Dad is famous for a lot of great quotes. Somehow, he has the “knack” for saying really big things in really simple ways that are easy to remember. One of my favorite quotes from Dad is this one:
“You are who you are and what you are because of what has gone into your mind. You can change who you are and what you are by changing what goes into your mind.” Zig Ziglar
In other words, what you put into your mind impacts everything you do! The chain of events works like this:
What goes into your mind determines your thoughts.
Your thoughts determine the words that you speak.
The words that you speak determine your actions.
Your actions determine your habits.
Your habits determine your character.
Your character determines your destiny.
I wish I had a really sophisticated reason as to why The Purity Diet worked for me. All I can say is I was fat for over 35 years and then I decided that I needed to focus on eating pure, unprocessed foods and not eating any artificial chemicals. My ability to stick to this idea was not because I have incredible will power or the pure food was easier and tastier, but because for six months before I even started the diet I was focused every day on putting the right things into my mind. Then, when the “idea” of the Purity Diet popped up in my mind, I started a quest to learn about all of the pure and best foods available and the benefits of them. I started talking about them to everyone and then I started making pure food choices. Before I even realized it, this became a habit and my taste buds even changed! Now eating pure is really a character quality I have, and I can tell you that my physical destiny has really changed since I have lost 80 pounds.
A new study shows that promiscuity in young girls goes up directly related to how much adult-themed, sexually-oriented TV they watch. Here is how the above principle plays out in the minds of young girls who put the wrong message into their heads. “Hmm, seems like all the cool and successful people are ‘fooling around.’ I think I will talk to my friend about it. Yeah, everybody is doing it, I think I will give it a try. I mean, why not, I will be careful…”
So, you see, the thought was inspired by what had gone into the mind and this led to words and then actions and so on. Of course, many argue that watching TV isn’t that big a deal and really doesn’t influence what people do. How much are Super Bowl ads again?
Dad boils all of this down into the Be, Do, and Have philosophy. You gotta Be before you can Do, and you gotta Do before you can Have. The Be part starts with what you put into your mind. Until you BEcome the right kind of person, DOing the right things consistently will be very difficult, and HAVING any type of consistent, long-term success will be nearly impossible.
Whatever you want to accomplish starts with what you put into your mind. Simple, I know. Might as well put the pure stuff in if you want to get pure stuff out.

What's Just as Important as Your Product?
By Suzanne Richardson
My hand was already reaching down to toss it in the trash... but, suddenly, I stopped.
I lifted the catalog back up... and examined the front cover again.
"Free Shipping - No Minimum Order."
Hmm, I thought. Maybe I'll just take another look inside and see what I can find.
I love free shipping. It can persuade me to buy something... even if I wasn't going to buy anything in the first place.
What sort of magic is at play here?
Sometimes your bonus is just as important as the product you're selling.
Take a look at any sales letter... or any infomercial... even some banner ads... and you're bound to find a bonus.
A bonus is the free special report you get when you sign up for a newsletter... the MP3 download you get when you buy a book... the 6-in-1 kitchen tool and set of precision steak knives you get when you order a Ginsu knife... or the free shipping you get when you order a Land's End fleece jacket.
Sometimes, as Bob pointed out, the bonus is that little extra push your customer needs in order to buy. A really good bonus shows her just how much value she is getting for her money.
In one example that Bob gave, a newsletter publisher compiled a "best of" collection of his most popular column. When he started offering the compilation as a bonus, subscription rates skyrocketed. Another newsletter publisher found that when he offered a reprint of his annual industry salary survey as a bonus for new subscribers, orders for new subscriptions increased 25 percent.
So the next time you come up with a sales offer, make sure you include a valuable bonus that can give your customer one more reason to buy.

What were your biggest disappointments in 2008?
Practically every company and individual resists analyzing their mistakes. That's a shame, because this is where the best learning comes from. I try and do this all of the time when working the Home Seller Assist program created by John Aexander and also known as We Provide The Cash.
No matter how well everything is going, we all make mistakes. The trick here is to examine what preceded them, what you could have done differently, and how you can prevent making the same mistakes in the future. Even though 2008 was the best year of my life (so far), I still had my share of disappointments, both personally and professionally. I won't bore you with the details.
As you did with your accomplishments in 2008, list your biggest disappointments - and then identify several takeaways for each one.

Link-Building Step #1: Link Research
The first step is to do a bit of research. What kinds of sites do you want to get links from? How do you go about finding them? There are several strategies, but one that will get you going in the right direction is to research your competitors' links.
Let's say you just launched a new site selling homebrew supplies. You would likely know that a popular competitive supply shop is NorthernBrewer.com. By finding the sites that link to the Northern Brewer website, you would instantly have a list of relevant sites that would potentially be willing to link to your site as well.
And you don't need any fancy software. Both Google and Yahoo provide ways to perform this link research right from their websites:
Link research on Google. To research the sites linking to your competitor, Northern Brewer, on Google, you would enter the following in Google's search box: http://www.northernbrewer.com.
Link research on Yahoo. To research the sites linking to your competitor, Northern Brewer, on Yahoo, you would go to a special section of Yahoo's site called Site Explorer (https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/) and enter Northern Brewer's URL in the field at the top. Make sure to click the "inlinks" tab to get the list you are looking for.
Now Google is a little stingy with their information. They will typically display only a portion of the links that they have in their database, which is why it's a good idea to use Yahoo's Site Explorer as well. In our example, you'd see that Google shows only 352 links for Northern Brewer while Yahoo shows 62,810.
Any way you slice it, that's a lot of links. Now the hard work starts. You have to go through all those sites and determine which ones you want to have link to your site. Why not just pick them all? Well, just because a site is linking to Northern Brewer doesn't mean they were asked to do it. Remember, any website can link to any other website for any reason at all... and without the site owner's knowledge. There can be some link farms and other dubious low-quality sites in the mix, and you definitely don't want to get links from them.

