THIS ISSUE: 2006 Is Half Over--Do You Have A Get Out Of Debt Plan?

Hi !
Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoyed your July 4th.
I was reminded last Friday that one half of 2006 has already
slipped by. WOW. That was fast. I hope it's been a
great year
for you so far.
I
have a bunch of good quotes scribbled on a big piece of paper
hanging on the wall of my office. When I hear a good one I add it
to the wall. One jumped out at me the other day...
"If you knew that there was something you could do today to make
your life remarkably better at this time next year, would you do it?"
I assume your answer would be "yes".
So half the year is over. How did those New Year's resolutions go?
Why not use this part of the year to give it another try?...a VERY
SMALL TRY?
In Baltimore I picked up a copy of "One Small Step Can Change Your
Life - The Kaizen Way" by Robert Maurer, Ph.D.
He states that the part of our brain called the "amygdala"... "sets
off alarm bells whenever we want to make a departure from our
usual, safe routines. The brain is designed that way so that any
new challenge or opportunity or desire triggers some degree of fear"
He suggests we take VERY small steps so as not to "wake up" our
amygdala.
My favorite example in the book was a client he wanted
to march in place, in front of the TV for one minute a day. That
would be her exercise routine. Just one minute. Eventually
she
marched for 3 minute commercial breaks and then for whole shows.
For whatever it is you want to do ask the question...
"What is the smallest step I can take to:__________________"
And then do it! Slowing increasing what you are doing.
He had one client stand on a treadmill while reading her morning
paper and sipping her coffee. Just STAND!! Then after a
month he
had her walk for one minute...adding a minute each week.
"Soon her ridiculous small actions had grown into the firm habit of
running one mile each day! Note that this gradual buildup to a
steady program is the exact opposite of the usual pattern, in which
a person starts off with a burst of activity for a few weeks, but
then returns to a comfortable spot on the couch"
I love the suggestions of throwing out the first bite of a
fattening snack and saving just one dollar a day.
If YOU think ideas like this sound ridiculous, I'll ask again, how
did those New Year's resolutions go?
I HIGHLY recommend this book for anything you want to accomplish.
Thanks to subscriber Margaret for pointing out that many of the
books I recommend may be available at your local library or they
can get them.
The book again is called: "One Small Step Can Change Your Life -
The Kaizen Way" by Robert Maurer, Ph.D.

P.S. The first thing I ever bought online was a book by Jim
Daniels on
the topic of email. I think that was way back in 1998. Jim
is
still putting out great stuff and you can learn a lot just by
watching him. He has a new report called "The New Age Wo*rk at
Home Plan: Internet-Based Financial Independence in 10 Simple
Steps" You can read about it at

I frequently get letters from new website owners who don't have
much money but want to start attracting visitors. When I was
just starting out, I found writing articles a great way to do it.
My friend Angela Smith helped create WRITE AN ARTICLE-A-DAY,
THE EASY WAY which features a step-by-step and easy
system that makes writing fun and easy. After you read it, you will
be able to write a professional quality article in just one day or
an e-book in 7 days. Bonus: The first article you submit is
guaranteed publication in a top article directory. I track all my
sales so I know that every week I make several sales from the
articles I've written and posted using this terrific info. Get

Leo- Thanks for the link to Emergency Cas*h Generators! I
don't usually
fall for such things, since most of them are rip-offs, but I
took a chance on this one because the link came from you. And I
love it!
The ideas are original and clever. There's an idea there for just
about anyone --
extravert or introvert -- and it's triggered so many additional ideas
of my own!

Check out an amazing interview James did with a very happy and
excited new student...
