Pre New-Year Message
This past week has been a very unusual time for me. During most of the year, I work extremely hard and keep ridiculously long hours. However in the past week, I have finally had a chance to relax and to reflect on my life. I’ve also had an opportunity to spend time with my beloved wife and daughter. With the holiday season now upon us, I’m sure I’m not the only one.
Earlier this week I emailed you a link to view the movie The Secret. Within hours, I received positive feedback. It seems like people loved watching the movie.
Here are just a few comments I received about The Secret:
————————————
Hi Ben,
Of all the other presents I have received, this video is by far the best. This is what I needed to get my life back on track to set and achieve my goals for 2007.
This has given me the “kick in the pants” that I’m sure we all need from time to time to keep us focused.
Thank you so much.
Sincerely,
Alec
Ben
Thank you for your holiday gift…. “The Secret” is an awesome, unbridled, joyful presentation of what we can all become. It was unbelievably uplifting for me, allowed me to see some things that have been staring me in the face, yet I couldn’t see them. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Certainly no coincidence, you’re having sent the email and my reading it…..
Here’s to a joy-filled, intent-driven 2007!
Regards,
Van
Thank You -Thank You!!!!!
A friend of mine was looking for this video to send to me and of course for herself, but could not find it. She is overjoyed to have a copy and so am I.
Thank You and have a safe and Happy Holiday Season.
I look forward to our continued contact in 2007

Thank you for the video gift Ben. It’s odd that the video is very much in alignment with some literature I received out of nowhere some months back. What’s interesting about
the fact you sent this to me is this; I’ve been having trouble with ‘visualizing’, or techniques to help me effectively visualize and I’m an artist, play music and write (non of these professionally), but all self taught.
Being an artist (I’m not half bad) you would think I’d be able to easily visualize in the minds-eye those things I want to clearly see and strive for. The interesting part is, I’ve been putting much thought into visualization and techniques to accomplish this effectively and along comes your gift. Wonderful! Why? Because, once I was finished watching the video, I came out of it with some techniques that I think will benefit me in this area. So again, I can’t thank you enough.
Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones Ben and may you continue to be prosperous and happy.
Tim

With the new year approaching, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about this past year. I’ve been thinking a lot about how I’ve grown in the past twelve months, both professionally and personally. When I think back to the root cause of this growth, I keep thinking about an ebook that really has become one of the greatest influences in my life. The ebook is called The Master Blueprint by Willie Crawford . I can’t express enough to you how important I feel this book is. Willie sells The Master Blueprint on his website for $27, but as a special end of the year treat, I am offering it to you for free. I strongly advise you to download and read it. The link is here:
http://www.adsenseadwords.com/freebonus/MasterBlueprint.pdf
These are just some of the lessons that I learnt from The Master Blueprint:
1. If you have a goal that seems unobtainable, you should break it up into bite-sized pieces and then try and attack it that way.
2. Try your best to conquer your fears; they will only hold you back.
3. Only buy products that will drive you positively towards your goal.
4. You are entitled to everything you want in life. It is simply up to you to make it happen.
5. By taking action, you are setting yourself apart from the others who just complain about their circumstances and do nothing to change them.
6. Don’t let failure or the thought of failure paralyze you.
I know that some of these points are a bit vague, but I think if you apply them to your own life, that they will have a tremendous impact. If you want to discover more, then download the ebook for free. http://www.adsenseadwords.com/freebonus/MasterBlueprint.pdf
You may remember that about a month ago I gave you the link to download another Willie Crawford ebook called The One Thing for free ( http://www.clarifywithben.com/onething/theonething.htm )
Advertised within The One Thing for free is information about joining The Internet Marketing Inner Circle. I paid for a membership because I knew that the information contained would pay for itself. At $197 it was a little expensive but I decided that it was worthy investment and that the investment would pay off many times over. In retrospect, it was an excellent decision and I have generated over $10,000 as a direct result of one of the interviews that I listened to from that site.

AN ASIDE:
One of my secret tips is to comment on a post on the blogs of gurus in order to build relationships with them. If you have something important you’d like to say to a guru, posting to their blog is the best way for them to read it since many emails are often lost in spam folders and support tickets are often replied to by support staff.
Don’t hesitate to post, gurus love to read and respond to people.
——————————
Since I joined The Internet Marketing Inner Circle, Willie has added a ‘Lite’ memberhip which is far more affordable. I assume that this is a temporary thing as I have not seen it advertised anywhere. I would strongly advise you to go right now and sign up. It would be a shame for you to wait and miss the chance to take advantage of this price.

P.S. – I realize now that I have gone against the biggest rule of writing an effective email by giving you too many calls-to-act! Therefore if you do just one thing from this email, please take a look at http://www.clarifywithben.com/recommends/innercircle to see if it is right for you or not. Don’t miss out.

