Celebrated and Not Just Tolerated!

Yes, Yes, Yes:

Just think about how you feel when you walk into a place you do business that celebrates you, rather than tolerating you. We tend to remain where we are celebrated.

No matter what business your in remember to celebrate those who do business with you.

In network marketing I found over the years that there are business builders and mentors who are your support team (upline) and then there are some parasites who like to earn off the effort of others without doing anything to empower that person. They forget that their downline is actually their success line.

We have all experienced this and many of us may have been guilty at one time for not acknowledging others for their efforts at times, or offering a helping hand.

It is now much easier to be on top of this because of the internet or companies like "Send Out Cards", which I am not involved in but see the value of.

The bottom line is be consistent, follow up, and celebrate those who add value to your life, business, family. Celebrate them. Make them feel good about the relationship you have.

A great example is a place I used to frequent. A cigar shop. The friendships that developed from that one place where heart warming. You came in and you felt like a million dollars, you were greeted with a warm hello from everyone.

Over a period of 4 years that changed. The owners kids now had all sorts of nice cell phones and gadgets, however the store needed a new air conditioner for the one that was in there did not function well enough. They needed something to remove the smoke from the air, the bathroom was so dirty you would not want to go there. Money earned was not going back to make the place presentable and comfortable.

The vibe now is I am here to take your money, but I am doing nothing to make you comfortable in my shop. To top it off we would celebrate each others birthdays and bring food and drink. Give the left overs to the owner for his family. Clean up before leaving. Recently he called someone aside and told him that this persons wife dropped ashes on the floor.

Now if you ever saw the store you would say who cares it is a mess. If you knew this person's wife you know if she did drop ashes on the floor, it was an accident and most of the time one of us would get a broom and clean it up.

If I owned the store I would sweep up at the end of the evening. Look at my cash register and thank God for all the people I was able to serve and be grateful for what was in my register.

Understand what I mean about being celebrated instead of tolerated. So many of us go there less. Do not hang out if we do go, and frequent other places whose prices may be higher, but the atmosphere is one of respect, celebration, service and friendship.

Think about how you treat others. Think about how you feel when others celebrate you.

Time will tell. I met many who talk the talk, but few who walk the walk.

Have a sensational day.

Thanks for being here.

Permission Marketing

"Permission Marketing:

The Hidden Intangible

of HBO & Time Warner."



My name is DR. MIKE SHAPIRO -917-297-1361

http://www.mywavepage.com/ds2349.

PERMISSION MARKETING The unsung song of the

greats on-line who TWIST their lists into bank and

who RULE the engine roads into roaring slam

dunks and pay days larger in a MONTH than the

common club earns all blessed year long.

Now then. Let us recognize our own individual

greatness and proceed. Amen.

=================================

If you didn't get the permission yesterday of at

least 25 new prospects who voluntarily are

consuming what you sell for free, the question

persists, do you really have a business?

=================================

Permission marketing is where you draw a crowd

and vast amounts of strangers, who are in fact

future buyers, give you permission to speak to them.



Think of it like a huge volunteer army. Each one of

those Soldiers with cash in their hands Each one

asking, "why should I care and if you make me care

I will see the value and sell and close myself.



But alas, you have ZERO without a means to draw a crowd

and to get scores of strangers willing and able to give you

their attention. As in it was there idea, not yours.

Just as in, you are here reading this as a volunteer

Soldier.Just as in, you are in my funnel.


Now it is my turn up at bat and my burden to keep

you armed and informed.



Lets begin. First though, and forgive

my latent manners; thank you.


THANK you for being here.


THANK you for your time.


And yes, thank you for your order.

Now or later, over 47% do order.


So, with all fanfare aside, thanks in advance.

Now for today's mind-set.



Permission marketing is built around the rational

calculation that both parties are safe.



Look at it through the customers perspective.

They have money to spend darn it. They do.

They simply don't have THE TIME to dicker

with fast talking hurry and buy me salesmen.



Why? Because they aren't sure if you are legit,

nor do they even feel safe enough--yet--with

your company.



In this model, to go FAST is to go slow and to go

slow is to actually go fast.



The new model is simple.



