A New Opportunity Is Upon Us Again
It’s that time of year again already. On this eve before a New Year begins I would like to wish everyone a Healthy, Happy, and Prosperous New Year.
This is the time of year that we reflect on the old and plan for the new. Remember not to be too hard on yourself as you recall the mistakes of this past year, after all, you are only human. Hopefully you learned from your mistakes and will apply that knowledge while you are making plans for the New Year ahead.
Keep in mind while making your resolutions for the coming year to not set yourself up for a fail. If you set your goals unrealistically high you will only be let down when you do not achieve the goal. It’s best to make small achievable goals, and then when they are met you will gain self-confidence which in turn will make larger goal success more likely.
I would like to introduce you to an incredible, completely, 100% FREE resource for entrepreneur’s. I was skeptical myself until I tried it out. I guarantee you will find it an asset in your tool box.

How to Have a Great New Year
If you want to have a great new year, you will have to make some changes. First of all, if you were happy with your current situation you would not be reading this, you wouldn’t have followed the link that led you here. Something inside yourself is looking for more.
That something is who you really are. You need to discover who you really are, what it is that you truly want. Once you discover that, then you must make the changes necessary to achieve what you really want.
Sounds simple right? It is, the solution is simple, the implementation is the hardest thing you’ll ever attempt. Have you ever tried to quit a bad habit, loose weight, etc., this is the arena in which making changes in yourself takes place.
Following are some steps to help you achieve change in your life.
- Take control of the input into your mind, the old adage garbage in, garbage out, stands true. If you have a steady input of negative influences, you guessed it, you’ll have a negative attitude. Controlling influences includes media, i.e., news, movies, music, etc., it also includes people in your life, family, friends, acquaintances. Eliminate the negative or at the least, limit your exposure to it.
- Get out of your comfort zone, this is just another word for rut. Do something every day that you dislike or don’t want to do. Creating good habits is just as easy as creating bad ones. Change your diet, instead of drinking six cups of coffee or soda every day, drink clean, pure water instead. Instead of eating unhealthy foods, eat something that’s good for you. Good health has a snowball affect to it, the better you feel, the more of it you’ll want.
- Surround yourself with positive influences. Did you know that you will become the average of the five people you spend the most time with, think about that. There are positive influences all around, in abundance, you just have to let them into your life.
Either you really want to change, or you just want to dream about it. The first step towards achieving any goal is the first one.

Merry Christmas to All and to All a Happy New Year
Information Junkie or Action Slacker
Information, it’s everywhere you turn. I guess it’s to be expected in the information age.
By my definition an information junkie is someone who gets a high from new knowledge. In and of itself learning new things is a natural desire most of us humans have. It’s when that new knowledge gets shoved into a corner of your mind until it fades away, without ever having been put to use, that you become an information junkie.
You’ve just acquired new information for the high, and have become what I call an action slacker. Again by my definition, an action slacker is someone who does not put the new information they sought, to use. By not putting it to use, and allowing it to fade away, you’ve wasted your time.
There is not much hope of curing an information junkie, however there is a cure for action slackers, put your new information into use, act on it. You will never reach your marketing goals by just acquiring new information and never putting it into action.
How many programs, courses, books, videos, etc. have you spent your resources i.e., time and money, on, just to end up on a shelf or the corner of your mind. If you fail to put that new information into action, it’s just been a total waste.
Now if you have an abundance of time and money to waste, then, aren’t you the fortunate one. I would venture to say, the majority of us are not in that position though.
So, think about it, are you an information junkie or action slacker, do you want to kick the habit?

Make Easy Money Online | Not
If you’re new to online marketing, been at it for awhile, or just looking for information about it, then I’m sure you’ve seen what I call the “figure hype.” You know, you’ve seen the adds, Earn 7 Figures in 90 Days kind of stuff. You do realize to reach 7 figures you have to be making 1 million dollars.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not calling these guys liars, or scam artist’s (although there are plenty of those) but they always leave an important part out of the headline, If You Work Your Ass Off.
Sure it happens, but for 99% it doesn’t, at least not in 90 days, it takes years, for most of the big money makers online to reach that point.
What is it that OWS is complaining about, the 1%, people who have great wealth. You’ve got to remember not everyone with wealth made it dishonestly, inherited it, or stole it from someone else, contrary to what they would like you to believe.
Most of them earned it through plain old hard work, and they don’t deserve to be chastised for it. So I just want you to remember the next time you see an add like the above, think for a minute, it isn’t going to come easy.

