Attraction in Action Audio - Guerrilla Marketing and the Law of Attraction

4 Comments

In this first recording for the Law of Attraction in Action Audio Series I talk with Mitch Meyerson, creator of the Guerrilla Marketing Toolkit and the Guerrilla Marketing Coach Certification program and co-author, with Jay Levinson of the Guerrilla Marketing Blog.

Mitch is a clear example of someone who is bringing great value to the world and creating an awesome life by putting the Law of Attraction into action.

During this 30-minute recording we explore how several of the Guerrilla Marketing Competencies are fully aligned with the Law of Attraction.

If you’re looking for some inspiring and practical tips to empower your marketing efforts with Guerrilla Marketing techniques and the Law of Attraction make sure you listen to this recording.

Here are the four Guerrilla Marketing Competencies that we focus on in this call:

  • I see every contact with my customers and prospects as marketing. My words, attitudes and actions are all intentional and based on my marketing goals.
  • My friends, prospects and customers would all say I am enthusiastic and consistently positive in all my interactions.
  • My business is oriented to giving. We often provide free consultations, tips, gifts and information. We make generosity a part of our overall marketing plan.
  • I consistently use my imagination to develop marketing strategies that are unconventional and will capture the attention of my target market.

Note that these are just four of sixteen Guerrilla Marketing Competencies. All of them are worth exploring from a marketing and Law of Attraction perspective. But these four, in particular, are aligned with the Law of Attraction.

Here is the recording. Note that all links in this entry will open in a new window so you can browse while listening.

Thank You Enlightened Entrepreneurs. You Rock!

3 Comments

EEI 2

Yesterday was the last meeting of my 6-month Enlightened Entrepreneurs Intensive program. What an amazing group! Getting to know each of these entrepreneurs over the past 6-months has been an incredible honor and pleasure.

And it has been thrilling to watch each of them grow and expand into a much larger vision for their life and their business!

Over the past 6-months these folks have truly embodied the meaning of Enlightened Entrepreneurship:

Enlightened Entrepreneurs consciously seek to create positive change in the world by enhancing their own lives and the lives of their customers and clients, employees, and communities through the clear, conscious and focused actions of their businesses.

Each of these business owners has taken huge strides in the integration of Law of Attraction principles with practical action-oriented steps and we have seen some truly amazing results!

Even though I was leading the group and supposed to be uplifting and enlivening them, every time we met, I left feeling uplifted and enlivened. (When you’re doing what you love, it seems to work both ways!)

Enlightened Entrepreneurs… Thank you for an incredible six-months. You Rock!

Ka-Ching!

The Cash Injection Begins

3 Comments

I’m on Day 3 of the 7-Day Business Turnaround program. Today I begin work on the Cash Injection for my business. The goal is to generate enough income in the next 4-days to cover two-months of operating expenses. This cash creates the “breathing room” needed to focus on the future growth of my business.

The biggest “aha” for me in today’s lesson has been recognizing that, in addition to my existing products and events, I have a huge amount of high-quality material that can be quickly turned into products.

Over the past 3-years I have recorded virtually all of my classes, teleclasses and group meetings. So I have, literally, hundreds of hours of recordings just sitting around waiting to be put to use!

Recordings from the early days, on microcassette, will need to be transcribed and turned into ebooks and articles. But for the past 2-years I’ve recorded my live events using a high-quality digital recorder. Those recordings could be edited and turned into downloadable and/or physical recordings. They can also be transcribed for article and ebook creation.

As a coach, I should not be surprised. But I’m still amazed at how a simple reframing through the catalyst of an outside perspective can point out what “should have” been obvious.

Now it’s back to the Day 3 lesson. And when I’m done with the lesson, there are some juicy sounding bonuses to explore!

The 7-Day Business Turnaround Begins Today

2 Comments

Begin Author’s Full Disclosure Notice:

I am an affiliate of Mark Joyners. Links to any of his programs in this, and other, posts on Evolving Times are affiliate links.

End Disclosure.

Last night, Mark Joyner’s 7-Day Business Turnaround Program went live. If you’re already a Simpleology member you probably noticed the new links to the Simpleology Intensives in the right column.

I’ve been waiting for this program ever since I heard that Mark had something new up his sleeve. Even before the launch I learned a valuable lesson about the importance of action. So you can bet that I was ready for this.

I signed up for the program last night within an hour of its launch so I’ll be getting the bonuses that Mark is giving to anyone who signs up within the first 48-hours. (I would have signed up without the bonuses, but don’t tell Mark that!)

Today, I have spent most of the day going through the Day 1 lessons, worksheets and videos. Day 1 is all about clarity: Getting clear about where your business is. No more “head in the sand” excuses when it comes to my business.

Here’s the bottom line: My expenses are too high and my income is too low.

Sound familiar?

Working with the program guidelines I immediately lopped $300 off of my monthly expenses (not bad for a couple hours work). And there are a few more items that I need to negotiate and/or dump.

The goal of the 7-Day Business Turnaround is to do a “cash injection” on your business so that, by the end of the day 7, your income is at least double your expenses.

That will be sweet!

Now that I’ve finished Day 1, I’m tempted to move on to Day 2. But I’m going to resist that temptation. Tomorrow is a new day and I’ll jump into the lessons refreshed and ready to go.

I’ll be posting more as I go. But, because I truly believe in this program, let me give you a quick pitch before I sign off:

Mark has gone a bit a crazy, I think. He’s letting people sign up and pay nothing for 7-days. That means you can go through the entire 7-day program and if you don’t like it (or even if you do, but don’t feel like paying him) you can just ask them to cancel your order and they won’t charge you a dime!

