The Kaleidoscope of Life
The Kaleidoscope of Life
Living Together Differently
We tend to gravitate toward people who are the most like us, at least in the ways that make us feel comfortable. But life has its way of bringing us into contact with people who challenge us with their differences. It may be an obvious difference reflected in their outward appearance or an invisible but powerful philosophical stance, but even in our closest circle of friends and family, there are those that confront us with their different ways of experiencing and expressing life. We can choose to resist , but we can also choose to learn from them and appreciate that they too have a place in the kaleidoscope of life.
As much as we may say that we want peace and quiet and a life without struggle, the truth is that human beings are, at this time, thriving in a world of dualities and challenges. It is how we choose to approach these hurdles that determine if we sail over them, confirming our agility, or trip and end up face down in the dust. And each of us absolutely will and must stumble, and then get up, brush the dust off and carry on. This is how we learn and grow, developing depth of character and shades of understanding. In a world of dualities, we have trouble defining ourselves without something opposite, and can’t discover who we are. Without challenge, there is nothing to do and nothing to discover. That leaves us either in a state of non-being or the state of pure spirit, but as humans, we are spiritual beings experiencing the physical world in all of its startling contrast and beauty.
No matter how spiritual we are, our lives will have challenges. We will always run into people that are different that we are, but the true challenge may be in finding ways to be at peace with this process. Rather than give in to the fight or flight response that comes from our animal nature, we can find new ways to evolve together into higher more beautiful expressions of ourselves, realizing, embracing and celebrating the beauty of diversity and the strength it offers for the future.

Bulletproof Communication for the Unexpected by Jim Rohn
Bulletproof Communication for the Unexpected...
Every day, in dozens of different ways, you're sending a message out to the world... a message that determines whether or not people are going to like you, help you, work with you, respect you, hire you, promote you, and more. Now, discover the simple secrets to making that message exactly the one you want to be sending - so that you can use it to achieve exactly the outcomes you're looking for: at home, at work and in every other area of your life.
Here is a special message from our friend, Tony Jeary, "Coach to the World's Top CEOs".
On a scale of 1 to 10, how much of a role does communication play in your everyday happiness, peace of mind, and success? Most people I put that question to in my seminars and coaching sessions put the number somewhere between zero and 5.
So let me ask you what I ask them: Do you ever talk to your spouse or kids? Do you ever attend a meeting at work? Do you ever send an email? Do you ever need the help of a sales clerk or repair person? Do you ever eat out at a restaurant? Do you ever leave voice-mail messages? Do you have a website? Do you ever go shopping? Do you ever have to make a decision about what to wear? Do you ever have to deal with a customer service rep on the phone? Do you ever need somebody else to do something for you? Do you ever need someone to agree with you, or see things your way?
If you answered yes to any of these questions - and I'll bet you answered yes to just about all of them - then you, my friend, are a communicator. The fact is, you're involved in dozens of communications each day. Hundreds each week! Communication factors HUGELY into your everyday life. On that 1-to-10 scale I just asked you about? Easily a 15. When you get right down to it, your whole life is a series of communications. And as you're about to discover, every one of them is a critical factor in your success equation. If you've never thought about it that way, then I can guarantee that a communication breakdown is happening. Somewhere along the line - probably in many places - people aren't getting the message you want to be sending. And I'll tell you something else. Something of vital, vital importance: All the people you communicate with are getting a message of some kind - whether it's the one you'd like them to get or not.
My name is Tony Jeary, and I've spent the past 20 years helping some of today's biggest CEOs and corporations to communicate their messages to the world in the most powerful, inspiring, and effective ways possible. I teach these big shots - I'm talking Ford, Wal-Mart, and Texaco "big," to name just a few, things like:
How to bulletproof communications from the unexpected. Ever been thrown off course by an unanticipated question, an unforeseen comment, a "what if" that you hadn't prepared for? There's an easy way for you to make sure that never happens again.
