--Jim Rohn

As you may already know, I'm building a very special and selective Mastermind Group of 6 committed people who want to take responsibility for their future, develop themselves into leaders and help others on their path to freedom.

There are already 4 other people in my Mastermind Group, and there might be a place for YOU.

If you're interested, please send an email ASAP to . and include the reasons why you believe I should choose you instead of someone else.

I'll then get in touch with you and verify if you qualify.

Best regards,

Stephan Bourget

PS Please respond only if you're serious about making a change in your life, getting out of the rat race, and helping others do the same.

Article 1: TAKE CARE OF YOUR ROCKS

One day, an expert in time management was speaking to a group of business students and, to drive home a point, used an illustration those students will never forget. As he stood in front of the group of high powered overachievers he said, "Okay, time for a quiz."

Then he pulled out a one-gallon, wide-mouthed Mason jar and set it on the table in front of him. Then he produced about a dozen fist-sized rocks and carefully placed them, one at a time, into the jar. When the jar was filled to the top and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, "Is this jar full?"

Everyone in the class said, "Yes." Then he said, "Really?" He reached under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel. Then he dumped some gravel in and shook the jar causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the space between the big rocks. Then he asked the group once more, "Is the jar full?"

By this time the class was on to him. "Probably not," one of them answered. "Good" he replied. He reached under the table and brought out a bucket of sand. He started dumping the sand in the jar and it went into all of the spaces left between the rocks and the gravel. Once more he asked the question, "Is this jar full?" "No," the class shouted. Once again he said, "Good."

Then he grabbed a pitcher of water and began to pour it in until the jar was filled to the brim. Then he looked at the class and asked, "What is the point of this illustration?"

One eager beaver raised his hand and said, "The point is, no matter how full your schedule is, if you try really hard you can always fit some more things in it."

"No," the speaker replied, "that's not the point. The truth this illustration teaches us is: If you don't put the big rocks in first, you'll never get them in at all. What are the 'big rocks' in your life?

Your religious faith; Your children; Your loved ones; Your education; Your dreams; A worthy cause; Teaching or mentoring others; Doing things that you love; Time for yourself; Your health; Your wife or husband.

Remember to put these BIG ROCKS in first or you'll never get them in at all. If you sweat the little stuff (the gravel, the sand) then you'll fill your life with little things you worry about that don't really matter, and you'll never have the real quality time you need to spend on the big, important stuff (the big rocks). "So, tonight, or in the morning, when you are reflecting on this short story, ask yourself this question:

What are the 'big rocks' in my life? Then, put those in your jar first.

Article 2: THE BEST WAY TO MAKE MONEY ON THE WEB

Introduction to Affiliate Model

In 1997, Amazon.com launched the concept of affiliate programs into prominence (they weren't the first, but they were the first to do it big-time!). For the one person on the Net who doesn't know, Amazon sells books (and tons of other merchandise now) online... and only online.

Books, of course, offer information on millions of different specialized subjects. And there are millions of Web sites out there, on an incredible variety of subjects. So Amazon figured, "Why not convert those sites into specialized, niche book shops for us? We'll pay a commission when a site refers a customer who buys a book."

And that's how Amazon started one of the first affiliate programs (AKA associate or referrer programs).

Here's how an affiliate program works, using Amazon as the example... The affiliate provides links from his site to certain books on the Amazon site, books that are related to the affiliate's site content.

Amazon uses special software that tracks who sends each visitor. If and when the visitor buys, Amazon pays the affiliate a commission.

The affiliate never has to... write a book, process an order, ship a book, answer customer support e-mails. And the same applies to any product that is sold in this way... CDs, travel, domain names, even sheep!

It's the best opportunity for the average person interested in e-commerce. But... affiliates are not immune to the standard rules of the business world. Those who work, and work well, succeed. Those who are looking to "get rich quick" are once again heading for disappointment. Site Build It! shows you how to work well... extremely well. To find out more about site build visit:

P.S. I made the part about "sheep" up. But just about every other product that you could imagine is, or will soon be, sold via an affiliate program.

Question? Would you rather earn affiliate commissions ONE time, or MONTHLY? Many Network/Internet Marketers spend a lot of time and energy promoting affiliate programs that pay them one time, and that is all.

There are some great one-time pay programs with very valuable products. However, if you are going to spend YOUR TIME promoting, doesn't it make sense to promote programs that can pay you a MONTHLY residual income? Some of the Best MONTHLY RESIDUAL INCOME Affiliate Programs on the Web, for network marketers, are the following. CHECK THEM OUT!
