Making 2009 your best ever year?
Internet marketing opportunity to kick-start 2009
Hi folks and a very Happy New Year to you from Vinden Grace & Eve Grace-Kelly!
In these challenging times and with internet marketing technology getting better and more affordable,it’s fascinating to learn of an opportunity that enables us to increase our revenues, while utilising thetools we need for our business anyway….
I must admit that I’m always cautious of so-called ‘next big things’, but this does seem worth a look at least.
I’d recommend that you:
- Check out both links below.
- Listen to the video messages and grab a pre-launch position today. (It launches tomorrow!)
- Then share this with all your contacts.
There seem to be some very serious players involved in this.
(A guy who ran a company with Tony Robbins, plus Implix, the company behind ‘GetResponse’ autoresponders, etc, so they seem to have an interesting track record.
NB. As always though, please do your own research….)
This program is closing pre-launch in around *30* hours…
If you have already secured your position, congratulations.
If you haven’t, I urge you to do so now:

When an opportunity like this launches, those who get in at the
beginning can make very nice returns…
(You can also go here to get more info:

So I’d recommend that you do not put this off because there’s very little time left.
So, what do you need to do?:
1. Secure your early position now:
http://dunedin.webprosperity.com/
2. Promote your own link if you can.
3. *Upgrade* on Tuesday, Jan 6th 2008
Once you do so, you’ll potentially be able to watch as your income grows for the rest of the year…
This appears to be very promising….

Let’s make 2009 our best year ever 
Get ready for Tuesday, January 6th!

New Year’s Resolutions: learning to move toward our goals and desires one step at a time.
For those of you struggling to kick-start a project or get started with any goal, read on!
This was sent to me on New Year’s Day by the delightful Project Manager for our superb membership site software.
Thanks Nam Tran!
As Life / Personal Coaches, this really appealed to me and to my lovely wife, Eve Grace-Kelly. For those of you struggling to kick-start a project or get started with any goal, read on!
A story for the rest of your life
Several times my daughter had telephoned to say,
“Mother, you must come to see the daffodils before they are over.”
I wanted to go, but it was a two-hour drive from Laguna to Lake Arrowhead
“I will come next Tuesday”,
I promised a little reluctantly on her third call.
Next Tuesday dawned cold and rainy.
Still, I had promised, and reluctantly I drove there.
When I finally walked into my daughter Carolyn’s
house I was welcomed by the joyful sounds of happy children.
I delightedly hugged and greeted my grandchildren.
I told my daughter, “Forget the daffodils, Carolyn!
The road is invisible in these clouds and fog, and
there is nothing in the world except you and my grandchildren
that I want to see right now. I don’t want to drive another inch!”
My daughter smiled calmly and said,
“We drive in this weather all the time, mother.”
“Well, you won’t get me back on the road until it clears,
and then I’m heading for home!” I assured her.
“But first we’re going to see the daffodils.
It’s just a few blocks,” Carolyn said. “I’ll drive. I’m used to this.”
“Carolyn,” I said sternly,
“It’s all right, Mother, I promise.
You will never forgive yourself if you miss this experience.”
So we went!
After about twenty minutes, we turned onto a small gravel road
and I saw a small church. On the far side of the church,
I saw a hand lettered sign with an arrow that read,
“Daffodil Garden —->”
We got out of the car, each of us took a child’s hand,
and I followed Carolyn down the path.
Then, as we turned a corner, I looked up and gasped.
Before me lay the most glorious sight.
It looked as though someone had taken
a great vat of gold and poured it over the mountain peak
and its surrounding slopes.
The flowers were planted in majestic,
swirling patterns, great ribbons
and swaths of deep orange,
creamy white, lemon yellow, salmon pink,
and saffron and butter yellow.
Each different-colored variety was planted
in large groups so that it swirled
and flowed like its own river with its own unique hue.
There were five acres of flowers!
“Who did this?” I asked Carolyn.
“Just one woman,” Carolyn answered.
“She lives on the property. That’s her home.”
Carolyn pointed to a well-kept A-frame house,
small and modestly sitting in the midst of all that glory.
We walked up to the house.
On the patio, we saw a poster.
“Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking”
was the headline.
The first answer was a simple one. “50,000 bulbs,” it read.
The second answer was, “One at a time, by one woman. Two hands, two
feet, and one brain.”
The third answer was, “Began in 1958.”
For me, that moment was a life-changing experience.
I thought of this woman whom I had never met,
who, more than forty years before, had begun,
one bulb at a time, to bring her vision
of beauty and joy to an obscure mountaintop.
Planting one bulb at a time, year after year,
this unknown woman had forever changed
the world in which she lived.
One day at a time, she had created something
of extraordinary magnificence, beauty, and inspiration.
The principle her daffodil garden taught me
is one of the greatest principles of celebration.
That is, learning to move toward our goals and desires one step at a time.
“It makes me sad in a way,” I admitted to Carolyn.
“What might I have accomplished
if I had thought of a wonderful goal thirty-five
or forty years ago and had worked away at it
‘one bulb at a time’ through all those years?
Just think what I might have been able to achieve!”
My daughter summed up the message of the day
in her usual direct way.
“Start tomorrow,” she said.
She was right.
It’s so pointless to think of the lost hours of yesterdays.
The way to make learning a lesson of celebration
instead of a cause for regret is to only ask,
“How can I put this to use today?”
The Daffodil Principle.
Stop waiting…..
Until your car or home is paid off
Until you get a new car or home
Until your kids leave the house
Until you go back to school
Until you finish school
Until you clean the house
Until you organize the garage
Until you clean off your desk
Until you lose 10 lbs.
Until you gain 10 lbs.
Until you get married
Until you get a divorce
Until you have kids
Until the kids go to school
Until you retire
Until summer
Until spring
Until winter
Until fall
Until you die…
There is no better time than right now to be happy.
Happiness is a journey, not a destination.
So work like you don’t need money.
Love like you’ve never been hurt,
and, Dance like no one’s watching.
Wishing you a beautiful, daffodil day!
Don’t be afraid that your life will end,
be afraid that it will never begin.
A very Happy New Year to all of our readers!

