* Who’s to say that you can’t be watering your garden and as a result of that pure joy you have when doing this, you get a new client and your business continues to grow along with your flowers?
* Who’s to say that you can’t be doing absolutely nothing (but thoroughly enjoying that “nothing”) and as a result one of your biggest dreams start to unfold?
* Who’s to say that “goofing off” is not productive? What if “goofing off” and loving every minute of it was the most productive thing you could do?
* Who’s to say that daydreaming is futile/useless and is only for the lazy people who want to live in their delusional world? What if living in that “delusional world” is exactly what will bring you what you want in life?!
* Who’s to say that you have to join a dating site to meet your perfect mate? Maybe you just have to follow what will bring you joy for that day, go to a coffee shop and enjoy your coffee with your favorite scone and BAM .. he or she just shows up?
* Who’s to say that you have to eat all the right foods to be healthy? What if you just had to think the right thoughts to do the same? What if having that healthy and fit body wasn’t so damn hard and it was easier than you thought?
* Who’s to say that when you are diagnosed with a chronic health condition that it has to change your life for the worst? You can treat it like “just another bump in the road” like I did and turn it into one of your greatest success stories!
* Who’s to say that growing your business is about doing all the right marketing things? What if growing your business was conditional on one thing and one thing only … that you were feeling JOY with every action step you take?
* Who’s to say that you can’t have it all? Maybe you can “have it all” and then some!
* Who’s to say that when your day didn’t turn out the way you wanted it to that it was a wasted day? Maybe those series of events that seemed like pointless detours are the exact pathway to manifesting what you want… if only you could RELAX about how your day went and embrace the attitude of “it is what it is”!
* Who’s to say that the YOU have to figure it all out? What if YOU just made feeling good your #1 priority and as a result of that the Universe delivered to you the HOW of unfolding your dream!
* Who’s to say that money can’t just show up out of nowhere? It happens all the time. It can! I am sending you a “You’ve Got Money” vibe right now! You just have to be open to receiving money by loving your life and treating money with abundant love, knowing that it will always be there to take care of you.
* Who’s to say that you have to work hard to get all the luxuries of life? I know people that “play hard” and get all the same things. And they are happier than the ones that work hard! Isn’t happiness the ultimate goal any way? Isn’t being happy the “luxury” we all are looking for?
* Who’s to say that anything that you believe that doesn’t feel good is the law of the land? It isn’t! If it doesn’t feel good, then you need a new story and that my friend, is the key to getting everything you want!
3 Tips – Did YOU know?…….
Quite often my friends and clients contact me for various things…often advice.
My friends will ask technical, internet, software types of questions because I am a low-level addict to the computer and often I can provide quick tips and suggestions.
My clients, will seek advice, opinions, and research, because they know I am always seeking new knowledge for quick, innovative ways to make and save money.
Here are ’3′ tips of some of those things that I often take for granted. I thought I’d share and hopefully it may help others.
Did you know… You can send a file via email to places like Office Depot and Office Max to have it printed vs. carrying the file in there on a CD, or flash drive. This can be a convenience when the drives don’t work or to save time. Another scenario could be you need to print a resume or an important document, but you don’t have a printer?
- Maybe you have a printer and it’s out of ink.
- Maybe you have a printer and ink, but you don’t have resume paper
- Maybe the document is for marketing and you need several high quality copies
Call your favorite office store and see what arrangements you can make..Normally they will process it rather quickly.
Did you know….. There is a free tool that can be added to your website that people can use to schedule time with you without calling? It’s called Tungle.me. I absolutely love it as it syncs with my Gmail calendar and shows time that I am available. There are settings in it that you can customize to your liking. Another tool that saves time.
Did you know….. You can use logo software to create headers for websites, buttons, and other images that you may want to create in a particular size. The sky’s the limit. I created the header for this blog in my $40 logo software. There are many font choices and easy to use. If you have some creativity, you can save time and money to create unique items with this software.
Did you know…. There is a plugin for a free ecommerce shopping cart that works with Pay Pal?
- WP e-Commerce Plugin – is a free bolt-on shopping cart that lets customers buy your products, services and digital downloads online. There are several options in the settings and it is pretty easy to work with. This has been one of the easiest shopping carts I have ever worked with. This is for WordPress websites…The developers have excellent documentation and videos to help get you started. If you are already using wordpress and now want to sell on your site items such as e-books, jewelry…you gotta try this. Check out the plugin website.
