And it’s not because I have been a member since it started in March 2009.
Chris Farrell only started online in February 2008 and for six months he persisted to finally learn, understand and implement the skills it takes to make money online.
He almost quit twice and I’m sure glad that he stuck to it and completed his goals. Now he teaches thousands of people to create their own business online.
His membership site is packed full of valuable information, all in easy to follow step-by-step videos that are meticulously explained.
Talk about value! This is the place to be for all your internet requirements. There is only one membership site and that is…
Yes, Richard Starkey was born this day Jun 7, 1940. That makes him 70 years old!!
I wonder what his parents thought of him while he was growing up? Like any good parents they would have been proud of him and supported him in any way that they could.
Ringo Starr was the beat of the Beatles. Sure there was John, Paul, George, but Ringo was their support structure. I remember when I saw the Beatles in Toronto in 1965. I couldn’t even hear them at that time because of all the screaming. Anyway, that was a long time ago. But, I will never forget how Ringo kept the band on track even while they were surrounded by screaming fans.
Since that day in 1965, I have followed the Beatles and have grown to really admire their work. They took great pride in what they were doing as well as created endless musical songs and lyrics for all the world to enjoy.
I dropped into a friends house the other day and I happened to notice that his teenage son had Beatles posters all over his walls and an extensive musical collection.
What have you planned for your legacy?
Will you be leaving something of value behind for the world to enjoy?
I have thought long and hard about this and it will probably be the most enjoyable accomplishment in my lifetime.
Although it hasn’t happened yet. I am getting closer day by day.
But I do know someone that is leaving a legacy in the information marketing world right now!
His name is Chris Farrell and he has to be one of the most genuine people that you will ever meet.
Many things that you practice in life show through into your internet marketing.
If you get into the practice of helping others during the process of your day, you will ultimately feel good about it.
For instance, today I helped my wife clean the bathrooms in our house. I drove to Mickey D’s (MacDonalds) and picked up a Chicken Sandwich combo for my daughter Sarah. My son Nathan wanted his car washed, so I took it to our local station and used my Esso points to wash his car and also picked up a large slushy for my son Christopher. My neighbor wanted to borrow our hoe and trimmer for his garden…no problem.
You see, and by doing these small favors for your family and friends and to not expect anything in return, gives you a feeling of sharing and caring throughout your daily routine.
I even practice this formula while completing my full time work during the day and weekends.
This is also the feeling that I receive, when I provide helpful information to others regarding the “greatest viral marketing idea of all time“… The Ultimate Supertip!
This free ebook that requires no opt-in, is exactly the right product at the right time. It has some super ideas as well as presents a viral opportunity that is well ahead of its time.
Especially when you are just giving away something of value for free.
That’s the key to viral marketing.
Whenever I am interested in a particular niche or product, I look at its value and how I can incorporate it into my marketing mix. When I feel the product or ebook is of real value and that it has a viral opportunity, then I will consider using it.
But when the product is of real value, has an opportunity as well as no opt-in then my eyes open wider.
Then, when I download the ebook and realize that the content within the ebook exceeds my expectations as well as presents a viral opportunity, then I am presented with an offer that some may find difficult to refuse.
That’s how viral marketing really works and….
The Ultimate SuperTip is a perfect example of the power of viral marketing.
It simply presents you with an opportunity that is so easy. All you do is share the ebook with others who you feel would benefit from this opportunity.
Hey, Boomers! You really need to read and wrap your head around this concept to be successful online!!
Ok…here’s a totally radical thought.
Could you imagine movies at the theater…being FREE.
And I mean totally 100% free – no catch.
Believe it or not…this is being considered.
Some chains are considering making movies free – but charging a lot more for the concessions.
Just imagine how this could change business…
I have long talked about the Power of ‘FREE’.
Once a marketing gimmick — now ‘free’ is a full fledged economy of it’s own.
Lets look at a little known company called GOOGLE. Heard of them?
But have you noticed how virtually EVERYTHING they do – is FREE. Think about this for a moment. This clearly is no accident.
How can they do this and yet still be worth billions?
The simple truth is – they funnel us consumers in for free – and then introduce a selection of paid services (Adwords for example).
