As Perry Belcher said, “Hey, you can’t put the @#!% back in the horse.”

Talk to you soon.

Sometimes, we feel overwhelmed and that we don’t have a snowball’s chance in Hell to have success or some other desirable outcome. But the fact of the matter is, you are still here so as long as you can look up, you can get up.

Lean on your faith – believe in yourself, believe in the righteousness of your goal; believe in your allies; and have faith in a higher power.

Be inspired by these words from Laurence Fishburne in his portrayal of Morpheus in the movie The Matrix Reloaded.

Just follow these six steps, and what you desire will be your’s in uncommon hours:

1. THINK about what you want
2. SPEAK about what you want
3. Take ACTIONS toward getting it
4. Make your pursuit a HABIT – do something every day to put yourself closer
5. NEVER QUIT no matter what happens
6. Enjoy the RESULTS of your labor

Be advised, that these six steps always yield results, but make sure that you start with positive, desirable thoughts, or you may be quite displeased with the results.

Remember the old-school computer jargon – ‘GIGO’ – garbage in, garbage out.

“Don’t have stinking thinking.” ~ Zig Ziglar

See you at the top, folks…

I met Stow, Ohio-based (FYI, Stow, OH is between Akron and Cleveland) Mike Sheehan on a BlitzTime event, and he really struck me as a definite cut above most insurance agents that I’ve met. Life insurance is not the sexiest thing to talk about, but Mike is extremely passionate about what he does. If the average entrepreneur or sales professional had a ounce of the enthusiasm that Mike Sheehan does, they would go a very, very long way.

Insurance is a very competitive, crowded industry. Some would even say that life insurance is a vanilla product. However, someone like Mike Sheehan will show you what is the best solution for you so in effect, he adds hot caramel, nuts, whip cream, and cherries to your insurance!

What I like most about Mike Sheehan is that he has very successfully used high tech tools like video email, social media, his website, face-to-face, and the speed networking over the phone to grow his business.

Check out this podcast from Friday, October 16th, 2009.

Make sure to visit Mike’s website at www.YourInsurance411.com. Even though he is based in Ohio, with the power of the Internet he can help you no matter where you are in the USA.

Remember, it is better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

All the best,

On Wednesday, October 14th, 2009, I had the extreme pleasure of interviewing America’s #1 Sales Coach for Introverts (and Extroverts who don’t like to sell), Patricia Weber, and it was an eye-opening experience.

I first met Pat on a BlitzTime event a few months ago and I’ve been trying to get her to do a podcast for a good while now. Well, when you’re good you’re good and she IS good and very hard to catch.

Here are some of the things that jumped out at me during the interview:

• People do not know how to network
• Networking can be fun, it depends on the kind of group you join. For instance, Pat does a lot of networking with her exotic car pals
• Social media is NOT a replacement for face-to-face networking – especially in you’re a network marketer or a personal services provider (e.g., chiropractor, bookkeeper, etc.)
• Use LinkedIn to display your work history and to develop professional credibility; use Twitter share information; use Facebook to let people take a peek into your personal world; and use BlitzTime to “put the rubber on the road

With the tough times that our economy is going through, Pat mentioned that it is so important for people to learn how to market, sell, and how to network. She really broke-down what the difference between marketing and selling is, and how to do them both effectively.

This was probably one of the best interviews that I’ve had on the show to date, so make sure that you give it a listen. Just click on the player below to listen to the interview.

See you next time around.

Kyle Nichols is the owner of a wonderful Internet marketing and coaching company, and what they have done is combine high-quality training and coaching from some of the best online marketers along with a very lucrative money-making referral program.

A member can truly earn while she learns. What is so pleasantly surprising is how affordable the program is, yet powerful enough for members to build an immediate and substantial long-term recurring income stream.

Kyle shared some tips on how we can become web marketing whiz kids by leveraging his latest product/program, You Can’t Say No.

What is really appealing (to me, anyway) about this program is that it compliments whatever you’re already working on by giving you more ‘How To’ online marketing knowledge. The catalog of training audios, videos, and the community of other online marketers that share best practices is extremely impressive. I can’t believe that a person can have access to this program for less than $1.75 per day – unbelievable. Hey, You Can’t Say No to that (pun intended).

As Internet Marketing heavy-hitter, Perry Belcher, would say, “Hey man, the poops is out and you can’t shove it back into the horse, so get with it because Internet marketing is not going anywhere and is only going to get bigger.”

Hmmm…spoken like a true Texan.

With appreciation,

What in blue blazes am I talking about?