I would LOVE to hear your feedback on any of these tips…please share with me!
Background Color And Other Factors That Probably Don’t Matter When It Comes To Copywriting
This is something I am constantly seeking to learn more about…thought this may be helpful – I enjoyed this article!
If you’ve only written a handful of sales letters or maybe even none, you could literally drive yourself crazy trying to get everything perfect the first time. What background color should you use? What template should you use? What font? How many graphics? What color should your headline be? There are tons of factors to consider when writing your sales letter, but the good news is you don’t have to get it right the first time.
What do I mean by that? I mean pick something and split test it. I’m a firm believer that the words you say on your sales letter are a lot more important than the way it looks. Is it important to have a professional-looking webpage to make yourself look more credible? Of course it is. But when you’re making changes, it’s more important to have a headline that grabs attention and says something than it is to change designs. You should be split testing the words on your sales letter, not the graphics.
An easy way to figure out what your sales letter should look like is to look at your competitors. What do their web pages look like? Do they all stick to certain colors? For example, when I look at many internet marketing letters, I see mostly white and blue. But when I look at Forex or stock trading sales letters, I see a lot of green and yellow. I’m not sure why this is but if most people in that niche use those colors, then most customers in that niche are used to seeing those colors as well and you should follow their lead. And when it comes down to it, choose a template and stick to it.
You don’t need to be slowed down when you want to launch a new product or write a new sales letter waiting for graphics to get finished. Have a design made for one product and reuse that on all your other sales letters to give all your products consistent branding.
The background color on your sales letter really doesn’t matter that much. You should instead split test important headlines, words, components, and phrases; imitate what your competitors do; and stick with the template.
Focus on what really matters: getting a sales letter written in record time. I want to show you how to do this at: http://www.fastfoodcopywriting.com

Productivity vs Efficiency – Bring Efficiency to Your Business
In today’s world, there is always so much to do ALL the time, and it’s important to feel some sort of relief. It’s a wonder how many solopreneuers make money and keep up with the day to day tasks. It definitely is an admirable skill for those that are going it alone and still making things happen. In many cases, we don’t have a choice as we are trying to continue to grow and build regardless of individual circumstances. Of course, ultimately we create teams to assist and increase our efficiency.
It occurred to me is there a need to increase productivity to be more efficient, or is it increasing efficiency and becoming more productive? What is the difference?
“Productivity” is the “amount” of products produced in a certain amount of time. Those products could be physical products or virtual – such as writing articles or blogs. Basically the count of items completed. If you are begin working as a team with someone one, efficiency is gained as the productivity items are completed and more is accomplished.
“Efficiency” is based on the “energy” spent to complete the production of the products or service as well as timing. Create a process. For example, if there is a process or system created for writing and posting on a blog, each time the task is needed and completed utilizing the established process, it will be completed quicker and efficiently. Efficiency will definitely reduce stress and ensure accuracy – once the process is defined. You know you have achieved efficiency when you are getting more done in a shorter period of time…less energy-better results.
My personal philosopy – Meet every challenge – Increase efficiency!
It is not always easy to do, I continuously strive to be more efficient. It does get easier, the more I stick to a plan/process. Just one example that I utilize to bring efficiency to my daily routine/business.
- Gmail. I love Gmail. I use that email address for just about everything that I sign up for online primarily because I know that I can be efficient with it.
- I create filters for emails that I receive and send that are important and I want to be able to find them quickly.
- In some cases, I create specific filters like ”Marketing”. This one filter will contain several different people that I like to keep up with.
- I also add a color to that filter so it stands out. It’s similar to creating a rule in Outlook.
- Once the filter is built, click on that filter on the left, click on ”archive” (see the top drop down). By archiving, it removes the emails out of your Inbox and keeps them in the filter/folder that you have now created.
- Periodically when I want to clean out my inbox, I go through all of them and just archive…It significantly reduces items sitting in my Inbox and allows me a process of reviewing my emails according to their importance. It also allows me to see what really is junk and no longer needs to be in my email…so I typically will “unsubscribe” to those.
I continuously strive to be more efficient for myself and my clients to save time for both of us. I am always open to learning new things, please share your ideas and suggestions in the comment box below…I’d love to converse about that-it is truly one of my favorite topics! Let’s help each other be efficient.
