going on in your own life, and in the world around you. You may have spilled your cake batter on the floor an hour before your guests are due to arrive. Are your friends still going to love you and enjoy the evening even if you don’t have a freshly baked cake for them? If so, maybe you should put your energy somewhere other than berating yourself for this small mistake. Remember That We All Make Mistakes When something small threatens to destroy your attitude and positive outlook, think about the fact that everyone makes mistakes. Whether it is yourself or someone else who caused the situation that feels like a train wreck, keep in mind that mistakes are a normal part of life that happen to everyone. Don’t let one bad moment take you by surprise. Forgive Others It can be hard to forgive someone else when it feels like they have brought you extra work and stress. When someone rear ends your vehicle, you may be tempted to lash out at them verbally. However, stop and think about how it may feel to be in their situation. Don’t act and feel as though you have never made a mistake, but choose empathy. Forgive Yourself Forgiving others can be a simple matter in comparison to forgiving ourselves. There are many moments that we treat ourselves worse than we would ever allow a friend to treat us. When you are having a difficult time forgiving yourself, think of how you would handle a similar mistake made by a good friend. Stop and think before bullying yourself, and consider seeking professional help if you can’t stop a cascade of negative thoughts every time you fall short of perfection. Ask Yourself If It Will Matter in Ten Years We all have problems, and generally at the time, any problem seems big. Perception is not always the truth, though, and it is up to us to put our situation into perspective so that we can properly deal with whatever comes our way. When something negative happens in your life, ask yourself if it will matter in ten years. If it won’t, let it go. If someone gives you the middle finger in traffic, you may be tempted to lose your cool, but it is simply not worth it. Save your emotions for things that are life changing and deserve your full attention. When something goes wrong, you have two choices. You can slip into a rage, or let it go. Making the choice not to sweat the small stuff will bring your life-changing happiness, and you will be thankful for your own shift in perspective.

Not all flowers are created equal when it comes to withstanding the heat of the summer sun and some require a little more care than others. Keep all of these things in mind when planning your summer garden and choose wisely according to the type of care you wish to provide. This is a general guide to the various types of plants that are well suited for a summer garden and not necessarily those that are well suited to rest side by side. Study the flowers you decide you would like to include in your summer garden in order to insure you keep those that love water and dislike sun away from those that thrive with little water and copious amounts of sun. In other words, you will need to conduct a more thorough study of the flowers you decide to include in your summer garden in order to determine the proper placement of these flowers for the most color, effect, and the best possible life for the flowers you choose. The following are some fun sun loving flowers you may wish to include in your summer garden. Geraniums are bright little splashes of color that are ideally suited for a summer garden. They happen to work well for creating borders or simply providing a highlight of color in a bed of green and do quite well in pots on their own or mixed with other colorful summer flowers. The Hibiscus is a beautiful spot of color that will lend a tropical feel to your summer garden. A welcome addition to many gardens they may grow quite tall so keep them to the back of the summer garden to allow the full array of color from all summer plants to capture the eyes of visitors. Marigolds are another popular addition to most summer gardens. With a wide array of colors from which to choose it is no small wonder that these flowers remain a popular favorite for sunny patches within the summer garden. Shade loving flowers also abound for summer gardens everywhere. Most gardeners find heavily shaded spots within their lawns or gardens to be a particular challenge. Perhaps some of these suggestions will alleviate that sense of challenge for you. Impatiens are widely popular choices for shady spaces and provide a wide range of bright colors perfect for creating fun and bright borders. The viola is another great brightly colored flower that is well suited for borders or potted arrangements, whichever suits your particular summer garden needs. Mimulus