Greetings !
The seminar went very well at the weekend. In the end I could
only attend on the Saturday, but I did enjoy hearing the other
speakers. Thankfully my own presentation was well received too!
I’m now working hard re-recording it, and adding extra slides and
resources. It is, in effect, three presentations in one: part one
is all about how to run a profitable ezine, part two talks about
how to profit from learning to write articles and part three
delves a little into how you can create or acquire your own
product to sell in the easiest way possible.
There is a lot to cover and so far I’ve recorded over three hours
of audio to go with the Powerpoint presentation (about double
what I did at the seminar!)
Yes, I can talk for England! 
My biggest problem is the sheer time it all takes to create the
audio, record the video and edit it all together! I’ve spent
about 7 hours on it so far and have less than half an hour’s
worth of finished videos to show for my time. I’ll get there in
the end though! Recording the audio separately to the video was,
in retrospect a mistake as it doubled the workload.
We live and learn.

It doesn’t help that I’m in a lot of pain right now and the
cocktail of painkillers I’ve taken is not helping much. My
appointment with the consultant surgeon who will perform the
lapiroscopy isn’t until tomorrow evening, so goodness knows when
the actual tests will take place.
Here in the UK, even private health care takes its own sweet
time!

My friends Dan Turner and Marc Lindsay – the Aussie guys who run
my favorite PLR ebooks site, http://urlnex.us/plrproebooks – have
launched a new product today that is really special.
It is called OutsourceMethod and it is a real eye-opener.
One thing that separates Dan and Marc from other marketers (apart
from the fact that they are mega successful and despite still
being in their 20’s have build a multi-million dollar business)
is that they have, from the very beginning of their Internet
careers, been keen proponents of outsourcing.
Now, you and I both know that outsourcing is the way to achieve
huge success – because it allows you to offload the stuff you are
not so good at so you can concentrate on the bits you are good
at. But how many of us actually do anything about it? I know I
don’t! There is so much that I could outsource – for pennies -
but I try to do everything myself.
It’s crazy and the guys are always telling me I should let go
more.
The problem is – and you may have the same problem as me – that
never having properly outsourced much at all, I’m nervous of the
process. I’m not sure how to do it – and avoid getting ripped
off. I’m not even sure of the best way to present my problem so
that an outsourcer can understand how to work with me.
Well, Dan and Marc’s new product, OutsourceMethod -
http://www.outsourcemethod.net – is the answer to my prayers. It
is everything (and I mean everything) we need to know, do and
understand to become hugely successful through the use of other
people’s time and efforts.
It is the Outsourcers’ bible.
Over the last week or two the guys have sent me some of the
modules and content that they’ve included for me to review, and
I’ve been incredibly impressed by what I’ve seen.
Unfortunately, I’m not feeling well enough today to write up the
full report I wanted to. Hopefully I will come back to it when I
feel up to it.
But I didn’t want their launch day to pass without at least
telling you that this is one product you probably need and that
it is of the highest quality.
If you head on over to http://www.outsourcemethod.net you can
pick up a free report that tells how they used the methods they
teach to build a site that is now doing over $50,000 per year,
after only 5 months – and all for just 5 hours work by them.
I have that report open on my desktop right now and it makes very
interesting reading.

The Quote of the Day
_________________________________________________________________
Edward S. Finkelstein said,
“Bigness comes from doing many small things well… Individually,
they are not very drAMAtic transactions. Together, though, they
add up.”

Today’s Power Thought
_________________________________________________________________
I read an unattributed quote earlier today that went, “When you
want what you’ve never had, you must do what you’ve never done.”
Isn’t that so true?
Read it again:
When you want what you’ve never had, you must do what you’ve
never done.
Dreams, goals, targets, aspirations … these are all things that
we want to achieve that are in some way beyond the place where we
are right at this minute. And the ONLY way that we can ever hope
to attain them is to move beyond this comfortable place.
To achieve, we must stretch, and the more we stretch, the more we
can achieve.
In looking for the source of that fantastic quote I was
unsuccessful, but in another way I was very successful because I
found another quote that I loved:
“When you want to believe in something, you also have to believe
in everything that’s necessary for believing in it.” Ugo Betti
Now that’s powerful, isn’t it!
And put those two ideas together and you get pure TNT.
So this isn’t so much an action point today as food for thought.
Bon Appetit. Dine well.

Fascinating Facts
_________________________________________________________________
Have you ever wondered why important days are referred to as ‘red
letter days’?
No? You’re lucky! Questions like that plague me!
Red letter days are so called because the monks who used to write
out ecclesiastical calendars in medieval times highlighted
important saints days and feasts in red ink.
Maybe in 400 years time our descendants will refer to
‘bold/italic’ days.