Giving away something for FREE at first -
is a key strategy you need to understand and implement.
But does giving away something for free mean it takes longer to make money online?
I’d have to say yes. It took me 6 months before I made anything.
But does this strategy work?
Undoubtedly 100% YES.
I realize I go on about this time and time again – but I still see a TON of people online try and SELL immediately.
Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong.
Delivering VALUE first – in the form of something that is free – is the way to grow your business as we enter the 2nd decade of the 21st century.
Free is the future — this is how to create and grow a business. And you will make your money by upselling related products/services — but you need to capture your target market’s attention first.
At the age of 40, King Gillette was a frustrated inventor, a bitter anticapitalist, and a salesman of cork-lined bottle caps.
It was 1895, and despite ideas, energy, and wealthy parents, he had little to show for his work.
He blamed the evils of market competition.
His boss at the bottle cap company, meanwhile, had just one piece of advice: Invent something people use and throw away.
One day, while he was shaving with a straight razor that was so worn it could no longer be sharpened, the idea came to him.
What if the blade could be made of a thin metal strip?
Rather than spending time maintaining the blades, men could simply discard them when they became dull.
A few years later, the disposable-blade safety razor was born.
Over the next two decades, he gave away millons of razors to soldiers in the war, hoping the habits soldiers developed at war would carry over to peacetime.
He gave razors in bulk to banks so they could give them away with new deposits (“shave and save” campaigns).
Razors were bundled with everything from Wrigley’s gum to packets of coffee, tea, spices, and marshmallows.
The freebies helped to sell those products, but the tactic helped Gillette even more.
By giving away the razors, which were useless by themselves, he was creating demand for disposable blades.
A few billion blades later, this business model is now the foundation of entire industries:
* Give away the cell phone but sell the monthly plan
* Make the videogame console cheap and sell expensive games
* Install fancy coffeemakers in offices at no charge so you can sell managers expensive coffee sachets
* Make printers extremely inexpensive yet charge $20 a pop for the ink cartridges
* Give away a free eBook so you can upsell the video version of the book
Thanks to Gillette, the idea that you can make money by giving something away for free – is no longer radical.
Are you beginning to see how your web business should work…
So…where do things go from here?
* Future scenario 1:
Low-cost digital distribution will make the summer blockbuster free. Theaters will make their money from concessions — and by selling the premium moviegoing experience at a high price.
* Future scenario 2:
Ads on the subway? That’s so 20th century. By sponsoring the whole line and making trips free, the local merchants association brings grateful commuters to neighborhood shops.
* Happening right now:
When Wal-Mart charges $7 for a new hit DVD, it’s a loss leader. The company is offering the DVD below cost to lure you into the store, where it hopes to sell you a washing machine at a profit.
* Happening right now:
Your cell phone company may not make money on your monthly minutes — it keeps that fee low because it knows that’s the first thing you look at when picking a carrier — but your monthly voicemail fee is pure profit for them. Clever huh!
* Happening right now:
In 2007 The New York Times went free; in 2010 so will much of The Wall Street Journal.
A psychological switch has been turned and things are flipping towards zero.
BUT A WORD OF WARNING!!!!!
From the consumer’s perspective, there is a huge difference between cheap and free.
Give a product away for free and it can go viral.
Charge a single cent for it – so it is seen as ‘cheap’ – and you’re in an entirely different business, one of clawing and scratching for every customer.
Don’t do it.
The huge psychological gap between “almost zero” and “zero” is why micropayments failed.
It’s why Google doesn’t show up on your credit card.
It’s why modern Web companies don’t charge their users anything.
And it’s why Yahoo gives away disk drive space.
Look at Craigs List. A Free Listings site that made $50 million last year from the few things it charges for.
The moral of this story?
The winning companies make their stuff free first.
Are you?

Hey, Boomers! I know you may feel overwhelmed but just take action and start with a well developed plan!
The internet is literally exploding! Expansion, contraction, recession, or boom just doesn’t matter… the internet is exploding… and continues to explode. But more importantly, the number of people, from all walks of life, making significant money on the web is exploding too.
