===========================================

All 1,000 Spots ''Snapped-up.'' 500 More Just Added

For Business Owners, Entrepreneurs and Professionals - ONLY - Jay Abraham's Two Hour Long, Business Building Teleconference

This is the last offer you’ll get for the free $10,000 training Jay Abraham is offering.

Earlier I invited you to participate on an exclusive one-of-a-kind (LIFE CHANGING) two-hour, Business-Building Workshop Teleconference with Marketing Phenomenon Jay Abraham, the Super Consultant to The Business Stars (as my gift to you.)


All 1,000 Lines Were Taken In The First 12 Hours, 500 More Just Added.

But They Won't Last Past Today

http://www.abrahampublishing.net/app/aftrack.asp?afid=273610&u=www.abrahampublishing.com/wealthtracks/register/index.html

We were only able to open up 1,000 phone lines. But with so many subscribers on our lists, all 1,000 were snapped up soon after we announced it. Now, just a day before the call we've moved mountains, and been able to add 500 more lines.

But that's it. We can't get any more.

So I strongly urge you to visit:

http://www.abrahampublishing.net/app/aftrack.asp?afid=273610&u=www.abrahampublishing.com/wealthtracks/register/index.html

IMMEDIATELY register and reserve one of the very few remaining lines -- if you want to see your business profits soar.


Why All The Excitement About THIS Teleconference Call?

In case you missed the earlier info, this is probably the most heavily responded to gift opportunity we've ever made. Here's an executive summary of what's being offered (and why it's so valuable):

Executive Summary

We've arranged a FREE two-hour teleconference-based "Quick Start" course with world famous marketing genius, Jay Abraham. Here's exactly what Jay will cover in this call:

Hour 1.) Marketing Secrets That Will Increase Your Financial Stability

Hour 2.) Fortune Building Business Lessons Your Competitors Don't Know About! What YOU Can Have In Common With Tony Robbins, A Founder Of Federal Express, The 300 Top Business Experts, President Of Nightingale Conant, and 8 Inc Entrepreneurs-Of-The-Year.

Would YOU like to learn the same income enhancing marketing lessons and fortune-building business ideas that people like Tony Robbins, a founder of Federal Express, the owner of Nightingale-Conant, Football legend Fran Tarkenton and eight Inc, Magazine Entrepreneur of The Year Winners learned!?

Each of these people paid a SMALL FORTUNE to learn these "success lessons" from Jay Abraham!

But You Get A Second Chance To Learn It as our gift. Now We've Opened Up 500 More Lines. You Must Sign Up Today If You Want To Participate.

NOW you can have access to master marketer Jay Abraham to teach you LIVE his best business building strategies, on a special two-hour interactive teleconference call. More importantly, YOU GET THIS TRAINING FOR FREE - and you never need to leave your home or office to do it, either.

That's RIGHT! Learn from Jay Abraham for FREE!

So many of my readers have seen all the laudatory letters people have written about super consultant Jay Abraham in the past. But they wondered...

What could any one man possibly know that made his books worth $400 or $1,000 a copy, his tapes worth a shocking $2,000 - $5,000 a set -- and his seminars sell out at a staggering $25,000 per person?


Now You Can Find Out First-Hand Without Spending A Penny

We've arranged for just 1,000 (now 1,500) of our subscribers to be taught a two-hour, "crash-course" on Marketing Ideas That Create Great Business Wealth. Jay Abraham himself has agreed to personally conduct this entire breakthrough, two-hour class.

Why? Because Jay is a great friend and a passionate believer in what we're doing. Jay has become our personal marketing advisor and mentor for engineering massive profit breakthroughs. People I know have paid him hundreds of thousands of dollars to millions a year for his expert advice.

But THAT was a BARGAIN, compared to what that advice earned each of their businesses.

One idea Jay gave Bob Allen early in their relationship put over two million extra profit dollars in Bob's bank account -- within less than 45 days!

The first idea he gave Vic Conant, made Vic $900,000 in 30 days time.

The second one made Vic A TON more.

Maybe that's why I'm one of the greatest fans of Jay's mind and methods. So when I was looking for a wildly profitable, business strategy to help you enhance your financial state -- I called Jay.

JAY'S MINDSET AND METHODS WERE MY FIRST & ONLY CHOICE.

Jay's offering this conference call as added value for your e-mail subscribers, too, if you'd like to invite them.

The man probably knows more ways to make someone like you more money from your business than any fifty other marketing experts combined. He knows more powerful ideas for increasing sales, generating more customers, multiplying profits and creating great business wealth than anyone else I know.

(A bold sounding statement, I know. But one that's totally true.)

And I take my reputation and credibility with you very seriously.

I wouldn't put myself or our organization out on a limb for that kind of statement -- if I wasn't absolutely confident it was 100% true and possible to do for you -- on Jay's upcoming teleconference session.

