5 Things to Know Before Going Wireless

Before you decide to go wireless or not, there are many points to consider. You may be asking yourself if wireless is for you. Well, today, many people are asking themselves the same question. If you watch the headline news, you are bound to see stories involving mergers, federal regulations, and new tax rules. This all points to the fact that VoIP has made a definite impression on American citizens and is here to stay. It may be difficult for some people to remove the telephone cords from their homes; we have depended on them for over 100 years. But once many people take the time to weigh the pros and the cons, most choose to go wireless. Here are some reasons, why you should make the switch to wireless.

1. Wireless Creates a Faster Network

Wireless networks are fast. With VoIP, you can create a network that incorporates data, audio, video, and computer web features. You can easily monitor your network for problems and troubleshooting is much simpler with web based applications rather than hardware applications. VoIP uses less bandwidth than other applications and this in the long run saves money. This is of special value to businesses. Businesses can also provide better customer service with integrated programs. Not only does this increase productivity, but also it saves time and money in the long run.


2. VoIP Saves You Money

Overall, VoIP is much more inexpensive then PSTN. You simply pay for your Internet service, and then whichever VoIP provider you choose. For a one time monthly fee, you can have unlimited local and long distance phone calls. You will need to check with the VoIP service provider that you choose for exact details on their rates. Sometimes, your VoIP service provider will allow free calls within the world to another computer, yet there may be a fee for calls worldwide to a landline phone. Always check with your chosen service provider for exact details regarding your chosen plan. Included in many VoIP service plans are free features. These features include Voicemail, Caller ID, Call Waiting, Do Not Disturb, and more. Again, check with your chosen service provider for an overview of all the features bundled with your plan. The biggest benefit is the unlimited long distance calling. This has proven to be the number one reason why most businesses are switching to VoIP. For businesses such as sales or jobs that have mobile employees, these benefits go without saying. But overall, the average cost of VoIP is considerably less when compared to the cost of PSTN.

3. VoIP Enables you to Talk with More than One Person at a Time


With VoIP, you can talk with more than one person without paying extra for services such as three way calling. With VoIP you can have more than three people on the phone at once. VoIP is the perfect solution for those who want to explore the features of conference calls. This is very important for businesses that have employees overseas. By using the video conferencing features, employers will increase their productivity.

4. Enjoy Greater Flexibility


By using VoIP, you can take your VoIP equipment with you whenever you travel. Your VoIP service provider will send you a converter that will allow you to use your converter with any standard telephone. The converter comes programmed with your telephone number, allowing you to take your phone and phone number with you worldwide. All you will need is a high speed Internet connection and you can use your VoIP phone service. This is of extreme benefit to mobile employees. No longer are outdated telecommunications systems necessary, or are employees trying to run businesses on prepaid cell phone plans. By using VoIP, an employee will have access to his/her phone number, wherever they are located. Whether out of state, in a hotel, or traveling on a business trip, customers will be able to call the same number as well as leave voice mail on the employee’s computer.

5. You can Save Money for Family and Friends by Choosing Your Area Code

Many VoIP service providers will give you the option of selecting your own area code number. This is a tremendous benefit to family and friend members who can call you locally, if you select the same area code number.

THE CONVERSATION OF RECOVERY

Transformational Counseling is all about assisting another human being to live a life that they love and to live it powerfully.  Transformational Counseling is about creating a space for others to learn how to transform their lives, to live a life differently from how it was in the past, to truly create what they desire.  Transformational Counseling is about assisting others in their getting and utilizing a powerful technology that will enable them to make a true difference in their life and in the lives of others.  Transformational Counseling is about assisting another to become present to how they have stopped themselves in their life and in the process transform their way of being in the world.  While comprised of a variety of distinctions that are important for understanding the process of transformation, the utilization of Transformational Counseling has five interrelated components that are crucial to its successful use with others and even with oneself.     

While this article will outline the basic principles and components of Transformational Counseling for assisting others, it will also explore its use with those who are experiencing drug and alcohol dependency problems.  Transformational Counseling makes available a very powerful technology for anyone who would like to create new possibilities for themselves including those who are in and struggling with recovery.  The primary reason for such application rests with the fact that we are all human beings, regardless of whether or not we are experiencing addiction oriented issues.  Given our sense of relatedness as human beings, our fundamental process for how we go about creating our world and what occurs there for us is the same.  Those who are in the process of entering the recovery process have merely chosen to use alcohol or drugs or both in the past to manage the pain and negative emotions generated from their self-limiting belief and in the process to take themselves out of the Conversation of life.  The use of alcohol and drug is merely a way to numb the intense pain generated by being their ego, who they think they are, their self-limiting belief.        

              

Transformational Counseling fully acknowledges the power of the human mind, of thought itself.  The thoughts that we have are very important, if not the most important component of what it is to be a human being in that our thoughts are truly creative in nature.  We are thinking beings that create initially from our thoughts.  Everything that we do or take on in life first began as a thought or idea.  It is very familiar for us to believe that the external world is that which is reality and that our thoughts are merely the effect or product of such a world.  From such a belief we tend to give little or no real credence to our thoughts and thinking patterns as being the fundamental cause in the matter.  As a result we commonly believe that in order for us to be truly happy we must manipulate or change something about the external world, other people, circumstances and situations.  However, within the conversation of Transformational Counseling it is our thoughts that shape or determine our experiences, our feelings and behavior and our very sense of reality.  Furthermore, it is the thought that we have or create about ourselves that forms the background of our life, the context from which we experience life itself, how the worlds occurs for us.              

Transformational Counseling also acknowledges that we are totally responsible for creating our thoughts and most importantly for that which we have about ourselves.  Our thoughts are not the result of things happening to us, either from circumstance, situations or the behavior of others but rather it is the interpretation or meaning that we give to the events that happen that makes them appear to us as they do.  Events do happen including those involving others but fundamental to understanding our natural, creative process is that it is about what we do with the events, what meaning we give or make them out to be about that determines our experience.  We are meaning making machines in a sense, constantly wrapping meaning around everything in life, people, places and things and most importantly about ourselves.  The meaning that we give or create with respect to an event will determine the experience that we have as a human being and with it how we feel, the emotions that we have, and also the behavior that will eventually result.  Every emotion that we experience and behavior that we cause is the result of thoughts that we create.  As mentioned above, the most important thought that we create is that which is about us, the definition that we give ourselves and it is that which determines or defines our self-image, who we think we are in the world.                 

The recognition that their own thinking may be that which is generating their negative experiences and dependency upon alcohol or drugs or both does not exist for individuals in recovery especially while they are actively using substances.  The difficulties that they are having are believed by them to have been caused by something external, their circumstance, life situations or even other people in their life.  As they continue to stay focused on that which is external in their attempt to cope with life or even to heal through recovery they are actually continuing to create the same type of experiences and life that originally brought them into recovery.  Associated with this way of being is that the individual will tend to assume little if any responsibility for himself.  What tends to get created is either blame or even guilt for what the individual is experiencing.  Without the recognition or acknowledgement of the true source of their experience and substance use the individual will continue to create the same type of experiences that they are having.  Unable to access their natural ability and power to transform their life will leave them having and being more of their past, the probable almost certain future.  Unfortunately, such a missing is not only present with the one suffering from dependency issues but also for the majority of the counselors attempting to assist those in recovery.  Most of the counselors working with those in recovery do not truly get the creative power of our thoughts or that we are completely responsible for creating them.          