I have heard some incredible stories. A couple stories hit so close to home that they were hard to ignore. And unless you’ve been under a rock for the last several years, you’ve probably also heard some tales of [nearly] unbelievable wealth creation- sometimes by the least likely individuals.
The media has inundated us with incredible exclamations, “It’s the next massive gold rush. More millionaires will be created from the internet boom than by any other event in history. We are about to experience the greatest shift in wealth in the history of the globe. The internet will literally change the way the entire world does business.”
Having been in sales and marketing for over 20 years, I often thought, “How can I take advantage of this? Why can’t I take my years of sales experience and skills to make big money on the web like all these stories I’ve been hearing? How do I climb on too and ride this wave of unprecedented wealth transfer?”
As I began investigating the vast amount of information about internet marketing and sales, I was literally overwhelmed. I knew I had no knowledge to just jump in and make it work? How could I ever learn all that was required to actually earn some money? How could I get it started if I had to spend months and months learning all this stuff that would probably change by the time I got to put it into action?
Should I join an established company or just hire a web designer and try something myself? There is so much to do and digest, am I just too far behind? How will I ever be able to learn all this search engine optimization, and blogs, and short-tail searches, and auto-responders, or video blasts, and landing pages, and opt-in lists, and facebook walls, and what the heck’s a tweet?
Is it possible that this electronic world passed me by so fast that there is simply no catching up? I thought maybe the kids today have been so entrenched in it that I may not even be able to compete. Granted, they never knew about pong, and I still don’t know how to use ping. Should I just accept the fact that I’m on the outside looking in? Is the internet marketing learning curve so steep that I simply can’t traverse it?
It seemed that the more questions I asked, and the deeper I researched, the more uncertainty I had. I became so discouraged and lost. I thought, maybe there is just too much to understand and I simply missed the boat. Maybe those lofty dreams of a fun, abundant, stress-free life that fly around in my head when I read about all the other successes, are just that- lofty dreams.
I thought maybe I had better face the reality that I never will get to see the Eiffel Tower with my own eyes, or walk up the Spanish Steps in Rome, or climb the pyramids in Egypt, or take a helicopter down the Grand Canyon. I started to feel sorry for myself – like maybe it could happen for other people but maybe it just wasn’t ever going to happen for me… sound familiar?
But as I spent nine months scouring the web, surfing countless sites, reading business plans, shooting emails back and forth, sifting through all the fluff, and watching hundreds of presentation videos, my mind kept going back to that life-changing line in the movie “The Edge” when Anthony Hopkins insists Alec Baldwin repeat over and over, “What one man can do, another can do… What one man can do, another can do… What one man can do, another can do!”
And I held on to that hope that something – somehow – someway, would eventually surface and provide the door. And then one day, it happened. I found it. I found the answer. A program actually exists, a systematic platform that allows for true beginners to bypass so much of the tough, time-consuming learning, and get right into the meat of internet marketing. A program that gives you the roadmap and the logistics so you can participate in the most important aspect- making money. It’s honest, and forthright, and it’s built on a foundation of integrity.
Do the research like I did. I looked. I listened. I basically did the due diligence necessary-intelligently, in detail, and responsibly. I got on a plane and flew cross the country and looked and listened some more. And after all the investigation…I was extremely impressed, I became a believer… It is so refreshing to see that there really are still good, top-notch, sharp, solid people out there who operate with integrity. People of trust.
I’m not sure how to convey a depth of conviction within a written article, except to tell you with sincerity… It’s true, it’s authentic, and most importantly, it’s do-able for anybody who is willing to buckle down and change their life. The results are real. They truly are. Like one of those miracle days in your life, I found it… the answer… the absolutely perfect answer. It’s real and it’s true and it’s available to you. Make the commitment to your inner self to move forward, to grow, to grab all that this life offers, and expand like you’ve only dreamed. Why not you? Why not now?

Hey, Boomers! Keep that positive snowball-effect rolling and make a difference in the lives of others around you!! It doesn’t take much but makes a huge impact…try it, you’ll like it!!
The greatest gift you can give everyone you meet is your own joy. That may sound cheesy and trite but it’s not. When you are joyous (especially when others are sad) you are a beacon of hope.
Imagine if you left every person you met a little bit brighter. When you uplift others you are giving them a special gift that is going to cause a wonderful ripple effect.