That's why in this two-part, two-hour long intensive teleconference session we've persuaded Jay to cover ...

HOUR 1: How to Attract More Customers Than You Can Handle and How to Sell More to Every Customer you deal with

HOUR 2: How to Sell More Profitable Items to Every Customer!

Jay also knows how to take a new idea for a business (or a small start-up enterprise) and explode it with immediate revenues and profits and positive cash flow ... even if you don't have a cent to spend on advertising, promotion or salespeople.

Jay knows how to get you no-cash advertising. He knows how to find you all kinds of strategic partners, and joint ventures who'll put up all the people or money you need.

He can teach you how to do more lucrative money generating business deals than you ever dreamed possible.

The man is an absolute idea-a-minute, money multiplying, cash-flow generating "Wealth-Building, Marketing Machine."

You are about to find all that out for yourself -- IF you get to be one of only 1,500 people from our e-mail lists who Jay will be teaching his Marketing Methods to -- on our special two-hour, teleconference session.


Is this man REALLY worth listening to for 120 "thought-provoking" minutes?

You tell me.

He has over 12,500 major business success stories credited to his ideas. He's been featured two different times on the front page of USA Today in their MONEY Section.

Jay has impressive credentials

Forbes Called Him "The Real Thing."

Investor's Business Daily ran two of the largest stories ever on Jay in their prestigious Leaders & Success section (one on the front page. )

Then they hired Jay.

Entrepreneur has written about Jay twice.

The founder said Jay made him over a million dollars.

Success wrote five major stories on him. They hired him, too.

Forbes ran a two–page feature that named Jay one of only five Executive Business Coaches Forbes called "the real thing." Jay was the only one out of all five Forbes said could "...turn an under performing corporation into a marketing and sales whiz."

Jay's latest book was lavishly endorsed by Stephen Covey, Harvey McKay, Ken Blanchard, Tony Robbins, a co-founder of Federal Express, The Founder of Home Shopping Network, The Publisher of Investor's Business Daily, Seth Godin, Martin Edelston, and 146 other prominent experts.

Mark Victor Hansen says he and Jack Canfield got the major idea behind their wildly successful "Chicken Soup For The Soul” series from an idea Jay gave them.


Find A 10,000-1,000,000 Dollar Windfall On This Call

Tony Robbins says Jay shows everyone he ever talks to how to find a 10,000, a 100,000 dollar profit or even a 1,000,000 windfall. I'm confident he'll find one (or more) for you, too -- over the two hours Jay will be teaching you his money-generating marketing ideas on this enriching conference call.

I hope I've excited you.

Because that's my intent.

But as I said earlier, there's a problem here:

I've got so many people I'd like to get onto this conference call. But we are only able to get 500 more of you on the extra lines! That is the MAXIMUM number of people we can add on! So I strongly urge you to visit

http://www.abrahampublishing.net/app/aftrack.asp?afid=273610&u=www.abrahampublishing.com/wealthtracks/register/index.html

RIGHT NOW!

At this point, we can't add one more place beyond that to Jay's two-hour, conference call "business building" course. Jay agreed to do this two-hour teleconference course for us -- One Time Only.

I can't promise he'll ever do it again for FREE.

Forbes said Jay charges $20,000 per person when he trains people in large groups at his seminars (and $40,000 a day when he works privately). I know that over 10,000 people have already paid many thousands each to attend one of Jay's past programs.

So the chance to learn a short-course, two-hour "primer" on Jay's biggest & best wealth-building business ideas FOR FREE seems (to me, at least) to really be the financial break you have been waiting for.


A Look At What You'll Learn

Jay has promised to share with you his three best ways to grow ANY business. He's given his word he'll explain “The Strategy of Preeminence,” the potent strategic philosophy that sky rocketed one of his clients from a $1,000 start up all the way to the 450 million dollar market leader in 8 amazing years, with zero financial risk.

He's told me he'll also tell YOU about the 21 power principles the very richest business people use to create their enormous wealth.

Jay also says there are ten major marketing mistakes that keep most small/medium business owners from ever making really big money. But you can eliminate all ten from your life within the two hours Jay will spend with you on these teleconference calls.


Geometric Profit Boosts

Jay developed a simple "proprietary system" he calls the eX-Factors that guarantee any business owner who uses them geometric boosts in their profit growth. He'll teach you the basics of his system (and its key concepts) on one of these two hours.

PLUS, he has agreed to set time aside at the end of the second hour (time allowing) to take your biggest unanswered questions, help solve your biggest business or money-making problems or help find the biggest overlooked profit opportunities you may be sitting on.


A World Class Expert / A World Class Opportunity

This is a "World Class" marketing expert offering to personally work with you by group conference call for FREE because you're one of our valued friends. Jay charges $75,000 to speak for 90 minutes in front of a private group.

