For most consumers, there's no question that value is the most important element in terms of making any buying decision during the recession time.

Sacrifice? What Do I Have To Sacrifice To Succeed?

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 11:54:54 -0400

Speaking about sacrificing, it inspired me to touch on that a bit. It's very easy to get the perception when you jump online that everyone is making money. It seems like all you have to do is to sign up for any program, which promises you a good fortune if you follow their plan and give them lots of money to get started. There are a lot of people making money online, which is true. But there also a common factor with all these people, which is you will never know what is in there when you read a sales page! Let me repeat that, you will never know what makes people successful online by just reading a sales page! You must understand if you read a sales page in which it suggests that you can become rich by sending them some money, please don't be fooled. Example, you probably already see - out there some sales page may even outline how people have taken advantage of this or that system and it worked for them, in return they made millions by applying these secret techniques. They may even give you fancy testimonials. **End Summary** Topics: online success]]> succeed]]> make money online]]> money online]]> sacrifice]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Ann Liu, a certified professional Internet marketer, a social, content development and business strategy infopreneur at MarketingbyAnn .

How To Be Genuinely Happy

Tue, 26 May 2009 00:00:00 -0400

Life isn't the sweetest candy. Sometimes, when I feel like the world is just too heavy, I look around and find people who continued to live fascinating and wonderful lives. And then thoughts come popping into my mind like bubbles from nowhere - "How did their life become so adorably sweet? How come they still can manage to laugh and play around despite a busy stressful life?" Then I pause and observed for awhile, I figured out that maybe, they start to work on a place called 'self'. How does one become genuinely happy? The step one is to love yourself. My theology professor once said that "loving means accepting." To love oneself means to accept that you are not a perfect being, but behind the imperfections must lie a great ounce of courage to be able to discover ways on how to improve your repertoire to recover from our mistakes. Genuine happiness also pertains to contentment. **End Summary** Topics: genuinely happy]]> happy]]> happiness]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Ann Liu, a certified professional Internet marketer and author of Online Profiting .
