"I wanted to develop a method where ANYONE can start with little or no money and create an unlimited income over a period of time by reinvesting a portion of their profits to generate additional income from other sources.

They can't afford much so let's start small. Let's make this available for as many people as we can. Then, as they earn money, they have the opportunity to increase their income by investing a portion of their earnings to create additional income.

That's how people start businesses...

In 1954 a salesman named Ray Kroc had an opportunity to buy the marketing rights to the "Mix-Master", a machine that would make 7 milkshakes at once. He evaluated the cost versus potential sales volume (and corresponding profit) and decided that it would be wise to invest everything he had into that product in an effort to increase his profits.


... and that's how small businesses grow into big businesses...

He offered to sell a "Mix-Master" machine to the owners of a small hamburger restaurant in California... the McDonald brothers. They evaluated the cost versus potential increase in sales volume (and corresponding increase in profit) and decided that it would be wise to reinvest a portion of their profits to increase their profits.

... and that's how big businesses grow into HUGE businesses...

You own a McDonald's restaurant. You're making a nice profit. McDonald's corporation sends you a letter and asks if you'd be interested in adding a "Play Place" to your restaurant. You evaluate the cost versus potential increase in sales volume (and corresponding increase in profit) and you decide that it would be wise to reinvest a portion of your profits to increase your profits.

... and that's how HUGE businesses grow into conglomerates.

You own thirty-five McDonald's restaurants. You're making an astronomical profit. McDonald's corporation sends you a letter and asks if you'd be interested in purchasing the franchise rights to Madrid, Paris, and London. You evaluate the cost versus potential increase in sales volume (and corresponding increase in profit) and you decide that it would be wise to reinvest a portion of your profits to increase your profits.

I didn't create this. I'm just the first one (as far as I can tell) to apply this to building a business on the Internet."

Sometimes we need to stop and look at our Internet endeavors from a different perspective (shall we say, of common sense?). I think the above post by Dave helps us to do exactly that! I hope it will help you see things in the light of reality and guide you in the right direction in anything you do online.

Your friend,
Nat

Sumarizing a Successful OBAer 

Right off the bat:
Don't confuse how much money one has as to his or her success!

These keys will not unlock any opportunities of success without first having a strong and unfailing faith in God or that being which is greater than you.
Please don't go through life as your "own little god."

I encourage you to memorize these six keys
by using the word ADVICE to do so.

"ATTITUDE"
Bloom where you are planted. You have a choice to get back up after temporary set backs. Attitude is a small thing that makes a big difference!

"Direction "
If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there. Write your short term goals down on paper. I have discovered and continue to discover that putting your dreams and goals down on paper lock in or focus your belief that they can be achieved--even if you have to take a course correction in achieving your goals. Success comes in cans, failure comes in can'ts.

"Values "
Explore what is important to you. Maybe it is family, friends, your spirituality or working hard at any given task. I can assure you that your priorities will change as you grow older. Very important that you value yourself and treat yourself like the valuable gift from God that you are.

"Interests "
Birds of a feather flock together. This is to say that if you are hanging around winners or others with a "can do" mind-set, you'll likely adapt to this same kind of thinking. Remember--"SUCCESS LEAVES CLUES"!!

"Commitment"
Feelings may change, commitments do not." Success is getting up one more time than you fall. I have often wanted to give up, and then I must think to myself about what the consequences of giving up will be. Generally, this is more than enough of a motivation to make us stick to the task at hand even if we don't feel like it. When the task is achieved, "Whow!--IT FEELS GREAT!
"

"Encouragement "
Be an encourager and comforter to friends that are feeling discouraged. I promise that you will not regret this as you will be encouraged by one, if not many, when you are feeling down. Encouragement and love are contagious qualities that can change the minds of the most stubborn and "hard-to-get-along-with" people you know. I have seen it happen over and over again.
Hang tough, press on, & NEVER, EVER, EVER, quit!!

Learning to help others succeed is FAR more important than making sales 

What makes me so sure?

Because I've seen people who made (literally) hundreds of sales in their first few months fail because they knew (and/or cared) nothing about helping others.

And I've seen people who have consistently made 1 or 2 sales per month who are doing very well because they learned how to help others.


Will "helping others" and "zero sales" bring success? No.

Will "not helping others" and "LOTS of sales" bring success? No.

