Can’t get much clearer than this:

Was wishing just this morning that I had a Kindle so I could (immediately) get Seth Godin’s latest - “Linchpin: are you indispensable?” …. arrgghh!!

So many gadgets so little time - thinking iphone apps are in my future too - means I need a Mac and an iphone now - oy.

Thing is - I’m not sure I want to be indispensable … is that weird?

(but I DO ‘get’ the niche market message - you?)

Day 2

I realized this morning that, not only am I creating a new habit of  (literally) sending out appreciation, but I’m also changing the habit of not tuning into the appreciation I have for other people.

This is a 43 year old habit (until yesterday - grin) of NOT taking the time each morning to pause for a few minutes and tell someone how extraordinary they are.

I do have the habit of sharing myself and good vibes via email replies each morning - but that’s more reactionary than it is pro-active.

I “get” how important it is to the flow of everything good to have gratitude, appreciation and celebration for yourself and others (heck that’s how Twitter works best!).

I get that.

I’m just not in the habit of it …. yet.

This morning I sent a thank-you card to my Aunt Pat.

Hmm I wonder if I should add the stipulation - 365 days of cards to 365 different people?

Ooh that’s stretching the old “possibility zone” LOL

What habit will you begin changing today?

Thank-you for taking this journey with me

As always (for me) Abraham - even when picked apart and interpreted by Jerry and Esther is a little too much in the philosophical (and not-clearly actionable) zone.

But now and again - one of their daily messages catches my attention … this one sure did.

Consider these two subjects. Which way do you pass your days thinking?

The subject of money is really two subjects: (1) money, plenty of money, and (2) absence of money, not nearly enough money. Often people assume that because they are speaking the words “I want more money,” they are speaking positively about money. When you are feeling fear or discomfort as you speak, you are not speaking of the subject of money, you are speaking of the subject of not enough money. And the difference is very important, because the first statement brings money and the second holds it away.

— Abraham

Excerpted from the book “Money and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Health, Wealth and Happiness” #282

Our Love,
Jerry and Esther

And what do you suppose are the action steps to switching gears over to the abundant side?

This isn’t some trick question - I’m asking here …

I feel like I am on the gnats edge of rock-solid abundance thinking … but it’s not like you can be “some” abundant thinking.

To me it feels more like a light switch that’s just waiting there patiently for me to get my whole mindset whipped into shape so it can turn on already.

Kinda like I’m living well within the possibility zone, but just not quite there yet.

Does that make any sense?

Would love to hear your thoughts.

In appreciation,

Andrea

Special thanks to my friend Rob for sending me this.

Two Choices

What would you do? …you make the choice. Don’t look for a punch line, there isn’t one. Read it anyway. My question is: Would you have made the same choice?

At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves children with learning disabilities, the father of one of the students delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended. After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he offered a question:

‘When not interfered with by outside influences, everything nature does, is done with perfection.

Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn things as other children do. He cannot understand things as other children do.

Where is the natural order of things in my son?’

The audience was stilled by the query.

The father continued. ‘I believe that when a child like Shay, who was mentally and physically disabled comes into the world, an opportunity to realize true human nature presents itself, and it comes in the way other people treat that child.’

Then he told the following story:

Shay and I had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked, ‘Do you think they’ll let me play?’ I knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but as a father I also understood that if my son were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence to be accepted by others in spite of his handicaps.

I approached one of the boys on the field and asked (not expecting much) if Shay could play. The boy looked around for guidance and said, ‘We’re losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning. I guess he can be on our team and we’ll try to put him in to bat in the ninth inning.’

Shay struggled over to the team’s bench and, with a broad smile, put on a team shirt. I watched with a small tear in my eye and warmth in my heart. The boys saw my joy at my son being accepted.

In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay’s team scored a few runs but was still behind by three.

In the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the right field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously ecstatic just to be in the game and on the field, grinning from ear to ear as I waved to him from the stands.

In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay’s team scored again…
Now, with two outs and the bases loaded, the potential winning run was on base and Shay was scheduled to be next at bat.

At this juncture, do they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game?

Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was all but impossible because Shay didn’t even know how to hold the bat properly, much less connect with the ball.

However, as Shay stepped up to the plate, the pitcher, recognizing that the other team was putting winning aside for this moment in Shay’s life, moved in a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shay could at least make contact….

The first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily and missed.

The pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly towards Shay.

As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.

The game would now be over.

The pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman.

Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game.

Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the first baseman’s head, out of reach of all team mates.

