One hand on the wheel. One hand on the Flip.
Please do not pay attention to the fact that I sound like I swallowed a frog, PLEASE focus on the directive.
1. Approach others in your niche - yes… competitors!!
2. Tell them that they ROCK!
3. Tell other people that those competitors ROCK!
4. Start to mean it. You probably do, but ALLOW yourself to mean it.
5. People respond to good will!
6. Now they will LOVE You too!
7. JV with them and Make lots of Money!
G-d says do ‘good’ things even if you don’t want to…. eventually, without even noticing it, you will be a better person and do it without planning.
There is a missing step here. If you do all of the above without the missing piece, you will probably figure it out on your own, it may happen naturally. I just can’t reveal this secret ingredient yet since even though I am doing it naturally, it isn’t my secret to share. I mentioned in one of my recent posts about an offline marketer who has completely changed the landscape of how I view and approach success. It is his to share when and how he decides. He is working on putting it together and YOU will be blown away!
Watch this video and then TELL me HERE whom you ADMIRE, and WHY. Go ahead. It’s FREE!

Great message
I’ve cut my teeth on internet marketing under Internet Marketing Sweetie, Alice Seba. She taught me early that competitors can friends and partners. I’ve never felt like I had to hold back on compliments, purchases or recommendations because of that and I do believe I’ve seen my business grow and prosper.
Thanks for helping others see that they can relax and enjoy their competition

Mr X
Andrea Schumacher is in the building.
I like how your doing videos. But can you teach me something I dont know that I can use instead of talking about YOU. I like it when you talk about YOU but I love it when you talk about ME and help ME do what I do in less time to a better level of execution. Show me 10 top tips. 5 great techniques. Whatever. Show me what you got.
P.S. “Hurry”!

Hey Andrea,
I felt sad watching this that for all the social networking and happy hookups on Facebook and all, there’s still such a scarcity mentality among marketers - people who should know better. I’m going into a niche that doesn’t know about the freeline and how joint venturing “lifts all boats.” I’m not anticipating an easy time getting deals, cooperation or even a “hello”. But this video is a great reminder to me that I can be the change I want to see in the world, as Gandhi put it. I’ll just take the lead and see where things go. Thanks for the great suggestion here and all the great ideas you’re always bringing forward. Cheers! Gail

I don’t know if it’s human nature to fail. They seems counter intuitive to me. However, may fail simply because they lack faith in themselves.
We have experienced slow and dark times growing our SEO business. Now, we are on the cusp a greatness (by our standards) because we keep our dream alive and we have given ourselves the opportunity to succeed because we have put in tons of effort.

Good advice. In business I think we sometimes forget that we reap what we sow. It is important to have good relationships with people even if that means you end up giving away customers to competitors. Conversely, it is also crucial that when asked, you give an honest opinion of others and their work (even if it is a poor review) because that too, will get back to you.

Great video/discussion! I couldn’t agree more about approaching and working with people in the same field. It does feel good… just like it does to compliment anyone about something great they are doing! At the end of the day, relationships are all we really have. I find no matter how successful I am, it’s just nice to have great relationships with people!
Thanks Andrea, great job
