Henry Ford and King Belshazzar of Babylonia lived thousands of years apart, but they both had one thing in common that led to disaster. They couldn’t read the writing on the wall.

During a drunken palace feast, Belshazzar used sacred cups and vessels to propose toasts and sing praises to his pagan Gods.Immediately, a supernatural, floating hand wrote several words on the palace wall. The king’s astronomers and magicians couldn’t decode the strange script, so the king sent for Daniel, an exiled Jew, who recognized the Hebrew script and interpreted the words to mean that God had weighed the king’s transgressions and decreed his dynasty and his days on earth were coming to an end.

That night, Belshazzar was murdered and his kingdom divided.

Henry Ford’s failure to “read the writing on the wall” was figurative rather than literal, but it led to the near-death of the company he founded in 1903, Ford Motor Company.

Ford dominated car sales by churning out million cars a year at a price a working man could afford. Ford’s philosophy was to give public the best value by offering a black box with a few frills – the Model T. By 1918, one of every 2 cars on the road was a Ford. The proud, headstrong Henry Ford thought he and his company were invincible.

But, as the country prospered, consumers started demanding more than a black box. Buyers wanted more colors, more variety, more comfort and more features. Even if they had to pay extra to get them.

Another company called General Motors read the writing on the wall. By late 1920s, GM offered five brands – Cadillac, Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile and Chevrolet – in an array of colors and new designs every few years. GM’s sales soared as Ford’s sales slipped.

Henry Ford ignored the writing on the wall, saying that the Model T, basically unchanged in two decades, was fine. He attributed the slip in market share to an incompetent sales force. Frustrated workers tried to persuade Ford to modernize the Model T by surprising him with a sleek, customized version of the “tin Lizzie” upon his return from a vacation. Ford thanked them by kicking in the front windshield and jumping up and down on the roof and hood.  Model T stayed the same.

Ford finally relented when sales of Model T plummeted in 1927, shutting down the main manufacturing plant and sent the workers home. The company that sold 15 million Model Ts was on the brink of bankruptcy.

The expression “the writing on the wall“ refers to ominous signs or megatrends that inevitably lead to misfortune or doom. These signs are so obvious that anyone with average intelligence and a trace of common sense can see them.

Yet, even very smart people like Henry Ford in the 1920s and Ivy League-educated Wall Street bankers in the months and years leading up to the 2008 crash, missed these obvious portents of misfortune.

So why do so many people fail to “read the writing on the wall” ?

One of two Reasons — IGNORANCE or DENIAL

IGNORANCE:  In this day and age, with information available 24/7 at the touch of a mouse, claiming ignorance as an excuse just dosen’t fly anymore. For example, people have always known the dangers of smoking and smokers have always chosen to pretend that inhaling cigarette smoke won’t affect their heart or lungs…until it inevitably does.

DENIAL : Second biggest reason people fail to read the writing on the wall. Denial means “the unwillingness to see or admit a truth that ought to be apparent and is in fact apparent to many others”.  From Start-ups to Mature, powerful corporations have been a victim of Denial.

A lot of business owners, network marketers, highly successful entrepreneurs – may choose to ignore or deny to embrace the internet and change their ways of doing business, especially when it comes to the raw material of generating new customers and leads from internet marketing.

Up until 2 years ago it was not that important. But now at least I can see the writing on the wall, many others have started to see this writing on the wall. I hope you can too!

If you have ever experienced success or failure
by reading the writing on the wall, ever before in your life,
can you please share your story in the comment box below,

July 15: Google Inc. says that during the second quarter, marketers were willing to pay more for the online ads that generate virtually all of Google’s income, and people are clicking on the commercial messages more frequently. Those trends provide another indication that more companies and shoppers are feeling a little better about the economy.

July 16: Gannett Co., the largest U.S. newspaper publisher, shows signs it’s moving closer to ending a 3 1/2-year slump in print advertising, though it still didn’t feel confident enough to predict when the biggest part of its business will begin to grow again. The decline in print ad revenue narrowed in the second quarter to 6 percent.

