Tim,

Thanks for visiting my site: www.CircleofGratitude.blogspot.com

That brought me to your site and some very interesting articles.

Loved the one about leaves and water into flatware. What a great idea! Very well done! Good luck with your book. I'll post a link.

All the best,

Jerry Koch

The most inspiring video I've ever seen.

Gift of Love

Gratitude is a "Gift of Love." Gratitude is the
love you are - your authentic self - given freely
to others. More powerful than words, it's a gift
anyone can give; a gift that will enrich your life
while helping to create A Better World.

The expression of gratitude comes with a hidden
secret...a secret that will make you Rich Beyond
Any Measure.

CIRCLE of GRATITUDE
Brought to you by: Pay It Forward 2009

As an entrepreneur with more than 35 years of sales and
marketing experience, I'm ready for my next big adventure.

That adventure is tied to my vision for a membership site
I call "The Circle of Gratitude."

Circle of Gratitude

Its purpose is to attract others of like mind... powerful and
dynamic people who are determined to focus attention on
what they believe and "feel" can be achieved.

You have to believe and so I've set my sights on finding
others who share my passion for Paying it Forward...others
willing to do whatever it takes to create A BETTER
WORLD.

Are you one of those people; someone with a passion
for change? If so, please read on...

Can the world really be changed?

Is it realistic to have world changing expectations? Or,
is it wishful thinking? No question -- I'm a
dreamer and hopeless romantic.

I'm also one who has successfully converted many of
my dreams into reality. I believe we can achieve the
impossible. It just takes longer.

So, I absolutely know the world can be changed but it's
not going to happen the way many folks think. Let me
explain what I mean:

All change is first initiated by thought; which must then
be followed by taking right action. That change begins
with me.

Let me repeat that because it's very important:

THE CHANGE BEGINS WITH ME!

As I change my attitudes and beliefs, the world around
me (those in my immediate world--family, friends, co-workers
and even strangers) begins to change. As people notice the
difference in me, they respond in ways that are a reflection
of my new outlook on life.

When I express gratitude and appreciation for others
(without expectation of anything in return), I get back more
than I've given. Known as the Law of Reciprocity, it's one
of the most profound laws in the universe.

Believe me when I say "it works." It does.

I've experienced it in my own life.

Are you still with me? Then there's a good chance you "get"
what I'm talking about. This doesn't happen overnight. As a
matter of fact I'm working on a vision I've held for more than
30 years.

And so far, I have little to show for it. Like I said before,
you've gotta' believe. It's a process that requires patience
and unconditional commitment. More about that later.

You can manifest success in your life. When you
believe strongly enough, you can make it happen.

Even things which seemed impossible are within your grasp.

If, however, you want lasting and meaningful success,
you'll need to reach out to others.

You can't do this alone!

A partnership of two or more people in agreement
is the starting point for bringing about massive
change and true success.

I'm looking for massive change in my own life and
for the world at large. Powerful agreement is a
catalyst for attracting whatever is needed to
accomplish the goal.

Would you like to join me on this journey?

Circle of Gratitude

In my experience everything worth doing begins from a
place of thankfulness or GENUINE GRATITUDE...
an appreciation for the gifts each of us bring to our world.

It's more like a celebration of "our combined passionate
power to create something together.

Creation grows out of our ability to appreciate the gifts we
already possess. From that starting point, there's growth
and synergy. These are the silent Universal Forces that
create the circle.

This is where it gets exciting...and
magnetic...drawing on the invisible
resources that manifest what we
think about and act on.

Each of us has the power of individual expression (waiting,
in reserve, to be called upon).Working from the inside-out,
it's a FORCE to be reckoned with...

Regardless of what you choose to call it (God, Spirit, the
Creator or Larger Design). For me, it doesn't matter. While
I prefer God, I don't want to get hung up on labels. What's
really important is that I believe in something outside of
myself--it's all part of an irrefutable and proven Universal
Law.

Our changing world is slowly awakening to the truth that
these Universal Laws, in fact, exist.

The Law of Attraction

You may have seen or heard about "The Secret," a movie
based on this Universal Law...also known as the Law of
Attraction.

Again, it doesn't matter what I call it. What does matter
is believing in something greater than myself...that there's
something beyond what I think.

While it may be invisible (like the law of gravity), it's as real
as anything I can see, hear or touch (and far more powerful).

Yes, I can manifest my dreams and desires. My thoughts
are capable of being the inspiration for positive change. But
it's up to me to be an active participant in that change.

For the law to work, it's imperative that I take steps to
modify what I believe and, at the same time, apply right
action.

We are all creators...and we are being called upon to
create A BETTER WORLD...a world that reflects
honesty, integrity and excellence; a world that represents
THE TRUTH and SPIRIT of who we truly are...
something more than what we read in the headlines
every day.

It’s not about me and any selfish needs and desires
I might have. It's about us and our joint "SELFLESS
RESPONSIBILITY" to recognize that we are all
connected... like threads in a finely woven tapestry...
each one a part of something GREATER.

IT'S ALL ONE THING!

The way to true abundance and prosperity comes from
our understanding and recognition that we are all part of
this one thing.

Circles of Gratitude represent the kind of people who
"own" that reality and who seek to expand it by virtue of
their thankfulness.

What are you feeling inside? Is your gut telling you to do
something? What is it you need to take action? Somewhere
there's a "trigger" in your life that inspires and motivates
you; that arouses your passion.

Find that trigger and use it to help others with acts of
kindness and gratitude. When you help others get what
they want, you will draw the same to yourself.

So what place does the "spiritual" have in the world of
business? Is it relevant to Marketing, Networking and
Social Media?

In my own experience, it
couldn't be more relevant.

Perhaps it’s an over simplification, but it seems we are in
a state of something more than financial chaos. I believe
the global economy is merely a symptom of “HOW” all
of us have acted in our lives (and in our businesses) up to
this point.

An overwhelming majority of us have been unconscious
consumers of goods and services while more than half of
the world suffers from starvation and disease. Less than
5% of the world's population controls 95% of the world's
wealth.

That's insane!

I think it's an indicator of the tremendous work we have
before us as co- inhabitants of this place we call our home.

In the United States we have only 4% of the Earth's
population; yet we consume more than 25% of its
resources. Then we gripe about how tough things are.
We find it hard to imagine why so many in the world
hate us. Hmmm?

While these statistics are alarming they don't necessarily
reveal the whole picture. They're somewhat out of context.

The really big questions are: Can we be thankful for
what we have?" And, can we find better ways to increase
what we have (the wealth and abundance) while sharing
knowledge of how to do that with others?

In my opinion, the answer to both questions is YES.

Do we have an obligation to share our good fortune with
others?

That's an even BIGGER QUESTION... and the answer
is not so simple. Why is it not simple? I believe it depends
upon "how" we give to others.

If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day.
If you teach a man "how" to fish, you feed him for
the rest of his life.

While it's nice to feed someone...isn't it better to invest our
time and effort into teaching them how to be self supporting
and independent?

This is where the Law of Attraction comes into play--
where Paying It Forward becomes an example--an
invitation for others to "see" how it's done and to
become part of the process.

Paying It Forward involves gifting three other people
who,in turn, do the same. From there it grows exponentially.

This is powerful and exciting stuff! It's contagious
and it's a proven way to changes lives. If we truly want
to see "change" this is the starting point. It's how we
change our world and reinvent our future.

Want a further glimpse of how this works? Watch an episode
of Extreme Home Makeover. Or watch the build up of emotion
as volunteers with Habitat For Humanity come together to help
someone who is less fortunate. Look at the real tears streaming
down faces...real tears born out of the generosity of creating
something together. That's it!

