WordPress for Dummies finally available! (and why I’m so happy about it)

Friday, November 23rd, 2007

If you’re a fellow blogger, you can see that mine is a WordPress blog and know what I’m so excited about. If you’re not yet a blogger, you may well think, “what the heck?” Trust me, it’s a big deal, especially for someone who, like me, likes their info all in one place, nicely organized, portable, and preferably available even if my internet connection is down!

There’s a little contest going on (this must be the new big thing) where you can win a copy of the book, signed by the author, or, if you prefer, simply read why people want one. Look for it right here.

If you’d like your very own copy without having to wait till you win — as far as I know, they’re only giving away ONE copy — or if you’d like to find out more about what’s inside, you could also go straight to Amazon.com (see below), which is exactly what I will do, unless our local bookstore has a copy in stock. That’ll be faster, which is good because…

I’d like to work on a new blog this weekend — a sister blog for this one, so I can finally separate out my more body/mind/spirit/prosperity self-help stuff from the web and prosperity stuff — each will get its own blog, but of course with plenty of cross-references, for everybody who, like me, is interested in both.

Less Stress & More Success With Abraham-Hicks Placemat Process

Sunday, November 18th, 2007

I bet you think I’ve morphed my blog into an internet marketing blog. Not quite, though I have to admit, the temptation is great. Especially now that Marlon’s Info Product Dashboard is available and being hawked all over the internet. If you want one, please click this link right here please for a look at what the fuss is all about.

I’m still waiting for my copy — which no doubt will appear in my mailbox very soon. Remember, I won it in the contest (see entry below). And I will definitely put it to use and will let you know what I think.

I’ll also start a spin-off blog soon, where I put all the internet marketing stuff. www.myfavoritewebstuff.com will be its name. Don’t go there now — there’s nothing there yet. Just stay tuned.

Now about today’s topic:

Stress is NOT good. Especially if there’s too much of it. And stress and overwhelm result especially from looking at to-do lists that have way, WAY more on them than we could possibly accomplish in a week, or a month. Unfortunately, that doesn’t keep us from thinking that we need to do all of it yesterday, or today at the latest. Ouch!

What to do?

Abraham-Hicks has a wonderful process for just that kind of situation: the placemat process.

You take a big sheet of paper and your to-do list. Now you draw a line down the middle and write on the left side: “Things I will do today.” Abraham suggests that we add “and I mean it!” for good measure. On the right side we write “Things I want the Universe to do.”

On the left side, we now add the things (just a few, easily accomplishable in one day) we REALLY need to do TODAY. Everything else, and I mean EVERYTHING else, goes on the right hand side. Let the Universe deal with it.

Now go and do the things on your side of the sheet. Stop worrying about those on the left side. More than you might believe will be taken care of by the Universe, or so they say (and, oddly enough, I’ve found that to be true in a lot of situations).

Repeat the next day, and on any day thereafter when it seems like there’s just too much to do.

That’s it!

This technique or process, along with many more, is described in more detail in “Ask and It Is Given.” (see below)

Of all the Abraham books, this one is my all-time favorite! It lays it out how it all works, and the processes just rock! I’ll write about another one of those processes soon, either here or in my newsletter or maybe I should call them news emails since they tend to be pretty informal most of the time. If you want in on that AND get a freebie ebook with hundreds of self-help tips, you can subscribe right here:

Marlon Sanders’ Information Product Dashboard Contest Update & Winner: Drumroll…………………..

Thursday, November 15th, 2007

Guess what? I won!!!

Well, that’s me and 4 other people for the regular entries, plus there were 5 more winners with video entries. But still! There were TONS of entries!

I’m thrilled! Made my day. My week!

Visit the winners’ page to check it out in more detail:

Marlon’s Dashboard Contest Winners’ Page

And do take a few minutes to read all the winning entries. Some of them are just brilliant! I especially like the first in the list — Mark Goodwin’s mock sales letter! So cool!

And then the videos!

I can hardly wait till I get my new dashboard — I’ll let you know when it arrives and I’ll be reporting right here on what I think of it too, and just how easy (or not) it will be to create all sorts of cool products. Actually, if his other dashboards are any indication, it should be a breeze. Stay tuned for my first big product launch!

