Mastermind Groups, Brainstorming, Mindmapping
I did an internet marketing webinar that was a whole weekend with Socrates Socratous this past weekend. It asked a usual question differently and — surprise — the answer was different.
Socrates is a great teacher. In addition to the great content, what’s great about his webinars is that he allows the participants to brainstorm, so it is a natural continuation of things to form a mastermind group.
We had our first session, a conference call, and it was very useful to see where everyone is at.
One of the questions came up how can someone send people to another website through a redirect link instead of an affiliate link. The best free solution I have ever seen is at http://www.sophieslist.com/redirectvideo
It’s a site with about 48 videos that include this one, how to redirect without every revealing the affiliate link. I am a member on a lot of sites that offer how-to videos, but this is far the best, and it is free. I use it, refer to it all the time… and I’ve been a member for almost two years… but you forget things, so it is good that it’s there.
Another resource that I find invaluable and would not cancel if I had to eat beans and rice for a week is Jim Edwards’ membership site, at http://www.sophieslist.com/netr
It will be mandatory for anyone in my coaching/apprentice/incubator program to subscribe to that… a lot of what you need to build a successful and very profitable information business is there, in a clear, concise, visual way. Jim Edwards is the special marketing teacher who doesn’t believe in giving useful but incomplete information like most others. That’s why I stick with him, and that’s why I want to use his material to train others with.
His latest webinar was on brainstorming and it was the best in that topic. And it was effective: I have started to use the tools I have, and now I can see that I can launch this incubator program very soon… whereas without using the brainstorming tools I have been quite stuck… :-(

Internet Marketing Kindergarten
I posted a “note” on my facebook profile today… on the universal law, The Law of Process, that is dismissed by millions of wannabees… and that may be the most important insight I have ever had with regards to why people don’t act in spite of their lofty dreams.
And then later today I heard Jim Edwards’ inspired rant about the same thing… using his own going-to-the-gym as an example of how one can actually take action on what they want… in his case, go to the gym and work out, seriously.
And I also heard his resigned “ehh” off camera at the end of the video.
We, coaches, all feel that way. We want you to succeed… we can take you to the water, but we can’t force you to drink.. And, it seems, you don’t, even though, you say, you are thirsty….
So my note, and my planned Internet Kindergarten may be a solution for some… I won’t kid myself that it is for everyone… but for the ones that if you put their snout into the water, they wake up, they say “water” and start drinking it…
Are you one of them?