To achieve success you must have both. You must be able to "help others" AND "make sales".

So the next question is, "Which comes first?"

Should a person learn how to make sales first, or should he learn to help others first?

That depends.

If you're the type of person who has no regard for what happens to another human being as long as you can put $5 in your pocket, then making sales will probably be your priority... and you will eventually fail.

On the other hand, if you feel that it's more important to be prepared to do as much as you possibly can to help those people who place their trust in you as a friend and a partner in this business, then learning to help others will be your priority... and you will eventually succeed.

Consequently, I think you'll agree that learning to help others succeed is FAR more important than making sales.

Knowledge Is POWER! 

The crooks and scammers are everywhere and they're counting on you NOT knowing their tricks!

As long as they can keep you in the dark, they'll be able to "push your buttons" and get money from you... just like you were their own personal ATM machine!

Tired of being deceived and cheated? Sick of all the dishonesty?

What's the truth?

You won't get rich by next Thursday.
(If someone tells you otherwise, they're lying.)

You can't double your money every week.
(If Warren Buffet and Bill Gates can't, neither can you!)

Nobody's going to flood your PayPal account with money while you sleep.
(You know that, right?)

The "gurus" don't care about you... they just want your money.
(Sorry, but it's true.)

"Get three who get three who get three" doesn't happen.
(They just tell you that because it sounds so easy.)

People will lie to you to get you to send them money.
(Not just some people... MOST people!)

When honest people deal with dishonest people, the dishonest people ALWAYS WIN!
(That's why you've been losing all this time!)

But don't be discouraged! The truth isn't all bad news!

Here's the GOOD NEWS!

What ever happened to HONESTY, INTEGRITY, and truly HELPING others to SUCCEED.
Is it all FALSE HOPE or are there such programs out there that can deliver.

What Are Some Characteristics of a Cult? 

* Authoritarian in their power structure
* Totalitarian in their control of the behavior of their members
* Pyramidal structure
* Uses thought reform techniques
* Isolation of members (physical and/or psychological isolation) from society
* Uses deception in recruiting and/or fund raising
* Promotes dependence of the members on the group
* Totalitarian in their world view
* Uses mind altering techniques (chanting, meditation, hypnosis and various forms of repetitive actions) to stop normal critical thinking
* Appear exclusive and innovative
* Charismatic or messianic leader who is self-appointed and has a special mission in life
* Controls the flow of information
* Instills a fear of leaving the group.

OBA is NOT a cult and Dave is definitely NOT a cult leader.
I have heard it mentioned around the net and think it might be important to put the record straight.

"A cult is a group or movement exhibiting a great or excessive devotion or dedication to some person,
idea, or thing and employing unethically manipulative techniques of persuasion and control (e.g., isolation
from former friends and family, debilitation, use of special methods to heighten suggestibility and subservience,
powerful group pressures, information management, suspension of individuality or critical judgment, promotion
of total dependency on the group and fear of leaving it, etc.) designed to advance the goals of the group's
leaders to the actual or possible detriment of members, their families, or the community."
(West & Langone, 1986)

Will be adding more tomorrow so stay posted.

Ode To OBA 

Years of searching
Years of spending
Years of frustration, never ending.
Then one day in full defiance
Along came Online Business Alliance

He who seeks shall always find.
Now only OBA is on my Mind.
The secret is to help each other,
OBA sister and OBA brother.

You can surf and you can blog
Much easier than falling off a log.
You can upload OBA to your site
Even if it takes all night.

Nowhere in the world today
Is there an e-biz where you pay
Just five bucks to get you started
5 bucks ain't much if you're stout-hearted

Now I'm in here it's so funny
I've discovered it's not about the money
'Cos I do it with love and love what I do
And I hope you come to adore it, too.

The search is over, here you are!
Those 18 steps were not so far
No need to look more at all the rest,
Now We've finally found the best.

How can I find success you ask.
Reading and learning OBA is no easy task.
Step by step is the only way.
Do something OBA every day.

James Phillips

The OBA Business Plan 

Ready to see how this all fits together?

First of all, you need to understand that since you purchased one of our $5 products, you'll have a number of $5 products that you can sell. You'll also be able to spend an additional $12 (if you want to) and have a variety of $17 products to sell.

How much money can you earn selling $5 products?

Not much, but that's OK... and here's why.

Loss-Leader Marketing.

