			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been talking a lot about &#8220;visioning&#8221; in my webinars lately. Visioning is not a mission statement. And it&#8217;s not a strategic plan. A vision statement is &#8220;where you want to be&#8221; and a strategic plan is &#8220;how you will get there&#8221;.</p>
<p>But you can&#8217;t really create an effective strategic plan until you know &#8220;where you want to be&#8221; &#8230;until you know what success should look like.</p>
<p>Your vision statement is NOT what’s wrong with life as you currently know it. It&#8217;s what your business/lifestyle is going to look like when you successfully arrive at where you’re going &#8230;and when things are working really, really well.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s about writing out something that gets you excited, makes you want to go to work each morning and work through the inevitable challenges that will come up en route to an INSPIRING long-term outcome.</p>
<p>We covered this in great detail in the Fast Start webinar found in our new &#8220;Knock It Out Of The Park in 2011!&#8221; program.</p>
<p>But in order to be effective, a vision statement include certain things&#8230; 1) It must be inspiring 2) It must be written down 3) It must be shared with others</p>
<p>I have my best ideas when I wake up and last week, I woke up and remembered that I had written a vision several years ago. I had completely forgotten about this vision since &#8220;visioning&#8221; was not a priority like it is now..</p>
<p>Never the less, it had all 3 characteristics of a good vision statement. It was inspiring &#8211; encompassing how I would integrate my work, family and ministry. It was written down &#8211; I actually wrote the vision as the preface in my book, &#8220;A Father&#8217;s Stew&#8221;. And I had shared it with the hundreds of people who bought my book!</p>
<p>And here&#8217;s the cool thing &#8230;almost everything has come to pass just as I had written it down 8 years ago! This visioning stuff really works!</p>
<p>If you want to see what I wrote, just scroll down to the bottom of this post.</p>
<p>Also, if you want to see our BEST strategy of 2010 &#8211; the one that has added thousands of email subscribers to our list &#8211; and got Big Players in our niche to co-create a product with us and then turn around and promote that product to their HUGE email lists &#8211; then you need to watch the encore presentation of &#8220;Our Best Strategy of 2010!&#8221; <a href="http://www.familyebiz.com/best_strategy2/">http://www.familyebiz.com/best_strategy2/</a></p>
<p>This is not a replay link. We are doing an encore presentation tomorrow night at 9pm Eastern. That&#8217;s Tuesday, December 21 at 9pm Eastern. Make sure you register here: <a href="http://www.familyebiz.com/best_strategy2/">http://www.familyebiz.com/best_strategy2/</a></p>
<p>Before 2011 starts, write down your vision statement. Then create a strategic plan that will implement the vision you just created.</p>
<p>Blessings,</p>
<p>Stephen and Kerry Beck</p>
<p>From the preface of &#8220;A Father&#8217;s Stew&#8221;&#8230;</p>
<p>The Bible states that without a vision, the people perish. I have a dream, a vision if you will. In my dream, I wake up excited to start another day at work. Surely, you must be dreaming you say! No, I am excited because I know that this work is the very work that God has called me to do.</p>
<p>My wife is my right hand in this work and I know that God could not have given me anyone better suited to this task. My children are involved in my work and it proves to be a tremendous training ground for them. For my daughters, as they submit to me and follow my leadership, I am able to train them to be godly wives and mothers someday. For my son, I am able to teach him to obey God and one day, lead a family of his own. Younger men are also involved in my work and working side by side gives me the opportunity to teach them to apply God’s Word with wisdom and understanding in their daily affairs. My wife ministers to younger women as well, teaching them to honor their husbands and love their children in a godly manner.</p>
<p>My children see these young men and women grow and are encouraged to one day disciple younger believers on their own. The younger men and women see my children and realize that the Bible is true and a godly family can be achieved. My work blesses my family and my ministry. My family helps me in my work and provides concrete examples for my ministry. My ministry provides helpers for my work and motivation for my family.  For you see, work, family and ministry are all ingredients to a stew. A stew that is described in Phil 4:18 as a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.familyebiz.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/tapemeasure.jpg"></a><a href="http://www.familyebiz.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/tapemeasure1.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-2046" title="tapemeasure" src="http://www.familyebiz.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/tapemeasure1-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>Have you ever had a dependable tool that never let you down? When I was in the deck building business, I needed a tape measure just about every day. The trouble was, they were constantly getting lost or misplaced.</p>
