A very Successful Seasons Greetings

New Year's Revolution

Seasons Greetings to each and every one of you, whatever religion you are, wherever you live and however you will be spending the next few days. I will be going to my Mum and Dad's for a family dinner with my Bro, his Fiancee and his daughter, the folks, and our Adopted Uncle Ken - he's Mum and Dad's next door neighbour, but has no family since his wife died some years back, so we like to see him round for family occasions.

After we get Xmas out of the way, there's a few days to get back to some level of reality before what will undoubtedly be an exciting New Year's Eve - although I've nothing planned yet. Last year I ended up going into town for a total of 30 mins before coming back and spending the rest of the night online with friends. I think I'd like to go out with friends this year - but let's see what happens eh?

I guess you're all busy thinking of New Year's Resolutions already - I read somewhere though that people only make resolutions primarily to tell other people, and some 99% are given up on the first 2 weeks!

Well, I have something better than new year's resolutions this year - I have goals, milestones to achieve, and I'm more confident than ever that these are going to be achieved and surpassed. I'm more confident than ever because I've had help in learning how to make sure I can achieve them.

Success University - the Review

My introduction to Success University came at a stage in my life when I was experiencing real change. I've spent the last few years laid up after breaking my back, and haven't really achieved anything - depression, immobility and a loss of self-esteem and confidence plagued me, and I was resigned to a life of pain on benefits - with little to look forward to, and no hope for the future.

I'd visited Ibiza for a week with my parents, and found the heat, and perhaps the magnetism on the island, were lessening my pain and stiffness. I'd also become great friends with some lovely people on the island who said that if I wanted to come back and spend the summer with them, to help me work on getting my mobility back and get rid of the walking stick I've used for 3 years.

On my return to the UK I set out to raise the money I'd need to get back over there and support myself for the 11 weeks I planned to stay. Through selling a lot of stuff on Ebay, including a yo-yo collection I'd built up over 7 years and boxed away safely for another 6 years. It was a difficult choice to sell them on, but I targeted collectors so I knew the yo-yos would be going to a good home.

I raised the money I needed and moved over to Ibiza for the summer. The heat helped my pain, and within a week I was able to stop using my stick. Where I would spend 3 days a week in bed in pain in the UK, I only spent 3 days in bed in 10 weeks in Ibiza! I was able to start walking and swam to increase my strength I'd lost over the years.

The family I was staying with had been friends with world-famous DJ Danny Rampling - he formerly of Radio 1 fame - at the time, Danny had semi-retired from DJing - but was coming to Ibiza to play at the Def Mix 20th Year Anniversary party at Pacha - and we were invited. It was an incredible night - the first time I'd ever been to Pacha - and I got to stand in the DJ box so many of the world's greatest DJs had worked in over the years. What a great experience that was - I've played to thousands working as a DJ, but not at such an esteemed event, or such a world-renowned club!

After the event we went back to the Pacha hotel with Danny, and in the course of conversation we'd come round to talking about getting new businesses set up and some ideas we'd had. Danny passed us a magazine - Empower magazine, and said we'd find it a bit of a revelation.

Later I read the magazine and was inspired by the stories I read, but very cynical - my depression over the previous years had left me with a feeling of being unable to change my situation to any great extent. But I started wondering if it was possible that I could make the changes I wished for, and start working towards the things I would like in my life - freedom from pain, financial security, the chance to look after my parents, and a dream house in the hills of Ibiza.

I returned to the UK a week later in a fantastic frame of mind, ready to escape from the chains that had held me down for the previous years, and had been thinking more and more about the program, so I decided to enrol and give it a try. I signed up, and set to work.

When you subscribe, you get your own web address and 4 sites so you can give the url to people where they can find the information they need to evaluate the program for themselves. That makes it easier because the sites are filled with information you might not be confident of telling people about yourself.

You also get a lead management system, so you can see the people who sign up for more information, and introduce yourself to them - helping them, through the decision making process.

The online back office application also contains resources to help you learn, and help you promote the program. It's also the place where you register for your courses.

