One thing I know for sure about Steve Manning...he overdelivers.
This morning I was more than a little worried about paying the asking price for his Write A Book Now course...so, I made a phone call. We had already discussed concerns that the first copy of the course had not arrived on time (who knows what snafu with the delivery service...) so this was perhaps my fourth phone call...every one of which reached him immediately and personally.
Apparently Steve had shipped at least two copies already...only one ever arrived. Partly because only the spam-bots seem to be finding me so far, I am still on my fixed income, as I have discussed for a year and more now...but the instant I raised that concern, my debt was completely forgiven.
(Now if only I can trust that his *payment processor* company believes the same way we do...:-) )
Now, a money-minded man might have worried about the loss of a few hundred dollars in revenue...but Steve knows differently. He knows that "losing" this sale is going to make him a friend for life, and cross-generate an absurdly high number of "free" publicity plugs for him and his business in the forseeable future, because when *I* am rich and famous, word will get around...and even before then, as much as I can.
Steve knows what I mean when I say that the very popular TV show, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, is quite simply nothing more than a glorified Sears infomercial, and that there is absolutely nothing wrong with that...because in the end, aggressive publicity MAKES his business, and it IS his business.
Why did it work out this way?
Because his passion really is about turning as many people into successful writers as possible.
I'm not saying he would do the same thing for *anybody*...after all, it wasn't something I was expecting...I am saying that he knows how to deliver what he has promised, and then some.

Result:Another Director?
Please Join me now!!!
Does Scott Edwards deserve a wolfpack Elite directorate?
I think so...and the key difference between him and a lot of these other blog spammers, is the focus of his comments on *people* and providing them with success, more than on direct profits.
Scott, if there is anything I can do to help you or your business, please just drop me another line, OK?

Doing What You Love, Loving What You Do
This last weekend I discovered a new Delphi Forum where I am at work helping to develop a new online, table-top and LARP RPG system. Today I also went back to TrafficSoldiers and picked up some more exchange credits.
Meanwhile, I also have three or four new book blueprints in development thanks to the
Steve Manning system.
Just as I was surfing away, listening to my Mom's first Jazz piano CD, I also got some good news from her...even Social Security may want to give me more money now because of changes in my parent's work history.
My roommate and I are also being evaluated for personal mobility scooters soon.
If we qualify, it will become much easier to roam about town and look for cashflow notes.
Sharon's tip about Vortex is really turning out to be a hot one, and the news from Bryan is excellent too, since they are also in beta tests of a new internet marketing portal system.
Is anybody beginning to notice a pattern here?
A domino effect, maybe?
That's right...all six of these potential income streams are running in my favor at once, in different stages of development. My *patience* is paying off in a big way. Now, here is the amazing thing...NONE of these actually depend on "knowing what I'm doing."
Why? Because by setting up the blog/book project, I have also staked out a legitimate piece of my own intellectual property...and it will continue towork for me, over and over again, no matter how much more work is involved in reaching the final goal of the project.
It would work for me even if the names I just used had all changed to fit other businesses or other experts. Remember: The First REAL SECRET is that there ARE NO SECRETS.
The True Currency trades are still effective for me, because....
I am doing what I love. I am loving what I do. Not the part about sitting at the computer all day long....the writing, the organizing, the teaching. The possibility of getting paid for what I would do anyway, even if I were not getting paid for it.
There are people who were in business when I began this project, who are not in business any more. I now sort through literally hundreds of new contacts every day, looking for quality deals that won't conflict with each other. There are some very well known providers of "money secrets" all over the place who have literally forgotten that they know my name yet, because the first time we met, I may not have been able to close the money trades that they wanted.
Ladies and gentlemen, do you know what I am finding out about price points for some of this information? When I look hard enough, the same basic information can often be had for $30, as can be had for $300! When you look through enough different sales pitches, they all begin to look the same!
And every single one claims to have the "unbeatable, indisputible, unrepeatable" TOP position in their market through a "magic, secret, amazing new technology" that no one else has!
Why? How can they expect you to believe that, if everybody in the marketplace, for literally every product, in every niche, every single day, is saying the SAME thing about THEIR new
"Ultimate Super People-Finding Widget" that "literally sells itself?"
Because...when you buy someone's intellectual property, what you have been SOLD on, is a certain set of positive assumptions about the integrity of that person or their product. In other words, people will ALWAYS buy based on REPUTATION.
And...people will always think THEMSELVES into the sale, if only YOU can learn how to stay out of their way!

