Great meeting last night with Daniel Wagner in London as he clearly set out to encourage learning about using the internet to develop an income stream.
He talked about your life being a printout of your inner world. In other words, there is a process of manifestation taking place when your thoughts impact on your feelings which determination the actions you will take that influences the results you will get. So if you want to become successful in this business as in any others, start looking at the thoughts you are generating because that will surely influence your results.
So his model of success was, as I followed it:
Showing up to learn
Modelling from other people who've 'done it'
Honing your knowledge and skills one step at a time. And he had some pretty good knowledge to share with the packed room last night that included:
How to research a niche market and develop a niche product Creating a Squeeze opt-in page Using Google Adwords Generating targetted traffic to your website Affiliate marketing Using autoresponders to build a list Joint venture, Blogs, Adsense Building a funnel And more
He gave great value and managed to pack a lot into 3 hours. Well done Daniel and thank you.
Blessings for Today
1. I really felt a part of a community of sorts as I connected with a lot of people I knew at the Internet marketing seminar last night and I was garteful for that sense of shared community.
2. For all the new learning and the reinforcement of old ideas, I am thankful.And that there are people like Daniel who inspired us to see this business as a level playing field where anyone can succeed playing even against the 'big guys'. I found that reassuring.
3. That my son's hard work paid off with the French exams. His determination to succeed plus the actions he took around his revision, coursework etc. really paid off for him. And he continues to inspire me.
As it turned out, I met up this week with a group of people who like myself are fairly new to the world of Internet Marketing. Although we’re not a mastermind group as such, quite simply, we have all the hallmarks of a great support group. Make no mistake, this is one of the things that will greatly contribute to our success.
Let face it, we’ve all known what its like to struggle on by ourselves but with many more heads together what couldn't we achieve?. We had a great meeting and we've agreed that we wanted to use the group
to support and motivate each other to act with integrity around each other to be focussed in our meetings to share our knowledge and resources as appropriate to aim to make money online
In terms of the sharing of resources, I wish we’d come across these Head Start audios just perfect for newbies like ourselves that have been created by a guy in Australia called Nathan Hockley.
The fact that it costs so little at $5US was an added incentive for me to get this great set of 20 mp3 audio talks (5 volumes) explaining in simple terms, (Oh I do like simple!) the basic principles of Internet Marketing. I’ve been lucky to spot it as its only available for another day or so. I’m already up and running with ideas about the how and why of article submissions. Which just happens to be one of the actions I said I would undertake by the time the group next meets in a couple of weeks.
It takes you through all the basics of internet marketing, covering topics such as Writing articles Building lists within 24 hours Traffic generation Writing killer ads PLR domination Email marketing Secrets of the gurus Professional forum participation for profits Increasing the potency of testimonials and much, much more ...
An amazing resource for so little money. They’re great for anyone who’s struggling to get started online and also for people who don’t want to wade through another manual but would rather listen on-the-go as they’re downloadable to an MP3, ipod, cellphone, PC.
If you are a newbie like myself, its certainly not going to break the bank at only $5 or about £2.50. What’s that? The cost of a pint or a coffee? Check it out here
I think we covered a lot in our little group and I'm very optimistic for where this collaboration may take us. I hope this is shared by the others and that within the next six months we’ll be celebrating being gurus ourselves and enjoying the fruits of our labours. I’ll certainly be posting more news about how we are getting on.
Blessings for Today
1. The Gasman Cometh. Well, actually he came. And he gave us a clean bill of health, and its something to be grateful for that we set up for whatever the winter may bring. I am so grateful for the warmth in my home. At many levels.
2. I went out for a walk in the garden today and saw the first terrifically blue periwinkle in flower from a cutting I’d taken a few years ago. I can’t tell you haw delighted I was – it was like finding gold in them there hills. I felt really cheered seeing it. I appreciate the little things that bring joy into my heart.
3. I am grateful to my Internet Marketing Success Group for the great start we have made and the feeling of hand-holding in unfamiliar territory. Thank you.
If you were to close your eyes right now and spend a few delicious moments just imaging what your life might be like one, five or ten years from now, what would you see happening?
