			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Twitter Strikes the Networking, Celebrity and Political World&#8230;</h3>
<p>Here&#8217;s something cool, which will be a lot of fun when you implement in your marketing arsenal&#8230;</p>
<p>Recently, Raymond and I presented at the Hwa Rang Do Black Sash conference on the application of internet marketing tactics for martial arts studios.</p>
<p>One of the coolest parts of the presentation was when we showed these school owners, how to use the insanely popular social networking tool called &#8216;Twitter&#8217;.</p>
<p>If you are not familiar with &#8216;Twitter&#8217;, their business model is actually pretty simple and at first glance, can seem a bit silly&#8230;</p>
<p>Your profile on Twitter consist of nothing more than your website URL, a short description and a &#8216;ticker&#8217; of updates telling people what you are doing on any given moment during the day.  And people can choose to &#8216;follow&#8217; what you are doing and your updates will automatically appear on their Twitter home page for them to see.</p>
<p>You can either log onto the website and type in your update, or you can text message it from your cell phone for an instant update.  It seems a little twisted, because it&#8217;s like a type of &#8216;New Age Voyegerism&#8217;.  But it&#8217;s become insanely popular and is now widely used by celebrities, company CEO&#8217;s, politicians and even marketers.</p>
<p>Now how exactly can you use Twitter to promote your business? Here are a few strategies for various types of business and applications&#8230;</p>
<h3>Marketers and Networkers on Twitter</h3>
<p>Now, we&#8217;ve talked quite a bit in recent years about developing YOU, INC. when trying to brand yourself and grow a network marketing business.  Well, Twitter is a great way to allow your prospects to get to know you on a more personal level.</p>
<p>Ultimately, people want to know that you are a real person.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a list of well known networkers who have found a new home and marketing tool with Twitter.  Study what they do&#8230;</p>
<p>Ferny Ceballos &#8211; <a title="Ferny Ceballos" target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/fernyceballos">http://twitter.com/fernyceballos</a><br />
Raymond Fong &#8211; <a title="Raymond Fong" target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/RaymondFong">http://twitter.com/RaymondFong</a><br />
Mike Dillard &#8211; <a title="Mike " target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/MikeDillard">http://twitter.com/MikeDillard</a><br />
Ben Settle &#8211; <a title="Ben Settle" target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/bensettle">http://twitter.com/bensettle</a></p>
<h3>&#8220;Join Me at the Bar&#8230;&#8221;</h3>
<p>I do not recommend you use it as a pure promotional tool where you flash your affiliate link to products.  It&#8217;s ok to recommend something once in a while, but if you do that too much, you won&#8217;t have many people following you.</p>
<p>Although there is one marketer who recently did something very interesting with his Twitter updates&#8230;</p>
<p>He was sitting at a bar, in Florida killing sometime while waiting for an appointment.  Since he was just sitting around, he send a Twitter update saying, &#8220;I&#8217;ll be at XYZ bar in Orlando, FL. for the next couple of hours.  If anyone wants to come by and talk shop, come on by&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>Literally 20 minutes later, a couple of guys walk into the bar to greet this marketer and talk shop, exchange ideas and have a few drinks.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s genius, because from here on out, you bet more people will be subscribing to this marketer&#8217;s twitter updates just in case he ever sends out another message like that again.  It&#8217;s a great &#8220;piece of cheese&#8221; to use to bring more people into your Twitter followers list and connect with people.</p>
<h3>Martial Arts Schools or Small Business Owners</h3>
<p>Twitter also allows you to place a widget on to your MySpace, Facebook and Websites, which will display all updates you send to Twitter.</p>
<p>An idea for a small business, especially for martial arts studios, is to create a Twitter profile for your business and place this widget on your website.</p>
<p>Turn this widget into a window inside your business.  For martial arts schools, you can upload regular updates about current classes and exact techniques which are being taught at any given moment.</p>
<p>For a brick and mortar business, if you want to let your customers know about a new specialty item which is now available in your store, just update your Twitter ticker and it will show up on your website.</p>
<p>This type of marketing gives your prospect an entirely new user experience and they can learn about your products or services in a dynamic way.</p>
<h3>Politicians and Celebrities</h3>
<p>Twitter is a virtual goldmine for politicians and celebrities looking to establish a large following via the social networks.</p>
<p>Imagine being able to follow the day to day activities of Barack Obama, Ron Paul, John McCain or the Clintons&#8230;</p>
<p>In fact, politicians and celebrities can all but fire their publicist because they can use Twitter to notify the press and fans about any upcoming events and places they&#8217;ll be at.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s particularly powerful in today&#8217;s day and age, where people are still getting to know public figures like Barack Obama or getting to know a different side of polarizing politicians like Hillary Clinton or George Bush&#8230; it provides a whole new perspective into their humanity&#8230;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a way to connect personally with voters, which is crucial because it&#8217;s been shown that the politician whom is most likable is much more likely to get the votes.</p>
<p>Anyway, I think you get the idea&#8230;</p>
<p>So if you haven&#8217;t done so already, go to Twitter.com and start a profile.  It takes 5 minutes.</p>
<p>Be sure to add Raymond and myself to your &#8216;follow&#8217; list&#8230;</p>
<p>Ferny Ceballos &#8211; <a title="Ferny Ceballos" target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/FernyCeballos">http://twitter.com/FernyCeballos</a><br />
Raymond Fong &#8211; <a title="Raymond Fong" target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/RaymondFong">http://twitter.com/RaymondFong</a></p>
<p>And of course, Twitter is not a marketing system in and of itself&#8230; It should be viewed as another traffic tool for your funded proposal system.</p>
<p>To learn how to put your own lead generation system, go to <a title="Attraction Marketing Formula" href="http://www.attractionmarketingformula.com/letter.html">Attraction Marketing Formula</a> page and grab your copy of the massive AMF course&#8230;</p>