<p>But we had one tape measure that NEVER got lost &#8211; <strong>we called him &#8220;old faithful&#8221;.</strong> It was so old that the numbers were worn off the<br />
first 24 inches &#8211; which made measuring smaller boards a real trick! But he never got lost and we could always find &#8220;old faithful&#8221; if we needed a tape measure in a pinch!</p>
<p>Well, here&#8217;s a tool &#8211; a strategy &#8211; that will never let you down. And unlike &#8220;old faithful&#8221;, it works in ANY niche &#8211; with ANY list size &#8211; no matter what your skill level in marketing!</p>
<p>Imagine being able to 1) increase your list by thousands, 2) generate thousands of dollars in sales, 3) create a product (that you can sell over and over), 4) get Big Players in your<br />
niche to help co-create the product and 5) get them to turn around and help you PROMOTE your product &#8230;all at the SAME time using this one secret strategy!</p>
<p>Well, I am having a special webinar THIS Saturday to share my 5 Step Formula for implementing this strategy. You know it&#8217;s special because I very rarely work on Saturdays, but I wanted you to have this information BEFORE we hit the new year so you can SEE it and start making plans to USE it in 2011!</p>
<p><strong>Sound interesting?</strong></p>
<p>Join me this Saturday by registering here:<br />
<a href="http://www.familyebiz.com/best_strategy"><strong>http://www.FamilyEbiz.com/best_strategy</strong></a></p>
<p>I have no plans to upload a replay of this webinar. I MAY do another one next week if there is enough demand, but there are no guarantees. Be there LIVE!</p>
<p>The first step to using this super strategy is to claim your spot on this FREE webinar! Do it now while there are spots available:<br />
<a href="http://www.familyebiz.com/best_strategy"><strong>http://www.FamilyEbiz.com/best_strategy</strong></a></p>
<p>Blessings,</p>
<p>Stephen and Kerry Beck</p>
<p>PS&#8230;This strategy added over 1700 email subscribers to one list in one week, added over 1800 email subscribers to a completely different list in a completely different niche &#8230;also in less<br />
than a week! And generated thousands of dollars in sales!</p>
<p>PPS&#8230;This strategy also allowed us to create 2 products that we can now sell over and over, got BIG TIME MOVERS AND SHAKERS in our niche PROMOTE the product to their lists, and provided a &#8220;what&#8217;s next&#8221; for the new subscribers we just added!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>If I gave you one choice, which would you choose?</strong><a href="http://www.familyebiz.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/shell-game.jpg"><strong><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1988" title="shell-game" src="http://www.familyebiz.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/shell-game-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></strong></a></p>
<p>1. A great product that everyone wants</p>
<p>2. A big email list</p>
<p>I would choose #2 EVERY TIME!</p>
<p>You see, with a big list, you have people to offer a great product to. I have seen this again and again. <strong>People have a really good product, but they have no one to sell it to and they don&#8217;t know how to get the word out.</strong> And after they have given up, someone else with a big list offers a similar product and really cleans up!</p>
<p>A big list also allows you to offer more than one product. In fact, having a big list allows you to offer as many products as your list wants. And the products can be yours or someone else&#8217;s that you get a commission from. <strong>Now that&#8217;s the ability to generate cash at will!</strong></p>
<p>And finally, a big list gives you LEVERAGE!<strong> Other people with big lists want to work with you because you can reciprocate.</strong> They know that if THEY promote your product, you are also in the position to promote theirs when the time comes. Very powerful!</p>
<p>In fact, I feel so strongly about building a list that<strong> I have created a video, especially for YOU, that has 7 UNIQUE tips for building your list.</strong> It&#8217;s only about 7 minutes long, but I think you&#8217;ll get a lot out of it! Watch the video at the link below:</p>
<p><a href="http://budurl.com/7ListBuildingTips"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">http://budurl.com/7ListBuildingTips</span></strong></a><br />
(Because of where I&#8217;m hosting the video, you will see a security warning &#8211; just click &#8220;yes&#8221;)</p>
<p>But, I&#8217;m only leaving the video online until this Friday.<strong> AFTER FRIDAY, THE VIDEO COMES DOWN!</strong></p>
<p>I also have an incredible offer right below the video which will DISAPPEAR on Friday as well. <strong>All I can say is &#8230;the price is right for these economic times!</strong></p>
<p>In fact, tomorrow, I&#8217;m going to address &#8220;doing business online in these troubled times&#8221;. Look for my email tomorrow, but until then, check out my video on the 7 UNIQUE tips for  building your list!</p>