Everyone from the stands and both teams started yelling, ‘Shay, run to first! Run to first!’

Never in his life had Shay ever run that far, but he made it to first base.

He scampered down the baseline, wide-eyed and startled.

Everyone yelled, ‘Run to second, run to second!’

Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second, gleaming and struggling to make it to the base.

By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the right fielder had the ball the smallest guy on their team who now had his first chance to be the hero for his team.

He could have thrown the ball to the second-baseman for the tag, but he understood the pitcher’s intentions so he, too, intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third-baseman’s head.

Shay ran toward third base deliriously as the runners ahead of him circled the bases toward home.

All were screaming, ‘Shay, Shay, Shay, all the Way Shay’

Shay reached third base because the opposing shortstop ran to help him by turning him in the direction of third base, and shouted, ‘Run to third! Shay, run to third!’

As Shay rounded third, the boys from both teams, and the spectators, were on their feet screaming, ‘Shay, run home! Run home!’

Shay ran to home, stepped on the plate, and was cheered as the hero who hit the grand slam and won the game for his team

‘That day’, said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face, ‘the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world’.

Shay didn’t make it to another summer. He died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making me so happy, and coming home and seeing his Mother tearfully embrace her little hero of the day!

AND NOW A LITTLE FOOT NOTE TO THIS STORY:

We all send thousands of jokes through the e-mail without a second thought, but when it comes to sending messages about life choices, people hesitate.

The crude, vulgar, and often obscene pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion about decency is too often suppressed in our schools and workplaces.

If you’re thinking about forwarding this message, chances are that you’re probably sorting out the people in your address book who aren’t the ‘appropriate’ ones to receive this type of message Well, the person who sent you this believes that we all can make a difference.

We all have thousands of opportunities every single day to help realize the ‘natural order of things.’

So many seemingly trivial interactions between two people present us with a choice:

Do we pass along a little spark of love and humanity or do we pass up those opportunities and leave the world a little bit colder in the process?

A wise man once said every society is judged by how it treats it’s least fortunate amongst them.

You now have two choices:

1. Delete

2. Forward

May your day, be a Shay Day.

I appreciate you!

Getting organic search traffic on Google is something that many people wish they knew how to do, but very few are actually teaching. I have two favorite (excellent) resources for learning just exactly what to do and how to do it, which I’ll share below.

Got this question about Hubpages recently - and figured my reply should help more than just one person (name changed for privacy)

---

Chris wrote:

[note: he's talking about one of our many online marketing trainings for home business]

I watched the webinar on Hub Pages like 4 times and I did 4 hub pages and all 4 landed on either the first of second page of google in like an hour. They stayed there for like 3 day’s and now they are all gone? I can’t even find them under my keyword how do you make them stay on Google and where did it go.

The keyword I’m talking about is the one I used in my title and description and I also have like 25 different other keyword tags…

Thanks

And I replied:

Hi there Chris -

They do get an initial boost from Hubpages and then Google
takes the time to decide if they’re really on target for the
phrase that you’ve chosen.

As with all things Google, their ways are a bit of a mystery … but
here are a few of the things that make Google ‘happy’:

1. The phrase in your title and in a hyperlink on your hub need
   to match the keyword you’re shooting for.
2. Quality content.
3. Other sites linking to your hub with via the same phrase
   (aka. backlinking).

You should also understand that while Google is figuring out
where it really wants to rank your hubs, it’s not unusual for
them to become completely de-indexed… and then reappear later.

I’m gonna assume you covered the first two and what’s really
left is getting backlinks enough to ‘beat out’ the other sites
ahead of you. Getting quality keyword backlinks (and enough of
them) will make your hubs and articles ’sticky’ on Google.

Hope this helps!

Andrea

It Really is Just That Simple

It really does boil down to just those three things. There’s nothing that impresses Google like a high quality keyword related backlink

Of course - picking a phrase that people will actually search for (so you get targeted traffic) is another big piece of the puzzle … I highly recommend One Week Marketing and the lessons my friend Jackie and I  createsd to go with it if getting ranked on Google is something you’re wanting to master.

Make it a great day!

Been receiving a Note from the Universe for several years now. Sometimes it hits home - sometimes not.

Today’s is spot on with what I know to be true about building a business (any kind of business) online.

You can grab your own daily dose here.

My take away from it is this:

• The more you know, the more value you have to offer.
• The more value you actively offer, the more audience you have.
• The more audience you have the more people who know like and trust you.

