Use Social Networking to Expand Your Impact on the Web

In 2005, blogs became popular. They were the single most important way of communicating your message to the masses.

A year later, folks were uploading personal videos to a new site called YouTube.com.

2007 saw an explosion in popularity with sites with crazy names such at Twitter, Flickr, deLicio.us. Miro, Facebook, LinkdIn, Digg and Redditt.

Yet not many Internet surfers have learned how to monetize these sites or use them to increase their online presence. Most folks see social sites as places where teenagers who have too much time on their hands hang out and post pictures.

The geeks create sites like these; the kids figure out how to use them. And about a year or so later, business comes along and figures out how to incorporate it all into the real world.

Well, one of my old friends who is way more than a geek has become an expert on applying these Web 2.0 sites to marketing business on the Internet.

And he will be sharing just a few of his secrets on the phone with me next Tuesday night, August 5 at 9 PM Eastern Time.

Even if you don’t care about learning how to monetize the social sites, pass this on to your kids so they can join us on the call.

If one of them sets up a business using these gadget sites, you may start wondering where the checks in the mailbox are coming from.

It happens.

So if someone in your house is interested in learning about social networking, don’t miss this call Tuesday with my good friend Don Crowther.

The call is Tuesday night, August 5 at 9 PM Eastern.

The number to call is 605-475-4150

The passcode is 41561#

And if you love this stuff, plan to meet Don in Atlanta. He’ll be speaking on Friday afternoon.

Here’s where you can learn more:

God Doesn’t Always Tell You What He’s Up To

Have you ever given your kids, your spouse or your friend an excuse when they ask you why they want you to do a particular thing?

You want them to do something yet you know if you tell them, they’ll argue that their way is better.

So you don’t tell them the WHOLE truth so you can get them to do what they really ought to do.

It’s unfortunate but I think God often has to do the same thing with us.

He leads us to one thing and once we get there, He steers us in a different direction.

If He had told us what we were getting into when we started, most of us would not have gone.

Take Columbus, for example. When God spoke to him about finding the New World, he set out in one direction.

As he got so far, the Holy Spirit spoke to him and said, “Turn 15 degrees.”

So he did.

In fact, that happened several times.

If Columbus hadn’t adjusted his course, he would have completely missed the continent.

But God didn’t tell him that at the beginning of the journey. He also didn’t give him all the facts.

So the next time someone asks you to do something, realize that what they are asking may not be the MAIN thing they want to accomplish.

It’s just one thing.

Life is full of lessons. The sooner you learn not to argue, the faster you’ll get ahead.

So many books, so little time...

Rhea!
who wonders where we would be if Columbus had argued with God

My Dedication to Helping Fathers

As we honor fathers across this land on Father’s Day this weekend, I have to admit that I have been feeling truly sorry for them lately.

We live in the richest country in the world.

We are more educated than any other people on earth have ever been.

We dominate the most cutting-edge invention of all time – the Internet, yet way too many highly educated fathers can’t pay their monthly bills.

And although this country is heading for bankruptcy, just like in the days of the Depression, those who were prepared for hard times, thrived. Those who weren’t, jumped out of windows.

With the cost of gas rising daily and political change about to overtake the White House, who can guess what is about to happen in our economy?

How can this be?

Well, I think there are several factors to attribute this to but here’s one of the main ones.

Our government educational system doesn’t tailor education to fulfill the calling of the individual. That’s fine because that’s not really its purpose.

Parents, however, are supposed to be responsible for helping their young people find their direction, especially the father.

But somewhere in our recent history, we’ve delegated that duty to the state so now the state prepares men and women to work for it.

That IS the purpose of government education and it does a decent job.

But… what if you want to actually find fulfillment in what you do and desire to live a quality life with 5, 10 or 15 children, many grandchildren and your extended family members (all which can be expensive), while also blessing others?

Do the math on THAT bill.

Then imagine the stress.

(Maybe you don’t have to imagine it. Maybe you already live with it.)

I am really concerned about the weight that so many fathers bear on their shoulders these days.

And I am dedicated to helping as much as I can. My oldest son and I worked together to bring our dad home and I want to help you do the same.

Imagine how you could help those around you if you only knew exactly what you are supposed to be doing on this earth so you could tap into the power of God ASAP and channel the abundant blessings He has waiting for you to those who truly need them.

Just imagine.

Then imagine the cost of starting all over again with a new career AFTER you’ve found out that the one you fell into won’t provide for your basic needs… or give you the fulfillment that doing a good job with what you love brings.