The OBA Business Plan is based on a very common (and extremely successful) real-world marketing method known as "Loss-Leader Marketing".

The OBA Business Plan is based on a very common (and extremely successful) real-world marketing method known as "Loss-Leader Marketing."

If you've ever seen a commercial on television where a grocery store is advertising milk on sale, you've seen Loss-Leader Marketing in action. The grocery store is willing to sell a few products (in this case milk) at very little profit because they know that it will result in more customers... and more profits as those customers buy more products.

The OBA products that you advertise are your "Loss-Leaders". Just like the milk on sale at the grocery store, these products are priced intentionally low in order to bring in more customers for your business.

Those customers will translate into more profits for you. How much more? A LOT MORE!

How To Guarantee Failure In Your OBA Business 

Part 1 of 3

If you insist on failing, let's not waste time!

Don't read.
Don't participate in the OBC.
Look for "a better way".
Focus on making money.

That's all there is to it.
Any one of those will guarantee your failure. Any two of them will accelerate your failure. Any three of them will guarantee that you never even get started! And all four of them will cause you to waste your time and lose more money... again.

Why?

Let's look at them one at a time...

To Guarantee Failure... Don't Read.

Online Business Alliance(OBA) is an Internet-based business and like it or not, the Internet is 99% text. If you don't like to read, get over it. Read. Otherwise you'll never learn what you need to know. It's as simple as that. If you jump out of a boat, you'd better start swimming. If you want to build this business, you'd better start reading. (And don't stop!)

To Guarantee Failure... Don't Participate in the OBC.

Your participation in the OBC (Owner's Business Center) is critical. It's your most important business-building tool. Not only will you find other people who will answer your questions, but you'll also be able to keep pace with new developments in your business, learn about new tools and resources as they become available, and be able to evaluate and make adjustments in your marketing based on the observations of many other people who are building the same business you are. What could possibly be more valuable than that?

OK... there is one thing that could be more valuable than that.

It's the way you're perceived by the Affiliates in your group. When they visit the OBC, will they see you asking questions so you can be better prepared to help them when they need help? Will they see you answering other Affiliates' questions when you can, so they'll feel comfortable asking you their questions? Will they see you as someone who others look up to... a Leader?

Or will they see you as... absent... unconcerned... and uninformed?

Are you willing to try to build your business with a bunch of Affiliates who simply mirror your level of commitment?

No? Then you'd better step up and get serious, because that's exactly what's going to happen. Your Affiliates are going to do exactly what they see you doing... good or bad. That's the way people are.

If they don't see you in the OBC, they'll see that as apathy... and you'll get apathy in return.

How To Guarantee Failure In Your OBA Business 

Part 2

To Guarantee Failure... Don't Participate in the OBC.

Your participation in the OBC (Owner's Business Center) is critical. It's your most important business-building tool. Not only will you find other people who will answer your questions, but you'll also be able to keep pace with new developments in your business, learn about new tools and resources as they become available, and be able to evaluate and make adjustments in your marketing based on the observations of many other people who are building the same business you are. What could possibly be more valuable than that?

OK... there is one thing that could be more valuable than that.

It's the way you're perceived by the Affiliates in your group. When they visit the OBC, will they see you asking questions so you can be better prepared to help them when they need help? Will they see you answering other Affiliates' questions when you can, so they'll feel comfortable asking you their questions? Will they see you as someone who others look up to... a Leader?

Or will they see you as... absent... unconcerned... and uninformed?

Are you willing to try to build your business with a bunch of Affiliates who simply mirror your level of commitment?

No? Then you'd better step up and get serious, because that's exactly what's going to happen. Your Affiliates are going to do exactly what they see you doing... good or bad. That's the way people are.

If they don't see you in the OBC, they'll see that as apathy... and you'll get apathy in return.

If they see you in the OBC, they'll respect you for your Leadership... and you'll have a strong group with Leaders.

Don't believe me? Then answer this question...

Why would I even mention it? What have I got to gain by giving you bad or misleading advice? Believe me, it would be MUCH easier for me to just not mention it.

But it's important so I want you to know about it.

Hey, I didn't invent human behavior... I've just learned to use it to my advantage. You should too.

Do yourself a favor and get in the habit of participating in the OBC.

How To Guarantee Failure In Your OBA Business 

Part 3

To Guarantee Failure... Look for "a Better Way.

