			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Please bear with me here coz I think I have some information for you that you can benefit from&#8230;</p>
<p>Whether you love him, like him or loathe him one thing is CERTAIN &#8211; <strong>Alex Jeffreys</strong> is going to be a force to be reckoned with on the Internet for many years to come.</p>
<p>Oh, I KNOW you may be getting <strong>POUNDED</strong> mercilessly with emails about his latest coaching course and his pre-launch book called <strong>&#8220;The Guru&#8217;s Nightmare&#8221;</strong> and all the razzamatazz that goes with a major launch. But HEY &#8211; that&#8217;s the Internet. It happens. I get them all too! <strong>I get many 100&#8217;s of emails a day.</strong> I&#8217;m not immune to getting all manner of promos &#8211; day in, day out.</p>
<p>Well, here&#8217;s my take on it. You can get aggro, annoyed, peeved, saturated, poly-unsaturated&#8230; whatever. But, why not do the SMART thing?</p>
<p>What&#8217;s that Gazza?</p>
<p>Take <strong>ADVANTAGE</strong> of it all! Learn HOW he does all this stuff. Study it. See how it all goes together. Learn from it. Educate yourself. And a good starting point is to download his latest e-book and read it:</p>
<p>===> <a href="http://www.gangsta.motivationselfesteem.com">ALEX JEFFREYS&#8217;  The Guru&#8217;s Nightmare &#8211; Time to Put the Horse&#8217;s head in the Guru&#8217;s Bed</a></p>
<p>Yeah, I KNOW it has spelling mistakes. Lotsa people have told me that. OK. There&#8217;s spelling mistakes. He swears a bit in it too. The guy makes buckets of cash. So shouldn&#8217;t that give <strong>YOU</strong> hope?</p>
<p><strong>Don&#8217;t let little things stand in your path.</strong> </p>
<p>Something else&#8230; you know what I have found over ALL the countless hours I have spent on the Internet? The ones who get the angriest and the most frustrated, negative and downright ABUSIVE   are the ones who&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; <strong>are making NO money</strong>. And they take it out on the messengers &#8211; people like me.</p>
<p>All I have ever done is write a stack of e-books, reports, manuals, courses etc based on my own experiences and knowledge. Yet I still get comments like this when certain people unsubscribe:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Hey, you thing who call yourself gary. Suck my A**!&#8221; </em></p></blockquote>
<p>Nice huh? [That was word-for-word BTW]</p>
<p>I see that as a VERY frustrated  and anguished cry for help. Abusive yes. Nasty yes. VERY nasty actually! Could I help a person like that? Maybe.</p>
<p>Then again, maybe they are SO aggro, negative and nasty that it just clouds their every waking moment. Maybe they are oblivious to OPPORTUNITY because of their internal anger and frustration.</p>
<p>SHOULD I help somebody like that? <strong>Would you?</strong></p>
<p>There are SO many wonderful people in this world &#8211; people just like you who just want a bit of a clue and some information that will help them on their own online journey. And that&#8217;s what I TRY to do here&#8230; at this place I vicariously call the TEMPLE.</p>
<p>Yeah, I KNOW I crap on about things and do some crazy stuff and try to make people feel happy through laughter. Or make them roll their eyes north with some of the things I do and say.</p>
<p><strong>Oh, I FEEL a philosphical moment coming on &#8230;</strong></p>
<p>[PHILOSOPHICAL MOMENT]</p>
<p>In the overall context of all things past, present and future, life is really short. So why not have fun?</p>
<p>[END OF PHILOSOPHICAL MOMENT]</p>
<p>I see so many grumpy-asses in my travels and you know what? I actually feel sorry for these people because by their own volition they are having a stinking, miserable, loser of a life. Why? Huh? Why should that be so? It&#8217;s their choice.</p>
<p>Oh, and while I am on that very subject &#8211; <strong>CHOICE!</strong> See that e-book over there <strong>&#8220;The Power of Choice&#8221;</strong> ? Have a look. It&#8217;s just over there (on the left). IF you haven&#8217;t read that then you are REALLY missing out on some powerful stuff. I was on fire when I wrote that. I honestly believe I had some sort of divine power running through me when I penned that. [I do occasionally have my moments and that SURE was one of them...] </p>
<p>I won&#8217;t say any more about it other than to tell you that <strong>it has gone into over 40 countries</strong> (at last count &#8211; about 2 years ago) over the 8 years it has been available online and the comments I have received have been <strong>PHENOMENAL!</strong></p>
<p>Anyway, I won&#8217;t detain you any longer with my musings. Except&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; soon I hope to have a product available that will teach you <strong>step-by-step</strong> how you can make your first HUNGE ($100) online. It&#8217;s a manual I have been slaving away over for the last 3 days. And no, it won&#8217;t be free. Sorry. But the last 7 e-books I have created HAVE been free. I don&#8217;t really wanna be known as the free-whore. I have expenses on the Internet too. </p>
<p>I reckon if I can show you <strong>step-by-step</strong> the best method of how to make your FIRST hundred bucks then that&#8217;s gotta be worth something. And then you can make another $100 and then another $100 and so on. So <strong>that&#8217;s DEFO gotta be worth something</strong>. You see, I talk to people a LOT and I get texts and emails [and carrier pigeon messages - only joking!] from SO many people who are SO frustrated because not only have they NOT made a hundred shmucks &#8211; <strong>they have made JACK SH*T!</strong> And they are frustrated and even embarrased about it. So, tell me&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; do you think a manual like that would be helpful to you and what do you think something like that should be worth? Be fair. I&#8217;ll take whatever comments (or emails) people tell me into consideration.</p>
<p>As usual, my Best Wishes to you, </p>

<p><strong>PS:</strong> If you haven&#8217;t checked out Alex Jeffreys e-book then take a look. It costs NOTHING to look. The book is free and you can learn a few things from it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well&#8230; the &#8220;<strong>Marketing With Alex 3.0</strong>&#8221; seminars were held on the 25th &#038; 26th January 2010. And I have just gotten home after what seems like days on planes to get there and back. In fact, it <strong>WAS</strong> days from where I live in Perth, Western Australia! Was it just May and June 2009 that we were there last time? Gee &#8211; how time FLIES (a little pun &#8211; doesn&#8217;t matter).</p>
<p>Incidentally, I didn&#8217;t take my laptop overseas this time because of all the security issues with taking it in and out of the case and through those damn security scanners. That was both good and bad. Good that it saved me a bunch of time &#8211; bad in that I just looked and I have 3,172 unread emails in just 1 week! Heh&#8230; heh&#8230; but I do have a whole bunch of ones that say: <strong>&#8220;Notification of Payment Received.&#8221;</strong> NICE!</p>