<p>Watch the video RIGHT NOW:<strong> </strong><a href="http://budurl.com/7ListBuildingTips"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">http://budurl.com/7ListBuildingTips</span></strong></a></p>
<p>Talk to you tomorrow,</p>
<p>Stephen Beck</p>
<p>PS&#8230; <strong>post a comment about the video below!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If I hear one more Internet &#8220;Guru&#8221; say that the economy doesn&#8217;t<br />
matter, <strong>I&#8217;m gonna scream!</strong></p>
<p>They say that the economy doesn&#8217;t affect an online business. That<br />
it doesn&#8217;t matter if people see their mutual fund tanking &#8230;or<br />
their retirement fund taking massive hits &#8230;or they&#8217;re afraid of<br />
losing their job. <strong>That people will go on blindly buying<br />
information products even in the midst of such uncertainty.<br />
</strong><br />
But the economy DOES matter. And it DOES affect everyone and<br />
everything. And no, online businesses are NOT IMMUNE from the<br />
negative effects of a slow and sluggish economy.</p>
<p>To paraphrase Clinton campaign strategist James Carville:<strong> &#8220;It&#8217;s<br />
the economy, stupid!&#8221;<br />
</strong><br />
If the &#8220;Gurus&#8221; were honest with you, they would tell you that&#8230;</p>
<p>- Attendance at live seminars and workshops is WAY down this<br />
year. People are unwilling to spend the money to travel.</p>
<p>- Refunds are WAY up this year. People are rummaging through<br />
their book shelves looking for products they can return. Even<br />
courses they bought 2 years ago!</p>
<p>- Overall sales are down due to people holding on to their money<br />
and adopting a &#8220;wait and see&#8221; attitude. They are no longer buying<br />
every product that hits their email inbox!</p>
<p>So when &#8220;Gurus&#8221; tell you that nothing has changed. That it&#8217;s<br />
still just as easy to make money on the Internet.<strong> Don&#8217;t believe<br />
them.<br />
</strong><br />
So what&#8217;s the good news?</p>
<p>People are more discerning these days. They are no longer<br />
looking for the super-hyped product that promises a fast buck<br />
with no effort whatsoever on the part of the purchaser. They<br />
aren&#8217;t buying the &#8220;push a button and get rich&#8221; software you see<br />
every week.</p>
<p>They are looking for something real. They are looking for<br />
quality.</p>
<p><strong>Yes, it is harder to sell products online right now.</strong> But the<br />
economy is forcing the &#8220;quick buck&#8221; artists out of business. It&#8217;s<br />
no longer worth their time to create junk products if people<br />
aren&#8217;t snapping them up every week.</p>
<p>So&#8230;</p>
<p>If people are buying quality, then those who sell quality<br />
information products have a better chance of being heard because<br />
the rough economy is driving out the scam artists. Like a hard<br />
rain washing all of the trash off the streets and into the<br />
gutter.</p>
<p><strong>Your job as a marketer will get easier because you won&#8217;t have<br />
to shout at the top of your lungs just to be heard!</strong> Hard<br />
circumstances and rough economic times have a way of weeding out<br />
the weak and the sub-standard.</p>
<p>Just thank God that the American government doesn&#8217;t have a<br />
bail-out system for bad information marketers like it did for bad<br />
banks, weak insurance companies and non-competitive airlines!</p>
<p>So a little rough patch is a GOOD thing! Are you ready to<br />
capitalize on it?<strong> Are you ready to step up and seize the moment?</strong></p>
<p>If you have ever thought of making money online, now is the time.<br />
BEFORE everyone and his brother has it figured out and saturates<br />
the market. And AFTER the last little shake-up we&#8217;ve just had<br />
that weeds out a lot of your competition!</p>
<p>So, yes the economy makes it harder run an online business<br />
&#8230;right now! But there will be a day very soon, when those who<br />
persevere and work hard will see unbelievable fruit for their<br />
efforts!</p>
<p>Create quality content, learn your marketing lessons well and<br />
keep contacting potential joint venture partners<strong> &#8230;that&#8217;s the<br />
recipe for success in these hard times.<br />
</strong><br />
Blessings,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re like me, you have a lot on your plate. Between work, family and everything else, I just don&#8217;t have a lot of spare time. And sometimes I just don&#8217;t feel like doing the things I KNOW NEED TO GET DONE!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.familyebiz.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/website-article-59.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1904" title="list building" src="http://www.familyebiz.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/website-article-59-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a>Like driving traffic to my web sites.</p>
<p>I know I need to do it. I know that just a few traffic tactics would swell my online income like the winner in a hot dog eating contest. But I honestly I didn&#8217;t know where to begin.</p>
