Don’t know how long this video is up or when it will be replaced - so watch it now!

http://www.empowernetwork.com/livefromthebeach.php?id=Xarah

Around minute 57 Dave explains how you can get the 15K Formula for $250 and sell it for  $1000 - and keep those $1000 (100% commissions). You gotta watch it all the way to there to understand the 15K Formula.

This offer is not going to stay long. Maybe a couple of weeks. Then it’ll be $1000 for everybody.

Do I have it? Yes, I do! Are you kidding? I’m not gonna leave that kind of money on the floor.

Are you flakey?

Later in the video Dave talks about “being flakey”  and that’s so funny because when I got in, I was flaking. Never heard this term before though LOL another new word learned…

But I was only flaked for a few nights  (chuckle)

Why nights? Because I couldn’t sleep. I was afraid I would lose on commissions while I was sleeping so I got all in.

The bear story

The bear story David Wood tells is so amazing.

Wild bears have different eyes than caged bears. And… well… listen to Dave how he tells the story.

I wonder how many people are like that caged bear. Just staring at freedom and not being able to do anything, just lie there, staring. Not believing. Just staring. Not seeing. Just staring.

How many people are like that bear?

Doesn’t that make you feel sad? It sure makes me feel sad. And I want to help those people, but first they have to get up and test if those bars are still there. And even if, rattle them!

Pinging with Ping.fm

I finally did it! I got my ping.fm account. Boy it was easier than I thought it would be. I created a new email address for this purpose which I will also use if and when I sign up for social networks I don’t have yet.

With just a few clicks I added Facebook, Myspace, Twitter and LinkedIn to my new Ping.fm account.

What’s better: A Plan - A Map

The video about the new google map inspired me to write about what maps or plans mean to me.

Seriously. Everybody needs a plan if they want to go anywhere. Unless of course you just want to wander around or go for a walk, but you still need to have a plan to find your way back home. Even following the stars, the moon or the sun is kind of a map.

Though I do love to just walk about when I’m on a Maldivian island - without much of a plan. I like to chose small round ones. I can simply just walk around it, look at the palm trees, count the coconuts, watch the waves and let my brain wander around, too. Eventually I end up at my beach chair.

Traveling without a plan

Without a plan or a map you end up anywhere but usually not where you wanted to go.

When I travelled through Canada, the only plan we had was “going west”. We didn’t have a plan and thus arrived in Vancouver almost a week too early.

Because we didn’t really have a plan: how long will it take us to go from town A to town B? Is there anything interesting on the way that’s worth a trip to the north or south? We actually did miss some interesting places. Often we thought we didn’t have the time to drive 3 hours into another direction than west. I learned even if you have 3 weeks, it’s a good idea to have at least a simple plan, and do some research.

A plan is not a map

Not only when traveling you need to have a plan or a map.

A map can show you where you are right now, where you want to go and what’s around you that might need your attention eventually.

The plan shows you where you want to go. Gives you a time frame. And helps to stay focused.

Getting lost

Should you still get distracted and you find you chased a shiny nickel, your map will show you where you are now and how to find your way back home and your plan will put you on track again.

I think sometimes it’s ok to chase a shiny nickel, as long as you don’t forget to bring your map along. Unfortunately I see too many people who must have forgotten to bring their map or never gotten one and keep chasing one shiny object after the other.

Guess what.

They get lost. Will have a hard time to find back home. Maybe never will. They will wander the earth for ever. Do you know anybody like that?

Don’t you want to help them?

Once in a while (more often when I was younger LOL) I meet someone who is lost. And I want to help them to find their way back home. And it’s so frustrating because they won’t even take a look at the map. Of course, now I know it’s my map, it’s not much use to them.

So, now I just strole along with them (keeping my map firmly to myself and my plan in mind) and see if I can help them choose a direction when they come to a crossing. Sometimes they chose to change their direction and strole with me, follow my map until they can draw up their own.

Enough of the anology?

If you feel lost with all the business opportunities being thrown at you, this is my offer to you:

Get yourself an Empower Blog (like this one) through one of the banners on this site.

You will not only get the 8 fast start videos to help you draw your own map, you will get access to a private membership site with training about many topics, like blogging, keyword research and much more.

You will also get a 15 minute private coaching lesson with me.

I believe such a blog will help you stay on your track because it will like a harbor for you where you can come back any time. Like one hub for your different interests.

A place to go back every day. Training that’ll help you with anything you are involved and want to stay involved.

Watch the presentation or just get your blogging system from here. It’s only $25/mo, well worth a ready-set up monetized blog on an authority website. Anyway. Thanks for reading and…

Stay on track with a map or a plan, or both.

