“X” Marks the Spot! [COMPETITION]
by Gary ~ December 16th, 2008
Alright, alright, alright!
Enough emails askin’ me about this “PROJECT X” on the sly. Gee some people are sneaky. LOL!
I know many of you are wanting to know. I know I have been clandestine. I know I have been somewhat mysterious about this.
Project X is well and truly on steroids now. It is VERY advanced but I can’t release it yet. I want to make sure it is WORTHY of distribution to the troops coz it has awesome application to what we are all doing. So, I am gonna do something very scary for me… (deep breath)… I’m gonna… (I can hardly bear to do this)… OUTSOURCE the last bit.
I reckon I’m OK with the words and layout but I am SHIZENHOUZEN (made up “German” word for … well, you can guess) with e-Book covers and the like. So, I have a dude lined up but he can’t do anything till next week. Gee, you’d think it was getting close to Christmas, or something.
So, to prevent all those folks who have a sardine on their tongue (ie sitting there with baited breath) from asking, I have decided to do a little COMPETITION here. Here are the rules:
1 – You get to ask ONE simple question – no multiple Q’s (ie no “if not, why not?” stuff)
2 – I get to answer YES, NO or MAYBE.
3 – If my answer is MAYBE then you may just have to be a little more specific.
Wanna play?
Regards
Gary
PS1: If you ask your question then that’s it – only ONE per person. But you can come back and comment on what others have said. I just won’t answer you directly. Oh, ALSO, just to SPICE THINGS UP – to the FIRST person who drags it right out of me I will give you a prize. It will be something that I have done that has received accolades from all over the world so you will more than likely really like it yourself. I will send the prize privately via email and I will NAME the winner right here so it will be all above board, so to speak.

Just to kick things off I will ask the first question – a real dumb one – just to give you all the hang of things.
Did you write this yourself Gary?

Well, it sounded like your flash of inspiration came when you saw a some kangaroos bounding around out in “Noof Noof”….
So…does your Project X have something to do with bouncing around on blogs and website traffic? Like Alex Jeffrey’s rig-hopping concept?
I tell you what–I’m feeling like a kangaroo myself jumping around all these blogs right now!!
Adam
P.S. Thanks again for your comment on my contest and special bonus for all of the students over at my blog.

Alright Gary you’ve got me darned jealous of that weather in perth!
It’s 14 above zero here in Klamath Falls Oregon and its only 9pm!
6 inches of snow with a nice thick layer of ice on all the roads!
As for PROJECT X, Could this be a method where we drive masive traffic as a group or community?
Well you’ve got my guess mate!
I’ll be back to monitor the rest of questions.
Thanks for dropping by my site too!

mmmmm.. thinking, thinking thinking…..mmmmm
Okay, what about this for a question Gary Simpson?
Is project X about List Building?

December 16th, 2008 at 8:32 am
Hi Gary,
So many blogs, so little time… It’s getting more and more difficult to keep up with what everyone is doing, while working on one’s own business
I haven’t got a clue what this might be, so I’ll just have a wild stab in the dark.
Is it about creating a product?
December 16th, 2008 at 8:33 am
Click click click…..brain turning over.
Hah hah! I have it…Is it showing how to write well and be as witty just like you or does that come naturally?

December 16th, 2008 at 8:47 am
Hey Gary
Great game- and here’s my question:
Is it to do with motivational, focusing and planning i.e. the info that Alex was talking about in the first module?
Nigel
December 16th, 2008 at 8:49 am
Oh here’s another one – you didn’t say what the limits were for how many question each person could submit:
Is it to do with anything related to setting goals in life and how to get there?
December 16th, 2008 at 8:51 am
Right final one and I’ll leave it at that as I’m late for the college run,
What about – mindset?
All the best
Nigel
December 16th, 2008 at 10:01 am
You didn’t think I wouldn’t spoil your Project X Project after what you did to me Gary Simpson!!….
LISTEN UP EVERYBODY….GARY TOLD ME WHAT HIS PROJECT X IS ABOUT……
Heres the Answer……
Well, he said that he was going to sit down and write a entire book based on ………………….. just tricking!!!
There, I got you back good and proper Gary Simpson.
You had all better go and see just what horrible things he’s been up to at my place. Then you will understand why I am crying.

