Having been with the company since its inception in October of 2003, Ben, now 20 years of age,  has just been appointed as the new CEO of  ‘OE Design – The Web Designers ‘.

‘One of the key things that we have always done as a company’ Ben said, ‘is to look for ways in which we can help charities, churches, and sporting bodies to use the power of the internet to communicate their message online.’

‘In addition to providing website services for local and national businesses, we continue to provide websites for voluntary organizations both in our own nation and in nations around the world.

Joel Christopher ( http://www.MasterListBuilder.com )

The chat was scheduled for one hour and the subject was:

“THE AWESOME POWER OF LIST BUILDING”

Peter Sinclair : Hello everybody. Today it is my great privilege to have with me the man who international best selling author and radio talk show host, Mike Litman, recently nicknamed “The Tony Robbins of Internet Marketing.” His name is Joel Christopher – Director and Owner of www.SuccessAccess.com and www.MasterListBuilder.com. Joel is a consummate entrepreneur who wants to share his passion for self-employment with others because of the time freedom it offers. Welcome Joel.

Joel Christopher : Hi Peter and everyone. Thanks for that great introduction. I am very pleased to be on this live chat with all of you.

(Editor’s Note: Mike Litman was featured in Seminar 2.)

Peter Sinclair : Hi Joel. That is quite a recommendation coming from Mike Litman. I also understand that Randy Gilbert of “The Inside Success Show” called you “The Michael Jordan of Internet List Building.”

Joel Christopher : They are certainly wonderful accolades. I hope the information that I share today lives up to them!

Peter Sinclair : I’m sure it will. I can hardly wait to get started. Are you ready to jump right into it?

Joel Christopher : Sure.

Peter Sinclair : Joel, in your latest book you stated something I found extremely interesting. You said that in 2002, three of the pioneers of internet marketing, Jonathan Mizel, Stephan Mahaney and Corey Rudl were asked: “If there were a fire in your office, what one thing would you make sure to take with you as you headed out the door?” All of them agreed they would take their subscriber list. That is, their database of “opt-in” email addresses. That was the one thing that all of them said would be most devastating to lose. What are your views on this?

Joel Christopher : Yes. I remember that day in October. I was in Hawaii with them for the Internet Lifestyle Summit. I agree with them 100%. All successful internet marketers would agree that your money is in your list and that your business is built upon your valuable customer and prospect list.

Peter Sinclair : It’s that important, huh?

Joel Christopher : It certainly is. In fact, another millionaire businessman told me that if you took away his million-dollar business but left him with his mailing list that he will have his million-dollar business rebuilt in six to twelve months.

Peter Sinclair : That is a powerful statement!

Joel Christopher : Indeed it is. I can honestly say Peter that the lifeblood of my business, and any business for that matter, online or offline, is the LIST.

Peter Sinclair : So Joel, on the internet, you are famous as the man with THE list, what did you do to be branded as “the masterlistbuilder.” Everywhere I go on the web your name keeps popping up and you’re always connected with the fact that you’re the guy that tripled your database in no time flat. How did that all come about? Can you take us right back to the beginning and share with us some highlights of your journey?

Joel Christopher : The MasterListBuilder brand name came about when one of my clients interviewed me on a live tele-seminar. He started that name when he called me the “MasterListBuilder.” Right at that moment I went to www.godaddy.com and saw that the domain name was available. At that point I took the challenge of increasing my list from 10,000 to 20,000 in 90 days.

Peter Sinclair : That’s a 100% increase in just three months.

The chat was scheduled for one hour and the subject was:

“THE AWESOME POWER OF INVESTING”

Peter Sinclair : I am really thrilled to welcome John Burley to our LIVE CHAT today….

John Burley : Thank you Peter. It’s my pleasure to be here.

Peter Sinclair : The subject is “THE AWESOME POWER OF INVESTING!” John, I would like to predicate today’s chat with the knowledge that I am going to refer constantly to a very powerful book called “The Richest Man In Babylon.”

John Burley : A marvelous book Peter if I may say so.

Peter Sinclair : Indeed. Just in case our readers are not familiar with this book, it was written by George S. Clason and was first published in 1926. Since that time it has sold millions of copies worldwide. In it he states: “Lo, money is plentiful for those who understand the simple rules of its acquisition.”

John Burley : One of my favorite subjects!

Peter Sinclair : John, I know this book is recommended reading for your students. I think, therefore, that we might follow Clason’s “Seven Cures for the Lean Purse” as our guide today at this LIVE CHAT.

John Burley : Sure.