It's also the point where the Circle of Gratitude begins...which
is notching it up to the next level. Creating partnerships and
alliances; to add value to others in ways that bring a sense of
increase to all.

This is key to attracting more into your own life. It's
also a measure of true success.

A few things to consider:

Wars don’t work!

They only reflect the depth of our ignorance and the
degree of our insanity.

Greed and corruption don’t really serve anyone except
when the schemes bubble to the surface and arouse our
anger. Fortunately, that's what wakes us up!

Like a Tsunami or tornado, natural disasters often strike
without warning. In shock, we are forced to recheck our
sensibilities and perceptions. The heroes come forth and
we are thankful once again.

Must we wait for the Perfect Storm
before we act?

Why does it take a crisis to bring us together? Maybe
the current financial meltdown will provide stepping stones
to a more successful future. Maybe it'll help us see things
from a new perspective and teach us to celebrate our
differences.

I like that. Call me a dreamer but I love the idea of living
in a world united by a spirit of cooperation. Maybe it won't
happen in my lifetime, but I think it's worth working toward.

That's the kind of world I'd like to leave for the
next generation.

I wonder how many
people share a similar vision?

I'll continue to keep that dream alive and I'll keep
"seeing the glass" as half-full!

Is it really about who's right?

My gut says: “It’s something greater than that.” I think
of it as a WAKE UP call… one that makes me more
aware of what we are doing to ourselves, our children
and the planet as a whole?

What worked before is no longer working and I
think there are some big lessons to be learned.

All indicators point to a changing world more
responsive to a diverse population...and less about
control and domination.

I think we're seeing the start of that "shift" unfold
right now. What's happening in Egypt and the Middle
Eastern countries is just the tip of the iceberg.

Is this change happening because of
the Internet?

The Internet provides everyone with an equal voice…
and forces greater levels of transparency. In my
experience, the internet opens a door to hope and
possibility.

It levels the playing field.

The internet creates a place for open dialog...a place
where people can share information and gain new
insight.

It's also a vehicle for commerce that will ultimately change
the way we shop for our goods and services. At the same
time, because of its transparency, it will 'smoke out' the
unscrupulous traders who prey upon the uneducated,
naive and innocent.

People hate being sold. But they love doing business
with those they like, trust and respect.

This presents a golden opportunity for entrepreneurs and
visionaries to create viable long term relationships based
on their ability to deliver authentic value.

Reputable business owners who care about people, will
win the favor of customers who want more than a
transaction...

The new breed of internet entrepreneurs know how to
build relationship and treasure their reputation as creators
of value.

These are just a few of the changes I see for A BETTER
WORLD. These changes are the starting point for creating
a legacy worthy of leaving to our children. I think most parents
would agree.

We owe our kids more...they really do deserve our
best. Isn't it time we started thinking about them and
stopped mortgaging their future?

From where I see it, we no longer have an excuse for
running our lives in ways that disregard and disrespect our
children; or anyone else for the sake of commerce or merely
trading dollars to give“the appearance of prosperity.” We
must remove the illusions if we hope to survive.

That can only happen when we
decide to come together as one
people sharing what we have in
common...ONE planet.

We live on an abundant planet with more than enough
for every man, woman and child; for every animal, plant
and living organism.

Can we begin to see those who are starving and
oppressed as a part of ourselves? Can we find a way
to end the blame, criticism and judgement?

Can we replace hatred with LOVE?

Only when we recognize “WHO” we truly are (from the
inside-out) and when we consciously decide to align our
thoughts with the Larger Universal Laws will our physical
world be transformed.

We already have the power but do
we have the understanding?

Driven by our egos instead of our hearts.

Our unconscious sleepwalk is leading us down a path
of chaos and destruction.

The good news is that we can rise above it. We can awaken
to the invitation that's available to each and every one of us.

We can...
"be the change we wish to see."

It starts with gratitude and a conscious effort to align with
others of like mind. We all dance the same dance. We sing
the same song and we breathe the same air.

Hiding beneath tough and beaten exteriors, we all
have a desire to be heard...and loved.

We are ONE incredible voice with many tones. It's now
time to recognize 'who' we are and to bring that greatness
to the table.

Learning to collectively redirect our thoughts into
ACTS of GRATITUDE will begin the process. That
inspired action will bring about a harvest that's Rich
Beyond Any Measure.

The world is changing. With that change we have an
opportunity to create anew and to tap into the Universal
Abundance in ways we can't begin to imagine.

Now is the time to manifest real and lasting
prosperity for all.

This is how it's done. Finding out who you are on the
inside and Paying It Forward is the key to understanding
our mission and purpose on Earth. It's why I'm here.

It's what I've come to do....what we've come to do.
Don't be afraid to sing your song or to dance your
dance.

Act with passion and raw emotion...Let the world "see,"
"hear" and "touch" your spirit. Don't miss an opportunity to
show everyone who you really are.

This is your stage!

Create your best life by living it fully.

START NOW!

REMEMBER: "Today is the first day of the rest
of your life." Give it everything you've got.

It's the Circle of Gratitude. It's the gift of love I
spoke about earlier.This is the circle I invite you to help
create. Together we can make it more than a dream;
more than a vision.

Together we can make it
a reality.

Please leave a comment if any of this rings true
for you and you would like to be part of this
change.

I'd love to hear your thoughts about what you
think it will take Tell to create A Better World.

NEVER GIVE UP...

“When In Doubt, Don’t Give Up”

Say to yourself: “I’m a Winner. I will never quit...”

Can you visualize those words? Great!

Shout them out loud (to the music chamber deep
within your soul). Don't worry, no one will hear you.

Then say: “I came to make this world a better place.”

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world"
~Mohandes Gandi

That's right...I'm talking to you. You can do it!

Okay.You're probably thinking, what can I do?

I'm just a "tiny microspeck" in the vast and
endless universe. How can I "be the change" in
a world filled with so much poverty and despair?

Truth is I can't change the world. And neither
can you.

I can only change me and the way I choose
to think and act.

Like it or not, that's all any of us can do.

We each have to make a choice to change our own
thinking.

When we focus on "bigger problems" our problems
grow even bigger...and the obstacles in front of us

can seem overwhelming...

The good news is I always have a choice.

I don't have to look at obstacles as road blocks. I have
the power to change my perception...the power to "see"
every obstacle as a stepping stone.

It requires a shift in my thinking, but it's something I
can do. I can create a ripple of success by turning
the whole thing into a game (one I can play everyday of
my life).

Instead of seeing problems, I'm focused on
solutions...on getting results!

Imagine a world filled with people who learn "how"
to play this simple yet effective mind altering game?

What a different world it would be.

WOW! WHAT A GREAT IDEA!

Stepping stones to success?

It really is a matter of perspective, isn't it? Each of
us has the power to choose our thoughts. And, our
thoughts determine our actions.

"Ordinary people believe only in the possible.
Extraordinary people visualize not what is
possible or probable, but rather what is
impossible. And by visualizing the impossible,
they begin to see what is possible."
~Cherie Carter-Scott

Obstacles are merely an invitation to move closer
to our goals…to go over, under, around or thru
whatever is in my way.

So then, my job is to simply get it done...to act in spite
of my fear (yes, can you believe it? I have fears--
plenty of 'em-- enough to easily stop me dead in
my tracks). Most of us do...As long as we learn to
manage our fears, we can convert each of those
obstacles into stepping stones to success!

I 've never been the biggest or strongest one in
the race, but I can tell you with absolute certainty:
no one has more determination or desire.

I give it 100%, (one hundred percent of the time)
while managing my life with honesty, integrity and
excellence.

It's taken me many years to adopt this attitude but
it's something I wouldn't trade for any amount of money.

