It was nice and cool up there

We were up at Whitewater, near Palm Springs Ca

Raquel loved the sound of the running water

The weather in Southern California has been extremely hot for the past week. We have had many days of around 105 Degrees.

My wife Raquel and I went to the Palm Springs area. We found a great place up in the mountains called Whitewater. The scenery was absolutely gorgeous. The temperature was about 85 degrees, with a nice breeze . There were several places that you could pull off to the side of the road, and walk right down next to the creek. I just love the sound of the running water.

We saw several large native Trout swimming through the creek. Made me wish that I had brought my fishing pole.

There are also several places that you can go hiking. Raquel is almost 6 months pregnant, so we did not venture to far off the trail.

This was a great way to escape the heat!

Leave me a comment and let me know what kinds of things you enjoy doing.

Make it a great day!

Worldwide about 1.5 billion people are using the Internet. China holds the worlds largest number of Internet users, at an estimated 300 million as of February 2009.

American homes and businesses utilizing the Internet officially reached 145 million users in early 2009. What does this mean for you, the Online Network Marketer? Massive amounts of opportunity like we have never seen before. Think about this for a moment, 72% of adults worldwide are surfing the Internet. Many of these people have recently been laid off from their job, and are searching for ways to supplement their lost income. According to the United States Bankruptcy Court, Bankruptcy could have been avoided if an additional $800 per month was brought into the family household.

So now is the perfect time to get started in the Online Marketing business. Many of you may be fearful of getting started in this industry. That is a normal feeling when you are trying something new. Just focus on your #1 goal, and that is to make your first $100. You need to have a starting point, and for now I want you to focus on achieving this goal.

If you are a new Network Marketer, I would suggest that you start off with Affiliate Marketing. This is a marketing method where you promote other people’s products, and you make a commission once you make a sale. One of the best places to start is Click-bank. They have thousands of products all in one place for you to choose. Go to Clickbank and sign-up for your account. Read the rest of this entry

Well as you guys no doubt know, to really succeed with our Internet marketing careers, we need to have great digital products that convert all of our qualified leads into real, cash-paying customers.  For many people, coming up with products will involve them creating them on their own, or it may involve them commissioning other professionals to do the hard work for them.

Chances are though, like most smart internet marketers, you probably want to save a whole lot of time and money.  After all, if you were to create your own e-book for instance, expect to spend tens of hours doing the research you need, and then writing the book itself – and that’s if you’re only semi-decent at writing.  If you’re a good writer, it will still take you hours and hours and if you’re terrible, well, forget it, because your e-book won’t sell!

Now, you certainly won’t go wrong by hiring a good writer to create a really good e-book, but think about how much a good writer is going to cost you.  Wouldn’t you rather spend that money on getting visitors to your site so you can make more money?

I’m pretty sure, like me, you’re always looking for ways to save time and money on your Internet marketing business.  I’ll easily spend hours each week just reading up on the latest Internet marketing happenings and news, in the endless search of improving the way I do business.  In my latest search, I came across a really unique website, that’s well worth you checking out if you are serious about time and money saving:

Click Here

Now the name is pretty self-explanatory.  This site was created by an Internet marketer for Internet marketers, and it’s a one-stop shop for PLR material.  E-books, reports, training videos, e-courses – you name it!

The really wonderful thing about this site though is that membership is free.  You can sign up as a VIP Member, which won’t cost you a cent, and you can download a huge amount of PLR material for free!

You can sell that material yourself as part of your own Internet marketing business, and of course, you can change any part of the product to suit your target audience.

Don’t be put off by the free part either, in terms of the quality of the material that’s on offer, because I’ve downloaded the free PLR stuff myself and it’s of a really high quality.

I’ve paid plenty of writers in my time to create digital products, and I can honestly say that the quality of this material is just as good, if not better – without me having to pay the money I would pay a writer.

In addition to the free PLR material you can download as VIP Member, you can also access heaps of great information about how to improve your Internet marketing business.

You also have the option of paying a small one-time fee to become a Full Member of the site, and that will entitle you to even more fantastic PLR products to download and sell, plus you can become an affiliate of the PLR Wholesaler website itself, and receive a great commission whenever somebody you refer signs up as a Full Member.

Regardless of whether you’re a paying member or not, you will have access to a regular e-newsletter that gets sent out, and if the testimonials are anything to go by, it’s definitely one e-newsletter that’s worth your while.

I can vouch for that too, and I am a real pro when it comes to deleting emails that bore me!

So, please do me a favor and join now – this is a site that’s definitely worth your time regardless of your level of experience in Internet marketing, so visit it now at:

I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Make it a great day!