How to find your Way Home - The new Google Map - Interactive

If this is how you think you get to a 5-figure income, you need to call your sponsor or get plugged into The Inner Sanctum System by our leaders at Empower Network.

I lost her after the third oak though.

But I’m not lost at Empower Network.

Very grateful to all the leaders putting up all the training and tips and info even though at times it can be mind boggling.

I am just now realizing that my links to my other blog at Empower Network are being blocked by Facebook and myWot. And I’m not the only one. All Empower Network Blog posts are being blocked. Are they afraid of us?

That is an issue that is affecting the Facebook traffic from the ENTIRE NICHE, not just us – so pay attention.)

We need to stand against pointless ‘nazi’ tyranny, and can’t allow bigot’s to control an entire industry’s Facebook traffic. If you are affected too, ask me for the “facebookbigots” link with the instructions what you can do about it.

Online banking is quick, easy and convenient.

Gone are the days when the only way you could pay your bills, check your accounts and transfer money was by walking into the bank. The convenience is unarguable, but what about the risks?

Yes there are risks to online banking. If you take the proper precautions, however, the risk level drops and becomes safer than using an ATM.

So how do you protect yourself while banking online?

Here are six essential precautions so that you can enjoy the luxury of online banking without worrying about the safety of your account.

Avoid Public Internet Access

Never log on to your banking accounts while on any public or semi-private internet connection. This includes the WI-FI at your local coffee shop, hotels and resorts, your local library or the airport.

Password Protect Your Internet Access

If you have wireless internet at home or in the office, make sure that you protect it with a password so that it can’t be broken into by unscrupulous people. If your connection is not secure, then anyone who wants to can access it and potentially grab the information that is being transmitted.

It’s similar to the old shared telephone lines. Remember those? You’d pick up and could listen to your neighbors’ conversations? Well, you definitely don’t want that if you’re banking online - or transmitting anything that you would not want public.

Protect Your Passwords

Don’t use your birthday or your kid’s names as your passwords for online banking. That’s a really bad idea. You want to create a password that’s near-impossible to crack and then you want to keep it safe. The safest place if you can do it is in your memory. Of course a secure password has a mix of letters and numbers and is oftentimes difficult to remember.

If you must write your passwords down, keep the information in a safe and secure place. And of course don’t share your passwords with others.

Don’t Trust Email

Highly sensitive information should never be sent in an email. If for some reason you have to share your banking logins then do so over the telephone, not via email.

Don’t Take The Bait

There are many email scams online where thieves will try to get your information by pretending to be your bank or some other company. They put up a fake website and send you an urgent message demanding you click the link in the email and log in to your account immediately. This is a ploy to capture your log in information so they can drain your accounts. Don’t let this happen!

Never (ever) click on links within emails to log in to banking accounts. This includes any brick and mortar bank that you’re using, online only banks, and even (especially) Paypal.com. Instead browse straight to the website by typing in the domain - just as you would type in CNN.com or Yahoo.com into your address bar.

No good banking institutions will ever send you emails with links in them because they know about phishing and they don’t want to confuse you by having you try to figure out when it’s a real (and safe) link and when it’s not.

Keep Up Software, Virus Protection and Firewalls

Make sure you have the best virus protection you can find on your computer and keep it up to date. Another way hackers can get your information is by breaking into your computer and stealing it.

You’ll also want to make sure that you keep your internet browsers and any tools you use to access online accounts (email software, etc) updated.

Now you have some real actions steps that you can take right away to protect yourself while banking online. Of course, banking online will never be 100% guaranteed safe but if you avoid some of these most common dangers, then you’ll be much safer. Happy banking!

PS: Are you a blogger? Are you earning money with it yet?

Email Security and Password Protection Online

Online security is something everyone should be concerned with.

Two of the most common things we do online is check emails and login to a variety of websites. In this article we are going to focus on those two tasks and discuss how you can protect yourself from having your information stolen or abused.

Email Security

Most people rely upon email these days, a lot, both in their personal lives and for day-to-day business communication. Email is a fast and easy way to communicate but it does pose risks. Hackers can break into your account and steal it from you, then use the information to break into other accounts. They can also hijack your email account to send out spam and viruses to all on your contact lists.

Here are some ways to protect yourself from email security breaches:

1. Use unique passwords for each email address.
2. Don’t post your email address publicly on websites.
3. Keep a separate (secret) email address for sensitive online accounts such as banking and government logins.
4. Don’t give your email out to third-party sites if you haven’t checked into their legitimacy and read their privacy policy.
5. Don’t share your email login and password with others.
6. Be careful of sending any secure info via email when using public WI-FI.

