Fixing Trading Errors

By forexerror

When we are trading we will all from time to time make a mistake when forex trading and it is normal and sometimes can be looked upon as healthy, so as to know that the decisions will either make or break you. However, if this becomes severe to a point wherein you lose more than you can afford to, then you would have to take measures in order to avoid further damage. This is why when you are trading you must make sure that you only trade within your limits. If you can't afford to lose it, don't trade.

When trading you must make sure that you keep your emotions in tact, do not let them take over. If you let your emotions take over the result is more than likely to cause even more rash decisions and can cloud your strategies, producing even more disastrous results. You should aim for more positive months with good turnovers but face it; there are some periods wherein gain is not achievable.

Before trading you should make sure that you have a plan and part of that plan is to employ a money management technique; in case is where you went wrong the first time. You should always consider what your losses are going to be. Since most traders would tend to gamble as opposed to trade, instead of making a calculated risk, their bank accounts would be drained each time there is a loss. They don't have a great capital management system which causes damaging effects. By managing the amount that you can afford to lose in thinking of all possibilities, you can be assured that you do not get bankrupt with forex.

You must make sure that you educate yourself as much as possible about the Forex Market, a great place for education lessons is the CFD FX REPORT They specialize in offering free Forex Education as well as helping you find the Best Forex Broker

Each trader has their own attitude towards forex trading and what risks they are personally prepared to take, but learning about the inherent principles can go a long way in helping you develop your own style and making you more successful in the long run . You can also develop a trading system and make sure to be disciplined enough to follow what you have created. Remember create the plan, plan the trade and trade the plan. You should have this next to your trading screen at all times and never forget it. Remember that since your money is involved and that you are not participating in the market just to lose it, you have to think objectively and learn to foresee the consequences of your decisions.

Do not associate loss with the feeling of being a loser, in order to be a successful trader you will take losses and the best traders can handle them. When trading you should know that you can't pick the market 100% of the time, so there is going to be losses it is how you handle those losses to how successful you are. The forex market is an objective industry wherein sound decision-making and strategies are employed and not about judging your emotional capabilities and dealing with them. If you can't handles losses, or losing money, do yourself a favor and don't trade.

DNA Testing Has Different Faces

By Patricia Denny

A lot has been made about the different faces of dna testing on television and in the movies, and while the forensics element of the procedure is one of the more valuable advances that the science has made, there are other areas where the results have been able to better the lives of people.

Paternity Testing

This is one of the most common types of dna testing and the variations include in home paternity testing and paternity testing before birth. While these are common procedure presently, they have evolved from earlier forms of techniques. There are various forms of the present day versions that have been designed to accommodate a variety of different needs but the results for court ordered paternity testing have a probability of 99.99% or greater for inclusion of the biological father and probability of 0% of the subject not being the biological father which is a 100% exclusion.

Other DNA Testing Procedures

Of course there are other methods where dna testing procedures are used and these include Infidelity testing. In our modern world the percentage of spouses and people in otherwise committed relationships that cheat on each other is high, and even the suspicion that your significant other might be unfaithful is enough to cause a serious strain on the relationship.

Thats where the science of dna testing comes into play again. Its important to know that traces of any amorous activity can be left on even the most common objects like gum or cigarette butts, and even more damaging traces can be found on things like bed linen and undergarments.

Semen can remain in the vagina for days after intercourse and even last as dried stains for years after contact.

Forensics

One of the more celebrated relatives of the paternity testing procedure is are the forensics variety. These are the varieties that have gained a more international following due to their high profile in crime work and as such, they have been instrumental in changing peoples lives. There are a variety of places where a good sample can be taken and these areas include common object like stamps, a toothbrush and even bed linens.

Its essential that you find the right facility that can deal with all your paternity testing and dna testing needs. For that, youll want to be aware of all the credentials that each place has as well as the paternity testing areas that they are familiar with.

