Time to enjoy, share and to plan for better lifestyle

December 27th, 2007 by Simeon

Time to Think about HumanityThis time of the year is a special one. It’s Christmas time, followed by the New Year time. It’s time to meet with relatives and friends, enjoy their presence and their warmth, relax and enjoy all kinds of entertainments. Time to send presents; time to receive presents. Time to share. Time to listen. Time to send all kinds of ‘best wishes cards’, and time to receive them from old and new friends. It is a period where everyone is happy to make others happy.

Enjoy and Share at Christmas Time

Sadly, it is a period where some people think more about themselves and immediate families and forget that, somewhere around them, there are people who are suffering and who, due to various reasons, can not enjoy this Christmas - New Year time. There are people who are sick, people who are dying in hospitals, people who are homeless, people who are poor, people who are in war-stricken countries… All those people would like to have their share of peace, relaxation and enjoyment. But circumstances make it difficult for them to celebrate. For them, no Christmas bonanza, no turkey, no wine, no dinner in chic restaurants, perhaps no entertainment… Even no smile on their faces.

Some might think that they can do nothing to bring smile and hope to such brothers and sisters. Some may even think that they have no responsibility in what is happening around them. They act and think selfish, without realising it!

Anyway, I take this opportunity to think about the meaning of all this. If we have to enjoy a wonderful lifestyle, we need to share our joy with other humans around us. Creating wealth is one noble objective. But sharing the benefits of a wealthy lifestyle is important as well.

We are now at the end of year 2007. Next week, we are starting a new year. For many people, it will be time to make new year resolutions. For some, the new goals will be ambitious. For others, they will be survival goals. If only we could look around and include in our resolutions some positive actions which can bring the world closer to peace, humanity and harmony.

World Internet Summit 2008 - Sydney - Australia

December 13th, 2007 by Simeon

In my previous post, I recalled how wonderful and exciting the last World Internet Summit 2007 in London was. Now, good news for those who have not attended that summit and who would like to live that experience. Tom Hua and Brett McFall, the organisers of the World Internet Summit, have just announced that the next World Internet Summit will take place in Sydney, Australia in March 2008.

Discovering Social Networking and Facebook.com

December 10th, 2007 by Simeon

Last week, a friend of mine Akua sent me an invitation to join her as a friend to facebook.com. Until now, I had thought that facebook was for people younger than me. I am 52, so, what do I do with teenagers and young university students in a social networking portal such as facebook.com. But after receiving the invitation from Akua, I said to myself: why not be curious and try it? You might learn something valuable there. And perhaps facebook is not only for young people, it might be also suitable for more mature people.So, I registered and started surfing around. WOW! What a world? With so many groups and networks, millions and millions of people networking everyday on facebook! Exciting!Just after joining, I got an invitation from a South African lady, Heather, I met at two occasions this year. The first time, I met her in London at the Christopher’s Howards ‘Breakthrough To Success’ Seminar and we had a very interesting chat about our dreams and our commitment to reach financial freedom and sustainable lifestyle. She had then registered with the Wealth Dynamics Seminar and she invited me to a Wealth Dynamics evening some two weeks later. I was pleased to have been at that evening because it reinforced my will and determination of planning and working smart for a better financial future.

Now, I have 2 friends in facebook and I am member of the London group which counts 1,880,936 members. This is the beginning. I will certainly work hard to have more friends with whom I can share views and interests… And if you want to join me, just register at www.facebook.com and invite me as your friend.

World Internet Summit (WIS) – London 2007.

November 21st, 2007 by Simeon

As I wrote earlier in my previous posts, I attended the World Internet Summit (WIS) last week, from Thursday 15/11/2007 to Sunday 18/11/2007. Wow!!  That has been a FANTASTIC experience. I really am happy to have spent those 4 days with selected gurus of the Internet Marketing. The World Internet Summit is full of opportunities. It is a place where you learn, take action and network with like-minded internet entrepreneurs.
Everyone who is new to Internet marketing should consider attending at least one of these World Internet Summit events. But bear in mind that in this kind of event, it is easy for newbies to feel overwhelmed by the amount of information presented to them in a short time. They have no time to digest the information. They run the risk of feeling lost. That is what some call ‘information overload’. That is why it is essential for people to have the right mindset before going to an Internet marketing event like this. A right mindset ensures that you really enjoy the learning experience during those events and you go back home with decisions and commitment to take action.

