			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What would you say if I offered you a sneak peak into the latest book from an expert who has helped thousands of people reach their financial goals&#8230; and nearly 600 others become millionaires?</p>
<p>Hopefully, you would say&#8230; &#8216;Yes! Where do I get it?&#8217;</p>
<p>Loral Langemeier is a <em>New York Times</em> best selling author, &#8220;Money Expert&#8221; on Dr. Phil Show&#8217;s, and my dear friend. If you already know the power of Loral&#8217;s work, I am going to cut right to the chase.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?Clk=2690662" target="_blank">Click Here</a> to get your sneak peak at her amazing new book Get Off Your Lazy Assets</p>
<p><a href="http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?Clk=2690663" target="_blank">Click Here</a> to buy Get Off Your Lazy Assets for only $24.95.<br />
If you are unfamiliar with Loral and her work, let me tell you a little something about her.</p>
<p>For the last seven years, Loral has helped thousands of people reach their financial goals with her three-to-five year wealth-building plan. This incredible accomplishment has earned her the title of <strong><em>The Millionaire Maker. </em></strong></p>
<p>Now, she has allowed me to give you a sneak peak inside her latest book, &#8216;Get Off Your Lazy Assets.&#8217; The really cool part about &#8216;Get Off Your Lazy Assets&#8217; is that it is being delivered in an amazing multimedia format I have never seen before. In this interactive, multimedia book, Loral teaches you how to uncover your talents, turn those talents into value, leverage that value by enrolling resources, and connect those resources with opportunities. </p>
<p>The methods are clear, concise, and organic &#8212; it&#8217;s like downloading the information right to your brain. This book is an invitation to participate in a process, not just a thought or a feeling, but a step-by-step, tried and true method, that uncovers the secret to becoming and having everything you ever wanted.</p>
<p>Now you have a choice to make.</p>
<p><strong>Choice #1</strong> – <a href="http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?Clk=2690662" target="_blank">Click Here</a> to get your sneak peak at &#8216;Get Off Your Lazy Assets&#8217;</p>
<p><strong>Choice #2</strong> - <a href="http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?Clk=2690663" target="_blank">Click Here</a> to buy &#8216;Get Off Your Lazy Assets&#8217; for only $24.95.</p>
<p><strong>Choice # 3 </strong>- Do nothing and stay stuck where you are, creating the same results day in and day out.</p>
<p>For those of you hesitating to take action in this moment, let me leave you with these parting words from Loral.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;In the past couple decades, we have been living a have-to, not a want-to life, and people act as if they have no choice, no options. This is such a waste of talent, of value, of resources and of opportunity. There has been a sense of entitlement in this country, that was not then, and especially not now profitable or even sustainable. Most people are capable of making their dreams come true. Yet, as if waiting for permission, they sit on the sidelines, not getting in the game, wishing for change, but too afraid to profit from their own abilities. You don&#8217;t have a fixed potential, so why live on a fixed income?&#8221;<br />
</em> <br />
Don&#8217;t be one of these people.  Take action today and make a difference in your tomorrow.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dreams do come true! Talk show star Oprah Winfrey revealed this week that she uses a vision board to visualize her goals and harness the power of intention. So what did Oprah have on her vision board? The gown she intended to wear to a very special event – the Obama inauguration.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what Oprah told a New York radio station on Tuesday:</p>
<p>&#8220;I was speaking with Michelle [Obama] and Caroline Kennedy and Maria Shriver - we were all doing a big rally out in California. At the end of the rally Michelle Obama said something powerful, &#8216;and I want you to leave here and envision Barack Obama taking the oath of office.&#8217; I created a vision board. I had never had a vision board before. I came home, I got me a board and put Barack Obama&#8217;s picture on it and I put a picture of my dress I want to wear to the inauguration.&#8221;</p>
<p>Want some tips on how to put the power of intention to work with your own vision board? Go to <a title="The Vision Board Kit" href="http://www.TheVisionBoardKit.com" target="_blank">TheVisionBoardKit.com</a> for a downloadable free chapter that includes the eight basic ingredients of a successful vision board. You can achieve your dreams!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi Friends,</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been teaching about goal achieving for many years, and I&#8217;ve learned that the difference in success or failure is not how you look, not how you dress, not even how you&#8217;re educated. It&#8217;s how you think! In many ways we&#8217;re all alike; however, one little difference always makes a big difference. The little difference is <em><strong>attitude</strong></em>.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d like to share with you some of the keys to staying positive in today&#8217;s world with this 3-minute inspirational movie by my friends at <a title="Simple Truths" href="http://www.simpletruths.com/a.aspx?af=1224&amp;mo=TPOA " target="_blank">Simple Truths</a>. So sit back, relax, turn up your speakers and click on the link below.</p>

<p>By the way, if you like the movie, don&#8217;t forget to share it with friends, family and co-workers. Everyone needs an occasional &#8220;shot of inspiration.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi friends,</p>
<p>If you are really serious about achieving greater financial success you must read and understand this now.</p>
<p>In my many years of studying human perception and peak behavior it never ceases to amaze me how many people think that we see with our eyes. We don&#8217;t!</p>
<p>We see when light bounces off an external object and enters our eye through the cornea, causing complex chemical reactions and electrical impulses to occur. This allows our brain to decipher the information from our external world and to determine whether or not it is important to us. It is actually our brain that sees and not our eyes. Our eyes are just like the lens on a camera – they allow in light that is reflected off objects so that our brain can see and process information.</p>