Their mood is improved because of you and now they are going to naturally brighten the moods of others.
Hope is under-estimated. If you can give someone hope that is often all they need. Just one person to believe in them is huge. Even if those you meet are not your close friends you have no idea the impact you can make on strangers.
Perhaps they have no one in their life. And just your smile, or just your kind words or just an honest conversation is all they need to pull them out of whatever trouble they are in.
You really don’t know whose lives you impact simply being as happy as you can be. Especially in the face of “disasters” and “economic crises” these are the times when more gloom is definitely not needed.
It is the rare person who does not turn their attention to doom and gloom. Perhaps because it is easier to join in the moaning and complaining? Although it may be hard not to not participate in talks of “hard times” and other horrors it is in your own best interests not to.
Focus on all the good surrounding you. There really is more good than bad. And the best thing is the more wonderful things you focus on, the more wonderful things will happen to you.
It is a positive snow-ball effect where you and everyone you grace with your presence wins!

Hey, Boomers! Stop procrastinating! Get into a daily workout routine and change your life!!
Can you achieve total fat loss and fitness for the rest of your life? Looking great on the outside is certainly important, but achieving and maintaining a low body fat level is also a benefit to your cardiovascular health. This will ensure that you’re around long enough to enjoy that body!
Most people who are interested in looking great also want to get healthy on the inside too. They want to be able to handle simple daily physical tasks with ease that many take for granted. Things like climbing a flight of stairs at home or at work, or playing with the kids, or engaging in recreational sports with friends. They want total fitness, and I’ve got good news for them.
Discover the real truth about weight training and burning fat today!
When you achieve total health and fitness, it really will impact your life in every form and fashion. By achieving the type of body you are proud of, you are also building your mental strength and fortitude. You will notice it impacting other areas of your life. You will start to feel more energized and your mindset and concentration will improve. You skill levels will increase and you will gain more and more confidence in yourself. Others around you will notice this and be more attracted to you not only by your physical appearance but by the confidence and energy that you convey to others. You’ll enjoy a higher self-esteem and self-image, which leads to a more confident and successful individual. These are real facts with actual time tested results that will surprise you.
Other factors also come into play. You’ll become a stronger willed person, mentally and physically, as you’ll be battle tested by your workouts. You’ll be happier. You’ll forge long lasting relationships with others that share your ideals of a healthy body and mind. And lastly, you’ll enjoy all of these mental and physical benefits for the rest of your long healthy life. Again, all in just minutes per day. Doesn’t sound too bad, does it?
I was apprehensive at first, because I like to do my research and due diligence. I read as much information that I possibly can in order to make an informed decision. It’s only natural and we all do the same thing. But, when it came to the realization that I absolutely, positively needed to lose fat and change my mindset, the Fat Burning Furnace was the best and only option for me. I truly believe that it will do the same for you and give you your life back. There are also other factors you need to consider in order to make an informed decision.
You can have all of the desire in the world to achieve something, but if you don’t have the knowledge on how to achieve it, you’ll fail in your goal. Or if you did somehow succeed by luck, it will have taken a lot longer to get there. Let’s say that you spend time seeking out the knowledge that will take you where you want to go. You’re most likely to get some bad advice along the way, delaying your quest. You’ll probably have to make a few mistakes before you get it right. There are most likely several ways to get to that goal. But what if someone came to you and told you exactly what you have to do to reach your goals in the fastest most efficient way? Now your getting it! The Fat Burning Furnace will give you the exact knowledge in order put you on the fast track in achieving your goals and results that you desperately want to achieve.

Studies have suggested that Baby Boomers have not followed in their parents footsteps and planned for their retirement as one would expect. Baby Boomers will continue to keep themselves extremely busy on and into their retirement years.
Wish you were independently rich? Well shall I reveal some deep millionaire secrets that will help you create and fashion the future of your dreams? Yes, it’s entirely possible for you to learn to become a millionaire by using the same wealth creation methods used by the world’s richest elite.
Little known millionaire secrets, knowledge and simple techniques they jealously guard because they’re so powerful they can thrust your wealth quotient into the stratosphere, enabling you to join their ranks and believe me, they don’t want the competition. GOALS
If you research how to develop a millionaire mindset, you’ll find that setting long- and short-range goals always comes high up the list of recommendations.
