A
Realistic Look at High-Paid Jobs

By
Michael Masterson

If
you are lucky enough to land a high-paying job, expect it to
be tough. Prepare yourself mentally for the work involved -
not just longer-than-average hours but also greater-than-average
stress.

Plan
to work hard in the beginning and to keep working hard as long
as you are employed. Keeping a highly remunerative position
requires above-average performance and endurance. You can't
expect to rest on your laurels. From management's perspective,
it's not about what you've given the company in the past but
what you are contributing
now.

If
you expect the work to be hard, you won't panic when you find
out it is. If you know you will have to outperform most of
your colleagues, you won't feel stressed when asked to do so.

Being
happy with a job is much more about your expectations than
it is about the job itself. If, however, you do find yourself
hating your job and you can't shake yourself free of the bad
feeling, go ahead and quit. But don't quit until you have found
another job that is better. "Better" doesn't mean
better paid. It means a job that offers you a better chance
to grow and develop.

In
looking for a replacement job, don't worry so much about what
you will get paid today. Instead, think about how much you
can make two or three years from now, once you prove yourself.

And
don't expect that better job to land in your lap. Well-paid
positions that offer fast-track career potential are few and
far between. To give yourself the best possible chance of replacing
that "bad" high-paid job with a "good" one,
you'll need a plan of attack. And you'll need to commit to
investing approximately 500 hours in your job search.

Five
hundred hours may sound like a lot of time, but it takes time
to do anything well. It may motivate you to know that most
people abandon efforts to land a good job after 40 to 50 hours.
Think about how much better your job search will be, since
you'll be putting in 10 times that amount of time.

Why
Make Changes?

By
David Cross

A
passion of mine since childhood is cooking and all things epicurean
– and after working in 21 countries over the last 18 years,
I've been fortunate enough to learn some fantastic recipes
from some of the world's great chefs. People rave about my
cooking, and I'll happily throw together a feast for two to
102.

But
afterward, the kitchen looks like a bomb hit it. And then I
stack the dishwasher with gay abandon, in a way that my wife
finds bothersome.

The
fine points of stacking dishwashers are lost to me – but for
some, it is important.

Sometimes,
it's the little things that matter more than anything else.

Recently,
I witnessed the enormous impact that one seemingly miniscule
thing can have on the success of an online business – a small,
golden padlock not much bigger than a match head.

After
working with the developers of a particular e-commerce site
for some years, we'd brought about changes that doubled the
number of people checking out via their shopping cart. But
the shopping cart had been set up in a way that, although the
entire checkout process was secure, the page where
you entered your credit card details looked insecure.
All because that padlock that normally appears in the Web browser
wasn't there.

There
was an entirely plausible technical reason for this, and the
developers were correct in saying the site was "secure." Because
the site was, in fact, secure, they assumed customers would
feel safe about completing their transactions.

I
questioned that assumption.

I
suggested – on a few occasions – that the absence of the padlock
was likely to have a negative impact on sales. And each time,
I was told "It's secure." Or "We haven't had
more than a handful of complaints in the past five years." Or "If
people just right-mouse-click and go to 'properties,' they'll
see that the checkout page is completely secure."

Finally,
after much badgering, they agreed to re-do the shopping cart,
test whether the change had any effect whatsoever, and, in
the process (they hoped), shut me up.

The
results threw even me for a loop.

Before
making this change, less than five percent of people who started
the checkout process completed it (by entering their credit
card details and submitting their order).

In
the two months immediately after we made the change to have
that the golden padlock appear on the checkout page – and with
no other changes or enhancements – nearly 10 percent of those
who started the checkout process completed it.

That's
more than a 100 percent improvement … by questioning an assumption
and making one seemingly simple change.

By
making that change, millions ofdollars a year were
added to this company's online sales!

Let's
consider another assumption that may be hurting your online
business.

Do
you assume that people who abandon your shopping cart or checkout
process stop wanting what you are offering? Something I learned
from my dad years ago taught me to question that.

My
first "sales" job was working Saturdays in his plumbing
supplies store. "Sometimes people need to think things
over before they're ready to buy," my dad counseled me.
But that didn't stop me from feeling down when nobody bought
anything from me.

My
dad showed me how it was done. He'd chat with people and get
them asking questions. And if they weren't buying, he'd try
to leave one question he'd have to "check on" – maybe
the availability of a color or whether something special was
in stock or the best way to do something. He'd say he'd call
them back with the answer.

Invariably,
my dad's follow-up phone call closed a sale he'd navigated
skillfully from the moment the person first walked in his showroom
some days earlier.

