In case you haven’t seen this yet - Yanik Silver is going all out to ethically ‘bribe’ you.

What’s the bribe?

First, he’s giving away a special, $15k closed-door presentation entitled “Instant Leverage Points in Your Business That Bring You Surges of Cash”.

It’s all about little tweaks and ‘hacks’ that immediately ramp up the bottom line with a few quick fixes. And the best part is once they are set-up - they keep paying you
over and over again. (Or, if you don’t have a business already - this was a blueprint for wringing the most revenue out of one when you do start it.)

He presented this information last January to 26 top-gun entrepreneurs and business leaders paid about $15k in membership fees and trip fees to come together in Baja,
Mexico.

The group ranged from one-man Internet superstars raking in multiple 7-figures in their flip flops to $900M International Resort developers and $100M Manufacturing
conglomerates.

Originally, Yanik figured he’d sell the DVD of this presentation for several hundred dollars but decided instead to make it irresistible for people to try his new print newsletter called “Maverick Business Insider”. (It’s pretty different than anything else out there because it covers how to make more, have more fun and give more back!)

Now, he’s bundled up this DVD, the MindMap he handed out, his newest book called “34 Rules for Maverick Entrepreneurs”, a 2 CD-Audio program and more - the only
thing you pay for is s/h.

That’s it.

Yes it’s a totally no-brainer but there’s one little ‘catch’ and 2 qualifications on your part to get in on this ‘ethical bribe’.

Check it all out and get the full story:

Maverick Business Insider

Side note: They had to put the entire site on ‘pause’ because of big-time technical gremlins last Thursday. Now the good news is because of the snafus - he’s going to
extend all the FAST-ACTION bonuses *way* beyond what they originally intended. (Fact is, they would have got snapped up in a few minutes during the intended Thursday
release but now it’s available until Monday at 3 PM, ET.)

Really - this means an even better deal for you so it’s probably a good thing they had these delays.

P.S. If you want more profits, passion and purpose in your life - this package will show you how to get there… Yes, really.

Enjoy your materials and make sure you USE it k?

I stumbled upon this from MindValley. And I liked it.

Short and sweet… Check it out:

I received an email today, random stuff really. But just as if the universe wanted to tell me something, the lesson I learned in the past three weeks hit me hard. And here I use the main ideas from the email and elaborate them a bit further…

You might already have heard about the fact that extraordinary results come from doing something different… from challenging the status quo and shaking things up. So for quite a while now I have been trying to figure out what that really means… what does get me on a path to innovation, extraordinary progress and extreme success? Here are five things that I stumpled upon over and over again

1) Uniqueness

The ultra successful companies and people are aware of their difference. In fact they even use it to their full advantage. As long as I tried to please most people it did not only hurt myself, it also made me look beige. I am different - so what?! Being afraid that by being polar will alienate your friends, family or market is like killing your most valuable sales point. Only if you are true to yourself you start attracting the most specific group of people around you. The kind of people that make each other feel comfortable and focus their power on the facts and energy that can move mountains.

I don’t want a one size fits all, “canned” solution. I don’t want to be surrounded by people who want that. “Meike, you are annoying sometimes”, someone told me. “I know.” I answered. Maybe this is also because I am never to afraid to

2) Ask Better Questions

Many people think that super successful people have all the answers. Maybe - but they didn’t get them from just divine intervention or from guessing. They get the answers from asking better questions.

Finding what to do takes asking hard questions to yourself, your friends, your co-workers, boss, peers and family. I read that average people tend to shy away from asking the tough questions because they are afraid of the answers they might get. I was compared to not going to the doctor because being nervous about what he might find out. Most successful people face new challenges head-on, ask the tough questions and tackle them regardless of the answers. If that makes me annoying - that’s good…

3) Take Risk

Risk tolerance is a success trait that is hard to ignore. You know about the saying: “no risk - no fun”. That makes so much sense… Who takes great risk can loose a lot… can also win a lot. Now don’t go overboard with risk. Hedge your bets with high quality information and research. Put the work and time necessary to plan for and research the viability of a risky decision. This way, risk becomes calculated and you won’t loose it all…

And in case you don’t win (simply because life isn’t a wishing list) you might understand that with every failure comes a learning experience. Make it a lesson leaned experience and gain extremely valuable information from you mistakes and failures. Do so by analyzing the situations and extract as many lessons as possible from the disaster. Then synthesize this information and create better plans for going forward. The super successful people don’t wallow in the misery of their failures and stick their head in the sand to hide. They pick themselves back up and move ahead again. This time armed with new information.

