The Seeds Of SUCCESS

I just spent an AMAZING weekend on a “Live Seminar” with the Master Marketer… EBEN PAGEN. His title for this program is,

“The Seeds of SUCCESS”. Certainly, here is someone who is a self-made man!

He mentioned early on in his presentation some personal details, for those who were not familiar with his story. Like… his family was poor –  that he had his first new pair of shoes only when he was a teenager. Somehow, he managed along the way to believe in himself despite the harsh lifestyle… or maybe because of it!

You Have to Believe in YOU!

I can see how he has brought himself up from very humble beginnings … really, rather impoverished would probably be more accurate… to last year selling over $29 Million of product – WORKING FROM HOME!

ALL I can say is that the program is EXCELLENT!  Be sure to add Eben Pagen’s, “The Seeds of SUCCESS” to your  Personal Development Library when it becomes available in a couple of months… it’ll be worth the wait!

Now, there is some commonality that carries over from my last post, to this one …and amongst all those that I’ve highlighted… Eben Pagen, Mark Hoverson, Jonathan Budd and Jodie Thompson. That is:

  1. – they all accept that there is a metaphysical aspect to their success
  2. – they believe they will be successful
  3. – they meditate …in one form or another

Not to take anything away from these gurus of the internet marketing world, because they are all successful.

But…there are those  who may need a Real Master of techniques that go beyond the

physical… someone who has Direct connection to the metaphysical universe…

Dr. Baskaran Pillai. His Quantum Mind Program starts Jan. 1, 2011 … it might just be Your KEY TO SUCCESS !

Blog Mastery Award

‘Blog Mastery Award’ was recently  started byBelinda Cunningham.

The concept is to choose 10 blogs that you feel have mastered blogging and have great content, then  nominate them to receive the award. The recepients then write a post about receiving the award and go on to pay it forward by nominating 10 more blogs that they feel deserve recognition for a great effort .

First I’d like to thank Toni King for nominating my blog… and suggest you  have a look at the others who made her list!

It’s always means more to me when my work is appreciated by a peer… (so thanks Toni). I’d like to suggest that you mosey on over and have a look at what Toni has posted on her site… there’s always something interesting to read and ponder!

There are so many good blogs out there… The thing that I have enjoyed the most about the blogs are the people behind them. It really is a case of wysiwyg… authentic, real people who care. They care about their readers, but what comes through in their blogs is they also care about people they haven’t even met yet… they care about You, Me and our little blue planet.

I read so many varied and interesting blogs in the course of a normal week, it’s hard to name only 10 for recognition because most of them deserve it but I’ll endeavour to narrow it down… in no particular order because they are ALL so good!

What’s Working Now

I REALLY love what I’m doing. For my part, this is a life-long adventure along the path of personal development. An expedition into the unknown. That’s one of the joys I find in life. The fullness of experience… the richness and vibrancy it adds to every part of my life.

Great OPPORTUNITY lies before us ALL… there is no shortage, no lack… in this abundant universe! True, it does require some EFFORT… but it is attainable. We find many examples of others who themselves have achieved “it”. If we dare to push ourselves beyond our comfort zone… out past the edge of what we know we’re good at,we may find “it”.

The elusive “prize” is different for everyone, as are the paths we take to get there. One of the discoveries that I made along my journey is that I get great satisfaction from teaching and training others to master new skills. As they experience their own personal growth, so do I!

In order to be of any assistance though, I also know that I need to be a life-long learner. We need to keep abreast of the ever-changing environment… new discoveries, new ways of doing things… new ways of being.

So for my own personal growth it means being committed to a daily practice… one of continually enriching my understanding of those areas that I’m working in. It’s a never-ending process of education that I thoroughly enjoy.

Well, I’m learning something new everyday… and if I was happy with that I’d be o.k.. But there is so much information blasting out at us… 24/7 and ALL of it seems to be important! It can get to the point of information overload! There are so many new product offerings and releases EVERY  month… it’s just about impossible to get a handle on them!

I thought for awhile that I might be the only one who felt that they were choking on all this information. After reading a few blogs, I saw that  I was not alone. The consensus of the majority was that we feel that we need all this information to be current in the marketplace.

In our effort to find the Holy Grail, we sometimes overlook What’s Working Now . Instead, we wade through the avalanche of information and eventually come to a point that approaches overwhelm. What does one do? More than a few have succumbed to the information overload and given up.