But I bet what you really want is to get a look at the Info Product Dashboard itself, which is out now. And you’ve got to check out the VIDEO!!!

Oh, and it comes with the coolest bonuses. Take a look!

Have a fabulous evening.

Marlon Sanders’ Information Product Dashboard! Brand New! How to Win Yours.

Sunday, November 11th, 2007

Greetings,

Marlon Sanders, my favorite internet marketing expert, has just come up with a brand new dashboard: The Information Product (Creation) Dashboard. Marlon’s previous dashboards are all winners, and this new one promises to be the best one yet!

It takes the intimidating task of developing your own information products and turns it into some sort of connect-the-dots.

That still leaves plenty of room for creativity, in fact, the more the better, but the mundane parts of getting it all done are put almost on autopilot.

The best part: if you hurry, you could get one before everybody else — and without even paying for it. How? You could win one! Just go to…

Well, nooooo, it’s too late for that!

BUT: You can now buy your own Info Product Dashboard with such cool bonuses you’ll be glad you waited:

Check out Marlon’s Info Product Dashboard to see just how cool it is!

All the information you’ll need will be right there!

What would you have to have done to win? Go to Marlon’s blog (follow the link) and write a post on why YOU should be one of the lucky winners. Marlon even added 5 extra prizes for people who post video posts. If you do, your chances of winning will be excellent, plus you’ll get an extra special bonus.

But even if video is a bit much for you (as it is for me), just a regular post would have done. Too late though. But not too late to check out the shiny new Info Product Dashboard…

If posting isn’t your cup of tea, you don’t have to, of course. You can just check out Marlon’s new Information Product Dashboard directly. I think it’s pretty cool!

BTW, one of the (many) things I really like about Marlon’s products: they’re all web-based, so they won’t clutter up your hard-drive, they won’t crash when your computer crashes, and, best of all, they work for PCs and MACs equally well!

We know that one key ingredient to really making some money on the internet and becoming wildly wealthy is having one’s own information products, and Marlon has just made that task a whole lot easier. Look for my new product launch soon ;)

Meanwhile, I’ll keep my fingers crossed!

Abraham-Hicks: Power of Emotions. My Newest Favorite!

Thursday, November 8th, 2007

I just finished reading the newest book by Abraham-Hicks, i.e., Abraham channelled by Esther Hicks, and it’s a real winner!

I’ve been to a couple of their live events, and always feel like I can’t take notes fast enough — plus the note-taking distracts from the experience. Of course, I can also get the CDs, which I do, but still — it takes weeks for them to arrive.

So it’s wonderful that this new book actually provides an excellent written-down version of Abraham’s current teachings — about the amazing power our emotions have about what is going on in our lives — and how to best manage that power to make our lives work well. If you prefer audio, the book is also available on CD, of course.

As in the previous books, Abraham provides a series of step-by-step processes. Here they all deal with various emotional states, selected to cover issues very close to most people’s hearts.

Whether it’s quarrelling children, too many bills, frustration about too much weight or too much stuff, Abraham has a section that helps us improve our emotional state — which brings us that much closer to the desired outcome.

After all, so much depends on the statements (and ensuing emotions) we create about the issue at hand. A particularly intriguing (and amusing) example is a sequence featuring a “chat” with a cookie in the weightloss section.

I love that book! And I’m sure you will too. You can get additional information about it right here:

And, by the way, if you haven’t signed up for my email list yet, you can still get in on my freebie thank-you deal by simply going to my special freebie offer website.

Have an amazing day!

Prosperity, The Secret, and EFT

Tuesday, November 6th, 2007


Would you like more money? Prosperity? All the abundance you can handle?

What’s the block that keeps you from getting there? Most people have the same ones, I discovered when listening to Carol Look’s programs… It wasn’t just me. It’s not just you.

Carol is an expert in EFT, Emotional Freedom Technique, a technique that helps overcome just such blocks. And she’s phenomenal.

I’ll write more about her in an upcoming post, but right now, I just want to point you to her site. She has an amazing newsletter, with a new set of very apropos tapping series to help with prosperity issues. I just got the new one today (a few minutes ago) and wanted to share it with you. It’s working too!

You can find Carol at EFT for Prosperity and sign up for her newsletter and check out her other information. I know you’ll be glad you did.

More later, including some more detail about EFT, one of my favorite self-help tools!