<p>To New Age &#8220;Voyagerism&#8221;,<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 align="center">The Heck with It, I&#8217;m Gonna Tell You the Truth&#8230;</h2>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">I have a little secret I&#8217;ve been keeping to myself for about a week, after Mike Dillard shared it with me.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">You see, the launch of Black Belt Recruiting is not what you think&#8230;</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">It&#8217;s actually a gateway to much more than you previously thought.  </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">You&#8217;re actually being qualified with a very powerful &#8220;cheese&#8221;, from Mike&#8217;s latest and greatest plan to flush out the true leaders in this industry.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">And the reason I&#8217;m telling you about it is because I want you to be prepared and make the RIGHT CHOICE when the time comes.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">You see, right after you <a href="http://www.blackbeltrecruitingbonus.com">buy Black Belt Recruiting</a> (which still comes with the bonuses we are offering), you are going to be offered a once in a lifetime opportunity to play ball with the big boys in this industry using the top secret &#8216;System Formula&#8217; (not to be mistaken for Traffic Formula).<br />
</font></div>
<div>
<h2><font face="Arial">What is System Formula?</font></h2>
</div>
<div><font face="Arial">Around this time last year, Mike Dillard held a private $5,000 per person event (only 20 people were allowed to attend) where he revealed everything he knows about building and growing a successful replicated marketing system like Magnetic Sponsoring.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">This goes way beyond what Traffic Formula taught, because it&#8217;s really only meant for people who not only want to make money in this industry, but completely dominate it!</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">Unfortunately, I was not able to attend this 2-day event, but I was able to secure the written course and DVD copy of the entire event a couple of months later, during a very low key release.  (Only 15 copies were made available.)<br />
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">Well, Mike is getting a little sneaky and not even telling you that he is going to give you an opportunity to invest in this <strong>one of a kind product</strong>.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">But I understand why he&#8217;s not telling you&#8230;<br />
</font></div>
<div>
<h2><font face="Arial">Do You Qualify to Receive It?</font></h2>
<p><font face="Arial">The only way you can get your hands on this course, is if you buy Black Belt Recruiting first!</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">Why is Mike restricting access to only customers?  It&#8217;s quite simple really.  </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">He can&#8217;t afford to have this course fall into the wrong hands.  If you have the ambition and willing to invest in yourself through a killer course like Black Belt Recruiting, then&#8230; maybe&#8230; just maybe, you might have what it takes to put the strategies of System Formula to work for you as well.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">Not only that, you&#8217;ll also have an opportunity to scope out some other very very powerful products, Mike has yet to release.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">I&#8217;ve said too much already, and Mike is probably already ticked off at me for telling you.<br />
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">But my recommendation is to head over to:</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"><a href="http://www.blackbeltrecruitingbonus.com">http://www.blackbeltrecruitingbonus.com</a></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">Read about the bonuses we are offering, just to get Black Belt Recruiting.  It is definitely worth getting Black Belt just for the bonuses.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">Then get your copy of Black Belt.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">Immediately following, you will be presented with this one in a lifetime opportunity to own the holy grail of networking domination, System Formula (among other items).<br />
</font></div>
<div>
<h2><font face="Arial">Making You an Offer You Can&#8217;t Refuse</font></h2>
<p><font face="Arial">To show you that I&#8217;m willing to put my money where my mouth is, if you are one of the people who decides to make the investment in System Formula, Raymond and I will give you every single product and training piece we have.  This includes:<br />
</font></div>
<ul>

</font></li>
</ul>
<div><font face="Arial">Well over $1,000 in real value, yours free!<br />
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">So that&#8217;s it.  Everything we&#8217;ve got is on the line to help you make the RIGHT CHOICE!</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">You&#8217;d be silly not to get Black Belt Recruiting, just so you can take advantage of the bonuses.  Actually, you&#8217;d be clinically insane not to do it.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 align="center"><strong>A Valuable Lesson on Mindset vs. Skill from a REAL Black Belt Master&#8230; </strong></h3>
<p align="left" class="style20"><img height="203" width="125" align="right" alt="Dillard" src="http://blackbeltrecruitingbonus.com/bbr-cap-vids_files/blackbelt.jpg" /></p>
<p>As you may already know, Raymond and I train in the martial arts an average of 3-4 times per week.</p>
<p>A HUGE aspect of our training has less to do with the physical, and a lot to do with the mental, because as your body wears down the only thing keeping you competitive is your mind.</p>
<p>Oddly enough, Mike Dillard is permanently launching Black Belt Recruiting and coincedentally, there&#8217;s a lot that succeeding in networking and the martial arts have in common.</p>
<p>I must confess first, that I am not (physically) the perfect picture of what a martial artist should look like.</p>
<p>I weight 270lbs, 6&#8242;3&#8243; and watching me perform a jumping spin kick is not exactly what you would call &#8220;poetry in motion&#8221;.</p>
<p>There are many more talented and athletic practioners at my martial arts school.</p>
<p>However, when push comes to shove and I&#8217;m in a sparring or grappling match, I&#8217;ve managed to defeat individuals who are many ranks higher than me, in something where usually the faster and quicker individual has the advantage.</p>
<p>Being that I&#8217;m still a pretty low rank and have a long way before I reach 1st Dan, I sat back to think about why it is I seem to be progressing pretty quickly, considering my arsenal of techniques are still limited.</p>
<h3 class="quoteHeadline"><strong>What&#8217;s the Difference Maker?</strong></h3>