But he will spend a total of two enriching hours with you, over this fast-paced FREE teleconference session.

Why is he doing it?

Because he knows his ideas can make you a "bundle" and he wants to invest in your success first.

We moved heaven and earth to make this two-hour conference call available FOR FREE for those of you who act FAST.

Go do it now –– join us at:

http://www.abrahampublishing.net/app/aftrack.asp?afid=273610&u=www.abrahampublishing.com/wealthtracks/register/index.html

IMMEDIATELY register. The call is tomorrow, Thursday, June 30th, at 11:00am Pacific (2:00pm Eastern). The 500 lines we just added won't be available beyond today.

Chip’s B2B Tip #93 - MP3 Usage Legal?

.
B2B Tip #93 - You decide About MP3
.
I have not researched the following, and offer no opinions on its veracity or lack thereof.

I just downloaded and read a report from From Joe E. Clayton, Jr. and Joe Robson concernng the current mp3 usage of a lot of people being legal or not ...

MP3 is an acronym for MPEG-1 Layer III.

You can look at this site if you wish:
http://www.mp3licensing.com

Clayton and Robson purport in this report that the distribution and/or use of MP3 files for ANY commercial purpose requires that you obtain a license from and pay the appropriate royalty fees to the patent holders Fraunhofer/Thomson.

(NOTE: Although Thomson is a patent holder, since 1993, they have also been the exclusive Licensor of the Fraunhofer/Thomson patented technology.)

Possible Alternatives?

Xiph is a collection of Open Source Projects. Open Source projects are, by definition "free" and NOT subject to patents and license fees. The Open Source Project can be found at http://www.opensource.org/. One of the oldest and most aggressive Xiph projects to date has been the "Ogg Project".

Simply put, Ogg is another format for audio files.

WizardofOgg

The software is legally licensed: it is licensed to redistribute the Microsoft Media 9 / DirectX technology, which it uses to convert your audio. It is available here: http://www.WizardofOgg.com

Worthy of your attention?

Let the buyer beware?

You decide.

Marketing Guru Wants To Help You

When you hear who is conducting this F*R*E*E* two hour business growth workshop AND the amazing topics he is covering, you'll move mountains to be one of the few people on our list who experiences and benefits from this amazing event.

- The person conducting the complete workshop is considered the greatest business marketing experts on the planet - Jay Abraham!

- I've sung his praises numerous times before. But a lot of you never got the chance to experience Jay's wildly profitable ideas --- because his products were priced so high it intimidated you.

- For those of you who don't know, Jay is the highest paid, most remarkably successful marketing SUPER CONSULTANT on the planet. At $5,000 an hour --- $40,000 a day --- Jay Abraham is ordinarily priced out of the realm of affordability for all but the most successful, wealthy, or high income entrepreneurs.

- People like Tony Robbins, Mark Victor Hansen, Nightingale Conant, Fran Tarkenton, Entrepreneur Magazine, Success Magazine, Investor's Business Daily --- all turned to Jay for money-making ideas and wealth-building advice. He's made them millions.

I've known people to each pay Jay millions of dollars in one year, because he made them tens of millions of dollars or more!

Jay knows more ways to make you money, in more areas of business (and business start-ups) than any one else in the world. His ability to come up with brilliant, fresh, ingenious, and "wickedly lucrative" ways to market his client's products, services and professional services --- on and off line --- is even more amazing.


WANT SOME EXAMPLES?

He took $20,000 a year startup idea called Icy Hot to $13 million in 18 "fast track" months.

He took Jim Cook's $300,000 a year brokerage business to $500 million in two years.

He took Entrepreneur Magazine from $700,000 to $8,000,000 in an incredible nine month's time.

He made David Hall a "staggering" $35 million in 18 months.

He gave Mark Victor Hansen and Jack Canfield the idea for "Chicken Soup for the Soul."

He made Vic Conant $900,000 in 60 days, then $10 million more --- in the next 15 months.


Double Your Business

I can go on and on for pages. But you get the idea.

The man is uncanny in his ability to make people like you vast fortunes. It doesn't matter how small or modest the current business. It's the size of its potential that's important to Jay.

He can show almost any business owner how to double or redouble their income in 12 months or less.

I'm sure he can show you, too.

He can teach salesmen or saleswomen, business owners, P & L responsible managers ... and any entrepreneur eager to start or buy a new business, tons of ways to amass small fortunes.


JAY ABRAHAM KNOWS WHERE TO KICK!

No One Else Knows All This

You know the old story about the car mechanic who's called in after every other mechanic failed?

He listens to the engine for a few minutes, then hauls off and gives a big swift kick in a certain strategic spot.

Lo and behold, the engine starts purring like a kitten. The mechanic turns around, gives the car owner his bill for $400. The owner is flabbergasted and demands an itemized breakdown.

The mechanic's bill reads:
"$1 for my time, and $399 for knowing where to kick."

