"The Twitter Report" - Summary, Review, & How To Get Your Free Copy...

I just finished reading a new report by Walter M. Prorok Jr. and Chris Vendilli. Inside this report Walt & Chris talk about the in's & out's of configuring your Twitter account along with some free third party services to maximize your traffic & exposure.

I was skeptical at first, but after reading through the whole report and watching a couple of the videos available at their website I must say, I'm beyond impressed.

These two guys have been silently attracting visitor after visitor to their sites using Twitter, and they've created a step by step guide so that anyone can replicate their ideas & systems.

Yes, that's right, it's another "system." Most of us, as marketers, have pretty much come to recognize the word "system" as overused and often incorrectly placed. But, with "The Twitter Report" and the videos that follow, this stuff really is formatted into what you could correctly label a "system" at it's finest.

Walt & Chris have uncovered every known tip & trick for setting up your Twitter account to give you maximum return per tweet, while keeping everything on auto-pilot as much as possible. They leave nothing to question and go pretty in depth.

Most of the stuff they cover includes many things you could likely figure out on your own, however, this report can save you the time & aggravation of having to go through trial and error while you make the same mistakes they've already made for you, & neatly documented along the way.

Why waste time, energy, and money trying to figure it all out on your own when you could just see how it all worked out for them and simply follow their suggestions, which are already proven to work successfully?

After reading the report and watching some of the videos I give TwitterHints.com two enthusiastic thumbs up, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to stay on the cutting edge of this new wave of communications & hyper-connectedness.

You'll learn how to configure your settings, which 3rd party sites to join & how to set them up to run campaigns automatically, and much more.

I'm sure you'll enjoy "The Twitter Report" as much as I did and you can go check it out here:

The Last Word On The Plugin Profit Site

The following is a wonderful article submitted to my article directory by Ioannis Mitrou, which gives a very detailed account of the PIPs program that I highly recommend to all SFI affiliates:

"Here is a question you can consider when you're looking at starting your own Internet marketing business. How long should a business opportunity be online before it's considered legitimate? In this article we want to talk about the last word on the Plug-in Profit Site and why it is still a good opportunity today.

The Plug-in Profit Site has now been on the Internet for over five years. That can be a lifetime for a startup Internet business, but it has continued to improve and become a better opportunity today than it even was back when it was started in 2003.

The reason for this is because it offers Internet-based products that provide value to its customers. You are able to launch six income streams in less than 24 hours with your own website and e-mail marketing newsletter.

When we say these are Internet-based products we mean that you can buy and sell directly on the Internet. Some of these provide information instant access, and others offer true physical products that do require shipping.

The Plug-in Profit Site is an affiliate program that is comprised of affiliate and network marketing programs. Therefore it is free to join, and the only cost is to pay for website hosting, purchase a domain name if you do not have one, and join one program for one month.

One of the true benefits of the PIPS program is the tremendous back end training that offered. They have a forum that is part of one of the oldest Internet marketing forums today known as the Warrior Forum.

Within the plug-in profit site forum you're able to offer answers to questions as well as ask questioned yourself. If you choose not to participate in the discussion, you can sit back and just read and learn.

You're also given access to the Warrior Forum where you can go and learn about other ways to make Money on the Internet as well.

There is also access to training written by Stone Evans, the founder of the Plug-in Profit Site known as "30 Days To Success." This is some of the things that Stone personally has done to build his income into a seven-figure income per year in the last 10 years.

The Plugin Profit Site is here to stay and no longer has to prove itself to anyone. It is a good opportunity for people to get started in the work at home niche and learn how to do Internet marketing from there."

How To Make The BIG Money In SFI... FAST!

Yes! Finally!
What you will read here is what you've been waiting for and wanting to know!
It's my gift to you. Use it or lose it!

You CAN quickly make all the money you want by properly using SFI's amazingly easy, efficient, and effective system.

I know that SFI's money-making system works. I know how it works. And I can show you exactly what to do. I'll even help you get there.

For as long as it takes you to begin making money, I'll stay with you.
And I'll work with you too, helping you from now on to continue making BIG money with SFI.

***I'm an Executive Affiliate soon to become a Bronze Team Leader***.
I possess the knowledge and the experience that you need to have, having blazed the trail to successful leadership.

All you're required to do, to obtain the same success I and many other leaders have, is to follow the simple path that SFI has already provided for you, and go down the path that I'm now laying out for you, in detail, here in this document.

