I have been somewhat underground for the past few months…especially when it comes to the topic of the Public Domain. Well, that’s all about to change. Beginning October 1st, I’ve committed to a personal challenge of blogging about the Public Domain or related topics every day through the end of 2010…a good 90 days. The seed for this was planted by my friend, Dave Lakhani, but also encouraged by others as well.

So get ready for some great content of ALL types. The posts may be written, audio, video or all the above…and no, I don’t have the full 90 days planned out yet…grin. So…in the excitement of getting things started until the official kickoff day on Friday, here is a sweet site I’ve been using to find some stunning Public Domain content:

GPO Access: This is the ultimate search tool for finding federal publications. The results include descriptive records for historical and current publications and provides direct links to those that are available online. We’re talking 100′s of thousands of publications here on just about ANY topic know to man!

You can check it out for yourself HERE!

I’ve been receiving a LOT of e-mails from people who are struggling with making money online…even after years of trying.

Perhaps that describes you.

I’ve found that knowing the right strategies, and even taking action on those strategies, is just ONE PART of the complete picture you need to succeed in business…or even in your life in general.

There is an “inner” business strategy that must also be developed…and actually, THIS is the first step to success! There are actually two parts to this “inner” part of your business…and they’re likely not what you think.

In this FREE webinar, I will share my own challenges, insights and victories on developing my OWN Inner Business. I want to see you finally achieve the success and freedom you deserve and developing your “inner business” is VITAL
to that success! You don’t want to miss this one! Here are the details:

I am SO excited about diving into the New Year! The Holidays are fun and all but I’m ready to get back to doing what I LOVE to do…sharing HOW to use Public Domain content to successfully build your business. And to that extent, there are lots of cool, fun things in store for the coming months.

YES…I have some tricks and surprises up my sleeves (that benefit you, of course)…but that is part of the fun.

Over the Holidays…actually over the course of December…I spent a lot of time thinking about and planning how to move forward into the New Year in ways that would benefit you the most. As I considered a lot of different options, several important ideas came to mind, and I believe you’ll find them to be rather cool! I’ll share the first few with you now.

The first surprise I’d like to share is that I’ve decided to permanently drop the prices on all my best-selling products…more than half. Beginning today, you can now claim your own copy any of the following Public Domain training products at their new, lower price.

Public Domain Explained

Public Domain Profit Centers

Easy Money Picture Project

Limitless Blog Content

The second surprise is, of course, my NEW video series (you can watch Episode One below), where I’ll be sharing the benefits, strategies and tricks of using Public Domain content…and the videos will not cost you anything…zero cost…zero opt-in…zero sales pitch. Just me delivering great content to help you build your online business. The ONLY thing I ask for is your comments and to share them with others you know if they inspire you. That’s it. You will be able to view all the episodes right here on my blog!

That’s it for THIS post…no more secrets just yet, but wait until you see what ELSE I will be offering soon at no cost…you’ll definitely think I’ve lost my marbles (did you see them? They’re round, they sparkle and…). I’ll tell you more about THAT surprise in a few days. For now, however, please know that I am committed to your ongoing success for 2010. THIS is the year for you…I totally believe it!

I am beginning a new webinar series this week where I will be walking you through the process of creating an ebook to sell online. No stone will be left unturned.

The other evening, I was talking to my buddy, Mike Sigers from over at Simplenomics.com and Mike was trying to convince me to come to Kentucky to hang out with him for a couple days down by the lake. Now there’s something you have to know about Mike…he is an extraordinary sales trainer and knows how to sell…he’s a master at it. Needless to say I didn’t have a chance…lol. His pitch was SO appealing and tempting that I couldn’t resist. But then he said something that REALLY caught my attention…

Mike suggested that he and I invite a couple people to join us down at the lake and help them with their businesses. Help them with product creation, blog development, teach them how to sell, create podcasts…whatever they needed. I LOVED the idea SO much that I stopped him mid-conversation so that I could record what we were masterminding about. It’s amazing how things come together. It was a cool call and we started sharing strategies that you’re going to love…oh…and the deal with the lake? YEAH…we want you to join us. Here’s the thing though…we are only going to allow four people join us. I think you better listen to the audio right away, and then check out the details below.

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

We are going to have a blast! Listen to this!

So here is what Mike and I were thinking…

We would spend pick you up at the airport on Friday, August 21st (you would fly into Nashville, TN), and then we would head back to the resort for the weekend. Friday night, Saturday and Sunday, we would work on your business with you…mastermind, help you create products, blogs, podcasts, etc. You would have full access to both Mike and I for as long as you need it during the time we’re together, so that you would leave with new sales strategies, new products, new websites…whatever you need.

