So, I presume you want to generate consistent,
predictable and long-term residual income from
your home business opportunity? If yes, then,
let’s eliminate any and all Mind Viruses you
have contracted over the years that prevented
you from developing a Millionaire Mindset
and achieving financial prosperity. If this
sounds reasonable then, continue to review
the information contained in this brief report
so you can attain success.
Firstly let’s define Millionaire Mindset and
Mind Virus, so this report makes sense and
you can determine how severe you have been
infected by factors that keep you poor and
self-doubting about your abilities. Millionaire
Mindset is a pattern of thinking that motivates
the individual to overcome challenges and achieve
objectives that enhance one’s personal well being.
Basically, “It is all about continued advancement in
every area of your life”. “There should always be a
desire in us to grow, to increase, and to go one level
better than we’ve ever been able to achieve so far”.
Now, a Mind Virus is a disease that produces a
pattern of thinking that “limits your opportunities
for success because it will cause you to see everything
as negative, as threats and as problems”. Well,
generating consistent income is obviously a tough
task if, one’s thought pattern is incapable of seeking
a solution to a problem that could yield financial riches.
How do successful people continue to achieve
success and continue to grow beyond their past
achievements? Let’s look at a solution, which
would consist of changing our pattern of thinking,
or more accurately change our philosophy.
Success is an internal process that begins in the
mind; therefore, to win one must be willing to
discard the old negative thought patterns that are
unproductive and develop a new pattern of
thinking that is proactive and committed to
achieving one’s objectives. Hence, a shift in
thinking and continued execution of that
new philosophy is all it takes.
Now, are you ready to invest in yourself
and receive solid training from an Internet
multi-millionaire, who will train your mind
and function as your new skill-model, so
you will develop into a successful marketer?
If yes, then, click on the link below:

An appreciation for the turbulent life and undeniable talent of Amy Winehouse. Dead at 27, July 23, 2011. By Dr. Jeffrey Lant
Amy Jade Winehouse was exactly the woman your mother was terrified you'd become... and nagged at you to avoid. She covered her body with old-time sailor tattoos... had a beehive style hair-do that looked like it was construction art... popped pills like juju beans... drank like a fish and then became a "bad drunk"... found men, let them abuse her, then ditched them... to do it all over again. And, if this were not enough, she experimented with every drug her international contacts could get her... then went through some more.
Yeah, she was a mess alright... but there was one redeeming grace... and that was the lady had talent... and an outsized personality that enabled her to showcase her works... and (when she was at her best) wow the folks... while changing the outmoded verities in the musical world... where she was a seismic force smoking out hypocrisies, superficialities, and any hint of silly sweetness. She was authentic to her fingertips... and that made a lot of people -- including mothers with young girls -- plenty nervous.
Now this volcanic force is dead, aged just 27, and we are left to wonder at why she gave up everything she loved -- including her very life -- to feed her destructive passions. A good place to look for clues is in her prize-winning 2007 tune "Rehab". Go to any search engine now. Play the song once or twice, and pay particular attention to the lyrics... "They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'." And then the kicker we all knew to be true, "Yeah, I'm outta control." She was right... and it was the tragedy of her life.
She did what she wanted... with whom she wanted... where she wanted.. when she wanted. She knew what was acceptable behavior... she ignored it to achieve who she was. If that upset others, too bad. Her need to behave in ways you found selfish, reprehensible, ridiculous made her maddeningly impossible to be around; you never knew what was coming next... because she never knew what she'd be doing next. It was an exhausting way to live.... and no one knew it better than she did and in moments of clarity she screamed for help "I don't ever wanna drink again". But she did drink... and smoke... and shoot up... and inhale... engaging in every form of abuse she could think of, devise or learn from her cadre of fellow travelers, each going to hell in their own fashion....
But through it all there was the music and the talent that produced it. And if we must condemn her, let us do so for this reason: that she abused her talent, wasted her talent, insulted her talent, and treated her talent with contempt, with every injection risking it, threatening it, threatening all. For this she deserves the strongest possible condemnation...
.... Amy Winehouse knew this. But as time went on, it didn't matter anymore... she knew she was on the road to oblivion. "Can you blame me for being a slave to my passion?" Yes, most assuredly we can... because her passion was not ingestion and self abuse (though it seemed so)... her passion was the music she created... the sound she shaped... the impacting words... these things were her passion and she squandered these with too little remorse and regret. Damn her.
The beginning.
Winehouse was born September 14, 1983 in the Southgate area of north London to a Jewish family whose inclination to jazz later influenced her work. She was the younger of two children (older brother Alex) of Mitchell Winehouse, taxi driver, and Janis Winehouse (nee Seaton), pharmacist. Mitchell often sang Frank Sinatra songs to young Amy, who took to a constant habit of singing to the point that teachers found it difficult keeping her quiet in class. Even then it was clear she had talent... Like other young artists there were many false starts... she got her first guitar at 13 and began writing music a year later. She also began working at this time, for openers a showbiz journalist for the World Entertainment News Network, also singing with a local group the Bolsha Band.