The first distinction necessary for one to begin to transform their life has to do with the existence of the self-limiting belief.  Becoming present to the self-limiting belief is a process of getting what has truly stopped a person in his life, has stopped him from living a life that he loves and living it powerfully.  Once there is the distinction or awareness of the self-limiting belief, of what has been driving a person's bus, possibly for the first time in that individual's life the opportunity or space has been created for them to begin to create themselves anew, to reinvent themselves, to be differently in the world.  This creative act takes place with the inventing of possibilities.  It is by taking on creating and living into a person's possibilities that the individual begins to create a life much differently than how it once was before a Conversation of transformation.  Once possibilities have been created a person next learns how to consistently be or live inside his possibilities by learning the process of enrollment.  Once the technology of enrollment is gotten and one begins to consistently apply it in his life, it is by engaging in the development of a Daily Plan and staying in the Conversation with others that the technology of transformation becomes fully realized and lived for the person.  This powerful technology is applicable to both the one being assisted and the person doing the assisting and can only be fully realized when both are involved in the Conversation.  

The self-limiting belief is a belief that we have about ourselves, about who we think we are in the world.  The self-limiting belief is a belief that has affected if not determined our life in the past, is shaping what we think, say, feel, and do in the present and will generate our future.  Within the Conversation of Transformational Counseling, the self-limiting belief is a thought or idea that has its genesis between the ages of three and six.  An event took place in the individual's life, an event that the child believes should not have happened as it did and as a child the individual made a judgment or gave the event meaning.  Given that for a child everything is about them, it is from this event and the meaning that they invented about it that the child also created an idea about itself, about who they think they are in the world as a result of the event.  The child next converts the idea into a belief, a belief that is all about their sense of adequacy, value or worth as person.  A sense of something is wrong or not being enough about the self is created.  Getting the distinction of the self-limiting belief is crucial to the individual's personal growth and continued development.  If the individual does not get the distinction of the self limiting belief, if it stays hidden from them, of who they have been being, their life will remain as it has always been, as they will continue to be the person they think they truly are.  Such a distinction can be gotten several ways.  One way, for example, is to have a person begin to monitor their spoken word.  Becoming present to what they actually say will eventually reveal the self-limiting belief.  Another way to get the distinction of our self-limiting belief is to monitor our self-talk.  The self-limiting belief actually exists inside our everyday language, in the words that we say especially when reference is made about the self and inside our inner voice.  Even though its genesis is from the past, the self-limiting belief exists in our real time play, self Conversation in the present.                       

For the individual who is experiencing the pain of alcohol and drug dependency, getting this distinction is crucial to their transformation and also for them to be successful in their recovery.  While a Conversation about the existence of the self-limiting belief is very unfamiliar to anyone, there will also be a tendency for the addicted individual to not want to discover it.  Common to all human beings, we tend to want to keep our self-limiting belief hidden from ourselves and especially from others.  No individual, at least initially, wants to share with another their sense of inadequacy but rather is caught up in looking good or not looking bad to others.  We generate a great deal of energy in our attempt to repress its existence, energy that will eventually have a very negative consequence for our way of being or existence in the world.  The very process of engaging in a Conversation about the self-limiting belief will eventually recreate the negative emotions associated with the cravings for substances.  To become present to the self-limiting belief will necessitate that the individual experience that which is hidden in their fundamental way of being inauthentic in life.  Once gotten the individual will also experience the negative emotions that the self-limiting belief generates and it is inside the emotional state that gets created that the addicted individual will have a tendency to want to fix by returning to very familiar ways, to using drugs and alcohol.  However, unless the self-limiting belief is gotten life will tend to be as it has been in the past resulting in a probable almost certain future.               

The second component of this process is that of creating possibilities for oneself.  Creating possibilities is the process of redefining or reinventing oneself, of actually creating new language and words from which to begin to develop a new and more powerful, self-expressed individual.  Once the individual becomes present to who they have been being in the world, to their self-limiting belief and the impact that it has had in his life, both on himself and others, a space is now created or opened up for them to literally say or declare who they will now be for themselves, others and the world.  Such a process of redefining oneself is as simple as initially creating new words from which to begin to speak or refer to oneself as being.  For example, if an individual's self limiting belief is that he is "not enough," he could begin to redefine or invent himself as the possibilities of "acceptance", "creativity" and "leadership" merely by declaring and intentioning himself to be these possibilities in his spoken word.  Creating such new language from which to refer to oneself will become for that person his new self-affirmation.  Committing such a self-created affirmation to ones spoken word will create a space from which the individual will have the opportunity to experience life differently, a life of power, freedom and full self-expression.  Such a declaration is not merely linguistical but will begin to call forth action.  Who we are, who we say we are, will eventually determine what we do and have in life.        

The listening for the Conversation of possibilities will be even more unfamiliar than the one about the self-limiting belief.  Even though possibilities will be caused for the individual and a sense of hope and inspiration created, there will be a tendency at some point for the person to not belief that their life can be truly transformed merely by creating possibilities.  Even when the person gets the existence of his self-limiting belief, how he has been being that in his life and the impact upon himself and others as a result, a sense of doubt will arise that mere words or language will truly assist them in transforming their life let alone cause them to be successful with respect to their recovery.  As with a newborn child, the existence of possibilities once invented or created will be quite fragile.  There will be in the beginning of this Conversation a tendency to return to being ones self-limiting belief if for no other reason than it is familiar to the person.  The self-limiting belief is about life in their comfort zone, from the ego, in what is reasonable and familiar to them.  Even though the individual will become enrolled into his possibilities it is in the person's initial not getting of its application in life that will leave it vulnerable.  The individual will return to his community and with this reentry a breakdown will happen.  The success of this process will rest upon the individual continuing to stay in the Conversation about his possibilities and also upon the one assisting to continue to generate the space necessary for this creative process to be lived fully.          

The third component of Transformational Counseling is that of enrollment.  Enrollment is the process of continuing to stay inside or live into ones possibilities and out of ones self-limiting belief.  The process or technology of enrollment will be vital when ones starts to again experience a loss of power, freedom or self expression which is equitable to the negative human emotions of anger, depression, etc.  When we have such an experience our past has again reappeared for us.  Such reappearance is merely our self-limiting belief once again determining who we are in the world.  Once again our self-limiting belief is driving our bus.  The process of enrollment allows us to get the inauthenticity that we have created by again being our self-limiting belief.  Enrollment allows us to get present to what we are pretending about the experience and what we are hiding.  The pretense is always about another person, place or thing and with it there is the experience of some sort of sense of threat and blame.  The story from pretense has something to do with the other person, situation or circumstance causing us to feel a certain way.  Enrollment technology allows us to get that we created the pretense, the story, and furthermore what the experience is truly all about.  Becoming present to what is hidden from us in the experience allows us to again make the distinction of our self-limiting belief and that which is truly creating the experience.  It is our self-limiting belief that actually creates the breakdown due to the individual's sense of inadequacy with respect to the situation, circumstance or interactions with another.  Once we become present to that which is creating the inauthenticity we are able to give it up through enrollment and again reinvent ourselves through the creation or even regeneration of our possibilities.  Once a person does enrollment with himself the inauthenticity he created disappears and with it the individual's power, freedom and full self-expression is once again restored.          

