You know that thing that happens when someone close to you is pregnant and then you start to see more pregnant women all around? That can happen, I think because pregnant women are more to the front of your mind so therefore you notice other pregnant women more.
Without there being someone you know being pregnant, would you still see other pregnant women but not actually notice them so much or would there be less pregnant women around?
forest, sound, tree, there, no-one, is?
That is one possible train of thought on todays happenings.
I've really got into the law of attraction lately, I've re-read things from Think and Grow Rich, reviewed certain paragraphs in Lotus in a Stream. I've also been thinking a lot about online things, what sort of things I could do if I put my mind to it, well, put my toys down and took something seriously for a while.
I designed an ecommerce site a few months ago (well, manipulated a template and script) as part of my job and it turned out really nice. Things changed direction at work and the project was put on hold until the future.
The future is now!
It was only last week that I was thinking how nice it would be to have my own large ecommerce site with a big range of stock available to me for good prices. I thought about it some more this week and even went so far as to try and make another one to see how hard it was to change the style but keep the same categories and use the same database on a different domain in the far future dream of controlling a portfolio of websites that all use the same stock but have been targeted differently by having particular products on special offer.
Today I was told I have been invited to play an integral role in a mahoosive project, a large budget "get it made and working" project. I get to do what I've been doing already with my own sites but on a larger and more importantly, bigger budgeted way! I can't say more about it, except - "what an opportunity!!"
of course, I totally knew that was gonna happen.......... ;-P
on a side note, I went to the shop today to buy some stamps and finally decided to check the euromillions ticket that has been in my wallet for a couple of months. 17.82 !! hahaha, I won the lottery. In true Homer Simpson style, I bought 11 more with the winnings. I wonder if my karmic behaviour will give me a "my name is Earl" experience? lol :-)
I've got a day off this week!! yey, my first Sunday off in 4 weeks so I'm going to use the time in the morning where everone else is asleep and think about a successful online business and how many staff I can get, how big the warehouse is going to be and even how many packages a day will be going out the door. I'll have imaginary meetings with powerful manufacturers, leaders of business and drive an imaginary mercedes A class home to my bungalow and sit down next to my partner and watch a massive HD tv and recount in joyish fashion how good it is to be 'us'...
.. and then I'm gonna have poached eggs on toast with frankfurter on the side. mmmmm

Shock! Religious experience that wasn't religious (its a way to elightenment you know)
Not sure where to put this but I wrote it out on notepad as soon as it happened.....
a strange thing just happened. Not strange as such, but definitely something that my subconscious decided to absorb enough to leak into my frontal lobe.
At 7pm precisely I lit the incense and placed it on Guangyan's holder and put my hands together in a Buddhist style and closed my eyes and tried to put my vibrations in tune with the values of Guanyan (or the defining states of mind that She is said to
represent).
I'm not a deity person, I like Buddhism because of the way I interpret the teachings of Master Hsing Yin in his book called Lotus in a Stream , he explains very well in a modern style how Buddhism works. In my mind the stories he tells and the way I read them certainly has linkings with string theory and the law of attraction. Back on subject!...
I closed my eyes while I was doing the vulcan mind meld state and tuned my quantum strings with those of the appropriate states and images, the idea being,just by imagining stuff - it can happen, the same with thoughts or intentions - they will come to be if the situation is right combined with the right cause and so on, come take a peek in my mind and you'll see what I mean.
When things harmonize, they must (IMHO) first resonate with each other just before the helix's combine. That's what happened, there was a red and yellow lightness to the other side of my eyelids. Not looking at my eyelids, just a visual confirmation of a thought happening, like the light on a USB stick flashing in time with the data transfer. "wow, that's nice" said I and went through the same motions again, mind tuning and letting go like the inside of a slow motion balloon bursting and lo-and-behold, it happened again.
Thing is, I didn't realise to try and extend it more. It just was time to open my eyes again. Lots of thoughts happened in light speed, only to be recalled and realised after. I was two steps away and went back for another go thinking it must have been the lamps or the glow of the incense but it wasn't those. It wouldn’t work without the thought thing as well, I didn’t try with the thought thing again because it didn’t feel shiny.
Now is later when I caught up with the burst transmission through my synapses sent by subby just after the silent kerrrzing of two thought helix's coming together, one and
one being just slightly less than one because both helix's will inevitably share some strings that are opposed and cancel each other out when they join and thus sharpen or focus a thought incrementally.
Ever file merged with php? trying to merge two files of names some records are the same so 1024 bytes added to 1024 bytes can sometimes equal 2000 bytes.
More thoughts started to form and were accompanied with a well being feeling, a warmth that has no temperature. The kind I feel in moments where I realise my partner has done something to make my life easier and hadn't thought to mention it, she must have been doing that for ages…, the outrush of love and gratitude.
My woes of the day that were feedbacking in two sided circles as I fought for a relaxed mind after a busy days work suddenly unravelled like twisted up elastic bands and were left to float in the space in my head that occupies a similar dimension and only pops in now and then unexpectedly (like that
guy that eats so loudly). I was cured! I could walk! etc, summit happened and it really went ping like a moment of clarity. I couldn't precisely explain what happened but rather than feel frustrated, I felt comforted that it had happened and subby (you know, him in the back of conscious) would probably send me some dreams this week. I hope those lions don't come back, yeah they did what they were told last time but they had that 'look'….. Mutiny! fetch me a Bounty. mmmm chocolate.

