THE ECA OPPORTUNITY by SFI president Gery Carson

With the recent launch of the ECA (E-Commerce Associates) Program, a couple of pretty big opportunities have just opened up for SFI affiliates. Let's explore them!

A few weeks ago, an SFI affiliate contacted me with a suggestion about us adding a product he was very excited about. I mean, REALLY excited about. As I explained to him, yes, we COULD try contacting the manufacturer and see if they would be open to furnishing the product to us at wholesale, and then we'd stock it and sell it at TripleClicks.

The reality is, however, there just isn't enough time in the day for us to go after every product that looks good out there. Nor is it our goal to have massive warehouses all over the world and stock and ship thousands of different products.

So I explained to him the way to make it happen, that the way to quickly get that product he was so excited about into TC, was through the new ECA Program. What's more, if he followed my advice, I explained he could be the recipient of many thousands of dollars in ECA Royalties over the years to come.

Has the lightbulb gone off yet? What I mean is, I bet that there are at least a few products YOU use that you swear by. You believe them to be outstanding in every way. You'd buy them at TripleClicks again and again and again if they were available. And you believe that EVERYONE ought to be using these products because they are so awesome, right?!

So make it happen! With our ECA Program, all it takes is a simple referral. Someday you may be telling people, "Yep, I made one referral...and made a million dollars!"

For details about how to refer ECAs, go HERE.

Imagine getting a product you truly love and are truly passionate about into TripleClicks. If you love it, so will others, maybe thousands or tens of thousands of others. Maybe thousands of them will put that product on Standing Order so they get it automatically month after month, and year after year. Think how incredible that would be!

And if that product is truly great, I bet you'll aggressively promote its page in TripleClicks because you truly believe in that product and you'll probably make a lot of sales because of your passion for it. And for the same reason, many, many other SFI affiliates may also decide to promote "your" product too...and with each sale, you can be earning lifetime ECA Royalties from all over the world!

"Yeah, that sounds really good, but I'm not a sales person," you might be thinking. Or maybe you just feel it would be too much work.

Well, as it's always been, "fortune favors the bold." Nothing worthwhile in life is ever easy. You WILL have to do some work. You probably WILL have to get out of your comfort zone. So what? What's the worst that could happen? Maybe you'll experience some embarrassment. Don't worry about it, it's not fatal and it passes quickly.

Maybe you'll end up spending many hours writing letters, making phone calls, etc. And maybe you won't get any responses for weeks. So what? Persistence is always a prerequisite of success in anything. If you keep at it, I assure you you will get responses, and some will be of the "yes, I'm in!" variety. And won't those lifetime royalties WAY more than make up for your time investment (that you probably would have otherwise wasted watching TV)? Yes, of course.

And maybe for that one product you really, really, really want in TripleClicks, you'll have to do something extraordinary. Maybe you'll have to write the president of the company a letter every day for a year. And maybe that president will ignore you for 364 days. But on the 365th day…persistence, as it often does, wins the day.

My point is, there are thousands of truly incredible products out there. And because I really do believe in "aiming high and dreaming big," I believe they should ALL be available for sale at TripleClicks. And with a little "aim high, dream big" of your own, there's no reason right now why you, YES YOU, can't get YOUR favorite products into TripleClicks with an automatic ECA Royalty paid to you on every sale for life.

By the way, if you need a little help turning yourself into someone who can make this happen, look no further than SFI's very first official ECA: Jack Zufelt–one of the world's most famous success experts and best selling authors!

What Jack teaches is so appealing and amazing he has been interviewed on over 2,000 radio and TV talk shows. PBS aired a special about him that was broadcast via satellite to 127 countries! The United States Senate honored him for teaching Americans how to achieve more success in their personal lives and careers! He was even awarded the Presidential Medal of Merit by the President of the United States! He is an amazing man with an eye-opening message that is helping people around the globe.

Within just a few days, if not hours, Jack's products will debut at TripleClicks. I urge all SFI affiliates to check out Jack's offerings. Watch for a special Jack Zufelt announcement with more details soon.