The secret to looking prepared. It's half the battle in any communication -- maybe more. And it's so simple, I'm always amazed more people don't do it.
The surprising thing people really want out of your communications. Most people aren't giving it to them. If you can give it to them, they'll give you what you want every time.
The amazing power of the "So What" factor. Capitalizing on it is the key to instantly gaining a person's undivided attention - from bored employees to unruly kids.
My clients pay me tens and hundreds of thousands, sometimes millions of dollars, for this kind of information - and they're happy to do it! Why? Because the bottom-line results my strategies and technique deliver - quadrupled profits, supercharged productivity, overnight brand recognition, and more - make my bill look like a drop in the bucket.
But what about you? You're not personally a giant corporate entity. You don't have the same needs they do, right? Well, answer me this: Would your life be different and better if: your colleagues, clients, customers, and employees always responded to you with respect, admiration, and an eager willingness to help you achieve your goals? If you were always confident that no matter what you had to talk to them about - even tough, touchy stuff - conversations with your spouse and kids would go smoothly and result in exactly the outcomes you wanted? If you could cut the number of meetings and conferences you had to go to in half (maybe more!) but accomplish twice as much in those meetings (again, maybe more) as you do now - no wasted time at all? If you always did and said exactly the right things to persuade clients and customers to work with you - and you did it automatically, without even having to think about it? If you floated though life hassle free, with all the people you deal with on a daily basis wanting to help you out and make things as easy and pleasant for you as possible: sales clerks, waiters, customer service reps, bank tellers, repair people, other drivers - everyone? If so, then please read on. What I'm about to share is going to impact your life in a way you can't even begin to imagine. I know you're familiar with the principle that every action causes a reaction. Well, in the same way, every communication, even the smallest, seemingly insignificant ones, results in a perception. You communicate - through an email, through a conversation, through the way you're standing, through what you're wearing, through any of a hundred different ways - and the person on the receiving end of that communication decides something about you as a direct result. If you aren't in control of the message you're sending, that can be a very scary proposition.
It's like jumping on the back of a horse without taking the reins: You're definitely going to go somewhere, but you might not like where you end up, and getting there could be very uncomfortable. On the other hand, if you can control the message you're sending out to the world - if you know exactly what impression every one of your communications is making on people - then you can make just about every situation work to your advantage and turn out the way YOU want it to.
That's going to translate into:
-- More opportunities to advance your career and increase your income
-- More time to spend doing the things you love with the people you love
-- Less tension, anxiety, and stress across the board
-- Fewer (if any!) negative confrontations
-- Fewer misunderstandings, miscommunications, and missed opportunities for positive, mutually beneficial relationships
-- Greater enjoyment in just about every situation you can think of
You may not have a global business empire. And you may not have ten thousand spare dollars to spend. But I hope you're beginning to realize that being a powerful, masterful communicator is going to help you just as much as it helps any corporate big boy. And as you'll find out in just a minute, you DON'T need their big bucks to become a masterful communicator (more about that in a moment). But first, let me ask you: What kind of messages are your communications sending right now?
That's the first question I ask my corporate clients when they come to my Success Acceleration Studio here in Dallas. And it's the first one I'll ask you in my new program Communication Mastery: How to Present Your Best Self Every Time. To get to the answer, you and I are going to go through a Communication Universe Assessment. By the end of it, you'll have a very clear picture of when, where, and how you communicate during the course of, say, an average week. Even more important, you'll start to get a picture of how those communications are received, and where the gaps exist between how the people in your universe actually see you, versus how you want them to see you.
From there, you'll be ready to begin crafting what I call your Perfect Message - the "you" that you want the world to see and respond to. That's where the real fun starts. I've taken the very best, most effective communication techniques from my 30 books, top rated seminars, and personal coaching sessions with some of the world's most successful CEOs, and combined them into a simple, straightforward, totally practical and instantly applicable system I lay out for you in step-by-step detail in Communication Mastery.
