An Eagle in Our Neighbourhood

2009-10-04T15:01:00.000-04:00

As we were driving home from work the other evening, my husband and I saw a Bald Eagle take to the skies not far from our house. It was a beautiful sight to see and amazing as we aren't even sure that we had any eagles in our area.

Maybe it was passing through or maybe it is here to stay. I know we will be watching our skies to see if we get another sneek peak at this beautiful bird. We have seen plenty of hawks around which can be large but nothing the size that this bird was and with its white head was unmistakable. Hopefully it will be seen again soon.

Time just flies

2009-09-27T20:07:00.000-04:00

Well it is amazing how time flies and life changes in so many ways. This year has been one of a kind for us, with so many ups and downs. Finally life has settled down and I am ready for new changes in my life.

I am almost finished a Business course and am looking to start my own Virtual Assistant Business. I have currently done a number of small projects and am looking to take on regular clients. Whether for updating reports, powerpoint presentations, mailing lists, internet research and article placement. Please contact me for a free consultation.

My other change has come in the form of lifestyle. After being shown that life is short and can end at any time, I decided it was time to take charge and become seriously healthy finally. I stared walking and cycling and have now dropped almost 30 lbs and 6 inches in the last two months. I feel totally great and that is my motivation to keep on going. I still have a long way to go but can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

It is time to get back into action and make positive changes, I am looking forward to what life may bring.

Ecoquest Changes Hands

2009-04-13T20:47:00.004-04:00

Well it was quite a surprise to find out that Ecoquest International was not able to weather the recession and have decided to sell to Electrolux. At first I was disappointed with the company, with all the lectures on keeping things together during a recession, not giving up etc. Mike Jackson sold the company within a year of things starting to go downhill.

Having done some research on Electrolux and actually knowing the name quite well from growing up in England. This sale could actually be a good thing for Ecoquest. Potentially in giving air, water and laundry purification more of a home association, of products that are necessary for a healthy home, rather as the exception for someone who suffers from allergies etc. Also for just getting the name out into the European market would be very benefical for Ecoquest too!

So I have to look forward with some anticipation to see what the future will bring.
In the meantime we have the Solution For Your Pollution!

Recession Proof, Rejection Free

2009-03-05T16:07:00.001-05:00

Its “2×2 Prosperity Formula”, and you’ve probably already heard the buzz
so to you I may just be an echo.. but just in case you haven’t joined yet
or you haven’t heard of it yet.. I’ll share my thoughts with you.

http://www.myprebuilder.com/?sponsor=8134

At first I thought.. another cycler. Now I think, this is the best cycling 2×2
I’ve ever seen. It’s very lucrative and you can join at many different levels.

It’s only a ONE TIME cost to join.. check out the memberships:

- Bronze Level is $75 and it comes with 500 leads, payout is $125 for a full
matrix (6 people)

- Silver level is $225 ($150+$75) and it comes with 1500 leads, payout is $125
and $250 for a full matrix in each level (6 people)

- Gold level is $525 ($75+$150+$300) and it comes with 3500 leads, payout is
$125 and $250 and $500 for a full matrix in each level (6 people)

- Platinum level is $1125(($75+$150+$300+$600) and it comes with 7500 leads,
payout is $125 and $250 and $500 and $1000 for a full matrix in each level (6 people)

It’s a 2×2 and basically what this means it is VERY easy to cycle. It only takes 6
people in your downline to cycle and earn. I don’t like to mention spillover but
I’m on a very powerful team and I also expect a great result.

Another really cool part of this program is it truly is a complete turn-key automated
system.. it doesn’t even require set-up.. they give you leads and it markets for you.
The leads are NOT shared leads.. they are exclusive to you! This means they should be
much better quality.

Get in before the 1st compression.. It’s this Friday.

Go here and secure your spot:
http://www.myprebuilder.com/?sponsor=8134

I know you may have questions.. we have set up a Skype chat
that you can join to ask any questions:

After you join for free at the link here…

How I got 10,000 traffic credits online in one week

2009-02-26T15:02:00.002-05:00

After surfing traffic exchanges I was finding it difficult to accumulate credits, I was actually making money from referrrals more than I was getting credits. So I started looking a bit more closely at the exchanges.

