If you really want to make a quantum leap in your business, thinking, and income this year I can't think of three more important books to read.
The Success Principles is just tremendous at helping you to get focused and put together your plan to achieve your goals this year.
The
Secrets of the Millionaire Mind is an important book to get your mind ready to accept wealth and understand what your beliefs are about money so that you can acheive greater wealth, keep it, and avoid self sabotaging beliefs that you may have. I know multi-millionaires who can't say enough about what they've learned about themselves from reading this.
Beyond Positive Thinking is so important to put you in the proper mental state to attract prosperity.
Positive Attitude is key
"Are you a 'growing up' or are you a 'given up'?"
If being dead was merely a state of "not living" of giving up on life, then there are many people walking around who really should be buried. People who merely exist from day to day adrift on the sea of life like a boat without a rudder, buffeted by circumstance, controlled by situation.
In this life you are either "growing up" or you are "going down" there is no middle ground. All to often we tend to lose faith in the future and our ability to grow beyond our current situation. The risk here is that instead of working to create the future that we want, we resign ourselves to accept whatever comes.
The key difference between "growing ups" and "given ups" is the way that they talk and act.
A "growing up" has a clear vision of the future and a well defined purpose for living. A "given up" will take whatever comes "I mean what's the use it's beyond my control" and merely exists day to day with no sense of purpose other than to make it through to the weekend.
A "growing up" says, I am able, I will try, I can do it, I want to do it, it may be difficult but it is possible. A "given up" says, at my age it's too late, I can't manage, I can't be bothered, I must do it but I really don't want to, it may be possible but it is too difficult.
"Growing ups" know what they want and strive to get it. "Given ups" know what they don't want, and complain about having it.
A "growing up" identifies the resources that he/she has and then uses them to maximum effect. A "given up" focuses on opportunities lost, I should've, if only, and fails to see opportunities present.
A "growing up" is led by imagination. A "given up" is controlled by memory.
"Growing ups" realise that they cannot change the past, but that they can affect the future. "Given ups" complain about the past and resign themselves to the future.
"Growing ups" use their intelligence to identify their usefulness. "Given ups" use their intelligence to justify their uselessness.
The purpose of life is to live it, to become all that you are capable of becoming, to constantly grow and develop. The future is given to us as an endless set of possibilities, it is in our power to determine the future that we want and then to work to achieve that future. Choose to be a "growing up". Choose to make the most of your life. But this question you must face "Are you a 'growing up' or are you a 'given up'?"
Live with passion.
Have as much fun as you can.
Participate wherever/whenever you can.
Learn as much as you can about as much as you can.
Choose to change and grow to be the best you, that you can be.
S CCESS or FAIL RE U decide!

This is your daily affirmation, the more often you use it the more it will influence your life.

ADD - Attitude Determines Destiny
I am filled with health and energy. I feel great physically and emotionally. I believe that this will be a wonderful day and I expect wonderful and exciting things to happen to me. I like who I am and I am glad to be me. It is wonderful to be alive and I have decided to be the best me that I can be and to enjoy the gift of today.
By controlling my attitude I will ensure that every person I meet today will be uplifted, inspired and happier for the meeting. I will be enthusiastic and courageous, confident and decisive in doing the things that are necessary for my success today. And I deserve success because I am a wonderful person and I love and respect myself.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-Is Your Email Address "Blacklisted?"- by Jim Edwards© Jim Edwards - All Rights reserved
http://www.thenetreporter.com/-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
A lady emailed me yesterday very upset over the fact that her friend's Internet Service Provider (ISP) wasn't delivering important email messages (or any of her messages for that matter). It seems her friend's ISP was filtering her emails, but there didn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to why some messages got through and others didn't.
This lack of delivery caused a real problem for the two of them with ruined plans, missed appointments, and just plain inconvenience. If you don't use email much, this might not sound like a "big deal," but for others it's having a profoundly negative impact on their lives.
This problem of non-delivery has dramatically affected the way businesses use email for about the last year, but it's now about to reach epidemic proportions for consumers using email.
To put things into perspective, imagine if every time you dialed a friend's phone number you had no idea whether it would ring or not. Sometimes you got through, other times you couldn't... with seemingly no reason for it happening either way.
Now imagine the hair-pulling frustration you'd feel over time if your friend's phone number hadn't changed, but you kept dialing the number and it never EVER rang for you... but others could get through with seemingly no problem. :-\That's exactly how you'll feel when your personal emails start getting blocked for no apparent reason.
The problem of legitimate email messages not getting through stems from the uncontrolled and unstoppable onslaught of spam that currently grips the Internet with seemingly no end in sight.
The fact that viruses can now "spoof" email addresses and make it look like someone sent a virus to thousands of people doesn't help matters either.
In an effort to cut down on spam, ISP's implemented a number of counter-measures, including: text filters, spam databases, sender blacklists, and IP blocking.
If your email message doesn't get delivered, most of the time it means you inadvertently got caught in an ISP's "defense system."
If you ever find your email messages don't get through, or if you'd like to head off problems before they occur, the following tips should help:
<-- SideBar -->
If you're a business owner, ezine publisher, or newsletter operator and you're frustrated with your email messages getting blocked, my friend, Jimmy D. Brown, had just written an ebook about how to get more of your email messages through.
I thought I knew most everything there was to know on the subject, but Jimmy gave me some jewels I'd never thought of. In fact, I plan to implement them within the next few weeks.
If you want to get more of your messages through so you can sell more... increase readership... and just plain lower the "frustration factor" of worrying over whether or not your email is even getting delivered at all, check out Jimmy's ebook right now...