Communication Mastery is going to equip you with a massive communication arsenal - tools, tactics, secrets, and strategies that you are going to be able to use to cascade your Perfect Message out in virtually every situation in your life: at work, at home, on the phone, on the Web, out and about, everywhere you come into contact with other people and need them to help you achieve your goals.
In these 8 sessions I'm going to personally coach you, just as I've coached top-level CEOs from the best organizations in the world. You're going to discover:
The elements that make up your unique "communication universe." Who are you communicating with every day, how are you doing it, and what are the outcomes? You don't have the whole picture now, but you will once you take my Communication Universe Assessment. The critical first step on your path to the Perfect Message, and a fascinating eye-opener. Prepare to be shocked by all the ways you communicate in just a single day (and by how some of those communications have been received, without your ever realizing it!).
How to perfect your personal brand. I say "perfect," not "create," because you've already got a brand out there. What? I'm not a business! I don't have a brand. Wrong! But don't worry - I'll show you how to get on top of it and pull it together into something consistent, compelling, and incredibly impactful.
How to use voice mail as the time-saving, life-changing tool that it is. Stop just leaving messages, and start using my simple techniques to actually get things done through voice mail. Maybe THE single biggest time saver in the whole arsenal. It will absolutely change your day. My private clients' #1 favorite technique. They're just crazy for it. One after another, they say that nothing has had as major an impact on their communications. Grab a cocktail napkin and 10 spare minutes, and find out what all the fuss is about.
The one little thing you must take with you to every meeting. You're not doing it now, and it's costing you big time.
How to be incredibly, irresistibly persuasive. Getting the people in your life to do what you want them to do is really quite easy. I'll tell you how to win over every "audience," every time. Works equally well for groups of 1,000 and an audience of one.
What to do at the beginning, middle, and end of every phone conversation and what to do the minute you hang up.
Want to immediately and exponentially accelerate your success? This one strategy is the way to do it.
A tactic to deal with Q&A sessions that you've never seen before. It works like a charm and keeps YOU in control of the conversation, no matter what.
How to avoid bombing in any communication situation. There are four ways to bomb - they're really easy and really common. I'll tell you what these communication-killers are so that you can make sure they never make a victim out of you.
How to cut meeting times in half, even eliminate the need for them altogether. But when you do meet, you'll get more accomplished than you ever thought possible. If you're "meeting-ed" to death, you need to implement this strategy ASAP.
How to make people really listen to what you're saying and really care about it. There's a very simple secret to doing it Why "winging it" is never a good idea. As a matter of fact, it's a myth. Anyone you've seen or heard deliver an amazing "off the cuff" message is actually a Level 3 communicator who has mastered the art of planned spontaneity. By the end of Communication Mastery, you'll be there too. I guarantee it.
How to establish instant credibility and authority. The people you're communicating with need to identify you as a credible authority before they'll buy what you're saying. Use my technique, and they'll feel as if they've known and trusted you for years, even if they've never met you before in their lives!
The first thing Communication Masters do when they wake up in the morning. This will make a huge difference in what happens to you during the rest of your day.
How to convince 93 percent of your customers, co-workers, family, and friends. One single word will do it, and I'll tell you what that word is.
10 things you can do to take your emails to a whole new level. Think you've got a lot of email now? It's only going to get worse as time goes on. If you want the emails you send to get read, be correctly interpreted, and be quickly acted on, you've GOT to start doing these 10 things. Added bonus: People will actually enjoy getting messages from you!
How to get anyone to "buy in" to your message. From getting your spouse to agree to vacation plans you know he or she is not keen on, to getting your department to get on board with a new venture that's going to take a lot of extra work, I'll give you 12 tactics that are guaranteed to get you a big happy yes from everyone, every time.
And a whole lot more!
And remember - everything you're going to hear, discover, and learn in Communication Mastery has been utilized with phenomenal results by some of the wealthiest, most successful individuals and corporations in the world. They've paid me thousands for this very same information! I'm giving it to you for just a tiny fraction of that.
