			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is the little-known secret that top web site owners know which gives them an unfair advantage over their competition?</p>
<p>Here`s a hint.</p>
<p>It`s not product creation.</p>
<p>It`s not traffic generation.</p>
<p>And it`s not mastering pay-per-click.</p>
<p>All of these are important, but there is one frequently overlooked action that is likely to cut deeply into your profits.</p>
<p>It`s not rocket science, but because you aren`t doing it, your competitors who are doing this have a strong advantage over you.</p>
<p>What I`m about to share with you will revolutionize your business&#8230; and your revenue streams!</p>
<p>And finally, YOU will have the unfair advantage over your competition.</p>
<p><a href="https://infomedia.infusionsoft.com/go/ifp/a830141">https://infomedia.infusionsoft.com/go/ifp/a830141</a></p>
<p>I have a question&#8230;</p>
<p>When was the last time you asked your customers what they wanted from you?</p>
<p>It may seem simple, but you`d be amazed how many businesses are not doing this.</p>
<p>And if you consider the ones who ARE doing it, the majority are doing it poorly.</p>
<p>They use email.   They use their blog.  And many will pay too much for hosted services that charge them on a monthly basis.</p>
<p>Ouch.</p>
<p>Until now, marketers have not had a reliable easy-to-use tool that helps them get this valuable information from their customers.</p>
<p>Instant Form Pro is an easy-to-install and easy-to-use survey and form creation tool that puts the power of reading your customers minds in your own hands!</p>
<p>With no technical expertise necessary and an incredible drag and drop user interface, this software is a marketer`s dream.</p>
<p>Imagine being able to create an unlimited number of surveys, forms, questionnaires, testimonial generators on the fly&#8230; in a matter of minutes.</p>
<p>When you see how Instant Form Pro works, you will undoubtedly respond like the top marketers who have seen this.</p>
<p>You will instantly see how easy it is to use.</p>
<p>In fact, you can download this tool right now.</p>
<p><a href="https://infomedia.infusionsoft.com/go/ifp/a830141">https://infomedia.infusionsoft.com/go/ifp/a830141</a></p>
<p>It`s time you took the upper-hand advantage over your competition.</p>
<p>Beat them to the punch by finding out exactly what your customers want, and then give it to them.</p>
<p>This is the tool you need.</p>
<p>It doesn`t get any easier than this.</p>
<p>But hurry, the first 500 people will receive a special discount.  After that, the price will be going up.</p>
<p><a href="https://infomedia.infusionsoft.com/go/ifp/a830141">https://infomedia.infusionsoft.com/go/ifp/a830141</a></p>
<p>To your massive success!</p>
<p>Greg</p>
<p>P.S. - It is so refreshing to see a tool created with marketers in mind!</p>
<p>This is a must-have for any serious marketer`s toolbox.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes I get really cool emails so I thought I would create a category and share them on my blog.  Hope you enjoy them as much as I did.</p>
<p>Greg </p>
<p>The average age of the military man is 19 years. He is a short haired, tight-muscled kid who, under normal circumstances is considered by<a href="javascript:void(0)" title="military2.JPG" id="file-link-80" class="file-link image">  </a> society as half man, half boy. Not yet dry behind the ears, not old enough to buy a beer, but old enough to die for his country. He never really cared much for work and he would rather wax his own car than wash his father&#8217;s, but he has never collected unemployment either.</p>
<p>He&#8217;s a recent High School graduate; he was probably an average student, pursued some form of sport activities, drives a ten year old jalopy, and has a steady girlfriend that either broke up with him when he left, or swears to be waiting when he returns from half a world away.</p>
<p>He listens to rock and roll or hip -hop or rap or jazz or swing and a 155mm howitzer. He is 10 or 15 pounds lighter now than when he was at home because he is working or fighting from before dawn to well after dusk. He has trouble spelling, thus letter writing is a pain for him, but he can field strip a rifle in 30 seconds and reassemble it in less time in the dark. He can recite to you the nomenclature of a machine gun or grenade launcher and use either one effectively if he must.</p>
<p>He digs foxholes and latrines and can apply first aid like a professional. He can march until he is told to stop, or stop until he is told to march. He obeys orders instantly and without hesitation, but he is not without spirit or individual dignity.</p>
<p>He is self-sufficient. He has two sets of fatigues: he washes one and wears the other. He keeps his canteens full and his feet dry. He sometimes forgets to brush his teeth, but never to clean his rifle. He can cook his own meals, mend his own clothes, and fix his own hurts. If you&#8217;re thirsty, he&#8217;ll share his water with you; if you are hungry, his food. He&#8217;ll even split his ammunition with you in the midst of battle when you run low.</p>