What if your thoughts became your reality, your life? What then would you start to imagine in your life? If you knew the secrets of success lay in the thoughts you have, would you change your vision? Would you live with more passion? Would you see yourself living the good life? Would you let in peace of mind, great health, financial security, the car you really want, the schools you really want your kids to go to, the business you would be running, the relationships you would have, the joyfulness and sense of purpose that would fill your life? Too right you would.
But you know what? Most of us occupy our minds with the detritus of life - the bills we can't pay, the income we can't have, the broken relationships, the lack, the problems. I hold my hands up to spending far too much time lately on a particular broken relationship and I'm not best pleased with myself that I've allowed that to happen. So I'm really drawing more of the same to me. I should know better!
How often do we get good news on The News? Exceptionally. So thats what often occupies our mind. Bad News. And needless to say, when we fill our thoughts with lack and bad news, don't we just seem to generate more of it? We come to accept it as part of the condition of being human.
But what if we had the opportunity to shape our destiny the way we really wanted it and to get excited about our futures? What if we could start right now to create that future by changing our thoughts? Ya Ya Ya Di Da! Off with the fairies again! I know its hard to take in but if we want to improve the circumstances of our lives, we have to start with the circumstances of our thoughts.
And the first place to start is to get very clear about what you want to happen in your life. I heard about this guy called Eric Edmeades who is leading a one day workshop in London on 9th Dec. on Your Best Year Ever. Its an event designed to help people plan, focus and construct their goals that will help them turn 2008 into one of the best. He has a structured approach to helping others succeed in business, career, finance, lifestyle, relationships, travel and adventure and more. I'll be there for sure. I want to hear more of what he's about.
"To accomplish great things, we must not only believe and dream, but also plan and act. "- Eric Edmeades.
To get hold of more information about this free seminar, visit http://www.triumphantevents.co.uk/EricEdmeades2008 This is a combination of practical NLP and real world life lessons that's going to be very rewarding, inspiring, effective and fun.
"Dream big, Plan well, Play hard" - Eric Edmeades
I believe Eric isn't much taken by all this Law of Attraction stuff. He is much more into smart planning. But many roads can lead you there and I don't think the one approach cancels out the others so here's a different mindset approach. However outrageous it might seem.
Get a piece of paper now.
Write down an many of your dreams, goals, desires, outcomes as you wish. Let your ideas flow. Do not limit yourself or justify why your can't or shouldn't have something.
Keep it in your focus every day by reading it through several times.
Adding pictures or drawings have a big impact ... paints a thousand words.
Build a picture in your mind of having all your accomplishments. Imagine it exactly as you wish it to be.
Tap into it as often as you can for example by frequently talking to others about it, putting it on a tape in your car and listening on long journeys.
If you are consumed by a passion or purpose for accomplishing these things, that will drive your success.So ask yourself with each accomplishment you desire,- WHY have it? If your purpose is big enough, that will add to your motivation to sieze the opportunities when they do come, to take the action needed to create the reality.
So, what are you waiting for? Start creating this new life for a New Year now. Bring the power of your imagination, your thoughts to developing success in all areas of your life. And share that with the people you care about. Can you imagine a life like this?
Blessings for today 1. I know exactly where my son is - he's sitting right beside me doing his homework and sharing his thouhgts as he goes. I am grateful to have him here doing this.
2. Its the end of the day and I'm tired and I know I have a warm, safe and comfortable bed to go lie in. That will be bliss. I am one of the lucky ones.
3. For opportunities that come along for learning and earning and personal growth.
“I feel there are two people inside me – me and my intuition. If I go against her, she’ll screw me every time, and if I follow her, we’ll get along quite nicely.” Kim Basinger
Does this make sense to you that when you start getting in tune with your inner voice and allowing your intuition to grow, you start to find that you’re getting prompted by external factors as well? Odd how that happens. As you ruminate on a situation and ask yourself for intuitive guidance notice when circumstances around you resonate with you about the situation. Here’s what I mean.