Make It Count!
By Debra Pearlman
I attended a book signing/networking event in New York City several weeks ago. It was hosted by The New York Enterprise Report at the Strata nightclub. With approximately 250 people in attendance, the rather large space felt cozy. For those of you who know me personally, you may be surprised to learn that I was feeling a bit shy that evening! Hey, it happens.
Anyway, there was a crazy lady there! The reason I say crazy is she was literally running around like crazy shoving her business cards at as many people as possible. She tried twice with me. I can tell you that I do not remember her name, what her business card looks like, or the business she was representing.
While you may think this is an extreme example, it is a true story and not the first time I have experienced this tactic.
The point for my telling you this is simple:
Don't make the same mistake. Make every day, every thing you say and do count.
Take a step back and review the inner workings of your organization as if you were a hired consultant. Look at your own calendar and the meetings you attend. Think about the conversations you have - what you say, how you say it, and your body language while you say it. Pay attention also to the body language of the person to whom you are speaking. Are your conversations value driven or sales pitchy?
Ask yourself and your sales staff...
• Is the daily activity of our sales efforts giving us profitable results?
• Have we developed our own best practices? Are we maintaining prospects, qualified leads, and contacts in a systematic, structured and organized manner?
• Am I conveying a consistent and enticing message throughout my marketing efforts? Including emails, conversations and voicemail messages?
• Is every step I take laser focused and leading me closer to my goal?
• Are we maintaining consistent follow-up with current and previous clients?
• Are we asking for referrals and testimonials - effectively?
Each of the above requires a well thought out and structured process. For example: Rather than simply asking for referrals, you may develop a few feedback questions to ask first. Before making that call, decide what you want the outcome to be. Or, instead of telling a prospect about the services you provide, you might develop questions to assist in determining their qualification as a client.
Don't focus on quantity of contacts until you are sure of the quality of your messaging.

Numbers Game
In the view of some loan-modification specialists, halting as many foreclosures as possible is the best way to address the slide in real estate prices, and collateral damage such as reduced property-tax rolls, underfunded schools and destroyed neighborhoods.
Rice, for instance, says when an investor loses a home to foreclosure it hurts two parties — the renter who gets evicted from it and the investor.
He suggests that lenders temporarily reduce installment amounts investor-owners pay. "A permanent change isn't deserved, but a three- to five-year plan would make sense to get payments down to a break-even level (with rents) while we get through this crisis," he said.
Sometimes, getting borrowers to come forward and seek a loan modification can be a problem because they don't want to admit they're in trouble, says Salvatore Buscemi, managing director of Dandrew Capital Partners, a distressed-real-estate investment fund in New York.
Treading Water
Buscemi buys defaulted paper and repossessed properties from lenders. He says he'll negotiate with any owner on a mortgage he holds — an investor or primary resident. But he says investors walk away more often than owner-occupants, as "it doesn't hurt them emotionally."
And now other investors can use the 1% funding provided by the Home Seller Assist program created by John Alexander to purchase these properties and flip them immediately.
Bedard, who has many investor clients, calls aid bias toward owner-occupants unfair. Many investors "just want to work it out to where they're not underwater," he said.
An investor might hold five or 50 homes, he says, so saving those can have more market impact than saving one primary residence.
Investor Jae Kim, with four Arizona homes, is working with Bedard's firm to seek aid. Four months into negotiating with his lenders, he still can't tell if his loans will be modified.
"I think every borrower should be treated the same," he said. "They've all put their hard-earned money in, whether it's for a retirement home, investment or primary home."

Sales Picking Up Tempo?
Here's a key question about the current market: Do you look at home prices to figure out where we are in the real estate recovery cycle, or do you focus on sales?
In an economy where an estimated 35 to 40 percent of all home transactions are foreclosures or short sales - distress situations in other words -- prices won't really guide you much beyond the conclusion that: We're still "correcting” the excesses of the boom years, still peeling back those wild and unsustainable hyperinflationary price run ups.
So it's no surprise that median prices are down, year to year, in a majority of large markets across the country.
Sales statistics, on the other hand, tell you how fast buyers are responding to those lower prices -- and greatly improved affordability.
Right now, in market after market, sales are picking up tempo -- especially in places where prices once spiraled out of control.
Third quarter sales of existing homes in the U.S. were up by 2.6 percent over second quarter 2008 levels, according to the National Association of Realtors' latest study.
That's not spectacular -- but let's face it: It's forward movement … and we're in a recession.
In the Western states, sales were up by 13.1 percent in the third quarter! In Florida, sales jumped by 5 percent from year earlier levels, while median selling prices were down by 20 percent.
In a majority of Florida's metropolitan markets, sales were up, year over year. For example, Orlando sales were 10 percent higher this October than the year before. Sales were up strongly as well in hard-hit Ft. Myers and much of the west coast of the state, and Fort Lauderdale, north of Miami.
Similar recent upturns in sales are occurring in many of the California markets where prices have plummeted during the past two years.
No question that a high proportion of these sales are distress situations.
But that's what the bottom of a real estate cycle looks like: Value-savvy buyers see the opportunities, move in and mop up the mess left over after the big party.
Happily, in this cycle, they're getting real help from the capital markets: Mortgage money is at historically-attractive low levels, and is readily available to anyone with a downpayment and reasonable credit.
Rates fell again last week to an average 6.16 percent for 30-year fixed loans, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association, and to 5.87 percent on average for 15 year loans.
If you can spot the opportunities -- and have the resources -- it's not a bad time to be a buyer.