Ben,
I have not had time to view video, and as you are well aware I am as mean as an Australian Tiapan
snake and have have very little appreciation for anything that starts out free and has a hand out
at the end. It is simply bait and switch. Marketing yes? Something I simply find objectionable and view as avery bad business model regardless of whatever business venue it is used. Not personally directed at you jy=ust the practice in general regradless of who uses the technique

Ben I have copy of The Secret that I purchased from the producer and it is definitely outstanding. For anyone that is moved by The Secret I recommend The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity by Catherine Ponder and Busting Lose From The Money Game by Bob Scheinfeld. Bob’s book will definitely rock your world. Both can be found at Amazon.com

Hey ben Scot Corbett here from Utah.
What a rainy morning it has turned out to be my friend.
It seems that I have took on the biggest project that I have taken so far, But that is not a bad thing because it is the one thing I have invisiond for quite some time.
It is the launch of Scorbetts the most controversial and sought after self developement site on line.
It seems I am having a hard time considering that I am set to launch on Jan 1st 2007 at 1:27am that is when the world stops in aw as one mans vision goes viral mine.
I was thinking about the six rules that I’ve learned from the master blue print but I seem to be having a problem breaking all that I have to do down into smaller more obtainable goals.
With so much left to do I have been unable to send out any squeese pages or advertising.
What should one do to obtain success as they are so close to seeing there vision manifest. I am feeling a little overwhelmed and confused as to wht to do next can you clairify the fundamentals of a successful launch so I can remain focused and maybe you would like to jump on this crazy train.
I have a feeling that Scorbetts is the next big thing considering I’ve watched the way trends are set on line and I am a some what of a trend setter myself Ben.
I am willing to open my doors to a man with integrity and the whit that you so do posses.
All I can say is when you all wake up on jan 1st the internet will be for ever changed.
Scorbetts will be live so prepare for a new breed of internet marketer . thanks your friend Scot Corbett Utah

Great inspiration
For A long time now I have been wanting to watch the Secret video and low and behold, I actually knew this stuff, vithout actually knowing that I did. It has now finally come clear to me.
Thanks Ben.

hi ben,
thx for the link to the “secret” movie; it was very kind of you to share this with your members. i purchased this some months ago and have been sharing it with biz partners, friends and family (the ones that are open to it and i don’t make that call for them). it is a wonderful movie and clarifies some of the concepts in the more popular movie “what the bleep” that got some good publicity but was definitely more commercial. that’s probably a good thing are more people will watch it. the secret is certainly starting to gain a following. i’m hearing about it more and more and in the general population.
thx again ben, marylou

After Hurricane Katrina destroyed our lives here in Gulfport, Mississippi, not many of us have very much positive energy among us. I received The Secret, I listened to it, I accepted it, and IT WORKS!! I drew a picture of the home I wanted to get out of this FEMA trailer. I dreamed it, wished it, spoke of it, believed it with all of my heart and soul, and today we were notified that we will have our new home in 90 days!! Now my husband wants to watch the video. Thank you so much for the well-needed energy!!!

in the midst of building my empire and looking for a key domain name.
Thanks for reminding me that i’m Not crazy. @$@!&#%$!%!!
After all i’ve learned the only thing left to accomplish is to become accomplished. No looking back & to just go for it before it’s gone forever…
Opt me in so the next time we e-meet i’ll give you my web add. and i’ll add yours aswell.

Hi Ben,
Wow, what a buzz…..I admit it..
I’d wached the video and and I think it’s really awesome.
It’s great to make it FREE to the whole online community.
I just want to take this moment to thank you for your support and
encouragement within the whole 2006.
I’m already looking forward to 2007, there are a number of
very exciting projects lined up and I think it will be an incredible
year…
I’ve lots to tell you about after the holidays and my hope
is that we can continue to both working in the same path and progress
in the year to come.
It is my personal wish for you to have a happy and joyous holiday
season. I hope you will cherish the time you spend with those people
that are most important to you and in the process cherish the
memories.
And here is something I wanted to share with you, Ben.
As you know today we are witnesses to people telling us:
“I am spending more money than I’m making. This doesn’t work.”
And finally……they give up…
Sometimes, it is best to keep what you are trying to accomplish to
yourself. And I think it worths.
That would be like waking up in a dream, wouldn’t it?
But the great thing is that this is for real. It’s a real-world
business that you can be really proud to be involved in.
Finally I want to wish you an Awesome and Unforgettable New Year!
best wishes,
Elitsa

Dear Ben,
That was just a tremendous video. I have learned a lot.
I am planning to do some major steps this year, going into areas that I have not gone before, and I can see them working.
It has power, it reinforces what I already know, it spurs me to do better.
Many, many, many thanks

Ben,
What an awesome thing it is you have done. “The Secret” is the one movie I think everyone should watch. I watched it a year ago wen it came out and the single viewing was three dollars or some such. Your ideas and principles are spot on and when your emails arrive in my box, they are one of the few that I open immediately. Once again, thanks for everything, it is wonderful to be on your list. Hope your holidays so far have been awesome!
Becky
