About This Gadget:


Think of your journey with PIPS as taking a trip from the north tip of Maine to the southern tip of California...walking. You get prepared, you have all of your gear set to go and you are off. The first few days you are energetic, excited, and ready to accomplish the journey no matter what.

But...

As the days go by, you start to feel a bit confused, uncertain, and you debate yourself on if this trip should have been taken. Then you decide to turn around and go back, but then realize that you are too far into the trip to turn back. So you take an inventory of what you have accomplished and what distance you have truly covered.

As you sit and ponder what could have been done to make the first part of this trip smoother, you see what strategies or short-cuts you could have used along the way. Now the commitment is made and you soon start to visualize this as a one-way road and not a crossroad. This renews your vigor and you march on. As you go, you decide to see if you can hitch a ride with others who have tread this path before you. You want to heed their advice and follow the footsteps they have laid in the ground.

You start to make contacts, ask for direction, and find easier routes to take to make the journey meaningful. Then you start to feel that you are making progress and will see this out. You fight off negative feelings, trials, and become determined to persevere to fulfill your quest.

You walk and keep walking until you finally hit the southern tip of California. You have reached the destination, but then you feel as though there is much more to do. So you decide to sail around the world instead of backtracking to your starting point. You have lived and learned from that, so you do not feel the need to experience it again.

As you start to sail you embrace the bumps that were in the road and the waves that are now in your way. It makes the new voyage that much sweeter.

Then a thought hits you.

What if you make this your life?!

Now there is no need to make a destination. You just keep sailing, keep dreaming, and keep focused on what adventures are to be found each day.

Make your journey something you love to do. Love is a double edged sword and can be put in this way...

Love's tenacity can crush a diamond,
but can cradle the most fragile creature.
The strands of old scars fade slowly,
renewal brought forth by a beautiful weaver.

This endless spectrum of emotions,
from passion above all desire.
From infatuated fervor to hateful isolation,
this delicacy, this abhorrent, love's fire.

Love your journey and love the life you have been given. Love your dreams and they will become reality.

GOOD JUNK MAIL Published: 13/09/07

Wait!

Do not delete that junk mail and spam just yet. I am going to give you a few reasons why junk mail can be helpful to your home business. You do not feel like going through all of them? Look here. This could make or break a contact or a sale. So, I hopefully have your attention now.

A few reasons why spam or junk mail can be so helpful:

1) A free uninhibited view of what your competitors are up to. You can easily see what type of emails they are writing and what type of email titles they are using to grab a persons attention. If you open one up out of curiosity, then they are doing it correctly. Use this to create your own insightful and sticky email campaigns.

2) The value of catching a newbie. Usually you can tell by the layout of their email that they have not been at this for long. They tend to look a bit
unorganized and sloppy. You can send them a reply or a new message because some will leave their actual email address and not POP email or cloaked addresses. You can gain new partners or sell them on some of your products that will develop their niche.

3) By being courteous enough to visit their site, you can use this as a platform to share your own. I view many sites and offer the site owners things that will help promote and enhance their business without the threat of making mine look better than theirs. You do not put the other marketer on the defensive and this can be crucial in making new contacts or business associates.

4) Lastly, there are very valuable tools, tips, and goodies that are given away for free by those wanting others to view their site(s). I have incorporated many free tips and tools into my ventures without ever having to interact with the person giving them away! I have found so many enhancements by just reading my junk mail. Do not underestimate this annoying, yet powerful resource.

Junk mail can be good!

God bless,