So, when you plan to attend the World Internet Summit, be prepared. During the conference, be curious, network, learn and take notes. But the real work comes during the following week. You need to go through your notes, clarify the different concepts and marketing tips you’ve received during the seminar and decide what to do and which information you need to use in order to reach your goals.
Attending the World Internet Summit requires real commitment. As I said, this is a four days event. And for many people, four days is long. This is not for lazy people. This is for people who are ready to do whatever it takes to learn how to make money on the internet in order to improve their lifestyle.
During this conference, I took every opportunity to talk to the speakers and to network with other participants. Some participants have already some experience in internet marketing, many of them have small businesses. There were also many people who are new to internet marketing. What I noticed is that all participants were hungry to learn and many of them took steps further and took the exciting offers presented by the different speakers.

Obviously, it takes time to learn the ins and outs of how people make money online. A seminar like this helps a newbie to have an overview of what is possible and to go home with information which can dramatically speed up his success on the internet. But in order to succeed, an aspiring internet entrepreneur needs to actively pursue the learning process after the event.
In fact, after a 4 days seminar like this World Internet Summit, you need another 4 days to settle and plan for the next course of action. At least, that is what I did. This is my third day after the WIS event and I am still revising the whole experience and planning what I have to do with the information and tips I received about setting up an online business and about internet marketing. I bought a few packages which were on offer and which are meant to help me in my internet business and I am already preparing myself to fully invest my time and in the couple of  programs I subscribed to.
Understanding how other people make money online can help you to tune your own action plan and team up with those who are more advanced than you.

I enrolled to the WIS with the intention of learning how to earn money on the internet. I learned a lot through the large variety of presentation styles. Each speaker has his own style and his preferred way of making money online. We had very talented and enthusiastic speakers, namely Shaune Clarke … Tom Hua … Sean Roach… Brett McFall … Adam Ginsberg … Tracy Repchuk … Ewen Chia …Tim Brocklehurst … Mike Stewart … Alan Forrest Smith … Armand Morin … Rick Raddatz … When the speakers were presenting the various strategies and methods they use in their internet business, I was feeling the urge to buy every program on offer. And I definitely and enthusiastically subscribed to a few interesting and “irresistible” offers.
The World Internet Summit helped me to update my general awareness of how Internet business is conducted today. I’ve learned a lot about up-to-date strategies, tools and techniques used for capturing email addresses, product creation, viral marketing, copywriting, affiliate marketing, niche marketing, ebay selling, social networking etc… I’ll go into details later.

Shall I recommend people to attend the World Internet Summit? Definitely! As I said earlier, this is for everybody a fantastic experience and a great opportunity. Newbies may feel a bit overwhelmed by the amount of information available, but if they are prepared, they’ll know how to filter and use what is appropriate for their current level of experience. If you already have some knowledge on internet marketing and e-business, then the World Internet Summit is for you and you are more likely to boost your performance and to jump to the next level.
I am grateful to have been able to meet those people and to learn from their highly inspiring experiences. I am so excited by this event that I’ll not hesitate to enroll on the next World Internet Summit, if it happens to be organized at a period when I can make myself available.

I Choose To Be Happy…

November 12th, 2007 by Simeon

Life is full of all sorts of events. People can be extremely happy, very happy, moderately happy, almost happy, …., unhappy.
I’ve read a lot of inspirational books and attended seminars on personal development. One important thing I learned is that you can choose to be happy. Notice that I subtitled my website simusonline.com with “Happy and Rich - It’s Your Choice”.

I do my best to be happy everyday and I have a special song called “I Am Happy” which I created and sing very often to remind me that I have to be happy. I avoid anything which could disturb my happiness, although all the days are not the same.