Imagine now that you needed to find the solution to a difficulty and you settled yourself quietly and asked your inner self for an answer. Some times after a while the solution can simply pop into your head from your inner genius. And then, when you think you missed the answer, or to reinforce the answer you’ve come up with, something will happen in your environment that will show you the way. Has this ever happened to you?
It could simply be catching sight of a headline in a newspaper in passing, walking into a room at the very moment a TV presenter is addressing the very thing you are concerned about and giving some hints about where you might look or find answers, being called by a friend out of the blue with the very offer or suggestion that helps the situation. Whatever, it just seems to happen that the solution presents itself in some unexpected way. Loud and clear. Weird when that happens.
Ask you inner spirit for the solution or answer and wait for the genius within or without to manifest the right answer for you. Even if things don’t always seem to go right, trust yourself that ultimately, you will get the right outcome for you.
Can you see how you might be able to use this to develop prosperity in your life? What might you accomplish if you were able to gain insights through the power of your intuition? What rich, intelligent, prosperity ideas might flow? And the best time to let it flow is during periods of quiet and peacefulness when the mind is relaxed. The more you allow your intuitive power to grow, the greater your confidence in whatever you do in your life. During those times of quiet, let your imagination guide you in visualising the perfect outcome.
Furthermore, and especially if you think you’re getting stuck on your own, you can use also the creative energy of a group of people whether it is a mastermind group, a business or family group or simply a group of trusted friends to help you grow your intuition about what is the right thing to do or the answer to a problem.
Catherine Ponder from The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity says “Never underestimate your genius powers! They want to work for you to bring you greater happiness, success and confidence in your ability to receive guidance every step along life’s pathway. Why not let them? Declare often for this purpose; ‘I give thanks that my genius powers of intuition and creative imagination are now released, and that I happily fulfil my divine destiny.’”
To all our success. "Trust your hunches. They're usually based on facts filed away just below the conscious level." -Dr. Joyce Brothers.
Blessings for Today 1.I got the chance to do a speed reading mini course today. Its going to be great to advance my efficiency at reading with speed. I am grateful to the folks who organised this and lunch too.
2. My son is busy and studiously learning his french for his exam at the end of the week. He's in full flow and fine humour. Always great for me to see him focussed and fulfilled. He slipped in for a cuddle today and I am so grateful that he still feels he can do this. Keeps us both happy.
3.I'm blessed for all I have at my disposal through many sources, like Success University, for my own personal development and improvement

Consider this for a moment. What could you do or achieve if you are able to listen to and understand your own still small voice – the genius within? Here’s a clue. People the world over who have been considered geniuses have known the immense power of trusting and listening to their own inner voices or intuition and creative imaginations. The thing is, they haven't possessed any greater special powers than the rest of us. They have simply encouraged and actively used their intuitive powers.
"The only real valuable thing is intuition." -Albert Einstein.
Think about it. You know how it is when you develop a sixth sense or hunch about something, when something just niggles at you – it feels right or its just all wrong, and you feel you have to follow that hunch because it keeps pinging you. Has that ever happened to you? To some people, it may seem strange or eccentric but many others rely on it for their success, safety, or satisfaction in life, sometimes without even realising that’s what they are doing. Are they crazy?
They say women do it better. I tend to think its because we've needed a different kind of ‘strength’ to keep us and their families growing and thriving and safe. Perhaps men are too busy in their external worlds or perhaps we’ve been mind washed into thinking that this is so. But really, aren’t we all much too busy these days with not enough time to listen to the still small voice?
It all comes down to this. When your antennae are tuned in to picking up the right vibrations, your own genius power is released to start working for you. Have you ever followed where you intuition leads you? Acted despite what ‘reason’ and’ logic’ told you was the thing to do? Now, I’m not saying we should let reason fly out the door, just that when you are following your intuition you are often heeding things for which you have no logical explanation but rather having faith in your own inner prompting. Make no mistake, highly creative people allow this to inspire their creativity, but pretty much all of us have it and use it to some degree.
