			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just signed up for a new teleclass with Dave Lakhani called &#8220;Advance or Die!&#8221;  I was a fan of Dave&#8217;s books before I had the chance to meet and hang out with him at a small marketing event in Jan 2009.  He is tremendously genuine, and at the same time a masterful salesman &#8211; I feel his salesmanship is so Jedi-Neo-out of this world it&#8217;s almost an insult to refer to his level of skill as sales.  Understand that he is a true master of NLP so he could use his power for evil and does not.  I was amazed and grateful for Dave&#8217;s unique ability to &#8220;meet people where they&#8217;re at&#8221; meaning the way he spoke to each individual at the conference was the way we each wanted to be spoken to &#8211; he could be tough if the person needed a drill sergeant and  compassionate if the person needed to be heard (that was me BTW)</p>
<p>The offer he is making is truly irresistible, the teleseminar alone is well worth $30 but the addition of a Free ticket to his live event is so unbelievable I had to re-read his email carefully to make sure I was reading correctly.  I am certain the teleseminar alone is worth more than that.  And I can personally vouch that he is a man of his word and will honor his guarantee, if the class is not for you he will refund you.</p>
<p>Who wants to join me? <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Feel free to check out his main site, blog and Amazon Author&#8217;s page:<br />
<a href="http://www.boldapproach.com/">http://www.boldapproach.com/</a><br />
<a href="http://boldapproach.typepad.com/">http://boldapproach.typepad.com/</a><br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Dave-Lakhani/e/B001IGOMTK/">http://www.amazon.com/Dave-Lakhani/e/B001IGOMTK/</a></p>
<p>Do hurry thou, as the special offer only runs thru Jan 2nd, in fact if you don&#8217;t have time to look into it, seriously <em>just go sign up anyway</em>!  Please note this is not an affiliate deal for me, I just really know this is right for me and trust Dave will deliver for you too.</p>
<p>Here is Dave&#8217;s original email<br />
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<br />
Advance or Die!</p>
<p>I know that is hard for many people to hear. And because of that it is<br />
important that you read this whole email, total reading time is under<br />
three minutes.</p>
<p>When I write something like that people say &#8220;you are being mean!&#8221; In<br />
reality though, I&#8217;m not, I&#8217;m saying the most compassionate thing I can<br />
to you.</p>
<p>Advance or Die is a business and life philosophy that I began sharing<br />
with my private coaching and consulting clients. To succeed and grow<br />
in an economy like ours you have to choose every day, will this advance<br />
or will it die. There are many things in our business that need to advance<br />
in order to succeed and there are equally as many that need to die (old<br />
beliefs, ways of doing things, people-metaphorically) that need to die<br />
in order for us to move forward. And sometimes as hard as it is to hear<br />
the business needs to die in order to be reborn in a new profitable form.<br />
By making a choice to Advance or Die you are making a conscious decision<br />
to take action on your business or yourself in a way that moves you forward.</p>
<p>It isn&#8217;t the economy that is killing us right now, it is stagnation and<br />
inactivity, it is a general malaise that has crept over business owners<br />
and thus buyers. It is hesitation to the point of damnation (of our economy,<br />
our business, ourselves) that keeps us from turning the corner here.<br />
But it doesn&#8217;t have to be that way.</p>
<p>If your business isn&#8217;t where it should be today, if you aren&#8217;t making<br />
the profits you should be, if you aren&#8217;t getting enough sales, if your<br />
marketing efforts aren&#8217;t working they way they did, you have a decision<br />
to make. You have to ask this one simple question:</p>
<p>&#8220;What MUST I do differently than I have in the past two years to get<br />
the results I need finally?&#8221;</p>
<p>What I&#8217;m going to say next is going to make you mad.</p>
<p>If you knew the real answer you&#8217;d have already done it!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been wracking my brain trying to figure out the best way to get<br />
you the real answers to that question. Should I send a bunch of emails?<br />
Well honestly, I know most of you don&#8217;t read them. Should I do a<br />
bunch of blog posts? By the time you find them you&#8217;ll be well into<br />
