How to get up in the morning!

I just read this....Since I am an early riser also, I knew some of you would like to know how we do it. This is from Anna Johnson.

"How To Get Up In the Morning... When You'd Really RatherSleep In"---------------------------------------------------------I've been getting up early for years. I currently get up ataround 5.30 am in the morning most days. But if you think I'm a"morning person" - think again!I'd love to sleep in! But with a busy schedule and familyresponsibilities, the early morning is the only time I can get myexercise routine in without any chance of interruption. Staying fit is important to me, so I'm prepared to get up earlyto ensure I get my exercise in.So how do I get up so early... and how can YOU get up early ifyou need to?Here's my no.1 tip: set your alarm at the required time... andwhen that alarm rings... get up straight away! Don't give yourself the chance to debate over whether or not toget up... don't press that "snooze" button... and certainlydon't tell yourself that you'll get up "in a minute". Get upimmediately. Otherwise, you'll probably end up staying in bed!

Inspirational Father's Day Story

Since it is Father's Day, I thought I would share a truly inspirationa story that I just read about a special relationship betweeen this father and his son.

What My Father Means To Me
An emotional tribute to an incredible and inspirational Dad, from his equally incredible and inspirational son.By Richard Hoyt Jr., Men's Health

My name is Richard E. Hoyt Jr., and I have cerebral palsy. I cannot speak or walk. To write this story, I'm using a computer with special software. When I move my head slightly, the cursor moves across an alphabet. When it gets to the letter I want, I press a switch at the side of my head.
I am half of Team Hoyt. We are a father-and-son team, and we compete in marathons and triathlons around the world. Our goal is to educate people about how the disabled can lead normal lives. We started racing in 1979. My high school was having a road race to raise money for a lacrosse player who was paralyzed in an accident. I wanted to show this athlete that life can go on, so I asked my dad if he would push me. My wheelchair was not built for racing, but Dad managed to push me the entire 5 miles. We came in next to last, but in the photos of us crossing the finish line, I was smiling from ear to ear!
When we got home, I used my computer to tell Dad, "When I'm running, I feel like my disability disappears!" So we joined a running club, had a special running chair built, and entered our first official race. Many of the athletes didn't want us to participate, but the executive director of the event gave us permission. Soon we were running three races a weekend, and we even did our first double event a 3-mile run and a half-mile swim.
Dad held me by the back of the neck and did the sidestroke for the entire swim. We wanted to run in the Boston Marathon, but we were not allowed to enter because we had not done a qualifying run. So in late 1980, we competed in the Marine Corps Marathon, in Washington, D.C., finishing in 2 hours, 45 minutes. That qualified us for Boston!
A few years later, after a road race in Falmouth, Massachusetts, a man came up to my dad and said, "You are quite an athlete. You should consider a triathlon." Dad said, "Sure, as long as I can do it with Rick." The man just walked away. The next year, the same man said the same thing. Again, Dad said he'd do it, but only with me. This time the man said, "Okay, let's figure out what special equipment you'll need."
So on Father's Day in 1985, we competed in our first triathlon. It included a 10-mile run, during which Dad pushed me; a 1-mile swim, during which Dad pulled me in a life raft with a rope tied around his chest; and a 50-mile bike ride, during which he towed me in a cart behind him. We finished next to last, but we both loved it. Soon after, we did our first Ironman Triathlon. We've now competed in more than 950 races, including 25 Boston Marathons and six Ironmans. During every event, I feel like my disability has disappeared.
People often ask me, "What would you do if you were not disabled?" When I was first asked, I said I'd probably play baseball or hockey. But when I thought about it some more, I realized that I'd tell my father to sit down in my wheelchair so I could push him. If it weren't for him, I'd probably be living in a home for people with disabilities. He is not just my arms and legs. He's my inspiration, the person who allows me to live my life to the fullest and inspire others to do the same.


Happy Father's Day

The Invisible Cost of Website Sales Being Lost

The invisible cost of website sales being lost
"The single biggest cost website owners incur is the invisible cost of sales being lost." Since it is invisible, you have to look HARD and DEEP to see it. Are you willing to do that? Do you have a website? Would making 10x-100x more than you are now be important to you? The next few paragraphs can help you accomplish that and it is free for the reading. You are even entitled to disagree with me but you would be 100% wrong. Don't get those feathers ruffled yet. I am gonna make anyone who reads the following and has the NERVE to understand it, a LOT of money.
This is the 3rd time I have pointed this out during this short blog. But I have never devoted the time to dissect this ONE piece of the puzzle. This KEY piece.
Let's start like this. The last thing I will tell you why this is so important to me. But I WILL tell you. But before I do this let's look at this the right way. If you have a store on Main Street or in the mall and 1000 people walked in and NOBODY bought anything, would you continue to do business as usual or would you make some adjustments? Well if you do nothing, you will soon be out of business. On the net, MANY think there is a different equation. Are they kidding? If you make no sales, you will soon be out of business.
So let's say you sell widgets. 1000 customers come to your website and nobody buys your widgets. You think that is OK??? You close 1 in 1000 and you think THAT is OK??? You accept that? Are you nuts? You would not accept this in the REAL world and you should not accept that in the VIRTUAL world.
Assuming you have good widgets and there is a market for your widgets then there are techniques to close more sales by improving your website and your customer service. Why do so few even talk about this? Well how many people in the universe even know about this subject? Then from there you have to separate the ones that actually know what the hell they are talking about from the ones that are full of crap.
All I can tell you for a FACT (assuming you have a good product or service) it does not take a lot of effort to take 0 in 1000 or 1 in 1000 to 10 in 1000 and maybe 100 in 1000.
And NOW the REASON why I am so hung up on this single BOTTLENECK. When I send traffic to folks that are only closing 1 in 1000 I am making a fraction of what I could be making if they closed more sales. So for every million I make TODAY, that same traffic could easily earn 10x that. 100x that. THAT is the reason. Selfish as it is from where I sit, it's not selfish to tell merchants that they are aiming LOW when they should be aiming HIGH. Merchandising a website is no different than your physical store. Your traffic flow is no different than your physical store. But to be blunt, it takes a different set of talents to close a sale on your website than it does in your store on Main Street or in the mall. Wine is wine until you find a connoisseur to explain the difference between a $5 bottle of wine and a $500 bottle. Art is art until you find an expert to show you the difference between a $10 print and a $10 million original. So if you want to see what is not visible to YOUR EYE you need to find folks that have the talent so you can use THEIR EYE!
The problem is probably only a few hundred people on the planet have such a talent, maybe less. So you either have to find them (And they are likely not available) or learn to see this for yourselves. The best I can do is introduce you to this line of thinking. How did I learn? Lots of experimenting over many years with hundreds of millions of unique visitors to my domain names. I had to learn to make lemonade from lemons from the ground up and using virtual lemons.
"The single biggest cost website owners incur is the invisible cost of sales being lost." I cannot repeat this enough. Not visible to the naked eye. At least an UNTRAINED naked eye. I see it like I see the screen in front of me. It is THAT clear. I hope you can see what I see. If you don't see it....it's not because it is not there.
