The Greatest Obstacle to Success
The fear of failure is the single greatest obstacle to success in adult life. Taken to its extreme, we become totally pre-occupied with not making a mistake, with seeking approval for security above all other considerations. The experience of the fear of failure is in the words of “I can’t”, “I can’t.” We feel it in the front of the body, starting at the solar plexus and moving up to the rapid beating of the heart, rapid breathing and a tight throat. We also experience this fear in the bladder and in the irresistible need to run to the bathroom.

The Fear of Rejection Holds You Back
The second major fear that interferes with performance and inhibits expression, is the fear of rejection. We learn this when our parents make their love conditional upon our behavior. If we do what pleases them, they give us love and approval. If we do something they don’t like, they withdraw their love and approval—which we interpret as rejection.

The Roots of Type A Behavior
As adults, people raised with conditional love become preoccupied with the opinions of others. Many men develop Type A behavior which is characterized by hostility, suspicion and an obsession with performance to some undetermined high standard. This is expressed in the attitude of “I have to,” I have to,” and is associated with the feeling that “I have to work harder and accomplish more in order to please the boss” who has become a surrogate parent. ?

The Most Common Trap
More than 99 percent of adults experience both these fears of failure and rejection. They are caught in the trap of feeling, “I can’t,” but “I have to,” “I have to,” but “I can’t.”

The Key to Peak Performance
The antidote to these fears is the development of courage, character and self-esteem. The opposite of fear is actually love, self-love and self-respect. Acting with courage in a fearful situation is simply a technique that boosts our regard for ourselves to such a degree that our fears subside and lose their ability to effect our behavior and our decisions.

Action Exercises
Here are two things you can do to increase your self-esteem and self-confidence and overcome your fears.

First, realize and accept that you can do anything you put your mind to. Repeat the words, “I can do it! I can do it!” whenever you feel afraid for any reason.

Second, continually think of yourself as a valuable and important person and remember that temporary failure is the way you learn how to succeed.

Sandwich Lease Options & Trading course

This is a strategy excellent for any market but especially a down-turning market. The investor becomes the meat in the sandwich between the seller and the eventual buyer of the property. The investor leases the property from the seller and sub-lets it to the tenant/buyer.
It helps all parties involved and becomes a Win/Win/Win situation.

The system allows for the

Seller - To achieve a better sale price. Investor - Positive Cash flow. Buyers - Chance to own a home.

SELLER

The strategy is useful in many circumstances but particularly if the property is upside-down, which means that the debt owing on the property is more than the net proceeds of a sale would fetch. In this case the seller is looking more for debt relief, as there is no equity to cash up. It allows the seller to get a better price than if he sold for a low all cash, quick settlement price.

The seller of the house will still keep title to the house and keep all tax benefits. This is also particularly useful for a tired landlord who may just have had his property trashed again and is motivated by wanting to avoid tenant hassles rather than any particular financial issues.

INVESTOR

YOU the investor can make a profit without risk, without ownership!

• No need for a bank mortgage = the owner still keeps ownership, the title and the mortgage.
• No maintenance or repairs = the rent-to-buy tenants take care of most of that as a trade-off for them being able to improve the property.
• No regular tenants = Rent –to– Buy Tenants have owner mentality and are so much easier to look after.
• Keep the capital gain = even though the tenants must get the capital gain from the work they have done to the property, the investor can keep some of the general market capital gain.
• No need for your cash = Even though the seller will want a deposit from the investor, the investor can get these funds from the eventual tenant/buyer.
• No need for your equity = as the investor is not applying for a mortgage, there is no need to provide any equity.

BUYERS

Buyers have three options.

1. They can eventually qualify for a bank mortgage and own the home.
2. They can decide not to buy and walk, sometimes useful if they are just trying out the area for schools etc.
3. They can do up the house and sell it on the open market to another purchaser. This is sometimes useful if the tenant knows they would never qualify for a mortgage but wish to work on a house and make some money.

The system allows them to cope with the deposit. Rather than trying to save up for a large amount, they can create it through their work on the property. One of our couples achieved $15,000 this way in 7 months by painting and gardening. They would not have been able to save $15,000 in 7 months with two full time jobs and two children.

The Sandwich Lease Option System is the ultimate in Positive Cash Flow.

The next Sandwich Lease and Trading Course covers many other trading strategies, such as assignment, double settlement, the Mao Formula, Cash Back Stop System, Lease Options and Sandwich Lease Options.

It offers all the New Zealand contracts needed and they have been tried and tested in the NZ property markets.

You are allowed to re-attend the course for free within the first twelve months. If you are interested in more information email leaseoptions@millionairemakersinternational.com

Practice Uncommon Appreciation

by Jack Canfield

If asked, could you name the five wealthiest people in the world, or five people who have one the Nobel Prize, or the last five Academy Award winners for best actor and actress? The point is, none of us remembers the headliners of yesterday. When the applause dies, the awards tarnish, and achievements are forgotten, no one cares about who won which award.