General Electric Co. says NBC’s broadcast operation is benefiting from continued recovery in the local ad market, with percentage growth for sales in the double digits.

July 20: Yahoo Inc. says revenue in the second quarter looked fairly strong until June, when several large advertisers suddenly reduced their spending. Still, sales of display advertising rose 19 percent in the quarter compared with a year ago, even as the company’s search advertising revenue fell 8 percent.

Omnicom Group Inc., which owns marketing agencies, reports a 4.2 percent rise in quarterly net income, reflecting an uptick in spending on marketing and advertising. Overall revenue was up 5.9 percent and U.S. revenue increased 7.4 percent.

July 22: The New York Times Co. posts its first quarterly revenue growth since 2007. The company managed to keep ad revenue flat in the second quarter, as a 21 percent jump in digital ad sales offset a 6 percent decline in print.

Microsoft Corp. says advertisements placed alongside search results on its Bing site helped its online ad business increase revenue by 19 percent.

July 28: Comcast Corp. says revenue for local ads shown on its cable channels grew 23 percent during the quarter, led by automotive, though all categories are up in double-digit percentages.

IAC/InterActiveCorp says revenue climbed nearly 19 percent, much of it because of growth in the company’s core search business, which includes the search engine Ask.com. Revenue comes primarily from online advertising, and that has been improving after a slump in the online ad market plagued the business throughout most of last year.

July 29: McClatchy’ reports ad revenue fell by its lowest rate in more than three years. The 8 percent decrease for the April-June period compared with last year marked the least erosion in McClatchy’s ad revenue since a 5 percent decline in the first three months of 2007 from the previous year’s quarter.

Interpublic Group of Cos., which owns advertising agencies, reports second-quarter results above analyst estimates – the latest indication that companies are growing more comfortable spending on advertising as the economy recovers. However, CEO Michael I. Roth acknowledges that there are still “areas of uncertainty” in the worldwide economy.

Aug. 3: CBS Corp. reports that local advertising revenue rose 17 percent, helping lift total ad sales for the company by 9 percent. Outdoor ad revenue from billboards rose 5 percent.

Aug. 4: At Time Warner Inc.’s cable TV channels, which include CNN, TBS, the Cartoon Network and others, ad revenue was up by 14 percent. Even Time Warner’s magazines, which face a long-term threat from competition online for both readers and advertisers, saw a modest 4 percent increase in ad sales.

News Corp. reports that local television station advertising revenue grew 29 percent in the latest quarter because of strength in the automobile and telecom sectors. It says ad revenue at its domestic cable channels, including Fox News Channel, grew 11 percent. But ad revenue at social networking site MySpace fell.

AOL Inc. says second-quarter advertising revenue fell 27 percent – even faster than it did in the first three months of the year. But CEO Tim Armstrong says much of AOL’s decline stems from its efforts to get rid of ad products and operations that may be contributing to its revenue but not to its earnings.

Aug. 5: Viacom Inc., which operates cable channels including BET, MTV, Comedy Central and Nickelodeon, says that both domestic and international ad revenue climbed 4 percent from the same quarter a year ago.

Aug. 6: The Washington Post Co. reports a rebound in spending on television advertising. Revenue at the company’s six broadcast stations climbed 24 percent to $82.6 million as demand for commercial time picked up. Newspaper advertising declines have eased since the bottom of the recession. Still, the company’s flagship daily newspaper saw a 6 percent decline in print ad sales.

They used a simple tweak called the “Google Switch” to
exponentially increase their leads & profits…

Anyway, check it out: “Google Switch”

There’s nothing to buy either… just a free 100+ page
traffic blueprint that you can download and put to use right
away!

I’m implementing it right now, so lemme know how it goes…

Its all about going the extra mile. Reading another document might seem boring, but only the ones who have the discipline to do it, will excel !

Life is like going upstairs on a downward escalator, in that if you’re not stepping up fast enough, you’re surely going down.

