I recently read a blog post that had so much of my story, my journey and feelings that I had to respond. You see, I am a great advocate for others but at the same time my own worst critic. Self talk for me can be the kill joy of just about anything and everything – if I allow it!
If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Can I make money online?” or struggle to make extra money online, listen to what these 2 very smart and very profitable woman have to say. They both agree, without a doubt, that earning 5 figures a month is very possible.
It’s obvious from the last post date that I have been away from my blog for quite a while. I’m not going to make up any excuses for why I haven’t written or even give it any more of my time and energy.
Words can not express how Grateful and Appreciative I am for what Ross Goldberg did for me the other day.
In a nut shell, Ross stepped up and made Great on someone else’s lousy behavior.
Today on twitter I received an unsolicited tweet from a new follower that said, @quickreply BTW…Nice blog
Needless to say I was mortified!! 
I politely thanked @ShowerThinker but felt the need to justify the obvious neglect of my blog.
And then it dawned on me – although neglected, maybe it IS a nice blog. After all, this isn’t the first time someone complimented me on it.
Totally aware that I am my own worse critic, and working on being a better friend to myself, I decided to stop beating myself up for not keeping up with my blog and start doing what needs to be done – Stop complaining, Stop worrying, Stop over thinking, Stop Stop Stop and TAKE ACTION!
Easier said then done! What I do know all too well, is what needs to be done to succeed online. Unfortunately, I’m constantly fighting the forces of poor time management and procrastination followed by the self loathing for not being productive.
What’s so frustrating for me is that I know with out a shadow of a doubt that I’m here for a divine purpose to share my talents and gifts in a really BIG way.
And so in closing I remind myself:
“Knowing is not enough we must apply
Willing is not enough we must do”

Once you’ve established a decent business and reputation why would you not give a crap about your customer service?
Nothing frustrates me more then when I have to chase after customer support for answers. It seems that recently more and more of my business transactions have required making contact with customer service and my experiences have been really crappy to say the least. Is it common to receive such poor customer service or is it just that I’ve never had to seek out customer service before?
If you’re going to claim that you’ll answer inquiries and tickets within 24 – 72 hours I think waiting a week is more than enough time before sending a second email and/or support ticket. The really sad part – I’m still getting no response! And trust me these are not businesses that are new or unknown. These are business run and owned by reputable people that can be seen on social media platforms yet just have non-responsive customer support.
If anyone can shed light on such unprofessional neglectfulness, I would love to understand the thought process behind such thinking.
As I was sitting at my computer trying to get some work done I was easily distracted by Twitter. And from that distraction I found myself reading a new post on a new blog by Susan Preston.
I started to write a comment when it dawned on me that I could use what I was writing in the comments as material for my (neglected) blog and then use a trackback to Susan’s blog.
(I finally understand what a trackback is and how to use them. Another idea for a post, boy am I on a roll or what?)
So what was my inspiration for this post you ask?
For 10 days back in December of 2008 Ross Goldberg hosted a Virtual Masters Seminar that was like the Who’s Who of Internet Marketing. This Virtual Seminar had BIG name marketers overdelivering big time with great content. My brain was fried with all the information that was made available, not to mention the networking that went on. The event was rather impressive and if you want to read more about it you can visit the post here.
According to Joel Comm, on Ask.JoelComm.com, the answer to the all too popular question,”What’s the fastest way to make money online?” is . . . Go to a conference!
To hear the answer straight from the source himself go here and watch the clip.
I can tell you from experience (after taking Joel’s advice) that attending a Live event definitely has its advantages and I would highly recommend it to everyone. The quality of the content being delivered has always far exceeded my expectations.
However, for those who have never attended a live conference and would like a very similar experience, do yourself a favor and get yourself registered for the next Internet Marketing Masters Seminar. What you will learn, who you will meet and the endless possibilities of connections you can make will be well worth the small registration fee of less than $20.
Ross couldn’t have made it easier for EVERYONE to attend. With the comforts of your home as the designated location for this seminar there’s no reason not to attend. Conflicts with the scheduled time of the speakers, No problem – Ross took care of that as well. Every presentation will be recorded and available for replay until March 15th.
If you don’t think your business is worth a small investment of $20, you’re not saying much about your business.
Get more details and sign up for the next Internet Marketing Masters Seminar Now!
Six days into 2009 and I’m not proud of the fact that it’s taken me this long to make a New Years post to my blog. It’s obvious from my past entries that consistency with posting to this blog is not my strong suit.
I’m also still milking the holiday spirit and finding it a wee bit difficult getting back into the business routine.
Looking back at 2008, all I can say is that it was one of my toughest years in a long time. And while I had plenty of struggles and life lessons slap me upside my head, I finished the year with my head still above water. And for that I’m grateful!!
Now for 2009 . . . New Year, New game plan! I’m going straight to the source, to learn from the Best, the skills I need to take control of my life.
Since I haven’t officially started any training for 2009 yet, I’m going to hold off on naming names and the journey I’m about to embark on. However, do come back as I have every intention of sharing with you every step of this life changing process.
Ross Goldberg pulled off an incredible feat when he called in favors from his inner circle of friends and hosted the Virtual Masters Seminar. The Live virtual event took place during December 5 through December 14, 2008. Each day was jam packed with the Best of the Best in all different fields of expertise in internet marketing. To give you an idea of the caliber of speakers Ross was able to pull together for this event, here’s the list:
Ross Goldberg, Carrie Wilkerson, Coach Deb, Kevin Riley, Brad Semp, Lee & Robin Collins, Colin McDougall, Warren Whitlock, Yanik Silver, Erik Stafford & Alan Bechtold, Mari Smith, Joel Comm, David Preston, Mark Joyner, Kevin Nations, Stuart Tan, Simon Leung, Howie Schwartz, Michel & Sylvie Fortin, Matt Bacak, Andrew Sundstrom, Patric Chan, Ray Edwards, Bob Jenkins, Dan Nickerson, David Wilkinson, and Micheal Savoie.
So as you can see from the list, this was definitely worth the small investment of $10 for those who took immediate action and $20 for everyone else. Either way, Ross undercharged and overdelivered!
And it wasn’t just Ross who overdelivered. Every speaker I heard (still catching up on speakers I missed through the available replays) overdelivered with great content and actionable steps.
Yes they all had products to promote, but the special offers they put together for Ross to offer us were more than generous. As if their time, expertise, and tips weren’t enough. The only problem I had was deciding what and who I was to spend my limited funds on.
From what I hear, Ross plans on doing this again sometime in 2009. If he does, I would strongly suggest you make the investment and attend. Ross thought of everything when he put this event together, he had some of the most sought after speakers, a forum for attendees to network, chat sessions for attendees to network and ask questions, and replays to accommodate all schedules.
The Virtual Masters Seminar was an awesome event that was filled with out of this world speakers, offers, and new friends. I can not say enough good things about the Virtual Masters Seminar and Ross Goldberg.
Thank you Ross for an Experience of a Lifetime!
Always Grateful!