<p>As Chief Master Lee always tells us right before competition, &#8220;regardless of your experience and rank, when preparing for competition you are preparing for battle&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;In battle there is no second place.  You must go in with the belief that you can and will win.&#8221;</p>
<p>I guess I&#8217;ve taken this to heart, because now I look forward to my matches with my more skilled and senior brothers at the dojang. And although I have my share of defeats, I&#8217;ve recently been having a good number of victories.</p>
<p>So what&#8217;s the correlation between my recent progress in the martial arts and network marketing&#8230;</p>
<p>Simple&#8230; <strong>confidence and belief that I will win.</strong></p>
<h3 class="quoteHeadline"><strong>Smacking Prospects Upside the Head</strong></h3>
<p>Not to long ago, I started talking to prospects and potential business partners with one hand extended out and a smile on my face, and with the other hand behind my back ready to swing it around and knock them upside the head if they say anything that would piss me off.</p>
<div>You see, I&#8217;ve grown very <strong>intolerant of whiny, skeptical and negative people</strong>.  Unless they are willing to shell out $400 per hour in consultation fees to have me hear them whine, they are lucky if I just simply walk away or refuse to answer their phone calls.</p>
<p>Now don&#8217;t take me wrong, I take calls anytime someone has a couple of questions and answer emails about our products or opportunity.  But when someone starts spewing excuses and tries to suck me into their negative world &#8212; I&#8217;m gone.</p>
<p>We have absolute confidence in our ability to grow a downline, make a substantial income and help others do the same.  And we go through great lengths to shield ourselves from anything that will sabotage that.</p>
<p>Everyday I wake up ready to go to battle with the negative forces, which will inevitably attempt to keep me from realizing my dreams.</p>
<p>I will win.</p>
<p>The same in martial arts. I got into every sparring and grappling match with the intention of winning &#8212; and if I lose, I will understand why I lost and learn from those mistakes.</p>
<h3 class="quoteHeadline"><strong>Developing the Warrior&#8217;s Mindset</strong></h3>
<p>And right now the perfect opportunity for you to develop the mindset and skills is available to you in the re-release of Black Belt Recruiting.</p>
<p>Mike Dillard and Mark Wieser may not be martial artist, but they are certainly warriors and will teach you the exact mindset required to truly perform on a black belt level&#8230; as well as providing you the techniques and skills to support that mindset.</p>
<p>But make no mistake about it&#8230; ultimately it&#8217;s not about how much you know or how many techniques you have in your arsenal&#8230;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s about making the best with what you&#8217;ve got and rushing in with the belief that you will succeed.</p>
<p><u>And in a world where 97% of people are drowning in their own fears and self doubt, it&#8217;s the person with the greater self-image whom will rule.</u></div>
<p>However, just in case you wish to have the security of a broad and powerful skill set, for only this month, Raymond and I are offering you <u>4 additional training bonuses, with your purchase of Black Belt Recruiting</u>.</p>
<p>They include training in <strong>Google Adwords, Squidoo &#038; Social Content Marketing, MySpace Marketing and Video Marketing</strong> from top networking leaders such as <strong>Jim Yaghi, Dennis Karganilla</strong> and others.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><font face="Arial">I know, I know&#8230; It sounds insane, but hear me out.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">As you probably know from many of our newsletters, along with doing marketing for the West Coast Hwa Rang Do Academy led by Chief Master Taejoon Lee, we also train in Hwa Rang Do 3-4 times per week.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">Hwa Rang Do, over the past couple of years, has played a major role in our growth and journey towards financial freedom.<br />
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">You see, Hwa Rang Do is not your run of the mill Mixed Martial Arts school&#8230; learning self-defense and martial arts techniques is only the beginning.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">If I had to sum up the experience of training with Chief Master Lee it can be summed up in this quote:</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div align="center"><font face="Arial"><strong><em>&#8220;One who conquers others is strong;<br />
One who conquers oneself is mighty.&#8221;<br />
Lao-Tzu, 6th Century B.C.</em></strong></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">Being able to beat someone up and win a martial arts tournament is easy.  </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">Having your $#!+ together and keeping your life in order&#8230; that&#8217;s hard!<br />
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">It&#8217;s this philosophy and way of life that has allowed Raymond and I to become financial independent, and overcome so many others of our personal demons.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">As Master Lee would say, above all other forms of personal development, the martial arts is the only way to physically demonstrate your maturity and growth&#8230;  you can&#8217;t hide&#8230; it&#8217;s very easy to tell if you are growing or not. </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>

</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">If you give up on a workout because it&#8217;s too hard, what&#8217;s to stop you from giving up on other things in your life.<br />
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">You must&#8230;<br />
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">Learn to conquer your fear of:</font></div>
<ul>
<li><font face="Arial">failure</font></li>
<li><font face="Arial">humiliation</font></li>
<li><font face="Arial">getting hurt</font></li>
<li><font face="Arial">responsibility<br />
</font></li>
</ul>
<div><font face="Arial">Learn to conquer yourself by:</font></div>
<ul>
<li><font face="Arial">doing more than you thought you could</font></li>
<li><font face="Arial">performing physical feats you thought would be impossible</font></li>
<li><font face="Arial">truly learn how the concept of &#8220;mind over matter&#8221; really works</font></li>
<li><font face="Arial">defy your physical ailments and conditions<br />
</font></li>
</ul>
<div align="center">

<div align="center"><font face="Arial"><img height="307" width="456" border="2" style="margin: 0px" src="http://www.hwarangdo.net/school/pics/GotoogiChallenge2007/gtg37_w.jpg" /> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">I must admit, I&#8217;m not the physical specimen you would normally think of when you think &#8220;martial artist&#8221;.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">I&#8217;m 270 pounds and my belt size is the biggest in the school.  When I came to the dojang to take my trial class 2 years ago, 20 minutes into the workout, I was out on my feet and almost passed out.</p>
