Are you not getting the success you are looking for? Do you want to enhance what you have been doing?

Do you want to talk to entrepreneurs who are looking to talk to you (permission marketing?)
then you need to be in the Wright Place!

Online and Offline Marketing

2008-05-03T07:31:00.000-07:00

Image via WikipediaMost successful businesses do a combination of online and offline marketing.
TV is off line marketing. Online video is ONLINE marketing. The Wright Place TV show gives you both.

Most internet marketers to do not bother to tell you how much offline marketing they do. They place ads on TV, newspapers, and magazines.
They send out tons of direct mail, post cards and newsletters. But when they teach the classes they only talk about how they build a list online.

They do not tell you how many people on their email list came from a direct mail list they purchased for a special source.

Let's get real people, you need both. Because so few people are using any kind of advertising , its easy to stand out. Television gives you sight and hearing, a chance to really connect with the viewers.

If you are business to business, then you need to be in the Wright Place- where the eyeballs already are. We are looking for July guests, you are looking for more exposure, maybe we are a match. Let's explore

5 Steps To Living Each Day So Tomorrow Is Easier To Wake Up To

2008-04-28T13:12:00.000-07:00

Image by webchicken via FlickrBy Barbara A. Berg
Life is often seen as being “hard enough”, without putting off everyday tasks and “inner soul missions” that can build up to being large headaches and disillusionment if we don’t stay on top of them both. It also becomes easier when we make a point of being “proactive” rather than “reactive” in our lives, while savoring life itself – moment to moment.

Many of us have found over time, that one of the first ways to getting to what we need to attend to in a “timely” manner, involves first appreciating the many wonderful joys and gifts we do have in every moment rather than rushing to get to the next step. No matter how hard or how much we go after what we believe we need to be and do next, if we do it with the attitude that “everything is wrong in our lives” and we don’t truly first take in and experience the appreciation of what we DO have and who we already ARE BEING, we’ll have a tendency to focus on the negative and miss the “good stuff” that comes along the way.

Learning how to balance and arrange our thoughts, behaviors, and “stop and savor times”, into a beautiful dance of knowing when to “be” and when to “do”, along with recognizing what is “authentically ours” to take on, can actually take the “hard” out of from life, and turn it into the “flow” of it all.

The more you tap into listening to your “inner knowing” about who you are and what you are about, the more you will recognize when to do what, so your life becomes more “wholesome”, or more of what you makes you feel you are “whole” rather than “empty”. Here are 5 steps to help you move in the direction of “getting into flow” and getting out of your own way: (While these can be useful suggestions, they are certainly in no way a replacement for professional help.)

Step 1. Each morning when you awake, direct you initial thoughts away from “Oh no, what do I have to face today?” to “What are between 3 and 5 aspects of my life that I am thankful for right now?” This will help to more positively shift the energy of what is most likely to come your way on any given day. (Will you draw more issues and dilemmas toward you or effective solutions and joy?)

Step 2. Then consider after that, where you are on a scale of 5 to 1, in terms of how much energy and “focus capacity” you have to take on more activity, versus keeping your attention on what you already have on your plate. Being in touch with this will help you know when to say “Yes” and when to say “No”, when requests from others come in.

Being in touch with your number, (which can certainly fluctuate throughout the day), will also help you focus more on what is important to you rather than get distracted by thoughts and ideas you also generate yourself. Here is a “quick check daily self-rating scale” to help you get started. This can apply to any situation you now perceive yourself as having:

5. Life is great! I feel wonderful. I have choice in what I will take on and what I will leave alone.

4. Things are basically “good” for now. There area few tasks and issues I know I need to address before too long, and I know I will.

3. I guess I’m “Okay”, but I know I’m not really satisfied. TODAY, I will take real steps to getting something done that I know has been hanging over my head. I’ll get help with this if I can’t seem to tackle it myself. (There are times when we seem to create or invite circumstances into our lives that actually improve when we ask for help or consultation, so we can access the answers that may be inside us but inaccessible at the moment.)

2. “In over my head and just trying to survive.” – While it may feel like speeding up and doing everything you have to do only faster is the key here, you could be in a place where the solution is quite the opposite from racing around even more. If you are at a 2, literally take a few breaths, (which may be hard to come by), and “reach into a knowing” that actually standing still and stepping back from your circumstance can help you much more in the long run.

Sometimes we are so stuck on a “hamster wheel” either physically or emotionally, that we can’t see how to get off. Often it is difficult to see that the “hamster wheel” we have found ourselves on has got to go or be majorly modified. If confusion about your situation seems to keep you from choosing or deciding which way to go, check out the “Quick-Check Chattering Monkeys Exercise”, which is next after this rating scale.
Certainly, this is no time to take on more than what you are already doing. You most likely would do well to take on less and possibly consider what to do entirely differently to improve your circumstances.