Peter Sinclair : John, from your own personal experience as someone who was in a position to retire at 32 years of age, what does Clason mean with his number one cure: “Start thy purse to fattening?” Perhaps you could explain it in terms of another quote that he uses: “a part of all you earn is yours to keep” I know that’s a bit of a double-barreled question but it is all related.

John Burley : Peter, it’s actually a very simple idea that is universally powerful. The idea is that you take 10% of your gross income and place it into investments.

Peter Sinclair : What sort of investments?

John Burley : Most people do it in managed funds and things of that nature. This is what I call Level Four investing. Advanced investors, Level Five, radically advance the idea by making much higher rates of return.

Peter Sinclair : This is starting to get very interesting. Please go on John.

The chat was scheduled for one hour and the subject was:

“THE AWESOME POWER OF NETWORKING”

Peter Sinclair : Hi Bob, I just want to welcome you formally to our live chat today.

Bob Burg : Hello Peter. It’s a pleasure to be here.

Peter Sinclair : OK Bob, let’s get straight into it. Four decades ago a concept called “six degrees of separation” was announced. That concept stated that all of us, through our social networks, are within 5 or 6 connections with anyone else on the planet. I thought it was a pretty powerful statement Bob. How would that fact impact the power of networking as you know it?

Bob Burg : Peter, in my opinion, it pretty much shows that he or she who masters the art of building relationships is many, many steps ahead of the game.

Peter Sinclair : So is networking just about building relationships?

Bob Burg : Networking will always be about people and not about things. No matter how good the things. It is not “just” about building relationships, as you said, but without the relationships nothing else happens.

Peter Sinclair : So if you were asked to define networking what would you write?

Bob Burg : I define “networking” as the cultivating of mutually beneficial give and take, win/win relationships. The emphasis is on giving. The “super networkers” who are the most successful networkers tend to be the biggest givers.

Peter Sinclair : So, with that in mind, is giving the only quality you’d suggest we develop to become more effective networkers?

Bob Burg : No, not at all. It just happens to be one quality of a successful networker.

Peter Sinclair : Bob would you please expand on that?

Bob Burg : Sure Peter. What a networker does is constantly reach out and develop “mutually beneficial,” give and take, win/win relationships with people. They do it on a continual basis. The successful networker does this by planting seeds wherever he or she goes. In essence, they are following an intelligent, workable, proven “system” for networking success.

This is the edited transcript of our LIVE CHAT which was conducted by: Peter G. James Sinclair ( www.motivationalmemo.com ) with fellow Motivational Experts:

Richard Duszczak ( www.cartoonmotivators.com ),

Bryan Hall ( www.BryanHall.net ) and

Gary Simpson ( www.motivationselfesteem.com ).

The chat was scheduled for one hour and the subject was:

“THE AWESOME POWER OF GOAL SETTING”

Gary Simpson : Hi all. I’m ready to go.

Peter Sinclair : Richard, Bryan and Gary. In your own words, what would you say a goal is?

Richard Duszczak : Hi Peter, my idea of a goal is something to aim for which presently seems out of reach. It is something that will keep us moving forward.

Bryan Hall : I would say a goal is a level of achievement we strive for. Something we wish to attain, backed with intention.

Gary Simpson : To answer the question, I’d say it is something you aspire to.

Peter Sinclair : What is so important about goal setting? Is it really necessary? Or is it just a lot of hype that keeps us motivational speakers paid?

Gary Simpson : Having goals will prevent you from being one of life’s drifters or what I call a “gunner”. “One day I’m gunner do this and I’m gunner do that.”

Bryan Hall : It’s absolutely necessary. We need them to have a sense of direction, for one thing. If it keeps you paid, that’s probably an achievement of one of your own goals, Peter.

Peter Sinclair : So Gary, when you set a goal, how do you go about it?

Gary Simpson : I usually write things down. I’m a big writer. When I have it on paper it becomes real.

Peter Sinclair : And Bryan, do you have a particular method that has helped you in the area of personal goal setting?

Bryan Hall : I lean towards writing things down, too. I’ve been an aspiring writer since before I could walk, I think. I decided in the second grade that’s what I would be. Writing things down and visualizing myself having already achieved that goal. There’s a lot of power in writing it down. Visualization then acts as reinforcement.

Peter Sinclair : Richard, from talking to you in the past I know you had to overcome a lot to become a motivational cartoonist. How did goal setting help you? Do you have any tricks that you can share?

Richard Duszczak : I write out goals and illustrate them with simple little cartoon drawings. I am a visual man, I suppose.
