If you have never gone to an online marketing seminar,
you're missing out.
I know what you're thinking...
"Seminars are expensive."
That's true. They are. Some of 'em cost over $5,000.
Even the lower-priced parties are around $2,000.
"It's a pain in the butt to attend."
Again, that's fair. In order to go, you have to get
on a plane and fly somewhere. And you have to take
time from your work and family to do it.
But, there are at least 3 reasons that attending
seminars should be on your priority list (even if
you DON'T plan to do a major product launch).
1.
You Are Surrounded By Like-minded People.
Scoff if you want. But, I'm telling you, there's
huge POWER in being around folks who are driven to
the same goal as you are.
To this day, my friends and family don't really get
what I do. They nod their heads and smile, but I
can tell their eyes are glazing over.
Well, picture being at a party with a few hundred
people who not only know what you do... they do it,
too! You'll be amazed at how inspiring that can be.
2. You Meet People Who Inspire And Drive You.
I know it sounds flighty.
But, when you're downing
drinks with someone and sharing strategies back and
forth about what's working, your mind ignites.
You find yourself wishing you'd brought your laptop
so you can start taking action that moment!
And here's something better... you exchange phone
numbers (yep, remember that thing you used to use
before becoming a recluse?) and follow up with
each other.
That's accountability, baby and it can drive you to
major success.
3. You Remove Yourself From The Daily Routine.
Ever wake up and have trouble getting your engine
started? (I'm not talking about your car here.) And if
you ever DO get the thing to turn over, you can't seem
to get any speed?
It happens to me all the time. I'll wake up and the
day will pass without my having done one truly
productive thing! It stinks.
I'll tell you why it happens to me...
I get bored of my routine! Now, don't get me wrong.
Routines are good. In fact, they're CRITICAL to your
success.
Humans need routine.
But, it's JUST as important to get OUT of your
routine. And going to a seminar does that for you.
It makes you leave your boring daily routine behind.
Going to a seminar can give your brain (and motivation)
the jump-start it needs.
Last Thoughts
I'm not trying to sell you on a seminar here. I'm
only trying to get you to think about going to one.
There are a lot of benefits to going. Benefits that
aren't always clear until you're there, in the
hallways, in the bars, at lunch... talking with folks
who are doing EXACTLY what you are doing.
It's empowering.
It's inspiring. And chances are, one
you attend a seminar, you'll be excited to go to
another..
7 Years At The Keyboard
Ok, for those of you still waiting, the Internet won't go away.
Hang up the hopes that it represents a passing fad sharing the fate of the Beanie or the Pet Rock.
With legitimate high-tech stocks finally in the market, regular people doing "real" business online, and consumer acceptance to the point of purchasing movie tickets and homeowners insurance over the Internet, the Web is here to stay. However, many people still get that glassy-eyed, far away dreamer look on their faces when they think of the riches awaiting them on just the other side of their own dot-com. Well, whether your business represents a laptop on a TV tray in the basement, or a mega-corporation with offices all over the world, my last 7 years in the Wild West online has revealed a few "truths" which should last from here until the end of computers.
** There is no get-rich-quick!
** I guess it's in man's nature to desire instant wealth.

Interactive Charts are Reinventing Visual Data
Interactive charts have revolutionized the way visual data is displayed. Think back to elementary school geography class, sitting drowsily in your desk as the teacher pulls down her roll-up world maps and charts to review the 50 states and their capitals. Visual improvements have been made over the past few years to improve those maps and charts. Most maps and charts now are divided into topographical, population, climate, economic resources, physical, political, and road maps, color coded for the viewer's convenience. There are probably even more, but that has been the extent of interactive charts for several years.But imagine combining all of those maps and charts into one report, and all a user has to do is drag the mouse over a state or a country and all of the information you would have to display several maps to show is centralized in one display of interactive charts.
It is called interactive charts, because it works in partnership with the user to provide all of the information...

Another Million Dollar Dream
When the itch of literature comes upon a man, the only thing that will relieve it is the scratching of a pen.
A Victorian vicar wrote that and he wasn't wrong. I'd had the urge to write since I was a young man and I indulged myself from time to time. I scribbled the odd short story, I wrote pornographic letters for a couple of contact magazines, I sent ideas to TV stations, I wrote scripts and I collected a lot of rejections ? as most writers do. One day I got a letter inviting me to visit a TV producer to discuss my work. I wept.
The producer didn't want to use my script; she liked it, but she was looking for writers for the revival of an old courtroom drama.
Did I think I could write thirty episodes? Why not? I said. Go away and study the law, courts and court procedure, she said. As soon as the contracts are signed I'll send you the story lines, she said.
I read books. I spent my days in London's famous courts. I made friends with...