<p>Back to the topic of my discussion&#8230; the <strong>Alex Jeffreys Internet Marketing</strong> seminars in Las Vegas&#8230;</p>
<p>Now, from memory, I think it was 26 people who attended the Marketing With Alex 2.0 seminars last time. Those &#8220;saddling up&#8221; a second time were <strong>Alex Jeffreys</strong> (of course), my good mate <strong>Garry Parkes</strong> (of course), me (of course &#8211; DUH!), <strong>Dean &#8220;Tatts&#8221; Holland</strong>, <strong>Dan &#8220;the Mothman&#8221; Briffa</strong>, <strong>Adam Spiel</strong>, <strong>Ross Carrell</strong>, <strong>Rob Brookes</strong>, <strong>JT Martin</strong> and <strong>Jit Uppal</strong>. <strong>Mike Ottman</strong> was supposed to be with us all a second time also but, unfortunately, due to family reasons was a last minute withdrawal.</p>
<p>This year, in addition to those mentioned above, we also had &#8211; in NO particular order (and I am SORRY if I have missed anybody out!) &#8211; Stephanie Mulac (a speaker), Rodger Hyatt (invited guest), Vance Sova, Josh Bartlett, Joe Fier, Matt &#8220;the Wolfman&#8221; Wolfe, Marc &#8220;the Magician&#8221; Milburn, Marcus &#8220;Pass&#8221; Passey (yes &#8211; he is just as bad in REAL life &#8211; LOL), Dean Oram, Brad &#8220;the Zombie&#8221; Burnie, David Walker (our new food CRITIC!), Paul Wilson, Graeme Ashe, Daylynne Starr, Sue Worthington, Guy Hague, Jed (Clampett) Lamont, Anthony Smits, Dan Tredo, David Chamberlain, Glenn (John) Wayne, Rex (Spielsy&#8217;s buddy), Randy Koehler (invited guest), Jacqueline, Kadir, Graham Sutherland, Jean Shaw (far more beautiful &#8220;in the flesh&#8221; &#8211; don&#8217;t get any nasty ideas &#8211; her hubby Malcolm was also there LOL), Steve &#8220;the Singer&#8221; (God, you are LOUD mate! &#8211; who drifted over from Mike Filsaime&#8217;s events), Erylynne and Karen Woodward. [<strong>Late inclusion</strong>: I inadvertently missed out Rob Bradley - sorry Rob!]</p>
<p>So, what a motley crew! As usual, most of the &#8220;activity&#8221; centered around the bar &#8211; instead of the New York, New York bar from last time, this year our &#8220;pick up&#8221; joint (and MORE on THAT later! &#8211; oh dear&#8230;) was the <strong>Kokomos Bar</strong>, diagonally opposite the check-in counter at the <strong>Mirage Resort Casino</strong> where most of us stayed. I am absolutely certain that some JV partnerships were &#8220;born&#8221; there &#8211; LOL! Er&#8230; and some &#8220;other&#8221; alliances. Most notably, Parkesy (formerly Saint Parkes &#8211; it&#8217;s only a joke folks&#8230;) and I seemed to be in the THICK of it and the prime targets for the &#8220;ladies of the night.&#8221; Undoubtedly they saw us two as the suavest, most debonair and most sophisticated of the Gangsta&#8217;s peeps. Or&#8230; maybe we just looked like desperados, or something. (I always seem to &#8220;attract&#8221; this unwanted attention&#8230; I wonder why? Hmm. No doubt <strong>her Royal Purpleness</strong> will offer something here&#8230; what&#8217;s the bet?) So, Parkesy, if ya don&#8217;t want the attention DON&#8217;T hang out with YOU-KNOW-WHO!</p>
<p>Anyway, I SWEAR one woman spoke to me in words and terms that NO lady has EVER spoken to me before. OMG! Anyway, without belabouring the point I think (after the shock wore off &#8211; like about 1 minute) I returned fire as good as I got without sinking to the level that our new found friend &#8220;Lisa&#8221; descended to (pun intended). If that was her real name I&#8217;ll walk to New Orleans &#8211; as the song goes &#8211; next time. If there is a next time&#8230;</p>
<p>Anyway&#8230; backing up the truck a bit&#8230;</p>
<p>I got to Vegas on Thursday the 21st coz I had the furthest to fly &#8211; Perth to Sydney, Sydney to San Francisco (16 hours with 13 of those right next to an overweight mumma &#8211; lay off the extra fries darls &#8211; with a kid that SCREAMED non-stop &#8211; the <strong>LITTLE DARLING!</strong>) Holey-moley! Everyone in about a 30 seat radius was affected by this kid&#8217;s stentorian, maniacal and RELENTLESS screaming! Eff-me! Oh&#8230; then from Frisco to Vegas (can you tell I&#8217;m a seasoned visitor to the &#8220;States&#8221;? LOL) another thing happened&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; after being dead-dog tired and worn out by young Hercules AND having two Japanese women throw their gutses up in the seats in front of me upon landing in San Fran &#8211; an EXTRA 2 hours was added to our trip from SF to Vegas coz the weather had closed in. So, TWO MORE hours just sitting on the deck on the plane waiting for McCarran (Vegas airport) to open. Like I said before &#8211; HOLEY EFFEN MOLEY! Just what I needed huh?</p>
<p>Well, I arrived in Vegas, caught a cab to the hotel. It was p155ing down with rain and the cabbie&#8217;s vehicle had about an inch of water in the back seat foot well. Jokingly (though he FAILED to see the funny side of it) I asked him if he had a complimentary snorkel and a pair of flippers for me &#8211; maybe that was why we went the LONG way and it cost me $30! AND my feet were soaked!</p>
<p>So, I did a quick name check with the Concierge desk and determined that I was FIRST in. Hey! I&#8217;ll take any small victory.</p>
<p>Now, I know you are all gonna wanna know about the seminars but they were the &#8220;official&#8221; bits. Oh OK. Here&#8217;s a real quick round up&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Alex Jeffreys</strong> &#8211; good opening, quick howdy-doody&#8230; enough said. </p>
<p><strong>Gazza Parkes</strong> was &#8220;Master of Ceremonies&#8221; introducing all the speakers &#8211; a sterling job Mister Parkes but, what else would we expect?</p>
<p><strong>Stephanie Mulac</strong> &#8211; two sessions &#8211; both of them fantabulous! Steph spoke about looking after your list and gave some excellent tips and advice. I was scribbling madly (as usual!). Thanks for the credos from the stage too Steph. Much appreciated what you said coz I did do a lot of that stuff that you mentioned. I can&#8217;t seem to help myself. LOL!</p>
<p>The <strong>Jitster</strong> &#8211; great info on list-building and adswapping. Well done mate!</p>
<p><strong>Deano</strong> and <strong>Spielsy</strong> &#8211; awesome overview of their Turbo Traffic system.</p>
<p>Stephanie and Rodger Hyatt (both JV buddies of mine) offered excellent advice to so many people who had questions. Thanks you two. You both fitted in so well. I&#8217;m sure the MWA studeys appreciated all your answers. </p>
<p>Now &#8211; the <strong>IMPORTANT bits</strong>&#8230;</p>
<p>the usual trolling through the casinos, eating drinking, drinking, drinking &#8211; <strong>did I mention DRINKING</strong>?! And being silly (which I&#8217;m pretty good at), the <strong>Mike Filsaime</strong> &#8220;events&#8221; at the <strong>MGM</strong> and the <strong>Tao nightclub</strong>, groups of people wandering off and others asking: <em>&#8220;where has (Insert firstnamefix) got to?&#8221;</em> congregating, networking, BS&#8217;ing and generally getting to know each other a lot better. That last part is a really important factor IMO. And then&#8230; <strong>the HIGHLIGHT of the trip</strong> (again in MY opinion &#8211; and ONLY coz I orgasmized it)&#8230;</p>