But I said opportunity was knocking on TWO doors, didn't I? What is the second door?

The second door is YOU becoming an ECA, becoming a true entrepreneur and creating a product of your own to sell at TripleClicks of course! And let's not forget having tens of thousands of your fellow SFI affiliates marketing and selling YOUR product!

Now, if you've never considered such a thing, this might sound like a pretty wild proposition. I understand that. But the fact is, there are THOUSANDS of products you could create and sell at TripleClicks. Some quick examples are art, crafts, gift baskets, and all forms of how-to information (books, e-books, special reports, etc.).

But this is just the tip of the iceberg. I did a quick search for "home business" under the Books category at Amazon.com just now. Here are just two books of over 2,200 it found that you can acquire to get ideas from:




850 ideas in just these two books! Yeah, I think you can come up with some products you can create and sell successfully as an ECA at TripleClicks! You just have to decide you're going to do it...and then make it happen!

Here's another idea for you: Who are the biggest shoppers right now at TC? SFI Affiliates. What would SFI Affiliates be interested in buying?

How about specialized how-to information? Do you know how to successfully use classified ads...or build high-traffic Webpages...or do phone follow-ups for example? Write it up and put your copyright on it. Then sell it as a special report or e-book to SFI affiliates and millions of other Internet marketers.

How about custom Twitter backgrounds or splash pages?

Here's another one: SFI affiliates are constantly asking for good examples of email messages, welcome letters, follow-up messages, weekly newsletters, etc. If you're a good writer, you could create a book of such messages or even have monthly subscriptions for ongoing content. Do a good job with it and I might even give your creation my personal endorsement and recommend it to every new affiliate who joins SFI!

Be creative! Imagination is a "use it, or lose it" thing. You were born with great imagination and you can make it work for you again if you apply yourself.

And there's a big key right there: "Apply yourself"

Even though I came from a small town and a family of modest means, had no formal business education, and had no money to invest, I found the way to great success. And, in my opinion, the only difference between me and the "average Joe" is simply that I applied myself.

So I challenge you today. Will YOU apply yourself? Opportunity is knocking on two doors at this very moment. Seems like a great time to break away from the crowd and show the world what you got!

"Knock, knock"

"Who's there?"

"ECA"

"Come right in!"

GENERAL TIPS

1. You're approaching businesses. If you want to be successful in getting referrals, you need to come across as a professional. This means wearing the proper attire if you're going into stores or meeting with decision-makers. It means using professionally-printed letterhead, envelopes, and other literature. And so on.

2. Business cards aren't absolutely necessary, but are recommended.

3. Want to really get creative in your marketing? There's an absolute WEALTH of ideas available to you in books like the following three recommended titles (available from Amazon.com or other major booksellers). Extract just one useable idea, and you pay for the book a hundred times over or more!

Financially Independent In Three Years Through SFI

Wish you all a great month. I am sure this year is going to be a year of Prosperity, Abundance and Great Health. 

There is a time to sow and a time to reap. If you sow more, you will reap more. If you sow little, you will reap little. You cannot sow and reap in the same season. Everything has a season. 

If you think of poverty, you will become poor. If you think of prosperity, you will become rich. If you keep your mind healthy, your body will be healthy. If your mind is weak and timid, the body will become sick and stressed out.

People always talk about their bills, pay checks, and their circumstances. I will advise you to talk to your inner mind and also to your friends and family about good health, prosperity and happiness. The more positive thoughts you feed your mind, the healthier your mind and body becomes. 

A good friend of mine became a millionaire in one year using "auto suggestion." Auto Suggestion helps you to reprogram your subconscious mind. If your mind is negative, filled with fear, doubt, and worry, you will live in a negative vibration all the time. Everything in this world is energy. We are nothing but energy. If you have negative energy all the time, you will have a very painful life. If you have positive energy, you will have a very successful and fruitful life. 

