Your Home Biz Guide

Issue # 2-8 

Dear Subscriber,

I cannot believe that July is over (well, almost over).  It has been quite the month here.  My husband and I celebrated our 8th anniversary on the first of the month. 

Then, in the middle of the month we went on vacation to Lake George, NY.  It was a much needed vacation.

Today, we bought a mini-van.  Well, we put a deposit on it and will pay for it (it's a used one) when we get the payout from my husband's annuity in a few days.  It was a much needed purchase for practical reasons.  Plus, my father-in-law will take our Pathfinder and take over the payments and insurance payments for that so it will cut a little over $400 from our monthly expenses. 

But, the most significant thing that has happened this month is a HUGE change for me.  I have done some serious soul searching and I'm really changing directions with my business and my online career.  I had a very big revelation last night.  It is the subject of my article so you can discover the changes I'm making when you read the article.

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!

I hope you enjoy the article -- it isn't as much an article as it is just a revelation or declaration on my part.

Best wishes,
Liz Martinez

My A-Ha Moment!

 

Ok, last night I had a huge epiphany and breakthrough in my business - and you, my readers/subscribers will be greatly affected by this -- but in a good way! 

 

First, let me explain what has been going on in my head the last few weeks.  I have been looking at my activities each day and looking at the businesses I promote and I have been wondering if I'm doing too much - if I'm spreading myself too thin.  I wanted to do some soul searching to decide what was the best thing for me and for my family.  I have three programs/businesses that I am promoting - Cruise to Cash, United America Program, and the Gas and Cash Program.  I am also working with a friend on a couple other programs and using iBuzzPro for some marketing (and we are also promoting iBuzzPro to other business owners because we believe it will help them). 

 

Here's what was happening.  I was getting to a point where I was just frozen.  I was stuck in front of my computer screen and couldn't take action.  I couldn't decide what to do and what to focus on.  Which is why I decided to do the soul searching. 

 

I have finally decided that I'm not promoting too much - but that I'm going about things in the wrong way.  My focus has been wrong - and it isn't wrong anymore.

 

I had my epiphany when I was reading a report by Tellman Knudson and Shawn Casey.  They were sharing their stories about their careers, businesses, and list building.  It was then that it hit me that I had done and have done the same thing that Tellman Knudson did.  I KNOW that the money is in the list - and I even teach my Cruise to Cash team members to build a list -- but I wasn't doing that!  Instead of focusing on promoting a business I need to focus on helping people and building a list.  I was really relieved to know that not only was I not the only person to do that -- know that I need to build a list but not build one - but that I could definitely recover from this mistake and recover very nicely.  In fact, when Tellman had his epiphany, he went on to make $800,000 that year -- so, if I can do even a fraction of that I will be in very good shape!

 

Ok, so here is where YOU will benefit from my epiphany.  First, I have decided to help people- and in helping people I will 1- focus on giving away my e-book rather than promoting a program -- I just want to help people with their current business first, 2- I will communicate with my list more often - I will publish my newsletter at least weekly and send e-mails sometimes as often as everyday and sometimes as few as a couple a week and finally 3- I am creating a training site that will be available to anyone who is one of my members of any of the programs that I am promoting.

 

What all this means to you is this....

Since you are on my list now, and you have been loyal readers -- you are the people who will be helped first!  Please use the link above to get your copy of the free e-book.  It is a very valuable resource and guide for you.  Then, I am working on articles for my newsletter as well as for my website.  I am going to re-vamp my YourHomeBizGuide.com website - this will be my way of helping ANYONE - not just the people on my team.  You can input.  If there is something you'd like to learn more about -- something you'd like me to write an article on, or something you'd like to see discussed on my yourhomebizguide.com website -- please let me know so that I can include it. 

 

I truly want to help you and hundreds and hundreds of others online!  Let's all make each other wealthy this year (notice I said wealthy, because I am already rich thanks to my husband, my family and all my friends- online and offline).

 

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