Congress Playing Games?

Does this make you angry? It does me …

It’s not my usual business stuff — but you need to see it and read it!

(The following picture and text were forwarded to me by a friend)

It seems to me that if all we are doing is paying these congressmen and women a gigantic salary to sit in congressional session and play solitaire or whatever, it’s time to bring most of them back home by replacement.  Democrats, Republicans, Independents – it makes no difference.  The bills they’re passing by playing solitaire instead of voting for us are taking away our freedoms with ever key stroke.

Nothing else need to be said.  This is one of their “three day” WORK WEEK that we all pay for.  I am ready to start from the beginning by voting out all elected officials and not letting any of them stay in office for more than two terms.  No more lifelong healthcare, retirement, voting in their own pay raises, taking perks on our taxes, etc.

House Minority Leader Lawrence F. Cafero Jr., R-Norwalk, pictured standing, far  right, speaks while colleagues Rep.. Barbara Lambert,  D-Milford and Rep. Jack F. Hennessy, D-Bridgeport, play solitaire Monday night as the House convened to vote on a  new budget. (AP)

The guy sitting in the row in front of these two…  he’s on Facebook, and the guy behind Hennessy is checking out the baseball scores.

These are the folks that can’t get the budget out by Oct. 1,  Seriously!!!

So, we’ve got a 30 day budget extension. Well, guess what, 30 days from now they will still be playing SOLITAIRE and we will be in the same boat. I guess this makes it easy for the news ‘reporters’ who continue to recycle the same headlines from this week and from 2 years ago.

Cool Twitter Idea – Updating Customers

Even small businesses find Twitter useful. For example, Mary F. Jenn, of True Massage and Wellness in San Francisco, twitters when masseuses have same-day openings in their schedules and offers discounts. The spa is often fully booked within several hours.

You Gotta Believe It… If You Want It To Succeed!

I was shocked today… a woman with what I believe is a BIG, million dollar idea decided to “rethink” whether or not she really believes she wants to “continue” pursuing her dream.
It KILLED me… to hear her talk about it!
I actually found myself MORE excited and more convinced that it’s THE thing than she was.
Crazy…

(END of short rant!)

Shocking Video — Hidden Profit Lesson Inside…

Can you guess the Hidden Profit Lesson from this video?

I’ll share it below… after you watch the video.

So…

1) Watch the video

2) The Hidden Profit Lesson

OK… so what’s the BIG profit lesson hidden in this video?

There are actually several lessons — let’s give ‘em a whirl. (I also have a BIG warning for you at the end!)

First, they’re using video. Which… right now is about as HUGE as it gets on the internet.
Studies PROVE that sites with video are TOTALLY outselling those without. You’ll see me, Mr. Monetizer, starting to use even MORE video over the next few weeks.
How powerful is it?
Well… one of my buddies, Michael Cheney sold over a 1/2 million dollars with a “video only” sales page recently… that’s BIG my friends.
Second, they’re incorporating people’s names in it. And, that’s just massive in marketing.
If you’re unfamiliar with the promotion masterminded by the late (and legendary) Gary Halbert with his “Coat of Arms” promotion — you owe it to yourself to get over to TheGaryHalbertLetter.com and dig it up.
Look, people LOVE to hear and see their OWN NAME! So, any time you can use that in a promotion … yyou’ll create bigger winners.
Next, they’re using a viral tool to let other people share the video. Are they the first to do this? NOPE! Will it help them expand and grow quickly? Darn tootin’ it will!!!
How can you use that same concept?
There are a couple of other lessons in this video promotion that are just massive — can you identify them? Hmmmmmmmmm?
If so — post your comments here on the blog!
(and if you just want to encourage me in my run for President of the United States … well those comments are welcome too! ;) )
Finally, my BIG WARNING…
Before you run out and try to “adopt, borrow or steal” any of these tactics (you realize they are tactics, right?) make sure it fits your overriding strategy for growing your business — make sure it compliments the other things you’re doing.
And, if you DO NOT have a solid overriding strategy for growing your business … in other words if you don’t know what to do NEXT to get your business to the next level… to FULLY maximize and monetize what you have at your finger tips, then…….. GET ONE!
I’ll help get you started — with a FREE, no strings attached “Mr. Monetizer Private Strategy Session!”
It’s just YOU and ME on the phone for roughly 55-minutes ripping into your business to uncover the hidden profit centers and opportunities for growth and monetization.
Your life and business will NEVER be the same again…

Do it NOW… I just checked and there are ONLY 3 more spots remaining next week — so grab your session quickly.

6 “maybes” and 1 “sure thing…̶

First, the 6 maybes…

1. Maybe you’re a business owner. You’ve got a thriving business, but you’re looking for new ways to make it grow. You want to take your business to the next level.

2. Maybe you’re an idea guy (or gal). You’ve got scores of great business ideas, but lack the resources to fund them.

3. Maybe you’ve got a special talent … like copywriting or programming or graphic design … and all you need is a project where you can put your expertise to use.

4. Maybe you’ve got money, but you’re short on time. And you need other people’s talents and time to put your money to work.

5. Maybe — just maybe — you’ve got a big list of hungry buyers and you need a steady stream of appealing products and services to offer them.

6. Maybe you have no list, no product and no money… but you have the drive an ambition to put list owners and product creators together – you want to become one of the elite JV Dealmakers.

Now… “the 1 sure thing!”

No matter what it is you need … you can solve your challenges with Joint Ventures (aka strategic alliances, endorsements, piggyback marketing, host-beneficiary marketing).

And very quickly!

Here’s my gift to you…

Enjoy this report called, “The Secrets of Profitable Leverage!”