Capitalize On "Seasonal Keywords" in the Pay-Per-Click Search Engines
At this time of year, there's a substantial increase in searches based on gift-related keywords, as shoppers look for presents for their loved ones.
For example...
Hobby-Related Key Phrases:
Golf gift idea
Fishing gift idea
Video game gift
Individual-Specific Key Phrases:
Christmas gift for Fisherman
Christmas gift for Plumber
Christmas gift for Student
So make sure you've set up a pay-per-click campaign to take advantage of these seasonal searches -- and you'll increase the number of holiday shoppers to your site almost IMMEDIATELY.
But don't just write your ads and call it a day!
To get the highest possible conversion rate from your PPC campaign, you need to continue the theme of the keywords you're bidding on in the salescopy.
So if someone comes to your website after searching with the keyphrase "Christmas Gift for Student," your copy on the landing page needs to explain why your product will make a good gift for a student.
If there isn't a direct connection between the copy in the ad, and the copy on the page, visitors can easily feel they've landed on the wrong page... and leave again.
One final word of warning: Avoid more general keywords and phrases, such as "Christmas Gift" or "Christmas Gift for Dad." These will be VERY expensive, and you won't get the kind of qualified traffic that you need.
For example...

How to Sell a Home on Your Own in Days
Would you like to sell a home fast without using a Realtor? How to sell a home fast online without using a Realtor. There are many ways.
1. Put your house on many web sites: zillow.com, (spend some money and highlight your home it is very cheap (craigslist.com (put it up every day), trulia.com, hoobly.com and any other sites that have free classifieds in your area.
Make sure you put your city and neighborhood name in all the descriptions since people are searching for this.
2. Make a video tour of your home and put in on YouTube.com and Google video. Walk around the house in your own words and tell people all the good things about the house.
3. Have an auction. You will need to advertise the sale for at least two weeks. It will require you to put up at least a 100 signs, since they will be taken down every night. You will get the blank signs from your local screen printing supply store. The should cost you about $0.80 and the stakes will cost about $0.70
It will get more traffic if it is an absolute sale. This means it will sell to the highest bidder, no matter what the bid is. The other kind is a reserve auction.
4. Build a web site for your home. It could be 123MainSt.com. Make sure you add this to all your marketing. It is $8.00 per year to register a name at godaddy.com. You get a free 5 page web site that is easy to build where you can add pictures, photos, and give all the information needed on the home. You could also promote open houses, and captures emails.
5. Plaster the neighborhood. This is one of my favorite methods. Get a generic blank door hanger and print out open house copy just for the neighborhood. "Pick your new Neighbor Open House" You are trying to show everyone your nice house and why they should tell their friends and family why this house would be great for them. Then walk the neighborhood and put up the door hangers.
6. If you have a neighborhood shopping center that dominates that neighborhood, print some inexpensive flyers and plaster the parking lot at least twice.'
7. Finally, as a last resort, go to google and type in "We buy Houses" and look at all the people on the left side. These are more likely to be local real estate investors who will pay cash and close in just days. One example of such a site is www.SellmyGreensborohomefast.com. A real estate investor company will typically buy at a substantial discount. (usually at least 30% in this crazy market) The good thing about selling to an investor is they pay cash and can close in just days. They also do not care if your house has problems like termites, water damage, mold, fire damage, or just plain outdated.
Bottom line is you can sell your home without a Realtor, but I would not advise it. Realtors know most of the qualified buyers and earn their money.

1. Put your house on many web sites: zillow.com, (spend some money and highlight your home it is very cheap (craigslist.com (put it up every day), trulia.com, hoobly.com and any other sites that have free classifieds in your area.
Make sure you put your city and neighborhood name in all the descriptions since people are searching for this.
2. Make a video tour of your home and put in on YouTube.com and Google video. Walk around the house in your own words and tell people all the good things about the house.
3. Have an auction. You will need to advertise the sale for at least two weeks. It will require you to put up at least a 100 signs, since they will be taken down every night. You will get the blank signs from your local screen printing supply store. The should cost you about $0.80 and the stakes will cost about $0.70
It will get more traffic if it is an absolute sale. This means it will sell to the highest bidder, no matter what the bid is. The other kind is a reserve auction.
4. Build a web site for your home. It could be 123MainSt.com. Make sure you add this to all your marketing. It is $8.00 per year to register a name at godaddy.com. You get a free 5 page web site that is easy to build where you can add pictures, photos, and give all the information needed on the home. You could also promote open houses, and captures emails.
5. Plaster the neighborhood. This is one of my favorite methods. Get a generic blank door hanger and print out open house copy just for the neighborhood. "Pick your new Neighbor Open House" You are trying to show everyone your nice house and why they should tell their friends and family why this house would be great for them. Then walk the neighborhood and put up the door hangers.
6. If you have a neighborhood shopping center that dominates that neighborhood, print some inexpensive flyers and plaster the parking lot at least twice.'
7. Finally, as a last resort, go to google and type in "We buy Houses" and look at all the people on the left side. These are more likely to be local real estate investors who will pay cash and close in just days. One example of such a site is www.SellmyGreensborohomefast.com. A real estate investor company will typically buy at a substantial discount. (usually at least 30% in this crazy market) The good thing about selling to an investor is they pay cash and can close in just days. They also do not care if your house has problems like termites, water damage, mold, fire damage, or just plain outdated.