Jay Abraham knows exactly "where-to-kick" when it comes to selling, promoting and marketing any and every kind, form, or type and size of business, product or service --- online and off.

Jay knows how to sell high ticket items, low ticket items, tangible, intangible, wholesale, retail, professional services, distributors, manufacturing goods, raw materials investments, new ideas, startups. You name it! Jay knows how to sell zillions of things. He knows how to sell over 10,000 different products and services --- including (I'm certain) whatever your company or business markets and sells, too.

Jay knows how to sell peoples' products and services in inventive new ways that frequently makes them many times more money than they've ever made in the past.

Depending on the market, he knows how to get dozens of other businesses, publications, associations, websites, e-mail lists, even TV or radio stations to sell your products for you --- without paying them a dime for advertising.

He knows how you can actually "give away" free info and turn all the inquiries into millions of dollars of "back-end" sales. Jay knows how to help you tie up the rights to other people's products/services using no money out of your pocket.

He knows over 100 different ways to successfully sell online and offline.

He knows The Power of Referrals

He knows over 93 ways to generate referral business. He knows over twelve ways to create new products and services instantly with zero investment on your part.

Jay knows over 50 ways to make money from giving your prospects free samples/experience.

In fact, Jay is the only person I know who has sold both millions of inexpensive products/services as well as millions of high-priced, sophisticated products/services; both tangible and intangible, alike!


The wildly profitable things he can teach you are amazing.

And now this "idea-a-minute" marketing genius has agreed to open up his marketing secrets and fortune building spigot exclusively for my subscribers --- at absolutely no cost to you!

That's why we pulled out ALL the stops, to get Jay to do a two-hour long teleconference workshop for us on Business Building Jay Abraham-style and Money Making --- Made Easy.

I promised Jay a lot of you would greatly appreciate him helping you, without asking to be paid for doing it. (Because his F*R*E*E* live workshop will probably produce hundreds of new success stories --- including yours).

Then I think, you'll be eager to give back to Jay in the future --- by purchasing one or more of his exceptional products, services or programs.

Why?

Because you should be able to easily pay for any (or all) of them out of a small fraction of the "profit bonanza" Jay makes you from this F*R*E*E* two hour long conference session.


The Missing Piece Of The Puzzle

We think this experience will provide you with the missing piece of the marketing and business building"profit puzzle" you desperately seek.

It will give you the critical answers you want.

It will solve the major marketing, promotional and sales issues you are struggling with. It will give all of you who read my past endorsements about Jay a chance to experience --- first hand, his money making brilliance --- Without Investing A Cent.

Quite frankly, Jay Abraham is a no-nonsense, figure-out-the-answers (roll up his sleeves to get it done for you), "make things happen" - Business Building Super Star.

You'd ordinarily never get him to do this without paying a ton.

But you are invited to spend two-fast paced hours --- via teleconference call --- with Jay Abraham this one time-ONLY...

Thursday, June 30, 2005
11:00AM Pacific Time (2:00pm Eastern)
ABSOLUTELY F*R*E*E*!
Ask Jay Questions, Too!

Time allowing, you will be able to ask Jay questions at the end of the second hour. You may get him to show you how to restructure your entire marketing methods or business approach.

You may even get Jay creating actual "quick fix" marketing strategies for you --- on-the-spot! You will --- DEFINITELY--- have him teaching you some of his most closely guarded marketing secrets for two thoroughly enriching hours.

This really IS a lifetime opportunity. Recently, Jay did a general marketing seminar in Los Angeles for 650 people. Each paid $5,000 to be there.

Nearly 100 more couldn't get in. Over 750 people paid $2,000 just for the tapes of that program. He regularly sells out his $25,000 events, too!

But, as my valued FCS blog reader you don't have to pay anything other than your nominal line charges to be on both hours of this exclusive teleconference session.

But - to be a part of this extraordinary money-making, 2-hour experience - you MUST REGISTER IMMEDIATELY!

Having Jay Abraham F*R*E*E* for two long enriching hours, focused 100% on "fast track"- business building is a dream come true. But the nightmare is the fact that we only have 1,000 lines available on the conference.

We have thousands of people on our list ALL reading this invitation at the same time.

Whoever signs up first gets in. Whoever waits doesn't! Apologies, but that's all we could arrange.


Impressive Credentials

Jay has been lavishly written about in forty-five major newspapers and business magazines. USA Today wrote not one, but TWO impressive articles in their prestigious Money Section about him. Success wrote five articles about Jay, one called him "possibly the greatest marketing mind alive today."

Entrepreneur wrote two, Investor's Business Daily wrote twice on Jay in their prestigious Success and Leaders sections. One appeared right after Bill Gates.

The other appeared right before Jack Welch. Forbes called Jay "the real thing." And said, "he turns underperforming corporations into marketing and sales whizzes."