Why would anyone choose to endure the possibility of
defeat... just to achieve some goal or measure of success?

I can't speak for anyone else but I do it because I hope
somehow it will make a difference!

Someone may be influenced by my thoughts, deeds and
actions.

For me, it has become a way of living my life. And I'm
willing to do whatever it takes to keep the throttle wide

open...

“I’m a winner and I know, in my
heart, that winners never quit.”

I choose not to complain or make excuses.

In my experience I know “If it’s 'gonna be, it’s up to me.”

Life gives many of us a healthy dose of failure just to see
what we're made of...to test us for our ability to get up
when we have fallen... to see if we have "what it takes"
to finish the race.

I hope you took time to look at the above link...it really

hits the mark!

The wisest of men know it takes darkness for one to
fully appreciate the light...

The bitterness of defeat provides a perfect backdrop
for winners to develop the courage and resilience to
persevere.

When "their day finally arrives" they're ready for the
sweet victory of success.

I've had more than my share of failure. Still, I consider
myself more fortunate than most.

The reason is because I finally figured out “why”
I’m here!

I came to make this world a better place… to make
a lasting impression; some small but hopefully
significant contribution and to help create a
meaningful legacy for our children… and for their
children after them.

I’m here to set an example...to offer proof by my own
living; to be the very best I can be...to give it all I've
got...in each and every moment.

This is something I must do...It's that important!

I MUST SUCCEED!

Winners accept the possibility of "temporary defeat"
as they fail their way to success. Winners simply refuse
to give up! I take full responsibility for changing my
attitude and my life... and that, I believe, is key to how
we "change the world" one person at a time.

I'm a winner...and winners never quit. As a winner I'm
committed to doing whatever it takes. And none of this
is about me. It's the Life Force inside (the God Spirit if
you prefer) seeking full expression through me.

Does any of this make sense to you?

If you resonate with these words, please leave

a comment.

I'd love to hear your story and how you triumphed
over adversity (how you failed your way
to success).

it's worth giving it 100%"

"A NEW EARTH"
by Eckhart Tolle

"A New Earth..." could it become one of the greatest literary
works of the 21st century?

If there were only one vote, it would have my vote. If I
had to choose from a thousand books to read, this would
be "the one" I would choose.

I'm certainly no authority on literature, spirituality or on raising
levels of conscious awareness. But I am a passionate lover of
those whose lives exemplify "the truth" in their own
living and the awesome power that "explodes" when those
thoughts are shared and/or revealed.

I'm in awe of Tolle's inspirational work and equally inspired by
Oprah Winfrey's willingness to embrace and co-orchestrate the
powerful transformational series of "Earth Changing" declarations
in her Monday evening webinars.

I celebrate every day and every single person who "finds" and
incorporates these principles of living a Larger and More
Powerful Life.

THE BUSHIDO CODE...

"In the heart of one man
lives the soul of a warrior."

In the end, we're all
called upon to be warriors.

To take a stand for what we truly believe.
A stand for the truth of "who" we are.

Do you have the courage to succeed?

When the going gets rough, will you live
your truth in the face of all obstacles;
no matter what?

Will you win the respect and
admiration of those you
serve?

Will you bring distinction and
recognition to everything
you do?

These are the "hidden from view"
questions that confront all of us
each and every moment of our lives.

How we answer those questions (for
ourselves) determines the depth of
our spirit; gives meaning to "who"
and "what" we are.

"The Last Samurai" puts it on the
big screen for all to view. And while Tom
Cruise "acts" the part of the warrior, we are
reminded of the qualities of character it takes
to be the warrior in our own lives.
THIS IS NO SMALL THING!

To my mind,"The Last Samurai"
reveals what each of us is capable of;
and that each successful act contributes
to the sum of who we are.

Why is this so important? Because it's
"the soul stuff" that we can rightly claim
while PAYING IT FORWARD to the next
generation of ENLIGHTENED WARRIORS.

That generation is comprised of our
children and grandchildren. Do we
consider them valuable enough to
take a stand for what is right?

Will we leave them A Better World?
Or, will they inherit one built on lies and
distortion...a legacy built upon a fear-
based foundation of greed and undeniable
manipulation?

I only hope there are enough people
left in our world who "care enough" to
take a stand...who care about old-
fashioned values and who demonstrate
a quality of character worthy of
representing the Real Warrior Within.

People of courage, of loyalty, of honor...

Watch the Bushido Warrior in ACTION.

Are We Living In The 11th Hour?

Mankind is facing a global crisis of epic proportions...all of us
are being called upon to "WAKE UP" to meet the greatest
challenge faced by this generation.

Leonardo DiCaprio, in a film described as both
"Brilliant and Terrifying" invites us to get in touch with the
"NEW" reality.

It seems we're on a self-destructive collision course with
nature and the signals are getting louder and louder each day.

This gut wrenching film poses so many questions.

"Are We Living In The 11th Hour?"
"Are we prepared to face the impending
global crisis?"

And, if so, what will we do?

The evidence is now clear. Not only is it the 11th
hour, but it's 11:59 and the clock is ticking.

That opens the door to even more questions. And
no easy answers.

Are You Ready To Make A Difference?

What Is It YOU Want To Pay Forward?

These are the questions All Of Us MUST ANSWER!

TURN THE LIGHTS OUT!

Blackout In San Francisco...

This morning I was posting to my forums in Downline
Partners where I happened upon an update from DP
founder Danny Despres calling attention to "Lights Out
San Francisco" and further pointing out that the Google
search page had gone black.

Well, I like Danny because he always has something
interesting to say. So naturally, I clicked on the link.
Sure enough, there it was: Google, All Dressed
In Black.

So what? Is this news? Is Google honoring a
death?

On first glance I noticed that the colorful Google logo
"popped" right off the page and I thought: "Well, isn't
that a novel way to grab a little more attention?"

After all, Google is one powerful marketing
machine.

But then, I saw the tag line: "We've turned the lights out.
Now it's your turn - Earth hour."

What's that all about? With my curiosity even more
aroused, I clicked on the Earth Hour link.

To my surprise it was a short blurb about a program
Google is supporting to raise awareness of a global event
that takes place on March 29, 2008.

That's today!

OMG! And it's all happening in less than 8 hours.

As someone who is commited to raising social
consciousness, I thought: "That's What I Call A Great
Idea!"

So then I thought, why not share this with everyone
in my world? Could I help make a difference?

I knew the answer...Of course I could!

And so, here it is... Go to: Blackout In San Francisco.

P.S. Want to know the reason I love Downline Partners?
It's because they put "Cooperation Above Competition."
I love that! And my friend Zach just created that new tag.
Also, I happen to think it's a perfect tie-in to my Pay It
Forward effort. And who knows...maybe I'll even get
lucky enough to get Google to tie in and support my
Circle of Gratitude?

A SIMPLE WAY
TO PAY IT FORWARD…

This inspirational E-mail caught my attention.
I do not know the identity of the author, so I am not able
to give the appropriate recognition for such a beautiful message.

PLEASE TAKE SOME TIME AND ENJOY...

''Here's to T-bone steaks, yellow roses
and friendship.

FOR THOSE WHO STILL BELIEVE IN THE MAGIC OF FRIENDSHIP, THIS INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE WILL "TUG" AT YOUR HEART STRINGS!!!!
PLEASE READ IT NOW!

And then re-read it. Especially the last part...I walked
into the grocery store not particularly interested in
buying groceries. I wasn't hungry. The pain of losing my
husband of 7 years was still too raw.