I joined a new exhange Hits Pro Booster when it appeared on T raffic Hoopla.
Right away I was given 1,000 credits but also I was upgraded for the first 7 days of my new account for free. Just create your account log in and surf 25 sites and you will be upgraded.

This way you are surfing 1 for 1 credit, so my credit total was actually mounting up to something. So I figured I would surf that exchange as much as I could for those 7 days.

Another thing I started doing was actually reading the emails I was getting from the various exchanges, especially the top surfed ones. Traffic Splash offers specials and any day if you surf 100 sites email the support staff and you will receive banner impressions or text link ads for free. This mounts up to more exposure for our sites.

Today I received an email from both Hits Pro and Traffic Witch with surf specials. Hits Pro Booster was a 100% surf boost ratio, which meant that instead of 1 for 1, I was getting 2 for 1. I started surfing and saw how easy the credits were mounting up. Very quickly and easily I topped 10,000 credits into my account. Traffic Witch was offering the same as they had moved servers and had experienced some down time, so I took advantage of that and accumulated more credits there too.

I have received free credits and won some credits for finding the word of the day, and I don't particularly surf that much..I had found it very overwhelming to try and surf all the exchanges every week.

My advice: Take advantage of the specials, free upgrades and bonuses.

Read the emails from the top sites.

Take advantage of any daily surf specials.

I have also found a tracking service where you can track 10 sites and 10 banners without upgrading.

Traffic Exchanges

2009-02-20T14:10:00.000-05:00

I have been studying how to get the most out of surfing the traffic exchanges.

It is very worthwhile to look into their referral programs and see what they pay out. I found this out quite by accident having referred a couple of people to Traffic Splash and then being notified that I had some money in my Alert Pay account.

Traffic Splash pays up to 50% commissions on upgrades, upto 10% on credit purchases and 5% on pages surfed.

To refer people all I do is add some banners to my sites or send out notices to the safelists. An easy way to make some money and build yourself a list at the same time of people that down the road might be interested in looking at one of your other opportunities.

Another great traffic exchange is fairly new is Traffic Witch, this one pays a whopping 75% commission on referrals.

As you get more referrals and start receiving credits you will find that you spend less time surfing yourself. Again you can take your commission earnings and either upgrade your account or purchase credits.

I have come across a great free report that explains how to utilize your time and money in surfing the traffic exchanges.

Insist on Excellence

2009-02-03T14:50:00.001-05:00

I came across this wonderful quote this morning and wanted to share it with you.
THE DAILY MOTIVATOR
Tuesday, February 3, 2009

Insist on excellence
+++++++++++++++++++

Refuse to accept anything less than excellence from yourself.
You know that you're capable of the very best, so make sure
you fulfill your greatest possibilities.

Hold yourself accountable to your highest vision. Support
and encourage your own unique greatness.

There is so very much value that you have to contribute to
life. The sweet taste of true fulfillment comes from giving
the best that you have.

There will be countless temptations to take shortcuts and to
compromise your most treasured principles. But keep in mind
that you will gain nothing of real value by doing so.

Instead, insist on excellence from yourself in every
endeavor. Do what you know is best, and you'll achieve what
you long to achieve.

MLM'er Or Internet Marketer

2009-02-01T21:44:00.000-05:00

Are you trying to market your products on the internet with no success?
Wondering why you are not building a customer base?
Will someone purchase from you if they do not know who you are?
There is no trust factor!

To find a customer you need to have the know, like and trust components together. The easiest way to do this is to promote yourself first and your products second. People will readily purchase from someone they trust. Learn how to market or brand yourself first, the rest will follow.

It has been shown that to achieve success on the internet you must know how to market online. Everyone needs to know how to do this, then once you have attained this skill your are able to market anything that you want.....but first we must learn.

We are all looking for a proven system, that we can make money online with.
This is where the Crazyfoxes Marketing Group comes into play, to teach people the relationship building that comes during the process, as Karen Weir of the Crazyfoxes says people join people not businesses.

Compare it to teaching a man how to fish. Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and feed him for a life time.

One of the things that I would recommend is for everyone to start your own blog, about who you are and what you have to offer people. Just start posting and posting on a regular basis. One of the keys to your online success will be in becoming persistent and consistent. You want to be marketing 'You' on the internet

Posting on your blog will encompass what you will learn with the tools recommended by the Crazyfoxes. Using Veretekk and NPN, plus the SEO part of the training.