If you write down and read your goals every day, you will soon notice ‘an upturn in your vision of the future’. This vision will draw you towards it and things will start to happen. If you take advantage of those ‘things’ as they show up, you’ll gradually but inevitably move towards your chosen goals.
This is one of the most basic wealth secrets of the millionaire mind.
BACK TO BROKE
But how is it we can achieve great success, even become a millionaire, yet somehow end up dead broke again?
Something mysterious can happen and all we’ve built up can slip through our fingers. We may find ourselves sliding down a great, long snake to end up back at square one.
Why do such self-defeating behaviors occur?
Well, if you don’t do what I’m about to share with you, you are likely to come up to a sticking point and go no further. ‘Something’ will start to feel funny. Strange.
RING ANY BELLS?
Maybe this rings a few bells?
These strange feelings can cause you to say “I’m okay as I am. What’s the point in going further? It’s only money…” and express similar negative ideas.
If, after this, you persist in moving forward, you’ll start saying things like “I don’t need all this money. In fact, I’m feeling flush. I think I’ll treat myself…”
Let’s say your business activities start to produce some impressive results. At this point, you may find yourself starting to blow money like it’s going out of fashion. You may make ‘accidental’ mistakes that cost you. You become over-generous. Less wary of speed cameras. Pay less attention to your overdraft. Neglect your customers…
In short, you start to find ways to offload this ‘extra money’ on fruitless activities and ‘accidents’ rather than investing it wisely for the future.
HOW CAN THIS BE POSSIBLE?
Why would you do this? Well…
…it’s NOT because you don’t believe that you’re worth it.
…it’s NOT because you lied when you were seventeen.
…it’s NOT because your mother or father withheld their approval.
…it is NOT because you are predisposed to a life of struggle.
…it IS because of your memories!
For example, think of that friend of yours who you keep making excuses not to go and see any more. The real reason you don’t see them is because of your last memory of what happened with them.
INFLUENCE OF MEMORIES
It’s the very last memory of that person that makes you think up excuses not to go. If your last memory of them was pleasant, then you’d be finding excuses TO go.
See? And you can’t just sit down, close your eyes and imagine it being pleasurable seeing them because your mind knows the difference between real memories and mind-created visualisations. (Visualisations inspire but memories control you.)
RUBBISH!
So your mind says “RUBBISH! He was out of order. He should apologise. I won’t!”
If you were to go and see him, though, you’d probably find him sorry and you’d sort it out and become firm friends again.
But your mind prevents you because of that last bad memory. A negative experience. To become a millionaire and to remain a millionaire, it is necessary to deepen your understanding of how these negative unconscious forces can block your path to ongoing wealth creation. COMPELLED TO OVERCOME
Another secret of the millionaire mind is that in order to create and retain wealth, we are compelled to overcome all unconscious influences that trigger negative behaviors affecting our business.
These negative actions that hold us back symbolize outmoded survival mechanisms. If someone threatens you, your last memory of them is bad and you will avoid them. Unconsciously, you feel that person has less chance of doing you harm.
This nature-programmed mechanism may have been appropriate back when we were killing each other in violent cave raids for food. Happily, things are different now. But the organisation of the mind hasn’t caught up yet and this stuff still acts on us in the same way it did in our long gone caveman days.
So, even today, we all still have many ancient unconscious drives that affect our lives negatively. TWO MILLION YEARS
For two millions years, women have chosen their mate for their ability to remember who their enemies are. If a woman chose a man who was ‘forgiving’ regardless of what had been done to him and his family, then her offspring would be much less likely to survive.
So the genes of the men who were best at this were passed down to us all though our common gene pool. This means that we still have many nature-programmed behaviors that are no longer appropriate today and no, we can’t switch them off. They carry on working – automatically!
However, you CAN make this work FOR you.
HOW IT WORKS
Before I tell you how – you need to understand why the mechanism works…
If someone makes you feel good then your memories of them are also good and you’ll make any old flimsy excuse to see that person. But if that same person makes you feel bad then you leave with a bad feeling and… you PONDER for hours and hours over what happened.
