Happy Father's Day

I'm experimenting with my wordpad. This, I think, is much better. I know, why haven't I thought of that already:(. I'm killing time before my conference training room or whatever you call it.

Back to work tomorrow after 10 days off. Yuck! I didn't get to see my grandson this time. Stayed home and did some things around here. Got more things ready for the yard sale and washed the house. Thought the appraisor was coming Friday but he didn't
show up. Its alright though, I think I changed my mind anyway. I was going to try to get a home equity loan but my son seems to think I can get a loan for a new home. He's coming next week to take me look around. He also said he would co sign if I needed him to. I should be excited about a new home even if its just a mobile home but there's so much red tape and getting this one torn down and where I want it (the new one), there's trees I want cut down. Let me rephrase that..they need cutting down.

Its almost time. Everyone have a great week. Tere

Just checking my blog

I'm making my rounds while I take a break. Going through stuff again to add to the yard sale. I need to contact my friends daughter. she's been wanting to have one so I'll see if she wants to have one here with me.
My son called yesterday and told me they got a new Tahoe. I knew they were thinking about it and when they start thinking, they usually do. Sounded like a pretty good deal. They were able to finance what he stilled owed on his truck, traded in her car and financed the Tahoe with the balance of the truck and paying over $100.00 a month less on car notes.
I still haven't got my windshield fixed from the hail storm. The roofers, glass companies, and body shops around here are doing good right now. That was a bad night..I never heard hail so loud and hard in my life. My roof is probably damaged, too. Its not leaking but since I'm thinking about tearing down the house anyway, there's no point checking it.
I'm gone, if anyone pops up, have a great day. Tere

Corey will be missed here, too

I'm sure a lot of you have already heard the news..This is an email I got from Mike today. Its really sad. I read Corey's newsletters and he made you feel like you knew him. I had hoped to afford one of his courses one day but didn't get around to it. That really doesn't matter anyway, it sad for someone so young to die and he was a newly wed, too. I wonder if he knew how many will miss him. If anyone wants to read the story, I copied the email with the news address on it. ( btw, I'm not advertising anything and am not affiated with Mike. I read Mike's newsletters, too, and also feel like I know him. He's right, maybe we all need to call our loved ones and give our marketing and internet work a rest today.) I think I'll call my son.) Have a good week-end. Tere

Here's the email:



Today is a very sad day in the Internet Marketing
world and to many others that knew Cory.

Taking nothing for granted, I will not assume you
knew who he was. But I am sure 90% of you do.

Cory Rudl was one of the top internet marketers
and teachers. He earned over $7 Million Dollars
per year and offered all of his secrets to every-
one in affordable courses for $197-$297

I was one of his customers and I had learned a lot
from him.

Today, I wake up, grab my laptop in bed, and I get
an email. "Shocking News - Did you see this?"

=======================================================
Corey Rudl Died
=======================================================

I am as surprised as you are. I heard it first from
Mike Merz (IM4Newbies.com) when he broadcast an email
to his subscribers about it.

Corey Rudl of the famous MarketingTips.com and
SecretsToTheirSuccess.com was killed when the car the
he was riding as a passanger crashed at California
Speedway in Fontana. The driver also died an hour later
while on the way to the hospital.

Here are some links to the news.

Frankly, I don't know what to think of this. Still
trying to absorb the whole thing.

=======================================================
End of notice
=======================================================

So the first thing I did was get on messenger with my
friend Michael Rasmussen to confirm and it was true.

Then I went to the warrior forum and there were 9
threads and hundreds of replies.

My heart sunk.

I will not claim to have known Cory, to have met him,
or to have spoken to him.

All we had was a replies in 1 thread about ClickBank
a few months ago in a forum. I am sure he never heard
of me.

But I will say that I admired Cory and my goal was to
learn everything I could about him. I started to model
him from a course I purchased from him. I was going to
model is affiliate programs.

I planned on studying him for years to come. It was
weird, because I had heard of him for a long time, but
my ego would not let me buy from him.

Then when I did, I put in his models and strategies and
I saw instant results.

Cory started I think in 1997 and pioneered ebooks and
sequential email and affiliate programs. He was a step
ahead and one you would want to learn from.

You are blessed to have been a customer of his as their
will not be many more chances to learn from him.

*** Why I titled this 'Perspective' ****

Well, as you may know, since Tuesday my site
InstantBuzz.com has been down and I have been working
24/7 to get it back up.

So many good members have been so supportive. We should
be back up later today or tomorrow.

If you want that story go here

But I woke up in a bad mood over this fiasco, and all
woe is me.

Then I got slapped in the face with a reality check
when I heard a real tragedy today.

It really put things in perspective for me. I am signing
off the PC today after I try to get some IB things done.

I encourage all of you to do the same and go spend time
with your families today.

Call your:
Mom
Dad
Sister/Brother
Kids

and tell them you love them.

Go enjoy the day away from the PC -

God Bless Cory Rudl and may he rest in peace with
the Lord.

My hearts and prayers go out to his friends and family
and this time.

You will be missed Cory :-(