<p>He has learned to use his hands like weapons and weapons like they were his hands. He can save your life - or take it, because that is his job. He will often do twice the work of a civilian, draw half the pay, and still find ironic humor in it all.</p>
<p>He has seen more suffering and death than he should have in his short lifetime.</p>
<p>He has wept in public and in private, for friends who have fallen in combat and is unashamed. He feels every note of the National Anthem vibrate through his body while at rigid attention, while tempering the burning desire to &#8217;square-away&#8217; those around him who haven&#8217;t bothered to stand, remove their hat, or even stop talking.</p>
<p>In an odd twist, day in and day out, far from home, he defends their right to be disrespectful. Just as did his Father, Grandfather, and Great-grandfather, he is paying the price for our freedom. Beardless or not, he is not a boy.</p>
<p>He is the American Fighting Man that has kept this country free for over 200 years.</p>
<p>He has asked nothing in return, except our friendship and understanding.</p>
<p>Remember him, always, for he has earned our respect and admiration with his blood. And now we even have women over there in danger, doing their part in this tradition of going to War when our nation calls us to do so. As you go to bed tonight, remember this shot. . A short lull, a little shade and a picture of loved ones in their helmets.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tomorrow, here in the U.S., we&#8217;ll be electing another President.</p>
<p>I know some people will be glued to CNN watching the results roll in to figure out what it means for their future. Concerned that if the &#8216;wrong&#8217; candidate wins - it&#8217;ll spell certain financial doom and gloom.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.gregwriter.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/yanik_silver.jpg" alt="Yanik Silver - MAverick Business INsider" align="left" border="0" height="105" hspace="10" vspace="10" width="87" />Guess what? I won&#8217;t be one of them&#8230;nor will Yanik Silver, a friend, incredible marketer and fellow investor.</p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>Quite simply because we&#8217;ve figured out how to write our own ticket regardless of what&#8217;s going on with the crazy economy, the next person in the White House or any external factor!</p>
<p>It starts from figuring out how to create profits on demand (just like turning on a tap). Then that gives you freedom to do what you want and when you want. And it expands to how you live your life and what meaning you bring to others.</p>
<p>This is what Yanik calls his &#8220;Maverick Philosophy for Entrepreneurs&#8221; - It&#8217;s a way to make more, have more fun and give back more! It&#8217;s his &#8216;Maverick Manifesto&#8217;!</p>
<p>Want to see what he&#8217;s talking about?</p>
<p>He&#8217;s put up a free 60+ minute video right here:&#8212;-&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; <a href="http://www.maverickbusinessinsider.com/go?p=gwriter&amp;w=mbiweb" title="Yanik Silver Maverick Business Insider">Maverick Business Insider</a> &lt;&lt;&lt;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>As an ENTREPRENEUR you need to continue to learn to move your company forward, and this video can do just that.  Don&#8217;t hesitate!!!! Go watch this video now.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Greg Writer<br />
Your Business &amp; Marketing Coach at least for today <img src='http://www.gregwriter.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>P.S. Yes, I know, I know, the word &#8220;Maverick&#8221; has been stomped on with the election but it makes sense here because you get to write your own rules. You get to be the person that decides how to play the &#8216;game&#8217; and that&#8217;s being a renegade&#8230;someone who&#8217;s NOT going to cower in the corner while the media tells us the sky is falling.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;d like to join us - you&#8217;ll want to watch this powerful video: <a href="http://www.maverickbusinessinsider.com/go?p=gwriter&amp;w=mbiweb" title="Yanik Silver Maverick Business Insider">Maverick Business Insider</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wow! What an experience I have to share with you. I just returned from Vancouver where I attended the &#8220;Unleash the Power Within&#8221; <img border="0" vspace="10" align="right" width="180" src="http://www.gregwriter.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/firewalking.jpg" hspace="10" height="143" />Conference with the amazing Tony Robbins. The entire experience was incredible. On day one I was able to overcome my fear and walk on fire! Fear is the only thing stopping us from moving forward and I was able to move over 2,000 degree Fahrenheit Hot Coals! And that was just Day One. The conference got more powerful each day after that for a full four days. Intense!</p>
