What Can You Learn from Hurricane Fay?

I got a somewhat worrisome email yesterday from Dr. Al Sears, who continues to be one of our most popular speakers over at our sister site, EveryDay Qi Presents...

Dr. Sears was writing to tell me that his office is preparing for tropical storm Fay, which could well reach
Category 1 Hurricane status by the time she reaches the Florida coast...

now Dr. Sears is no stranger to the destruction these storms can bring, as he lost some 200 trees on his propertyover two years and three storms...

What did he do to prepare this time...?

He trimmed and pruned all of the 65 species of trees and shrubs on his property, piling up branches as high as his house...

How exactly will this help...?

By trimming back all that foliage, Dr. Sears reduced the amount of surface that could serve as a wind trap, reducing the chance for damage from high winds...

Let me ask you this...

What can YOU trim back in your life that might serve as a trap for destructive winds that could come your way?

How about trimming back on letting negative emotions control your thinking or cutting back on the amount of unhealthy snacks you are consuming...

pruning just one or two negative things from your life can potentially save you from a bad storm down the road...

but there's only ONE catch...

be sure to start trimming well before the storm arrives at your door!

Be well,
Ellen

Uh-oh...I'll bet this will get addictive real fast!

My Most Important Business Lesson

I'm going to share something with you that has been very, very valuable in my business...

a concept I initially didn't realize that would be vital to my success...

something that, in my experience, is an absolute necessity for you  to have in your own business as well...

that something is...

maps...

I'm not talking about a map like the one you use to find your way from one town to another but maps of all my major business processes...

you see, making process maps is one of the most important things you can do to ensure your own business growth, and here's why...

once you have a process that is working for you, from setting up your website to driving traffic, you then have an invaluable tool that you can then hand over to someone else while you turn your attention to growing your business...

Now I realize that you may not be at the point where you have proven processes and systems that work to make your business go full steam ahead...

fortunately, one of the most respected and successful marketers on the internet, Rich Schefren, has created what he calls...

CashMaps...

these are gorgeous, full-color process maps that tackle all of today's hottest topics, from traffic generation to blogging to social media  and everything in between...

and they're all laid out in an easy-to-understand format that will show you, step-by-step, how to make a lot of money with the least amount of effort...

Rich says that every time he gives a process map away or offers one as a bonus, his customers nearly kill each other trying to get their hands on a copy...

they are THAT valuable...

So, if you already have valuable business systems that are working for you, I advise you to get your
systems into process maps right away...

but if you don't have those systems, just take a look at what Rich is offering with his CashMap system...

I think you will be amazed...

Best regards,
Ellen