<p>12 lucky dudes (me included) got to go to the Las Vegas shooting range where we fired all sorts of machine guns (a &#8220;grease gun&#8221;,&#8221; some crappy Swedish machine gun that jammed more than it worked &#8211; hope nobody attacks the Swedes in a hurry if THAT is the best they&#8217;ve got! &#8211; a DELUXE M16 and an MPK-5, I think, from memory) PLUS the Israeli made Desert Eagle .50 cal handgun &#8211; <strong>KA-BOOM!</strong> Ohh&#8230; watch all the videos we all took folks. They will be ALL over the net soon! How AWESOME was that guys? Huh? <strong>I SERIOUSLY wanna do that AGAIN!</strong></p>
<p>Anyway, all too soon it was again all over red rover and we all departed Viva Las Vegas all pumped up and ready to create havoc.</p>
<p>I wrote this little round up on the last leg of my journey back home &#8211; Sydney to Perth. No screaming kid on that one. <strong>Thank you GOD!</strong></p>
<p>As <strong>Elvis</strong> would sing: <em>&#8220;Bright light city gonna set my soul, gonna set my soul on fire&#8230;&#8221;</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi there,</p>
<p>Well today marks a milestone for this lil ole blog of mine. You see <a href="http://www.motivationselfesteem.com/talk">www.motivationselfesteem.com/talk</a> is officially <strong>ONE YEAR OLD</strong> today! Yep, I started it up on the <strong>27th of November 2008</strong> after signing up to <strong>Alex Jeffreys&#8217; Internet Marketing Course</strong>.</p>
<p>Since then I have turned this site into a POWERHOUSE of <strong>Internet Marketing</strong> information &#8211; most of which is FREE. Here are <strong>just some of the highlights</strong> along the way&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>1</strong> &#8211; Back then I was getting approximately <strong>50</strong> to <strong>75</strong> visitors a day. Today I regularly get <strong>600</strong> to <strong>800</strong> per day and have had many days over <strong>900</strong> and even <strong>1,000</strong>. The biggest visitor number was last week at <strong>1,310</strong> visitors for the 24 hour period. That is high traffic!</p>
<p><strong>2</strong> &#8211; I went from having <strong>ZERO</strong> followers on <strong>Twitter</strong> to having some <strong>27,000</strong> followers now,</p>
<p><strong>3</strong> &#8211; My <strong>Alexa Ranking</strong> has gone from <strong>5,179,210</strong> on the 27th November 2008 right down to being in the top 100,000 websites in the world with a present popularity rank of <strong>92,216</strong> (and still falling like a stone) &#8211; and that is a significant achievement to be ranked 92,216th in the WORLD out of about 50,000,000 (50 million) websites!</p>
<p><strong>4</strong> &#8211; I have added content almost every week &#8211; this has drawn <strong>3,573</strong> comments in the 12 month period.</p>
<p><strong>5</strong> &#8211; I have also added many informational e-books to the blog to help people understand the concepts of copywriting, time management, adswapping, list-building, Giveaway events, motivation, inspiration, Twitter AND there are <strong>more to come</strong>!</p>
<p><strong>6</strong> &#8211; Added over a dozen educational (and sometimes funny and even raunchy) videos to make my points.</p>
<p><strong>So, little grass-hopper&#8230;</strong> IF you think you cannot build a blog from scratch to the monumental level that you see right here, then <strong>THINK AGAIN!</strong> Sure, I&#8217;m a writer &#8211; and I can write the OO&#8217;s of just about anyone on the planet (I&#8217;m not kidding when I say that either &#8211; LOL!) &#8211; but do you know <strong>what has REALLY got me here</strong>? Let me tell you&#8230; </p>
<p>&#8230; sheer discipline, the will-to-succeed, self-motivation, educating myself and a host of other things but most of all&#8230; <strong>PLAIN HARD WORK!</strong> Even the BEST of the BEST in anything will NOT win if they do not use those traits. Laziness NEVER wins anything. Remember that!</p>
<p><strong>You can do it.</strong> Do you want it bad enough? Well&#8230; do you? (I was gonna say &#8220;punk&#8221; &#8211; LOL!)</p>
<p>This blog is <strong>PROOF</strong> of what can be done in just 12 short months! <strong>Now go out and succeed!</strong></p>

<p>Well, I hope you have been enjoying my <strong>Internet Marketing</strong> tips from <strong>Las Vegas</strong>. This one is about getting yourself a <strong>mentor</strong>.</p>
<p>Now, I&#8217;ve been hinting about the existence of this video (and others) for a while now. You are in for a surprise here &#8211; oh yeah! Here I am in the spa at my <strong>luxury apartment suite at the Luxor Casino</strong>. The luxury Luxor. Oh, watch for what I do at the end&#8230; (You know something? &#8230; I can hardly believe I do these things myself <strong>*sigh*</strong> I mean &#8211; seriously &#8211; I don&#8217;t know what possesses me sometimes. Or where these dopey ideas even come from.)</p>
<p>Enough said. Watch it and see for yourself&#8230;</p>

<p>If you haven&#8217;t watched the other 7 Internet Marketing videos then they are here on my blog. In all of them I manage to say something at least half-decent about <strong>Internet marketing</strong>. (Maybe this one is half-INdecent &#8211; LOL!)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Well, my <strong>Internet Marketing</strong> topic for today may be a little boring for you but…</p>
<p>… <strong>this is just SO important</strong>. In fact, I have been thinking about it off and on most of the weekend. I wasn’t even gonna write it. Then I thought – yeah, it’s boring to me and it’s obvious to me but then I have been around the block a few times with this <strong>Internet Marketing</strong> caper. I’ve seen a lot in <strong>Internet Marketing</strong> stuff in my travels and what may be blatantly obvious to me and even boring may, in fact, be a revelation to others. So, here it is…</p>
<p><strong>BE YOURSELF</strong>. </p>
<p>Startling stuff hey? Well read on, I have some ideas and observations to throw at you and maybe a little bit of humor too&#8230;</p>
<p>Don’t be a clone of <strong><a href="http://www.marketingwithyou.com">Alex Jeffreys</a></strong> or <strong><a href="http://www.mikefilsaime.com">Mike Filsaime</a></strong> or <strong><a href="http://infiniteevolutioncenter.com/">Stephanie Mulac</a></strong> or <strong><a href="http://www.strategicprofits.com">Rich Schefren</a></strong> or <strong><a href="http://www.planetsmsblog.com/">John Thornhill</a></strong> or <strong><a href="http://www.dave-nicholson.com/blog/">Dave Nicholson</a></strong> or <strong><a href="http://www.paula-brett.com">Paula Brett</a></strong> or <strong><a href="http://www.omar-martin.com">Omar Martin</a></strong> or <strong><a href="http://www.rosalindgardner.com/">Rosalind Gardner</a></strong> or <strong>Maria Andros</strong> or <strong><a href="http://www.garryparkes.com">Garry Parkes</a></strong> or <strong><a href="http://www.deanholland.com">Dean Holland</a></strong> or even me for that matter! (heaven help you!)</p>
