Life Above and Beyond The Salary Cap
Periodic notes and videos about the pursuit of life above and beyond the world of a salary cap. Because this is a pursuit and I do not know it all, I learn from the teachings of those with God-given wisdom, leading entrepreneurs, and business leaders. I am a student that is seeking knowledge from mistakes and successes.

Choosing the Unknown and Succeeding
Fear and lack of decision making can totally stop your flow of progression to meet your goals and aspirations. With every problem there has to be a solution, right? That's what I've heard from many mentors. Whether you're talking financial, personal, or in business every problem has to have a solution. One of the awful things that we run into with the solution is the unknown of whether it will work or not. The fear of the unknown is what keeps us stuck. It is time to bust a move if we're ever going to attain our goals and aspirations.
The Good Book tells a story of 4 lepers who were about to die because of famine in the land. From the onset, these four individuals had the strike of leprosy against them. This inferiority complex can keep us away from dreams and visions set before us. The lack of self-esteem can make one feel that they are not worthy of the goal or accomplishment. Yet these four lepers had a decision to make. One, they could stay in the position that they were in and DIE. Secondly, they could go into the city and die because of the famine going on in the land. Finally, they could go into a hard and difficult place, the unknown, the enemy's camp. Surely, one of two things would happen in the camp of the enemy. They would find food and comfort or they would be killed.
What decision would you make? The options are stay where you're at and die, go to the familiar and die, or go to the unknown and either live or die. The unknown gives you greatest opportunity at success. The unknown is not so bad. For these lepers, the unknown worked out great. They went into the camp of the enemy that turned out to be abandoned with the food and spoils left in the camp.
It's obvious that if we do nothing then nothing will change. We stand the chance of dying emotionally and spiritually. Where are you now? At the end of your rope? Confused and in a state of lack? Don't be afraid to take the route that gives you the greatest opportunity for success. One of two things can happen. You'll either succeed or you will fail. Can failing one more time be any worse than it is right now? What if you succeed? Will that be the bump that takes you and yours to the next level. You'll never know if you stay in the same position that you've always stayed in.

As I type this post, I sense a lot to say but I cannot put the words together. Ahh, now they begin to flow. The Thanksgiving holiday was enjoyable. It was actually even more enjoyable when my two year old niece accidentally launched my trusted blackberry to its fatal demise . I should have never asked her to bring it to me. I reaped the fruit of my laziness, but it was a good way to get disconnected. I was just happy to confirm that I selected the insurance.
I enjoyed the fam on Thursday, but went into hermit mode the rest of the weekend and enjoyed every minute of it....even the disconnection time. I did read a book, "Choices" by Og Mandino. Based on the decision that I made to quit my sales job with CDC News last week, it was a timely read. I must admit that my decision to leave was not based on a highly spiritual conscientious choice. However, for me, it was the right choice to focus on more important matters for me and mine.
Life is Good! Our lot in life is better than most. When i finish this post and leave this house, every opportunity is set before me. We merely need to take that daunting first step and seize hold to the moment.

All About GVO
1) Product focused...
Tite: Is GVO The Ultimate Marketers Toolbox?
When marketing on the internet, sometimes you feel like your head is going to explode! The amount of tools, systems, and services out there will make your head spin which make promises of easy riches when you use them.
Every day, there seems to be another "magic tool" that pops up promising millions of visitors to your site and large sums of money in your bank account....effortlessly.
It can get overwhelming and take focus away from what you should be doing to build your business.
As you know, there are tools out there that not only make your life easier, but keep your business running on auto-pilot for you.
The trick is to know which ones to focus on and which ones to stay away from!
Let's go through the essentials which every top internet marketer depends on a daily basis to run their million dollar businesses...
1) Web Hosting
Obviously, without hosting, the internet would be a pretty boring place to hang out. If you have a domain name, you need a place to host it so others can find you.
Hosting companies out there range from free all the way to over $500 a month for dedicated hosting.
The key is to find a company that provides 99% uptime and also provides 24/7 support in case you ever have a problem.
And of course, just like anything, you get what you pay for.
2) Auto-Responders
Have you heard the phrase, "The Money Is In The List?"
Well, having an autoresponder and building a list that knows, likes, and trusts you is the fastest way to literally pushing a button and having money coming in your bank account... faster than you can say... Hot Biscuits!
The formula is simple.
Create a page that gives something of huge value totally away for free. This could be a free report, a video lesson, an audio interview, or a live webinar.
Then, in exchange for your free information, the visitor will give you their name and email address.
And then the magic happens. You can follow up with them automatically and offer more value and even get them to buy something!
This is all done using an auto-repsonder, all automatically and efficiently for you.
Again, companies providing auto-responders range from $20 a month up to $99 a month.
3) Video Hosting
The internet is all about video. And without some type of video on your website, most people will simply not hang around.
Video allows you to bond with your visitor and create more trust than with just words on your site.
We've all heard of YouTube for sure. But is a free service that is known for pranks, jokes, and music videos the right image for your business?
There's a reason the top marketers host their videos through paid services and you should to.
4) Website Builder and Prospecting System
99% of internet marketers don't have the time and/or the skills to create their own websites or prospecting pages. Trying to learn website design and html code is not the best way to spend your time.
That's where website builders come in. You simply customize your pages with your own video, product info, auto-responder, and you're done!
5) Live Webcasts
The most powerful way to sell is face to face. You get instant feedback and customers can ask questions and get their answers immediately.
Since we don't want to meet all our visitors in person... Webcasts are the next best thing.
We can sit in the comfort of our own homes and present to people all over the world. Product demonstrations, video overviews, live questions and answers, it's all possible with Webcasts.
If you're not using Webcasts in your business, you are missing out on thousands of dollars of sales.
Typical companies charge between $49 to $99 a month and more.
The Top 5 Essential Tools
These are the top five tools that every top marketer uses and depends on a daily basis to make sales on auto-pilot.
And you can too.
Now, you can get all these great tools from different companies and pay between $150 to over $350 each and every month.
Or, you can make the smart decision and get them all from one company and save a huge amount of money.
GVO offers all these tools under one roof and for only $1.45 a day. That's less than a Starbucks coffee!
And the best part is, for a limited time, you can take advantage of all these amazing tools and profit with them for a full 14 days for only a $1.
Don't decide now, use all the tools and see how powerful they are and how they will help explode your business online right now.