1) First, you must become an Executive Affiliate, and you need to remain an EA every month. Just figure out how to do it. Then do it!
If you want to succeed in SFI, and I'm sure you do, this part is absolutely essential and mandatory! Do not neglect it or minimize its importance!

Why is this? Because if you never set yourself up for EA status now, you'll probably never make the really big money that you can get from SFI.

But, never fear! Never say never. Becoming EA is easy! An absolute no-brainer it's so simple to do. You can even be EA for free! How about that!

All it takes for you to be EA is for you to produce at least ten (10) Sales Volume Points (SVP) every month by retail sales or personal purchase of any of SFI's products and services, the ones that appeal to you. It's totally your choice how you become and remain EA.

Any combination of SVP that you want to produce that adds up to a minimum of 10 SVP, or more, will also do the trick.

Here's a good way! Replace what you now buy elsewhere and instead get it from SFI. Your 10 SVP is "free" - no extra out-of-pocket expense.
SFI's International Association of Home Business Entrepreneurs (IAHBE) is another excellent, and very inexpensive, way to become and stay EA.

Or use SFI's products and services yourself. Check out the quality. Compare the true cost with other vendors. You'll be sold and can sell easily.
Then, let others know what you know... that SFI has the best products and services available. They'll see your enthusiasm and buy from you!

Even better, they may like what they get from SFI so much that they will join SFI as your latest and greatest personally sponsored affiliate!
Newest and best too... because they purchased from you. Follow up with these folks often! Because they definitely have an interest in SFI.

2) Secondly, you need to become a Team Leader, sponsoring a minumum of just five (5) EAs, and you should do this as soon as you can.
Don't worry about this or be concerned. Team Leader status can be very simple and easy to accomplish too. And quicker than you may think.

So, let's see. How can advancing to Team Leader be done?
Here's something very important that I recommend highly that you do now, today!

Sign yourself up for SFI's EyeEarn Advertising Network. For only $20, plus shipping, SFI will mail you an advertising kit. The kit contains a T-Shirt, banners and bumper stickers to place on your car, and other advertising materials. This kit allows you to advertise the network as you go about your daily activities. Hands off, every month that you remain qualified for EyeEarn, you'll be getting free affiliates and free money!

As a participant in the EyeEarn Network, you'll start receiving new affiliates personally sponsored in your name and extra income in your monthly commission as an extra benefit. These new affiliates that EyeEarn gives you, plus any others you produce yourself, will become your source for potential new Executive Affiliates. As Personally Sponsored Affiliates (PSAs), they'll be your pool of affiliates from where your new EAs will come.

3) Now all that's left for you to do is this final action: Let all your PSAs see this document - often... the document that you're reading now.
And it also might be good, even quite helpful, to find out from them what they want in return for becoming the newest lucky EA on your team.

Ask them! Find out what it is! Give to them whatever they want, such as a gift certificate, an incentive, or other convincer that you can come up with to convert them. If you have extra PSAs, reassign some of them to your PSAs who demonstrate interest to you. This works very well.

However, simply reading this document may be all that your PSAs need to convince them to promote themselves to Executive Affiliate status.

You can either copy this document and send it to your PSAs, or you can refer them to the URL address of this SFI Discussion Board thread.
You'll find the document URL address in your browser address bar. Look there now. Copy and save it. You'll be able to send folks to it easily.

Keep on with this process. Advise your EAs to also keep on with this process. They will follow you and use this process... because it works!
They will become Team Leaders like you, in profit, will remain active Team Leaders, and you each definitely WILL make BIG money with SFI.
Take any, or all, of these actions, and you're well on your way to becoming a wealthy and respected Team Leader, one who SFI values highly.

Provided, of course, that you and your PSAs do what it takes to rise to leadership in SFI to ultimately get all the rewards that SFI gives you.

HINT #1:
It's better to build deep instead of wide so that you produce the highest possible income. This means that the Team Leaders on your team need to produce Team Leaders just like you're producing Team Leaders, following your example, building deep.

If all you and they do is produce EAs, in other words building wide, you and your EAs will not make as much money.

HINT #2:
Produce as many EAs every month as you can! This is vitally important! Be sure to stress its value to all your EAs.
You each will make the most money possible with SFI, because SFI pays you double when you sponsor more than one EA in any one month.