What impressed me was the volume of courses available on the topics I wanted - Internet Marketing, Network Marketing, Confidence, Motivation, Health and much more. Each month you can study 10 short courses, 1 month long course, and you also get an introductory boot camp by email, helping you get started most effectively, find your way around the site and meet your upline - the people who'll help you build your team.

You also start the year-long Jim Rohn Pillars of Success program - delivered in weekly portions. This program has been great helping me understand more about what I want, and how to start achieving things I haven't dared think possible previously. Some weeks it can be a bit of work, and makes you think about things more deeply, but I've seen great things happen when I've applied the teachings.

One of the great things about Success University is that your upline is incentivised to help you build your team - you can only reach the highest ranks of Success University if you help others to build their teams. This creates a great sense of camaraderie, and you work with your sponsor - and his sponsor - and his sponsor, right up to the top of the company ranks - everyone's helping everyone, offering motivation, encouragement, ideas to help build the business, and even a sympathetic ear when you're feeling a little discouraged or overwhelmed.

Of course, you can also just join for the courses - which was why I originally joined. As I learned, however, I wanted a business to practice my skills on - and since I was experiencing great positive changes through what I was learning, I started promoting the program - as I knew from my own personal changes that this program really can help people.


I'll continue my review in part 2, published in the next few days, so stay tuned.

Danny Rampling's Success University - Will You Enrol?

I've been privileged to be involved in Success University for a number of months now after being introduced by my now Sponsor, World famous DJ, and the man who brought Acid House to the UK - Danny Rampling. While scanning the web today, I came across this article which I thought I'd reproduce for my readers - it's taken from 365 Music Mag International - you can find the original article here. Since the article was written, I'm pleased to say that Danny's coming out of DJing retirement - and our Success University business is going really well. In fact, Danny's presenting at the first meeting of the Entrepreneurs Club Leeds on Jan 10th 2008 - visit the Entrepreneur's Club website or Facebook Group for further details.

Danny's been an inspiration to me over the last few months, and I've turned my life around with Success University - maybe you can too...

Onto the article -

(London, UK) - Ever wondered what Danny Rampling's up to these days? Well, we'd heard that he was working in top London restaurants in preparation for running his own - that was the plan when he 'retired' from dance music - but it seems like he's taken a different turn.

How does he spend his time? Well, according to his myspace he's not watching the box, that's for sure. In his own words, 'I seldom watch TV - I have better ways to enrich my life, like SUCCESS UNIVERSITY (his italics). We had to check this one out…

Danny Rampling, the man behind Shoom, the first acid house club in London, has announced that he's behind a new idea that hopes to create a 'network of positive-thinking people' interested in making some 'serious money', at least that's what an email he sent out to his mailing list said last week. The Success University, which calls itself an 'online learning company' has been a part of Rampling's life for five months, he revealed to music journalist Jonty Skrufff.

'In the space of five months being a member of S.U my communication, presentation and leadership skills have skyrocketed as a direct result of being part of this fantastic organisation', said the acid house originator, continuing, 'It feels great to be part of an industry built on positive mindset. In fact, what's happening now has brought me a great sense of deja vu from the wave of change we experienced 20 years ago with the house scene.'

Rampling, who has played gigs like the 20th Anniversary of Def Mix party at Turnmillls in May this year, has confirmed that he will again come out of 'retirement' to celebrate 20 years since of the acid house revolution in 2008. Details to follow…

Making Money Online Fast with Networking Schemes - is it possible?

So, you’ve decided you want to make money online fast.

You’ve had a look around, maybe checked out my site StartUpOnline and visited some of the pages, got the free reports, the freebies, and maybe a course or two. But did you subscribe to any of the networking schemes?

Networking programs are possibly the best way there is of creating a residual income - one that keeps paying you every month for work you did in the past. Let me give you an example, with Success University you get paid a faststart bonus for recruiting then a monthly residual each month they are in the program. You also get paid for people recruited by people you recruited and anyone in their downlines to an infinite level. So what that means is you get paid money and share in any success anyone on your team/downline has - great eh?

