			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Video iPod Users - Now What?<br />
By <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Greg_Meares">Greg Meares</a></p>
<p>Imagine, you just received a new video iPod and the thought of having a completely mobile movie player is exciting. You think of all the places that this little device will keep you entertained. Hmmm, school? Ok, maybe not, but the places and events will be endless.</p>
<p><strong>What next? Do you have movies for it? Videos?</strong></p>
<p>The video iPod (depending on the size) holds a substantial number of movies and videos and if your taste are varied you&#8217;ll find great comfort knowing that you can have all of your favorites in one location. One of the most advantageous benefits of the video iPod is that you can also have this media on your desktop PC.</p>
<p>As a result, you&#8217;ll want to make sure you have DVD burning software loaded on your computer. But this is not necessary to fully enjoy the video iPod. Once you download the movie or video you can simply transfer it to your iPod, however if you want to be able to watch the movie on your DVD player while at home then you might want to think about this.</p>
<p><a id="more-25"></a></p>
<p>Finding movies or videos to download can be a daunting task. And while doing your research you&#8217;ll need to be aware of several key benefits that the better services have:</p>
<p>1. The service must continually add new movies;</p>
<p>2. Must have over a million movies, TV Shows, Music Videos, Songs and Games;</p>
<p>3. Must be easy to set-up and easy to use;</p>
<p>4. Must allow for unlimited downloads and;</p>
<p>5. Must be affordable.</p>
<p>While doing my normal nightly surfing I found a service that meets these <strong>&#8220;must have&#8221; benefits.</strong> This service gives you access to DVD quality movies for your iPod on the internet with over 1 million always updated movies available. You&#8217;ll quickly and easily be able to search, download and watch as many movies as you want for your iPod device.</p>
<p>This service makes transferring downloaded movies to your iPod device a very easy task and there is no need to buy extra software.</p>
<p>You can learn more about this service by going to: <a href="http://www.coolwebresources.com/recommends/IpodMovies" target="_new">http://www.coolwebresources.com/recommends/IpodMovies</a></p>
<p>Greg Meares publishes a website called CoolWebResources.com (<a href="http://www.coolwebresources.com" target="_new">http://www.coolwebresources.com</a>) and often reports on &#8220;hot products and service&#8221;, on the internet.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re not aware by now, I&#8217;m a huge fan of technology, in fact I embrace it.</p>
<p>My wife and kids call me &#8220;gadget boy.&#8221;</p>
<p>I can live with that name, I guess.  I tried to get them to refer to me as &#8220;Sir.&#8221;  That went over like a led ballon.  <img src='http://gregmeares.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':-D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I digress&#8230;</p>
<p>As you know I market my services and products on the internet and I am always trying to improve my results.</p>
<p>With that being said&#8230;</p>
<p>If your interested in web 2.0, making money online, copywriting, salesletters and sales copy then you&#8217;ll want to read a report that I just finished reading (during the New England/Jets game.)</p>
<p>It&#8217;s called, <a title="The Death of the Salesletter" href="http://www.blueskybrothers.com/2007/01/07/web-20-are-you-ready-for-the-ping-factor/" target="_blank">The Death of The Salesletter</a>.  It&#8217;s 50 pages long but believe me when I say it&#8217;s well worth your time.</p>
<p>Information on making money online, Michel Fortin, Copywriting, Salesletter, and Web 2.0</p>
<p>Check it out!</p>
<p>Enjoy</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Happy New Year!</p>
<p>First off I need to apologize for neglecting this site.  But, before you give me hell, I did it for a good reason.  I took the last couple of weeks off and tried to spend quality time with my family.</p>
<p>I have been working like a dog on a new project called <a title="New Media ePublishing For Profits" href="http://www.blueskybrothers.com" target="_blank">Blue Sky Brothers</a> you can see it by just clicking on the Blus Sky link.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m pretty happy with the results but again, I neglected my family to get a lot of the project done.</p>
<p>But that&#8217;s not what this post is about&#8230;</p>
<p>With the new year upon us, I wanted to share something that you may find very helpful.  It&#8217;s called the <a title="Quantum Mind Power System" href="http://www.hypnosistruth.com/resources.php?QuantumMind" target="_blank"><strong>Quantum Mind Power System</strong></a> and it can have major effects on many aspects of your life.</p>
<p>Now this system is not for everybody.  But it is for the few folks that want to make 2007 better than 2006.</p>
<p>All I can say about this system is that it is&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>A Scientifically Proven New Technology That Can Reduce Your Stress, Boost Your Creativity And Unleash The Hidden Powers Of Your Mind.</p></blockquote>