Hi Garry, Well I did get called Hammy about 30 years ago! but you can call me Hammo if you wish!! I am really pushing now to get more content up on the site and I am on a roll so there should be more coming up. I am going to check up on your Project X ASAP. Thanks for coming back to the site.

Hi Gary,
I have no idea so will take my cue from your comments on my blog. Is it about branding? Either that or 3×5 cards, lol!
Cheers
Garry has me busy with the newsletter list but will have some time later in the week.

p.s. If I can help with the cover let me know, I not a pro though as you are aware

Mark

December 16th, 2008 at 12:16 pm
Hey Gary (& Mark as well)
I didn’t realise I was breaking the rules until I posted the question and re-read the post afterwards. But even so I don’t mind, competiton prize is great but my main aim to simply find out what project X is about.
So if I’m right which I’m probably wrong anyway, then it’s fine, because I’ll be disqualified anyway and it means that your odds of winning are higher as it’s now 1/499 chances of winning the prize and not 1/500 lol.
Best Regards

Okey-dokey,
Just been out with my wifey-poo for a meal with our beautiful daughter who has just returned from her honeymoon with our new son-in-law. They went to Paris, Milan, Florence, Rome, Prague and Dubai. Looked at about 1,000 photos. WOW! What a time the newlyweds had. Sensational!
OK Down to business…
Round 1 coming up. Here are the results…
Coleen – NO. – not list building.
Carl – NO. – not about creating a product, though it IS a product, naturally.
Doug – NO. – oddly enough it is not about writing or being witty or nit-witty – LOL! But thanks for the compliment!
Nigel – MAYBE. – you are warm, almost hot but not red hot. You are on the right track. But how many shots do you want? Talk about using a shotgun!
Nigel – NO. – now you’ve gone cold. Hey, what am I doing? You ONLY get ONE shot!
Coleen – NO. – as the “snitch” would say – Like… DER!
Paul – Hammo – NO. – you didn’t even try to guess!
Mark – NO. – not about branding. That idea was for you, my friend. Thanks for the kind offer though. Hey, and I REALLY like your e-book cover. I just could not impose myself on your time. I can see what you are up against. You should see my email box. Good grief!
Mark – Some folks can’t help themselves – LOL!
Nigel – NO. – Not YOU again! LOL. You have been the CLOSEST so far but now you are DQ’d – LOL!
OK. That was the first round. Work on Nigel’s effort folks.

Great game Garry, is X about planning and creating pre-launch buzz?
December 16th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
Hi Gary,
Okay, you’ve talked me into it. I’m going to throw my hat in the ring here too…lol. So I hear Nigel is on the right track with this.
Something to do with mindset. I’ve been thinking about mindset a lot lately and just listened to excerpts from the audio cd of the Secret, and I’m going to have to say that project X is about the Power of positive thinking, especially with regard to this massive group that we have formed.
December 16th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
Hi Gary
Great job on the pre-launch!
Is Project X to help people with the mechanics of setting up their own system for keeping on top of everything?
Looking forward to finding out!

Hi, Gary,
Does it have to do with Zenspiration?
Also…
This is out of place, however, I wanted to make sure you saw my note of appreciation.
Thanks for your comment on my blog about the security code, ie, captcha.
I did not know it was there until you told me about it. When you told me the first time, I thought you meant the moderation requirement. I am using Jeff Johnson’s free SEO blog software, just as Colleen is. Johnson says that he has put a lot of stuff in his free software to boost traffic. I think I’m going to switch to the regular wordpress.
I found and deactivated the plugin that was asking for the security code.
Thanks again for letting me know.
Thanks,
Joan

Hey Gaz-Man,
I’ve been on to Parkesy’s blog and have looked at my avatar – I easily rival you for spindly-ness! Rubbish! Have a look when you get a chance.
My question to you – is Project X about beating procrastination and using positive thinking?

