MOTIVATION
10 MOTTOES OF SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS PEOPLE
By Marnie Pehrson
Everyone has fundamental rules, postulates or beliefs by which they live and work. There is significant documentation for the fact that beliefs determine actions, and actions induce results. In learning about what works for other business people, we can combine their philosophies about business with our own to lead us to even greater success. I asked several businesspeople to share with me their mantras or mottoes for success; and here they are.
What You Sow Is What You Reap
"When it comes to life or business, what goes around, comes around" says Alanna Webb of http://www.lovestories.com/. "I try to remember that in business -- especially when it comes to competition and dirty business tactics. It's been my experience that honesty and integrity win out in the end." Another thought along these lines was shared by Jamie Brown of http://www.4096businessclub.com/ who says, ''There is a season for sowing and a season for reaping.'' We may not reap the results of today's planting for many months or even years to come.
Run with Diligence
Sabrina Van Dyke http://www.relivonline.com/svan explains: ''In this business I am not running a race, I am running a marathon.My reward after that marathon? It is knowing that I've helped change lives and gained new friends!'' I apply this ''motto'' to mybusiness because one achieves greatness by taking the little, but necessary steps that it may take to reap the rewards. I know that in doing my business I must get a few ''no's'' before I get to a ''yes''. The ''yes'' may not come right away (race), but if you keep plugging right along (marathon) and say that it's okay to get ''no's'' because the more ''no's'' you get, the closer you are in getting the ''yes'' (finish line).''
Paths Change
''Choosing a new path today does not mean that the prior years were wasted'' is the motto of Paul Henderson of The Boss Magazine at http://www.spboss.com/. ''This came to me after sharing with friends and family the goal of publishing my magazine a few years ago. Everyone said I was too old to start something new. I had a job, why create a new one? When I told them I wanted to try my hand at acting in theatre, they told me I was too old. When I let people know I do not date or plan to remarry, they say I will be sorry when I get old. I did start my business, I tried out, and got the part in several plays and was paid, and I know lots of people who marry in their 50's, 60' s and beyond. I am only 35 years old today and I was told these things several years ago. Never let go of what you feel you need to do to be happy, because, ''Choosing a new path today does not mean the prior years were wasted''
Keep Doing What You're Doing, You'll Keep Getting What You're Getting
Stephanie Knobel of http://www.weeklytips.com/archive/business/www.fabulouslyfemale.com says, ''It always sticks out. Every time I am getting frustrated by something, not enough hits to a site, a cheating husband (g), I think 'if you keep doing what you're doing, you'll keep getting what you're getting...' and it helps me totally switch gears.''
What Are You Gonna Do?
'''What
are you gonna do?' is my mantra,'' says Jenette Rotatori-Zubero, strategist
and coach. ''For example, if I'm following my heart on an issue and I know
other's aren't going to agree, I'll say, 'well, what are you gonna do?' Asking
myself this question helps to bring out possible solutions there might be
or it helps to clarify that there might be nothing I choose to do about it.
If there are solutions I'm willing to work on, then great... I know what ''I'm
gonna do about it,'' but if I'm not willing to act on possible solutions,
then that's okay, too. The question helps me to realize that as long as I'm
doing
what's true to my own heart, then not to worry too much about what other's
think.''
I Can Make a Difference
Cathleen Fillmore, a writer and speaker who coaches and publishes a marketing newsletter for speakers, says, ''I give talks on telling the truth. One thing I say and try to apply to my life is: ''We don't suffer from delusions of grandeur, we suffer from delusions of insignificance.'' We tend to think we're smaller than we really are and overlook that divine spark within. We sometimes think what we do doesn't really matter in the larger scheme of things. It does.''
Nothing Can Take the Place of Persistence
Lucinda Jenkins of Glennbrook Farms Herbs and Such http://www.weeklytips.com/archive/business/www.fabulouslyfemale.com says, ''I have sitting right here by my computer for the times when I question myself or just want to give up, a quote by Earl Nightingale, 'Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; there is nothing more commonplace than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education alone will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and Determination alone are omnipotent.'''
Trust Your Instincts
Cheryl Demas of http://www.wahm.com/ says, ''I always try to remember to trust my instincts. It seems that whenever I've gotten into a bad situation has been when I've let someone talk me into something that didn't 'feel' right, or let them convince me that they knew my situation better than I knew it myself. I've decided that no one knows my business and my unique situation as well as I do, and I try to remember to trust myself and my own judgement now.''
Never be Afraid to Try
''Never be afraid to try ...you are probably more of an expert than you thought.'' says Caroline of A Moms Love http://www.amomslove.com/. ''For example when I began my cooking business, I was an excellent cook, but I was a little unsure that my skills were marketable. I could have stopped right there and said.... nope I am too timid to step out and take a chance. Instead, I proceeded, took a course from an expert which gave me the confidence and push that I needed. But, I was much more of an expert than I thought. I believe most of us do not venture out into avenues we would like to because of fear of failure or because we are intimidated by our self-expectations or perhaps by others' imagined or real criticism. We may be missing out on a whole new world by not taking that first step, which is to realize...expertise begins somewhere.''
Don't Forget the Elbow Grease
''The only place that success comes before work, is in the dictionary,'' is the motto of Amy Schamburek of http://www.20ishparents.com/. ''To be successful is something that you work at being, it just does not happen without a little know how and determination. Success is measured differently for each person. In my business what is failure to one is success to another. I measure my success by how much work it took and how it makes me feel. It can apply to your home life as well. My marriage is successful because I work at it.''