All you do is persuade future buyers to volunteer



their attention.Not to buy anything.


Just to watch you and to sample whatever

it is you are offering. Hey?


Didn't you listen to the hot music CD you last bought

3-4-5 times BEFORE you sold yourself?



THAT is what permission marketing is which is why

"he who controls the content also controls the central

nervous system of a niche market."



Which is also why those Net-Giants who have

the means and content to nest, cajole and entertain

a list of not-ready-to buy-yet-but-maybe-soon

people make all the ATM and PAY-PAL cash like Kings.


It's predictable, mathematical and quantifiable marketing.

But it begins with trust. On both sides.

One where time becomes your buddy and

patience becomes your most loyal new best friend.

Imagine if you had this ARTICLE with your name on it.

Do you E-V-E-N have a clue as to the bounty that such

an article like this can harvest you?


Without content provided to HBO

they wouldn't have a cable to stand on.

No content = no biz.


What is Google? One big fat filing cabinet.

What would newspapers do or how would CBS

survive without new and relevant content?

What would Paramount Pictures do without

their pals over at DREAMWORKS (see S. Speilberg)

who supply them with a feed of new content? Radio?

A bridge for new content.


Ipod and iPhones are content driven.

Content makes the world hum.

Now you know what all Big Fish knew ages ago.

Quick, grab a highlighter and high light this.

Here is the concept:

Here is what divides the rich amongst

the struggling on-line. Read slowly.

The ones who make all the Pay-Pal cash and

who Hercules themselves via e-Marketing are

the same old crowd. These are the Digital Royalty

who have the means to cajole, muse, entertain,

educate and twists their fans into more bank.

The keyword is content.

If you are late to lunch or just behind the curve,

chances are you are now paying to watch someone

who knew this "secret" of the Web 2.0 user

interface 20 Moons ago. Okay. Lets review.

Content is King. My name is DR. MIKE SHAPIRO

The Skinning of The America Dream

The Skinning of The American Dream

Where Slavery Became Common Amongst The Common


Within America, in the land of the brave and the veritable nation of freedom, there resides the biggest industrial slave-labor camps ever to populate a country. The regional county is called work-force within a village called, The Prison of Hope.

Where dreams have been erased and men’s will power has been stripped.

401K Slave Trade

When stuck on a highway once, stitched with over 17,000 slaves lined up in a row, stuck in their cars and waiting to begin their nightmare, I unrolled my window once and asked the slave next to me, what is work to you?

His answer made me pull my chin. He answered with, “Work is only work when you wished you were somewhere else.” And so it goes.

Each morning these dead-heads with lost dreams inch ahead, slave style, tied by their golden 401K shackles, sipping their lattes, like a herd of cattle (add the ring in their noses), looking numb, as they solemnly point their $3 per gallon horses in the direction of their self imposed prison camps. Their dreams are held hostage, their hope has been arrested and each one is expected to mast their quarters by 0900 and that’s just the Sheep.

Highway To Hell

And their Jailers get to their Prisons even earlier. Because the Sheppard’s who HERD the sheep are expected to meet their posts to the ringing of the eighth bell past midnight. Which means the bosses have to leave their slave quarters and begin their highway into hell by five thirty a.m. That’s early. Very early.

5:30 a.m.

Legalized Government Pyramid Scheme / Lottery

I again, eager as I was to understand these industrial cogs even further, while watching them line up once, in a newspaper store, where the slaves each buy a “freedom ticket,” and a dream, for a buck (think lotto or government pyramid scheme) and I asked one of them, “Hey Fella, what is hell?”

I used the word “hell” only because if asked, that is what each one will always tell you that their work days are like; hell.

So there I was.

Amongst the mental weaklings who sold their dreams to another man and I asked, to one of them in their costumes complete with the red noose lynched around his neck (ID badge included), “Hey Fella, what is hell?”

http://www.drmike.mjsdc.com/
And he whined back at me (these types are compulsive complainers) almost as if someone was about to push him off a “gang plank” of a Pirates ship, he summoned back to me, “Kind Sir, let me tell you what Hell is.”

