I was speaking with William Brighenti on the telephone a few days ago, and he said… because of you, and the wordpress training webinar you hosted, my wife and I were both able to cut past the confusion, and we now both have our own wordpress blogs set up.
Or something like that… I'm paraphrasing!
It always make me feel good to know when people are benefiting from my online training classes. So, if you're read this William… Thanks for the kudos!
William is a CPA and Certified QuickBooks Pro Advisor. And though I can't speak for him, I believe he'll be rolling out with some online training webinars and video tutorials to teach folks how to use Quickbooks as soon as tax season winds down. If you want to check out his blog, it's at www.cpa-connecticut.com/blog.
Now I'll get to the point of this post… LOL!
While I was on the telephone with William, I suggested that he might want to change his current Worpress Theme to something a little bit more professional looking (for lack of a better term). I'm sure you'll agree that the two default themes included in your initial Wordpress install leave a little to be desired.
SO… I decided to create the following video to show you how to change your Wordpress theme. As you will see, it's pretty simple!

If you attended my live webinar classes, you learned how to set up your blog, where to get the proper plugins necessary to add audio and video to your blog, how to install them, and how to record flash video (.flv) and MP3 audios for podcasting.
Although the process for adding multimedia to your wordpress blog is not necessarily hard, it can be a little bit time consuming, and maybe even a little scary for those without much technical experience.
The good news is that I've found an easier way for you to add audio and video to your blogs and webpages that does not require you to install or configure any plugins.
Here's a video that show how you can now use Easy Video Player to embed video onto your blog posts and web pages…
Obviously, you can still set up your blog and use the free plugins if you like. And no matter what method you use to add videos to your blog posts, you'll still have to set up your blog.
I mention this because, even though I will personally be using Easy Video Player to add videos to my own blogs and web pages from now on, all the instructions for setting up your wordpress blog are still the same.
I hope this post looks ok because I just copied and pasted from my email. It’s an invitation to one of my customers’ (and great friend) 8 week mastermind coaching program. I am definitely attending, and I think you should participate too… especially since Freddie has offered to take 66% off his normal tuition fee!

Hello Tim, Welcome to 2010. It’s going to be a great year!

I always felt that if there was a support system in place during challenging times, we would not need to walk away from our business and gain the support and knowledge to help us through the harder personal times. Well, I have finally found the answer that has worked for me and I think has and will work for many others. The MasterMind Coaching program that Coach Freddie is teaching has been a great source of insight.

Your Dream Coach, Freddie Cecchini, Coaching with Soul and Making Life Easier
Quote by Jack Canfield
“Every single thought is a statement of your dreams to the universe, Every single thought you have generates a physiological change in your body. You are a product of all the thoughts you have thought and actions you have taken up until now.”
Quote by Louise Hay
“The THOUGHTS we choose to think are the tools we use to paint the canvas of our lives.”
Freddie Cecchini… Your MasterMind Coach
Freddie says life is a game… some (have small dreams) play in the street… some (have big dreams) play in the Olympics. Where are you playing… in the street or the Olympics? You see… when the players are ready the Coach will appear. Dream Big“
But for some reason I was sent a link to this Will Smith video earlier today, and then this Brian Tracy article later in the afternoon. Normally I don’t even click on this stuff. Why I decided to follow the links to watch the video and read the article, I still don’t know.
Let’s just say… I got a lot out of these, and I think you will too. So I felt compelled to share them both here!
“I want the world to be a better place because I was here.”
“If you’re not making someone else’s life better, you’re wasting your time.”
These are my favorite quotes from this compilation video. I hope you enjoy this video as much as I have!
Planning Your Year
Brought to You By:
Brian Tracy
There has never been a better time in all of human history to be alive than today. There are more opportunities for you to accomplish more things, in more different fields, engaging in more different activities, than have ever existed before.
Resolve today to make the coming year the very best year of your life. Resolve today to draw a line under your past and to focus very clearly on your future. Resolve today that you are going to set goals, make plans, take actions and achieve more in the coming year than perhaps you have ever accomplished in any one single year before.
