Casual Articles - Success is a 6 Letter Word
Viral list building is a tough concept, and one which I do not employ that much.I build solid lists of people who are sincerely interested in my offerings, and I think that there is a viral element to that. But I work more on the idea of exponential impact – that if someone sees my name a lot, they are going to be more inclined to trust me a buy from me.So what about viral list building? How do you do it?To list build virally, you must offer a list building tool that has a viral aspect of it. So what are some ideas:1) To virally list build, offer a product that has a viral aspect to it- for example, it can only be downloaded if the person downloading it has to recommend it to three friends to get the download. Imagine the viral impact of something like that!2) To virally list building, offer exceptional value. Your list must be willing to tell their friends about what you are doing, if your list building is going to be truly viral.3) To list building with a viral component, create a free ebook that has an opt
In every single moment of our life our brain evaluates this information (and much more) to decide what it means to you. And the decision criteria is always, does that mean pain or pleasure. Every single event is considered by your brain that way.
How do you know not to tap on a hot stove? How does your brain know that this action means pain? Because it happened at some time in your life. We all burned our fingers literally one time. Now that was pain and it was big pain. Big enough to make our brain build a memory for this. Our brain builds a
"My computer crashed at work, my boss was being difficult and I got stuck in traffic on the way to pick up my son from school" -- Caroline Greenwood, Surprising new stress-busters that'll take the tension out of your day, Woman's World, May 30, 2000Haven't we all been there? We've got an important call to make, but we're waiting for one more piece of information that was promised to us two hours ago. Time! It always comes back to time. There's never enough time. There are so many things to do and so little time in which to get them done. Reports are due. Project deadlines are coming up. A major client hasn't paid your latest invoice and there are bills to be paid next week. Stress is closing in on all of us. Stress is affecting not only the way we do business, but our bodily health at the same time. While we can't make stress go completely away, there are some things we can do to reduce our stress levels and make us happier and more productive, which reduces our stress levels and makes . . . and so on and so on.
What is success anyway? Think about it for a moment, is success what you really want or is it the emotions the feelings that you connect to being successful? I mean, if you imagine yourself to be a success, how does it feel? Do it, just for a moment, imagine you to be a total success. What do you see, what do you hear and how does it feel.
If you did this little exercise you probably imagined, saw and felt pleasurable things. Did you? I bet you did. Because we wouldn't strive for success if we didn't connect pleasure, massive pleasure, to reaching it. Now, think for a moment that reaching success would not be pleasurable. Would you still try to be successful?
It seems that it is not success we are looking for but the feelings, the emotions, the state we suppose to be in once reached what we consider a success.
In fact, for most people success is nothing more than an emotional state. It is the emotional state where we feel totally awesome, energized, joyous, happy, and alive.
Experience number 1: Success is a means to experience the most pleasurable state we can think of.
Now to the next question, what prevents you from feeling that way? What has to happen before you allow yourself theses emotions? In fact, and I will tell you more about that in another article, we ourselves produce our emotional states. We decide, based on rules, beliefs and values we have, what emotional state we enter at any given time. The trigger might come from the outside but the reaction (that is the state we enter because of that trigger) is totally processed and executed by our brain and body. If this was not the case all humans would react exactly the same way on the same event. But that is obviously not the case. Some watch a comedy and laugh until their stomach hurts, while others switch of the TV set being totally bored. Same external event, different emotional reaction.
The difference is how we process external events. Our brain constantly evaluates the information it gets through our senses. Just to repeat it, we can hear something, view something, feel something, smell or taste something.

With out any doubt the best way for any child to learn is with undivided one on one instruction. This definition alone points directly to the child’s parents. Who better to provide such an environment than the ultimate someone who loves and cares for the child and how they learn?Fortunately, the homeschooling parent need not be an expert in every subject matter area. Homeschool instruction goes beyond the classroom setting and takes in the entire world! Homeschool support groups and information is abundant and one doesn’t have to look any further for help than the library, the internet, community centers, and even local colleges. The key is if you don’t know the subject matter, be willing to investigate it and even learn along with your child. And when looking for homeschool resources don’t forget friends, acquaintances, and the business community as a whole.There are many people that you may come in contact with as a part of your regular day that would be more than willing to take on a bit of homeschool instruction for you. If not, to come by a