New affiliates bring new ideas and motivation
I find myself in the position of tutoring and mentoring again. My new affiliate has contacted me for help before I got to him first which is a rare thing indeed. His first reply said the usual stuff that a new affiliate says. He has talked to friends and family and they gave him the bums'rush. He isn't up for talking to people on the phone and doesn't know what to do.
It reminded me of a quote from Flight of the Phoenix.
If you can't give a man a dream give him hope,
if you can't give him hope then at least give him something to do.
Nice! I have signed him up to my 30 day email course for getting started and according to his grammar and wordage I figure him to be a green so he'll need plenty of links and faceless promotion techniques which, as it happens - I have in abundance!
The first thing I did was reassure him and get him to hold back the scepticism for a week or two while we work out something for him to do and his next reply was much more upbeat!
Onwards and upwards!

There should be a law against it! (not blogging)
Oh dear, it looks like I have given up mentoring considering how long it has taken me to post another entry here but I haven't!! I have in fact, been mentoring so much that I haven't had much time to do anything else.
I do a lot of forum posting and email motivating too and now I seem to be getting at least one call a week from a lost affiliate looking for help so I try to do what I can and point them in the right direction or perhaps sign them up myself!
The more I do this business, the more I realize it has very little to do with online skills, ezine advertising, blogging, opt-in lists and whatever "pay money for this service" happens to be about. It has EVERYTHING to do with people, folk like you and me - people join people. They might respond to a promotional email but guess what? if you don't contact them and speak to them like a human being then all they'll do is what got them to join. They'll email and email and suddenly get completely lost and disappointed.
Big Al goes on about it, he says what attracted him was the firing his boss speech so he used that on everyone and found it to be very frustrating. Everyone is different so everyone will have different hooks. For some it will be the more time with their loved ones, for others it will be more having more money than their loved ones! and others it could be taking charge of their life again.
So make sure you do many things on many days, try all types of promotion so you know how to do it and you'll learn how others get interested, but don't forget the absolute best way to get people in your team.....
talk to them!!
What I tell to prospects for my elottery business doesn't take longer than a few seconds
"do you play the lottery?"
yes continues, no gets a "do you know someone that does?"
"great have you/they got the internet?"
no gets them a DVD to take home and watch along with "watch this, it could be the answer to early retirement"
yes gets them a card with "visit this site and watch the movie, it could be the difference between working for someone else and working for yourself"
Simple.
Most MLM companies have a good website, most have a movie, almost all have testimonials. They spend thousands on copywriting, more thousands on design. Let them do the work for you, your job is not to sell the product or a dream, it's your job to get them to the site/movie/seminar. Once that's done, then you can start to talk more about the business because they will actually listen this time.
That means following up, don't make one contact and leave it. Always always always follow up with people you have spoken to. Keep a list of everyone you have talked to, talk to them 6 times a year until they join, move or die.
Be successful.....

The first mastermind group meeting . Leeds Event
The Leeds event was a resounding success! We all had a great day and it was a real experience seeing the people that I have talked to with VOIP for the past few weeks. Robby gave an excellent getting started section with what he did in his first 30 days and showed us his diary with week 1 - preparation and observation, week 2 planning and following through - sewing the seeds. Week 3 following up (reaping) week 4 support and a combination of 1, 2, 3 and 4 from now on. Awesome piece Robby.
The 21 game and following piece about getting off to a good start (and finish) seemed to go down well and I got a few laughs and people interacting with my half hour piece. It’s amazing what you can pick up from a few conferences and I was able to share the valuable nuggets that I have picked up from my previous jobs and motivational and instructional past and pass them on to people who I know will do something with them.
Well done to those that won a prize on the raffle and congratulations to all certificate receivers!! I took some good photo’s and should be able to upload them after I return.
I was really really pleased with how everything went and I can’t wait for the next one! (I’m expecting it to be twice the number of people too!) Look out for the news in late April for the next event in Leeds.
A big thanks to those that turned up and I hope you all got something out of the day….I know I did.

