The Secret to Getting Traffic From Articles
Article Marketing is the number one source of free traffic on the Internet if you get your Resource Box right. Get this one wrong and you have wasted all your time. Get this one right and you have got it made!
What a Resource Box really is
Call it a Resource Box, Author Bio, etc., what it really is is your opportunity to create a compelling call to action for your reader.
Even though it is called an Author Bio, it is not the time for you to tell the reader all about you and convince them you are an expert. In fact, if you have not demonstrated that you are an expert in your article, it is way to late to try to do it now.
Even though it is an official Call to Action, I like to teach my students and members to use what I call “invitational language” in their Resource Box. Invitational language can be something as simple as “and now I would like to invite you to…” and then name the next action you would like them to take.
This is as opposed to something like “get this great new product now and all your problems will be solved by morning and if you don’t you will be broke forever!”
Sure I’ve exaggerated a bit, but not by much.
Here’s how to do it

The “Social Gathering Power” of Reunions
One of the most fundamental ways to stay united with your colleagues and friends is through the power of Reunions.
Unlike seminars or workshops, Reunion events are not episodic and thus create a greater sense of community and unity among the participants who attend.
(The picture on the upper left of this post is the SFO Marriott where I’m hosting my annual Teleseminarian Reunion this year – March 5th and 6th)
Click here if you’re in a big hurry and watch the video now.
If you’ve ever thought of hosting a conference, workshop or seminar, think instead of tapping into the continuity power of what a Reunion can bring to you and your tribe.
Reunions can be held weekly with professional networking groups like what BNI members do throughout the world, or monthly with private mastermind groups. They can even occur every 60 days such as CEO Space gatherings or annually such as my Teleseminarian Reunion … even every decade like high school reunions.
The time of year or frequency isn’t as important as the gathering power that Reunions create. When I say gathering power, I mean building the sense of belonging or feeling of unity espoused by the members of your community.
And whether those communities are twenty or two-thousand members strong, there are 3 key advantages that Reunions participants have over attending episodic workshops or seminars. These are the 3 unifying elements that espouse more social gathering power:
- Unique language or vocabulary
- Unique community or culture
- Unique facilitation or leadership

How To Master Your “Little Voice” Inside
I have no idea if you and I have ever met, but I do feel I know these two things about you:
1) You have a “Little Voice” deep inside of you
2) That “Little Voice” doesn’t always support you
It doesn’t matter if your business is booming, or if it’s on life support, your “Little Voice” inside is typically the unseen force that drives you to success or failure in everything you do or don’t do.
Click here to see the Little Voice video if you’re in a hurry.
Let me explain: For the past three decades, my colleague Blair Singer has carefully studied, learned, taught and mastered the secret to winning the war between the ears in 30 seconds or less – and enjoy an extraordinary life.
Let me say that again so it really sinks in …”How to Win the War Between Your Ears in 30 seconds or Less – and Have an Extraordinary Life!” is the subtitle of Blair’s newest book, Little Voice Mastery.
His book’s subtitle is also the promise that he and I intend to keep if you, and nine of your friends, decide to join us for our Little Voice Bookinar Series that starts soon. What I’m talking about here is an unprecedented and remarkable Buy 1, Get 9 Free special offer!

Introducing the “Think – Play” Matrix
Where you end-up in the Think-Play Matrix determines the results you get in your personal and professional life.
Click here in you’re in a hurry to watch the video now.
This simple 4-quadrant model offers an interesting and fresh new perspective into the abundance vs. scarcity mindsets and I’ve chosen it as my topic of discussion on the evening of January 21st, during the Virtual Abundance Expo.
What Is The Think-Play Matrix? Picture an “X-Y Axis” that has a 4-quadrant grid inside it. The “X” axis that runs east and west represents the way you Think. It’s about the “inner game” of the thoughts driven by the head, or what you think about.
The “Y” axis that runs north and south represents the way you Play. It’s more about the “outer game” of what your heart inspires you to do , or how you play.
If the X-axis represents the head and the Y-axis represents the heart, then the 4 possible Think-Play combinations are: (more…)

Holiday Greetings from the Mandossians
In this video, I hope to demonstrate to you how “the evolution of a result is more important than the actual achievement of that result.”
Click here if you’re in a hurry and want to watch the video now…
Each year in late December, I’ve shared our Holiday Greetings videos from our home. This video happens to be my favorite because I’m not in the video, but our newest addition to our family is … her name is Ginger and she loves unconditionally :-)
You can click on any of the pictures from previous years. The faces may change and the teams may change, but what seems to remain consistent is the evolution of holiday spirit.
And as you watch and smile at how my children – Gabriel and Breanna – have evolved sitting on Santa’s lap year after year, I encourage you to think about what your #1 area of improvement was for 2009.
In what area of your personal or professional life would you consider yourself most improved? What seemingly overwhelming challenge did you conquer? What problem did you solve? What predicament did you overcome?
Take and moment to think about it and then write it down and declare it publicly so others who are also reading this blog post can comment and share.
What To Do Now: Please comment and share your most significant improvement in any of these major 7 categories of your life – Business/Career, Finance, Fun, Health/Fitness, Relationships, Personal or Contribution.

How YOUR Testimonials Attract More Traffic
Most entrepreneurs think it’s difficult to attract more targeted website or blog visitors.
But I’ve found that the fastest, easiest and most reliable way to draw in monetizable traffic is through authentic testimonials.
Click here if you’re in a big hurry right now so you can watch the video and then comment and share with your friends and colleagues.
One of the best ways to draw in new website traffic is to do what I call the Sandwich Video Testimonial. That’s where you give an authentic, meaningful endorsement to a thought leader or teacher who typically has more monthly website traffic than you do.
I recently taught this methodology at a CEO Space class on the main stage, so if you’ve got 2 minutes, 44 seconds to view the video I’m talking about, just click here and comment and share.
What To Do Now: Please watch this video and then comment and share on your Facebook Fan Page, Twitter pages or blog. Thanks for reading this post.

A Thanksgiving Post for 101 Teachers in My Life
I enjoy making lists.
The list I want to reveal to you this Thanksgiving Day is my Gratitude List of 101 Teachers who have influenced my life and reminded me of the importance of being a lifelong learner.
This partial list is alphabetized by first name. Many of my Teachers are still living and some have passed on.
I consider this a “partial” Gratitude List because I’m absolutely certain that I’ve overlooked lots of people who have had deep influences on my personal and professional life. Forgive me if you are one of those people.
If you’ve taught me something, but don’t see your name on the list, again please forgive my oversight and help me complete my list by commenting & sharing what you feel you’ve taught me.
Sound fair enough?
My purpose in sharing my 101 Teachers list is for you to create your own. I encourage you to make a list of your Teachers and share it publicly as a declaration … just like I did.
The simple act of writing the names and what you’ve learned will put a smile on your face and make you feel great.