The cost for the weekend is just $2,497, which is a small price to pay considering what Mike and I charge as an hourly rate ($250 – $500 per hour). Oh, and did I mention that includes your room, as well as lunch and dinner? Yep! BTW…I’m also going to include several of my top-end Public Domain packages for FREE for those who join us AND I’m going to have my camera there if you need professional photos shot for your blogs or products.

I hate to tell you this, but here’s the thing…Mike is telling the top people on his list, and I’m doing the same…plus we’re also making this opportunity available to our Twitter friends…so these four spots are going to go super quick!

There is something you need to know about Mike and I…we LOVE to give, give, give to the people we invest in and we’ll share everything we know to those who join us…not to mention that the lake is amazingly relaxing and peaceful! What do we get out of it? A chance to meet serious entrepreneurs who want to succeed in their business. You are the ones we want to partner with and joint-venture with…ao for us, it’s all about helping and building relationships…so if we can do that AND do so in an amazing, relaxing setting, it’s a win-win for everyone!

So here is what our Kentucky Business Getaway includes:

• Transportation to and from the airport in Nashville

• Your room for Friday night and Saturday night

• Dinner Friday night, lunch and dinner Saturday, & lunch Sunda

• Every waking moment with Mike and Tony to help you in your business along with all our skills, know-how, etc. in a relaxing, amazing atmosphere

It was late afternoon on a warm Saturday and my nine-year-old mind was whirling with excitement. There we were…my Dad, his buddy and me…laying on our bellies in a cow pasture looking out across the field. “I can’t see anything, Dad!” “They’ll be out…just watch!” Soon, a groundhog appeared about 300 yards away. He was what we were waiting for.

The farmer had called Dad to come to visit the farm because of the reputation Dad had for hunting groundhogs. They were particularly bothersome for cattle farmers because the cattle would sometimes stumble into the holes and break a leg. So there we laid…Dad and me on a stony ridge watching the old groundhog eating near his hole. Dad’s buddy, Dave, was only a short distance away. I don’t remember why I looked up, but as Dad was preparing to bring the “pig” in his sights, I looked over at Dave. And there, straddling Dave completely was a cow…two legs on one side and two legs on the other. The funny part was that Dave didn’t even know. I poked Dad and pointed to the unfolding scene. Suddenly the groundhog didn’t matter anymore. One quick move and Dave would be trampled. Well, after a while, the cow backed away and walked on down into the pasture. And the groundhog…he met his ancestors another day…but for now his life was spare because of the curiosity of a cow.

I share that story because when I was young, some of my fondest memories were those hunting with Dad…and so it was fitting that Dad would choose to cross over into the next life on, of ALL days, Groundhog Day. Happy hunting Dad…smile.

Photography has always been a part of my life…and it was because of Dad. I remember spending hours running all around Upper Strasburg where I grew up with my Great-Grandmother’s Kodak Hawkeye Instamatic camera that took square pictures on 126 film. I snapped pictures of buildings, flowers, sunsets…anything outdoors because those were the kinds of pictures Dad loved to take. As I got older, I took more and more photos and I dreamed of having the ultimate camera…a 35mm SLR. I remember cutting “actual size” photos of the Canon cameras out from the photography magazine ads just so I could pretend holding them. One day, and I remember this SO vividly, Dad and I were standing in the kitchen of our home there in Upper Strasburg and he was encouraging me to take more pictures…he saw that I had an eye for it. And I remember telling him, “Dad, what I really need is a good camera…one with interchangeable lenses.” And he said, “You mean like this one?” From behind his back, as if by magic, he presented me with a Canon FTb. I was speechless…didn’t know what to say, I was so surprised. I’ll never forget that day as long as I live.

That gift secured in me one of my great loves and passions…a love I continue to this day. The funny thing is that, even though Dad’s ability to take pictures waned due to his health, he actually had more camera gear than me. The last lens I bought for him just a few short months ago was a Canon 85mm f1.8. He saw my lens and the pictures I shot with it and wanted one. I don’t know if he ever actually had the opportunity to use it, but it made him SO happy to have such an amazing lens that his son used to snap some pretty cool car pictures. That was Dad…always the photography buff!

Dad was always conversational and outgoing, a lover of cameras and trains and a collector of model trucks. During his life, he was a truck driver, a security guard, a sound engineer, an electrician, a maintenance worker for the local school district and much more. He loved to debate the Scriptures, talk about UFO’s, help me fly model rockets and reload his own ammunition. He was tenacious but friendly, a wise guy but also always willing to help and serve. He was very sentimental and always praying. That was Dad!

Now he is among old friends and new ones…he is there with Kola and with other precious loved ones…a special little girl comes to mind. Perhaps he’ll get to know your loved ones as well…he IS a talker! In any case, he is no longer suffering but rather, taking pictures of the most exquisite scenes he’s ever laid eyes on…and I think that’s going to keep him busy for a while…at least until I get there, whenever that might be in the future. He will be loved and missed, admired and respected…and always my Dad!
