Stephen Pierce Talks Ballistic vs. Guided: My Talkback With Stephen

I highly recommend you subscribe to the blog updates by Stephen Pierce. This is the link to Stephen’s latest post Click Here The following is my response to his topic:

Being Guided

Great topic Stephen and Step 1 is very critical. Step 1 is “Clarify Intent and Purpose” Many of us seem to feel we know our intent regarding a specific task or project but when we sit back and look at all of our activities and pause, often we discover that these actions are not really satisfying us.

Defining your purpose can be challenging for many – it has been for myself. In fact I am consistently monitoring my feedback system regarding the direction I am moving. I believe the best feedback system is your feelings.

Let me clarify this. Stephen is absolutely correct in outlining the steps to staying on course for say performance in a job or on a project or in your business. I have consistently advised companies as part of my 10 Minute MBA training program to have a trusted advisory board. Public companies are required to have a board of directors. Many private companies, in fact most, do not have an advisory board. At the job or project level, feedback systems can be created with people outside the immediate project group or chain of command. Within that professional environment monitoring your feelings about progress is also very important. Your guidance system within is a powerful benchmark. This guidance system is best used for your life’s purpose first.

There is a process to follow in order to reach a higher level of guidance linked to your life’s purpose. It has been my experience that even with the answers within immediate reach, many people are not interested in doing the work required to get to the answer. I start professional and life lesson projects with the same question: what is the goal? For me the goal is being at peace with the direction I am moving.

I remind you the reader of the same lesson I offer people in The Prosperity Now Program If you have a desire for to jump out of airplanes for your leisure activities you can be at peace doing that if that is part of who you are. I for one do not seek such thrills at this point. Peace comes for me with being on purpose. The entire Prosperity Now program is designed to help us be on purpose with our lives. When we on purpose my experience has been that daily work, relationships, health and manifesting dreams and desires fall into place.

Thank you Stephen for another outstanding topic

Why Experts Selling Business Success Solutions Will Do Very Well

I do not know Mr Charles Ryder. I discovered the video whose link that follows while setting up a Blogger Blog. I know I know I have been let’s say not real friendly when talking about blogger since I started with Blogger and after activating quite a few, woke up to find all my material gone.

Well after watching one of the training videos on an earlier post, I decided to try again. I am not advocating Blogger but I I did discover it has a really cool plug in for videos. You can see this at work at Success Book Reviews

What is even more important is how much wonderful material there has been posted on line. Many current business and spiritual leaders have videos posted with great content. Many people are familiar with You Tube and I love it. However as demonstrated by the video posted by Charles, Google Video apparently allows material that plays a lot longer than You Tube’s 10 minute restriction.

With a growing list of content available for free, will that eliminate the value of material published for sale. Not at all. Published material is always organized well, often comes with guide books and is usually in multiple learning formats. Most on line videos don’t provide the entire solution for a topic but if you are financially challenged you can do a little research and find all the answers at no charge. You may also find the answer to your prosperity challenges in my Prosperity Now program.

Uncut Unedited Internet Marketing Video by Charles RyderInternet marketing expert Charles Ryder goes crazy on this very informative video. He teaches a step-by-step system that will help you make money right away. This is one of the best Internet Marketing video’s ever made and it’s 100% FREE!

My People Will Be In Touch With Your People

There it was .. a message from a member of the team working with John Reese. The message was ” that after a marvelous honeymoon, during which your excitement for what was delivered was off the charts; you continued your commitment to me. Long after the excitement of that first report had been experienced, you stayed with me even in those months when there was very little excitement.

I understand and appreciate your $106.00 a month loyalty to me Steve and I am think you should be grateful for all that I have shared with you. Unfortunately it is time for me to move on and I have asked my associate to alert you. Steve it is not personal, I am simply too busy to personally write a note of appreciation and explanation of what is next. I balance all my work. I could have written to you or written a story to promote a program where I would earn another million or more. Thank you for your $106 a month Steve but I didn’t have time to write a Dear John letter

Does anyone get this? Do you John Reese get this? There are a lot of people who really like your monthly report and most of us probably understand that there is a time to move on but you look at who has been with you in the eye and let them know directly what is in your heart.