Think you have a better way? Determined to try what worked for you in the past?

Before you get started, let me ask you a question...

If it worked for you in the past, why are you starting over again here?

If it worked for you somewhere else, if it helped you succeed before, then why aren't you still involved in that successful business?

Here's why... It's because that business wasn't designed for YOU to succeed. It was designed for the owners to succeed. You felt like you were succeeding... you felt like things were working... but you ended up empty-handed again because that's how the program was designed.

So the "better way" that was working for you wasn't really working for YOU... it was working for THEM!

Do yourself a favor and don't try to apply what failed elsewhere to your OBA business. I want you to succeed. This business is designed for your success. Don't shoot yourself in the foot by bringing old habits into your new business.

----------------------------------------------------
To Guarantee Failure... Focus on Making Money.

When you focus on making money, you can't focus on helping others... and helping others is the only way to make money.

To achieve success, you MUST take your eyes off of your needs and focus on the needs of others.

It's that way in every successful business! The business owner who is best at meeting the wants and needs of his customers is the one who moves ahead the fastest.

It may seem strange at first, but learn to spend 100% of your time and energy helping other people achieve their goals and you cannot fail.

Focus on making money and you cannot succeed.

------------------------------------------------------
OK... so what are you going to do now?

Get into the OBC and read. Ask questions and answer questions. Learn what's working for others and use what you've learned... then teach what you've learned. Find out what your Affiliates need and then find a way to help them get it.

Learn success. Create success. Teach success.

And make sure everyone in your group reads this page!

Words of Wisdom from our WONDERFUL LEADER...DAVE GRAY

P.S. hope you don't mind me quoting you Dave!

19 Ultimate Success Tips for your Online Business 

Here's some important information about this topic of your interest.

1. Your first ultimate start must include written goals and plans.

2. Don't wait for everything to be exactly right to start...THERE WILL NEVER BE A "PERFECT" TIME! Start now, with whatever you have. The things you need will come to you as you work toward your goal.

3. Treat your business as a serious, full-time business, and it will become one.

4. Think of your first six months primarily as a training period. Don't expect large earnings until after you've educated yourself.

5. Be patient. You'll work the hardest your first six months or so and get compensated the least. Big incomes never happen overnight. They only come after you've properly shown your affiliates how to duplicate your efforts.

6. Formulate a plan of weekly activity and be persistent in following it-if you fail to plan you plan to fail. Sticking to your plan is essential for success.

7. Always be ENTHUSIASTIC!!

8. Don't give yourself unrealistic expectations.

9. FOCUS! You cannot become successful in anything when you're trying to do too many things at once.

10. Don't quit. The only way to fail is if you give up.

11. Think BIG! Small desire produces small results, just as small fires produce little heat.

12. Don't complain to your upline leaders. Realize that what you accomplish is mainly in your hands, no one else's. Not only will this approach get you better results, but you'll be building your relationship with your upline instead of tearing it down.

13. Market and promote your business EVERY DAY!

14. Don't let little problems upset you. Concentrate on the many positives...and the "big picture."

15. Don't let changes upset you. Know that you will have to deal with changes and other obstacles, both big and small, continually. Be prepared to be flexible.

16. Don't be a negative thinker and don't let the negative attitudes of others influence you. Think for yourself!

17. Don't be derailed by "perfection paralysis." Do the best job you can, then move on to the next project. Keep learning and keep moving ahead.

18. Read books that will convince you how powerful your mind really is. Develop the tremendous potential in you (that we all have) that has never been tapped!

19. Remember always..."You are what you think you are"

WHY I HAVE FAITH IN OBA 

Why I love OBA

"The hours between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. are ideally suited to browsing stores, dozing in front of the television, and finishing the morning paper.

Daytime hours are also the warmest and sunniest of the day, making them perfect for outdoor activities. Unfortunately, most Americans can't enjoy leisure during this time, for the simple reason that they're 'at work.'"

Taken from a Blog which took it from a newspaper.

The Onion

From everything I've read and experienced, it's unusual for people to be happy because of the work they do. Most people view their job as a necessary evil. They hate the long hours, mind-numbing work, and stressful commute. Millions of people fantasize about winning the lottery so they can quit working.

But when we look at most of the lottery winners, what do we see? In the vast majority of cases we see temporary happiness followed by financial disaster and a rapid return to the economic situation the winners were in before they won.

