$1,167.00
The first thing I would like to do is share with you an email that I recently received that provided the inspiration for this article.
Mr. Calvert,
Hello, my name is Tanya Jameson. I met you a few months ago at the Bunny Slipper Boot Camp you spoke at in Las Vegas. I am the one that spoke to you after the Boot Camp and told you I was going to invest in your “How to Create a $5,000 Monthly Income with Ebay and Online Auctions Course” after I had a couple of yard sales.
I knew at the time, you probably didn’t believe me, but I did go to www.OnlineAuctionU.com and purchase your course. Anyway I just wanted to let you know that I have followed your course step-by-step and last month I have my first month of over $5,000.00 in profits, $5,233.70 to be exact and I am having a blast. My 5 year old daughter helps me in my business and because of your course; I never have to worry about taking a job outside the home again.
Now for my question, at the seminar you said that you personally spend over $15,000 a year on books, tapes, seminars, and other personal development courses.
My question is why?
You have a net worth of millions of dollars, you speak all over the world at seminars, and have dozens of training programs, why do you still invest so much money? I am just curious; please respond when you have an opportunity.
Thank you for helping me change my life!
Tanya Jameson
Here is my response:
Tanya,
Congratulations on your first $5,000 month! You now have developed the skills and knowledge to be able to write your own pay check every month with Ebay and online auctions. I am proud of you and I appreciate you taking the time to send me an email.
Now regarding your question and why I spend so much money on personal education.
My definition of success is not how much cash, or how many toys you have. To me “Success is living your life working towards worthy Goals” When I was broke, living in a small 600 foot square home and driving a beat up Chevette, I was as successful then as I am now, because I had worthy goals that I was working towards daily.
Now here is the “brain tweak” once I reached those goals, I was no longer a success. Think about that one for a minute. The only way I could maintain my success is to set new goals!
When I was financially broke, I developed the habit of spending 10% of my income on my own personal education. Jim Rohn says “Formal education will make you a living; if you become self-educated you can create a fortune”
That is one of the things I absolutely enjoy about the Internet, it is a constantly evolving marketing medium. There are always new ideas to learn and concepts and methods to test and put into practice.
Thankfully, my income got to a point, where I could no longer spend 10% on courses, books and tapes. So I was able to buy books and training programs for other people, and at one point provide the book “Think and Grow Rich” to the entire graduating class at our local high school.
However today, I am constantly learning and working towards worthy goals, and I hope you will continue to do the same.
I wish you much success, and as always let me know what I can do to support and help you. I appreciate your support, and again thanks for taking the time to send the email.

I sincerely hope that my response to Tanya has resonated in your mind. If you are broke, but working towards worthy goals, YOU ARE A SUCCESS. Today’s world is full of self educated marketing masters that offer an endless supply of books, tapes, and training programs to help us all become better at what we do.
Oh yeah, before I forget, why is the title of this article $1,167.00? That is what I spent last month for personal educational and training programs. Become “self educated” and I will see you on the never ending road to success!

Cheap Cars – Finding A Used Car Deal
Great news for deal hunters. Finding a great used car deal doesn’t have to be hard. Often, it just takes time and effort but you will be glad you did when you are driving a new set of wheels without risking serious debt.
Its important to note - getting a cheap car is one thing, getting a good value from a used car is another. To be sure your discount vehicle is really as good a deal as it seems, you'll need to think about what other costs you might be facing because of it. Keeping up with a cheap car can be expensive. Something to be on the lookout for when buying a used car is any accident damage or other problems with important structural items like the frame or suspension.
Finding a cheap car is not hard - if you know where to look and what to pay attention for. A good way to start is right in your own neighborhood. If you are in the market for used car deals, you can find allot of cheap cars in the local paper under estate auctions. You could also check out the used car deals at your local dealership.
Another great source for finding a used car deal is auto auctions. At an auto auction, cars are sold to the person who places the highest bid. Auctions are one of the best sources for finding discounts on used vehicles. You should know that the pace at these auctions is usually very high paced.
Getting a good deal on a used car at an auto auction is quite simple and very real. In fact, auto auctions are where many used car dealers go to find deals for their sales lot. For those who are bold and serious about buying a car at a steep discount, attending a live government seized auto auction should be top on your list.
The best way to find a cheap car is not to restrict yourself, be prepared to travel far and wide if you turn up nothing close to home. If you stick to it, your diligence will pay off when you are driving a reliable car at a price you can afford.

Getting The Adsense Ads You Want On The Page You Want Every Time
One of the problems that a lot of Adsense publishers run across time and time again is getting the right page to appear on their ads that’s consistent with the content that they are displaying, or worse yet, getting those PSA (Public Service Announcement) Ads.
People want to now they best way to assure that they get the ads that they are writing content for in their pages. After all, it would really suck if you got a 0.01 cent PSA ad when you were hoping to get a $10.00 lawyer ad.
The number one tip that I can give you is this… make sure that you have your target keyword in your URL. In other words, if you’re aiming for the keyword “grape jelly”, make sure that “grape-jelly” is in your URL:
http:www.xxxxxx.info/grape-jelly.html
Also, people may think that meta keywords are H1 titles are dead… but not so with Adsense. The people at Google read them, too and consider that when dishing out ads. So make sure that you put meta keywords in, and that you have at least a H1 had that matches you keywords as well.
Some may not agree, but it doesn’t hurt your SEO in the long, especially if you are planning to get organic traffic from the search engines anytime soon, and, in case you want to direct some PPC traffic towards your page for any reason, you will do much better with Google Adwords Quality Score criteria.
Organic traffic should be a part of your SEO strategy, and it should include plans to get traffic from all the search engines, not just Google. After all, Google may be big, and your number one traffic supplier, but the next Google update change around the corner could turn you from a person with SERP rankings in the top 5 to a bottom feeder overnight. It's best to be prepared in any case.
In other words, to coin that old song, “take the time, do it right.”
Till Next Time, Keep Building!

Why People Fail With Their Online Business!
I don't think it's any one thing that causes people to fail but it's a combination of things. Here are some things people do wrong that hastens their failure...
They get "info overkill!" It is a bad habit that is very common. People will buy everything new that comes out and they will do NOTHING with it. They become "professional buyers" and become inactive. A lot of them will buy ebooks they never read. You don't have to know everything, you just have to know how to start. Take action and do something.
They have the wrong attitude. If you THINK you can't succeed, you won't! I am a firm believer that your mind believes what you continually tell it. If you think you are a failure, you will be a failure. If you think you can't write an ebook, you won't write an ebook. GIGO - Garbage In Garbage Out!
One word, "traffic!" You have to spend some time learning how to get traffic to your site. The only reason most people can't learn "traffic generation" is laziness! Yes, laziness! There are SO many resources out there that there is no excuse for lack of knowledge.
Desperation! Some people are just too desperate and want to make money too fast. Online success is not something that lends itself to desperate people. It takes time to become an online success. It takes at least SOME money to become an online success. If you are desperate, the internet is not the place to try to make quick money. Get a job and work on the internet part-time.
You CAN make money online. You CAN become a successful internet entrepreneur. The main thing is that it takes patience and that is not something a lot of us have.