It is very easy to change from negative to positive. It takes 21 to 30 days to change the way you think. Start saying to yourself,

I am a happy person, and I make other people happy.

I always think good thoughts in my mind.

I am very rich. I am a Millionaire.

Repeat that 100 times before going to bed. The good news is you don't have to meditate or relax your mind. Again, repeat it 100 times when you wake up in the morning. Right through the morning, repeat the same affirmation. Your old thoughts will come and bombard you, but don't worry...slowly, your old thoughts will give way to the new thoughts. If you want to become rich, you should think of riches all the time. If you want to be healthy, you should think of health all the time. If you want to be poor, think of poverty all the time. It is your golden choice. 

Enjoy every minute of your life. See life to the fullest. The mediocre see the cup as half empty, a prosperous person see it as half full. Whenever you have time, say to yourself:

I am healthy. I am happy. I am rich. I am successful. I love myself. I reject all thoughts that cause worry and anxiety. Worry is a useless habit. I am calm and peaceful person. I always make other people happy. I am kind person. I give my love to the poor and needy.

You cannot become rich by working for someone. You will make your boss and your company rich. SFI could make you rich with as little as 20 minutes a day. Send newsletters to your affiliates every week. Send motivational tips. The way you can make money in SFI is by helping other people. The more people you help, the more successful you become. 

SFI really works. Become an Executive Affiliate and start earning money. Talk to your friends, colleagues, barber, dairy owner, super market staffs, your dentist, courier person, mail delivery person, and paper boy. You won't know who is waiting for an opportunity.

I e-mailed couple of my friends. I got a response from two of them saying they were glad I e-mailed them. They were looking around to start a home business. Immediately they joined. 

There is opportunity everywhere. There are 7 billion people in this world. All you need is three good people to help you. If you set your goals—with a purpose, a road map, and persistence and determination—you will be on your way to success. 

Surround yourself with successful people. Read motivational and sales books. Read autobiographies and biographies of great men and women. Listen to tapes and watch videos. If you follow these instructions for the next two years, you will be a different person. You will think differently; your knowledge will be different from other people; you will walk differently; you will respect other people; you will have more money in your bank account; and, above all, you will have great health. 

Reading makes a full person. See Gery Carson (founder and president of SFI) as your role model. Spend time with two or three people who have the same interest as yours. Have a master-mind program. Help one another, and things will come easy for you. Share your experience, knowledge, and wisdom. 

If you spend two years working the SFI program, you can earn $5,000 a month...it just takes a little effort.

Let this year be a year of prosperity, abundance and great health.

 

Remember, overcome procrastination, motivate yourself, and be the person you want to be! See yourself as successful. YOU create your circumstances...circumstances never create you. It is your choice. To become rich is your choice; to become healthy is your choice; to become confident is your choice. You are created in the image of God. God wants you to be successful, prosperous, confident, happy and blessed.

Show unconditional love and, above all, charity. Give 10 to 15% to the poor and needy. When you give money to the poor—the poor won't be able to return the money back to you—you are lending to God, and He will pay you back 10 times more. Don't say to yourself "When I get the money I will give." It will never happen. Give what you have and see the difference. First, you will become a different person and, secondly, you will be filled with love, joy, good health, and prosperity.

If you haven't done so yet, go here for a list of actions you can take to accumulate VersaPoints and attain the Executive Affiliate rank.

Keep in mind, many network marketing programs cost you more than $1,500 dollars to start. With SFI you can start your own home business with "0" dollars! A fantastic organisation...Be a part of it.

Wishing you the very best.

Why SFI Works For Some & Not For Others

Which will it be for you?

 Thanks to Bill Alland
TEXAS, USA

When listening to other SFI affiliates on forums, conference calls, and e-mail, you hear SFI success stories and you hear wailings of dismay.

Which ones are true? Both!

Here's why:

SFI works, if you...yes, YOU...

A. Do a little work,
B. Make a tiny commitment, and
C. Do your small part each and every month.

Simple as A, B, C!