And this grocery store held so many sweet memories.
He often came with me and almost every time he'd
pretend to go off and look for something special. I knew
what he was up to. I'd always spot him walking down the
aisle with the three yellow roses in his hands. He knew I
loved yellow roses.

With a heart filled with grief, I only wanted to buy my few
items and leave, but even grocery shopping was different
since he had passed on. Shopping for one took time, a little
more thought than it had for two.

Standing by the meat, I searched for the perfect small steak
and remembered how he had loved his steak.

Suddenly a woman came beside me. She was blond, slim
and lovely in a soft green pantsuit. I watched as she picked
up a large package of T-bones, dropped them in her basket
hesitated, and then put them back. She turned to go and
once again reached for the pack of steaks.She saw me
watching her and she smiled. "My husband loves T-bones,
but honestly, at these prices, I don't know."

I swallowed the emotion down my throat and met her pale
blue eyes."My husband passed away eight days ago," I told her.
Glancing at the package in her hands, I fought to control the
tremble in my voice. "Buy him the steaks. And cherish every
moment you have together."She shook her head and I saw the
emotion in her eyes as she placed the package in her basket and
wheeled away.

I turned and pushed my cart across the length of the store to the
dairy products. There I stood, trying to decide which size milk I
should buy. A quart, I finally decided and moved on to the ice
cream. If nothing else, I could always fix myself an ice cream cone.
I placed the ice cream in my cart and looked down the aisle toward
the front. I saw first the green suit, and then recognized the pretty
lady coming towards me. In her arms she carried a package. On her
face was the brightest smile I had ever seen.

I would swear a soft halo encircled her blond hair as she kept
walking toward me, her eyes holding mine. As she came closer,
I saw what she held and tears began misting in my eyes. "These
are for you," she said and placed three beautiful long stemmed
yellow roses in my arms. "When you go through the line, they
will know these are paid for." She leaned over and placed a gentle
kiss on my cheek, then smiled again.

I wanted to tell her what she'd done, what the roses meant, but
still unable to speak, I watched as she walked away as tears
clouded my vision. I looked down at the beautiful roses nestled
in the green tissue wrapping and found it almost unreal. How did
she know?

Suddenly the answer seemed so clear.

I wasn't alone.

Oh, you haven't forgotten me, have you? I whispered, with
tears in my eyes. He was still with me, and she was his angel.

Every day be thankful for what you have and who you are
(Please read all of this, it is really nice).

This is a simple request. If you appreciate life, send this to your
friends including the person that sent it to you.

Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings;
thank you, Lord, that I can hear. There are many who are deaf.

Even though I keep my eyes closed against the morning light
as long as possible; thank you, Lord, that I can see. Many are
blind.

Even though I huddle in my bed and put off rising;
thank you, Lord, that I have the strength to rise. There
are many who are bedridden.

Even though the first hour of my day is hectic, when socks
are lost, toast is burned, tempers are short, and my children
are so loud; thank you, Lord, for my family. There are many
who are lonely.

Even though our breakfast table never looks like the picture
in magazines and the menu is at times unbalanced; thank you,
Lord, for the food we have. There are many who are hungry.

Even though the routine of my job often is monotonous; thank
you, Lord, for the opportunity to work. There are many who
have no job.

Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from
day to day and wish my circumstances were not so
modest; thank you, Lord, for life.

Pass this on to the friends you know. It might help a bit to make
this world a better place to live, right?

A friend is someone we turn to when our spirits need a lift.

A friend is someone to treasure. For friendship is a gift.

A friend is someone who fills our lives withBeauty, Joy and Grace
and makes the world we live in a better and happier place.

YOU ARE MY FRIEND!

God bless you and yours.

Jerry

If at times you feel unsure about how to be grateful then I hope this inspirational e-mail will be the light that opens the door to all that each of us have to be grateful for.

THIS IS TODAY

Today is here. I will start with a smile, and resolve to be agreeable.
I will not criticize. I refuse to waste my valuable time.

Today has one thing in which I know I am equal with others – time.
All of us draw the same salary in seconds, minutes and hours.

Today I will not waste my time, because the minutes I wasted
yesterday are as lost as a vanished thought.

Today I refuse to spend time worrying about what might happen.
I am going to spend my time making things happen.

Today I am determined to study to improve myself, for tomorrow
I may be wanted, and I must not be found lacking.

Today I am determined to do things I should do. I firmly
determine to stop doing the things I should not do.

Today I begin by doing, and not wasting my time. In one week I
will be miles beyond the person I am today.

Today I will not imagine what I would do if things were different.
They are not different. I will make success with what material I have.

Today I will stop saying, “If I had time,” for I never will “find time”
for anything – if I want time I must take it.

Today I will act toward other people as though this might be
my last day on earth. I will not wait for tomorrow. Tomorrow never comes.

"Judge each day not by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant."

HARVESTING SUCCESS...

Article Reprinted From The Forum At Downline Partners

Danny Despres, the owner of the Downline Partners website, has been involved in the development of automated Internet marketing systems since 2004 and has been actively studying the network marketing / MLM home business opportunity industry since 2000.

Here's What Danny Has To Say About Harvesting Success...

Perhaps one of the best ways to illustrate the difference between the poor and the rich is by looking at agriculture...

A farmer buys some seeds and all the machinery required to plant, grow and harvest them. Then the farmer spends months of unpaid work and a lot of his money to grow his seeds so that he can harvest later on and finally reap the rewards of all his hard work.

To speed things up, the farmer can spend more of his money and hire workers to plant and grow his seeds for him. The workers then invest their time to grow the farmer's business and when harvesting time comes, the workers get nothing of the rewards as they were already rewarded for their work (salary). The farmer makes so much (profit*s) from selling his harvest that he can pay more and more workers to do his work for him. The farmer ends up doing less and less work himself yet makes more and more money.

10 years pass and the worker is still stuck in the same hole, still working hard for his money but the farmer sold his farm and now lives in a mansion.

Moral of the story: grow your own seeds!

Working from home and growing your network marketing home business is not unlike this farming story. It does require hard work in the beginning and you are not paid for that work, you are only paid for the results that you achieve (harvest). However once those results start coming in, they keep coming month after month without any extra work being required as your "trees keep producing fruits".

Your businesses even grow faster and faster on their own as your customers start growing their own businesses within your organization. I guess we could call the network marketing industry the business of growing money trees... Every single customer you refer is a potential money tree and you need to nurture it so that it grows big and strong!

Take excellent care of your customers and they'll reward you handsomely for it!

Here's To Your Success....

Success and Spirituality...How Important Are They?

http://www.downlinepartners.com/?800success/forums/viewtopic.php?t=960

"When you examine the lives of the most influential people who have ever walked among us, you discover one thread that winds thru them all. They have been aligned first with their spiritual nature and only then with their physical selves."

Albert Einstein

In my life, the "spiritual" aspect has been a key factor in my personal success. I consider myself very fortunate to have "tapped into" this remarkably powerful information early on. One essential part of my journey was discovering "The Science of Getting Rich" by Wallace D. Wattles.

This classic work deals with the irrefutable LAWS OF THE UNIVERSE and offers proof for why true abundance and prosperity are much more important than the mere acquisition of wealth.

Wally is dead...has been for almost 100 years...but his message lives on and is as true today as it was when it was originally written.

"You can advance only by being larger than your present place and no one is larger than his present place who leaves undone any of the work pertaining to that place. The world is advanced only by those who more than fill their present places."

Wallace Wattles

I've dedicated the rest of my life to learning everything I can about the subject of Success and sharing the wealth with others by "PAYING IT FORWARD." (SEE MOVIE CLIP).

To that end, I'm planning a membership site called the "CIRCLE OF GRATITUDE"

After more than 30 years, this important message continues to serve me well and is a "cornerstone" for everything that I think, do and believe.

