After over 12 years online and working with thousands of members I’m often asked “what does it really take to succeed online?” While you might expect me to say “become a member of the Directory of Ezines” or “buy my Follow Up Selling Systems course” I’m not going to do that. The reason I’m not going [...]
Don’t Let The Turkeys Get You Down
Have you ever heard the story of the baby eagle that fell from it’s nest only to land in a family of turkeys? He grew up thinking he was a turkey. He ate with the turkeys. He slept with the turkeys. He even acted like a turkey. But he knew in his heart that he [...]
A Time For Thanks
It seems we can’t read or listen to the news without seeing or hearing talk of war, political scandals, natural disasters, and an economy on the brink. Few speak of the blessings they enjoy. Some voices are asking — is THIS a time to be thankful? I believe the answer is a resounding “YES”! Here [...]
Three steps to happiness
How often do you look at your success story? If you are like most people, it’s not often enough! We all have a success story you know. Even if you have been cheated, abused, ripped off and worse, you have success stories to tell. The key is to not let your low points overwhelm your high [...]
Tame the Email Monster
Remember the first time you sent an email? At first email was fun, new, exciting. “I’ll EMAIL it to you”, we said to one another, wanting to be efficient and up to the moment. We understood technology. We got it. We had email. It was fast, free and let us stay in touch with friends [...]
Get Your Focus Back!
As of this writing I’ve been honored to speak one-on-one with over 2400 Directory of Ezines Lifetime members. I’ve been taking these calls for 2 1/2 years and it’s been fun to help real people achieve their goals. During these calls members have been free to ask me any question and they have asked many [...]
YOU are not the problem!
Have you ever found yourself discouraged about making money online? Wondering if maybe – just maybe – this Internet thing can work for others but it won’t work for you? If you have felt that way before the good news is that you are not alone. Far too many today have wasted far too much [...]
Today Is Your Day!
Every day I hear from people who are struggling to make money online. They bought the programs and listened to the advice but are still coming up short. These are good people, real people, who have been beaten down by the hyped-up websites that promise them near-instant riches if they will only “join now”. They [...]
A Time To Be Thankful
People are funny creatures. We can be greedy and impatient one day, kind and considerate the next. And always we are unendingly complicated. Take being thankful for example. Many cultures dedicate a day to thankfulness. In America we have an actual holiday dedicated just to expressing thankfulness. That’s good I suppose (one day is better [...]
Avoiding Distractions While Working at Home
If you’ve worked from home for more than a few days, you may have discovered it can be a little (OK, a LOT) distracting. These distractions can have a negative impact on your business’s bottom line. One problem that home workers face is that the rules are simply different when you work from home. Often [...]
Staying Current without Losing Your Mind
We all deal with information overload. The sources of information, much of it necessary to our jobs, seem endless. Magazines, journals, memos, email, web sites and more, combined with endless meetings, provide us with more data than any person can handle. To cope, we must possess skills that allow us to process huge amounts of [...]
Unleash Your Creativity
We live in a hectic time.
Ours is an instant gratification society. We want it now. Yet, as we reflect on the best things in our lives, we often find the truly important things (like relationships, love and peace) took time to develop.
The ‘always on’ nature of the tools we use in business can all too easily trap us into believing that we can function as machines too.
But we’re not machines, we’re human beings.
Never Surrender Your Dream
Do you have a dream today? Can you see yourself in one year, three years, ten years?
Far from some pie-in-the-sky hype, dreams are the currency of the Internet.
Many reading these words right now dream of quitting their job and working at home. Some dream of having a home of their own. Some don’t dream any more.
My friend, your dream is your roadmap. Without it how will you know where you are going?
