Any fans of “The Cure” out there?

I’m writing my next issue of  “The Weekly Whisper©” and the band The Cure is creeping into my writings. Being the highly trained researcher I am (translated, “easily distracted”) I peeked into my iTunes library to see what classic tunes of theirs I own.

Thinking back 21 years (AHHH!) I remember getting their 1989 album “Disintegration” for Christmas from my friends and sponsor family at the Air Force Academy and digging that album.

So I hopped on over to the iTunes store and augmented my collection from The Cure with Just Like Heaven, Friday I’m in Love, Why Can’t I Be You, Hot Hot Hot!!!

Rest assured I put myself in timeout for not owning these classics already.

You just gotta love Apple and iTunes. While I sit here in my fuzzy pink slippers with my 3rd cup of Joe I can find 25 year old songs and only buy the ones I really wanted, own them immediately, and crank them on my JBL system off my MacBook Pro and form a mosh pit with my 6 kids, wife and English lab all before 9:30 in the morning.

(Who says Apple has lost its mojo?)

As soon as you figure out how to build that kind of loyalty and create that type of buying experience your recession will be over forever.

How to Enjoy Filing Your 2011 Taxes

Let’s be clear about one thing: the government is the problem, not the solution.

But taxes and death are a way of life in this country so here’s the best way to enjoy filing your taxes 12 months from now. Are you ready?

Kick your own ASS and MAKE A LOT OF MONEY in 2010 while your competition is sucking their thumbs!

Cutting the government a big check each year (and you want to cut the government a big check each year rather than get a check back from the government April 15th because it means they didn’t get to keep your money interest free for 12 months) means you MADE A LOT OF MONEY, which means you added value to the marketplace, which means you are growing your business.

But it won’t come easy.

What are you doing today – right now – that your competition is unwilling and unable to do to ensure you make them leave your marketplace or just close shop?

I know, I know. This sounds so “harsh” and “insensitive” and it makes me appear to be a “hate-monger” and yada, yada, yada but as a friend of mine, Jeff Paro of Influenceology posted this morning, “When the business tide goes out, you can see who is swimming naked.”

It’s a bittersweet time for me right now because... (more...)

“Lying here, during all this time after my own small fall, it has become my conviction that things mean pretty much what we want them to mean. We’ll pluck significance from the least consequential happenstance if it suits us and happily ignore the most flagrantly obvious symmetry between separate aspects of our lives if it threatens some cherished prejudice or cosily comforting belief; we are blindest to precisely whatever might be most illuminating.”
– from Transition, by Iain M. Banks

Still a man hears what he wants to hear 
And disregards the rest
– The Boxer, by Paul Simon

2010 will be another tough year for those that run their businesses with blinders on, clutching to “what worked last year,” moving forward solely jacked up on “hopium” and Tylenol and Pepto Bismol.

The distance you put between yourself and your competition in the next 12 months will pay dividends to your grandchildren.

If you’re willing to work hard with an advisor that is not afraid to call you out on the stupid sh*t you’re doing in your business then call me at 714.369.8004. Don’t even wait to write an email and hope I have time to get to it. Prove to yourself that you’re tired and sick of being tired and sick.

40 Ways To Profit From Your Email Marketing System

“THERE’S GOLD IN THEM THAR INTERNET HILLS!”

I wish I had a half-dollar for every knuckle-head that thought the internet was going to be their salvation.


“All’s I have ta do is have my neighbor’s cousin make me a website and I already have a PayPal account. I’ll be makin’ me some money by suppertime.”

Building an online presence that makes money while you sleep takes either time or money or both to set up and run correctly.

That’s the bad news.

The good news is there are few really hard things you have to do to make money online.

The Secret is that you simply need to do a lot of little, easy things correctly and consistently.