World Internet Summit: Worth Going? Internet Business Specialist reveals…
Is it worth attending the World Internet Summit?
Short answer: absolutely!
Longer answer…
Well, 4 days is very intensive, but really enjoyable.
It’s fascinating to see how different speakers perform, what their chosen niche is, whether they do a short sales pitch at the end and deliver loads of content, or a short amount of content and loads of pitching!
Thankfully, the World Internet Summit in London during September was up to its usual very high standard.
Some of the added bonuses (there are lots!) of going to this type of event are:
- Networking. I met several potentially very strong Joint Venture (JV) partners.
We had some really good discussions and are working on a project as we speak! - Time to reflect. It’s so useful to take time out of your business, listen to other internet business specialists who have different backgrounds and a different take on online business, and then see where their ideas can be applied to your business.
Brett McFall (one of the co-founders of the World Internet Summit) gave a useful run-down of the A to Z of the Internet. Co-incidentally, his offering of a coaching programme was very similar to the one we will be launching in a few months!
Tim Brocklehurst talked about the power of viral marketing and very smoothly ploughed on despite his laptop crashing! Very professionally handled Tim 
Ray Edwards gave an excellent talk on copywriting, including a neat formula.
He’s well worth listening to as he writes for some really big names like Mark Victor Hansen, Brad Callen and Willie Crawford.
Sean Roach was as entertaining as ever with his talk about his take on web 3.0, his platform for social media.
Armand Morin had some interesting insights into the future of magazine publishing in the ‘real world’! He sees little future for them, believing they’ll all go fully online in time. Food for thought…
Debra Thompson Roedl walked us through how to create a million-dollar information marketing business, e.g. utilising the same product in several different ways.
I missed the last day unfortunately as my mother-in-law passed away suddenly, so we had to drive down to Devon from London…
I have a Resale Rights license for the World Internet Summit DVDs (actually, the previous event a few months ago in Australia).
I also have a Master Rights license to them, enabling me to sell the Resale Rights!
I’ll post a URL here in due course when I’ve got the details sorted.
Great content and a great business opportunity!
Watch this space for more details coming soon.
Best wishes,
Vinden Grace
Internet Marketing Conferences Or Seminars-Worth The Effort?
As I’m getting ready to travel from Brussels to the UK World Internet Summit in London, it passes through my mind that: “These events are exhausting, expensive in terms of travel and hotel costs, (and sometimes the tickets cost an awful lot: we know, having paid $11,000+ on occasions for mentoring weekends!), plus you have all the back-log of emails and post to deal with on your return. Is it worth all the effort?!”
In truth, we’ve always found that, yes, they are really valuable events to attend.
- You get to see the top Internet marketing folks (aka the Gurus!) talking about what’s hot in their particular niche of search engine optimisation (SEO), affiliate marketing, joint ventures, copy-writing, etc., what their latest tips are, how they managed their product launches, etc.
- It’s even possible to get to chat to them at the event. (I’ve found that they’re surprising approachable!)
- It focuses your attention on learning more about the huge puzzle that can be the online business world, rather than getting distracted by tons of emails and just…doing. As Business Coaches, we advise that it’s sometimes really useful to get away from the office and take more of a helicopter or strategic view of your business.
- You get some great networking done! We’ve met some really nice people and business partners over the years of attending these Internet marketing events.
We do realise that not everyone can afford to go to these events, or perhaps doesn’t live in a place that visited by these types of events (I’ve yet to see one in Brussels – hmmm, there’s a thought!), so the new high-end membership site that we’re launching this year will help a lot of those people.
- They’ll get access to the Gurus at closed-door seminars, but in the comfort of their homes, at a fraction of the price they’d have to pay to attend them!
- They’ll get the benefits of the really valuable networking that goes on when like-minded people congregate, but 24/7 via the members-only forum and other aspects that we’ll reveal nearer the time….
- Loads of other benefits that we, as both Coaches and Internet Business Specialists, can see a huge need for, both by beginners and intermediate level internet business owners, to gain teh success they desire.