Steve Manning's Course Arrives
I am excited...Steve Manning's master course just got here. More than that...it CAN deliever exactly what was promised. So...the countdown has begun! Within about two weeks, I should have my first blueprint developed, perhaps even less.
I have also learned more than a few lessons about the pricing of intellectual property... but then that is another subject altogether.

The Blog Spam Invasion
Lately I am being spammed by a lot of people who are not attatched to the Project at all and don't want to be...as a result of this I can no longer offer Directorates without some better indications that I am at very least talking to a living human being rather than a Bot.
I am still waiting for the arrival of the Write A Book Now! course...and there are still wonderful things happening with Vortex.

Can I CREATE Cashflow Paper?
I was reviewing my course on cashflow note trades the other day (sorry I can't mention the name here as I am not a formally registered affiliate, just a student of the program) and something occurred to me...if a cashflow note is simply a binding IOU, wouldn't it be possible to CREATE some cashflow paper AROUND the investment deal I want to transact?
To test the Due Dilligence aspects, I recently filed a post in the Paper Assets thread of the Richdad community forums. What I want to do is to create a legally tight, saleable cashflow note or notes, with attractive enough terms to interest the original buyers, for which I can then use the resulting cash-stream to finance the tuition for the A.D. Kessler real estate course I was offered several months ago...
The main problem of course, being the "seasoning" or securing of the note to viable real assets...I have no doubt that the Kessler training will teach me enough techniques to acquire real estate assets quickly using Other People's Money, but how to offer complete strangers a solidly justified impression of safety in case of "my" default, is another question entirely.
I want to have all these aspects neatly and ethically resolved before I actually offer any such notes for a private sale. if any of my tiny but growing audience has any useful input on the questions above, please don't hesitate to contact me here.

I'm Writing a Book NOW! :')
Well, today I took another big risk. I actually ordered Steve Manning's information on writeabooknow.com. What I have discovered lately is that my own marketing efforts will work much better when I actually believe in the products I am affiliated with.
Of course, just by putting together the blog, I am also "writing a book" in the same step...it's simply moving a lot more slowly than his techniques will. I figured the risk this way...the pricetag for the master course could potentially be "difficult" for the next month or two, given my current stream of fixed income...on the other hand, if the techniques work to allow me to write a book within 14, 15, or even 30 days, that would turn the sale of that book into "the" deal that begins to unlock all of the other income streams on the site... And the leverage against my True Currency of TIME is HUGE.
Does it worry me that I "can't" pay for the course? Not for at least 30 days, it won't...and my roommate may help pay, since she wants to use the course with me. Meanwhile I am also playing to my STRONGEST talent...the writing itself. This becomes a win-win situation between me and Mr. Manning, and produces more business and an increase in reputation for both of us.
For the Rich, money is simply a numbers game. Investments are always about balancing risks with returns. October, as the "last" month of the business year (yes I know about the "big holiday sales boom" coming up in November and December) is just about the PERFECT time to take this sort of risk...why?
Well. let's assume that the techniques in this course work only HALF as well as suggested, and that I can't expect to get any more work done on my book(s) AT ALL during November and December.
WORST case, I will still HAVE the course to study during January...and February 2006...and March...and April... And if there were not SOMETHING worthwhile to learn from it, Mr. Manning would long ago have been sued for the resulting fraud, yes? Of course he would!
Which brings me back to the advantages of self-designed intellectual property.
THIS project doesn't have to be my FIRST book...it may work a lot better if it ISN'T my first book. But...there will only have to be ONE. to open doors professionally to many, many others, EACH of which is a separate STREAM of income, rights, and royalties.
A book is a simple, direct way of leveraging TIME you have already spent, into MONEY for your valuable information, and also more CONTACTS than you may know what to do with.
I never said I wouldn't be spending MY OWN money on the project...only that I wouldn't be spending yours. So...when the course arrives, I will be counting down "live" on the site, as part of my own test-drive.
Meanwhile, as always, I wish for you