<p><img border="0" vspace="10" align="left" width="400" src="http://www.gregwriter.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/putting_out_coals-400.jpg" hspace="10" height="267" style="width: 276px; height: 172px" />Tony Robbins himself is an incredible individual. I have devoted much of my &#8220;free&#8221; time to studying the psychology of Self Improvement and this weekend was worth every minute and dollar spent. Tony Robbins says &#8220;There is always room in your life for thinking bigger, pushing limits and imagining the impossible&#8221; and that&#8217;s exactly where I am now, &#8220;Imagining the impossible&#8221; - I thought I had a pretty good outlook on life and didn&#8217;t even realize that I could be holding myself back but now I am changing my beliefs that have been holding me back , so Watch Out! Here comes the New and Improved Greg Writer!</p>
<p>If you have any questions about my experience, I would love to share with you</p>
<p>Have an outstanding day!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I remember when I was a owner of a brokerage firm back when the market crashed in October 1987 and I also remember the Savings and Loan debacle too. <br />
If I remember correctly there were about 800 banks that failed and the market dropped 20% on that gloomy day!</p>
<p>I lost over a million dollars in stock worth that day!  I would have jumped out of the window but I was only on the 2nd floor.<br />
But I also remember that our market recovered in 15 months.<br />
 <br />
Now don&#8217;t get me wrong I can’t believe what is going on!!  It is amazing to me that firms like Bear Sterns, Lehmann brothers, etc. have gone belly up, but I prefer to maintain a very positive outlook.</p>
<p>I think that this will really help the entrepreneurs, because I believe that regardless of who gets elected capital gains tax will be reduced, for sure if McCain is elected and maybe with Obama.  McCain came out today and said he would lower capital gains tax from 15% to 7%!  Yea baby that’s what we need!</p>
<p>It only makes sense that they (either candidate) would lower capital gains to inspire investing which causes job creation.<br />
I also feel really strong that this was the straw that broke the camels back and the American public is going to clean house on some of the crooked politicians and we are going to hold them to a higher standard. </p>
<p>I know, even as I write this, it sounds like a pipe dream, but I like the glass is half full approach.</p>
<p>We can only pray, have faith and believe!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I can not remember another election year where I was so caught up n the race&#8230;.and so opinionated, so I even created a category on my blog to share my thoughts and opinions. </p>
<p>I wish I liked to type because I could give you an ear full, but I don&#8217;t so I won&#8217;t. </p>
<p>Well I am very happy that Governor Palin held her own against Senator Biden tonight.</p>
<p>Joe Biden was very good, I like him more that Obama,  but this debate was not about Biden.  This whole debate was about Sarah Palin and could she redeem herself after the her poor showing with Katie Curic.  And as a registered Republican I was very happy to see her go toe to toe for 90 minutes with a 30+ veteran!!</p>
<p>She held her ground, showed incredible confidence an related to the average American, and the exit polling has already shown that she knocked the balll out of the park with independents.</p>
<p>I am confident that this will give the GOP a bump in the polls and some renewed energy that should give McCain yet another chance to surge ahead of Barack Obama coming into the election.  Yes I think he has had more than one chance to put this election away but did not take advantage of the opportunities.</p>
<p>And yes I know Monday morning quarterbacking is easy, so I will abstain from a rant on what he should have done, and making myself look like a genius :)  but my hat is off to Sarah Palin for NOT loosing the race tonight!</p>
<p>Your comments are welcome.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wow can you believe what is going on, the market down over 700 points! </p>
<p>I remember when I was a stockbroker and there was this term that we used, &#8220;blue chip stocks&#8221; and these were the stocks that were safe and the what a &#8220;prudent&#8221; money manager would have included in your portfolio.  Today I am not sure this term even exists or the stocks that represented the blue chip term?  Think about, when was the last time you heard that term? </p>
<p>Dramatic losses in stocks like Bear Sterns, Bank Of America, Lehman, etc etc etc etc etc in absolutely unbelievable.</p>
<p>The terms we now hear all over TV and radio are closer to a world/market that we could loose faith in:  Greed, Liars, Thieves&#8230; just to name a few.</p>
<p>I for one, have not lost faith in capitalism, free enterprise and our markets!  The bailout plan that was proposed is one I was not in favor of.  I am not sure how we get out of this mess but I do think that we need to let the market correct itself and at best provide insurance to stabilize the markets.</p>
<p>The blame game is going on everywhere, and rightfully so, but the markets will adjust an get better than they were before, because that is how free enterprise and capitalism works.</p>
<p>Anyway I thought I would write a few of my thoughts and ask you yours!  Let me know what you think and if you think this bail out plan should happen or what you like or don&#8217;t like about the plan.</p>