One of the great rules for success is this: “It doesn’t matter where you’re coming from; all that really matters is where you’re going!”
No matter what you have done or accomplished in the past, “that was then and this is now.”
The very best days, weeks, months and years of your life lie ahead. The most exciting accomplishments and the greatest achievements are still to come. As Shakespeare said, “The past is merely a prelude.”
As it happens, everyone has goals. But some people seem to accomplish their goals far more systematically and with greater assurance than others. Why is this? The answer is simple. People who accomplish goals at a higher rate than the average are people who use a systematic, proven method of goal setting and goal attainment.
Perhaps the two most important qualities of success are focus and concentration.
Focus means knowing exactly what it is you want and concentration means having the discipline to concentrate single-mindedly on one thing, the most important thing, until it is complete.
If you have these qualities, and both of these qualities are learned through practice, you can accomplish virtually anything. There are no limits on your future if you can focus and concentrate every hour of every single day.
The starting point of setting goals for the coming year is for you to project forward and think back. Practice what we call “Back from the Future” thinking. Project forward to the end of the next twelve months and ask yourself, “If everything happens perfectly, what will it look like?”
The one quality of men and women who become leaders in their own lives and societies, throughout all of history is the quality of vision. They have the ability to visualize. They can see the future well in advance of it becoming a reality. They can then see the steps that they will need to take to get from where they are to where they want to go.
So if your next twelve months were ideal, in every respect, what would happen or, what would have happened, at the end of that twelve month period?
You need to set goals that are multi-dimensional. You need to set goals for every part of your life so that you function like a well-oiled machine, like a balanced wheel that goes around smoothly in every respect. You need goals for your health, for your career, for your finances, for your relationships, for your personal and professional development, for your community and for your spiritual growth. Nothing happens by accident. Everything happens for a reason. And you are the “primary creative force” in your own life. You are the reason. Things are happening in your life because you make them happen, not because you sit around and wait for them to happen.
Here is the basic seven-step model of goal setting. You can use this like breathing in and breathing out on a regular basis to accelerate your attainment of any goal you can imagine for yourself.
Step number one is for you to decide exactly what you want. This immediately moves you into a separate category of people because most people have no idea of what they really want. Clarity is the most important single quality of goal-setting and perhaps the most important single quality of success. Decide exactly what you want in each area of your life. Instead of fuzzy goals like more money, better health and happiness, be specific about exactly how much more money you want to earn in a specific period of time and combine that with exactly what level of health and fitness you desire.
Most people are unconsciously preoccupied with the fear of failure. It is the greatest single obstacle to success in adult life. And the fear of failure can work on you unconsciously by blocking you from setting clear specific goals. Why? Well, if you don’t set clear, specific goals, then you can’t fail to achieve them. So your subconscious mind is actually protecting you by helping you to avoid failure.
You must resist and overcome this tendency by having the courage to be bold and specific about exactly what you want. This is step number one.
Step number two is for you to write it down. Only three percent of living Americans, or adults anywhere for that matter, have written goals. Everyone else that thinks about a written goal and plans to write them down, someday. But they never get around to it. Most people spend more time making a list of groceries before they go shopping or planning a vacation than they do in planning their lives. But again, this is not for you. Success begins with a pad of paper, a pen and a few minutes of your time. One of the most important keys to success is to “think on paper.”
All successful people “think on paper.” And here are two important points. If you cannot write it down clearly and specifically on a piece of paper, then it means that you are not really clear about it yourself. Perhaps you don’t even want it. What is worse, it may be that you are afraid that you may not attain it. Nonetheless, a goal that is written down is merely a fantasy or a wish. A goal that is clearly written and described on a piece of paper takes on a power of its own, it is now something concrete that you can touch and feel and work with.
The second principle of writing goals down is that something miraculous happens between the head and the hand. When you actually write a goal down, it is as if you are programming it into your subconscious mind and activating a whole series of mental powers that will enable you to accomplish more than you ever dreamed of. By writing it down you intensify your desire for the goal and you increase your belief that the goal is possible. You begin to expect to achieve the goal and you start to attract people and circumstances into your life that are consistent with the attainment of the goal. Writing your goal down is one of the most amazing of all goal-setting skills and it is a key to your success.
