Grab A Combination Of All My Best Stuff...

2013-05-07T14:52:59-04:00

I understand you're probably in a rush, so let me get right to the point...

Over the past 6-12 months, I've made several of my products available for resell or private labeling, which allows you to take them and sell them as your own.

I've limited the number of packages I've made available (100, 200, etc.) each time, but over the course of time, never completely sold out.

That being said, I still have 37 10 copies (out of the original 100) of The Action Machine Reseller Package available, along with some of my other private label, reseller products which also never sold out.

As a result, I've decided to combine the best of it all and make it available one last time.

Here's what I've put together for you...

1. You Get: The Action Machine V3 Reseller Package

What Does The Reseller Package Include:

A world-class productivity software application (both Windows and Mac versions)
A fully-illustrated user's guide for answering virtually all of your customers' questions
A simple and customizable sales and download page, so you can be up-and-running in no time!
2 high-resolution Clarity Maps that can be given away as bonuses (see below for more info)
Rights to sell your version for as much as you want - with you keeping all the profits
Rights to package your reseller version of the software with another product
Rights to include your reseller version as part of a membership site
A brandable/customizable version of the Action Unleashed! ebook
My personal email address for any inquiries you may have

What Can You Do With It?

Sell individual copies for any price you want, and keep all the profits - I've been successfully selling The Action Machine on the Web for several years at $47.00. With your own reseller version, you can do the same, if you want. Charge less, charge more, charge a lot more - you decide. No matter what price you set, you get to keep every penny you make! Think of what selling a measly 100 - 200 copies at $47.00, or even $97.00 would do for your bottom-line.
Create an ebook or video series about helping people be more productive, include it with the course - Talk about a 1-2 punch! Combining a course about productivity (in the form of an ebook or even something including videos) with a unique piece of software such as The Action Machine/Generator creates a blockbuster product that stands out in the crowd.
Include it in a membership site - Great membership sites are built around useful content and valuable tools. Being productive is a universal skill that members of virtually any membership site could benefit from. Give your members one of the best and most intuitive tools for helping them take action and see results!

Give it away as an incentive to get people to opt-in into your list - Want to add a ton of people to your list? A branded version of The Day Launcher System is a great incentive.

A New Direction!

Last year, I launched a project that I was really excited about - a site named PushMaps.com.

The idea behind the project was to create infographics related to life strategies and sell them.

Quickly into the project, I discovered several issues:

Charging didn't work - Infographics (at least the ones I wanted to create) are meant to be free!
It wasn't sustainable - My design approach for the infographics needed more unity and simplicity - I was creating each one as a totally unique design, which wasn't going to be sustainable, for me - especially considering I have over 500 map ideas. :-)
The map ideas needed restructured - As a result of Point #2, all the content for my map ideas needed restructuring, and that needed to be ironed out before any new maps where created... and it was a BIG job!
'PushMaps' didn't work - I didn't like the name PushMaps after all.
TypePad didn't work - My blogging service, TypePad, just wasn't fullfilling my needs for this project.

As a result of all this, I decided to scrap the whole thing, and start from scratch (mostly).

That's why I'm now announcing the launch of LifeMaps (at www.getlifemaps.com).

What's new/different?

The maps are free!
There are now Themes - You're going to see, as I release more maps, that there are themes for the maps. Themes include mindsets, tools, strategies, projects, systems, and several more. When I create a map, it will be designed with a theme in mind, which will bring more unity and simplicity to the whole project
There's a new name - The maps are now known as LifeMaps - I like this better, and I hope you do, too! :-)
I went with Blogger - I've decided to use Blogger for the new site for a couple reasons. It's simple (there aren't 1000's of plug-ins that I could be tempted to use to mess up its simplicity), it integrates really well with YouTube, Google Drive, and Google+, and it automatically generates a mobile site.

In addition, IF the new site takes off like I expect it to, I will be devoting a considerable amount of my time and resources to it - which includes doing things such as:

Creating new maps and videos
Creating custom maps for others (let me know if you're interested)
Hosting Google+ Hangouts for Q&A's
Accepting guest posts
Maintaining a regular newsletter
And more...

Check out the new site (www.getlifemaps.com)

Download some free maps, watch some videos,
learn something, and share your feedback!

Finally, next week you're going to be hearing from me several times with some other stuff I hope you'll find valuable.

'A Whole Lot Of Awesome' Digest: March 2013

2013-03-15T16:24:18-04:00

I know it's a bit late (I've taken some time off from my business lately), but here's a bunch of stuff I posted and collected for the month of February.

Some Quick Updates...

What am I working on these days? As I mentioned last month, I'm currently working on developing a single, unified approach to sharing the maps, tools, and other products I create. There's a lot of experimenting and trial and error that goes into this process for me (it's a bit slow going), but my vision for what I have in mind is getting clearer each day, and I believe that I'm close to having something nailed down. You know me, when I have something to share, you'll see it here! :-)
The Copywriter's Brain - I had hoped to make the Copywriter's Brain site/product for sale in February, but had to reschedule that. So if you're interested in owning the whole thing (product, site, etc.) check out the site to see what it's all about, and keep your eyes open for news about it soon.
The Action Machine Reseller Offer - If you'd like to sell the Action Machine as a reseller, there are still some slots still open.

Awesome Ideas From derekfranklinonline.com

Here's a handy list of posts for the month of February.