Decluttering Your Home in Preparation For Selling
In order to sell your house in a buyer's market, you must make your house stand out from the rest. The first way to do this is to clean your house completely. A thorough clean includes decluttering. You can use this time to get rid of clutter that isn't adding anything to your life - other than something to move aside, shove away, or trip over. This will not only enable you to stage your home more efficiently, it will also lessen the stress of having "mess" to clear away before every home showing.
Take small steps to decluttering. Focus on getting a single area or container decluttered at a time. This could be a counter or a drawer. It doesn't matter as long as you start and do a thorough job on that one space.
Dump everything onto a cleared space and start going through it. One pile is for things that you use and want to keep. The other pile is for things that you don't use and don't need. Be ruthless! The orange juicer that you picked up while on a health kick isn't doing you any good if you use it only once a year. You are probably not going to use the 3-year-old packets of ketchup. While that extra set of measuring spoons will come in handy if your present set get stolen by a thieving baker, they aren't likely to be. Choose a set and let the other go.
After you declutter this small space, put stuff back in an orderly fashion. In some cases, like drawers, you may find that an organizer keeps your things easily separated and accessible.
Lather, rinse, repeat. Do this with all the areas you need to de-clutter. It's best to set up some kind of schedule or plan, so you have a clear idea of what you're doing and when it's time to stop. Decluttering is a thankless task and it's easier to do if you know that you only have one bookshelf to do.
It's not enough to throw stuff out/give stuff away. You need a strategy to deal with the stuff that is going to come in. "A place for everything and everything in its place" is not just an old cliche - it's good sense.
Papers, for instance, should have their own folder. You can purchase an inexpensive file cabinet or file folder to keep track of your important papers. Papers that need to be out for whatever reason should be stored in an In/Out box, which you can buy cheaply or make out of things you already have. ASAP those papers should be filed away, out of sight.
Books need to have their own storage system. Shelves are the usual method, but boxes and drawers can also be utilized to organize books and keep them from contributing to clutter.
Toys have a home in the toy box/basket/hamper. Children's games and activities can also find a home here or on specially designated shelves. Start training your children now to put things away after they are done playing with them. Conduct a family "sweep" every day, where you spend 10 minutes straightening things up and putting things away.
Keep a box for things-that-aren't-used-often-but-are-used-often-enough-to-keep. Store this box away and see if you really use those things that often. If you find that you haven't opened the box in a year, reconsider keeping them.
Look around your house and visualize it as you want to see it staged. Remove everything that interferes with that vision. It may be helpful for you to rent temporary storage so that the items that you do wish to keep can be safely stored away from the house. You could also use this to determine if you really miss these items or whether you'll be glad to have them back when you move.
As you gradually come closer to your goal, you will not only have staged your home as you want it, you will have removed unnecessary things from your life. This also helps you deal with the stress of selling your home and moving.

What If You Could…
Pay off the Visa and MasterCard credit card bills and wipe out your mortgage early?
Stop worrying about Wall Street, Uncle Sam and Social Security going broke?
Have the opportunity to help the less fortunate... maybe snag those occasional nice sports or theatre tickets... line up great schools for the kids or grandchildren?

5 techniques to get your mind back on track...
...whenever you find it wandering away from the task at hand:
* Check your emotions.
If I'm stewing about something unrelated to what I'm supposed to be working on, I remind myself that "emotions have no cash value." And I refocus.
* Let it go.
If I've done my part and the ball is now in someone else's court, I remind myself that there's nothing I can do about it at the moment. And I refocus.
* Take a breather.
To refresh my mind, I take a quick break. Even stopping to get a glass of juice helps me refocus my attention where it should be.
* Keep a notepad handy.
If the distracting thought that pops into my head could be useful - maybe an idea for a solution to a client's problem - I write myself a note and refocus. That way, I know I won't forget that idea. I'll get back to it later, AFTER I've finished what I'm doing.
* Reschedule.
When I'm tired my mind tends to wander even more. In that case, unless I am on a tight deadline, I reschedule what I'm working on.
It is far more productive to stay focused on the work you are doing WHILE you are doing it. Although studies suggest that 30 to 40 percent of the time most people don't really think about what they're doing, YOU can be different. It takes practice and willingness to discipline yourself to be "in the here and now." But it is worth it.
The only way to achieve success - no matter what you're trying to accomplish - is to take action.
So, if you are working the Home Seller Assist program created by John Alexander and also know as We Provide The Cash, keep the above in mind and explode your profits.

