Hot Offers for November 30
I gotta be quick today. Project work around here is really cooking right now. Plus I'm getting heavily involved in the new Training Grounds site I've been telling you about lately.

(Incidentally, if you check out the intro page for the Training Grounds, I believe you'll notice -- ahem -- a familiar name among those who have given their thoughts about what Jaime is doing there.)

A LOT of good thing happening there! I'll give you fuller report in a couple of days.

But for now, I'll just forward you on to this week's hot offers.

We Learn as We Go
I should know better. I've been apprehensive about some new directions I'm going with my business. I've been procrastinating. But when I answered a question today about doubts one new business owner had in starting his business, I had to slap myself on the head.

Sometimes an answer is so obvious we can look right past it.

The question I answered was from someone who was starting a web consulting business. He has a strong background in marketing, but no past clients to give him credibility. He asked how to get that initial credibility that leads clients to hire him. As I answered him, I went back to how I got where I am now. And it reminded me of something important about starting a new phase of life.

I'll explain in a little bit, but first a bit of background.

Fifteen years ago, I managed to mess up an entire career -- not just a job, but an entire career field. I found myself looking for work with an advanced degree that was good only for one thing -- the career whose bridges I had burned behind me.

I eventually landed a two-month temp assignment as a proofreader, based on my undergraduate degree in English. I went into it with my dictionary and old reference books filled with sticky notes to point me to cheat sheets I hoped would fill in the things I didn't know off the top of my head. I was nervous that I would be found out as not being qualified for the job.

I relied on those cheat sheets a lot at first, but soon became proficient. The two month assignment eventually turned into nine years of "temp" work there.

Nearly six years ago, the work there dried up and I was job hunting again. But the work I had done there had become so specialized that I didn't have experience with some of the software that had become essential for that position in other places.

So I took what little HTML experience I had gotten at my last job and approached a small business owner who wanted to hire someone for two months to revamp his website. I knew enough to be able to diagnose some code problems with his existing site and apparently impressed him enough that he hired me.

I knew nothing about ecommerce and way too little about web design and development. I was nervous that my lack of knowledge would be found out. I worked eight hours a day building his site and every other free moment I had studying everything I could get my hands on.

I made plenty of mistakes along the way and learned a ton as I worked. The new site quickly blew away the paltry results he was getting with his existing site. A two-month job again eventually turned into an ongoing consulting relationship that still is my main source of revenue nearly six years later.

So here I stand, seeking to expand my business into new areas. And I again approach it with nervousness that the things I don't know in this new area will prove my undoing.

You think I'd have learned by now: YOU LEARN AS YOU DO.

We all have fears as we start something new. But if we are conscientious about doing the best we can, we'll get results. The fear is nothing more than a sign that we desire to do our new endeavor well. If we recognize that, it becomes a tool to drive us to better results.
Fearfully yours (in a GOOD way)
Jeff


P.S. I'm finding a lot of good things going on in The Training Grounds -- the intensive Internet marketing community designed to walk you through every step of developing an online career.

Things have focused mainly on getting to know other members so far and numbers are growing by the day. But the way the outlines are set up, it looks like there's no possible way to get through this WITHOUT getting all you need to succeed. Check it out. It's got a lot more to it than any other program I've seen.

Making a Movie of Your Life
I don't recall if I posted this here before, but I just posted this on another forum and thought you might find it useful, too, in helping yourself make the transition into the kind of life you'd like to live.

I don't know how popular this technique is, but I picked it up at a Jim Edwards bootcamp, added some twists of my own to it, and have found it useful (when I don't get too distracted to remember to do it).

I visualize the kind of life I want to have as a movie. For example, I visualize myself walking around my house and seeing all the improvements my wife and I would like to make to it all completed. I walk into my garage and see the kind of car that I would like sitting there.

I walk into my office and check my email. I see personal emails from some of the business owners that I would love to make connections with. I check my schedule and see the classes and seminars I want to teach. I check the projects I'm working on and see them nearing completion and I check my plans for rolling them out and find them on target.

I check my sources of hands-free income and see them producing steadily. I write checks -- not for bills (they've already been paid in full), but to charities that I want to support to a greater degree. Or I book a flight for my wife and I to visit one of our children in various parts of the world -- without having to make plans on how to juggle bills and scrimp and save for months to scrape together enough money for the visit.

