1.   Hey! Why the Long Sales Pages? by Mark Silver
    So, you get one of those emails from someone whose business you kinda like. And it's got some enticing little message in it - so you click to take a look at the offer. And suddenly you find yourself in highlighter land. Broad streaks of yellow, lots of exclamation points, and pages and pages of words making all kinds of claims and promises. And when you scroll allllllll the way down to the bottom, there isn't even a price. You need to click on an 'order now' button before they even tell you the price.

2.   How To Write A 300 Page Book In Four Months by Mark Silver
    There's a lot of hoopla about becoming an author of your very own business book. The promise of fame and fortune is very alluring. Yet your book remains perpetually 'about to be' written. Or, you've sequestered yourself for weeks or months to write your book, only to come out with something you feel luke-warm about.

3.   How To Get Feedback From Colleagues That Makes Sense by Mark Silver
    Okay, you've just written a new website, or a new sales page. Or maybe you've just created a new product or offer. Or even just tried on a new suit. And you turn to your friend and ask: "Can I get some feedback from you? What do you think?"

4.   The Role of Hunger in Your Business by Mark Silver
    Hunger and fear are good for your business. Not abject hunger and despairing panic, mind you. That's too much. But a little touch of hunger and fear is very useful. I know there are many people out there who would prefer that not to be the case. And I'm one of them. I wish inspiration and love were big enough motivators for action. But for us humans who aren't yet enlightened, they don't seem to work so well.

5.   Spirituality in Your Business Without Scaring Clients by Mark Silver
    You've been deepening your spirituality, and it has seeped into everything you do, or is starting to. The thing is, will it freak your clients out if you go all woo-woo and bizarre on them? Even if you're already using spirituality strongly in your business, I'm guessing there are places you just don't want to go, things that are too blatant or strong. You don't want to evangelize, you're not looking to convert anyone. But something's missing.

6.   How a Personal Secretary is Critical to Your Response Rate by Mark Silver
    In a past Moneyflow class, one of the participants was promoting a seminar. 'People aren't responding to my emails. What do I do?' 'Well, tell me what you've done,' I said. 'Today the second email went out. I've only had 5 people respond so far on my list of 100. And I've been networking, and making phone calls, and sending out flyers.' What wasn't working?

7.   Avoiding Financial Trauma Stress Disorder by Mark Silver
    Day after day we're being treated to news of the global financial markets being flushed further and further down the toilet. If you run a small business, it can be hard to hold onto hope and inspiration, because maybe this time things really are doomed. Makes you wonder and doubt--did someone not buy simply because they didn't buy, or is this the beginning of the end of your business?

8.   Marketing Without Spending Your Life Trolling the Internet by Mark Silver
    "I'd rather be rock climbing, hiking, spending time outside than in front of a computer. And, it all feels so useless, like nothing works anyhow. I'm spending my life energy in front of the computer, I feel like , and it's not moving my business forward!" That's what a client of ours was telling us. And how about you? You're staring at a screen right now, reading this. How many hours do you have to spend in front of a computer to make your business work, anyway?

9.   Why Clients Don't Buy-- and 8232;The Hierarchy of Choice by Mark Silver
    So you struggle over getting all the details just right, like pricing and timing, and all the other features included in your offers so your best clients will buy from you. So why aren't they buying? It's because all of those details are actually the least important part of a purchasing choice. One common misconception says that human beings make choices based on what's best for them, but that falls apart really quickly in the aftermath of several empty tubs of ice cream, as you hold your stomach and groan, "Why did I do that again?!?"

10.   Can Branding Ever Be Heart Centered? by Mark Silver
    Sometimes the world delivers up vocabulary words that are just plain wrong. Painfully wrong. Words like "branding," which the world of marketing seems to love, but regular folks and cows just seem to hate. And it's because of how branding has often been used. Companies have done psychological studies on how to craft an environment that gets you to react in the way they want you to. It's like herding cattle into the searing-hot iron--ouch. Of course you don't want to use branding. Why would you ever want to do THAT?

11.   How Do You Be Unique When and 8232; What You Do Isn't Yours? by Mark Silver
    You come off the freeway exit ramp, and bam, you're stuck behind a long line of cars at the stop sign, all wanting to turn left, the same way you want to go. Slowly, one by one, they go through the stop sign. You inch imperceptibly forward. Suddenly one of the cars peals off and goes right, instead of left. You're bored by this time, so you figure, what the heck--let's try it out.

12.   Other People's Stuff in Your Info Product by Mark Silver
    It was 1995 and there we were: me, my girlfriend of one year (who is now my wife), and my parents all snowed in at my parents' home. A blizzard had struck suddenly, and we were stuck in D.C. for an extra two days, unable to fly out. Unable to do anything, really, except be stuck together. Luckily, we had a great time together. We shoveled snow, drank tea, and laughed a lot. But, can you imagine if that had happened the year before on our very first date, when we didn't know each other at all? A first date snowed in for four days with your date and your parents?

13.   When Following-the-Leader Gets Your Business in Trouble by Mark Silver
    On a hot summer day in the early 1990's, I was standing in the middle of a California freeway. Four cars were piled up around me, and ambulances, fire engines, and the California Highway Patrol were arriving one after the other. Our paramedic unit had parked where the first-in unit had told us to park, and we were working on the car that first medic on-scene had directed us to. Per protocol, the first paramedic on-scene was the "incident commander" until a higher ranking command officer or supervisor arrived.

14.   Repeat After Me: 'I Have Only One Business.' by Mark Silver
    Imagine you're ten years old, and there are huge stacks of cardboard boxes towering over you. It's a maze. It's a fortress. And you're allowed to climb all over them. Inside every single one of those boxes is a dozen bottles. Fine wines, liquor, you name it. It may sound like a caterer's dream, but I was just hanging out in the warehouse of my grandfather's wine store. My parents worked with him, and so I kinda grew up there.

