It was a HUGE success…   Thank You to everyone involved.

The sale may be closed, but Things are STILL absolutely CRAZY around here.

The looks the neighbors have been giving me when I load my kids into a car that is filled nearly to the roof with packages…..   

I am 100% serious when I say that I am putting together THE BIGGEST self development package I have ever seen, and I am practically giving it away to everyone who gets my newsletter!

People are going to call me crazy when they see this.

I wanted to launch this on my birthday, but it has turned out to be soooo much larger than I could have ever imagined!   It has taken over 100 people to bring this HUGE package together…

and as I mentioned earlier, I am going to be nearly giving it away!

This isn’t some collection of junk either.  It is my very best work, along with the best work of many, many people.

It is going to be HUGE.

But, it is only going to be for 1 day.

I held a big 1 day only event back in 2008 and it was a HUGE success…  and what I am about to unleash is more than twice as large, and 95% less in price…  (I told you I was practically giving it away didn’t I!)

Don’t miss it.  Watch your email for more details.

The links to birthday cards and youtube videos were wonderful.  As were the digital flowers that were sent, (thanks Liz)

Today, Sunday, is my birthday.

Looking at the many guesses, Mahir was a very close second with a guess of 37…  because you see I was 37 at the time I wrote this.

But the question was how old will I be, which means that Caroline is our winner with the guess of 38.

Congratulations Caroline.  I will be sending you an email requesting your address so that I can mail you your prize.

Thank you all again for your Birthday wishes,

- John Derrick

Amazon is having a huge DVD Sales event that will run from today until Jan. 24th, while supplies last.

I saw deals up to 75% Off

YES, you can buy your favorite movies, but instead why not consider getting yourself a fitness DVD.  They have over 200 fitness DVD’s included in this sale, everything from Yoga to dance workouts.

Winter can be a very sedentary time, so I thought this sale would be a great excuse to help make those new years resolutions come true. 

PS – I found some great fitness stuff as low as $6 in this sale.

PPS – Yes, I did buy a movie or two also.

The last time I checked, there were over 500 products listed.

YES, everyone of those products are FREE.

You can see for yourself by Clicking This Link.

Now there is a catch. First, you have to sign up for the give-away even, with your name and email.  Then you will be shown several pages of ads, where you have to scroll to the very bottom and select “no thank you”.

Once inside, you can see a list of all the different people giving away gifts.

YES, I was invited and yes I do have a gift listed on there.  (Please vote mine 5 stars when you see it).

In order to get each gift, you have to give your name and email to yet another person.  So if you want a lot of gifts, you can be expecting to be added to a LOT of email lists.

Still, this only seems fair since you are asking for someone to share their hard work with you for free.

With that said, I can honestly say that a LOT of the stuff there either A) Did not interest me at all, or B) Was absolute junk.

Be warned that over half of the products listed are “making money online”, which I personally do not see as a true “self development” product.  I had to scroll through many pages, but I did find a few things that honestly interested me.  Maybe you will too.

I was asked to “hype” this event with pre-written emails and such, but everyone who knows me knows that I am 100% honest with my readers and I simply will not do that.

In conclusion:  YES, more than likely you will find a gem or three in this sale, but most of the “free products” do not seem worth all the hassle to download.

Self Improvement Giveaway

So if you find something that you think was great, please leave a comment below so that the other 10,000 readers of this site can benefit from it as well.

3 Steps To Make Your Dreams Into Reality

(Download)

This is the simplest formula for achieving your goals in 2010.  If you want to achieve your goals this year, you will have to do these three things.  No matter how much hype or fluff any “self development” product  or tool promises, you can not skip any of these three steps.

It seems easy enough…  just 3 little things stand between you and greatness.

It is easy to figure out what you want.

* Maybe you want to lose weight

* Maybe you want to quit smoking

* Maybe you want to make more money

It doesn’t matter what it is, all the those goals require motivation, a plan, and of course action.

Taking action isn’t hard.   Just ask everyone who has quit smoking and started back up again… or the person who went on a diet for 2 weeks before they went back to their old way of eating.

The plan was easy enough, and the action was there, but it was the MOTIVATION that lets people down.

