Hey everyone;
Jan. 26th, 2005
Hello once again and I want to welcome new members.

======================================================
First, I know all of you have heard about the tsunami disaster that
happened during the holidays.
My sympathy goes out to all of the victims and families of the disaster.
Be sure to give (if you can) to one of the legitimate organizations
to help those devasted people out. It's hard to imagine close to 200,000
people being killed in just a few hours from the disaster.
To see what organizations are taking donations check out:
http://www.give.org/news/tsunami.asp
Also when you click on each organization's link, the resulting page
will show you how the funds are used, such as salaries, expenses, etc.
as well as what percentage of donations go to the actual program. It
lets you know the money you contribute will be used for the intended
purpose. Know before you give.
This is disaster is yet another example of how people need people.
I'll expand on that in my rambling today "We All Need People"
further down in the newsletter.
Sorry that it has been a while since I emailed, just so many dog-gone
projects going on.
I promise to do better in the future. Hmmm, sounds like a New Years
Resolution...
NAAAAAAAA... I would just break it.

We All Need People
Well it's been 6 years this month since my mom passed away in just a
couple of days. You know it's hard to believe she has been gone that
long (though not out of my heart).
Have you ever thought about just how much your parents did for you as
you were growing up? They provided us with love, support and companionship
too. I think that's called dependancy even though many of us don't like
to admit to having to depend on someone. Well some of us don't anyway...grin...
Anyway I want to touch on how we as marketers need people, like it or
not, it's a fact.
Just like with the tsunami disaster and how those people left behind
have depended on others around them. They have joined together in a
community effort to help each other out in trying to re-build their
lives.
We ourselves have to build relationships with other marketers, our customers,
and the members of our lists. Sure it's great to think "I don't
need anyone's help" however nothing could be further from the truth.
I'll bet you have met individuals though that make that very claim.
Perhaps you can remember as a teenager the feeling of being indestructable?
It's funny how youth can fool our minds into thinking such foolish thoughts.
I know as a teenager there was very few times I thought of just how
fragile life was and just how much I really depended on those around
me.
As marketers or business people, we have to realize just how much our
business, and our success depends upon others and not just our own efforts.
You can be the hardest working person, putting in 20 hours a day of
work and yet still not be a success if you don't have good relationships
with other business people, and your customers.
Relationships affect all parts of our lives, so as you go about your
daily business activities be sure to keep that in mind. And as you build
relationships, don't do so with the thoughts of "what's in it for
me", do so in the spirit of giving and helping those people which
will also build and nurture the relationship.
Geeesh, I must sound like a marriage counselor or something...grin...
but hey then isn't marriage a relationship.
:-)
Anyway do remember how important relationships are in all parts of your
life. Personal and businees. With that please do read the letter below
that forwarded to me via email by my wife. It was forwared to her from
a friend, unfortunately I have no idea who the author is, but hopefully
it will encourage all of you to do something special for someone in
your life. We never know when it may be too late.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
BEING A MOTHER
After 21 years of marriage, My wife wanted me to take another woman
out to dinner and a movie. She said, "I love you, but I know this other
woman loves you and would love to spend some time with you."
The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who has
been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children
had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.
That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie.
"What's wrong, are you well," she asked? My mother is the type of woman
who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign
of bad news.
"I thought that it would be pleasant to spend some time with you," I
responded. "Just the two of us." She thought about it for a moment,
and then said, "I would like that very much." That Friday after work,
as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit nervous.
When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous
about our date. She waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled
her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her
last wedding anniversary. She smiled from a face that was as radiant
as an angel's. "I told my friends that I was going to go out with my
son, and they were impressed," she said, as she got into the car.
"They can't wait to hear about our meeting." We went to a restaurant
that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy. My mother took my
arm as if she were the First Lady.
After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Her eyes could only read
large print. Half way through the entries, I lifted my eyes and saw
Mom sitting there staring at me. A nostalgic smile was on her lips.
"It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small," she
said.
"Then it's time that you relax and let me return the favor," I responded.
During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation- -nothing extraordinary
but catching up on recent events of each other's life. We talked so
much that we missed the movie. As we arrived at her house later, she
said, "I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you."
I agreed.
"How was your dinner date?" asked my wife when I got home. "Very nice.
Much more so than I could have imagined," I answered. A few days later,
my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that
I didn't have a chance to do anything for her.
Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant
receipt from the same place mother and I had dined. An attached note
said: "I paid this bill in advance. I wasn't sure that I could be there;
but nevertheless, I paid for two plates - one for you and the other
for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me.
I love you, son."

Next issue I'll get more back on track, but this issue is in rememberance
of my Mom, the above letter touched my heart and I had to share it with
you.
======================================================
One final quick note:
Nicheology
Ryan Deiss and Jimmy D. Brown have opened up their Nicheology site to
members again. Most of you have probably heard about Nicheology, if
not you can read more here at the below link:
http://quickpaypro.com/x.php?442_A8644
They currently have 29 guides you
can use to create your own niche products. The membership has been closed
because it was full, however they have re-opened it due to losing some
members from a problem they experienced with a payment processor company.
The membership openings won't stay open long so be sure to jump over
and check it out before they fill up again.
Great way to get your own product.
