Do You Vote?

A few days ago, I received the following email message (I've
edited out the personal details):

"Subject: Do You Vote?"

"Hi Tony,"

"I apologize ahead of time if this is in any way beyond the
boundaries of our communication..."

"I don't usually get into discussions where people have such
high emotions linked to their opinions on a topic."

"But, I made the mistake last night when provoked about
voting..."

"I believe I might have lost the goodwill of some people
last night due to my refusal to accept the fact that I
'SHOULD' vote."

"I had no facts, just a mere 'feeling' of it not being for
me... so I sounded pretty silly and even said a few
erroneous things concerning voting."

"I sounded like an uneducated idiot because of such
'feeling' based decision making."

"So, because I look up to you and see you as a very wise
person, I just wanted to know if you voted or not. So far,
nothing presented to me through my research has convinced me
that I "should".

Although, as a rule, I stay away from discussions even
remotely related to politics (at least publicly), the
importance and timeliness of this question make it deserving
of an answer.

Here it goes...

One of the many benefits of living in a free society is that
the very same freedom that grants you the right to do
something, grants you the right *not* to do it if you so
choose.

So...

I'm not going to address whether you should or shouldn't
vote, or why you should or shouldn't vote, I'm going to
merely answer the question of whether I vote or not and give
you my reasoning behind it...

Feel free to take from it what you will. :-)

Do I vote?

Sure do!

As a matter of fact, nowadays, Election Day is one of two
days a year (the other being the Fourth of July/Independence
Day) I use to "formally" discuss freedom, where it *really*
comes from, and how it's maintained with my son, who's now
ten years old, correcting the misinformation he's taught in
school.

Anyone who knows me well, knows that personal freedom (the
freedom to do whatever I want to do, whenever I want to do
it, without money being the deciding factor) is way up there
on my list of what's *truly* important to me, it's one of
the things I cherish most.

My ability to enjoy personal freedom and to continue to do
so flourishes best in a society where the freedom to do so
is granted by the people, by way of a higher "authority",
*not* government.

Unfortunately, and sadly I might add, because of the apathy
of the populace as a whole and the desire of some for more
power for themselves, our freedoms here in the United States
have been very slowing eroding over the years (and I'm not
talking here about just the "last eight years", so to speak,
I'm talking about over a period of many, many, *many*
years).

All that stands between further erosion and eventual loss of
these freedoms (and to have any chance whatsoever of their
being restored to what they once were), is people taking the
time to become informed and voting for those who will work
to protect those freedoms, as they were intended by the
"founding fathers", even though sometimes the choice may be
limited to who will do the least amount of damage at any
given time.

I think Ronald Reagan, former President of the United States
and Governor of the State of California, said it best when
he said:

"Freedom is always just one generation away from extinction.
We don't pass it to our children in the bloodstream; we have
to fight for it and protect it, and then hand it to them so
that they shall do the same, or we're going to find
ourselves spending our sunset years telling our children and
our children's children about a time in America, back in the
day, when men and women were free."

I, for one, don't want to spend my "sunset years" telling my
son and my son's children about a time in America, back in
the day, when men and women were free...

Therefore...

On November 4th (Election Day here in the United States)...

With my son standing proudly by my side...

As I have for many years...

I will be voting.

How Many Lives Do You Have?

- by Tony Mase

=========================================
Recently, I received the following email message (I've
edited out the personal details):

"Hi Tony,"

"For a long time now in many articles and other writings, I
see so many personal growth gurus make reference to 'your
many areas of life'."

"But they never explain or define what they mean by 'your
main areas of life'."

"What exactly do they mean by your 'areas of life'?"

"Are they talking about personal development, family life,
career, financial success, or what?"

"What exactly do *YOU* think they're talking about?"

"How do you describe the 'main areas of life' and how many
areas are there?"

"Thank you."

Good questions! :-)

Let's start with...

"What exactly do *YOU* think they're talking about?"

Having "been there, done that", so to speak, I can tell you
*exactly* what they're talking about...

