The Benefits Of Moving Along The Road To Success
Continually creating and using empowering messages such as, "I Can and I Will succeed," "I Can and I Will produce healthy, harmonious beliefs and behaviors" will make you realize that you actively choose your own alternatives in life. When you become more self-determined, accepting and more responsible, you experience the freedom to choose alternatives that will move you forward in overcoming self-defeating behaviors that prevent you from the success you aspire. Empowering messages create the inner strength and determination to remove self-sabotaging thoughts and beliefs from consciousness.
Believe in destiny, and believe that your decisions spring from your inner depths, your "will" to succeed. You determine your destiny just as you create the path that brings you toward self fulfillment. Trusting yourself to make the decision to overcome your self-defeating behaviors is a courageous event. It demands that you take personal responsibility for yourself. Becoming self-responsible assists you in overcoming your resistance to growth. Move forward on your path to success. Use the knowledge from your past experiences to make a conscious decision to change your behavior and communication. Begin to explore the core of your inner self. Decide to take positive action and overcome resistance and obstacles to growth.
Now you have the best of both worlds. Believing that you have the power and option to move forward in overcoming your self-defeating behaviors will give you the freedom to choose your own destiny. Making decisions based on empowering messages from within yourself prevents you from driving the wrong way down a one-way street, or reaching a dead-end in a personal or professional relationship.
To live in a way that is deeply satisfying for you is to begin your journey into the “self”. Your personal journey into selfhood is called individuation, a process whereby you establish your identity as a self-determining person. Your self-determination empowers and enables you to overcome resistance. Self-determining individuals use their inner strengths and resources to create healthy beliefs, behaviors, and emotions to experience life's abundance.
When you're self-confident, you accept yourself, and others, unconditionally. Your self confidence and self-determination assist you in finding the right mental and emotional balance to create truly productive and successful relationships. These precious resources help you overcome resistance to growth to ensure your development of positive self-esteem.
As you move along your road to success you're more fully able to respect and trust yourself, becoming more responsible for your decisions and your life. Becoming aware of, and sensitive to, your inner feelings, and the feelings of others, is a movement toward personal fulfillment and maturity. When you understand that maturity is accepting others for who they are, and accepting yourself for who you are, you're able to overcome resistances to growth.
Begin now and develop your attitude of complete acceptance. This new awareness of unconditional acceptance facilitates a dynamic process through which we awaken and affirm ourselves, giving new meaning to our relationships with others.

The Basics Of Formula One Racing
The Basics Of Formula One Racing
Formula One racing is a weekend event with two practice sessions on Friday, a practice session and qualifying on Saturday, and the race on Sunday. The practice sessions are used for drivers to familiarize themselves with the track and for the crew to make any necessary adjustments to the car. The qualifying is used to determine the way the cars will start in the race.
Formula One qualifying works a little differently that some people would think. Qualifying is broken down into three segments with 7-minute breaks in between. In the first segment, all 22 cars run the qualifying lap. The slowest 6 cars are placed in the 17-22 staring positions. In the second segment, the remaining 16 cars run the qualifying lap. The slowest 6 cars are placed in the 11-16 starting positions. In the final segment, the final 10 cars are racing to be on the pole position, the position that puts the fastest car on the track in the number one starting position. In short, to be in the pole position for a Formula One race you first must be 16th or faster, then 10th of faster, and in the final session, you must be the fastest car on the track.
Thirty minutes prior to race time on Sunday afternoon, the drivers are able to make as many warm up laps that they choose during this thirty minute period. The general rule for the length of the races is set but the smallest number of complete laps over 305km, though there are a few exceptions. Once five sets of lights go green and the set of red lights go off the race begins. With the cars averaging 2 kilometers per liter of fuel, they make many pit stops curing a race. During these pit stops, they will also get fresh tires and the crew can make minor adjustments to the car as needed. The timing and placement of pit stops can be crucial to a Formula Once racecar driver. At the end of the race the First, Second, and Third place drivers are put on a podium and the National Anthem of the winner home country is played. A post race press conference follows.
The current points system that was put into place in 2003 allows points for the top 8 spots. The winner receives 10 points, second place 8 points, third place 6 points, fourth place 5 points, fifth place 4 points, six place 3 points, seventh place 2 points, and eighth place 1 point. The driver that earns the most points in a season earns the spot of the World Champion. The number of Formula One races in a season varies but generally falls somewhere around 18 a year. The season for Formula One racing is 8 months long and runs from the beginning of March to the middle or end of October depending on the number of races.
There is much more to learn about Formula Once racing. This was just a little bit of background of the race weekend, pit stops, points system, and the racing season.