And ‘know like and trust’ is da bomb

Today’s Note from the Universe:

I don’t recommend asking for what you can have, or even for what you can give, nearly as much as I recommend asking for what else you can know.

Because there is always more you can know, Andrea, and knowing it will radically increase all you can have and give.

Did you just ask something?
The Universe

Part II?

Having a way to give it away and also profit at the same time. Setting up marketing funnels that lead the people who want to know what you already do (and everyone knows something) is important.

Part III?

Marketing YOU by sharing the heck out of yourself. The more value you have to offer, the greater of number of people you’ll have searching you out and taking your recommendations.

The more we know, the better problem solvers we can be.

Being a problem solver = win/win marketing = repeat sales … everyone’s happy

Appreciate you!

Andrea

I’m one of the moderating “Success Coaches” over on the Facebook Group called-

The Empowered Entrepreneurs Movement

Hop on over and mastermind with the awesome quality of people we’re attracting - love to have ‘ya

Thought I’d share a reply I just made on our discussion boards over there - the original post was made by one of our Mastermind members - John Stewart - great guy (love his motorcycle trip pics!) and is totally on the Empowered / Attraction marketing path - you should go add him.

Here’s the part of his post that spoke to me … and below that, you’ll get a glimpse of how I like to leverage my personal attraction marketing efforts - if you want the same set up for yourself - just holler- k?

Appreciate you!

Andrea

Hi John -

You are SO clear on this stuff! You should post this to your blog so we can RT you - grins

This is the part of this that I think people have the most challenge with:

“Try using the new business model, become a trusted friend to your prospects be the one that delivers the solution to your prospects in a way that is better than anyone else. Be there to help, teach, train, and give real knowledge and value that will make their lives better.”

And I think the challenge comes for a couple of reasons - I know it’s been a learning curve for me anyway …

1. people have to be genuine in their interest in others and WIIFM (what’s in it for me) has to be overridden  … ’cause the payoff comes later - and I mean BIG time (;-))
2. there has to be an “ask for the sale” built into your marketing funnel (aka. the mastermind system in our case) so that it CAN be attraction marketing … without this piece of the puzzle in place everyone DOES go broke being ‘helpful’ (ask me how I know - lol)
3. I think many people just don’t know what they know that would be useful/valuable to others. Everyone has value to offer someone else - we get that way just by living and breathing everyday — the skill to learn is to listen and to share freely of your own experiences - people just want to connect and feel appreciated and truly there is big $ in that and that you can be genuine in the process? That’s what makes this whole approach such a beautiful thing …

Good stuff!

Hey, I think I’ll go leverage this on my blog too (which is set up to to post to twitter and my notes/profile here too) - neat huh?

Andrea

PS. Here’s My Facebook Profile - Friend me too while you’re over there if you want

Where to begin - well we’ll start at a blog video that I recently watched on Jonathan Budd’s blog that really had a good take away for me.

It was all about getting in touch with your ‘Inner Teacher’ and looking inward for answers rather than outward for the answers … stuff like that. Now I have a tough time getting (intentionally) too terribly deep and introspective but there was still a HUGE take-away for me.

The upshot of it was this:

“You haven’t helped anyone until you’ve helped them not need your help”

Now some people might hear that and scoff - ’cause  it sounds then like the goal is to always be working your way out of a job. And I guess that sort of fear might creep in IF you were either bad at attracting new people or unwilling to reinvent the value you bring.

And actually, that’s by far the easiest way to bring continuous value - be willing to always be learning and also share it enthusiastically.

YES we should become good at both sourcing new traffic to our marketing funnels and always expanding our value to others …  but we already know that it’s WAY easier to re-serve an existing customer than it is to source a new one. That’s why listbuilding is such a critical part of any marketer’s equation and bottom line.

Adding value is what makes that list relationships last.

So, I had a new twitter friend ask me yesterday about how to go about “constantly creating value” and I thought I’d address that here by sharing three rock solid ways you can begin today:

–> Way to Add Value #1 - Share something you learned yesterday.

Sometimes I think we fail to realize just HOW much we take in and how completely people appreciate it when others short cut the learning curve for them. Could be something as simple as how to reply on twitter or come up with an article topic. This is a case of ‘little things’ really can mean a lot.

–> Way to Add Value #2 - Make ‘em laugh.

There are very few people who don’t like a honest to goodness belly laugh.  But like anything else - searching for funny stuff is no where near as satisfying as hitting just the good things. Consider becoming a dependable source of things that really really make you grin.