One thing I've found to be critical for me in doing this technique is to see this movie through my own eyes and not as an outside observer. When I see myself as an outside observer, watching me do these things from a distance, it tends to reinforce doubts that these things could really happen to me. It seems like I'm watching someone who merely looks like me living this kind of life. But when I see them from the perspective of my own eyes, they feel more real.

I hope this helps.

Can What You Know Right Now Make You Money Immediately?
I have a quick question for you today...

Do you know how to use what you already know about internet marketing to bring in cash right now?

I'm talking... immediately!

If you're anything like me, you've learned all kinds of things about AdSense, PPC, blogging, affiliate marketing, and all the other money making strategies that are out there.

But how many of them bring in instant, guaranteed income?

Not a one, last I checked.

That's why I'm excited about an exciting program from my friend Jaime Mintun, who has a truly remarkable story.

You can read her public letter right here.

My two second version of her story is that Jaime was homeless and broke after a good opportunity went bad... but she used her internet marketing knowledge (the same things we've all known about for ages) to come up with $5,000 cash in less than 30 days.

What's truly remarkable is that she then went on to make $10,000 per month after that! But she did it in a way that other Internet marketers hadn't really thought about...

Want to know her secret?

Jaime became in internet marketing consultant.

Before you say "that's not for me," realize that she just started calling herself a consultant because she knew more about Internet marketing than most people.

Could you say that about yourself?

I'm willing to bet you could!

In a private beta test of her new program, Jaime had dozens of people making more than $3,000 (even up to $10,000) per month... in their very first month!

This is NOT just another info product, or a lame teleseminar series... this is a program where Jaime actually takes you through the steps to earn six figures (or more) with Internet marketing knowledge you already have and has people lined up to pay you for that knowledge.

Are you ready to do more with all of your knowledge and skills? Would you like guaranteed income for the work that you put into Internet marketing?

If so, take a good look at what Jaime has to offer.

To your success!
Jeff


PS- Jaime is one of the most connected people I know... which is one reason why she has managed to get new clients for so many people... but it also means that a lot of people are going to hear about this program FAST! Make sure you check it out right now.

**I’ll have a secret question in there for you to answer, and if you get it right within the first 10 hours (trying to give everyone around the world a shot at this, regardless of your time zone), you’ll receive yet ANOTHER surprise free gift above and beyond the free $497 business-building package you've already downloaded.**

Just check back tomorrow!

In Case You've Been Wondering
Now, a lot of people I know were confused when I told them about the $497 business building package that a friend of mine was giving away, so I’ll explain a little more about it in a moment.

But, if you’re pressed for time, you can download the package – the very package that helped Jaime Mintun become a six-figure consultant in less than a month – right here, for free:

http://www.OneStopWebSupport.com/traininggrounds-pre

Five years ago, Jaime came into internet marketing just like the rest of us... she read ebooks, tried to learn complex software, and invested in coaching programs, all to learn "internet marketing."

And then she disappeared.

One year ago she reappeared... and she was making a killing with her internet marketing knowledge... but not the way ANY OF US had been making our money.

That would have been too much work.

Jaime became a six-figure consultant almost overnight simply by taking the same strategies you and I use every day... basic IM stuff... and sold her knowledge to offline groups as a highly paid consultant.

Then Jaime went and did something truly amazing...

She opened up a coaching program to show others her simple system... and many of her students followed in her footsteps and started making more than $10,000 per month!

Now Jaime is working on an even bigger project…and she wants to tailor it to suit your needs, since if you get it when it comes out, you’ll be the one benefiting from it anyway.

So, she’s put up a quick little survey, so she can pick your brain and give you what you want in her product.

I really respect her doing this, since not enough people truly take the time to get input from the people who actually buy their products anymore.

That’s why I'd really like to help Jaime out on this. So, if you're willing to answer just one question, she said she will hand over her $497 consulting business in a box completely free!

I'm not sure how long Jaime is going to keep this offer open... so make sure you get your hands on this today!
Jeff


PS- Jaime is the real deal. Who gets unsolicited testimonials like this?

“During my 5 years of buying eBooks, listening to webinars, receiving up to 20 different newsletters a day, chasing crazy "get rich quick schemes" and all the other "stuff" that goes on, I can say, without a shadow of a doubt that I have NEVER seen anything that comes close to the wonderful opportunity that Jaime has presented us with.” – Ian Magellan

Just visit this page while it’s still available to learn Jaime's six figure secrets for free…