He then pulled his scattered mind together and forewarned, “Hell is like, that is when the you in the mirror looking back at you is the person you COULD have been versus the you that you settled for.”

It must be hard to live within a world of small when in your head you are ten feet tall.

How Utterly Sad

Those educated beyond their means or even “the working poor” have NO CHOICE as to how many hours they must render to “the man.” Often they are required to labor into the darkness of debt and into Visa, who then they pay a “dummy tax” to each month.

Debt by the way is when you barrow from Paul to Pay Harry for items you buy from Mary that you actually can’t afford. That is how debt perpetuates and how the baking system earns Billions of dollars monthly from the working poor.

www.drmike.mjsdc.com

These slaves are never paid for WHO they are or for work they love.

Fifty one weeks on. One week off. “I owe, I owe so off to the prison camp I go.”

Card Carrying Slaves Work For Their Master

They are simply and ONLY paid for what their job title pays. Not a penny more. And even that is just enough to survive on—basically---so in order for VISA and MASTER-CARD to further earn off of them, the cogs must pay a monthly “royalty” or fee to them for everything that their families want, but these self-image victims can’t afford.

Well Boo-hoo. Did any of them have a GUN pointed to their heads? No.

No more than a three-ton Elephant seeks resistance or escape from the thin rope that his ankle is tied up with. It’s voluntary corporate slavery. That’s the sick part of their self imposed drama.

It’s voluntary for Pete's sake!

They remain in their 8 X 8 corporate cells with fear written all over their faces because at anytime, without notice, their jailer can exercise more of his dominion and expire them at will.

That way, they can become jobless and spend the following next four months running through their cookie jar dough so they can again be confined by bankruptcy, but without first being victims of mortgage disaster and foreclosure.

www.drmike.mjsdc.com

All because the pink slip bit them where the sun never shines. And it continues. Non-stop and until chicken soup for the soul becomes one big bad joke.

The Skinning of The American Dream

Where Slavery Become Common Amongst The Common



So the pencil jockeys continue. Lock step. Often resting together at the water station, coiled up like caged rats, verbally biting each other and sinking each others hopes by trading disdain for each others life trials and exposing each other to each of their own individual fears. Can you say, “cage monkeys!” But it gets worse.

It’s cooler dribble for the confined. Pass the gun.

All they ever speak about is how HARD they work, how TIRED they are and how they are only tolerated behind the bars of lost hope, versus celebrated. It’s pathetic at best to witness this each day. But it never stops.

Patience Often Steals Their Treasure

Don’t these slaves know that what you can endure persists? Or possibly even more sickening is how many of them have let patience steal their treasure. Oh well.

Then one day, many moons and years into time, they will be released out to pasture when at the age sixty five the slave master decides employee # 301 is no longer worthy to pull their weight of another man’s dream.

www.drmike.mjsdc.com

And they are released into yet another slave camp. The retirement camp where they are required yet again, to sit and stair out the window until death do they part. Cheery stuff.

But pain continues because even the few who decide to try to work AFTER and into retirement are whipped yet again by the pension people who yell, “You can’t work another day and stop trying to make ends meet, just rely on your pension you old goat!”

Special Slavery Note: The Federal Government doesn’t allow the old to out earn their pensions without yet another Dummy Tax being their just desserts

I Am The Son of a Capitalist and a Good News Merchant. I Am Free!

I know these prisoners of hope exist because I live free amongst them. I am free. I decide how much money I will earn because I actually believed in American capitalism. I decide my own hours, decide my own destiny and I denied ANY man to define my worth outside of my own ambition and outside of my own imagination.

I Have Earned in a Month What a Slave Earns All Doggone Year!

I can vacation when and where I want and as often as I want. I only do work that I love and as such I work for a loving and NOT for a living. I am a F/T dad and a part-time Millionaire. I pick my kids up from school and earn income world wide. Because I exercise the inspiration and have 6 Billion people world wide on the Internet who help me earn more money than I need as a Good News Merchant.

www.drmike.mjsdc.com

The Skinning of The American Dream

Where The Common Become The Meal of The Those in The Culture of Smart

I work seven days because I love what I do, loaf when I want and because I love to make money and to help people I see to lines between work and play. I call my home America. That’s right. I actually took advantage of the Constitution of the United States.