Ten Sources Of Income In Professional Speaking
Ten Sources Of Income In Professional Speaking
One of the best features of having a career in professional speaking is that you can benefit from multiple streams of income. You don't only have to rely on your paid public speaking career to bring in the cash. You can sell other products and services. You can work other areas that require using professional speakers. The key is to leverage your skills and talent to produce an ongoing stream of income that can withstand the drought seasons in your public speaking career.
1. Sell your knowledge via books and articles. You can self-publish for maximum profit or you can seek out a publisher and get paid royalties. Your articles can be highly sought after by trade publications especially if you are a well-noted person in the industry.
2. Sell your knowledge via a training system package. Create a training system using CDs, DVDs, a training manual and any other parts that you'll need. Package the system and sell it for a profit.
3. Get sponsored by a company. Get other companies to sponsor your speaking fee for being mentioned in your presentation. Sort of like advertising, this partnerships has ongoing, long-term benefits for every speaker that makes use of them.
4. Get paid as a speaker. As simplistic as this sounds, at some point in your career, you've got to get out and make an attempt to get higher paying gigs. Don't lose the "free" aspect of your career because they do go a long way. The more famous you get, doing good Samaritan efforts such as speaking for free make great news items for press releases.
5. Get paid as a speaker through speaker bureaus. Speaker bureaus help to connect speaker with meeting planners. Get listed with these bureaus to help promote your professional speaking career.
6. Get paid for the use of your "voice". Do voice overs or recorded speeches or advertisements as a source of income.
7. Get paid for telephone seminars. Many people are doing live webinars or telephone seminars in their businesses. Make contacts with people in the businesses that do them. It's the same thing as doing a speech except that it's on the telephone.
8. Get paid by creating a paying podcast. Podcasting is a new form of media that is quickly gaining popularity. Podcasting is like hosting your own speech online in an MP3 file so your audience can listen over and over again.
9. Work for training companies. Companies like Fred Pryor can be great interim sources of income that help you gain confidence as a speaker.
10. Get paid via your website. Add complementary affiliate programs as well as Google AdSense to your website or blog.
All of these sources of income represent ways to spread the word about your professional marketing career. Additionally, they also can represent ways that bring in income when your career isn't where you want it to be. You can start adding these sources one by one to your revenue stream. You'll see first hand the benefits that each one has as well as what works for your business and what doesn't.

Free Videos on how to do ebay biz
Hi Niches4u readers,
Sorry, but I need to RANT for a minute, so bear with me...
I just received another one of those so-called "free" report offers in my email. Something about multiplying my income... blowing away my competition... yadda yadda...
So like a fool, I go check out the report, and it's nothing but a barely concealed sales pitch for some lame new product that I'm not even interested in!
Worst thing?
There wasn't one *bit* of USEFUL information in the report at all!
I mean, give me a break! How many more of these lame "free" offers are we going to have to put up with? It's like everybody and his or her dog is putting out this useless garbage.
The industry is FLOODED with them!
Trust me: this is NOT how you do FREE (unless, of course, your goal is to anger or alienate your customers and subscribers, and KILL your chances of developing a strong relationship with them).
And here's the thing... if these jokers understood how to REALLY do free, their customers and subscribers would see them as heroes, rather than dummies.
Case in point?
Derek Gehl recently released a set of FREE videos that provide a TON of value, with real, step-by-step information that ANYONE can follow to make SERIOUS profits on the Internet (potentially thousands of dollars a MONTH), even if you don't have website!
These videos are about getting started on eBay, and they're FULL of tested and proven strategies for getting wealthy on eBay that he and his in-house team of elite mentors spent MONTHS pulling together.
I watched them, and was really impressed by their content.
In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they're revealing profit secrets in these videos that even the top sellers on eBay don't know about!
And if you read the marketing blogs, you'll see that people are LOVING them!
Everyone's raving about how USEFUL the videos are, and how grateful they are to Derek for giving them such a great head-start to making a solid income online.
Now THAT'S how you do free!
I won't show you the example of the CRUMMY free offer (to protect the guilty), but I *will* show you Derek's videos. They're worth taking a look at:

Enjoy!