HINT #3:
Don't sit back and do nothing. That guarantees you WON'T make money! Set goals. Be active. Do something every day to reach your goals!
What you have with SFI is a business, not a job! You're the Boss! You make the decisions! You, and only you, get it done!
As Gery Carson, President and Founder of SFI says, "IF IT IS TO BE, IT IS UP TO ME!"

And guess what - that's exactly how Gery got where he is today!
Follow his example, and mine, and you WILL profit with SFI!
DO THIS! It's how every leader in SFI has done it.

Just wanted to share an article I just wrote for Associated Content

Are You Serious About Wanting Financial Freedom?

So here's the deal -- you have heard all the Internet hype and you want to be "financially free." You want to get out of the "rat race." Every day, you go through the same miserable routine: roused by an obnoxious alarm clock at a brutally early hour, just to rush out to your gas-guzzling automobile and sit in traffic, alongside the other "beasts of burden" you call your business associates.

At the end of a day spent with no time to call your own you return to your refuge -- the home you can barely afford -- exhausted and pointlessly drained -- with just enough time to wash and iron your uniform or suit for the next day of much the same.

Do you ever feel like you are just existing, rather than actually living?

Do you have any control at all over your income? Can you decide when to begin and end your working day? Better yet, who chooses when you take a vacation, or when you even get to spend quality time with your family and friends? Maybe your spouse works outside the home too. Have you considered what you are missing while some stranger raises your children in your absence?

And though you may have the material things you need, do you have any of the things you want, like a few little extravagancies?

There is one thing you can be sure of: life is indeed short. When your time on this Earth is over, how will you be remembered? As a person who slaved away, day after day, for a paycheck, taking on extra hours and responsibilities to build an inheritance for your family by following "an exhausting routine that leaves no time for recreation"? Sorry, pal, but that is the definition of "Rat Race," and it leads to troubled families, employment burnout and, all too often, an early grave.

I'm not here to make you feel bad. Chances are, if any of this hit home, you are feeling bad enough already. So what is the answer?

The answer is it is time to take control of your future, by breaking your current cycle of trading hours for money. Instead, leverage your available time to create income streams that are not capped by an employer or by the amount of time you have in a single day. Do you REALLY want financial freedom? Do you REALLY want to get out of the rat race?

Then take the first step on your path to financial freedom. Do it today. The best place to learn how to do this is to immediately begin modeling yourself on the people who have successfully achieved this very step and more. But, it is time to go back to school.

You are never too old to go back to school. It is never too late to show your children that you are committed to building their inheritance, and that they too can control their life, their time, and their future. Success University is the school for anyone, at any age, and at any walk of life, to begin again.

With Success University, you can have access to the most influential teachers in every single area of personal growth and business success, ready to hold your hand and guide you to that path to real financial freedom.

Seriously, there is no need to go looking for just the right affiliate program, then looking for guidance on marketing, then looking for motivation to continue your journey when confusion sets in, then guidance on how to resolve your financial needs. One stop shopping -- that is the true key to financial FREEDOM. A complete education, a scam-free opportunity, training, support, it is all there, waiting for you . . . and your family.

I will be there, the sponsor and support you. So send me some pictures of the family, okay?

Can You Really Plugin The PIPS Program and Make Money?

The PIPS affiliate program was started by Stone Evans in the fall of 2002. It stands for the Plugin Profit Site and contains several elements that make it a great way to get started making money. But the real question is can you just plug it in and make money on auto pilot?

I will answer that right here and now!

The two main components on PIPS is you get your own money making website and email newsletter set up for you for free. All you do is pay for website hosting and an activation fee for Empowerism, which you can cancel in the second month if you like.

PIPS contains very good products and programs that are ready to go once you complete the sign-up process. They are placed on your website and contain all of your i.d. numbers for you.

Many affiliate programs use replicated websites. This is a website that is exactly like everybody else has. That is a problem when you are competing with thousands of other affiliates to make a sale.

With your own Plugin Profit Site you get to choose your own domain name which is one thing that is different. You also host it yourself so you can make any changes to it as you see fit in the future.

Out of the box the website is not completely search engine friendly and is one thing you should consider doing. Another thing is starting and hosting your own blog. This is important for future website content.

PIPS offers a tremendous training program called "30 Days To Success" as well as access to a members only forum where you can interact and learn from other members. This is helpful for your ongoing training.