My Commute is Across The Hall To Our Home Office

I don’t work to survive. I am like Oprah, Arnold and Johnny who worked to express more of who THEY were instead of working to express someone (a boss) else.

I have seen slaves who have had to uproot their families and head north just to remain employed. I have seen fathers snatch their children and run for the hills because Daddy was relocated to a work camp all the way across the country.

New school. New friends. New boss. Sad children. What a horrible way to live.

Wives cry. Wives also lose their friends and the slave trade persists.

The 97% Who Failed To Pay The Price of Freedom Are Employed By The 3% Who Decided To Pay It


But alas, there is a way out. How? Because each slave is allowed to BUY their way out and EACH slave is allowed to BUY his or her freedom. The price is TIME and energy and an investment into SELF versus a life exchanged for another man’s dream.

The Weak Man Refuses To Discipline Himself

The cost is NOT too high, yet it does seem like TOO MUCH money for those without the courage to pay the price.

The Price of Personal Discipline is Too High For Many People

The PRICE is this. You must be able to become your own master. Most shudder the thought. Most slaves decide that’s TOO BIG of a price. But that’s the price. You MUST willfully decide to MASTER SELF. You must decide to discipline yourself and to teach yourself the TRADE of inspiration, ambition and increase.

It takes guts, spine, time and ambition. But it is all for not and won’t work unless the slave is willing to pay THE PRICE of being able to MASTER over self. Not someone else.

What the slave resists is the fact that what he desires is OUTSIDE of his comfort zone and the cogs remain employed because going out of their comfort zone is too big of an idea for the little sullen Sheep who work for us.

www.drmike.mjsdc.com

How utterly painful it must be to live a life that is in torment compared to what lies within a mans head. It must be a living hell to be free in your MIND but shackled to a desk of hate that only reminds you of your own lack of ability to MASTER ones self. Oh well.

Amen. The Skinning of The American Dream

Where Slavery is Common Amongst Those To Weak To Stand Up



PS: If you love what you do and spend your days exercising SELF and being who you were born to be, consider yourself a King. Because no greater gift can one give to himself that is he who decides to be SELF rather than being a reflection of someone who pays them. Prostitutes do that and so do many slaves. They “sell out” and decide to be a reflection of somebody else instead of living a life that celebrates them.

Do you.

Stand.

RISE I say!!!

Money can’t buy happiness. You know that. But being yourself can; often even in spite of money. It’s not about money. But it is about being able to afford the freedom to be your ENTIRE self versus the one you maybe settled for.

Share this please with 10,000 friends.

Your better is located in your BEST so be and do ALL that you can and your plenty will follow. When all you can do is all you can do then all you can do is enough.

Doing all you can do isn’t stopping at five o’clock or fetching another man’s Star-Bucks.

Be your own best friend. Who cares if it takes 16 hour days to locate the person YOU were born to be. It worked for Edison and Hanks and it’s worked for me and Millions of OTHER slaves who decided to PAY the price.

www.drmike.mjsdc.com

You must decide simply to MASTER your SELF.

Teach people that those that fail to MASTER themselves end up being a slave to someone else.

What You Can Endure Persists

To Re-Program Yourself Read, “The Doers Creed.” (See the person who sent you this and ask them for a handful of iPod ready MP-3 files. USE those audio to decompress the OTHER self and to reprogram your self)

Often the false conditioning of 20 years of slave labor can’t be undone in an hour or even a month. It’s best to use mind conditioning tools to reprogram your SELF.

The Doers Creed Unto Self

Locate your local WARRIORS NEST chapter and ask the Benefactor their for the bevy of free audio files to load into your iPod. Ask for the Doers Creed of influence.

Like Attracts Like

I was like a fallen leaf blowing in the wind. However I was fortunate enough to visualize what I wanted in my life. The words I CAN'T have been removed from my vocabulary. I now have passion, I take action and I have mentors who walk their talk. One of them my friend M3 said "Stop jumping over dollars to save pennies." What a shift in my consciousness those words created. Today 10/4/2007 is noted as a major day of change in my life.