When you find something useful, or that you like, please share it with others (using the Share buttons below each post) and leave a comment as well. I appreciate it! :)

1 Idea x 30 Days x Life = Mind-blowing Results - Instead of just reading and bookmarking great ideas and strategies you discover, here's a concrete way to integrate them into your life!

A Simple Trick To Ignite Positive Energy And Motivation

2013-02-21T12:10:49-05:00

I'd like to share with you a couple of my favorite vacation photos (there's a reason I'm doing this, so stick with me)...

This first image was taken on a train as me and my wife Kathy traveled through Switzerland in 2011:

The next image was taken while we were visiting the Grand Canyon, also in 2011 (I'll tell you about the dog in a moment)

Anyone who knows me, knows that I LOVE taking pictures like these. WHY?

Because I know I'm capturing good, positive memories that I can use as a 'force for good' later on.

What do I mean?

Well, I've found that when I want some extra motivation, or when I just want to feel great, there are few things that help me to get there better or faster than a review of some of the photos I've taken though the years.

A great photo, or even a handful of photos (print or digital) can instantly take my mind and emotions to a point in my life when I was caught in a moment of awesomeness - and I get to relive it!

I nearly always come away with almost as much satisfaction and gratitude about the experience as I had when I originally lived it.

Talk about a valuable, worthy, and positive use of time.

Think about it... when you take pictures, aren't you really trying to capture a memory, and all the colors, objects, people, and feelings that were part of it?

What good are those captured memories if all you do is post them online and forget about them?

Instead, make good use of them to ignite in you a force for good (good feelings, thoughts, and actions).

Here are some simple suggestions for using your photos in this way:

Remember the Journey - Think about the drive from one place to the next, or the places you visited - why you went there, how they looked, what you saw when you got there. The more details you remember, the better!
Remember the Stories - Recall any interesting or enjoyable moments you experienced along the way. For example, in the second photo above, the dog actually belonged to the strangers we asked to take the picture. He was friendly, and we thought it would be cool to include him in our photo, so we asked his owners, they took the picture, and we had a short, but enjoyable conversation with them afterward.
Remember the Feelings - Feel the feelings you were experiencing (happiness, excitement, calm, peace, contentment, etc.) as strong as you possibly can.

When's a good time to do this?

For Entertainment - Turn off the TV and entertain yourself for 20-30 minutes by reliving one of your vacations instead.
As A Constant Reminder Of The Awesomeness In Your Life - Every day, pick a single photo and spend a few minutes trying to recall all the thoughts and feelings surrounding the memory captured in it.
For Motivation And Positive Energy - We all have moments when we're down or feeling unmotivated...this is a great time relive a positive memory in order to change your state from one of weakness and negativity to one of power and positivity!

Try this, and share your experiences below.

5 Minute Walks...Little Effort - BIG Results!

2013-02-13T11:58:36-05:00

Walking...

It's one of the most basic skills in life - so basic and so ordinary that it's easy to overlook it for more than what it seems to be...a simple way to get around your world.

But, I've recently discovered it's more than that, and I'd like to share with you some of the effects that it has had on me and my life.

I have a moderately active life and very good health. Despite that, I sit a lot, and felt I needed a little something extra in my daily routine to ensure that my clear thinking and good health continue as long as possible.

I wanted to intentionally add some sort of physical activity that:

Was simple to do
Could be done anytime
Didn't require equipment or expense

Walking seemed to be the obvious choice.

Now, at first glance, most people might think, 'Walking?!? That's so basic, what I'm going to do to add more activity to my life is spend an hour in the gym 5 days a week!'

That's a nice goal to shoot for...eventually. But it's that kind of thinking that prevents people from making long-term positive changes - they try to make a drastic change in their life all at once (like expecting to go from zero activity to fitness fanatic in a week), only to find out that the drastic change approach works for about 3-4 days, before they give up and go back to their old ways again.

What a waste of time!

I'm a HUGE believer in the power and success of making small changes over time.

Why? Because small changes are believable, sustainable, and they can be increased slowly over time - if you stick with them.

Small changes, done consistently, create HUGE differences!

With that in mind, I started to walk (with intensity and speed) every day (I wanted to get my heart-rate up).

Here was my simple plan:

Days 1-3: Walk with intensity and speed for 1 minute
Days 3-7: Walk with intensity and speed for 3 minutes
Days 8-14: Walk with intensity and speed for 5 minutes
Days 15+: Gradually add more time, and more hills, stairs, and other challenges

NOTE: The key is to walk with intensity and speed, just in case you missed that. :-)

It may not seem like much (especially the seemingly 'ridiculous' 1 minute a day approach), but I've stuck with it, and I'm happy to report the following (noticeable) benefits after reaching 5 minutes a day:

Clarity - Thinking, decision-making, problem-solving, and creativity have ALL improved
Positivity - I feel better, happier, and more confident
Action - Even though I'm a very disciplined person when it comes to taking action, the increase in energy that I have has had a dramatic effect on my ability to produce - more energy = more doing!

In a nutshell: I knew that this simple change would have a positive impact, I just didn't anticipate it being so noticeable, so quickly - which is awesome!

Not only that, but while you walk, you're involved in an activity that's so automatic that you can easily spend the time thinking, appreciating, or affirming - think of these as bonuses!

In closing, I'd like to recommend you try this yourself!

It's simple, doable, fun, and it's a small change that you can make that could lead to BIG, positive effects in your thinking, emotions, and ability to get things done!
