I first read this story in a book by Zig Ziglar.
A stone-cutter sits in front of a huge rock, pounding away at it
with his tiny hammer. It looks pretty hopeless. The man is so
puny, his tool so small, the boulder so massive.
Yet, he persists. Bam. Bam. Bam.
With each stroke, he gets a little weaker. There is no change
in the rock. It all seems fruitless. Still, he persists.
Bam... bam... bam... again and again. 25 times. 100 times.
500 times. Nothing.
750. 999. ONE THOUSAND... when, all of a sudden,
C-R-A-C-K
The boulder splits apart and shatters into a million pieces!
To someone watching, it appears it was that one single blow,
the last one, that broke that huge chunk of stone into pieces.
But the stone-cutter knew - and so do you - that it was the
COMBINED effort of all the 999 strokes that went before.
In a nutshell, this summarizes success on the Internet, too.
And a GREAT example of this is my friend, Kim Standerline. A
nurse in the British NHS, Kim is an avid internet marketer,
and a VERY helpful person. We've known each other for around
4 years, and planned a joint project - a 'Doctor-Nurse' thing.
But unfortunately, I couldn't follow through. Had too many
other projects underway and simply didn't have time for more.
You'd imagine Kim would shelve it away for the future - but no.
She went ahead on her own, with help from a partner, and has
come up with an amazing niche marketing program I'm kicking
myself for not being a part of.
Yesterday, I spent some time looking around the membership
area, and LOVE it. If you have *any* interest in the broad
niche Kim has targeted, you owe it to yourself to take a look
at this offer.

I'm throwing in some exclusive bonuses for members on my list
who sign up this week - and they will help you get even more
from your membership. No clues about what the bonuses will be
- it's a SURPRISE :)
And if you are NOT interested in signing up, your time will not
be wasted.
Here's why.
* You will learn by example. See how simple and elegant Kim's
new project is. Can you do something like it in YOUR niche?
* You'll get inspired by her persistence. This is Kim's first
big success in several years of work online. I'd like to help
her make it a 5-figure launch - and she's very close to it.
* You will meet a very niche (oops, I mean NICE) person. Kim
Standerline is a nurse. Helping people is second nature to
her. Get to know her and observe her 'system'. It works.
Ok, now you've read this, go on to the site and take a look.
The membership slots are almost gone (less than 40% left) plus
Kim's thinking about raising the price to reflect the real
value in this package.

Every day, several remarkable things cross my desk, my mind and my computer screen.
I love sharing them with you. When I send them by email, filters keep many of them out of your inbox.
That's why you have...

Remarkable is in the eye of the beholder. If the target market
wants to hear about it and wants to talk about it,
then it's remarkable. Then it's a
Purple Cow.