<p>WHY?</p>
<p>Because <strong>YOU are UNIQUE</strong>. There is NOBODY exactly the same as you in the entire world! You have unique talents. You have a unique way of expressing yourself. Some people will find you hideously irritating. Some will find you arrogant. Some will find you boring. Some will like you. Some may even find you enchanting. Some might even get so fixated on you that they will stalk you. Yeah, it happens. Social media networking is a real tutti-fruiti haven for <strong>cyber-stalkers</strong>. But that is a subject I will cover a bit later on. Back to the subject at hand…</p>
<p>&#8230; It’s horses for courses.</p>
<p><strong>Don’t sacrifice YOUR uniqueness by copying what some other dude does</strong>. That would be false and it would be wrong and it will kill your own <strong>WONDERFUL UNIQUENESS!</strong></p>
<p>I was discussing this on a forum recently with several people. <strong><a href="http://joshbartlettblog.com/">Josh Bartlett</a></strong> and I took the lead and we really went to town on copycats. That is, people who cross their own lines of decency, morality, humility, standards and/or character to emulate somebody who they want to be like. Put simply &#8211; it’s dumb! Yep! It&#8217;s a really dumb move.</p>
<p>At this point, this let me ask you this&#8230; do you think that even your HEROES have their own unique weaknesses and faults. They do! Nobody is a tower of strength in everything. Even the mighty have their Achille&#8217;s Heels.</p>
<p>In its most amusing and aggravating form I have seen people even take on the laugh of a boss or person who impresses them. This is really pathetic – especially when the person being copied has a quirky or weird laugh. All of a sudden instead of having one hyena we have a pack of guffawing, snorting wannabes all parodying the “leader of the pack&#8217;s” jack-ass type laugh.</p>
<p>I am quite an observer of this and I have studied it a fair bit through the teachings of <strong><a href="http://www.peaseinternational.com/">Allan Pease</a></strong> the body-language expert. I have been to some of his seminars and have a few of his books (of course!).</p>
<p>If you ever get the opportunity to see Allan Pease live then I recommend that you go. <strong>Pease is a scream and he can teach you a LOT!</strong> In fact, check out his website in that link I just gave you &#8211; when I looked there was a very funny but, at the same time, educational video there about an orange tie. <strong>WHOA! Not yet!</strong> Finish reading what I say first. You can always come back to that link.</p>
<p>Back to emulating others… what if such a person has a distinctive tattoo? Do all the <del datetime="2009-09-20T11:58:38+00:00">clowns</del> clones then have to go out and get similar tattoos, or piercings, or whatever? What about a favorite saying? Does everybody have to turn a cliché into such an obvious hackneyed, copycat parrot call? What about a distinctive walk? Do we all need to walk like a homey?</p>
<p>I have seen this behavior with monotonous regularity over the years. Don’t be a &#8220;monkey see, monkey do&#8221; type. <strong>Forge your own personality and maintain your OWN uniqueness and character.</strong></p>
<p>Like I said, <strong>YOU are UNIQUE</strong>. Keep it that way. You will always have your detractors but you will also have your followers – IF you blaze your own trail and be true to yourself.</p>
<p>One of the examples that Josh gave that made me smile was that of <strong>Internet Marketer <a href="http://masscontrolsite.com/blog/">Frank Kern</a></strong> – you know, “Mr  Mass Control” – the guy with the surfboards who wears the grass skirts and who says “dude” a lot. Now there are some people so enamoured with Frank that they too wanna be seen with surfboards and be known for goofy-footing and hanging-five and talking surf-dude talk (eg &#8220;smokin hot left-hander&#8221; and &#8220;rantry&#8221; burble, burble, burble). Uh-uh! <strong>Don’t do that shit!</strong></p>
<p>Heh&#8230; heh&#8230; now I&#8217;m starting to sound like the late <strong>Gary Halbert</strong>, copywriter extraordinaire. Hmm, maybe it&#8217;s a Gary thing. (It&#8217;s odd, most Gary&#8217;s I know do swear a bit &#8211; but only one R Gary&#8217;s. Mr Parkes does not swear. But he&#8217;s a two R Garry. I do admire that in you Garry. Maybe I need to take a leaf out of your book on that Parkesy &#8211; LOL!) Sidetracked again&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Just be YOURSELF!</strong></p>
<p>Having said that, you can always follow the METHODS of a mentor or mentors. <strong>That is actually a SMART thing to do.</strong> Just stay away from copying the personal mannerisms – especially if that person has unique or quirky traits but even more especially if the things you are copying hold no interest for you or, even worse, go against what you stand for or believe in. In other words, don’t be an obvious copy-cat. Be TRUE to yourself!</p>
<p>I once knew a Premier of the State of Western Australia who had a penchant for the “F” word. Guess what? Almost every person in his office used that word liberally, even the women. I found that incredibly crass. Watching and hearing otherwise lovely women say things like: <em>“Get effen John on the effen phone and find out what he’s effen doing with that effen report I need.”</em> That disgusted me (And yes &#8211; &#8220;darn it&#8221; &#8211; I swear!). It was so incredibly FALSE! I wonder if they really knew how pathetic they all sounded. All because their illustrious leader, the number one ticket-holder in the State, swore like a trooper. Unnatural. Unnecessary. False. Ridiculous. Pathetic.</p>
<p>Copying the exact traits of others will lead to the destruction of your own uniqueness and will therefore lead to your demise as a person worthy of taking notice of. <strong>You have to be known for being YOU,</strong> not a clone of somebody you admire, adore, look up to, wanna be like or whatever.</p>
<p><strong>There is only ONE you.</strong> And, fortunately, there is only one me.</p>
<p>Just be yourself!</p>

<p><strong>PS1:</strong> Whenever I see this sort of behavior employed I automatically think of one word &#8211; suckhole. Sorry, I know that kinda detracted from my message but I HAD to say it. <strong>That&#8217;s one of my faults</strong> &#8211; I say things I shouldn&#8217;t. It&#8217;s got me into a LOT of trouble in the past and it will undoubtedly get me into strife in the future. Anyway, don&#8217;t be a suckhole. (yeah, yeah, yeah&#8230; I know&#8230; I said it again&#8230; <strong>BAD me</strong>.)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the most confronting things facing most people intending to market goods and services on the Internet is getting the correct mindset &#8211; the <strong>Internet Marketing Mindset.</strong></p>
<p>There are so many things standing in front of the <strong>&#8220;newbie&#8221; marketer</strong> &#8211; </p>
<ul>
<li><strong>education</strong> &#8211; what do you need to know?