Conventional self-help "guru" (real, wannabe, and otherwise)
"wisdom" has you divvying your life up into anywhere from
six to eight (plus or minus) main "areas" or "categories",
depending on who you want to listen to and/or what's in
vogue this week, for the purpose of "balanced" (whatever
that means) "goal setting" (something, you should know
upfront, I no longer do), creating what many of them refer
to as a "wheel of life".

These "wheel of life" areas or categories, again depending
on who you want to listen to and/or what's in vogue this
week, might include, but are not limited to: business,
career, community, education, ethical, family, financial,
health, home, mental, personal, personal development,
physical, recreation, social, spiritual, etc.

Hmmm...

Sort of makes your head spin just thinking about all these
potential areas or categories, doesn't it? :-)

But wait...

There's more!

I so love saying that. :-)

If that's not enough for you...

This conventional self-help guru "wisdom" has you go on to
set multiple long-range, mid-range, and short-range "goals"
in each and every one of the six to eight areas or
categories (or more!) of your "wheel of life", once again
depending on who you want to listen to and/or what's in
vogue this week, decide on deadlines for their attainment,
define the obstacles or roadblocks that stand between you
and each of these "goals", and then create detailed action
plans to overcome each of these obstacles or roadblocks to
attain your goals.

Now...

As lofty and noble as all of this may sound...

I can tell you from personal experience, as can practically
anyone who's ever attempted to follow such a "system",
there's one minor drawback to this whole process...

Are you ready?

Here it is...

It doesn't work!

Plain and simple. :-)

Why not, you ask?

Simple...

Should you ever manage to complete this complex, laborious,
painstaking, time-consuming process (which, although many
love to talk about, I can assure you very few ever *really*
have), your head is going off in so many different, very
often conflicting, directions and you're so inundated with
all the new "to-dos" you now have to do, along with
everything else you have to do, guess what you usually wind
up doing?

That's right...

More often than not...

Nothing...

Absolutely nothing!

And guess what?

No action equals no results, PERIOD!

If ever there were a surefire formula for *not* getting what
you want in life...

This is it!

Which bring us to the question of...

"How do you describe the 'main areas of life' and how many
areas are there?"

My answer to that question lies in the answer to this one...

How many lives do you have?

The answer to which is simple...

One...

That's right...

ONE!

Therefore...

My advice is to forget about all this "main areas of life",
"many areas of life", and "wheel of life" nonsense that's
been being continuously perpetuated and routinely
regurgitated over and over and over again for years, many,
many, many years, in self-help books, self-help audio
programs, and self-help seminars by most of the so-called
self-help "gurus" and, instead create *one* (the same number
of "lives" you have) crystal clear, definite, overall,
unified "vision" of what you want in your life.

Then...

And only then...

Will you begin making some *real* progress!

Your Clickbank commissions !?

There's been a ton of buzz around this system over the past few days and if you haven't heard about it yet, let me just fill you in...

It's called the "Commission Blueprint" - a radical formula created by Tim Godfrey and Steven Clayton that exploits Clickbank and Google in such a devious way that the resulting profits are in the realms of the *insane*.

Of course, you will have heard this kinda' thing a gazillion times before and to be perfectly honest so have I...

But after checking this out, I can give you rock solid confirmation that this is the real deal, especially if you want to replicate a simple system that generates MASSIVE Clickbank commissions.

Let me just throw some figures your way...

- $6,513.04 in one day

- $153,426.72 in 6 weeks

- $526,422.83 in 7 months.

...and the crazy thing is, these numbers were generated by promoting ONE Clickbank product, bidding on just ONE keyword...and without ANY help from JV partners or even an email list!

...not to mention the fact that this simple affiliate campaign took just a few minutes to set up.

How was it done?

Check out the story here:

This is a VERY VERY different ball game...

In fact, if you've ever wondered why most affiliates struggle to produce a red cent in profit whilst others effortlessly rake in unfathomable Clickbank commissions seemingly with their hands tied behind their back, then sit up and take note, because you're about to find out why.

----------------
The Best Thing?
----------------

You need no experience at all because they take you through the entire process on screen AND give you all the tools to actually make it happen.