If you would like more information about this project or would like to receive a free downloadable copy of "The Science Of Getting Rich," please see my earlier post or e-mail me at koch_jerry@yahoo.com

To Your Success...

YOU'RE NEVER TOO OLD…

"In Loving Memory Of Rose"

The first day of school our Professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.

I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.

She said, "Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I'm eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?" I laughed and enthusiastically responded, "Of course you may!" and she gave me a giant squeeze.

"Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?" I asked.

She jokingly replied, "I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of kids."

"No seriously," I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.

"I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!" she told me.

After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate Milkshake.

We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized listening to this "time machine" as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.

Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went.

She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up.

At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet I'll never forget what she taught us. She was introduced and stepped up to the podium. As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her three by five cards on the floor.

Frustrated and a little embarrassed she leaned into the microphone and simply said, "I'm sorry I'm so jittery. I gave up beer for Lent and this whiskey is killing me! I'll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell you what I know."

As we laughed she cleared her throat and began, "We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.

We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it! There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old.

If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty eight. Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change. Have no regrets.

The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets."

She concluded her speech by courageously singing "The Rose."

She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives.

At the year's end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago.

One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.

Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in tribute to the wonderful woman who taught by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be.

When you finish reading this, please send this peaceful word of advice to your friends and family, they'll really enjoy it!

These Words have been passed along in loving memory of ROSE

REMEMBER, GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY. GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL.

We make a Living by what we get. We make a Life by what we give.

God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage. If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

Pass this message to 7 people except you and me.

If you choose not, then you refuse to bless someone else.

"Good friends are like stars........You don't always see them, but you know they are always there!”

"Paying It Forward is a great way to stir passion in your own life while bringing joy and inspiration to others.”

Remember When We Were Kids?

This is dedicated to All Of The Kids Who
Survived The 1930's, 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's!

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked

and/or drank while they were pregnant.

They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from

a can and didn't get tested for diabetes.

Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our

tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-

based paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or

cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets,

not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.

As infants & children, we would ride in cars with no car

seats, booster seats, seat belts or air bags.

Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was

always a special treat.

We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from

a bottle.

We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one

bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.

We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank

Kool-aid made with sugar, but we weren't overweight

because….

WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!

We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as

long as we were back when the streetlights came on.

No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.

We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps

and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the

brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we

learned to solve the problem.

We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video

games at all, no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or

DVD's, no surround-sound or CD's, no cell phones, no personal

computers! No Internet or chat rooms.......

WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there
were no lawsuits from these accidents.

We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did
not live in us forever.

We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games

with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would
happen, we did not put out very many eyes.

We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the
door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them!

Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team.

Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment.

Imagine that!!

The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was
unheard of. They actually sided with the law!

These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers,
problem solvers and inventors ever!

The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and

new ideas.

We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we
learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL!

If YOU are one of them....CONGRATULATIONS!

You might want to share this with others who have

had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers

and the government regulated so much of our lives

for our own good.

While you are at it, forward it to your kids so they

will know how brave (and lucky) their parents were.

Kind of makes you want to run through the house with

scissors, doesn't it?

This blog is published by Jerry Koch as a public
service to raise awareness of our obligation to
help each other as we move through this journey
called LIFE.

I believe we can all help create a better world by
learning about and mastering the simple Art of
Generosity.

As we give of ourselves, we not only enrich the lives
of others, but we enrich our own lives in the process.
We allow ourselves an opportunity to "tap into" the
incomparable stream of Universal Abundance.

Also described as "The Law of Attraction," it has
gained a great deal of momentum recently from the
release of videos like "The Secret" and other original
works from which it was derived.

I'm inspired by these efforts and plan to add my own
thoughts and commentary as a way of extending this
invitation so that more people can experience the joy
and fulfillment of a rich and abundant lifestyle.

So come back and visit...and feel free to add your own
comments.

Paying It Forward is just one of many ways to express
gratitude for the gifts we have already received.

And, that's the point! The more we give thanks
and share our good fortune with others, the more
we allow to flow into our own lives.

That works for me! I hope it works for you as well.

Throughout this blog, you'll find a number of resources;
links to people, products and services which, in my
opinion, resonate with the above words. Part of an ex-
panding consciousness is an increasing stream of income.
These are the best sources I've found to date. Enjoy!

incredible opportunity in future posts.
Meanwhile, just know that this is pre-launch
and you have about six weeks to get "your
ducks" lined up....

The quote of the month is by Jay Leno:

"With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud
slides, flooding and severe thunderstorms tearing up the
country from one end to the other, and with the threat
of bird flu and terrorist attacks, are we sure this is a
good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?"

For those who prefer to think that God is not watching

over us...go ahead and delete this.

For the rest of us...pass this on.

The Greatest Gift of all….
is happening to me!

"There are two ways to live your life. One is as if nothing is a miracle. The other is as if everything is."

Albert Einstein

Passion:

I’ve been thinking a great deal about passion and the meaning it’s had in my life. So I wrote this little piece. It’s really a story about me and my “CHANCE” meeting of a stranger who “lit my fire” and changed the course of my life. And now I hope to share that gift with others by paying it forward.

You see, I'm on a personal mission......attempting to fulfill a part of my life that’s been missing for a very long time.....While the journey started (many years ago) with just “the seed of an idea” it burns deep inside of me every single day. That idea has turned into a large and ever-present question: What can I do "to make a difference" in the lives of others?

A Debt of Gratitude

In 1957, I was a small boy growing up and playing on the inner city streets of N.Y. I was exposed to "stuff" that most parents today would, given a similar scenario, probably not want to know about. I was becoming a “street wise” kid though I didn’t know it at the time. During that period, a friend of mine introduced me to a man who would be responsible for changing the course of my life.

His name was Herbert G. Dunlevy. Herb was everything my own Dad wanted to be but didn't know "how" to be. He exposed me to a life I would never have known. And, to a very large degree, I am who I am today because of “Uncle” Herb. I can never begin to repay the many "gifts" he brought into my life.

Uncle Herb, almost single handedly instilled in me, a belief that I could be whatever I chose to be. He aroused my curiosity. He encouraged me to try new things and helped me overcome my fears. He taught me to see obstacles, not as barriers, but as stepping stones to opportunity.

On one occasion he looked at me with his sheepish grin, and as he held up a glass of water, said: "Son, what do you see?" I said: "I see a half-empty glass of water!" As he gently put his hand on my shoulder, he said: "Jerry, as you go through life, you will notice that many of the people you meet ‘see’ exactly what you see right now.

But son, there’s something I want you to remember……you have a choice in the way you see things. Then, he said:

“This glass isn’t half-empty….It’s HALF-FULL!"

WOW!

What a breakthrough moment for a young street kid! I’ve never forgotten his words or the meaning behind them. It's like he said them yesterday!

A Raging Fire!

You see Uncle Herb was an imperfect human being...just as I am, an imperfect man today. He had many flaws, but in this small boy's eyes, he was a giant among men.

He gave me a gift that no amount of money could buy -- the gift of Unconditional Love. He fanned my flicker of self-doubt into a raging fire of perseverance and determination.

For my birthday, in May of 1957, he gave me a DOG. No not the kind with a wagging tail. This D-O-G was merely an acronym for something that would give incredible meaning and purpose to the rest of my life. Let me share with you just a small tidbit of what happened and how it impacted my life....

