Humor???  Did they really say that.....

"If somebody has a bad heart, they can plug this jack in at night as they go to bed and it will monitor their heart throughout the night.  And the next morning, when they wake up dead, there'll be a record."
-- Mark S. Fowler, FCC Chairman

"I'm not going to have some reporters pawing through our papers. We are the president," 
-- Hillary Clinton commenting on the release of subpoenaed documents.

"Whenever I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can't help but cry.  I mean I'd love to be skinny like that, but not with all those flies and death and stuff,"
 -- Mariah Carey

Commentary

Where Have I Been?  You may have been wondering what happened to me and the publication of Smart Business over the winter.  I wish I had a really good excuse - like I decided to a take a few months off to write the novel I always wanted to write but never did or I got lost while snowshoeing across Antarctica and was just rescued.  Unfortunately, neither one is true - although the first one comes close.

What I've been doing with all my spare time is developing, writing, and programming a new Internet Security product.  Its in the beta testing stage right now and I expect it will be ready to launch in a few weeks at the Big Seminar in Orlando.


The Big Seminar is What's Hot

You've probably already seen a lots of promo on the Armin Morins Big Seminar that's coming up in March.  I'm not going to repeat it.  What I will tell you is how important the last seminar I attended has been in helping me develop my new security product. 

Last fall, I attended the Internet Super Conference in Vegas.   I went with a product idea and marketing plan in mind.  During the course of the conference I had the opportunity to meet with several of the speakers and discuss my project.  Not only did I receive a ton of helpful advice but I came away with several offers to joint venture the marketing of my new product.  That's exactly what's going to happen in a few weeks when several of the Internets top marketers help me launch my new product.

There's absolutely no way I could put a value on the advice, business connections and knowledge I got from that one conference.   I could have dinked around with  Internet Marketing for years and not made the connections I made in 3 days in Vegas.  Sure it cost money to attend but it'll be paying me back for years to come.

I've already registered for the Big Seminar.  I expect it will spring board my Internet business to the next level. 

Its a new year.  I encourage you to step up to the plate and take a swing at your future.   I hope to see you in Orlando.  Please introduce yourself and lets do some business!

Here's My TOP Affiliate Programs Plus a Free Ebook

Promoting affiliate programs is one of the top ways of making quick money on the Internet because your only function is drive traffic to the affiliate site.  Your master affiliate takes care of the rest of the details.  Download this free course to learn more.

Here's my list of the top programs that are currently working well for me.  I choose programs that are generating the most buzz on the web because they're easier to promote.  I also try to promote products that I use somewhere in my Internet business.  That way I can write and talk about my personal experience with the product.   

Most of the programs I choose use a two tier approach which means you can earn bonus income from sub affiliates.  How to signup:  First click the links, review the programs offered, and determine if they fit your interests, web site focus, or email list.  Don't join a program that doesn't fit your situation or that you're unwilling to spend some promo time on.  OK, Here's my top affiliate programs.

The Secret to Success in 2004 by Jim Rohn

Do you want to achieve your most important goals in 2004?

In my opinion it gets down to two simple words, "easy" and "neglect". People often ask me how I became successful at the early age of 31, while many of the people I knew did not. The answer is simple: During that 6-year period of time (age 25 to 31), the things I found to be easy to do, they found to be easy not to do. I found it easy to set the goals that could change my life. They found it easy not to. I found it easy to read the books that could affect my thinking and my ideas. They found that easy not to. I found it easy to attend the classes and the seminars, and to get around other successful people. They said it probably really wouldn't matter.

If I had to sum it up, I would say what I found to be easy to do, they found to be easy not to do. Six years later, I'm a millionaire and they are all still blaming the economy, the government, and company policies, yet they neglected to do the basic, easy things.

In fact, the primary reason most people are not doing as well as they could and should, can be summed up in a single word: neglect.

It is not the lack of money - banks are full of money. It is not the lack of opportunity - America, and much of the free World, continues to offer the most unprecedented and abundant opportunities in the last six thousand years of recorded history. It is not the lack of books - libraries are full of books - and they are free! It is not the schools - the classrooms are full of good teachers. We have plenty of ministers, leaders, counselors and advisors.

Everything we would ever need to become rich and powerful and sophisticated is within our reach. The major reason that so few take advantage of all that we have is simply neglect.

Neglect is like an infection. Left unchecked it will spread throughout our entire system of disciplines and eventually lead to a complete breakdown of a potentially joy-filled and prosperous human life.

Not doing the things we know we should do causes us to feel guilty and guilt leads to an erosion of self-confidence. As our self-confidence diminishes, so does the level of our activity. And as our activity diminishes, our results inevitably decline. And as our results suffer, our attitude begins to weaken. And as our attitude begins the slow shift from positive to negative, our self-confidence diminishes even more... and on and on it goes.

So my suggestion is that when given the choice of "easy to" and "easy not to" that you do not neglect to do the simple, basic, "easy"; but potentially life-changing activities and disciplines.

To Your Success,
Jim Rohn