But her passion was the all-girl groups of the '60's, particularly The Ronettes, her favorite; it's where she got her "instantly recognizable" beehive hair-do and Cleopatra make-up.
Break-through.
Just 20, her debut album "Frank" was released October 20, 2003. Produced mainly by Salaam Remi, many songs were influenced by jazz and, apart from two covers, every song was co-written by Winehouse. The reviews were good and brought comparisons to Macy Gray and Sarah Vaughan. In due course, "Frank" garnered a host of awards and honors... and reached platinum sales levels. The little Jewish girl from north London had her foot on the ladder... but as usual did it her way. Instead of engaging in the usual puffery, she said of this album she was just "80 percent" behind it. Her producers fumed... but the world smiled; here was a person who told the (often inconvenient) truths... and we all liked her better.
International success.
In these days, Winehouse was a prodigious worker, an artist who never tolerated the second rate in herself, or anyone else. She knew what she wanted from herself... and from you. "Back to Black" was the result, released in the U.K. October 30, 2006. It became the best-selling U.K. album in 2007, selling a staggering 1.85 million copies over the year. The money guys heard the clink of coin... and were willing to tolerate Winehouse's often eccentric behavior because she delivered the bucks.
The most influential song on this album was "Rehab". "Time" magazine called it the "Best Song" of 2007. Interviewer Josh Tyrangiel praised Winehouse for her
confidence, saying "What she is is mouthy, funny, sultry, and quite possibly crazy," and "It's impossible not to be seduced by her originality." The world agreed; prizes and honors were showered upon her... and, of course, money, lots and lots of it. All she had to do was keep her demons under control. But who can promise so much, even with the entire world and its golden prizes at stake? She still had higher to fly... the farther to fall when her punishing descent began. Let's stay a little on the lady still ascending, for her fall is painful, distressing, the stuff of agony and dismay.
In 2008 she won Grammy Awards in the categories for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for the single "Rehab," while her album "Back to Black" was nominated for Album of the Year and won Best Pop Vocal award. She was now well and truly at the top of the world... for an instant, until the contrary forces she had kept in balance, began pulling in opposite directions she could no longer control. Thus did mighty mayhem break loose... and Amy Winehouse lose her ascendancy in the world... and, far too soon, her life.
She was drawn to, loved, married, dallied with and tolerated, all the wrong people... the weak men who pandered to her vices and abused her body, her weaknesses and kindness; the ones who fed her pills and substances of every kind which she never needed and was unable to resist. Thanks to the constant lurid tales in the tabloids, we all saw it. Hers was a tragedy occurring before our eyes, an irresistible inevitability which at last on July 23 bore its strange fruit. The scene was dirty, squalid, disgusting... with honors, awards, trophies strewn about the place, indicators that life was vanity, all vanity. Short, ironic, painful, pride abashed and all alone.
So did Amy Winehouse kill herself, her talent and her many dreams... but she could not kill her music, rhythmic, honest to a fault, intriguing, bold. Here was the woman at her best... and now this best must stand against the ages, to remind us of her integrity and audacity, for she had these in abundance, and so should we remember her.

Business REALLY Customer Centered?
by Dr. Jeffrey Lant
Ok, we all know that getting and keeping customers is the lifeblood of any business. I mean, we do all know this, right? Then you've got to treat these essential beings with all the care and consideration they need and require.
So, why don't you?
Here are some of the bone head things any customer can easily experience from businesses like yours on any given day:
1) Telephone calls that aren't returned
This is a constant lamentation from customers: "Why can't I get my calls returned?"
The plain fact is, most businesses are supremely careless about returning calls. Indeed, we seem to have reached the point where the returned call is the exception, not the rule.
This means that businesses are actually willing to throw business away and antagonize customers, rather than implement and adhere to a "calls must be returned promptly" policy. Incredible!
Don't let this be you. Make it a point to return ALL calls every day before you leave, earlier if possible. And do the same for all e-mail messages, too.
2) Keep customers up-to-date on their business
What customers (rightly) resent is being kept in the dark about their affairs. They expect, and are right to expect, that people they employ are empathetic. This means keeping customers fully up-to-date on what is happening with their account.
Either a phone call or an e-mail message can do nicely. The important thing is ensuring you give the customer a clear and detailed report, focusing on what that customer wants to know to be kept fully informed and anxiety free.
3) Do what you say you're going to do
When you were courting your customer, making a pitch for their business, you made promises. Are you keeping them, now that you got the business?
Customers rightly complain that there is a gap between what was promised and what is delivered. Solving this problem is not so very difficult. Keep a clear list of what you promised, and check off these items as you do them. Be sure to inform the customer, so there is no confusion. "I promised this; I have done this." That's the thing!