To make all of this information have an even deeper and more lasting impact, I've also included a jam-packed workbook along with the audio program. The Communication Mastery workbook contains lots of quizzes, checklists, questions, and exercises. The workbook is the place where it's all going to come together for you. You'll have your whole Communication Universe right there in front of your eyes. You'll be able to see where you started out, where you want to go, and exactly how to get there. Within minutes of listening to this audio program, you are going to be on your way to identifying and honing your own unique Perfect Message. And once you do that, everything else in your life will just fall into place. Communicating masterfully will become unconscious and automatic for you. It will simply be who you are - all the time, in every situation.
Define your Perfect Message and put it to work for you - I've done my best to show you why and how being a masterful communicator is going to make your life infinitely easier, happier, and just plain better. But what I really want is for you to experience the value of my techniques for yourself. I want you to see what an amazing difference having a Perfect Message will make in each and every area of your life, each and every day.
Sincerely,
Tony Jeary - Author, speaker, and creator of Communication Mastery
P.S. My goal with each and every person and corporation I work with is to move them into the third level of communication - the mastery level - not in a matter of weeks or days, but within hours. And that's the exact promise I make to you in Communication Mastery. Within minutes of listening to this audio program, you are going to be on your way to identifying, crafting, and honing your own Perfect Message - the "you" you want the world to see and respond to. And I promise, you will be AMAZED by the changes you experience as a result.
P.P.S. Once you receive the program and get a look at the sessions, you might be tempted to jump ahead and start somewhere in the middle. Go for it! I've structured Communication Mastery so that no matter how you proceed through it, you'll be able to crystallize and leverage your Perfect Message as rapidly as possible.

Internet marketing = cult? by Kim Rubleski
Mind Capture Group Announcement
Internet marketing = cult?
In the foreword to a new book, Mark Joyner points out that the internet marketing crowd may, on the surface, share some common features with a cult:
"A unique language understood only by those in the cult, 'guru' figures of whom many blindly follow, and bizarre rites and rituals."
Let's see.
- Unique language: squeeze pages, optin rate, conversion rate, PPC, CPM, CPA
- Guru figures: enough said!
- Bizarre rites and rituals: launching new websites at the drop of a hat, constantly searching for better tools (which spring up every day), working at all hours of the day or night.
While Joyner's comparison may in some sense be accurate, there's another word that better describes this collection of eclectic individuals we know as 'internet marketers'.
Family.
Skeptical?
Think about it: in what other business arena do the major players:
- Freely share their biggest secrets?
- Promote each others products and services?
- Sell to each other, and to each other¹s customers?
I can't think of any other business endeavor where successful business owners are so open and transparent with their colleagues and potential competitors (newbies).
And Joel Comm has now taken this transparency to a whole new level.
You may know Joel as the guy who figured out how to make Google's Adsense a money-pumping hands-free oil well and then turned around and wrote a book about what he learned.
In the New York Times Best Seller The Adsense Code, he pulled back the curtain so others can duplicate what he did.
Joel¹s new book the one with the foreword by Mark Joyner'documents the history of the internet marketing "family"
Click Here to Order: Stories of the World's Most Successful Internet Marketing Entrepreneurs is the most complete background of Internet marketing that exists today.
Joel retells story after story of dozens of today's internet marketers: how they got started and the paths they took to become successful.
Once you finish reading this book, you will never look at Internet Marketing in the same way. Not only do you get an inside look at marketers including:
- Marlon Sanders
- John Carlton
- Michel Fortin
- Willie Crawford
- Armand Morin
Plus many others, often in their own words.
You also get the little 'nuggets' of practical and strategic wisdom that Joel has deftly included too.
So the book is part family history, part marketing education, and part inspiration.
You might already be part of the family, if you:
- Know what a squeeze page is
- Spend time obsessing over your 'opt-in rate'
- Check your Clickbank or Paypal account twenty times a day
- Continually search for better-performing keywords
- Hang out with your online friends more than with your ³offline² buddies
Then congratulations! You are already a member of the ³family².
