I got the phone call this morning that you DON’T ever want to get – “Hi, this is so-and-so from such-and-such hospital in Toronto and your mother fell down the steps this morning and broke her hip. She is here awaiting surgery.” My mom is 95 and lives on her own, so this is the [...]
THRILLED to be Back Online
OMG, I’m connected to the Internet! Hurray!!!! Imagine being an Internet marketer at an affiliate marketing conference and not having an Internet connection from your hotel room for 5 days. Are you feeling my pain? Yup, despite paying $12.95 twice and $9.95 once, the Lodgenet service at the Rio was pathetic. Despite spending more than [...]
From My Home to Yours… Merry Christmas!

Pausch became famous for his inspirational Last Lecture: Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams (see video below) delivered in September 2007. Many professors give talks titled “The Last Lecture” in [...]
Colin McDougall Tosses a Cob
Affiliate marketing isn’t ALL work… trust me. Colin McDougall (VEO Report, 6 Minute Rankings and Fly on the Wall Club coaching program) and I have been friends for what seems like forever — or at least since he phoned me one day a few years ago with his empassioned plea for help after things in [...]