Ever wonder what "noni juice" is ?
Noni Juice was no.1 best seller UK & USA for Hwize
Are You Wondering What Is Noni Juice?
If you are walking up and down the aisles of a supermarket you will probably come across a number of different bottles and cartons of fruit juice. If you browse these aisles closely you will notice common staples such as orange juice, apple juice, cranberry juice, etc. Then, you may even notice a popular drink known as noni juice.
Since this is not a type of juice most people are familiar you may find yourself wondering what is noni juice? Well, on a baseline level…it is POPULAR! Yes, many people have become turned on the noni juice as they have discovered the benefits of this juice – a juice that has long since been popular in the Pacific Islands.
Basic Explained
So exactly what is noni juice? This is a juice extracted from the noni fruit which is a particular type of fruit that grows in the Pacific Islands. The noni fruit has remained a wildly popular type of fruit among the people of the Pacific Islands for many centuries. While the fruit is common in Polynesia and, in particular, the Cook Islands, the fruit has also been grown and harvested in China and India where the seeds to the noni plant were exported many hundreds of years ago.
Wherever noni fruit is found it is happily ingested by the health conscious. The reason for this is that the noni fruit is often considered a highly nutritious fruit in terms of the solid health benefits that it can provide people's bodies.
So, the answer to what is noni juice could also be "a form of alternative medicine" as it provides nutrients and vitamins that can provide great benefit to one's health. Of course, this is all meant within reason. The answer to what is noni juice is most definitely not "a miracle cure for all one's ills."
Facts And Fallacy
There are those who remain skeptical to alternative medicine and other types of health enhancements of the natural world. Those who may be wondering what is noni juice may also be wondering if the health benefits of the drink are legitimate. It is safe to say that the health benefits associated with such a fine natural juice are legitimate, but noni juice will not provide any miracle cures to any ailments regardless of what ancient folklore states. Remember, much ancient folklore is rooted in half parts reality and half parts on a lack of scientific knowledge.

15 Reasons to Become an Affiliate Marketer

15 Reasons to Become an Affiliate Marketer
- by Rosalind Gardner
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
There are HUGE benefits to promoting affiliate programs
with your own home-based Internet business, and I've come
up with a list of 15 great reasons to become an affiliate
marketer.
Let's look at each reason separately:
1. No Production Costs - The cost to develop and produce a
new product is prohibitive for almost anyone who wants to
start a home-based business. With affiliate programs,
production costs aren't an issue. The product has been
developed and proven - all on the merchant's nickel.
2. Low Cost Set-up - Compared with building a brick and
mortar store, starting a home-based Internet business is
relatively cheap. You probably already have a desk,
Internet-connected computer and word-processing software,
which is all the equipment you may need.
3. No Fees for Joining or Licenses to Buy - I often
compare doing business as an affiliate, with distributing a
line of products in the real world. The biggest difference
is that the distributor must often pay for a license to
distribute products within a limited geographic region.
Affiliate programs, on the other hand, are usually free to
join, and geographic market reach is limited only by the
affiliate's ability to promote his web site.
4. Choose From Thousands of Products and Services - What
isn't sold online? That list must be shorter than the one
describing all that IS sold online. There are thousands and
thousands of affiliate programs selling every product under
the sun. That makes it easy to find products related to
your current or planned web site.
5. No Sales Experience Needed - When I started my affiliate
business, I had absolutely no sales experience. That wasn't
a problem, however. The companies I affiliated with
provided excellent marketing material. Using their sales
copy, I was able to get my first affiliate site up in less
than a day.
6. No Employees - The largest expense of most businesses is
employee salaries. Although there might be times when you
need or want someone to work for you as an affiliate, it's
doubtful you'll ever have to worry about hiring full or
part-time employees. When you have a project you want to
hire out, it is easy to find specialists in every computer-
related field who can work for you from the comfort of
THEIR own homes. You pay only for the project, and never
have to worry about ongoing employee-related benefits and
deductions.
7. No Expensive Merchant Accounts Needed - Setting up a
merchant account for any business is a time-consuming and
costly business. It's even more tedious for Internet
businesses. However, merchant accounts aren't a concern
when you're an affiliate. The merchant bears that cost and
handles all processing of payments. You never have to lose
sleep over potential chargebacks, fraud or losing your
merchant account when you're an affiliate.
8. No Inventory to Carry - Even if you live in a small one-
bedroom apartment, as an affiliate you can sell large items
without storage concerns.
9. No Order-Processing - Forget the problems associated
with collecting and storing names, addresses, credit card
numbers, etc. The merchant does all that!
10. No Product Shipping - The cost and hassle to prepare
and ship products to customers worldwide could be
staggering. Affiliates never have to worry about packaging
supplies or postal rates.
11. No Customer Service Concerns - Do you hate the prospect
of dealing with nasty people or customer complaints? Don't
worry about it! The merchant handles the snivelers.
12. Make Money While You Sleep - What other business allows
you as a sole proprietor to keep your doors open and keep
making money even when you take breaks or after you go home
for the night?
13. The World at Your Doorstep - The Internet is the
world's largest marketplace. You can drive more visitors to
your online store in a day, than many small-town merchants
sees in his or her brick and mortar business in a year.
14. Minimal Risk - The product you chose isn't making
money? Dump it. Take down your links and promote another!
It's that easy. There are no long-term contracts binding
you to products that don't sell.
15. High Income Potential - If you have a job, your salary
or hourly wage is probably pre-determined. Maybe there's
not much, other than working overtime, that you can do to
increase your income. With your own affiliate business on
the Internet your income potential is limited only by your
desire, effort and imagination.
There you have them - all the good reasons to start your
own online affiliate marketing business. Start today and
benefit from this incredibly simple, cost-effective
business opportunity known as affiliate marketing. The time
is right, and the time is now.