<li><strong>basics</strong> &#8211; what are the first things you need to do?
<li><strong>technique</strong> &#8211; how do you do the basics?
<li><strong>self-belief</strong> &#8211; do you THINK you can do it?
<li><strong>information overload</strong> &#8211; too much information being fired at you all at once
</ul>
<p>Introducing&#8230; my new e-book &#8211; 40 pages of FREE information &#8211; <strong>&#8220;The Internet Marketing  Mindset &#8211; How to Program YOUR &#8216;Newbie&#8217; Mindset For Internet Marketing Success.&#8221;</strong><br />

Within the book there is a very powerful section called <strong>&#8220;Your BIGGEST Enemy Exposed.&#8221;</strong> Without this knowledge you will probably end up where 95% of the half-hearted triers end up &#8211; <strong>the scrapheap of broken dreams.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Grab a copy of the <strong>&#8220;Internet Marketing Mindset&#8221;</strong> today</strong> by filling out your name and email address on the form over there on the RHS <strong> &rArr; &rArr; &rArr; &rArr; &rArr; &rArr; &rArr; &rArr; &rArr; &rArr; &rArr; &rArr; &rArr; &rArr; &rArr;</strong></p>

I managed to read it all in about 15-20 minutes. [You can see a pic of the cover of <strong>Newbies Nightmare</strong> in the lower LHS column of this page - just scroll down to view.]</p>
<p>Written in an easy-to-read style, the <strong>Newbies Nightmare</strong> explains why <strong>99% of people trying to make money online FAIL!</strong> I gotta admit&#8230; the stuff that Alex wrote about hit home with me too.</p>
<p>I signed on for Alex&#8217;s first coaching course and many of the pages on this blog are dedicated to what was taught. </p>
<p>If you are considering finding a <strong>MENTOR on the Internet</strong> to help you with your marketing and selling then I can <strong>personally</strong> recommend <strong>Alex Jeffreys</strong> to you. He over-delivered on his first course and I know ABSOLUTELY that with <strong>Garry Parkes</strong> now taking on the role of <strong>Operations Manager</strong> that Alex&#8217;s new course will be <strong>EVEN BETTER</strong>!</p>
<p>As I said, troll through this blog and see for yourself the type of information that Alex teaches and the sorts of things that you will learn.</p>
<p>If you want to read the <strong>Newbies Nightmare</strong> then you can get it by clicking here &#8212;> <a href="https://paydotcom.com/r/21977/ZenithMentor/24717468/"><strong><font color="FF000">NEWBIES NIGHTMARE</font></strong></a></p>

<p><strong>PS:1</strong> I have personally met <strong>Alex Jeffreys</strong> and <strong>Garry Parkes</strong> and many other Alex Jeffreys students at the <strong>Internet Marketing</strong> seminars in <strong>Las Vegas</strong> in May/June 2009. You can read about all the fun we had in the previous post on this blog. Just scroll down.</p>
<p><strong>PS:2</strong> Having studied lots of information on Internet Marketing (just look at the size of this massive blog!) there are <strong>TWO basic themes</strong> that keep being said by all the BIG money-makers on-line &#8211; <strong>FREE tip coming</strong>&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; here it is&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>1</strong> &#8211; Get a MENTOR<br />
<strong>2</strong> &#8211; Build a list</p>
<p>You can begin to achieve part 1 of that right here, right now. Just download the <strong>Newbies&#8217; Nightmare</strong> to see what you are facing if you are trying to go it alone. Then read what <strong>Alex Jeffreys</strong> can do for you. It&#8217;s 100% free so you&#8217;d be crazy not to. (Remember, you can post any question below and with my experience I will try to answer it. But hurry. <strong>This EXCLUSIVE ALEX JEFFREYS MENTORING COURSE will open and close VERY quickly</strong>! Last time it was OVER-SUBSCRIBED the people who were late were simply left out. Numbers are restricted.)<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I’m finally back home in Oz after attending the Internet Marketing Seminars in Las Vegas in May and June 2009.</p>
<p>I have to say that I met some of the most wonderful and postive people at these seminars. I will be adding more names and details later but some of the people who I interacted with were:</p>

<li> <strong>Bobby Winchell</strong>,
<li> <strong>Jeff Yung</strong>,
<li> <strong>Nikki Stephens</strong> (biggest tea drinker in the world),
<li> <strong>Adam Spiel</strong> (Spielsy &#8211; you were great driving us all over the place that day &#8211; thank you so much!),
<li> <strong>Alex Jeffreys</strong> (himself, of course),
<li> <strong>Dean Holland</strong>,
<li> <strong>Dan Briffa</strong> (I wanna EAT it!),
<li> <strong>Thomas Northrup</strong>,
<li> <strong>JT Martin</strong>,

<li> <strong>Sandra Rodrigues</strong> (darling) and
<li> <strong>Jit Uppal</strong> (Jit Kune Do &#8211; you have to know about Bruce Lee to understand that).</li>
<p><center><a href="http://motivationselfesteem.com/talk/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/gazz-pimp.jpg"><img src="http://motivationselfesteem.com/talk/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/gazz-pimp-300x225.jpg" alt="gazz-pimp" title="gazz-pimp" width="300" height="225" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1149" /></a></center><br />
<strong><font size=1>[About the pic: What Happened in Vegas... Happened in VEGAS! L to R - HRH (minus tiara) Paula Brett, Gary (Chief Pimp - Gazzman) Simpson, Nikki (Nix) Stephens, Sandra (Mammazeeta) Rodrigues &#038; (the smoldering) Lesley Morgan]</font></strong></p>
<p>Now I know I have missed some people out. Please don&#8217;t be offended. I am SO jet-lagged and only just had 8 hours sleep after arriving home from <strong>Las Vegas</strong> to <strong>Los Angeles</strong> (a 1.5 hour flight with a 4 hour stop over) then <strong>LAX</strong> to <strong>Brisbane</strong>, Australia (a 14.5 hour flight with a 2 hour stopover) then <strong>Brisbane</strong> to <strong>Perth</strong> (a 5 hour flight). Then my kids insisted on coming over to see me so I had to stay awake for another 4 hours talking (semi-consciously) to them. When you add all this up (including waking up in the morning to pack, leave the hotel and get to McCarran airport in Vegas the wait for the flight to LA &#8211; 12 hours) it comes to 43 hours awake. I can&#8217;t sleep on planes. </p>
<p><strong>Ugh!</strong> Just on that&#8230; sorry to say this but I sat next to a lady from LA to Oz who must have been the world champion pie-eater, or something. <strong>She didn&#8217;t even fit in HER bloody seat!</strong> Her &#8220;extra bits&#8221; were rolling into my seat and she frikken <strong>SNORED</strong> while sharing her considerable self with me. GOD! Also, I had a rugby player on the other side of me and well, I ain&#8217;t exactly small myself. Then, there was this little sh*t in front of my seat who must have had ADHD and who was using his seat as a trampoline and who CONTINUALLY hung over his seat to annoy me and the rugby player and the Michelin tire pin-up girl. Oh, and then there was the guy behind me who kept kicking my seat. Yeah&#8230; <strong>it was FUN!</strong></p>
<p>Anyway, enough of that! The <strong>seminars, meetings</strong>&#8230;</p>
