Mindcontrolmarketing.com Returns!

Mark Joyner wrote a classic marketing treatise: MindControlMarketing.com How Everyday People are Using Forbidden Mind Control
Psychology and Ruthless Military Tactics to Make Millions Online.

Mark sent me an "ebook" copy of the book about a month ago as part of a promotion, and I've been consuming that book like the "starving kids" in Ethiopia eat rice.

I don't mean to be crude. It's THAT good.




But rumor has it there's a missing chapter in that book.

So yes, you could buy this on amazon, but how would you like to download it for MUCH less - and get the missing chapter to boot?

On April 8, Mark Joyner will be re-releasing MindControlMarketing.
To learn more, watch Mark Joyner's video at the Mind Control Marketing website.

I have to admit, that although I already have a copy of the FIRST book, you can BET I'll be first in line when the doors open on April 8.

Why?

Because Mark's work has already changed my life in the three short months I've been working through Simpleology. I know that Mind Control Marketing is going to kick major booty!

The legendary book returns April 8. Get your copy before it's gone again!

Mark Joyner can be proud of his many accomplishments.

In less than 36 hours, his book, "MindControlMarketing: How Everyday People are Using Forbidden Mind Control Psychology and Ruthless Military Tactics to Make Millions Online" rocketed to number one on Amazon and left a cloud of dust in it's wake as it was taken out of print almost as quickly.

There were rumors as to why the book was pulled. Speculation soared around the possibility that Mark's relationship with the "seasilver incident" that coincided with his book launch, may have led to the withdrawal of the book from the market. Internet circles buzzed about the possibility of a missing chapter, that would never be made available to the public.

Whatever the reason, the absence of the book led to skyrocketing sales prices on Ebay and Amazon. As of this writing, the book is currently selling at a starting price of nearly $200.

Mark seems to have had a change of heart, however, as he just announced a re-release of his book that will launch April 8, 2008. The pre-order mailing list for MindControlMarketing is already growing daily.

Simply put, Mindcontrolmarketing is one of the best books on persuasion, closing and customer sales skills you could possibly own. A quote from the opening chapters leaves little doubt of the effectiveness of Mark's strategies. In perusing my "old" copy, I am reminded of a description of a collegiate experiment, where students were told to apply increasingly higher voltages of electricity to a "subject" (a paid actor hired for the experiment). Ultimately the subject would be dealt a lethal voltage level, but the question of the experiment was whether or not the students would deal the final blow if they knew they would not be prosecuted.

The student was told with authority that it was OK to go ahead. This was an "officially-sanctioned" experiment, and they would not be legally or ethically liable for whatever happened. Amazingly, 62 percent of the students taking part in this experiment were willing to administer the fatal shock.

Mark Joyner then goes on to illustrate the power that authority has over group mindset. I've written before on the power of establishing yourself as an authority in the eyes of your client group. This chapter outlines they whys and hows of the effectiveness of being an authority in a sales environment.

But this is only one of twenty chapters (twenty one in the new release) that cut right to the heart of how to persuade without coming off like a salesman, as well as how to protect yourself from the barrage of "salesy" messages that permeate our world on a daily basis. Mark Joyner talks extensively about "herd mentality" and how to create your own herd, harness that mentality, and corral them straight to your pocketbook.

I would hardly call this an unbiased endorsement, since I've been an avid follower of Joyner since I discovered Simpleology in January, 2008. There's little that he puts out that isn't excellent, and as a Network Marketer, there's much to learn from someone that appears to be completely out of the MLM arena (although he WAS in network marketing at one time). In fact, Mark's current blog discusses the odds of success in a Network Marketing venture, and while I tend to disagree with some of his theories, I admire the open conversation that's going on there.

But for the serious Network Marketer - whether you're in a home party plan or multi-level type company, you need this book. And Mark's promised a more reasonable sales price when the book re-launches: less than $30USD.

Originally written for the Internet Marketing community, there's plenty of learning to do with Joyner's book, and the ""missing" chapter purports to be even more powerful than the rest of the entire book. Loaded with illustrations that instruct as well as impact, MindControlMarketing is a powerhouse crash course in marketing tactics. With chapter titles like "Obedience to Authority" and "Framing: Beauty may be only skin deep, but who wants to be ugly?", Joyner understands how to push the hot buttons of your customers and encourage new business, repeat business, and continuous business - for years to come.

There's no word yet on how long this version of the book will stay around, but if the video on Mark's MindControlMarketing website is any indication, you can be sure sales will be brisk.

See the Battlefield

In Simpleology 102, Mark Joyner recounts a story from his days as an Army officer. The crux of the lesson is this quote:

What defines a leader, more than anything else, is his ability to see the battlefield.

Communication is important, so is team building, but ultimately, you have to be able to see the big picture.

Gretzky said something about going to where the puck is going to be, not where it's been, and whether or not you subscribe to that notion, you will agree that regardless of where the puck is, if you're going to play the game, you need to make sure you're in the right rink in the first place.

Being able to see the big picture is a skill and an art. Like jigsaw puzzle, you have to focus on individual elements of the picture in order to complete it effectively, but if you can't see what the outcome is, you'll have a heck of a time knowing whether or not you're piecing it all together properly.

Simpleology 102: The Simple Science of Money, is a continuation of Mark's Simpleology 101: The Simple Science of Getting What You Want. Everything that Simpleology 101 does to organize your mind and focus your life, Simpleology 102 does for your finances - and THEN some.

Since I started implementing lessons learned in the program, I've seen a jump not only in cash flow, but in control of that cash flow. I'm making smarter investment decisions because I'm focused on the end result.

I'm able to see the battlefield more clearly.