Everything that you do will work together and eventually lead back to your Primary business. As you learn you will make money with the smaller programs which will in turn funnel back into your primary or MLM program.

We have to start working and thinking like a marketer and not a merchant, if you want to be making money online.

2009-01-20T13:35:00.006-05:00

Well today I have spent time learning more about keywords and making money online with our proven system. It definetly took time and effort to research the keywords that I want to go after and ones that would be relative to the online system that I am promoting. Then finally once I got that done is was getting the changes into my veretekk account. Thankfully being part of the platinum control panel PTP it was a painless procedure. My wonderful mentor Cindy Bolley who has control of the panel perfected the changes within minutes. Then it just left me to think of how to describe myself online.

So this is what I have come up with:

Dependence on Your Computer:

When you work from home you really depend on your computer, and when it decides to act you, you don't realize just how much you miss it.

Mine decided that it was going to run slow, real slow, a snail could have honestly gone faster. Couldn't figure out what it was and kept getting messages about virtual memory being low etc. Thank goodness within our CrazyFoxes Marketing Group we have a great guy Steve Ward, who dones wonders with computers. Along with my son Matt we figured that RAM should solve the issue.

As Matt uses his laptop more we switched the RAM from his older computer to mine. After cleaning out a million dust bunnies and switching things, I seem to be running fine. Definetly much faster, but I do have a bad habit of having too many windows open at one time. Just tells you how my mind is thinking...too much at one time.

Trying to get a balance is difficult and this is a great interview with one of the founders of the CrazyFoxes, Karen Weir. Read it here:

Veretekk System

2009-01-09T10:05:00.003-05:00

I have been busy learning how to use my veretekk system and slowly the fog is clearing and things are starting to come together. Watching to see how the traffic portals are working to get premium leads that you in turn can then mail to with whatever opportunity you might be with.

It has taken time and effort and the best thing I did was attend the silver trainings and then get help from the CrazyFoxes Marketing Group Karen Weir and Cindy Bolley are great trainers and have tons of patience with the endless questions. Following the guidelines of our daily tasks that Karen set out have been very helpful....sometimes it is just not knowing what it is you should be working on to build your business. The step by step guide lays it out for you and then adds various tasks depending on the time you have available.

I am working on building my html skills even more and though it can be frustrating at times it is enjoyable once the page has come together and looks how you had it planned.

7 Ways to Boost your Business, Simply By Asking

2009-01-07T20:33:00.008-05:00

I came across a great article today about boosting your sales and just thought that these points really reflected the CrazyFoxes Marketing Group that I am currently working with.

By Mark Hansen:

The gift called asking has been around for a long, long time. In fact, one of life's fundamental truths states, ask and you shall receive. Kids are masters at using this gift but we adults seem to lose our ability to ask. We come up with all sorts of excuses and reasons to avoid any possibility of rejection. Yet the world responds to those who ask. If you are not moving closer to what you want in sales, you probably aren't doing enough asking.

Fortunately, to help create abundance there are many ways to ask. Since the rewards of asking are substantial, why do people stumble when they have an opportunity to ask? There are three basic reasons:

1. They have a belief system that says it's not right to ask.

2. They lack confidence.

3. They fear rejection.

If any of these three negative forces are playing havoc with your opportunity to get ahead, you must use what is called taking the leap of faith. That means releasing old beliefs, feeling good about yourself and understanding that life isn't perfect. It's normal to experience a lot of roadblocks along the way.

1. Ask for help.
To win potential new clients, you first need to know what their current challenges are, what they want to accomplish and how they plan to do it. Only then can you proceed to demonstrate the advantages of your unique product or service. Ask questions starting with the words, who, why, what, where, when and how to obtain the information you need. Only when you truly understand and appreciate the needs of a prospect can you offer a solution. If everything fits, the solution will be your product or service.

Our CrazyFoxes Marketing Group always has someone available to answer your questions in our live chat sessions.

2. Ask for business.
Here's an amazing statistic: After doing a complete presentation about the benefits of their product or service, more than 60 percent of the time, salespeople never ask for the order. That's a bad habit, one that could ultimately put you on the selling scrap heap.