is another excellent choice for color in your summer garden and may tolerate partial sun quite well if you're looking for a nice border plant. If you prefer more dramatic coloring in your summer garden you might be interested in including Lobelia or ageratum, which both have beautiful blue hues in your summer garden plans. Of course, this is only a small sampling of the many bright and beautiful summer flowers that can make a real splash in your summer garden. Be sure to check out the color offerings of each and specific care instructions to make sure that they are a genuine match not only for your personal tastes but also the landscape and terrain of your garden and the other plants that will be included in your summer garden. The planning stage is often the hardest work that many people put into their summer gardens but the payoff for all this proper planning is quite often rich and beautiful. Failing to plan properly can result in a great deal of wasted time and effort on your behalf and a less than stellar summer garden. Chapter 2: Building a Summer Garden with Kids We love our children and we want to teach them to value the things that are important to us. These things include morals, integrity, ingenuity, and an appreciation for the things in life that we consider beautiful and worth expending our energy, time, and effort in order to create. One of those things that many of us love sharing with our children is our love of gardening. Whether you are creating a spectacular garden worthy of acclaim, fame, and blue ribbons everywhere or a simple garden that will hold pretty flowers and a few favorite vegetables there are many lessons that your children can learn from working the earth by your side. The first, and perhaps best, lesson that most children learn when working in the garden is that life works in cycles. This is an important lesson for children, as it is a lesson that will be repeated often throughout the course of their lives. Of course, this is only one of the many lessons that gardening will teach but gardening is one of the kindest ways I've ever seen this particular lesson learned and it helps ease children into those times when lessons about the cycle of life are not so kindly or gently presented. The next lesson that gardening teaches children is that persistent effort often pays out with delightful results. Whether their gardening efforts yielded sweet peppers or pretty flowers, there is often a desired result that is achieved through gardening. If you really want to capture your children's attention when it comes to gardening choose a fast-growing plant for their first gardening experience. The ability to see the fruits of their labor quickly appear is often one of the greatest gifts we can give our children.

Here is a list of the top ten super foods that most health experts agree on. You should tell everyone you know about these foods and enjoy them at your next meal. From fruits and vegetables, to whole grains, nuts, beans and legumes, this power-packed nutritional inventory will take you into the best years of your life and beyond. Fruits 1. Cantaloupe Only a quarter of cantaloupe provides almost all the vitamin A needed in one day. Since the beta-carotene in a cantaloupe converts to vitamin A, you get both nutrients at once. These vision-strengthening nutrients may help reduce the risk of developing cataracts. Like an orange, cantaloupe is also an excellent source of vitamin C, which helps our immune system. It is also being a good source of vitamin B6, dietary fiber, folate, niacin, and potassium, which helps maintain good blood sugar levels and metabolism. This pale orange power fruit may help reduce our risk of heart disease, stroke, and cancer. 2. Blueberries These mildly sweet (and sometimes tangy) berries offer a high capacity to destroy free radicals that can cause cancer. Low in calories, they offer antioxidant phytonutrients called anthocyanidins, which enhance the effects of vitamin C. These antioxidants may help prevent cataracts, glaucoma, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, peptic ulcers, heart disease and cancer. Vegetables 3: Tomatoes Tomatoes help us fight against heart disease and cancers such as colorectal, prostate, breast, endometrial, lung, and cancer of the pancreas. Tomatoes are also good sources of vitamin C, A, and K. In a 2004 study, it was found that tomato juice alone can help reduce blood clotting. Fresh, organic tomatoes deliver three times as much of the cancer-fighting carotenoid lycopene. Even organic ketchup is better for you than regular ketchup! Look for tomato paste’s and sauces that contain the whole tomato (including peels) because you will absorb 75% more lycopene and almost two times the amount of beta-carotene. 