Actual for You - Lance Armstrong and Exercise - From Denial to Desire!
The number one key to internet marketing is being able to effectively brand yourself. You don’t want people buying products and services from you based solely on the products perceived value. (Though this does need to be taken into consideration) you want people buying from you on your word, and because they trust you. Branding yourself in your business can be one of the most important things you can do.Many people try to market online. Some do it better then others and use more effective methods, but the truth is you STILL need to create a relationship with the buyer. The fact of the matter is, people only buy from people they like. If they don’t like you, they are not going to invest in anything your trying to sell. No matter how good the prod
TAKE AN “INSIDE-OUT” APPROACH
It is really important to understand that in order to sustain a healthy lifestyle, you have to develop a positive type of mind set. Sure it looks great and feels great to have a well-shaped body on the outside. However, you will never win the aging battle if you think that all you have to do is work on the outside of the body.
You will have a better chance of feeling better inside and outside if you have a deep desire to be healthy both physically and emotionally first! When your motives and desires come from the heart or “INSIDE-OUT”, then true health begins to grow. And if your physical appearance changes during the process, that is icing on the cake.

Back when I used Windows exclusively, I was acutely aware of the dangers that viruses and worms posed. In fact, one of the first things I did on every computer I used was to install anti-virus software.Now, more than half a year after switching to Linux at home and Mac OS X at the office, I’ve yet to encounter a single virus on either platform, despite running both without any kind of software protection.The old Windows user in me wonders: Am I being reckless?The numbers say the odds are in my favor, at least for now. There are far fewer Linux viruses and those that exist have caused very little real damage.In a November 2005 interview with Computerworld Hong Kong, security expert Mikko Hypp?nen says there are over 140,000 viruses
On Wednesday October 2, I was diagnosed with testicular cancer. I have been made aware that it has spread to other parts of my body... I... I am... here to say, I will work with the doctors to overcome... and I will work hard to race once again.

Sunday July 24, 2005 Lance Armstrong not only beat cancer, but also went out on top after winning seven consecutive Tour De France bicycle races. If you don’t know, the Tour De France bike race is with out a doubt the most grueling endurance race ever. For the most conditioned athletes it is the hardest optical they will ever face. However, for Lance after cancer, the race seems as if it were just a formality of a race already won.
No one will ever know what truly drives a human being to overcome such odds. No one will ever know what demons they had to face each and every day in those beds, bikes and back roads of their minds. What I do know is Lance did go from denying his condition to having a deep desire to overcome it and succeed!
In my best selling book I write what it takes to go from denial about your health to incorporating exercise into your daily routine.
Here’s a small portion:
From Denial to Desire
Living in a state of denial can really be a big weight to carry for anyone, no matter what the circumstances are surrounding it. But, what does it mean to be in denial of your health? What are some of the behaviors that are associated with denial?
I know I need to make an appointment for a checkup! But you don’t.
I may have a few pounds on me, but I still feel fine.
I walk on the golf course isn’t that enough?
I’m going to die sooner or later, why start now on an exercise program?
Ok, I get the point, but……
Where do I go from here? What’s next for me?
HAVE A DEEP DESIRE
What does it mean to have deep desire for something? Remember those feelings you had back when you wanted your first bicycle. That Barbie doll you made a fit over in the toy store in front of everyone. Or what about that girl or boy you would have done just about anything for? There was such a hunger, a burning in your gut. You couldn’t even think straight, eat or sleep because it occupied your every thought. You just had to have it!
HAVE HOPE
Have hope! Acknowledging the reality of your life does not mean you have to give up hope. It can mean just the opposite, “A new, fresh beginning.” Many a people have done extraordinary things with nothing but a little bit of hope. Combine that with some faith and a deep desire to feel better, you may be surprised how your life will change.
HAVE AN OPEN MIND
Have an open mind toward exercise and eating better, rather than resenting the actions.
Accept the fact that life will not hand you a perfect situation.
Learn that your self-worth is not based upon if you ask for help along the way.
We age. Our metabolism slows down, and we are more prone to injuries and illness. However, it does not have to be fatal or depressing if you exercise and eat better. The threesome of denial, pride and laziness will always be followed up by some unwanted consequence to your health. And things that make you resist exercise and eating right are only illusions you have created.
If the whys are big enough, the hows don’t matter!
Niche
HAVE A LONG-TERM ATTITUDE
If you want to go from denial to desire, call on the “all or nothing attitude.” If you are going to start now, you have to start for good. The reality is you will have good attitude and bad attitude days for the rest of your life. But understand, if you are going to be healthier through exercise and eating, you are going to have to participate in some form of exercise till the day you die. This is not a temporary fix to a long-term problem; it is a lifestyle.

I have been trying to educate young marketers for the past five years on how they can make money on the Internet. It hasn't been an easy task. I haven't had trouble writing the information or getting the information out, the problem is finding a way to get other marketers to believe what I am saying. It is so easy to want to believe someone one when they tell you how much money they make and how they can show you how you can be making more money than you could ever dream of. I should know I believed them for over four years. This is yet another attempt to try and convince you that there is no easy and fast way to make money on the Internet, if there was every one would be doing it and as we all know most people don't make a lot of money on the Internet.

Your business is listed in the Yellow Pages whether you buy an ad or not. Your business is listed in the Yellow Book and the other phone books, too, no purchase necessary.The trick is to get people to remember your name when they look in the book. That's advertising's job. If you stress what's in it for them they will remember who you are when they go looking. Many times they go looking a year, or more, after hearing or seeing your ads. If it is all about them, they will remember all about you.Surveys show the majority of people look in the Yellow Pages for a name that seems familiar, either through past dealings or because of advertising or referral. Only the people who don't have a clue go there to make a decision based on the a

Denial, Pride and Lazy will be your biggest obstacles when getting in better shape. And it would be unrealistic to think you will ever be totally rid of them. On the other hand, building a strong desire to stand on your own can be your biggest strength against them. When your desire to feel better is so strong, the truth becomes a tool instead of a barrier.
Denial, Pride and Lazy are fictional characters in our minds. While paralyzing, immediate action without compromise tends to scare them away. Waiting to feel better makes no logical sense. Starting right now makes all the sense in the world because the result will be that you feel better.
“If only I had known.” they said.
From the coach’s box:
The process will be a lot easier with an open-minded, long-term approach to your health.
Most importantly, focus on what matters most in the long run-- — working on your inside physical and emotional well being.