4) Provide easy customer support
If you provide a service requiring customer support, make it clear what you provide and when you supply it. Customers rightly complain when promised support is not available, and they have to chase you to get assistance. This very quickly goes stale and results in deteriorating relations.
Again, be clear on the support you provide... then deliver exactly what you said you would!
5) Don't gossip or chat in front of waiting customers
This one gets customers hot under the collar real fast.
The plain, unvarnished truth is that far too many business people regard customers as either a) invisible or b) pesky distractions from the thrilling task of keeping their co-workers current on the vicissitudes of their roller-coaster life.
Unless your object is to make customers see red, STOP the chatter, now and for evermore.
6) Stick to business
Just yesterday I called a local business to get details on a possible purchase and instead of focused, professional service... I got an earful about the life and times of an unstoppable loquacious business owner.
WHOA!
On the whole customers do not need to have either a current report on your health issues past, present and future, or the ins and outs of your business for the last quarter century, or so.
The K.I.S.S. principle applies here: Keep it simple, Sam. Don't overwhelm the customer with your personal trivia. It is a real turn-off for most.
6) Say thank-you for the business, and smile when you say it.
Quite simply, you cannot thank a customer enough for her business. Further, you cannot smile enough as you look that customer in the eye while delivering heartfelt words of appreciation.
Thank-you's must NEVER be perfunctory. They must be warm, sincere, radiant and frequent. Remember, the customer ALWAYS knows when they're genuine and bestows future business accordingly!

In the immortal words of the late
Supreme Court Justice,Thurgood Marshal,
"there's no difference between a Black
snake and a White snake..... the bloody
snake still bites". Indeed, politicians
are equally receptive to economic incentives
to advance their own financial portfolio.
Fortunately, when one breaks the 11th
Commandment (Thou, shall not get caught)
there are consequences from the Almighty,
that are manifested through Man's Law. In
essence, take a bribe and get caught by the
Feds your Biblical Donkey goes to JAIL.

On black politics and politicians. Thoughts on the convictions of former Boston city councillor Chuck Turner and former Massachusetts state senator Dianne Wilkerson.
by Dr. Jeffrey Lant
January 25, 2011 ought to have been a red letter day in the black community of Boston, Massachusetts. That, after all, is the day former 6 term Boston city councillor Chuck Turner was sentenced to three years in prison for accepting a $1,000 bribe. He's joined in the pokey by another well- known black politician, Dianne Wilkerson, ex-state senator, representing roughly the same area in the state senate Turner represented in the city council. Wilkerson's sentence, 3 1/2 years.
Sadly, the black community has not only not been grateful to have such blatant, shameless cons removed from positions of power and authority they occupied... there is strong, residual grumbling that "the man" has clipped the wings of two positively angelic spokespeople for the community. Sure they were guilty... but they were good people who worked for the community; thus all their numerous, documented infractions should and needed to be forgiven.
Let's see how this ironic development came about; what it tells us about leadership in the black community, and the need to put the race card to bed, as inimical to that community and its members.
Here are the facts:
June 2007. Wilkerson, one of the best known members of the Massachusetts State Senate, is videotaped accepting cash pay-offs, including $1,000 that she stuffed into her bra, in exchange for help with a liquor license and assistance to a developer who wanted to build on state land.
August 3, 2007. Turner is videotaped by an FBI informant accepting a $1,000 bribe also for help getting a liquor license.
October 28, 2008. Wilkerson is arrested on FBI charges of public corruption and accused of eight counts of accepting bribes worth $23,500.
November 21, 2008. Turner is arrested on charges of taking a bribe and then lying to federal agents about it.
Thanks to the videotapes and other corroborating evidence, surely this, of all cases, was open and shut. Think again!
Both Wilkerson and even more so Turner were wise in the ways of provocateurs everywhere. Demagoguery? Distortions? Lies? They were all in a day's work for this hyper-active duo. Too, they knew one of Adolph Hitler's most insightful observations: that if you say a thing often, over and over again, that thing, no matter how unsound, untrue, unlikely, becomes the truth.
And so, because the charges were serious, amply documented, and because the FBI was determined that such a culture of crime be rooted out... the matter escalated at once into a food fight that fascinated and repelled a great city.
In short order, both Turner and Wilkerson had turned the matter of their guilt or innocence into nothing less than an assault by every level of authority against their people, black people.... using tactics not unworthy of the Grand Old Army as it waved the bloody shirt in the days of reconstruction.
Was Chuck Turner, born with a sneer on his lips, a torrent of vituperative hate language always at the ready, was Turner to blame? Certainly not.
George W. Bush and his Administration was to blame.
The FBI and law enforcement authorities were to blame.
Mr. and Mrs. White America and all the ships at sea were to blame... anyone and every one but the man actually videotaped taking the piddly amount of one thousand dollars.
Wilkerson went for cheap, too, though she went cheap more often than Turner, a thousand dollars here, a thousand dollars there.
