New Blogging Course - free for now…

I’m evaluating a multi-media course on blogging from the folks at Simpleology.  For a while, they’re letting you snag it for free if you post about it on your blog.

It covers:

  • The best blogging techniques.
  • How to get traffic to your blog.
  • How to turn your blog into money.

I’ll let you know what I think once I’ve had a chance to check it out. Meanwhile, go grab yours while it’s still free.

Coach Cutter’s Playbook Series…

Ok - i’ve been putting this off for a long time, but I will soon be releasing a series of short reports (”Playbooks”) on a variety of marketing and business strategy topics.

NOT hypey fad fly-by-night info products that lack substance, over promise, under deliver, and feed the cycle of “insiders” working together to drain your budget through a series of timed release product launches that all promise to solve your last problems…..that is already being done by most internet marketers :)

There is one thing that CAN be said for a great deal of ”internet marketers” - they LOVE to recycle :)  And I ain’t talking about the environment!

I don’t think you need more of the same, do ya?

You see, I’ve come to realize that most aspiring internet entrepreneurs just don’t have the fundamental marketing background and strategic frameworks that the gurus have access to (through high-ticket coaching programs), and instead spend too much time chasing their tails looking for THE magic trick…whether that be black-hat SEO, list building gimmicks, “web 2.0″ traffic generation, beating the spam filters, producing Camtasia videos, installing a “secret” script, article spinning, eBay tricks, magic squeeze page templates, etc.

Most people seem to lack high level understanding of business strategy and marketing.

So, I’m going to dust off my old MBA books on marketing and strategy and transfer REAL knowledge to you in an internet-entrepreneur-friendly format, relating the material to the landscape of internet marketing and lifestyle entrepreneurship.

After all, you’re not going to take your side eBay business, or your ebook/infoproduct business public :)

Let me know if you have any specific topics you’d like covered….otherwise, keep an eye out for them starting this summer!

Tons of Open Source Software options

I recently came across a great list of open source software alternatives,
relative to their paid counterparts.  It’s a great link to bookmark and check
whenever you are on the verge of buying or looking for software ….
especially all of you homebased business entrepreneurs looking to save a
little $$ in your journey.

Enjoy the Process

“We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon - instead of enjoying the roses blooming outside our windows today.”
— Dale Carnegie

I think it is so important to learn to enjoy & appreciate the PROCESS of life, while always striving to reach higher ground. We’ve all heard “success is a journey”….same thing.

Our lives take place “in the process” or “on the journey” - which is always a state of fluctuation, change, and (hopefully) progressive realization of your goals.

Always try to enjoy the journey — that is your life.

The more you can become, the more you can yet be

“There is only one purpose for all of life, and that is for you and all that lives to experience fullest glory; your highest potential. Everything else you say, think, or do is attendant to that function. There is nothing else for your soul to do, and nothing else your soul wants to do. The wonder of this purpose is never ending.

Should there come a moment in which you experience yourself in your fullest glory, you will in that instant, imagine an ever greater glory to fulfill. The more you are, the more you can become, and the more you can become, the more you can yet be.

The deepest secret is that life is not a process of discovery, but a process of creation. You are not discovering yourself, but creating yourself anew. Seek, therefore, not to find out Who You Are, seek to determine Who You Want to Become.”
– Ancient Script
