Happy Valentines Day!

Recently Facebook introduced their Timeline… their brand new look for your profile. 

The slogan for it is “Tell your life story with a new kind of profile”…

And it is definitely optimized for  you to easily be able to share important, fun, and memorable life events with your friends and even include them in on it.

From your birth, to first kiss, getting engaged, meeting an influential person in your life, first job, graduation, getting married, having your first, second and third child… and the list goes on….

I haven’t spend much time going back and entering any events really, but when I recently lost a client to leukemia, I didn’t want to ever forget about him and the amazing and giving, and energetic person he was… I did create a special space for him on my Timeline. 

It was a truly sad event, and writing this got me sobbing again. 

But it’s not the purpose of this email. 

I just noticed that only about 1450 of my close to 5000 friends, have activated their Timeline. 

So that means that there’s a big chance you haven’t done it as well. 

I know, so many of us are afraid of all the changes that Facebook, introduces. 

But if you are in business, I want to share with you just one of the reasons why I love my Timeline better than my old profile. 

With the new Timeline you now have more precious real estate to advertise your business or anything you want to really. And you can easily through images express yourself and who you are.

And you do this by the very first huge image at the top of your profile.

It’s called the cover. 

You can use any image from your FB albums, or upload a brand new one, or there are plenty of sites, that offer great, fun and funny and cool covers. Just search for FB covers on Google. 

But if you’re in business you might want to use your cover a bit more wisely.

You can use it just like a Billboard, that advertises you and your brand, your website, an online or offline event, a brand new product, your FB business page… or anything else. 

And as you can see in the image below, I’m utilizing it quite effectively to promote my upcoming online webinar. Check it out:

So if you haven’t activated your Timeline but you’re in business, not only do you want to show you are staying ahead of the curve with the newest technologies, but you also want to start utilizing it in the most effective way. So just make the move… it’s not so scary!

If you want to leverage Facebook, this year like the Pros go ahead and head over to:

How much time do you spend on Facebook?

Based on some of the latest stats you may easily be spending anywhere between 1 and 3 hours on Facebook each day.

Yikes! That’s a lot of time…

Question is, how much of that time you spend is actually productive and with the clear purpose to create results in your business?

Perhaps indeed your intentions and attempts are to accomplish exactly that, to create results and be productive, but it isn’t working quite like that, is it?

I want to change this for you, and help you spend a lot less time on Facebook that what you’re spending right now, but make it three times as lucrative for your business than it is rigth now.

I am putting together a webinar this Saturday the 11th at NOON PST, where you’ll discover how you can totally leverage Facebook in 2012 and create consistent visibility, engagement and profitability for your business with a simple, easy and leveraged strategy.

Join me at:

See ya soon,

I’ve been talking a lot about the concept of input vs. output lately.

I first heard it in these terms from Rich Schefren.

Most people tend to focus on way more input i.e. devouring education, training after
training rather than emphasizing on the output, the action, the implementation of all that new knowledge.

For the last few months I’ve certainly have been the other way around where I started to
feel like I seriously needed some more input.

Creating a balance between the two and finding the “sweet spot” should be the goal.

So today, while I encourage you to spend time on output, make sure you get in some
good quality input too.

There’s all sort of flashy distractions out there when it comes to input.

What you want to make sure is that you’re getting your daily input from a reliable and
quality source, plus on training that actually matters for the progress of your business.

The training that I’m devouring today is focusing on TRAFFIC.

I think we all know that without traffic, there’s no leads, nor there’re sales.

And this industry has been a little bit on a dry traffic spell ever since the Google slap.

So I’m super happy to see some new quality traffic training and for free out there.

My friends Ferny and Ray from SEO networker just released a series of 4 videos on the topic of traffic, and the 1st full hour video is now available.

Inside they are teaching on the different traffic sources and strategies, they’ve focused on researching for the last couple of years, as well as what’s worked best for them and how you can too best utilize their new found secrets.

I am in the middle of watching video #1, and I am blown away by the value, this seriously should cost money…

Anyways, since it’s getting late here in Bulgaria, I thought I would send you this quick email so you can join me too in watching it.

Click here to get your share of input today.

This is truly valuable training so make sure you remove all distractions and focus intently on everything Ferny will be sharing with you.

Oh and don’t forget your pen and paper, you’ll need it to take notes, so you can then turn around and get into output mode.