That was fact... but these masters of distortion with graduate degrees in race baiting... sought to manipulate public opinion by first, endlessly harping on all the "good" they had done for the minority neighborhoods which had elected them again and again to their public offices, and second turning the matter of their personal guilt into an episode in the great enduring struggle for civil rights.
Chuck Turner couldn't conceivably be guilty... because he was on the right side of "We shall overcome".
Both Turner and Wilkerson littered the landscape with their rallies, their statements, their media appearances... all to persuade the public, not merely gullible but mesmerized by these deft practitioners of mayhem and rage, that they were not merely innocent... they were the very heart and soul of the best of the black tradition. They were being cast down, they said and said again, because they had helped raise up the downtrodden.
It was magnificent, it was riveting, it was one lie after another. But good people of the neighborhoods bought the fiction, embraced the rhetoric, and saw conspiracies where there was in fact nothing more than law enforcements officials doing their job without the support of the people victimized by the accused and blatantly self serving Turner and Wilkerson.
Right up to and including their respective days in court neither Wilkerson nor (even more so) Turner seemed to have any idea that they were misleading, distorting, evading, much less that they had any responsibility for what they had done and which could readily be seen on the incriminating videotapes.
They told their supporters, who were legion, that it was all a misunderstanding, that it was all a conspiracy against them because of their important work. They had been sinned against, no question, but they had never, ever sinned.
These fiery arguments, all froth, no facts, did not work for Wilkerson. She missed the point until the very end, January 6, 2010, when she was well and truly sentenced.
Then came the shrieking, race baiting, responsibility evading Turner... who finally met his match, and more, in U.S. District Court Judge Douglas P. Woodlock.
In his remarks, Woodlock, with cool elegance, never raising his voice, unlike Turner, who always did, hit the nail on the head, saying Turner's blatant perjury was "surreal", "ludicrous." And,most pointedly, that if Turner hadn't continuously and outrageously lied to the federal authorities he would not have received the sentence of.... three years.
Within moments the egregious Turner was outside the courthouse doing what he does best: spewing poison and malice and, with a touch of his demented genius, making it clear that he expects to become the next civil rights martyr, certain to die (in glory) in the big house, snuffed by "the man". The gall of the man is unending.
However, in the final analysis, this is not a story about 2 cons from politics. It is, rather, about the people of the neighborhoods, the people who not only elected them again and again... but, more strange to us, continued to applaud the now convicted felons, who had had their day in court.... and lost.
Why had these good people allowed themselves to be so mislead, so abused, so used? Did the need to support the black face so trump all other considerations that any outrage would be tolerated and forgiven, any outrage at all?
So, it seems. Which is why in every black neighborhood in the land, the good people, the hard working people, the Church attending, law abiding people elect and re-elect one scoundrel after another -- until finally these fine folks realize the conundrum of their situation and elect good people, not just black people and never, ever black politicians who harp on civil rights to excuse civic wrongs.

In the immortal words of the late
Supreme Court Justice,Thurgood Marshal,
"there's no difference between a Black
snake and a White snake..... the bloody
snake still bites". Indeed, politicians
are equally receptive to economic incentives
to advance their own financial portfolio.
Fortunately, when one breaks the 11th
Commandment (Thou, shall not get caught)
there are consequences from the Almighty,
that are manifested through Man's Law. In
essence, take a bribe and get caught by the
Feds your Biblical Donkey goes to JAIL.

On black politics and politicians. Thoughts on the convictions of former Boston city councillor Chuck Turner and former Massachusetts state senator Dianne Wilkerson.
by Dr. Jeffrey Lant
January 25, 2011 ought to have been a red letter day in the black community of Boston, Massachusetts. That, after all, is the day former 6 term Boston city councillor Chuck Turner was sentenced to three years in prison for accepting a $1,000 bribe. He's joined in the pokey by another well- known black politician, Dianne Wilkerson, ex-state senator, representing roughly the same area in the state senate Turner represented in the city council. Wilkerson's sentence, 3 1/2 years.
Sadly, the black community has not only not been grateful to have such blatant, shameless cons removed from positions of power and authority they occupied... there is strong, residual grumbling that "the man" has clipped the wings of two positively angelic spokespeople for the community. Sure they were guilty... but they were good people who worked for the community; thus all their numerous, documented infractions should and needed to be forgiven.
Let's see how this ironic development came about; what it tells us about leadership in the black community, and the need to put the race card to bed, as inimical to that community and its members.
Here are the facts:
June 2007. Wilkerson, one of the best known members of the Massachusetts State Senate, is videotaped accepting cash pay-offs, including $1,000 that she stuffed into her bra, in exchange for help with a liquor license and assistance to a developer who wanted to build on state land.
August 3, 2007. Turner is videotaped by an FBI informant accepting a $1,000 bribe also for help getting a liquor license.
October 28, 2008. Wilkerson is arrested on FBI charges of public corruption and accused of eight counts of accepting bribes worth $23,500.