<p>My words won&#8217;t do the system justice.  But if this sounds like something you need to jump start 2007 then I guess it safe to say that by reading the informational page won&#8217;t be a waste of your time.</p>
<p>Visit:  <a title="Quantum Mind Power System" href="http://www.hypnosistruth.com/resources.php?QuantumMind" target="_blank"><strong>Quantum Mind Power System</strong></a></p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font size="2" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">It was this time four years ago that I started my own business.  That was the best decision I was forced into making.  Are you thinking, &#8220;forced.&#8221;  Well the truth is that I didn&#8217;t come to this conclusion on my own.</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">The owner of the company I worked for (as a VP of Operations) decided I was too honest or something, and decided that it was time to eliminate my job.  At the time it was devastating.  My wife was worried, although she didn&#8217;t show it.  But come to find out about 4 months later she was really concerned.</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">But at that point, without knowing it my life was changing.  I was making the transition from being an employee to an employer. </font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Fast forward 4 years.</font></p>
<p><a id="more-21"></a></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">The road for the past four years has not always been easy.   While building my business I had a hard time budgeting the money I was earning.  My highs were high and my lows were LOW.  Often I would come up short with the money that was needed.  But other times I would hit a home run.</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">I received excellent advice from my accountant at the time&#8230;</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Although this advice was obvious, I had not followed for some time.  However, I soon learned that doing so made life much easier.</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">The advice was simple, save for a rainy day.</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Yes, it&#8217;s simple advice and something you would think an educated person would follow.  But when your racking $50,000 a month net, you don&#8217;t think it will run out.  You think that you&#8217;ve made it and that&#8217;s how life is going to be from then on out.</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">I digress.   I began to live smarter and started to save, plan and invest.</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Life got SUBSTANTIALLY better.</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">But the message I want to make sure you hear is that starting your own business is the single best thing you can do for yourself.  Whether it is small while you maintain a full time job or something you jump into right away (you better make sure you have excellent <a target="_blank" href="http://www.divergentgroup.com/factoring.htm">cash flow</a> and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.divergentgroup.com/factoring.htm">cash on hand</a> to help you get through the first year.  <a target="_blank" href="http://www.divergentgroup.com/factoring.htm">Factoring</a> is a smart way to help in this process.</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">If I was going to do it on my terms, I would have started out part-time and built it while I worked a full time job.  This is so much less stressful, especially if cash is tight.</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">I now own three businesses and I am a partner in another one. Three of them are &#8220;S&#8221; Corps and the other one, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.blueskybrothers.com">Blue Sky Brothers, LLC</a>, is a limited liability corp.  Setting up a formal business entity is the single smartest thing I did.  I 100% recommend you do this even if your part-time.  There are many services on the internet that will do this for you for a great price.</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">The two services I used (and they are both equally good) are <a title="The Company Corporation" target="_blank" href="http://www.gregmeares.com/CompanyCorporation">The Company Corporation</a> and <a title="My Corporation" target="_blank" href="http://www.gregmeares.com/MyCorporation">My Corporation</a>.  Both are excellent services.</font>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you a leader?</p>
<p>If your not that&#8217;s ok, because your intent may not drive you in that direction, however if you are, I want to share another blog that you may find very interesting.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" title="RightToLead.com" href="http://www.righttolead.com/Success/">RightToLead.com </a></p>
<p>I have always been fascinated with Leadership.</p>
<p>Leadership almost always determines the outcome of anything worthwhile.  Think about it, with strong leadership, a bad plan can turn out to be successful.  Many believe leadership is a skilled that you are born with.</p>