Life is not like a stairway upon which you can reach a certain step and then stop and maintain your position. Just as a tree is either growing or decaying, so we are either progressing or regressing. Whats the next step after a tomato grows ripe? It starts to decay. Same for humans too! We have to deliberately add in positive to see positive growth.., and just doing nothing and staying standstill will automatically yield negative results… SCARY ?

..Its the Law of Nature - Life will just NOT operate at standstill.

Why Wal-Mart overtook K-Mart ?

Don Soderquist, a retired senior vice chairman of the board of  Wal-Mart was at a banquet one evening and had the opportunity to meet with Harry Cunningham, the former CEO of K-Mart stores. Harry Cunningham was the legendary character who dramatically changed retail in America by developing the concept of K-Mart stores for the former Kresge company — A model Don carefully studied and considered while developing Wal-Mart stores.

Don thanked Harry for what he had done in pioneering the successful discounting format as we know it today.  Harry graciously accepted his praise, but was quick to add how much he appreciated what Wal-Mart had done in developing the concept even further.

He went on to say, “We made a serious mistake along the way by not changing and updating our stores over the years. We had a successful formula that was working and saw no reason to change. You folks at Wal-Mart continued to improve until you were much better than we were, and by that time, you passed us by.”

Don Soderquist learned a lesson in that conversation that while success can lead to success, it could also lead to failure if you refuse to focus on improving.

There is magic in the extra mile!

It is by pushing ourselves to our current maximum that we open the door of growth to a new maximum. For example, much of the growth from weightlifting comes from the final reps before you can lift no more. If you could bench press 200 pounds a maximum of 10 reps, 80% of muscle growth and increased strength will result from the final 2 reps,  and only 20% of the growth results from the first 8 reps. Last 2 reps are the hardest, but if neglected will cost you 80% of your growth.  It does not require twice the effort to achieve twice the improvement, because the final efforts of maximum exertion results in exponential returns.

In Business, if you were to simply work an additional 40 minutes a day, which could be achieved by taking your lunch to work and eating quickly in your office instead of going out, you would complete an additional month of full time work each year!

All animals below the intelligence of mankind are forced to go the extra mile just in order to survive. But man has a choice, we can get by without going the extra mile, but the riches of the world will only come to us if we stretch out the extra mile.

Thanks! I greatly appreciate it!

Can you imagine getting dozens of emails with that SUBJECT LINE in your inbox every week…?

ITS POSSIBLE…IF you use the strategies, tactics and marketing system & sales funnels that we’ve created for you…I get these e-mails all the time!

I just can’t begin to tell you how incredible it feels to wake up in the morning, stumble down to my computer with a cup of java and fire it up to find not one, not two..but sometimes 3,4,5+ emails telling me how much money I’ve made while I was sleeping.

Going from $0.00 in profit for years and now waking up to money being deposited in my bank account while I was sleeping!……….

I sooo badly want YOU to experience this for yourself!

Once you’ve got your Marketing System set up, your capture page, your lead capture form, your email auto-responder campaign…generating auto-pilot income comes down to just ONE thing…

Driving quality traffic to your website.

THAT’S IT. And honestly, that’s the EASY part!

The hardest part is getting the entire marketing system set up in the first place. This is usually the BIG obstacle that stops most network marketers from ever creating any success online.

Please comment or share with us in the box below.

With Facebook’s ever-changing layout, and the fact that other social sites are encroaching on its real-time update strangle-hold, it’s easy to forget that there are some pretty nifty tricks you can pull using your humble Facebook status.

I’ve pulled together few useful how-to tips & tricks that will help you get the most out of your facebook status update.

Read on and let me know the ones you like in the comment box below.

1. HOW TO: Hide Status Updates From Certain People

Using Facebook’s general privacy settings (find these by hitting “account” on the top right of a Facebook page) you can select whether everyone, just friends or friends of friends can see your status updates. However, there is a way to narrow those options down even further.

