Wow, the levels some people stoop to in the quest for information/customers is unbelievable! Last week, I got a mail asking about which autoresponders we use here at NJAE, from someone claiming that he really enjoyed reading the ezine, and saying how pleased he was that we offered it for free. I didn`t recognise the email address, or the initials, but replied anyway. As you all know, we don`t use AR`s here, except for the confirmation and welcome mails.
So anyway, late last night, I got another email, this time offering me a VIP pass to a joint venture seminar in Las Vegas, from the same person, but signed "Jason Cox". I knew I`d seen the name somewhere before, and thought it was strange that this guy who didn`t even seem to be subscribed to the ezine was acting like he`d been a subcriber forever, and was offering me, a tiny little fish in a great big ocean, this opportunity. So I decided to do some of what I do best: Research.
Nothing much turned up, that is until I found some posts by the guy in a couple of forums I go to every now and again, but also over at Michael Green`s howto forum, which I visit on a regular basis.
Do you have an article, a great hint or tip you would like to share??
Send us your ideas. All legitimate offers will be accepted for review. This includes ezine ad swaps, article submissions, link trades, and joint ventures. Send them HERE or use the forms in the members lounge, either way is fine by me. Also, if you`ve got any feeback, I`d be glad to hear it, don`t forget to add your sigfile on the end and I`ll
use it in the members comments bit of the ezine :~)

Featured Article: What's Stopping You?
By Kathy Gates, Professional Life Coach
We're all familiar with the cycle:
1. We want new, but resist change.
2. We want satisfaction, but procrastinate.
3. We want control, but defer to circumstance.
So, what's stopping *you*?
A belief?
"I'm an incurable procrastinator, I'll probably be late to my own
funeral." Beliefs like this dictate your thoughts, and your
thoughts turn into action -- or in this case, *inaction*.
Consciously turn those thoughts into something that can help you,
not hinder you.
A habit?
While it seems too simple to actually have impact, success on any
goal boils down to a good habit. If you eat well and exercise,
you'll be successful with a healthy lifestyle. If you don't
control your spending and put aside some for emergencies, you'll
conversely end up with financial woes. Do you habits help you or
hurt you?
Easier not to do?
This is probably the most common stopper. "Sure, I'd love to
have my own business, but.". Change is not easy. No matter how
small a change, you will feel uncomfortable at some points. We
all know this, and sometimes it's just easier to live with the
'familiar unhappiness' than to push through the inevitable
uncomfortable feelings. Anticipate the feelings, and be ready to
push through the change until it becomes a part of you.
Fear?
What if I'm not happier? What if I fail? What if I make a
mistake? While the buzz words are "fear of failure", often the
more concrete reason is fear of looking silly or ignorant, or --
gasp! -- uncool. But without being able to accept failure, and
possible even some ridicule while you learn, you are dooming
yourself to the rut you are in. The same way a toddler has to
fall over and over before he gets it right, you too will have to
be willing to fall down, get up, and try and again.
So what can you do about these stoppers?
1. Minimize its impact in your life: Find, create, and set up
the emotional, mental, or physical support you need.
2. Change it: Take a hard look at your daily habits. Are they
contributing to what you want out of life? You can practice
daily bad habits or daily good habits. It's truly your choice.
3. Neutralize it: Turn the negative message into a positive
choice. "Maybe I am a procrastinator, but that's not something
I'm born with like blue eyes. I can still control my brain, and
make my choices on what I want, not on what a procrastinator
might do."
Remember This: The *only* difference between you and the people
who are getting what they want in their lives is that they kept
trying, kept learning, kept asking and negotiating and exploring
-- kept moving forward, one step at a time. Get Moving!
There are many keys to success, but they all depend on one
thing: action. No one ever experiences success in any area of
life without first taking some action. No amount of good
training, excellent planning or benevolent intention will ever
create success. Not even a little.
Now, that may not be news to many of you. In fact, Nike seems
to have capitalized on that idea with their "Just Do It"
advertising campaign.
But I'm going to tell you something about successful people you
may not have realized: Successful people take action-even if it
is the wrong action-and succeed despite their miscalculations.
I have observed again and again successful people making poor
decisions, taking actions which were counter-productive to their
goals, yet succeeding in spite of it.
Successful people have a habit of action. They don't
overanalyze or plan. Instead, they often jump in and learn from
their mistakes. Since they have dealt with their fear of
failure as well as their fear of success, they can simply plow
through the mistakes and adversities.
People who never quite make it seem to major in everything
EXCEPT action. They are great planners. They read all the
books. They are perfectly trained. They just never take action.
So, if you are falling a little behind in your life plans today,
why not try this: Do SOMETHING - even if it might be the wrong
thing - and see what happens.