Here's your one (and maybe only-ever) chance to participate on a two-hour, high level teleconference seminar conducted by Super Consultant Jay Abraham... and not pay a cent to attend.

This really IS a $10,000 value. Why? Because an hour of Jay's time goes for $5,000, nearly double that and the experience is worth $10,000.


If you know how to jump on opportunity --- Jump on this.

By the way, there IS one "stipulation" to this offer ---

You MUST participate for both hours --- if you register. And you MUST interact with Jay when he asks for responses, questions and marketing issues critical to your success. But since we expect every line to fill up, and have a waiting list of thousands more --- anyone who signs up, but doesn't show up will be penalized for taking the opportunity away from someone else who would fully use and value it.

We're doing this special "added-value" teleconference session for business people on our list who take action, implement and follow through. So don't sign up --- unless you plan on showing up and using your full opportunity we've made possible.

Other than that reasonable request, the program is absolutely F*R*E*E* and open to the first 1,000 who register from our list.

Best of Success to you.

One more thing. It's exciting. When you register andget confirmation, Jay will send you an enriching 87 Question self diagnostic assessment tool, entitled, "How Does Your Business Stack Up?" You'll know before you even get on the call where your biggest opportunity and financial bonanzas lie.

Chip’s B2B Tip #91- Paul Myers

.
B2B Tips #91 - Paul Myers' Business Model for You
.
My friend, Paul Myers of http://www.talkbiz.com fame sent me an email newsletter today in which he addresses a question from a person named Zoran on one of the online discussion forums.

Zoran apparently is looking for a business to start, and Paul makes certain definitive suggestions (in his usual Paul-style). As is typical with Paul sharing his wisdom, it's surely worth sharing with you.

In fact, you would be well served to go get on Paul's list.

Paul is the gift that keeps on giving ...

If you're not careful, you'll pay big bucks for crappy information from other people that's not nearly as effective, efficient, and doable as what Paul gives you here for free.

Take heed, dear reader ...

Here it is.

================================


Here's something I haven't seen many people discuss. You can start it very inexpensively, and it's got as much potential as almost anything you could do online, if you work at it.

LOCAL advertising, on a strictly opt-in basis.

Start a site that caters to your area. Let's say, for example, that you live in Toronto. Register TorontoNites.com, which is available as I write this.

Get a copy of phpList from http://www.phplist.com/

Set it up with various categories of things people might want to hear specials and notifications about. Some examples:

-> Dinner specials
-> Theatre and movie specials
-> Music happenings (concerts, local bands, etc):
Jazz
Blues
Country
Classical
Alternative
Rock
-> Civic events
-> Outdoor happenings
-> Art fairs and exhibitions
-> Home improvement
-> Gardening
-> Etc...

When people sign up, they will be able to check the areas they want to hear about. In addition to their preferences, you'll want to get their first name, email address and zip code.

Because it's local, I recommend that you consider very carefully before asking for a last name. That may make some people uncomfortable. If you ask, make sure it's optional and that the subscriber knows it.

Make sure the program is set to require confirmations and make the process clear on the page that comes up after they hit the "Subscribe" button.

Now, get some good photos of things happening in the city. Stuff that's fun and interesting and clearly local. Put together a simple, clean looking site that exists for one purpose: To let people sign up to be notified of entertainment, educational and civic events that fit their interests.

To get the ball rolling, you first want to approach some of the non-profit, educational and artistic institutions in town and offer to let your subscribers know about their events - free.

Place a link on a separate page (linked from the front page) to those sites. Mention that and let them know that you would welcome a link back if they feel it would be appropriate.

Also, trade links with other local sites. A directory of Toronto web sites would be a good addition for your members, and provides a good introduction to potential link partners.

You're developing content sources AND traffic sources at the same time.

Next, publicize the site in the local papers and see about getting other press. Get creative with this, but try the news angle first. Remember: Subscriptions are free.

Put up a link on the front page mentioning your advertising options. It should be easy to find, but not something most people will notice unless they're looking for it. Something at the bottom saying "Advertise in Toronto Nites" would be about right.

Once you have 1000 or more subscribers, start looking for local restaurants or other businesses and offer the first ones free ad space (or solo ads), to test the responsiveness of the medium for them.

When it gets going, you'll find it very easy to get advertisers. You keep the whole thing useful by only sending the ads to people who asked for info on those topics. phpList s very cool in this regard... And they can change their preferences at any time, too.

Keep sending those notices of civic events of interest, like art fairs and free concerts. Make it useful, and the word will spread. People will pass those emails along to friends and that can mean a lot of subscribers.

That's money model number one: Paid advertising to people who've asked for it, and told you exactly what they want to hear about. That's OUTSIDE the "locked" section of the site.

Next, set up blogging software that let's you create multiple blogs with different passwords.

http://www.pmachine.com/ offers pMachine Pro free, and it's quite powerful.

