Live Into It!

Never stop learning…

At any given time I’m reading a handful of books, studying from carefully chosen mentors, and doing my own research on the topic of the day that seems to rock my world.

Today I tuned into a teleseminar from one of my online marketing mentors, Howie Schwartz. The guy is BRILLIANT. Plus, he’s a total sweetheart…

As I was on the call, he mentioned someone typed in NAMASTE to him. He got a kick out of it and encouraged everyone listening to look it up for themselves for a more personal experience of the true meaning. He mentioned how he’d been doing Yoga and had changed his eating patterns to green tea and live foods. Funny thing, because I’ve done the same in just the last month…

It is Saturday, Fourth of July weekend, and I’m chilling so I found myself GOOGLING NAMASTE. I found the Wikipedia definition and noticed the hand symbol in the photos. Namaste is a term from India, which made me think a lot about Siddha Yoga, a form of yoga that I’ve done with great success in quieting the mind and getting centered. Whenever I think of what I have learned through Siddha Yoga, I am filled with love and gratitude.

One more thing. My sweetheart, life partner, and fiance Thomas Gorgas, Ph.D., has always told me that I need to be a teacher at the “School For Love“. He keeps asking me what I’m waiting for, and well, I don’t have a great answer. When I watched this video today, I felt it through and through. I needed to share it with you…

So on this Fourth of July weekend, I wish you love and light as you live into the life you’ve imagined… :)CC

“Live Into The Life You’ve Imagined…”

P.S. Just in case you are wondering, nothing is more irresistible to MANIFESTING THE LIFE OF YOUR DREAMS THAN LOVE, no matter what you are in the process of manifesting. Love… Health… Wealth… At the core in all of it and each other is LOVE… NAMASTE…

Do you ever wonder how the amazing internet marketers make boatloads on their product launches? You know how it goes, your inbox is suddenly stuffed with MEGA-LAUNCHES and co-promotions all pointing to the same amazing new product or seminar. And these guys are good - really good - at getting their marketing message out there. A bunch of the big WEB 2.0 internet gurus made at least a million with their launches.

But the thing I keep wondering is what happens to the little guy? Can just plain regular folks win with those kinds of launches?

Well I just saw a short video that gives the FINAL answer on that question. And I have to admit, I found it really shocking.

I mean a guy with a crazy obscure niche going from the food stamps line to a six figure income? His case study is for real. I mean, you can see how he started out with this herbal medicinal board game he produced for a pretty penny and a home overflowing floor to ceiling with all these boxes. Talk about a super specialized niche, right?

And this husband and father of two basically put them out there and guess what? He sold 12… And then he found Jeff Walker’s Product Launch Formula (the one I have in my library that I just pulled back out to look at in depth again). Jeff pulled the version I have and is no longer selling it, because he’s getting ready to release his Product Launch Formula 2.0.

I’m actually in line to get his version 2.0 because he’s added a bunch of great new content for Web 2.0 users. Even if you don’t buy the product, the case study rocks and it is worthwhile to see how Jeff Walker does his own product launches. After all, he’s the guy behind the success of John Reese’s and Frank Kern’s million dollar product launches… I won’t say he taught them everything they know, but he did teach them how to do record-breaking product launches that skyrocketed their product launches into SEVEN FIGURES!

I’ve met Jeff Walker in person at the Dan Kennedy & Bill Glazer Info Summit in Atlanta where he presented. He’s a great guy - real… down to earth… unassuming… trustworthy… kind… gracious… humble… we’re talking a guitar playing guy who loves his family and hangs out in sweats at home… he even does product launches in his bathrobe… I’m sharing this to say it is worth your time to check out how he launches a product around an event. This stuff is GOLD…

But before you go… one more thing: you don’t need to
enter your email address to see the video - it’s
completely free. But MAKE SURE that you do enter your
email address anyway… the follow up “case study” is
going to be even better than this first video.

P.S. Food stamps to six figures is cool… but that’sjust one of the amazing non-guru case studies in the video. How about a list to 312 people that generatesway more than five figures?

Okay, I just had to tell you. It’s back, but not for long! But HURRY, because she only releases * 147 * COPIES a year, PERIOD. You read that right, because she only wants this information in SERIOUS ENTREPRENEUR’S HANDS. Then it’s done.

