Ask The Coach Blog Is Live

Think Big at Sparkplugging.com
Well after weeks, or has it been months - ;) - of big changes over at Wendy Piersall’s emomsathome… er… Sparkplugging CEO, blog network, the Ask the Coach blog is live!

Now if you don’t know what Sparkplugging means, here’s the definition:

Giving life or energy to an endeavor.

Love that!

If you have not checked out the new and - I think - improved version of Wendy’s network, I highly recommend that you take a few minutes [hours!] to see all of the great stuff going on over there.

I’m thrilled to be part of the Sparkplugging community and especially excited to be a part of the Ask the Coach team with two other amazing business coaches, Marla Tabaka of LifeMap Business and Life Coaching and Starla Sireno of Fearlessness Inc.

The three of us will be answering your business (and life) coaching questions and hopefully Sparkplugging - giving some life and energy to - your endeavors. But more important we’ll hopefully be showing you how to generate that life and energy yourself!

The first answer I tackled was from a handyman having a hard time charging for all of his hours. Check out How do I bill for all of my hours, and while you’re there, leave a comment.

And if you’d like to get your question answered, use the Ask A Question form at the bottom of the official Sparkplugging Edward Mills About Page!

Is The World Ready For Mind-Control Marketing?

4 Comments

Mark Joyner thinks so!

Tomorrow night at 8:00pm he is re-releasing his bestselling book, Mind Control Marketing: How Everyday People are Using Forbidden Mind Control Psychology and Ruthless Military Tactics to Make Millions Online.

This book hit #1 on Amazon within 36-hours of its release. And since it’s been out-of-print, used copies have sold for as much as $500! I just checked Amazon and the cheapest copy available right now is $198. (That price will most likely drop pretty dramatically as people hear about this offer!)


Now Mark is releasing a downloadable version for just $27!

This version will also include the “missing chapter.” Apparently there was some important material that was left out of the original version.

Now, I can’t say that I’m thrilled with the title of the book. As someone interested in bringing positive changes to the world, I would like to think that the marketing tactics I use do not fall into the “ruthless” category! However, I also believe that those of us who are bringing positive change to the world can learn a lot from studying and embracing some of the techniques and tactics that mainstream marketers use!

And yes, I realize that is another HUGE topic that I’m not going to open right now.

But if you are a business owner and are interested in learning about these “secret” mind control psychology tactics and how to use them to reach more people - with your positive, world-changing products and services - I suggest that you head over to www.MindControlMarketing.com and get on the list.

Is Mark Joyner Really A Blogging Moron?

8 Comments

I highly doubt it. But don’t tell him that, because as long as he thinks he’s a blogging moron, he’s giving away a multi-media course on blogging for free!

If you’ve been through Simpleology 101 (another free course and incredible time/task management system) or any of his other courses, you know that Mark puts out high-value courses. And I’m sure that this blogging class will live up to Mark’s high standards.

“But haven’t you checked out this blogging course, Ed?”

Not yet. I haven’t seen the course yet, because in order to get it for free, there’s one little catch… you’ve got to blog about it. And that’s what I’m doing right now. To get free access to the course, you just have to cut and paste a little piece of html from the signup page. It will look like this on your blog:

 

I’m evaluating a multi-media course on blogging from the folks at Simpleology. For a while, they’re letting you snag it for free if you post about it on your blog.

It covers:

  • The best blogging techniques.
  • How to get traffic to your blog.
  • How to turn your blog into money.

I’ll let you know what I think once I’ve had a chance to check it out. Meanwhile, go grab yours while it’s still free.

And now that I’ve posted it here I’m definitely going to go check it out! And I really will let you know what I think. But in the meantime, if you’re a blogger and interested in what I’m sure is going to be a great blogging course, go snag it while it’s still free.

You can get it here.

And please, don’t tell Mark that he’s NOT a blogging moron!

Personal Growth Resource Roundup #6

5 Comments

With the holiday and our travels I’ve taken a couple of weeks off from the Personal Growth Resource Roundups. But this week it’s back, and better than ever.

