If a person was to break an arm before having to sit an exam, most schooling organizations will be accommodating in setting up special exam assistance. But should you suffer anxiety or panic attacks, then the situation is less likely to receive sympathetic attention.

Realizing, many of our GJW members are not exactly prone to breaking bones to avoid seminars, but could suffer varying forms of learning disabilities up to and including panic attacks at the idea of coming in to learn what we might consider the easiest of tasks, we set up MoneyLegs March Madness Open House.

The concept is simple. We come up with a Learning topic of utmost value to your marketing results, then throw the seminar time open for questions and answers. Probablyly nothing of the course outline will ever be covered. The point here is to make it as easy as possible for anyone who knows they need this training to investigate both the staff trainers who will be giving these seminars, and the content that could create anxiety or panic attacks.

While every seminar is vital to your end results, nothing should be presented in a manner that creates life and death hardship. Instead, we are interested in presenting a comfort zone that allows our students to gain the best results from both seminar content and interaction between student and trainers.

Recession talk is both necessary from the point of understanding we all are suffering from lost jobs, high cost of living, medical coverage needs, lack of cash to pay off high interest debt, and much more. The stress of meeting what looks like the impossible mountain to climb, creates a mentality of thinking time is the enemy and far too often that all is hopeless.

However, recession talk from the point of News media, shock and cause a feeling of loss of control. It is fear mongering at its worse.
Listening to this tirade is totally unnecessary, creating a void that is best overcome by taking some form of action. Thus you can never lose by bettering your education. The time spent worrying is better spent training your mind to internalize the steps you can take to gain back some control over what is happening in your life.

While we cannot change the chaos out there, we can provide the stability and comfort of helping you stay on your feet and ready to replace the negativity of doom and gloom with something far more important - your confidence in being able to change negative fear to a possible opportunity.

Check the scheduler and come sit in on a seminar. The life you change may be your own.

Mentoring you with common sense.

Using a blog has become one of the most popular methods of promoting an affiliate program profitably today. What is great about a blog is that in many cases you can post your article or business review to it for free. Free blogs serve a great number of purposes today and promoting your affiliate program is just one of the many uses for a free blog. Why should you spend hundreds or thousands of dollars in promotion and advertisement of your affiliate program? All you need is a free blog and some good information to offer your visitors. With these two simple items, you could dramatically increase the amount of traffic you get for your affiliate program.

What is a blog?

Well, if you have not discovered the fun and potential profits of a free blog by now, you have been living in the dark ages. Blogs are everywhere and you will find every topic and subject matter you could possibly imagine. Take, for instance, using a blog to promote your affiliate program.

The key point in posting to a free blog, is to generate interest in your users and make them click that ever-special link directly to your affiliate program.

Doing so will help drive people to your blog and further on to your affiliate program. That means more traffic for you.

Free blogs vs. upgraded blog membership.

Now, a free blog is of course free, however, many web sites that offer free blogs will also offer you a paid upgrade. With a paid upgrade membership, you can enjoy additional features such as editing the articles you post if the need arises, create and edit your own forum topics, and create URL aliases. You could also create and edit your blog pages to make them fit in well with the design you want. A blog host may even offer you the ability to create polls directly on your blog. This will allow you to determine what you need to know from you visitors in order to make a more effective blog for your affiliate program.

Free or upgrade, Increase your affiliate program signup rate.

Overall, the whole goal of your blog is to promote your affiliate program to increase signups, upgrades and increased profits. When you promote your affiliate program, you increase the amount of exposure that your program receives. This will ultimately increase the amount of commissions you receive. Promotion = Visitors = Commissions you have to love that formula!

Wrapping up ...

If you are promoting an affiliate program or two you will find no better way to step out in front of your competition in that affiliate program than using a free blog or upgrading your membership for increased branding. A free blog is your affiliate programs best friend.

From a book by Ken Blanchard, Susan Fowler and Laurence Hawkins called, 'Self Leadership and The One Minute Manager'

Instructions: Rank the following workplace motivators
according to their importance to you. Place the ranking (one
through ten) beside the motivator, with one being the most
important and ten being the least.

----- Interesting work
----- Full appreciation of work done
----- Feeling of being "in" on things
----- Job security
----- Good wages
----- Promotion and growth within the organization
----- Good working conditions
----- Personal loyalty to employees
----- Sympathetic help with personal problems
----- Tactful disciplining

You are to rate the importance of each and also give copies
to at least 5 of your colleagues. If you aren't in the work force
then give it to 5 members of your family and treat it as how
they feel about the family situation.

One insight 'Steve' in the book discovered was , "That our
bosses are not mind-readers." How can you expect them to
understand what motivates each worker? Steve came to the
conclusion that, "Ultimately, it's in your own best interest to
accept responsibility for getting what you need to succeed in
the workplace."