And an insider secret? She’s getting interested in shifting her business in 2009, so with some of her programs, like Marketing Mastery, she’s announced that 2008 is the ONLY year she’s offering the program. And if you know Ali, you know she sticks to her word.

By the way, do you know Alexandria Brown, a.k.a. “The Ezine Queen”? If not, you’ve seen her before in my blog entries. Just scroll down and you’ll see she’s been my biggest ONLINE SUCCESS mentor. Actually, if she noticed the blip in my blogging, she’d be like, “CC! You were at my Online Success Blueprint Workshop last year and you don’t have a review up there???” I know. Time to get a move on it girl…

Truth is, I was there and the event was Ali’s BEST EVENT EVER. I’ve personally attended ALL FOUR of Ali’s **SOLD OUT** Online Success Blueprint Workshops. And you know who else was there? The list was LONG AND DISTINGUISHED…

Bill Glazer & David Neagle Presented. Lorrie Morgan Ferrero and James Roche were on Ali’s expert panel. Fabienne Fredrickson was in Ali’s Platinum group.

James Malinchek, Kristy Frank, Maria Forleo, Christine Kloser and many more were in attendance. This was no fluff group. We’re talking about movers and shakers in their respective fields of service.

Why were they there? Because they want to get this INFORMATION AND APPLY IT IN THEIR BUSINESSES. Plus, the networking opportunity is one added bonus.

So what’s all the buzz about?

ONCE A YEAR, Ali releases her Online Success Blueprint In A Box, which is the EXACT content presented at her LIVE EVENT in the Fall of the previous year. She only gives this LIVE seminar ONCE a year in the FALL, and she only releases her ONLINE SUCCESS BLUEPRINT IN A BOX once a year in the SPRING. She puts it out there for a short time and then pulls it again until the following SPRING. So this is one of those things that if you want it, you need to TAKE ACTION NOW.

She’s really shaken things up with the “big boys” of the Internet marketing world. Why? Because she’s so open and honest about what WORKS (and what doesn’t work) when it comes to using email, the Internet, and information marketing to transform your business.

Instead of dangling exciting “magic pill” solutions in front of you, or selling “the next big thing”, Ali tells it like it is. Especially at her SOLD OUT Online Success Blueprint Workshops, the most recent of which was just 2 months ago in Los Angeles.

The bad news is, you missed out! During the 3 full days, she shared her step-by-step, internet-based plan for dramatically increasing your business while working LESS. It was absolutely amazing, even for me, and this was my fourth time in attendance. Several of my buds were repeat guests, too, which simply speaks to the strength of the seminar and the information.

The GOOD news is, after hours of editing, polishing, and coddling, the brand new 2008 Version of her “Online Success Blueprint-in-a-BOX” is finally READY!

It’s the home version of the exact same program she taught LIVE a few months ago. You can see everything you get right now at http://www.LastEverWorkshop.com

This is Ali’s 2nd year of honing this program to perfection, and I can honestly and confidently tell you — there is NOTHING else out there like this! Her program is honestly changing lives. It changed mine by shortening my learning curve substantially.

Before Ali I had a dream but wasn’t sure how to DELIVER the dream because my target market was often housebound with personal illness. Most used computers to do their research, so the ONLY way for me to reach them was THROUGH THE INTERNET. Ali taught me exactly how, and now I’ve gone on to launch two more successful Internet businesses.

But don’t take my word (or even her word) that this stuff works. Ali has *dozens and dozens of client success stories* that will blow your mind! Real people like you and me making thousands or tens of thousands more each month because of Ali’s simple system.

Listen, you’ll want to jump on this FAST, because Ali is only releasing *147 copies* of this version of the program. You’ll have to see what I mean — get the scoop, see all those success stories, and reserve your copy NOW at http://www.LastEverWorkshop.com

(And TURN UP YOUR SPEAKERS so you can hear Ali’s personal message to you. Pssst… This is just one of the amazing techniques she teaches!)