But if I asked you to list five teachers or mentors who believed in you and encouraged you, five friends who have helped you through a difficult time, five people who have taught you something worthwhile, or five people who have made you feel appreciated and special - that’s much easier to do, isn’t it?

That’s because the people who make a difference in your life aren’t the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They’re the ones who care. If you want to be remembered for being important to someone else’s life, make them feel appreciated.

Appreciation as a Secret of Success

Another important reason for being in a state of appreciation as often as possible is that when you are in such a state, you are in one of the highest emotional states possible.

When you are in a state of appreciation and gratitude, you are in a state of abundance. You are appreciating what you do in stead of focusing on, and complaining about, what you don’t have. Your focus is on what you have received… and you always get more of what you focus on. And because the law of attraction states that like attracts like, the more you are in a state of gratitude, the more you will attract to be grateful for. It becomes an upward-spiraling process of ever-increasing abundance that just keeps getting better and better.

Think about it. The more grateful people are for the gifts we give them, the more inclined we are to give them more gifts. Their gratitude and appreciation reinforces our giving. The same principle holds true on a universal and spiritual level as it does on an interpersonal level.

Keeping Score

When I first learned about the power of appreciation, it made total sense to me. However, it was still something that I forgot to do. I hadn’t yet turned it into a habit. A valuable technique that I employed to help me lock in this new habit was to carry a 3″ x 5″ card in my pocket all day, and every time I acknowledged and appreciated someone, I would place a check mark on the card. I would not allow myself to go to bed until I had appreciated 10 people. If it was late in the evening and I didn’t have 10 check marks, I would appreciate my wife and children, I would send an e-mail to several staff, or I would write a letter to my mother or stepfather. I did whatever it took until it became an unconscious habit.

And remember… take time to appreciate yourself, too!

A Great Movie To See : http://www.whatisgratituderock.com/mgr_small.swf?

I? struggled around for almost 18 months before I realized that to have real success online, I needed to have my own product.

After I realized that, I created my first one… then another… and another… I started to get obsessed with product creation.

And that’s the topic of this newsletter is creating your own product. I’m going to show you 19 ways to create your own products quickly.

But, before I do, I wanted to talk about a few key things.

1st - don’t do all the work yourself (we covered this before when we talked about outsourcing)

2nd - the key is quality content… It doesn’t matter if you have to film in on your home camcorder or a recorded phone call… if the content is high quality - your customers will love you.

I paid $50 for a weightlifting DVD the other day, and when I turned it on… the opening scene was black.

Then you heard the guys wife say “I can’t see anything.”

A second later the guy said, “You’ve got to take the lens cap off honey!”

You then saw her take the lens cap off, and he started teaching.

Now, that was horrible quality, but the content was amazing. I ended up buying all 6 dvd in his series BECAUSE THE CONTENT WAS SO GOOD!

I know quite a few people who get caught up in making everything look too professional. I had one friend spent thousands of dollars filming and producing one DVD (which turned out very nice BTW) - but all of his budget was spent on
that, and had no moolah left over to market the product.He still hasn’t made his initial investment back.

My point isn’t to make products that are crap - but to create the highest level quality content as possible, and your subscribers will appreciate it. I’ve been going back now with all of my old products and now repackaging them now that I can afford to.

3rd - just do it. Remember from before my motto “Ready, Fire, Aim.” Get the product idea, create it and get it out there as fast as possible. Money follows speed, and if you don’t go fast you will loose out.

Another reason to go fast is because what if your product is a flop? Another important lesson is to fail fast. I’ve known one person who’s been trying to sell the same ebook for the 5 years I’ve known him with absolutely no success.

Like my friend Marlon Sanders says, “Dead ducks don’t quack!” If you have a dead duck - move on to something new - FAST!

4th - people pay different prices for the same content delivered in different ways.

What I mean is that you can sell an ebook for $27. Now, if you take that exact same content, record it into a “book on CD” - you can sell that same content (in a different format) for a lot more - usually $97 or more.

Now, let’s say you want to go to the next level… what if you took the audio, and the text, and combined them into a video. You could make a camtasia video that shows the bullet points from the book as the audio reads through them.

Or create an outline from the text, and record yourself teaching the concepts…

There are a million ways to switch forms of content - but just remember that people pay more for audio then they do text… and more for video then they do audio.

Ok - now that that is out of the way - let’s get to work.

?

Here are 19 ways to create a product:

1st - Software Creation - Creating software is one of the easiest ways to create a product fast. You can create something for almost any niche. I have one client who had a public domain book about dream interpretation - so he had someone create a software program for under $100 where the user could type in a word, and if found that interpretation in the book and displayed it for the end user.