The only problem is, you have to build your team in the first place - the speed at which you do this is upto you. I know someone who recruited 24 people in his first month, so he has had a profitable month, and his income will have raised substantially. Having so many people in his immediate downline means excellent bonuses and a residual income of several hundred pounds.

He has generated a great income in just a month, and his chance of his team growing fast, while dependant on his signups, is excellent. Within a few months, he’ll be earning thousands in faststarts, and a residual you could buy a car with each month.

Once you join a a team - you can even join my SU team via StartUpOnline, then you’ll be part of the same team as myself, world famous DJ Legend Danny Rampling, Simon, a network marketer of over 20 years experience - and the gentleman I used as my illustration, Simon Hinton, and a talented, hardworking team of entrepreneurs all brought together with a common cause - to better ourselves, and achieve enormous success through teamwork. Unique to our team, we offer daily webinars and an online presentation to enable people to find out more about the opportunity, meet us and ask any questions they may have.

Affiliate Schemes whereby you can generate a commission by selling someone else’s product are another good way to generate income, providing you would be offering an in-demand product. Your commissions are paid into your paypal account, or by cheque. The problem here is, you need to build a massive targeted audience who you need to market your product too - unless you already have a site relevant to the product, you may find yourself spending a lot of time on traffic exchanges, opt-in lists, and other list building exercises to generate people who you can promote your product to.

It is possible to make money fast, but in the crowded Internet Marketing market, it’s also easy to lose money doing PPC Ads for a product nobody buys. You can go it alone, but in my experience it’s better to have a team with the same goals behind you - to support, mentor, advise, and help you.

Get Started Online with Nothing

How you can start earning good money using the Internet, even if you have no money today.

by Rob Bell, October 2007

The Internet offers a fantastic opportunity for you to get RICH! Never before in history has the average person had the ability to get their product or service in front of billions of people throughout the World. Never have fortunes been made so quickly by so many.

Before the Internet Age, products could take years to catch on. Now, products can be introduced to instant demand, and markets can change in the blink of an eye. A product which could have lasted 20 years in days gone by, is now obsolete in 2 years.

Look at USB Memory Sticks for example – my first memory stick not 5 years ago cost me £30 for 32MB. Last week I bought a 2GB Stick for £15.00. I can’t get any useful amount of stuff on the 32MB stick anymore because data nowadays is so much bigger – pictures, movies, music all take up large amounts of MB or GB.

I’ve got 4 boxes of Vinyl records from when I DJed in the early 90s… I haven’t owned a record player for 15 years though, cos everything I listen to now is on CD – actually that’s a lie, everything I listen to now lives on my PC, either ripped from a CD, or bought online. You see my point?

Before the Internet Age, when you introduced a product, you had to design it, get it printed/produced, hold stock, take orders then mail the product out. All these things cost money, that you have to recoup before you make a profit – and each time you make a sale, you have to subtract your costs from your sale before you get your profit.

Information Products, such as Ebooks, Reports, or Software, are where you want to be today. What do people use the Internet for? Yeah ok, I’ll give you that - some use it for porn! A lot more people use it for INFORMATION. Yep – Google, Yahoo and the other Search Engines get billions of hits every day, from people looking for information – information about everything under the sun.

Information Products mean that you don’t have to produce anything physical, so you don’t have the costs associated with that. Let me give you an example - If I write an EBook “StartUpOnline.co.uk – the Beginners Guide”, the cost to me there is just my time (although that’s a precious commodity when you’re as busy as I am!). Once it’s written, I add some graphics, convert it to a pdf, upload it to my website then begin to market it, using free methods you can learn more about on my site StartUpOnline. Every time I make a sale, I either mail it to the customer automatically, or they download it from a link I send them. So it costs me just about £0 to send out that product – No postage, no packing, no printing, no dispatch, no waiting in line at the Post Office… You see the benefits, and see how your profits will be so much greater? It’s also for sale 24/7 – anyone from anywhere can buy it anytime once it’s on my site.

What this means to you is that you have as good an opportunity as anyone to become an Internet Millionaire! What do you love to do? What do you know about? You can write about anything, there are people on the Internet who are interested in it! For quickest success, if you can write about anything, you should find out which markets are hot, get familiar with them, then write about them – the larger your target audience the larger your sales generally.