4: Sweet Potatoes As an excellent source of vitamin, A, C, and manganese, sweet potatoes are also a good source of copper, dietary fiber, vitamin B6, potassium and iron. Those who are smokers or prone to second- hand smoke may benefit greatly from this root vegetable that helps protect us against emphysema. For a unique dessert, cube a cooked sweet potato and slice a banana. Then lightly pour maple syrup over the top and add a dash or two of cinnamon. Add chopped walnuts for an even healthier kick. 5: Spinach and Kale A cancer-fighter and cardio-helper, spinach and kale top the list as far as green leafy vegetables are concerned. Much like broccoli, they provide an excellent source of vitamin A and C. Kale is a surprisingly good source of calcium at 25% per cup, boiled. Vitamin K is abundantly found in spinach as well, with almost 200% of the Daily Value available, to help reduce bone loss. Whole Grains 6: Whole Grain Bread, Pasta and Brown Rice Whether it’s bread or pasta, the first thing to check for when purchasing whole grain bread and pasta is to make sure it is 100% whole grain. Remember to check the list of ingredients on the package. For example, look for the exact phrase "whole wheat flour" as one of the first ingredients listed in whole wheat bread. If it’s not listed as such, then it’s not whole grain. Wheat bran is a cancer-fighting grain that also helps us regulate our bowel movements. Brown rice is also a better choice than refined grain (white rice) for the same reason as choosing whole wheat bread. Whole wheat flour or brown rice that turns into white flour or white rice actually destroys between 50-90% of vitamin B3, vitamin B1, vitamin B6, manganese, phosphorus, iron, and all of the dietary fiber and essential fatty acids we need. Even when processed white flour or white rice is "enriched," it is not in the same form as the original unprocessed kind. In fact, 11 nutrients are actually lost and are not replaced during the "enrichment" process! Nuts 7: Walnuts These nuts are packed with omega-3 fats, which is one of the "good" fats. A quarter cup of walnuts would take care of about 90% of the omega-3s needed in one day. Walnuts provide many health benefits including cardiovascular protection, better cognitive function, anti-inflammatory advantages relating to asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory skin diseases like eczema and psoriasis. They can even help against cancer and also support the immune system. Beans and Legumes 8: Black Beans and Lentils While black beans are a good source of fiber that can lower cholesterol, so are lentils. The high fiber content in both black beans and lentils helps to maintain blood sugar levels. Also, a fat-free, high quality protein with additional minerals and B-vitamins, black beans and lentils fill you up and don’t expand your waistline. A complete, one-stop source of using a variety of beans and lentils comes easy when you can find a bag of 15-bean mix (includes black beans, lentils, navy, pinto, red, kidney, etc.) at the grocery store. Consider making a delicious soup with the addition of tomatoes, onions, garlic and your favorite spices with this bean mixture.

At the root of all of these marketing strategies is keyword research. Knowing which keywords you need to target and promote, can be the difference between the life and death of your business. A majority of your online marketing is reliant upon keywords, so you need to give them the attention they deserve. You can start with Google's keyword planner tool, but there are many services that can take the baseline list. Google provides you and turns them into a massive list of keywords. When you start spending money with Google Ads, you'll quickly learn which keywords are the most profitable so you can begin to focus your resources on those ones. Until then, you need to cast a wide net because you don't know which ones will be profitable. You can find the steps for completing this process at SEOnick.net #15 - How to Create a Form-Based Website You’d be amazed at the data that you can collect when you provide a highly interactive landing page that contains a form or survey interface. With Typeform (https://typeform.com), you can create a super slick looking from and embed it onto your site that will create a lead generating landing page that not only looks great, but that is fun for the user. They provide an enormous suite of integrations, and you can connect your form to a ton of different services, like MailChimp. Once you get comfortable with Typeform, you can start to use their conditional logic to ask respondents different questions that are based on how they answered the previous question. #16 - How to Automate Lead Scoring to Funnel Leads to Specific Landing Pages Imagine a web form that can