Always ask a closing question to secure the business. Don't talk around it, or worse, wait for your prospect to ask you. You have read good suggestions for these questions, like "Would you like to give it a try?' The point is, just ask. Note that these questions are designed to produce a yes or no answer, unlike the open type questions used in the discovery process.

3. Ask for written endorsements.
Well-written, results-oriented testimonials from highly respected people are powerful for future sales. They solidify the quality of your work and leverage you as a person who has integrity, is trustworthy and who gets the job done on time. Yet most people in sales don't do this. That gives you a great opportunity to jump ahead of your competition. All you need to do is ask. When is the best time? Right after you have provided excellent service, completed a major project under budget, gone the extra mile to help out, or any other time you've made your customer really happy.

Simply ask if your customer would be willing to give you a testimonial about the value of your product or service, plus any other helpful comments.

I have personally done this and these testimonials have given my business a boost.

4. Ask for top-quality referrals.
Just about everyone in business knows the importance of referrals. It's the easiest, least-expensive way of ensuring your growth and success in the marketplace. In our experience, however, only one out of ten companies has a system for gathering referrals.
Your core clients will gladly give you referrals because you treat them so well. So why not ask all of them for referrals? It's a habit that will dramatically increase your income. Like any other habit, the more you do it the easier it becomes.

5. Ask for more business.
Salespeople lose thousands of dollars in sales every year because they have nothing more to offer after the initial sale. Look for other products or services you can provide your customers. Devise a system that tells you when your clients will require more of your products. The simplest way is to ask your customers when you should contact them to reorder. It's often easier to sell your existing clients more than to go looking for new ones.

The CrazyFoxes system offers everyone a variety of tools for their business, some free, some paid.

6. Ask to renegotiate.
Regular business activities include negotiation. Many salespeople get stuck because they lack skills in negotiation. It's another form of asking that can save a lot of time and money. All sorts of contracts can be renegotiated in your own personal life like changing your mortgage terms and rate. As long as you negotiate ethically and in the spirit of win-win, you can enjoy a lot of flexibility. Nothing is ever cast in stone.

7. Ask for feedback.
This is an important component of asking that is often overlooked. How do you really know if your product or service is meeting the needs of your customer? Ask them, "How are we doing? What can we do to improve our service to you? Tell us what you like about our products and what you don't like. " Set up regular customer surveys that ask good questions and tough questions. It's a way to fine-tune your business.

HOW TO ASK

Some people don't enjoy the fruits of asking because they don't ask effectively. If you use vague, unspecific language you will not be understood. Here are four ways to ensure that your asking gets results.

1. Ask clearly.
Be precise. Think clearly about your request. Take time to prepare. Use a notepad to pick words that have the greatest impact. Words are powerful, so choose them carefully.

2. Ask with confidence.
People who ask confidently get more than those who are hesitant and uncertain. When you've figured out what you want to ask for, do it with certainty, boldness and confidence. This does not mean being brash, arrogant or conceited. The only negative thing that can happen is that your request may be denied. You are in no worse position than before. It just means that you need to look for another route for results.

3. Ask consistently.
Some people fold after making one timid request. They quit too soon. Keep asking until you find the answers. In sales there are usually four or five "no's" before you get a "yes. " Top producers understand this. When you find a way to ask that works, keep on asking it.

4. Ask creatively.
In this age of global competition, your asking may get lost in the crowd, unheard by the decision-makers you hope to reach. There is a way around this. If you want someone's attention, don't send an ordinary letter. Use your creativity to dream up a high- impact introduction. You may not want to go so far as the saleswoman who sent a chief buyer a homing pigeon with her card attached to one leg. On the card she had written, "If you want to know more about our product, just throw our representative out the window." Think of what you can do to create a powerful impact with your most important prospects and don't be surprised when those impenetrable doors swing wide open to welcome you in.

Join the CrazyFoxes Marketing Group and be at the leading edge of a great new program.

5. Ask sincerely.
When you really need help, people will respond. Sincerity means dropping the image facade and showing a willingness to be vulnerable. Tell it the way it is, lumps and all. Don't worry if your presentation isn't perfect; ask from your heart. Keep it simple and people will open up to you.

When you've exhausted all avenues to get what you want, people are more likely to give a helping hand when you ask for support. People who ask for a free ride all the time rarely succeed.

