Hello From Kansas… I spotted a UFO - I SWEAR!

Wow… Kansas is quite a change from California… especially after spending a week in NYC!

But it was definitely an adventure!… Jim Yaghi and I just finished hosting our Live PPC 2-day intensive, where we managed to not only just sleep 45min a night… but also managed to have our SUV bum-rushed by cows after getting lost in BFE in some place that looked like a Friday the 13th movie!

There was also the night that I apparently had too much to drink, but I could of sworn I saw lights in the sky circling our cottage in the fields! (I only had 2 beers officer ;)  Jim won’t admit it, but he saw the lights too. Just don’t tell him I said so.

The funniest part though, was my friend Gregg trying to film a video by the bonfire, (where he brags about making $100 G’s a month), when he suddenly gets attacked by a opposum that we litterally thought was a giant newspaper! LOL

The association was priceless. You could see the prosperity burning into the souls of our attendees as people sat around the bonfire at midnight and witnessed wisdom shared - in the form of hearts pouring out and tears squirting into the smores in our hands that we had just roasted together on the flames.

Anyway, this awesome time with such a great group of students, colleagues and friends sparked some memories of appreciation when Jim and I thought back about our lives 3 years ago - just before we met…

We had both just purchased Mike Dillard’s Traffic Formula, which he released on a whim (it wasn’t even suppose to be an actual product!)

But the market drooled and slobbered all over it.

The relevancy is that, it was discussing this course online in a chat room, that Jim and I met 3 years ago, after both ripping through the formula. And it was many of the strategies in it that allowed us transform ourselves in a few short years, into Internet Millionaires.

Apparently Mike is about to release an “updated” and enhanced version of Traffic Formula, called “Traffic Formula 2.0″.

I HIGHLY suggest you pick it up! I has been invaluable in my life.

Here is a short video of Jim and I in Kansas, after our event - sharing our story of Traffic Formula…

Pick it up tomorrow here: www.DavidSchwind.net/2.0

You’ll be glad you did!

P.S. Yours truly will be contributing some lethal marketing venom into Mike’s new and improved formula… so not only will you recieve 10-times the value in this course, but I promise to make my segment worth the price alone

What Constitutes a Good Life? -by Jim Rohn

I like this article & find it very resonant and valuable, so I thought I’d share it with you…

——————————————————————————————————————-

The ultimate expression of life is not a paycheck.
The ultimate expression of life is not a Mercedes.
The ultimate expression of life is not a million dollars or a bank account or a home.

Here’s the ultimate expression of life in my opinion, and that is living the good life.

Here’s what we must ask constantly, “What for me would be a good life?” And you have to keep going over and over the list. A list including areas such as spirituality, economics, health, relationships and recreation. What would constitute a good life? I’ve got a short list.

1) Number one, productivity.

You won’t be happy if you don’t produce. The game of life is not rest. We must rest, but only long enough to gather strength to get back to productivity. What’s the reason for the seasons and the seeds, the soil and the sunshine, the rain and the miracle of life? It’s to see what you can do with it. To try your hand, other people have tried their hand; here’s what they did. You try your hand to see what you can do. So part of life is productivity.

2) Next are good friends.

Friendship is probably the greatest support system in the world. Don’t deny yourself the time to develop this support system. Nothing can match it. It’s extraordinary in its benefit. Friends are those wonderful people who know all about you and still like you. A few years ago I lost one of my dearest friends. He died at age 53 - heart attack. David is gone, but he was one of my very special friends. I used to say of David that if I was stuck in a foreign jail somewhere accused unduly and if they would allow me one phone call, I would call David. Why? He would come and get me. That’s a friend. Somebody who would come and get you. Now we’ve all got casual friends. And if you called them they would say, “Hey, if you get back, call me we’ll have a party.” So you’ve got to have both, real friends and casual friends.

3) Next on the list of a good life is your culture.

Your language, your music, the ceremonies, the traditions, the dress. All of that is so vitally important that you must keep it alive. In fact it is the uniqueness of all of us that when blended together brings vitality, energy, power, influence, uniqueness and rightness to the world.

4) Next is your spirituality.

It helps to form the foundation of the family that builds the nation. And make sure you study, practice and teach. Don’t be careless about the spiritual part of your nature, it’s what makes us who we are, different from animal, dogs, cats, birds and mice. Spirituality.

5) Next - here’s what my parents taught me… Don’t miss anything.

Don’t miss the game.
Don’t miss the performance,
don’t miss the movie,
don’t miss the show,
don’t miss the dance.

Go to everything you possibly can. Buy a ticket to everything you possibly can. Go see everything and experience all you possibly can. This has served me so well to this day. Just before my father died at age 93 if you were to call him at 10:30 or 11:00 at night, he wouldn’t be home. He was at the rodeo, he was watching the kids play softball, he was listening to the concert, he was at church, he was somewhere every night..

Live a vital life. Here’s one of the reasons why. If you live well, you will earn well. If you live well it will show in your face, it will show in the texture of your voice. There will be something unique and magical about you if you live well. It will infuse not only your personal life but also your business life. And it will give you a vitality nothing else can give.