a hoarse throat comes with a satisfied glow
I'm a little hoarse today and no I'm not a small equestrian animal! - I have a husky, talked out sound to my words after spending the whole day on the phone doing training, practicing my event speech, mentoring, prospect calls and a wicked good conference about blogs. Now I sound like I've smoked a million cigarettes and shouted at a million football matches!
It's all been worth it though, I've finished the day with a warm feeling all over with the knowledge that I've done a good job and I'm certain I have helped some people today. One was cross line from me in my NM company, he downloaded the ebook and I gave him a ring... we talked for nearly an hour about how his business is (great so far!) and how he can take it to the next level with just a little more contact with his team.
While we was talking it occurred to me how close I am to being "there" in terms of running my own conferences and events. I've done some smallish online conferences this year and my first event is this Saturday in Leeds [link] which looks to be a super duper event! I went out today and bought some gifts for the competition and bought some certificate paper for awards like "most analytical recruit" or "quickest free play" and plan on giving everyone a little something for attending like a pc headset or diary. When I attended conferences from my company before it filled me with excitement and helped me along on the cold slow days but sometimes in a moment of disparity I would think to myself ,"how the hell am I going to get to that stage? can I stand in front of 200 people and do that? oh bugger"
...and here I am ready to do my first event where I'll get up in front of everyone and give them my personal experiences and how it can help them build their own businesses. I'm really looking forward to it too! My hard copy laminated plan had me doing this around now and so I truly believe that by September this year that I will be hosting a 200+ attendance conference and in the position of my "why" .
why do I do this every day? why do I talk to people? why do I continue in network marketing?
because I want to take care of my girl, her mum and her daughter. To know I am providing and sharing my success with those that care for me. (and then I'll have to go get another "why" hehehe)
ooo golly, I'm so close - I can smell it......
Bill Britt once said , "There is no secret. I simply showed the plan to 1200
people. 900 said, 'No.' and only 300 signed up. Out of those 300, only
85 did anything at all. Out of those 85 only 35 were serious, and out
of those 35, 11 made me a millionaire."

Think and Grow Rich progress (book and life)
I've not been able to attend the live prospect calls all this week and I missed Judith May's segment on low cost advertising, you know why? because my business has been so busy!! I've took the Think and Grow Rich book to heart lately.
The decisions chapter, many made and committed to.
Phone calls, many made and many great!
Offline advertising, again, new methods and new results.
Home presentations! yup, actually going and visiting someone in their own home and sometimes presenting "across the kitchen table" as is talked and quoted about in the myriad of different sources of information I have been absorbing this year!
I've listened and listened to Tom Big Al Schreiter's CD's (15 of them), Anthony Robbins tapes, watched fantastic movies, had meetings and arranged my own event (happening on 25th this month).
And now my lotto blog [link] has got it's Google PR of 5 and has suddenly started appearing at the top 2 or 3 spots on searches for my major keywords. The blog has just clocked 100,000 visitors since November, I'm really pleased with the repeat visitor percentage and it has proven to be a useful tool for my team. Not only to learn new things but to use when talking to prospects to show them the kind of support that they can expect.
awesome.
I started to feel rich months ago, I discovered my internal faith was justified around the same time so I burnt a rather large bridge (metaphorically) and not looked back. I have no deity or specific religious belief system to give thanks to but I do try to thank the universe as a whole and look for things to do that 'pay back' for the great things I am feeling. (the term infinite intelligence sounds awfully familiar but I've only noticed it since reading the above book so I talk to that sometimes - is that praying? nah, I prefer the term meditating, besides, it answers back) :-) hehe, and this is where you call for the men in white coats.
Just recently I gave up the cow, not some crazy addictive substance, but beef. I was talking to my partner about all things 'universey' and how things repeat themselves in almost everything and moved on to the subject of giving thanks if you don't have a specific 'god' to give thanks to and she said if I wanted to give back something that would mean a lot to her and her mother it was to not eat beef any more. So no more steaks or burgers for me and I'm happy with that. More and more of what I hear about Buddhism fits with my own current experiences, I like also that it isn't exactly a 'religion' but more a path of practice of insights into the true nature of life and I don't believe in coincidence so everything that is happening in my life keeps saying "yup, this way...not far now..." sometimes it's scary!! but the nice kind of scary that you get on a good rollercoaster and sometimes it can even make me buzz like a coffee machine with double strength Columbian brown-pow! (decency stops me from telling how that feeling affects my relationship and it's 'relations' fnarr fnarr)
Feels like being in love (which I am so I get double).
Oh and by Wednesday this week, I will have zero balance on ALL my credit cards AND my loan. hah! .... all aboard! next stop happiness and success with someone to share it with......
till next time