<p>Oh, before I launch into them &#8211; <strong>Theresa Mayhew</strong>&#8230; what a lovely lady! &#8220;Trees&#8221; posted me a big box of gingerbread cookies to share with the folks at the seminar. I have to admit that I ate about 6 of them before they even got to the seminar. I put them right by the coffee machine in the meeting room and invited people to fang into them. Now I KNOW that <strong>Lance</strong> reckons he didn&#8217;t get any but&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; Lance, seriously, how could you NOT know they were there? Especially since me and Parkesy and Paula Brett and Nikki Stephens arrived fashionably late (thanks girls!) and we caused such a disruption (sorry Alex!) to the meeting while we introduced ourselves around.</p>
<p>A little aside here too &#8211; those LOVELY folks at the Luxor Hotel Casino charged me <strong>$7.00</strong> to pick those cookies up! Jeez, as if they didn&#8217;t make a sh*tload off me for the hotel accommodation and the &#8220;resort fee&#8221; &#8211; whatever that is and the food and the drinks and the internet connection and all the other charges and taxes!</p>
<p>The meetings&#8230; hmm, they all seem a bit of a blur right now (as does everything) but I do have my notes &#8211; somewhere! And&#8230; I have looked and I can&#8217;t find them at the moment. Duh! I KNOW they are here somewhere!</p>
<p><strong>The BEST part of all of this was MEETING the people</strong>. Finally meeting all of the people that I have been interacting with over the internet was a real blessing. And not only have I made so many friends &#8211; I am doing (or will be doing) business with quite a few of them! </p>

<strong><font size=1>[About the pic - At the new Las Vegas &quot;M Resort&quot; - L to R Garry (Parkesy) Parkes, Nikki Stephens, Omar Martin, Paula Brett, Sandra Rodrigues, Michael Ottman,  and Gary Simpson looking after Bud Weiser (the midget)]</font></strong></p>
<p>But let me back the truck up for a moment&#8230;</p>
<p>I think I was the first one to arrive in <strong>Las Vegas</strong> &#8211; just ahead of Dean Holland and Dan Briffa. Dean and Dan were booked into the <strong>New York, New York Casino Hotel</strong>, as were most of the others. I booked into the (luxury) <strong>Luxor</strong> (the pyramid shaped one with the laser beam at the apex &#8211; which supposedly shoots 10 miles into the night sky &#8211; attracting aliens, no doubt) coz I have stayed there before and I liked it &#8211; plus I knew my way through the labyrinth of hotel floors and walkways between them all.</p>
<p>Anyway, I walked over several times to see if the boys had arrived and after the third attempt they finally did arrive and we got together. Well, what a madcap few hours we had after that. I was so jet-lagged and hmm&#8230; I guess I just went a &#8220;bit&#8221; silly. Dean and Dan and I made a lot of videos of the crazy times we had. They will all end up on you tube and the blogs soon but, watch out for scenes including:</p>
<li> &#8211; the (so called) homeless guy on the bridge between the Excalibur and New York, New York casinos &#8211; I decided that we should each give him a crispy (US $1.00). This scene is already in a composite video that is up at You-Tube &#8211; watch out for the comments about &#8220;moths&#8221; and <em>&#8220;you&#8217;re not a millionaire in disguise, are you?&#8221;</em> We laughed ourselves stupid over that and attracted a fair bit of attention from the bemused pedestrians (read that as drunks &#8211; almost EVERYBODY is staggering around with some sort of booze in their hand &#8211; mostly those giant yard glasses full of margueritas!) You can see that &#8220;moth&#8221; clip here: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23HoTkU5NuY">MOTHS</a> (Go to 2:24 to 2:33) There is a fuller version here: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6ogCZIURhY"> GIVING $$$ TO THE HOMELESS DUDE &#038; MOTHS FLYING OUT OF BRIFF&#8217;S WALLET</a> (Go to 4:21 to 5:57)<br />
</p>
<li> &#8211; the scene at the <strong>Aquarium at the Mandalay Casino</strong> (Dan wanted to go there coz he likes fish &#8211; in fact, he wants to EAT them all) where they were crapping on about the black-tipped, black-finned shark, so named because it has black tips on its tail and fins. Well, that just got on my nerves so I had to give the REAL explanation of the name! You can see that &#8220;shark&#8221; and &#8220;manta ray&#8221; clip here: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23HoTkU5NuY">SHARKS &#038; MANTA RAYS</a> (Go to 2:58 to 3:33)<br />
</p>
<li> &#8211; My ridiculous rendition of <strong>Cher&#8217;s &#8220;If I Could Turn Back Time&#8221;</strong> &#8211; brought about by a poster of her that I saw at <strong>Caesar&#8217;s Palace</strong>. I decided to do her dance and then &#8220;throw&#8221; my leg up over a travellator rail like she did on that battleship in the video clip. Duh! You can see that &#8220;Cher&#8221; clip here: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23HoTkU5NuY">WATCH OUT CHER!</a> (Go to 2:33 to 2:46) <strong>WARNING: This is disturbing!</strong><br />
</p>
<li> &#8211; the <strong>&#8220;ALIEN&#8221;</strong> scene as we were coming out of that aquarium where I grabbed a toy octopus and attacked Dan in the chest with it (much to the annoyance of the shop owner). Clip coming&#8230;<br />
 </p>
<li> &#8211; the <strong>&#8220;diamond&#8221; encrusted tricycle</strong> in the shop window. That is the one that Dan is gonna buy when he becomes a world famous Internet Marketer. Clip coming&#8230;</li>
<p>Oh dear! These were just a few of the madcap moments that Dean and Dan and I captured on video the first day.</p>
<p>Oh, back to work, I also managed to make about <strong>15 short videos on Internet Marketing</strong> at the various casino locations. Some of them are actually quite good and they give <strong>decent Internet Marketing tips</strong>. But some of them are just more madness. As <strong>Marshall Sylver</strong> (the hypnotist) at <strong>Mike Filsaime&#8217;s seminars</strong> said: <em>&#8220;Funny is money.&#8221;</em> So, I&#8217;ll just wait for it all to start rolling in.</p>
<p>Anyway, I will have a LOT more to say soon. And I will be uploading a lot of those videos and photos for you all to see. I am facing a LOT of work here (including having to take over a $100,000 pa franchise that one of my franchisees decided to walk away from while I was in the US &#8211; don&#8217;t ask. There is a world recession on &#8211; apparently &#8211; and one of my guys decides that he doesn&#8217;t want this money).</p>
<p>More to come&#8230;</p>

<p><strong>PS:</strong> Check out those banner ads to <strong>Omar Martin</strong>&#8217;s &#8220;<strong>Internet Selling For Newbies</strong>&#8221; course that I have splattered all over my blog (see above). I met Omar via Paula (Pauls) Brett and talked with him extensively over a few days both at the <strong>Alex Jeffreys</strong> seminars and also at <strong>Mike Filsaime</strong>&#8217;s (held at the <strong>exotic new &#8220;M&#8221; Resort Casino complex</strong> just outside Las Vegas). Based on what I have seen (and I have seen a fair bit) I believe that Omar has the <strong>MOST COMPREHENSIVE</strong> introduction to Internet Selling that you will find anywhere. <strong>Click on any of those banners and get involved with Omar!</strong> He is one of Mike Filsaime&#8217;s right hand men and he is <strong>VERY knowledgeable</strong>. This product is SO explanatory. Omar goes into great detail and I am supporting him 100% with this product because i think it will benefit so many people trying to unravel the mysteries and vagaries of <strong>INTERNET MARKETING</strong>!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Alex Jeffreys</strong> concluded his coaching programme today for the initial intake of some 500 students. How many are left still standing is unknown. Some never started, some fell by the wayside, some found it &#8220;too tough&#8221; and some just decided that <strong>Alex Jeffreys</strong> wasn&#8217;t the mentor or coach for them. I can&#8217;t say I feel particularly sorry for those who didn&#8217;t emerge into the sunshine from this <strong>Alex Jeffreys</strong> course. They made their decision &#8211; for whatever reason. <strong>They certainly had the same opportunity as those who finished did.</strong></p>