November 21, 2008. Turner is arrested on charges of taking a bribe and then lying to federal agents about it.
Thanks to the videotapes and other corroborating evidence, surely this, of all cases, was open and shut. Think again!
Both Wilkerson and even more so Turner were wise in the ways of provocateurs everywhere. Demagoguery? Distortions? Lies? They were all in a day's work for this hyper-active duo. Too, they knew one of Adolph Hitler's most insightful observations: that if you say a thing often, over and over again, that thing, no matter how unsound, untrue, unlikely, becomes the truth.
And so, because the charges were serious, amply documented, and because the FBI was determined that such a culture of crime be rooted out... the matter escalated at once into a food fight that fascinated and repelled a great city.
In short order, both Turner and Wilkerson had turned the matter of their guilt or innocence into nothing less than an assault by every level of authority against their people, black people.... using tactics not unworthy of the Grand Old Army as it waved the bloody shirt in the days of reconstruction.
Was Chuck Turner, born with a sneer on his lips, a torrent of vituperative hate language always at the ready, was Turner to blame? Certainly not.
George W. Bush and his Administration was to blame.
The FBI and law enforcement authorities were to blame.
Mr. and Mrs. White America and all the ships at sea were to blame... anyone and every one but the man actually videotaped taking the piddly amount of one thousand dollars.
Wilkerson went for cheap, too, though she went cheap more often than Turner, a thousand dollars here, a thousand dollars there.
That was fact... but these masters of distortion with graduate degrees in race baiting... sought to manipulate public opinion by first, endlessly harping on all the "good" they had done for the minority neighborhoods which had elected them again and again to their public offices, and second turning the matter of their personal guilt into an episode in the great enduring struggle for civil rights.
Chuck Turner couldn't conceivably be guilty... because he was on the right side of "We shall overcome".
Both Turner and Wilkerson littered the landscape with their rallies, their statements, their media appearances... all to persuade the public, not merely gullible but mesmerized by these deft practitioners of mayhem and rage, that they were not merely innocent... they were the very heart and soul of the best of the black tradition.

Suffering from Rickets of The Mind: SOLUTION …. Millionaire Mindset
The millionaire mindset plays mental golf-
always moving forward, aiming for a specific
point up ahead, trying to take the most direct
path possible”. In essence, the Millionaire Mindset
is about WINNING and destroying Self-Limiting
beliefs that keeps the individual in a Poverty-Mindset.
Please, submit your COMMENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another look inside the millionaire mind-set... how millionaires look at the Internet... very different from you... and far more lucrative. By Dr. Jeffrey Lant
The Internet is divided into two quite distinct parts: people who make money every single day... and those who not only do not but can not.
I am firmly in the first category. Sadly, you are most probably in the second. If you are serious about profiting online this candid, detailed report is not only useful; it's an absolute must. Don't just read it once, either, and expect to get everything out of it. Study it as if your online life and prosperity depend upon it... for they do. It is part of a series of such articles you can find on my blog, details below. Each article in the series takes up a different, crucial aspect of the Internet millionaire's mind... resolved to put you in that mind-set as soon as possible, the faster to generate the profits you desire.
Energy
I shall commence today with a problem every person online has who is not a millionaire: sloth, laziness, endless vistas of wealth and prosperity... but torpid, meandering, a poster boy or girl for lassitude, indolence, intolerable sluggishness.
I have been on the Internet profitably now since 1994... and among other things have been teaching the essentials of online business success. The degree of inertia and just plain lack of consistent effort and dogged perseverance is staggering.
Let's be clear with each other. You cannot succeed online if you exhibit consistently poor and inadequate business habits. Good habits are the foundation for Internet success. Treating your online business differently from your offline business will ensure its complete and total failure.
To establish the best possible habits and make the best possible use of the time at your disposal, you need to understand when your energy is at peek... and when, therefore, to do the essential tasks, which require the most energy. I am writing this article at 4:25 a.m. Eastern time. I have learned over time that this is the best time of the day to write the 1,500 words of publishable prose I write each day and post on my website and blog. Millionaires, online and off, are expert at reviewing all their assets and deciding just when they should be used for maximum advantage.
Now, I've gotten off my chest something I've been meaning to write for some time; success comes to those who understand what they have available... then using these assets to generate other assets, maximum energy being an absolute necessity.
Stop Buying, Start Selling.
One of the Internet's wisest entrepreneurs, George Kosch, has been reviewing and analyzing online wealth seekers for decades. It is both vocation and avocation and his knowledge of such people is encyclopedic, insightful, and often extremely funny. He has identified one group as online business wannabees with the "Shiny New Package Syndrome".
These folks are engaged in the never-ending, completely futile, and drainingly expensive task of buying every new thing that appears online, the better to ensure that they have the latest, best, cutting-edge do-dad which, immediately upon purchase, is hastily reviewed, then cast on top of the gigantic, only just balanced, stack of dozens, even hundreds of once "must have" items, enticing, purchased, discarded, forgotten.