Cracking The Secret To The Law of Attraction For You and Your Business

I have been developing a new part of my consulting practice that works with you on how to achieve optimal personal development while showing you how to dramatically increase your business results. I have never had anyone ask me if I felt I was on purpose in what I was doing. If they had and if I understood how to answer that question for myself, I am likely to not have done some of the deals I have done.

Recently we celebrated Valentine’s Day. Many people I know including myself have looked at a day like Valentine’s day and felt obligated about the day. The obligation crowd have their profession, jobs, or companies and know this is the day to purchase a gift, make dinner arrangements and tell someone close to them they love them. In the process the feeling often expressed is: whew – got the gift and dinner is set. Now I can get back to my work for awhile — oh my —I got to get out of here or I will be late and that will really upset my _______.

To The Point:

You cannot optimize your business performance if you are out of balance in your personal life. I know this from experience. My program now addresses the steps needed to maximize the performance of your business and your life. This enhanced direction will cause some people to leave my list, possibly limit my client base and my circle of influence. So be it. I have always been focused on what I believe to be the optimal formula for my clients. Nothing has changed except I have grown in my own personal life and I am showing others who are interested how I am doing it.

Who Is Jaime Luchuck?

Jaime is a young lady from Toronto, Canada. She is the Next Internet Millionaire having earned that title after many long days and weeks of intense effort. She was judged by an elite crowd who have developed successful businesses using Internet marketing, direct marketing, publishing, informational products, videos, audio and more. These including Joel Comm, Rich Schefren, Mike Filsaime, Brad Fallon, Armand Morin to name a few. She is now a speaker having addressed a group of about 100 people at JV Alert in Orlando. This is a marvelous event by Ken McArthur which is where I met Jamie.

I have just listed a few highlights of what this lady has done. These are not who she it. Jaime is a person who speaks and lives from the heart. She started her presentation saying it was her first to any group and that shortly before being at the front of the room she threw up. She said she just wanted to get through it so she could sit down and enjoy the rest of her day. Folks that is as honest as you can get.

Even with that honest disclosure of how she felt, she spoke to us like we were sitting accross the table having a one on one over a cup of coffee. We learned about her deep heart felt motivation for competing at all in the Next Internet Millionaire Reality Show. Simply stated she was not living on purpose working in her 9-5 job. She even succeeded getting 100 or so Internet marketers and other business people to stand on their feet, clap and sing the Dolly Parton song 9 to 5. Two hours earlier she was throwing up and now she had the crowd singin and dancin. Can’t imagine what she gets us to do when she is confident speaker.

The real message story is about a young person knowing she is not happy with her 9-5 role but not knowing how to break out of that trap. Through a series of what seems like unlikely events that she acted on she is now an author, speaker and on her way to more success. She is well connected at an early stage in her career. She took the risks, she was scared and now in her words she is thankful and happy. Seems to me being grateful and happy is a very good place to be in life. Read her story – well worth the time and yes we can learn a lot from a young seemingly inexperienced person.

Be well and prosper,

Commitment (posted to the blog developed by Stephen Pierce)

(Stephen operates a terrific blog and I highly recommend you consider what he is teaching. Visit DTAlpha)

In the book The Five Wishes the author asks the question: Imagine you are on your deathbed and you have just a short time before you leave the physical plane. A person walks up to your bedside looks at you and asks..has your life been successful?

Whatever part of your life that may have less than a positive response you have the opportunity to fix that now. The key is clear definition, commitment and action.

How does this have anything to do with question does the present create the future or does the future create the present? The future is absolutely created by the present energy you are sending out. If you are in a state of viewing everything as a problem, if you think everyone is out to get you, or everyone and everything is there in a less than perfect state so you are constantly angry about it then you will attract more of what will fuel that behavier.