<p>So, I did what every hard-working entrepreneur would do&#8230;I gave the job to someone else!</p>
<p>I have a virtual assistant named Shannon who knew next to nothing about traffic, search engines and all that kind of stuff. I said, &#8221;Here, watch this video and do what it says.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://budurl.com/celh">http://www.TheTrafficBootcamp.com</a></strong></p>
<p>And that&#8217;s it. No training. No follow up. No nothing.</p>
<p>And quite frankly, I didn&#8217;t expect much.<strong> But then she gave me a report after a few weeks:</strong></p>
<p>#1 in Google for webinar training (2,070,000 competing web pages)</p>
<p>#1 in Google for webinar strategy (1,190,000 competing web pages)</p>
<p>&#8211; I actually have 5 of the top 8 spots for this keyword</p>
<p>#2 in Google for webinar tool (1,190,000 competing web pages)</p>
<p>#1 in Google for webinar presentation (323,000 competing pages)</p>
<p>#3 in Google for business webinar (9.5 million competing pages!)</p>
<p>#2 in Google for business webinar training (1,220,000 competing</p>
<p>pages)</p>
<p>I have many other top 10 rankings in Google, but I wanted to show you the ones that HAD HUGE COMPETITION! The pages that BEAT OUT MILLIONS OF COMPETING WEB PAGES to get those high rankings in the search engines. Which generates LOTS of traffic to my web sites!</p>
<p>Did I fall into a chocolate pie or what!</p>
<p>And then she did the same thing for my <strong><a href="http://www.Youronlinebasics.com">Online Business Basics</a> </strong>course&#8230;I guess my laziness paid off in a big way! Shannon took that simple video and went to town!</p>
<p>Would you like to watch the same video Shannon did? It&#8217;s called the 24-Hour Traffic Plan Video. It gives you 13 things to do in the next 24 hours to start driving massive amounts of traffic to your site &#8230;sometimes within days!</p>
<p>And massive amounts of traffic equals MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF ONLINE INCOME &#8230;and calls from important joint venture partners looking to do business with you!</p>
<p>So, check out the video that started this whole ball rolling. And see if my laziness can be your good fortune!</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://budurl.com/celh">http://www.TheTrafficBootcamp.com</a></strong></p>
<p>Warmly,</p>
<p>Stephen Beck</p>
<p>PS&#8230;<strong>This video will only be available until the end of this week </strong><strong>on Friday, September 3</strong>. After that, I will pull it down indefinitely. Don&#8217;t sit on the fence for this one!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In a previous article, I told you about some of our background in starting an internet business. We have sold homeschool curriculum, eBooks, and home-study courses built around <strong><a href="http://www.youronlinebasics.com/online_business_how%20to.html">online business how to tips</a></strong>. And we have learned a lot about the intnert through both our success and failures.</p>
<p>The first eBook we ever sold, my wife wrote. It is called &#8220;Raising Leaders, Not Followers.&#8221; Basically it was an eBook designed specifically for homeschoolers, teaching them how to raise their kids for leadership positions. My wife approached me with the idea, and I said, &#8220;Honey, it is not really a barn-burning topic. I just do not know that you are going to make any money with it.&#8221; Well, she proved me wrong. She sold $11,197 the first 19 days. How is that for internet marketing 101?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.familyebiz.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/nativity-squidoo.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1859" title="online business how to" src="http://www.familyebiz.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/nativity-squidoo-286x300.jpg" alt="nativity (squidoo)" width="286" height="300" /></a>Not too shabby, right? On the heels of her first success, my wife started thinking about another eBook for the Christmas season. She said to me, &#8220;Sweetie, I am going to write another eBook about preparing your heart for Christmas. It seems like a lot of people get close to Christmas day and end up discouraged because they were not really prepared for the season. The presents are great, but what do they do next?&#8221;</p>
<p>I told her, &#8220;That is a great idea, but there is so much free stuff on the internet about Christmas. How do you think you will get people to buy it?&#8221; I was not too optimistic, but she proved me wrong again. She sold over $2000 with her Christmas eBook. It turned out to be an unexpected bonus. And now every year, we roll it out a month or so before Christmas, and every year we get the same bonus.</p>
<p>You see the principle here? Well, I am not the sharpest tool in the shed, I will be the first to admit. But when I saw my wife do these two things, I thought, I can do it myself. And I got my chance to start an internet business pretty quickly.</p>