The question you have to ask yourself then is this, “What can I do to change the situation?”

If you seriously need to do something different, there are three things you must do.

1. Get vision for YOUR life.

You won’t get that from watching CNN or hiding in online video games.

2. Get specific education.

You won’t get education on how to make money from government schools. That is not their purpose.

Yes, you can go back to college and spend 4 more years learning another trade or getting another degree, but you won’t be much closer to your goal than you are now. They don’t teach you the principles of success in college. They prepare you to have a job.

How do you think I know that?

3. You’ve got to take action as soon as possible to solve the problem.

Waiting won’t make it better. If you don’t do something now, you won’t be any better off a year from now.

Proverbs 4:7 says, “The beginning of wisdom is: Acquire wisdom; and with all your acquiring, get understanding.”

The problem is, where are the men and women who understand how to make money who should be directing fathers to help their teens make wise decisions?

Why aren’t the fathers of this land qualified to help their children directly?

Could it be possible that they lack vision, education and positive action? Hmm….

So we find ourselves knee-deep in debt and struggling frantically just to keep up while the flood waters of the economy are rising faster than the water in the streets of Cedar Rapids.

We’d better do something quick.

So here is my solution to getting the vision you need to get started.

I have invited a handful of millionaires who understand how to make money in a variety of ways to teach you about what they do at our annual home business conference in Atlanta.

We’ve been hosting this event that started in my home for 8 years now.

You can spend a full 3-day weekend with these men of understanding and ask them your questions. Take one of them to dinner.

They can give you the vision you don’t have.

They can teach you things you don’t even know exist.

Not many people can do that.

But in order for them to help you, you have to meet them.

So if you are serious about finding your direction in life, pray about this seriously. The Lord has put this together for you.

I am God’s Virtual Assistant on earth. I am one of his event planners on earth. He is the boss; I just make the arrangements for Him.

If you want to change your life, here’s one place to start:

It may not be easy to make it happen, but hey, what are your options?

Read this page, and then plan to join us. And don’t forget to bring your teens. You’ll kick yourself once you get there and see what they’ve missed.

If you have any questions, feel free to email us and we’ll call you.

Just visit our site - http://www.entrepreneurdays.com/ – and click on Contact Us.

I am serious about changing this country.

I am serious about helping moms and dads.

Picture me as a redneck home school mom from the backside of nowhere driving through the floodwaters of Cyberspace in a monster truck coming to rescue you.

You’ve heard the joke about the guy on the rooftop in the flood who prays to God for help, then refuses to take the helping hand of two different guys in boats and a ladder hanging from a helicopter just before he drowns.

Well, here comes that ladder again.

Grab it before it’s too late!

So many books, so little time…

Rhea!
who wants you to meditate on the words of theologian Cotton Mather who believed in teaching children to serve their God with a trade

P.S. No matter what’s happening in your life, forget about it all for just one day and have a happy Father’s Day!

20 Statements
By Cotton Mather

1. I will resolve to do all I can that my child may be the Lord’s.
2. I will encourage my child to every day cry to God that He would be the child’s Father, and Saviour, and Leader.
3. I will pray for my child daily.
4. I will read the Bible to my child and tell the stories of the Bible to them.
5. I will teach my child to memorize Scripture.
6. I will teach my child the Catechism.
7. I will teach my child to pray.
8. I will teach my child to be kind.
9. I will teach my child to read and write. I will direct their reading and talk with them about what they have read.
10. My yoke will be light. I will wholly avoid that harsh, fierce, crabbed usage of the children that would make them tremble and abhor to come into my presence. I will always proportion the chastisements to the miscarriages; neither smiting bitterly for a very small piece of childishness nor frowning only a little for some real wickedness.
11. I will teach my child to love Christ.
12. I will encourage my child to speak with me about the state of their soul.
13. I will be careful about my children’s companions.
14. I will discuss the sermons we hear with my child.
15. I will use the opportunities of Days of Humiliation, Days of Thanksgiving, and particularly birthdays to talk about the works of God.
16. I will use the opportunity of trouble, sickness or pain to remind them to be mindful of Christ and eternity.
17. I will teach my child a trade or business.
18. I will show my children that their main end must be to acknowledge the great God, and His glorious Christ; and bring others to acknowledge Him.
19. I will oblige the children to retire sometimes, and ponder on that question: “What shall I wish to have done, if I were now a-dying”?
20. I will endeavor to see my child espoused to the Saviour first, then I will help them as I can for their best accommodation in the married state.