<p>I, on the contrary, believe it&#8217;s a skill that needs to be developed.  That&#8217;s why I dedicated one of my other blogs to the discipline of leadership growth.  More importantly, I believe you have to earn the right to lead.</p>
<p>See what I mean - <strong>These are just a few of the recent posts&#8230;</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="2">This is an important note and I hope you take the time to read it because I discovered the missing ingredient to affiliate marketing. </font><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="2">And I have proof.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="2">About 7 days ago I received an email from a friend of mine. He was passing on a recommendation for a resource called <a title="Affiliate Project X" href="http://www.blueskybrothers.com/resources.php?AffiliateProjectX" target="_blank">Affiliate Project X</a> (Have you heard of It?)</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="2">&#8230;well I hadn&#8217;t.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="2">So I decided to visit the site to learn more. I went through the information about <a title="Affiliate Project X" href="http://www.blueskybrothers.com/resources.php?AffiliateProjectX" target="_blank">Affiliate Project X</a> and thought it sounded pretty good. But I had an interest in the subject already, so it made sense to investigate it more.</font><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="2"> </font><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="2">I&#8217;m a publisher of sorts and I spend my time designing web sites and blogs for my clients and myself. I make pretty good money doing it on the side but a big piece of my revenue is generated through Affiliate sales.</font><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="2">So if I can find &#8220;best practices&#8221; to increase my income, I always pay attention! <img src='http://gregmeares.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':-D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I decided to give <a title="Affiliate Project X" href="http://www.blueskybrothers.com/resources.php?AffiliateProjectX" target="_blank">Affiliate Project X</a> a try. After all there&#8217;s a money-back guarantee for 60 days, so if I thought the info was crap I could return it for a full refund.</p>
<p><strong>Here&#8217;s what I discovered..</strong>.</p>
<p><img title="Affiliate Project X" src="http://www.gregmeares.com/images/projectxbox.jpg" align="left" border="0" />After spending about 30 minutes reading the material I discovered that I was approaching the process incorrectly. More specifically, I was missing a few small steps. I decided to make the changes to a couple of my web pages (this was midnight!)</p>
<p>Was I surprised! I woke up the next morning (not very early) and checked the accounts were I made the changes. To my surprise, I had generated an additional $165.00. Not bad while sleeping!</p>
<p>Since then I have applied this change to just about all of my pages and I am seeing a return that just keeps on growing.</p>
<p>So, are you wondering what kind of changes I made?</p>
<p>Well it wouldn&#8217;t be fair to the author of this material (Chris, I think his name is) if I shared that info but I can share what is inside <a title="Affiliate Project X" href="http://www.blueskybrothers.com/resources.php?AffiliateProjectX" target="_blank">Affiliate Project X</a>:</p>
<p>The manual is only 71 pages long but<strong> the quality of the material is outstanding</strong>.</p>
<p>He reveals the 6 methods to high sales and he shares amazing advanced tricks. The information is priceless and honestly I wonder why he is sharing it.</p>
<p>Needless to say - I do not plan on returning it.</p>
<p>You can find all of these stealth methods by visiting Affiliate Project X and if you decide it&#8217;s for you then I have a special offer for you&#8230;</p>
<p>if you purchase using this link,<strong> <a title="Affiliate Project X" href="http://www.blueskybrothers.com/resources.php?AffiliateProjectX" target="_blank">Affiliate Project X</a></strong>, I will send you a special bonus that will help you increase your sales even more.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a software tool that Project X recommends but does not offer as part of the package. I will give it to you for free if you just send me your receipt through email to: gmeares @ gmail .com</p>
<p>Once the order is verified I will email you the software tool.</p>
<p><strong>Bottom-line: If you want to make money online then this product shares the exact secrets, methods and process to do so.</strong></p>
<p>&#8230;if you feel that I hyped Affiliate Project X, simply request a refund (a third party handles the payment process and honors all request) and you&#8217;ll get your money back immediately.</p>
<p>Please come back to this post and leave me your comment.</p>
<p>Thanks<br />

<p>The mind has the ability to allow us to accomplish anything we want.  Look at all the examples we have around us.</p>
<p>Lance Armstrong won the Tour de France seven times.  We went to the moon and walked on it.  Challenges are overcome everyday.  New advances are discovered everyday.</p>