collect lead data, score each lead, and direct them to a specific landing page, based on their score. This could ensure that each qualified lead would be taken to the page the best fits their needs to increase the chance that you’ll convert them. With the help of Formstack (https://formstack.com), you can do just that. Formstack allows you to set up a form that will score the key questions, with a hidden field for the total score. Based on the total score they receive, the user will get a different confirmation message and call to action that you set up. You can use custom messages for short and simple calls to action and use external landing pages for more detailed offerings. #17 - How to Get The Advice You Need Without a Huge Network As a business owner having a fantastic network of contact is worth its weight in gold. However, it can take years to build a network of trusted individuals and can take years of your time investing in relationships without taking and adding value to their lives. There are many sites and services that you can use to get the right advice from people who have the right experiences, at just the right time. With a bit of research and some effort on your part, you can get solid advice on the challenges that you're facing and use the information you get to make the best decisions for your business. You can use sites like Inbound.org (https://inbound.org), Guides.co (https://guides.co) or Clarity.fm (https://clarity.fm) to get the advice you need when you don’t have a network. #18 - How to Start a Blog in Under 5-Minutes Launching a blog is easy to do, and it engages your brand with your customers while providing free organic traffic for years. The updated content on your site also signals to Google that you're still in business. When you hear about content marketing, a lot of times it simply involves creating amazing content through your company blog and then amplifying the reach of the material through email, social media, and other paid channels. #19 - How to Start Building Your Email List Email marketing is the highest converting channel that you have at your disposal. One of your top priorities as a business owner is to collect as many qualified email addresses that you can. When you have a healthy email list, you can market to a pre-engaged audience and create massive, custom audiences based on the characteristics of your list. Email marketing continues to remain one of the highest converting channels in a business’ marketing tool kit. #20 - How to Hack a Marketing Plan for Your Business Launch When it comes time to market your product launch, you’ll want to save time determining the best marketing channels to utilize. In their book “Traction,” Justin Mares and Gabriel Weinberg introduce a methodology called Bullseye, which helps you brainstorm, analyze, and rank various marketing concepts over 19 different proven marketing channels. Going through the exercise will help you to select three channels that you can test inexpensively and in parallel to hopefully find a promising channel that you can optimize and scale. Chapter Two – Hacks for Transitioning to Growth After you've proven that your product will fit the market, the next thing that you'll need to do is to start searching for growth opportunities. This is where you will be more scientist than a marketer. At this point, you want to begin to think about building marketing machines in your business that provide predictable, scalable, and dependable revenue. You'll want to approach this phase of your business with an open mind and a healthy curiosity to experiment with different marketing opportunities, different channels, and different funnels. #21 – How to Create a Viral Pre-Launch Signup Form It may sound impossible, but you can acquire two, three, four or more users in one fell swoop when you create a viral pre-launch signup form. While you may already have a landing page for your product that allows people to leave their email and join a waiting list, but too often that's where things grind to a halt. However, you can create a viral sign-up form to keep the traction moving forward. With a viral pre-launch form, users who share your app with a certain number of friends get put on your launch list. Those who share more get to move up high on the waitlist. After users sign up for your waitlist, they receive a custom URL that they can share with their friends. You can track the URL and set up an email auto-responder series to send out emails to notify the waitlister each time someone has signed up as a result of their invites. Once they've invited the required number of people, they get a final email letting them know they've made your launch party. This can help to create tremendous buzz and excitement around your product launch.

