Hello Adlanders,
The month of February 2013
has come and gone already,
and with it
there have been many challenges
for me. I've been nominated to
be
a Company Instructor, and am
presently working on becoming a
Company Check Airman for the Learjet
20/30/50 series and have
been in special training for this,
consequently my online adventures
have suffered a bit.
This month I'm featuring
a gentleman by the name of Ken Wolff. Ken
has blessed the Adland Community since
August 27, 2007. He's got
an interesting story to tell. If you are not
friends, please invite him!
May you be blessed with all your activities.
Sincerely,
James Wright

I have written
this in 2006 and James encouraged me to
share it with you .
Let me tell you a short story
It was 1986 in Poland the year that two
young university graduates were married.
These were the years of the post-solidarity
movement in Poland, where martial law was
introduced and people were given rations to
live. The job market didn't make any sense
at this time, because university graduates
either couldn't get jobs or they could only
work for a minimum salary.
The young couple decided to leave the
country in search of a better life so they
went to Germany where they spent 4 years
looking for other destinations (Germany does
not accept immigrants). During this four
year period two children were born.
In 1991, they managed to arrange a one way
flight from Germany to Canada and soon, this
young family with two children (1.5 and 3
years old) arrived at the Winnipeg airport.
They had only a very vague understanding of
English and no knowledge of what they could
do in this new country.
An employee of the church (which offered
them help in the form of guidance and a
temporary place to live), was waiting for
them at the airport to pick them up to take
them to a little apartment. This run-down
building with old mattresses on the floor
was already shared by several other
families.
The family's father swore that he would
never again do the kind of jobs he had to do
during his four year stay in Germany.
He worked on construction sites, cut the
grass, loaded and unloaded ships. In general
these were very low-paying activities, which
didn't make much difference in the family's
life.
In order to receive better jobs, the father
and mother decided to receive recognition
for their east block education from Canadian
Universities. It turned out that the
University clerk couldn't pronounce the name
of the University from Poland and decided
that they didn't fall within the
requirements of recognized educational
centers.
After several failed attempts to get
Canadian certifications, the mother and
father decided to take some courses at a
Canadian University.
The next obstacle was how the parents would
pay for the university. Since they didn't
have any money, there was one option only.
The student loan.
The father got so interested in the courses
that he managed to complete an entire 4 year
computer science program within 2.5 years
and got his first job as a programmer before
his last semester was even finished. His
wife got her first job around the same time.
Two years after they arrived in Canada, they
both had well paid professional jobs. Soon
the father got interested in the internet.
He also started reading books from such
motivational personalities like Tony Robbins
and Brian Tracy. He discovered that the most
successful people started from scratch. He
started reading biographies of known
personalities and other books teaching the
power of mind.
Inspired by this, he started running his own
internet business from his basement and
within two years his home business was
making double what his day job was making
him. It was time to quit the day job and
start working full time from the basement.
Well, as you might have guessed, that father
was me, the mother is my wife, and those 1.5
and 3 year old kids are now two girls
attending university. During all these
years, I have read stacks of books, listened
to various tapes and CDs and learned that
everything that happens in an individual's
life is up to them. They create their own
destiny. Everything can be learned and
understood, you just need to be able to
realize this. I realized this when I found
myself in a situation where I had to work
twice as hard as others in order to get the
same results. In all that, quotations and
pointers from successful people were for me
the required component to keep me on track
and give me instant support and
encouragement.
Reading these "two or three liners" was
sometimes enough to get me over the hurdle
and keep me moving. I trusted these words
and I still read them daily. It helps me
because each day of my life is full of
surprises and new challenges.
Once you reach one level, then there is the
next one which has so many unknowns. Again,
you need to receive strength from somebody
who was there before you.
So dear reader, enjoy these quotes in this
little book. Learn from them and return to
them often.
If you are already inspired, they will
validate your feelings, if you are down they
will start moving the blood in your veins so
you can start feeling alive again.
This above text was used as an introduction
in my book of motivational quotes in 2006.

quotes for yourself, please download the
e-book below. Its zipped self extracting
executable.

Well, another year is in the books.
How did 2012 turn out for you?
Whether its New Year’s Resolutions
For Adlandpro Marketers to help
achieve your new years resolution
was a wonderful year, or a trying
one, it’s important to reflect back
on it and make note of the lessons
learned in order to improve for the
future. And since the world didn’t
end (thank goodness!), there is a
future to look forward to. A common
exercise at this time of the year is
to generate a list of New Year’s
Resolutions.
Perhaps you have done so in your
personal lives before – I certainly
have (despite the extremely low
completion rate of my plans).
As I look ahead to my next year here
at ADP, I thought it might be useful
to share my plans to become a more
effective marketer in the New Year.
So, here are 3 New Year’s
Resolutions that I believe will
improve your Adlandpro marketing in
2013:
Join 100 Friends Vote for Person Of
the Week, Give your feedback to
improve the community, Nominate your
friends
These are the most important forums
in the adlandpro Community.

place classified ads it's a place
where you can just come to forums
talk and hang out with friends with
your same hobbies and interest.
Things like Sports, politics,
cooking, art, and so much more.
Social relationship building is a
proven reality person to person is
one of adlandpro's great powerfull
tools the power on a real live
friend list of active members that
see what you do not only for
yourself but for others as well.
People have been nominated for POTY
and POTW and do not accept this
honor for it is an honor that i
would never decline or just pass off
to another. Adlandpro Person of the
Year honor is the adlandpro golden
ring and it can be achieved by any
adlandpro member.
My main priority in the Adlandpro
Community is to help our members to
success and activity. We have our
100 friend Feature this helps new
members be in instant contact with
our most active members for help in
this huge community.
I'm also working with Bogdan owner

Adlandpro Game changer our Adland
Credit Builder where even free
active members will build Direct
contact sends by building there
adland credits.
You will see this become a reality
in the community.
I well be working on how to set into
play what I've called Sleep Mode.
Sleep Mode will help our members
from wasting credit sends to Deaf
Ears (inactive Members)
Weekly wake up emails will be sent
to the inactive members to wake up
and get back into an active place
where they will capture Marketers
messages and ads.
These Features are set up to help
the hit rate if the mass sends by
the members.
Plus and Gold memberships will be
worth much more with these Features
in Place.
I think this year we will adopt Self
Nomination for our weekly POTW

This will give everyone a fair shot
to show there stuff and Brand
themselves in Adlandpro
Bottom Line i felt i had something
to say I've been in Adlandpro since
2004 and This is a great community
for 90% of everyone that has
internet and is looking to better
themselves this is where to set up
your Networking Home Base. There is
a future for you in the Adlandpro
Community.