This syndrome is a killer for building wealth and misses the essential point for how you can use these glittery products with the breathless descriptions to profit. There is a way, an easy way, but it involves changing your thinking from buyer to seller, for one essential and irrefutable reason: product sellers make money... product buyers do not.
You say you are online to make money, right? This being the case tell me when you last reviewed all the product descriptions and purchase opportunities and offers you receive hour by hour online? If you are reaching for an answer that doesn't come, let me refresh your memory: you never do this, not today, yesterday, or ever. You do what the overwhelming majority of so-called online entrepreneurs do: you trash these advertisements, irritated that you receive them, fast into the dumpster, so there.
This conclusively proves you are not, just yet, millionaire material, since you are ignoring, overlooking and destroying just what can help you succeed.
Product review never stops... but, sadly, with you has probably never started.
Every company determined to grow, even in times of strenuous economic challenge like ours, sets about reviewing products to augment, extend and make more profitable their line. Day in, day out such entrepreneurs make a point of searching out new products that their all-important customer base and lists can monetize for them. Each day is a day for adding new products. The question before the house is: why aren't you doing this, you with the big dreams and great desires?
Thanks to the Internet, it has never been easier to discover products worldwide and build worldwide business relationships, all from the comfort of your at-home PC and Internet connection. How Christopher Columbus and all the great European explorers would envy you... for at your fingertips this very minute, you have the means of building one or more huge customer lists and of reviewing and adding new products every single day.
Product review and product selling hints.
First, what I've written above obviously necessitates a sea change in how you regard your email. New product details and offers must no longer be considered as "junk"; rather, look upon them as helpful information sent by people who desire you to get as rich as possible as soon as possible. When such materials arise (minute by minute online), either review at once... or transfer to an online file so you can review later. Make it a point to review this file regularly, transferring the data you want to another file, while discarding items which seem unlikely to excite the folks on your lists.
Develop and send a stationery letter to the prime source/developer/owner of each product. Advise them you wish to add their product to your catalog/website/list. Indicate your traffic statistics and how you can sell their products. Then ask for the discount terms, name, email address, telephone number of the person handling this product. Be sure to include all your follow-up details.
Note: if this message is not answered within 48 hours, re-email and place "second attempt" at the top; you're a serious player and the company you're contacting needs to know it. Efficiency always helps.
Your desire for success, your ability to achieve it online is determined by how manyof these letters you send... and how many new products you email to your lists.
Remember, doing so is not the work of an hour, a day or a week. If you want to do what you say you want to do, namely make money online, you must understand that you will do this until you wrap up your online enterprises for good. In my case, that will only take place when I'm six-feet under... and you should have a similar date.
Just one more thing. The products that you used to pay for, emptying your wallet... you'll get them free from the companies producing them as soon as you show them just what a crackerjack sales machine you are. That starts now!

Boneheads: when smart people do (really) dumb things.
By Dr. Jeffrey Lant
It seems my father is right again. Ever since I can remember he has said, "People with Ph.D.s can do some of the dumbest things"... Then he'd reel off a list of his latest discoveries, always ending up with two or three of the waiters at a local restaurant who were, despite their advanced degrees, slinging hash. I always reminded him that those folks only had Master's Degrees... but he'd snort "Same difference" and that was that.
When I saw this story on the wire services recently, I knew I'd have to tell you about it... and grab it before my father, a news fanatic, brought it to my attention with what comments I already knew so well.
Picture the scene...
It is 2005 and professor emeritus of political science F. Chris Garcia is moving towards the conclusion of a distinguished academic career at the University of New Mexico, including a stint as President of the university. You mull over your options...
You could write another book. You've already got 11 under your belt. They include "Hispanics and the U.S. Political System" and "Moving into the Mainstream". You are a recognized expert on one of the most important subjects in American politics; how to organize Hispanics and reap major advantages.
You could get another top academic position. Your resume is stellar. You've done what was necessary steadily to move up the ladder: you've been dean of the College of Arts and Sciences (1980-86); vice president of academic affairs (1987-1990); you know, few better, the arcane ins and outs of the Academy.
You could call in some of the favors you've laboriously acquired over the years; you think... a cushy job in Washington... well-paid lobbyist... maybe Ambassador to one of the South American countries you know so well... His Excellency the U.S. Ambassador to Bolivia... maybe even Chile. Cool
There's no rush; you're 71 now (2011) but that, as you keep telling yourself, is the new 60... you've got lots of time... and lots of options. In due course, after a lot of deep and serious thought, you decide to do something you've always been interested in...something that will give you all you desire... something that'll both make you a lot of money and fulfill your fastidious personal wants. The solution is obvious.
You decide to get involved in the new and exciting world of Internet prostitution a growth field if ever there was one.