Howdy again folks – Round 2 coming up. Here are the results…
Martin – MAYBE – I can see the value in pre-launch buzz and that’s a little bit of what I am doing here. You and Nigel have been closest so far. But Nige is a double-triple-dipper and he has been DQ’d – LOL
Anthony – MAYBE – Again, you are close but, unlike Bill Clinton (or was that Monica Whats-Her-Name?), no cigar.
James – MAYBE – THAT answer was VERY close. You are in the lead so far.
Joan – MAYBE – Ha! Ha! I know where you have been peeking! Therefore I know that you know about some of the secrets that I have been harbouring. Hmm. Well, there is some of that stuff included.
Nikki – MAYBE – You are close too – but not close enough. As for the avatar commotion over at Parkesy’s – YEP. That was good old “Yours Truly” who started that. And I have responded with even more madness over there. Take a look – LOL!
And that concludes Round 2.
Thanks to everyone who has contributed.

Message to Joan – Joan I am so glad that you de-activated that security code. I often work late into the night and I remember trying three times with one of those codes and it rejected me EVERY time. I had my nose just about on the screen trying to decipher it.
The letters and numbers are there to deceive the stupid spamming machines that stupid spammers use but they also hold up progress for us.
I have reached the point now where I just don’t have time for games like that. I’ll try a couple of times and if I can’t read the hazed out and squiggly-diggly code I just X out. So, well done on disabling that annoying “feature.” You are most welcome Joan. I’d hate to see you getting left behind over it.

Gary
We’ve got quite a few clues now- organisation – mindset – planning
I think you are providing us with a database: you’re going to show us the process we should be going through to set our goals and then show us how to list them and monitor how and when we achieve them
I’m looking forward to that prize gary.
Bring it on.
Sorry to the rest of you
Best Wishes
Joe
December 16th, 2008 at 10:39 pm
Hi Joe – You are about a bee’s d*ck away from getting this. You are SO close but it isn’t a database.

Hi Gary,
I’ll carry on from Joe and say it is an ebook which includes a spreadsheet of the process, etc.
Cheers,
Dean Hohn
December 17th, 2008 at 7:09 am
Hi Dean – NO. Sorry Dean I hate spreadsheets. But it IS an e-book – LOL! Also, I saw your comment over at Parkesy’s about Mud Crabs. I laughed at that. You left drool over there. LOL!

Ok Gary,
I since I have read this far I will see if I can get the investment to payoff.
So Nigel is the closest, and in ‘nooh nooh’ or wherever you were, you said you were drawing lines . . .
I would have to say it is definately a book about a mastermind blog-linking JV sort of a thing.
That’s one thing, look again – no commas!
Oh, and you said to post here and you would add me to your blog roll. I think I’m the last one!

Hey Gaz-man,
Safely back from the parents now – and I’ve just uploaded my second post (and mentioned this thread in there!). Go see!
I’ve tried getting onto Parkesy’s blog to see what madness you’ve put in after my lame avatar, but it won’t let me at the mo…boo!
Catch you later,
Nix from the Nickelodeon
December 17th, 2008 at 1:42 pm
Hi John – Crikey! you said:
Well, you got the book part 100% but I’m still scratching my head wondering about the next bit. Can you add some epexegesis to that? I’m totally confused.
John, I’m doing blogroll additions on the weekend. I have so many to do so I’m gonna whack them all up at once. Best I can do at the moment.
Hi Nix – I’ve just been over to the Nickelodeon. You wrote a nice post over there and I told everyone so. Oh… that avatar stuff on Parkesy’s blog is sending me into orbit. I could write a whole mad e-book on that. It is so funny – well, to me at least. Maybe I could write the e-book and just read it myself for laughs – LOL!
Speaking of nice weblogs – coz you definitely have one – folks just go over to Brian Welsh’s blog HERE and you will see some very remarkable graphics. Brian is a newcomer and he only has ONE comment on his blog right now – mine – so PLEASE… go and have a look and leave a comment for him to get him started. It is DEFINITELY worth a LOOK!
BTW – Nixster… when are we gonna get a peek at you? I checked your ABOUT ME page and there was zippity-do-dah in it.