So if work doesn't provide happiness for most people and winning vast sums of money can't provide lasting happiness, where can we find happiness?

Everything I've seen points to happiness being a by-product of one thing... accomplishment.

I know a number of people who love what they do. They work long hours and they work hard, but they're happy at work because they are accomplishing something that they feel is important.

At the opposite end of the work spectrum, I know a number of successful business people who work one or two days per month. It's not the amount of free time they have that makes them happy... it's the sense of accomplishment that their ongoing business provides.

People are least happy when they can see no accomplishment in their lives.

And people are happiest when they are learning new skills, applying those new skills, and moving forward toward their goals... when they feel they're accomplishing something worthwhile.

Decide where you want to be in five years, elevate that goal to a position of importance in your life, and then spend some time each day learning new skills and working toward accomplishing your goal because it's important to you... and watch as your life fills with happiness.

Where Else But Online Business Alliance 

Team,

As you know, I have made a pledge to do all I can to make Online Business Alliance(OBA) the absolute BEST business opportunity available anywhere in the world, online or off.

And I'm sure you realize that it would be humanly impossible to create something that good on the very first try.

Therefore, you must also realize that for me to achieve that goal will require change.

During Online Business Alliance(OBA) first six months, we've seen many changes. Among other things, we've changed the back office, added the OBA AutoResponder, added the audio series, added the video presentation, released three more product packages, added the OBA Rotator, and eventually I may even get the OBA Tracker working properly. (Wouldn't that be nice! )

Each of these changes has made Online Business Alliance(OBA) better and stronger. I'm pleased and proud of the achievements we've made and the direction we're going.
____________________________________________________
Now I want you to think about another change... an important change.

I'd like your feedback, but at the same time I feel it's important for you to understand that the final decision will be mine to make. Business decisions "by committee" or "by vote" are the shortest route to failure in any business. That's not what this is about.

Online Business Alliance(OBA) needs and deserves strong leadership, and leadership requires me to make decisions and accept responsibility for those decisions and not try to relinquish that responsibility to the results of a vote so I can hide behind a ballot box.

If my decision is sound, we will all benefit. If my decision is flawed, it's the price we pay for working to make OBA the best, and we move on from there.

Where else does the owner/admin ask for your feedback.

Important Questions and Answers About OBA 



Does OBA Really Work?



I get that question occasionally, and I'd like to answer it once and for all.

Yes OBA Really Works!



If you're wondering whether or not OBA works, you're wasting your time.
It's been proven again and again that OBA works exactly as it's designed to work.
In fact, it's being proven again and again every day!
Each and every day, the following things happen again and again...
Someone buys an OBA Product from a website belonging to an OBA Affiliate, and they send 100% of the sale price directly to that OBA Affiliate.
Someone logs in to their newly-created OBA back office to download the product they purchased, and discovers that they actually get MUCH MORE than they thought, including a complete business, many more products, an unlimited supply of each of those products, a complete collection of ready-to-use websites, a state-of-the-art back office, and unlimited 24/7 access to the best training and support facility anywhere.
Someone finds another business waiting for them there. The OBA AdSpace Leasing Program provides every OBA customer with the option to start his or her own Internet Advertising business quickly and easily.

Someone decides to lease an AdSpace.

An OBA Affiliate is paid for the AdSpace that was leased.
Another OBA Affiliate realizes that he or she has finally found what everyone on the Internet promises... a way to create a rock-solid, hands-free passive residual income that will continue and continue to grow for years.

Important Questions and Answers About OBA 

Cont'd

Does that mean OBA is PERFECT, that there are no problems and there will never be any problems?

No, but we are constantly striving to address problems and make OBA even better and stronger.

Does EVERYONE,who sees an advertisement for an OBA product purchase that product?

No, but some do, and that number continues to grow every day.

Does EVERYONE,who purchases an OBA product decide to lease an AdSpace?

No, but some do, and that number continues to grow every day.

Does EVERYONE who becomes an OBA Affiliate succeed?

Can ANYONEsucceed as an OBA Affiliate if they're willing to learn about OBA and put forth the effort to succeed?

Yes!



So the question is not whether or not OBA works. The question is whether or not YOU are willing to learn about OBA, put forth the effort to succeed, and earn YOUR success with OBA.

