			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>&#8220;Your mission is to find the people that believe what you believe and do business with them.&#8221;<br />
-Simon Sinek, <em>Start With Why</em></strong></p>
<p>My goal when starting this blog was to interview online business owners so that I could figure out how to create a muse and start living a location independent lifestyle. A few days ago my goal changed&#8230;</p>
<div style="width: 320px; height: 290px; margin: 0pt auto;"><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="247" height="227" id="viddlerplayer-b8d4a4ca"><param name="movie" value="http://www.viddler.com/player/b8d4a4ca/" /><param name="autoplay" value="f" /><param name="disablebranding" value="f" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="name" value="viddlerplayer-b8d4a4ca" /><embed src="http://www.viddler.com/player/b8d4a4ca/" width="247" height="227" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="always" allowFullScreen="true" flashvars="autoplay=f&#038;disablebranding=f" name="viddlerplayer-b8d4a4ca" ></embed></object></div>

<p><strong>DETAILS, DETAILS</strong><br />
The course, created by Ty Tribble,<br />
one of the top 100 business bloggers<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">in the world</span>.<br />
<strong><br />
This is what he&#8217;s done for you&#8230;</strong><br />
He’s divided it into three modules.</p>
<p>And the first module is all about setting<br />
up your blog for maximum effectiveness.</p>
<p>Ty starts off with a quick introduction<br />
that’ll put you in the proper mindset.</p>
<p>Then right after that&#8230;</p>
<p>He’s going to show you how to get a domain,<br />
set-up hosting, and install WordPress.</p>
<p>And not only that&#8230;</p>
<p>He’s going to show you the best themes,<br />
plug-ins, and widgets to use.</p>
<p>And if that’s not enough&#8230;</p>
<p>He’s also going to show you how to create<br />
your first blog page and first blog post.</p>
<p>So by the time you’re finished with the<br />
first module&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br />
<strong>You’ll Have A Blog That’s Up<br />
And Running And Working Perfectly!</strong><br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>Now, if you already have a blog set-up<br />
the first module might seem pretty basic.</p>
<p>But Ty swore he would start from the beginning<br />
and not leave anyone behind.</p>
<p>(Besides, I think you’ll learn some stuff that<br />
no one’s ever taken the time to show you before.)</p>
<p>Now, let’s move onto the second module of where<br />
things start getting more advanced.</p>
<p>The second module is all about&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br />
<strong>Creating Content That Generates<br />
Leads, Sales, And Sign-Ups</strong><br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>Even if you’re NOT a writer!</p>
<p>Ty does most of the work for you by revealing a<br />
long list of websites you can use to copy other<br />
people’s content – without them getting upset!</p>
<p>In fact, when you practice this technique the<br />
way he teaches&#8230;</p>
<p>There’s a good chance the person who wrote the<br />
article will actually thank you for using it!</p>
<p>Oh, and by the way&#8230;</p>
<p>These articles aren’t just any old articles.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br />
<strong>They’re The Most Popular Ones On The<br />
Internet Related To Your Specific Niche!</strong><br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>Think about that for a second.</p>
<p>You’re providing value to your prospects.</p>
<p>You’re getting leads, sales, and sign-ups<br />
WITHOUT having to write much of anything.</p>
<p>And the person who wrote the article is happy<br />
because you’re plugging them on your blog.</p>
<p>It’s a win-win for everyone involved!</p>
<p>But Ty doesn’t stop there.</p>
<p>Because in the second module he’s also going<br />
to show you exactly how to create your own<br />
content just in case you want to.</p>
<p>So by the time you’re finished with the<br />
second module, not only will you have a blog&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br />
<strong>You’ll Have Killer<br />
Content For It Too!</strong><br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>Content that generates leads, sales, sign-ups,<br />
and keeps prospects coming back!</p>
<p>Now let’s talk about the third module.</p>
<p>The third module is all about getting qualified<br />
prospects to visit your blog&#8230;</p>
<p>Now that you’ve set it up the right way and have<br />
good content waiting for them!</p>
<p>Ty’s going to show you lots of different ways to<br />
get the best kinds of traffic.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br />
<strong>Including The Most Up-To-Date Traffic<br />
Generation Methods He’s Using Right Now!</strong><br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>This is stuff he hasn’t shared with anyone else<br />
before other than his team and a small number<br />
of coaching clients who pay him $200/hour.</p>
<p><strong>He’s going to openly show you&#8230;</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>His latest SEO strategies.</p>
<p>His latest social media strategies.</p>
<p>His latest social bookmarking strategies.</p>
<p>His latest blog commenting strategies.</p>
<p>His latest forum commenting strategies.</p></blockquote>
<p>So by the time you’re done with the third module,<br />
not only are you going to have a blog with great<br />
content on it&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br />
<strong>You’re Going To<br />
Start Having Traffic!</strong><br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>Real traffic and dependable traffic.</p>
<p>And better than that, you’re going to know how to<br />
convert that traffic into loyal affiliates and repeat<br />
customers!</p>

<h3><strong>Is Affiliate Marketing For You?</strong></h3>
<p>Let&#8217;s go through the steps that Timothy Ferriss describes for finding your muse.</p>

