Those of who are into any type of off line/online MLM or direct sales program know just how important marketing is for any level of success. The trouble is that most people just simply don’t know how to market their opportunity/program successfully.

After spending thousands of dollars and not to mention countless hours, most people get frustrated and give up because they are putting out way more than what they are getting back. This is something that will kill your Abundant Living System program if you keep doing the same thing over and over again, so it’s time to stop doing what doesn’t work and start focusing on what’s working for the so called experts in this industry and that’s attraction marketing.

I’ve seen countless number of people spending all of their time and hard earned money trying to find new clients for the Abundant Living System. With attraction and my story marketing (web 2.0) you attract qualified leads to you and your program.

Can you think of a better way to build your opportunity than that; your prospects come to you instead of you chasing and trying to convince them to join with you in Abundant Living System. This is a much better and more efficient way to effectively grow your cash gifting activity wouldn’t you say? Forget about the days of old and trying to persuade your friends, family and love ones to partner up with you in business.

Why is attraction marketing so powerful? Because with attraction marketing you can build your own network and establish a report with people that want to succeed as much as you do. Why? Because with attraction marketing there is no absolutely pressure put on them to join or buy whatever you’re offering/selling, and because they made the initial contact by leaving you their information, it puts you in the driver’s seat and makes for a great and friendly conversation.

All You have to do is supply them with top-notch, valuable, and relevant content/information based on the Abundant Living System service you’re providing. This is one the biggest SECRETS for being identified as a leader in this industry. So now, you don’t have to trap and attack you prospects with competitive words like we have the best this and that, my lotion, potion and pills are much better than their pills, potions and lotions. Attraction marketing eliminates this barbaric outdated style of chasing and begging people to do what they really don’t want to do.

Please take note of this: simply change the way you market and you will instantly see a dramatic change in the growth of your program. Years ago with a little hard work and much convincing, you will get at least 2 signups out of a possible 10 people. With attraction marketing your numbers will grow quickly. If those same 10 people CONTACT YOU first, you will get 8 out of the 10 you talk to. Now which way is better? Change your marketing and watch how your numbers increase.

These are much better numbers. The reason for this change is because attraction marketing doesn’t waste your time talking to uninterested prospects; you will only be talking to those who have an interest in joining you in the Abundant Living System. Remember, your prospects come to you now. Building your network just got easier.

Good leaders will implement a doable system that will allow your prospects to know, like and trust you. Give them the ability to contact you by phone, email, instant message etc. when they are ready. If you do this, you will have eliminated all the man hours you previously wasted trying to deal with people without the desire or interest to join your Abundant Living System network. Attraction marketing gives you the tools to deal with those who are now well informed about your program and ready to move forward with the next step, and that is joining your network.

The hard-nosed network marketers look at the internet with hesitation and skepticism. This is because they are use to the old one-on-one, eye-to-eye, 3-foot rule, list making, friends and family style of marketing. However, the Internet is fast becoming the most popular medium for network marketing, whether the old school marketers like it or not.

Using the internet, we’re able to do due diligence on just about any company or program half anywhere in the world with the press of a button. The Internet will allow you to join up with people world wide within minutes, and now you have an international business.

In order to be successful at attraction marketing you need to familiarize yourself with a few attraction marketing techniques.

The first thing is to learn about the marketing tools that are available to you on the charge Internet. This will help you learn how to successfully promote your business. There are many marketing strategies that work — and there are just as many that don’t. It is vitally important for you to research each one so you don’t end up wasting your time.

Set yourself up with a blog, complete with all the interesting and valuable information about your business so that you can begin to build your own network. Prospects may not join your business but the seed has been planted. It will take more than visiting your website one time in order to make a decision.

Advertise, advertise, advertise. Use articles and traffic exchanges to help promote your website. The more your website is visible the more you will be looked at as a network marketing leader. The more links you have online, the more prospects you will attract to your website. You want them to come to you, so get your name out there.

Attraction marketing is all about providing valuable information to your prospects, and remember, the more helpful and valuable your information is the greater the chance those prospects will join your company. It will take time and determination on your part, but by using the power of attraction marketing you will begin to build your own network.

Most reasonable people will say yes, but think about it.

If our food is in abundance, we will procreate and make an even larger population, where even more people will go hungry. So again you say “produce more food, of course,” and now the population is even greater, with an even greater number of people going hungry. Eventually there won’t be any more space to make more food, no more forests to chop down to turn into farmland. And we’ll not only have destroyed the earth, but caused an enourmous amount of people that will have to starve.

So I think the better solution is to limit the population of our species, which however is no easy task. Birth control hasn’t halted our expansion.

We live in a culture that believes expanding and conquering the entire world is a goal, but this destroys the world.

I guess I should have stuck to something a little more specific in my rambling, but what are your thoughts?
What I’m saying is producing more food isn’t necessarily a good thing – since it only leads to a larger human population (which is harmful).

Global recession is now a given. Australia is also headed for at least a mild recession.
The key issue is the depth and duration of the slump.

At the moment, leading indicators for global and Australian growth are still in free fall.