Don't follow this simple plan, and you'll find yourself among the wailers.
Commit your efforts to your SFI business and, very soon, you could have your own SFI success story to share with others.

That's because you'll have a plan, a pattern to go by.

Follow the path, the instructions, the recipe, and consistently and persistently duplicate the efforts of others who succeed...and the chances are excellent that you too will succeed!

Don't do your small part, and you're on your own. And it's quite likely you will fail.
Why? People who join an opportunity and then sit back without putting forth the effort are what the industry labels "lookie-loos" or "tire kickers." They walk around the system, check it out, form their opinions, and come to their premature—and often incorrect—conclusions.

And that's OK. After all, it's human nature to want to check something out before jumping right into it. What's NOT OK is when these same people fail to consider there's a better way. They don't stick around long enough to understand and learn about the opportunity sitting right in front of their faces. They then go off on their own without ever realizing that there are literally hundreds of people who have been where they are and who can show them exactly what to do and how to succeed.

They make the BIG mistake of never trying out SFI for themselves, of never following the pattern, the plan, the path already laid out and marked for them. They never commit themselves to success or the SFI home-business system. They don't do their small part. And what happens? They come to the incorrect believe that SFI can't do anything for them. Or, they simply sit back and watch, waiting for others to do it all for them.

Either way, they fail!

But you don't have to be one of them. The fact that you're reading this right now proves that you're ready for success and are willing to put forth the effort to get it.
So, what IS your small part? What can you do NOW to help ensure your home-business success?

Simply this:

1) Find someone—anyone—who wants Security, Freedom, Income, or ALL THREE. Chances are, you know dozens, maybe even hundreds, of people that fit in this category, people who are desiring these things in their lives right now. Just pick ONE.
Then introduce yourself. Get to know that person and let him or her get to know you. Make sure they're in the market for the things you have to give away and sell. Don't mention SFI yet. Instead, focus on the benefits: the tons of free training materials, courses, articles, etc.; the great features of the SFI home-business program; and the quality products and services available.
After you've begun to build a relationship of trust and mutual interests, then—and only then—introduce them to SFI and let the program close the sale for you.
It's at this point that one of three things will happen:

• Your prospective customer will not buy into SFI and will go on to something different,
  
• The prospect will like what he/she sees and become a customer of yours and SFI's,
  
• He or she will join you and the SFI global opportunity...or better yet, both 2 and 3!

Remember the saying: "Some will. Some won't. So what? Next!" Don't spend your time worrying about the "lookie-loos" and "tire kickers." Move on to your next prospective home-business team member or customer!
After you've performed this small task, what's left for you to do?

Just two more things:

2) Set an example for your personally sponsored SFI affiliates by committing yourself to success with SFI. Be sure to retain your EA (executive affilate) status each and every month to maximize your earnings.

3) Let your personally sponsored affiliates know that they too must commit to SFI and do their small part to reach success. It's the way folks succeed with SFI and make money. In other words, these new folks must do as you have done...or fail.

It's called Teaching and Duplication. 

 

Tell your team members what you know and show them where you found that information. Then, simply repeat the process again with another person...and keep on doing it.

It's that simple: 1, 2, 3. Nothing else. Following this simple recipe, you can now refuse to wail in dismay and separate yourself from the "tire kickers" and "lookie-loos"...the people who never get it, and who never do it. People who will always be wondering how others have succeeded and who will never make it big...in anything, ever. 

The bottom line? Take charge of your SFI business now, and join the people who get it!

And remember: "If it's to be, it's up to me!"

Dispelling An SFI Myth

A special message from SFI President & Founder, Gery Carson

One of the biggest misconceptions about SFI is that there is a monthly fee or purchase requirement.

This is, of course, completely FALSE.

There is NEVER any cost to be an affiliate. And you can earn VersaPoints and corresponding benefits, perks, and payouts through a variety of actions. 