I’ve got to begin with three non-blog resources that have the potential to dramatically accelerate your personal growth.

First, Zoe Routh, who some of you might know from the Law of Attraction for Inspired Living blog, has recently released a truly amazing product, The Law of Attraction Superhighway. It’s a package of interviews with 10 of the top Law of Attraction coaches in the world. Some of the incredible coaches interviewed include Drew Rozell, Eva Gregory and Anisa Aven.

I would have no problem recommending this product to you, but the fact that I’m one of the coaches that Zoe interviewed makes it a no-brainer.

Add in the bonuses worth over $1000 and you’ve got a winning package!

Make sure you get your copy of the Law of Attraction Superhighway before the end of the year. The price goes up by $50 in January!

Next up is the Personal Development Partners site. I’ve talked about this before. And as the holiday season moves into full-swing, it’s a great time to connect with other personal growth junkies… er, people.

The holidays can be a stressful time and there’s no better way to beat the stress than to find a partner for accountability, support and encouragement. And PDP is one of the best places to find that person.

And as we head into the new year, you’ll definitely want to partner up with someone to vision and act your way into your best year ever!

And Personal Development Partners is the place to be.

And finally, there’s Rich Schefren’s Attention Age Doctrine Part 2. Yes, this falls into the category of business growth, but because, as an entrepreneur, I don’t separate personal and business growth, I have found gotten powerful personal insights from this Doctrine that will improve my life far beyond the realm of business!

I’ve been a fan of Rich Schefren’s since I discovered his Internet Business Manifesto over a year ago. Now, here’s the thing: this Manifesto was not another ploy from some Internet Marketing guy. It was the real deal. Rich gave it all away in the Manifesto. The information truly blew me away and made me make some radical changes to the way I approach my business!

And with his Attention Age Doctrine, he’s gone even further! We hear the term “Information Overload” quite a bit. But I have not seen anyway provide a better look at how to beat it, both from a consumer perspective and from a business owner perspective.

The Doctrine and the Manifesto are both free so go get them now!

Now let’s move on to a few great personal growth blog posts that I’ve come across in the last week.

First up is a post from Kat Wilder. I can’t remember how I came upon her, but she’s well worth a visit. The post that got me thinking was The Dad Vs. Hubby Smackdown. We all wear multiple hats. I’m a father, husband, business owner, writer, friend, etc., etc. Is it possible to be good at all of them? Can I be a great dad and a great husband? It’s definitely an issue that is up for me right now. So thanks to Kat for putting words to it. If you’ve ever struggled with the balance between two or more of your roles, you’ll want to check it out.

Next, one of my new blogging friends, Agent Sully at Life Learning Today has a wonderful post on Dreaming Big. As we head into the new year, it’s the time to dream and vision and set our course for the coming year. This post should help you do that.

And then there’s Jeannette Maw who had me smiling at my desk when I read in her Thanksgiving Day post on Uncommon Gratitude that she was grateful for the fact that she has “never had a boyfriend’s parole officer stop by on a holiday.”

It’s good to bring lightness to gratitude, and Jeannette has most definitely succeeded!

Well, I think I’ll leave it at that for now. Look for another edition of the Personal Growth Resource Roundup next Saturday.

Podcast: Dr. Ivan Misner On Networking, The Secret, Richard Branson and More

1 Comment

Wow. This was a great interview!

This one-hour interview with Dr. Ivan Misner, the founder and CEO of BNI (Business Network International) the largest business networking organization in the world, is packed with powerful information for entrepreneurs and all Leading Edge Thinkers.