<p>Today, I am a brown belt and I am proficient in submission fighting, kick/punch/throw sparring, and board breaking, among other things. </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">Things I never thought I would be able to do I can now perform easily &#8211; like spin kicks, axe kicks, side kicks, spinning heel hook, jump kicks and I&#8217;m currently learning the jumping spin kick.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">A person my size normally should not be able to do these type of maneuvers, but it&#8217;s my commitment to achieve black belt and be a leader within the school, which allows me to overcome my physical limitations and continue rising through the ranks.</p>
<p>And it&#8217;s this gift, which we wish to extend to you.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">This month on July 25th and 26th, Hwa Rang Do will be holding its annual <a href="http://completemartialart.com/summerseminar_2008.html">Summer Seminars at the West Coast Hwa Rang Do Academy</a> led by the founder of Hwa Rang Do, Supreme Grandmaster Dr. Joo Bang Lee and his eldest son, Chief Master Taejoon Lee.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">It&#8217;s the only time of the year, where non-HRD people are invited to train in techniques, maneuvers and the healing arts only available to Hwa Rang Do 1st Dan Black Sashes and up.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">Raymond and I are extending a personal invitation to everyone on our list to join us on these two days and train along side us in the Ancient Martial Art of Hwa Rang Do.  It&#8217;s an opportunity to peak inside our journey towards self-betterment and discover the true secret to our success.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div align="center"><font face="Arial"><img height="323" width="483" border="2" style="margin: 0px" src="http://www.hwarangdo.net/art/pics/TheAction07/img_9967_w.jpg" /> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">In fact, when you walk into the school and speak to a few of Master Lee&#8217;s students, you&#8217;ll immediately realize that this is not your normal testosterone, meat head filled, chump infested MMA school.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">The pedigree of the caliber of people we train with include attorneys, company CEO&#8217;s, doctors, university professors, ivy league graduates, musicians, movie stars&#8230;.. and of course, network marketers. (Me and Ray). <img src='http://blog.attractionmarketingformula.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </font></p>
<h3 align="center"><font face="Arial">Still a UFC Fanatic?</font></h3>
</div>
<div><font face="Arial">But there&#8217;s still something for everybody here&#8230;</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div align="center"><font face="Arial"><img height="329" width="481" border="2" style="margin: 0px" src="http://www.hwarangdo.net/art/pics/SummerSeminar2007/img_9396_w.jpg" /> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">If you like UFC or Mixed Martial Arts, you&#8217;ll love the takedowns, grappling, joint manipulation and sparring sessions.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">If you long for the old days when disputes were settled with a duel, you&#8217;ll love our sword fighting and kumdo sessions.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">If you&#8217;re into holistic health and alternative medicine, you&#8217;ll love the sessions with Supreme Grandmaster Dr. Joo Bang Lee as he dives into the ancient meditation and healing principles passed on to him by his master and Buddhist monk, Suahm Dosa.</p>
<p>If you want to take a trip on the wild side, discover our weapons and knife defense techniques.</font></div>

to see a different self in the mirror of some woman&#8217;s eyes&#8221;</em><strong><em><br />
- Clare Boothe Luce  </em></strong></em></font></p>
<p align="left">Today, I want to share something deeply personal about a hard, yet beautiful lesson I learned as it relates to love and heartbreak.</p>
<p align="left">But before I do, there&#8217;s something you have to understand about how I present myself online in my marketing &#8212; what you see and read here is the REAL me.</p>
<p align="left">It&#8217;s not a caricature that we created and neither Raymond or I write behind a pen name. My real name is Fernando Ceballos and my friends really do call me &#8220;Ferny&#8221;.</p>
<p align="left">Even Master Lee has taken to calling me &#8220;Ferny&#8221;, instead of &#8220;Mr. Ceballos&#8221;. It&#8217;s kinda cool, I must admit. <img src='http://blog.attractionmarketingformula.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p align="left">That being said, ever since leaving my corporate job 2 months ago, I&#8217;ve been reflecting quite a bit as to how I arrived at the place I&#8217;m at today.</p>
<p align="left">I&#8217;m financially free, no longer deal with the famous L.A. traffic, I wake up and go to bed at whatever time I please and, truth be told, I&#8217;m very happy.</p>
<p align="left">I have the best business partner a person can have in Raymond, who shows me he cares by kicking my ass when I need it and helping me become very rich. (I try to do my part as well.) <img src='http://blog.attractionmarketingformula.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p align="left">I&#8217;ve reflected quite a bit over the past week, and I was able to trace the source of this good fortune to one of the most painful and traumatic experiences of my life &#8212; a break up with a beautiful woman.</p>
<h3 align="left">The Most Intense 4 Months of My Life</h3>
<p align="left">You see back in 2003/2004, about a year after graduating from MIT, returning to L.A. and entering the corporate world, I was miserable and lost.</p>
<p align="left"><img hspace="3" height="170" width="155" vspace="3" border="1" align="left" src="http://www.fotosearch.com/bthumb/IMZ/IMZ120/rbe0005.jpg" />I was making decent money, yet I still perpetually got myself into credit card debt and partied to numb the boring and disappointing experience of working in the Defense Industry.</p>
<p align="left">And then while visiting Texas for my best friend&#8217;s wedding, I fell in love with an old college friend I got re-acquainted with during that weekend. The next 4 months was the most intense, passionate and torturous time of my life.</p>
<p align="left">I was in L.A., she was in D.C. working within a very intense 2004 presidential campaign. Yet, I was committed to making it work and do whatever it took to being with her.</p>
<p align="left">I was basically what one would call, &#8220;a love sick wuss&#8221;, willing to do anything for her and obscessed with talking to her everyday.</p>