Motivation is the one key to your success.  Even if the plan is modest, as long as you are motivated enough to stick with it, YOU WILL SUCCEED.

Hopefully the PDF above will help you with some tips to keep you motivated, but I would also like to offer you something I created JUST TO KEEP YOU MOTIVATED ALL of 2010.

I knew motivation was the key to everything, so I wrote this with you mind:

Please Read This – Click Here

s

There are a lot of tools that can help you improve your life, such as the free subliminal videos, or the Secret Course, or even the simple Manifesting Cards.

But guess what?

Without motivation, no tool can work for you.

You have to actually watch the subliminal video in order for it to have a chance to imprint on your subconscious mind.   You would have to actually read the Secret Course and practice what it teaches.

I think one of the reasons that the Manifesting Cards are so successful for people is because it is quick and easy to use, so it does not require as much motivation, but still….  like any tool, if you don’t use it, it can’t work.

Exercise equipment that you never use, can not get you into shape.

I hope you will make this year different from all the years past, and that you check out Your 2010 Success and truly make this year different.

I wish you the best of success in 2010.

Warmest Regards,

- John Derrick

PS – Try to keep a positive attitude.  So what if you quit smoking for 60 days and started back up?  At least you took the burden off of your body for 60 days…  and next time you will do even better.

So what if you lost 20 lbs but put most of it back during the holidays.  Now you know you can do it!  Not to mention that good you did your body when that weight was off and you know how good being thinner felt so it is even more likely that you will accomplish it again.

As long as you stay motivated and keep moving forward, it doesn’t matter how slow your progress is, everyday you are 1 day closer to your goals.

As my 7 year old, Declan,  loves to say  “Never give up, never surrender!”
(He picked that up from the movie Galaxy Quest)

I hope all is well with you & yours.

Do you know the history of Christmas?

Why we hang stockings?

Why do we put a tree inside our house?

Do you know where the holiday we traditionally celebrate on December 25th originated? Think it all began with the birth of Jesus Christ? Then you had better think again!

This free book will reveal all.

It is a gift from me to you.

There is nothing more important in your life than your health.  Money is worthless if you are too  sick to be able to use it.  Your spouse, children and friends all need you to be healthy if you want to enjoy those relationships fully.

Love? Money?  Power?  Sex?  None of it matters if you don’t have your health.

Once you are healthy, and full of energy, THEN you can use this technique to go after all those other great things.

Get Extraordinary Health Now!

I didn’t use to be healthy.  Not at all.   Even as a child I was always sickly.  As a young adult I had chronic Asthma and often found myself hospitalized.  Later in life I developed chronic boils and skin infections.  I was in the hospital with heart irregularities and was given nitroglycerin for my chest pain.

The worst was being diagnosed with Hidradenitis Suppurativa, a so-called incurable disease that is both extremely painful and disabling.  In fact, it was so bad and so painful that I was told I should consider myself disabled and accept social security disability.

I do NOT suffer from ANY of those conditions now.  Not a one.

I am going to share with you EXACTLY how I did it….

Where did you get your beliefs from?  Did you pick them up along the beaten path of life, or were they given to you by your parents when you were still a child?

No matter where your beliefs are from, I challenge you to take a long hard honest look at them and see if they are serving you.

Since your beliefs are creating your personal world, it would seem wise to only hang on to beliefs that serve you.

For example, if you believe that life is tough, you will be creating a very tough life for yourself.  You might believe that to be true because your parents had a tough life and you have had a tough life too.

So what?

Who cares what your life has been like before today.   The past is simply the result of previous thinking.

If you do not like having a tough life I suggest you replace that belief!

I believe that things in life go easily and smoothly.  I also believe that I can have anything I put my mind to.

So when I want something, I simply pull out a Manifesting Card, and I focus on the end result of already possessing it.

Then I sit back and watch the universe re-align things in a way to make my wish come true.

How easy is that?

Yes, I sometimes have to take action, and when I see the events align in a way that leads me to believe that I need to take a small easy action I jump at the opportunity because the universe loves speed.

I USED to believe that life was tough.   I replaced that belief and now life is easy.

