Question…
How’s your dream machine?
Is it fully engaged?
Running smoothly — optimum performance?
Or…
Is it sputtering, nearly or completely out of gas?
Have you forgotten what it’s like to “DREAM BIG?”
Have you forgotten how to dream at all?
The sad fact is, by the time most people reach adulthood, they’ve forgotten how to dream.
The passion, excitement and enthusiasm that once fueled their imagination has long been extinguished.
Past mistakes, failures, missteps — all haunt the average adult.
But, the truth is… until and unless you learn to dream big again, your life will be average.
You’ll simply get along by going along.
You’ll wake up dreading each day.
And that’s no fun!
We’re going to change that — this weekend.
Here’s what I’d like you to do:
1) Set aside the problems of “life as it is.”
2) Set aside the failures from your past.
3) Forget for a moment what you “thought” life was going to be like.
4) And open your mind to new possibilities.
5) Get out an empty notebook and start writing about life as you want it.
What does it look like? Including the money — but not only the money.
Write about your lifestyle — how you want things to be from now on.
Crank up that dream machine…
Where do you want to go?
What do you want to accomplish?
What do you want to buy?
Where do you want to live?
Who do you want in your life?
>>> Here’s a key:
Write it as if it already IS!
Write it in the present tense — using:
“I am…
“I own…
“I have…
Let the dreams grow. Let the hope well up inside you.
It’s time to start dreaming again.

I love to hear from you…
Have a safe and prosperous weekend. I’ll see a new and better you on the other side.
Warmly,

Let’s face it…
A lot of people are struggling right now. People who normally have reasonably stable businesses are dropping like flies.
It’s happening in the ONLINE community as well as OFFLINE.
You may be one of them. If you are, there’s hope!
More on that soon…
If you’re not — take notice! Things will get tougher before they get easier.
You can believe that…
But, it doesn’t mean you should run off and hide in a cave — waiting until the coast is clear before you emerge to resume your business.
Not at all!
There are actually some positive, proactive steps you can take to “Recession Proof” your business. In fact, not only can you survive in this market climate … you can actually prosper.
I’m going to teach you HOW over the next few days and weeks of blog posts.
For now, I want to give you a gift… the recording of a teleseminar I conducted on “How to Create a Business Breakthrough!”
Check it out — my gift:

You Will Learn My…
Also… be sure to add your comments here on the blog!
Talk soon,
I want to put together a contest… to help promote my new weekly Mr. Monetizer Radio Show, engage the listeners (this could be you), and grow my audience base.
FAST…
So as I was “brainstorming” <<<<<—- dangerous! — about different types of contests we could have.
And, the thought hit me….
“Why Not Have A CONTEST To Come Up With The CONTEST?”
Silly? Maybe…
Fun? I hope so!
So here’s the deal. Each week I host a 1-hour radio show called the Mr. Monetizer Show. We’re now in our sixth week of programming.
It’s been lots of fun — and a heck of a learning experience.
Every week, the listener numbers have increased. Plus, I’m getting feedback and inquirees EVERY WEEK — so it’s well worth my time.
(one more little hidden secret about the show that I’ll share in the near future)
Anyhow, I want to grow the listener numbers EVEN BIGGER — and EVEN FASTER!
Thus, this contest idea.
So, we’re having a “Contest Contest!”
A contest to come up with the contest to grow the listener base.
I want to get WAY outside the box. I want to go extremely viral — get people spreading the word faster than a Texas Tornado.
Have any ideas?
What would excite you enough to:
NOTE: I have a fresh, new guest on the show each week. Each of these guys and gals are experts/authors/etc. And, all of them have fairly good size email lists.
Each has agreed to promote the show THEY appear on — so that’s another asset we can leverage.
OK boys and girls … fire away! I’m ready for your ideas.
And — as far as the Contest Contest Prize goes ——- hmmmmm….
What should that be?
Tell you what, I’m going to come up with a big package of goodies for the person who comes up with the best idea for the new contest — I might even have some runner up prizes.
This blog post was a bit spur of the moment … I’ll post an update (ie: The PRIZES) in the next day or two.
But let’s get our juices flowing… fire at will. Post your comments below:
You should see this girl…
She’s only 10 years old. But, she’s launched her first profitable online business.
Something a lot of adults haven’t managed to do.
How?
By solving a frustrating problem for other online marketers.
What’s the problem?
In a nutshell…
The time and frustration it takes to post articles online to article directory websites. Articles used to drive traffic and generate leads.
So, she’s offering her services by posting articles FOR these marketers. (I fall into this category by the way… and became her first customer)
>>> BIG problem.
>>> Simple Solution.
>>> Brilliant little business.
At any age, this would make sense.
But, a 10-year-old… Amazing!
I’m proud of her.
Proud of her for taking action. And, proud of her because…
>>> She’s my daughter. <<<
Yup — confession… I’m the dad of a young internet mogul.
If you’re currently using article marketing to promote your website or would like to start, I encourage you to check into her services. (see below for her FREE OFFER!)
She calls it… ==>>> http://www.MyArticleGenie.com (nothing much on the website yet — so you’ll need to contact her through my online contact form. Helps us keep idiots from having direct access to her.)
Now here’s the offer:
She’s charging $1 per article posted (currently posting only to ezinearticles.com — the best place to post anyhow — avoiding duplication and a google penalty).
So, she’ll post 10 articles for you for $10. Nice and easy.
But… she’s also offering her first 5 customers a FREE TRIAL of her service. She’ll post your first 5 articles for FREE — so you can try out her service.
(She’s going to want a testimonial ya know!!!)
Remember, only the first 5 to respond get the 5 free articles posted.
If you’d like to use her services, contact her via my online web form at:
===>>> http://www.ReplyToJP.com
I’ll pass it along to her, and she’ll send you full details on how to get your articles and other info to her.
Look forward to finding out what you think!
I’d like to open a dialogue with you about PROBLEMS!
Here’s my question:
What do you believe are the TOP 5 Most Common Fundamental Problems, Challenges or Mistakes Entrepreneurs must overcome in order to grow their businesses?
In other words, what are the “barriers” most likely keeping you or other business owners from succeeding at maximum potential?
Answer that question in the comments section below. I’ll be back with additional comments over the next few days.
Interesting story…
A few months ago, we started using a greeting card service that allows you to send real, physical greeting cards from the internet. We originally enrolled just to use it in our existing business for customer follow-up and marketing.
But, we soon discovered that other people were interested in using the service too — personally and/or in their own businesses.
At the time, we didn’t give it a lot of thought. But, almost by accident several people signed up for the service.
Over the next few months, we received monthly checks from the service for the people we had referred. It wasn’t a lot of money … but it was nice to continue receiving checks even though we weren’t doing anything additional for them.
Then, late in January we gave the card service a closer look and realized that it actually had a lot of potential as a stand alone homebased business and additional income stream.
We began casually mentioning it to a few people — offering to give them an online demonstration of the service and giving them a chance to send a free card or two at our expense (just so they could see how it worked).
Surprise… people began signing up. Quickly!
In fact, over the last four weeks alone we’ve been able to generate the equivalent of what might be a full time monthly income for many people … with a total of around twenty hours of effort.
I’m confident that other families, entrepreneurs and marketers can realistically generate from a few hundred dollars a month up to most anything they want to create with it.
It’s also fun — you can create custom cards or choose from over 12,000 cards in the online catalog. And with the click of your mouse you can send a card to anyone for just .62 cents plus first class postage. The company prints them, stuffs them in envelopes, puts the stamps on, and mails them for you.
In fact, you can send all your holiday cards … from a few dozen to several hundred … in just a few minutes. And, NEVER lick an envelope or stamp ever again. From a marketer/entrepreneur’s perspective — it’s a dream come true… a way to totally automate your offline customer follow-ups.
Two things you can do if you want to know more about it:
1) One of our colleagues is holding an online webinar (web based seminar) this Sunday evening (2/24/08) to demonstrate the system live. You’re welcome to attend (link below).
and…
2) Either between now and the webinar, or even after it takes place this Sunday night (2/24/08), you’re welcome to contact me directly at my http://www.replytojp.com form or phone, and I’ll set you up with a free demo account and let you send a card or two to people you care about — no cost or obligation.
I think you’ll love this system, but I’ll give you the demonstration to let you decide for yourself.
OK…
1) If you want to attend the free webinar this Sunday night (2/24/08) click the following link, and enter your invitation number (see below):
===>>> Click here: http://greetingcardshow.com ===>>> Enter this invitation number: 12686 <<<————- required
2) If you would like me to set you up a free gift account so you can send a card or two for free and try it out, contact me at the email or phone number below.

This would certainly shift things a bit…

It’s your time now. Time to grow. Time to get everything you’ve ever wanted from your business.
But, you first need to identify what’s holding you back. And, get past it!
Here are 5 possible barriers to your business growth:
1. Lack of Strategy or The Wrong Strategy
It’s vital that you have the right growth strategy in place. That strategy includes your overriding plans, goals, sales targets, and long-term objectives.
Example: If you’re building a business to sell, you may have an entirely different strategy for growth than a business owner who’s planning to build for the long term and pass the company along to his heirs.
2. Lack of Action
Far too many entrepreneurs are, “Getting ready to get ready!” They never do anything. Never get off the launching pad.
Many different reasons keep business owners from taking action. They can include: Fear, lack of knowledge, perfectionism, and other “barriers.”
The end result is the same. The entrepreneur fails to get started, and therefore never reaches her goals.
Take action today. Do something. Move forward at least one step.
3. Lack of Scalability
If you build a business without scalable systems in place, you’ll ultimately hit a wall. Growth will stagnate. Sales will stall.
You’ll wonder why you can’t get any larger. Why your sales don’t continue to grow.
You need to create a business model that includes the proper systems in place that can grow with you. That way you can be just as effective at $1 Million in sales as you were at $100K. And, at $10 million as you were at $1 million.
4. Lack of a clearly defined market
Ask 100 entrepreneurs who their product is for and count how many times you get, “Everybody needs what I sell!” It’s sad but true.
Fact is, you can’t market to “everyone.” And shouldn’t for that matter.
It’s more than money. It’s the fact that your marketing message can’t possibly hit the hot buttons, wants, needs, desires or motives of EVERYONE.
5. Lack of follow-through
OK, I’ll admit it. My entrepreneurial mind jumps from one topic to another faster than bees between flowers.
Yours probably does too. We have to deal with that.
That means finding the discipline to “stick to it” and follow through on your goals, objectives, plans, strategies and tactics. In other words, “get it done!”