Possible: Set up a discussion forum, using phpBB (latest version, for security) or whatever software you like personally. Set it to require registration, so you can nuke twits who might come in to start trouble.

I say possible here because you might not want the headaches... Discussion forums are rewarding, but they take a certain diligence to keep things useful. The upside is that they allow people to actually become part of the community.

In a local forum, that's a Very Good Thing. Balance this against your own personal tastes and tolerances.

Now, approach various people who are intelligent and opinionated. Offer them a column on your site. (That's what the blogs will be.) Same for local editorialists, music critics, DJs and politicians/civic activists.

Let each one choose whether they want their columns open for posted commentary.

Keep going until you have a good batch of columnists. Make it clear that they're solely responsible for the content of their postings, and that they're expected to maintain reasonable standards. Make it equally clear that you will not attempt to influence their positions.

Now you start offering memberships. Put together a list of things you'll be getting for them. Members-only specials, interviews with interesting local people, commentary from local politicians and more. (Not hard to get, once you build an audience.)

Give them away at first. Set a limit... the first X,000 get in free. At some point after that, you plan to start charging. Note: This is very different from ONLY the first X,000 get in free.

That X,000 is your seed audience. That gets you the ear and eye of a lot of people.

It's also more exposure for ad sales.

Once you've got some good content flowing in, and have some press, then you start charging. Recurring billing, whether monthly (low price, as you can get a lot of local people if the news or entertainment is right), or annually at a moderate price.

Something like this already in your area?

So what? You come at it from a different slant and you're looking for a different audience.

That help spark some ideas, Zoran?

Hey! I think I just wrote the first draft of a newsletter...

Chip’s B2B Tip #89 - Google Grip

.
B2B Tip #89 - Google's Trippin' Again
.

In its never-ending quest to dominate all things animal, vegetable, and mineral (and living or dead) - Google is once again tightening its noose around the skinny neck of the 'searching' world.

Apparently the steroid / LSD / oxycontin cocktails are flowing freely from the Google water cooler again ...

... and the straight jacket is back from the dry cleaners.

According to Jason Miller at WebProNews, Google just filed another patent - this one aimed at so over-analyzing news sources that it will exclude many, many news sources to which we currently have access in the search results we receive from Google.

Personally, I don't trust any of the search engines because they each employ a form of institutional censorship (well - how did you think they got the specific results they show you?).

This is why, when I'm serious about really getting to the bottom of something, I typically use more than one search engine and/or a meta SE like WebFerret, because I want to see the so-called 'opinions' from more than one 'source.'

In other words, every SE provides, in a sense, its own form of propaganda. Why? It only shows us what it wants us to see or the stuff people have paid to have force-fed to us.

You decide.

For some deceived reason, most people see search engines as some sort of benevolent entity sitting gently out in a cyberspace rocking chair somewhere just waiting to serve us perfectly accurate and unbiased content from its musty, dusty set of trusted reference books ... like some sweet old white-bearded, Santa-Claus-looking Granddaddy.

Get real.

Is that really the highest and best use of a search engine if YOU are the SE company?

NO - and we the users of such tools need to fully understand that the SE 'universe' is developing just like the commercial TV business model. Watch the analogies yourself.

The longer we go along, the more search engines become commercial generators instead of relevant content generators.

Do you really trust that business model? Do you believe everything you see on TV?

You decide.

.
B2B Tip #87 - Go Ahead ... Reach Out And Touch Someone
.
Here's a quickie.

The easiest way to build relationships is to start them!

I just received a very nice email from Susan Thomason in the UK. She didn't know me and I didn't know her. Her kind email was to compliment me on this blog and express her genuine feelings about some other things.

I appreciated her kind email.

So I obviously 'noticed' her among the clutter and noise in my inbox.

Can you take a lesson from this (I hope so.)

A few ways to get noticed are to:

• Buy someone's product
• Get on his or her list
• Send a kind email
• Etc.

Whatever you do - be sincere ... and be 'you.'

That's all you know how to be any way.

Thank you again, Susan -

Chip’s B2B Tip #86 - Fabulous Fathers

.
B2B Tip #86 - Rebecca Hintze
.

"Fathers Hold a Rope of Safety"

I have been Blessed in my life to have an awesome Father. Dad's soon to be 76 years young. Mom died in 1992, so it's been Dad and me since then.

Not everyone is as fortunate as I am. That saddens me greatly ...

Rebeccas Hintze sent us an email today that has some startling information in it. I reprint it here as food for thought for you. There's a lot more to life than just business ...

=============================================

Fathers Hold a Rope of Safety

Rebecca Hintze is the author of, "It's Time to Dance: A Guide to Emotional Freedom," available online at Amazon.com.


