STOP!         Listen!

What's That Rushing, Sucking Sound?      It's The Deadly ....

Internet Marketing VORTEX!

Whooosh! goes the Vortex as it sucks you in...

"That's Another Great Offer! I MUST Buy It!
Let Me Spend More $$s..."

Schluurp!   goes the Vortex as it sucks you in...

"I've Just GOT To Watch Those Six Videos!
It Will Only Take Me A Few Hours..."

Your time - Schluurp, Whooosh. Sucked into the Vortex.

Your money - Whooosh, Schluurp. Sucked into the Vortex.

And your business? - Gurgle, gurgle... Glooop!  Down the drain!

Do you know what I'm talking about?

I see evidence of people being sucked into the Vortex everywhere I look - in forum posts, in private emails and conversations - and from my own personal experience. It is very disturbing.

What is the Vortex?

All the enticing offers that distract us from our core activities,
sucking us dry of our precious time and precious money.

I could go into a rant about the "IM Gurus" at this point, and blame them for everything (whoever "they" may be). But that's not the point.

When the top IMers address the IM market itself they do a superb job (on the whole). The problem is - they do it too well!

Which means, we have to take extra steps to protect ourselves - as I will explain in a moment.

Most of us have limited funds and only a few precious hours each week to devote to building our internet marketing business. So - unless we are 100% focused on our goals, our businesses will go cold and our credit cards will stay hot.

We all know this...and yet still we get drawn in by the incredibly persuasive art of internet marketing itself! 100s of times each week we get exhortations to:

• "Take time out to listen to this teleseminar - your future finances depend on it! "

• "Watch this amazing video series of a guru earning $1 million in 30 days!"

• "Sign up for this one-of-a-kind, never-to-be-repeated mentoring program!"

• "Buy this eBook! Follow this sure-fire blueprint to $40K per month in 60 days!"

• "Do this! Do that! Check out this! Check out that! Click here! Click there! Read this! Read that! Come here! Go there! Stand on your head and sing "Danny Boy"

Schlurp! Whoosh! Schlurp! Whoosh! Schlurp! Whoosh! Gurgle, Gurgle... Glooop!

We're in the Vortex again, and that's the sound of our business being sucked up and drained away!

But take heart. There is a way out of the Vortex. It's not rocket science. In fact, it's obvious!

What you need is Focus!

Actually, you need more than that. You need: Laser-Focus!

Single-minded determination!

I know, I know! You know that already, right? I'm not telling you anything new.

So look at it another way. In reality, what you need is a Laser-Focus SHIELD!

In other words, you need a Shield to "protect" you from the impact of unwanted offers, allowing you to remain Laser-Focused on your business.

I'm not talking about spam protection here.

I'm talking about a systematic way of responding to offers - some of which really are valuable to you, but most of which are not.

The question is - how do you know when to say "No! I'm not even going to watch that free video!", and when to say "That's a great bargain - here's my credit card!" ?

The trick is to have an immediate answer to these two vital questions:

• "Is this valuable for ME?" And

• "Do I need it NOW?"

If you can't answer those questions instantly and with conviction, you're going to loose that precious focus and get sucked into the deadly Vortex.

That is where the Laser-Focus Shield comes to the rescue. I created it as a tool to help me stay out of the Vortex myself. I escaped the Vortex a while ago after a long and painful struggle, but it's always Whooshing and Sluurping around my inbox and browser.

The Laser-Focus Shield consists of a 21-page Report and a powerful Mind Map.

Here is what the Report does:

• Explains how you can determine your Monthly Wasted Expenditure. The goal is to reduce this to close to zero.
   

• Shows you why it is so hard to resist the offers from the IM Gurus. If you didn't think you needed help before, read this and you'll understand why you do.
  IM Gurus + IMers = an explosive mix!
   

• Explains why having your own agenda is so critical. Is that too obvious? Not when you understand the master strategy of the IM Gurus!
   

• Describes my simple 3-Stages Model of an Internet Marketing business - so you can understand exactly where you are. This model will change you way you think about your business.
   

• Lists the 8 types of offer that we are most commonly subjected to. This helps you understand the nature of your "enemy", so you can build better defences.
   

As well as the Report, the Laser-Focus Shield also includes 24 simple Mind Maps (eight types of offer x 3 Stages) merged into one master map. These powerful maps are your actual SHIELD against the irresistible offers from the gurus! They advise you how to respond to each of eight different types of offer by asking yourself key, relevant questions.

Here's a peek at one of them expanded:

This Laser-Focus Shield is the beginning of a new era in your internet marketing success story! And it is available at an incredibly low price.

You need to escape from the Vortex, so I have made sure that price is not a barrier.

So ask yourself the key questions now

• "Is this valuable for ME?"  ..............YES!

• "Do I need it NOW?" ......................YES!

And now ask yourself one more question. For the sake of your time, your credit card and
the success of your business....

• "Can I afford $7?"..........................You decide

STOP!         Listen!

Those Whooshing and Schluurping sounds are getting fainter and fainter already...

Bonuses!

What? You still expect bonuses after reading this page? You want more distractions?
