Get this "recession-busting" video on me

Will you act during the economic downturn, or simply REACT?

Don't let fear of the recession guide your goal setting
plans for 2009. This is a BIG mistake...!

Fear is an emotional response, only good for short-term
survival.

When you're in "fight or flight" mode, you're not thinking
clearly about the path you're running... You're just RUNNING!

So your efforts lack strategy, planning, and insight.

I want you to do more than just survive 2009.

Internet shopping is predicted to hit $145.1 Billion in
the coming year, a significant 14% increase -- despite the
recession!

Consumers will be spending more time at home, using their
computers for everything from bargain hunting and product
research to upgrading skills.

Studies show this shift is ALREADY well underway...!

I don't want the Big "R" to stop you from pursuing exciting
personal, financial, and business goals in 2009, so I've
arranged to get you exclusive VIP access to an important
video that Internet marketing guru Derek Gehl just put up
on his site.

Derek's been successfully selling on the Internet for over
a decade now, and he's brought in over $100 MILLION in sales...

... so he's by far the BEST person to advise you about how
to thrive in ANY market.

When you watch his FREE Goal Setting Video, you'll discover
how you can make 2009 your richest year yet:


Wishing you health, wealth, and happiness in 2009!

John



P.S. Derek's also going to be hosting a FREE Webinar in the
first week of January to help everyone kick-off their New
Year's goals with a bang.

Quantum Jumping from Burt Goldman

Burt has held onto this for almost 30 years - now is it's time!

Burt Goldman has done more things in the last 30 years than most people will even attempt in a full lifetime - but is 81 at this time and in his words 'I think it's fair to say I've gone past my physical prime'. That doesn't stop him though, he took up painting at 80 and now has artwork hangs in a museum, he's written novels, became a recognized hypno-therapy expert, just to name a few of his accomplishments.

To say that he's been there done that and got the T-shirt is almost an understatement. Burt studied under a mystic in Korea, a Kahuna Master in Hawaii, studied and learned meditation under swami Paramahansa Yogananda (who brought meditation and yoga to the West), became proficient in hand acupressure (similiar to accupunture without the puncture - needle - part), and then heard of Jose Silva and his mind control seminars, with whom he studied and worked. Burt then went on to study the Chinese Art of Feng Shui, become a Psychic Healer, and master NLP.

The theories and possibilities behind Quantum Jumping or possible alternate universes / alternate selves have been recognized "in the discoveries of the most intelligent people in the world. Nobel prize winners, Professors, Quantum Physicists".

Check it all out for yourself and read what some of the brightest minds have to say about it on the Quantum Jumping website http://www.quantumjumping.com

Enjoy.

Be well

Keeping track with friends and family

If you've been online for any length of time you will have heard of 'facebook' - 'twitter' and other terms that you may wonder what all the buzz is about.

Both facebook and twitter do similiar things - differently.

Let's look into the differences a little.

Facebook is similiar to a blog - an online log of messages - but you can do many more things than just post messages.

• you can find old (or new) friends
• play games
• send gifts - albeit virtual
  
• take quizzes
• note places you visited
• share photos
• share your favourite movies, videos & music
• post upcoming events
• and more ... the list is long now and growing

Originally targeted at college/university students to provide them a means to stay in touch with friends and the activities around campus, facebook grew exponentionally and has been adopted by the world at large. A quick search on google returns 709,000,000 pages (vs. 657,000,000) myspace, which some argue has lost / is losing favour with the online community.

Twitter is (from the twitter website faq page)a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?
As you can seeTwitter doesn't provide the same options and choices facebook does - but that doesn't make it less useful. Especially when you consider you can embed your twitter feed/updates into your facebook page.

Sign up for accounts with both twitter and facebook. Link together. Stay in touch with friends, family or business associates. Think of the possibilities and uses. Work smart not hard.

Till next time,

Be well

Are you qualified?

Are you *qualified* to start an Internet business?

If you're like most people, you probably measure your qualifications by your technical skills...

• Your ability to design a web site...
• Your ability to write sales copy...
• Your ability to drive traffic...

But the reality is, NONE of that matters.

Let's explain.

Building a business is a FORMULA. If you can understand instructions and follow the formula, you WILL make money online.

So if it's that simple, why do SO MANY people fail at it?

Personality!

See, there are certain personality traits -- inherent in some, but LEARNED by others -- that allow people to easily succeed, and other traits that cause people to constantly FAIL.