Many years ago a child was trapped in a hole in the ground. The only way to get him out was to send another child down the tunnel to perform the rescue. A small boy was asked if he would be willing to do it. His response was this: “I am scared to go in that hole, but I will go if my father will hold the rope.”

Life seems to work a whole lot better for the entire world when loving fathers honor their roles and hold secure homes where we can feel loved, safe, and protected. Over the past three or more decades, families have struggled to stay intact.

The women’s movement of the 70’s falsely led many to assume that a father’s role is optional, and not required for a family to succeed. However, research and related statistics tell a different story.

The National Fatherhood Initiative has published these important figures confirming the important role a father plays in the development of a child.

• Fatherless children are twice as likely to drop out of school as their friends who live with two parents.

• Sixty percent of rapists grew up in fatherless homes.

• Seventy-two percent of all teenaged murderers were raised without a dad.

• Seventy percent of kids living in juvenile corrections homes were raised by a single parent.

• Children without a father’s positive influence consistently score lower than average in reading and math tests.

• Three of fourteen suicides occur in single-parent families.

• Eighty percent of the adolescents in psychiatric hospitals come from fatherless homes.

• The absence of a biological father increases a daughter’s vulnerability to rape and sexual abuse by 900 percent (often these assaults are committed by stepfathers or the boyfriends of custodial mothers.)

The truth is, too much of today’s problems stem from a world-wide family living without fathers who are willing and able to hold the rope of love and safety for their children.

Now child poverty, crime, drug abuse, and family decay can be traced to homes where a father wasn’t present, loving, or nurturing. Women play a huge role in creating fathers who are responsible and loving.
Mothers have an obligation to properly care for and nurture their sons so that down the road, they know how to love and care for their children.

General Douglas MacArthur once said, “By profession, I am a soldier and take pride in that fact, but I am prouder, infinitely prouder, to be a father.”

How can we help fathers succeed in their roles?

Religious teacher, James E. Faust makes two simple suggestions:

“First, sustain and respect the father in his position;
second, give him love, understanding, and some appreciation for his efforts.”

This is our homework for the week!

Happy Father’s Day,
Rebecca HintzeAuthor, therapist

=============================================

I have 2 daughters, Tiffany and Cassi. My hopes for them is that they will be spared the difficult, hurtful times in their lives inflicted by other selfish people.

Protect your family and your children at all times.

Chip’s B2B Tip #85 - Steve's Apple

.
B2B Tip #85 - Steve Jobs
.

Ken McCarthy sent me a url to a write-up of Apple's Steve Jobs from his commencement address at Stanford University last week (6/12/05.)

It is so good, I am reprinting it here. The copyright is not mine.

Read it ...

===========================================

'You've got to find what you love,' Jobs says

This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005.

I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.

The first story is about connecting the dots.

I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?

It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.

And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.

It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example:

Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.

None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, its likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.

Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

My second story is about love and loss.

I was lucky – I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation - the Macintosh - a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.

I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down - that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me – I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.

I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.

During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I retuned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.

I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.

My third story is about death.

When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.

I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now.

This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope its the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.

Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

Thank you all very much.

.
B2B Tip #84 - Deodorant and Shaving Cream
.
My wonderful daughter Tiffany picked up a couple of items at the grocery store yesterday for me - my deodorant and shaving cream. I had told her the brand names and 'flavors' I wanted.

When she got home, she brought me different brands and flavors than I told her. I didn't really know the best way to handle it. In one sense, I truly appreciated her getting me the products.

In another sense, they were the 'wrong' brands and flavors - brands and flavors I don't use. So I accepted them (graciously?) ... and wondered what I was going to do now. These are not my brands ...

============================================

Do you prefer Chevy to Ford?

Nike to NewBalance?

Coke to Pepsi?

Mustard to mayonnaise?

Sweet pickles to dills?

Tommy Bahama to Old Navy?

=============================================

The point in this exercise is for you to ask yourself if you are preferred by people over your competitors. Do you have top-of-mind awareness when people think of folks in your field?

Do you have brand recognition?

Are you accepted as the obvious expert in your field?

============================================

Many of us are not. So don't feel bad.

Just begin today to do something to establish yourself as the go-to-guy or go-to-gal in your field. There are scores of ways to do it. The fastest way is though relationships with others in your field, where you can do joint ventures together.

The best way I know is to get yourself a copy of "First Contact Secrets" at (http://www.firstcontactsecrets.com) before the final few are gone.

You'll be glad you did.

Chip’s B2B Tip #83 - Patience vs. Passion

.
B2B Tip #82 - Patience Has Perfect Work
.
There's a very wise saying which states, "Let patience have her perfect work."

This simply means that patience is a virtue, paying big dividends to you over time, when you learn to let things happen when they're supposed to, instead of trying to force things to happen.

Another wise saying is "There is a time and a season for everything."

OK - why am I being so philosophical?