Happy New Year - thoughts and reflections.

Well I wanted to post one last item for this year and it seems very fitting to be on the topic of our New Year Resolutions. We always make them, it seems a wonderful time of year to make one too.

Today I decided that I would spring clean my home, dusting, laundry, cleaning in the corners, vacuuming the basement, washing the floors, extra scrubbing in the bathrooms.. Figured it was cleaning away the cobwebs in all aspects of my life, so I can start fresh tomorrow. To some it might seem like an exaggeration but to someone who wants and expects some new things it fits right in.

Tomorrow, January 1, 2009...I want to get on track with my online business and finally generate some cash flow. I have teamed with the CrazyFoxes Marketing Group and am really excited about the new possibilities that lie ahead.

The next item on my list is to lose weight. Yes I know your going to say everyone says this but to me this year it is different. I am fed up with feeling sore and unhealthy, of waking up some nights wondering if I am going to have a heart attack...I really am not that old just have to take better care of myself. So I am going to cut back on my calories, drink lots of water and herbal teas and start getting a good amount of exercise and get my life back on track. I want to lose between 60-70lbs and of course as quick as possible, but if I can just see and feel myself on track I will be happy.

Follow us along on our weight loss journey with the CrazyFoxes Biggest Losers here. Join in if you feel you would like the team support and fun this is going to bring.

My last item on my list for 2009 is to be prepared for our dog Molson, our yellow labrador, not to last til next Christmas, he will be 14 in Feb and we can see that he does not get around as good as he used to. We often carry him up from the basement stairs, as it can be difficult for him to climb them. Not that we are trying to think in the negative but just that the time is coming nearer and the future will bring what it will.....

But knowing that he has had a wonderful dog life is a plus, he has had bush to run in, a pond to swim in, he has been out fishing in our boat and camping...he has been happy and not locked up in a cage all day. Spent time chasing rabbits, deer, turkey and blue heron! It's been fun to watch him do all this.

So far he still has a good appetite which is a plus but almost every month we can see changes in him and we try to prepare for what will someday lie ahead....Which will be very difficult to say the least. Our younger dog Skyla will miss him terribly as she has learnt good and bad from him, but watches everything he does and mothers him like crazy...she may need another companion but time will only tell.

All in all I am looking forward to 2009 and the challanges and rewards it will bring to us all. Let us all bail ourselves out of the economic situation and not rely on some government to do it for us.

Here's to a wonderful and prosperous New Year. To thoughts and reflections along the way.

My Economic Bailout Plan

2008-12-09T14:43:00.004-05:00

Everywhere in the news people are scared and worried about their job security, their homes and their life in general. The Canadian economy is hurting right now too, especially the automotive sector. Where I live automotive is one of the biggest employers in the region and companies are laying people off like crazy.

People are turning to the internet to make money from home, but with what?, how? It can all seem so confusing to the new person starting out.

However there is an answer to this. I have recently joined with a fantastic group of marketers known as the Crazy Foxes. A group of internet marketers who are leaving their trademark on internet marketing - Karen Weir, Cindy Bolley and Robbie Bracco . Through this group I have been fortunate to make business acquaintances with members in other countries such is the power of the marketing system that they use. Crazy Foxes has the answer! They have the systems, the tools, the technology and the know how. Jump on aboard and start your own economic bailout plan today.

Let me show you our Home

The excavator took up no room at all in our backyard! Here to finish digging out the pond and get our yard on the road to recovery! Everyone had a great time just watching this machine move around, the boys were 8 and 9 at the time so they had a great time and even got to sit inside the cab on the workers' coffee break. Once we came out early on a Sat to watch the sun rise up over the trees and saw deer walking down into the yet to be finished pond to grab a drink.

This is our home after a big snowfall, it always looks so beautiful with the snow on the cedars and the pine trees. We have actually moved a few of the trees back now. Plus I am always amazed at how many seedlings we find trying to grow, and we move them out into the open and 'landscape' our home for free!

It took a lot of work to clear our property and it is one of those jobs that you only ever take on once in your life! When you realize how much work it is, it's 'never again', but definitely a life experience. Now we can sit back and appreciate the work we put into our property. All in all in took about 4-5 yrs to get it to look the way we wanted.