What
was my dad's secret? He seemed so relaxed about the
whole thing.

I
think it is this …

My
dad developed a selling process that accommodated multiple
contacts with potential customers. He learned when to close
a sale and when more information or time was needed. If he
had assumed that not making a sale on the first visit was an
indication the person didn't want what he had to offer, he'd
have been far less successful.

Businesses
that have systematically put this assumption to the test have
been well rewarded. They carefully tracked customers who started
the ordering process but then bailed out, for whatever reason.
Then they followed up with targeted e-mail promotions aimed
only at those people. The premise: They were interested enough
to start checkout, so maybe – like my dad's customers
– they just needed more time.

The
companies I know that tried this approach experienced fantastic
results consistently – always at least a 25 percent increase
in sales compared to the original promotion, and sometimes
up to a 60 percent increase. And this was achieved simply by
making a second contact with people who had expressed interest
in buying from them.

My
dad would have been proud!

What
can you learn from these examples?

In Message
#1814, I pointed out that you need to
be aware of how your prospects' assumptions can lead
them astray when they're online. Well … you need to
be equally aware of how your own assumptions can lead
you astray when it comes to making decisions about your
business.

Online
businesses – especially successful ones – can be closed to
change. They figure "It's working … so why not just
leave it alone?" But if you are open to performing the
kind of audit I recommended in Message
#1814 – and testing any new ideas that result
– it could help bring about a significant change for the better
in your online business.

Today's
Action Plan: Take a close look at your online business.
If possible, get some friends and colleagues who fit your
customer profile to investigate your e-mail promotions, website,
shopping cart, and checkout process and give you their honest
feedback. What assumptions are you making that may be hurting
your business or your relationships with your customers?
Test your assumptions. Roll with the winners and cut your
losses.

Fighting
Free Radicals

By
Al Sears, MD

Free
radicals occur naturally in the body (as a byproduct of the
metabolism process) and work to neutralize viruses and bacteria.
But pollution, radiation, and cigarette smoke can also spawn
free radicals. And if free radical production becomes excessive,
it can destroy cells … which leads to accelerated aging and
disease. That's why you need to supplement with antioxidants,
your body's free radical fighters.

Along
with a multivitamin, I advise my patients to take additional
doses of the following two antioxidants:

Vitamin
A

Vitamin
A is in a family of compounds called carotenoids. Best known
for aiding in good eyesight, this vitamin does much more.

Vitamin
A prevents night blindness by preventing free radical damage
in the eye.

It
acts as a powerful free radical scavenger in fat-soluble
tissues.

It
lowers the risk of macular degeneration, the most common
cause of blindness in the elderly.

It
decreases the risks of lung and breast cancer by supporting
the immune system.

It
maximizes skin health by playing a key role in the integumentary
system.

Vitamin
A is found naturally in meat, milk, eggs, liver, carrots, and
spinach. I recommend supplementing with 2,500 IUs per day.

Vitamin
E

"Vitamin
E" is actually a generic term for a group of eight compounds
– four types of tocopherols and four types of tocotrienols.
In their separate forms, these compounds work differently in
the body. (Some tocotrienols, for example, are best absorbed
by the skin.)

Vitamin
E fights free radicals that cause diseases of inflammation
(such as rheumatoid arthritis).

It
lowers the risk of heart disease by increasing blood circulation.

It
lowers the risk of cancers in the prostate, colon, and breast.

It's
important to note that too much of one type of tocopherol in
the body can stop the absorption of the others. So read the
label before you buy. A good mix of all four tocopherols and
all four tocotrienols is your best bet. I recommend supplementing
with 400 IUs of Vitamin E a day.

Both
Vitamin A and Vitamin E are oil soluble and should be taken
in gel-cap form. For best absorption, take them with a teaspoon
of flaxseed oil or peanut butter or during a meal that includes
fat.

Quick
Writing Tip: 2 Words to Avoid

By
Will Newman

Be
careful when using the words "literally" and "virtually." They're
often misused by writers – even some of the best.

"Literally" means "true
and factual." Misusing this word can create funny images
in your reader's mind. I recently read this from a well-known
author: "I was literally blasted out of my reverie." Literally
blasted? The pieces must have flown all over the place.

"Virtually" means "almost,
nearly, or close at hand." You'll often see it used when
the writer meant "literally." For example: "It
was virtually the most exciting experience I ever had."

As
with most adverbs (words that end in "-ly"), it's
best to avoid using these two words.