As a starter program PIPS is very good and you can make sales starting in your first day if you know how to market on the internet. Most people do not so you will have to learn how to get traffic to your website.

This is a factor in the success of any internet based business and is the number one problem people trying to make money online face. You get a head start by having your own website and newsletter set up for you. This allows you to focus on learning the marketing strategies you will need to become a success with this program.

So again we ask, "can you really plug in the PIPs program and make money?" As you can see the answer is yes and no. The website and newsletter contain money making programs, but how you use them is up to you. That is what makes the Plugin Profit Site successful.

SFI Affiliates: Are You Missing the Boat??

I received this month's SFI newsletter and it featured links to the SFI DBoard. What an enlightening bunch of information I tripped across!

To sum it up, if you are not (1) using and promoting SFI's products; and (2) utilizing SFI's many available co-ops for building your affiliate base -- you are missing out on a potential "cash cow" in both areas!

Let me explain:

I am in the process of building some Squidoo lenses to showcase some of the TONS of products offered each month through SFI's Veriuni line of high-quality products. Check out some of the info on SFI's website about the retail end of just their cleaning products!:

Selling Tips for Natural Cleaning Products
Points to hit when selling:
1. Reduces the chances of liability from employee illnesses and reactions to toxic cleaning chemicals used within the organization.
2. Cost of disposal of toxic waste is reduced.
3. Cost is competitive or even cheaper than traditional cleaners.
4. Reduces health concerns of employees, clients, and family members.

Companies to target for Veriuni™ sales:
1. Janitorial firms, local housekeeping agencies
2. Nursing homes
3. Hotels and motels
4. Large companies in your area with a variety of cleaning needs
5. Restaurants
6. Daycare centers
7. Public and private schools
8. Rehabilitation centers and hospitals
9. Local centers of worship
10. Fitness centers

HINT: With smaller firms, you’ll probably be approaching the owner. Hotels may have a housekeeping department or a manager interested in reducing liability for employees and guests. With larger companies, you may want to contact the safety director, who will also be interested in reducing liability risks.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Steps To The Sale
1. Bring some literature telling about the product line. You can print out descriptions of the products from the Veriuni™ Website. Focus on taking care of all the cleaning needs of your prospective customer.

2. Hit them with testimonials and endorsements about the Veriuni™ products. This will show the prospective customer the legitimacy of the cleaners and the fact that they work. After all, which would you rather buy for your business or home-a no-name competitor; an expensive, toxic traditional cleaner; or the very same effective, safe cleaner being used right now (under different brand names) by various state and city government agencies, private resorts, and the National Park Service?

3. Talk about the reduction of liability for the prospective customer, in terms of a safer, healthier environment for employees, clients, and the general public. Although no claims have yet gone to court over illnesses incurred by the cleaning products in a place of work, a school, or a hospital, does your prospective customer want to take that chance? For home owners and other individual customers, mention the growing scientific evidence showing the link between illnesses, diseases, and other side effects and the toxic chemicals found in most traditional cleaners.

4. Demonstrate the products. We suggest you use your 16-ounce samples as a demonstration kit to show prospective clients just how effective Veriuni™ cleaners are. Use them in your own home, experiment with different messes (grease, oil, stains, etc.), and become familiar with each Veriuni™ product. Then, have your client follow you to toughest areas to clean in the building, office, or home, or the nearest bathroom, where you can demonstrate the glass cleaner on the mirrors, for example. Or, pick a spot on the carpet and use the Enzyme Stain Remover to clean the stain. Mention that this product will also take care of pet odors (important for hotels that accept pets), grass stains, blood-any organic-based stain.

5. Ask the customer how many products they’d like to buy. Be sure to tell them that they have nothing to lose and everything to gain by trying Veriuni™. Mention the price comparisons, the money they could save, and the reduced liability risks. If they still have their doubts, mention the fact that they could purchase the sample pack to give the Veriuni™ cleaners a try. You may also want to consider pre-ordering the Veriuni™ sample packs to sell to prospective customers, especially home owners and others with a variety of cleaning needs.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Possible Objections From Prospective Customers
Healthcare Facilities
Objection: Many hospitals, nursing homes, and other healthcare facilities have a strict focus on using the most stringent, extremely harsh disinfectants available.
Possible Response: Although these cleaners work, the toxins contained within them could actually cause more problems, such as allergic reactions, illnesses, and breathing problems among employees and patients, than they solve. Moreover, the price, as well as the disposal costs, can be quite high. You could also mention that The University Medical Center at Hackensack, N.J.-the seventh largest healthcare facility in the nation-is now on board the Veriuni™ bandwagon (under a different brand name), and scientific evidence continues to mount about the possible side effects of toxic chemicals. Consequently, healthcare facilities across the country are re-examining their attitudes toward traditional cleansers.