Firm Believer 

I am a firm believer in what has become a fact on the Internet and business opportunity programs.

The fact is that 95% of opportunity seekers fail, most opportunity seekers try something out for 2 to 3 months and because they're not seeing any success, QUIT and find something else to repeat the same.

The trick of course is to promise less and deliver more, always to exceed expectations.

The idea is to better motivate people and get people to see how easy it is and understand the power of geometric growth.

And keep the investment/risk money as low as possible.

You're an intelligent People, clearly. 

When dealing with the population at large, only about 5% of the people who join an online program actually do anything. Only about 1% experience even a slight degree of success... maybe less.

But surely you realize the reason for such poor performance is the lack of training and support offered by the vast majority of online programs.

The reason 95% of the people who start an Internet business fail is because so many people EXPECT 95% of them to fail... so why bother to help them succeed?

You don't need to look very far to realize that there is actually a dynamic in place that CAUSES failure at a rate far greater than otherwise might be expected.

That leads us to a question.

Without the negative influence created by artificially low expectations, what might be a reasonable success rate among people in an Internet business if they were to receive adequate training and support?

Have you ever heard of Pareto's Principle? It's sometimes referred to as The 80-20 Rule.

It's taught in business school as a way to manage time and resources to maximize return.

Pareto's Principle basically says that 80% of the productivity in any organization can be credited to 20% of the people... the most productive people in the group.

It can also be pointed out that 80% of the world's assets are controlled by 20% of the world's population.

20% of the products in a grocery store account for 80% of their profits.

20% of an insurance company's policyholders account for 80% of the claims.

The 80-20 Rule is a fairly accurate way to estimate human behavior and accomplishment... and has been for centuries.

Would it surprise you to learn that out of 5,709 customers in the OBA database 1,118 of them... 19.6%... have leased AdSpace #1?

When you refer to 5% being good and 6% being great, you're talking about the population at large.

I'm talking about an entirely different group. The people I'm referring to have aleady purchased an ebook. This group is far more targeted than the population at large.

That's why 10-15% is not impossible... unless we approach it as being impossible.

Why not approach your business with at least the same expectations that are applied throughout every level of the largest and most successful businesses in the world?

Why not recognize that... with the proper training and support... a full 20% of your people WILL BE SUCCESSFUL and account for 80% of your total

You're an intelligent People, clearly. 

Right now you're at a 4.5% conversion rate from ebook customer to AdSpace Lease customer.

I'm at 19.6%.

What's the difference?

I sincerely believe that the difference lies in what each of us expects.

You expect between 4% and 5% and that's what you're getting.

I am determined to do all I can to help as many people as I can become successful... and I'm getting about what can be expected when dealing with a group of people in business.

So you see, by expecting between 4% and 5%, you run the risk of creating a self-fulfilling prophesy of sub-standard performance and failure.

Why not approach each and every one of your customers as if that person is destined to be your best performer, your best friend, and a lifelong business partner?

If you can do that, and work with each and every one of your customers from that perspective, you will sail past my miserable performance and succeed beyond your wildest expectations.

After all, I'm quite possibly the worst sponsor in my entire group! I spend practically all my time programming and dealing with "admin" issues.

You could do MUCH better.

It can't get much better than that... can it? 

Oh yes it can!

We've just barely scratched the surface!

There is so much more waiting for you as an OnlineBusinessAlliance affiliate, it'll take you days just to let it all sink in!

If you're a "Bottom Line" kind of person, here's the Bottom Line...

You have found the best business available anywhere... online or off... that you can start for just $5. You'll have all the help you need, and you'll be able to make as much money as you want... IF you're the kind of person who understands that success requires effort... and you're willing to put forth the effort to succeed.

The $5 price tag isn't going to last long So get while the price is low....

Wannabes-- verses-- Entrepreneurs 

Which one of these do you long to be?

Twelve differences between those who dream and those who act:

1-Wanna-be's obsess about ideas. Entrepreneurs obsess about implementation.

2-Wanna-be's want more web traffic. Entrepreneurs focus on sales conversion.

3-Wanna-be's focus on positive thinking. Entrepreneurs plan for multiple contingencies.

4-Wanna-be's want to get noticed. Entrepreneurs build their list.

5-Wanna-be's seek a perfect plan. Entrepreneurs execute and adjust the plan later.