Unemployed? Try Starting Or Growing Your Own Business

By Michael Nelson

It seems that every other week the media gets a fresh round of bad news to share with us, related to the current recession and its impact on the unemployment rate (which climbed to more than 7%). This morning I was reading that since the start of the recession the number of unemployed people has grown by 3.6 million, and the unemployment rate has risen by 2.3 percentage points. While this is hardly good news, it should at the very least get us to think about the way our lives have been when it comes to how we earn a living.

What happens in tough times such as now, where everyone tightens their belts? Businesses make less money and are usually forced to reduce their workforce, sending waves of people into unemployment. But at the same time, they also take a good look at their business practices to see where they can save money and be more efficient. As a result, a leaner business is more productive and offers its production to its customers at a lower cost. And it so happens that in such an environment, customers are more attracted than ever to low prices.

We always tend to look at competition from the point of view of businesses reaching out for customers and each of them saying that their offering is the best. It's time to start considering competition within the labor force too. When unemployment rises, it forces each worker to be on their best behavior so as not to lose their job. They become more productive and the businesses can do just as much with less employees, or more with the same number of employees. And wages either get frozen or decrease, making businesses even more productive.

When we hear the constant complaining about the unemployment rate here in the US, we might be tempted to think that our performance puts us as the worst performers of the developed countries. Yet a quick look around the world tells us that such is not the case. Actually, in the European Union, where many of the countries are also wealthy and belong to the group of the world's wealthiest nations, several countries have have rates that hovered around 8% for many years now, and sometimes even higher. This, and a look at economic history, suggests that our recent run at full employment (one of the definitions of which is unemployment below 5%) has come to en end and it's unreasonable to expect sustaining it over decades.

Finally, my main point is this one. The United States' current unemployment rate of 6.7 percent translates into 10.3 million people without a job. The state of Michigan is the hardest hit, with a double digit rate, because they depend heavily on the manufacturing business and the factories as their main source of employment. At the other end of the spectrum, Wyoming, with the lowest unemployment rate of only 3.2 percent because it's a farming state. Farmers are self-employed people who work hard as a family to make a living. In order to solve our current economic crisis, we probably should turn back to self employment.

That is not to say that we should all turn into farmers in order to solve the deepest financial crisis since the Great Depression. The idea is that we should stop relying on others to provide us with jobs. Wyoming's unemployment rate is the lowest of the country because it's hard to get fired when you're your own boss. If you can find something you're good at and can make money from, consider that the world is turning into one big village, and that the Internet allows you to do business anywhere in the world if you're so inclined. There have seldom been better times to consider being in business for yourself.

Prenatal Paternity Testing Is Just One Option

By Patricia Donaldson

Very often there are situations in life that sneak up on us and demand that we find a solution to a confusing turn of events. And just as often, we turn to medical science to lead us in the right direction and give us the answers that we seem to desperately need.

Paternity Testing

And thats where the science of paternity testing comes in. More often than not, this is the method thats employed so that a group will know without any real doubt the biological relationship between a child and a man. It should be no surprise that the methods of testing have changed quite a bit as this science has evolved and from the simple jumping off point of dna testing, several other disciplines have evolved.

Granparentage DNA Testing

The principles that have been used for paternity testing are now available to apply to other areas that often need questions answered as well. Heres a fine example of one of the ways that DNA testing has evolved. Now its possible for childrens dna to be tested against that of the supposed grandparents in matters of inheritance and other issues. As well, people can even be tested to see if they are siblings although the method of testing here is not always as accurate as other varieties.

What To Look For

So when youve decided that you want to get one of these dna tests for whatever reason, youll need to have a set of criteria so that you can narrow down your search. Remember first and foremost that you can tell quite a bit about a company by the reputation that they have. And in the business of paternity testing, the best firms have affiliations that demonstrate their commitment for all to see.