Mike Dillard has developed the program which I have just linked above for you (my affiliate link) that addresses the issue of overwhelm and information overload. It was released Mar.29, 2010 and by all accounts there was a stampede for it… taking out his servers for over 2 hours.

There are all kinds of heavy-hitters promoting it, with all kinds of bonuses being offered. You just need to surf around to scope the different offers available. I don’t kid myself about being competitive with any of them, but I will say it gets the juices flowing to be part of the same launch.

I’m urging readers of this blog to check out Dillard’s product if you haven’t already. It will help you to move forward with your online presence and get a handle on the overworked, overloaded battery of information you’re trying to digest… if that’s what is impeding you.

Check out What’s Working Now … it doesn’t really matter if you buy through me. It’s of more of my concern that you find that peace of mind which I believe this program can help you benefit from! If that’s with a big-name marketer with lots of bonuses… that’s cool… just get it! You’ll be a step closer to what’s working now for YOU!

Tribes – The Future is Here, Now!

Seth Godin on the tribes we lead

(Excerpted from TED2009, Filmed Feb 2009, Posted May 2009)

If by chance, you have NOT heard of SETH GODIN, or the idea of “TRIBES”…he is an entrepreneur and blogger who thinks about the marketing of ideas in the digital age.

Seth Godin argues the Internet has ended mass marketing. A human social unit from the distant past has been revived: TRIBES. He tells us that  these tribes have their commonality based on shared ideas and values. Mr. Godin goes on to make the point that TRIBES give ordinary people the power to lead and make big change.

 

Who Wants To Make A Difference?

WHAT IS A TRIBE?

“What ‘Tribes’ are… is a very simple concept that goes back 50,000 years. It’s about leading and connecting people and ideas… and it’s something that people have wanted forever.

 

“Lots of people are used to having a spiritual tribe, or a church tribe, having a work tribe… having a community tribe. But now, thanks to the internet, thanks to the explosion of mass media… thanks to a lot of other things that are bubbling through our society around the world… Tribes are everywhere!

 

“The Internet was supposed to homogenize everyone by connecting us. Instead, what it’s allowed is silos of interest. You’ve got the ‘Red Hat Ladies’ over here… and the ‘Red Hat Tri-athletes’ over here…

 

“The point is that you can find Ukranian Folk Dancers and connect with them… because you want to be connected. People on the ‘fringes’ can find each other…  connect…  and go somewhere.

 

“…and it turns out that it’s ‘tribes’, not money, not factories… that can change our world, that can change politics, that can align large numbers of people… NOT ‘cause you forced them to do something against their will, but because they wanted to connect.”

LEADERSHIP

When these disconnected people become connected with a common theme, through someone “stepping up” to offer leadership, a “movement” is formed that has greater strength and influence than the sum of its parts.

Most movements are about finding a group that is disconnected, but already has a yearning. It’s not about persuading people to want something that they don’t have yet.

It’s not about inventing an issue. It’s people seeing the status quo and saying… “I DON’T LIKE IT”. It’s not about anarchy. It’s about LEADERSHIP !

There are some rules, some issues that are in place that really don’t make sense to people. Tribes are about organizing those un-connected individuals who feel the same way… and saying “this one counts”. It’s empowering groups of people to make change.

Again, this is NOT about anarchy… it’s NOT about overthrowing governments… it’s NOT about non-peaceful movements.  This is about connecting people who have similar views and ideas.

THE POWER OF “MANY”

The power of the tribe lies in the synthesis of these disconnected people coming together and becoming a “Tribe.” Their ability to move their ideas forward is then multiplied exponentially… Far beyond any single leader’s personal efforts.

It’s not just one leader, either. It’s many leaders combining the efforts of their sub tribes… multiplying the efforts of the movement.

CHALLENGE THE STATUS QUO

CONNECT

COMMIT

CHANGE

Think about it. What are you passionate about? Reach out through social media and see if there is anyone else that shares your passion. Start a tribe. Challenge the status quo. Put your personal desires and energy behind it… commit. Change the status quo…whatever that may be!

(I’d like to thank Arlan Murata http://arlanmurata.com for recommending this and several other TED… for his friendship, for always giving OUR TRIBE something to think about, for his keen insights into life and his joie de vivre !)