Loan Modifications Are a Mixed Benefit For Lenders
Looking for a solution to the mortgage crisis and the disaster that was caused by the subprime mortgage blowup, governmental agencies as well as lenders have discovered that loan modifications are perhaps offering the best possible solution for the bank as well as the consumer. For lenders, however, loan mods are a mixed benefit.
The guidelines set forth are fuzzy and even though there are few hard and fast requirements, by and large it is left up to the individual mortgage lender to define the scope of their programs. Training bank agents to deal with modifications is not easy since each case is entirely different, and the fact that the entire process is extremely time consuming lends to the headaches experiences by the mortgage industry.
On the other hand, the fact that instead of showing bad debts on their books the lender will have active and paying loans is good news, especially in light of recent FDIC investigations. Investors prefer to do business with banks not weighed down with bad debts and pending foreclosures, and thus it is in the best interest of any bank to work with consumers whenever possible to keep their records showing profits rather than loan failures.
The problems arise when consumers seek to negotiate loan modifications on their own. Not knowing the ins and outs of loan negotiations and not truly understanding the process, they often slow down the entire procedure unnecessarily. In addition, at times there has not been any financial counseling and a modification that is negotiated today might fall flat and become ineffectual within a few short months, in which case the homeowner is once again in the same situation but no longer eligible to modify their loan.
Usually lenders find that negotiating with a professional negotiator makes the process easier, streamlines business, and of course sets up the majority of consumers for the best possible loans, since most professionals are open and up front about the feasibility of the modification the borrower is about to undergo.
Upsetting the industry and the entire process are those negotiators who operate fly by night enterprises and fail to understand RESPA, TILA, or the banking regulations that govern the modifications of existing home loans. Consumers are urged to be careful and exercise due diligence when interviewing potential loan to act on their behalves. You can find out more about loan modifications on the site that we recommend: loan-modification411.com.

Lease-purchase options.
Lease-purchase options are ideal ways to help you overcome any current credit blemishes or the lack of a down payment and still own a home.
When you and the seller agree to a lease-purchase option, you agree to pay the seller what is essentially rent for a specific period of time, typically one to three years.
At the end of that time, you can choose to move on or you can purchase the house.
In the event that you want to purchase the house, the seller credits you with a designated portion of the rent you’ve paid (i.e. if you paid $1,000 a month in rent, the seller might credit you with $700 per month toward a down-payment on the home) and you apply for traditional financing to purchase the home.
Lease-purchase options can help you take advantage of the fantastic deals you’ll find in the current economic climate. Lenders are reluctant to consider traditional financing for anyone without perfect credit right now, and coming up with a down-payment can be difficult.
If you agree to a lease-purchase option, you have one to three years to clean up your credit, save money for a down-payment and even have a portion of your rent count as a down-payment.
And if you decide you don’t want the house or aren’t yet in a position to buy, you can negotiate with the owner to extend the lease-purchase agreement or find a different home.
This gives you a chance to lock-in a purchase price right now, with the amazing deals that you won’t find anymore as the housing market rebounds and we enter another housing boom.

Multi-channel marketing
If you're unfamiliar with the term, multi-channel marketing refers to marketing with as many different types of media (or channels) as possible. These channels include (but aren't limited to):
Search engine optimization
Direct mail
Direct e-mail
Teleseminars
Event marketing
Print advertising
Social media
Direct-response television
Joint ventures
Public relations
Telemarketing
Radio
The more channels you use to reach your target customer, the better your chance of reaching him right when he's ready to buy. Plus, using multiple channels allows you to reach customers who might not be right in your line of sight. Customers who don't use the Internet might listen to the radio. TV watchers might not read magazines. And so on. Multi-channel marketing is the absolute best way to get your message seen and heard by as many people as possible, as often as possible.
The best part about multi-channel marketing is that anyone can become an expert in how it works. Whether you're an entrepreneur with your own start-up business... or a brand-new employee working her way up the rungs of the corporate ladder... or the CEO of a Fortune 500 company... you can use multi-channel marketing to help the business grow and prosper.
This new trend in advertising - multi-channel marketing - is a trend that will continue to grow at double-digit rates for decades and decades to come. If you embrace multi-channel marketing, you will see improvements in your business almost immediately. And those improvements will continue at lightning speed, transforming your business into something much greater than it is now. How big and how fast it grows is up to you.
The trend is huge. The time is right. Your future is unlimited. Use the some of the
above in marketing the Home Seller Assist program and watch your profits grow!

Nouns vs Verbs - Something Joe The Plumber Should Know
At a seminar that I attended I came across this quote:
"We are for the most part nouns living in a world screaming for verbs."
I thought this statement was quite profound.As I look to most situations
in my life I see this statement as abundantly true.
It reminds me of a friend who was once a part of the main stream corporate
world as a sales rep and once he got used to that change from school to the
job world he realized that it wasn't something that he was all that excited
to be a part of. In fact, I remember that after about 6 months on the job he
got up to take a shower and all he could thank was this was the exact same
routine that he had followed to a tee every day for the last six months.
This shook him to the core when he thought about the future. Was this routine
all he had to look forward to for the rest of his life? Furthere, on his job
they were even graded on a monthly basis how well they did exactly what they
were "taught" to do - down to the very last word.(Can you say automaton?)
He thought the corporate world wanted him because he was bright, young, and
energetic, but all they wanted was another cog in the wheel - a noun.
Well, he wasn't having any of that! (And I suspect you have the same desire
or else you wouldn't be reading this email.)
My first encounter with network marketing was really not to much different
then his corporate life. I was given a task and a script to follow and I was
instructed to head out and do it to a tee. The goal was finan'cial freedom,
but in essence the work was no different than his corporate experience - this
didn't fit me.
Then came the Home Seller Assist program. I created my own plan, my own template
for what I needed, and then found the right way to put that plan into action.
In fact I don't think I followed the status quo at all or even asked my upline
one question about how I should promote my business. I simply did what I thought
was best. I took action. In fact, I was action - the verb. And it was from this
action that success began to flow. I'm not saying following the status quo is wrong.
The truth is most people out there do what they are told to do, "the job mentality",
and live a very decent life for doing it. All I'm saying is if you want to live the
life you dream of you MUST take independent action. Do it your way and don't give
up until you get there.
Now it the time to become a verb, go immediately to http://www.fastbuyerloans.com
and start to make the change now!