How, I hear you ask, can those of us less trusting of our intuition get a better grip of it? Quite simply, developing our internal geniuses is really best done when we can quieten our minds from the busyness of our thoughts, when we can relax and become receptive. But being busy doesn’t necessarily stop it either. It’s just that you need to really listen to yourself and how are you going to do it if you don’t turn down the volume on extraneous noises?
Are there other things we can do then to develop our intuitions? Here are some things as recommended by Catherine Ponder in The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity:
Your intuitive power is a spiritual part of you that wants to lead to your greater good. Have faith and confidence in it. Develop trust. “All that you see in the world about you came forth because of someone’s hunch or feeling that it could be done. You can use your ideas and inner feelings to create a more wonderful world.”
Let yourself accept as you go about your daily life that there is some Higher Intelligence acting in you and for you that wants to help and guide you. If you develop this attitude of mind, you will find you are attracting better experiences to you that allows you to accomplish what you want to. You can do this by affirming in your mind daily.
“Divine Intuition is now showing me the way, producing easily and quickly the perfect outcome.”
As you reprogramme your mind, you’re more likely to find that you get more insightful about the things you are interested in or thinking about. You open yourself to discovering hidden secrets and gems that come up from inside yourself.
Be prepared to be pleasantly amazed when you start to follow your little hunches and begin to see a happy and successful outcome. It is your desire for something good to happen that will manifest for you. “Desire is God tapping at the door of your mind, trying to give you greater good.”
If you're unsure about heeding that inner prompting, just keep asking your mind for direction and you may find that assurance comes simply by asking for it.
“Just what is the perfect truth of this situation? Make it clear to me now so that I cannot possibly mistake it.”
Have you ever found like I have that answers reveal themselves after a period of rest and relaxation – so after a nap or on waking in the morning, the answer just appears in your mind? It was there all along and you just needed that space, that break, to get some clarity on the situation. It’s amazing when that happens, isn't it?
Be prepared for the fact that solutions will come in ways we hadn’t originally thought. Quite simply, the problem or situation has been reconfigured in our minds and we can gain different perspectives on it. We can now choose to accept and act on only the good that will come from the situation.
Blessings for Today 1. I had a terrific time with the new support group. A great sharing experience and I'm very grateful to have linked up with people who are willing to support each other's success. Thanks guys.
2. I am blessed by what I have learnt today that will propel me forward in my business.
3. To my husband for his catering to our needs and his help in fixing things so the group could work, and to my son for his grand good humour and the many wonderful touches of the day.
I feel one of the richest people alive today. More than winning the jackpot. Much more. That pleasure is yet to come. Well, here's the story. Frankly, yesterday was an ordinary working day. The usual stuff. I must admit, apart from crashing at home, the one thing I was looking forward to, was getting there and finding out how my son's day had been.
It'd been a day off school, he was planning mega revision with his friend and there was talk of another friend's birthday party that he had some doubts about but that I was encouraging him to consider going to and I couldn't wait to hear how he'd got on.
Ever had a near death experience? Well, I have. Many times since childhood I cheated death. It just wasn't my time. I don't know how many lives I'm blessed with, but for what its worth, it all turned on a sixpence and yet I'm still here.
When my son told me how he'd nearly been killed today - nearly run over by a bus on his way out of the party restaurant - I felt like my life had been spared once more. This could have been a very different story today. Indeed, there might have been no more stories if the unimaginable had happened. And so today I have so much to be grateful for. And I want to shout it to the Universe. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
The bottom line is this, there is nothing more precious to me in the whole universe than the gift of life for my son and so I am today rich beyond what words can express for his affirmation of life. But I'll express what I can anyway.
My gratitude to the guardian angel who protected him, to the Universal Spirit that guarded him, to the friend who pushed him out of the way, to the bus driver who in a few seconds, was more careful at that moment than he otherwise might have been and to any unseen forces that in that moment spared my life too.
I asked my son what he'd learnt from the experience. He was extremely appreciative too and it gave him a treasured perspective on life in general. It reminded him about looking and listening out on the roads. He's usually pretty good and haven't we all for a split second, made a mistake. He tells me its made him want to write down the things he wants to achieve in his life, short and long term and that's great - we all would benefit from doing that. And its reminded him of the government road safety slogan aimed at young people - Don't Die Before You've Lived - Think!