<p align="left">Like the old saying goes, &#8220;what goes up, must come down&#8221;. And as quickly as I fell head over heels in love, I came crashing down 100 times faster.</p>
<p align="left">The pressures of the campaign, the distance, among other circumstances, caused her to abruptly end our realtionship. I was devastated.</p>
<p align="left">I was 23 and had never before fallen that hard, that fast for someone.</p>
<h3 align="left">Picking Up the Pieces</h3>
<p align="left"><img hspace="3" height="113" width="170" vspace="3" border="1" align="right" src="http://www.fotosearch.com/bthumb/DGV/DGV049/E010457.jpg" />I spent the next 2 years picking myself off the ground, and trying to make sense of this very cruel life. I didn&#8217;t understand why I was so dependent on someone else to be happy.</p>
<p align="left">Being nieve, I guess I assumed at the time that happiness is contigent on finding a mate with whom you can share a life with.</p>
<p align="left">I wasn&#8217;t happy at my job, nor was I happy in L.A. at the time. I figured that since I was the happiest during this brief 4 month love affair, that must be where happiness lies.</p>
<p align="left">About 2 years after the break up, a weird guy with a big head named Raymond invited me to his home to see &#8220;the plan&#8221;. (I had met Ray a year earlier at USC grad school, taking a class on Computer Systems Architecture &#8212; Yippie! )</p>
<p align="left">On the night of &#8220;the plan&#8221;, life was breathed back into this lost soul&#8217;s body.</p>
<p align="left">What I saw over the first month of being involved in network marketing, was hope that there may exist another way out of my unhappiness.</p>
<p align="left">Initially, my interest in network marketing was the possibility of being able to leave my job and have the money to knock away the things I did not like about my life &#8211; one by one.</p>
<p align="left">First my job.</p>
<p align="left">Then I could leave L.A. and should the opportunity to find love again present itself, I wouldn&#8217;t have to deal with a long distance relationship.</p>
<p align="left">I could simply get up and move. Simple right?</p>
<h3 align="left">Deep Inner Game</h3>
<p align="left">Over the next year, I showed the plan and sponsored 17 people into my business, I was making some money, discovered the benefits of personal development and I read TONS of books on dating &#038; relationships. <img src='http://blog.attractionmarketingformula.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p align="left">I was literally able to feel myself growing on the inside from all this. I grew more confident, learned quite a bit about people as a result of showing the plan and watching my downline (as if they were fish in a fish bowl) live the tough life of a network marketer.</p>
<p align="left">I must say, even though it was frustrating watching my downline struggle, fail and eventually disappear, it was even more fascinating seeing it unravel &#8212; hearing their complaints, doubts, excuses, dealing with their negative friends/family and eventually giving up on their dreams.</p>
<p align="left">To those that stuck around, I became a mentor and thanks to my obscessive study of marketing, business and personal development &#8211; I found myself in a solid footing to be that mentor.</p>
<p align="left">I started finding purpose to my life in helping others better their lives.</p>
<p align="left">My hope for financial freedom, became a certainty with only time keeping me from achieving it.</p>
<p align="left">And most importantly, I discovered why it was I had fallen so hard and experienced so much pain back in 2004.</p>
<p align="left">As I grew within myself, I was becoming happier and as a result, the pain of the heartbreak I felt in 2004 started to disappear.</p>
<p align="left">Ambition and resolve, replaced my insecurities and sadness. And even my relationships &#8211; romantic, family and business &#8211; became more enjoyable and stable.</p>
<p align="left">I started applying my leadership and new life skills to all aspects of my life.</p>
<p align="left">As Mike Dillard would put it, I was becoming the &#8220;alpha&#8221;.</p>
<h3 align="left">Why We Fall&#8230;</h3>
<p align="left">For the first time in my life, I was happy being alone. My dependency on others for a purpose driven life vanished.</p>
<p align="left">It is entirely possible that none of my recent good fortune would have happened if I had not been forced to pick myself up from such a devastating heartbreak. I&#8217;m reminded of a quote from &#8216;Batman Begins&#8217;&#8230;</p>
<p align="left">&#8220;<em>Why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves up.</em>&#8220;</p>
<p align="left">And that&#8217;s exactly it. The disappointments, heartbreaks and failures did not end once I found myself through my business&#8230; I simply learned how to recover quickly from them and continue moving forward.</p>
<p align="left">So why is it that I am communicating this to you via a newsletter meant for network marketers. I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;d much rather learn about the latest in marketing, instead of my life&#8217;s drama.</p>
<p align="left">Well, the truth is&#8230;</p>
<p align="left">Your business will never grow if you don&#8217;t grow!</p>
<p align="left">Your relationships won&#8217;t get better, until you become better!</p>
<p align="left">Your financial situation won&#8217;t transform, until you do!</p>
<p align="left">A few people over the course of building my business have accused me of being money hungry and greedy, because I wish to be wealthy. It&#8217;s an interesting statement when you think about it, because it&#8217;s usually the people who have the worst relationship with money that say that.</p>
<p align="left">I recently attended a seminar where the instructor said, <strong>&#8220;Consider that the balance in your checking account is consistent with the character in your life.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p align="left">And I don&#8217;t mean this to be condescending, because some of the happiest people I&#8217;ve ever known were very poor, including my father. But they had a healthy relationship with money.</p>
<p align="left">They weren&#8217;t in debt. They still managed to save for a rainy day. They can still buy presents for their kids on their birthday &#8211; albeit very modest ones &#8212; on top of being very happy.</p>
<p align="left">I guess my point is, your relationship with your finances, your relationship with your girl friend, your relationship with your career, etc. is consistent with who you are and your maturity as a human being.</p>
<p align="left">When you work on developing yourself &#8212; your finances, relationships and career become clearly measurable representations of who you are on the inside.</p>
<h3 align="left">The Purpose of Pain</h3>
<p align="left">I don&#8217;t know what life holds for me in the future, but I do know one thing&#8230;</p>