http://getyouremailread.ebookfire.com/<-- End SideBar... Continue Article :-) -->
The first and best tip is to encourage all your email contacts to "whitelist" your email address in their email program.
Just like you can say which email addresses you don't want to get messages from, you can also specify a list of email addresses you always DO WANT to accept.
In Yahoo or Hotmail you can set up your filters to acceptemail messages from a certain source, regardless of the subject line or content of the message. Your friends and subscribers can do the exact same thing with your email address by adding you to their "whitelist" so you don't miss each other's emails.
It takes a little patience to set up, but it pays big dividends by not losing important messages.
If you use Eudora, Outlook, Outlook Express, MailWasher, or just about any other email "client" program, you can set up rules to always accept messages from certain senders (just check the help file).
If you send messages to people who use AOL, try this technique. Get them to add you to their address book "safelist" or "approved senders."
This helps AOL identify that the message recipient "knows" you and has a higher likelihood of actually wanting to receive your message.
Email AOL tech support for help on this if you encounter a problem.
If filtering and "white" listing don't work and your email messages are still getting blocked, then your friend needs to contact their ISP to sort out the problem. Their ISP can certainly figure out why messages don't get through, but it may take some concerted encouragement to get the ISP's customer service to take the time to investigate the cause. (In other words, they may have to do some serious complaining to get the ISP to get up off their butts and do anything about the problem, but you must encourage them to do it!)

One of the best ways to get started in an online business is to develop your own newsletter. Find a topic that is right for you. I'd suggest something that you feel passionate about and that you have some expertise in. Just look for an area where there is a tremendous need. A great tool for evaluation of the need for a particular product is google or overture.com, where you can search on various keywords for how many searches are done monthly on that particular topic.
For instance, my wife, Andrea, is a Physical Therapist so when she began her newsletter we wrote about things that helped us personally like nutritional supplements, accupuncture, herbal medicine and hypnotherapy programs. These were all things that we personally benefited from. Health and Nutrition is a very hot topic today and that industry is a multi-billion dollar one.
When I got involved in the protege' program with Robert Allen, I already new a fair amount about business and running a business from home, but in reading his books I realized that I couldn't depend on any one income stream. I was totally caught up in his 2 books, Multiple Streams of Income and The One Minute Millionaire.
We set a goal to develop one new stream of income every year, and actually we have done 2 per year. We improved our current businesses, devoloped our newsletters which now go out to over 20,000 subscribers and began a network marketing business with a great team of people that we met while involved in the protege' program. In addition, a group of approximately 20 of us with an interest in politics went on to form an internet political radio station at
http://www.goodpoliticsradio.com/. We aren't personally involved with it anymore but if you ever had an interest in starting your own radio station I'd highly recommend
www.live365.com as the place to start. Good Politics Radio certainly fills the need to get out the social and political issues that surround us. It was a fantastic project and in the true spirit of TEAM, we quickly realized how in working together everyone achieves more, much more!! :-)
Two of our favorite autoresponder systems are:
Cyberwealth Automation (to sell a product and Newsletter)
Get Response for a newsletter alone
Another great service we discovered for growing your newsletter with new subscribers quickly is
Opt in Storm, where you can advertise your ezine to a particular category of subscribers and allow them an opportunity to sign up for your newsletter. Also, find and sign up for a few newsletters and see how they are organized and put together. You can find newsletters at
http://www.google.com/ by looking for a subject or under a topic like dog training newsletter.
Just as a reminder, the whole idea behind developing a newsletter is in the list itself. A list of 10,000 subscriber is the start of a 6 figure online income.
We have a very special treat planned for our readers. Over the years, Daren Falter has offered to do a free 4 week web conference course on internet marketing, just for subscribers to Powerbiz News with absolutely no cost to you. I expect that we will be covering these topics. Affiliate Marketing, How to build a list of 10,000 in 10 months, Website Automation, and Search Engine Tactics. I'm in the final process of lining up everything with Daren, and the only thing delaying our conference is some finishing touches to our conference room software. If you would like to download our hot conference software,
here is the link Here's some info about Daren:
Daren C Falter is the Founder and CEO of DC Falter Marketing, Inc. and owner and webmaster of several high traffic websites (
http://www.dcfalter.com%20/ http://www.networkmarketingreview.com/ and
http://www.partyplanporta.com/ ). Daren is an internet marketing coach specializing in developing and teaching marketing strategies for online affiliate programs, and network marketing/direct sales distributorships. These strategies can also be successfully applied to any small business for home-based business.
Daren works with
Robert Allen teaching Robert's Proteges how to market on the internet. Daren wrote a chapter of Robert's best selling book,
Multiple Streams of Income and provided content for Multiple Streams of Internet Income. Daren also consulted the MSI team on Robert's famous internet challenge and infomercial entitled, "$24,000 in 24 hours" where Robert Allen generated over $93,000 in less than 24 hours using these internet marketing ideas.
At this stage, I'm really trying to get an idea of how many people want to do this. If you are interested in attending our 4 week teleclass, please email me at
john@powerbusinessbuilders.com with "Internet Teleclass" in the subject line. My best guess is that we will finalize something in mid-May.