The AMP’s Dr Shane Oliver says much of this bad news has already been factored into share markets, but as the news remains bleak shares are still under pressure.

————–

Lehman Brothers’ collapse in September and the resulting panic it set off in global money markets, and more broadly in confidence, has caused immense damage to the global economic outlook.
In particular, it would seem that the efforts by the US Government to convince Congress to pass the bank rescue program last month by arguing it is a Main Street problem as well as a Wall Street problem has convinced investors and the wider global population of the seriousness of the situation.

This has led to a sharp deterioration in economic data recently.

Recession is now a given in key advanced economies – Japan and Europe have already had two consecutive negative quarters and it is only a matter of time before it is “officially” declared in the US as well.

Recession is also probable in Australia.

And the emerging world will be running far enough below potential to qualify as a recession as well (even though growth will still be positive).

Right now, leading indicators of economic growth are still pointing down and provide no indication of when the slump will end and of how deep it will be. (See the next chart.)

Not a normal post war slump
The current situation is very different to that going into past post war recessions for several reasons.
Normal post war recessions were part of a cycle which saw inflationary pressures build during an economic upturn, interest rates rise, demand slow and inventories rise resulting in a downturn which is ultimately turned around via lower interest rates and after de-stocking has run its course.

The current cycle has some elements of this and it was made worse by the huge surge in oil and commodity prices into mid year which saw interest rates increased or maintained at higher levels than should have been the case.

But two considerations make this global slump potentially more serious and hence add to the level of uncertainty.

Firstly, we are faced with significant systemic risk as the flow of credit has been radically impaired by a severe loss of confidence on the back of the subprime mortgage crisis and subsequent banking problems.

The resultant pressure to reduce gearing (whether in hedge funds, real estate investment trusts or indebted households) has meant that the current slump has many of the signs of a debt-deflation cycle described by economist Irving Fisher in relation to the Great Depression.

In a debt deflation spiral: distressed selling of assets leads to wealth destruction, which leads to falling spending which leads to rising unemployment and then more distressed selling of assets (including houses) and more falls in asset prices, etc.

The UK & US are already in a form of this.

On top of this most countries are weakening at the same time. For example, back in the early 1990s, the US had a recession in 1990 and then recovered but Japan and Europe did not really succumb till 1992.

So the synchronisation in the economic downturns in the US, Japan and Europe is now making the global downturn a lot worse. As a result, weighted average growth in the world’s advanced countries is now expected to contract for the first time in the post war period. See the next chart.

While the emerging world is coming from a higher growth base than was the case going into the early 1980s and early 1990s downturns, momentum here is also fading rapidly.

As a result, there is greater than normal uncertainty regarding the economic outlook. Our base case would see the global recession last to around mid 2009.

But given deleveraging and the uncertainties it sets off, a longer and deeper recession stretching into 2010 is possible.

Rapid government policy – to stabilise money markets along with fiscal stimulus and lower interest rates – should head off the deep recession scenario (or a 1930s depression).

Australia is currently better placed than many countries.

Our financial system is less impaired, it has more scope for policy easing, growth in its trading partners will likely remain above that in the advanced world and the fall in the $A will provide a boost to domestic production.

But even in Australia the risks are high given our high levels of household debt and house prices relative to income and Australia’s high reliance on foreign capital.

Our leading indicator for Australia now points to growth slowing to 0.5% over the next six months and it’s rapidly falling to the levels associated with the early 1990s recession.

This along with the still deteriorating global outlook, plunging confidence and negative wealth effects indicates Australia will at least have a mild recession at some point in the next year.

During the last two recessions in Australia, unemployment rose by 5 percentage points and inflation fell by an average 5 percentage points.
Inflation will fall sharply as lower commodity prices and the slump in the economy feed through.

Unemployment is likely to rise to between 7 to 9%.

What to watch
Given the uncertainty regarding the outlook, and specifically the lack of certainty between whether the world is facing a mild or deep recession, we are monitoring a range of signposts.
To gain confidence in our base case view that global growth will start to stabilise around the middle of next year and improve thereafter we are looking for:

• A rapid further decline in short term interest rates relative to long term rates.

• More global rate cuts and more fiscal stimulus quickly.

• A slowing rate of decline in US house prices.

• US consumer spending to slow but not collapse.

• A stabilisation in consumer confidence in key countries.

• A modest pick-up in corporate defaults.

• An easing in bank lending standards.

• A further improvement in money markets.

• A fall in private sector borrowing rates.

• An improvement in broad money supply measures relative to the monetary base, indicating monetary easing is getting traction.

• A stabilisation in global trade indicators.

• A stabilisation/improvement in China’s growth.

• Weekly auction clearance rates are also worth watching in Australia.

While there has been some improvement in some of these signposts it is not enough to provide confidence yet.

Implications

The bleak and uncertain economic outlook has several implications for investors:

Firstly short term cash rates are likely to fall a lot further. Japan and the US are in a race to zero.

In Australia, the Reserve Bank is likely to cut by another 0.75% to 1% next month and the cash rate will probably ultimately bottom out below 3% next year.

Just as shares led on the way down they will lead on the way up.