Here's how it happened:
"Burque Pops" (Garcia's online handle) comes to know fellow academic, Fairleigh Dickinson University professor of physics Dr. David Flory. These guys hit it off right away, kindred spirits speaking the same language. They're both about the same age (Flory's 68), both respected in their academic fields, both restless as all get out. Time's unceasing chariot is moving, moving, moving; if they were going to make a change, experience "real" life and have fun, they knew they needed to take fast action NOW!
And, of course, there was the thrill of Les Girls to consider, something you could never get on campus and retain your tenure. Wow! It was all good... all they had to do was come and get it.
The company that these hot-blooded academics decided to get involved with was called Southwest Companions. The idea was simple: people of influence, people of education, people of standing had human needs like hoi polloi; but they needed a level of sophistication and discretion that Joe Sixpack didn't require. In short, they needed a gentlemen's retreat, flattering lighting optional.
Southwest Companions was founded in 2005 by Cara Garrett. Her mug shot makes her look like what she was: a tough customer, decades younger than Garcia and Flory but with a lifetime of street smarts and survival skills these aging lotharios could only imagine. They were putty in her pudgy palms. Our hapless professors might have suspected as much, but they were not experts in the films of the Weimar Republic, most particularly the 1930s masterpiece by Josef von Sternberg, "Der Blaue Engel". Here Marlene Dietricht takes her professor on a roller coaster ride from respectability to something way over his head. Cara Garrett knew these tricks, too...
Southwest Companions was sold by Garrett in 2007 to another suspect in the case, Mike Dorsey. He in turn sold the site in 2009 to Flory, who had homes in both Manhattan and Santa Fe.
Things prospered and the two most important aspects of the business waxed: there were more of Les Girls, lots more, and lots and lots more of the discretion-seeking daddio's from all walks of life. In due course the ring had some 1,400 members, including 200 prostitutes.
The money was good, too... and tax-free. Members of the site paid anywhere from $200 for a sex act to $1,000 for a full hour of time. The prostitutes were paid in cash by the clients, not through the site.
Garcia and Flory took to the game with enthusiasm and the organizational skills they both had in abundance. They rose to the heady heights of being a "hunter", the guys empowered to recruit new girls, for new girls were always in demand; fresh faces, firm bodies were what it was all about... and the academic gentlemen knew how to find and recruit them.

It was all up, up and away... but there was a weak link and its name was Cara Garrett.

In life there are various forms of intelligence
and many believe Book Smarts are the most
valued when it comes to making money. Hold
the bloody phone central because Academic
Scholars trying to be Street Hustlers illustrates
the importance of executing "Common Sense",
which many so called Smart People are lacking.
Boneheads: when smart people do (really) dumb things.
By Dr. Jeffrey Lant
It seems my father is right again. Ever since I can remember he has said, "People with Ph.D.s can do some of the dumbest things"... Then he'd reel off a list of his latest discoveries, always ending up with two or three of the waiters at a local restaurant who were, despite their advanced degrees, slinging hash. I always reminded him that those folks only had Master's Degrees... but he'd snort "Same difference" and that was that.
When I saw this story on the wire services recently, I knew I'd have to tell you about it... and grab it before my father, a news fanatic, brought it to my attention with what comments I already knew so well.
Picture the scene...
It is 2005 and professor emeritus of political science F. Chris Garcia is moving towards the conclusion of a distinguished academic career at the University of New Mexico, including a stint as President of the university. You mull over your options...
You could write another book. You've already got 11 under your belt. They include "Hispanics and the U.S. Political System" and "Moving into the Mainstream". You are a recognized expert on one of the most important subjects in American politics; how to organize Hispanics and reap major advantages.
You could get another top academic position. Your resume is stellar. You've done what was necessary steadily to move up the ladder: you've been dean of the College of Arts and Sciences (1980-86); vice president of academic affairs (1987-1990); you know, few better, the arcane ins and outs of the Academy.
You could call in some of the favors you've laboriously acquired over the years; you think... a cushy job in Washington... well-paid lobbyist... maybe Ambassador to one of the South American countries you know so well... His Excellency the U.S. Ambassador to Bolivia... maybe even Chile. Cool
There's no rush; you're 71 now (2011) but that, as you keep telling yourself, is the new 60... you've got lots of time... and lots of options. In due course, after a lot of deep and serious thought, you decide to do something you've always been interested in...something that will give you all you desire... something that'll both make you a lot of money and fulfill your fastidious personal wants. The solution is obvious.
You decide to get involved in the new and exciting world of Internet prostitution a growth field if ever there was one.
Here's how it happened:
"Burque Pops" (Garcia's online handle) comes to know fellow academic, Fairleigh Dickinson University professor of physics Dr. David Flory. These guys hit it off right away, kindred spirits speaking the same language. They're both about the same age (Flory's 68), both respected in their academic fields, both restless as all get out. Time's unceasing chariot is moving, moving, moving; if they were going to make a change, experience "real" life and have fun, they knew they needed to take fast action NOW!