So if you decide that a new career, a new or vastly improved relationship, a trip around the world or whatever it is that is part of your “yes answer” to the question has your life been successful, then commit right now to making that happen and take the steps necessary to make that happen. Whatever this list is – it becomes your commitment list. I cover this is greater detail at http://prosperitynow.prosperityroadmap.com/commitment.html

For me the real key was not in the intellectual understanding of what Stephen is saying and the congruency with my own belief system but how do I do this. I mean how do I really change who I am if who I have been has not met my expectations? I developed the Prosperity Now System to help me shift my thinking to what is possible and then achieve it. A growing group of people are finding this to be very helpful. Take a look at the most recent session at http://prosperitynow.prosperityroadmap.com/now.html which is all about the Power of Now – another one of Stephen’s points.

Notice the road many people we think of as being very successful have traveled. I personally know of a couple very successful people who have been shot, been bankrupt, had no resources and yet today are doing extremely well by most standards. Very inspirational. Thank you Stephen

Until the next time:

How To Transform Your Business To An Accelerating Cash Profit Producing Machine

Are you a business owner, entrepreneur, direct marketer, internet marketer, network marketer or a person looking for the keys to success? If so this is must read information. Of course you don’t have to and you may not even “buy into” what I am presenting. I repeat: this is must read and must follow information.
——————————————————
Something has been missing. While I developed, implemented and proven the effectiveness of my 10 Minute MBA program, I knew that in a number of cases the success was not sustained. I rationalized this as a natural process of business owners slipping into to their previously established comfort zone.

In a way I used this seemingly natural regression as an opportunity to promote follow-on business consulting services. Now I understand that while ongoing services are valuable, the real reason for business performance to slip went deeper than the obvious failure to follow the established game plan that had been proven to work.

I also could see that in many instances that even when my Profit System was actively implemented and the business was hitting or even exceeding established milestones, something was missing.

When you are faced with a question where you don’t have the answer with confidence, what do you do? Well there is research of course and I did research this issue. Hundreds of hours of research. I also looked very carefully at those situations where people were hitting and exceeding the numbers consistently. I studied the contrasts.

I didn’t discover what I now feel is the answer until I examined my own experiences. I have been taught and influenced by my parents, my daughter, teachers, billionaires, priests, ministers, authors and very by all outward measures, successful internet and direct response marketers. There have been many other influencers but you get the idea. With all of this experience being taught and implementing a lot of what I was taught I found myself experiencing significant negative life situations. So I went to work to find out why. I went to work on myself.

This is not the forum for a description of the extent of that work. However, what I discovered literally transformed my life. This is an introductory article. I am suggesting you consider that if you are not on purpose there is no way for your business or you job to be satisfying – no way. Alternatively if you are on purpose and you use all the tools available to you, then not only will you be achieving your professional goals but more importantly you will be healthy, happy and at peace.

I suggest to you that being on purpose is more important than all the money you believe you want to make. Don’t misunderstand me. I want me and you to have all the abundance available for us while we are on this physical plane. I firmly believe there is unlimited abundance and I like that idea as much as anyone. At the same time, I remember the story about Andrew Carnegie in the book The Five Wishes. He was asked if his life was a success. He said he would give up all his money to have a truly happy marriage.

What is it that you wish for when asked if your life has been a success?

In this series of articles I will explore with you how personally being on purpose will make a dramatic difference in your life and your business. We will review a number of typical real life business examples and look at various outcomes as determined by the mindset of the person in the example. You will learn how to turn your business into a profitable cash producing machine.

There Are No Marketing Mistakes – Except This One

A company I work with is clearly on track to achieve a 20% increase in sales and profits. This business sells physical products on line – a traditional eCommerce business model. I noticed a slowdown in the rate of improvement in sales and profits earlier this year and a plan was developed to stabilize and then increase the rate of sales improvement.

A pay per click promotion was being used the three major engines. The campaigns needed a tune-up to improve return on investment and help improve the sales and profits trend line. Pay per click was the immediate focus since the projection was that it would have the fastest and most measurable influence on sales and profits in the near term.