You may spend hours agonising over that ONE time they made you feel bad and barely a moment thinking about the many good times you had before. This makes bad memories huge in your awareness. They become the main thing you think about when you consider your past encounters.
WHAT WENT WRONG?
Our minds react in this way to work out what went wrong… which is of benefit… but causes you to make excuses not to see them any more. This prevents you having any good experiences (and memories) with that person.
The point is… you spent a lot of time thinking about the bad things that stopped you seeing them and hardly any time thinking about the good things that once caused you to create reasons TO go.
This means you have a strong mechanism. (Women call it stubbornness but it is an essential survival strategy for men. Interestingly, women say they hate stubborn men but in reality, they often choose stubborn men to have children with because unconscious forces drive them to ‘know’ that their offspring have a far greater chance of survival.)
SAME WITH FINANCIAL GOALS
All this works in exactly the same way with our financial goals.
Even though you may not have achieved millionaire status yet, you still have memories of being broke and memories of having lots of money too (or at least feeling rather flush).
You will have good and bad memories of each. For example, if you were broke once, you’ll have felt awful about talking to the bank and putting off your bills, etc. Perhaps you’ll also remember times when your friends were all extra nice to you. But one memory will dominate the other. The one you spent the most time thinking about.
If you were loaded (or flush) at some point in your life then you will have been on cloud nine, buying expensive clothes and stuff – but your friends may have been a bit hostile. Jealous.
I’m not saying that if your friends were hostile when you had money that you will never get rich, I’m saying have those memories. Good AND bad. THOUGHTS CAN KEEP YOU STUCK!!!
And financially, those thoughts can keep you stuck at wherever you are now. Remember, it’s not you. It’s not your spouse. It’s not your upbringing. It’s not even the economy… no, as you are beginning to understand with your new millionaire mindset, it’s the memories of having (or not having) money you think about the most.
So if you’ve spent a lot of time thinking about how your friends were really nice to you when you were broke and how jealous they were when you were flush, then you’ll hover just above ‘enough’.
If you spent a lot of time mulling over the embarrassment of being broke and also thinking about how good it felt to be flush, then you’ll automatically do the things that cause your finances to rise.
CONTROL
To create wealth and become a millionaire, it is essential to understand the necessity to gain control over our feelings so that they influence our behavior positively and not negatively.

Left Handed Facts tend to be comical or negative in nature. These seven positive facts will not only make you smile, but should make you proud of being left handed.
1. When at school or any activity that you’re asked if you’re lefty don’t be embarrassed, but feel privileged because you will usually get one-on-one attention (that’s a good thing).
2. Time Magazine’s Person of the Century Albert Einstein was a left hander. His contributions to science and technology were without question, important advances for mankind. Throw his name out if someone’s making fun of us lefties.
3. If you’re a southpaw baseball player then when you bat and complete your swing you are already facing first base and thus have a head start over right handers. A left handed pitcher can keep an eye on first base during his wind-up and keep a runner from stealing second. A first basemen who is a lefty can cover a large amount of the field with their glove on the right hand and they also have an advantage when throwing to second base for a double play.
4. Some of the wealthiest people are left handed (i.e. Bill Gates and Oprah Winfrey continue to rank at the top of the richest people in the world and yes they are southpaws). A recent study revealed that lefties with college education earned 10 to 15 percent more than their right handed counterparts
5. New research suggests that left handed people often perform better than right handers at fast or difficult tasks that involve lots of information or stimuli. Lefties may be better at playing fast computer games, talking while driving in heavy traffic and flying a jet fighter – activities that need both hemispheres of the brain to process information quickly.
6. Southpaw drivers are apparently more successful at learning to drive than right handed people. As many as 57% of left handers pass their driving test first time compared with only 47% of right handers, a poll for the AA Driving School found.
7. Lefties have a tactical advantage in one-on-one competition. Studies suggests that because lefties are in the minority, right-handed opponents are not use to the way they fight, and the element of surprise gives lefties an advantage.
So there you have it, Seven Positive reasons for being Left Handed.
Left Handed Facts that should make you feel better about being part of the ten percent of the population that are in their right minds.