Have You Found Your Best Creative State
Your best creative state, by my definition, is the state of mind you are in when inspiration comes to write about something. If the acronym hasn’t been created yet, consider this the birthplace; BCS, henceforth known as best creative state.
When you sit down to write, for example, a post for your blog, where does your inspiration come from? Do you wake up in the morning with an idea in mind, does it come to you in the middle of the day, are you doing something else when it comes to mind?
Do you intentionally think of something to write about? Are you in a peaceful moment, meditating, are you listening to something inspirational, watching a video, or reading when the topic comes to you. Have you paid attention to what it is that is going on when you get your best idea?
It’s important to be aware of what it is that produces your best creative state, if you know that, then it can be duplicated.
My inspiration comes from listening to music. The music I listen to can change the mood I’m in., and my mood can make the difference between something really good and something bad or mediocre.
At this exact moment I’m listening to music from The Secret website, I find it very uplifting and seems to put me at peace with the universe. It’s something I want to share with you, if you are not already aware of it.
Have you become aware of what it is that inspires your best creative state?

What is a Squeeze Page Anyway
As the title of this article asks, what is a squeeze page anyway? Basically, a squeeze page can be thought of as bait. You want someone to take the bait and sign up for something, a newsletter in most cases. This is how your mailing list is built.
This blog is a squeeze page of sorts. If you look in the upper right side of the page you will see an area to subscribe to this blog. Almost any page you go to will have some type of form for subscribing to that pages niche.
So it behooves you to put some effort into designing your squeeze page. What do you see when you land on a page? Usually something FREE being offered, a news letter, chapters from a book, videos, webinar tickets, samples, etc., usually just enough to get you interested, and entice you to want more. That is the purpose of a squeeze page, to build your list.
If you are going to offer something free, be sure it has some real value, if you don’t deliver on the promise you’ll turn your prospect sour, on you. You can get really creative when designing your squeeze page, two of the most effective emotions you will see used a lot are fear and urgency.
There are hundreds of words and phrases that evoke emotions, such as “Best Kept Secret,” “Shocking,” “FREE,” “Special Offer,” “Urgent,” you get the picture.

Proofreading Your Writing | A Must
Something I find appalling, and I’m seeing more and more of is, grammatical errors in print. It’s a simple problem to correct by proofreading your work.
You see them everywhere, not just the little bloggers from the other side of the world, or wannabe journalist’s, but the professionals also.
Sure everyone is trying to save a buck by using grammar and spell checkers instead of a real person proofreading the work. The reliance on these tools is becoming apparent in almost everything in print today.
I’ve seen the danger in this by proofreading my own work, sure it takes longer, but it produces a better result in the end.
Today with the popularity of texting, the language is taking a beating, I even hear young people using texting terms in a real conservation. At this rate the language can be lost in a generation.
So do your readers a favor, proofread your work, does it sound right when you read it, regardless of what your grammar checker says?

Lucrative Business | Moral Dilemma
As you travel the path to financial success, through internet marketing, you will undoubtedly come to a point where you encounter a moral dilemma.
All of the internet marketing guru’s today are teaching attraction marketing as the way to your goals. This preferred method in and of itself sounds great once you understand the principal, and don’t get me wrong, I’m not making a judgment, but an observation.
Basically what you are required to do, to be successful with attraction marketing, is to give freely (a limited amount) of your advice (information product) to those seeking help or solutions to the problem in your particular niche.
You are providing solutions to those with needs. The moral dilemma will not be apparent in every niche, but in certain types it will, for example, teaching those looking for employment in a new field, because they have lost their source of income, for any one of numerous reasons.
As these would be the ones who would benefit most from your product, they are the least able to pay for it. That is the dilemma. If you are just starting your online business you obviously cannot give your product away, if you are successfully producing an income, then you have more options available to you, even then, the dilemma will still haunt you, if you are serious about attraction marketing.
Do you see a dilemma in your niche?
