“Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for he is faithful that promised;” (Heb 10:23) “For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man sees, why does he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.” (Rom 8:24-25)

Many of you today are in a crisis of faith. You stand at the edge of what you can see, gazing into a hope that God has deposited in your heart. Between you and that hope is a chasm of seeming impossibility. There is no known way across that chasm. Your natural eye sees no possible path, but God always has a path prepared for those who trust in Him.

The word for “faith” in Hebrews 10:23 above is the same word translated as “hope” in Romans 8:24-25. If what you need is in plain sight, it doesn’t require faith to obtain it, but if what you see is something that is actually unseen, it requires faith/hope to bring it into the realm of the seen. For most of us, we see the prize afar off, even though it doesn’t exist yet in the natural, but what we don’t see is the path or the step by step plan to attain the prize.

Many times God doesn’t give you the step by step plan because He is going to be doing a lot of things behind the scenes that you will never comprehend and could never execute on your own. So He simply asks you to take a step of faith into the unknown, then another and another until you reach the other side. It requires the ability to trust Him when you can’t see where that step will take you, but you take it anyway. You must believe. Make no mistake. The fear is real. The risks are real. But sometimes it seems that only when we are willing to lose everything do we gain everything. To get a good visual of what this looks like, take a look at this compelling 2-minute video clip and have a faith-filled day!

Click here to register now.

Hello Friend,

A quick update regarding the webinar this coming Tuesday night with Debra Thompson Roedl. We’ve already had an overwhelming response to this event and are working on adding phone lines to make room for everyone.  There is a limit, however, to the number of people that the webinar system can accommodate.  So… my recommendation is that you reserve your spot right away!

You’ve already seen some of the well-known names of people that Debra has worked with, so you can probably guess that they spend enormous amounts of money for her time. This is a very rare opportunity to get access to Debra and her information marketing strategies without spending thousands of dollars. I urge you to make the most of this opportunity and join us for this event!

Also, we’ve had some inquiries about whether or not there will be a replay of this event available. Our team is working to make sure that the entire event will be recorded for future playback, but I can’t be certain of the exact timeframe. But I will say this: when the replay becomes available, the people who have registered will be the first ones to find out about it.  So, even if the scheduling doesn’t work perfectly for you, please register for the event anyway so we can keep you informed.

If you haven’t already done so, take a moment and reserve your spot right now.  It’s absolutely free.

I hope you have a great weekend!

Blessings,

Michael

P.S. We also managed to get our hands on a short video clip of Debra speaking at a recent event. Click here to watch it!

Hello Friend,

I’m sure by now you’ve had the opportunity to read some of this week’s guest content from Debra Thompson Roedl.  You know by now that she has helped build multi-million-dollar information marketing businesses for lots of folks — including some of the well-recognized names we’ve already mentioned, as well as lots of other folks in specialized niches whose names you wouldn’t recognize.

You may be asking yourself, “Is this something I can do?” or, “Would this help build my business?”  And while I definitely have an opinion on that, I think the best way for you to answer this question would be to hear what Debra has to say next Tuesday evening.

When we recently conducted our survey, a surprising percentage of our subscribers indicated an interest in locating new business opportunities.   Another substantial percentage expressed a need for help in starting or building their business.  Perhaps you are one of those people. Or perhaps you fall into the these or the other categories — such as the ones needing help promoting their businesses — that would be helped by “Information Marketing.”

Either way, Debra is a mentor who helps people create and build wealth.  She has a passion for working with people whose heart is to establish and build the Kingdom of God.  She brings many years of experience and some of the very finest expertise in the information marketing business to the table.  My primary reason for introducing you to her is because you’ve been asking for expertise like hers.

You owe it to yourself to at least attend this event and see if what she has to share resonates with you or not.

We’ve had a lot of interest in this webinar already, and there are a limited number of registrations available, so I urge you to sign up right away — even if you’re not sure about your schedule.

Click here to reserve your spot.

I look forward to talking with you then!

Blessings,

Michael

The reason I have asked Debra to post a few blogs on our site is because I know how phenomenally successful she has been. Not only do some of the biggest names in business call upon her for marketing assistance like Mark Victor Hansen, co-author of Chicken Soup for the Soul, Robert Allen, author of Nothing Down and Multiple Streams of Income, Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad and even Donald Trump!

