Learn, Grow & Prosper

Barry “The Man” Wells put up a challenge I Am Showing You Mine But Will You Show Me Yours?  Those who accepted were to make a video and post it on their blog.  A week later Barry posted the links of all those who took part, which I did, and we were kindly asked to visit each blog, showing our support to each other.  So, off I went and Whow!  I mean Whow!

I take my hat off to every one of you.  This is in appreciation and a thank you to ‘Barry Wells’ and ‘The Challengers’ for all their great tips, tricks and ideas I have collected and created a one click link to The Network Discovery Channel’s Resource and Reference Library.

Below are the links, and a jotted note of what I learnt (very hard to keep it short) each opening a chapter to a wealth of information, of which you now, if you don’t already, have access to.  I may have added a “name in quotes” on some, that is for me, for my reference association – person to blog/info, (fills the holes in the head).

Adrienne Smith  “The Lady on a Mission”  LinkedIn, Adrienne’s video showed me simple ways to make your links stand out & to put LinkedIn’s available tools to good use.

Ian Ieba  “The Dark Horse”  And that folks, is where I’m going to leave you on this one.  If you want to see the light …. you’ve now got the switch.  I’d need a single post to briefly tell you what I’ve learnt from Ian.

Jacinta Dean  “The Aussie Sheila”  Twitter is no exception to being used for spammers.  Jacinta’s easy way to check up on and sort out your twitter followers and those you follow.

Mike’ll Fix it Shepherd   With Mike’s 5 Click Solution video, I fixed my 500 Error.  Nice one Mike, thank you.

Dee Ann Rice  It was too late for me, but Dee Ann could save you.  She will demonstrate two different ways of uploading videos to your blog using i) YouTube and ii) an FTP program.  And now I know, I did do it right – eventually.

Ed  “The Young One” Edwards Ebay niche store research expert.

Kathy Dobson  I found this post is in itself full of great tips.  Kathy’s video shows how easy it is to improve frame area around images, avoiding the crammed in look.

Stuart Turnbull   “The Arts Guy”  Research it, buy it, sell it – profit – put the kettle on.

Eamon Diamond  Putting creativity into video making with Camtasia + a good tip when entering codes on your blog post on html without them being stripped when switching back to visual.

Igor Griffiths   2nd lesson – Turn your phone OFF vibrate before recording!  Split testing, didn’t know, do now.  Igor shows how.

Craig Sowerby  “The War Room” Craig’s peace-time tactics to list building.

Robert Corrigan   Another great list building method – Giving it Away – Mad, or …

Randy “The Rambler” Smith  (and that came from himself) If you have your own products, Randy has a top software program to set-up an affiliates resource page.

Nick Lawless  “The Gold Digger”  Australian, gold digging, Lawless!  How far back have you gone on your family tree Nick?  You all know the history right?  Keyword research success, great lesson.

Mandy Allen  “The Blogging Blogger”  Adding an opt-in box with graphics to your sidebar widget, quick and easy.

Vance Sova   Beer Drinking with Androids!?  “The Meet-up” on screen now.

Michelle “Reloaded” Lyall  A video to inspire.  Great song.

Rick Byrd  Cloak it!  Why and How.

Nikki Stephens   “The Purple Witch”   Great stuff, set up all my email accounts in one, using googlemail.  Keeping them separated and organized by sorting them into folders.

Michele Welch   An additive to your social media marketing.  You name the day and time, Hootsuite will send your messages out.  Michele explain’s how to set it up.

David Taylor   Have your spam washed away from the source (psst, David’s going to be running a competition very soon & the prize is a copy of this software … shhh).  Just one thing, there are post reading instructions here: 1) read post up to the video, 2) watch video, take your notes and 3) read rest of post.

Dawn Kay  Add an audio plugin to your post, Dawn show’s how.  An audio to those wonderful encouraging notes from Sally would have been great.

That’s it from me for now.  If you haven’t already been there and see them – do it!   And let me know your thoughts.  If I have missed anyone from the challenge, please tell me – my notes are rather … na ya … less said the better.

Take Care Now

I had this presentation sent to me and thought it was just wonderful.  A father takes his son on a short break as he wanted to show him how poor people live.  Perhaps in the hope the child would learn to appreciate what he has and know how lucky his is. 

Rich people, poor people, through the eyes of a child.

Take Care

Newly released that is.  After more than 70 years, the Hill family has let the Napoleon Hill Foundation release Napoleon Hill’s book Outwitting the Devil.

Written in 1938 and to be the sequel to Think and Grow Rich, Outwitting the Devil was hidden away for more than 70 years.  When friends and family read the manuscript, they were so shocked, fearing Napoleon would be exposed to criticism and controversy and ending his career, the manuscript was hidden away, unpublished.

Digging deep to identify the greatest obstacles faced reaching personal goals; fear, procrastination, anger and jealousy which Hill labels as ‘Tools of the Devil’ and if let to control can lead to ruin.  Here, he reveals principles of good, allowing us to triumph over these obstacles and succeed.

I enjoy reading Napoleon Hill’s work very much, even though he passed away so many years ago, his good work goes on.

Enjoy
Julie
