Dear Subscriber,

Welcome to the June 30th, 2008 edition of my newsletter.

Wow, what a weekend!  My husband, the kids and I went to an RV dealer just to see what was available for campers/travel trailers.  We weren't ready to buy - but let me tell you, I have NEVER felt more pressured to BUY, BUY, BUY right then.  They are seriously desperate to sell their stock.  We were really close to being pressured to purchase- or at least put a deposit down to hold for August 1st.  The price would have been half of the list price - so it would have been the deal of the century, but we just weren't ready.  Thank God we finally decided to say no.  See, we went in just to take a physical look at the models and got sucked into their sale.

That is just one symptom of the failing economy.  One symptom or sign that NOW is the best time to have a home business and a home business that will help people who are facing issues because of this economy.  We will probably buy a camper, but on OUR terms, when we are ready to buy - not when this dealer wants us to buy. 

If you haven't done so already, take a look at my new free - list building e-book:  http://www.traffic-and-sales.com - and anyone who joins me in United America Cash and Save Program (an excellent, IN DEMAND program right now) will get their very own branded version of this book and a website to give it away with -- which will help them build their business and their list at the same time.

I'm still really enjoying the United America Cash and Save Program.  To any members who are in the US who are looking for a simple, affordable program to save money on their groceries and get some extra gas for our rising gas prices -- this is the place to be!

Enjoy the article - I was inspired to write it from a part of an e-book I am reading!

Best wishes,

Are You Failing Enough to Succeed?

You probably think that I have lost my mind.  Failed enough to succeed?  What do the two have in common?  Most people who succeed don't fail - or they don't allow "failure to be an option."  But, hear me out and I think you'll find the connection very quickly.

No one is perfect and no one EVER (or maybe VERY few) gets something right the first time.  Let's consider this - as a child you stumble while you learn to crawl and you fall several times while you learn to walk.  But not once does someone say to you "well, you've failed to walk you better give up now." 
 

In sports, the best hitters have a batting average of .300 - that means that they fail 7 times out of 10 when they get up to the plate.  The best home run hitters also had the most strike outs.  Babe Ruth had the most home runs AND the most strike outs ever.  Because when you go up to the plate to hit a home run, you aren't going to hit one every time.  But no one told Babe Ruth to stop trying to hit home runs. 

All around us people fail AND succeed.  But why is it that if someone's first business venture fails, there are hundreds of people there to say "you failed, you better give up" - or something to that effect.  We aren't perfect, so why would people expect ALL of the things we try to be perfect? 

We do learn from our failures, well we CAN learn from our failures and then we will be more successful the next time.  I've heard that for every millionaire, they had 6 or 7 failures before they found the business or idea that brought them millions. 

I've failed enough to succeed - and I AM succeeding now.  How about you?  Are you going to take your failures and let them beat you or are you going to look at them as your stepping stones to success.  If you choose the latter then you have chosen right and you are on the right path to success.

I hope that you choose to learn from your failures and launch yourself off of them into your success.

Have a prosperous week - I know I plan to!!