PS - When Ali released last year’s version of this program, it sold out within WEEKS! I was actually at a Mark Victor Hansen Mega Book event working at Ali’s booth and even getting up on stage to present her free giveways. I remember talking with clients about the special package she was offering there and sharing that she was going to pull the product for the year after the event, and she did! The people who missed out were totally BUMMED when the realized they’d have to wait until the fall to attend her workshop (in November) or wait another full year before the new version would be on the market. So please don’t delay - at least take a look at http://www.LastEverWorkshop.com

P.S.S. After the event, Ali asked me to become her Marketing Mastery Tele-Coaching Program Coordinator - an annual program that began on January 8, 2008. We were so busy launching behind the scenes, I got a little behind on my usual blog entries. This opportunity is too good to miss out on, so at least take a few minutes to go check it out.

P.S.S.S. If you were to ask me, “CC, if you had to drill down through every program you’ve been exposed to and learned from in the last 3 years, where would you tell me to lay down my hard earned cash in 2008 to master ONLINE SUCCESS including teleseminars, building a relationship with your people, how to monetize your website, etc.?” I’d say without hesitation, “…Ali Brown’s Blueprint!”

http://www.LastEverWorkshop.com

I’m super excited about going to Alexandria Brown’s Online Success Blueprint Workshop this week. We’ve got one heck of a line-up presenting to us including Bill Glazer! Yes, as in Bill Glazer and Dan Kennedy, who just recently released THE PHENOMENON and one of the featured speakers is Alexandria Brown herself! This is going to be a special treat. I have met Bill Glazer in person at the Info Summit in 2006 and Super Conference in 2007 and worked with his amazing team of people. I really admire and respect him and Dan Kennedy and I’m sure that Bill is going to deliver one heck of an amazing presentation.

Plus, Ali’s amazing Platinum Mastermind Members will be in attendance, and so I’m really looking forward to seeing some old friends and sharing our good news together about how our businesses have grown over the last two years as well as connecting with new members as well.

Then I’m super excited to meet David Neagle in person. I’ve done his home study course called JUST BELIEVE and he is going to be sharing his system in much more depth and detail about the process that allows you to believe in the power of your dreams. Ali has shared it was David’s techniques that helped her to manifest her beautiful million dollar beachfront home in Marina del Rey, California. So you can bet I’m excited to participate in his presentation.

This will be my FOURTH time in attendance! I’ve been at every single one of Ali’s events and for good reason. I can’t get enough of a good thing, can I? I’ve met some of the most amazing people at Ali’s events and we’ve become great friends. What’s more, they have incredible businesses and are really wonderful people.

There’s no replacing the exceptional value of a rocking Online Success Blueprint Workshop, but I can tell you the top 10 things I’ve learned from Ali in the last 2 years that have had a profound impact on what I do daily in my business.

Top 10 Things I’ve Learned From Alexandria Brown

1. Cooperation gets you a lot further than competition. Ali has done an amazing job of collaborating with her colleagues as well as bringing in special guests. I recently heard an interview with Ali where she was sharing that in the beginning she was concerned about competitors. Ironically, in the interview, she was interviewing another colleague who shares her niche and she pointed out that upon further inspection a joint venture was much more appealing as long as they could respect each other’s differences of opinion. Turned out to be a smart move as the interview was a “hot topic” and complimented her products very nicely.

2. Appreciate your peers and colleagues. One thing I absolutely love about Ali is that she gives credit where credit is due and openly shares her appreciation at events. At last year’s OSBW, she handed me the microphone to share how we had come up with the idea and created her most recent product “Workshop Marketing Secrets” which is an amazing product I highly recommend if you want to put on workshops. Then when Ali presented at the Dan Kennedy and Bill Glazer Super Conference in the Spring 2007, she stood on the stage and talked about her virtual team and in a room full of hundreds of people, she pointed me out at the back of the room. But it’s not just me. She publicly honors and promotes her friends and colleagues with openness and sincerity. That is one of the things I really love about Ali the most.

3. Growth can be exponential and it requires challenging yourself to reach new milestones. Ali steps up to the plate. She announces a workshop for 30 people, designs it and sells it out, kicks off an amazing weekend and celebrates her birthday on a yacht with all of her friends. Each workshop has practically doubled in attendance and has SOLD OUT. She’s willing to put herself out there for what she wants, and the beauty is that she gets it!

4. Take good care of the people who take care of you. It would seem this one goes without saying, but how many business owners treat the people who take care of them the most and the best like what they do isn’t valuable? When in fact, the people who take care of you are the most valuable. Ali seems to recognize this and takes good care of the people who take care of her.

