Those people are never going to buy from me and they are never going to create a successful business so I'm happy to let them go. I love being around inspired people who actively take action to create what they want. I don't have time for people who waste their time complaining and acting like a victim. Does this sound harsh? It's not. The people you allow yourself to be with will either take you up or down and I'm going up...and I'm bringing others up with me.

I write for 20% of people who are actually taking action and are committed to creating life of their dreams. That's not everyone. These people read what I have to write and know that I'm coming from heart while building my business and helping them to build theirs.

So each time you publish a new issue of your ezine I invite you to push yourself a little. Expose a little more of who you are to your readers. Let them know what you love and what bugs you. Your readers are humans like you, they have ups and downs, families, friends, jobs, dreams, etc. Share a little of your life with them. They'll appreciate it and you'll build a great community of online friends and supporters.

Connect with your readers and your ezine list will explode (in a good way). More importantly, you'll be impacting people's lives in positive ways. When they see you being strong in who you are it gives them confidence to express themselves in world.

We could all use a little more honest self expression. So share yourself and build your list and be an online success. I dare you to go for it.

Have ever you ever heard anyone talk about 888 numbers? How many times? Okay, now how many times have you heard people talk about 800 numbers? 888 and 877 numbers are known as step brothers and sisters of 800 numbers.

Similarly, when you want to send a package overnight what company do you think of first? Probably Federal Express because they were first company to do overnight shipping. You can use UPS or Airborne Express or some of other smaller companies, but FedEx is company that gets most business because they're thought of first. You need to have a ".com" domain because that's where visitors will go first no matter how many new domain endings are created years and years from now.

If you have ".net" domain name then you'll be setting yourself up to lose visitors to whoever has ".com" domain for your name. Outside of earthlink.net how many ".nets" come to your mind right now? On other hand, how many ".coms" can you think of?

When you hear about a cool company and want to see if they have a website do you try their name with a ".com" or with a ".net" or ".info" or ".tv" or ".anythingelsebesidesa.com?" I'll bet money that you try ".com" first everytime and you always will because it's always going to be your first choice.

So if you haven't already, go buy a domain for your birth name and get crackin' on coming up with a great name for your business and go buy a domain for that name before it's taken. Honestly, we're talking about a $15 a year investment. If you're not willing to invest $15 into your business then you don't have a business. If you want to be taken seriously you have to have your own domain name or you will die online trying to make money. Period, end of story.