The creation of possibilities will begin a process of bringing forth action.  The individual who takes on creating possibilities for himself and his life will become very motivated to do and be differently in life.  With the creation of possibilities the person will experience a renewed sense of power, freedom and self-expression.  However, it is in this breakthrough of creating possibilities that the person will eventually experience breakdowns in the various domains of his life especially when he begins to live life on life's terms.  When the individual returns to his community, to life as it was before the recovery process started, there will be a tendency to experience breakdowns.  When one returns to his community there will exist a discrepancy of how he was being before his transformation began and how he is being now from possibilities.  When one returns to his community there will also be a tendency to return to familiar ways of being and dealing with the circumstances and situations of life and even other people.  It is within his return that the technology of enrollment will be crucial to his continued transformation and recovery.  The use of enrollment will allow the person to get how he is actually creating the breakdown himself, to get how he is creating a story about the situation, circumstance or others and most importantly the source of this creation, his self-limiting belief.  The self-limiting belief generates the context from which the world occurs for us.  Knowing that he is creating this experience from the background of his self-limiting belief will give him the power to choose, the power to return to being his possibilities thereby allowing him to experience the circumstance, situation or another in a manner that is in alignment with or from his possibilities.           

The Daily Plan is the fourth component in the utilization of the technology of Transformational Counseling.  Transformational Counseling is not merely about understanding the power of our thoughts but ultimately about action.  We live in a world of action and for us to make a difference in our life as well as in that of another we must ultimately create through action.  The Daily Plan allows one the opportunity to begin to create their life anew by assisting them in monitoring their day-to-day activities and behavior.  As our possibilities will call forth action, the Daily Plan allows one the opportunity to begin to create their life differently by planning what they will specifically take on or do to create or bring forth their chosen possibilities in their lives. The Daily Plan is about making a commitment to oneself to fulfill on their intentions, to fulfill on being their possibilities.  One of the fundamental elements of this structure is how will an individual measurably bring forth his possibilities into his life, how will he go about practically creating them for myself and in the world.  The Daily Plan also allows one the opportunity to stay present to his self-limiting belief as it arises in the act of fulfilling on his Daily Plan.  Having a breakthrough with the creation of possibilities and especially with their implementation in life will eventually create a breakdown too.  With the use of a Daily Plan the person will have the opportunity to become present to what is stopping him and as a result get back into generating his possibilities through enrollment and as a result continue to create from the present. 

While the use of the Daily Plan will support and assist the individual in his transformation and recovery, there will also be a tendency to not complete it on a consistent basis.  The use of the Daily Plan is antithetical to the existence of the self-limiting belief, with the way of being the individual is very familiar with.  In addition to assisting the individual in creating the life that he wants and to be able to distinguish his self-limiting belief as it reappears, the Daily Plan is also about ones commitment and integrity both to himself and others.  When the individual develops or creates his Daily Plan he will be making a commitment to himself and others, to what he says that he wants to create in his life.  Once the individual's plans for his transformation and recovery are made real by committing them to written form in his Daily Plan, it will become an issue of integrity, of doing what he said he would do, of doing complete work with whatever he does and of doing what he does as it was meant to be done.  It is only be staying in integrity and fulfilling on his commitments to himself and others that he will be able to live into his possibilities, to transform his life.  The individual will either be his self-limiting belief or his possibilities and it is through his integrity that he will have the opportunity to become present to his commitment or intension in life.  The Daily Plan is a powerful technique that will effectively assist one in his transformation and recovery.                   

   

The Conversation is the fifth component of Transformational Counseling and is about enrollment and the self-limiting belief reappearing in ones commitments to his Daily Plan.  While identified as the fifth component of this process, the Conversation actually begins when one is introduced to the work of transformation.  It will always be a question of whether or not one will stay in the Conversation to continue to do the work of transformation after enrollment has taken place.  However, the Conversation is about communicating with another through the enrollment process.  It is in the Conversation that we have the opportunity to begin and continue utilizing the technology of Transformational Counseling.  There will always be breakdowns in life even as we utilize the work of transformation.  When we once again experience a loss of power, freedom and self-expression our past has reappeared again in our life and with it a breakdown.  Staying in the Conversation with another person within transformation will give us the opportunity to become present to the inauthentic way of being that we have recreated and also to create the space for us to experience another breakthrough.  It is only in a Conversation with another where we get the stories that we invent in the pretense about others, situations and circumstances that we will have an opportunity to also get present to that which is hidden from our view, the context, that which is truly creating our breakdown experience.  That which is hidden is always from our past and has to do in some manner with our self-limiting belief.  Furthermore, it is only from this distinction that a clearing will be caused to live in possibility again.  The Conversation is about enrollment, enrolling ourselves and assisting others through enrollment.  It is only in communication with another that we can continue to be and live into our possibilities and with it stay in the work of transformation with another and ourselves.       

As alluded to above, there will be a tendency to want to leave the Conversation especially when one has first gotten or been introduced to the technology of transformation and Transformational Counseling.  The initial experience of power, freedom and full self expression is very enrolling and with this feeling of being touched, moved and inspired by our possibilities one may create a belief that no future work is really necessary.  However, the technology of transformation is not something that you simply get but something that is constantly gotten.  When not in communication with others inside the Conversation of transformation there will be a tendency to stop doing the work and go back to what is familiar and especially to the familiar ways that we attempted to resolve breakdowns.  It is the familiar that is within the world of the self-limiting belief.  As mentioned above, the self-limiting does not go away, it is there throughout our life.  While the self-limiting belief will reappear in our life through a breakdown, staying in the Conversation with another will assist us in distinguishing the inauthenticity that we create and once again empower us to get back into or create new possibilities for ourselves.  Continuing the work of transformation by staying in the Conversation with others is not familiar and in many respects unreasonable.  However, staying in the Conversation is crucial to our continued transformation as a human being living in the world and to the recovery process too.      

I am currently the Director of Outpatient Services at the Holistic Addiction Treatment Program in North Miami Beach, Florida.  In working with people entering recovery in both the inpatient and outpatient programs it has been my experience that one of the first behaviors that will appear for the individual entering a relapse mode is when he takes himself out of the Conversation.  This process of taking oneself out of the Conversation applies to whether one is attending transformational oriented group sessions or attending daily AA or NA meetings for those the 12 Step Program in recovery.  When the person stops seeking and having human contact with people assisting him in his recovery, when one drops out of communication with other human beings who are helping him to transform his life, there will be a tendency to go back to that which is familiar for dealing with breakdowns.  For those in recovery one of the familiar ways of attempting to fix a breakdown is to self-medicate with either alcohol or drugs or both.  When the individual cuts himself off from the very process of his transformation and recovery, cuts himself off from communicating with another human being about what he is experiencing, the relapse process has begun for that person.  The individual is once again unable to get how he is creating the breakdown and how to transform it.                