2nd - Public Domain - this is one of my FAVORITES!!! These are “works” where the copyrights has expired. You are able to take these and re-package them and sell them as your own products!

3rd - Interviews - interview an expert in ANY field and sell the recordings and/or the transcripts. This is the best way to become an expert in any field - just interview the experts and people will see you as one of them.

4th - Seminar Videos - put on your own seminar, record it with a video camera and sell the footage.

5th - Re-niche content - if your selling a product (or bought rights to a product) - you can re-niche it for a different audience. Example would be if you sell a book about speed reading, re-niche it to “speed reading for students.”

6th - Book on CD - record yourself reading your book and sell it on cd.

7th - Resource CD - compile a list of resources for a specific niche, and sell the directory. I’ve personally bought resources on supplements directories and also one on “spy” stuff. (I know - I’m a geek)

8th - Recycle content - take products or content you’ve created in the past and re-use it. I’m using this blog post as a newsletter, an article, probably a chapter in a future book… Recycle what you’re doing now.

9th - Camtasia Video - this is one of the most powerful tools online marketers have. Create screen capture videos of anything you can do on your computer. Demos of software - PowerPoint slides, how to… anything computer related. Think how much moolah the “computer professor” makes by making “how to” videos for different Microsoft products.

10th - Idea collection - Combine a list of ideas and sell those. I’ve got friends who sell list of ideas on how to make money quickly, how to clean your carpets, how to take care of lawns, etc…

11th - Others experts submit content - get others to submit articles, or audios, or vidoes, and compile them into a product.? I did this with one of my wrestling products.? I had people submit their best stories, pictures and poems and compiled them into a product.

12th - Podcasts - like an online radio show that you can download. Have paid podcasts - or record a bunch, then take the recordings and put them onto CD’s.

13th - Membership sites - have residual income coming in when people pay you over and over again for access to your membership site. You can provide content in your membership sites - or create software programs that people have to pay monthly to use.

14th - Teleseminars - just record yourself interviewing someone or teaching on a subject that you know a lot about. The majority of my products were created with some type of teleseminar.

15th - Ghostwriters - hire someone (think outsourcing again) to write a book on a the subject that you want to sell.

16th - Free coaching calls - do free coaching calls for your members, track their progress, then compile the recordings into a product.

17th - Mastermind roundtables - get a group of experts together and have them discuss the subject - record the full thing and you’ve got an instant product!

18th - Private Label - similar to public domain, but usually created w/ the intent to sell w/out a copyright. A million ways to use private label stuff. Most people fail at this because they try to sell the content “as is.” Be sure to make it your own and you’ll have a ton of success with these.

19th - Case studies - one of the best products I bought this year is 12 hours of case studies. The people teaching the course compiled hundreds of casestudies for the subject we were learning about, and then explained how they all worked.

Ok - there’s 19 ideas. Hopefully that will give you an idea for your first product.

Look out for the next issue - We’ve got some exciting things planned.

Thanks again,
Russell Brunson
Ready, Fire, Aim

Dear TeamDiamond how are you all, Barry what an exciting news cant wait for 2007 to see the presentation, Iam emailing you guys to tell you that Iam fine and in good health ,Iraq is now more dangerous than before due to Saddam trial , and now we are not allowed to leave home by 8pm sometimes we are not allowed to be in street at all due to security reason also we have day that we are only allowed to use the car that carry registration with an even number !! so if your car has an odd number you are not allowed to take it to the road electricity available 2 or 3 hours a day only , petrol prices are soo expensive even more expensive than NZ , we depend all time on generator but cannot use every appiliance at home due to the limit in power supplied by the generator you see people got kidnapped infront of your face and you cannot do anything , its like when Mafia in old days do their business infront of you and you have no right to interfere not even the police . when I go out I have to escort with me at least 2 people or I will not be safe , soo many things need to learn to survive in Iraq, Gov should at least provide a guid book for that , my family dont allow me to go outside as much as my relative do cause they thing I dont know how to behave the way I should to survive … one of the thump rule is when you go outside I should not stay longer than 30 minute in one place to prevent any kidnapp attempt , a Gun in my pocket is as important as carrying a cellphone in NZ , even if there is no bullet inside just showing that you carry one is enough to stop some people from taken advantage on you ! Iraq is like a cowboy western movie , soldiers are every where , they left alone and hungry , some of them knock on our door asking us if we can sell them some food and drink because thy dont supply them food all time and they have to buy from the local houses . I wonder if Iraq will ever consider a country after all , seen and hear about Iraq was nothing comparing when you actually live in ….. alright I wish you all the best ……….go to leave the internet Zane
