Are you afraid of fear? Get UN afraid NOW!
Fear sucks. It's responsible for more of my persoanl failures and keeps many people from not realizing their true potential. Some fear is good. Some is just plain unncessary and to me, has become an indicator that there's change a comin'!
How we react to that fear is often the decicing factor in whether the change will be a good change or a bad change…
Check out this article by Doug Sundheim from Clarity Consulting. Doug nails it on the head!
"The things we fear most in organizations — fluctuations, disturbances, imbalances — are the primary sources of creativity."
– Margaret J. Wheatley (author, organizational consultant)
Consider This:
One of the most misunderstood gifts that life gives a person or organization is a set of challenges. While rarely welcome, they serve the invaluable purpose of throwing you off of your game - usually when you need it most. They force you to stop - reflect - dig down - and get creative in order survive and thrive. You need challenges. They are the seeds of your greatest ideas.
The biggest mistake you can make when you come face-to-face with a challenge is to resist it. To beat yourself up for having gotten into the situation in the first place. When you do, you're putting your energy in the wrong place. Instead, get curious about how you got there. See it as an opportunity to learn and grow. Talk it out with others. Don't stay in your own head. Challenges themselves don't determine your quality of life - your relationship to them does.
Try This:
1. Think about something you're feeling bad about right now
2. When you think about this situation, what are you most afraid of?
3. Find someone to share your fears with. Make it someone you trust and who you can be honest with (This is an important step as your fears have a way of dissipating when they hit the light of day)
4. As you move past the fear, what do you see on the other side? (hint, your creative mind will re-engage and you'll begin to see possibilities that the fear was hiding)
5. Pursue those creative possibilities
6. Repeat frequently as new challenges arise

Stompernet Live - What's The Big Deal???
Finally you have a chance to come to a LIVE Stompernet Event!
First - Full Disclosure - I am On the Staff of Stompernet as a Professional Coach. I work with hundreds of Stompernet’s Clients, helping them keep their businesses growing and thriving.
Stompernet is a good thing! I really enjoy it a lot!
For those that are uninitiated to Stompernet -
Stompernet is the state of the art place to learn about marketing your business or services online. It's an "Ultra" comprehensive learning environment where we teach everything from Search Engine Optimization, Pay Per Click, Social Marketing,
One thing I really love is the interaction with the faculty. The members get a couple of calls a week where they can ask any question they want to of Guru's like Sherman Hu, the Wordpress genius, Dan Thies SEO expert, Don Crowther on Social Marketing or Andy Jenkins on anything online related! It's such a great hands on experience for the members. No where else will you find this kind of high touch environment! It's just too damn expensive to provide! And WAY too much work for most people selling internet marketing education.
So how do you get in to Stompernet. Well… right now you can't. We only open the doors a couple of times a year. You can get tons of free content from --escaped_anchor:bc4e35ed0ae88436aec23ec64665a740-- . Just that's an incredible education!
But I have a better deal for ya, a way that you can meet face to face with all of our Faculty, press the flesh with them, hound them with your most pressing questions as well as meet hundreds of other like minded Entrepreneurs and join me for an incredible dinner where you can question me till the wee hours! If we're lucky we’ll even get some of the faculty to join us. I'm sure if they know I'm paying they'll be there, they may be rich but their cheap! --escaped_anchor:42a9cae7fa6c8abedf34f91f35035cd5--
There's only one way to get this kind of attention from me and there's a very small supply of outsider tickets available. Stompernet Live has always been closed to the public, a 'members only" event. But I have a handful of tickets that I've been asked to share with my readers. Now this is not for you if you are just casually interested in internet marketing. This is Hard Core! Balls To The Walls Incredible content and absolutely no pitching! This isn't one of those come and join us for our flea market seminars. We would NEVER get away with that! Remember this is a members only event. The Members pay 10 grand a year they would crucify us if we went all commercial on them!
To give you a taste of the caliber of education you'll be getting meet our Friday Faculty presenter Paul Lemberg:
|
Paul is the REAL Deal! if you wanted to hire Paul as a Consultant he usually gets $100,000.00! Maybe you could talk him into a discount,… who knows!
But why even bother when you can get a full day of Paul's "Mind Dump" on
--escaped_anchor:de1189cb37ad71e90a1d6c3868fa996e--
Paul’s Friday presentation is just the beginning of what you'll experience. We'll have site reviews, tons of breakout sessions, cocktail hours where you and the other attendee's will hob-nob with the Faculty and share you challenges and success with each other.,
Don't blow these off, these are where millions of dollars are made in JV deals, problems solved, new ideas and innovations created! If Captain Morgan knew he'd definitely want his piece!
So you know you should be there, you know ya want to be there, how can ya get in?
Oh it's so great to be the gatekeeper! There’s only one way to get into this members only event AND have Dinner with and on me on Saturday night. Click below:
Once you have gotten your ticket E-mail me a copy of your receipt (MAKE SURE YOUR CELL PHONE IS ON THE RECEIPT)and I'll have Cate from my office call you to confirm our meetup for Dinner on Saturday,
Cate will be making the reservations and contacting you, so if you miss this step, you miss the boat for dinner! No Excuses, you need to take this last step or you'll be looking in from the outside!
I look forward to seeing you there! You WON"T regret it!
