After movie night with my oldest son I set down to work for a few hours. But a question lingered... was Agent Smith right? Are humans just big hairy viruses? Are we stuck waiting for "The One" or is he/she already there if we know where to look? I know what I believe... take a listen and maybe you'll agree. Whether you do or don't, I want to hear from YOU! Leave a comment here or on my YouTube page...

This idea cannot be understood deeply enough. "Don't aim at success-the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side effect of one's dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it. I want you to listen to what your conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge. ...

I read this article in Spirit Magazine (Southwest Airlines' inflight mag) on a flight from Las Vegas to Portland and made a note to watch the 10 videos it refers to once I got where I was going (which apropos of nothing was Eugene, not Portland). I almost tore out the page but decided that to deprive the next passenger of the same list would be against the spirit of the article (ha ha... pun). Anyway, it was an article about the TED Conference held annually, usually somewhere in California, which if you don't know is basically a really cool event where intelligent and progressive people get together and share ideas. The article included the following list of the 10 most ...

...But aren't small things often the biggest things? Gmail recently released a new feature that lets you star and label outgoing emails as you send them. So they automatically show up in your filters where you want them. For me this makes remembering to follow up on important emails way easier... without having to put a note in a calendar or CRM record. But there are hundreds of other ways this is awesome. Let me know in comments what this feature means for you! Here's the link to gmail's blog. http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2012/03/star-and-label-messages-before-you-send.html Enjoy :)

Driving home from dropping the kids off at school this morning I was blinded by insight. Or rather the sun... but still I felt like sharing. Enjoy!

I just recently returned from a wealth conference in Maui. It was a phenomenal event, hosted by a company called Wealth Masters International, where I met some of the top economic minds in the world and got a ton of great information on a variety of matters from the economy to geopolitics to medical breakthroughs to entrepreneurship. Kind of like going to a TED Conference only specifically focused on personal and financial growth. But as great as the event was, perhaps the most powerful thing I did while in Maui was listen to the audio book of The Last Lecture, by Randy Pausch. If you haven't read (or listened to) it it's just something you need to do. Anyway, ...

This post is actually an excerpt from an email I sent out recently to members of TopTierIncome.com as well as anyone else who has been on my Internet marketing team in the last 3 years. It contains some comments that will agitate many people, especially a small but powerful cluster of folks out there who have a strong vested interest in not disrupting the status quo around the online home business industry. For my part here's my commitment... I will approve ANY non-spam comment that is left on this post. If I've said something in error PLEASE let the world know it (just don't attach your affiliate link within the comment or it will be auto-flagged as spam). It has been ...

For anyone who has been affected by the latest drama between me and certain powers-that-be on the internet... I felt I had to share this email that Michael Force sent out to his team (which now includes whatever portion of my team decides to stay in PRO since they kicked me out) along with the response I wrote and decided to post here rather than send. First let me say there are no sour grapes here. I am having, as John Jackson would say, the "best day of my life" just about every day this past week. Anyone who's been on any of my webinars for my new system, www.toptierincome.com, know that I am in a great place... ...

A video that describes what the title says. Wasn't expecting to come out or parenting class a better marketer, but as is common... wisdom has multiple applications. Enjoy!

It Happened Like This... 2 days a week I host an "Applicant Overview" webinar on behalf of myself and anyone else on my marketing team who has applicants looking at joining our business. It's a little early in the morning right now for me to delve into the details of funnels, filters, and follow up (the "3 F's" of an Internet marketing business) so let's just say that the Applicant Overview webinar is when people who have passed the first filter get to spend some time in a live environment with me and really see not just what we do but how we do it. So on one of my recent Applicant Overview webinars I had a guy who was peppering me with ...