<p>Seems pretty simple right? Now, you may be asking why this is important to earning money and so I&#8217;ll explain to you what is really going on and why it&#8217;s especially important to you if want to achieve higher levels of financial success.</p>
<p>The way your brain works is really amazing when it comes to capturing and analyzing information. However, herein lies the problem.</p>
<p>Every second about 400 billion pieces of &#8220;information&#8221; from the outside world is being picked up through your eyes and your non-conscious mind. Your conscious mind however is made aware of up to only 2,000 of those pieces of information. That means that over 9.9999 million pieces of information are being dropped from your conscious awareness at any given time.</p>
<p>Your brain searches the outside world for patterns and images that it currently recognizes or deems highly important. It drops all other sensory information from your perception if it is not on your &#8220;important list&#8221; or part of your current mental programming or conditioning.</p>
<p>With that said, if you are conditioned to earn a certain income or if your company is used to generating certain revenues, your brain is will consistently seek out opportunities that match that level of income. Nothing less, nothing more.</p>
<p>Earning more income is totally an inside mental game and not an outside game. Working harder used to be the answer because that is what our parents, teachers and mentors taught us we should do. They didn&#8217;t know better. Today we do.</p>
<p>With all the advancements in brain research and recent understandings in quantum physics, you owe it to yourself to really understand how your priceless brain works and how to take control of all its powerful systems. In the last six years alone the advancements in human potential have been huge, especially in understanding why people get stuck financially.</p>
<p>If you are still working way too hard daily, then you are really missing the boat on taking your income or revenues to your true potential.</p>
<p>If you are interested in maximizing your income, revenues and living a healthier, happier life, <a title="Having It All" href="http://www.johnassaraf.com/hia" target="_blank">I urge you to consider my goal achieving program</a> that will show you the most advanced process to achieve any goal you deserve and desire.</p>
<p>You should also <a title="The Complete Vision Board Kit" href="http://www.TheVisionBoardKit.com" target="_blank">check out Chapter One (for free!) of my new book</a>, <em>The Complete Vision Board Kit</em>, which unlocks the secret to using visualization to manifest the life of your dreams.</p>
<p>To Having It All!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How is your business doing? Is the drumbeat of headlines, and all the talking heads you hear on TV getting to you? It&#8217;s pretty much a consensus that we&#8217;re in a recession, probably a global one — and they&#8217;re saying it will continue through 2009, depending on who you listen to (I heard 2010 on the radio today).</p>
<p>A lot of people are already cutting back on their spending. But I&#8217;ll tell you — that&#8217;s how these things become a self-fulfilling prophecy.<br />
 <br />
You can&#8217;t let the negative imagery and perceptions change your positive mindset and focus for a prosperous future. Especially if you are a small-business owner.<br />
 <br />
When people hear that a recession is coming, like everyone else, they begin think it&#8217;s the worst thing that could happen.<br />
 <br />
But, think about it — if you are a small-business owner, this is actually the <strong><em>perfect</em></strong> time to take the initiative and build your business. And a positive mindset can only help you during rough times. In reality, while other small businesses are cutting back on their marketing, you can go out and capture market share.</p>
<p>And then, when the upswing comes (and it will come) you are positioned for explosive growth. Meanwhile, you&#8217;re making more money, because you&#8217;re growing your client list every day!<br />
 <br />
It&#8217;s true – this is the <strong>best time</strong> we&#8217;ve had in decades to build your business.</p>
<p>With that said, you MUST know the <em><strong>two keys to growing your business faster</strong></em> now. And I&#8217;m going to reveal those in a <a href="http://www.OneCoach.com/recession">special call on Nov. 11</a>.<br />
 <br />
Why am I doing this? Well I have made a decision: When people are hurting, you have to do what you can to help. I&#8217;m going to share my expertise in how to achieve the right mindset, as well as build the client list that you really need to grow your business and make more money now.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.OneCoach.com/recession" target="_blank">Register for the call now</a>, and plan to <em><strong>make 2009 your best year yet</strong></em> – regardless of the recession!<br />
 <br />
To your success!</p>
<p><strong><em>John</em></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Born a sickly child with little hope of living to adulthood, my friend Nordine Zouareg used mental exercises to overcome his body&#8217;s limitations, ultimately becoming a champion bodybuilder and earning the titles of Mr. France, Mr. Europe, Mr. World, and Mr. Universe, all by the age of 24.</p>
<p>Nordine is now a professional fitness coach to celebrities from around the world. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0446580775?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=onec0c-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0446580775" target="_blank">He has written a revolutionary book</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=onec0c-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0446580775" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> that teaches the same information and encouragement that has helped his clients release stress, increase energy, lose fat, and develop muscle tone quickly, effectively&#8230; and forever! He not only gives you a diet and exercise regime that is simple and easy to follow, it teaches you how to change your mind to keep the pounds off!</p>