Yes, thousands of SFI affiliates DO purchase SFI products for themselves. It only makes sense, after all, to buy from TripleClicks.com, "your own store"—especially those items that you are already purchasing from someone else (more on this in a moment). However, this is TOTALLY OPTIONAL.

The best way to accumulate VersaPoints and attain Executive Affiliate rank is to generate 1,500 SVP instantly via a purchase at the TripleClicks store...OR...without any personal purchases by taking the actions outlined HERE. 

In fact, SFI has a wide variety of products available with varying VersaPoint totals attached for you to offer your customers and prospective affiliates. As few as one customer sale a month can get you to Executive Affiliate rank each month!

How do you make these sales? The easiest way is to check out the numerous strategies outlined at the Member Referral Methods page.

By the way, each time one of your TC customers or one of your PSAs places an order at TripleClicks.com, you earn 45% of the CV. PLUS...as an Executive Affiliate, you'll earn shares from the TripleClicks Executive Pool, become eligible for Co-Sponsor Commissions and ECA Royalties, pick up free TripleClicks TCredits, get co-sponsored affiliates added to your team each month, and more! For a list of ALL benefits you'll get from accumulating VersaPoints, click here.

 

BUYING FROM TRIPLECLICKS.COM, YOUR OWN STORE

As an SFI affiliate, you are essentially a partner of SFI's. You truly need to think of the SFI product line as YOUR product line. Hence, it only makes sense that when you buy products and services, you always shop your own store first.

If you owned a bakery, I'm certain you wouldn't be buying cinnamon rolls from Winchell's Donuts down the street. If you owned a Ford dealership, I'm betting you wouldn't even think about buying a Chevy across town.

It's the exact same thing with SFI. Especially when it comes to products you're ALREADY buying. "Your store" almost certainly carries several products or services that you ALREADY purchase from a local store or other service provider. Why not transfer those purchases...to YOUR store?

Remember, we're not talking about spending extra money, just changing where you're buying it from.

In doing so, you're taking action that supports the growth of your SFI business and the businesses of your entire team.

Additionally, your upline leaders (your Sponsor and Team Leaders) earn commissions each time you buy from your SFI store. And while that may not excite you right now, it surely will when later you have your own team of hundreds or thousands of affiliates and you're earning commissions on every purchase they make!

So where do you go when you're ready to shop your store? Just head over to TripleClicks.com—YOUR store.

 

 

Are You Ignoring 80% Of Your Market?

 

Why You Should Be Reaching Out Across The Globe!

 

 

 

 

 

Did you know that by the end of 2011, the worldwide number of Internet users had grown to more than 2.27 BILLION people—nearly 40% of ALL the people on the planet?! Did you also know that mobile consumer spending alone is expected to grow 13.4% in 2012 to reach $138 billion in global sales? With statistics like that, the future of commerce certainly seems to belong online!

Consider as well that although the U.S. led the pack as of December '11 for the percentage of its population online (78.6%), that number still constitutes only 12% (and shrinking) of Web surfers worldwide—a relatively small segment of online users!

Studies confirm that the true current and future online growth is and will continue to be in the world's most populous countries, such as China, India, Brazil, Russia and Indonesia. For example, the Asian continent ranks first worldwide for the sheer number of Internet users—1 BILLION and growing. Moreover, since 2000, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America have witnessed an astronomical increase of online users: a cumulative, 11-year 2,988.4%, 2,244.8 %, and 1,205.1% growth rate, respectively!

Not coincidentally, we also continue to see a dramatic increase in new SFI affiliates from these same regions coming in the door, with India, Indonesia, Philippines, Pakistan, Maylasia, and Bangladesh all in the top 10!

Make no mistake about it: Asia, India, and these other rising economic powerhouses around the globe represent a HUGE POTENTIAL for every home-business owner. MASSIVE developments in technology, improvements in standards of living, and increasing disposable income are opening the floodgates to a vast array of virtually untapped business possibilities.

