Here’s the link to Bob Proctor’s Birthday Website: http://snurl.com/l2t6z

I met Bob Proctor in Las Vegas in 2007. Since then, I have come to learn a lot from this man through his books and programs. We’ve also had the opportunity to become business partners on 3 separate occasions. Although he’s turning 75, he has more energy, drive and enthusiasm than most 25 year olds I know.

After 40 years of learning and teaching personal growth, I believe this man is a living example of how powerful the Law of Attraction and positive thinking can be to your health, finances and family.

So, do drop by and wish him a Happy Birthday and if you get a chance, do read his books and study his programs. Or even better yet, go and see this man live! His wisdom will really change your life for the better!

You see, I’m currently managing another blog at www.QuanLife.com so its been a bit challenging to manage quality posts for both sites at the moment! Check out my other blog sometime.

What have I been busy with lately?

Well, our re-launch of the SGR Program went off to a great start! Over half a million is sales in just just 3 weeks! I’m very very pleased with that and I am super busy taking care of the affiliate training for that program! (There’s nothing like helping others to succeed!)

On the volunteer front, I just recently spent the weekend teaching about 150 teenage kids about the laws of success and how I use a special formula to manifest things in my life! This was a special event organized by the Rotary Club and I was glad to be the keynote speaker this year.

Here’s a picture of me explaining the power of the mind to create our reality:

I’m really excited for these kids. I wish I knew what I know now when I was 17!! Well, I gave it my all to pass on the knowledge these enthusiastic teenagers. I’m sure some of them will go on to do AMAZING things in the near future! :)

Here’s a another picture of these teenagers furiously setting their goals for the future during the guided goal setting process:

What’s next on my plate?

Well, just to let the cat out of bag a little - I’m working on an AMAZING project that I am super excited about. Most of my long time readers would know that I’ve been a strong advocate for affiliate marketing and most of you know I earn a great “semi-passive” income from creating Adwords campaigns to my affiliate sites. Just a few hours a week to earn a 5 figure income each month is a pretty sweet arrangement.

For this new project - I’ve got the best programmers to design a series of related software programs to essentially REPLICATE my model of making money online! So with this new program, ANYONE can copy my results by a few clicks and not having to know any programming or HTML! Isn’t that cool??

Well, that’s all I can say for now but we plan to have this software out by the end of the month or perhaps in early July!

Stay tuned for more updates!

Now, I’m having a hard time explaining this in words so just go ahead and click on the link below (it will open your Twitter account in a new window):

Get the idea?

There are a lot of applications for this technique. You can add it to a blog post or a webpage. Then send a Tweet out to your followers. This message could be forwarded really quickly all throughout the Twitterverse! Try it and see.

So how do you do this for your own blog or website?

Here Are The Steps:

Step 1:
Go to Twitter and type the message that you want “Retweeted”. Make sure that it’s within the 140 character limit. In the example above, the ReTweet message is this:

Step 2:
Go http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/html/topics/urlencoding.htm and convert the text into a “URL-Safe” encoding format.

Basically, the tool converts this:

To this:

Step 3:
Add this link to the beginning of your message:

http://twitter.com/home?status=

In the example above, the URL would be:

Now all you need to do is create a hyperlink with that URL. You could leave it as a text link or use an image like what I did in the example above.

Like it? Leave a comment below and Retweet it please by clicking the link!

One of my all time favorites is Jerry Maquire. Why? In 90% of the movie, all you get exposed to is his failure after failure while he is pursuing something he believes in. It’s only in the last 10% of the movie, when he succeeds and finds the love in his life, that makes the entire movie complete and a success. I feel this is very true in life in that the sweetness and satisfaction of the win is in proportion to the struggle to get there.

Watch it again and see if it still moves you.

However, my major take away lesson from this movie is this - Success is not just about achieving your goal or making the money. Its about getting the “Quan”. What is the “Quan”? Watch this clip to find out:

Have you ever received an interesting email and forwarded it to your friends?  You know, like a funny joke or a breaking news item that you thought would be of interest to your friends so you hit the “forward” button on your email client to pass that message on. That’s kind of what “retweeting” is except in this case it applies to Twitter messages rather than an email.