Yesterday was on of those very happy days. I went to see my first-born daughter who gave birth to my first-born grand-son two weeks ago. I spent time with them, I played with Micah (that’s my grand-son’s name), I sang for him, I talked to him and even if he didn’t reply, I am sure he felt my love and my excitement.
By the way, this morning, I received a mail from my friend Kashonia who wrote was congratulating me and reminded me:”How exciting for you.
And as they always say about grandchildren: you can enjoy them and then go home and leave them with the parents when you get tired
.” And that is what I did…

When I came back in the evening, I received distinguished guests, who had an important message for me. It was the uncle of my daughter’s boyfriend. He wanted to fix a date for his nephew’s official engagement with my daughter. We talked a lot and planned that happy event…
And now, in a few minutes, I am going to work and try to make people happy.
So, me happy, family happy, children happy, boss happy, people happy… the world happy!
Enjoy your day.

Lifestyle and Wealth Creation Portal

November 10th, 2007 by Simeon

Welcome, my Friends,

I’ve finally managed to set up this blogging portal.
Shall I tell you how I got the idea? Well…
Last month, precisely on 19/10/2007, I attended the Christopher Howard’s “Ultimate Business Seminar” in London. There were very brilliant speakers, such as the wonderful Christine Comaford-Lynch and the 22 year old multi-millionaire Cameron Johnson…
One of the speakers litterally grabbed my attention and admiration. And that is: Stephen Pierce. He made a really brilliant presentation and while he was busy explaining in details how to earn money via internet,
I started asking myself how I could have this man as a mentor.
I know that choosing a good mentor is one of the most important decisions anybody can make in order to improve his life. I have already a few mentors (I’ll talk about them later), but I was really wanting to be guided by this man and benefit for his experience.
At the end, he introduced his coaching programme. I was so impressed by his achievements and his realistic presentation that I was among the first people to rush to the registration table and pay for his Smart Marketing Coaching programme. Usually, when I go to seminars (and I attend so many since last year), I make a vow not to be lured by speakers into paying their products and services. Before him, other speakers had talked about their amazing experiences and their service offers, and I had successfully resisted the temptation of jumping into their wagon. But when Stephen was talking, an irresistible voice kept telling me that I should make an exception for this one. And I decided to listen to my heart. I filled in the registration form and without hesitation, I produced my American Express card for payment.
After registering, I joined Stephen near the stage where he was talking to a few people. I was so happy to have ‘finally’ found a mentor who would guide me on the path towards financial freedom. I wanted to tell him how much I counted on him. I had a chat with him, asked him a few question, including when are we going to start. He said that somebody would contact me by phone early the following week, and then the programme should start soon after…
I was registered to attend Christopher Howard’s “Ultimate Business Seminar” for all 3 days, but when I arrived home that evening, I made a decision of not going back there the following days, but to stay home and learn as much as I could about Stephen Pierce. I watched his video’s on YouTube, read testimonials, etc, etc…
Three weeks have passed now, and I’ve never had the opportunity to talk to Stephen. When I registered, I was so excited that I really wanted to start the following week… I didn’t know then that he had immediate commitments in Malaysia and that for administrative reasons, it would take them some time before they let us fully access the Coaching programme.
Anyway, I didn’t waste my time: after reading the initial step by step information on how to set up an internet business, I understood the importance of blogging and joining community networks. A few years ago, I registered my domain name simusonline.com. I used it to promote some affiliate programmes which, for various reasons, didn’t bring any cash in my pocket. At the end, I was not even maintaining it or consistently promoting any product or service.
So, yesterday, I made a firm decision of restructuring www.simusonline.com and using it as a blogging portal.
And today, I did it. I installed Wordpress and here I am: blogging, using my own blogging website.
PS. I still have to talk to Stephen and discuss with him about my plans. I count on him as mentor to be available and guide me on ‘HOW’ to do things in order to get RESULTS. And one thing is sure now: This end of year 2007 is for me and my family, the critical turning point in our lives.
If the content of this website can inspire you in one way or another and incite you to take decisions to improve your lifestyle, then I will have reached one of my goals.
Please, do not hesitate to leave comments and suggestions, or contact me personally when necessary.
Enjoy!
Wishing you a wonderful life,
Simeon.