Ferny and Ray are seriously promising that if you do everything they tell you to do in these 4 free videos, you’ll be getting some substantial results when it comes to traffic, leads and sales.

And I know these guys to be oozing in integrity! So I trust them when they make such huge claims.

To Your Success,
DiDi

Please don’t laugh when I tell you this story. It’s not really funny, it’s sad and ironic but it’s the reality for many.

*********************************************************************************

About a couple of weeks ago… I was getting ready to fly to Florida for the Live 
The Dream event. 

It’s about midnight, and I was still packing my bag. I had to be at the airport at 5:30 am.

Shower… check
Suitcase… zipped

Doorbell??? Not expecting that one…

“Who can be in this late hour? I am not expecting anyone, and people don’t show up
at my door unannounced like that at midnight.”

You see I’m currently staying in a 6 floor building, the common what we call “block” in
Bulgaria built during the Soviet union kind of old building. And let’s just say the isolation of the walls can feel like a Chinese torture chamber.

So I open the door, and whom do I see – An angry looking woman in her PJ’s, my neighbor from the top floor. She starts yelling at me furiously, “I am tired of this circus. Your house is like a “wh*re house”… (literally she said that) I hear all this moaning every
night… it’s unacceptable… I have to go to work tomorrow and I can’t fall asleep.”

“Hmm, wow… moaning… what is this woman talking about?” I was in shock a little bit, because there was no noise that I could hear myself, and I was in the actual apartment.

She was either crazy or some of the other neighbors were just making “nicee nice” with
each other if you know what I mean?

I politely excused myself and sent her off and started thinking…

Wow, a while back, I would have probably gotten myself all wrapped up in the drama of this lady, probably would have started fighting with her and would have consumed my
time, thoughts, energy for maybe even days to come, sharing this story with friends,
complaining about the woman, maybe even making some actual real noise, to get her
even more pissed off for knocking on the wrong door. You get it.

But not now!

I now know what the consequences for allowing that sort of energy into my life are.

You see, this is called drama… and most people try to drag you into their drama so
they are not miserable alone. Miserable, although the ego deep inside is quite satisfied and that’s why it’s hard to let go of the drama, unless you become highly aware of what’s happening and how much automatic the response to run toward drama has become over the years.

Just think about it… Do you have people in your life who constantly live for the drama
and try to involve others in it too?

I know some and I tend to stray away from them. Some are very easily identified… they
are always dealing with something… flat tire, somebody broke their house window,
they are always in some sort of pain, they are always late for work, dealing with some
sort of disease, etc., etc.

Unfortunately, the majority of our society lives in their daily personal drama, they live FOR the drama.

But if you are in business, and you consider yourself an entrepreneur I highly encourage
you to become alert and aware of whether you’ve got your “daily drama pattern” on. I am serious!

Drama is ok for people with a J.O.B, especially if they hate it. Hey maybe it’s
even good for them, it keeps them entertained, and distracted from their miserable reality of doing something that they don’t love. Just playing…

Drama isn’t good for anyone. 
It’s just a beautiful way to keep yourself distracted from what truly matters.
Maybe you don’t knock on your neighbors door trying to pick a fight, or have a black 
cloud following you around type of drama always raining on you.

But here is some of the drama that I see many entrepreneurs get involved in, and I’ve 
Done it plenty of times…

Let’s call it mindset drama… negative chatter, or should I say limiting beliefs and excuses.

Let’s be honest, these are just pure laziness in disguise. But sometimes they are 
legit. I shouldn’t say legit, but more so habitual thoughts that just need a little 
bit more consistent effort and desire to get rid of.

Some of my “drama” or limiting beliefs in the past have been telling myself “I am not
confident, I am not good at connecting with people, or I am not a good writer, I am not
good on the phone, I don’t feel confident in teaching others and creating my own products, or I am not a good presenter, I am scared of getting on a webinar, I won’t 
succeed”… etc., etc.

I am sure that if you haven’t obtained the success you want in your business, you most
likely have some of these or similar limiting beliefs. Similar drama that goes on in your
mind, that most likely attracts real tangible drama in your life that keeps you away and
prevents you from taking real results-producing action.

This is real simple stuff if you think about it and break it down to the core of where
inaction and distraction come from.

The challenge is that sometimes it’s very subtle, it goes on in our subconscious mind
very quietly, you could hardly hear it… and that’s why you must truly LISTEN.