Marcia
Rosen, author of ''The Woman's Business Therapist:
Eliminate the MindBlocks and RoadBlocks to Success''
published by Chandler House Press http://www.weeklytips.com/archive/business/www.womanbusinesstherapist.com,
says, ''It's great to believe the universe will provide for you, that you
can hope and pray for what you want and need, however, I think it is absolutely
essential to also take action, and sometimes massive action to get what you
want and need
BONUS: Create Once, Sell Many
I'll add one of my own here to give you 11 mottoes for success. Mine is ''Create Once, Sell Many.'' Use anything you create 5 or 6 times. For example, an article you write can be turned into a special report that you give as a bonus item when people by your products. It can be used as a section in a book, or you can use it as a hand-out for a seminar or the basis of a teleclass. Stretch the mileage from every creation.
So there you have them, the 10 Mottoes for Success & your bonus 11th. Incorporate them into your daily routine and note the differences they make in your life and business.

TECHNOLOGY
MAKE SHORT AFFILIATE LINKS
By Azam Cory
When you join any kind of affiliate program, you'll be given a unique referral URL. Usually this is in the form of:
http://www.AffiliateCompany.com/BlahBlah?LongNumber
This poses no problem on a web site. However if you're advertising in Ezines or Email lists, an URL like this can look messy and take up too much space (some are even longer than my example).
It also announces to the world that you're an affiliate; something you may wish to avoid in certain circumstances.
Even worse, the reader may copy and paste the URL into their browser, and intentionally or not, omit your referral ID.
If you have a web site with your own domain name there's a very quick and easy workaround: set up a redirect page in the root directory of your own site using the meta "refresh" tag.
To do this, create a new page containing the following code:
<----Start Code---->
<HTML> <HEAD>
<META http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://www. AffiliateCompany.com/BlahBlah?LongNumber">
<TITLE>ProgramName</TITLE>
</HEAD> <BODY></BODY> </HTML>
<-----End Code----->
Note: place your unique referral URL immediately after "URL="
Save the page as something short and apt (like the program name for example), and upload it to the root directory of your site.
You now have a new URL to use in your ads in the form of:
http://www.MyDomain.com/program.html
Which is not only shorter and less obvious, it looks far more professional too. Even if someone uses copy/paste and misses off the "program.html" bit you'll still get a visit to your site. A good second best!
To see this in action click on this URL:
http://www.nowsell.com/wipeout.html
As you do so, watch your browser's status bar and navigation window closely.
If you don't have your own domain - don't feel left out - you can do the same, but your URL will of course be longer.
Here's another way you may prefer to use:
Go to one of the many URL forwarding services online - the ones you use to shorten long free web site addresses. I used to use www.cjb.net a lot because the URLs are short, but there are many others. Just do a search for "url forwarding" or similar.
Instead of registering your home page, use it to link to your affiliate referral URL. Now you've got a short redirect URL too!
For an example click on the URL http://winning.cjb.net/ and keep an eye on the status bar and navigation window of your browser.

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE :
10 TIPS THAT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE !
By Ray Kelly
When most people are told they have high blood pressure (or Hypertension) it comes as quite a shock. With many people being diagnosed between the ages of 25-45, it is fast becoming a great concern for both the individual and their families. The problem is, it has no early symptoms. You feel good, life’s great. Yes, you may be a little unfit and you could eat better, but generally you feel fine.
If you’re lucky, you’ll get a warning. Some people will have dizzy spells whilst for others the early warning comes as a mild heart attack. If you are one of the lucky ones who get the warning, don’t take it lightly.
Hypertension is part of the collective term ‘Cardiovascular Disease’. Cardiovascular Disease encompasses high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart failure, and stroke. It is the biggest killer in the western world with 696,947 deaths in 2002 in the US alone. When blood pressure is measured, you get two numbers: the Systolic (top number), and the Diastolic ( bottom number). Of most concern is the diastolic reading. A reading of 80-90 is considered “pre-hypertension”. This means that you’re not in danger yet but it would be a good idea to start modifying your lifestyle. If your diastolic blood pressure is over 90, then you have high blood pressure and you should get medical advice immediately. Getting on top of it early can make all the difference.
The 10 Tips for Reducing Blood Pressure
High Blood Pressure can be reduced significantly and quickly through making minor adjustments to your lifestyle. Until then, these guidelines should be followed:
1. Have regular medical checks, especially if you are over 40, overweight, smoke, or lead an inactive lifestyle.
2. Start an exercise program. Obtain a medical clearance prior to starting.
3.
The exercise program must be gradual, regular and aerobic in nature (walking/cycling).
Start by walking 5
days per week, for 10-20 minutes. Something as simple as walking 10 minutes
per day can reduce blood pressure to the extent where medication is no longer
required
4. Give up cigarettes (or at least cut down!). Giving up cigarettes has been proven to be the greatest single factor in improving your health fast.
5. Eliminate salt from your diet. As salt travels through the body it draws fluid out of the blood vessels, which in turn increases blood pressure.
6. Avoid isometric exercises. These are exercises where you exert force against an immovable object (eg, trying to lift something really heavy). You generally hold your breath whilst doing this, and that will make your blood pressure skyrocket.
7. Avoid sudden changes in temperature as this too can increase blood pressure and put extra strain on a weak heart.
8.
Don't lift anything above your head. It doesn’t matter whether its weights,
or a can of baked beans. In fact, I
know a person who has to sit down to wash his hair because his blood pressure
rises whenever he raises his arms up!
9.
Focus on your breathing throughout any lifting or stretching as holding your
breath will increase blood pressure.
10.
Don’t use pulse rate as a direct measure of exercise intensity if blood
pressure medications are being used, as
these can decrease pulse rate significantly.
High
blood pressure does not have to be a death sentence. Give it the respect it
deserves and it just may turn out to
be a positive turning point.
The start of the new (fit and healthy) you!