Sure, there are things that can go wrong, but if you plan your teleseminar well, most of them can be avoided. Let's review what you need to do to ensure your teleseminar will go as smoothly as possible: 1. Choose a good topic. Choosing a topic for your teleseminar is much like choosing a topic for a blog post. You don't want something too broad, or you'll have no focus. And you don't want something too narrow, or you will run out of things to say. Instead, you want to balance your need to cover new ground with your need to keep the length and breadth of your teleseminar manageable. For your first go-round, I suggest keeping things tight and focused. You should also plan keeping your call to an hour or so. Any longer and you may burn yourself out or run into more problems than you're prepared to deal with! Start by brainstorming a list of possible topics for your teleseminar. When it comes to scope, ideal topics are suitable for magazine articles rather than books! In short, go through your list of topics and decide for each one whether it is so broad you'd need a book to cover it, or if you could do it justice in a magazine article. Then make a list of your top picks. Can't pick just one? Remember, you can always hold another teleseminar -- and you should! Right now, you're just getting ready for the first one, so select a topic you feel comfortable with. 2. Decide on an expert. One of the greatest advantages of teleseminars is that you don't have to be the expert; you can interview someone else with more experience. You can also hold a dialog between the two of you, or you can do the whole thing yourself. It's entirely up to you. 3. Pick a day and time. Next, you need to pick a day and time. It's easy to drive yourself nuts trying to find a day and time that works for everyone in your target audience. Just realize that no matter what you do, you simply won't be able to pick a time that is convenient for everyone! Instead, pick a time that works for you, and go with it. You can always make the audio available later if you like. 4. Decide on whether to charge or not. Are you planning to charge for your teleseminar? You'll want to decide upfront whether to charge or not, and what you should offer as upsells. In a later section, we're going to cover fee vs. no fee teleseminars in more detail. That's it! These are the key decisions you need to make before you get started because they will affect a lot of your other activities. Just keep in mind that they're not necessarily either/or decisions. There are a range of options you can select, so let's discuss those in greater detail, starting with inviting an expert. Inviting an Expert One of the easiest ways you could host a successful teleseminar is by inviting an expert. Having an expert take part in your teleseminar has a number of advantages: • You don't have to rely on your own expertise – your expert will be there to educate your audience. • You'll achieve expert status by association. Think of Oprah: She isn't a weight loss expert, but because she has interviewed dozens of them, she is seen as a health and fitness guru in her own right (even in light of her ongoing battles with her own weight!). • You can bring new expertise to your audience. Offering an added perspective to your audience raises your value in their eyes. You become a “connector,” someone who knows all the right people. • You can get in front of new prospects. Many experts have audiences or lists of their own, and their “tribe” will follow them to your sphere of influence. If they like what they see, they will stay a while – and maybe even buy something! • You can do soft-sells on affiliate products. If you are an affiliate for a book on, say, cheerleading, you can bring the author in front of your audience for a Q&A session. Then, when the author mentions her book, you provide your affiliate link and get a commission for every book your audience buys. So what do you need to watch out for when you're selecting an expert to interview? Here are several factors to consider before issuing an invitation: • Are they a good fit for your audience? Don't invite the cheerleading expert when your list consists of survivalists and expect to get a warm response. • Are they personable and good at public speaking? Few things are more painful than listening to a poorly prepared, poorly skilled public speaker – even in an interview setting. Have a screening phone call or listen to other interviews with your prospective guest before you issue an invitation. • Do they have something valuable to say? Make sure you're spending your time – and your audience's time – wisely by offering something unique, interesting, educational, or entertaining. • Do they have a large list? This isn't a must-have, but it definitely helps if your speaker has a large audience of his or her own and is willing to promote your teleseminar. • Do they have products or services to promote? If you are hoping to earn commissions by promoting their products or services, find out how their affiliate program works, and if their products or services are right for your audience.