Accreditation

As well, youll need to be sure that youre dealing with a firm thats been recognized by the proper bodies. Make sure to look for the paternity testing places that have the proper licenses and have been checked off by the appropriate boards of health. Its as much for your own safety as for the accuracy of the results that you make sure to choose here carefully. Most of the places that are allowed to carry our court ordered paternity testing have the best high standards. Its about knowing what youre looking for and having a personal checklist.

Trying to sell a product? Recommended is the online classifieds especially when finding a site where the postings are free. Although very popular and a great tool for the seller eBay, they will have to pay a fee in order to post their product. This fee may cause the seller to have to raise the price of the item to compensate. The seller may be better off using a site such a Craigslist.com, as it is free to post in most categories, thus keeping the items price low. Recently Craigslist.org has become an even better site as they now allow the seller to post photographs to show off their respective items.

Was your home business that true wealth blessing?

By John Wallen

This is what is happening as the home business industry grows. Most of the people have never had any experience in owning a affiliate position with a company. They are comming into a very different world, and all though change can be a very positive thing, they look at the opportunity as something that will save them from what ever it is they are ailing from, like debt.

They start off eager and wanting to learn quickly. Every comfort zone is tested. Then a few months goes past, and that's when it sinks in, no results worth mentioning. This is happening because of the very fact that, every bit of information given them to start their business with, is completely wrong. And know that fast running current of hope and energy, is now a stagnant puddle.

This is no fault of theirs, you cannot make progress and attain a good starting income doing those things they were told to do. But this goes on all the time, failure they are told is not an option. No, it is what happens, and it is not the new commers fault. Their doing what they think is the right way.

Is this the way it's playing out for you? Let me just say, I have been their and wasted a lot of money when I first started also. But I tell you one thing, I got educated quickly as to what doesn't work at all, so I have no regrets there. I don't have to second guess what to do with my business opportunity or product.

I log on to company seminars that are on the internet about their opportunity. And to many times it's like a repeat of the last company. Postcards to warm list's, that's very expensive and I did not get one result. I made thousands of calls over time, and it only made me broke buying leads. We can easily get tunnel vision sometimes at the hands of someone else.

I'm not looking for a magic button when I sit in on these webcasts, or when I'm reading some new material I have come across. I'm just looking for even just one new idea I can put to use. But most of the time I'm seeing the same old marketing strategies thrown out there, and people that are new don't know any better.

So many home business opportunities are put together so well, and have a chance to really get it done. But there will be way to much turnover ratio with new reps. And they say that's just normal. I firmily stand my ground and tell you that's because there's no marketing system these new reps are using that has been proven to work!

The Best Business Gifts Are Promotional Leisurewear

By Matthew Calvin

Promotional clothing has emerged as the most practical of promotional gifts. Basically, it is their use that makes them the preferred brand promotion articles of many companies. Promotional jackets, T-shirts or polo shirts are the best accessories that can be given to your customers. The clothing products, in general, show the love and warmth of the giver towards the recipient. If you supply a set of printed leisurewear that carries your brand imprint on them, you will be able to conquer the minds of your customers very easily. Having a large print area on them, the clothing products provide a lot of scope for publicising the brand name to the outside world.

There is a significant difference in the brand promotion activity carried out by the promotional clothing products and that done by the other types of promotional products. The clothing products, especially the leisurewear such as T-shirts, jackets and polo shirts are used by all the people in our country. Thus, they surpass the other promotional gifts in their utility.

Promotional products offer marketing power and utility value, and the two characteristics are interrelated. The greater value one holds, the greater the other will offer. Combined, these two characteristics make promotional leisurewear the best corporate gift available. If you are searching for stylish collections of promotional clothing, then visit the leading suppliers online. They offer extensive collections of all types of clothing imaginable.

Promotional clothing also offers a longer brand promotion because it lasts so long. No matter what type of clothing is being considered, the recipients tend to wear it for longer periods of time, thus exposing more to the brand name. And no matter where the garment is worn, it is always displaying the marketing message of the company.

