		<description>Someone mentioned that the Master Key System was their first introduction to the secret, that&#039;s funny - in our house the process was backwards, we found the secret, then an RSI church locally and now we have an online study of The Master Key System starting up at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.masterkeycommunity.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;www.masterkeycommunity.com&lt;/a&gt; hopefully some of you will join us, it&#039;s free of course</description>

		<description>I really want to endorse the things you are teaching. The Law of Attraction radically changed my life when I was introduced to it by the amazing Bob Proctor a little over 18 months ago.
I was a struggling entrepreneur, financially broke and emotionally at the end of the line. Bob Proctor taught me the law of attraction and showed me how to massively alter the direction of my life.
I went from broke to a millionaire in just 6 months!
It was an amazing ride!
I tell how it worked for me on my site at http://lassothemoon.blogspot.com/</description>

		<description>Thanks so much Sherman, that&#039;s great.

I highly recommend that you watch The Secret - although I preface that by saying it&#039;s only an appetiser to what is really a 10-course feast.

To fully understand the law of attraction I recommend a course like Bob Proctor&#039;s (the one he talks about in the interview you recommended) which is based on the book The Science of Getting Rich, or Rebecca Fine&#039;s course - also based on the same book. The advantage of Rebecca&#039;s course is that you set your own tuition, so if you&#039;re a bit strapped for cash, you can pay accordingly. (Just click on the little man below and it will take you to her site.)

Also, the law of attraction is only one law in a much wider set. For anyone interested in finding out more, check out The Master Key. Rumour has it that it was this book that inspired Bill Gates to drop out of university to pursue his dream. You can get a free copy at: http://www.psitek.net/pages/PsiTekTMKSContents.html

The Master Key was my first introduction to &quot;the secret&quot;.

Cheers, Danielle</description>

		<description>I was reading a report recently. It&#039;s an interview with Bob Proctor (one of the &quot;actors&quot; in The Secret) by a guy called Stephen Pierce.

Proctor talked quite a bit about the law of attraction, which is THE secret. For someone who hasn&#039;t watched the full length version of The Secret (only the free ones on YouTube), the report really opens my mind after reading.

Worth a look.

You could get a copy of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.attractionoptimization.com/attractionaccelerator/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;bob proctor report&lt;/a&gt; here. It&#039;s free. ;)

		<description>Hi Dara,

That&#039;s absolutely true. And I think it&#039;s simply because as humans we have a natural tendency to always see the world from our own perspective, and put our own needs first (necessarily). So in business it&#039;s easy to forget to see and approach the situation from the other person (our customer&#039;s) perspective. But when we do, it pays off bigtime. I think it also has the benefit of helping us grow as people.

I love your niche business concept! I believe the pet industry is huge these days, so what a wonderful idea to cater especially to businesses in that market.</description>

		<description>Danielle,

Nice article with great reminders of what one can add to their service to get them the extra &quot;edge&quot; over competitors. I believe sometimes we as marketeers can get caught up in the marketing mix (pardon the pun) and forget that our customers are people. A marketeer should never forget that, but we are fallible like everyone else.</description>

		<description>Thanks Chris, glad you liked it!

That&#039;s so true - it astounds me too that it&#039;s taken this long for such powerful and valuable information to become common knowledge.

I agree that the movie is great, but I always like to recommend these books as &quot;back up&quot; reading because I know some people find the movie a bit too &quot;woo woo&quot; and hard to believe.

You know I was just over at your blog last night!! I really liked it (and especially love your focus on creativity) so I sent an email to a friend recommending it :)</description>

		<description>It still amazes me that these books from almost one hundred years ago are still thought of as the secret.

Great books and the modern movie on it is very well done.

Loved your bullet list.</description>

		<description>Hi Daniel,

Thanks so much for your comment. And yep I&#039;m sure our names are a core reason for being in sync! (A lot of people have trouble spelling my name so I just say, it&#039;s Daniel with an le!)

And yes absolutely, fundamental laws and principles never change, so although the language and examples used in these books are a little dated, their message is still highly relevant. I would go so far as to say they should be mandatory reading for entrepreneurs who truly want to succeed.

You know I only read Think and Grow Rich recently and in the intro he keeps refering to the information he&#039;s about to reveal as &quot;the secret&quot;, so perhaps that&#039;s where they got the title for the dvd from.

I just read your article, &lt;a href=&quot;http://ideaseller.typepad.com/idea_sellers/2007/05/selling_focus_o.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Selling Focus of E-Commerce Sites&lt;/a&gt; and love the additional points you make around the customer experience. Great article with very practical tips. Cheers!</description>

		<description>I believe we are on the same wavelength Danielle. Maybe our names have something to do with it!

The &lt;i&gt;Science of Getting Rich&lt;/i&gt; and other relics such as &lt;i&gt;Think and Grow Rich&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;As a Man Thinketh&lt;/i&gt; and many others are filled with pearls of wisdom that are still quite relevant today. Many modern writers and entrepreneurs are just discovering these treasures. 

I wholeheartedly agree with everything you said in your article! My many years in sales has taught me the true validity of the Golden Rule, the virtues of being a nice, friendly person and the attitude of service. As you have revealed; in the end, adding significant value is the key to success in sales and most other endeavors. Great job Danielle!</description>