But when she speaks at internet marketing conferences all over the world she communicates with such humility that people are drawn not only to her and her message but also to her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She has made her mark in the secular arena being a bright light in a dark world and I have asked her to share her light with all of us so we in turn could light up the sphere we are called to work in. What you are about to read in this blog is just a tiny sample of what she will be sharing next Tuesday, July 1st at 9:00 PM EDT. If you have ever wanted to have access to top level internet marketer who also has a love for Jesus Christ, be sure to set an hour aside next Tuesday evening. Now, here’s Debra…

How To Make Sure Your Business FAILS! (Part 3 of 3)

Hi welcome back to my mini-training on “How To Make Sure Your Business Fails.” If you haven’t read my posts from Monday and Tuesday, go back and do that now because they lay the foundation for this next bit of key information I want to share with you and that is building your Marketing Funnel through Information Marketing. This is how to keep your marketing continuous while building a relationship with your customer and so they come back for more and more.

Your greatest opportunity to ensure your business does not fail and instead it succeeds… is to generate other opportunities for your customer to buy from you. The easiest way to do that is with Information Marketing.

First let me define what Information Marketing is…

Information Marketing is all about publishing your ideas, knowledge and information and selling it in the form of information products. You turn your ideas into Wealth… and let me tell you there is a lot of money you can make in Information Marketing.

Did you know that last year 145 Million people spent over $108 BILLION DOLLARS Online! Where did all that money go? To Information Marketing. You see I don’t care what your business is… whether you sell products or services. When it comes to the Internet it is all first Information. From there you sell to your target market.

Types of Information Products…

One of the greatest opportunities you have right now is to make money with information you know by providing solutions… more solutions for your customers. There are all types of solutions and they can be provided in a variety of different deliver methods. I call them Clicks and Bricks. Here let me briefly show you an example of what you could provide to your customers…

Imagine training your customers and taking them to the next level with your information!

Whether you are in business and want to accelerate your revenue by adding information products… or you want to build an Information Marketing business as another revenue stream… then I invite you to attend my webinar on July 1, 2008 at 9:00 PM EDT. All the details will be sent out to you shortly so be on the look out. I’ve got so much to teach you about this amazing business and how you can make a ton of money. Be sure to have a pen and paper ready when I teach… because I will be teaching you some key marketing principles from my BULLSEYE Marketing Accelerator System. I’m looking forward to teaching you and helping you to make a difference on Tuesday, July 1st!

Watch this space for registration information very soon!

Have you heard of Mark Victor Hansen, co-author of Chicken Soup for the Soul? How about Robert Allen, author of Nothing Down and Multiple Streams of Income… maybe even Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad… okay come on here… One more: how about Donald Trump, you know that real estate guru? Well.. what do these folks all have in common? It is our guest Debra Thompson Roedl! She has either worked behind the scenes on the inside circle for these millionaires or she has positioned her clients to work with them. Either way the results speak for themselves and that is what you should pay close attention to. Because you see… the information that Debra shared in her post yesterday and is continuing today is exactly what she does for these millionaires to take them to the next level.

Let me break this System down here for you briefly…

Step 1 - READY… Plan: You see to be successful in your business you must get “Ready” first… meaning you must PLAN.  And, I’m not talking about just any type of planning… what I’m referring to is STRATEGIC PLANNING.

If You Fail To Plan… You Are Planning To Fail!

It amazes me to this day when I am brought on board to help someone with their business how they have neglected to perform this one key step… It begs the question, “If you don’t have a plan and know what you are shooting for… how are you going to know if you hit your target?”

Step 2 - AIM… Research: It is not enough to strategically plan your business you must research your target market and niche to determine the answer to two key questions:

1. Is It A Viable Market? Meaning can you make money in it?… is there too much competition?… is there an opportunity for you?… can you differentiate yourself in the market?… etc.
2. What Is The Need? Before you go into any market, you first determine what is the greatest need in the market place… what do the people NEED?  In business it is your job to fulfill the needs of your market.  It is not what YOU want… it is what THEY want.

Step 3 - FIRE… Produce: Based upon foundation you built in Steps 1 and 2, now you can start building your business and produce the SOLUTION for your market’s needs.  Your solutions could come in the form of products, services, information, trainings, etc.

Step 4 - BULLSEYE! It is easier and more cost effective to sell a solution now to someone in need than to create a problem, convince someone it is a problem and then try to fix it with your products and/or services.  When you provide YOUR Solution (your product and/or service) you will hit the bullseye of your target market and make sales.   More sales = more money in your pocket.

BOTTOMLINE: Marketing is the key to success and making money in your business.  If you want to hear more about my System and how it can take you to the next level… even how you can use it to generate additional streams of revenue for your business, then I invite you to listen in on a special webinar training that Michael has graciously invited me to teach to you.

