Empowerment Through Self Discovery


Self discovery is the process by which human beings educated themselves, understand themselves, grow spiritually and intellectually and empower themselves.

Why is this so vitally important?
It is vitally important because unless an individual knows who he/she really is, he/she is a stranger to himself/herself.

Unless a person knows his/her talents and abilities, he/she is forever crippled as a human being and subject to the whims and dictates of others.

Self discovery is a process that begins and ends with you. This process, in its simplest form, is the means by which you grow and develop intellectually and spiritually. The physical you grows on its own. All you basically have to do is feed it and properly and take of it. The manner, means and method by which the physical aspect of our being grows is normally beyond our conscious control.

Consequently, the only aspects of your being over which you can exercise control is your spiritual and intellectual self. Self discovery will help you identify, characterize, organize and effectively utilize what you have learned and will continue to learn about yourself. This is the essence and the foundation of personal growth and development and it is the only means by which you can rise to higher levels of conscious awareness.

Empowerment like everything else on our planet is a process. It begins by acquiring knowledge that grows into understanding and matures into wisdom. Wisdom is the practical application and use of knowledge and understanding in ways that benefit the individual and others.

It has been said, "knowledge is power". If this is true, then the more knowledge an individual has or acquires, the more powerful that individual becomes relative to others in his/her immediate environment and the more confidence that individual will have in himself/herself. Having confidence in yourself encourages others to have confidence in you and your abilities.

Self discovery and self empowerment are important for other reasons as well. The most important being having the ability to examine your mindset on an ongoing basis. The reason why so many people are crippled psychologically is because they never examined the knowledge they carry around in their heads or how they got that knowledge.

Millions have never initiated the self discovery process that will help them live more productively. If you don't have the right mindset, it is much more difficult, if not impossible, to live productively and successfully with boundless joy and happiness.

Unlike professional athletes and entertainers that can survive on their honed skills and natural talents, and the world will pay a premium to be entertained by them, The rest of us need to have the correct mindset and continually improve the way we think, what we think, how we think and our decision-making process. Using your mind properly is the only known method to achieving your personal goals, whatever they may be.

Do you know what your mind-set is? Do you know what is the absolute best mind-set to have? Personal discovery will lead you to these answers and every answer you seek in any and all your endeavors.

The Truth About Safelists


The secret to making money on the net is no secret at all. It doesn't involve scams, pyramids, schemes, porn, casinos or auctions and it doesn't require you to be a programming wizard.

Anyone with a few hours a day can generate a substantial income in a reasonable period of time.


  • Fact: 97% of online marketers earn less then ten dollars per day online.
  • Fact: 82% of online marketers spend over 6 hours a day peddling their wares.
  • Fact: 4.6% of online marketers believe they can become millionaires overnight.
  • Most online marketers use safelists and the safelist industry has become a huge "File 13". 99.99% of your email ads are filtered to bulk folders and are rarely seen by the intended recipient. Then, if you spam the mailbox, like so many online ingrates, you are blacklisted and put out of business... and you should be.

    The vast majority of email boxholders rarely read safelist mail. And.. I bet that probably includes you.

    The future of online marketing is in list building. A professional list builder uses a huge database of opt-in requests to advertise to. These databases are filled with literally millions of people worldwide that have requested information regarding a particular subject, product or service.

    The overall best strategy is to compile your own lists. You can accomplish this objective in a number of ways.

    1. Use features and benefits in your ad copy. Example, Feature: "Last Longer", The Benefit: "Save More Time", Feature: "Never Seen Before", Benefit: "Little or no competition".

    2. Use a little humor in your ad copy. It could be the little extra motive you need to close a sale. People are usually persuaded easier if they're in a good mood.

    3. Ask your visitors questions that induce thoughts, feelings, memories and emotions that will influence them to buy.

    4. Use blue, underlined text links. People have been branded that blue, underlined text are links. You do not want to lose visitors by using a different color.

    5. Use professional web design, graphics, content, customer service, etc.

    6. Offer something for FREE. Such as.....

    • Downloadable Software - Allow your visitors to download software that's similar to or compliments their main purchase.
    • Online Utility - Give visitors a web utility that will make their life easier. It can be a calculator, graphic creator, web site submitter, etc.
    • E-books, Information Sheets, Booklets, Guides, Outlines, Special Reports, etc.
    • Online Video - Allow visitors to download or view a related how-to video or informative seminar right over the Internet.
    • Online Audio - Allow visitors to download and listen to a recording of an expert that is being interviewed right over the Internet.

    Don't be fooled by low cost opt-in lists. A lot can be told about a program simply by looking at the site that is offering it. Keep in mind that if it sounds too good to be true that it probably is.