What Highly Targeted Visitors Can Do
For Your Business
-By Jim Edwards, John Rooney, and David Nevogt

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Today's online marketplace is changing as we speak. The
"good old days" of placing a Simple advertisement on Google
or Yahoo and getting highly targeted visitors to your site
for a dime are ending.
The reality is that the internet, and especially the large
flagship sites, have become a huge portal for people
searching for free content - "lookers".
That's right - "lookers". People that will never buy your
product. Regardless of what kind of value you throw at them.
Know this - "lookers" can kill your business! Why would
you throw a large chunk of your advertising budget into a
channel that prides itself on everything being "Free". It
doesn't make any sense.
Why "lookers" exist, and what you can do about it.
"Lookers" exist, quite simply, because they have caught
onto the fact that unless you are offering to deliver a
product to their doorstep, they really don't have to pay
for the information you provide.
Why do they feel this way? Because if you don't give them
the information they are looking for, someone else will!
That is a fact of increasing competition, and of selling
information products on the internet. The hard truth is
that, it's only going to get worse. Sure these lookers,
may sign up for your newsletter. Why not, it's FREE.
But when it really comes down to selling your product, you
really have to do one of two things.
1. Completely Stand out from the crowd. You have to
offer a product so niched, and so different that the
prospect can't get the information anywhere else. Leave
them no choice but to purchase from you if they want the
information.
2. Realign your advertising budget to reach the people
the WILL buy your product or service.
Where do these prospects reside?
Where else? They reside on existing niched sites, and
here's your opportunity to make the really big bucks.
Just think about this for a minute. Imagine that you are
selling a book on how to coach little league baseball.
Where are your better prospects going to reside?
Option 1: Google and Yahoo - No way! Everyone and their
mother is posting their opinions on these sites about how
to coach little league baseball. Free content all over the
place.
Option 2: A Niched site such as
http://www.littleleague.org/ - Of course you have better
prospects on this site to buy your book. First, you are
riding on the reputation of probably the biggest little
league site on the internet. Plus, you've surrounded your
product with people that are most likely coaches, players,
or parents that want to be coaches.
The simple solution is to start advertising your product
on niched sites such as the above example. More likely than
not, it's not going to cost much more, but your overall
site profitability is going to soar.