Just pack your bags and float around on a houseboat or a yacht for a few weeks, enjoying the sunshine, fishing and swimming and visiting towns along the shoreline. It's comparable in cost to staying in a hotel, with so much less hassle. And it's great for the whole family, especially the kids. Children always find entertainment on and around water. They swim and snorkel, while adults relax in a fold-up chair with a cool drink and a book. Boating holidays, as opposed to travel on large cruise ships, offer a more intimate and relaxed voyage without the bustle of thousands of mega-ship passengers all around you. And the venues are more intriguing than the tourist traps visited by the big cruise ships. The smaller boats are surprisingly well-serviced, with features such as showers and sometimes bicycles for tours around the countryside during stops. Many online services throughout the world offer trips on local canals and lakes surrounded by historic locations. What about a canal trip throughout Holland? This seafaring nation was built on marshland, and vestiges of the marsh still remain in the form of canals crisscrossing the whole country connecting quaint towns (with architecture carefully preserved, thanks to Dutch laws against the remodeling of historic buildings) to cosmopolitan cities such as Amsterdam. England and Wales also have canals, are a multitude of tours are available, such as Langley, Four Counties and Cheshire Rings, Oxford and Avon canals, and the river Thames. Unknown to most tourists, there is a network of waterways that traverse England from Yorkshire to Avon and into Wales. See different historic towns without battling holiday drivers on Europe's crowded roads (and believe me, if you are used to driving only on North America's wide freeways, European traffic will give you a shock). In Scotland, how about a boating holiday on 23-mile long Loch Ness? There's no guarantee Nessie will show up, but you are bound to be impressed by the rugged grandeur of the Great Glen and the battle-scarred castles surrounding it. It is one of Europe's most spellbinding locations, and a pleasant surprise to those under the impression that there is no wilderness left in Europe. Eagles, ospreys and other rare birds and even otters live in this pristine environment. Needless to say, opportunities for fishing abound. Visit the Loch Ness Center at Drumnadrochit to learn the in-depth history of the area. Don't forget to consider a romantic boating holiday on the waterways of France. The canals of Brittany, Burgundy, Alsace, River Charente, River Lot and the South of France offer beauty, culture, and inimitable French food and wine enroute. In North America, the Great Lakes region is so large it is impossible to see it all on one 2-week boating holiday. The St. Lawrence River is one of the most important rivers on the North American continent. It begins in the Great Lakes, leading to as vast estuary before ending in the Atlantic Ocean. It is approximately 500 miles long, and forms the border between Canada and the USA for approximately 100 miles. Sail up the St. Lawrence canal on a tour into French Canada for spectacular northern scenery and wildlife such as Beluga whales. While on the topic of North American boating holiday destinations, let's not forget Lake Tahoe. This is a perennially popular tourist destination, and every American who has the chance should visit this unique lake at least once. There are Emerald Bay sightseeing cruises on the Tahoe Queen, and rides on the M.S. Dixie II paddle wheeler. There is also a 44-foot trimaran and 55-foot catamaran. Small family boats are available for private family rental. Lake Tahoe offers many upscale resorts and restaurants as well as historic tours. Chapter 2: Boat Towing Boat towing or trailering across the United States is subject to different state laws as far as maximum speeds, trailer equipment requirements, trailer dimensions, brakes, insurance, and accessories such as reflectors are concerned. A separate permit for boat towing in each state is also required. Most Americans live within 100 miles of boatable waterways, and boat trailering is something of a national craze. Statistics show that the easiest boats to tow on a regular basis measure within twenty-five feet in length, since these allow for easier maneuvering on highways. Boat-towing vehicles and trailers differ quite a bit from other kinds because of the unique shape and dimensions of these crafts. There is a mind-boggling array of towable boats available on the market today. These include air boats, fishing boats, bow riders, canoes, cuddy cabins, day sailor’s, deck boats, sailing dinghies, flats boats, jet boats, inflatable boats, and a host of others. If one isn’t an expert, it is important to follow a trailering-safety checklist while towing. The checklist should include guidelines to loading, leveling, driving, unloading, and launching. Probably one of the most common and dreaded hazards that all boat towers face is compromised tightness of the nuts on the trailer wheels. These tend to loosen with distance covered. Wheel maintenance in all its aspects should be a primary concern of every boat trailer owner. As with most other kinds of towing, each state has its own set of trailering laws that will prescribe limits to weight, speed, and minimum equipment. These are strictly enforced, and it is wise to be prepared for all eventualities.