Promotional clothing has shown itself to be the most effective type of corporate gift available. All people enjoy receiving promotional clothing as a gift, and displaying a logo for a company has become a popular way to dress in a snappy and stylish way. If you are beginning a new advertising campaign, promotional clothing will provide a good return on your investment.

Some Details To Be Known Of A Cleaning Business

By Nathan Nwachukwu

Housekeeping is never the easiest of things to do nowadays, what with so much to do on a daily basis. Maybe the general part of making your bed, dusting a corner or two and doing away with the few nasty cobwebs that have managed to form on your walls. But we all know it can never be that simple. So much dust collects on every flat surface like on window sills and on curtain boxes, wash towels and curtains need cleaning and when was the last time the ceramic tub, sinks and toilet bowls were scrubbed? The carpets need cleaning too, the worst dirt collectors.

Domestic cleaning services, a revolutionary business niche has helped save both time and money. Having to come whenever you decide to make an appointment with them, they offer specific service packages that can be modified to suit your situation. Whether you had a backyard or in-house party, or just the general condition of a house staying thoroughly unclean, they will get you hooked. Always be on the lookout for the ones that guarantee that nothing gets stolen from your premises. Even fraud companies exist that may clean out your house. Always have these things in mind when you embark on the search for such a service.

Cost : Some companies charge exorbitant fees for the services that they give, always call ahead and make enquiries on the different pricings different companies offer. Some may charge too suspiciously low and as such should be avoided as they may turn out fraudulent, or have inexperienced, poorly remunerated employees

Insurance : An insurance company that has an insurance cover is the best one to use so that incase of any damage or loss to your household property they will be able to compensated you. Avoid those household cleaning companies that are not insured.

Feedback from clients : The cleaning companies you enquire about may exaggerate the quality of their work and therefore ask them to give you a list of their clients so that you get information that is not biased. Clients who have used the service and are satisfied are in a better position to explain how it works for them and this way you can make an informed choice.

Staff recruitment : The way the cleaning service company recruits its cleaners is always a show of how seriously they take their job. They should be able to comfortably explain how they do it and especially how they pick out the best. The best cleaner may be an ex-convict. The cleaning service company should explain how they can make you rest assured that they have it covered. With you satisfied, you can gladly hand over your keys every time you ask them over.

Email Marketing and The Mailing List

By Sam Ernie Orion

We all know that every aspect of Internet marketing has a specific tool that helps to drive traffic and sales, and any email marketing campaign is no different. What you need to concentrate on here is developing and building up a mailing list since that is the real cornerstone of any successful email marketing campaign. Remember that there is no denying the power of a well run email marketing campaign and with that in mind there are specific things you can do to ensure that your mailing list is strong and healthy.

Offer Something For Free

One of the oldest advertising gimmicks in the book is still one of the more effective. Its important to keep in mind that you really want your mailing list to have opt in clients. Those are the people that are much more likely to read what youve got for them, and offering this kind of incentive will push them to sign up. One of the more effective techniques is to get a content writer to write a free ebook and then offer the use of it as a bonus for signing on.

Contests

People love to be included in interactive events. Sponsoring a contest on your site draws people in to sign. There is one drawback that youll need to be aware of if you travel this route. Not everyone who subscribes in this manner will eventually convert into a sale. Many of the people that you attract this way will be people habitually playing all the contests looking for the latest freebie.

Article Marketing

This is one of the most tried and tested methods used today. Hiring a ghost writer who will work for a reasonable fee all but ensures that youll get a series of professional articles submitted that cant help but eventually build your mailing list.

Directories

Again, this is one of the more traditional but effective methods used on the Internet. Business Directories are a great way of getting your name out there in cyberspace so that you can draw the kind of attention that will help to build your mailing list in the end.