Other Clients
Objection: The customer has tried “green” products in the past, only to discover they did not work effectively and/or were too expensive.
Possible Response: Point out that the very same cleaners now being marketed under the Veriuni™ brand name have been proven in tests by the EPA, the City of Santa Monica, and others. Veriuni™ has competed head-on with a variety of green and traditional cleaners and has consistently performed better and more effectively than competing products. Consequently, Veriuni™ products are sold and used all over the country by individual consumers, restaurants, hospitals, and janitorial companies, as well as anyplace where keeping the environment and the facilities clean are absolutely essential. You may also want to refer to the Veriuni™ testimonials (available at this site).

Objection: The customer is content with their current green or traditional product and sees no reason to switch brands.
Possible Response: Focus on health concerns for clients, students, employees, etc., particularly on the reduced risks of liability resulting from using green products. Mention Veriuni™’s endorsements and testimonials, as well as price comparison chart. Ask your prospective client what they really have to lose by switching to a proven, effective cleaner that is safer for their employees than traditional cleaners. Perform a demonstration of Veriuni™ in action.

Your Desire to Succeed

First, allow me to introduce Mariesophie Zamy, are team's newest Executive Affiliate -- CONGRATULATIONS Mariesophie, and welcome to the residual income team!!

When I read this blurb by Mike Dillard, I thought about those of you building teams who are staving off the nay-sayers who constantly bombard you with negative reminders that 95% of all marketers fail:

The Real Reason People Quit...

On the surface this may seem like a very simple question that could be answered by a few of the typical/obvious answers:

They quit.
They didn't plug in.
They didn't participate.

Whatever...

What you want to ask yourself, or maybe even know about yourself, is WHY...

WHY didn't they follow through, while others do?

When I finally learned the answer to this question last week listening to a CD in my MLM university (aka, my truck), it was quite sobering...

Not only did the reason behind their results come into the open, but the reason for my recent spat of success became apparent as well.

So what's the answer?

Why do most people fail when a select few succeed?

Drum roll please...

Those who do succeed have a Core Desire to do so.

Those who don't share that same Core level of desire will not.

"Desire... Ya Mike I've already heard that 100 times from my upline: 'Just look for people with desire and you'll do great... Yada Yada Yada... Everyone I talk to has the desire to make more money. It hasn't made any difference so far."

And you're right.

The difference is in their level of desire.

The only time anything ever gets done in your life - When you follow it through to completion with a sense of urgency, is when you desire to accomplish that task at Core Level of 100 on a scale of 100.

You must accomplish it. It's a part of you. It consumes you.

It dominates your thoughts above and beyond anything else each day and all day.

These are Core desires, and the people who achieve notable success in network marketing, have that accomplishment as a core desire.

That's it.

That's the secret.

If attaining your goal, whether it be to pay off your credit cards, buy a house, save for retirement, or fire your boss, is not a core desire, and not attached to your networking business, you will not succeed. Period.

The sad truth, is that most people in this industry did not buy a business, they bought hope.

And hope is never backed by true desire.

Hope is for the undecided.

A career in network marketing (i.e. a boss free life), has been a core desire of mine for the last 7 years.

I've moved across the country because of it. I've taken certain jobs because of it. I've dated or not dated because of it. I spent money on training instead of furniture because of it.

The desire to never work for anyone else again has been a dominating force in my life, and it's the reason I didn't quit after the first 6 years of hell. It's the reason I continued to pour every spare cent I ever made into my business. It's the reason I pawned a $3,000 bike I won two state championships on to buy advertising - and came up empty.

Yet I kept going forward without doubt because I have this core desire at a level of 100 to succeed in networking.

And this means my success was 100% guaranteed. It was no longer a matter of IF, but when...

So that's why people you sponsor quit.