Doors Get Slammed In My Face…

I was a youth member of the local Y.M.C.A. Every year the “Y” had a finance campaign to raise money for activities not covered by their annual budget. The young boys were enlisted to go door-to-door and ask for donations. So every day after school I went out and knocked on doors. Some of those doors were slammed in my face. Some people simply said they couldn’t afford to make a donation. Of course, my optimistic reply was that even a few pennies would help. One contributor gave me a penny while another gave me two dollars. I remember that the largest single donation I got was five dollars. I was so excited. By the time that 3 week campaign was over, those pennies, nickels and dimes had turned into $101.15. That may not sound like much, but in those days you could get a shoeshine for a dime.

It was enough to win that gleaming first prize Schwinn bicycle. I was one excited young boy.

By the time I met Uncle Herb I was into my second year of fund raising. I nearly doubled the amount I raised and won first prize again. The problem was that it was another bicycle. So-o-o, enter "Uncle Herbie," as he was affectionately called in my home.

To this young bright eyed kid, he was just like a magician because he knew how to get things done quickly and, at the same time, turn the ordinary into something truly extraordinary. He was amazing!

He would negotiate first with the “Y” and later with the President of Underwood Corporation for a typewriter which was the prize I most wanted. Don't ask me why, but for me typewriters were a big thing at the time.

It was another exciting and eventful day.

When I opened the box, there was a note rolled and centered on the carriage of the typewriter. The typewritten message simply said:

May, 1957…

a Debt of Gratitude (D-O-G).

"A debt owed.....
to one small deserving
boy or girl....

in May, 1977."

In May of 1977, almost twenty years to the day, I adopted my daughter Heather, who was and is the greatest gift I have ever received. I had long since forgotten about that little piece of paper… and didn't really think about it until years later, when I realized “the magic” of something called the Law of Attraction and said to myself: "WOW! That's great -- my Debt of Gratitude has been repaid in full!"

My Biggest Regret!

I could not have been further from the mark! In 1989, when I separated from Heather's Mom, I lost my little girl. She felt she had to make a choice....that I had abandoned her.

At the time, I didn’t think that was true. In looking back, I realize that she was absolutely right. I have lived with the hurt that I created for her -- as well as the one buried deep in my own heart -- ever since. It is, by far, my biggest regret!

There is no way I can ever reclaim that part of my life. I can never touch those lost moments of sweet little girl innocence. I can't go back and give her the childhood she deserved. Nor can I replay the "talks" we never had or, share with her a few of the gifts inside of her Dad, the man she never really knew….or got to know.

She’s all grown up now…with a beautiful child of her own. And, while I remain outside of her life, I now realize the Debt of Gratitude is not something that can ever be repaid.

It’s a gift!

In fact, it’s the greatest gift of all! It’s a gift that can only be paid forward and shared with others. And so, as I continue to move, with greater determination than ever, I want to discover new ways of paying “that incredible gift” forward!

And then I want to do it again! Over and over…. repeating that process for the rest of my days.

I've made it my personal responsibility to take that life lesson and find ways that I can share it with others.

My greatest desire is to help others by building profitable models in the world of business and to use these models as an invitation for people to have a different experience. Why? Because most of us must work to earn a living and a good many of us hate what we are doing. I know I did.

Money, Money, Money...

I also know that some of the most misunderstood areas of life revolve around the subject of money and our often distorted views of what it truly represents. I believe the vast majority of us have it backwards. We are taught to "go for the money" instead of going for the things we love to do, things that inspire and motivate us to be the best we can be.

And I think it's because we've been led by parents, peers, teachers and others into believing we had to do things a certain way. Many of us were never taught to align ourselves with the Larger Laws of Life (try explaining that to a young kid). I know that much of this was a mystery to me...some "out-there" mumbo jumbo that I simply dismissed.

That's no longer as true these days. With the release of movies like "The Secret," and the popularity of the Internet, many changes are taking place. And, they are welcome changes!

Laws of Attraction and The Power of Giving...

As more people understand and apply the Universal Laws of Attraction, and the Power of GIVING, I believe we can look forward to a collective “shift” in the consciousness of the planet. And, it's my sincere hope that together we'll leave our children with a legacy they will be proud to call their own and one which they will continue to pay forward.

To continued success in attracting all we want to be, do and have in our lives.

"Should This Be
Your #1 Priority...?"

Free Traffic, Free Lists, Free Anything...???
Are You Getting What You Pay For?

"Judge each day not by the harvest you reap
but by the seeds you plant."

Sometimes "free" is just more trouble than it's worth!
And sometimes, you'll find a surprise from someone
who truly cares about giving "an extra measure of
value." In any case, free is still the most powerful
word in the English language. I'll have more to say
about that in future posts.

Maybe you've already read some of my e-mails or
Desktop Lightning messages (this happens to be
another one I like because I get consistently good
quality results). No pitch. Just go there and check
it out...

http://www.DesktopLightning.com/success1

Anyway, I hope you've read some of my stuff,
because my goal is to connect with as many new
friends as possible and to bring interesting and
useful information into your life and/or business.

And, from time to time, I'll share resources that,
in my own experience, have worked well for me.
Some are fairly new, like the product below...so
you'll have to test them out for yourself. But keep
your eyes peeled for my messages and "gorilla
secrets" because I will bring you "the gold"
when I find it!

Okay, let's get to it!

It takes two things to run a successful online
business. Traffic and a list. Both are essential.

Without traffic, you won't have anyone to buy
your product, click on your ads, or find your web
pages. And, without a list you won't be able to
build that all important customer relationship...
nor will you be able to sell them additional
products and/or services.

No traffic or list and you're out of business! I know.
It sounds harsh and it probably is, but it's the
truth. Every marketer needs a carefully crafted
strategy for creating a steady flow of increasing
traffic. That includes you and me...Seriously! I
wish I had followed this advice earlier on in the
game!

As a matter of fact, getting traffic to your sites
should be your number one priority.

There are dozens of ways to go about increasing
traffic to your sites. Some are good. Some are
great. And some aren't worth your time or effort.
Here's one that I do recommend. Why? Because
I've used it my-self and even though it's new, it's
already working quite well!

I especially like the "viral" features that enable
me to double or triple my results. I'm always on
the lookout for ways to improve my results at a
lower cost...and, with less work.

I personally prefer quality products that stand
out above the competition. I try 'em first and if I
get the results I'm looking for, I recommend them
to my readers. And, even though Vital Viral is
fairly new on the scene, it packs a pretty powerful
punch! It's simple to set up and easy to use. Best
of all, it's free! And this one's a "good" free!

I believe these tools should be a part of every
serious marketer's tool kit. Period! That's just
my opinion. So take it for what it's worth!

http://www.vitalviral.com/r/800success

Vital Viral offers some of the foundational
building blocks required to build a business.
And, it will give you an opportunity to take
control of your most valuable asset--
YOUR LIST!

As I said earlier, the list is essential to your
success. If you don't have one, start building
one now! If you already have a list, use viral
tools to multiply your efforts. This bears
repeating. I waited far too long to follow
this advice and I regret it.

CAUTION: While good reliable traffic and
list building tools can help you acquire a
massive mailing list, they are not a complete
one-stop solution. Nothing is--it simply
doesn't exist. I will be talking more about
"what works" in future posts.

Meanwhile, Vital Viral is a great place to start.
Their tools will compliment and enhance
whatever else you are doing -- and will drive
unlimited traffic to your business for FREE!

http://www.vitalviral.com/r/800success

To sum it all up, these tools are working for me.
They've helped me build my business and so far,
I like the results I'm getting. I think you'll find
that you can easily duplicate what I have done.
So good luck.

"The 800LB Gorilla Has
Returned To 'His Tribe'
And Is Happily
Back In The Jungle..."

"You can render to God and humanity no greater
service than to make the most of yourself."

Wallace Wattles

Breaking News!

