One of the many (probably the biggest) projects that I'm involved
in started as an idea to teach you how to build an email list of
1 million subscribers. Tellman Knudson introduced me to the
project which is called List Crusade. You can read about it at:
http://www.listcrusade.com/williec.html
During the project, over 50 top internet marketers and personal
development "gurus" will share with you (during individual
interviews) list building and motivational techniques to actually
make a list of over 1 million a reality! The entire series will be
completely free
.
During each interview, each guru will get to tell a little about
themselves so that's the only opportunity for a short pitch you
might encounter... but I wouldn't even call that a pitch.
Some of the people included in the project are: Willie Crawford
(no clue who that is), and many lesser know personalities such
as Jay Abraham, Robert Allen, Dr. Robert Anthony, Dr. Joe Vitale,
Mark Victor Hansen (of Chicken Soup For The Soul fame), Brian
Tracey, Armand Morin, John Gray (author of Men Are From Mar
- Women Are From Venue.... the book that showed me how
different we really are), Shawn Casey, Stephen Pierce, Marc
Goldman, Kevin Wilke (of Nitro Marketing), T. Harv Eker, Mike
Glaspie, Jack Zufelt (author of The DNA of Success, and a very
dynamic speaker that I had dinner with several weeks ago), and
many others.
The methods that we'll teach you absolutely free will show you
how to actually build your list to 1 million and beyond. The
motivation thrown in by the personal development experts
should have you doing the things we teach to also MAKE IT
HAPPEN!
You can sign up for this free 26 week series at:

Feel free to share this with your friend and list members! Let
them watch the effects of the magic of thinking big too.

Feature Article:
Copyright 2004 by Willie Crawford
I sat watching a documentary on U.S. Navy SEAL Team Training
on the local exercise channel. It showed young men, mostly
in their early 20's, enduring grueling ocean swims in
near-freezing water. It showed these same young men forced
to swim underwater (holding their breaths) until a major
percentage of them passed out and had to be rescued by their
instructors. It showed weeks of grueling training in which
ordinary men are transformed into incredible machines with
wills of steel and unshakable discipline.
Sitting... transfixed, and marveling at what these young men
were able to accomplish, I saw the one missing element that
most online business people are missing. I saw an ingredient
that if more of them harnessed it, they would be able to
accomplish things "in their world" as magnificent. That one
secret ingredient is teamwork. It was the group cohesiveness,
and the fact that they were all working for a common purpose that
allowed the SEAL Team trainees to accomplish what they would
not normally be able to do.
Enter the realm of the online entrepreneur. He sits at his
computer, researching, writing and testing ads, tweaking his
webpages in an effort to achieve greater search engine ranking,
and doing a dozen other chores. Many of these online
entrepreneurs do this all alone. They attempt the monumental
... to build a six or even seven-figure income while operating in
a vacuum.
Step back and observe the Internet marketer earning several
hundred thousand to several million dollars per year. He
doesn't operate in a vacuum. I know! I lived among and studied
these people, and in the process became one of them.
Let me emphasize what you may not be noticing on a conscious
level:
- Successful Internet marketers all have mentors. Actually many
of them mentor each other. They don't fear sharing things they've
learned through trial and error with those who will share back
with them. They all "cooperate and graduate." They don't have
the "scarcity mentality." They know that through cooperation
the pie actually gets bigger so they each get a bigger piece.
- Successful Internet marketers often have coaches, or
managers. They do this for the same reason that successful
athletes, politicians and celebrities all have coaches or
managers. They know that others can often step back and
observe what's happening in their lives more objectively, and
then make sure that they're only doing things that will move
them towards an identified goal. These coaches will push
them and challenge them to do more than they would probably
do on their own.
- Successful Internet marketers have formal and informal
brainstorming or masterminding networks. Napoleon Hill, in
"Think And Grow Rich," pointed out that this was a common trait
among the millionaires that he studied too. Put several people
together who have a common interest or goal and it's a natural
breeding ground for breakthrough ideas. The masterminding
can be long distance, via conference calls, but it's usually more
productive when it's at an in-person gathering. These gathering
can be as infrequent as twice a year, but they have proven very
powerful!
When you think about why the above factors of extraordinary
accomplishment are so powerful, it seems to boil down to one
word. That word is... accountability. When you've made a
commitment to a group to work towards a common goal, that's
much more effective than if you just made that commitment to
yourself. There's the incredible social pressure of not letting
the group down. There's knowing that the success... or failure
... of someone else hinges upon your actions. That's an
amazing force that you can tap into today which will allow
you to do things that you had previously not even imagined
possible.
Now that you know the secret, if you're serious about building
an incredible online business you only need to harness it. A
good place to find people who are ideal for teaming up with is
at seminars and conferences. That's why I attend so many.
On breaks, at lunch, and after hours, I bounce ideas off of
those with perhaps differing points of view, but with similar
objectives.
While seminars and conferences offer lots of useful information
and provide a motivational lift in-and-of themselves, my
observation has been that the real "money" is made after-hours.
That's where small groups of friends, who only became
associates through these events, sit around and put together
deals and flow out large projects. They do it around the pool or
huddled in an individual's room. They don't just brainstorm, they
make long-term business commitments. These are
commitments that muster in them the same type of effort that
I witnessed in the Navy SEAL trainees swimming in the
freezing ocean water.
I encourage you to stop procrastinating and act upon this obvious
but too-seldom acted upon gem today. If you need help locating
events where you can look for ideal partners, visit my resource
website: http://InternetMarketingSeminarSchedule.com
It lists
a variety of events, and might even offer some very convenient
to where you live. Break out of your shell of mediocrity and do
it today!
As an aside, the next event that I'll personally be at is
Michael Penland's Internet Marketing and Joint Venture Super
Conference, in Orlando, Florida, December 3rd - 5th. There will
be a lot of people there looking for proactive potential business
partners. That's the whole purpose of the conference. You can
register for it today through a special link I've arranged for my
clients and friends at:

Since I started business on the Internet in 1996,
I have looked
at literally hundreds of network marketing companies. The
concept of residual income is very powerful and is one of the
secrets of the rich (they call it "monthly money").
I've only found one company with a tested, proven
system that the
average person can plug right into and do very well with. It's
the company I actively promote and recommend without any
reservations. Quite simply, you can make some real money