<p><strong><em>Income Autopilot I: Finding The Muse</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>Running a business vs. owning a business </strong><br />
Decide what you want. Do you want to work 10-14 hours a day in your business or do you want to own a business that you check in on every once in a while.</p>
<p><strong>Find a market &#8211; define your customers &#8211; then find or develop a product for them.</strong><br />
Don&#8217;t be that guy that has this great product idea and then has it made and manufactured only to find that there is no demand for it.</p>
<p><strong>Be a member of your target market and don&#8217;t speculate what others need or will be willing to buy.</strong> A lot of people have made a fortune by solving their own problems and then selling the solution.</p>
<p>1. Which social, industry, and professional groups do you belong to, have you belonged to, or do you understand, whether dentists, engineers, rock climbers, recreational cyclists, car restoration aficionados, dancers, or other?</p>
<p>2. Which of the groups you identified have their own magazines?</p>
<p><em>People can dislike you&#8211;and you often sell more by offending some&#8211;but they should never misunderstand you.</em></p>
<p><strong>Pricing $50-$200</strong></p>
<p>Option 1: Resell a Product<br />
Option 2: License a Product<br />
Option 3: Create a Product</p>
<p>Option 1 is easiest. Option 2 is easy too, and best if you work out a license deal rather than just buying a license that has been sold to thousands of others. Option 3 is easy if you get help:)</p>
<p><strong>The Back Story:</strong></p>
<p>Watching <a title="Simon Sinek's TEDx sppech" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4ZoJKF_VuA" target="_blank">Simon Sinek&#8217;s TEDx speech</a> has had a profound effect on me (I think I must have replayed it 10 times over the last couple of months). I really believe his words which I quoted in the beginning about doing business with people that believe what you believe. That&#8217;s only part of the story. Over the course of the last week I&#8217;ve been back and forth on doing this promotion because after taking all these teaching courses for my Masters degree, I know that one-on-one is the best model. Not to mention, some statistics Kern put up about people not actually using the products that they purchase.</p>
<p>I was drawn to a few videos on excellent companies while reading Gary Vaynerchuck&#8217;s Vook CRUSH IT! So, I was looking at videos of Tony Hsieh of Zappos, Oprah, Steve Jobs, and Simon Sinek talking about Southwest Airlines. All these companies had something in common &#8211; superior customer service. Gary Vaynerchuck even had an unusually high standard of service. He to touted this idea of &#8220;legacy over currency&#8221; and what your grand children will read about you. So my goal is simple, now, I will out-serve every person in my niche and work with people that believe what I believe. I believe in running an online business so that you will always be able to go wherever you want whenever you want.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.liscarpenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/weight-loss.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-73" title="weight-loss" src="http://www.liscarpenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/weight-loss-300x250.jpg" alt="weight-loss-img." width="300" height="250" /></a></p>
<p>Today was an exciting morning for me. I&#8217;ve been 125 lbs. for the about a year or so and I got there from 150 lbs. which I ballooned to one summer in high school. Forgetting the summer, I was a cross-country and track runner during the school year and stayed somewhere around 127 lbs. while in season.</p>
<p>Now, I had some really unhealthy eating habits when I was in high school. I would rarely eat breakfast and I would skip lunch on most days to avoid puking in practice. All that to say that I eat now more than ever and enjoy it. In 2007, I was in college; I was about 138 lbs., and I was a little insecure because during a speech class a skinny-mini poked fun at my love handles when I wore an exercise top for a speech I was doing.</p>
<p>After that day I started looking around for what I could do to &#8220;get back down to my high school weight&#8221;. The more I read, the more I found out that <span style="text-decoration: underline;">simply cutting your portions in half</span> could aid weight loss. So, I tried it. Beats not eating, right? <strong>It was this one change that caused me to drop to 125 lbs. and stay there.</strong></p>
<p>In 2008, I realized I had a problem. My sister had bought me a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009V1YPU?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=worlmissnow-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0009V1YPU">body fat monitor scale</a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=worlmissnow-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B0009V1YPU" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> for my birthday. So, I realized soon that although my weight was down my body fat was high. I had done many ridiculous diets like the juice diet, the soup diet, the vegan diet, and the eat once a day diet, so I knew that <span style="text-decoration: underline;">these diets were &#8220;MAKING ME FAT!&#8221;</span> Diets without adequate protein will cause your body to eat your muscles so you get fatter although you lost weight.</p>
<p>At the end of 2009 I got a little <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000VICRO8?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=worlmissnow-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B000VICRO8">cardio machine</a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=worlmissnow-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B000VICRO8" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> and started to do about 10 minutes of cardio a day to keep my energy levels up and tone my calves. I also started avoiding eating too many complex carbs and sugars. My goal now is to get to 20% body fat (that&#8217;s low for a woman, not a man). I&#8217;m at 21%, but here&#8217;s the exciting part; before I started eating less rice and potatoes <span style="text-decoration: underline;">I was at 26% body fat</span>. <strong><em>That was only a month ago.</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>Confession:</strong> I wasn&#8217;t exercising much at all to lose weight, don&#8217;t like it that much.</p>
<p><strong>So This is What Worked for Me:</strong></p>
<p><strong>1)</strong> Cut Meals in Half</p>
<p><strong>2)</strong> Don&#8217;t Eat White Things</p>
<p>Have to give credit to Tim Ferriss for giving some great <a title="4-Hour Body" href="http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2007/04/06/how-to-lose-20-lbs-of-fat-in-30-days-without-doing-any-exercise/" target="_blank">4-Hour Body</a> tips in his blog about losing weight because although I&#8217;ve never been overweight reading <span style="text-decoration: underline;">his posts really helped</span> me get <strong>&#8220;fat loss&#8221;</strong> not weight loss down.</p>