In the last 14 days I've been retained in 2 separate, very lucrative consulting contracts. One is with Randy Gilbert as the Executive Producer for his "The Inside Success Radio Network."

The other is as the Affiliate Manager for Jay Abraham and Tony Seruga for Jay's new "Partners In Profit" and "Insiders' Club" programs.

With all due respect to you, the fees and other details are my private business. The point I make here is that wonderful opportunities present themselves over time if you are faithfiul, reliable, honest, consistent, and put integrity above money.

Word gets around.

And frankly, I didn't expect either of these deals to happen, so we can call them 'surprises.'

I've known both Randy and Tony for a couple of years now. I've been with Randy and Tony in person before, but have never met or spoken with Jay Abraham. So how did I get the gig as Jay's Affiliate Manager without ever meeting or talking with him?

An endorsed recommendation from Tony.

How did I get the gig with Randy? Being faithful and reliable over time.

This stuff is basic - it's not rocket science - but so many 'gurus' would have you believe that if you'll just buy their over-priced, over-hyped "how-to-do-JVs" product, like magic you'll be doing huge JVs tomorrow and be filthy rich the next day.

Crap.

Hogwash.

Trust me when I tell you that this group of unscrupulous people will lie to you about something else, too. Do what you know to do. Be who you are. Be to others what you want them to be to you.

Let patience have her perfect work, learn how this stuff REALLY works, and you can look forward to wonderful surprises happening to you over time, too.

Putting people I know, like, and trust together for their mutual benefit thrills me ... it's my passion. I try to create situations where everyone gets exactly what they want, and the deal is fair for ALL the players ...

A win-win as we like to call it.

B2B Tip #82 - Paul Hartunian

As you may know, Paul Hartunian gained more than a little publicity by selling some little pieces of wood and making a veritable fortune doing it.

Then he put together a publicity kit to teach you what he learned.

In his current newsletter, Paul mentions looking back at 3 particular lessons that were important in his life. Here they are. See if they strike any chords with you ...

=========================================

"When I look back on my life, there are three lessons I've learned, each of which has become solidly hardwired into my psyche.

1 - There never was anything to be afraid of. The opportunities I passed up, the women I never enjoyed, the rock star I never became. All sacrificed at the altar of fear - fear that never really existed.

2 - My worst decisions and actions happened when I was being petty, weak or self-involved. The less-than-kind comments I made about people, the negative outside influences that affected me.

3 - I am on this planet for bigger purposes than accumulating riches. Thirteen years ago my life was permanently, profoundly altered by a dog named Milo. He put me on an entirely different life path. Milo helped me see that one of the major reasons I've been fortunate enough to accumulate substantial wealth is to use that money to help homeless, abused and abandoned dogs.

Milo also taught me humility. As I stand on a platform, having just finished giving a 90-minute talk to an audience of hundreds, getting a standing ovation from the admiring crowd and getting a paycheck equal to many people's annual salary, I clearly keep in mind that at the same time on the next day ...

I'll be back in my yard, cleaning up dog poop left by the dozen rescue dogs now in our care.

Thank you Milo.

=================================================

Hope you enjoyed Paul's wisdom.

Chip’s B2B Tip #81 - Search Engine Bourbon

.
B2B Tip #81 - A Toddy for the SE Body
.
Rumors and reports have it that Google is at it again, this time slowly releasing a new update they've code- named 'Bourbon.'

So - if you see your site doing some dancing in the results during June, now you know one reason why this might be occurring.

You might try to keep up with this topic through your favorite SE. It would be funny if Goggle indexed its own 'leaks' and helped you find them though - wouldn't it.

Chip’s B2B Tip #80 - Corey Rudl is Dead at 34

.
B2B Tip #80 - Good-Bye, Corey
.

Corey Rudl died yesterday. Corey was a big-time marketer on and off the Web.

I understand all too well how his new bride must feel after my experience in February 2005. Here's the link if you want to read the article. It's a really long link, so you'll might have to copy n paste it.

http://www.latimes.com/news/local/state/la-me-speedway3jun03,1,3734695.story?coll=la-news-state&ctrack=1&cset=true.

Good-bye, Corey.

I met Corey a year ago in Orlando. I own his landmark Internet Marketing Course. Corey was a fascinating and brilliant guy. But I'm most concerned for his new wife.

And I'm concerned for you. The Bible says that "Tomorrow Is Guaranteed to No One."

TODAY - tell the people you love that you love them. Do what you planned to do 'some day' today if you can. Be sure you know where you're going if such an accident should befall you.

Please ...

Tomorrow is guaranteed to no one. Putting your affairs in order today is a wise course of action. If all your tomorrows are safe and happy, you've already done something important.

If your tomorrows hold something unexpected, you've done something wise today by getting your affairs in order and keeping them in order.

May the Lord Bless you and keep you, and make His face to shine upon you.

Good-Bye, Corey You'll be missed.