Staying present to the existence of his self-limiting belief, generating his possibilities through his Daily Plan and processing breakdowns with others through enrollment does create the space for the individual to transform his life, be enrolled into the 12 Step Program and be successful in recovery.  Much of why this technology is not utilized in the recovery field or even in the mental health arena is that most counselors are not even aware of its existence.  For example, most counselors are not aware or present to the concept of a self-limiting belief let alone how it will, if not distinguished, continue to create a barrier or constraint for another.  Most counselors are not even aware of the actual power of our thinking, of how we actually create our experiences, thoughts, feeling and behavior.  Unfortunately, this lack of awareness as to how we create the occurring world leaves most counselors being able to only focus on that which is external to the client, that is, situations, circumstances and other people and their behavior.  When we focus on that which is external to the client and engage in a discussion about situation, circumstance or another we run the risk of not generating the space for the client to get how he actually created or is continuing to create his experiences.  When we are unable to assist a client in discovering how he actually created his situation, circumstance or relationship to another through his thinking and thoughts we run the risk of having the client assume little if any responsibility for his life, reinforcing or supporting a state of total disempowerment and leaving  the probable almost certain future for the client.

What Is Spam?

You have probably seen an increase in the amount of junk mail which shows up in your email box, or on your favorite newsgroup. The activities of a small number of people are becoming a bigger problem for the Internet.

Chain letters that ask for money, whether for reports or just straight up, are illegal in the US whether they are in postal mail or e-mail. Report these frauds to your local US Postmaster. You may see e-mail coming from Nigeria or another African country, sent by someone who wants to use your bank account to transfer 20 million dollars. This is called a '419' scam and people have been killed over it.

Spam is flooding the Internet with many copies of the same message, in an attempt to force the message on people who would not otherwise choose to receive it. Most spam is commercial advertising, often for dubious products, get-rich-quick schemes, or quasi-legal services. Spam costs the sender very little to send -- most of the costs are paid for by the recipient or the carriers rather than by the sender. To the recipient, spam is easily recognizable. If you hired someone to read your mail and discard the spam, they would have little trouble doing it. How much do we have to do, short of AI, to automate this process? I think we will be able to solve the problem with fairly simple algorithms. In fact, I've found that you can filter present-day spam acceptably well using nothing more than a Bayesian combination of the spam probabilities of individual words. Using a slightly tweaked (as described below) Bayesian filter, we now miss less than 5 per 1000 spams, with 0 false positives.

One particularly nasty variant of email spam is sending spam to mailing lists (public or private email discussion forums.) Because many mailing lists limit activity to their subscribers, spammers will use automated tools to subscribe to as many mailing lists as possible, so that they can grab the lists of addresses, or use the mailing list as a direct target for their attacks.

How To Have Great Ideas

Want to have great ideas? You could try waiting to see if they pop into your head someday, and they honestly might. However, if you want a more systematic method you can use today, here it is in three simple steps:

1. Get knowledge in the area in which you want the ideas.

2. Use idea-generating techniques.

3. Choose the best ideas from the results.

Great Ideas Start With Knowledge

You wouldn't expect to come up with a new theory of relativity if you had no knowledge in physics or mathematics. You need some degree of knowledge in the area in which you want new ideas. For truly great ideas, it helps to have a great deal of knowledge.

To create a new transportation device, for example, you would want general knowledge in that field, as well as more specific knowledge. This might include knowing a little about all the current modes of transportation. You might add to that a list of things that have been tried and failed, and a list of all the things that people want in their transportation.

Great Ideas From Techniques

Ideas and inventions start in the mind, and the mind follows certain patterns and rules. This is why tools such as problem solving techniques and other idea generating techniques work so well. Consider the "concept combination" technique, for example. Tell your mind that you need a useful combination of a plane and a motorcycle, and it will search until it finds it. This mind took twenty seconds to imagine wings that expand out at high speed from a motorcycle, allowing it to glide right off the edge of a cliff.

The technique of redefining problems in many ways can open whole new areas to explore. Redefining "inexpensive homes" as "ways to help people afford homes" has lead to all sorts of new financing methods that have made it easier to buy a home even as prices have risen. If "better job" becomes "better way to make money" you open a whole range of possibilities. There are dozens of great idea generating techniques to choose from, each with it's own advantage.

Many Ideas To Choose From

The more ideas you come up with, the more likely you are to find good ones to work with. This is why you should learn the systematic ways to produce new concepts. Finally, if "great" means "important" to you, you need to work in important areas. There's nothing wrong with inventing a better clothes hanger, but if you want to change the world, start working on new ways to save the environment, ways to end hunger, new political processes that avert wars and other great ideas.

Facebook Hyper Traffic & Your Official Presence on Facebook – Opportunities and Pitfalls

Your Official Presence on Facebook – Opportunities and Pitfalls

The Internet, as a medium, has opened the doors to a wide range of communication possibilities with customers. The interactive characteristic of the medium also makes it possible for a customer to publish his response to a vast audience. Social networking sites, particularly Facebook, which is getting increasingly popular around the world, have given customers an equal opportunity to communicate as loudly as you about your brand, in a public forum open to the whole world.

On the brighter side, there is a great opportunity to acquire direct and unadulterated feedback from customers, without the need of expensive and time-consuming surveys and research processes. Directly redressing customer queries on the medium itself can help increase brand loyalty.  However, as a brand owner, you need to realize the speed and potential of the medium to do good as well as harm.  http://tinyurl.com/go2facebook

Facebook Opportunity for Your Brand

There are enough reasons for a brand to be on one of the most happening mediums. A significant amount of conversation that happens on Facebook, or for that matter on other social platforms like Twitter, carries references to brands, with customer's attitude toward these clearly seen through them. 

The fact is that whether you are there on Facebook, it is very likely that someone or the other from your customer base may be making a mention about you. Your brand presence during such a situation is important to either thank the customer for any accolades or gracefully respond and address any grievances posted by the customers and win back their confidence in your brand.

On a proactive note, sustained brand presence on Facebook also helps you create your own band of customers, including those interested in you. This gives you one point access to disburse any firsthand brand information in a single click, without spending a dime more.

Today, brands – both big and small – have a presence on Facebook. Some of them use it with more innovation than the rest. 

Brand Pitfalls on Facebook

Traditional marketers are used to broadcast, which is an extremely formal means of communication, where customers voices are barely heard back. Coming from this background, many a time, marketers find it difficult to adjust and converse in the language demanded by social networking sites, which are much informal in nature. 

There have been instances where brand owners trying to enforce rules and guidelines of discussion on Facebook fan pages have faced the immediate wrath of users, which had an adverse impact on the brand. The lesson from this is very clear, the brand must try to avoid any pitfalls on Facebook; marketers must know the responsiveness and energy levels of the users and be one among them, rather than one above. 

Word of Caution – World of opportunity in Facebook

For every scary story of a brand goof up on Facebook, there are many cases of success, where even small household brands have grown in popularity through effective use of the medium.

Two golden rules to be followed while using Facebook, which can yield good results in the long run, are as follows:

• Do not be a big brother – be a cheerful friend to your customers. The big brother attitude, which worked fine in traditional media, can kill your brand on Facebook. Any showdown of brand arrogance or one-upmanship is given a bitter response by its customers in the same medium. For a brand to succeed, it has to be a friend, who is fun to speak with.
• Do not advertise, converse – Blatant advertising, or use of social networks for incessant spamming with interruptive advertising, is a sure recipe for disaster. You will find your brand page getting isolated on Facebook.