1. Feeling disillusioned and perhaps having no idea what to do. – This is such a “bottom line” and at times even a devastating place to be. Looking back at the times when I’ve been at or “hovered” over this number, I’ve needed to surround myself with those who could support me and also give me help and ways to be and do life differently from how I had been. A “1” is at times feeling like life had just “dropped a bomb” on you, which can happen.

If this is your situation, let others be there for you. It is no time to not let others in because you “don’t want to be a burden”. Not letting others be there is actually a “burden” to them, as it keeps them from using the gifts they have to offer you. – It actually gets in the way of “flow”. – More empowerment to you! – A “1” is actually a place where amazing things can happen in your life, often out of some horrific situations. Keep breathing and ask for what it appears you need. Do not try to do this alone!

Step 3: Throughout the day, as needed, it can be helpful to check in with this “Quick Check Chattering Monkeys Exercise” located on pages 206-207 of my book, “How to Escape the No-Win Trap” (McGraw-Hill – 2004). This exercise can help you take the steps you need to make decisions, figure out what questions to ask, and develop a structure for what to think about when everything just seems like a blur and it’s all just too overwhelming.-

Mikhail Prokhorov - SNOB website and magazine

2008-04-27T08:24:00.000-07:00

Image via WikipediaMikhail Prokhorov is starting an invitation only website for millionaires who are self made called SNOB. He is also starting a magazine of the same title. The magazine is a great way for people who can not get a membership in the website to consume his product. It is also a way for people who ARE in the website to brag about it and get people to ask them about it. Then they can casually drop that they are a member. Americans do not like to talk about how they made their money. It is a cultural thing

but other countries do not feel that way.
Would you belong to SNOB website?
He says it refers to a self made millionaire.
Websters defintion is different.
Can he rebrand the name? Hi is using $150 million to do !

Blade gets 3 years

2008-04-24T17:36:00.000-07:00

Image via WikipediaIts been reported that Wesley Snipes is getting 3 years for tax evasion. Acting is a business . When treated like a business, then it makes money. Making money means handling taxes in a way that is advantageous to yourself. You have to pay taxes but you don't have to pay MORE than you are supposed to. Being famous does not mean you can forget about the basics of business or your brand, The judge felt that he has shown to have a history of contempt for a court, this is why he gave him the 3 years. His brand seemed like it had contempt. Blade would not care about court, so Wesley must not care about it.

This is an excercise in branding and basic business.

Mentors on Amreican Idol

2008-04-23T01:37:00.000-07:00

Image via WikipediaI recently saw a poll that said Mariah Carey was not a good mentor on American Idol. Really, what can you expect? There was no real relationship set up. She came to sing to promote her album. They could all learn from her marketing and showmanship. Once an Idol wins they need to learn how to market themselves. They have to learn how to get the right kind of media. Something other than a mug shot would get great for them.

Even business needs to learn how to get the kind of publicity that makes them money

Southern California Edison Requests Project to Advance Renewable Energy Operations

2008-04-17T03:43:00.000-07:00

ROSEMEAD, Calif., April 10, 2008 – Southern California Edison (SCE) has filed an application with the California Public Utilities Commission to enhance renewable energy operations.

If approved, the Renewable Integration and Advancement (RIA) Program would fund and develop innovative systems and technologies to enhance safe and reliable energy deliveries as more intermittent renewable resources come on line to meet the state’s renewable energy goals. The program would focus on better integrating existing renewable resource technologies, such as wind and solar, with a view toward optimizing the operations of existing transmission and distribution capacity. SCE is seeking authorization of funding over two years for this program.

Although no specific projects yet have been identified, examples of the type of projects the RIA program may consider and enable include:

* Testing and installing energy storage devices to capture surplus energy at night and releasing to the grid during the peak-demand hours of the day when the value of the energy is greater.
* Studying the joint production of solar and wind resources to make the most of renewable transmission lines, such as those in the Tehachapi region of Kern County.
* Testing hardware (such as capacitors, batteries, forecasting and monitoring devices) to improve system communications as new renewables are connected to the system.
* Researching best practices and system designs to improve the growth of California’s renewable resource portfolio.

“This project is an important part of our commitment to reduce carbon emissions and fight climate change. It presents an opportunity to leverage existing infrastructure and proven generating technologies to increase the contribution of renewable resources while enhancing safety and system reliability,” said SCE Vice President Stuart Hemphill, who is in charge of renewable and alternative power. SCE, the nation’s leader in renewable energy with about 16 percent of its total energy portfolio from renewable sources, would serve as the program’s administrator. The RIA program would enable studies or other research efforts, environmental assessments or other technology analysis, field-test technologies and equipment, and provide technical expertise and engineering review. The program will also seek co-funding from federal, state and local agencies.

Are Manners Not Useful on Social Networking Sites?