And, of course, there was the thrill of Les Girls to consider, something you could never get on campus and retain your tenure. Wow! It was all good... all they had to do was come and get it.
The company that these hot-blooded academics decided to get involved with was called Southwest Companions. The idea was simple: people of influence, people of education, people of standing had human needs like hoi polloi; but they needed a level of sophistication and discretion that Joe Sixpack didn't require. In short, they needed a gentlemen's retreat, flattering lighting optional.
Southwest Companions was founded in 2005 by Cara Garrett. Her mug shot makes her look like what she was: a tough customer, decades younger than Garcia and Flory but with a lifetime of street smarts and survival skills these aging lotharios could only imagine. They were putty in her pudgy palms. Our hapless professors might have suspected as much, but they were not experts in the films of the Weimar Republic, most particularly the 1930s masterpiece by Josef von Sternberg, "Der Blaue Engel". Here Marlene Dietricht takes her professor on a roller coaster ride from respectability to something way over his head. Cara Garrett knew these tricks, too...
Southwest Companions was sold by Garrett in 2007 to another suspect in the case, Mike Dorsey. He in turn sold the site in 2009 to Flory, who had homes in both Manhattan and Santa Fe.
Things prospered and the two most important aspects of the business waxed: there were more of Les Girls, lots more, and lots and lots more of the discretion-seeking daddio's from all walks of life. In due course the ring had some 1,400 members, including 200 prostitutes.
The money was good, too... and tax-free. Members of the site paid anywhere from $200 for a sex act to $1,000 for a full hour of time. The prostitutes were paid in cash by the clients, not through the site.
Garcia and Flory took to the game with enthusiasm and the organizational skills they both had in abundance. They rose to the heady heights of being a "hunter", the guys empowered to recruit new girls, for new girls were always in demand; fresh faces, firm bodies were what it was all about... and the academic gentlemen knew how to find and recruit them. They also advised on the creation of a handy list of police undercover agents to help members recognize them and avoid arrest. Like all good entrepreneurs, they found a need and filled it.

Kim Kardashian and the rest of her Matriarchal Mafia
continue to dominate the gossip magazines and other
forms of electronic reality media in the year 2011. Why
is that? Of course she’s an Attention Whore who is addicted
to the media. Is this true or she and her sisters more
business savvy then, we give them true credit for their ability
to keep their brand name “Karadashian” out in the public 24/7?
Doesn’t Wal-Mart, McDonalds and other well-known American
Corporations spend several millions of dollars yearly to advertise
their products to the global masses? Well, it seems the Kardashians
are able to accomplish the same task, but at a much lower cost; yet,
maintain their name in many forms of Pop Culture media. So, it
would appear the little ladies due in fact, have talent and it’s the
same skill you exercise daily in your home business opportunity..
Alright, your real business is not your Opportunity, but is
actually Marketing. Want to generate consistent, predictable
and long-term residual income from your business then, you
must engage in relentless Marketing both Online and Offline.
In the era of the Internet becoming a Master Marketer is critical
to your success due to the fact, connecting with your Target
Market requires mastery of various strategies:
· SEO
· Article Marketing
· Blogging
· Podcasting
· Webcasting
· Banner
· PPV
· Video Marketing
· etc.
Now, Reality TV Stars Kim, Khloe & Kourtney Kardashian
are well known for their TV sitcom known as “Keeping Up
with The Kardashians”. Needless to say, Intellectual/Technical
expertise appears to be devoid among the sisters; however,
they have achieved a significant objective that most marketers
struggle to achieve and profit. So, can you guess, what that is?
correct, they created a legally protected brand name called
“Kardashian”. Yes, indeed, these ladies and other family members
have increased the VALUE of the family name not only by their
Realty TV show, but also by multiple product endorsements that
bear their family name. Additionally, they add fresh content to
their Brand not only by their Realty TV Show, but also, by the
highly-publicized relationships with other celebrities and
Hollywood partying, which are carefully and neatly packaged
for distribution by the Paparazzi on a weekly basis Free of charge.
Not bad, having your Brand name and related products being advertised
at zero cost for the consumption of their target market and the curious.
Despite, the superficial nature of their Reality TV Show, the
Entrepreneurial Spirit is evident within the sisters, which
according to Kim, was instilled in them by their later father
Robert Kardashian (OJ Simpson’s, Attorney). “Our father
told all of us at 18-years old we would be cut-off, so if we
wanted to continue our accustomed way of life we would have
to earn our own money”.
Well, there it is regarding the Kardashians. Now, back to
YOU and that Non-Profit Agency you’re operating, which
is known as the MLM Cemetery. Are you ready to access
vital information and training to make you a Master Marketer?
If yes, then, please proceed here: http://www.successroute.biz
Oh yes, The American Free Enterprise System continues to
decide what has VALUE.!!!! Happy Independence Day!!!!