There are many ethics to be followed on Facebook and social media, which can be easily grasped through active participation in the medium itself. A company must ensure that its trained representatives have marked presence on Facebook and social networking avenues as true online custodians for the brand. For many companies, it also makes sense to engage an agency that is experienced in handling brand reputations on Facebook and online avenues.

WARNING: You might not be prepared for this outcome...

 I don't know why... but it's easy to spend money on a coffee and donut, or that extra pair of jeans or trainers we don't

really need, or that latest exercise gadget to replace our old dusty one that never gets used, isn't it?

I don't blame anyone if they feel the same... because it's easy to spend money on the things we THINK will make us

happy and change our lives, but not on the things that WILL make us TRULY happy.

Most people don't really know WHAT will make them happy, that's why.

I can't speak for you personally, but I'm pretty sure I know what's making you unhappy right now in your life...

[1.] You hate your job

[2.] You hate counting the pennies

[3.] You're sick of spiralling debt

[4.] You're sick of being tired and stressed out

[5.] You hate begging your boss for time off work (and being denied more often than not)

[6.] You can't cope with giving your kids second best

[7.] You never seem to get enough sleep, or feel full of energy

[8.] You hate making someone else rich, and getting no reward for your hard work or appreciated

[9.] You can't stand wasting time working hard, and getting nowhere in life

[10.] You hate staying awake at night worrying about bills, emergencies or the future...

How did I score? 

Maybe at least two or three out of ten, right?

Wanna know how I know all this? It's because I WAS IN YOUR SHOES not so long ago. We've all been there, but sadly only

a few people ever escape that constant HAMSTER WHEEL of STRESS and misery that most 9-5 employees have to suffer.

Heck, even those who break away and work from home as a freelancer don't get it easy either. They are under more

stress sometimes, because they don't have job security and still have to trade time for money.

But when you finally figure out a way to stop trading time for money, life changes in ways you can barely imagine.

The good news is, unlike millions of people who go through their lives without a hope of change, YOU actually do have a

choice right in front of you today.

==>http://viralurl.com/s/Facebook-Hyper-Traffix

The choice is SIMPLE.

You can either...

- keep paying

- keep learning

- keep making your own mistakes

- keep the dream alive

- keep beating yourself up

- keep your stress levels high

- keep borrowing time and money

- keep juggling a day job and a stressful evening at the computer

- keep your family second guessing and doubting you

OR...

You can finally take a *HUGE* short cut and save yourself YEARS of wasted money and stress...

==>http://viralurl.com/s/Facebook-Hyper-Traffix

...and once and for all, prove people WRONG about you, by starting a business that runs itself, and makes more money

in a single month, than most doctors and lawyers make ALL YEAR ROUND.

All thanks to a system which allows the LITTLE GUY to *finally* get back on a level playing field... and slam home

the kind of money that will allow you to provide yourself and your family with that STABLE, secure, comfortable and

elite lifestyle...

...and of course, ENJOY life without four walls and red tape holding you back, depressing you and keeping you from all

the memories and fun that is passing you by out there.

And now two cool guys are literally handing all this to you on a plate, to share the wealth - and the sheer FUN - that

this kind of mass marketing can QUICKLY bring to you.

Don't let anyone tell you this can't be done... because YOU CAN DO THIS.

It's not rocket science. In fact, you can probably do better than others did... especially if you're a smart person.

http://XXXX.trafficfb.hop.clickbank.net

============================

Listen, 20 years ago, this would have been technologically and physically impossible for the everyday person... 

...but the internet is making people rich beyond their wildest dreams... all because we can dip our hands into millions of people's wallets without ever having to leave

our warm comfy homes.

But only when you know *how*. There IS a right way and a wrong way... there are many mistakes - some which can cost you thousands - that can be made. 

There are many years of steep and stressful learning curves too... but you don't have to suffer like that!

Right now, you have the chance to change your life thanks to the internet, and more specifically, thanks to Facebook!

And you never need to risk a single penny either. This whole thing is protected by a solid 60 day guarantee, so you can

give this a fair shot and see what happens. 

..in FACT, they will PAY YOU $100, if you can't make this work!

If you don't make the same amounts of cash that others are making with this thing, then you won't pay a single penny.

Get in whilst you can

P.S - You need to hurry. Life won't wait for you to catch up. You don't know what might be waiting for you around the

corner, or when you need that emergency cash.

And besides, do you really want to stomach another 6 months of grinding away for the boss? Do you really want to torture

yourself the long and hard way to scraping a few dribbles of traffic from the old online marketing methods?

  [X] No more article marketing

  [X] No more blogging

  [X] No more PPC

  [X] No more PPV

Screw that... Hyper FB Traffic means no more slogging way without a chance. No more wasting time and money on methods

that never really worked well in the first place. Get your life back, before it's too late...

==>http://viralurl.com/s/Facebook-Hyper-Traffix

P.P.S - Today's date is always difficult for millions of people around the world. It's a date that digs up dark

memories and feelings we all wish we could escape from forever. 

It's also a reminder of how precious and uncertain life really is. None of us know what the future holds, so we have

no choice but to live for today.

With that being said, the sad reality is that despite knowing this, many folks forget to actually LIVE by that mantra.

Let's face it, some folks will never invest in their future, even if their current situation is crying out for a serious

change. They usually just "forget", or "put it on hold."

We easily forget to "live for today" because we're so caught up in our daily lives. But the rush hour traffic, the

screaming boss, cooking dinner, going to the gym... is that REALLY "LIVING?"

All I know is this... 

For many people, these daily routines drain the years like quick sand... and the last thing we want to do, is look back

on our lives regretfully and say "I didn't make the most of my time here..."

You don't want that, neither do I. 

Today is your chance to make things happen differently from now on. Make life worth living, exciting, rewarding, and

comfortable.

The Painful Truth - The Coffee House Letter

The Coffee House Letter - By Mike Dillard

A Must Read For Anyone Wanting To Work At Home...

Why Networkers Are Throwing in the Towel on Downline Buiding, And Using a New Concept Called G.P.T. to Make More Money Than Ever...

 

Location: Starbucks, 1:47 P.M.
Subject: "The Painful Truth"

If you're looking to achieve financial freedom from home, specifically through a "MLM" or network marketing opportunity, you're in for a rude awakening my friend.

If you're already in that trenches, fighting with every breath you've got for much less money than it's worth, it's not your fault... The times have changed.

What I'm about to share with you right now may anger some, but will help countless others.

You see, the industry is changing rapidly and the purpose of this document, "The 11 Deadly Sins," is to warn you, or at least make you aware of some very unsettling insights that need your immediate attention if you plan to make more than $10,000/mo from home in 2008 and beyond.

Whatever you do, read this document thoroughly. I took out every sentence that wasn't relevant to keep the length as short as possible, so if it's in these pages, consider it information that is absolutely vital.

Now I'm going to go ahead and assume that you're either pursuing a home business of some kind right now, or that you have pursued one in the past. If you're in neither group, then consider yourself extremely fortunate, as the information in this document will save you years of blood, sweat, tears, and money.

So what's going on?

Well, in a nutshell, the promises of old-school MLM and "life-long" residual income are all but dead for the average person. They have been cut down at the knees by an unlikely culprit whom I'll reveal to you a little further down this page.