<p align="left">Pain and disappointments are not meant to destroy us, but are meant to guide us and let us know that something about who we are being at that moment needs to change.</p>
<p align="left">And the level of pain, is representative of just how much you need to change and grow. If you are experiencing a lot of hurt in your life, business or relationships, look upon it as a blessing and learn to interpret that pain so you can begin to change what needs to change.</p>
<p align="left">I wish I could tell you that the <a href="http://attractionmarketingformula.com/letter.html"><strong>AMF course</strong></a>, could help you fix what&#8217;s going on inside you. If it did, we&#8217;d probably become very rich, very quickly like many of the self help gurus out there.</p>
<p align="left">What it can help you with is in helping you mature and grow in developing and marketing your business. You may even be able to get away with only doing that and achieve financial freedom&#8230;</p>
<p align="left">But be careful and make sure that your personal growth catches up with your finances. Otherwise, the opposite will happen and your finances, relationships and life will shrink back down to your true state as a person.</p>
<p align="left">It&#8217;s no wonder that my business oscillated up and down for years, before becoming financially independent, alongside my friend and business partner Raymond.</p>
<p align="left">Thinking back to 2003 and 2004, I&#8217;ve come a long way and it seems like an eternity since I cried myself to sleep for many of the nights during those years&#8230;</p>
<p align="left">But I&#8217;m so grateful that it happened and wouldn&#8217;t dream of changing anything about those events. I simply hope that besides the marketing help you receive from us, that this letter has helped you discover something important about yourself.</p>
<p align="left">Genuinely Yours,</p>

- Milo to Ferny at Lake Austin </em></strong></em>         </font></p>
<p>Whew! What a week!?!</p>
<p>Ray and I got back on Tuesday, exhausted from an awesome weekend in Austin, TX. for the Traffic Formula LIVE workshop. It was so great to be in the same room with 100 of the most dedicated network marketers I&#8217;ve ever had the pleasure of meeting.</p>
<p align="center"><img width="502" height="324" border="1" src="http://www.attractionmarketingformula.com/images/tflive/msteam.jpg" /><br />
<span class="style3"><em>MS TEAM: Mike Dillard, Justin Christianson, Ray Fong, Tim Erway, Ferny Ceballos, Craig Allen</em></span></p>
<p>It was even more gratifying hearing their positive responses, watching the the dozens of video testimonials they left us, sharing a few margaritas with them, taking pictures, signing autographs and having them walk out of that weekend with a completed lead generation system for their business.</p>
<p align="center"><img width="490" height="348" border="1" src="http://www.attractionmarketingformula.com/images/tflive/raystudent.jpg" /><br />
<span class="style3"><em>When we said &#8220;hands-on&#8221;, we meant it! </em></span></p>
<p>But as great as the weekend was, not everything went according to plan (nothing every does!) and there were things that happened, which provided us with some very valuable &#8220;lessons learned&#8221;.</p>
<p align="center"><img width="490" height="338" border="1" src="http://www.attractionmarketingformula.com/images/tflive/rayfernydillard.jpg" /><br />
<span class="style3"><em>Ray, Ferny &#038; Mike talking about Email Marketing</em></span></p>
<p>Oddly enough, one of the lessons we gave during the workshop was on &#8220;mistakes&#8221; and how to handle them when their occur in your email marketing.</p>
<p>So I&#8217;m going to give you that lesson and expand on it a little, based on our experiences during that weekend&#8230; which includes my Lake Travis WetBike incident&#8230;</p>
<h3>Traffic Formula LIVE Exclusive &#8211; <em>Lessons Learned </em></h3>
<p>As you start growing your business, something is going to go wrong at some point and maybe make some silly mistakes. We are all human right?.</p>
<p>You&#8217;re going to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Forget to insert a link into your email</li>
<li>Your formatting may get screwed up</li>
<li>You may forget to activate your autoresponder</li>
<li>You may accidentally mis-name the URL of a webpage which you gave out to thousands of people</li>
<li>etc, etc.</li>
</ul>
<p>Murphy&#8217;s law says that whatever can go wrong, will go wrong, so there are endless possibilities for mistakes and while you should always do your best to prevent them, if they do happen you can turn them to your advantage.</p>
<p>But first, you must acknowledge the mistake, correct it and make up for it by creating a lesson out of it or having some fun.</p>
<p>In the martial arts, soft-styles like Judo, Jiu-Jitsu, and Aikido are based on a system of techniques designed to use the momentum and aggression of your opponents to your advantage &#8212; in other words, using the situation to help you meet your objectives, instead of forcing things.</p>
<p>The same with life. &#8220;Jiu-Jitsu&#8221; your way through life &#8211; go with the flow and turn negatives into positives.</p>
<p>Or as Bruce Lee would say, &#8220;Be like whaataah&#8221;.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s much easier and more effective than resisting everything that doesn&#8217;t turn out the way you want it to.</p>
<p>Ok, so here are a few situations and how to make them better, starting with something that happened recently&#8230;</p>
<h3 align="left">Oops #1 &#8211; &#8220;Where&#8217;s My Bootcamp?&#8221;</h3>
<p>You may be one of the folks on this list who opted into the Attraction Marketing 10-Day Bootcamp, but never received what was promised&#8230;</p>
<p>Well, as I was auditing our autoresponder service yesterday, I noticed that our autoresponder sequence had been turned off in our icontact.com back-office. As a result, no new AMF bootcampers received their 10-day bootcamp. (Mistake acknowledged.)</p>
<p>Both Ray and I were mortified and immediately corrected the issue. (Mistake corrected.)</p>
<p>Now, here&#8217;s some advice for you to make sure this doesn&#8217;t happen to you:</p>
<ul>
<li>Subscribe to your own newsletters periodically to make sure your system is functioning the way it should.</li>
<li>If you notice a dip in sales or inquiries from your subscribers, make sure people are getting your emails.</li>
<li>If you are using iContact.com as your autoresponder, know that everytime you add a new email to your sequence, it&#8217;s going to pause your autoresponder and you&#8217;re going to need to re-enable it in the IContact.com back-office.</li>
</ul>
<p>Moving on&#8230;</p>
<h3 align="left">Oops #2 &#8211; China Outlawed Formatting</h3>
<p align="left">A few days ago, Ray had written up some awesome content and had sent it via email while he was traveling in China. Well, something weird happened in that when he hit the send button, it arrived in everyone&#8217;s inbox as a big glob of text, which was impossible to read.</p>