The third step is for you to set a deadline. If it is a large goal, set a series of sub-deadlines. A deadline acts as a “forcing system” on your subconscious mind and begins to move you toward your goal rapidly while it moves your goal toward you.
Sometimes people ask me, “What if I set a goal and I don’t achieve it by the deadline?” The answer is simple. Set another deadline. Remember, a deadline is a guess-timate of when you will achieve it. Sometimes you will achieve your goal well in advance of your deadline. Sometimes goals will take much longer than you expect. But you must have a target time before you set off.
It is like making a reservation at a restaurant. You may be five minutes early or five minutes late, but you always have a specific time for which your dinner is reserved.
The fourth step is for you to make a list of everything you could possibly think of that you will have to do to achieve your goal. The more comprehensive your list, the more motivated you will become, the more intense will be your desire and the more you will believe it possible.
One of the things that hold people back is even if they get to the point of a written goal; they do not take the time to lay out a list of all the little things they will have to do to get there. And with additional experience, you will add new items to your list until it finally becomes complete.
The fifth step of goal setting is for you to take your list and organize it into a plan. A plan is really quite simple. It is a list organized by priority and importance. You decide what you will do first and what you will do later. You decide what is more important and what is less important. And most of all, you decide upon the one thing that is more important than anything else that you can do immediately to begin moving more rapidly towards your goal.
Step number six is for you to “take action!” This is the big killer for most people. They are procrastinators. They have great ideas combined with great hopes and dreams. They may even get to the point of writing down their goals. But when it comes to taking action, they always have a reason or excuse to procrastinate to put it off until a later time. However, as the Bible says, “Faith without deeds is dead.”
It is when you launch toward your goal that you begin to feel the desire and power that goes along with goal setting. And once you have launched toward your goal, it is much easier for you to continue moving in that direction.
Step number seven is for you to do something every day to move you toward your major goal. Never let a day go by without you engaging in some action that helps you move another step in the direction of what you really, really want in life.
Remember, you can’t hit a target that you can’t see. And if you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there. The simple seven step act of deciding exactly what you want, writing it down, setting a deadline, making a list, organizing the list into a plan, taking action on the most important item on your list and then doing something every day towards your goal will change your life and your future in ways that you cannot even dream of today.
Do you want to set goals for yourself—but don’t know where to start? With the step-by-step instructions in this easy-to-use workbook, Brian Tracy will show you a proven way to set and accomplish even your toughest goals. Decide today to turn all your dreams into a reality! With the Maximum Achievement Goal Planner achieving life-long success and abundance is easier than ever!
“You talk too much, Tim… And you take forever to get to the point”…
That’s what Susan Levin told me after she listened to the Speakers’ Summit overview recording I sent to you on Friday. So I said to her…
“But there’s so much cool information about the upcoming Speakers’ Summit I wanted everyone to know about, and I didn’t want to leave anything out.”
And she said…
“Yeah, but you didn’t even pronounce some of the speakers’ names right.”
“I thought that was pretty funny,” said I.
“You need to learn to communicate your ideas better and get right to the point,” she replied.
So I said…
“How about we do a complimentary webinar together? That way, I can ask you a bunch of questions about the event, and at the same time, our guests (and I) can get some great speaking tips, advice and coaching from you.”
And guess what she said?…
“OK… Let’s do it!”
So we set the date, and I made an information page where you can get all the details and instructions on how you can attend on Wednesday, April 8th at 10 am Pacific/ 12 noon Central or 1 pm Eastern >>> http://announcement.thebigwebinar.com/speaker-summit
By the way… if you missed my original announcement on Friday, and you’d like to see two examples of “How not to speak” (me and Elvira), you can see what I mean at http://thebigwebinar.com/news/summit
I hope to see you at the webinar. And I hope we can meet in person the first week of May!
