Property / Real-Estate Book & Home-Study Course Of Selling Tips: Coming Soon!
I’ve reached 22,000 words so far on my new book, but am taking an afternoon off to catch up on admin and marketing.
A full-blown home-study course will follow too.
I’m finding it slow-going today, although I’ve written a number of books before, mainly in the personal development arena, such as:
* Top Tips for A Successful Life
* Focus: A Tool For Greater Productivity
* Procrastination: Learn To Overcome It.
With over 30 years of experience, a property portfolio, real-world auction-buying, plus having lived through renovation of our Victorian country house, I have accumulated quite a bit of knowledge! So, my latest book venture is in real-estate / property.
I’ll also be offering you guidance from some of the top people in property, such as agents / Realtors ®, builders, surveyors, developers, etc. More about the real-estate / property book’s contents will be revealed soon, let’s just say that it will help you to sell your home, as it contains crucial advice in this difficult world-wide market to achieve a better price and a quicker sale for your property, so subscribe to stay in touch with developments!

The Importance of Researching Salesletters Before Buying
Well, there have been lots of comments on Facebook, on blogs and in forums about a recent launch on ClickBank where other experienced Internet marketers have been horrified and annoyed at the sales pitch put forward for apparently being unbelievable, over-hyped and thereby damaging our (Internet marketing) industry.
Some of my Marketers’ cruise friends on Facebook, such as Cindy Battye and Soren Jordansen have been fairly scathing.
Omar Martin’s blog has an interesting review of the sales letter (not the product).
The old Latin adage Caveat Emptor (‘Buyer Beware’) is still true on-line folks, so DYOR (do your own research!) before buying.
It doesn’t even matter if the product is not that expensive: don’t waste your time – that can never be replaced.
Another saying to bear in mind when sales letters are pitching hard for your money: if it sounds too good to be true,then it probably is!
These aren’t new sayings, but they’re still true whether you are buying in a shop, a market or online.
You’ve been warned 
Safe shopping!
Caribbean Cruising Again With 400+ Entrepreneurs, Internet Marketers And Mentors
A New Year, Another Caribbean Cruise And Another Joint Venture For Vinden Grace And Eve Grace-Kelly Of Dunedin Consultants And QCC Group!
We took our first ever cruise last year when we sailed to Mexico, Honduras and Belize on board a brand new ship, the Carnival Dream. We joined around 400 other top marketers, entrepreneurs for their 2nd annual cruise with Mike Filsaime, Captain Lou and Donna Fox.
This year, after 3 weeks chilling out in sunny Florida, we boarded the Carnival Miracle in Fort Lauderdale, a smaller ship, with easier networking possibilities. We visited the Dominican Republic, Turks and Caicos Islands, Curacao and Aruba.
It was so nice to see old friends, Joint Venture (JV) partners and meet new friends and potential JV partners. We didn’t try to cram everything in like we did last time, as we’re now marketers’ cruise veterans One of our New Year’s resolutions for 2011 is definitely work-life balance!
Last year, we set up a JV on the first night! This year, it took as long as the second night to get one 
Looks to be a potentially fantastically rewarding one!
We also found some possible affiliate partners for a health-related project we’re working on – 2 doctors no less! You meet all sorts on these Marketers’ cruises….
Watch this space for details of our projects!
Eve is now off to Albania for a week’s coaching and consulting followed by more of the same in Luxembourg for a week.
Pleasant but the Caribbean it isn’t!

The Launch Of Our Latest Coaching And Mentoring Book On Amazon: ‘Ultimate Life Lessons’
Our Book, ‘Ultimate Life Lessons‘, Launches on Amazon
It now seems a long time ago that we started this Joint Venture (JV) with one of our former mentors, Amazon best-selling author Tracy Repchuk.
We established this JV on the first night of our maiden cruise with Mike Filsaime and over 400 other top entrepreneurs, Internet Marketers, coaches, and mentors, travelling around the Caribbean on a brand new cruise ship.
Marketers’ Cruise-Donna Fox, Lou Edwards, Vinden Grace, Mike Filsaime, Tom Beal-January 2010
The concept of the JV is that of:
- people sharing key wisdom that they have acquired during their lives,
- so creating a multi-authored book of ‘life lessons’ for people to learn from,
- carry out exercises we provide and so embed the learning and hence change their lives for the better.
The process to create the book is:
- we find experts in their fields;
- make contact with them;
- introduce the concept of the life lessons book;
- show them samples of what life lessons we are contributing as coaches, entrepreneurs and mentors;
- agree that they will definitely contribute and then set a deadline for their contribution(s);
- progress chase them for the contributions;
- create the book in an order that makes sense for the readers;
- send the copy to the authors for proof-reading;
- proof-read the whole book again for errors;
- then send the book out to authority figures to ask what they think of it, i.e. will they give us a testimonial if they like the book;
- finally, publish the book on Amazon and get it into shops world-wide.
Sounds relatively straightforward, right, especially as we’re very experienced Project Managers? Not so! Successful people are very busy people and quite rightly.
Getting in touch with them is a challenge and another hurdle is then persuading them to find time in their hectic schedules for your project over all of their other projects and those that other people are submitting to them for JVs, but happily, our super co-authors loved the concept of our life lessons book, so they responded very well. Nonetheless, the whole project took 8 months versus our initial estimate of 4 months, but then this is our first time of putting together a multi-authored book, and there are over 30 distinguished co-authors in our book!
We’ve been truly humbled and honored by the fantastic quality, success and helpfulness of the great co-authors we’ve assembled.
There are lots of superb life lessons that they’ve passed on and from which we can all learn.
The coaching / mentoring / personal development exercises will really help to embed the learning from those lessons and assist people to alter their lives to get the fantastic results they desire to see.
Our book launches today December 14th 2010! Here’s to success, fulfilment and happiness for all our readers!