<p align="left">Well, a couple of days later he wrote another piece on <a target="_blank" href="http://www.attractionmarketingformula.com/46peddlers.html">&#8216;beating up Chinese peddlers&#8217;</a>, and I decided to have some fun with it.</p>
<p align="left">So when I sent it the AMF list, I made up a story about the Chinese government having outlawed formatting, which is why the last message came out messed up and I had taken it upon myself to send the current one from AMERICA!</p>
<p align="left">Along with the fact that it was about Ray punching a Chinese peddler, the message went over really well and even got a laughing response from Mike Dillard. (Yes, he does read our emails!)</p>
<h3 align="left">Oops #3 &#8211;   The WetBike Incident</h3>
<p align="left">Finally, you are really going to enjoy this one. It has nothing to do with marketing, but it is about me coming very close to <strong>being eaten up by the propeller</strong> of a large house boat.</p>
<p align="left">After the event, the Magnetic Sponsoring team and a few friends went out on a day trip to Lake Travis and rented a house boat. We rode along the lake, then the house boat anchored and it was time for everyone to swim&#8230;. everyone except me that is.</p>
<p align="left">You see, I&#8217;m not a very good swimmer at all and I haven&#8217;t been in a pool for about 4 years, so I probably wouldn&#8217;t do too well with my limited experience.</p>
<p align="left">Well, after watching everyone else go down a water slide into Lake Travis I became a little envious and Mike&#8217;s friend, Milo, came up with the idea of putting a life jacket on me and having me jump in.</p>
<p align="left">Seemed like a great idea and I agreed.</p>
<p align="left">So we got the life jacket, I strapped it on and down I went on the water slide and into Lake Travis. It seemed to have worked great and I got to &#8220;swim&#8221; around and even took this cool picture of me and Ray in the water:</p>
<p align="center"><img width="482" height="285" border="1" src="http://www.attractionmarketingformula.com/images/tflive/rayfernylake.jpg" /></p>
<p align="left">Well, you can say I got comfortable in the water pretty quickly and one of the other activities which was going on around us was the use of a Wet Bike by the Magnetic Sponsoring crew.</p>
<p align="center"><img width="363" height="211" border="1" src="http://www.attractionmarketingformula.com/images/tflive/jetbike.jpg" /></p>
<p align="left">So when the opportunity presented itself, I hopped on the bike with someone else and off we went, racing around the lake at about 50 mph for about 20 minutes&#8230;. it was hella fun!</p>
<p align="left">But then&#8230;. tragedy struck! Kinda&#8230;</p>
<p align="left">We tipped over after hitting the wake of our own houseboat and into the water we went. The bike was upside down as well and we did manage to turn the bike over and the other person with me was able to get back on the Wet-Bike, but unfortanately I was not able to pull myself up.</p>
<p align="left">Being stuck in the water quickly turned into a rescue operation, where I was being towed back to the boat by hanging on to the back of the WetBike.</p>
<p align="left">As the boat and WetBike came closer together, I soon realized that I was in between the BIG house boat and the WetBike and my head was going to be crushed in between them.</p>
<p align="left">As the boat and WetBike collided, I pushed myself under water, watched the two vessels bounce off each other, while I sucked in some tasty lake water. I came up after a few long seconds, coughed up some water and slowly pulled myself along the side of the boat.</p>
<p align="left"><em>I want to take this opportunity to thank Ray and Mike Dillard for pulling me out of the water and handing me a cold beer to calm my nerves.</em></p>
<p align="left"><strong>Now what&#8217;s the moral of the story?</strong></p>
<p align="left">If you go swimming and riding on a JetBike out on a Lake, make sure you go with friends who have a vested financial interest in keeping you alive. <img src='http://blog.attractionmarketingformula.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p align="left">Mike even offered to buy me swimming lessons. (BTW Mike, when do they start?)</p>
<p align="left">Anyway, going back to the whole &#8216;mistakes&#8217; thing&#8230; know that whatever you do, it&#8217;s better to do something and learn from your mistakes, than to wait for everything to be perfect and never do it at all.</p>
<p align="left">And for the record, I have no regrets about getting in the water. It was hella fun and I have some awesome friends looking out for me!</p>
<p align="left">Oddly enough, in the <a href="http://www.attractionmarketingformula.com/letter.html"><strong>Attraction Marketing Formula course</strong></a>, there&#8217;s an awesome chapter on how we turned our Martial Arts Master into a YouTube celebrity and got him over 500,000 video views in less than a year.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.attractionmarketingformula.com/letter.html"><img width="137" height="75" border="0" src="http://www.attractionmarketingformula.com/images/youtube.gif" /></a></p>
<p align="left">The exposure from the video marketing has transformed his business, but one of the <strong>most valuable parts of that chapter is what we would have done differently to have maximized our results &#8212; our lessons learned</strong>.</p>
<p align="left">Learning from the mistakes of your mentors and leaders is some of the most valuable information you can gain and also spares you the grief, time and money of going through it yourself.</p>
<p align="left">Then you can pass on that experience to others. The more you do and learn, the more wisdom you can offer others and the more people you will attract to your business.</p>
<p align="left">To Falling Forward,</p>

<p align="left">Oh wow, if you haven&#8217;t ever visited Shanghai, you should definitely do yourself a favor and check it out some day.</p>
<p align="left">The history and culture is extensive, the food amazing and a  bit &#8220;<em>different</em>&#8221; at times (I just had a duck and a snapping turtle in the same sitting and washed both of them down with some local beer), and the way of the people quite intriguing.</p>
<p align="left">Being in the land of shopping and bargaining and being the  marketer that I am, <strong>you bet I am paying close  attention to the sales tactics being demonstrated here at Yu Bazaar</strong>.</p>

<p align="left">What I&#8217;ve discovered is that what works for Chinese peddlers  selling Gucci knock-offs <strong>will not work  for you as a network marketer</strong>.</p>
<p align="left">Let&#8217;s examine.</p>
<p align="left">The streets of Yu Bazaar are flanked by little stalls and holes-in-the-wall stores selling everything from purses, suits, children toys, to antiques.  As my girlfriend and I were walking around, taking in the bustling streets, <strong>we were approached countless number of times by peddlers selling  knock-offs</strong>.</p>