Of course there are other methods that include ad swaps and hover ads, but the major point here is that you want to have people subscribe to your mailing list. That way, youll already have their willing attention and the buildup on your mailing list will result in a solid email marketing campaign.

Content Is Critical For The Best In Web Design

By Sam Ernie Orion

When youre looking for the best results that you can get when it comes to your web design, you need to consider much more than the graphics, logos and navigation bars to get and keep customers at your site. As well, all the best seo techniques will get you the traffic thats the Holy Grail everyone seems to be after, but youre going to need great compelling content once you get the prospects to your door.

Content Is King

Theres a common mistake that seems to be disappearing but while it was prevalent, it cost many otherwise well designed websites business. It seems that businesses were either being told or they had decided on their own that keywords were to be stuffed into the content like pennies into a piggybank.

It was easy to find websites that had the increase in traffic that they were looking for but garbled content that met prospects when they arrived at the site. To that end, many businesses found that while their traffic increased, they had a low conversion rate that was due in part to the bad content.

Expanding Technologies?

And still there are others who think that the latest technologies might offset the need for good web content. They point to the advent of video for websites as a possible alternative for good well written web content, and while video is one of the major driving forces behind more conversions, it works best with good content and not in spite if it. Consider an example.

Professional Videos

Someone selling plumbing on the Internet wants to have the very best web design. They decide to hire a top notch seo company that drives the traffic to their site where the owner has made a professional looking video where he demonstrates why his product is the one the consumer cant do without. The consumer is taken by the way that the product has a face and is further attracted by being able to see how the thing theyre considering actually works.

All thats left to really seal the deal is more in depth information that the person can refer to at will, something they can read as many times as they want to give them the full package of rounded out information. Some information like statistics is always best referenced as written web content on the page.

Marketing Firms Can Help Grow Your Business In Tough Economy

By T. W. Stan

This tough economy causes anyone to look more closely at the bottom line and how any resources can be changed to improve profits. An outbound prospecting company can be one such resource. This article will explain why you will want to look at a prospecting company to gain more sales at a lower cost.

An outbound prospecting company focus on the activity most people hate. One of the hardest jobs for any salesperson is to do prospecting. Using outbound telemarketing firms can allow your salespeople to focus on current customers and their needs so that business can increase both with current customers and with new customers.

Using an outbound prospecting company can allow you to spend less time on the phone with uninterested customers. You can focus yourself on those activities which help grow your business.

Many businesses do not have a very unstable business pipeline. Using a prospecting firm can keep the sales pipeline full so that more sales can increase as a result of this full pipeline.

One of the first areas of spending any business cuts during a recession is marketing. If you have to cut your marketing spending, you can reallocate dollars to outbound telemarketing and increase your sales at a lower cost to your marketing dollars.

Any business in tough times will watch their dollars very closely and want to be extremely frugal with them. Using a prospecting firm can allow you to free up current staff to work more closely with existing customers to gain more market share while still filling a new customer pipeline.

Many customer driven salespeople do not have time to find new clients because most of their time is spent in current sales processes and do not have finely honed prospecting skills. Using an outbound telemarketing company allows you to have people whose primary focus is new business focus on finding new clients.

With marketing budgets decreasing, few of your competitors will be apt to do business over the telephone. Using a prospecting company can allow you to increase your market share so that your sales increase either at that point or in the future when buyers reopen their wallets.

McGraw-Hill did a study to compare maintaining marketing activities and dollars versus reducing them during a recession. They found that those who maintained and increased this dollar amount enjoyed a 275% increase the first year after a recession and this is a spectacular argument why to spend money on a prospecting company.

Prospecting firms focus on telemarketing and this is an area most salespeople struggle. Using these specialists means that the number of calls can increase with the quality and quantity of prospects greatly increased. If you want to grow sales but at a reasonable cost, you will look closely at how much it costs to get a new client. It is necessary to try different tactics to lower this figure and a prospecting firm is a tactic you can watch and carefully measure.

