Where Did It Go? By Patric Chan

I was sipping a cup of coffee at Star Bucks yesterday in a shopping mall.

As I was sitting there, I saw a friend of mine going up the escalator and he was wearing an employment badge. I think it was, Intel.

You see, it's been YEARS since I last saw him.

And I could remember the last time we met— I could remember him as a fully motivated person... someone who is passionate about realizing his dream to be financially free one day. He told me that 3 years from that day, he'll buy the house and car he wants and travel overseas for vacation each year with his wife. Beautiful young couple.

A goal getter, he was. Probably still is. He was in multi-level marketing (MLM) business and each day, he'll meet someone to share his business opportunity. I mean, you like to be with him because of the positive energy that vibrates. Of course, he'll try to talk you into MLM business but that's another story. (smile)

What's weird is... why is he wearing an employment badge from Intel today?

I don't get it. How come he stopped pursuing the MLM business and went back to a job that wasn't his ideal lifestyle?

Hold on. Don't EVER think that employment is bad and you got to quit your job, etc because I'm not talking about THAT. I think many jobs offer fulfillment for many people. If this is not true, I wouldn't be employing my team members.

I'm talking about my friend here. Employment is ideal for others but I know it's not for him but he ends up there.

It's probably because he did not achieve his goal to be self-employed or became a business owner. So the closest resolution is to get back to work, since he has a degree in electronic engineering.

Do I feel sorry for him? No. Do I feel sad for him? No. It's just choices and there's a possibility that he finds fulfillment in his job now. What I felt is... wasted. Wasted dream when it's so near and yet, so far.

In life, many people throw in the towel when life's not working towards their favor.

But isn't that just... LIFE?

I'm not in any position to justify my friend's decision. That would be so inconsiderate and playing smart when I'm not.

But what happen to his dream? To his goal?

To be a speaker motivating hundreds or thousands of people and touching their hearts?

Where did that all go.

Somewhere at the bottom in his heart. I'm sure it's still there if opportunity arises again. But he might not do it again anymore because so much work is required now to start the 'engine'.

In your pursue of success, you're going to be battered with obstacles one after another like nobody's business. I'm not freaking you out. I'm telling you straight to your face so that you're all prepared and will know how to overcome them.

Always have faith in what you do.

It's like the light that shines on you when everything is dark.

Then you must have hope—A hope that you know soon to be a reality. That's something worth for you to do what you're doing today.

I don't want to sound rude but I think my friend has a lot of motivation but lack of HOPE and FAITH in his ability.

I could imagine where he will be if he had held on his faith and hope that he'll be successful today, after 3 years. Probably even richer than I am and work less because MLM business gives such powerful leverage.

I can't teach you about faith because I'm not a spiritual guru, neither a religion expert. But one thing for sure' it's always there in you. So I'm leaving it to your own capability to allow Faith to hold you through your journey of success, with a few bumps here and there.

Once you quit, it's going to be hard to come up again because your heart, mind and soul will feel 'tired'. It feels like starting from scratch again and that doesn't sound anything fun.

So if you want to achieve something— could be anything that you're pursuing now, don't ever quit. Keep this a promise to me, will you?

You can take a break, smell some roses. But never quit. Or else you'll be someone looking down when going up the escalator...

In The Attention Era Your Message have to Entertaining!

Do You ask yorself how you can cautivate your audience? your market? so you can keep your image in their minds whenever the problem you help them to resolve comes back to them?

Well! The formula is very easy but you have to implement it to it function successfuly.

It is GV+CM+CM+ET=$$$

GV= Give value (more value than expected)
CM= Clear message (KISS Principle: Keep It Simple Stupid!)
CM= Continuos marketing (Mantain your contact with your customer in every way possible, go where the fish are! Also re-use your content in every way possible that your audience can use)
ET = Entertain them (Create a creative story that involves and entertain your prospects! Don't sell--Do Marketing)

By the way!, here is an great example of what I'm talking about! This is a tv commercial, that goes to theaters, that thousands also saw it and refer in YouTube(and hundreds video sites more), and get passed by hundreds if not maybe thousands of people by facebook(thats how I found it thanks to my friend and network marketer Jaime Morales that post it there) and sites like twitter, stumble upon and also in dozens and dozens of blogs like mine. Do You UNDERSTAND NOW the power of this equation?

Yours in marketing success,

Friend, are you giving up?

Dear Friend,

It frustrates me when I see people get fooled by get-rich-quick scheme websites on the Internet. And believe me, there are tons of them out there, waiting to snatch some victims.

What about you, Friend?

Are you one of the victims?
Are you giving up your financial freedom?

Please don't.

Allow me to share with you some important truths that are essential to your internet success (and possibly to your mental well-being!).

Don't go chasing every internet marketing rabbit trail.

The internet is literally so big, and there are so many marketers trying to make a quick buck from YOU, that you could spend ALL day, every day just chasing illusions of internet riches.

If you only chase after those hyped up illusions every day, then you will NEVER find what you're looking for.

There does come a point where you have to take a small leap of faith and "try" something. In other words, you will have to do some work.

The problem is, whose method should you try? After all, your time is valuable and you don't want to waste it on hype.

The best advice I can give you is to find someone who has done it already, and do what they do. I'm not talking about someone who "says" they know some secret method. I'm talking about someone who IS making money.

That person could be me, or it could be another internet marketer that you've grown to trust. The bottom line is, there's just too much crap out there for anyone to find the right way on their own. It took me years to find the right way, and today there's exponentially more hype and
junk on the internet than when I started.

If I had to do it all over again today, starting with zero knowledge, I'd be totally lost.

Thankfully, there's a simple program that's going to save your time and money.

It's called “Legit Online Jobs.” http://legitonlinejobs.com

“Legit Online Jobs” has been in business since January 2005. HonestEonline.com, Trust-Guard.com and Truste.org have *PERSONALLY* reviewed this program and said it is not
hype - it’s the real deal.

Finally! :)

Please, don't waste your time on programs that don't work for you. There are so many opportunities out there that there's no need for you to waste your time on the ones that aren't working.

I hope that this advice will put you into the right frame of mind as you read this letter.

Have a great day!