If you could identify those traits, wouldn't you have a better chance at being successful?

Well, here's your opportunity to find out...

... because I've been authorized by none other than Derek Gehl
*himself* to offer you a FREE copy of his brand-new report, which lays out the exact traits necessary to succeed online.

The report will be available within the next 48 hours, and is based on Derek's personal observations following a DECADE of working with thousands of successful Internet entrepreneurs from around the world.

And like I said: he's allowing me to offer a copy to all of my readers for free... no strings attached.

When you get it, you can do one of two things:

1. Nothing... which is definitely an "unsuccessful trait".

2. Study it and figure out if you have the inherent prerequisites for success, or if you need to LEARN them.

So if you would like a copy of this report, for FREE, go to:

Derek Gehl's free report - build your business

... and follow the instructions there!

All the best and much success.

Mind Control - or - just words

Silva Mind Control Method

As with many things I've found, I believe I came across Silva Mind Control Method while searching for something else. Following the Silva Mind Control Method link, I found myself reading the information, testimonials and history of Jose Silva. The more one reads the more interested one becomes to learn more.

I have been listening to the CD's and working the exercise for the past couple of weeks and admittedly I've had what might be described as a hard time 'feeling' or being able to recognize whether I've reached my centre or being in 'Alpha'. I do tend to be a 'tad' overly analytical, which probably has everything to do with it.


In order to help I recently I purchased a book Jose Silva wrote 1977 (with Philip Miele) - 'The Silva Mind Control Method' that outlines the revolutionary program by Jose Silva. In the book there are exercises to complete (after one has read through the book & they are NOT hard to do) all of which is based on the original 4 day course pioneered by Jose Silva.

The 4 day course is my goal at this time and unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a course being held in Southern Ont., any time soon. But, through a forum set up by Silva Mind Control graduates I have received notice of an upcoming training to be held in Addison TX, USA. What follows is part of that email.

Over 1 Million people have used Jose Silva's mind training techniques to help them build a healthier, happier and more fulfilling life.

• "Anything with the name of Jose Silva as the author has my vote before I open to page one." ~ Dr. Wayne Dyer, author of Your Erroneous Zones, Manifest Your Destiny, Real Magic and the current best-seller, The Power of Intention.

The Jose Silva UltraMind System is

· A method of dynamic meditation

· To help you find your purpose in life

· And powerfully move you towards this greater goal.

Jose Silva's Credentials:

• 50 Years of Research & Development.
• Over one Million Graduates Worldwide.
• 10 Million Books Sold.

When you attend a Silva seminar you are attending the most advanced human empowerment program available. Jose Silva conducted years of research and invested close to $500,000 (or $2 million in today's dollar value) to learn what made some people happier and more successful than others. He then developed the Silva method and technique to help people take advantage of his findings. You will learn a series of specific self management techniques to help you overcome any impediment to your happiness and help you achieve you life's missions. The Silva UltraMind System is the latest of Jose Silva's work. Silva has always been ahead of his time. He was training people in meditation, self-hypnosis and creative visualization before these terms were embedded in public consciousness. Since the 1960s - Jose Silva has been developing and perfecting his mind training system.

The Silva UltraMind System trains you to use your mind to such a powerful extent that within two days you are able to demonstrate ESP and influence healing in others. We also teach you how to identify your mission in life and to use the power of your creative mind, to propel you toward this goal.

In short, we train you to do things you never thought possible.

Here's what you will learn.....in just 2 days

#1 Learn to Meditate Like a Monk

First, we train you to reach your Alpha Level of Mind. This is a deep level of consciousness that people achieve during meditation. The Alpha level is associated with intuition and ESP. We train you to achieve this deep level of mind, at will, in less than 1 minute. Accomplishing this alone is a valuable feat - you are probably aware of the many benefits associated with meditation.

In just the first day of training, you will be able to meditate and relax your mind and body within 1 minute. Stress, headaches, tensions, anger and insomnia will truly be a thing of the past.

#2 Develop Your Powers of Healing and ESP

Once you learn to meditate we teach you to tap into your ESP. You will experience undeniable evidence of your own ESP by Day 2. This is an incredibly powerful and emotional moment for many of our graduates. You will be given names and locations of random people unknown to you and you will receive information on them and their state of health through intuition. You will then be trained to use distant healing to help these people accelerate their rate of recovery. (Distant healing has been proven to be scientific fact in the last decade).

You will learn to use this ability to make important decisions in life. Are you in the right job? Are you with the right person? Should you make a career move?