What To Avoid When Yourre Starting Out

By Sam Ernie Orion

No matter how well versed you are in the brick and mortar business world, its a good idea to understand both the similarities and differences between that and the world of ecommerce. Remember that as the economy takes a downturn, more and more people are looking toward alternatives to the traditional model of doing business. However, while the Internet supplies some great ideas and is a great vehicle to make money, there are at least four mistakes that you want to avoid before you take the plunge into starting your own business.

Dont Rush

First and foremost, all the experts agree that you dont want to rush. Although compared to other enterprises an Internet business is cheaper, there are quite a few bad turns that you can take and some of these spiral. While its true that we all like to hear great success stories and how people have made great money online, you need to be careful and find out exactly how much work was involved. Take the time to look into exactly how this success was achieved before you envision yourself doing the same thing.

Think Like A Boss

Remember too that while the Internet affords great possibilities, theres also a tendency for people to slide into the employee frame of mind. That means that some people make the incorrect assumption having your own business means that they have more freedom and while thats true, you also need to in mind that although you can set your own hours you still need to work at them. Dont think like an employee when youre the boss.

Get The Right Tools

Many people starting a home based web business try to cut corners and get a quick template off the Internet rather than taking the time and investing the money to go to a professional web design company in Los Angeles or where ever they happen to be. That is always a mistake. Even if you wind up with a decent website, you need to market that site and compete for page rankings and you dont get those tools by cutting financial corners before you even start.

Theres a good living on the Internet, but you need to get the best tools and have the right aptitude to make the whole thing work for you. While the medium for business might change, the need for hard work stays the same.

Setting Up A Tickler File

By Dojo Kuhn

On Day 6 of the GTD Thirty Day Challenge, I am going to talk about how I set up my tickler file and exactly how to set up a tickler file.

David Allen seems to be big on using 43 folders for his tickler file. These folders would be made up of 12 monthly folders and 31 daily folders. Let's say it is now January and I'd have all my daily folders behind the January folder. When a day ends, that day's folder goes behind the next month or February's folder. Looking at the 19th, I'd have the folders 1-18 behind the February folder at this point.

What happens when I use my tickler file? If I get a bill that is due on February 3rd, and I want to remember to pay it on that day, I would stick the bill in my February 3rd folder. On February 3rd when I look at my tickler, I'd see the bill and remember to pay it.

I really do not like using 43 folders for my tickler file. For starters, it's hard to remember to check it every day. People then have to remember to check it and they'll start to ask themselves "how do I remember to check my tickler file?" The next reason is it is very bulky and not very portable. Finally, when you move the daily folders behind the next month, you have to remember to move the items in that months folders to the proper day.

For GTD, the tickler file set up is essential because you have to have a way to remind yourself of future actions. If you are a person who has tons of physical paper items then a foldered style tickler is the way you want to set it up. For me though, my work doesn't create many physical items and so I have a different method to setting up my tickler file to solve the above problems.

Setting Up A Tickler File

Step one is to create a plastic folder that I carry in my briefcase labelled "Waiting For" and all the things I need to remember on future dates go in there.

After that, I would create a folder in my email setup called "Yahoo Reminders". If you look at my folder setup in my other article called How To Set Up Your GTD email, you can see how I have this set up. I then filter all of my Yahoo reminders into this folder and they bypass my inbox.

The final component of my tickler file setup is Yahoo calendar. Anything I need to remember on a certain day gets entered as an all day event. An email reminder is associated with the event and a email goes out 2 days before I need to remember to do it. I also have it send me a text as a backup.

In the above example, the bill I got needed to be remembered on February 3rd. I enter the all day event on the third like "Pay very important bill" and by default it sends me an email reminder two days before it occurs. The actual physical bill goes into my "Waiting For" folder in my briefcase.