6-Wanna-be's wait for their lucky break. Entrepreneurs engineer four, five, six plans and execute them in tandem, wagering that at least one plan will get traction.

7-Wanna-be's fear looking stupid in front of their friends. Entrepreneurs willingly risk making fools of themselves, knowing that long-term success is a good trade for short-term loss of dignity.

8-Wanna-be's shield their precious ideas from harsh reality, postponing the verdict of success or failure until 'someday.' Entrepreneurs expose their ideas to cold reality as soon as reasonably possible.

9-Wanna-be's put off practicing basketball until they've got Air Jordans. Entrepreneurs practice barefoot behind the garage.

10-Wanna-be's believe what they're told, believe their own assumptions. Entrepreneurs do original research and determine what paths have been already trod.

11-Wanna-be's believe they can do anything. Entrepreneurs do what they're gifted for and delegate the rest.

12-Wanna-be's think about the world in terms of COULD and SHOULD. Entrepreneurs think in terms of IS and CAN BE.

Our long-term goal 

Our long-term goal (at least my goal anyway) is to eliminate the need for anyone to have to figure out how to advertise.

After all, if one of my pipes is leaking, I don't need to figure out how to fix it... I simply call a plumber. He fixes the pipe because he knows how and I pay him for the materials he uses plus his time, effort, and knowledge.

Imagine where we'd all be if every time a pipe sprung a leak, we had to login to a website and learn how to be a plumber. Or every time our car needed repair we had to download a car repair manual. Or when one of our children had a toothache we had to find a video and learn dentistry.

That's not the way society works, is it? Throughout centuries of human interaction, specialization has replaced generalization because specialization is more effective and more efficient. We all find a way to earn money so that we can hire specialists to do the things we can't do.

But for some reason we think the Internet should work differently. Everyone is expected to become an expert at advertising. It flies in the face of everything the human species has learned since time began. If we all had to fix our own cars, we'd still be riding horses.

There's WAY too much information in the back office, but just look at how much of it deals with advertising. And look at how much of the ASC deals with advertising. And look at how much time everyone spends on advertising. And look at how many people become frustrated and quit because they never get good at advertising.

Our long-term goal 

Today I opened an email from a new Affiliate and here's what it said.

Quote:
Where do I locate the urls I am allowed to use to promote for
my OBA Websites?

Should I use the ones I have hosted in my freehostia account?

Can you tell me where to find some effective email lists?

What other forms of marketing would you recommend?

This is a daily occurrence for me, and probably for some of you also.

I sincerely want this person to succeed, but he's got a lot to learn about advertising, doesn't he? (There are so many kinds of "email lists" and so many of them are dangerous... where do I begin?)

From OUR Admin/Owner 

Team,

As you know, I have made a pledge to do all I can to make OBA the absolute BEST business opportunity available anywhere in the world, online or off.

And I'm sure you realize that it would be humanly impossible to create something that good on the very first try.

Therefore, you must also realize that for me to achieve that goal will require change.

During OBA's first six months, we've seen many changes. Among other things, we've changed the back office, added the OBA AutoResponder, added the audio series, added the video presentation, released three more product packages, added the OBA Rotator, and eventually I may even get the OBA Tracker working properly. (Wouldn't that be nice! )

Each of these changes has made OBA better and stronger. I'm pleased and proud of the achievements we've made and the direction we're going.

Wonder why I am so totally impressed with this program

Team,

As you know, I have made a pledge to do all I can to make OBA the absolute BEST business opportunity available anywhere in the world, online or off.

And I'm sure you realize that it would be humanly impossible to create something that good on the very first try.

Hence there will be an increase coming up shortly for the price of the Digital Products

John Chow has a PR6 Now that is terrific. Here is the link the his page
Make Money Online/Review My Blog

I think this a great concept and have joined him He does awesome at keeping his ranking up there John is also worthy of the linkback

John's blog is about helping his fellow blogger make money online. I have found the site to be very informative, but there's something more to it. It's inspirational.

Another reason to read his blog is to gain ideas on how to be a better blogger and have a good blog. One of the key elements I'd like to learn from John is how to always give something back to the readers.

Hmmm What to call this one 

I do know we have worked so hard on our lenses/blogs and webpages

In accordance with that are we getting enough viewings, or people stopping by?

Have you ever wondered if anyone actually sees the amount of work and effort we have put into them.