Be smart with your email. Keep it safe and avoid giving out your email unless you are certain it won’t be abused.

Password Protection

Now, let’s move on to Password Protection. If you’re like most people then the issue of keeping track of your logins for the vast number of websites you visit is quite overwhelming. So you’ve solved the problem by making the same login for every single site you have an account for.

Smart move?

Not on your life!

If you’ve done this, it’s time to take action now before you give away all the information anyone needs to cause you some serious stress. If your identity gets stolen it’s no joke. You’ll have to deal with the repercussions of having someone break into your bank accounts, set up loans in your name, get a fake driver’s license courtesy of you and do nameless other acts that could tie you up with major problems for years and years.

Where do we start protecting ourselves? With proper password protection.

Here are some of the ways you must start protecting your passwords today:

• Use a combination of upper and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols in your password.
• Change your most important and sensitive passwords monthly.
• Never use the default security questions on a website if you have the choice to make up your own.
• Use a program to auto-fill your passwords so that key logger software can’t steal your login information.
• Never share your passwords with anyone.
• Never send your passwords via email or instant messenger.
• Never log into websites containing sensitive information while on public internet access.

Protecting your passwords and your email accounts don’t have to take up a ton of time, money or effort. It’s more of an awareness than anything. Please don’t keep this information to yourself. Education the ones you love, too.

If you go here, you are asked to give your email-address. Don’t worry. Your email-address will only go to me and I have no interest of spaming you or selling, renting or giving away your email-address. I only use it to stay in touch with you.

Are You at Risk of Identity Theft Online?

The internet is used mainly for three things — searching, sharing, and shopping.

In only a few years, the web has opened up a whole new world where communication is happening that would have never been possible in the past. It’s all great and fun to have that power available for good but when it’s used for bad — it can be very bad.

Online identity theft is a real and serious issue.

You may not realize it yet, but criminals spend day after day looking for new ways to steal your information - including your birthday, address, social security numbers, and any other information that would allow them to pass themselves off as you. They’re also constantly looking for ways to access your credit card numbers, so they can buy that big screen TV they’ve been eying up - on your dime.

They’re skilled, they’re sneaky, and they’re steadfast. They are continually looking for ways around the protection systems that the good guys have put in place. Unfortunately, since the good guys have a hard time thinking like criminals — oftentimes they are a step ahead of what security is prepared for.

My goal here is not to scare you out of using the internet altogether but to make you aware of the most common dangers when it comes to online identity theft. That way you can be net-smart and hopefully avoid some of the mistakes that could cost you a ton of hardship, heartache and headache!

Quick test if you are at risk of identity theft online

So what I have for you today is a quick test you can take to find out if you are at risk of identity theft online. I recommend that you print out the questions below and check Yes or No to each to determine if you are doing your part to keep your personal information safe.

Self-Quiz: Am I at Risk of Identity Theft Online?

Do I use a different password for every online account I have registered?
____ Yes ____ No

Is each password impossible to guess?
____ Yes ____ No

Do I have up-to-date virus protection on my computer?
____ Yes ____ No

Do I store my private passwords in a password protected area on my computer or away from my computer completely?
____ Yes ____ No

Do I avoid storing private information (such as banking, credit cards or anything sensitive enough to be used against me) on my computer?
____ Yes ____ No

Do I avoid accessing WI-FI to login to secure areas such as email, banking accounts, etc?
____ Yes ____ No

Do I avoid posting my personal information (such as email, phone, address, etc.) on public websites for all the world to see?
____ Yes ____ No

Do I use due-diligence to ensure that the websites I purchase from are trustworthy and that the shopping cart is secure?
____ Yes ____ No

Do I clear my computer’s history on a regular basis?
____ Yes ____ No

Do I keep a separate email account for anything that will be visible publicly?
____ Yes ____ No

Am I skeptical of any ‘to good to be true’ offers online and protective of giving out my name and email to every offer I find?
____ Yes ____ No

If you answered yes to most or all of these questions then you’ve done a pretty good job of protecting yourself online.

If you answered no to more than one or two questions than you have work to do.

Not passed the test?

Some of the reasons why people don’t pass the checklist above with flying colors is that they are short on time, money and the technical know-how to set things up. It’s so important that you take note right now and take this seriously. Figure out a way to get this done, even if you have to hire an expert to do it for you.

No matter how little time or money you have right now, it will be child’s play compared the the time, cost and frustration you’ll experience if your identity is stolen.

Protect yourself now so you won’t regret it later.
