a great online game of old fashion Hangman.

It's got a couple of twits that increase the playing
pleasure (at least for me) such as unusual categories. Here
is an opportunity to test yourself a little. Or maybe a Lot!

Who's Got The Power In Your Life?
by Dave Cole

Have you ever attempted to do something and failed?

I'm not talking about something outside of your
capabilities. I doubt that any of us could run a 4 minute
mile or bench press 400 pounds.

What I'm talking about here is trying to do something
within your capabilities. For instance, you join up with an
online business then diligently follow the instructions they
give you on how to promote. Really give it your best shot.

But.....seems like things just aren't going right.

You're not getting near the responses. And remember how
the literature you read before joining said you could make
thousands of dollars every month?

And, oh yeah....remember how easy they said it was going
to be? That was right after they hit you with all those
testimonials from folks who were already raking it in!

The folks who were living in huge, expensive houses and
were now laying on some beach in the Bahamas with their
laptops busily counting all the money they were making.

What went wrong?

Is your mind telling you things like: "I must be doing
something wrong." or, "I guess it works for some people,
but not for me.".....along with a hundred other litanies
all containing expressions of self-doubt and thoughts
that you, yourself are failing for whatever reason.

Think about that for a minute.

And the next time you go to place your ads or give
a business presentation: Are you first confronted by these
memories of past discouragements?

What are these memories telling you? That perhaps you
shouldn't have joined in the first place? Possibly they will
be saying something like "There's no use in doing this,
nobody will read it or respond to it anyway."

So now...... Who Has The Power?

You.....or your unpleasant memories of past failures.

These memories have the effect of actually pulling us
back into time and then causing us to have a distorted view
of the present.

We try to block out the more unpleasant ones, but doesn't
it just seem the more we resist them the stronger they
become.

By giving our attention to these renegade self-defeating
memories aren't we in reality, only amplifying and giving
them more strength and a life they wouldn't ordinarily have.

As our minds get clouded over with re-plays of past events
these memories rob from us spontaneous creativity,
self confidence, and further distort our perception of what
is happening now, which only serves to affect our ability
to perform to our capabilities.

Is that what you really want?

So the next time you go to do something, watch yourself
and find out who has the power in the situation.....you.....
or your self-defeating memory patterns.

Isn't it about time you took back the power and started
controlling your life!.

Simply refuse to give further animation to these memory
patterns by re-focusing your attention on what is happening
in the present moment rather than on those past memories.

Are You The Master?
By John Colanzi ©2001

Have you noticed some of these posts in the forums or the
feedback sections of the marketing ezines?

- Is anybody really making money online?

- I've been promoting this program for months and I'm not
making any money. Is it a scam?

- What's the best program to promote?

- What's the best product to sell online?

Well if you're still asking these questions, you don't
under-stand.

Product doesn't matter!

The program doesn't matter!

Unless the product or program is a scam, you can make money!

If someone is making money selling that product or service,
you can too!

Are they better than you?

Are they smarter than you?

I don't think so.

You've got to get it in your head before you can carry it on
your hip.

When you're ready the money will come.

I remember listening to an audiocassette years ago by a
marketer by the name of Rich George. He told the story of
"The Fiddle And The Bow."

It's been a long time since I listened to that tape, but the
ideas are just starting to sink in.

I wasn't ready to hear the message back then, but I am now
and hopefully so are you.

There was an auction in a small town and the next item to be
auctioned off was a dust covered fiddle and a bow.

The auctioneer announced "How much will you bid for this
fiddle and this bow?"

The bids came slowly and gradually reached $10.

The auctioneer was ready to bang the gavel to complete the
sale, when an elderly man in shabby clothes came up and
tugged on his sleeve.

They whispered for a short time and the auctioneer finally
gave in to the man.

The man walked up and took a handkerchief out of his pocket
to polish the fiddle and dust off the bow.

That old man began playing the most beautiful music that the
town had ever heard. As he finished he handed the fiddle
back to the auctioneer.

The auctioneer walked up to the microphone and announced
"How much will you bid on this magnificent violin and this
exquisite bow?"

The bidding was fast and furious and that violin sold for
ten thousand dollars.

What was the difference between that fiddle and the
magnificent violin?

The touch of the masters hand.

Are you the master?

I hope you don't take as long as I did to let this lesson
sink in.

Stop selling steaks and start selling the sizzle.

Wishing You Success,

John Colanzi

PS: Rich, thank you wherever you are.