<p>In &#8220;Mind Over Body&#8221; Nordine helps you to identify your &#8220;core desires&#8221; - the enduring motivation that will keep you working toward a goal - and how to harness it to keep on the weight-loss track.</p>
<p>Are you tired of all the gimmicks that promise you a body that you want and then yield no results? Weight loss is more than crash diets and excessive workout programs; you have to change your focus and your mind, in addition to diet and exercise, to truly achieve long-term weight loss.</p>
<p>Nordine inspires you, energizes your mind and helps you reshape your body. Your perception about fitness will never be the same after you are done with this book. If you want to develop the body of your dreams then I highly recommend that you <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0446580775?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=onec0c-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0446580775" target="_blank">check out <em>Mind Over Body</em></a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=onec0c-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0446580775" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey Friends,</p>
<p>Times are tough out there and many people are hurting right now.</p>
<p>If you want to understand what got us in this mess read on, I&#8217;ll explain.</p>
<p>When you and I want to buy a home, we usually go to a bank and get a loan.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s say your loan is at 6% annual interest. The bank sells the loan to bigger Wall Street type institutions and keeps a small fee for originating the loan.</p>
<p>Now these institutions bundle these mortgage loans in batches of $100 million, and sell them to even bigger institutions like hedge funds, retirement funds, etc., and they keep a small fee for that. At the end, the bigger institution may receive a 4% return on their money, while the middle men get a smaller fee, as they no longer are holding the mortgage. They basically get paid a commission for their involvement. And the more loans they process, the more money they make, with almost no risk.</p>
<p>Herein lies the problem: When the homeowner can&#8217;t afford to make the payments (because they never should have gotten loans as big as they did in the first place) all the institutions and the banks don&#8217;t get paid. This causes a cash crunch, which now extends to every person and business on the planet that isn&#8217;t prepared for a downturn in the economy.</p>
<p>The government steps in and buys all the “bad” in-default mortgages from the institutions in hopes that it will free up their cash. This is done so they&#8217;ll start lending to homeowners and businesses again, so it can be business as usual. Unfortunately, this is a temporary fix.</p>
<p>We must get back to lending people money based on their true ability to pay it back, and not based on the hopes and dreams that the real estate market or stock market will continue to go up without a downturn. It&#8217;s never happened before and it&#8217;s not going to start now.</p>
<p>With this said, what can you do now to make sure you stay strong and thrive in this market?  You must understand that if you are focusing on the negative aspect of what is happening in the market and the economy, you cannot be focusing on how to thrive in these times.</p>
<p>More millionaires will be made in the next two years than in the last ten, and you too can learn how to thrive despite the economy.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s those who learn how to think and act differently who will prosper. To learn more about how to take charge of your thinking, listen to my free 45-minute session audio called &#8220;<a title="Having It All" href="http://www.johnassaraf.com/hia">Having It All</a>.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Friends,</p>
<p>You know my story: I&#8217;ve been studying quantum physics and neuroscience for the last 25 years, and applying these findings to help people achieve their goals in everyday life.</p>
<p>My passion is to empower everyone to live the life of their dreams, and I&#8217;m pleased to roll out my next big project in support of that goal. Now, I&#8217;ve already authored two New York Times best sellers, but honestly, I believe that my new book, The Complete Vision Board Kit™ is going to reach even more people, and help them change their lives for the better, and that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m so excited about it.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m making the first chapter of the book available to anyone who wants it – go to <a title="The Vision Board Kit" href="http://www.TheVisionBoardKit.com" target="_blank">www.TheVisionBoardKit.com</a> now to get it. It includes the eight ingredients that your vision board must have to engage the power of your unconscious.</p>
<p>You probably know that a vision board is a simple and extremely powerful tool that anyone can use to shape an ideal future through the power of intention and visualization. There&#8217;s more to it than just pasting pictures up, however.</p>
<p>To be successful with a vision board, you must understand how to activate the power of your unconscious brain to draw towards you everything you truly want.</p>
<p>The first step is to vividly imagine your desired results:</p>
<ul>
<li>Attracting your perfect soul mate</li>
<li>Achieving radiant health</li>
<li>Prospering from abundant career opportunities</li>
<li>Building personal and community relationships to give back</li>
</ul>
<p>Whatever it is you desire, once you create the vision of your ideal future, you are on the path to making it happen. The Complete Vision Board Kit will teach you how to break through unconscious, limiting beliefs and transform your future now. If you can envision it, you&#8217;re halfway there!</p>
<p>The Complete Vision Board Kit fully explains this process. And it&#8217;s actually much more than a book: It comes with everything you need to create your own life-changing vision board: a book, a DVD, and a sample vision board. This kit will walk you step-by-step through exactly how to create a vision board AND retrain your brain to actually start believing that you can achieve all your goals and dreams.</p>
<p><a title="The Vision Board Kit" href="http://www.TheVisionBoardKit.com" target="_blank">Go and get your chapter one now</a>, and please show this message to your friends who may be interested in activating the incredible power of a vision board in their lives.</p>
<p>To your success!</p>