your year when you should be started on strategies that work. So I<br />
decided to do a four part teleseminar and I want to invite you to<br />
be on the call with me.</p>
<p>As you know, I&#8217;ve written a bunch of books including How To Sell<br />
When Nobody&#8217;s Buying and Persuasion: The Art of Getting What You<br />
Want. I work with companies all over the world helping them get<br />
massive results. I just got back from Amsterdam where I spent most of<br />
the month of November working with a company that grew over 65% in<br />
what is arguably the worst economy any of us have seen. They learned<br />
and applied the answers to that question above.</p>
<p>If you really are ready to Advance this year or if it is time to throw<br />
in the towel, I want you on a very special 2011 Advance or Die<br />
Business Acceleration call I&#8217;m going to do over four sessions in<br />
January.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to walk you through the exact process I take clients who<br />
pay me thousands of dollars per month to create sales and marketing<br />
turnarounds in their companies. I&#8217;m going to show you step by step,<br />
turn by turn exactly what to do in your business. I&#8217;m going to answer<br />
your questions live and I&#8217;m going to record every word so you can<br />
go back and listen again and again.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to cover:<br />
1. The Top 10 Things You MUST Do To Insure Business Success And<br />
Growth This Year<br />
2. The Top 5 Small Business Trends You Must Adopt This Year If You<br />
Hope To Succeed Long Term<br />
3. The Truth About Marketing And What Works Today<br />
4. How The Consumer Buying Process Has Changed And What You Have To<br />
Know To Get People To Buy<br />
5. How Sales Have Changed And Exactly What Sales Techniques You And<br />
Your Team Must Know If You Hope To Win More business<br />
6. The Truth About Goal Setting, Time Management And Focus Based On<br />
The Latest Brain Research<br />
7. The Latest Persuasion Breakthroughs That You Must Know About<br />
8. 7.5 Business Acceleration Strategies You Must Implement Before<br />
February 15th To Set The Course For Your Year</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not going to hard sell you on this, that kind of selling is dead and<br />
gone. You can either make a simple decision or be the victim of inaction.</p>
<p>Is there a fee? Yep, $29.97, less than a dollar a day for the month of<br />
January to totallyvtransform your business, less than the full retail<br />
cost of one of my books to get my direct help with your business. I want<br />
this to be an absolute &#8220;No Brainer&#8221; and I think that price does it. You<br />
can <a href="http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=DE7dd&amp;m=1fr_4INiXEVjt1&amp;b=dt2lRFJBIW5woIL2pd_rag">sign up here</a><br />
This price is only available until midnight January 2, 2011, on January<br />
3, 2011, the price goes up to $297.00. Of course if you don&#8217;t like the<br />
class for any reason, just let me know after our first call and I&#8217;ll<br />
refund every penny you paid. I&#8217;m confident I&#8217;ll so over deliver that<br />
you&#8217;ll think I should have charged more! There is no web page to go to<br />
no videos, testimonials and this isn&#8217;t being offered to anyone but<br />
loyal readers like you. Clicking the link advances you to the order page.<br />
Fill it out and move forward with me.</p>
<p>In addition, because I know how important it is for you to be physically<br />
ready for the year, I&#8217;m inviting two additional experts to be on the<br />
call, the first is Matt Hoover, Ironman and winner of Season 2 of<br />
The Biggest Loser. He&#8217;ll be discussing getting your weight and<br />
fitness plan together. It is time for you to finally Advance before<br />
you Die, Matt can help. And, I&#8217;m bringing on Dave Woynarowski, MD and<br />
author of The Immortality Edge who will talk about simple breakthroughs<br />
in life extension that will help you live your best life this year and<br />
will share simple life extension strategies that you can employ right<br />
now.</p>
<p>This isn&#8217;t going to be a call trying to sell you a bunch more, frankly<br />
I don&#8217;t care if you buy anything else from me this year, this is the<br />
most important thing I have to offer for business owners.</p>
<p>Oh, and one more thing, I&#8217;m doing a live 3 day sales, marketing and<br />
persuasion event in February here in Boise. I&#8217;m going to give free<br />
scholarships to come to the event which sells for $2500 to people who<br />