And I think that applies to pretty much all of us. Don't die before you've lived. We're never too old to consider this. How will you live today? What must you accomplish before you die? And I am reminded of the old slogan:
Today is the First Day of the Rest of Your Life.
So how do you want to live it?
"Life becomes precious and more special to us when we look for the everyday miracles and get excited about the priviledges of simply being human." Tim Hansel
Blessings for today 1 I am grateful that my son is alive and well and that I am here to testify to this today.
2. Death and serious injury would have given me a very different day and a very different life from today and so I am grateful to all the entities that assisted in what I now have.
3. For the lessons learnt and the opportunity to reflect again on what's important and what we want to achieve in our lives.
Its possible to either have your skepticism confirmed or to get really excited at new possibilities for living if you've seen the film The Secret. After all, its a little absurd you'd think to believe in such a thing as the Law of Attraction that states that what you think about and believe, you can bring about in your life. It can't be that easy and nor would you want it to be otherwise we'd live in fear that every wicked or disturbing thought we had would somehow be manifested. How could we live with that?
Well, I figured I'd want to know more. Well, you would, wouldn't you. After all, there's a lot at stake here. What if ... you really could conceive of an idea, believe it could happen and then manage to achieve it? What is the human mind capable of that we cannot even begin to understand?
But, here's something interesting. This idea is as old as the hills. Yes, even long before Jesus was on the scene. It was there all along and crossing many cultures, and I never knew it existed until recently! How can that be?
Well, if there's one book you must read on the subject, its Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich. This guy was saying something in the 1930s that a few people cottoned onto and used for their enrichment. But where did he get his ideas from? I've been discovering that quite a few people since then have been sharing the same message that there is a power within and around us that if we use it right, cannot fail us in our endeavour to live more successful lives.
Has it ever happened to you that you were able to think about something and make it happen? What was going on? It sort of shakes you up, doesn't it? But here's the thing. It makes you want to try again to see what else might be possible. My own first experience of deliberate manifestation was shocking to me. I wanted my named called to receive a raffle prize and I 'worked' on it, and when it was I could hardly believe it. Here are some of the steps I took.
Finding a place to quietly mediatate and to check out if this was something I really wanted. Actually I was in a beautiful park with many people around me but still able to enter my own world in peace
Creating a mental picture of having the thing I desired and building that picture with all the most vivid images I could.
Being in the moment and using all my senses to enhance the feelings of my present state
Going through all the steps of achieving my desire right to the end where I knew I had got it and the accompanying feeling that went with having it
Declaring to 'the universe' my desire and then my thanks for the achievement of my desire
Is that it? I hear you ask. Mere coincidence! And that would be a reasonable reaction.
The point is, that from what I'd learnt from other people, from reading and watching, I decided to give the Law of Attraction a try. There are now many people world wide who are using this capacity, whatever its called, for healing, personal and comunity peace, enrichment of many kinds and many more, with great success. It could work for me too if I could create the right vibrations that would tap into the universal energy.
Stuff happens. Funny stuff. And we don't know why it works, but it still does. Why I don't know why I can hold a piece of plastic with a few bit of metal wires to my ears and be able to listen and talk to someone on the other side of the world. No, I really can't explain the science though I believe there is a scientific explanation. I can't explain the science of the Law of Attraction either but I believe quantum physics is working on it.
Believe it? I wouldn't try to persuade anyone but I'd say, find out more and see for yourself if you can create the life of your dreams in this manner. Intriguing, isn't it? I'd really recommend Catherine Ponder's book The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity and if you're not a religious person, to look at her biblical and spiritual references as simply another expression of a mighty energy outside ourselves which quantum physics is only beginning to unravel.
Blessing for today 1. I give thanks for what I now know about increasing proseprity in my life
2 I give thanks that the £35 in my purse is but a symbol of the inexhaustible substance of the universe and that 10 times this much is now on its way to me and quickly manifests in perfect ways (thanks Catherine).
3. I am grateful that my winter cold is passed and that perfect health is restored to me.