I know you've seen the symptoms. In fact, I guarantee they are plaguing your organization at this very moment… But what you might not understand or give proper respect to is the cause behind them:

My Questions to You Are These:

Is your organization being depleted by constant attrition?

Is your downline full of complaining reps who need constant hand-holding?

Are you tired of working your tail off for a few hundred or few thousand dollars when you feel like you should be making ten times more for your efforts?

Sick of the "gotcha" comp plans that cut your check in half with the "get 3, who get 3, who get 3", structure requirements?

I hear you friend… And You're not the only one.

Right now, network marketing is in a struggle to find itself in a time where people leave as fast as they join, the cost to sign a new rep has sky-rocketed, and when "newer, bigger, and better" dominates the landscape which basically means…

Trying To Build A Downline In The Internet Age
Is Like Trying To Fill A Leaking Bucket.

You can get ahead of the curve for a while if you have the time, money, and energy, but it's only a matter of time before it will drain dry.

Yes, it's a brave new world for network marketers, but fear not…

In an industry where hype and the pre-launch have become the norm, a growing trend is quickly gaining popularity with professional networkers who are sick of the 3-ring circus MLM has become.

It's A Concept Called G.P.T., And It's Going
To Play A Major Role In Networking From
This Point Forward.

No, G.P.T. is not a company. It's not an opportunity, and it's not a product or system of any kind.

It's an answer. A solution to tiny checks, leaking downlines, and the "quick turn" mentality that has taken over MLM.

It will allow you to put tens-of-thousands of dollars of cash into your pocket in weeks and months… Not years. But the best part about G.P.T., is that you won't even have to build a downline.

MLM as You Know it is Dead…
And the Internet Killed It.

Network marketing has always been based on the idea of working for 3-5 years and building a life long residual income that you can will to your grandkids.

Sounds good…

And it may have been true at one time, but not today. Not anymore.

Now, now… I'm not insane.

I promise.

Let me show you what I mean by such a (true) statement...

Stand with me for a moment atop our private mountain, and look out over the entire network marketing industry…

It's not pretty, but in one word here is what you'll find:

Incest.

A finite group of people who are traded like cattle from one company to another every 9 to 12 months.

They were once called junkies, but the infection has spread to people above that description.

Network Marketing has become obsessed with "timing", "pre-launches", and "the next big thing", but the cause behind that obsession is what truly scares me. I'll explain why shortly, but all you need to realize is that…

Pandora's Box has been opened and we will never be able to close it.

Why? What's causing this gruesome condition?

The Answer Is Simple…

The number of new people coming into MLM each year is now drastically out of proportion with the number of new company start ups.

Thousands of new MLM's launch every year thanks to the internet. You can literally start your own company from your bedroom if you want.

But there are only so many people to go around.

Welcome to the world of the Pre-Launch. A company's only chance to catch the attention of networkers, and steer them away from their current opportunity with the promise of "getting in on the ground floor."

Before you know it, the game has started AGAIN. This time around a company that promises to be the biggest and best with their new patented Wonder Vitamin 2000 that will change the world.

Networkers inevitably flock to it by the ten's of thousands trying to "get in on top".

And if they don't, it doesn't matter because another shiny new MLM will launch in about 9-12 months, and when it does, and the music stops, the people at the bottom scramble to find their seat in the chain, destroying their old company from the bottom up in the process.

This has resulted in a vicious cat fight between these companies over a dwindling supply of warm bodies, complete with name calling, back-stabbing, and an endless supply of lawsuits.

Make no mistake about it… In network marketing, people are the commodity that is traded, and YOU are very valuable.

The "B-Zone" is Gone and
Took Your Residual Income With It!

Before the internet, organizations and companies were protected by an information buffer zone which shielded them from this onslaught of people, opinions, competitors, and ads.

It's this buffer zone that allowed relationships to be built, skills to be learned, and loyalties to strengthened.

But the internet destroyed it in the blink of an eye.

It happens all the time...

You're sitting pretty on top of a fairly large organization. You think you've finally found that "residual" pot of income gold at the end of the rainbow.

You're making about $20,000 a month. You quit your job 5 months ago, bought a new house, that new sports car you've always wanted, and paid off all your debt.

Life is good...

Then one day, the company changes their compensation plan just a little bit.

One of your leaders is NOT happy about it. They decide to move to another company, and with one click of a mouse... With one single email to his list of a few thousand recipients upline, downline and side-line... He basically destroys dozens of people's businesses, cutting their checks in half or even worse... Including yours.

The income you're relying on to pay the mortgage, invest for retirement, and put your kids through school literally vanishes overnight.

If something similar to this scenario hasn't happened to you yet... It will.

It's a sobering thought when you realize that your lively-hood in an MLM business is completely dependent upon strangers you've never met.

You don't know their long-term plans. You don't know about their family problems, and you don't know what they'll do next, yet your check is dependent upon them and thousands of others just like them because you simply cannot earn a full-time living on your own personal efforts with an MLM compensation plan. It's not designed for that.

This wasn't a problem in the past, but it is today.

You see, the internet is a tool that allows communication at a level that has never been seen by the world before, where opinions, rumors, promotions, and advertisements can now spread across the globe faster than you can blink your eye.

Massive revenues can be gained or lost in days for a company with nothing more than a well placed negative opinion report on the search engines.

Downlines can be destroyed overnight by false rumors or leaders who jump ship.

Distributors have instant access to an endless supply of tools, systems, leaders, training, opinions, and sales pitches which continuously plant seeds of doubt, and distract them with promises of better, faster, and easier.

Competing ads can be flaunted on the very door-step of a company's search engine results.

And There's Nothing You Can Do About It.

The very moment your new distributor feels frustration… Feels trapped… Feels failure… He or she will instantly open up to the endless supply of alternatives filling their inboxes on a daily basis with the very thing that will cure their pain – and 'poof', they are gone.

There is no long-term commitment because networkers are only as loyal as his or her options, and thanks to the internet, their options are now endless and one click away.

If you're a leader in the industry, you know exactly what I'm talking about and from this point forward, it's never going to stop.

For better or worse, this is the new reality of network marketing.

How The Game Is Played Today:

The first and most critical observation to note is that the very economics of MLM are changing. The cost of sponsoring a new rep in the cold market continues to spiral upward, while the actual return and "life time value" of that rep continues to decline.

We are faced with the fact that…

• Full page ads in an industry magazine that cost $500 eight years ago, now costs $3,000.
• Email marketing is dead, and the ability to advertise in a massive, targeted, and affordable way died with it.
• You will be forced to recruit everyday for the lifespan of your business just to combat the constant attrition that will plague your organization.
• The all important practice of retailing has become taboo, putting 90%+ of the focus and attention of the business on recruiting instead of customer acquisition which is where the long-term, stable money is found.
• The industry holds less and less appeal to the white collar business professional who has a hard time seeing how he/she's going to quickly replace a six-figure income peddling vitamins and fruit juice.
• Systematic team training has become next to impossible as new systems pop up from different leaders within the same company every 30 days, which promise to be the answer for the struggling newbie.
• Instead of focusing on the development of personal skills and a single system, an "I'll try this for a few weeks", lottery mentality for lead sources, websites, and magical tools that will "build the business for you", has taken over.

So What Now?

Well that's the million-dollar question isn't it?