This is definitely a business model that is aligned with the Law of Attraction.

Will some people take advantage of it and go through the program, reap the benefits and then cancel their orders?

You bet.

But you know what? A lot more people, folks like you and me, will sign up for this program, go through the seven days, and gladly pay for the program at the end!

And we’ll be the ones that watch see our businesses turnaround and take off!

Oh, and one more thing: If you sign up by tomorrow, those bonuses I mentioned are incredible. Mark’s going to lead a weeklong coaching class, personally taking us through the program. And, he’s also created two other intensives based on his best-selling books, The Irresistible Offer and The Great Formula.

I am totally jazzed about the Irresistible Offer Intensive! And they’re both included if you sign up by tomorrow. After tomorrow they’ll be at least $97 each.

Yes, I know, I may not be completely unbiased. But, if your business is in need of a cash injection, if you’re in debt, or just getting by, or even if you’re business is profitable but not thriving, I truly believe that this program can turn it around for you.

Of course it’s all contingent upon your willingness to do the work. If you’re not willing to put in the time and effort to go through the lessons, worksheets and videos, don’t bother.

We’ll all see, but I believe that at the end of the 7-Day Business Turnaround program I’m going to look back and say, “I was where seven days ago?”

Look, you really have nothing to lose and everything to gain. If you don’t have the cash flow that you want in your business, go sign up now, check out the program and all the bonuses for the next 7-days and if you truly don’t believe that you have benefited from it, just tell them to cancel your order.

Affiliate Marketing May Require Disclosure

4 Comments

I just found a couple of posts on this interesting development in the world of affiliate marketing. One, at Copyblogger, the other at Problogger.

I have always been a fan of full disclosure. In fact, I actually stopped promoting an excellent product when I received an affiliate email encouraging me and providing me with step-by-step instructions on how to hide the fact that I was using an affiliate link.

I consider myself to be on the path of the enlightened entrepreneur and therefore integrity is one of my highest personal values and a value that absolutely must be present in my business.

Brian Clark at Copyblogger, points out that he wants to give his readers enough credit to think that they will know he is using affiliate links. I’m not convinced that all blog readers are savvy enough to catch that, especially when the affiliate codes are embedded in already long, complicated links.

So, even as I cringe at the need for outside regulation - as opposed to internal, self-regulation - I, applaud this possible update to the affiliate marketing world and see it as a positive development.

EzineArticles Does It Right

Leave a Comment

I love when I see well-executed examples of great customer service. Checking my mail on the way back from lunch I had a totally unexpected surprise. I had received a small package from EzineArticles, one of the best article directories on the web (my opinion!). In it was a coffee mug with “I “Heart” Ezine @rticles” on it. And inside the mug was a half sheet of paper with the following message:

Hi,

Thanks for being an EzineArticles.com Platinum-level author!

You’re receiving this small token of our appreciation for sending in yuor best original articles. One by one, we appreciate all of your articles and expect 2007 to be a great year together as we drive more traffic your way

To Our Continued Success Together!

Do you think this little surprise gift worked? You bet. It reminded me of my enhanced status as a “platinum level” author, and got me motivated to update my articles as well as the fact that I have not updated my articles in over four months!

As I’ve immersed myself in creating content for Evolving Times I have dropped a few other balls. Ezine Articles is not a ball that I want to drop.

My article Surrendering To Freedom: Stepping Into Grace was found on Ezine Articles by the Healing Garden Journal and published in their 125,000 subscriber magazine.

So my hat’s off to you, Christopher Knight and the Ezine Articles Team. You’ve done it right.

A Great Law of Attraction Story

Leave a Comment

I just got an email from a student who is in both the 12-week Law of Attraction course and my Internet Marketing for Deliberate Creators course. She wrote:

Hi Ed,

Well, I had set an intention that my newsletter list was going to hit 4,000 this month, and it’s so very appropriate that you are number 4,000!

Thanks for subscribing.

Jane

I love that!

I just got a “hit” this afternoon that it was time go see what she was up to over at healthychild.com. Go check it out. It’s a great site!

How to Connect Your Blog and Ezine

Leave a Comment

Suzanne Falter-Barnes has a timely (for me) entry on The Tender Relationship Between Ezines and Blogs. This has definitely been an issue for me. I’ve noticed that as I’ve focused more of my time and energy into this blog, my attention on my email list has slipped. And that’s not a good thing.

For the past few months I’ve been posting my ezine feature article here and I’ve been pretty good about encouraging my ezine readers to come on over here to leave comments about the article. But I have not been as proactive at encouraging my blog readers to sign up for the Evolving Times ezine (along with the other benefits).

Suzanne’s entry definitely gave me some food for thought. For instance, the home page of her blog has a pinned, above the fold subscription form for her ezine. Definitely not subtle, and I bet, quite effective!

You can bet that I’ll be looking to include a signup form for my ezine here as well as other ways to integrate effective cross-fertilization techniques into both the blog and ezine.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this. Do you run a blog and an ezine? If so, how do you integrate them? Do they work together or are they independent?

Top 100,000 blogs in Technorati

Leave a Comment

Hey, I finally broke into the top 100,000 blogs at technorati. As of this moment I’m ranked #98,402! I know, I know. Set Your Intention But Don’t Keep Score. I’m not going crazy. I’m just celebrating a bit. Don’t keep score, yes. But there is value in acknowledging and celebrating milestones along the way to your intention.

When I first discovered Technorati back in August, I was ranked about 600,000. It has been fun watching my rank slowly go up. (Watching without keeping score).

It’s all about balance.

Thanks to all of you who have linked to Evolving Times. You’re making it happen!

Watch for the Law of Attraction Carnival coming out later today.
