John/Gemsmaker!

Just curious about your egroup and now I ambeing bombarded by

enails. Can't

have that!

First off let me share with you that the "Think & Grow Rich" book is

also

used in the EQUINOX INTERNATIONAL group, and he is under

FTC charges at this

time.

What isthe meat of your business and why isn't it mentioned in the

email.Anyone can network on chat groups and egroups! So how

does a $150.00

check come out of this legally?

please come to the aid of your fearless leader and loving, dedicated

sys op and post a few posts about what this Discussion List and

its PEOPLE have meant to you over the past few years or few

months, whatever your case may be, for the benefit of some of the

newbies that hae joined us now that we have become an open and

public list instead of being the private list we were for years before.

I'm looking for folks like Peggy Hendricks, Tim Johnson, Dick

Jacobs, Jeff Lehman, John McMenemy, Mary Ellen Smith, Dan

Fendl, Dave Fitch, Ralph Patzke, Roger Wincek, Ray Bartlett,

Pete McKeown, Joe Mastrioanni, JoAnne Robbins, Jon Vasey,

Laureen Jandroep, Mike Little, Keith Baker, Joyce Frehling, Jeff

Wells, Jacques DuFour, and I could name many, many others but

these are names that pop up into my mind just from recent email

correspondence from folks that I know are subscribed to the list.

Now, while I'm waiting for these OLDtimers and MIDDLEtimers to

encourage Bob a little and share with him what this list has meant

to their lives and businesses over the years, I'll quickly answer a

few of Bob's questions:

# 1 Regarding the onslaught of emails, your reaction is common

amongst AOLers because, quite frankly, their email system stinks!

Those of us that have been on the list a long time use more

advanced software packages like Eudora of Pegasus for email

maagement productivity that would MAKE YOUR EYES BUG OUT!

You can get these programs for free at

http://www.pegasus.usa.com and/or http://www.eudora.com

However, the EASIEST solution for an overwhelemed MLBer is to

click on the link below directly above my sig line where it says it's

your responsibility to manage your subscription, Bob. You

subscribed yourself, and to get off, you have to unsubscribe

yourself. There;s way too many list members for me to subscribe

and unsubscribe people all day. That's why that two line message

is in every one of my posts. By going to the DIGEST, you will get 1

email per day with all the little emails NICEly wrapped up inside!

That's the perfect, happy solution for many AOLers. However, alot

of AOLers prefer the individual email method, even with AOL's

clunky email system. I admire them! :)

# 2 Even crooks read good books! :0

# 3 The meat of my business is representing ProSTEP. I just came

out of a six month retirement after serving as the President of one

of the most successful software companies to ever serve the

network marketing industry.We did approaching $ 2 million dollars

in sales in 3+ years *out of my home.*

I've come out of retirement to build a *residual* income in the 6 or 7

digit annual category. Nothing less would hold any interest or

motivation for me. 

# 4 Regarding the $150 check question, if you read that email

carefully, you would have noticed that the subject line said

CLASSIC and that the email reproduced inside was from mid-1996.

At that time, I was only about a half a year into the development of

our software company and I was one of the top reps for a network

marketing company that has provided leads and advertising to the

network marketing industry for 5 full years now called ProSTEP 

current state of the world, Bob. But sometimes you just get lucky

and happen to run into a great group of people like the folks on the

MLB list.

Now, if you need to get on the DIGEST, AOLers, click on the link

below that talking about managing your MLB subscription. We

actually have 4 different list receiving options for your reading

pleasure and conveniience!

OLDtimers and MIDDLEtimers, lend a helping hand, if you would!

Help this ol' gemsMAKER, y'all never let me down! And you don't

have to be named in the above list to post, heck, if my name wasn't

listed, I'd post just to make sure folks new I was still kicking! :)

FYI!

Keep up the GREAT WORK, EVERYBODY!<g>