Don't get frustrated. 80% of people who join you will never sponsor more than 1 rep or customer. Most people simple don't have the desire at a level of 100 to accomplish their goals through their new business. They just bought hope in order to quiet that little voice inside them that keeps nagging them to make a change.

Once they buy the business, and they don't make $1,000 in 5 days, they can then justify their fear of change with the "logic" that it just "didn't work", and that they knew it was a scam to begin with... This is especially true with opportunity seekers, which is why I don't waste my money on leads and why you shouldn't either.

Ha.

So sad, yet so true. People are funny aren't they?

So my question to you is...

What is your desire level to achieve your goal through network marketing?

Is it at 50? (like most people)

Is it at 80? (not enough)

Is it at 90? (not enough)

Or is it at 100? (The only number that WILL produce results).

You should be able to tell pretty quickly...

What do you do each day to build your business? How many books on the industry do you own? How many conference calls are you on each week? How many people do you talk to about your business/product each day?

What would you be willing to give and sacrifice to succeed?

I hope the answer to that questions is "whatever it takes", because I can promise you the end result is worth the sacrifice.

So how can you tell if your prospect is going to succeed or fail from the very first phone call?

Easy...

Ask them this question: "So which books are you currently reading on self-development and marketing?"

Anyone who is TRULY serious about being a successful entrepreneur will be able to name at least one book they are reading right now.

Those who can't, are just kidding themselves."

"There is no question that marketing is one of the most crucial facets to your internet business. Without the proper marketing campaign it is extremely difficult to run a functional business. Traffic generates sells which helps keep the business alive. Despite what many believe, there are a number of free internet marketing methods that are just as effective as paying top dollar for advertising.

One of the best free internet marketing you will find is posting in forums. There are thousands of forums spread all across the internet. And the great thing about it is there are forums specifically made for certain niches allowing you to talk with people that have the same interests. This will make it much easier to focus on a target market as oppose to talking with people that have no interest whatsoever.

Once you get into forums you have the ability to build relationships and gain trust from people. If you can offer fresh and enticing information, people will notice your expertise and be more than willing to see what your business has to offer. You can also promote various sales or new products your site has within the forum itself.

Similar to posting in forums, setting up your own blog can be extremely beneficial as well. By having your own blog you can lead the way and start the topics. Having a blog allows you to easily refer people to your web site right from your blog. But it can also be a way for you to open up to customers and show that you are not all about business. Relationships are key to having success on the internet.

Maybe the best free internet marketing methods is writing articles. The obvious benefit of writing articles is putting your expertise out for display. Once you have a fully written article you will want to submit it to as many article directories as possible. The more directories you submit the article to, the better chance you have of people seeing it. Then you want to place your web site link within the resource box to direct readers straight to the site.

Lastly, link trades are a little old fashion but remain a great way to get free marketing. Link trades involve you exchanging your link for someone else's link. In return of you placing their link on your site, they place your link on their site. The more backlinks you have pointing to your site the better. It is vital, though, that you only exchange links with a web site that has a page rank equal to or higher than yours in order for you to benefit.

Regardless of what others may think, you can benefit greatly from free internet marketing. Using the methods from this article will allow you to generate a large amount of traffic while bringing in a great deal of money."

I look forward to hearing from you!!

Take Quitting Off the Table

You know how much I love to quote the mentors in Success University. Here's this week's words of inspiration from George Morse:

"The key to making a strong and lasting commitment is to take the option of quitting off the table. When you are faced with obstacles and looking for solutions to overcome them, you will end up with several options to choose from. For most people, giving up is always an option (they won’t admit that, but it’s true.) The bottom line: people frequently exercise the option to quit. It’s better to just take the option of quitting off the table.

About ten years into my marriage, my wife and I were having real trouble. Actually, trouble is an understatement! Even the marriage counselor told me our situation was hopeless, and she recommended we get divorced.

Feeling there was no other choice, I filed for divorce. It was the worst time of my life. My failing business didn’t seem very important compared to the prospect of losing my family, and there didn’t seem to be anything I could do to save either one. I had almost completely given up (about ready to fail my commitment test) when my mother gave me a little advice; a few simple, but powerful words that not only saved my marriage, but had a major impact on all areas of my life. My mother told me how at one point, in her marriage of forty years, my father and she were arguing frequently. The subject of divorce came up often, until it seemed they couldn’t have a disagreement without mentioning divorce. I asked her how they overcame the problem, and her answer was simple. She told me that both of them knew they did not want a divorce. They loved each other and desired to stay together, so they decided to stop throwing divorce on the table as an option. Once they stopped considering divorce as an option they had no other choice but to find ways to get along and find solutions to their problems.