During his brief visit, our 800lb "baby" gorilla
delivered many marketing tips, tricks, tools
and techniques.

I'm happy to report that he'll continue to
deliver "the goods" from afar....though not
on a regular basis. So, you'll have to keep
your eyes peeled for "Gorilla Marketing Tips."

And I gotta tell ya, they'll be more valuable
than ever.

Seriously. Because when you find the "tips,"
they'll be attached to an easy to enter contest
in which you'll have a chance to win an extremely
valuable and exclusive prize.

Believe me when I tell you that you won't
want to miss this opportunity.

Well, maybe there's one exception....?

If you are already a millionaire, this
"exclusive prize" may not appeal to you.

"800LB Gorilla Tires Of Being
Chased By Emergency Squads,
Throws In The Towel And
Decides To Return
To Life In The Jungle....
Where There Are 'No Secrets'...."

"The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater
is his success, his influence, his power for good.
Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels
of wisdom...."

James Allen

Here's Gorilla Marketing Secret #7

"AIDA"

ATTENTION, INTEREST, DESIRE, ACTION...

By now you've probably figured out that
there really are no secrets...

You see, the past seven emails didn't
contain "secrets" at all. What you learned
was "AIDA." A marketing formula that's
been around forever.

But, had you never heard about "AIDA,"
it truly would have been a secret.

For those of you who already knew about
"AIDA," we (including "Moe," our 800lb
Gorilla) sincerely want to "Thank You" for
joining us on this journey.

You are in for a big surprise.

If, somehow, you missed the P.S. (post script)
invitation in Gorilla Marketing Secrets #3, 4, 5 or
6 I'm going to include it one more time because
I truly feel that it's just too valuable to pass up.

Said another way, it's an opportunity I'd hate to
see you miss!

This is truly a "mastermind" system created by
Jason Oickle. He's truly a viral marketing expert
who is creating a fortune helping others succeed.

His "viral" system is not the typical junk you see
all over the net. It's designed to help you create
your own fortune by following a practical time-
tested plan. Go to:

http://www.TrafficSecretsUnleashed.com/?s=8215

I think you'll be pleased with what you'll find.
I'm happy to say that I'm using this system to create
some truly amazing results in my online world.

Read the material and see "how" Jason delivers exactly
what we talked about in our first six Gorilla Marketing
Secrets.

"Hey Honey, Grab The Camera!
There's An 800LB Gorilla On
The Loose. Maybe You
Better Call 911...."

OK...so maybe there's no emergency. Maybe it's
just one savvy primate trying to grab a little extra
attention. I hope you'll find some value in what he
has to say...

"In order to receive his own when it
is ready to come to him, a person must
be in action in a way that causes him to
more than fill his present place."

Wallace D. Wattles

Here's Gorilla Marketing Secret #6

TAKE ACTION!

Are you ready for some fun?
It's time for us to see some results.
Here's where we turn our prospects
into customers. Get them to make a
decision...to take ACTION!

Have we aroused sufficient desire?
Promised enough value? We're ready to
find out. But not before we "heat" things
up a little by adding even MORE VALUE.
More incentives. More reasons to buy.

How? By "pulling out the stops" and
doing everything we can to make our
package as irrestible as possible!

And, when it's all is said and done...we're
going to ask them for their business...
ask them TO TAKE ACTION!

This is the fun part...and the reason I
love this business. We get to "walk the
extra mile." By delivering more
than we promised, we build long term
value!

If we give more than 100% every time,
our customers will begin to understand
"who" we are. What we stand for. And that
is essential to our future success.

Once we've earned their trust we'll be in
position to gain their friendship and loyalty.
...AND THEIR CONTINUED BUSINESS!

That puts a wrap on the first six Gorilla
Marketing Secrets.

Here's to your success,

800LB Gorilla Stuns
Marketing World With
"Secrets Of Life In The Jungle"

Okay! By now you know our "BABY" Gorilla is
out to get your attention. To be sure, he's on
a marketing mission.

"Vision without action is a daydream.
Action without vision is a nightmare."

Japanese Proverb

Here's Gorilla Marketing Secret #5

AROUSE DESIRE

In The First Half Of Our Marketing Mission,
We Captured Their Attention. Then We
Created Interest In Our Story. We Got
Them Involved.

Ready to take it "up" a notch? And have a
little fun at the same time...?

Good, because here's where we get to play
a little...with psychology and human emotion.

We'll begin to recognize emotional "triggers"
that turn our prospects and potential customers
on? How to arouse CURIOSITY AND DESIRE.

As we understand more about what our prospect
wants, needs and desires we find ourselves better
equipped to provide useful answers and/or solutions.
If we can help them solve a problem or avoid pain and
discomfort we'll be on our way to earning their trust
and respect.

And yes, their business as well.

Isn't it true that we love doing business with people
we like, trust and respect?

Our goal for this part of the marketing mission is to
arouse desire. We do that by pointing out the benefits
of the product and/or service we are promoting.
With answers and solutions, we play to a variety of
emotions to keep our prospects excited.

As we build excitement, we arouse desire.
And that's the first important step toward building
a lasting long-term relationship.

The journey continues.

Look for Gorilla Marketing Secret #6 coming soon....

800lb Gorilla Continues
To Stun Marketing World With
"Secrets Of Life In The Jungle."

"There is no such thing as a lack of
faith, it's just that we have faith in
the wrong things. We have faith in what
can't be done rather than what can be
done. We have faith in lack rather than
abundance. But there is no lack of faith.
Faith is a law."

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Here's Gorilla Marketing Secret #4

CREATE INTEREST...

In our last Gorilla "secrets" we learned all about
headlines and why they are used to get attention.
Now, it's time to focus our attention on the second
part of the marketing equation.

How do we create interest?

We introduce ourselves and our product by telling
a story. And, in that story, we use elements of
surprise and/or mystery to slowly reveal something
we know our reader wants, needs or desires.

We show them how we can fill that special need or
why they should look to us to solve their unique
problem.

Like the writer of a best selling novel, our goal is to
provide just enough information to arouse the reader's
curiosity. To create interest.

Why? Because we want them to continue reading.
By tempting them with our tantalizing words we get
them to picture themselves in the middle of our story.

Once they participate they will actually "own" a piece
of the story. And, that's what we're looking for. Once
that happens, we've achieved our goal.

Here's A Quick Review...Of Gorilla Marketing Secrets.

Secret #1 was about how "attitude is everything."
Secret #2 "seize the moment."
Secret #3 "get their attention."
Secret #4 "create interest."

Okay, that completes the all important first half of our
marketing mission.

Give yourself a big pat on the back. You deserve it.

Once again, our 800lb Gorilla says "Thanks!" We're glad
you decided to join us!

And we're excited to share these marketing "secrets" with
you because we know what's in store for you in the days ahead.

Are you ready?

Ok, then keep your eyes peeled for Gorilla Marketing Secret #5

To your success,

800 lb Gorilla Stuns Marketing World With
"Secrets Of Life In The Jungle..."

No doubt about it, this ape is out to get some attention....
and not coincidentally, that just happens to be the subject of this blog post.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are
inadequate. Our deepest fear is that
we are powerful beyond measure. It is
our light, not our darkness that most
frightens us. Who are we NOT to be
brilliant, gorgeous, talented and
fabulous? You are a child of God. Your
playing small doesn't serve the world.
We were born to make manifest the glory
of God that is within us. It's not just
in some of us; it's in us all."

Marianne Williamson

Here is Gorilla Marketing Secret #3

GET THEIR ATTENTION!

While it may seem obvious, it's not always as easy to
"get their attention"as you might think.