Creative visualization is a technique that involves using your imagination to come up with and visualize scenarios in your mind's eye. When you use visualization techniques on a regular basis, you compose a mental image of something and then concentrate on the situation or image for some time. The first belief with the process of creative visualization is that when you change your thoughts and perceptions, you can alter your reality. Many influential, wealthy, and successful people in the world are convinced that by visualizing a specific scenario or behaviors, you can adjust the energy patterns in your life and bring your desires and goals to you faster. Converting Your Dreams to Reality Creative visualization utilizes the power of your mind to make any goal or a dream come true. Think back to your best accomplishment. Remember how fulfilling it felt, basking in the glory of your success and achievement? Think back to the time when the desire to accomplish that goal was merely a seed in your mind or an idea, and you said yes to it. What were your thoughts then? Were you afraid and worried about the endeavor, or where you enthusiastic and excited? Did you visualize failure or success? Did you imagine yourself in last place, or standing proudly on the podium? When you were first considering this goal, you imagined it as if it were already accomplished. This is known as creative visualization. When you repeatedly visualize a person, situation, object, or event, you dictate to your subconscious mind that this is what you need and what you want to seek. Creative visualization is not magic; rather it is the natural process involving using the power of your mind to imprint a command and a desire into your minds, as well as project the right type of energetic vibrations that attract your goal. How and Why Visualization Works Your subconscious mind acknowledges the thoughts that you repeat often, and then it changes your mindset accordingly, followed by your actions and habits. This process brings you into direct contact with new circumstances, situations, and people. Your thoughts are charged with a new creative power that can shape your life and bring you what you think about. It is believed that these thoughts move from one mind to the next, and when they are strong enough, other people that are in a position to help you accomplish your goals and desires can pick up on them unconsciously. It is essential to understand that thoughts are energy, particularly a strong idea, that is filled with emotional power. In fact, thoughts can alter the balance of the energy around you while changing the environment accordingly. Most people tend to repeat specific ideas often. They concentrate their thoughts on their current situation and environment and create and recreate similar kinds of circumstance and events. This process reserves the same status quo and world. Fortunately, you can change your life's film by merely adjusting your thoughts. When you visualize different situations and circumstances, you can create a different reality. You aren't using magical powers to accomplish this, but you are merely using natural laws and powers that everyone possesses. It isn't something tangible that you have to change. You just need to focus on adjusting your thoughts and attitude, which will then change and re-mold your world. For instance, if you live in a small apartment and want a larger one, rather than complaining about your fate and lack of finances, all you need to do is change your attitude and thoughts, and visualize living in a larger apartment. Creative visualization can help you achieve several significant things. While the power of creative visualization is a great power, there are certain limits to using it. People often limit themselves and fail to look beyond a small, restricted circle. They define themselves by their thoughts and beliefs. You limit yourself to the life you know. The more open-minded you can become, and the bigger you dare to think, the greater your possibilities and opportunities. Limitations are within your mind, and it is up to you to rise above them. This means that your thoughts have a lot of power. Why Creative Visualization is So Powerful You've probably heard that you are what you think. That's because people think in images. Even as you read a book, your mind is composing mental pictures according to how the words are written. You also create in images. Think back to the last time that you planned to do something with your friends. It takes visualization to prepare. You don't have a spreadsheet or calendar in your head, only mental movies. You image you and your friends doing something, picturing the experiences as you wish them to unfold. Images also have great manifesting power that increases with repetition and concentration. A single thought, such as a single raindrop, can't make a garden grow and thrive. However, many thoughts that are convincing mental images with powerful emotions attached to it can create a sustaining rain that helps your garden grow. Other people will pick up on your thoughts unconsciously. The more focus and well defined your thoughts are, the more the appropriate circumstances and people will appear in your life, and the quicker your vision will come true. When you image something, you compose an emotion around it. Feeling good, which is a positive emotion, is a reward. Generally, the more you think about your goal, the better you feel, and the higher your mental vibration, which will help to manifest the mental emotion and image into reality.
