Hiya,

Once again, here we are again. Welcome to those of
you who are new and welcome back to those of you
who are kind enough to continue supporting our ezine
despite the erratic schedule of getting it out to you. I
sure do appreciate your support. :)

I'm still enjoying my new school. Just recently, I
earned first chair in our band's flute section. For those
of you who are not familiar with the term "first chair"
in a band setting, it just means that I am the
principal flute player in the band for now. It's always
subject to change as the band director sees fit.

I had a wonderful week last week! We'd had our chair
auditions on Friday and we had the results last Monday
morning. Later in the day, I rushed home to check my
email box because I had a feeling there would be more
good news and my friend Cathy Hudson made President's
Club! One of my music classes had prayed for Cathy's
promotion and for the right people to earn the right chairs
in the band's chair auditions. Both of my prayers were answered
in the same day! It only goes to prove I'm in the right school. :)

On that note, I'm going to go ahead and sign off for this week.
I've got an extra-long ezine for you to keep you busy for
awhile. I hope you enjoy it. As always, your feedback is
welcome! Please see the end of the ezine for the subscriber
submissions address.

Have a wonderful week!

Warmest Regards,

Dawn Allen

10 Killer Ways To Keep Your Profits Rolling!

by Larry Dotson

1. Give people a free online utility. When you offer
a utility that can solve a person's problem, people
will definitely visit your web site.


2. Offer a free affiliate/reseller program. When you
offer people a free opportunity to make money they
will line up to visit your web site.


3. Supply news stories related to your site. People
want current news on the topics they are interested
in. You could also include new "how to" articles.


4. Offer your visitors a free community. People like
to have a place were they can have discussions with
others on a particular subject.


5. Make people feel safe when they order. Explain
to them you won't sell their e-mail address and all
their personal information will be kept confidential.


6. Offer free samples or trials of your product. This
will let people experience your product and attract
people to your web site.


7. Make your ad copy attractive. Your ad should
lists benefits before the features. Include guarantees

8. Remind people to come back and visit your site.
They usually don't purchase the first time. The more
times they visit, the greater the chance they'll buy.


9. Let people know anything about your business
history. They'll feel more comfortable if they know
who they are buying from.


10. Give people as many ordering options. Accept

"ABOUT GIVING UP..."!
Written By: Darren Roberts
Copyright © 2000, All Rights Reserved

______________________________________________


Interesting title really, "About Giving Up." What on earth
is there about giving up that's so important? Giving up
equates to no longer trying, losing face, not reaching your
goal, avoiding success, letting yourself down, throwing in
the towel, and ultimately, failing.

Ouch! There's that word. Let's shorten it to fail. There we
have it - another four lettered word which we don't like.
However, unlike the other four lettered words this one has
ongoing negative effects which don't just relate to the
present but have serious negative connotations for the
future as well.

To fail is a situation we all know too well. We have all
done it to varying degrees. It is a direct result of giving
up trying. You have absolutely no chance of success if you
give up. This is counter to all of our beliefs and desires.
So why would we give up?

Here is a list of possible reasons but really why we give up
on ourselves can only be answered by ourselves individually.

* Did I set my expectations too high? (c)

* Is the task simply too difficult?

* Did I perceive it as too easy therefore didn't put
the necessary ground work in (c)

* Was I really not at all interested? (c)

* Did I have something (apparently) better to do?

* Was it as important as I had at first thought? (c)

* Did I get the support I needed?

* Did the task change too quickly for me and I
couldn't keep up? (c)

* Was my belief either not strong enough or non
existent?

* Was it out of my league from the beginning? (c)

* Was I under resourced?

* Did I have insurmountable opposition?

* Did I just look for the easiest option? (c)

* Did I err on my calculations? (c)

* Did my staff respect me as I would liked them to
have done? (c)

* Was my illness too great?

* Did I simply not give it my best shot? (c)

Okay - there's a list of 20 odd potential reasons why anyone
would give up. Are any of them valid? Those that are can be
reasons. Those that aren't are excuses. Excuses are
inexcusable.Reasons can be those out of your control such as
weather patterns or politics to those that you can control
such as: "Did I simply not give it my best shot"?