sign up for this event and only for those people so if you&#8217;d like to<br />
attend one of my exclusive live trainings, you must sign up for this<br />
program.</p>
<p>Ok, that&#8217;s it for now, you have two choices to make right now . . .</p>
<p><a href="http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=DE7dd&amp;m=1fr_4INiXEVjt1&amp;b=dt2lRFJBIW5woIL2pd_rag">Advance and Sign Up To Accelerate Your Business Now</a><br />
or<br />
Die &#8211; And Do What You&#8217;ve Always Done Expecting Different Results</p>
<p>And of course, this event is completely protected by a full<br />
money back guarantee, if I don&#8217;t over deliver on business changing<br />
content simply ask for your money back after the first class and I&#8217;ll<br />
cheerfully give it to you.</p>
<p>I look forward to answering your questions and to helping you make<br />
2011 your breakthrough year!</p>
<p>Warmly,<br />
Dave Lakhani</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mark Joyner is a good sport.  Oh sense the NLP setup, and seriously though, ever since I met Mark at the Double Party in the early days of FAP way back in 2003, he has a fun and easygoing spirit.  Mark is one of the few Internet Marketers I actually enjoy and value his teaching, both content and style.  (And there are hundreds of other IMers I have investigated, followed, dabbled in their methods, and ultimately unsubscribed from &#8211; either from lack of benefit to me or due to their pure spamoramic nonsense)</p>
<p>Currently, Mark is running a contest to win Simpleology <a href="http://www.simpleology.com/coaching/video1">Business Coaching</a>, part of which is random luck, from all entries five people get names drawn out of a hat and one lucky winner is chosen based on &#8220;best entry&#8221; which I am answering with fun &amp; creativity.  That I have in spades.  What I could benefit the most from Simpleology <a href="http://www.simpleology.com/coaching/video1">Business Coaching</a> is finishing.  I have umpteen projects half to ninety-five percent complete.  I change my mind as to what to focus on, I waffle, procrastinate, get easily distracted.</p>
<p>Part of the issue I have recently come to realize is that I am a scanner, as defined by Barbara Sher in her book &#8220;<em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1594863032">Refuse to Choose</a></em>&#8220;</p>
<blockquote><p>Sher identifies someone she calls The Scanner-someone who frequently has a multiplicity of interests, but finds it hard to create a successful life he or she loves because their passions and abilities are taking them in so many different directions.</p></blockquote>
<p>I am still challenged by my health, which has taken a delightful turn in my recent realization that my attempts to manage my IBS have manifested into an eating disorder.  As a result of my health, it is increasingly more difficult to continue to be a stripper, even though I have fun and still hold my own when I manage to get to work, I know in my heart it is time to move on and apply my talents to creating value and money in a way that will allow me the freedom to work from home on the computer as I continue to heal my body.</p>
<p>So here, much to Mark Joyner&#8217;s expected chagrin, I have funDivaized Mark Joyner:</p>
<div id="attachment_179" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img class="size-full wp-image-179" title="funDivaized Mark Joyner" src="http://fundiva.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/markjoyner-fundivaized.jpg?w=500" alt="funDivaized Mark Joyner"   /><p class="wp-caption-text">funDivaized Mark Joyner</p></div>
<p>Now, I am so happy and grateful to be the delighted winner of Mark Joyners Simpleology <a href="http://www.simpleology.com/coaching/video1">Business Coaching</a> and time will tell if Mark and his team can do the reverse: to Joynerize funDiva</p>
<div id="attachment_181" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img class="size-full wp-image-181" title="Joynerized funDiva Logo" src="http://fundiva.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/joynerized-fundivalogo1.jpg?w=500" alt="Joynerized funDiva Logo"   /><p class="wp-caption-text">Joynerized funDiva Logo</p></div>
<p>Now ideally, I wouldn&#8217;t post this til late in the contest, being the sneak that I am, cuz so far there&#8217;s not many entries and I&#8217;d love to have the advantage!  However two factors are making me take action today &#8211; there&#8217;s no actual deadline listed, so my best guess is July 22nd and I&#8217;m busy with my 20 year (gack!) High School Reunion this weekend, if I don&#8217;t get it done now, I probably won&#8217;t and then I kick myself.</p>