It doesn’t need to cost you anything to get started – you can get a free website from lots of places – or a blog is easier if you’re not ready to build a site. You can register with Paypal in order to take payments. You can download OpenOffice, a free suite of office tools – Word Processor, Spreadsheet, Presentation, Art , Database and an Equation editor. You already have an Internet connection, or you wouldn’t be reading this.

So now you’re all set. Decide what you want to write about, and go out and create your own products – Give me a call in 6 months and I’ll see you on your yacht in Ibiza!

Grow Your Business Network

To be successful in business, one needs to build up a veritable network of acquaintances. Business networking is something that may help propel any business venture forward. The more people you know and can approach in different circumstances, the better you can act decisively and effectively resolve a variety of issues. After all, establishing a business network is all about gathering a group of like-minded individuals together in the aim of helping each other go towards achieving goals.

In trying to build up a business network of your own, it is also important to note that it is not only the number of people that you know but also the quality of people that you know. The size of your network can help a lot, but so will the type of people you now in your segment of industry. You must know how to strike a balance between the quality of people as well as the quantity that makes up for your business network.

When building a business network, it is also important to gather people whom you know you would be able to gather a lot of information and learn from. A good business network is composed of having people who may be able to offer you valuable advice as well as help. It is also composed of people that you may be able to easily approach and get in touch with.

In essence, you are doing more than just building a network of business acquaintances; you are trying to establish a network of relationships. What one should strive for is trying to really connect and make friends instead of looking at an established network as a mere need or requirement in order to succeed in business.

Building a business network is not really about building contacts from whom you can profit or gain something from. If that would be the case, then the network that would be built would not last long. Many people make the mistake of always considering what they can gain from a certain business contact. The "what is in it for me" attitude towards a building business network may not succeed for long.

True, it may provide immediate triumphs here and there, but building business contacts in such a way would make you look like a manipulator instead of a collaborator. That would prove to be disadvantageous to any business and in building meaningful business relationships.

In building a business network, one should always make an effort to reach out to contacts and really get to know them in a more personal manner. In usually business meets, many people make the mistake of just handing out business cards to as many people as possible as well as getting business cards from them, all without going through the effort of knowing them. As with establishing any relationship, you need to know a person first.

That is the same way with building your business networks. Take the effort to know your contacts more than just through the information from their business cards. This way, you would be building a relationship with your business network and establish it for the long term.

Blogging - Advantages of Blogging in the Field of Business and Marketing

Online diaries, weblogs, websites.

These are just but some of the words associated with blogging. The word may sound technical but it simply refers to a website where entries are written chronologically or reverse chronological order. Many blogs are personal commentaries on particular subject such as food, politics, fashion and employment. Some blogs are significant sources of news of current events that continuously gain wide readership and popularity. In today's business and commerce, blogging offers a wide array of advantages in terms of working with your clients, merchandizers, work colleagues and other writers.

1. Blog marketing offers endless benefits by drawing potential customers into conversations or forums. Because blogs are accessible for the customers to directly comment on the product being posted, bloggers receive feedbacks and build rapport, thus making your market research a lot easier than traditional market research strategies.

2. Blogs create a population of people who are interested in your products and services and what your corporation has to say about them. Just make sure that your blog links to other related blogs because blogging is all about community.

3. Blogs are communication tools allowing you to connect to new opportunities by providing contacts with people you would have never met.

4. A regularly updated business blog provides links in abundant supply making your search engine visible and dynamic to all as it allows you to communicate with a dynamic and interactive database.

5. Blog marketing spells advertising where media can be informed on news pertaining to your company products' innovations, its merchant tie-ups to other institutions as well as hiring and promotions and other important events of your company. It establishes your corporation's credibility, boosts its image to prospective business allies, investors and potential employees.

6. A business blog provides an outlet to describe your merchandize, by displaying pictures of your items, thus increasing your bidding pools in case you have auctions or sale.

With the practicality of business blogging, it is therefore strongly suggested that lessons must be learned to build a successful blog.