6) Next are your family and the inner circle.

Invest in them and they’ll invest in you.
Inspire them and they’ll inspire you.
With your inner circle take care of the details.

When my father was still alive, I used to call him when I traveled. He’d have breakfast most every morning with the farmers. Little place called The Decoy Inn out in the country where we lived in Southwest Idaho. So Papa would go there and have breakfast and I’d call him just to give him a special day. Now if I was in Israel, I’d have to get up in the middle of the night, but it only took five minutes, ten minutes. So I’d call Papa and they’d bring him the phone. I’d say, “Papa I’m in Israel.” He’d say, “Israel! Son, how are things in Israel?” He’d talk real loud so everybody could hear - my son’s calling me from Israel. I’d say, “Papa last night they gave me a reception on the rooftop underneath the stars overlooking the Mediterranean.” He’d say, “Son, a reception on the rooftop underneath the stars overlooking the Mediterranean.” Now everybody knows the story. It only took 5 - 10 minutes, but what a special day for my father, age 93.

If a father walks out of the house and he can still feel his daughter’s kiss on his face all day, he’s a powerful man. If a husband walks out of the house and he can still feel the imprint of his wife’s arms around his body he’s invincible all day.

It’s the special stuff with the inner circle that makes you strong and powerful and influential. So don’t miss that opportunity.. Here’s the greatest value. The prophet said, “There are many virtues and values, but here’s the greatest, one person caring for another.” There is no greater value than love. Better to live in a tent on the beach with someone you love than to live in a mansion by yourself. One person caring for another, that’s one of life’s greatest expressions.

So make sure in your busy day to remember the true purpose and the reasons you do what you do. May you truly live the kind of life that will bring the fruit and rewards that you desire.

To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

FORBIDDEN Mind Control: How “Hitler” Almost Took Over The World…

I wrote this article last year for the home business industry… I have received a lot of response and praise for it since, so I thought I’d post it here for all to read…

*****************************************

Want to hear a frighteningly powerful marketing persuasion technique secretly used by master marketers, salesman, magicians, and even SUICIDE Cults?

What you’re about to read is absolutely CHILLING… in fact, bad things have been known to happen unless you make sure to read this entire page, so make sure you DO…

(Especially if you’d like to use mass persuasion to make millions…)

It’s true… what I’m about to reveal to you was not only used by Adolf Hitler to nearly takeover the planet, but also used religiously by master-marketers, top sales people, magicians, hypnotists, psychics, and YES, even suicide cults!

(Just make sure, If you value your well being, you use them for good ONLY. –not like Hitler!)

But how would you know?

Well, you can sum it up pretty easily… the difference between “harmful” manipulation and “friendly” persuasion is “intent”. You only need to answer one question…

“Am I going to use these methods to benefit everyone involved?”

If the answer is “yes”, then you may read on…

Are you ready to hear how to get other networkers to do your bidding?

Well, it all starts with one “magical” sentence written by one of the master influencer, Blair Warren. And here it is…

“People will do anything for those who encourage their dreams, justify their failures, allay their fears, confirm their suspicions, and help them throw rocks at their enemies.”

Geezz… if that didn’t send chills down your spine, then let me break it down for you. Infact, let me put it into “home business” terms and examples…

• 1) Encourage their dreams – Empower people, re-assure them the impossible IS possible. Implementation: In short, when you lead by example and encourage greatness and belief in others, you subconsiously gain power over them.
  

• 2) Justify their failures – Everyone has failed at least a few times in some sort of MLM or home business.
  Implementation: Just identify why most fail (like no cashflow, buying leads, etc…) then show them that that’s why your strategies work. In essence, let them know their failed strategies are not their fault.

• 3) Allay their fears – People taking on any new skill or business venture are naturally afraid. Implementation: Instead of telling them “not to be afraid”, tell them you’ll work with them and be there to assist them until their fear diminishes.See the persuasion “trap”? – They are now dependent on you for success, and if you live up to your word… for that, they will stay loyal. Powerful huh? Are you afraid?

• 4) Confirm their suspicions – People feel gratification by finding out “they were right.
  Implementation: As entrepreneurs… we are always looking for the better, more effective, and easier way. We know a better way always exists… there must be some “holy grail” to succeeding in this industry.

  Position your offer as “the better way”, (which everyone is looking for) and assure them you are going to teach it to them. Don’t dismiss this, every entrepreneur is sub-consiously searching for this… show it to them, and they will follow you!
  

• 5) Help them throw rocks at their enemies – The thing ALL your prospects struggle with, is their “enemy”.
  Implementation: Identify what you know your target market hates (IE: buying leads, cold calling, etc…). Next, like anyone in a “struggle”… they want someone to join their side. Do it!

  Accompany them in dis-crediting their frustrations. Help them throw rocks at their enemies!

  When you do, you gain power as their new found friend, mentor, and business partner!

  Anyone have a Rock?