<p>Examples of the mind thinking of the possibilities is the starting point to every great action that ever existed or was achieved.  So it makes sense to be fascinated by the power of the mind.</p>
<p>That is why when I received this note, I decided to learn more.</p>
<p><strong>What Is Thought Power?</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Thought power refers to the quality of thinking that occurs in the brain. How can one improve their power of thought? Thought power is not related to the power of mind over the body, although it can affect the body. We all have weak brains at times every day.</p>
<p>The most successful people in all fields worldwide have one common characteristic and that is stronger levels of Beta brain waves. The 15 - 20 hertz (Low Beta) brainwave band is associated with super-focused concentration, better memory, and improved cognitive function overall. This band is associated with increased mental abilities, IQ, and mental focus. OptiMINDzation Volume One CD ROM contains the entrainment necessary to reach that brainwave band.When you listen to OptiMINDzation Volume One CD ROM twenty minutes to one hour a day you will able to super focus, think stronger longer, and enjoy the benefits of a stronger brain!</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is the time of year to give thanks&#8230;But having an attitude of gratitude should be something that we embrace all year long.  Why?  Because the more you give the more you get back. </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve done a lot of research lately on the &#8220;Law of Attraction&#8221; and one of the key components is to make sure you are grateful for aqll the positive things in your life.  Recognizing this fact puts you in a positive state and that positive helps bring about more positive for your life.</p>
<p>In today&#8217;s post of I have two things for you.  The first is a short video that is entertaining and fun to watch. And the second is an article titled&#8230;&#8221;Developing An Attitude Of Gratitude.&#8221; </p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>

<p>By Wendy Betterini</p>
<p>What does Gratitude really mean? Most of us are thankful for the blessings we have in our lives. We have families we love, jobs that help us provide the necessities of daily living, good health, friends to laugh and play with, freedom and Free Will to live our lives the way we want to.</p>
<p>Most of us are very grateful for these blessings, but how often do we stop to focus and reflect on that? Probably not as often as we should. Why is Gratitude even important? Sure, we&#8217;re thankful for what we have, but why should we have to dwell on it?</p>
<p>There is a very good reason! Have you ever given someone a gift, and when they open it they react with very little enthusiasm? They say flatly, &#8220;Oh yeah, thanks, I&#8217;ve been wanting one of those.&#8221; Their words say &#8220;thank you&#8221; but their heart says, &#8220;big deal&#8221;. You can feel that, can&#8217;t you? Does it inspire you to want to give them another gift? Probably not. On the other hand, if you give someone a gift and they exclaim, &#8220;Oh THANK YOU, I just love it!&#8221;, doesn&#8217;t that lift your heart? You feel appreciated, and happy that you made them feel appreciated.</p>
<p>The one Universal Law that has had the most profound effect in my life is, Like Attracts Like. When we are truly grateful for the blessings in our lives, and we take time to reflect on them, we automatically begin to draw more blessings to ourselves. Why? Because we create what we focus on.</p>
<p>True gratitude isn&#8217;t the act of mechanically listing the blessings in our lives every night before we go to sleep. Gratitude is an Attitude. It&#8217;s a mindset of thankfulness and joy for the wonderful blessings in our lives. Our hearts and minds are lifted in joy when we reflect on the beauty and love surrounding us. It&#8217;s a heartfelt acknowledgement that our lives would not be as happy as they are now if we didn&#8217;t have those blessings.</p>
<p>Okay, so maybe not everything in our lives is perfect right now. Gratitude can be hard to foster when we are also experiencing struggle at the same time. Maybe we&#8217;ve just lost a job, or a loved one. Maybe we have difficult financial struggles. Maybe we are mired in depression and sadness. It&#8217;s hard to feel grateful during moments like that.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s where Faith comes in. Gratitude and Faith go hand in hand. Gratitude is reflecting on and being thankful for the blessings we do have, while Faith affirms that more are on the way. Maybe not everything in our lives is the way we want it to be, but some things are wonderful, and the things that aren&#8217;t so wonderful will get better in time. Another job is just around the corner. Peace and healing will come to us as we go through the grieving process for our loved one. Financial struggles come and go. Depression and sadness will lift (seeking treatment may be necessary in some cases), and the sun will shine once again. Believe this. Know it in your heart. Affirm it to the Universe, and it will be so.</p>
