Greetings to you !
“Most people perform far below their potential
because they are either unaware of the
principles of achievement –
or fail to apply them consistently.
Success is not an accident –
it is a learned skill”
~Jeff Keller
Pondering on these words of wisdom one realizes how much work needs
to be done really in order to be successful. These past weeks have
found me convincing more and more entrepreneurs to work on
skills & attitudes that are necessary to be successful .We
online entrepreneurs need this no less, I would like to think we
need it even more due to the fact that one is always dealing with
the lesser known. The skills of good communication, presentation,
and innovations among many others greatly helps one achieve success
faster. One’s attitude on the other hand is the epic centre of all
that is known to be successful. Research has proven without a doubt
that most successful people possess great attitudinal skills such as
self-esteem, the ability to convert a weakness into a strength, they
look at problems as opportunities and are always ready to stretch
themselves over and beyond their comfort zone!! Most importantly
they are ever open minded and ready to unlearn the wrong learning of
the past, there by causing a paradigm shift from a life of point
less journey to a life of adventure touching excellence and
achieving success ultimately. We are all here to succeed, whether it
be on a personal level or at our enterprises. Why is it that so many
then fail? Hmmmmm something to think about, or may be not so much to
think about but more so to ACT!
Talk to you soon and hope you enjoy this edition of our newsletter,
do write in and share your thoughts with us, we’d love to hear from
you.
Till next time

What market should you pursue, small or big?
"My father used to say to me,
“Whenever you get into a jam,
whenever you get into a crisis or an emergency . . .
become the calmest person in the room
and you’ll be able to figure your way out of it.”
– Rudolph Giuliani,
New York City mayor
A long time ago, I realized that you don’t necessarily have to
pursue a big market to become financially secure. You simply have to
go for an open market that is open and receptive to your unique
product or service offering. For me this realization came when I was
running my internet home business and at the same time was having
day job with computer consulting company. I then realized that large
corporations are not owned by individuals but are owned by
shareholders which are run by elected executives. Those companies
are basically faceless and only exist because of the large market
share and limited competition. They are very inefficient and use
politics to accomplish their objectives. Bureaucracy, egos and
manipulation get in the way of innovative thinking. Well, I quickly
understood that this was not the kind of business model that I
wanted to emulate so I decided to concentrate on the smaller sector.
If you decide to follow in my steps, go after a small market that is
not in direct competition with big companies. Find a group of
people who are neglected by everybody else and you will take control
of the market. You’ll not only provide them with valuable solutions
but you’ll gain tremendous profit.
Below you can see example of sites addressing small and narrow
markets:
You’ll realize that small interest groups probably won’t make you
millions in the first year of your operation, but with patience and
persistence, the money will come. You’ll soon be able to quit
your day job.
So, what do you do if you find several available niches? You satisfy
their needs. You take advantage of the wonderful opportunity that
has presented itself. You go for it!
Your income will be multiplied by the number of niches you are
involved in next time.

The Greatest Joys...
Have you ever noticed how sometimes the simplest things in life
bring the greatest joy?
Last night my Son was playing video games why my Grandson slept on
his chest all curled up. My Grandson looked so cute sleeping on my
Son's chest. He looked secure and content. I couldn't help but feel
proud of my son. I brought up my Son with a lot of love and
affection and it was nice to see that he was passing on the same to
his son. Before my Grandson was born my Son wasn't doing to good,
all he did was party as I did at his age but he too saw the
importance of being a responsible parent. I thank God that he was
wise and caring enough to see that nothing in this life matters more
than your family and friends.
On your dying bed what will matter? Your fame, your wealth, your
status... if no one is present at your dying bed or at your funeral
then of what importance were all these other things?
Stop today to see what is important in your life; stop to enjoy what
matters? Take the time to show love to your Spouse, your Kids, and
your Friends. Do this and your reward will be great, the reward that
comes when you know that you did something really worthwhile in your
life.
Love and blessings to all of you! :)

For... Forgi...Forgiv...Forgiveness
Why so hard to say? Why so hard to do?
Like weight problems, like smoking, like many other things in
life that seem to control us, forgiveness has to be worked at.
If you approach forgiveness in the same way as a detox, yes, a
detox, you will start to understand that you are the one who will
benefit most.
First of all, the act of forgiveness is releasing, it is
rewarding and good for the spirit. Hatred, revenge and anger are
like poisons, not just to our brains but to our bodies as well.
Yes, it’s easy to say forgive when it’s not you that has to do
it.
For our sake we need to forgive. We need to understand that there
is always a reason why somebody made something horrible happen, that
is, without acknowledging that it was right in any way. People who
cause pain are usually either ill, misinformed, scared, lonely,
isolated............, we could go on. Why let their indiscretion
ruin your life. Think, would anyone normal have done that thing?
Would anyone fully in control have done that? No? Now you
start to understand.
Focus upon the future. See a future without the hate. Get a
picture of you, feeling great and released, keep getting that
picture, over and over again.
One day the hate will be gone and you can give the feeling a
label “forgiveness” and guess what?
You are the winner.

Pot o' Gold
During the month of March, some of us celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Now I don't
have enough space here to go into the purpose of the celebration,
but our good buddy Google can find you
many facts if you desire them.
Speaking of facts, can anyone tell me what "luck" has to do with St.
Patrick's Day? Somewhere in my past, finding a pot o'gold was
also part of this celebration. I guess you'd have to be lucky
to find a pot o'gold, right? Not only would you have to be
lucky, you would have to be very clever to out wit the leprechaun
who is guarding it. And to make things a bit trickier, you can
only find it at the end of a rainbow. I'm not sure, but I
think the odds are against me. We don't have rainbows in the
desert in March, much less any rumors of sightings of leprechauns.
Those of you continuing this thought towards the idea that maybe
there is a lack of "wit" here better watch it! LOL!!!
While I was hunting down the information and links for this
newsletter, I made a correlation to this celebration and browsing
forums in Adland. There are a lot of rainbows here! Just
pick any forum out and start reading it... go on... see? The
rainbows are made up of the colors of all of you interacting with
each other!
Psst... careful, there just might be some leprechauns too. :)
Hmmmm.... what about a pot o'gold?
If you think about it for a moment, there are plenty of pots o'gold.
Every time a forum wins the Best Forum Award, they receive a bit of
gold. Where is the pot? YOUR FORUMS! Just create a
forum with a worthy topic, build it over time meeting all the
criteria of the BFA, nominate it and watch what happens when your
friends in the community notice! You'll get your
pot o'gold AND build some really good relationships with some very
nice leprechauns. LOL!!
Get your pot o'gold!