Here is just some of what Dr. Misner shares in this recording:

  • Why he chose the concept of Giver’s Gain as the core philosophy for BNI.
  • Insider information about Rhonda Byrne’s original vision for The Secret and why it makes sense that the movie may have glossed over some important issues about the Law of Attraction.
  • His thoughts on vision as a driving force in business success and how a clear vision for BNI was a contributing factor in growing BNI from 450 chapters to over 4900 chapters!
  • Valuable insights about delegation and practical, powerful advice on how to get clear about what to delegate and how to make it happen.
  • How a phone call from an unknown BNI member 4-years ago set in motion a series of events leading to his attendance at a private 5-day retreat with Sir Richard Branson on Necker Island (Branson’s private island).
  • How he decides whether or not to say “yes” to an opportunity.
  • His thoughts on how to integrate online marketing with face-to-face marketing.
  • Why BNI is primarily a local network and focused on thinking globally and acting locally.
  • Why networking is more about farming than about hunting.
  • Why entrepreneurs should strive for harmony and let go of looking for balance.
  • And much more!

For more about and from Dr. Misner, check out these related links:

Listen to Dr. Misner on the BNI Podcast.

Mark Joyner Interview - Law of Attraction in Action

8 Comments

Recently, I had the great pleasure of talking with Mark Joyner, the best-selling author of the books, The irresistible offer, The Great Formula, and Simpleology: The Simple Science of Getting What You Want. Mark is also the creator of the Simpleology suite of online courses and productivity tools, the 7-Day Business Turnaround and his brand new program, Word of Mouth Transformation.

Today’s post is part one of our wide-ranging conversation. Here is just some of what we explored in this first part of our conversation:

  • A very interesting concept called Utilitarian Model Flexibility.
  • An in-depth, no punches pulled look at Mark’s take on the Law of Attraction.
  • The importance of action in the Law of Attraction.
  • The interaction between inspiration, motivation, behavioral psychology and the power of feelings.
  • The role of values and morals in success.
  • The potential of technology to provide for everyone’s basic needs.
  • Self-interest as a tool for becoming a Freedom Agent.
  • And more!




The timing of this interview - being posted on the day Mark is launching his new Word of Mouth Transformation program - was unintentional, although probably not coincidental. In fact, Mark announced his new program several days after we spoke. But a few technical glitches caused a delay in posting this, and now, here it is coming out as he’s about to release this new program.

But, as you’ll hear, in this conversation there was very little conversation about marketing. This is a conversation you would have over dinner with friends. So if you’re a fan of Mark Joyner and want to get an inside look at how he thinks, and pick up some powerful success tips along the way, be sure to listen to this recording.

If you enjoy this conversation with Mark Joyner, here’s more to explore:

The Simpleology Resource Page here at Evolving Times.

Mark’s Blog filled with his “Atomic Mind Bombs.

The Simpleology Blog.

The Mark Joyner Constructs. Most definitely worth checking out!

Simpleology 101 (It’s free and it’s life-changing!)

And Mark Joyner’s best-selling books:

If you’re at all interested in transforming the way you use the single most powerful force in marketing, I suggest you go check it out as well.

[Podcast] The Attractive Power of Branding with Kim Castle

1 Comment

Clarity plays a large part in the successful application of the Law of Attraction. Knowing what you really want is the key to the kingdom but that clarity often feels like the needle in the haystack.

In this part 1 of my conversation with Brand Visioneer Kim Castle of BrandU, she explains why the clarity that comes from the business branding process is such a powerful attractive force. She also gives one of the clearest answers I’ve ever heard about why branding needs to come BEFORE marketing.

Kim also expands on the three most powerful things you can do to make customers choose you that she wrote about last week.

She clarifies the sometimes blurry distinction between personal and business branding.

We explore the importance of feelings in the branding process and how that relates to our use of feelings as an Internal Guidance System within the framework of the Law of Attraction.

And be sure to listen up when Kim mentions a conversation she had with her client, Michael Beckwith, about the importance of Choice. She just briefly touches on this very juicy topic. But it provides an opening to a potentially rich exploration.

Click the play button now and have a listen to this valuable 30-minute recording.



Part two of this conversation picks up where this one leaves off. Look for it here early next week.

And just a head’s up that there is a bit of audio distortion near the end of this recording.

For more information on Kim Castle, visit the BrandU website.

And here’s the link to Kim’s special gift for you (she mentions it in part two of this conversation) The 15 Mistakes That Kill Business Success.