<p>You know what I&#8217;m grateful for? You. Every single one of you who is reading these words right now. I&#8217;m deeply grateful that I&#8217;m given the opportunity to send even a tiny ray of sunshine into your lives each week. The letters I get back from you telling me that I&#8217;ve made a difference in your life, no matter how small, fill my heart to overflowing.</p>
<p>Be thankful for the ways in which you touch the lives of others. Some of them you may not even be aware of, and that&#8217;s okay. Know that they do exist.</p>
<p>Take time to reflect on the good things in your life, not just today, but every day. Really let yourself feel the goodness and love surrounding you. Tell your loved ones what they mean to you. Embrace them and be thankful for their presence in your life. Focus on the Love, for it&#8217;s all that really matters.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just received this email and thought I would share it with you.  I own this product and have for the past several months so I KNOW it works.  Read this short email and head on over to Stephen&#8217;s website to learn more&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>Did you know you can tell a lot about a person, simply by observing their brainwave patterns? It&#8217;s true. Researchers have found that people that are depressed, for example, have a higher amount of alpha and theta brainwaves than non-depressed people do.</p>
<p>People with higher amounts of beta brainwaves tend towards being more focused, better able to concentrate, and better and faster learners.</p>
<p>Researchers have also found that, by using certain techniques, these brainwaves can be altered and changed to produce the results they desire. So if you want to be more focused and learn faster and better, you can train your brain to function with those beta brainwaves and get those results!</p>
<p>An easy and quick way to make use of this type of brain entrainment is by listening to the <a title="Optimindzation Series" target="_blank" href="http://www.gregmeares.com/Optimindzation">OptiMINDzation</a> Series CDs for thirty minutes to an hour every day. The isochronic tones that were used to create the CD will boost your brain&#8217;s beta wave acivity - giving you cognitive function.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently I found this article on goals, passion and how they can help you achieve whatever you want most for your business, income and life.  Normally I try to post my own original content but I feel this article is worth the space.</p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>
<p>Greg</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>Inspirational Goals - A Source Of Unquenchable Passion</p>
<p>By John Paul Hill</p>
<p>Would it be useful if all of your goals in life created such a passion and inspiration within you - so much so that you could not fail to achieve the result you desired?</p>
<p>All successful entrepreneurs develop passionate relationships with the projects or ventures they are developing and this passion becomes the source of all-conquering energy that drives them to succeed.</p>
<p>No matter how complicated your goal setting process is this technique will help you create habitually inspirational goals.</p>
<p>All successful Entrepreneurs work on pre-defined goals. Some may do it more formally than others but nevertheless they always have a clear vision of their end-game or outcome.</p>
<p>These goals will ultimately have a degree of detail to them to enable their effective fulfilment but, more importantly they will be a source of passion and inspiration for the entrepreneur - a passion which is obvious and infectious to those they come in contact with.</p>
<p>We all have goals in life, although most of us have condemned them to be &#8216;Got&#8217; To-Do&#8217;s instead of &#8216;Want&#8217; To-Do&#8217;s and when thinking about our goals often do not check-in on how passionate or inspirational they really are.</p>
<p>Similarly, even successful entrepreneurs sometimes get stuck when creating new goals or trying to develop interim goals to help them achieve a greater outcome.</p>
<p>This simple (but not simplistic) exercise will give you a chance to unburden yourself of the inhibiting &#8216;Don&#8217;t want&#8217; stuff that most of us carry around, it will then gently lead into more creative thinking before taking you into the ultimate, passionate and inspiring goal setting zone.</p>
<p>Please give it a try and feel free to pass it on to someone else that you know who may be able to benefit from it. It&#8217;s also great to try out with children when they are stuck finding something to do or need some inspiration.</p>
<p>Have a pen and some paper ready then take a few minutes to write as many things as you can think of after each question (no more than 3 minutes on each).</p>
<p>** To get the most benefit from this please do each question in turn - write each question at the top of a fresh piece of paper - enjoy! **</p>
<p>1. What don&#8217;t you want?</p>
<p>2. What do you want?</p>
<p>2. What do you want less of?</p>
<p>3. What do you want more of?</p>
