No work here, but plenty in other places. I am deep into trying to understand if internet marketing is a doable thing.
I sure hope so as I have invested my efforts heavily into it.
What I am seem to be finding it that there are clear similarities between IM and NWM. Both are great business models that ahave attracted a ton of people who say they are experts and want to help you become incredibly wealthy from the goodness of their hearts. Just buy something from them and they will help you!
Something about that stinks!
On the other hand it is heavy going on your own, but you will at least know your stuff!
Back to it.

You can take really big steps!
Whatever it is you want to get done, just start. I tend to think too much about what I want accomplished. Sometimes I am even paralyzed by inaction becasue of overwhelm, or not knowing where to begin especially on big projects.
For instance right now as I work though the internet marketing ideas and learning curve I could be doing much more. But I keep learning and waiting for – what? Someone to help me? Do it for me? Sure!
Don’t wait. Jump into it with both feet and all your passion. The Universe will see that passion and dedication and provide help in ways you won’t believe.
Three years ago we bought ten acres of land with the dream of a horse farm. Today there are 14 horses in a large barn with a conference room and apartment over it for additional revenue. We are becoming known locally as ‘the place’ for lessons, camps and motivational seminars.
Why is this? Because we jumped in with passion and excitement and were rewarded for our efforts.
What is it that you want?

Are you afraid of death? I guess a lot of people are. There are lot of things people are afraid of – poverty, criticism, illness etc – but death ranks up there pretty high.
Here is the cure. Die a lot.
If you think about it, we die every second. The past is dead isn’t it? (Well it should be anyway!) The cool thing is each of us has the ability to create our lives all the time so dying should be a great opportunity to let go the past and create something new. A better, different, exciting future!
You see, if you did not know it you and I have that power. It is a power given only to us humans. We can create whatever we want. Not only that but we have been given the tools to understand and apply in a step by step method.
They are all around us!
So my suggestion is celebrate death every possible second while realizing we can never really die, it is just that we are letting go all the stuff we don’t need any more to make room for the new!
I’m excited!

This is an interesting story I hope you can appreciate as much as I do!
A young man of 28 came to me a few weeks ago for coaching as he has been laid off. Actually he had been terminated for reasons that were explained to him had something to do with lack of job performance.
He was understandably upset, and a bit lost. You see, he had worked for this one person/company for the last ten years, since he was eighteen, only taking time off to attend college for a bachelors degree in the trade in which he worked.
The dismissal was a complete surprise and shock to say the least. There had been no prior warnings and he had believed he was contributing to the overall health and benefit of the company.
Just to enable you to see the whole picture, he had just bought a house, was paying for a truck and his savings were -well can we say they were not!
Are you with me?
He wanted help figuring out what to do. He had never looked for a job and had no clue where to start.
I am almost to the point! Stay with me!
The first question I asked him was: What do you want to do?
The first assignment I gave him was to go to http://www.ncsu.edu/careerkey/you/ and take the free evaluation.
Next I asked that he find answers to the following statements.
Choose your ideal work environment-large corporation, small business, government agency or nonprofit organization.
Choose your ideal location-urban, suburban or rural.
List your three most useful job skills and know which is your strongest.
Know whether you want to work with people, data or things.
Know if you want to work with others or work alone.
Know whether you enjoy new projects or prefer following a regular routine.
List some of the main career areas which might interest you.
List your favorite leisure time activities.
Know what kind of reward is most important to you in a job-money, security, creative authority, etc
It turns out that this young man, who has a BS in Construction Management , and who has spent the last ten years of his life working in that profession has realized that he would love to be the photographer for the San Diego Chargers!
He is very clear about his wants. He can (and has) explained why he wants this, how he is going to get it and how long it will take him. He is excited and can not wait to get out of bed in the morning.
He is addressing his financial concerns to trim expenses and enable pursuit of his goal.
When asked why he never did it before, he said – I did not know I could!
And finally we come to my point. Are you doing what you want to do?
Life was not meant for us to work to get by. Nor to work just to put bread on the table. Life was meant to do the things that excite you, things that make you spring out of bed in the morning, things that make the days fly by. When you are doing this, everything else will work out.
I ask that you too, find the answers to the above questions. Take the free survey.
Hoping you jump out of bed in the morning!