Word
to the Wise: Epicurean

"Epicurean" (ep-ih-kyoo-REE-un
or ep-ih-KYOOR-ee-un) means devoted to the pursuit of sensual
pleasure, especially to the enjoyment of good food and comfort.
The word is derived from the name of a Greek philosopher -
Epicurus (341-270 BC) – who believed pleasure is the highest
good.

Example
(as used by David Cross today): "A passion of mine since
childhood is cooking and all things epicurean – and after working
in 21 countries over the last 18 years, I've been fortunate
enough to learn some fantastic recipes from some of the world's
great chefs."

How
Uncle Sam Will Help You Buy Your First (and second, and third…)
Apartment Building

There's
a little known, government sponsored tool that you
can use to buy much larger, more valuable properties
than would otherwise be possible – including large, cash-cow
apartment complexes.It's
a technique that can help you roll-up a single $5,000 investment
(or less, really) into a $1.5 million fortune that's throwing
off thousands in spendable income each and every month (to
the tune of six-figures a year).

Without
this technique? You could be looking at less than one-third
the assets, and cash-flow closer to $20,000 a year. (Not bad,
but certainly pales in comparison to six-figures!)

The
technique is called a 1031 Exchange – and
it's designed specifically for investors looking to grow their
portfolios. It allows real estate investors to stiff the
tax man. That's right, you get to actually not
pay Uncle Sam. Instead, you can legally use that money
to invest in new property, which means your buying power instantly
grows exponentially.

Keep
reading to see how you can start using 1031
Exchanges to propel your own real estate investments,
and receive three Free reports on cash-flow real estate

Enough
Money to Fund Your Dream Lifestyle

If
you're like a lot of people, one of your top financial goals
is to increase your income to "seven figures". But "seven
figures" can mean wildly different things… and if you
have a net worth of $1 million, you'll be living much differently
than you would with a net worth of $9 million.

In
his brand-new book, Seven Years to Seven Figures: The Fast-Track
Plan to Becoming a Millionaire, Michael Masterson suggests
that you ask yourself, "Would a net worth of $1 million
be enough?"

Here's
how you can find out.

Start
a list of regular monthly expenses: mortgage payments or rent,
bills, car payments, grocery bills, etc. (You can estimate
these costs as they would apply to your dream house, dream
car, etc.)

Add
to this an estimated cost of the activities that are important
to you each month — tennis lessons, dinner and a movie with
your spouse, a weekend trip out of state, etc.

Now
add the estimated cost of those things that would make up your
dream lifestyle — a new Ferrari, two-week vacations to the
Caribbean, scuba diving gear, a sail boat, lunch once a week
with your sister, etc.

Add
in the cost of anything else we may have forgotten.

Multiply
by 12.

Your
total represents the cost of living your dream lifestyle for
one year.

If
your dream lifestyle total is…

…
less than $65,000 you should aim for a net worth of $1 million

…
between $65,000 and $160,000, you should aim for a net worth
of $1.5 million to $2.5 million

…
between $160,000 and $358,000, you should aim for a net worth
of $3 million to $5.5 million

…
between $358,000 and $585,000 you should aim for a net worth
of $6 million to $9 million

How
much wealth do you need to accumulate to live the lifestyle
of your dreams?

[Ed.

in Michael's upcoming book Seven Years to Seven Figures:
The Fast Track Plan to Becoming a Millionaire. The release
is less than 2 weeks from now and we're looking forward to

A
Look at "Cardio" From Your Heart's Perspective

By
Al Sears, MD

Look
at any rack of fitness magazines and you'll see dozens of covers
telling you that you need "cardio." Go to any gym
and the trainer will insist on devoting some of your time to "cardio." You
probably don't like doing it, yet you feel compelled to comply.
After all, who doesn't want a healthy heart?

Common
parlance has even accepted the term "cardio" (short
for cardiovascular endurance training) as synonymous with exercise
for your heart. But shouldn't exercise make the targeted body
part stronger?

When
you study the heart's changes as a result of cardiovascular
endurance training, you find it getting weaker in some critical
capacities that simulate the changes caused by stress and aging.

Routinely
forcing your body to perform the same continuous cardiovascular
challenge by repeating the same movement, at the same rate,
thousands of times – without variation, without rest – is unnatural.
By that, I mean our ancestors didn't regularly stress their
cardiovascular systems in this manner. They may have put this
type of demand on their hearts – but rarely, and not in the
context of the daily environment of a native society in balance
with its surroundings.