That said, it's important to realize that this trend represents MUCH MORE than an interesting sideline marketing strategy for your business. Ignore this burgeoning source of increasing profits, networks, team members, prospects, and resources, and you do so at your own peril. If the U.S. is still your sole online market and source for customers, prospects, and team members, you're GREATLY limiting your reach...AND your profits. After all, what business owner would willingly turn away 80% of the possible customers coming into his store? Answer: The kind of owner who won't be in business much longer!

Fortunately, the worldwide growth and reach of the Internet has leveled the international playing field for the small-business owner. Home-based entrepreneurs no longer have to leave international markets to the "bigger" companies and enterprises with deep pockets. For example, SFI offers lots of features especially designed for the international arena. As a leader with affiliates around the world, you'll want to become familiar with these resources. And keep your eye out for more tools and features specially designed for SFI International Affiliates.

Additionally, you can find a plethora of budget-friendly resources online to help you reach across the globe to prospects, customers, and team members in other countries. Pay-per-click pricing for the popular Google Adwords service and other PPC search engines has risen dramatically for U.S.-targeted advertising. However, many offer country-specific search engines and PPC ad opportunities—often for a fraction of the cost!

Take a few moments now and check out these Websites. They'll make a great starting point for planning your international business focus:

• Google International
  
  • Adwords: Regional and Local Targeting —Target your PPC ads to appear only in specific country, region, or city searches. This allows your ads to appear only for people searching for results in regional areas you choose.
    
  • Looking for good online advertising sources in a specific country? Try this Google search page. Simply enter the country in which you want to limit your search results, enter your keyword (i.e., online ads, classifieds, etc.), and click the Find Opportunity button.
    
  • To find a Google search engine for a specific country, click HERE for a list of Google URLs.
    
  • To pick up some tips on viewing Google search results in specific languages or originating from other locations and countries, check out this tutorial.
    
• Search Engine Watch: Pay-Per-Click Search Engines—Get information on major PPC search engines, second-tier PPC players, and more.

As an SFI Affiliate doing business and targeting prospects outside the U.S., you've got SFI's powerful, global business opportunity helping bring you the financial freedom you've been looking for...IF you take advantage of it.

Start developing your international focus today. Don't make the mistake of ignoring 80% of your potential market—you can bet your competition won't!

Some Thoughts On Goals

Insights & quotes from successful people

 

 

Personal leadership must come from the inside out. You cannot wait for someone else to push you; you must motivate yourself through goal setting.
- Paul J. Meyer

If you do not consciously decide ahead of time where you are going, you may very easily end up somewhere else. - Laurence J. Peter

A goal without a plan is just a wish. - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don't define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them. - Denis Watley

To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe. - Anatole France

First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do. - Epictetus

Give me a stock clerk with a goal and I'll give you a man who will make history. Give me a man with no goals and I'll give you a stock clerk. - J.C. Penney

You got to be careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there. - Yogi Berra

A successful individual typically sets his next goal somewhat but not too much above his last achievement. In this way he steadily raises his level of aspiration. - Kurt Lewin

The big secret in life is that there is no big secret. Whatever your goal, you can get there if you're willing to work. - Oprah Winfrey

The person with a fixed goal, a clear picture of his desire, or an ideal always before him, causes it, through repetition, to be buried deeply in his subconscious mind and is thus enabled, thanks to its generative and sustaining power, to realize his goal in a minimum of time and with a minimum of physical effort. Just pursue the thought unceasingly. Step by step you will achieve realization, for all your faculties and powers become directed to that end. - Claude M. Bristol

Failure is not in an unsuccess goal, but in having no goal to reach. - Benjamin Mays

The purpose of goals is to focus our attention. The mind will not reach toward achievement until it has clear objectives. The magic begins when we set goals. It is then that the switch is turned on, the current begins to flow, and the power to accomplish becomes a reality. - "The Best of Success," by Wynn Davis

The most important thing about goals is having one. - Geoffry F. Abert

Until input (thought) is linked to a goal (purpose) there can be no intelligent accomplishment. - Paul G. Thomas

You will now have a starting place and a destination, and you will be able to determine what it will cost you to get there...You will be going someplace. - H. Stanley Judd

ABOUT HOPES AND DREAMS FOR A BETTER LIFE

Have you given up on any hopes and dreams you once had?