You can select specific friend lists to see your status (relevant for work, special interest groups, etc.) or even individual people by name, which is useful for anyone organizing a surprise party.

To take advantage of these options, click the padlock icon just below your “what’s on your mind” box on your wall and a drop down menu should appear. Selecting “customize” will bring up more options such as “make this visible to” and “hide from” with the option to make your selection a default.

2. HOW TO: Pre-Schedule Status Updates

While SocialOomph, Sendible and HootSuite () offer the same kind of service, the simplest way to schedule Facebook status updates is by using the easy, free Later Bro service.

Just sign in with Facebook Connect, select your time zone, type in what it is you’d like to say, set the calendar and clock to when you’d like to say it, and presto!

I personally use SocialOomph because of its flexibility with twitter and integration with blog posts.

3. HOW TO: Tag People in Your Status Updates

This was quite a big deal when it was announced this past September, but from the amount of searches on the topic “how can I make someone’s name go blue in a Facebook status?” it seems it’s not universally known.

To mention someone in a status update just type “@” (a la Twitter ()) in the status bar and start typing their name as it appears on Facebook. An auto-generated list will then come up with people in your social circle whose name starts with the letters you’ve typed. The feature also works with pages, brands, events and companies.

Hit the name you want, complete the update, click share and the name will become a hyperlink (you won’t see the @ symbol) and will appear in blue text.

4. HOW TO: Add Symbols to Your Facebook Status

Although there are plenty of emoticons that work with Facebook Chat, typing “:)” into Facebook’s status bar will not magically transform into a smiley yellow face. In fact, the only symbol you can create in a Facebook status update through the shortcut keys is a ♥, by typing “<3.”

While this won’t bother many Facebook users, others more used to punctuating their missives can copy and paste web-happy, universal symbols into the box, as you can see in the screengrab above.

PC users can also access some symbols by hitting “alt” + various number combinations (on a numerical keypad). So, while smileys are yet to hit Facebook statuses, you can annoy or amuse your buddies with symbols right now.

5. HOW TO: Have Fun With Facebook’s Humorous Language Options

While you can always change your setting into more sensible alternative languages, the site offers a couple of fun linguistic Easter eggs.

You can chose to have Facebook display upside down English, or, for anyone feeling a little salty, in “pirate.” Pirate essentially turns your status into your “plank,” your attachments into “loot” and instead of “share” it offers the option to “blabber t’ yer mates.”

Sadly, anything you type in the status bar won’t be upside down, or pirate-y. But with the use of some external sites you can achieve the same effect.

TypeUpsideDown.com and UpsideDownText.com are just two examples of sites that can flip your text, while the Talk Like a Pirate Day site can help you with your pirate translations.

6. HOW TO: See Status Updates From Around the World

If you want to get a glimpse of the thoughts of Facebook users from around the world’s, head over to OpenBook.

Created by three San Fran web developers with a serious privacy message in mind, the site aggregates the status updates of everyone whose privacy levels are set to “everyone.”

You can narrow your searchable results down by gender and keywords to find out what people are saying about a certain topic. Or you can just browse the recent searches.

7. HOW TO: See Your Status Update Stats

Have you ever wondered how many times you have updated your status on Facebook? The Facebook app Status Statistics, can tell you this and more.

The app analyzes your updates and gives you a tidy list of how many you’ve written, the average word count and how many times a day you post. In addition, it generates a graph that shows you what time of day or what days of the week you normally update.

Old statuses are also searchable via the app, so you can find that witty retort you made back in November 2009 without having to scroll back through your history.

8. HOW TO: Play a Trick On Your Friends in Your Status Update

We have a funny one to end on — a way to play an amusing trick on your Facebook buddies.

This clever link “http://facebook.com/profile.php?=73322363″ looks like it could be a URL for anyone’s Facebook profile, actually takes anyone logged into Facebook to their own profile page.

If you try it out, be sure to remove the link preview that Facebook auto-ads. Have fun, and don’t be too mean…