I'm pretty sure most of us would agree that the majority
of people have their heads jamned with advertising
messages from early in the morning 'til late at night!
It's pretty hard to get away from them!

So....How Do You GET THEIR ATTENTION?

Well, sometimes you just have to break from tradition and
try something different...maybe even something a little
outrageous.

Like bringing an 800lb Gorilla on board...for example.

I think an 800lb Gorilla makes for an interesting and
unusual headline.

Just a mere baby in the jungle, in actual fact, he gets little
or no attention from anyone...other than Momma.

But here's the interesting thing...Take him out of that
"jungle context" (you know, put him in your living room...
for example), and suddenly you've got a powerful image
that's pretty damn hard to ignore. Don't you think?

So here's the question...
can an 800 LB GORILLA GET YOUR ATTENTION?

Maybe...?

It all depends on where you put him....and where you
happened to be when he arrived on the scene....right?

In his native habitat you might never see him. But
turn him loose on Fifth Avenue in New York and I'll
bet you an expensive lunch that he stops traffic and
manages to get some serious attention. Of course it's
not likely you'll find our gorilla on Fifth Avenue...or
in your living room...or?

I have not tried anything so extreme....YET!

Without going to extremes, the question still
remains...DID OUR 800LB "baby" GORILLA
MANAGE TO GET YOUR ATTENTON?

I hope so! And, if you've read this far, I suspect
it just may have worked!

You'll know if you arrived at this page as a result of a
"gorilla" classified ad, headline or signature. If that's true,
I'd say he's done his job. How about a "high five" for our
gorilla? After all, he did manage to get a little bit of
YOUR attention...

Maybe you got here by way of a headline that had nothing
to do with a gorilla. Instead, relevant and compelling "words"
were used to capture your attention. And our gorilla was
just along for the ride.

That's the most powerful part of any marketing campaign.
We use headlines to get your attention. No other reason. That's it!

And, our 800lb Gorilla just wants to say "Thank You" for stopping
long enough to learn this valuable lesson.

Join us for more valuable internet marketing tips in our next
blog post. We're just getting warmed up...
There's much, much more!

Look for Gorilla Marketing Secret #4 coming soon.

800 LB Gorilla Stuns Marketing World
With "Secrets of Life in the Jungle..."

"Discover 'How' An 800 LB Gorilla Taught Me 5
Marketing Secrets That Have Been Essential To
My Success And Why I'd Love To Share Those
Secrets With You..."

This savvy jungle primate shows you exactly how to achieve your
dreams while overcoming all obstacles. If you want increased wealth,
prosperity and abundance in your life, you simply must get your hands
on a copy of "Gorilla Marketing Secrets" now.

Look for "Gorilla Marketing Secrets" as
they are posted in this blog.

"A thought which does not result in an
action is nothing much. And an action
which does not proceed from a thought
is nothing at all"

George Bernanos

"Gorilla Marketing Secret #2

SEIZE THE MOMENT....

Yesterday we talked about the importance
of attitude and how our thoughts influence
every aspect of our lives.

Did you "seize the moment" and download
the free version of "The Science Of Getting Rich"
by Wallace D. Wattles?

http://y--e--s.com/?i=85001/EM5

Today's Gorilla Marketing Secret is a simple
reminder that all we ever have is the present moment...

What I did five minutes ago is a cancelled check...It's gone!

What I intend to do tomorrow is a promissory note. It may
never happen!

So, if I fail to take action in the present moment, I've created
my own "lost opportunity."

I'm responsible. It's up to me to take action in each and
every moment.

To seize that moment as if it were my last.

It doesn't have to be right...it doesn't have to be perfect...
it just has to be acted upon.

By creating each moment of my life, I create opportunity.

Gorilla "Marketing Secret" #1

"A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive outcomes.
It is a catalyst...a spark that creates extraordinary results."

Author Unknown

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING....

Let's face it. "How" we think and "what" we think influences
every aspect of our lives.

If we think "we can" we are right! And, if we think "we can't"
we are right...

Life is ready to deliver whatever we ask for. But first, we
must absolutelybelieve in the truth of that statement.

Look, it doesn't matter what "I think" about the law of gravity.
If I decide to jump off a cliff, I'm gonna hit the ground.

The law works regardless of what I think. It doesn't care
whether I believe it or not.

The bigger question is....How many times do I want to hit the
ground with a "thud" before I wake up?

What's it gonna be?

Would you rather have a life of success or a life of failure?
It's your choice. You can have whatever you want...

Wouldn't you prefer to live the life of your dreams?

That's what I thought! You can do it!

You can have more joy, more peace, more prosperity and
more abundance. All you have to do is "ask."

Sounds good, doesn't it? Well, it is good. You can have
everything that you want in your life by simply adjusting
your attitude.

And, it all begins by learning to appreciate
what you already have.

Would you like to learn more about "how" you can
have the life you want? And discover EXACTLY
how you can tap into the unlimited supply of
Prosperity and Abundance?

I started my own journey many years ago and it was,
by far, the most important and rewarding decision that
I have ever made.

I read an old book written by a "dead guy" and the words
he wrote changed the course of my life. More to the
point, it changed my attitude...FOREVER!

Well, Wallace is still dead. But Im here to tell you...
his legacy lives on. What he said nearly a hundred years
ago is still practical wisdom you can use right now.

And the best part is that you can access this information
for free.

Pay It Forward

Just Back From The T. Harv Eker
"Enlightened Warrior" Training!

"If you concentrate on finding whatever is
good in every situation, you will discover
that your life will suddenly be filled with
gratitude, a feeling that nurtures the soul."

Rabbi Kuschner

Well, it's been a long time between Blogs.
And, far too long a story to tell.....
at least in this moment!

Suffice it to say it's been a rich and rewarding
8 months. I'm sure I'll have much more to say
as I gain some distance and perspective.

One of the highlights of this time was an
"Enlightened Warrior" training sponsored by
Peak Potentials. This T. Harv Eker inspired
event is awesome.

What an incredible life changing experience!

Yes, T. Harv Eker is the best selling author of
"Secrets Of The Millionaire Mind." It's a great
read and a terrific way to spend a cold winter
day. Good book in front of a nice fire....YES!

There is so much to tell. From the beautiful
back country of British Columbia (my first visit
of many more to follow), to the gourmet meals
served in the wild....this was an experience that
I would recommend to anyone.

There were "inspired" young adults and a vivacious
young spirited gentleman in his late 80's. WOW!

For anyone who wants "more" out of life, the
Enlightened Warrior is a first class ticket.
The facilitators and staff are second to none....and
I mean that to sound like the highest possible
compliment. It is well deserved.

And, guess what?

I haven't even scratched the surface or begun
to talk about the best part of this experience.
Best of all were the dozens of new friends I made
during this journey. I met and thoroughly enjoyed
the company of some of the finest people I have
ever had the privilege to meet.

What could that possibly mean?

It means I met caring, loving people with
hearts of gold.

There were so many who demonstrated unbelievable
courage, a willingness to take action in the moment,
and the wit and wisdom to forge lasting and meaningful
relationships. Yes, Id have to say...that in the end, the
most valuable part of my experience in the wilderness
was the gift I brought back home....the gift of love and
friendship.

For that, I am blessed. And grateful. And so, that was
one of the highlights of the last eight months.

For you warriors who may have chanced to read this
blog, I want to say "Thank You" and Aho!

"If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day...

If you teach a man 'How' to fish, you feed him

for the rest of his life."

Let's give thanks for each day and recognize how blessed
we are to live in such a beautiful world. My wish is that we
all become wealthy (beyond the material) and, as we climb
to greater heights, that we acquire sufficient wisdom to
extend one hand behind us to help the next person up the
ladder of life.