Make Money By Creating Private Label Products
Make Money By Creating Private Label Products
Each day, a large number of individuals search for products rights that are for sale. Those individuals are looking for a product that they can resell to make money. Private label resell rights are a “hot” business opportunity right now. This is because they allow others to make money selling a product that they didn’t even create.
A lot of focus is put on the reselling of private label products, but what slips the mind of many individuals is how those products are created. The reality is that these products are created by real people, someone like you. What does this mean for you? This means that if you have a special talent or skill, you could capitalize on that talent, especially if you have experience as a freelance writer or a freelance software developer.
If you are interested in making money, by creating private label products, you will need to create a product that will sell. To find this product, you may need to do a little bit of research. The goal of your research should be to find a niche that people are in need of. You can easily do this by using the internet to your advantage. A large number of individuals and companies advertise or ask about a particular product or product line. If you are able to create what they are looking for, you can be well on your way to making money.
Once you have created a product that is in demand, whether that product be a collection of articles, an e-book, or a software program, you will want to advertise that the resell rights for that product are for sale. Most individuals do that by creating a webpage. Your webpage could be simple or elaborate; however you want it to be. After time, prospective buyers will flock to your website wanting to purchase the resell rights to your product. Before you can sell the resell rights, you will need to be prepared to answer a few questions from prospective buyers. These questions may range from the price of your resell rights to information on the product that you have.
Before you place the resell rights to your product for sale, there are a number of important things that you may want to take into consideration. There are many private label product creators that require their buyers to sign a contract or at least acknowledge an agreement. Some of these contracts and agreements limit the ways that the product can be altered, advertised, or how much it can sell for. While there are benefits to creating a user agreement, one is not required. You will need to decide, ahead of time, whether or not you will have these restrictions.
One of the most common questioned asked, concerning the creation of private label products is why not just sell them yourself? Of course, you can market and sell your own product if you want to, but it may take a large amount of time and maybe even money. That is why many individuals prefer to sell the resell rights to their product. By selling the rights to your product, you are able to profit from your creation without doing any additional work.
There have been a number of different freelance writers and freelance software designers who have found success by creating products and then offering their resale rights for sale. With a little bit of hard work and determination, you could find that same success.

Business Plans: What Are They?
Business Plans: What Are They?
Are you planning on starting your own business now or in the near future? If so, have you started creating a business plan? If you have yet to do so, you are advised to get started. Regardless of which type of business you plan on starting, you will find that business plans are vital to the success of that business, often in more ways than one.
Above it was mentioned that business plans are vital to the success of starting a business. Despite being vital to the success of a business, there are still a relatively large number of individuals who have no idea what a business plan is. Are you one of those individuals? If so, you are advised to take the time to familiarize yourself with business plans, including what they are, how they are made, and what they include. Since business plans are vital to the success of starting a business, not knowing may be damaging right from the start.
When it comes to business plans you will find that they are just that, plans. Business plans outline an intended business. Business plans include a lot of different information. That information tends to include an explanation of the business in question, the services that will be offered, who will run that business, as well as how it will be run. Business plans also tend into include information on financing and marketing. Almost all business plans are created on paper, but some business plans are created in electronic format, to be sent out over the internet, and other are created in presentation form, to be presented to an audience.
In addition to knowing exactly what business plans are, you may also be wondering what they are used for. One of the most common reasons why business plans are created is to offer guidance or instructions to business owners or developers. In most cases, it is easier to develop a business plan or come up with business ideas ahead of time. Waiting until the last minute or developing a business as you go along, on impulse, can often lead to poor results. That is why you are advised to create a business plan, especially if you are starting a business for the first time. A business plan may make it easier to keep yourself and your business organized. It will also help to make to sure that you do not forget to complete important tasks.
Although a large number of potential business owners use business plans for their own needs, there are others who rely on business plans for financial assistance. When seeking financing for a business, investors and financial lenders are the ones who are approached the most. If you are looking to start a business, but you need financing to do so, you will need to approach investors or financial lenders. As you likely already know, a financial lender or an investor will not just hand over money to anyone. They will want to make sure that their money will be put to good use. They also want to know that they will be able to get their money back. That is why financial lenders and investors rely on business plans. A business plan will give them an idea as to whether or not a business will succeed or be worth investing their money in.
Now that you know exactly what business plans are and what they are used for. You may be interested in making your own. If you do not have the time to do so, you are still advised against proceeding without a plan; you do have other options. One of those other options involves relying on a professional business plan writer or developer. For a reasonable fee, you can have a professional create your business plan for you, with your assistance of course.
As previously mentioned, you are advised to create a business plan for your up and coming business venture. A business plan, no matter how professional it may be, is vital to the success of your next business venture.
