The $552.50 Movie Ticket

As I write this version of the NPT newsletter, it is early Friday morning, and I am on board an Air Canada Airbus 330 enroute from Vancouver to Toronto. We’ve been in the air for 20 minutes, are now zooming along at 499 miles per hour, and expect to arrive in Toronto in about 4 hours.
Usually at this point in a flight, I would be comfortably settled, and looking forward to a ‘tasty’ airline breakfast.
I could also be engrossed in the latest issue of Revenue magazine, or reading “The Best American Travel Writing 2004″ and adding exotic destinations to my travel wish list.
So, why am I writing (read ‘working’), instead of reading and relaxing?

Hi Rosalind,
I discovered your site a few days ago & I must say that your are really good at what you do! I’m knew to internet marketing & I have been scouring the web for pertinent information. Needless to say that I bought into the “Get Rich Quick” crap that is proliferating on the web as well as snail mail. It wasn’t until I came across people like you and a couple of others such as Ken McCarthy, Corey Rudl, Dan Kennedy that I believe I hit upon one of the keys. I will be more frugal with spending money on courses until I’m absolutely there is value there. I will learn all I can about marketing on the internet, writing sales copy, learning html, building my email list. But first and foremost finding my market niche. I enjoyed the piece you did today about Joel gave me food for thought. Keep up the good work. Thanks for your insight.

Some things in self-development/motivation books stick with me, and one of the things that have always stuck me, Rosalind, is hearing Zig Ziglar, in his Over The Top tape say: “Approach your work, as if you had to finish all of your remaining work in order to go on a vacation - knowing that if you didn’t finish it, you can’t leave on Friday night.” You reminded me of that. Thanks for the blog/newsletter entry.