<p>I guess it is like a University course, in some respects&#8230; some finish, some don&#8217;t. In life some people win while others lose. Anyway, I don&#8217;t want to focus on any of that too much longer. You can go to my thread on <strong>winners and losers</strong> if you are interested enough in the REASONS for this.</p>
<p>Some students were unable to make this last webinar for work reasons or family committments, so this summary is for them &#8211; and for any lurkers who come here wanting to avail themselves of free information.</p>
<p>OK. Get a cup of tea or that poison that some of you drink called coffee and settle in coz <strong>the Gazz-Man is gonna end this Alex Jeffrey&#8217;s coaching course with a BIG banging post.</strong> I haven&#8217;t done that for a while and now seems like an appropriate time. I might slap some people around a bit too coz I&#8217;m a bit frustrated with the attitude of some. So, click away now if you are a precious flower who only blooms at midnight when there is nobody around to see you.</p>
<p>Here we go&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Alex Jeffreys</strong> was asked before the session started (by <strong>Theresa Mayhew</strong>, I think) of what the MOST important thing was that HE had learned. Alex said, <em>&#8220;The most important thing I have learned is to take action and step out of my comfort zone.&#8221;</em> Then he also went on to say how he has also learned to sleep less. That was amusing. I think we have all had lessons in this. I know that there have been some days where I have had as little as 2 and 3 hours sleep just trying to get everything done as quickly as possible, and I work fast anyway. The massive size and complexity of this blog is proof of that.</p>
<p>Just on that point &#8211; realise this&#8230; <strong>you are gonna be dead for a bloody long time</strong>. Get all your &#8220;lost&#8221; sleep caught up with then. Seriously, only really lazy people with little ambition waste time getting too much sleep. It&#8217;s OVER-rated folks! Try doing with an hour less. It&#8217;s p155 easy when you try.</p>
<p>Most people seem to prefer my summaries in point form so here is a synopsis of the key points, in chronological order of presentation:</p>
<li> ~ a significant part of on-line marketing consists of off-line planning with a pen and paper
<p><strong>Sorry, but I simply cannot resist myself here!</strong> If you have NOT got a copy of my <strong>ACTION Planner</strong> yet then &#8211; yep, I&#8217;m gonna say this &#8211; you are a DILL &#8211; it&#8217;s FREE, it works, I use the methods myself, so do ALL those people who wrote short testimonials down the LHS margin of this blog. Am I bullsh*tt*ng you? NO! Are they? NO! So, if you don&#8217;t have it then you are at a disadvantage. <strong> I PURPOSE wrote that sucker for THIS COURSE. But is has such wide-spread application both online and offline. </p>
<p>Sure, I could sell the damn thing but it is here FREE!</strong> What are you worried about? That I might trap your email addy and try to FLOG you something down the track? Duh! Do what some other geniuses have done &#8211; download the bloody thing then unsubscribe immediately! It will be your loss anyway coz I have so much good stuff coming up soon. [Hmm, <strong>Stephen Bray</strong>... maybe, as you mentioned over at your blog, I AM getting like <strong>Gary Halbert</strong>! RIP]</p>
<p>My <strong>micro rant</strong> now being over we can go back to the <strong>Alex Jeffreys</strong> component of all this:</p>
<li> ~ an IDIOT with a plan will beat a genius without a plan (GS Gee, that levels the playing field, huh?)
<li> ~ the recipe is only as good as the chef
<li> ~ get your message out to as many people as possible in the marketplace
<p><strong>Short digression: Alex Jeffreys</strong> then presented a 12 month summary from December 2006 to December 2007 in a month by month breakdown of his activity. This was ineteresting. Briefly, he involved himself in&#8230; </p>
<li> ~ writing e-books
<li> ~ looking for JV partners
<li> ~ attending <strong>Mike Filsaime</strong>&#8217;s 7 Figure Code workshop
<li> ~ restructuring his online business
<li> ~ outsourcing
<li> ~ coaching calls with mentors
<li> ~ attending an event put on by <strong>Rich Scheffren</strong>
<li> ~ attending the &#8220;World Internet Summit&#8221;
<li> ~ attending the &#8220;Internet Bootcamp&#8221;
<li> ~ attending the &#8220;Focus for the Future&#8221; seminar
<li> ~ launching his own products
<li> ~ further planning fro 2008 (GS: Oh LOOK! There&#8217;s that word again &#8211; <strong>PLANNING!</strong>)
<p>Alex readily admitted that he wasn&#8217;t getting the results from all the effort he was putting in as this was a &#8220;LEARNING&#8221; stage. Now&#8230; I have mentioned this on several blogs where I have stated something along the lines of:</p>
<p><center><strong>DON&#8217;T confuse the LEARNING stage with the EARNING stage</strong></center></p>
<p>Unfortunately, so many have. I had a <strong>HUGE RANT</strong> (not unusual for me) on this over at <strong>Dean Holland</strong>&#8217;s blog just recently. Dean, maybe you&#8217;d like to link to that page and tell everybody the number of that post. Seriously, some people want to be Usain Bolt before they are even out of daipers. Then they throw a wobbly when they aren&#8217;t making $20,000+ a month like Alex is. <strong>It takes TIME.</strong> Think of the J curve in finance. You, me, we are at the bottom of that J curve.</p>
<p>Back to the <strong>Alex Jeffreys</strong> material:</p>
<li> ~ when your &#8220;system&#8221; is in place the money earned will go on &#8220;auto-pilot&#8221;
<li> ~ revise Module 1 &#8211; forward to basics (revise the fundamentals)
<li> ~ it takes a LOT of failing to become a success
<p>The following point is so pertinent that I am giving it special status. <strong>Alex Jeffreys</strong> said there are two groups of students:</p>
<p><strong>1</strong> &#8211; the ones who WORK their businesses<br />
<strong>2</strong> &#8211; the ones who expect OTHERS to do it for them</p>
<p>My question to YOU. Be honest! Which group do you KNOW you are in. You WILL know!</p>
<p>Moving right along with more notes&#8230;</p>
<li> ~ build your list (GS: a COMMON theme)
<li> ~ observe the 80/20 rule
<li> ~ blogging is a MUST in Web 2.0
<li> ~ your blog creates value and endorses and positions you
<li> ~ learn how to generate traffic
<li> ~ in <strong>one single week</strong> in November 2008 Alex Jeffreys had 51,035 visits
<p>Three critical elements for you to learn how to do:</p>
<p><center><strong>1</strong> &#8211; Position yourself in the market<br />
<strong>2</strong> -create your OWN product<br />
<strong>3</strong> &#8211; Build a list with that product</center></p>
<p>It&#8217;s NOW time to regroup and re-plan:</p>
<li> ~ look at the business you have now built
<li> ~ where can you better your business?
