We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them. ~ Albert Einstein

The Keen and the Clueless

Posted: October 26th, 2009 | Author: Leseo |

Ever try to practice a rock-perched Crane, à la Daniel-san in The Karate Kid?  We were watching such a scene the other day and an interesting thing happened.

Two friends, one who obviously had training, and one who appeared to be a newbie, were having a little contest to see who could balance the longest, and do it the most times in a row without a shin-skinning fall.

The person who had been mentored got up on a rock and showed the newbie how to hold out the arms, bend the knees, etc.  The newbie followed suit, laughing and learning, and having some beginner’s success.

Newbie and ‘Daniel-san’ enjoyed a good little contest on the beach — until one fall ended the fun.  While ‘Daniel-san’ was good at helping Newbie learn the fun part, ‘Daniel-san’ hadn’t covered how to fall off the rock without getting hurt.  When Newbie’s balance faltered, Newbie felt helpless and more than skinned a shin.  There they were, the Keen and the Clueless.

~~ Cut to a Scene in Your Own Life ~~

~~ Cut to the most powerful business brain-trust ever assembled ~~

Now imagine combining scenes two and three and see what happens…Your Own Life getting access to over 50 of the most accomplished coaches and business strategists ever, gathered for one purpose:  To help Your Business.  To help you get started, take off, scale to huge proportions.  To give you hope and courage to pursue your dreams and goals…

…and… to help keep you from self-destructing when you fall off a ‘rock’.

Oh my, I would LOVE to have access to The League of Extraordinary Minds!

If Newbie had all these perspectives and balancing skills, Newbie could have:

  • Avoided a lot of pain
  • Learned how to cut the Newbie-losses
  • Found out about consistency and continuity and how to survive the long-haul
  • Been privy to the Missing Pieces which can make ALL THE DIFFERENCE in success.
  • Learned how to risk without killing off the Newbie-juice, or our so-many chances for success.

There is a tremendous amount of “Buzz” around this august group and their League of Extraordinary Minds project.  It’s all good, so just go find out for yourself right now!

Even for those of us who are experienced business owners and entrepreneurs, there is always another barrier to jump over, another meadow where we are ignorant about which new plants to cultivate, and about where the hungry, eager markets hang out.

So vetted and trained marketers are always perpetual beginners — we live and operate in that creative tension between the keen and the clueless.

Go join this series of free listening opportunities to hear panels of wildly successful minds discussing how they went from clueless to keen, and how you can apply those principles to Your Business.  DO NOT MISS THIS!  All we have to do is show up and listen.

No books or CDs to buy, in order to listen.  No obligation at all.  It’s all FREE.

The free line is within your reach.  Grasp it immediately.

Do it quickly — because the kick-off first call with Tony Robbins is this Thursday, the 29th.
(Yes, THAT Tony Robbins!)

Super Affiliates: Turn-on or Turn-off?

Posted: August 31st, 2009 | Author: Laraine |

First, think of something you wish everyone knew.  Well, at least everyone you wish well!  (We’re working on wishing everyone well.)

Next, think of something very valuable you wish everyone could have in their lives.  Tangible or Intangible, Practical or Just for Fun or Beauty.  These should be things you really believe in for this thing to work.

Now put those two steps together:  (an example in action:  Jeff Johnson’s new video)

Think of how to make it possible
for more folks to know what they need to know
to have the valuable things they want and need.

Some people learning how to be affiliates begin by trying to answer those questions.  What do I wish I could teach people so they could have the freedom they desire?

The freedom to pursue their passions,
and the freedom from life’s pains.

One way to accomplish this is to find outstanding teachers and connect them with new students and followers.

  • Teachers who actually care about their students,
  • and who practice what they teach.
  • Trainers who are ethical, experienced,
  • and in the case of entrepreneurs, highly successful long-term.
  • Coaches who fit their leadings into the broad context of people’s real lives.
  • Students who want to know the material being taught — because they want that value and freedom in their lives.

We at APTservicesgroup.com are very picky.  We have done some serious homework in finding you reputable and talented resources.  We have checked out every person we recommend, and have studied something and benefitted from every one.

These are the Cream of the Crop.

Their courses, newsletters, products, and email lists deliver massive value to someone trying to live healthily, get their own online business going, manage time more effectively, kick fears away, and in short, Move Forward.

This week, check out Jeff Johnson’s new video on his blog.  If you don’t know Jeff, he’s a fast-talker.  He moves so fast, video is perfect — you can replay it to take your notes and capture all the juicy gems he tosses out to you.

If you’re a newbie, Don’t let the marketty-sounding parts turn you off.  Get past that and think of the value and benefits his training could bring your life.  He’s a family guy from Michigan who is so comfortable with his knowledge of business that he’s not even embarrassed to sound marketty.  But he takes beginners from clueless to ethical cash with great care and skill.

You’ll want to try his mailing list for awhile.  He sends out great content and free software all the time.  He never spams and every email includes an opt-out option.  We love his clear, detailed videos. Put your email address in the bold green bar on Jeff Johnson’s Underground Training Lab blog.  Yeah, we know, it looks “marketty.”  But it’s safe and wonderful.

Are you still here?  Go find out how to make it possible. Get the means to have

Freedom to Pursue Your Passions,
and more Freedom from life’s pains.

Yeah.

Welcome to APT Services Group

Posted: August 1st, 2009 | Author: Leseo |

Many think of Albert Einstein as a super-serious brainiac, distanced from the ‘human’ side of being human.  Actually, he valued imagination over facts!  He also enjoyed laughing and was known by family and friends for his delightful sense of humor.