Yet
nature designed your body to adapt to whatever environment
it encounters. If you ask it to perform an activity repeatedly
and routinely, it will gradually change the systems involved
to meet the challenge more effectively.

But
what adaptive changes does continuous cardiovascular activity
cause?

Continuous-duration
exercise that taxes your endurance produces some unique challenges
your body must overcome. It must not run out of fuel, overheat,
or be overwhelmed by metabolic wastes. Its primary adaptation
will be to become more efficient at light, long, continuous,
low-energy output. One of the ways your body does that is by
gradually rebuilding your heart, lungs, blood vessels, and
muscles to be as small as possible, while maintaining the minimum "horsepower" required
to perform the activity.

You
waste fuel and raw material with a Ferrari-sized engine going
20 miles per hour. Forced, continuous-endurance exercise induces
your heart and lungs to "downsize," because smaller
allows you to go further … more efficiently … with less
rest … and less fuel.

The
Danger of "Downsizing" Your Heart's Capacity

So
what's wrong with increasing durational capacity through downsizing?
Instead of building heart strength, it robs your heart of its
vital reserve capacity. Your heart's reserve capacity
is that portion of its maximal output that you don't use during
ordinary activity.

Let's
go back to the car analogy. Say you normally drive at a speed
of 40 miles per hour, but your car has the ability to reach
a top speed of 140 miles per hour. If you think of your heart
as the engine, your reserve capacity is the difference between
your normal cruising speed and that top speed.

So
if you downsize your heart and lungs, you have traded reserve
capacity for efficiency at continuous duration. That forces
those organs to operate dangerously close to their maximal
output when circumstances challenge them. This is a problem
you don't need … especially for your heart.

Heart
attacks don't occur because of a lack of endurance. They occur
when there is a sudden increase in cardiac demand that exceeds
the heart's capacity. Giving up your heart's reserve capacity
to adapt to unnatural bouts of continuous prolonged-duration
output only increases your risk of sudden cardiac death.

A
ground-breaking study of long-distance runners showed that,
after a workout, their blood levels and the oxidation of LDL
(bad) cholesterol and triglycerides increased. (High triglycerides
dramatically increase your risk of heart disease.) The researchers
also found thatprolonged running disrupted the balance of blood
thinners and thickeners, elevating inflammatory factors and
clotting levels – both signs of heart distress.

These
changes do not indicate a heart that's becoming stronger with
long-duration exercise.

Exercising
for long periods makes your heart adept at handling a 60-minute
jog, but it accomplishes this feat by trading in its ability
to provide you with big bursts when circumstances might demand.
The real key to preventing heart disease and protecting and
strengthening your heart is to induce the opposite adaptive
response produced by continuous cardio and increase your
heart's reserve capacity. Bigger, fastercardiac output that's
readily available is what you really need.

Recent
clinical studies show us the benefit of avoiding long-duration
routines and exercising in shorter bursts. Researchers from
the University of Missouri found that short bouts of exercise
were more effective for lowering fat and triglyceride levels
in the blood. Another study revealed that the duration of exercise
routines predicts the risk of heart disease in men. They found
that several shorter sessions of physical activity were more
effective for lowering the risk of coronary heart disease.

The
Secret to a "100-Year Heart" Is Millions of Years
Old

Our
ancestors lived in a world where their food fought back. Predators
attacked without notice. Humans had to run or fight – fast
and hard. These short bursts of high-output activity fine-tuned
their bodies and kept them fit.

We
still have the same physiology.

How
do you recreate that kind of physical challenge? The key is
to create an "oxygen debt." Simply exercise at a
pace you can't sustain for more than a short period. Ask your
lungs for more oxygen than they can provide. The difference
between the oxygen you need and the oxygen you get is your
oxygen debt. This will cause you to pant and continue to breathe
hard even after you've stopped the exertion. (Until you replace
the oxygen you're lacking.)

Here's
an example: Pedal a bike as fast as you can for 15 seconds.
When you stop, you'll continue to pant. This is the kind of
high-output challenge you can't sustain for very long. You
will have reached a supra-aerobic zone. This is very
different from doing an aerobic workout for 45 minutes.

Another
example: Do one-minute intervals – either running or riding
a bike. Work yourself up to a speed that you cannot sustain
for very long. After one minute, rest. You can rest by slowing
down to a very slow speed or (if you need to) you can stop
altogether. Do this 3 or 4 times.

With
these types of interval exercises, you'll quickly start to
build up reserve capacity in your heart. This is exactly what
you need to prevent heart attacks and heart disease.