Over the subsequent 3-4 months, a significant improvement in sales and conversion from pay per click advertising was recorded. The return on investment on net profits (revenue less cost of goods divided by pay per click costs) was very impressive for each primary keyword and ultimately for every secondary keyword. After about 4 months of working the campaigns, the performance, while very good, seemed to be nearly optimal and we went into maintenance mode. The improved ROI was not sufficient to ensure the Company’s sales targets for the year would be achieved. We implemented the next step of our marketing plan.

Marketing is about using appropriate channels for developing and maintaining customers. Direct mail and email are the “hands down” best ways in most instances to develop relationships with customers and targeted buyers. When done right, the business benefits tremendously because the customers know they are valuable. They respond by buying what you are offering. With a meaningful email database, marketing with email campaigns was viewed as the fastest way to further improve sales and profits.

Let me short cut the story to tell you that the email campaign is enormously successful. In total, the results exceeded projections. Here are the key points:

Every promotion needs to be evaluated on its own. We had pay per click campaigns and email marketing promotions fall flat. None of those were mistakes. The only mistake companies make is not marketing, not measuring what they market and not learning from campaigns that didn’t meet the mark.

In order to evaluate any marketing initiative, it must be set up so you can measure results. If this is the first time you are reading about testing, tracking and measuring ROI, congratulations. You now know the fundamentals of successful marketing. If you have read this before and are not implementing your marketing strategy using these principles then guess what – look in the mirror when you say your business is not performing or your marketing program is not delivering.

BONUS: I learned the value of having a technical person who understands the marketing objectives on the team. Setting up the tracking codes that allowed us to measure ROI for each keyword and email campaign was invaluable and work I prefer to have done by a person with those skills. In this case the company has qualified in-house resources. This is not always the case. If you are not confident you have or have access to the skill set required to set up the tracking codes then find those skills. There are independent consultants who have these skills at reasonable rates.

The Only Mistake In Marketing:

The only mistake in marketing is not setting up measurable campaigns. Dan Kennedy pounds on the importance of direct response marketing. Dan is absolutely right. John Reese is the master of testing. John is absolutely right. Learning from the masters is useless unless you act upon the lessons you learn.

Be well and prosper,

I Am Not Psychic – Repeat I Am Not Pshycic – Repeat – Well Maybe

Do you remember any of the predictions made for 2007?  I made it a point to track what I said on December 30, 2006 . For the record the December 30th post is published and I am repeating it below along with the first report on what actually is happening now vs. what was predicted.(2008 predictions will be published on December 29th.

In the box will be at least 10 opportunities to spend money on one or more of their in-house study programs or seminars. Read the Christmas card first of course. (Did you receive one of their cards in 2006. Was it just me thinking their mailing was tacky at best? ) Do not ignore Dan and Bill’s training unless you are netting more than $10 million a year from continuity programs. 
12-07 Update: 100% accurate (I received mine – did you?)
 
There will be no more than 4 new players in 2007 that will achieve public recognition of being an Internet guru. Five currently recognizable gurus will leave to find off line jobs to pay their bills.  
(Statistics Still Being Compiled -Unfortunately I am right.)

12-07 Update: 210% accurate

John Reese says that long sales letters are on the decline and using a combination of Camtasia, live video clips and sales copy on your sales page will be most effective. John is right. Actually John is nearly always right and will continue to be so in 2007. Why is that? He tests and validates before he opens his mouth. If you don’t read his monthly report you are not serious about making money on line. (Frank Kern is nearly always right even with blonde hair.)

The gap between those building wealth and those not increasing net worth will widen in 2007.

12-07 Update: 110% accurate Those not building wealth will blame those who do with even louder voices and will want the government to step in. Those building wealth want the reinforcement of our country’s constitutional principles which basically says we have the right to build our business and build wealth and who we help is our choice not a government mandate. People still don’t get the fact that jobs are created and more money flows into the federal and state tax accounts when we let people who know how to build business do just that. The number of those not getting this point will continue to increase in 2007.
 