5. Play with the big boys. There is no point in standing back and shrinking in the world. Take up you space and fill it to overflowing. Despite sometimes being “the only girl” in a sea full of men, Ali holds her own and plays with the big boys. What’s more, they really seem to love her for stepping up to the plate like that and putting herself out there.

6. Surround yourself with successful mentors and participate in a mastermind group. If you try to reinvent the wheel, you will take approximately the same amount of time as the original inventors did. If you participate in a mastermind group, one will have road-hugging wheels, another will have an engine and a wealth of knowledge about mechanics, another will understand hydrolics and pressure, another will have a connection to companies that represent drivers and the next thing you know you’ll be driving in the Indy 500. You get the picture.

7. Invest in yourself. Success rarely occurs in a vacuum. As small business and social entrepreneurs we need to continue learning and networking. Life in the shoebox of our home office (no matter how large and elegant the home office may be) is still life in a shoebox. So I highly recommend you invest in yourself, with one caveat. Invest in products, services and seminars that are in alignment with your business vision.

8. Take care of yourself. There’s only one you. I see a lot of people invest all their energy in the outcome of their business but completely neglect themselves in the process. Some have no family or personal life to speak of while others have noticeably let themselves go.

9. Success is in the follow-up. Take time to get to know the people who are attracted to you and what you do. Stay in touch. Find out what they most need. Meet their needs. Stay connected because they will want to work with you. As Ali says, “The fortune is in the follow-up.”

10. You are in the business of “marketing your business” no matter what you do. This is the final and BIG KEY! Ali taught me that my business is really not the thing I do for a living. Instead, my business is marketing what I do so that potential clients learn about me and get to know me, so that when they are ready to move forward I’m their first choice. The business of an entrepreneur is marketing your business.

I’m off to pack and get ready for this week’s Online Success Blueprint Workshop. If you are looking to take your business online or you have an online business that is just kind of plodding along, I highly recommend you rearrange everything in your schedule and pick up one of the last few seats for this event and you can even bring your life and/or business partner for half off once you’ve registered!

Here’s a super fun video clip (C) 2005 from the love of my life, my fiance and life partner, Thomas Gorgas, Ph.D.. He is the Founder & CEO of Amakua Video, LLC (www.AmakuaVideo.com) a Hawaii Corporation specializing in Internet Commercials, award-winning DVD production and documentary production.

Here’s a cute picture of us taken recently while we were in Hawaii together this summer… Isn’t he HOT-T-T-T in his Save Our Seas Rash Guard? We sell them on www.GetFitWithAloha.com in case you want one for your sweetheart… Mine looks really good on me, too. An awesome choice if you want to match and see each other easily in the ocean. But I digress…

My life with Thomas is one of the dreams in my life [a loving relationship with my best friend and a fulfilling family life] that I’ve lived into, and I am grateful for my life with him and the kids every day… This is a “just for fun” video on Pumpkin Carving for Halloween. We hope you enjoy… To get an update on how things are going in San Diego, you can read my short update below.

The last week was harrowing with over 500,000 evacuations in the County of San Diego alone. California wildfires are a norm with the Santa Ana winds this time of year, but what we saw two years ago in 2005 with the Cedar fires and this year in the 2007 fires, we’ve certainly seen our end of global warming effects that Al Gore shared so eloquently in An Inconvenient Truth. Qualcomm Stadium was the refuge that reminded way too many people of the blessings here by comparison to Hurricane Katrina’s Superdome horror, but to our surprise, evacuees were back home on Friday and The Chargers won over Houston, Texas 35-10 in a home game on Sunday. We’re back to life as usual here in San Diego even though we’ve been warned that on Friday the Santa Ana winds will be picking back up again and to have our bags packed and ready to go as well as our cell phones plugged in for reverse 911 calls. The system worked beautifully and they got to people with 15 minutes or more time before the fires reached their homes, which was amazing under emergency conditions like that for a city our size. One final note, THANK YOU TO OUR FIREFIGHTERS and EMERGENCY CREWS and POLICE DEPARTMENT, but most especially TO OUR FIREFIGHTERS… Wishing you some rest this week and a Happy Halloween…

For some this is a time of new beginnings. For others it is a time to be grateful for what has been Remember, live into the life you’ve imagined…
