July 23, 2008 A Sad StoryIn This Issue:Feature Article: "A Sad Story" Quick Tips: "The Power of Consistency" Fast Facts: "Fascinating Weather Facts in Europe and the U.S." “A Sad Story”I spend part of my week working with a large company here in Melbourne, Australia.Right now, this company is going through a merger which has made for a lot of uncertainty, insecurity and stress among many members of staff. Those in the Information Technology (I.T.) department - one of the departments headed for rationalization - are, in particular, feeling the strain of not knowing what their futures hold. But nothing could have prepared them for what happened on Friday afternoon. Out of the blue, one of the I.T. staff suffered a heart attack. Her team mates scrambled to help her and an ambulance was quickly on the scene. I personally saw her being carried out of the building on a stretcher. Sadly, she passed away on Monday night. Now I didn't know her very well, and can only imagine what her last thoughts were before she suffered the cardiac arrest. But it wouldn't surprise me if her last thoughts were something along the lines of: "Better get on with that report" or "Who just sent me an email?" or "I'll call so-and-so to get an update on that project" or something equally as mundane. You see what I'm getting at, don't you? One moment you are thinking about working on some report... the next your life is snatched away forever... This is just another wake-up call to me, and, I hope to you. Life is precious. Let's try to make the most of it. Let's try not to let ourselves become stressed by things and events that just don't matter in the long term. (If it's something you're unlikely to remember a week from now, let alone any longer, it's NOT something to stress over.) Let's try to have more fun. Let's not put off things we really want to do. Let's follow our dreams. Let's try to enjoy more of the time we have on this planet. * HIGHLY RECOMMENDED * “They Say He's The World's Highest Paid Marketing Consultant... Now, He's Yours For 99% Off”Jay Abraham is arguably the world's most respected marketing consultant. He's certainly one of the most - if not THE most - highly paid, commanding an hourly rate of $5,000. His list of clients includes A-list marketers and companies including Anthony Robbins, Brian Tracy, Nightingale Conant, Guthy-Renker and Entrepreneur Magazine... among around 12,000 businesses that have made about $5.4 billion based on Jay's advice. That may sound over the top, but when you hear what Jay has to say, you'll discover why that's probably an understatement. Jay is also the guy I first learned marketing from. Not "text book" marketing, but real world marketing. In fact, I was still a poor university student when I somehow scrambled $5,000 together to pay for Jay's home study marketing course. That's a lot of money now, let alone for a university student without a full-time income back in the 90s! But I will tell you this: that investment has paid off in spades. No question - what I learned from Jay put me on the path to success in both marketing and business. Fortunately for you, you don't have to shell out $5,000. In fact, if you act quickly, Jay will send you the up-to-date version of his income building home study system for LESS THAN 1% of what I paid! But don't sit on this opportunity... ==> Claim Jay Abraham's Home Study Marketing Course For 99% Off “The Power of Consistency”Want to lose weight? Write that novel? Build that business? Succeed in that career?Frustrated because you did something that may have held back your progress? Don't beat yourself up about it. Success is NOT about doing certain things e.g. eating healthy foods, writing, working on your business, etc ALL the time. It's about doing these things MOST of the time. It's consistency that matters. After all, no one got fit by going to the gym once. Equally, no one lost their fitness by missing one gym session. Instead, give yourself permission to deviate a little. Be imperfect. As long as you do the right things most of the time, you'll still achieve your goal... and will probably enjoy the journey more. * HIGHLY RECOMMENDED * “Discover How To Really Build Wealth and Financial Security”You're about to discover what your financial advisor probably won't tell you about investing... Not because they don't want to... but because they don't KNOW. In fact, in this 12 month home study course, you'll discover not only how to devise financial goals, establish a sound investment strategy, and invest in everything from property, to stocks, to futures, to your own business... but you'll discover the powerful MINDSET necessary to build significant wealth. And no, it has NOTHING to do with the law of attraction and EVERYTHING to do with a new way of thinking. ==> Discover How To Really Build Wealth and Financial Security “Fascinating Weather Facts in Europe and the U.S.”Okay, I admit it. I have a slight penchant for weather facts. But I don't come close to Dan Baker, who lists all kinds of interesting U.S. and European weather facts on his website.Some examples? Which U.S. city has the most weather variety, based on temperature, variation, precipitation, wind and severe weather? It's Springfield, Missouri. The U.S. city with the least weather variety? San Francisco, California. How about Europe? The European city with the most weather variety is... Milan, Italy. The European city with the least weather variety? London, United Kingdom.