Now, I know you’re like me if you are still reading this email and you don’t want to
keep being stuck.

All the time, you think about a way out of the misery and anguish you put yourself in every single day, that prevents you from taking action toward achieving that financial
freedom and happiness you want in your life.

I want you to get unstuck and join thehundreds of conscious entrepreneurs who are
moving forward and achieving success after success every single day.

And so I’ve put together with my collaboration partner Glenn Arcaro, something special for you that I think you’ll enjoy very much, because it is your golden ticket to success, if you choose to grab it that is.

We are holding a live webinar this Thursday with Mr. Mark Hoverson.

https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/248988082



Mark is an 8-figure entrepreneur who’s lived in some of the worse situations you could be in, VERY nurturing to drama… like living in a trailer with pregnant wife and young kids, qualifying for welfare, car breaking down in the middle of highway… etc. etc.

But now he’s seeing some of the best… he somehow learned to immune himself, vaccinate himself against drama and reach the levels of success he desired and is still going strong.

On a side note: once you get on a new pattern and in a momentum you’ll be set, it’s just how it works.

Come create these new patterns with us:

https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/248988082



We’re going to be going with Mark over some of the fundamentals that you as an entrepreneur must be focusing on to get yourself out of whatever internal and/or
external drama you’re living in right now, that’s blocking you from success.

This will be action oriented call. You got to take action if you want to see changes. You
have to start doing things differently, if you want to see different results.

Mark, Glenn and I will show you exactly what actions you must take in order to see the
results you are looking for in business.

https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/248988082



So block the drama for an hour this Thursday at 6pm PST and come with a completely open mind!

Join us at this link…
https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/248988082



Know that there is a way out… You don’t have to keep being stuck.

How much do you really want it? Success?

Freedom? Happiness?

Just come and grab it, it’s yours.

See you at this link on Thursday, 6pm PST…
Grab your seat right now and come in on a few minutes early as it’ll be a full house.

I know it’s been a while and and finally the time has come to reveal
the lucky ones who are getting the exciting bonuses Glenn Arcaro
and I put together in relations to the Get Traffic 3.0 launch.

Before I announce the winners, I wanted to try and convey a very
important message today that hopefully will stay with you and have
an impact on you for the rest of your life.

During the past week I had the amazing pleasure to be a guest
speaker at the EBE Live Summit hosted by my good friends Alicia
Bausley and Lisa Hanfileti together with Emma Tiebens and Elaine
Starling. It was a great experience, lot’s of great content and value.

There I also launched my Facebook Mastery Club
training course, which I am very excited to dive into with the
founding members and students. I will be extending you an
invitation shortly so that you can join us too if you choose to.

During the past week, I also went through a major emotional
turmoil after learning about the tragic death of my 18-year-old
cousin, Toni who I loved dearly. It’s been a few days now and
I’ve shed many tears for him and my family, my aunt and uncle
and my grandparents. I had never experienced the loss of a close
one, except my dog Rexy a few years back. I guess I am only 25
and I was expecting that when I begin to experience this natural
to the cycle of life thing called death, it would be involving
the oldest people in my life.

Toni’s sudden death has completely shocked and shook my world.
It is making me realize on a completely new level that life is
truly short, and for some much shorter.

I’ve heard it said so many times by my mentors and inspirational
speakers that we have only one life to live and every moment counts.

It is true, but I don’t think it had really sunk for me on a
deeper level until now.

How I wish I was able to hug my cousin Toni right now, and yet
that would never happen, because he is gone. And it brings tears
to my eyes and it makes my heart hurt so much.

But life for all of us continues.

It is a precious life.

Every breath is precious.

So take a deep breath and enjoy it with all of your senses, because
you are alive and you have the blessing to breath and feel alive.

You are alive, so choose to feel alive.

So many of us tend to dread through live almost as if we are
waiting for the last moment to come. Not realizing that it will
come and when it comes, this is it. It’s coming anyways so why
not live your live ALIVE.

As I make this decision for myself today, I invite you to join
me, to live your life with love in every moment, to count the
blessings in your life each day. To love and adore the people in
you life and to show that love fully and in every moment.

I know we as entrepreneurs have goals and dreams and we want to
reach success.

But what is success?

How have you defined success for yourself?

Have you even defined it?

I realize that being able to spend time with my family is
success for me now. It hadn’t been one of my priorities because
I thought I had the time, and that I first had to make the
money. Now I realize that my priorities need to be revised.

