This far into March already, is your business where you wanted
it to be at this point in 2009??
I was about a week behind a couple days into February, so
I have also been putting in 10 and 12 hour days doing some
really serious catching up.
…but I am still about 2 weeks behind 
)….oh well…..
The truth is I’m doing my best, and that’s all that counts – right?
Have you been working on your yearly plan, knocking out
goals left and right?
If you are still not sure about how to go about getting a good
‘Yearly Plan together’, make sure you read my post here:

I myself have been extremely busy over the last 4 weeks.
In preparation for the sales of a line of products of my own
that I will be coming out with later on this year I had a copy
of the JROX Affiliate Management Software installed on my
GoodEbooksCheap.com website.
I still have to finish setting it up, add affiliate programs to it
and become familiar with how it works and what is required
from me but, IN the next week or two I will have a full fledged
affiliate program of my very own.
I’ve been ‘updating’ several of my websites and have also
been planning some additional updating and even some
complete revisions of some of my current websites and their
design.
I have a couple websites I put together 2, 3 and 4 years ago
as information sites, that I am now in the process of changing
into Blogs or membership sites.
Some of them are going to ‘morph’ into Product Sales Sites
as well.
I have also jumped into this “social networking” thing with both
feet by signing up for and developing pages for myself in
MySpace, Facebook and now just the other day Twitter too
-and- I have finished planning out the rest of my year’s ‘new
projects’, of which there are several.
One of the more important lessons that I have learned about
what’s required to be a top Internet Marketer, is that you
must have the ability to ‘go with the flow’ and be able to adapt
to the marketing world as it changes rapidly and advances
forward -and- you must be able to make the necessary
changes to your business quickly.
The next step, or level to attain, is to be one of the precious
few that actually ‘determine the direction the rest of the
Internet Marketing world will follow’.
To be one of the Joe Vitale’s, Tellman Knudson’s, Michael
Cheney’s, Andrew Fox’, Frank Kern’s, Jeff Johnson’s, Mike
Filsaimes, Dan Kennedy’s, Rich Schefren’s, Joel Comm’s,
Andy Jenkins’, Brad Fallon’s, Mark Joyner’s… the Russel
Brunson’s, Armand Morin’s, Matthew Glanfield’s, Alex
Jeffrey’s, Reed Floren’s, John Carlton’s, Mike Dillard’s, Jeff
Paul’s, Gary Halbert’s etc… now that is a grand goal for a
person to have.
Well, that is my goal.
I know I left a lot of ‘big names’ out but, that’s almost the
point I am trying to make. There have been far more than
a hundred ‘big names’ in just the last 10 or 12 years.
Successful millionaire’s – every one of them.
So I truly believe that just about any one of us can become
one of the ‘next big names’ too.
We really can.
Every year there are new names added to the list and with
careful planning, hard work, an open mind and a finger on
the pulse of what is currently taking place in the evolving
marketing world – you can be one of these names yourself.
Any one of us could be next to come up with the next H-O-T
marketing product or idea, one that would propel us forward
to becoming the shining new center of the marketing limelight.
Todd Gross, Liz Tomey, Bill McRea, Alok Jain, Sean Mize,
David Canham, Melvin Perry, Harris Fellman, Guido Nuss-
baum, Jack Sinclair, Jason James, Patrick Chan, Rob Toth,
Jeff Dedrick, Dylan Loh, Lee and Robin Collins, Adeel
Chowdhry…..
Do you recognize any of these names?
These are all members of the “currently up and coming very
quickly in the Internet Marketing world” group.
These people Will ALL be ‘Big Names’ in the very near future,
some of them are already pretty big names and I know I left
out dozen’s of names here….some of which I’m fairly sure are
on my list….some might even email me and ask why I didn’t
mention them –:o)
The truth is – there are just too many of them and that is why
you or I could be one of the next….
I’m already fairly close to working myself up into the last group,
and have many friends that are already there. I see myself ‘s
being there as only an inevitability – maybe even this year.
I also have several friends in the first group, many of whom
weren’t there till the last year or so – and they came from right
where I am right now or from even further obscurity than that.
So, I see examples every day that show me anyone can work
their way up to ‘Guru’ status and wealth.
The truth is…
If you work hard, give 110%, 110% of the time – and most
importantly – never give up — you will reach your goals.
The trick is not giving up till you do!
It’s worked for me – it can work for you too.
…hope this helped!
- Garrett