With an email message, your friends can see who wrote the original email in the email headers. However, on Twitter, you need to add the following text immediately preceding the repeated message: “RT @username” to denote who you received the original Twitter message from.

You can use “RT” or “Retweet” to let your friends know that the message is a retweet. The “@username” is the Twitter ID of the originator of the message.

Here’s what a retweet will look like (I’m using Thwirl as my Twitter client):

Why Bother to Retweet?

Retweeting interesting messages has many benefits for both the person being “retweeted”, the person doing the “retweeting” and the Twitter community as a whole.

The benefits to the person being “retweeted” are as follows:

1. The original message will be passed on to a different circle of friends that would otherwise not see that message at all.
2. Because the username of the originator is being passed on in the form of the “@username” attribute, that person may gain new followers as a result of people being interested in the type of message being forwarded.

These benefits are obvious, but what are the benefits of the person doing the “retweet”?

1. Increase your profile. By retweeting, you demonstrate that you know how to retweet and that you are a more advanced Twitter user to your followers. This will help you retain your followers who may think of you more highly than someone that merely posts meandering Tweets about mundane things. (Like when you brush your teeth for example!).
2. Build goodwill with your followers. If you retweet good content, you spread goodwill to your followers who appreciate receiving useful news or content. Again, this increases the retention of your followers.
3. Build goodwill with the originator. Every time you retweet, the originator is notified of your message. Meaning, the person being retweeted will get the message in their “@ replies” inbox. This will increase the chances of the originator following you (if they are not already following you) or they may very well return the favor and retweet some of your more interesting tweets!

What are the benefits to the entire Twitter community?

Well, when the majority of Twitter users are accustomed to “retweeting” important news items to a point where news is spread very quickly from the original source to the entire Twitter community, then Twitter could possibly supersede regular news channels.

Think of a flock of sparrows or a school of fish. When the first sparrow or fish senses danger and reacts, the entire flock or school reacts as well. The message or news is spread very quickly making the entire flock or school better than any single sparrow or fish.

How to Retweet?

If you are using Twitter.com, retweeting involves copying the original message, pasting it in a new Twitter message, then adding the “RT @username” before the original message.

Most “pro” level Twitter users, use dedicated Twitter applications like Twhirl or TwitterFon on their mobile device to access their Twitter account. Most of these services have a “retweet” button that automatically adds the “RT @username” prefix to the message.

Here’s three simple steps to “retweet” using TwitterFon:

Step 1:

Step 2:

Step 3:

How to Increase Your Probability of Being Retweeted?

If you want to make it easy for your followers to retweet your messages, you need to remember something very important. Twitter only allows 140 characters. Therefore, the message that you want retweeted needs to be shorter than:

140 – (Username Characters + 5)
(the 5 characters is for the “@” the “:” and spaces)

If your message has more characters than the number above, when your follower tries to “retweet” you message, they will be over the character limit and therefore will not be able to retweet your message without editing it (which they probably won’t bother to do).

So some simple rules here if you want your message to be “retweeted” are:

1. Keep your tweet short. Use the formula above to find your character limit
2. Make it useful, unique and relevant
3. “Retweet” often yourself

When to Retweet?

There’s no rulebook for this. You just need to have a general feel for what your followers want.

Personally, I feel that you should only “retweet”:

• time-sensitive, breaking-news-type of messages,
• links to useful resources that can add value to your followers, or
• very entertaining messages that are either funny or insightful quotes.

Like I said, there’s no hard and fast rule for this. Just make sure you do not “retweet” too many times in a short space of time. This applies to normal “tweets” as well.
I get pretty annoyed when someone tweets too often. They appear to be “conversation hogs” to me because we all get a 140-character limit and excessive tweeting feels as though the person is trying to monopolize my conversation.

Conclusion

Retweeting is a good thing. Its good for you and for the whole Twitter community. If you are already accustomed to “retweeting”, good on you! If not, there’s no better time to start than right now. Why not retweet this message to spread the word about retweeting? ;)