I also want to contribute and impact other people’s lives in a
positive way.

And what I realize is that all the big dreams and goals that I
have, and I am sure you do too are something that I can actually
experience on a daily basis, on the way to achieving them, in
every moment, on the journey toward them.

You and I can experience our dreams…

While on the journey toward our dreams.

While on the journey toward our mini and major goals.

While on the journey of living life….

…if only we remembered to live life “as if today is the last day of my
life, so when it is the last day of my life it is the best day
of my life”

So as you start working on your business today, make sure you take
a deep breath and enjoy every moment of the day, enjoy the learning curve,
the making of the mistakes along the way and the new small successes along
the way.

Now, I would like to announce the winners of our contest related to
Get Traffic 3.0.

The Grand PRIZE $5k branding video goes to – Tony Dempsey!

Hello my awesome fellow entrepreneurs!

If you’ve been plugging into the series here at this blog about Developing a Profitable Online Presence you know that I am sharing with you some fundamental steps that one’s to take in order to get started in the process. I am also going to be sharing much more details about all the different components required to get yourself established correctly online. (coming soon…)

The way I decided to approach this series was that I share how I am creating my new online presence and sharing, tips, training and resources that I plug into along the way. My journey had been slowed down a little bit by several different entrepreneurial endeavors and prior commitments I had, like taking on Mike Klingler’s challenge and strengthening one of my marketing sweet spots that was already in place. I am happy to announce that this is coming along quite nicely and I can’t wait to share the process of that with you.

Now if you’ve been following these series you know that one very important component has been that you and I ask ourselves some very important questions to help us truly identify our true passion so that we know if we are moving in the right direction and so that we make sure we align our brand and presence online with that passion.

In this process I DISCOVERED that I feel passionate about being an entrepreneur and and that I feel that one of my biggest passions is empowering other entrepreneurs in their journey to success. And as I started to think about how to align my new online presence online with that passion I conceived the idea  http://SocialMediaPress.com where any Entrepreneur will be able to come to “Hear, Share and Be The News”. I describe just a little bit about it in the article about these important questions – Identify and Align Your Passion with Your Online Presence

The Best Brilliant Idea For Humanity

I believe that Entrepreneurs are changing the world and impacting and have potential to impact humanity in an amazingly positive ways that I can even begin to conceive.

And so when I received this random email in my email box about a week ago, to join a contest called “The Best Brilliant Idea For Humanity” it didn’t take much thinking after reading the page to know that I MUST participate in this contest and share my brilliant idea with the World.

I realize this is quite a stretch for me, and that was one of the reasons I HAD to do it. But I also realize that I am quite passionate about Social Media Press and creating a platform that empowers and facilitates the Global Entrepreneur and the Global Entrepreneurial Movement and I know this Movement is one that is already empowering and will empower millions of people around the world and it is an idea worth sharing.

In Round 1 starting August 2nd ending September 15th 10% of the contestants will move to the next Round based on number of Votes. People will be able to vote 1 time each round for anyone participating in the contest. Round number 1 revolves around each contestant presenting their Best Brilliant Idea for Humanity and creating a “Pitch Video” about their idea.

So here is what I would like your help with. I would like to very much involve you in the process of this competition if you are interested in that.

I would love to hear from you below in the comments area answering some questions I’ve posted below.

If you are here than you are already an entrepreneur or I want to be an entrepreneur and I want to hear from you, I want you to spill your guts here. If you have ideas of what my pitch video and script should be about please share your ideas. And go ahead and answer the following questions. I so much appreciate you my friend and your involvement in this very close to my heart project that ultimately is serving you and the entire entrepreneurial movement!

Why Do You Think Entrepreneurs Are Changing The World Right Now or have the Potential to in the next 10 years? And HOW?

What does the term and actual Global Entrepreneurial Movement means to you and what kind of impact or changes is it bringing about in the World?

Why do you choose to be an entrepreneur?

What do you think is the main reason that 40% of the employees in the US will become independent contractors (entrepreneurs) in the next 10 years?

What does the term “Social Entrepreneur” means to you?

I might add some more questions here soon. But for now let me know what ya thinking my awesome fellow entrepreneurs!

*If you haven’t subscribed yet to follow these series about Building an Online Presence please opt in at the upper right side of this blog, right under my welcome video.

Oh, and don’t forget to share the love by re-tweeting this post!