On February 1st, an email is sent ot me that reminds me I have to pay a bill on the third. The email bypasses my inbox and is filtered into my Yahoo reminder folder. As a backup, I get a text message too. Using text and email both gives me a backup in case I can't check my Yahoo reminders folder I then have a reminder sitting on my blackberry too. I review my reminders each day on my Blackberry and if I am at my computer, I review them too.

This setup is especially lightweight and extremely portable. It reminds me of everything so I do not have to remember to check. I also don't have to move stuff around in my tickler file. If you don't use email reminders, you really don't have any idea how valuable they can be. My suggestion is use them, even if you use the 43 folders as your tickler file. They will improve your GTD system 100%

Once you learn how to set up a tickler file in this fashion, you'll find it ideal for maximum effectiveness.

SEO Has A Full Tool Box For Internet Success

By Sam Ernie Orion

There are things that you cant get away from when youre starting out in ecommerce. As you might imagine, the first thing that youll need to have is a professionally designed website to showcase your product or service. Make no mistake about it, that website will be your businesses calling card on the web and everything else that you do in the way of advertising will point toward that site.

Techniques

So it needs to be good. And unfortunately what you think might be good might not be good enough so youll need to have some professionals design the website and implement a marketing campaign for you. Links, web content, pay per click advertising and email marketing. These are just some of the ways that youll get noticed by the search engines and these techniques and others are whats called search engine optimization (SEO).

Advertise

And the pundits are always coming up with new ways to help you advertise. Some of these experiments fall away because they dont work while others stay around and become traditional SEO methods. One of the best SEO methods that has been proven to drive your rankings higher in your designed market has to do with links and how you use them.

Links

Like a strong chain, a well designed website is full of good links. Links that are reciprocated from other sites help to increase the search engines interest and even links that move the surfer from one page to the other within the site itself have good track records. Regardless of the kind that you prefer, these make it much easier for the search engine bots to travel from one site to the next looking for the keywords that will help you with rankings.

Blogs

A custom installed blog feature is another SEO option that will foster business success. The content on these should be well written but the real advantage lies in the fact that they too use links to point back to the website. Generally SEO rules allow for two links per the standard 200 words post, one that points to the homepage of the site that its promoting and another that clicks to an inside page. More and more business are using this option to increase their sales.

While not explicitly outlawed by the rules it is generally considered against the spirit of the rules to donate cards to another player, trade cards with other players or simply throw cards away.

If a starter allows at least four earned runs, he normally becomes fatigued and switches to B grades with the next base runner allowed. But if he has a bonus inning (a raised number following his regular S rating) then he gets to stay on his A grades through the end of his bonus inning. Example: Joe Fastball is rated S64..

Placement

First off, youll need to pick the best place on your website for the video. The correct placement very often makes all the difference between a campaign that works well and one where the video looks good but does nothing to promote the product or service. There are both places that are free on the Internet and those where you need to pay to get your video placed alongside any existing advertising that youve done before. One of the best ways to get traffic directed to your video is through the back link to its location.

Use Props

Where ever possible its a good idea to use props when youre filming the video if thats feasible. To actually have the product in your hands as you speak gives the audience the ability to see what youre talking about. If the product is in fact too large or is more of a service, having a power point presentation compliment your words is another great option. Remember that whatever route you choose here, its necessary that your video stands out. You need to draw attention the fact that youve decided to put a face to the product or service that youre trying to sell.

As well, youll want to polish your presentation so that it doesnt overlap with the information in your content as much as possible. Remember that the video is designed to be part of you online marketing campaign and as such, you arent trying to design something that will take away from the information that youve already presented on your website. The video is a compliment and another seo technique that will draw visitors to your website so that your sales can increase.

4 Core Blueprints to Reclaim your Life pt 5

By Lynn Pierce

There are 4 core areas, or what I call core blueprints, that require your attention if you want to have a life that is in flow with your true passion and purpose. When you've created all 4 of your blueprints and you have all 4 of these areas functioning at a level that satisfies you, then your life will be more peaceful and effortless than you have ever imagined it could really be...

