Update From Jeff
Howdy Ya'll - great to have you back for another
week of fun and learning.
Wanted to thank everyone for the FLOOD of responses
to my email survey sent out Wednesday - asking about
everyone's biggest obstacles to reaching their
online marketing goals.
Fascinating reading - I'll have more in the next
issue.
Well it's been a HOT week on the forums, in internet
marketing circles -- what with the latest Joe Kumar
posts, marketers threatening other marketers, and
exadurated claims being discovered almost daily!
I want to ask one thing....
Has Everyone Gone INSANE?
I mean really, it's like everyone -- all at once --
decided let's stop being productive, let's give up
on our dreams, let's stop helping people, let's see
how many ways we can piss people off today!
How productive is all this CRAP?
Don't know about you - but it's been tough to focus
this week on having fun, helping people and doing a
good job at business fundamentals.
It's time to go back and look at what TRULY successful
business people DO - Discover what Walt Disney, Bill
Gates and Sam Walton can teach us about business
success...in this week's Feature Article.
Listen, I found someone who is FOCUSED on his business!
I've had the great benefit of working with Michael
Nicholas on his latest book called "OrderButtonTriggers"
in past weeks - just received the final copy last week.
I've spent $1000's of dollars on copywriting - learning
to write websites, messages, ads, and articles that
sell products.
But I've NEVER seen a product that breaks down the exact
techniques used by TOP SELLING internet sites - techniques
that make people click the order button.
Sure - you've heard that, by some magical osmosis method,
you're supposed to "pickup" copywriting by studying
successful sales letters. Problem is...
How do you know what techniques, what words, which
triggers are the ones generating orders ?
If you are frustrated with your sales letter performance,
have trouble crafting profit-pulling ads, or are just
getting into your online business then you NEED this book
...

Ah, and here's more - Check out this week's interview with
Don Monteith, creator of cool new ebook "How To Get Your
Dream Job...In 30 Days or Less" at:

Have a great week everyone,
talk to you again soon.

FEATURE ARTICLE
"Business Success Secrets From Bill Gates, Sam Walton
and Walt Disney"
by Jeff Smith
What could you possibly learn from geeky Bill gates,
thrifty Sam Walton or "Mouse" man Walt Disney?
It's no accident these guys ended up living their
dreams and making truckloads of money.
HAVE YOU NOTICED THE TREND?
Is your eye on the Prize, rather than on adding value?
Have you noticed that online marketing has turned into
a money-grabbing, greed-induced, morally deficient
environment?
There are WAY too many online guru's, experts and noise
makers that have forgotten that the way to generate true
wealth and happiness is to add value to somone else's
life.
Bill Gates had a vision to have a PC in every home.
Why?
It wasn't to make Billions - it was because he truly
saw the potential computer applications and how they
may help educate, entertain and enrich people's lives.
Sam Walton - his vision was to not only build the best
value discount chain ever, but to employ a "family" of
employees (associates) where he would enrich their lives.
How about good ol' Walt?
The biggest dreamer of the bunch, Walt Disney's past is
filled with vision and dreams of making people happy,
improving the world - making money became important ONLY
out of necessity of realizing his dream of improving
the world!
THINGS ARE JUST TOO BASS-ACKWORDS
Is it the desire for fast riches?
Are behaviors being driven by the need to maintain
unrealistic lifestyles - usually to fill in for other
voids in our lives?
Is it that we don't want to work for our success?
Is it that we don't dream anymore?
You may find this interesting --
LESSONS TAUGHT BY BUSINESS MOGULS
Bill Gates certainly didn't earn his Billions based on
charisma, communication ability, or his ability to
interact with his customers.
What did set Bill Gates aside from those who can only
dream about achieving what he has achieved are:
self-confidence, strong vision, passion and timing.
Very early on, Bill Gates stated that his goal was to
put a PC in every home -- he's almost achieved that
seemingly crazy statement in just a few short years.
It all started with a VISION that was backed by his own
PASSION for technology, computers, and their applications
to improving people's lives.
It was very clear that Bill Gates was not in it purely
for the money - from day one!
How about Sam Walton?
Mr Walton brings a few other characteristics to the table:
Extremely good understanding of his customers, unwaivering
respect for his "team" of associates, and a patience that
saw him spend years TESTING his business model - building
slow and stead growth - not succumbing to the BIG BUCK.
Sam Walton new his vision was a good one - to build a line
of discount stores that would provide even more value to
it's customers than their competitor - KMart.
By running a few stores and constantly testing the product
mix - after years, he finally arrived at the right combination
that stuck.
Walt Disney teaches us to dream BIG - even when you are
starting with very small means.
Walt -- with little more than $40 in his pocket -- stated that
he would make great Hollywood movies someday. How crazy must
that have sounded?
Then - he dared to DREAM BIGGER - when he decided to turn his
animation characters into multi-streamed entertainment products
including television, books, and his biggest dream of all -
Disney World.
He didn't even live to see the opening of Disney World - but
what a dream?
LET ME ASK YOU A TOUGH QUESTION?
What are you willing to do to live your dreams?
How many false starts are you prepared to have?
How much action are you willing to take in the face of many
setbacks?
Are you willing to be true to your dreams, beliefs, character
and ethics - even when times seem really tough?
These are questions we all must answer EVERYDAY no matter what
business or life we are leading.
Hopefully - we are able to say YES allot more than NO.

which covers over 32 years working with Recruiters and Staffing

of knowledge gleaned from the job placement arena.
Jeff [Question]
Don, if you had to pick 3 CRITICAL things to do right in finding
your perfect job or career - what would they be?
Don Monteith [Answer]
(1) Set a plan (2) Make a decision (3) take action ~ then I'd have
to say read and follow the action steps outlined in the e-book.
Jeff [Question]
Who is your target market for this book Don? Is it strictly

ability to make good decisions with the knowledge gained by reading

Don Monteith [Answer]
Most of the e-book is based on my "in-the-trenches" experiences,
however, Recruiters, Staffing executives, and hiring professionals
have been invited to share from their perspective. One of my most