I USED to believe that “money was hard to come by”, and now money comes in steady and when I need more something suddenly happens to give me the more of what I need.

I USED to feel guilty when I went out spending money, but now I get home and usually find that I earned more than normal that day and like magic the “extra” money I spent is already replaced.

I USED to be unhealthy, and now (You Wont Believe This – Click Here For Details) my health is better than anytime in life, even though I am the oldest I have ever been.  (Of course, so are you at this very moment.)

I highly recommend you change your beliefs if they are working against you.  You can do this with the power of SUBLIMINAL VIDEOS, or SUBLIMINAL AUDIOS, or Daily Affirmations, but if you need someone to walk guide you every step of the way,  you will want to check out the SECRET COURSE.

Best wishes to you in all your future successes.

“Be careful what you wish for.”

and

“You get more of what you focus on.”

When you think about something and feel about something, the universe takes it as a wish.  Even if you REALLY don’t want the thing you are thinking about.  You see, the universe is not a mind reader.  Nor does it speak English.

Vibration is the best term we have to describe the language of the universe.  Whatever state you are in, you send out a vibrational frequency that attracts other similar frequencies to you.  (Read More About This Here)

With that in mind, you may get a little giggle out of the story I am about to share.

Sunday I was running errands in town with my son Logan.  As you may have read last week, I am building a workshop and Saturday I got the roof boards on. (Thanks for the hand Ronnie).

So Sunday I am picking out paint colors and getting roofing paper, Shingles, Caulk, Latches, Peg Board,  a Work Bench and all the other fun stuff that goes along with this project.  In total, we spent 3 hours getting all the supplies we needed to make this a perfect workshop.

Three hours is an insanely long time to a 10 year old.  Of course, he was starving by the time we were done doing my shopping.  I didn’t want to use any more time in town than we had to, because I was in a hurry to get back home before the daylight was gone.

So I took Logan to a Wendy’s fast food restuarant.  Not something I normally do, as I try to avoid fast food for health reasons.

Earlier this week a friend of mine sent me an link to website all about the dangers of house flies.  It described how many germs flies carried and all sorts of other gross information that I wont scare you with here.

With that mind, I noticed several flies when ordering.  I ordered a salad and Logan ordered a chicken sandwich.  After we put our food on the table, I asked Logan to make sure a fly did not land on my salad while I went into the bathroom to wash my hands.  (Logan already washed his while I ordered)

I sat down and began eating my salad, but I couldn’t stop thinking about those darn flies.  There only appeared to be two in the restaurant, but wouldn’t you know it, they both kept coming to me.  They didn’t seem to be bothering Logan or any of the other people eating inside.

Whenever one of them would get anywhere near me I would take a swat to shoo them away.  I swear those darn flies just wouldn’t leave me alone.

Nearing the end of my salad, you can probably guess what I found in it.  Yes, as gross as can be, I found a dead fly in my salad.  It wasn’t a housefly either, but some kind of longer legged version, so it probably was shipped in the lettuce.

It was a terribly gross lesson, and one I really would rather never think about again, but it was a lesson nonetheless.

Ever since my pal sent me that link about how disgusting flies were, I have been thinking about that.  Thinking about how they are immune to various diseases, germs and pathogens that they carry on their legs.  It had been on my mind for days, and when I entered that Wendys the first thing I noticed was the flies.

As I sat there, continuing to think about them, I was attracting them into my personal reality.  Even though I certainly did not want them, I was attracting the flies to me.

I didn’t realize that I was wishing for flies at the time, but that is exactly what frequency I was vibrating it.  I had a fly vibe….   and so I got flies.

.

What are you attracting?

If you are watching the news and you believe that the economy is bad, what will you be expecting to happen to you?  What are you creating for yourself?

I don’t watch the news, but I do know that people are running around with a big old negative vibe.  NOT ME.  My economy is great.  The people I am working with are doing great also.  We are not carrying around a doom and gloom vibe.

But as my story above clearly shows, it is easy to forget that what we focus on, we get.  Good or bad, we get it.

So please be sure to focus on what you want in life, and NOT what you DON’T want.