Is it important? Have we figured out the best way to advertise? Is It all trial and error?

Are we pinging our lenses evertime we update? Should we? Should we find more ways to submit our sites?

Hmmm.... Like I said not sure what to call this LOL

RECIPE FOR SUCCESS 

Love what you're doing.
Believe in your product.
Select good people.
-Debbi Fields

People who have given up are ruled by their darkest mistakes, worst
failures, and deepest regrets. If you want to be successful, then
be governed by your finest thoughts, your highest enthusiasm, your
greatest optimism, and your most triumphant experiences.
-John Maxwell

It's easier to settle for average than strive for achievement.

It's easier to be saturated with complacency than stirred with
compassion.

It's easier to be skeptical than successful.

It's easier to question than conquer.

It's easier to rationalize your disappointments than realize your
dreams.

It's easier to belch the baloney than bring home the bacon.

Still Being Sucked IN 

Are you still Being Sucked in by Programs that don't deliver what they promise?


Why is That?
Are you still searching for those GET-Rich-Quick Schemes that you know don't work

Why is That?

Still investing in HYIP's (King of the Rip-Offs!)

Why is That?

Or the "Get-Three-Who-Get-Three"

Why is That?

Is it worth five bucks to you to save hundreds or even thousands of dollars and months or even years of your life... avoiding the crooks and scammers as you try to make money on the Internet?

Is it worth five bucks to be able to KNOW what they're up to BEFORE they get their hooks in you?

Is it worth five bucks to learn in ONE DAY what the average person will spend YEARS and THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS to uncover?

Decide if you're going to demand success by DOING what's required to succeed... or if you're going to hand your future to total strangers and be satisfied with what they allow you to be and allow you to have.

Decide if you want to be the one to take full advantage of the incredible opportunity before you and forever alter the course of your family's destiny... or simply ignore the fact that you're blessed to be living at the most amazing time in history and let someone else take your place among the great achievers of our time. Make your decision. Decide.

About wenfri

My name is Wendy Friedrich I hail from Northern Ontario Canada. Where in the summer we have black flies and in winter snow flies.


I am just your average Joe Ok Ok .... So I am feminine Guess that makes me a Joe-ette LOL Once you get to know me a little better you will soon see that average Joe suits me much more aptly.


The reason I began an intensive scouring of the internet was because I knew I was going to lose my business. Not through my doing. At any rate that is an entirely which only very few know about. I just knew I had to start making money. Like everyone else I thought it could be done with only a bit of time and effort. Boy was I ever led down the garden path


In all seriousness we have all spent time online searching, looking, losing and losing some more. I was so fed up and frustrated with being online On the verge of giving up I was. Ticked off by all the rip off artists, scams and BS that was always is still readily available for everyone.


What happened to change my way thinking was a kind hearted person named Dave Gray. Now it did NOT happen over nite. To say the least it took about 3 weeks I noticed this program, book marked so I could get back and read it at my leisure. Where it sat for awhile Then I began to clean and reorganize the mess I had on my puter. Saved it again. Finally one day I read through it All of it. Again and again I read it.


This is the only program that every made sense. I couldn't believe my luck and although the original program is gone by the way side Dave Gray is still a true friend, partner and very important team player. Want to read about our founder Go here http://www.onlinebusinessalliance.com/me.html


Dave has been the turning point for me and the way I look at my future. I have never given up and shan't Simply cause Dave has answered my prayers.


With his words of wisdom, intuition about things to come and the way he treats others means so much to me. I am determined, set my mind and determined my goals. From this day forward OBA (Online Business Alliance) will be the only program for me


Team work is what I love about OBA Quoted from John Mayer on OBA


"We don't chase, we help! We can't solve the worlds problems, especially if we don't know what they are! Teamwork works 2 ways, not one way, and anyone that has this issue will make it known, and we can solve it, but not everything will be "perfect", however, we can, together, fix things, and make it right. "


Getting rich has never been my intention (Ok so mayhap I am stretching the truth a little here) I am working hard to get so I can do here OBA Jamaican Resort Get-Together.... Still in the back of my mind but keeps my goals to the fore front


As for advice and getting everything YOU need to SUCCEED. The only way to do that is log into the forum often. Ask that what you don't understand, check your back office and for heaven's sake stay in touch with us. Updates and changes are coming frequently now so we need to stay on top of them
