Something most of you probably already know about, but might
not think about too much, because of all the excitement in
this business.

You notice how myself and others behind the screen, percieved
what one follower has written as a comment. Now after talking
to him, it actually means something a little different, but
has negative and positive sides to it. But thats ok.

As a marketer with a list, all of you that have taken a lot of
time to get your traffic, so now you want to start marketing
to them.

The ways you market are by autoresponder, email, outside
sources such as regular mail,special delivery,blogs, etc.

This site is one of a kind, It teaches you about getting
traffic, making money, copywritng, and much more. No one
else in this business gives you this information for
absolutley nothing.

I remember when I first got into this business, which really
wasn’t that long ago, about 3 years now. This Traffic
Information, that you are getting for free, didn’t exist.

Nobody was giving out this kind of amazing information, that
didn’t cost a cent. There were traffic membership courses
that were very expensive, way out of my price range.
That was just to get traffic secrets.

Here on Henry Gold’s blog you get much much more, for nothing.

I applaud all of you who are sticking with Henry and his
Apprentices, who write posts as well, and use this information.

You see…  after all these years, I found out that Internet
marketing has NOT changed, it is the same as it was 10 years
ago. It has not changed even a small amount. In fact, I can
tell you at this moment that whatever I used 10 years ago,
I am still using today.

Of course…

The technology has changed drastically.
The web 1.0 has expired.
The web 2.0 has dominated the way people do business.

However, the process of buying, selling, and driving
traffic REMAINS the same. This is WHY I am wondering
WHY many marketers are still NOT utilizing the same
tricks I am.

After six months of research, I  made an important
conclusion about the reason, I received MASSIVE TRAFFIC
to my site. Most importantly, you can do it too!

In the world of making money from home, most gurus will
tell you to avoid words and phrases that are associated
with hard work. For example, instead of saying learn (ouch!)
we are told to use the term ‘Discover’ because it sounds
less like work and more like something that comes easily.

But here’s the truth…

Whether you are looking to make money or get more traffic,

(or both since one pretty much leads to the other)

There is one dirty, painful word you need to hear and
understand.

It is really NOT because I know everything.

It is SOMETHING else. Something bigger than what you have
thought in the past. It is to focus on your core genius.
It is to focus on your inner-self.

You see… In the past, I LOVED to work on my own. I tried
to be everything to everyone. However, the perception itself
has changed. I am NO LONGER a one-man operation.

I do NOT focus on programming.
I do NOT focus on designing.
I do NOT focus on copywriting.
I do NOT focus on day-to-day operations.

INSTEAD, I focus on what I am good at. That’s WRITING and
strategic planning. In fact, whenever an opportunity arises,
where it does NOT meet with my core genius’s standard,
I do NOT hesitate to refuse the project.

I can SEE clearly why my business SURVIVED.
I can SEE clearly why my business FAILED.
I can SEE clearly how my business TOOK OFF.

One of the biggest reasons is PLANNING. I remembered the
day that I was planning my business, the give away campaign,
117ChristmasGifts.com TOOK OVER the Internet marketing
industry by STORM.

This is all due to proper planning, which included the type
of servers we should use, how many JVs we should invite,
how do people receive subscribers from our site, the steps
we need to take for the launch, and much more.

This has BEEN properly thought of far before we LAUNCHED the
website. This was the reason of that successful campaign
of ours.

Some blog posts were referring to Internet marketing SUCKS.
Guru Terrible. This marketer and that marketer are all
IDIOTS. Then, at the end, they simple tell others…

“Well, I am the BEST, You should LISTEN to Me”

Seriously, when I read this post, I want to be an online
marketer blog, I was thinking if these so-called marketers
are PEOPLE who truly make money online?

Well… Because I do. Does it mean I am a jerk?

That’s ABSOLUTELY INSANE!

I mean, many of my friends DO make five figure and SOME make
six figure per month. (YES! Not per year). Does that mean
they are a jerks also? Absolutely NOT!

They are a good people to me. I hang out and network with
them during my offtime. However, when we are in the tasks,
we WORK LIKE CRAZY. In fact, when I wrote this comment
of mine, it is 1:40 AM <== This is MORNING!

Even though we are, we could NOT even stop. We just keep
moving forward. We try our best to meet the deadlines. We
prepared the apprenticeship program at 3:00 AM, we made
sure that our business would MEET the expectations.

When we say the words “MEET EXPECTATIONs”, some people may
understand it as a way to meet other people’s expectations,
or meet customer expectations, and so on.

But what Gina and I think about it is really different. We
do NOT try to be better than our competitors, alliances,
or customers. However, we are TRYING to be better than
ourselves. Why is that?

When we are trying to be BETTER THAN OURSELVES, we look at
ourself NOT from the prospective of how we are better than
others, but how we are better than our egos and expectations.

One of the ideas that I heard from one of the attendees
was…

“Henry, there are many people who would like to do
business in China or India, what should I do
to tap into this HOT market?”

He then explained about how China and India will take over
the world. How people will miss out the train if they do not
tap into it right now.

When I listened to his comments, I was just shaking my head,
I knew he Was NOT on the right track.

He is what I called, “China or India Syndrome“.

This type of syndrome will NOT only lead into failure, but
it will also distract you from your ulitmate goal, which is
reaching financial freedom.

Look. When I came out with the Give Away concept,
117ChristmasGifts.com back in the year 2004, many people
were regretting that they did not participate. Some of those
marketers were even trying to copycat this idea immediately
WITHOUT even thinking twice on improving it.

This makes me realize how short life can be.

Think about this for a moment. We always think about
our problems as something that ruins our day. We
always want the world to understand how painful
the situation is, we are currently experiencing
in our life.

What you do NOT understand is…

“Life is Way Too Short, to Worry or Sweat
Little Things in Your Life”

Look, If you have read the Make1Million.com’s Package,
you know how it emphasizes on time, and time is equal to
life. In addition, I have mentioned the average lifespan
of human being is about 70 years.

In other words, if you are 28 years old, you may ONLY
have 42 years to play the game. The adventure. The
empire you would like to build in your life.

However, when I heard about the death of Anna Nicole
Smith, I was in SHOCK.