----------------
The Weird Thing?
----------------

It's frankly bizarre that they're revealing this stuff. If it were me, I would've kept my mouth FIRMLY shut for sure.

These guys do 7 figures a year with Clickbank consistently and generate far bigger numbers than virtually anyone else on the planet.

Point being...if you're a suffering affiliate, you NEED this material. Badly.

----------------
The Bad News...
----------------

There are only very limited spots available and judging by how fast this has spread around the net, they'll go ultra fast... possibly in the next few hours.

It has literally just gone live though so you should be in time...

End result?

Affiliates who FAIL to get hold of this information will be left fighting for scraps and ultimately will be in a world of hurt from now on; that much I can assure you...

You can't afford to be left out of the loop with this one...

Use Your Mind to Age Faster or Slower

By Jon Benson
www.FitOver40.com

Probably the most common question I get other than "do you lift weights?" or "how much can you bench" is, "How do you get those abs?" Not many bodybuilders carry 6-packs around the entire year, and I'm no exception. However, during a 'peaking phase', my abs are pretty decent for a guy who was once completely obese!

They're shocked at my first response, and you will be, too: "What are you thinking about when you eat? "After a few seconds of blank stares, I usually get the reply, "I don't know... never really thought about it!" "Exactly," I say. "How do you plan on getting any part of your body to respond, including your abs, without concentration on the challenge?"

However, it's more than just 'concentration' - I'm literally telling my body what I want it to do with the food I'm eating, with the workout I'm doing, and with the cardio I'm performing. I often touch my mid-section to make a stronger connection. I'm constantly visualizing myself with the abs I want. I never waver from that vision. When I do, that's when the fat loss slows down. Sounds too hocus-pocus? Give it a shot and then talk to me!

Let me give you one brief example of the power of thought on the body, (and you can see dozens more in "Fit Over 40" ).

In the book "Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking" by Malcom Gladwell, a fascinating study was noted about the power of mere association with physical performance. A group of individuals were asked to read documents that were riddled with subtle "age" words, like "prune", or "wither". They were then asked to walk to a hallway to take another test. They were not told the reason for the readings, or why the readings changed.

The result? Each time the person read more "age" words, they literally ALTERED the way they walked down the hall. Speed slowed down considerably... even posture changes were noted. They literally began to "act old". If you think this does not work in reverse, think again.

By Jon Benson. You can see dozens of ab routines inside the Fit Over 40 e-book. Every ab routine will work optimally once you change how you perceive the power of your words and your thoughts!

Your PC running slow? Speed it UP!

Revolutionary product speeds up your computer



There are many reasons why your computer could be running slow...

I'm myself pretty much a hard core computer user, couple of friends have mentioned that if a new computer needs to be tested in just a couple of hours, it should be given to me.



Simply because my normal computer workload is pretty much at maximum at all times. I have Mozilla FireFox open with 20-50 different tabs, couple of Adobe Acrobat windows, couple of word files, Editplus (text editor) with 30 tabs, plus of course Adobe Photoshop, mail programs, MSN and these are just the main things.



So if a PC has a reason to strike for some reason, it should definitely be my computer. However, luckily I haven't really had any big problems except for speed issues due to my hardcore memory and CPU consumption. Most of the 'computer speed up' software out there focuses only on ONE problem area, but with a user like me, its far from enough. Products like "PC Doctor" and "Registry Fixer" are decent products but they leave a lot of your computer's speed potential unused (I know that after I have tested the product PC Secret Formula).


PC Secret Formula system covers all important areas so your computer is literally forced to perform at maximum speed and that's why I would definitely recommend the PC Secret Formula to everyone who feels their computer is running slower than it could be should be.


While I use my laptop around 16 hours a day, I haven't really done much to keep it running fast and safe. I run a firewall and anti-virus software. In the past I have tried some spyware software pieces, registry cleaners and so on, but overall they haven't done much good, some of them have actually screwed up my computer.

And this makes me happy to see a tested product, which teaches me how to do it all safely. At least for me it worked like a treat, really made my PC faster again and at the same time didn't cause it to blow up or anything like that.