Advertising for the Other Guy?
"What are you doing for lunch today?" I asked a friend.
"Hmm... I definitely want a sub. I've had this sub song stuck in my head all morning. You know, the one that goes: '5... 5 dollar... 5 dollar foot-long.'"
"Oh," I said "The Subway song."
"Is that what it's for? I didn't remember that it was for Subway, just the song. I can't get it out of my head. And it's making me crave a sub sandwich."
My friend is always thinking like a marketer. After a second's reflection, she commented: "That's not very good marketing, actually. They did a good job coming up with a catchy tune and lyrics - but they didn't clearly connect that to their particular brand. It's like they're advertising for subs in general, not Subway."
No matter what product you're marketing, keep this in mind. Make sure you market for the brand and not just the product.
For example, a great commercial pointing out the benefits of a trampoline exercise would boost all trampoline sales. But if you own Joe's Trampolines and you're paying for that commercial, you want to stress that only Joe's Trampolines have the highest-grade elastic material, with the right amount of buoyancy to give you the optimum workout.
When you market your product, you want people to think of you... not someone else!

"Oh," I said "The Subway song."
"Is that what it's for? I didn't remember that it was for Subway, just the song. I can't get it out of my head. And it's making me crave a sub sandwich."
My friend is always thinking like a marketer. After a second's reflection, she commented: "That's not very good marketing, actually. They did a good job coming up with a catchy tune and lyrics - but they didn't clearly connect that to their particular brand. It's like they're advertising for subs in general, not Subway."
No matter what product you're marketing, keep this in mind. Make sure you market for the brand and not just the product.
For example, a great commercial pointing out the benefits of a trampoline exercise would boost all trampoline sales. But if you own Joe's Trampolines and you're paying for that commercial, you want to stress that only Joe's Trampolines have the highest-grade elastic material, with the right amount of buoyancy to give you the optimum workout.
When you market your product, you want people to think of you... not someone else!

A new marketing tool?
Using your cellphone just to talk to people? Well, you're in the minority. According to a Nielsen report, text messaging has become the primary function of cellphones. The average mobile user receives 350 texts per month, versus 200 voice calls.
The report cites teenagers as the main drivers of this trend. The typical teen receives an average of 1,700 texts a month! But businesspeople are also avid texters. They've taken advantage of the widespread availability of the QWERTY keyboard (similar to your computer's keyboard) on cellphones, which makes texting quick and easy.

Homebuilders Flooded with Inventory
Charleston, S.C.: “New home permits are down… More and more homes are remaining
empty and homebuilders are holding on to more inventory than ever. “Its really hard
right now, it’s probably the toughest time in the history of this industry,” said
Frank Finlaw, Charleston Division President for Beazer Homes… But Phillip Ford, VP,
Trident Homebuilders Association, says panic and rumors are making the situation
worse: “I just refinanced my house, my in laws just bought a new house. There are
mortgage options out there you just have to look for them. There are opportunities
out there, it’s not dried up.”
We have now introduced our newest program that provides you with Private Funds
to use for Flipping Short Sale Transactions. Line up a prequalified buyer
and our Investor can provide the Proof of Funds and the Cash to buy the
short sale from the Bank.
Cost of Funds is 1% plus $300 flat fee all paid from your profits at closing.
Buy a home worth $200,000 in a short sale for $100,000 and resale for $150,000.
You keep $50,000 minus 1% (1,000+$300 flat fee).

Bailout
With all of the turmoil in the financial industry, one word that keeps making the rounds is "bailout." So here's what you need to know.
A bailout is when the government extends a loan (or takes over) a private company because it is deemed "too large to fail." Bailouts are nothing new, although they never happened in the U.S. to the extent that we've been seeing recently.
One of the most famous bailouts was that of Chrysler Corporation back in 1979. They were on the verge of bankruptcy. But instead of letting a huge job provider fail, the government extended a $1.5 billion loan. (They also bought a bunch of Chrysler's Jeeps for military use.) This helped Chrysler get back on its feet.
AIG, the country's largest insurer, recently received an estimated $85 billion bailout. And the bailout engineered for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac could cost over $200 billion.
If you own stock in a company being bailed out by the government, your shares will be worth next to nothing. Selling is usually your best option. But hold your bonds. Bondholders make out like bandits, since the bailout usually ensures that their interest payments are made on time.

California Most Expensive RE Market
The Coldwell Banker Home Price Comparison Index found the nation's most affordable real estate market to be Sioux City, Iowa, while the San Diego neighborhood of La Jolla, Calif., is the most expensive.
The index looks at the cost of similar 2,200 square foot, four bedroom, two-and-one-half bathroom homes in 315 U.S. markets. However, due to a lack of comparable properties, the borough of Manhattan in New York City is not included in the study.
In fact of the 10 most expensive markets, eight are in California; the two that weren't are Greenwich, Conn., ranked second, and Boston, ranked ninth.
All told, 13 markets had an average sales price above $1 million, with Wellesley, Mass., being the third one outside of California.
Not all of California is high-end. Bakersfield is the most affordable city, with an average sales price of $273,457.