You know… I have to be honest. There is no right or wrong answer.

It really all depends on what you personally want out of your business, and if you're willing to deal with the negatives that come with an MLM these days.

If you'd like to build a new business every 9-24 months… Hey… Go for it. There's LOTS of money to be made quickly in MLM right now. It's just not going to last anywhere near as long as it used to and you'll probably find your business receding just as fast as it grew.

As for us, that kind of merry-go-round has no appeal because we've cut through the hype and come to a sobering conclusion...

It does't matter what company you build in MLM. You're going to face the same challenges we just mentioned above in all of them. The industry itself had changed, and you're never going to find a single product or compensation plan that will fix it.

No…

I'm sorry to say, but the promise of life-long residual income is all but gone. There's the rare 1 in 1000 exception, but as a whole, Network Marketing has turned into a 3-ring circus of "quick-turn" building driven by greed, hype, and fear of loss where only the true, incredibly skilled professionals can reliably make any significant amount of money.

We're tired of the jumping, the attrition, the rumor control, the baby-sitting, having to explain why one opportunity is better than another. Dealing with prospects who think $300 to start a business is too much money… Seriously…

It's just not worth our time, it's not fun, and we know for a fact that a quickly growing list of industry professionals are coming to the same conclusion which is opening the door to the concept of G.P.T.

If You'd Like To Make More Money Faster
Without The Financial Risks Of A Downline,
G.P.T Is The Answer You've Been Waiting For.

It's actually been around a few years already, but G.P.T. is quickly becoming THE solution for the challenges facing network marketers in the internet age.

G.P.T. stands for: "Get Paid Today", which is a concept that summarizes the growing change of focus in the MLM industry from a long-term residual income, to immediate leveraged income.

The Premise Of Get Paid Today Is Simple:

If networkers are going to bounce around from program to program… If competing companies are going to advertise on your front door with a "better/cheaper" product, and if the cost of sponsoring a new rep continues to soar, then the answer is simple:

Get paid a year or more worth of residuals
on Day One no matter what happens.

Look…

• In the age of the internet, distributors come and go like the wind, so Get Paid Today.
• "Bigger and better" opportunities launch every six months, taking a piece of your downline with it, so Get Paid Today.
• Money is worth more in your pocket today than it is next year, so Get Paid Today and invest that cash into real residual income streams outside the MLM circus like real-estate or the market (or if you have access to private investment opportunities like I personally do through my primary networking business, I would recommend things like that so you can see triple-digit returns :)
• It costs more than ever to advertise and sponsor a new rep, so Get Paid a year or more of residual income Today, instead of waiting for the $5.00 commissions to roll in over months or years.
• Most networkers are only employee minded people pretending to be entrepreneurs, which means they'll rarely do what it takes to be successful, so Get Paid Today for your time and training whether they build a business or not.
• White collar professionals aren't interested in working 3-4 hours a night selling vitamins for a $500 - $1,000 check, so offer them a vehicle that they can Get Paid Today, and realistically make $10,000/mo within just 5 to 10 customers a month.
• Buidling a MLM that pays out $10,000 per month requires building a downline of thousands. Get Paid Today and make $10,000 with just 10 customers or less.

Do you see how profound this concept is in today's MLM environment? How it solves all of the problems network marketers are facing?

This compressed and rapid flow of income also brings the dream of "working from home" to reality in a realistic manner for the average person.

G.P.T. Models Are Currently Found
In "Top Tier" Opportunities.

We call them "Top Tier" because of the caliber of people they attract, and the high-level incomes they can produce compared to traditional MLM.

Most, (but not all), are characterized by a "Two-Up" compensation plan, a product or service that is retailed in the $1,500-$2,000 range, and pay out a $1,000+, up-front commission on the sale of that product or service.

One of the primary objections made by networkers against Get Paid Today, Top Tier programs is that there's no residual income.

But Is That True?

Well as this business model develops, residual income has been integrated into several compensation plans already, but there's another angle that needs to be considered regardless of that...

When you make a $1,000 commission, it's like you're getting paid a year's worth of residuals up front on Day One with a product purchase, whether the new rep goes on to build a business or not.

How large of an organization would you have to build in order to make $4,000/mo in a traditional MLM?

500? 700? 1,500? 2,500?

Pick a number and then double it because 50% of your people will cancel their product orders within 3 months.

What will you do when, (not if), one of your leaders walks out for another deal and takes half your team with them overnight?

We all know darn well that only 1 in 500+ will ever go on to build a team of over 500 reps, yet we're all selling an "easy way to work part-time and replace your full-time job".

B.S.

You know it. I know it.

How many customers would you need in a Top Tier program to make $4,000/mo…?

Drum roll please………… 4.

One customer a week to make an extra $48,000 a year, and that doesn't even figure in the leverage of the actual compensation plan which can multiply that number by a factor of 10 or $480,000 per year with just 1 new customer per week. (We'll actually show you these numbers in detail in just a few minutes).

That my friends, is an honest sell when you offer to provide someone with a vehicle to replace their income.

The bottom line is that in today's MLM environment, you must make enough from your personal activity to justify your time and involvement, because you'll just continue to spend more money than you make if you don't.

That leads us to another important consideration when it comes to "residual income"...

Get Paid Today Because That Money
Is Worth More Today.

Consider this for a moment…

Let's say that you work your tail off for a year and build up an MLM business that paid you an average of $3,000 a month residually for the next 3 years. That's a total payout of $108,000 paid out over 3 years. This will never happen because you'll experience attrition and that check will shrink each month, but we'll go ahead and stick with that number anyway to keep things simple.

So $3,000/mo for 3 years... Not bad, but is that really the smartest route to go?

Or would it be better to work a business that paid out all $108,000 in the first 12 months without the "residual"?

I think so…

Why? Because that money is worth more today than it will be in 3 years.

Now you can take that $108,000 and invest it in REAL, long-term residual assets like real-estate, mutual-funds, stocks, etc…(OR private wealth creation strategies that are simply not avaiable to the general public or even financial advisors that generate real Triple-Digit ROI's!...thats what I personally market)

I'd rather have $108,000 invested into a private placement than siphon off $3,000 a month for 3 years (especially when I know that money can disappear over night if one of my leaders jumps ship).

Heck, if you want the "illusion" of residual income, take the $108,000 made in 12 months, put it into a money market account, and then instruct your bank to transfer $3,000 of it into your checking account each month.

No disappearing downline or dipping sales volume to worry about, and at least you can make some interest on it for a few years.

Get Paid Today. Why wait on $5 Mickey Mouse commissions to drip in when you have no idea how long it will last? Get a year or more of that money up front on Day One, and then do some real damage with it outside MLM. This is HUGE!!!

Which Costs More: A Top Tier Opportunity,
Or Traditional MLM?

The second common objection to Top Tier programs is the start-up costs are "too high".

Actually, they are much less expensive than a traditional supplement based MLM. The average start-up cost and monthly auto-ship order for a traditional MLM is about $200. That comes out to $2,500+ a year when you factor in taxes and shipping.

A Top Tier program is usually a one time expense. One time, and you're done.

By the time you hit your third year in traditional MLM, you've spent over $7,500 on vitamins you could have purchased for 70% less at a local store!

Holy smokes! So if you've been in MLM about seven years now, you've spent over $17,500 on products! Ouch!

