There's a correlation between those people who take responsibility for their lives and those who are successful in all aspects.
There's an equivalent match for those people who don't achieve and those who point the finger at everything and everyone else for their condition.

James Brausch has been described as needing a warning label:-
"Expect tough love, without the love."
And it's true, he doesn't pull his punches. I've been a regular visitor of his since the middle of 2007, and he's given me many a chuckle with some of his offhand comments about "losers", "whiners", "98%ers", and more recently "wedding favors" and "the coolest scammer on the planet".
You can see it's really hit a chord with people. I'm amazed at how useful everybody is finding this tiny little product I've done (a default ebook layout). It seems that by accident, I've stumbled upon something big.
It really is a simple idea, and the surprising thing is that no-one's ever done it before. But isn't that the way with a lot of the really good ideas? They're just simple things that are useful to people.
A lot of it is down to a few small organisational changes you need to make. Do it now, and reap the reward for the rest of the year. It's not a big deal, but for most people it's something they never get round to doing.
If you've ever brain stormed anything before, you'll find it second nature to you.
As Alex says, when he was shown how to do this by his business coach he thought "what a load of old cobblers", but he found it really does work.

…after about a month, not only do I have a product page that's pulling in a moderate amount of interest, I also have some market research that tells me there's a real interest in this kind of product (211 downloads with little real promotion).
So what if I put together a number of other default ebook formats using colour, graphics, different sizes etc. and then offered that package for sale? How much could I charge for that?
Maybe I won't do it at all, or maybe I won't do it for several months, I have a lot of other ideas in motion. So, if you want to go do it before me, there's the idea, go right ahead. I wouldn't expect a cut of the money, but a link to this internet business blog would be nice.

…social proof is often used in the form of testimonials. If a good number of people say something is the best thing since sliced bread, then it makes sense for us to believe it.
It's one of the short cuts we take when we go through the decision making process when we're unsure.
Don't believe me? Imagine this as a final example…
You pull off the highway part way through taking a long journey, as you're hungry and you're looking for something to eat. You see two diners, and both look equally good. However, one has a good number of cars parked outside and you can see people moving around inside, the other car park is empty and you don't see any people.
Which one would you choose?

I'm going to let you know the simplest way of getting hold of thousands of dollars worth of products for free. Actually, if you've watched the video on the SmartDD.com home page, or read the text underneath it, you already know how to do it.
Just go to del.icio.us and type in the product name you're interested in getting a free copy of, the shorter or more unusual the name, the better, e.g. smartdd.
If the product is unprotected and is either popular or has been around a while, SOMEONE at SOME TIME will have bookmarked the download page. Hilarious isn't it?

There is no way ANYONE who doesn't want to, has to "hold down" a job any more. The world has changed, and is changing even more every day. Cottage industries have sprung up yet again as we go through another communication revolution.
Whole business models and new organisations have come into being to service the needs of people like me. And you too if you want.
From my perspective, I'm becoming one of the New Rich, and I'm not talking about money for money's sake here either. I'm talking about the freedom I now have that I didn't have before.