OK folks, mark your calendar right now: the webinar with Debra is going to be next Tuesday, July 1st at 9:00 PM EDT. More details on the training will be provided to you as we get closer. I’ll tell you this right now, though: it will be presented absolutely FREE. Watch your inbox for updates. In the meantime, don’t miss tomorrow’s message from Deb, as she goes into your Marketing Funnel and how to build a relationship with your customer so they buy from you time and time again.

Hello Friend,

Before you sink your teeth into today’s excellent content from our guest, I want to quickly call to your mind our survey from a couple of weeks ago. Thank you once again to all of you who participated. I told you then that you would be helping to steer where things go. Today’s message is a direct result of your requests for more information about promoting your business, growing your revenue, and also about locating business opportunities!

The list of people that Debra Thompson Roedl has worked with is replete with names you would recognize were I to mention them. She hasn’t just contributed to their success… in many cases, she is responsible for their success. We’ve been connected with her for a little over a year now and space does not permit me to go into detail about how significant she is to our advancement. I know you’re going to enjoy hearing from her this week.

How To Make Sure Your Business FAILS! (Part 1 of 3)

I bet that title grabbed your attention and it should!  With today’s economy you need to do everything you can to ensure that your business SUCCEEDS and does not Fail.  But it is up to you to take action and make it happen!

You see most Christian entrepreneurs who are either starting out in their business or well on their way with their business leave out one key ingredient that can make them or break them and cause them to FAIL.  It is called MARKETING.

These entrepreneurs are not typically trained or educated in marketing.  They don’t even understand how essential marketing is to their business in order for them to start, sustain and/or grow their enterprise.  Can you relate?

In fact… because of this lack of knowledge, the typical business owner’s approach to marketing is “Fire… Aim… and then get “Ready”. And guess what?  They don’t hit the Bullseye with this method.  The less you hit your bullseye, the less money you make and you know what that means… it is just a matter of time before your business fails.  Then what are you going to do?

To ensure success in your business you have to create a new mindset and that is…

Marketing Is A Continuous Process!

Marketing is the foundation of your business and everything else that you do is built upon this foundation.  From your products, to your services, to your customers… marketing is in every aspect of your business and it is a constant process.

When it comes to Marketing your business… I have created a specific System to make sure you succeed and do not fail! It is called the BULLSEYE Marketing Accelerator System.  With this system your approach to your business is Ready, Aim, Fire and then BULLSEYE!

OK folks, I hope today’s message from Debra has served to whet your appetite for much more!  Don’t miss Part 2 tomorrow, as she drills down into the 4 key steps in the illustration. I know you’re going to benefit from it!

Hello Friend,

I received this e-mail just now from Jeremy over at ChristianBusinessDaily.com.  I know how much Zig Ziglar has meant to many of you over the years and I didn’t want you to miss out on this opportunity.

Be sure to send your personal note to Zig today!

Blessings,

Michael,

—Forwarded Message—

Dear Michael,

I got an email yesterday that really inspired me.

It was from Tom Ziglar — the son of legendary speaker, salesman, author and Christian Zig Ziglar. He was updating folks on Zig’s condition, since the terrible fall down a flight of stairs he had a while back.

Yesterday’s email included a short video from Zig, talking to his daughter.

I can’t help but be inspired every time Zig speaks, even as he deals with his health and memory issues. His outlook on life is contagious, and he’s helped thousands — hundreds of thousands — of people over the years.

While watching the video, I was reminded of a set of Zig Ziglar CDs I have on my shelf here at the office. We used to promote them on CBD. The program was called “Christian Motivation for Daily Living” and it features Zig — at his prime — sharing motivational material that’s grounded in biblical truth.

I had forgotten just how powerful and motivational these programs are — one of his best programs ever I believe, because it’s targeted SPECIFICALLY to Christian leaders.

In honor of Zig Ziglar - and all that he has accomplished - I want to invite you to order this program today. If you already own it, you should buy a copy for a young colleague who could benefit from Zig’s wisdom and motivation. I’m going to order another copy too.

If you don’t own it — perhaps you missed the promotions we did a few years ago and weren’t aware of Zig’s impact — then you really should consider buying all three volumes. When you do the math, it’s kind of like getting Zig’s amazing teaching for about $11/hour. A no brainer!

You can learn more about the program here.

Be sure to order 1, 2, 3 or 10 copies of this amazing program today! We’ll ship them out right away, and you’ll find them to be a motivational blessing that you can pop in your CD player and listen to on your way to the office, or while traveling on vacation this summer. Your order will support the ministries of Zig Ziglar AND ChristianBusinessDaily at the same time.