One of the most difficult things about network marketing is trying to decide which system you will use for your Marketing needs. Almost on a daily basis you see a new launch of the newest and greatest  system that is going to make you $10,00 a week on auto-pilot. Does this sound familiar. Many new Network Marketers will try many different things, to see which one will work the best for them. In my opinion this is a mistake. You need to choose one and stick with the one that you chose. I made the mistake of trying to use different Marketing methods, without using a system to help me accomplish this.

I was blessed when I was introduced to a truly innovative marketing system. It was introduced in August of 2008. The name of the system is called MLM Lead System Pro. Some of you may have already been introduced to this system, but I can assure you it is worth a second look.

It is a statistical fact that 95% of people will say no to your primary business opportunity. So that means only 5% will opt-in to your primary program. What about those 95%? What happens with them ? Well if you are not using a system like MLM Lead System Pro, you have just left all the money on the table for someone else.

When you use MLM Lead sytem Pro, it is designed to monetize those 95% of the poeple that would have gone somewhere else. There is currently 18 affiliate programs set-up within the system. So not only are you trying to market your primary business oppportunity, you are also Marketing 18 Affiliate programs at the same time.

I know that you have many different options when it comes to choosing which system you will use. I am just asking that you give this a try. There is an option that you can test drive the system for a 14 day trial period for $1. You will have complete access to all of the training videos and webinars that have been conducted  for the past 13 months.

If you are serious about taking your business to the next level, you need to implement this program. Please click here!
I wish you success

I have always enjoyed fishing since I was a little kid. I would ride my bike up to a lake that was close to my house when I was about 8 years old. I would stay there until I actually caught fish. I was very dedicated.

I was introduced to Sport Fishing when I was in my 20′s. I was immediately hooked. We have some of the best fishing out here in southern California.  There are many different options when you book trips like these. You have a choice on how many days you would like to go for. I like to do the 1 1/2 day trips. These trips usually leave from the San Diego area, and then head off to fish the coast of Mexico.

These pictures were taken on one of my trips with my best friend John Bell in May of 2007. This was one of my best trips of Tuna fishing. We caught mostly Yellow-fin and Albacore . The weather was absolutely perfect. This is a trip that I will always remember.

This is how I like to spend my off time away from work!

Hope you enjoy them!

I think Self-Confidence is one of the most important traits you can have to be successful in business and in your personal life. Self Confidence is simply a belief on one’s own abilities. The only way you are going to have any kind of success is you have to have Self-Confidence. So what are the ways that YOU can start building your Self-Confidence?  I am going to list 6 different ways to IMMEDIATELY help boost your Confidence:

1. Focus On Your Strengths, Not your Weakness

When you start to look at your strengths and not your weaknesses you will begin the internal change in your mind. This is a necessary step to start building your Confidence.

2. Surround Yourself With Positive People

I am sure that most of us have had some friends that have a very negative outlook on life. Have you noticed that the more that you are around them, the more they start to change the way you are thinking. You could be having the greatest day, and the minute you start talking with them everything changes. They bring you down.

When I surround myself with people that think positive, my whole way of thinking is different. They make me look at life in a whole different way. This is a very important step

3. Don’t Be Afraid To Take Risks

You can’t be afraid to take some risks. This was a very difficult thing for me to grasp. I was so nervous about failing, that I would not take any kind of risk. Once I started to go out of my comfort zone and try new things, many new doors opened up for me.

4. Exercise Your Mind And Your Body

You really need to incorporate some kind of physical exercise into your daily routine. Whether it be just going out for a walk, or doing a full work-out routine. I have found that even a 30 minute routine on a treadmill can do wonders for the way you feel about yourself.

When I say Exercising your mind, I mean to read some great motivational books. You can also listen to some great audio books while driving in your car. This is a great way to start your day. Some of my favorite authors are Anthony Robbins, Robert Kiyosaki, and Donald Trump.

5. Set Daily Goals

What I like to do is set short goals for me to achieve on a daily basis. This is a huge Confidence booster when you start to achieve your goals. It is very important to start off with daily goals. I like to write them down a yellow post-it and place it right next to my computer. Looking at them is a constant reminder of what I need to accomplish for that day!

6. Believe In Yourself

I saved this one for last. This is truly the most important thing you need to have to be more Self-Confident. If you don’t believe in yourself, then who is going to believe anything you are saying . The mind is one of the most powerful things in our body. Look in the mirror and start talking to yourself. I know this may be difficult at first, but trust me this is a great exercise. Are you speaking in a loud voice? Are you looking yourself in the eyes when you are speaking? Are you holding your shoulders up high? If you are doing all of those things when you are speaking to yourself, Congratulations, you are on your way to being more Self-Confident.

I hope that these few things that I have shared with you, have some impact on your life. I know that by applying these 6 principles for me personally has been life changing.

Make it a great day!