My wife and I followed my mother’s advice to take divorce off the table as an option, and it has made all the difference in our marriage. It has been more than ten years since we reconciled our differences, and as I write this, our 20th Wedding Anniversary is only one month away. Sure, we’ve had our share of arguments along the way, but we’ve worked through them together and found solutions that worked. Quitting was no longer an option.

In my business I have applied this same understanding of commitment, and the results have been amazing. The turning point in the success of my business was made the day I took quitting off my table as an option. I scribbled out the last line of my plan that said, “…and if this doesn’t work I can do something else.” I no longer considered finding a different job, selling the business, or filing for bankruptcy as possible solutions to my business woes. Instead of spending valuable time and energy on new exit strategies, I began to focus that energy on the development of new and innovative ways to succeed. As a result, I began to find solutions and grow the business.

Today when I encounter problems, quitting is no longer an option. I only consider options that bring me closer to the realization of my vision. When working with clients, I encourage them to do the same. For those of them who have embraced the concept, the results have been life changing."

TEAM MEMBERS -- TAKE QUITTING OFF THE TABLE. If you are struggling to make your business work, use the tools at your disposal through the SFI website's training, marketing and resources sections. Ask me, that's what I'm here for.
Remember: IF YOU DON'T SUCCEED, I DON'T SUCCEED.

So here's to our success!

And more congratulations to our EA, Terry Simpson, for his latest affiliate sign-on. I've transferred another affiliate to your downline to match! EVERYBODY SHOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MY CHALLENGE, now in its last 3 days:
* Upgrade to EA, I'll transfer 10 affiliates to your downline
* I will match each and every new affiliate sign-on for every member of our team.

Another Gift for our Team Members!!

'Tis the season....

First, congratulations to our latest Smart Start graduate, Violante! Hopefully I'll be getting your Executive Affiliate status email notification soon.....

I'm not sure why, once completing Smart Start training, you all wouldn't be SO EXCITED about the opportunity SFI offers to fast-track your goals for financial freedom with your own home business.

I do have a special offer I've been authorized to give the members of our team who have completed Smart Start training through SFI (whether you are an affiliate or EA, you need only to have completed the training). Note: If you hare not sure whether you have completed this training, feel free to email me at melissa@mykidsinheritance, and I can look up your status.

Once you have completed it, proceed to http://www.mykidsinheritance.com/MPM, click on "Click Here to learn more," then click on "Yes, I want my BUSINESS Power Mall."

This is a wonderful opportunity introduced to our affiliates by successful, President's Club-level members of SFI -- these are the folks making THOUSANDS of dollars each month, who only pass on guaranteed, proven opportunities to fellow affiliates.

So again, IF you have completed Smart Start training (if not, you are probably not prepared to expand your home internet business yet), go to http://www.mykidsinheritance.com/MPM, and follow the links to claim your BUSINESS Power Mall. You may, of course, complete your Smart Start training now and go directly to this link afterward....

Note: Claiming a personal Power Mall has NOT been recommended, as a team cannot be built with a "personal" mall; therefore, please ensure you have chosen 'business.' Please feel free to look around and watch the video presentation on MPM's site as well.

AND REMEMBER, you have SEVEN more days to meet my upgrade challenge and claim your free affiliates!!

Melissa

Challenge to My Team!!

Congratulations to our newest Executive Affiliate, Raymond Rosuman! Raymond, send me your preferred website address to post on our team blog at http://www.sfi-team1.blogspot.com for a free backlink and exposure....

Team, we're growing my leaps and bounds, and I'd love to see us continue this upward trend. So once again, let's get into a season of giving:

Each new EA on our team during the next 10 days, from today 11/29 through Sunday, 12/9, will receive 10 new affiliates in their downline to get them started.

ALSO, each and every affiliate that signs on a new affiliate in their downline will receive MATCHING affiliates. So even if you're not an EA, I'll transfer a new affiliate into your downline for each person you get to join our team.

Nicole, Raymond and Grant, I'll be transferring affiliates into your downline over the next day or so, as they come in to me from the various coops I belong to.

Come on, folks, challenge me!! Make me work!! Let's all make some money this holiday season...