Sadly, we all have at one time or another.

It can be a struggle to keep them alive throughout the ups and downs of our lives.

Think back to when you were 10. As a kid, perhaps you wanted to be a superhero or a superstar, a princess or a prince. Whoever it was you were going to grow up as, it would be someone spectacular.

Those were the glorious days when the only limits on what you could become were beyond the boundaries of your own imagination.

You see, you weren’t born with low expectations of what you could achieve in life.

Then, one day, you started to expect less.

Anything was no longer possible for you. Or, so you began to believe.

Expecting Less

 

It’s only natural that many of our childhood hopes and dreams wither away. After all, not everyone is destined to become an astronaut and walk on the moon!

Some people say that we simply have to lower our expectations because that’s what ‘real life’ is all about. They argue that hopes and dreams are warm, fuzzy ideas that vanish in the cold light of reality.

Of course, we’ve all experienced the pain of being let down when something we’d hoped for never comes to pass. And, very few of us have escaped the shattering effects of a broken dream. These feelings can leave us devastated.

Our hopes and dreams can, indeed, be cruelly dashed.

We prefer to protect ourselves from disappointment by not raising our hopes and not daring to dream. It saves us from being hurt.

We stop hoping for so much.

We don’t dream as often.

We expect less.

When Expectations Are Not-So Great

 

Your hopes and dreams can come true. It happens to other people all the time so, why not to you?

If you no longer expect them to become real, you give up on making them happen.

Unlike in fairy-tales, hopes and dreams don’t just magically appear out of thin air. They take planning and plenty of action. Nothing worthwhile is created without effort. Sometimes, it takes an entire life’s workload.

But – when you lower your expectations of what is possible – those things you once thought you could do now seem impossible to achieve.

So, you give up and don’t even try.

Like that 10 year old kid you once knew who dreams of becoming someone spectacular.

We all know someone who gave up on their hopes and dreams far too soon.

Don’t abandon yours without giving it your very best shot.

What hopes and dreams do you have that refuse to go away? How have you turned them into a reality, despite setbacks?

Please share your thoughts in the comments section below. I’d love to hear from you.

THE BEAUTY OF THEIR DREAMS........

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”  – Eleanor Roosevelt

When things don’t go right, it doesn’t mean you have to go wrong along with them.

Goals and dreams are kind of like breathing – once you give up, there’s no hope left.  Don’t do that to yourself.

It’s always too early to quit.

You must continue breathing, even if it’s just a series of short, shallow breaths.

Continue putting forth even the smallest efforts to sustain your dreams.

Accept the fact that if you fight through the challenges, there is always a chance you might lose, but if you do not fight at all, you have already lost.

 "Pick-the-Price" (PTP)

Every Pricebenders auction also has a cool little contest attached to it called "Pick-the-Price" (PTP). 

Here are FIVE great reasons to enter the PTP:

A. It's 100% free for them to enter.

B. There's a PTP contest for every auction...so multiple times every day they have another chance to win.

C. We regularly add a PTP bonus which allows them to win the product being auctioned IN ADDITION TO the standard TCredits prize.

D. It's a great way to get your members engaged with TripleClicks and Pricebenders.

E. If your members have a PTP entry, they'll often hang around and watch the auctions to see if they predicted the final price. While they're doing that, there's a good chance they'll check out other parts of TripleClicks such as the Deal of the Day, Hot Deals, and TC Closeouts. They may also decide to start bidding on the auction they are watching.

You can Join and Enter the PTP at Latest Winners Site!

And while you're watching the auction to find out if you won, you'll have plenty of time to check out the Deal of the Day, the latest Hot Deals, TC Closeouts, and more at TripleClicks.