2008-03-15T14:14:00.000-07:00

this is an actual online transaction on a social networking site:

DR. WRIGHT: wow, this is a quiet group
SAUNDRA JACKSON: Dr. Wright,

It is your job to build value in her product/service so that the referral buys. People spend money on what they want if you can show them that they want to.

Take for instance: Sendoutcards.com. If you send out thank you cards, appreciation cards, birthday cards or anniversary card you should see the value in this system. If you have a burning desire to see your business grow, you have a need and should see the value in the system.

Lets' do a test: go to http://sendoutcards.com/36670, create a free account and send out 2 cards, someone you love, a prospect that you have been courting, reach out to a friend.

Then tell me that this system truly is of not use to you or your business.

Saundra Jackson
Just sharing

DR. WRIGHT: I think send out cards is a wonderful tool. I did not realize that this is what this particular group does.

SAUNDRA JACKSON: This group is about ways to get 50 referrals in 50 days, not just sendoutcards.

How do you get referrals. Do you send out cards in your business.

DR. WRIGHT: no, i offer something very expensive, my referrals come from customers who make sure who they refer can afford adn want what I offer. Sending out a lot of cards would only invite tire kickers who are just curious.

SAUNDRA JACKSON: Actually you are wrong. You only send out cards to the persons that you want to do business with, not every joe blow in the world. You decide who you want to do business with. Usually when we decide who wants and can afford what we have we are wrong. I used to sell online golf games to people. The price was $2400, I targeted country clubs and driving ranges. When they said that they couldn't afford it, I just said maybe you have a friend who can. They normally don't want to look like their friends have a better life than they do.

And remember tire kickers can drive Mercedes
Saundra Jackson, 21 hours ago Report abuse

DR WRIGHT thanks for letting me know I am wrong.

SAUNDRA JACKSON: You are Dr Letitia Wright of the Wright Place TV Show? Who inspire and educate Entrepreneurs worldwide

It's not about showing that you're wrong, it's about sharing other ways to accomplish what you are trying to accomplish.

DR WRIGHT: Thank you and have a great day.

THE LESSON HERE? Do not post if you are Angry, Depressed, Desperate or HIGH
I call it posting with ADDH

remember, simple manners always help you out!

Quitting the Newsletter

2008-03-09T19:07:00.001-07:00

I was thinking about my newsletter and wondering if people really have time to read all the newsletters they sign up for. I want to give you information you need and want without overwhelming you. You already have enough on your plate!

So I am going to try this new way. It's posted on the web, you can read it whenever you want. I'll just send you a note when we have a new post. Will that work for you?
One thing I have learned. When you are working with a strategy and the outcome you want is not happening, after a while you need to try a new strategy. Every quarter I look at one aspect of my business that is not working the way I would like and then work on changing it. That is what they mean when they say, work ON your business not IN your business. You do not always need a consultant to come into your business and help you improve. Sometimes you just need a little time to work on what does not work. Do not work harder with the strategy that does not work, change. Change your strategy.

So, tell me what you are going to work on to change?

Babyface at the Vault

2008-03-06T08:19:00.000-08:00

Kathy King and I went down to check out Babyface in a new concert. But first
A word about the opening act.

This lady was a stunning looker of the Celine style. But her voice, oh my god....
She did this thing where the pitch went somewhere in the range of Dog hearing.
It was her thing because she did it twice in her act.
It was really not good. Forget waterboarding, have her sing like that
and anyone will tell you where the jewels are.

Babyface sang mostly his old stuff, I would have liked to hear some new stuff too but seriously, his body of work is so good, you enjoy those good songs.

When he said he was going to sing his favorite song, I thought it was going to
'ha- ha Eddie Murphy dumped you!"
but it was the song her wrote for his ex-wife when she gave birth to their oldest son Brandon.

I nice song but clearly one that only had meaning for him

He is still a great show, I am going on Itunes to see what the new stuff sounds like.

Do you practice these 5 aspects of Information Marketing?

Bridging Heart and Marketing

2008-02-26T08:38:00.000-08:00

Last weekend I visited my friend Donna Fox, author of FRom Credit Repair to Credit Millionaire in Los Angeles. She was a speaker for Judith adh Jims Heart and Marketing Internet Marketing Conference.

Jim and Judith taught tandem at the end of the seminar, it was great.
I loved the way they present! For people who are spiritual entrepreneurs but need
information on how to market yet stay in their integrity, I think this is it.
I learned a lot from their session. I also met Greg Cesar and Heidi Nabert and Danny Guspie ( they have a podcast I used to listen to!)

You never know what can happen when you get out and meet people.

Also last weekend, Don and Melinda Boyer had their first event at the Real Life Teaching Center in Whittier. I was also a speaker at that event.
It's a lovely facility, looks very nice and smells great in there all the time.

DVD's of that event will be available soon, so I'll let you know.

You need to invest in your education every quarter at least. Many people go to several events each month. Set aside some money to go and to events, network and
learn! Thats how you grow a business.