<p>I had a red pickup truck. It was a Ford F150. My daughter had taken it to high school. She was playing softball with the high school. And all of a sudden, her teammates were screaming, &#8220;Gentry, your truck is on fire!&#8221; She looks up. There were flames going 20 feet high out from under the hood.</p>
<p>Turns out Ford had recalled the cruise control switch in this particular model. And I could see why. Once we got the fire put out, we could see that the truck was totaled. I called Ford, but all they could do was apologize. It seems they had notified me of the recall by sending me a notice to my previous address in Texas. But we lived in Idaho.</p>
<p>I decided to start an online business, so I put up a little website that said, &#8220;My truck caught on fire.&#8221; I had pictures of the truck, and I opened up the hood and showed how all the engine compartment was burned up and all the wires were burned up. I said, &#8220;Why don&#8217;t you help me while I help you? I&#8217;m going to give you all this free internet marketing stuff. Graphics package. Some software. eBooks. Marketing tips.&#8221; All this stuff I had compiled and got free off the internet. I compiled it into a product and sold it for like $47. And I made $5,470 in the first 9 days.</p>
<p>I hope what you are seeing from these real-life examples is that you can succeed on the internet. Seriously! All you need is a little online business how to and you can begin making a profit.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Maybe you are reading this article in a cubicle somewhere. Or maybe you are surfing the internet on the weekend because you have an idea for a business, and all you need to know is what to do to first! Allow me to give you some <strong><a href="http://www.youronlinebasics.com">business start up advice</a></strong>. Begin by nailing down what you will market as your information product.</p>
<p>That begs the question, &#8220;What is an information product?&#8221; An information product is any knowledge in your head that others would find valuable. Let me repeat that, any knowledge or experience in your head that others would find valuable can be packaged and sold.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.familyebiz.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/information-products-article-85.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1840" title="business start-up advice" src="http://www.familyebiz.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/information-products-article-85-300x199.jpg" alt="information products (article 85)" width="300" height="199" /></a>Business Start up Advice #1 &#8211; Use Different Mediums</strong></p>
<p>You can share this knowledge with others through a variety of media. That can be a digital product, a physical product, an e-book, a video, an audio, or all of the above. Many of my products have an all of the above component. Some are written, some are videos, some are audios, some are multi-media productions.</p>
<p><strong>Business Start-up Advice #2 &#8211; Develop Your Own Name</strong></p>
<p>The key to starting your own business is to <em>have one product that is exclusively your own</em>. Otherwise, you are building someone else&#8217;s name and not your own. I am not refering to network marketing. I think that is great. If you are selling Mary Kay or Amway or whatever, then go for it. But in order to really start up your own business, you will absolutely need your own product.</p>
<p>You should be the one to control your business and your time. It is crazy to work for a small percentage of money or to let someone else tell you how to do things in your business. You should be in control and of your time and your products. When it is your own, you could keep anywhere from 90 to 95% of the profits.</p>
<p>All of the big players have their own product. We are talking names like Armon Moore and Ray Edwards, Alex Mendoza, Dan Kennedy. All the guys in the information marketing business have their own product. Why? Because they know that it works and it builds their own brand instead of someone else&#8217;s.</p>
<p><strong>Business Start-up Advice #3 &#8211; Get Out of the Time for Money Trap</strong></p>
<p>And you get out of the trading time for money trap. A lot of you are in that trap right now, whether you are working a 9 to 5 job, or even if you are doing consulting. You are still trading time for money. When you can create something one time and sell it over and over and over, you get out of that trading time for money trap.</p>
<p><strong>Business Start up Advice #4 &#8211; Establish Your Authority</strong></p>
<p>Think of how much authority you can establish when people read your ebook of listen to your CD. You will be seen as an expert in your niche and as someone who can be trusted.</p>
<p>Think of how many leads you can generate for your business by giving them something concrete. <em>An information product makes your business memorable and can also build your list.</em></p>
<p>So start today by brainstorming what you know and write down the information you have in your brain. Make your products from this knowledge and begin building a business. In a short while, you will be in charge of a growing business and responsible for giving others business start-up advice.</p>