I could write a full length book on the concept of failure
alone- maybe I will at some point in the future but today I
would like to concentrate on the factors you control and
their impact onto what leads us to give up.

Take the above example ("Did I simply not give it my best
shot"?) It is an honest question. Did you put your best foot
forward at all times? Giving up happens when we no longer
have the self-confidence to maintain persistence in
achieving the task at hand. Ordinarily such a result is
sourced from incredible amounts of negative energy and/or
negative results.

Giving up doesn't happen because you're bored. If it does
then you must doubt your reasoning for its commencement in
the first place. Your tasks and goals need to be as much
within your control as possible. If you are constantly
subjected to State, Local & Federal Government Regulations
then you are going to find that you spend an awful amount of
time with compliance rather than actually expanding your
business or whatever it is you actually are doing.

Similarly if you are trying to put a deal together and you
don't have company control then you'll end up negotiating
with the Company Bigwigs extensively before even get to the
dealing table. All of these distractions can weight heavily
on you and negate your energies for what you had planned to
use them for.

Of course if weather affects what you do and is rarely
favorable then it is only prudent to switch to something
where you won't have to go into combat every day. My point
is you need to bring as many facets as possible into your
control. This way your energy can be optimized as you tackle
those tasks that are more important to you rather than deal
with aspects that are out of your control.

Pursuing this philosophy will ensure that you see results
more directly from your labors. This ultimately keeps that
"giving up" aspect far far away and out of contention. This
is generally because your progress is much more measurable
and obvious to you.

Now that you have more in your control doesn't guarantee
your success either. Let's look at the list again. Those
with a (c) beside them mean that it is something more than
likely which falls within your control. So it's up to you to
make the most if it. An example could be:

"Did I make an error in my calculations?"

We all make mistakes. It is human nature. But to achieve our
tasks, goals and desires in a timely manner we need to learn
from them. We need to bounce back, re-assess, re-calculate
and try again. Knowledge is the King. Long live The King. It
goes without say that the better informed you are the more
pro-active you are in seeking out other such supporting
and helpful information. Therefore, the wiser your decision
making will become.

Giving up is not an option for any of us. We should review
our reasonings regularly and adjust our direction as
required. But we can't ever stop trying. It is at this point
that we have indeed been defeated thus inducing failure.

Set your goals realistically. Work towards them making
adjustments as required. Bounce back from every pitfall,
gain strength and momentum from your mistakes and never
ever give your dreams away. They are the lifeblood of your
very existence. To give them away is the commencement of
your decline.

Failure does not belong to you. Do not give up on your
success and eventually... you will have it.

*****HUMOR!****HUMOR!****HUMOR!****HUMOR!*****


A woman was on a shopping spree
in an upscale clothing store, bringing
item after item to the register while her
husband stood patiently by.

As the clerk began ringing up the
purchases, she said to the man, "Most
husbands don't enjoy shopping with
their wives. Is this a special occasion?"

"Yes," he answered with a smile.
"I bought a new truck, and she
just found out about it."

(Thank you to my friend Jim Benfield for the great humor
and inspiration he shared with me. If you have any clean
jokes or inspirational thoughts in your email box, please
feel free to share them with me so I may be able to have
new material available for future ezines. Thanks!) :)
##############################################

With my new school schedule, it has become necessary
to try a new day of the week for getting the ezine out. I
will probably be trying different days until I figure out the
one that best fits my schedule in an effort to remain consistent
in getting the ezine out bi-weekly (every other week). For now,
please have your ads to me by Thursday, September 28th for
inclusion into the next ezine, which should be out by October 1st.
Our subscriber submissions address: Profitventures@...

Thanks so much for your patience. I know the uncertainty of
the ezine going out as scheduled can be annoying. I do appreciate
you for supporting me even when I have not been able to be as
consistent with the ezine as I have been in the first year. We're
already 18 months old! Time sure flies!

Have a wonderful week. Until next time...