A well-written third party endorsement out performs a terse white paper every time. This B2B strategy attracts potential end-users by connecting them to real-life, third-party endorsements.Before a business begins talking about features and benefits they need to get their customers' attention. People want to learn the specifics of a product or service after they've read a case study.This may fly in the face of some high-tech marketers who believe white papers − technical documents that speak to the features and benefits of a company's product − are more important than case studies.Not so, according to Jim Logan, an independent B2B consultant."In the spirit of having to choose one over the other, the case study wins," Logan said. "The reason I don't use white papers early in a sales opportunity is because they provide too many details. Case studies are about benefits enjoyed by a real customer. They're benefit-driven documents wrapped in a format that offers a reason to believe."Case studies, also known as succes

In 2005, the FACT ACT went into effect. This ACT gave you the right to obtain a credit report a year from each of the three major credit bureaus, Equifax, Trans-Union, and Experian. These agencies have set up a central location for you to do this:AnnualCreditReport.comOnce you have obtained your reports, you can verify the information. Since a credit report is a listing of how much credit you have available, how much you actually owe and how you paid the obligations you incurred in the past, it is used by potential lenders to evaluate your standing.You need to review this report carefully. Verify the accuracy of all the information carefully. Are the balances of your accounts correct? Is the list of lenders accurate? Have you closed accounts and is this information reported? Are you aware of all inquiries listed on the report? Is the basic information accurate: name, address, Social Security number?The accuracy of this information is vital to your credit life. If there are listings for credit cards, loans or any other tr

After you are divorced you may be tempted to continue having sexual relations with your ex-husband. This can spell trouble for both of you but it is a common situation that tends to arise after the divorce is final. If you are already involved sexually with your ex you may want to rethink what you are doing. If you see that this could be an issue for you, here are some reasons that this may occur.Continuing to have sex with the person you were once married to may feel comfortable to you emotionally. This is the man that you have known more intimately than anyone else as an adult and it may just feel natural to continue to have sex with him.Having sex with your ex almost ensures that you will not get involved with someone new. This relationship shields you from being hurt or rejected by a new man. You may be using this situation to protect yourself from the dating scene.You may feel a loss of self-esteem and confidence after your divorce and this is the man that you trust to make you feel better. You may have unresolved feeling
In every single moment of our life our brain evaluates this information (and much more) to decide what it means to you. And the decision criteria is always, does that mean pain or pleasure. Every single event is considered by your brain that way.
How do you know not to tap on a hot stove? How does your brain know that this action means pain? Because it happened at some time in your life. We all burned our fingers literally one time. Now that was pain and it was big pain. Big enough to make our brain build a memory for this. Our brain builds a rule that goes like "hot stove equals massive pain!"
Next time our brain encounters a similar situation it doesn't have to test -you do not have to go through that pain again- it simply calls the rule to evaluate the situation instead and therefore prevents us to burn our fingers again. This I like going on auto pilot. You do not evaluate an event anymore you simply apply the rule.
Is this a useful function? You bet it is. Rules help us to focus on things we like to focus on while our auto-pilot (our rules and values) drive us safe through the common roads. Even more rules ensure we avoid what our brain considers painful helping us to stay away from pain.
The issue is that our brain might have memorized rules that are limiting in some way. For example, if you, as a little child, where rejected when you wanted to cuddle with your mom this rejection was not very pleasurable. In fact it was painful. Now if this happened on a consistent basis, your brain might build a rule like "If you get to close to others then they reject you which is painful". Can you see the structure of the rule? It is always the same, if ... then... outcome (pain or pleasure).
Now you have a rule to handle rejection. Dependent how painful that experience was for you your brain might decide to avoid rejection under all circumstances by jut preventing you from starting close relationships with others. After all, if you do not have close relationships, you can't be rejected. Sure you loose a source of tremendous pleasure like feeling loved, accepted and the like but if you connect too much pain to being rejected you will always decide to avoid the pain rather than go for the pleasure. Unless the pleasure is so massive that you are willing to bear the chance of pain.
I try to explain the concept at a basic level but it gets much more complicated than that. As a matter of fact, our brain stacks rules. It does not only evaluate one rule at a time but might stack various rules into a hierarchy of rules to come up with a decision. These hierarchies is what we call belief or values. The difference between a belief and a value is that a belief is a rule that we are pretty sure is right. Though we are open to question it. A value on the other hand is a rule or better a stack of rules we are absolutely certain about. We usually never question a value under norm
