OPTIONAL OFFER: Let’s get personal…(politics, religion, parenting, marriage, finding God’s purpose etc.)

I don’t try to hide my beliefs from anyone, but I also don’t blatantly throw them in anyone’s face either. At the central core of everything I do in business and life is a solid belief in God’s purpose and calling on my life. It’s who I am…but I don’t expect you to agree with me of course!

BUT THAT SORT OF CONVERSATION MAY NOT BE FOR YOU…and I respect that.

This is the last time I “go there” if you don’t want to hear about it…

My business and marketing ideas will work for ANYONE even if you don’t share the same beliefs I do about life, religion, politics, parenting etc. and I promise to keep those things to myself as best I can in my newsletter and even on this blog.

BUT….

If you ARE interested in hearing more about how those topics are central to my success (in my opinion) and you want to talk about these sorts of things with me and others (I promise we won’t always agree either), then listen up…

I’ve just launched a new email list that will give you details on how we can interact on such things. I’m gauging the interest level. Here’s how to join the list:

My latest eBay auction stunt

If you’ve been reading my blog or following my newsletter long enough you may recall that a couple of years ago I ran an auction on eBay that wound up going to a high bidder willing to pay $36,000.

I’ve been working with that winning bidder consistently since that time and it’s been a fantastic investment for him. Now I’m working with a great list of industry experts (and our $36K winner) again on a new project. Get the full details by clicking any of the images  in this blog post OR CLICK HERE. Hurry -  the auction ends January 23.

If you do stop by the auction could you take a moment to click a couple different links for me? The first one is the  “share” button for anyone willing to share this auction on twitter or Facebook. I would be very grateful if you could help me out with that.

The other link is the “watch this item” link in the upper right-hand corner of the auction page. Thanks for taking a moment to do that for me while visiting the auction. If you’d like to work with me on this extended project I’d be honored to give my best effort towards making your success and towards sharing the story of your success with others. Visit the auction for full details.

This auction is a great lesson in the power of online influence, email marketing, and social media (watch as the view counter on the bottom of the auction goes crazy).  There will be only one winner, but there will be great lessons in the entire process so pay attention!