Buying Without Examining the Facts
Any successful investment starts with a good buy. Making a good buy in real estate requires a great deal of valuation analysis.
The following story about two of my friends illustrates the dangers of relying too heavily on your emotions and not enough on objective information that could be staring you in the face.
"John" and "Joan" fell in love with a beautiful Victorian home the moment they stepped inside. Although the house was in bad shape, it had leaded-glass windows, carved woodwork, built-in hutches, and hardwood floors. They bought it, cleaned it up, and made it sparkle.
"We loved the house even though it was in a questionable neighborhood. As a result, we violated the number one principle of real estate: Location, location, location. To make a long story short, the beautiful house we loved could be rented only to less than desirable tenants, because the type of tenants we'd hoped to attract didn't want to live in that neighborhood."
Although John and Joan eventually sold the house for a small profit, they would have been better off had they examined the facts and made a decision to buy a different home in a much better neighborhood.
Keep in mind that though real estate is local, major national and international events and trends can help the worst of markets... and damage the very best. So be sure to analyze a real estate investment's national and local factors. Still, one very positive local factor can outweigh multiple national factors.
Start by researching location and market timing, then research them again. Get the picture for the area before you narrow your search to specific properties. Once you've decided that timing and location are right, then look at individual homes.

The Ideal Vehicle For Getting Wealthy In The 21st Century?
Today you have a rare and exciting opportunity to take advantage
of one of the largest industries on earth. And it is - most experts
agree - the one that has the greatest growth potential.
I am referring to the home seller assist industry.
Now don't be intimidated by that phrase. You won't need an education
in real estate or financing.
And, with the implosion of the big banks, it is catching on like
wild fire.
Because of that low cost-of-entry and growth potential, it is the ideal
vehicle for getting wealthy in the 21st century. Taking advantage of these
forces is the best and easiest way to achieve fast success and acquire great wealth.
We normally have a live webcast on Tues and Wed evenings at www.fastbuyerloans.com,
but with the hurricane that hit the Houston area, the webcasts may not be
presented this week. But don't despair, the last one was recorded and is
online for you to view now at www.buyerloans.com
View it now and then feel free to call me at 847-872-4047, if you have
any questions. As one of the top three leaders, I am here to help you and
provide you with all the things I have done to bring me over $21,000 since
mid-June.
Hope you will make the decision to get off of the fence and take part in
this business. And the good thing about it is you don't have to talk to people
if you don't want to. You just merely send them to a site like www.fastbuyerloans.com
and that is it. Then you just sit back and get paid when people like you join!
If you join now, I will see you at the live training under the username "wallmann".
See you there.

Being a Business Builder
For me, hard work boils down to one of two things:
Doing something that bores me.
Doing something I don't care about.
One of the best things about owning your own business is that you can make it into anything you want. That means you're doing something that interests you at every stage of its development. And since you have control over your company's future direction, you can't help but care about it.
How do you keep your work interesting?
The answer, for me, is simple: What is new and challenging is always interesting. It's the old, routine work that is dull and boring.
I don't think I'm unusual in that respect. I think almost everybody feels the same way. Yes, routines are comfortable and relaxing. But it's the new and challenging work that makes life exciting and fun.
By changing your role as your business grows - from primarily employee to primarily manager, and then to primarily business builder and wealth builder - you fill your business life with interesting challenges. At every stage of your company's growth, you have to overcome new obstacles. To do so, you have to learn new skills... and work hard.
You may feel, as I did years ago, that you don't want to work harder; you want to work easier. That's good. Because that's exactly what's going to happen.
In fact, looking back at my career, I see a pattern of starting work and then trying to make it easy. I get an idea. It seems very exciting. I work with someone to help me launch the business. And from then on, I'm trying to get other people to take over my work so I can do something new... and, therefore, more interesting.
With this in mind, We Provide The Cash, suggest you visit the Home Seller Assist site created by John Alexander and explore this opportunity that exists today.
This niche is only getting hotter as FHA tightens up guidelines and you have the chance to make $500 - $3000 for each loan applicant you send to our site!