Yet, your total cost for a Top Tier after seven years would have never gone passed the average $1,500 cost of the product or service.

But, we're not done yet…

There is another benefit to Top Tier programs. It's not very obvious at first, but something you will come to appreciate if you don't already…

Work With Experienced Peers And
Keep Your Business FUN!

Are you at a point in your MLM career where you just feel burnt out working with people who are brand new to the industry? The ones who "claim" they want to be financially free but as soon as you mention the start-up cost they start making excuses?

Has your downline turned into a massive pool of people who blame you for the fact that they bought a website and some product but aren't rich yet?

Or has the FUN been stripped from your work at home dreams because all you do is spend your time dealing with whiners, complainers, and excuse makers for much less money than it's worth?

Well One Perk Of A Top Tier Opportunity,
Is That It Attracts Top Tier People

Who you work with is completely up to you, so work with the highest caliber of people possible:

Peers! Professionals! Do'ers! People who make things happen, not excuses.

It makes all the difference in the world when you get to spend your time recruiting and working with people who are just like you. They love this industry, and they don't need any convincing.

They already know an investment is required and have no problem with it because they are true entrepreneurs.

Top Tier opportunities attract this type of person because the initial start-up cost scares away the time-wasting, tire-kickers faster than you can blink an eye!

Wouldn't you like to just work with experienced entrepreneurs? People who don't whine, complain, constantly make excuses, or need you to hold their hand 24/7?

Peers who speak and build with self confidence.

People who don't "need" money or want you to "save" them, but people who have a track record of success and who want a better vehicle to invest their time, money, and efforts into?

With Top Tier opportunities, you don't have to work with thousands or tens-of-thousands to make incredible money.

You only need to work with a handful.

Top Tier Opportunities Pay Out Serious
Incomes, So They Attract People Who Like
To Make Serious Money

Lets assume for a minute that you're an experienced networker now who knows what they're doing.

You know how to advertise. You have good communication and phone skills. You work diligently on your business everyday, and you're a leader to your team…

And how's it working out so far?

$50,000/mo checks showing up yet? Do you have the new Mercedes in the drive way? Are you flying First Class and sleeping 5-Star? Do you take a cab from the airport to the company convention or a helicopter?

Probably not, and it's not because you aren't capable or deserving of that kind of success. It's just that you're working a 2nd tier opportunity that pays out less money for the same amount of work, and attracts people whose goal is to earn $300 - $5,000 a month… Not $30,000 to $100,000 per month.

We all have the same number of hours in a day so why not use them in a business that pays out BIG instead of small when it doesn't require any more time or effort?

You become as successful as the people you surround yourself with, so why not work with people who truly live lives of luxury instead of people who drive around in mini-vans with "Lose Weight Now, Ask Me How" stickers on the window?

I don't know about you, but my partners and I got into this industry to earn a massive and stable income, yet we're faced with the fact that traditional MLM just isn't the opportunity it used to be.

Trust me, myself and my team of leaders and top earners have chosen this business model for a reason. We have a collective 100+ years of experience in this industry and have seen everything under the sun and this is the only business model we all embrace.

You came here to learn the secrets of the TOP EARNERS. Now you have the basic knowledge and know-how of what the top earners are doing behind the scenes to generate incomes of well over $10,000+ per month consistently.

Where can you go from here?

The Key To Self Discipline

Self discipline starts with the ability to control your behavior. That means motivating yourself to do what you need to do, and stopping yourself from doing things that are bad for you. The "ability to control" is just the start, though, and real discipline is when you have trained your mind in such way that you consistently get the behavior you want.

Discipline may appear to be a problem of willpower. However, this implies just pushing ourselves harder to do things, even when we feel miserable, or fighting temptations. It's a good recipe for stress and disappointment, but there are better ways to a disciplined life.

Self Discipline Tips

Have you ever stayed up all night talking about something interesting? Then you know what power the mind has over the body. Sleep can be put off when we are motivated by a passionate discussion,and it doesn't take much willpower to keep doing something when you are enjoying it. That gives us a key to self discipline.

Try to enjoy what you are doing and be energized. Your willpower goes up and down with your energy levels, so play energetic music, move around, laugh, and look for the interesting parts of whatever project you are working on. Once you identify your best energy boosters and motivators, make a list, and train your brain to use them whenever you need discipline.

Make things easier on yourself. If you feel stressed when you think about doing your tax return, for example, don't think about it! Just lay out the forms where you can work on them later. Later do just one form, and then another. Whatever the task at hand, you can find enough motivation for some small step. Start training your mind to take that step as soon as you think of it, and the next steps become easier.

Self Discipline And Self Awareness

What if that cake calls to you. Sometimes it's hard to resist temptation, right? Willpower is a nice idea, but here is a simpler solution: stop standing in front of the cake! It is an easy lesson to understand, so train yourself to apply it habitually. Don't keep beer in the house if you don't want to drink it. Don't go alone to the bar if you want to maintain a faithful marriage. Just stay away from people that lead you to trouble.

Discipline doesn't mean being immune to temptation. Go ahead and develop the willpower to say no, if you can, but why not also have the wisdom to avoid temptation? Know where your resistance is low, and don't put yourself in those situations. Does this make more sense than fighting useless battles with yourself?

Fighting feelings is a losing battle. It's far more effective to learn about yourself. How are you energized and motivated? Where are your strengths and weaknesses? Learn about yourself, and start using what you learn to make the behaviors you want easy. That's the key to self discipline.

Achieve Success with Positive Communication

Use these six strategies to communicate effectively.

1) You can accept anything without agreeing with it. Thus, acknowledge amazing requests and outrageous statements with responses such as:

"That's an interesting idea."

"That's a novel request."

"What an intriguing question."

Use this as an opportunity to understand what the other person is saying. And then move on to other topics without attempting to argue.

2) People judge others by their actions. This means you are being judged by the perceptions you create with your words and actions. For example, if you act angry, even though you feel otherwise, you will be judged as being hostile. If you sound helpless, even though you feel otherwise, you will be judged as being ineffective. Thus, choose actions and words that convey the impression you want to make.

3) People judge themselves by their intentions. Thus, acknowledge that the other person's actions or words are correct and proper (as seen by that other person). Even when someone's behavior appears completely absurd, that person most likely believes it is justified.

4) Everyone deserves courtesy and respect. Diplomacy gains more than hostility. It is always the best way to begin a dialogue. After all, no one has ever had to apologize for being courteous. When you treat others with respect, you set the standard for how you want to be treated.

5) Everyone has valuable ideas. Everyone is an expert in some area. Everyone has unique talents. Effective leaders helps other people excel at expressing their ideas. They ask questions. They show interest. They make the other person a star in their conversation.

6) Realize that you can always learn more about the other person's needs, priorities, and situation. Ask questions. Seek solutions. Think positive. Quick reactions often lead to apologies. Start by being thoughtful and seeking to understand fully.

No capital required (ok maybe just a few dollars) and it doesn't take much writing skills either.

It's called "Paid Blogging" or "Sponsored Blogging", and one of the earliest companies to offer this opportunity is PayPerPost.com

Today, there are tons of opportunities to make a living with paid blogging, and you can earn anywhere between $5 to $200 for a single blog post - AMAZING!