Imagine having intuition that can always help you make the right decision and point you towards your mission in life. Imagine having intuition that knows what lies ahead, and has the ability to lead you to success, happiness and fulfillment.

#3 Use Your Mind to Create Positive Coincidences

Once you learn your mission in life and get on the right path we will teach you powerful visualization techniques to solve any kind of problem you may face in life that keeps you from this mission.

· Graduates have reported being able to accelerate healing and amaze their doctors.

· Salesmen have reported dramatic increase in their commissions.

· Others have reported meeting their soul-mates or being able to strengthen troubled
relationships.

· Many more have reported being able to achieve dreams and goals with surprising ease. (Many
of these stories are detailed in our testimonials section).

When you are on the right path, you can create coincidences to push you towards the solution and break down barriers. You can become a super-achiever. This applies to any goal - better health, better relationships, increase in wealth and greater creativity.

Learn The Two Most Powerful Silva Techniques...

1. The Three Scenes Technique: Program your mind to push you towards a goal. This technique does not just serve to create self-motivation internally - it will actually create external coincidences, things otherwise considered beyond your control, to help you achieve your goal. Luck - you find is something you control.

2. The Mental Video Technique: Nothing you've read comes close to this amazing technique. Program your mind to tap into higher consciousness while you sleep to bring you answers to complex problems and provide you with guidance in life. You see this guidance as dreams, ideas that pop into your head or physical coincidences in the form of meaningful signs. Use this powerful technique to make the RIGHT decisions, 70%, and 80% even 95% of the time.

Silva UltraMind teaches you to tap into your intuition to understand what your purpose in life is. You then learn how to use your mind to create all manner of coincidences to propel you towards this goal or purpose.

So What Makes Silva UltraMind a So Unique? A Quick Summary *Important Read*

There are Three Things about Silva UltraMind that makes it decades ahead of other programs available.

First - Learning to Function in the Alpha Level

The Alpha Level is the level of mind you attain when you are in meditation or light sleep. Affirmations, Visualization, Healing, NLP, Intuition, Clairvoyance, and Healing - ALL work hundreds, if not thousands of time better at this level. This is the level where you can harness your subconscious mind - while remaining wide awake. You do not need expensive electronics aids, audios or special rooms to reach the Alpha level. Silva UltraMind teaches you to go into this level at will.

Yes, you can reach alpha on a crowded bus, during a business meeting or in the middle of your work day. You can use these 'alpha moments' to tap into you intuition, to practice visualization, to give yourself a boost of energy or to 'de-stress'. Learn to reach Alpha anytime, naturally within 1 minute.

Second - Discover Your Purpose in Life

Have you ever felt like there was something more you should be doing with your life? Maybe you felt that there is a hidden talent just ready to burst into success. Or a special mission, a soul purpose, you are ready to achieve?

Wouldn't it be nice to have guidance from higher intelligence as to how to achieve all this?

Many self-improvement programs tell you that by tapping into your mind you can have "anything you desire". I'm afraid this is not true. Silva's research has shown that you can have anything you want - IF and ONLY IF - it is part of your soul's plan for you. UltraMind teaches you to tap into you intuitive mind to make the right decisions and to point yourself in the right direction. We help you find your Life Purpose.

If you are aiming towards the wrong goal, then you may face roadblocks in life. These roadblocks could be a lousy job, bad health, a troubled relationship.... Think about Your Life right now - do you see roadblocks? Silva UltraMind teaches you to tap into your intuition to understand what your purpose in life is - and to blast through these roadblocks. With Silva UltraMind you can live a life aligned with your True Purpose and make the rights decisions in all aspects of your life.

Third - Moving Towards this Purpose and Achieving Your Goals

Once you have learned to function at the Alpha Level and to tap into your intuition to identify what you should be doing - rather than what you think you should do - you are now ready to use the Silva Three-Scenes-Technique. When you are clear on what your Purpose is - that is, what you can be doing to benefit humanity and to fulfill your reason for being - you will find that, almost as if by magic, coincidences happen to push you towards your purpose.

The Three-Scenes-Technique is a tool we teach to help you manifest "coincidences" to move you towards this purpose. With Jose Silva's UltraMind ESP System, you have all the tools you need to obtain guidance and help from higher intelligence to prepare yourself to succeed in your life's mission.