<li> ~ write down all the weak areas
<li> ~ write down all the bad parts
<li> ~ work out leverage points
<li> ~ work out where you need to FOCUS and attend to that first
<li> ~ create a plan out of this and start building right here, right NOW!
<p><strong>Alex Jeffreys</strong> then went on to say that, <em>&#8220;Internet building, with all its different pieces is like a mad circus.&#8221; </em>People get so distracted. HELL! <strong>I get distracted!</strong></p>
<p>He then gave two really wonderful examples of comments made at the blogs of <strong>Gordan</strong> and <strong>Joe</strong>. Gordan gave an analogy of &#8220;children learning how to swim&#8221; and Joe spoke of everybody&#8217;s different &#8220;bag of tricks.&#8221; </p>
<p><strong>Gordan and Joe &#8211; I am not sure who you are but I would really love a copy and paste of those comments at this blog, if you don&#8217;t mind.</strong> If anyone knows who they are please contact them and ask them to come to the <strong>Gazz-Man&#8217;s TEMPLE</strong> of learning for newbies and nail those comments to a notice board here for all the monks to read!</p>
<p>More salient points from Alex&#8230;</p>
<li> ~ we are now at the part where YOUR success will be determined
<li> ~ You have learned the techniques, you have created your site, now it is time to maintain and caress it. <strong>This is YOUR make or break moment!</strong>
<li> ~ This is not the end but the very start.
<p>OK. Time for me to digress&#8230; again&#8230; (I know, I know) This is SO important I am gonna tell you something personal that I don&#8217;t normally like to bung on about too much, especially on my blog. But I&#8217;m gonna do it today coz <strong>this is MAKE or BREAK for everybody on the course.</strong> You can certainly skim read this next bit or just pass over it if you want.</p>
<p><center> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~</center> </p>
<p>Most of you are now aware that I have a black belt in karate. (It was an impossibility to keep shielding it anyway coz of those blasted aggregator sites that people have. So I came out and said it in point 5 of my &#8220;25 things about Gary&#8221; challenge that has been doing the rounds). </p>
<p>Please TRY to stick with me here coz I think it is very relevant&#8230;</p>
<p>When I attained that level I thought I was the &#8220;duck&#8217;s nuts.&#8221; Seriously. <strong>But I was wrong.</strong> It took me five years of beating myself to a pulp and being beaten to a pulp to get it. But what that really signified was one thing and one thing only &#8211; that I was teachable. Oh maybe it also proved that I could stick with something. But it showed that I could do the &#8220;basics&#8221; and pass a test on them. That is all. </p>
<p>Now, after almost 40 years of HARD and continuous training (incurring many injuries, some of them serious) I can see that so clearly now. I am on a much higher rung of the ladder now. A single black belt to me is such a rank beginner. They know so little. I don&#8217;t even like teaching at that level much. But it is a start. A foot on the rung of the ladder. That is where most of us are now in Internet Marketing, some are a little higher and some are a little lower. </p>
<p><center> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~</center></p>
<p>[I hope you can appreciate how difficult that last part was for me to write. But for those who can relate to what I said, that was for YOU. If you didn't relate to it then just move on. I'm not gonna make a big deal of it.]</p>
<p>So here are your choices&#8230;</p>
<p><center>[a] Are you gonna drop off the ladder and quit or &#8220;retire?&#8221;<br />
or<br />
[b] are you gonna hang where you are?<br />
or<br />
[c] are you gonna start climbing your way to the top?</center></p>
<p>I could probably go on and on with more of what <strong>Alex Jeffreys</strong> shared in his final webinar module but I think you get the idea.</p>
<p><strong>So, what is the Big Darn Online Secret?</strong> Alex Jeffreys didn&#8217;t really say, did he? Is there a secret? Heh! You think there is? If you want to keep searching for it then good luck. You see, IMO, there are NO secrets on the Internet. Information moves at the speed of the fibre-optic cables which is, effectively, light speed. And if there ever is a secret then it doesn&#8217;t last too long. </p>
<p>The only secret is the one that you hold in your brain. What are you gonna do with the knowledge you now have?</p>
<p>These were the main points of the one hour and fifteen minute concluding Module in the <strong>Alex Jeffreys Internet Marketing Coaching Course</strong>. As usual, I hope this smor<strong>GAZZ</strong>board of information helps those who were unable to attend.</p>

<p><strong>PS:</strong> Congratulations and thankyou <strong>Alex Jeffreys</strong> on a job well done often under very trying circumstances. I am sure that the vast majority of the 500 learned many worthwhile things. I know I have. Bring on Las Vegas!</p>
<p><center>&#8220;Bright light city gonna set my soul<br />
Gonna set my soul on fire<br />
Got a whole lot of money that&#8217;s ready to burn,<br />
So get those stakes up higher<br />
There&#8217;s a thousand pretty women waitin&#8217; out there<br />
And they&#8217;re all livin&#8217; devil may care<br />
And I&#8217;m just the devil with love to spare<br />
Viva Las Vegas, viva Las Vegas&#8221;</center></p>

<p><strong>NB:</strong> I haven&#8217;t had time to correct any spelling or grammatical errors in this post properly yet. I&#8217;ll do that after I get back from the gym this evening. I just wanted to get this summary up FAST!<br />

<li> ~ Twitter can be used for relationship building