–> Way to Add Value #3 - Send them to other great resources.

Yep that’s right - you can be valuable by just being an info ‘aggregator’ of sorts. Become known as the go-to person for all things “(name-your-topic)” and people who are also interested in that topic will be drawn to you automatically as word spreads.

So I guess my point it this - adding value works (and causes you to stand out) because it’s not about you - it’s about the wants and needs of others.  Ask yourself this - will someone be able to take what I put out there and readily share it with others?

• If it’s nothing but an ill disguised link to your opp - highly doubt it.

• If it’s all about you and not about them - chances are slim to none.

• If you’re talking at them (rather than to them) and are way off their radar topic-wise (bible thumping door knockers and dinner-time telemarketers come to mind for me here) … you’re clearly not targeting your market right.

Help Them Not Need Your Help

Give them what they want - you’ll be golden - you’ll see

Andrea

In marketing - price point is one of those things that weighs in on -

• • • how you promote
    • what sort of copy you write
    • who you’ll be marketing to
    • whether your mindset is ‘right’ for the product

It’s that mindset point (my mindset) that was given a little kick in the hiney as I was watching this video from one of my mlm mastermind partners - Adam Holland.

It’s a great 17minute training on setting up marketing funnels that really made me stop and think about what it is I’m leading with. Thinking that my comfort zone has expanded to where I can offer bigger and better things first - and then the less pricey offers will seem over the top reasonable.

So ty Adam for that bit of inspiration and clarity - very cool

Can’t wait to see how Adam’s new personal branding product tuns out!

It’s interesting though … yesterday Russell Brunson launched a new continuity program on continuity programs (lol) and his OTOs (one time offers) went like this:

• mid-range -> modified cheaper version ->
• cheap -> modified cheap ->
• largest ticket -> modified large ticket …

So basically, he had people on this wild roller coaster ride price wise (having already gotten them to order a freebie w/ paid for shipping - I think that came first?) … I can’t imagine there isn’t a method to his madness??

What price point are you leading with?

Andrea

A funny thing happened along the path to make my first video (ever :-o).

See, I got to the “I wanna add a little music” part; you know - at the beginning and the end during the credits (my first round with Windows Movie maker has opened Pandoras box btw - LOVE it) … and it turns out that audio is a whole lot harder to find for free online than images.

I did find a site I’d sorta taken notice of awhile ago that has very affordable music clips as well as graphics and other cool stuff available to purchase direct from the creators. I’ll probably go back there and pick something as my ‘theme’.

(When I told my 15yo that I’m gonna have a jingle - she laughed - LOL)

I did get pointed to a site whose name would lead you to believe that their music is free, but when I read the fine print, their stuff is only free for personal family type work shared by email (for example) - and NO uploading to websites without paying an annual license fee.

Oop, that was the whole object of the exercise. Which is a shame ’cause I’d already picked something really cool and added it to my video.

(Needless to say I had to replace it with something else.)

But here’s where the surprise comes in.

Call me naive but I felt certain the person who sent me to that site couldn’t have known that the music doesn’t have a free license for use on websites - but when I PMed her about it - she “shrugged”.

Hmm…

Well, so I did what I felt was “the right thing” for my waiting video but at the same time I kinda questioned … “could this be one of those ‘it’s easier to beg forgiveness later’ kinda things?” - was I just being TOO straight laced?

The next day the answer came.

A loud and extremely clear message (okay it was a rant) from Larry Winget by way of Michel Fortin’s blog.

The upshot of it? (and I should have been able to be clear on this myself being an artist from birth - guess we all need reinforcement now and again, eh?) - it reinforced a simple truth…

The use of intellectual property without consent is stealing.

Doesn’t matter if you “haven’t had any issues with that yet”

That is still one of the 10 commandments, yeah?

Pretty sure
Andrea

Okay maybe not quite babes - my new friend Omar is 20 - grin - but still to have the clarity that he does at an age that offers DECADES of growth … wowie zowie!

This is from a forum discussion on our Mastermind Community that comes with the MLM Mastermind System we both use.

He started like this:

“You gotta first focus on just learning the stuff and not only the strategies and skills, but developing your mindset.

Maybe that sounds confusing maybe you already know what I’m talking about. But you have to first just concentrate all your energy on growing and building your value.”

OMG did he just nail it on the head or what??

And it got me to thinking …

Why is something so simple as “become valuable” such a hard thing for people to wrap their brains around?