No magic bullet required!

In the final week we will discuss the last blueprint, Mentoring for Your Life and Your Business Blueprint.

If you've done the work we've discussed in the first 4 installments of this series, you've got to be feeling pretty great about your life focus and your business right now. Through the first 4 weeks you've worked on knowing who you are, where you're starting from, where you want to go, how you're going to get there and how to ramp up your sales and marketing program using better communications skills to bring in more cash.

Now it's time for a mentoring blueprint.

In other blueprints I've mentioned that the top 3% of the people in the world have such a different life than the other 97% because they look at life differently and they make conscious choices. I told you that one of those conscious choices is to create a plan for building their business and it's day to day operations for growth and financial prosperity.

Another very crucial conscious choice the top 3% of people make is to invest in themselves.

Once again, first you have to know your starting point. The next step is to evaluate how you feel about where you are and then decide where you would like to take it next. You need to be laser focused and absolutely clear on what your next step is to get the best results from mentoring. If you're not you could pick the wrong thing to be mentored on or the wrong time to do it.

It is likely that as you progress on your path you will have more than one mentor for different parts of your life or business working with you at the same time.

I have said many times that you should be willing to invest at least 10% of your income in your own growth if you are really serious. Then find the mentors that understand where it is that you want to go and have the experience to take you there.

Here is where I differ with what many coaches and gurus will tell you. They will say that you should only work with someone who has done what you want to do and mentored others to do the same.

But that's not the whole story.

Where would Tiger Woods be today if he took that advice? His coaches have not been the best golfers in the world at any time in their careers; far from it.

Some people are gifted teachers and know the process of what needs to be done to get Tiger, or you, to the desired result without either the personal skill or perhaps the desire to reach that level themselves or possibly neither.

In my 25 year career as a salesperson, manager and trainer, I can tell you that the majority of the best salespeople couldn't train others to do what they do because they don't have the skill of a great teacher. That's not their gift. And yet someone who was an average salesperson can have an amazing understanding of the sales process and be an incredibly gifted mentor.

Some of the top gurus in your field may be the same way, the very best at what they do but not the best person to mentor someone to do the same.

If I were to share my personal preferences with you, I look for a mentor that understands what I want to accomplish. If I'm working with them one on one or in a small group, I want them to be excited about being involved in helping me reach that goal. I want them to have the skill level to be able to guide me through the process.

Are you getting the mentoring you need to grow your business and expand your level of personal growth?

Even more so than the other blueprints this is as extremely individualized so it's important that you make a decision based on your own gut feeling about your possible mentor. Don't just ask for a recommendation from a friend and assume that the relationship you will have with your mentor will be the same as theirs.

In this type of relationship, where you are getting personal mentoring, having a good fit of personalities is very important.

Remember that this is all about you. What you are passionate about, what you want your life to look like, the activities you choose to include in the way you create your business and the way you grow your business. Make those things clear to your prospective mentor and see if you are in alignment before proceeding.

It's your life. It's your business. It's your choice. Do what feels right to you.

Now you have the last piece of the 4 Core Blueprints to Reclaim your Life, Awaken Your Soul and Your Business. We've come full circle. You are creating the script of what you want your life story to be from now on. It's time for you to take 100% responsibility and take back 100% of your power. Pick up your pen and create a script for yourself that is exciting and compelling and passionate and fulfilling for you on every level.

Remember that all you ever need to know how to do is the next step that you're going to take right now and the end result. The steps in between and the people you need to help you make it happen will show themselves as needed.

I hope this series has been beneficial to you and that you've taken the action suggested. Now that you know what you want and how you're going to get there and you know how you're going to get the cash to make it happen you're ready to put it all together with the mentoring to keep you on track.

So get to work right now on blueprinting your life and reawaken your soul!

Until next week, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Just comment on this post on my blog.