    Ready to write an article? You even made the big step of scheduling time to do it. So here it is, and you're sitting at your desk, staring blankly at the screen. Just like you've been doing for the last two weeks. And still no article. Despite the fact it was supposed to go out 10 days ago. Ugh.

17.   The Curse of Professionalism in Your Business by Mark Silver
    Have you ever received (or written) an email like this one? 'Thank you for your correspondence. We appreciate your desire to contact us, and someone will get back to you shortly.' Kinda cold and stale, eh? I'm used to seeing things like this from corporations, and from the back of our refrigerator, but how about us teensy business folks?

18.   What You Need To Do To Avoid Burning Money On Advertising. by Mark Silver
    Advertising. Curse? Money hole? Or powerful venue? It seems so obvious: where else, for a few hundred dollars, could you get in front of thousands of people? And it's true that many of them are really wanting what you're offering. Unfortunately, the vast majority of advertising ends up being good to wrap fish in, and not much else. People cry up "But it's getting me exposure," and that's true, to a point. However, is it really increasing sales? Is it really getting people the help they need?

19.   Why Attraction is a Mistake in Marketing by Mark Silver
    Coffee shop. The background beat of some silly pop music. Buzz of conversation. The glow of laptop screens. And then, one near the counter, the other in a window seat, they both look up, and their eyes meet. Attraction! Next thing you know, they're picking out paint colors, and sharing chores in some nice little house in the neighborhood. It's a cozy picture, isn't it? If only your clients would move into your business as easily. Unfortunately, when your eyes meet theirs, they tend to look away.

20.   The Myth Of Being Successfully Solo In Business by Mark Silver
    There's a breakneck pace that many new solo business owners assume. With an infinite number of things to do, and about a dozen hats to wear, it gets overwhelming, fast. And, that's nothing compared to what happens once the business actually has some momentum under it. That's why one of my clients with a brand-new business was asking me: 'Mark, how do you get it all done? Your business has about 100 times more going on in it than mine does, and I'm overwhelmed just with what I'm trying to get done.'

21.   How the Kitchen Sink Drains Your Repeat Business by Mark Silver
    Why -do- clients come back? The real reason they keep coming back. They come back because they actually used what you offered them. And it's gone. They ate it all up, and they want more. The Garbage Disposal Disaster. How many CDs are you stuffing down your customer's drain?

23.   When You Feel So Pressured To Make Money You Can't Think by Mark Silver
    Your marriage falls apart, you or your partner is laid-off, or your spouse gets ill and you lose half your household income. The financial pressures sweep in like a sudden high tide, and as one of my clients wrote me, 'I feel so pressured to make money I can't think.' What do you do in a situation like this? 'Forget about the bladdy-blah-blah of patience and organic growth, man! I need to make the rent like, yesterday!'

And so, off you go, on vacation. And, when you come back, by noon on Monday you're as exhausted as you were when you left. Did you take the wrong vacation? Or is there something wrong with vacations?

    You can tell as soon as you pick up the phone before the other person has even said anything. That little silence, the clattering in the background, tells you that it's a telemarketer on the other end of the line, and there is nothing they have to say that is worth your precious time. With those experiences, it's easy to have strong opinions about using systems, and to avoid them like the plague in your own business.

Yup, a complaint. Ahhh! A complaint?! But you poured your heart and soul into it, how could they complain? Then you take a breath, and you read what they're asking for, and you realize... they were right. You DID make a mistake. Things are goofed up, perhaps badly.

    So someone asks you: 'What's your Twitter name?' And you look at them like they are a loony. Twitter? Huh? And then the next person asks you, 'You blog, right? What's the URL?' Hold it. What happened? In the seeming blink of an eye, suddenly there's all this new so-called 'social media' on the web, and you know nothing about it. What's worse, is that everyone else seems to be there already. It's like you went to the bathroom, and when you came out, the party moved on, leaving you in a dark room with empty glasses all around you. Time to drop everything and catch up with the party... quickly! Quickly!

    Business momentum is when a series of "events" build upon each other, and multiply their efforts. It's when your business starts to have some steam of its own, and you get carried along for the ride. For instance, we had some February sunshine here in Portland, and I went bicycling. Each time I pedalled was an "event." Okay, got it. What's grief got to do with it?

    Going to networking events is kinda one of those things you are 'supposed' to do for your business. Some people love'em, some people hate'em. But, the truth is, especially for a new business, making face-to-face and heart-to-heart contact with people is incredibly powerful. Unfortunately, networking events can seem like pretty gross, low-energy, artificial affairs, with people glad-handing left and right, and business cards so thick in the air you can't even see where the complimentary bottled water is. Let's take another look at networking, and see if we can find the heart in it, so that your business can actually benefit without you feeling yucked out.

Let me tell you straight from the heart: if your business doesn't yet have a great deal of momentum on it, then don't yet publish a book. Instead, start by creating an information product.

    Shiny new cars. Big mansions. The good life. Even if you're not a particularly material person, it's easy to be caught by those images, and to wonder: 'Why don't I have that? Is there something wrong with me?' It's become especially popular to equate material wealth with spiritual attainment. 'If you do good, and if you think abundantly, then the untold riches of the universe will pour forth for you. If you stew yourself in despair and complaint, then forget it. You get nothing.' Is it true? And if it's not true, then how come you don't have what all those rich, successful people have? Could it possibly have maybe a smidgeon of truth in it?

And it always will be flat. Flat, flat, flat.' The year is 1400 A.D., and you're thinking, 'But, what if it isn't flat? What if it's round?' Do you stick your hand up and tell the teacher? Is it worth being burned by the Inquisition just so you can speak your mind?