The Shortest Distance Between Two Points Can Be Hard To Find

The First Law of Simpleology is the Law of Straight Lines, or more commonly recognized as "the shortest distance between two points is a straight line"

Mark Joyner says that if you "find the fastest and most direct route" to your desired goal, then you can have it in no time.

Except for the fact that finding that route is like finding a needle in a haystack anymore.

According to Joyner, "you're bombarded with so many distractions every day that the straight line is no longer obvious."

Ain't it the truth?!

I see this every day I spend any time in the Internet Marketing forums online. There's always some guru launching the next "must have" product to sit on your shelves and collect dust.

Believe me, I have my fair share of them, too. Stuff I thought I HAD to buy because it was a "limited time offer" and once it was gone, I couldn't get it anymore.

Then I realized how much nonsense that was. Simpleology 101 has helped me understand that immensely. Now, if I see a new product I'm interested in, I check my schedule and see if it's something I can reasonably implement. If not, I don't buy it. I don't care HOW good it is, it's worthless to me if it just sits there.

Moreover, it's COSTING me money if I never use it after I bought it. So why buy it? It's the equivalent of being materialistic in a marketing sense.

And the guru's bank on your greed to cash in your paycheck.

So if you bought a program you know will work for you. Create a plan - the shortest distance from where you are now to where you want to be, and then stick to it. Don't let the next "big thing" come between you and your goal. Let nothing distract you.

That's the surest way to get from point A to point B. Put on some blinders and get to work!

The Simple Science of Getting What You Want

That's the subtitle for Mark Joyner's First Simpleology Course: Simpleology 101.

Now I ask you, who wouldn't want to learn how to get what they want in a simple, scientific manner?

Especially that "simple" part. That really caught my eye.

So I created an account, and started working through the 101 course. I have repeated this course 3 times since I started it In January, 2008.

This is not because I'm ignorant, or too thick to learn. It's because it's THAT good.

My friends and family know I'm a voracious reader. I read everything - anything I can get my hands on pretty much. If it will make me smarter or more knowledgeable, I want to read about it. They joke that I'll probably be buried in a bookshelf-shaped coffin - with all my books.

I love my family. Really I do.

But this course teaches me something new every time I go through it. It's quick and easy because you spend no more than a few minutes each day working through the videos and workbook. The course actually as repetition built INTO it, and it only takes 40 days to complete the course. at only 2-5 minutes per day, I can ALWAYS find time to sit down in front of my computer, or listen to the recordings on my CD player.

Mark has really made it easy to be successful with Simpleology, too. Everything is taught in digestible bite-sized chunks - and he tells you not to do more than one lesson per day so that you don't get overloaded. Mark very specifically wants you to do just a little each day. Just make small improvements and over time you'll see tremendous results.

In the nearly 3 months I've been working through the 101 course, I haven't been 100% faithful. I admit it. In the beginning, I would skip a couple of days, and try to "catch up" by doing 3 or 4 lessons in one day. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't.

The best thing to do is take it one day at a time. Mark even give you weekends off, if you'd like.

But I have to tell you, I am the most effective and efficient when I am doing my target praxes every day - even on the weekends. Once you've gotten some practice at doing them, it really doesn't take long to accomplish them, and then you've got a very specific action plan for your day. I accomplish way more in one day with Simpleology, than a week without it.

I'm not kidding. When I skip a day now, I REALLY feel it. I feel so behind, so overwhelmed and so out of control, I'm practically screaming for Mark to "whip em back into shape".

I hope I'm not creating a dependency, and I don't think I am, because I've learned that even when I'm away from my computer, I can still implement the strategies Mark teaches to complete my daily target praxes.

And that "daily target praxes" sounds like some kind of communicable disease. It's really just a method for prioritizing the day's activities in a way that brings you closer to your ultimate goals in life. You stay focused on what needs to be done instead of getting distracted by whatever wanders through your day.

As an author, wife, mom, direct sales consultant, leader and coach, I have a lot of hats to wear. I need all the help I can get prioritizing!

I am a blogging master!

Having completed the Simpleology elective course on blogging, I find I actually enjoy this so much more than I ever thought I would.

Blogging, for me, has become an outlet, and a personal platform for all sorts of stuff. So many sorts, in fact, that I've now split my ramblings into a couple of different blogs. Some are updated more frequently than others, but all are important parts of who I am becoming.

I started Simpleology this year, having stumbled upon it - I can't even recall how, now. I think it was an email from Frank Rumbaskas, but I could be wrong.

Anywho, I thought it would be a great way to get my life in order - because my life it seems to me is totally out of order. So at the beginning of January, I thought, "Heck, it's free, why not?"

Plus, it was subtitled: The Simple Science of Getting What You Want. Who wouldn't like that?

What happened next was unfathomable.

My goals were being achieved faster than I thought possible. I was accomplishing more and more, and it sounds almost too good to be true.

It was. The minute I stopped using the Simpleology daily target praxes, my life felt more out of control than it was before.

This program is almost like a drug, I tell you.

My grandfather died at the end of February. Then on the day he was buried, my MOTHER died.

Two funerals in one week sucks.

But the worse part was that I was so "busy" that I let my daily target praxes go by the wayside.

And after two weeks, let me tell you my life wasn't very pretty looking.
So I committed to not only restart my praxes, but to begin the Simpleology 101 course again, to sharpen my focus and regain clarity even faster.

Mark has a whole series of courses, but 101 is free, effective, and the very first place I recommend you start. It is the foundation for everything else Mark teaches, and it's laid out in short video segments, no more than 10 minutes a day.

Mark also recommends repetition as a means of reinforcing what you're learning. Thus,once I've completed the Blogging course, I'm supposed to go back through it.

So that's what this blog is about: my journey with Simpleology and the teachings of Mark Joyner.

Read on and enjoy!