Time Mastery
Time is truly our most precious resource. The famous writer, Jean-Louis Servan-Schreiber, wrote, "Unlike other resources, time cannot be bought or sold, borrowed or stolen, stocked up or saved, manufactured, reproduced, or modified. All we can do is make use of it. And whether we use it or not, it nevertheless slips away." It truly is how we use it to our advantage that makes the difference. How effectively are you using the time you are given? Are you performing the high payoff activities in your day?
Many people may be asking, "What are the high payoff activities in real estate?" These are the activities that pay you exceedingly well per hour. They also happen to be the activities that only you can do. Your assistants will never be as good as you in all these activities. Because of your skill and ability, you're the one who has to do them. If your staff were as skilled as you … they would not be working for you. They would be Agents on their own.
In real estate there are about a half dozen things that are high payoff activities. They are lead follow-up, prospecting, listing appointments, showing property, and writing and negotiating contracts. How much of your day is spent in these activities? The truth is no one will do these activities better than you. If you have staff, once they get markedly better than you in these activities, they will often leave you and go on their own. The highest pay per hour is contained in those half dozen things. Low payoff items have a tendency to push out the high payoff activities.
They try to fake us out that they are important. Have you ever had a day where you left the office and felt like nothing got done? You just spent the day in low payoff activities. The low payoff day is like being in the twilight zone all day. You were present in body, but nothing got done.
To ensure you do high payoff activities daily, block them into your schedule. Create a specific time slot for prospecting daily. Make a time for lead follow-up daily. Schedule them both in and be militant with keeping other low payoff activities out of those slots. Turn your cell phone and pager off during those time slots, and then you can focus with intensity on prospecting and lead follow-up. If you just spend one hour a day prospecting and a half an hour to one hour doing lead follow-up daily, that will solve any production problems you have in your business, and you will gain quality time with your family. Find those times and block them in today.
The next step to time mastery is learning to do first things first. Too often, we spend time on the wrong tasks. Before you leave for the day, make a list of tasks that you need to do. To be highly effective, we must set up tomorrow before it comes. You will save ten minutes of execution for every one minute of planning you do. Then take the list and prioritize from most important to least important. I will give you a hint … the hardest thing that needs to be done is most important. When you walk in the office in the morning, start with #1. Work on #1 until you have it completely done. Then you can move on to #2. We often lack the vision to prioritize. We work on ten things at once, never completing anything. This causes frustration and low work output. Focus on the most important task. Focus always comes before success.
It is very easy to get distracted by clients, prospects, or other Agents. You must win the game of distraction. We all have distractions daily. It's what we do with the distractions that come our way that matters. The difference between a time waster and a time master is the length of time it takes for that person to get back on track. For a time waster, it could be hours, or even days, to get back on track. For a time master, it will be minutes before he is back on track.
People who control time earn more money. Time was designed to serve us … not be served by us. Many people feel that time is money. Israel Davidson said it well when he was quoted, "Time is infinitely more precious than money, and there is nothing in common between them.
You cannot accumulate time; you cannot borrow time; you can never tell how much time you have left in the Book of Life. Time is life … ." Use it well.
And one way to use it, is to watch the live presentations at www.fastsellerloans.com, it could also be very profitable for you.....

You Can Go Straight to Voicemail
One result of having an Internet business is that you end up dealing with people all over the world. And that means trying to remember what time zone they're in... or risk waking them up in the middle of their night when you call during your regular work hours. Now there's a way to bypass ringing their phone. Slydial allows you to go straight to someone's voicemail. This is also helpful if you need to leave a message for someone who, for one reason or another, can't receive calls at that time.
The service is free... if, that is, you don't mind listening to a short recorded advertisement first. If you'd rather not, it's 15 cents per call. (Or you can subscribe to the service.) Simply dial 267-Slydial, and you will be prompted to enter the number you're calling.
This feature is available for some cellphone users, but only within their own network.

The Three Magic Words to Building Wealth Online
What are the three most important words for rapidly building enormous wealth online?
Quick, cheap, & easy! Our new Home Seller Assist program has them all.
You see, the problem with most Internet advice out there is it's designed for people with big (multi-million dollar) advertising budgets, lots of administrative, legal, and accounting support and an existing marketing base. The Home Seller Assist program created by John Alexander is nothing like that at all.
But if your company is smaller than $1 million and/or if you don't have an Internet business yet, then you need something different... something that lets you start off small.
Let John show you how you could get a similar Internet income stream running for almost nothing.
And if you need a loan to buy a house with no bank qualifying, visit www.webuyfastnow.com and send in a quick application today.

How to Make Money Even When You Make a Mistake
If you have a fixed-rate amortizing loan on a cash-flow property, you'll eventually own the property free and clear, regardless of price fluctuations in between. Buy a $1 million property with $200,000 down and you'll eventually pick up $800,000 just from using the rents to pay off the debt.
In the meantime, you'll also pocket net rents (the money left over after paying operating costs, the mortgage, and leaving a little something for reserves). So in a very bad case scenario - where the market goes nowhere for the next 20 years - you could end up making over a million dollars from a $200,000 investment. And, of course, if the market soon bottoms and improves, you could end up making a million or even millions much sooner.
So in a bear market, focus on buying cash-flow properties at below market value in areas that you believe are promising and where you are confident you can put in good management. At the same time, for added bear market protection, buy near or below replacement cost whenever possible.
Tune into the live presentation each Tues and Wed of the Home Seller Assist program hosted by John Alexander at www.fastsellerloans.com, all times are central.

How does a weak dollar affect housing and stock prices?
I can understand the prices of oil, precious metals, food, etc. going up when the dollar is devalued - but how does that reconcile with housing and stock prices going down?
A devalued dollar doesn't really have a strong relationship with the housing or stock markets. Granted, a weaker dollar should make any American assets more attractive to foreigners. But there isn't a huge, parallel relationship such as the one the dollar shares with oil.
So why are our stock and housing markets crashing? Because banks issued way too much credit to people who never should've gotten it. Now those loans are being defaulted on, and banks across the nation are losing tens of billions.
Since the big banks are in trouble, they have slowed their lending. And if people can't borrow money easily, a lot of them won't buy a house, a car, or even a washing machine. This reduced spending eventually hits the profits of major corporations, and the downturn continues.
In the end, the housing and stock market crash had little to do with a falling dollar and more to do with too much credit. Until that build up finishes unwinding, you'll continue to see bank stocks drop in value.