Having now had 50% plus falls shares are already factoring in a recession. But while they are great value from a long term perspective the uncertainty about the outlook and the continuing flow of bleak news means it’s too early to say the bear market is over.

Commodity prices and currencies like the $A lag the economic cycle and so it’s hard to see them moving higher until there is more confidence that global growth is back on track.

In the meantime, more weakness in commodity prices and resource stocks is likely.

Unlisted assets – including housing and commercial property – are now more vulnerable than financial assets which have already been hit hard.

Conclusion
While the next year is likely to be pretty tough, all is not lost. Australia’s long term growth prospects remain bright given our exposure to China which will resume its rapid industrialisation process after the current pause and our financial system is in far better shape than in many other countries.
And in the short term it should be borne in mind that a lot of stimulus is being pumped into the household sector, with lots more to come.

A middle income Australian family with a $250,000 mortgage, two kids and two cars will be seeing their finances bolstered considerably.

their mortgage interest bill will have fallen by about $375 a month (and will fall a lot further) since August, their monthly petrol bill will have fallen by about $95 since July and, if they qualify, they will get a one off $1000 per child payment next month.

Of course, the uncertainty caused by rising unemployment will mean a big chunk of this will be saved, but it will certainly help avoid a big collapse in spending and more importantly at some point later next year will help drive a recovery.

So there we were, my husband and I, in our mid fifties, having to shut down our 8-year-old, online animation software company after pouring our entire life savings into it. Seeing our money gradually disappear during those years was like squeezing honey into hot tea and watching it melt away. The reason I use honey as an analogy is that we really loved our business and there was a certain sweetness in giving all we had for something we believed in so dearly.

I will never forget the feeling of letting our staff go during that last year, little by little… and moving out of our space… and closing down the websites… and turning off the phones. Can you imagine what it was like for my husband and myself to have nothing but credit cards left… at the age where we should begin winding down to retire?

Yesterday I heard on the news that President Elect, Mr. Obama, is inheriting one and a half million people having lost their jobs in the U.S. My heart goes out to these people because I personally know the terror of having nothing, not knowing where the rent money will come from and continuing to borrow, borrow, borrow to pay all the credit card bills.

Obviously, this huge provocation in our lives was cause to rise to the truth of who we really are, and to what is truly important. Our efforts doubled to wipe out whatever unknown, unseen resistance to abundance was holding us in this pattern of not “having,” although we were applying all of the teachings about “allowing” from Abraham, “scientific prayer” from Ernest Holmes, and many other teachings from amazing, awakened beings like Byron Katie, Eckhart Tolle, Ramana Maharshi, Pujya Deepakbhai, Lester Levenson and more. But why was “The Secret” not working for us, not to mention for so many other people we knew who were also applying these teachings? Something was missing. We were in the dark, but the dawn was breaking…

Finally, the Light has begun to fill our lives with Its Presence. Of course, It was always there, for It is who we are. But now we are waking up to our own divine presence. I don’t claim this as a boast about my husband and myself; what I’m saying is that we are examples of a higher consciousness that has inevitably become more alive in our culture today. What has happened is an Awakening, and I see it wherever I turn. Tens of thousands of people are awakening to some degree, all over the planet. For my husband and I, it has been a very long journey.

We are discovering through experience, which heretofore was intellectual understanding or a deep sense of knowing, that everything we could ever want is already here, within us. So our so-called struggle to make money, to allow abundance, to prosper, to get rich, to have abundance consciousness, was all affirming that we did not have that which we very much desired. An element of this awakening, that we are discovering as we are gradually “waking up,” is that our attachments (and aversions) are losing their potency and we are becoming more neutral about whatever is happening. We are also losing our attachment to any outcome.

The magic of all this has been such a surprise for us – it is that as we become less attached, this is creating an “opening” for having. It is dissipating the resistance that we have been unconsciously creating by being so very attached to wanting. And so the miracle that we have discovered is that the less we want, the less we are attached, the bigger becomes the opening to “allow” abundance to land in our laps. Now, instead of spending so much time worrying, we are spending more and more time letting go, surrendering to the truth of our Being, which is where abundance and freedom live. And that is our highway to abundance consciousness.

In Japanese we have a word called, “Bachi” which translates to when you do something wrong, something bad occurs because of it.” The closest translation in English is karma. Earler this season after Jackie Robinson day, MLB touted they wanted to get more African American kids into their sport. “We will bring our sport to you “They boasted.” Hogwash! Think of all the kids from financially challenged backgrounds that can’t watch the playoffs due to the games being on cable. MLB sold out to the highest bidder and unfortunately many African American kids didn’t get to see Jimmie Rollins performance. Hardly bringing the game to them. This year although the ratings were strong so far MLB may get rewarded with an abundance of short series and a match up of the Diamond Backs and the Indians, hardly the major media markets of the US. Bachi? I emailed this to MLB and have not heard from them, I doubt if I will.

I am looking to do a report on how the recession has effected Denver Colorado. I feel as if a good place to start would be to compile what statistics are important when measuring a recession. Also, what websites, are keeping track of the recession’s impact. Specific City information would be helpful as well.