4) Fight

… as if you were right. But listen as if you were wrong. Most average people try to avoid confrontation at all costs. They hate to cause trouble, make a scene or have to get in someone’s face. This happens even to the point of missing out on something they are entitled to, paid for or are owed just so they don’t have to confront the situation. They’re happier practicing avoidance than strength. The overachievers on the other hand don’t follow that thinking. They make it a point to engage in battle to get what they want, deserve or are passionate about.

The successful people are not afraid to hurt some feelings and be open, honest and blunt about what they think, want or need from anyone. They are willing to fight for what they believe in, their passion and their ideas. This is a leadership quality that allows them to achieve more, accomplish more and have others working for them and with them to accomplish everything they need to give achieve high degree of success and happiness in life.

Truth been told: that all reads very easy but is hard to actually turn into action. It is true though. Think about it. A few weeks ago Khailee sent me an article about practicing brutally honesty. And I can tell you: it feels darn good…

5) Leverage Time

We all have the same amount of time in a day. Some people just do more with it than others. I am not talking about the g-t-d tricks or force of being extra efficient 24/7. I believe that just doesn’t feel natural to everybody. The “Trumps” of the world know the value of time and how to leverage it to get more accomplished. The average person thinks about time as a renewable resource not a precious raw material to

success.

So the next time, why don’t you leverage time and stop trading it for dollars? Stop buying into a tit for tat mentality when it comes to the exchanging of time for money. Instead create systems that you build one time that work for you for eternity. Do it like the super successful and seek out and get involved with opportunities that are scaleable and deliver returns for long periods of time. Action and ideas are the currency of the rich.

So the next time everybody jumps off the bridge… at least think twice before you jump, too.

Geez.

So in about a day’s time I’ll officially be thirty.

Who would’ve thought?

Never in a million years… *sigh* As depressing as it may sound… I guess age-ing is something we HAVE to deal with, like it or not…

I guess it’s also customary to do the standard “reflection time” when one reaches this “dreaded” number.

So…

10 years has practically flew by without realizing it. It wasn’t the easiest of times. Thinking back, I don’t know how I got through it, but I was really glad I did.

Of course good times, got bad times, got funny times, whatever also got. Proudest moments: Fell down, got up, failed again, got up, lose money, got up, failed again, again and again, got up, then “fortunately” got it “right” (phew)… all in a span of 10 years.

Seriously not easy one k.

As one matures, I have learnt to accept that it’s not a “crime” for us to screw up. No point in beating oneself up over spilt milk. Sure it sucks sometimes, its like “How could I be so stupid! Aiyo yo… bodoh-nya!!”

We’ve all been through that, haven’t we?

Of course, screwing up can never be easy on the soul sometimes, but after going through the highs and the lows, the ups and downs in the past , I now know and have openly accepted the fact that it’s actually pretty NORMAL for us to make mistakes, screw up, learn, screw up, learn, screw up, learn. (no one’s perfect, right?)

What else can you do?? Turning back the clock is out of the question, so the next best possible option is to move forward.

This year, “balance” was added to the vocabulary.

Not easy to master “balance” (waaaay harder than I ever thought, I’m still learning and hopefully in the coming year, I’ll get this skill “down” as well

That being said, everything starts afresh, an old chapter will be closed, fresh new ones will be opened.. it’s about moving on and DOING things “right” from now on.

On a lighter note: Next year’s gonna be an exciting year! Plans have been laid out, and it all boils down to November 7th, 2008.

A freakin’ monumental day it is.

If things go well enough, business will FLY.

If not, then I also don’t know what will happen haha.

Plan B doesn’t look so “motivating” for the moment.

So what this means is: We WILL make it happen… WHATEVER THE COST!

Gears will be shift to overdrive Nov 7th onwards… and for the whole of 2009… no more messing around, “risk” will take on a WHOLE new meaning next year… “balls” of steel will be tested like it’s never been “tested” before… creative-ness, business growth “skills” and strength will take center stage… it’s scary just thinking about it now… phew… I can only hope everything will work out the way we “envisioned” it to be.

I really, REALLY hope so.

So dear God, one more time… blessed this road we travel.