It seems like people often fall into one of three groups:

1. the first group - well, they are completely self absorbed and just want to get what they want - they’re takers … in the realm of marketing, they’re called “interruption marketers” … and they represent the majority of people out there pimping their “opp”. Not their fault really - they’ve just never been taught any different.
2. the second group - they don’t believe they have anything to offer - or worse - they can’t imagine that they could ever be valued by other people - these are the folks who (sadly) don’t take action. Their pre-programmed self talk has them beat before they ever get started - they are not true entrepreneurs (yet).  To quote Jonathan Budd, “The real entrepreneur is a juggernaut that can not be stopped.” - so true so true.
3. the third group - now this is the group I LOVE … they are creative, they are introspective, they are transparent, they are always learning, they KNOW deep in their soul that what they’re up to will be interesting and valuable to someone some where and that it’s their job to -
   

   
   A.) find those people and plop down in their path where they can begin to build know like and trust and

B.) continue to expand and grow themselves so that they always will have more value to offer.

Then friend Omar said (oh and BTW - you should add him on Facebook - watch him grow into an unstoppable force … and take the ride if it feels right)

He said:

“Just realize that it’s going to take time. Don’t worry about the traffic, or the money, or signing people up. Just grow as an entrepreneur and build as many relationships as you can while helping those people and adding value to their lives. It’s a journey, it will take time. But you will get to where you wanna go if you just follow that formula.”

Holy COW! Knocked it clean outta the park that time LOL.

You go Omar!

I Appreciate You,

Andrea

Here’s what started this:

“When all basic needs are met true self development stands a chance of abundance of the spiritual kind.”

That was waiting for me on my facebook wall this morning …

And it’s not an uncommon way of thinking.

My friend John, for example, is the King of “If I hadda” and “Yeah but” - he’s gotten way better about this over the years, but it was always amazing how many different ways he could put obstacles in his own path - and have most of them be basically in his own head.

• If I hadda certain tool, then I could get the job done.
• Yeah but even if I did have that tool, I still need the free time to do it properly.
• If I hadda chance to do the things I want to do, I would be happier.
• Yeah but good things never happen to guys like me “they” won’t let it.
• If I hadda bank roll I could get the things that I want/need.
• Yeah but I’m not built like that - I can’t get a break to save my life.
• If I hadda different life, wouldn’t things be just peachy

Yeah but - I’m skeptical …

I believe that if he were handed everything that he wants/needs there are two ways it could go.

1. First, if it weren’t strictly controlled by outside arrangements, it would be squandered in a very short matter of time.
2. Second, he’d still be discontent. Unable to appreciate the things he does have (to me) says that no matter what he has, that appreciation factor will still be missing.

So back to the statement on my Facebook wall this morning:

“When all basic needs are met true self development stands a chance of abundance of the spiritual kind.”

See I think that’s almost a catch 22 in a way - it can be that when personal development happens, the physical wants and needs get met and then some.

And on the other hand, I know an awful lot of ’starving’ artists and deep thinkers - so there has to be more to abundant financial/material flow than just “inside work”, yeah?

Seems like the real puzzle piece is being of value to others AND being able to take action to package yourself in a way that others recognize that value - and second part to that is being a willing participant in the material ebb and flow (which is a point where A LOT of people have fear and stuck points, eh??)

Which takes me to this - (probably why I’m working on a personal branding project and have been invited to offer up my coaching efforts to another…) - where we can help people is with the packaging and presentation (ie. the branding and the marketing ) and though we can present and expose them to the personal development that will bring the lasting growth, that’s all that can be done.

The rest has to come from inside.

THEY have to weigh how much they want change to happen and then they have to take action to do the inside work to get there. What’re you willing to do today …

It’s the old “We’re only given as much as we can handle” in action - so when we can handle more, we never seem to fail to get it … funny how that works.

Don’t ya’ think?

Appreciate you!

Andrea

I’m a quote lover.

Thanks to Eben Pagan - I’ve just met Peter Drucker.

Some pretty amazing quotes are attributed to Peter Drucker:

The aim of marketing is to know and understand the customer so well the product or service fits him and sells itself.

The best way to predict the future is to create it.

Efficiency is doing things right; effectiveness is doing the right things.

Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action..

My greatest strength as a consultant is to be ignorant and ask a few questions.

Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into hard work.

Suppliers and especially manufacturers have market power because they have information about a product or a service that the customer does not and cannot have, and does not need if he can trust the brand. This explains the profitability of brands.

The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn’t said.

Any of those work especially well for you today?

Andrea
