AFFILIATE LANDMINES baffles me.
It is a great concept, the members area has some great learning tools,
yet not many seem interested in signing up even at the special discount
pre-launch price!
Yet, too many folks dream of being SUPER affiliates... but how are you
going to get there without the tools and the knowledge?
Check this out - AFFILIATE LANDMINES

Do you DREAM?
Too many of us are afraid to dream.
Why?
Because dreaming is POWERFUL. It unleashes some primal energy
hidden within, and literally FORCES you to do something to make
the dream real.
And it's uncomfortable. Hard. Even stressful.
So we often make excuses NOT to dream.
But at the same time, each of us - more so, those who frequent
this forum and see other dreams come true - KNOW we have within
us the seeds of greatness, possess the resources to make every
dream come true.
It's just that it ain't gonna happen by itself - you've got to
take ACTION.
Some months back, I was giving my little girl an education in
this subject. She wanted a Barbie doll (what's it with young
girls, they can't seem to resist a Barbie!?)
Anyway, I told her the 3 step process... DREAM, PLAN, TAKE
ACTION.
She already had the dream, all she had to do was make a plan -
and execute it. I was surprised when, a day later, she came back
with 3 ideas... and finally deciding upon one of them, carried it
through for a couple of weeks, arm-twisting family and friends to
buy her hand-crafted wall-hangings... quickly raising the funds
for her doll.
3 weeks later, her dream was reality.
If a 7-year old can do it with single-minded determination, I'm
sure anyone else with better resources and skills can manage it.
In most cases, we don't know the best way forward. Or think we
don't have necessary skills. Or fear the price of success.
Unfortunately, far too often, this makes us give up and choose a
path of 'averageness' and 'mediocrity' - because it is
'comfortable'. But that spark of restlessness refuses to go away
- and if you're lucky, persistent, adamant or just plain
stubborn, you finally decide to listen to that voice... and
proceed to live your dream.
My personal dream is slowly taking shape. It has taken VERY long.
But then, it is a very ambitious dream, too. Every morning, I
awake feeling grateful for the little progress I'm making toward
it on a daily basis.
An eye-opening guide to goal setting and dreaming big dreams is
Paul Myers' nice little ebook (I bought resale rights to it, but
can't remember my link just now!). An inspiring lecture I once
heard by Mark Victor Hansen expanded my mental horizons in
unimaginable ways. Two great books by Mark are "The One Minute
Millionaire" and "Cracking the Millionaire Code".
Mark is amazingly inspirational because he doesn't dream in one
area - he dreams in multiple areas. Just a few examples of goals
he mentioned...
- to plant 1 BILLION trees - to make 1 million millionaires - to
sell a million copies of his next book - in ONE day! - to sell a
billion copies of it ultimately - to save the ozone layer
... and many many more
That's the magical power of dreams.
They attract like-minded supporters. John Harricharan, author of
'The Power Pause', once told me many years back that when you
dream - and stick with your dream - the Universe has a strange
habit of bringing together the elements necessary for its
fulfillment.
At the time, it sounded wierd and 'way out there'. Events over
the years have proved the validity of the concept, though I'm
still at a loss to understand the mechanism behind this.
In any case, DREAM. Dream BIG. Believe in your dreams.
And in time, they will come true.

The Heart Kids Blogathon
The Heart Kids Blogathon website is getting a new facelift. Take a look and let me know what you think about it...
An interesting study of the selling process...
I wrote a special report - about a recent experience which led to my spending a few hours analyzing 2 sales processes, comparing one against the other.
The result? A short special report titled "Two Special Offers"
