Hi, Anthony, and fellow entrepreneurs!
Anthony, The call (my first) was very inspiring and I think I wrote down almost every word!!
I'm 'disabled' from childhood Polio after a 30+ year career as a nurse. Before this I was at the top of my game- a motivational speaker and nurse educator. I have not yet even received my books and DVD's yet, but have been watching videos, listening to audio, reading daily and immersing myself into learning. I have already set up specific times and goals for daily learning.
1. You asked for feedback on the call: I liked your references to college. I agree. Why spend the money to get this material and EVER find dust on it? I was already familiar with the basic concept of affiliate marketing, but wow, has my knowledge already expanded, just in the last week, while waiting for my materials to arrive. I see a very realistic map I have already started laying ouot for myself. Thank you for the massive energy you put in to further education and motivation! It is quite contagious!
1. What would I like to hear about on the next call? I decided to not answer this yet because I need more info to read, watch, listen & learn what is already here for us, (I don't yet know what I don't know!) but I plan to fully participate in this live community!
3: What will I do to hold myself to (ever) higher standards? This one will possibly be easier for me than some. I am already a goal setter- daily, weekly, monthly and so on- in writing daily. I check in with myself at night before going to sleep and evaluate my accomplishments: spiritual (as in giving to others and improvng my own character), mental, financial and emotional; and how I can improve in each area (via journaling for 15 or so mnutes before bed); like how to manage my time better, utilizing my habitual organizational skills, etc. I have learned so much from having to be on 'disability' for 9 years. (I renamed it, "less-ability"; as I am still me , just in some physical pain and now I walk with a limp) and it is all managable by how I choose to perceive and face the physical pain + the sequalae of the stuff that comes with these physiological challenges. So, I hav e an egg timer. When I find myself in a (now much more infrequent) self-pity/why me party, I set my egg timer to 9 minutes. That's all I give myself, because I would rather be happy. Then I splash my face with cold water and find something positive and/or constructive to do. I miss helping other people, which is what I did for 30 years. Procrastination can sneak up on us- not just via laziness, but through indulging negative emotions- especially in a redundant manner! We can choose our thoughts and how we react to any- even the seeming most unbearable challenges, so I have learned (ahem, the hard way)... to choose to be happy and creative and grateful. This is how I do and plan to hold myself to a higher standard. I have seen many very ill people in my life. I am grateful for every day I am Blessed with!
3: My goal is to return to my very excellent income or even more. As you explained the many ways to utilize FACE BOOK, I got so excited, and I'll tell you why (below). I think my experience(s) may help some folks generate some supplementary ideas; building on the massive amount of info you packed into this call, or at least I sure hope so!!
So, here goes:
Due to (me) coping with the severe pain I am in due to late effects of childhood Polio, I went (kicking and rebelling) 9 years ago- had to 'cease working'. It took me about a week to set up a successful eBay Store and begin to sell my rare books. About a year ago, a severe fall really slam-dunked me, so I had to be in bed a lot more. I learned about Face Book from my 20-something daughters, and got on Fae Book. Before long, I discovered a couple of very popular games, and I started playing. Geat distraction at the time- away from the immense pain I was in. (Beware, it is very addictive). Befoe I knew It, I had close to 3000 gaming friends, and am still on teams. I am not an active player any more, but it dawned on me during the call that I am still receiving friends requests (from the games lists). You mentioned many specifics to use as variables. I'd like to add - other countries to this, widening the possibilities to international proportions! And to think I already have so many acquaintances; well, you can imagine how exciting my possibilities are! I do not suggest people start playing games to gain new acquaintences. However, join lots of fan pages yourself and causes. It's another great way to gain access to new friends and a great way to participate in charity, the political process, and so on.
So, that's my story for now. Waiting for your books and Mastery Level Materials!
Thanks,
Miri ("MirSho")