<p align="left">The first time it happened my girlfriend yelped and <u>almost  punched the poor guy in the face</u>.  I can&#8217;t blame her.  Heck, I was about to punch the guy in the face myself.  You see, the guy crept up on us out of nowhere from behind.</p>
<p align="left">As we were walking from one stall to another, he somehow  managed to sneak up RIGHT behind us and said &#8220;<em>watches, sunglasses, bags</em>***&#8221; in his broken and heavily accented English (never mind that we were not in the market for watches, sunglasses, nor bags).</p>
<p align="left"><strong>We were like, &#8220;<em>Holy gazooks where&#8217;d this guy come from?</em>&#8220;</strong>  He could&#8217;ve just as easily have said, &#8220;<em>Give me your money – I am robbing you.</em>&#8220;</p>
<h2 align="left">The Mistakes That Almost Got Him a  Bloody Nose</h2>
<p align="left">Now you see why he almost got socked in the face?  These are just a few of the mistakes he made:</p>
<div align="left">
<ol>
<li>He vouched for the <em>ninjitsu sneak attack</em> – preying on the unsuspecting prospects (my  girlfriend and myself) and taking us by total surprise</li>
<li>He didn&#8217;t even determine if we were in the right  market and therefore, wasted a perfectly good ninjitsu move</li>
<li>He muttered some phrases and thereby giving us  the impression (rightfully so) that he was doing something sneaky and thereby, <strong>turning us off instantly</strong> (granted  English was obviously not his first language but you get the point)</li>
</ol>
</div>
<h2 align="left">Eerily Similar Isn&#8217;t It?</h2>
<p align="left">You might laugh but sadly, that&#8217;s very close to the same approach some network marketers take when it comes to prospecting.  They are sweating bullets when it comes time to prospect.   They think that if they come unnoticed on their unsuspecting prospect, it&#8217;s a <strong>good</strong> thing.</p>
<p align="left"><strong>WRONG.</strong></p>
<p align="left">If you sneak up on your prospect, right away you trip your prospect&#8217;s defense mechanism and all he/she can think about are to either punch you in the face and/or start running.</p>
<p align="left"><strong>Either way it&#8217;s bad  business <img src='http://blog.attractionmarketingformula.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </strong></p>
<p align="left">Of course, then we come to the question of whom they tend to  prospect.   Whom do they target?  <em>Everyone  and anyone that breathes and moves.</em>   They think that they should prospect and sponsor everyone from their  mother to their neighbor&#8217;s godson&#8217;s pet parrot.</p>
<p align="left">As you may know from studying <a href="http://www.attractionmarketingformula.com/letter.html">Attraction Marketing Formula</a>, <strong>that&#8217;s a huge no-no</strong>.  Why waste your time on the looky-loos?  Why bother with the tire-kickers?  Wouldn&#8217;t it be great if there&#8217;s a way to filter them all out <em>before</em> you waste  one breath talking to them?</p>
<p align="left">Gawd, imagine if some tourists at Yu Bazaar actually wore huge  tags around their necks that said &#8220;<em>looking  for watches, sunglasses, and bags</em>&#8220;.  How  much easier it would&#8217;ve been for our lil&#8217; &#8220;ninja&#8221; friend eh?  Unfortunately that&#8217;s not the case for  him.</p>
<h2 align="left">But There&#8217;s Hope&#8230;</h2>
<p align="left"><u>However, for you as a network marketer, that&#8217;s totally  possible and realistic with the approaches we share with you in</u> <a href="http://www.attractionmarketingformula.com/letter.html">Attraction Marketing Formula</a>.</p>
<p align="left">And what about the whole concept of posture?</p>
<p align="left">Obviously our ninja friend had none as not only was he muttering but he also looked obviously nervous and out of place (duh, he was selling illegal knock-offs).  <strong>Again, think about how some network  marketers approach their prospects.</strong>   Do they talk to them with complete confidence and total composure?  Do they speak as if <em>they</em> are the ones with something of value to offer and are the ones  doing their prospects a favor?</p>
<p align="left"><strong>Odds are, no.  </strong></p>
<p align="left">What tends to happen more often than not is that network  marketers speak with hesitation and are just shy of <em>begging</em> their prospects to join them.  Heck<strong>, the network marketers themselves have no idea what they got into – let alone trying to explain to their prospects what they would be getting into&#8230;</strong></p>
<p align="left"><u>And people wonder why there is a stigma surround MLMs and  how they are nothing but pyramid schemes.</u></p>
<p align="left">Wouldn&#8217;t you also wonder the same thing if some dude pulled a ninja teleporting act right to the back of your head and start muttering something about &#8220;<em>home business  opportunity</em>&#8221; and &#8220;<em>getting rich</em>&#8220;?</p>
<h2 align="left">This is What You Need to Do</h2>
<p align="left">See, what you need to do is not only filter out your  prospects but when you <em>do</em> find a real  prospect you also need to show some posture.  <strong>You need to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the opportunity to join you, your team, and the business opportunity you have to offer is of tremendous value</strong>; and you need to  communicate this clearly.</p>
<p align="left">(Better yet, let a <a href="http://www.attractionmarketingformula.com/">MLM capture page</a> do this  for you online.)</p>
<p align="left">I do have to admit, after we finally got use to the idea of having random people pop up behind us when we aren&#8217;t looking and muttering &#8220;<em>watches, sunglasses, bags</em>&#8220;, curiosity  got the better of us and we went for a little walk&#8230;</p>
<p align="left">But that&#8217;s a whole different story with entirely different  lessons for another time.</p>
<p align="left">For now, all I can say is that while these Chinese peddlers  may not be able to benefit from <a href="http://www.attractionmarketingformula.com/letter.html"><strong>Attraction Marketing Formula</strong></a> and learn how to  harness the internet to enhance their businesses, <strong>there is absolutely nothing that stands between you and that knowledge</strong>.</p>
<p align="left"><u>It&#8217;s time you stop risking getting  a bloody nose and two black eyes</u>, it&#8217;s  time you give your prospecting strategy and business an upgrade.  <strong>Take  it online and let <a href="http://www.attractionmarketingformula.com/letter.html">Attraction Marketing Formula</a> help you save time and make more  money!</strong></p>
<p align="left"><em>*** China is famous (or notorious depending on how you look at it) for selling famous brand knock-offs such as Chanel sunglasses, Rolex watches (we call them &#8220;Folexes&#8221;), Gucci purses, etc. ***</em></p>