• "The greatest discovery of the 19th century was not in the realm of the physical sciences, but the power of the subconscious mind touched by faith. Any individual can tap into an eternal reservoir of power that will enable them to overcome any problem that may arise. All weaknesses can be overcome, bodily healing, financial independence, spiritual awakening, and prosperity beyond your wildest dreams. This is the superstructure of happiness." ~ William James, Harvard Psychologist, the Father of American Psychology.

Qassia - gets you backlinks to your sites

Qassia isn't technical or hard to get working for you. It really isn't, so don't be surprised when you sign up for your own account. The hardest thing you will have (and want to do) is write a few paragraphs on something you know about. Share information on topics you have an interest in and make those paragraphs interesting enough to others, who will 'rate' them.

Read the few paragraphs I've pulled from Qassia below, they explain the system better than I might re-word it.

The idea is to earn Qassia dollars. The more Qassia dollars you have in your account, the better your websites will rank in our directory (which will be available soon). So how do you get your hands on the good stuff? There are three things you can do.

1. Refer a friend to Qassia. When someone signs up via your user page, you get credit once the user validates his/her email. Right now we are on an upward growth trajectory, and are giving away insanely huge commissions. Note that these "Gold Rush" rates won't last forever.
   • 12 hours - for 12 hours after you yourself signed up, get an incredible Q$500 per signup.
     
   • 24 hours - for the following 24 hours, get no less than Q$200 per signup, double the usual rate.
     
   • Thereafter - get a still respectable $100 per conversion.

   By the way, an added bonus of referring someone is that the referred person's user page will have a backlink towards your user page. This lets your page punch above its weight.

2. Screen other people's intel. Intel has to be screened before being published. It's quick work: just take a look at the intel, then select a rating from A ~ F (currently 0 - 5). You get credit no matter how you rate it, but if the rating you assign is close to the final score, you get a bonus. You also get an addition bonus for being the first screener to screen an intel.

3. Add intel. In the long-term, this is the best way of earning credits. The longer your intel, and the higher the rating it receives, the more credit goes into your account. And every intel you add will have a link to your website. So the more intel the add, the better your websites will rank, and the more intel you have, the more backlinks you will have pointing to your websites.

Unlike real dollars, Qassia dollars are easy enough to earn. Who will be the first Qassia millionaire? Or should we say billionaire? Better start earning now and get a head start - the earlier the better because sooner or later we will be adjusting our credit payout rates, most probably downwards.

Qassia is a credit-driven intelligence engine coupled to a cascading tag-based web directory. What exactly does this mean? It means that Qassia will change your life.

Good stuff your websites will like

At Qassia, you can add your websites for free, and without having to add reciprocal backlinks. You'll get unlimited quality backlinks (as opposed to "no-follow" backlinks). You can also add intel, short for "intelligence", intel is a tidbit of information. Qassia rewards users who add intel in three ways.

1. Backlinks You get one backlink for every piece of intel you add. Every intel will carry a direct backlink to one of your sites. So the more intel you add, the more backlinks you get.

2. Credit When you add intel, you also get credit, in the form of Qassia dollars. Your net worth in Qassia dollars determines how well your websites rank in our directory.

3. Revenue When your intel is displayed, you get 100% of the advertising revenue generated by that page. That is not a typo, by the way: we give you ALL of the gross ad revenue.

This means that website owners have triple incentive to contribute intel. The contributed intel will allow Qassia to become a vast repository of intelligence, with unrivaled original content. And a vast amount of original content draws traffic like honey draws ants.

Now all you need to do to get started, click here add your website(s), create your 'intel' and creating backlinks to your website(s), you'll be happy you did.

Web 2.0 is all the buzz - you don't have to get left behind ...

Web 2.0 is all about improving a visitors experience visit to your website.

Back in September 2005, O'Reilly and MediaLive International noted during a brainstorming session "that far from having "crashed", the web was more important than ever, with exciting new applications and sites popping up with surprising regularity."

Those new applications & sites have been popping up all over the place, think Facebook, Digg, Techorati, Stumbleupon, all of the Google apps to name just a very few of those available today.

Now a new application Qassia has come to life and takes a slightly different approach than most of the other applications available. It exists essentially to provide backlinks to the websites you post 'intel' about. Think about this for a moment, every web owner/affiliate wants to have their website found in the first 5-10 results on a search page (the first 3 with double results would be even better).

There's no cost or need to supply a backlink. The more 'intel' you provide related to your site, the more credit you get, the better your site(s) will rank which is, in itself, reason to post 'intel'.