Gaz-Man,
Not sure people could handle the sight of me!! Or is it more the fact that I don’t know how to put an image into my About Me post…hmm…or a bit of both…
My pic is on my Twitter page, so for those of you that are linked in there with me then you’ll have seen me – what do you reckon, think people can handle the truth?!
Nixster from the Nickelodeon.
PS – If anyone can tell me how to easily upload a pic to that page then I’ll think about it!
December 17th, 2008 at 3:34 pm
Hi Garry,
Just added you to my roll of honour! I will be forever grateful to you for being the first ‘Alexateer’ to visit my Blog.
Thank you for the kind words.
If you want me to help you with the cover of your eBook just let me know! I am new to the software but between the two of us I reckon we could make a good job!

December 17th, 2008 at 5:41 pm
Hi Gary,
Me again, playing guessing games when I should be working… Maybe Project X would keep me on task…? Is the ebook about setting up a hard-copy, real-world system which doesn’t rely on a computer, to keep you on track with time management, goals and priorities ?

Hi Bri Hmm. You weren’t there a few minutes ago when I answered Nikki and Nigel.
Brian, you are most welcome. I don’t like to see anybody languishing behind. You have a MOST brilliant site design and I wanted others to see it and how clever you have been.
Folks, go to BRIAN’S BLOGSITE and check it out. It is WONDERFUL.
I might take you up on that e-book cover design. What would you need for me to do?
BTW – “Alexateers” – heh…heh… I can see I could have some fun with you… making up words and generally torturing the English language.
Welcome aboard Bri!

I did it Gary
I finally started writing my ebook. I owe it all to the students whose work I’ve come to admire and of course to our conversation about it the other day over here.
I made a post on my blog affirming my mission to everyone…oh boy now I’m accountable to everyone…ahhhh
Really though, I made the commitment to myself and started writing today so I decided nothing will keep me focused like everyone knowing what I’m up to.
It’d be great if you could stop by and give me some feedback.

G’day Gary!
Well, it IS a good day – finally I got something right! Hope I can do that in my webbery and bloggery now as well, instead of feeling like I’m banging my head against the wall most of the time!
Thanks for coming over to mine to tell me of my Project X success, and congratulations on yours. A good example to us all – acting on
inspiration, working hard to complete the project, and nurturing interest without using hype. And giving us a few moments off to play, into the bargain!
All the best,

Hi James,
Congratulations!
Now all I have to do is award you a prize from my “armoury.” Heh…heh…
I’ll give you a choice. I have got loads of goodies. Just send me an email and we will see what you would like. Tell me initially what your interests are and I might be able to find something appropriate to your liking. It might take a couple of emails to sort it out. But we’ll get it agreed upon.
I was considering a copy of the “Power of Choice” as it is my favourite e-book that I have written to date. Even I get inspired when I re-read it. Anyway, it’s up to you. Just get in touch privately via email.
Yes it’s good to have a bit of fun every now and then amid this chaos as it often feels like we are so bogged down with trying to get everything done at breakneck speed. Me? I am going fast loading content and working behind the scenes on many things.
The cruddy old clapped-out Skoda that I am driving here will get dumped soon for something… well, just wait and see. I have seen a lot of Ferrari and Porsche blogsites out there so I know what I am up against. LOL!
Finally, thanks for your kind words. I do try my best for everyone.
