Attracting People to You

Hi Everyone,

Jim Duggan here from FFSI/Retire Quickly
http://www.ffsi-rq.com

This message was recently sent to me by one of our members and I thought I would share it with everyone. It's very enlightening! :-)
********************************

In West Virginia folklore there is a story of a country doctor who was called out to a holler late one night to assist a woman about to give birth.

By the time the doctor arrived at the farmhouse, things had progressed to a point where the doctor asked the husband to help him by holding a gas lantern up high in order to illuminate the makeshift delivery room.

Before long, the courageous mother delivered a healthy baby boy. As the father lowered the lantern, the doctor barked an order to keep the lantern aloft: "We're not done yet."

Shortly, a second child appeared on the scene,a healthy baby girl. Shaken by the unexpected arrival of twins, the father heard the doctor say once again, "We can't stop now. It looks as if it's going to be triplets." To which the stunned father, still holding the lantern high, replied,

"Do you think it's the light that's attracting them?"

Light has a quality of attraction. I recently left my office door open late one afternoon in our mountain home and, at dusk, the light from within attracted -- a hummingbird! (Coaxing a hummingbird out of the house is a little like pushing a rope. Mostly, whatever you do doesn't work.)

You, too, have a light that attracts...an inner light. Not visible to the naked eye, but apparent just the same. We speak of a "twinkle" in the eye or a "flicker" of warmth in the heart. Some people shine with a light of kindness. Others emit a light of hope. There are those who glow with enthusiasm and still others who radiate love

.Almost all creatures are drawn to light, including humans.

Do you want to attract people to you?

Positive and life-affirming inner qualities can attract people like a warm fire on a cold night.

What will draw other people to you best cannot be purchased in any department store. They will respond to that which radiates from within.

You may not always see it, but your light is shining through. And it's one of your most attractive qualities!

P.S. "Civilization is just a slow process of learning to be kind."

Six Steps To Success

Six Steps To Success By James Duggan

If you have been online for more than a day you have seen the outrageous claims being made.

Some claim they make more in one week that most earn in a year.

Some claim they can build your mailing list to the size of a small city in 24 hours.

Others claim that, if you just pay a small fee, they will actually build your business for you with no work on your part.

Gimme a break!

There IS a proven path to success on the Internet, but it's not by lying to people and looking like a fool.

It IS by following in the footsteps of other successful people, people of integrity and substance, and by following a simple plan.

And I'm going to give you a sneak peek at that plan right now, free.

Here now are the six steps to success online.

1. Be yourself.

If you are a laid back type of person don't go for those programs that offer the razzle dazzle approach. It just won't fit you and people will know.

If you have only 5 hours a week to commit to a program don't let some eager beaver convince you that you can squeeze 10 hours into the five. You will be frustrated at best.

Knowing what you want and knowing what you are comfortable doing are two very important keys to succeeding online.

2. Go for quality.

It has often been said that when a person believes in what they are doing their business becomes more fun than work. I can tell you first hand that this is true.

You are a person of quality. Don't align yourself with anything less than a product or program that you would be happy to share over the dinner table with friends or a family reunion.

Life is too short to not be completely proud of how you make a living online.

3. Think long term.

No real business was built in a week or a month and yours will be no exception. Yes, the Internet gives us some *huge*advantages over offline businesses, and success can come quickly indeed.

The key here is to look at your business as business, not a scheme. The more you invest of yourself, the more return you will receive.

The beautiful thing about doing business online is something called residual or passive income. Be sure to look for a business that offers you the chance to work once and be paid for that work many times by building a team of associates who can share your success.

4. Get a mentor.

You must have a road map to success and you must *not* go it alone. Would you begin a cross country trip without a map or a guide?

Now that the Internet is maturing, we can see from experience that one of the differences between those who succeed quickly and easily and those who learn by costly and painful trial and error is obvious.

The ones who succeed in record time are those who have helpi n the form of a mentor.

Someone to help them. Someone to answer questions. Someone to help them avoid the mistakes that are all too easy to make.

Of the six steps outlined here, finding a great mentor is my#1 suggestion. It simply works!

5. Offer what people really want.

Many people online get all excited about a great product but then can't succeed in marketing it. The reason is that they have put "the cart before the horse" and don't understand the process of marketing.

Your mentor will help you find great products. He or she will undoubtedly point you toward products that people really need and want, and will buy online.

Products that people use in their everyday lives, and not odd or unusual products are what people buy online.

6. Check it out.

No matter what business you choose, check out the company before you commit. Any company worth considering will have both testimonials on file and someone you can communicate with who has succeeded with their opportunity.

Don't simply read a sales letter and become convinced. Ask the questions you would recommend that your son or daughter would ask if they were considering a home business.

Doing business online is incredibly rewarding. Being able to earn income by helping others, not punching a time clock,and having the freedom to set your own hours are the 21st Century dream come true.

If you use the six steps above, you can make *your* dream come true too!

Retire Quickly - FFSI Update

Dear FFSI Consultant,

With all the enhancements we have made throughout our years in
business we have never enjoyed such a big and immediate increase in growth as
we are experiencing since lowering the costs of our opportunity and
adding the new "Realize the Dream" message to the website. Enrollments are
up sharply plus we have already had quite a few reactivations.

With our costs now below $40 and with the new "Realize the Dream"
message your website can produce automated enrollments. John Windscheffel
called earlier this week as excited as a child with a new toy. He had
called two prospects, whom he did not know, and with only one phone call
to each of them both enrolled as new Consultants. He asked them to go to
his website and click on the "Realize the Dream" message. He stayed on
the phone with them while they listened to the message, then they
signed up on the spot. John said this is the easiest it has ever been.

Here are the latest updates:

INVITATION EMAIL

The Invitation eMail has been updated and now includes a direct link to
listen to the "Realize the Dream" message and a link to your WWW
website.

The Invitation eMail is for inviting those you know to investigate our
income opportunity. You will find this simple but powerful tool in your
Consultant's Center.

You can read the email that will be sent....then enter the first name
and the email address of the person you know, then click submit. DO NOT
USE this tool to send to people you don't know.

LIVE - "REALIZE THE DREAM" PRESENTATION - by Kelly Reese

Starting Tuesday night September 27th at 9:00 PM EST, and each Tuesday
night until the end of this year, Kelly will present our opportunity
"Live". This will be a web conference.

Invite your prospects to go to http://www.ffsi.com/dream at the above
dates and time.

A recording of one of the first couple of presentations will also be
placed in Making Money 101 for Consultant training.

MARKETING LITERATURE

1) All three of the large Marketing Booklets are completed and
available in your Consultant's Center.
2) The designs of the smaller Marketing Brochures are well underway.

FLASH WEBSITE WORK

Our plans are to announce next week the specific details about this
exciting project. All I will say today is you will really love what we are
doing.

SIMPLIFICATION PROJECT

In conjunction with the new Flash work, we have simplified some of the
menus in the Member's Area. This makes it easier to find what you are
looking for.

MAKING MONEY 101

Making Money 101 is the new name for the Sales Guide, and, as some of
you have already commented, it is much simpler and briefer, yet even
more helpful.

ANNOUNCEMENT TO BE SENT TO OLD MEMBERSHIP CONSULTANTS

Consultants who have been with us a long time have asked us to send an
announcement to all past Consultants telling them about our new lower
costs. We will do that in a few days.

FINANCIAL FREEDOM REPORT

In case you missed the announcement in the audio update from last week,
the September Financial Freedom Report is available.

Stay safe and enjoy your weekend?


Warm Regards,


Your Home Office Team
