Week In Review – February 28, 2009
Well two months are done in this year already. Where did the time go? Not sure but things are really rolling along quickly or it just may be being old and bald that makes it seem that way.
Been behind most of this week as I a flu bug kicked my butt and I lost a day resting and then spent a day traveling to honor my ex-mother in law who passed this week. She will be missed but would have been very pleased with the service.
The other thing that has slowed me down this week is implementing the start of my outsourcing. I have outsourced frequently before but this time I am in the process of taking it to the next level using John Jonas ideas in ReplaceMyself.com. Like all new items added into your business this has a learning curve and you actually slow down a bit before you can increase your business.
Probably a lesson though that we all need to consider and remember. Yes the sales letter for each and every product will tell you how easy it is and for most good products it is…
Once you get through the learning curve and apply the information. You will always have a learning curve and application time and all too often we don’t take that time or the effort to get through it. Think about that fact the next time you are looking at the next shiny object and make sure that you have applied the last one before you head off in a new direction. Understand that sometimes it takes a small step backwards (the application time) to move forward.
Well enough pontificating today I guess funerals (and at my age they have become all too regular of an occurrence) makes me look back and rethink things. Off to the blogs.

Whats new
Joel Osborne launched his Product Creation Success package and I did a white paper for purchasers on why he would sell so much value for such a low price. If you grab the package send a support request with a copy of your receipt to my help desk and I will send you the download link.
Robert Plank released his new Time Management On Crack product which I reviewed and loved. Not sure what Planky’s thing is with on crack but it is a common theme in his products. Something for inquiring minds to figure out? If you can figure it out let me know as it must be a young whippersnapper thing that is beyond this old bald guy.
Dr Mani released a free report that you don’t even need to opt in for that is worth checking out Business Multiplier. Very powerful ideas and won’t take you long to read. However, like most things the key is to apply them.
Been lots of big launches like the PPC Classroom and Ewen Chia’s book. I have not reviewed any of them but am sure you got pounded with email on them if you are on more than one list.
Will be doing a seminar today at noon if you read this early enough at Affiliate Funnel on Tracking – the key to improvement. Affiliate Funnel is free to join and the weekly seminars are valuable even when I am not the speaker 
.
Upcoming
Last thing as this has become a huge review this week but Doug Champigny is launching his Free PLR Giveaway Sunday at noon. This is an invitation only event for contributors so there will only be quality new PLR products in there. Can be a great way to get some quality PLR for free. Properly applied (see the continuing theme today ) these can be a great boost to your business.

As always, look forward to your updates for things I have missed during the week. There have been some big launches as my mailbox has been full. Looks like a few good reads for the weekend and I also recommend Joel’s book. It has been a good read. Thanks.

Hi, Mike!
First up, condolences on the passing of your ex-mother-in-law – it’s a sign of a true gentleman that you not only honor your in-laws, but ex-in-laws as well.
As always, another great weekly recap. One thing – now that you’re moving more heavily into outsourcing, perhaps you could provide some suggestions for people looking to outsource some of their Internet marketing activities. While a lot of marketers recommend it, very few offer any links to some of the better outsourcing sources.
Looking forward to hearing you at the Affiliate Funnel broadcast today!

My condolences as well, Mike. Funerals always give one pause at our advancing age. The only line I can think of where we’d just as soon not be in front.
Thanks again for all you do.

Mike,
Did you really have to remind us that two months are gone already? How can we get things done when time flies so fast?
But I see you got quite a bit done in spite of the things that happened in your life this week.
Enjoyed the recap and I also enjoyed and recommend Joel’s new product.
Thanks

Sorry to hear about your ex-mother-in-law.
Thank you for the review again, it helps to remind us of what we may have missed out on during the week. I dont think many people do weekly reviews… a great idea.

Hey Mike!
I too like the idea of the weekly review. When I’m old and bald and have a whole bunch of blogs I might just have to do that as well.
Oh, wait, I’m already there. At least the old and bald part. Damn the luck. Question – If you can’t see the bald spot in the mirror does that mean your still bald?
My condolences as well on the passing of your ex mother-in-law.
Thanks again for the weekly update. It helps me make sure I didn’t miss anything.
