Greetings!  When you go to a doctor it is quite common to seek a second opinion, especially in serious cases of illness.

Whether our business is just taking off, or has been established for years, how great would it be to not only get a second opinion, but a third , forth….up to 53 opinions….for FREE!

That is what Rich Schefren and Jay Abraham have created in the League of Extraordinary Minds.  Their goal is to help every entrepreneur and business owner become successful, and it is completely free.

* How to find JV Partners

* The different types of JV Partners and how to determine what is right for you and your business;

* How to approach JV Partners;

as well as providing additional resources and information to help you in your JV partnership.

To obtain the course, simply fill in your name and email at the box to the upper right, and Day One of the course will be sent to immediately.

Once you have finished the five days, please post below and let me know if you found it valuable or not.

Thank you!

Until next time,

Here we are again — in the middle of another weekend. As you all know, I am working hard to make internet marking my full-time business so that I can once and for all, quit my day job. Then every day will be weekend! I am on track for that to happen by the end of this year — December 31, 2009. If you have similar goals, let me know about them! Let’s reach these goals together. With that said, let’s get into this week’s wrap-up.

This past week I came across several blog posts about link building. On seomoz.org Rob Ousbey recently wrote a blog post called A Link Building Rule to Cut Out and Keep about how to get a website ranked higher in Google. He speaks of advice that he gives to all who ask. It is simply:

“The most valuable links you can get, are those which your competitors will never be able to have.”

He goes on to explain how to tap into links by discovering what your blog or website has to offer that is unique. By being proactive in this regard, you will find links that others will not even be looking for. You can read more about this interesting prospective by checking out his blog post.

Greetings, All!

Another week is behind us. I hope it has been a productive one for you. If you have been journaling, you can look back and see what you have done this week that has worked and what has not. Most importantly you can see all that you have achieved and pat yourself on the back!

This week I finally finished my first ecourse titled: Joint Venture Secrets. It is a five part course that explains what a Joint Venture Partner is, how to go about finding these partners and creating the partnership. Sign up in the box at the top right and tell me what you think of it. I will be writing a blog about this new ecourse in greater detail later this week.

Creating this ecourse was a big achievement for me and I am happy to have completed it. The only reason this happened was because I had put it on the top of my to-do list last Sunday, and committed to it on Alex Jeffrey’s forum. I had been putting it off, doing other things, but finally I said enough. Once it was on the top of my to-do list, and I had publicly committed to it, I just had to stop procrastinating and get it done.

In this week’s Weekly Wrap-Up, in keeping with the productivity theme, I would like to mention David Walker’s blog post titled, Why You Never Get Anything Done. David’s blog is fantastic, filled with easy to understand, yet very informative pieces that will propel your internet marketing efforts forward. David has also written a very good blogging ebook titled, Stop Slogging Start Blogging. I have downloaded it and read it several times over. His ebook is free, but I have found it to be priceless. It is filled with tips about how to become a successful blogger and internet marketer through blogging. This ebook can also be found on David’s blog.

Today I came across a great tool to make my blog even more user friendly. It was easy to install — up and running within 10 minutes, perhaps even less. And of course, best of all, it is completely free.

This tool is called Odiogo and you may have noticed it as something new added to my blog. Odiogo’s motto is “Give your text content a voice…and legs!” Once installed as a wordpress plugin (can also be used with RSS feeds, Blogger, Typepad and Overblog), Odiogo appears as a small “listen now” icon under your blog post title and before the content. By clicking on this icon, your readership can listen to your post or they can download it to listen on their ipod, iphone or MP3 player. This convenience can expand your readership into listenership very quickly. The quality of the reading is pretty good…click on the listen button on any of my blog posts and check it out yourself!