Portal Feeder will win the Grammy for the longest running program to have people pay for the development of a new version that should have been offered when the original version was offered but was not, and still is not over a year later. The Grammy will be awarded for best supporting actors in a major film that has not been released. By the way – I love the PF team.

12-07 Update: 210% accurate. Portal Feeder not only one the award but released a sequal that is awesome.
 
More people will recognize that all of this is a game and will turn increasing levels of attention and energy to the purpose and quality of human game. (Read Bob Scheinfeld’s Busting Lose From The Money Game. Read Joe Vitale’s The Key, Read all the material developing at Prosperity Now)

12-07 Update: Partially True – Stomper Net is like having the entire Internet Library of Congress thrown at you. It  is 200% true most Stompers have not acted on what they have learned. Be on the look out for my 2008 predictions.

10 Minute MBA + Prosperity Roadmap = ?

10 Minute MBA + Prosperity Roadmap = ?

What Is Your Goal?

Time Freedom? For What?
Wealth? For What?
A Personal Relationship? For What?
Business That Hits Then Exceeds Profit Goals? For What?

As a very experienced business professional who has worked with billionaires and near paupers, I believe the goal has nothing to do with money or power or assets or business performance results. I submit to you that it is all about the feelings. The billionaires I know were actually not focused on the money. They have been and continue to be focused on creating a business that helps a lot of people.

Do not discount your idea of physical prosperity. I am very focused on helping companies achieve their profit potential. I am now very focused on helping the owners and managers of those companies experiece prosperity in the intended meaning of the word in addition to business performance goals.

Do not discount my message and think I am opposed to material things. A man who I hold in high esteem has multiple multi-million dollar properties and owns marvelous vehicles that cost more than most homes. My list of material things that I am manifesting is huge. At the same time my NOW focus is to feeling good in the moment. My now focus is on enjoying this instant.

To The Point

If I teach a company how to maximize their business performance (and I do that with the program outlined at 10 Minute MBA) but I don’t help the people of that company understand the principles of prosperity, then the company cannot possibly achieve it’s true potential. How do I know that? I know that because of what I have experienced. So we need to focus on those business principles that work to build business strength and the Universal Principles of being in bliss regardless of the results we are experiencing in the physical plane. Live the principles of and you experience your purpose.

10 Minute MBA + Prosperity Roadmap = Fulfilling Your Potentiality
By the way when you fulfill your potentiality you are calm, healthy, at peace and happy all the time. To me that is a great way to live your life. Do you think that is unrealistic? “If you think you can or you think you can’t, you are right.”

My Newest Program

I combine all the best business practices with the principles as taught by some of the greatest teachers in history along with modern day guides including: Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer, Catherine Ponder, Joe Vitalie and more. I guide you to how to align you monetay prosperity goals with your life purpose.

I Know You Will Enjoy This:” I live with joyous gratitude and become more and more conscious of all that I have to be thankful for. I take time to appreciate all the wonderful things to be happy about”

May you experience the unlimited love, health, happiness and prosperity that is yours for the asking!

Use “The KEY” To Unlock The Secret

In the 10 Minute MBA program I show you how to improve your business performance by consistently following a straightforward business development and control program. I clearly state that if you follow this program and implement it properly, your business revenue and profits will absolutely increase substantially. I continue to stand stronger than ever behind that statement.

Business principles are at the foundation of The 10 Minute MBA program. Once I know these principles and have demonstrated them to work, I feel it is my responsibility to teach them and I do.

There is another set of priniples, laws actually, that I have learned and feel equally responsible for teaching. These are the Laws of the Universe. I didn’t always know these Laws like I do now. However, at one point a couple of years ago I woke up to the song “Hey What’s Going On?” I was going backwards fast. A downward spiral would be an accurate description.

Right about this time Joe Vitale released The Attractor Factor and that started me along the path of personal self-development that I am on today. That is a long story and the point of today’s message is that I now teach business principles and the Laws of The Universe. You may not like that thread. That is fine. “When The Student is Ready The Teacher Will Appear” In my case there is a growing group of teachers.

