Defying President Bush and the leaders of both parties the US House rejected a $700 billion economic rescue plan in a revolt that rocked the US Capitol, sent markets plunging and left top lawmakers groping for a resolution.

So by the time that bell sounded again on the NY Stock Exchange $1.2 trillion had vanished from the United States stock market. The broad market, as measured by the Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index, plunged almost 9 percent, its third-biggest decline since World War II. The Dow Jones industrial average fell nearly 778 points, or 7 percent, to 10,365.

However, please recognize that the defeat of this massive bailout is actually something Ron Paul was highly in favor of. If the bill had passed, it would have provided short term relief that would have blown up from $700 billion initially allocated to trillions of dollars and the further dilution of the dollar could truly have been catastrophic as it would have continued to accelerate the massive decline of the dollar.

So, despite the record stock market losses please understand and realize that this is a GOOD SIGN. Like many medical therapies sometimes you just get worse before you get better and this is a classic example.

The REAL danger here, and believe you me it is a danger, is to become afraid. Once you step into the powerful emotion of fear and you put your intention on what you don’t want the consequence is you activate powerful natural forces that tend to provide you with whatever thoughts you are attaching strong emotions to. This is clearly something you want to avoid doing, so stop being afraid of the economy.

It is important for you and your family to CANCEL any negative thoughts about this. I simply yell “Cancel!” and imagine a large red diagonal line going through any image I don’t want. The more you and others do that, the more likely we will all reap the benefits of this postive focus and intention.

Hang in there and CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON WHAT YOU WANT, and the real key is to attach as much emotion to what you want. Simply wishing or thinking about it is not sufficient. You have to attach strong emotions to what you want.

If you need more reasons why you should be happy about this just watch Ron Paul’s videos and he will give you all the details as why this “bad news” is actually really great news in disguise.

Although a little outside the scope of my normal bogging, the economy is on all of our minds and definitely affects businesses, online and off. That’s why I decided to reprint this article from Dr. Mercola’s Newsletter. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

It shows me once again it’s a real shame we have to pick between two idiots, when we could have someone like Ron Paul in the White House.

God Help Us,

Well, I finished with the 30 Day Challenge, and I’m really impressed (but flat wore me out)!

I got a new business started, an affiliate business. Not exactly what I was planning on, but Ed didn’t have us create a product this year. That kind of bummed me out because I was planning on having my own product when we got done. He’s always had you create a product in the past.

This year he focused on traffic. Mostly Web 2.0 stuff, and it worked like a champ. Within 10 days of getting my site up, I had four out of ten spots on the first page of Google for my main keyword. I also had two spots on the second page. In 10 days, with a brand new url! I thought that was pretty cool.

Now the plan is to test the affiliate program, and if it does well create my own product in the same niche.

It blew me away to see what I got accomplished in 30 days. I learned a bunch of new concepts, how to use a bunch of new software, researched and decided on a niche, created the entire business, and got it up and running with free traffic flowing to it, all in 30 days (31 actually).

The entire course is fantastic. Ed and Dan had taught it in the past and once again did a wonderful job teaching. But I was really impressed with Guru Bob (Rob Sommerville). I’m not sure if he taught in the past or not, it was the first time I saw him teach. But, I was really impressed.

I was a corporate trainer for seven years so I’m pretty tough to impress when it comes to teaching. But Rob definitely impressed me by being well prepared and speaking to his audience on their level. That’s tough to do when the material is second nature to you. He’s a natural. Kudos to Guru Bob!

The course is still available online and will be all year. I’d highly recommend it. If you’re brand new and want to start a business of your own, you can’t beat it. You can have your own business up and running in 30 days… For Free.

If you have some experience or even if you’re a seasoned veteran, there’s more advanced material for you too. It’s well worth taking the course just to see some of the new software they came up with and how they’re using it.

Great job guys.

Now that I’m back in business, I’ll start posting the Jeff Johnson videos again. I need a refresher on creating a product. Looks like I’m still going to need to do that :-(

Talk soon.

Here’s to your success,

Tim