[Ed. Note: Building up reserve capacity in your heart is the
basis of Dr. Sears' PACE® program. Learn about it, in detail,
in his book The
Doctor's Heart Cure.]

us at our October Info Marketing Bootcamp, and we'll work with
you to build your own customized online marketing plan that
can generate millions of dollars in sales every year.

But
the time to register is NOW, because only a handful of seats
remain! We've checked every nook and cranny of the conference
hotel, and there's no more room at the inn. Once these last
few slots are gone, that's it.

Attending
the ETR Info Marketing Bootcamp: "Making a Fast Fortune
on the Information Revolution" in Delray Beach next month
could be a dramatic turning point in your life. But remember,
your situation won't change unless you take action.

This
event will be completely sold out within a matter of days.
So if you've been thinking about joining us, I urge you to register
immediately.

Ramp
Up Your Sales With One Simple Strategy

By
Derek Gehl

Unless
you live on Mars, chances are really good that you've been "upsold" at
some point in your life. Every time you're asked to "super-size" your
order at a fast-food restaurant or told that if you buy one
item you'll get the second for half-price, you're being upsold.

Upselling
is simply offering a related item to a customer who is buying
your main product. And it's a great way to boost your sales
by 20 to 30 percent – or even more.

At
the Internet Marketing Center, we rigorously test all our product
launches. And our tests have proven, time and time again, that
if you offer an upsell item with your main product, at least
20 percent of your customers will purchase it.

They've
already overcome the biggest hurdle – making the decision to
BUY something in the first place. If you offer them a related
item that adds value to that initial purchase, while they're
still in the "buying mood," chances are you'll make
an additional sale – and your customers will get more value
from their entire purchase.

To
come up with a good upsell offer, keep the following points
in mind:

*
Make sure your upsell item complements or adds value to your
main product. For example, if you sell printers, offer ink
cartridges – not a yoga mat. If your main product is something
people might like to buy in multiples or as refills (like fishing
lures or batteries), double the quantity at a discounted price.

*
Choose an item that costs about 30 percent less than your main
product. If you've just sold a bathing suit, don't upsell with
a trip to Mexico. Beach sandals or a towel would be much more
appropriate … and more likely to result in a sale.

*
Offer a "limited time only" discount offer to encourage
immediate sales. Let your customers know that they must take
advantage of your upsell offer RIGHT AWAY to get the special
price – or else they'll lose out.

*
Include your upsell offer in your order form. Simply add a
check box that says "Check this box to claim …" And
don't forget to include a paragraph or two describing all the
great benefits of the upsell item.

Surprisingly,
there are still many online entrepreneurs who are leaving money
on the table because they aren't offering any upsell products
to their customers. Don't make the same mistake. Start harnessing
the profit-boosting power of upselling today – and get ready
to watch your sales spike by at least 20 percent.

Just
for Fun: An Official Seal for Your Business

By
Suzanne Richardson

Looking
for an emblem for your new business, your daughter's soccer
team, or your nephew's academic club? Look no further than
Says-It.com's "Official Seal Generator." Choose
from the site's range of borders, graphics, and colors to create
your own symbol.

I'm
no graphic designer (obviously) but here's something I whipped
up in about seven minutes:

It's
fun and free. You can also buy copies of your seal in the form
of stickers or refrigerator magnets, which you could distribute
to potential customers or leave with local businesses to distribute
for you.

into AWAI's
Graphic Design Success program.]

I
just wanted to say thank you for putting The Billionaire Way
together for others to learn from as well as myself. I have
made it a mission in my life to learn from the greatest minds
in history and business.

I
came from a humble beginning… searching. I found what I needed
to know in The Billionaire Way. My most important lesson was
they are all human just like you and me. They had special skills
which anyone can develop to attract that bit of luck we all
need in life… that extra edge.

These
lessons can be learned in The Billionaire Way and you don't
have to spend your whole life as a mission, as I have, to find
what I found here in The Billionaire Way.

I
enjoyed our call. It put the final touches together that I
have needed. If I do happen to get stuck on something thanks
for saying I can contact you again. People look to me for advice.
It is reassuring to ask and receive advice and have an enriching
conversation… I find it is rare.

Thank
you

Word
to the Wise: Exigent

Something
that's "exigent" (EK-suh-junt) requires immediate
attention. The word is derived from the Latin for "to
demand."

Example
(as used by Michael Andre Bernstein in The New Republic): "It
is true that the greatest modern novels ask more of us, and
of themselves as well. But within their own less exigent terms,
[Philip] Roth's novels amount to an impressive achievement."