Did you know that some anti-virus software might make your computer virus-free but at the same time take up so much of your PC resources that it makes your computer reaaaly slow?


Using PC Secret Formula


PC Secret Formula has been designed so that you run through the entire program step by step. First you get your machine cleaned up and to get familiar with software (btw, all the software names there are freeware, so no extra costs). It takes some time the first go around but it's very clearly explained.


You'll learn exactly what to do and most importantly, what NOT to do. How to use the software and a number of built-in Windows utilities to fix your slow computer. After that there's a regular maintenance plan outlined that will take much less time but will keep your machine in great shape.


Usually people charge a lot for just a registry cleaner, but in this package, its included! With this program you really get your money's worth plus more..


What I didn't like about PC Secret Formula? After going through the system I'd say there are one thing that I don't like about it. Firstly, being a hardcore computer user I know enough about computers as well as different tasks. What I don't know much about is how to speed up my computer.


I know a few things but I haven't really had any time to work on obtaining knowledge in that area. And here I'd like to see special chapters that would be combined of the section of the book. There could be like 3 different combinations, one for hardcore users like me, another for intermediate PC user and finally one for hardcore amateur. Right now the sections of PC Secret Formula all together last just a bit less than an hour's read, but for me it would be enough to have a 10-15 to get straight to the point.


Overall impression

PC Secret Formula has easy-to-follow, professionally produced and well put together ebook, but in addition to that, every single chapter also has notes attached which provide additional notes that will further enhance your PC's performance. So if your computer is running slow and you want to speed it up today, PC Secret Formula is the system you should use.

Start a savings plan.

Start saving today. Many people will say "my income is not enough for my family, its not even enough for myself". These are the usual outcries, and yes it's true, with the current financial crisis and the high cost of fuel and food items, we can say that we can't save.

But as the saying goes, "If there's a will, there's a way". And there is a way, if we put our mind into it.

Here are some steps:

• Set a goal for yourself. This will motivate you to save. For example: A long needed vacation in five years or a new car, or a down payment for a new home. Whatever will motivate you to save. If you are not motivated, your goal is just wishful thinking and your life will just drift or coast along into nothingness.

• Create a budget. I know this is mentioned in every article you read about money but believe me without a budget, it will be very hard to save. The nitty gritty of budgeting can be discussed in another article. Below are simple ways of creating a budget plan. Keep in mind though that your budget should be in line with the times, as you know the prices of goods and services have gone up. So make a budget that's not too stringent and must be realistic.

• Plan how much money you expect to come in this month. This will be your Income column.
  
• Pay yourself first, allot ten (10) percent for your savings. You can increase this as your income increases. I know you can do it.
• Write down the expenses you anticipate every month. Put the necessary things first like recurring bills (e.g. rent, electricity, water, phone, transportation or fuel, etc.). For annual expenses like insurances, get the monthly expense by dividing it by 12 and put it in your monthly expense column.
• Put an amount beside each expense item.
• If money still is not enough, adjust the amount of items that are variable like food. Minimized eating out, choose less costly dishes and eat more home cooked meals. If you have your own vehicle, read on how to save on fuel and apply it, and if you are commuting, ride more on buses, and less on taxis. I know you can do it.
• If there is still money left, congratulate and reward yourself by spending it anyway you want, but if you want to go to the extreme add it onto your savings
  

• With this plan you assure yourself of a savings and still meet necessary expenses.

• What if you found out that your income is not enough to meet your needs. Then, find ways to increase your income (More of this in future articles). You can start by selling assets you don't use by having a garage sale in your own or another's yard, posting it on e-bay or approaching friends and forcing them to buy it from you. You can also have a part-time job or start a sideline business you can do after office, on weekends or online (just beware of scams). The extra income will greatly help you.

• If your budget still is too much, examine each expense item closely to find out where you can save. Check on suspicious little expenses that you spend on every day or week.

The bottom line is not to bring misery to our lives by being frugal, spendthrift or miser but in taking charge of your own money. By doing this, you'll make money your slave and not the other way around.

Have fun!