Do you or someone you know have challenges with their finances, health, relationships or possibly with their general outlook on life? There are a huge number of resources to help and most of them you can get for free on line, at your library, at bookstores and at certain churches. One resource just published is the book by Joe Vitale titled “The Key”

“The Key” is very important for anyone leading a business, wanting to be an independent entrepreneur or simply wanting to be happy by moving to a new place in life. In the book Joe tells the story of having a meeting with his trainers – these are the people who are paid to mentor paying subscribers toward greater success, happiness and prosperity. They help people with the principles detailed in many of Joe’s books as well as resources by others. In that meeting Joe draws two circles. One represents where we are and the other represents where we want to be.

The discussion is about how do we move from point A to point B. We are not talking about driving from your garage to the grocery store. We are talking about moving from a state of unhappiness or disatisfaction to one of peace, contentment and bliss. (A and B are my references not Joe’s. As many who know me understand: if I cannot get an action plan defined as steps A, B & C or steps 1, 2 and 3 (maybe 5) then forget about it. The plan would be too complicated for most people to stay focused on and certainly too complicated for me to manage.)

I was fascinated by the discussion, these were the people who were hired by Joe to coach high dollar paying members on principles Joe outlined in his books like The Attractor Factor and Zero Limits. Yet according to Joe, all of these mentors seemed to give traditional answers like..”well if we make more calls we will book more sales”

Joe (I imagine) is sitting there smiling and then simply reminds us that if we do not appreciate what is happening with us at point A then there is no way we can optimize our position or even come close to getting to point B.

Some clarification may help:

If you read my post on Quantum Success then you know a foundation Universal Law is that we must demonstrate gratitude for what we have before we can receive more. I love the sentence in The Key: “I’m Totally Satisfied..I Just Want More” Think about it..there are no limits and to experience all that you want to experience in the physical plane while we are here there are certain Universal Laws that must become part of your being. Two key ones are:

First – Release ..Forgive what has happened in the past that is not serving you. You cannot replay it except in your mind and when you do, whatever it is that is eating at you is sapping your energy right now. What a waste. This does not mean you should learn from your mistakes. It simply means release what is already done. How often do you find you are reliving something in the past. I know I catch myself all the time. This use of energy does not help us appreciate the now which leads to the next Law.

Second – Gratitude for where you are at right now. I don’t care what challenges you face, financial, relationship, health it doesn’t matter. Get used to the fact that life in the physcical plane throws curve balls. Deal with it. How? Release and Gratitude. Do you think you have nothing to be grateful for? Did the sun come up? Start there.

I don’t care if you are the greatest internet marketer, a highly successful business owner a person stuggling with financial, healh or relationship issues… I just know that if you want to have the feelings of happiness, peace, contentment you must live by the Universal Laws.

I have experienced the complete transformation of a business using these principles and following the guidance as outlined in Joe Vitale’s book Zero Limits. I have applied these Laws in my own life. I am having wonderful results and now I am practicing the message ” I’m Totally Satisfied – I Just Want More” Personally I can tell you there is a lot more that I want and for once I can tell you that I am focused on being better at enjoying the moment right now. If you cannot enjoy the moment right now, what makes you think you can enjoy the moment when you have more ___ or more ____ or more____? Which is exactly why you will not have more prosperity as defined by the feelings of contentment, healthy energy, happiness until you demonstrate that you are grateful now. That simply is one of the Laws.

As I go forward and help companies achive their profit goals I will continue to help them with foundation business tools as outlined at The 10 Minute MBA. we will also be integrating the ME Factor into their business and ultimately into their personal lives. However, like this article and like the material being developed for the Prosperity Now program, reading the material is great. However, believing there are no limits for me and you and everyone on this planet requires convergence. It requires the convergence of what we do with what we think about and what influences our subconcious mind with the Source that honors no boundaries.

The following is a great affirmation:

” I live with joyous gratitude and become more and more conscious of all that I have to be thankful for. I take time to appreciate all the wonderful things to be happy about”

May you experience the unlimited love, health, happiness and prosperity that is yours for the asking!