God’s Blessings to You This Weekend,

P.S. I almost forgot the most important part! Next week, we will send a personal letter to Zig from all of us at Christian Business Daily — thanking him for the impact he’s had on us, and we’ll report on how many of our readers have ordered — and reordered this classic program in his honor. If you want to post a personal note of encouragement to Zig - you can include that in the comments on the order form, and we’ll make sure your comments are included.

We read in Numbers 13 and 14 a most disturbing story. It’s about “seeing.” Moses had sent twelve spies into the Promised Land and they all saw the same thing with their physical eyes. But with their spiritual eyes, they saw something completely different. Ten of the men saw land that “eats its inhabitants.” Those that weren’t eaten, were of great stature and those that weren’t of great stature were even bigger! They were giants! The ten men saw themselves as grasshoppers by comparison. Can you hear the exaggeration? Land that eats its inhabitants? Grasshoppers by comparison?

The children of Israel listened to the bad report and immediately they wanted to go back into slavery where Pharaoh hated them as did all Egyptians and where they were treated with great cruelty and they began to pick a new leader who would take them back and negotiate something with Egypt! Can you imagine?

But what did Joshua and Caleb see? When they looked at the giants, they saw bread! Provision! They say fields that were already planted, houses that were already built, barns that were already full. They were excited and knew that if God delighted in them, He would bring them into a land that flows with milk and honey. The only condition was to not rebel against the Lord. Apparently that was too much and they rebelled. What form was that rebellion? It was simply unbelief. God let them die in the wilderness, never entering into the promise He had for them.

So my question to you today is, what do you see? Are you seeing God’s perspective or the enemies’ vision? Are you going to believe God or your lying eyes? Yes, sometimes your eyes will deceive you. Here’s a clue… whenever you are faced with an adversity, wait on God until He shows you the opportunity. Then believe God and secure your opportunity. Have a blessed day my friends.

I listened to a man named Mickey Robinson share how he came to know God. He was killed in a plane accident and saw Hell and then Heaven. His story is gripping and compelling and well worth the nearly ten minutes it will take you to watch this video. One of the things about his story that helped me was how in an instant he knew things. There was no “one hour study class.” There were no hindering, cumbersome words. There was just a knowing. And it was instantaneous. He saw and he knew - all at once.

Here’s the good news, you don’t have to die to experience that. God causes me to “see” things in an instant. It’s more like a flash. Often times a single picture flashes in my mind and I instantly know why He showed me the picture, what it means and how to explain it to someone else. When I try to share that flash of revelation with others it may take several minutes to communicate what I caught in a flash of light.

I think of it as a better way of seeing. It’s something I didn’t use to have at my disposal. As I seek Him daily, I find I get more flashes, and more little movie clips that play in my mind to teach me eternal truths that greatly help me and I in turn pass them on to you. Many of those flashes teach me business lessons or solve problems that I’ve been struggling with for too long. I thought this video might awaken a desire to see what you would otherwise miss. Give yourself a treat today and watch this nearly ten minute video, then pass it on to your friends and loved ones to see.

What do you see when you read about the Tabernacle of Moses? Most see a story of something totally irrelevant to today. Many do see the parallel story of salvation being told by the seven stations of service the priests were to offer. But few there be that also see an incredible message that every business person needs to see. I want to share that with you today. This has been a life saver for me and can be for you too!

Level 1

The outer court was an open air courtyard which was illuminated by natural light. In that courtyard was the altar of sacrifice and the brass laver where the priests washed up after doing the sacrifice. It was also where they were consecrated for further service. The outer court speaks of natural effort where sacrifice, effort and character are both formed and rewarded. It’s a place of mastery and discipline and brings the 30 fold increase.

Level 2

The inner court is the second level. It was closed in, had no windows and was illuminated by oil burning candles which shed light on a table with bread and an altar of incense. The golden lampstand is a picture of the Holy Spirit burning continuously, shedding light on the word of God which is also Jesus, the bread of life. The altar of incense represents the prayers of the saints. In business, this level is where we go beyond practices to principles found in Scripture and apply them to sales. Things like the Negotiating Secrets of Paul, the Motivational Secrets of the Ten Commandments and Creating a Climate of Trust based on the Life of Christ. Level two takes you beyond physical mastery into a place of spiritual leverage and brings the 60 fold return.

Level 3

The Holy of Holies is level three. It was illuminated supernaturally by the presence of God. It speaks of the supernatural. It’s where the flesh bows low before entering. It is a place of total dependence on God. Knowing when God wants you to work hard and develop mastery and when He wants you to simply rest and let Him do the work will make all the difference. It’s the place of the 100 fold return.
