Thanksgiving is 2 days away and I am thankful for something that may make you feel uncomfortable. I’m thankful that Kerry and I have tripled our six-figure business in the last 12 months, even in a down economy.Now you may be thinking, “How can you say a thing like that when so many are struggling to make ends meet right now! Shouldn’t you be thankful for intangible things like family and friends?”

Yes, I am very thankful for my family and friends, but I am also thankful for the success that God is giving to my online business (and the online businesses of my students). I would be crazy not to be thankful for His provisions, because I love God and I love business at the same time!

That probably makes even more people feel uncomfortable! But if you don’t love what you’re doing, then why are you doing it? And one of the cool things I get to do is share with you EXACTLY what makes my business successful.

In fact, I’m coming out with a new product very soon. It’s called “What’s Hot, What’s Not in 2010!” It is all about what works and what doesn’t in TODAY’s online business climate. That way you can save time by avoiding stuff that doesn’t work.

I also include the steps I took to re-tool my mind so that I could triple my income this year.

And the cool thing is …that’s exactly what you told me you wanted in the survey I sent out last week!

So have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Play hard! And keep your eyes peeled on Black Friday for more information on our “What’s Hot, What’s Not in 2010!” coming soon to a theater near you!

Warmly,

Stephen Beck

Hi Steve and Kerry.

I’m doing my first Webinar tomorrow night. And I’m planning to do these once a week.

I used the webinar template I got from your Getting Wildly Wealthy with Webinars class.

Made it so easy!

Steve and Sara Blumenfeld

I’m not the type of guy that plans everything out. I tend to start a lot of projects rolling and then see which ones are profitable. This is great if you take criticism and rejection well. Unfortunately I’m not that type of person.You see, I’m not the type of person that likes to poke his nose in the business of others. I don’t have a problem with helping someone with advice if they ask for it, but I don’t offer advice without being asked first. That said, there are a lot of people who are just the opposite and have no problem with sharing their opinion, solicited or unsolicited. If you do things in a public light, many people will have their opinions about what you do and how you do it. This certainly applies if you are running a home internet business. There are plenty of critics out there to point out your flaws as an owner of a home internet business.

They know every mistake you make as soon as you make it and are quick to tell you about it. Some of them even make accusations based upon what they perceive to be your hidden motive behind the business decisions you make.

Some of these critics will send long emails analyzing your every move and what your “real plan” is. Never mind the fact that they don’t know you from Adam. They’ve made up their mind …and you are always in the wrong.

It all reminds me of a song that I enjoyed as a kid by Ricky Nelson. Ricky was the son of Ozzie and Harriet. For most of his career he wrote a lot of malt shop 50′s type songs, but in the 70′s he made a shift in his music. One time in October of 71, he performed at a Rock n Roll concert that was held at Madison Square Garden. He had a completely different hairstyle, different clothes and different music as well.

Unfortunately for Ricky, the crowd didn’t appreciate these changes and halfway through the show he was literally booed off the stage. After the show, Ricky wrote down how he felt using the following lyrics:

“I went to a Garden Party, to reminisce with my old friends, a chance to share some memories, and play our songs again.”

“When I got to the Garden Party, they all knew my name, but no one heard the music- I didn’t look the same.”

“But it’s all right now. I learned my lesson well. You see you can’t please everyone so you gotta please yourself.”

Ricky later entitled these lyrics “Garden Party” and it became one of his best selling songs of his career. Even though he went against the crowd, he ended up being better for it in the end.

Ricky’s personal anthem was as follows, “you can’t please everyone, so you gotta please yourself.” I would also add, you “gotta please the Lord.”

So what’s the lesson in this? Do not get discouraged by your critics. Most of them do not have a home internet business anyway! Seek the Lord for direction, decide what you want to do and do it with all of your ability.
