			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A friend of mine is in Kenya for<br />
another week of work. </p>
<p>Through phone messaging, I&#8217;ve had the<br />
chance to talk to him a couple times in<br />
the week he&#8217;s already spent there. </p>
<p>Gotta admint, it&#8217;s neat to get an inside<br />
scoop on places you haven&#8217;t been. </p>
<p>Anyways, first things I asked him was<br />
how&#8217;s the coffee? and when&#8217;s the Safari? </p>
<p>Much to my surprise, they (the kenyans)<br />
don&#8217;t drink much coffee over there. Tea<br />
is their official drink &#8211; the british<br />
influence in Kenya&#8217;s history probably<br />
has a lot to do with that.  </p>
<p>Anyways, </p>
<p>I was surprised because the Kenyan AA<br />
coffee, I&#8217;ve been getting (from Torcedor<br />
Coffee) is excellent. Figured they&#8217;d be<br />
drinking their own coffee too, but instead,<br />
they export most of it.</p>
<p>Hey, whatever works. Capitalist pig that I<br />
am, I say kudos to them for making a<br />
living selling their delicious coffee. </p>
<p>that&#8217;s all for today,<br />
Moose</p>
<p>p.s. Almost forgot &#8212; they got to do the<br />
safair last weekend and sounds like my<br />
friend was shutter happy, snapping<br />
around 400 photos. Looking forward to<br />
seeing some of those shots. </p>
<p>p.p.s. By the way, here&#8217;s the website<br />
for <a title="Torcedor Coffee" target="_blank" href="http://www.torcedorcoffee.com">Torcedor Coffee</a> &#8211; <a title="Torcedor Coffee" target="_blank" href="http://www.torcedorcoffee.com">http://www.torcedorcoffee.com</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Twinkletoes she is not. </p>
<p>Kirstie Alley nearly hit the ballroom<br />
floor again and yet Sugar Ray (the<br />
boxing great) got the boot. </p>
<p>Go figure. </p>
<p>Can&#8217;t really blame him since most of his<br />
life was spent holding a posture<br />
designed to protect his noggin and body&#8230;<br />
not dance the waltz&#8230; </p>
<p>But</p>
<p>(At least back then) he was lighter on<br />
his feet. </p>
<p>Something Kirstie clearly is not. </p>
<p>She could change that if she wanted to. </p>
<p>It wouldn&#8217;t take much time out of her day. </p>
<p>Just a couple minutes a day while she<br />
gets started with a simple exercise and<br />
a $6 piece of equipment and maybe some<br />
extra how-to tips from Vince Palko. </p>
<p>Hope the name of Palko&#8217;s (Linebacker<br />
Fitness) book doesn&#8217;t scare her off. </p>
<p>If kids and granpdas can do this<br />
exercise, she certainly can (that is, if<br />
her doctor gives her the okay). </p>
<p>Heck, kids don&#8217;t even think of it as<br />
exercise, as far as they&#8217;re concerned<br />
it&#8217;s a fun game to play with friends. </p>
<p>Anyways, get the scoop here at<br />
<a title="You know you're curious to see what it is" target="_blank" href="http://www.andymoose.com/linebackerfitness">www.andymoose.com/linebackerfitness</a></p>
<p>adios,<br />
Andy &#8220;tenderfoot&#8221; Moose</p>
<p>p.s. I am NOT a doctor. Just a guy<br />
recommending what I think is great info<br />
about a simple, quick exercise that<br />
doesn&#8217;t have to be boring. </p>
<p>So, for the legal beagles out there,<br />
&#8220;Please, check with your doctor before<br />
starting any new exercise programs&#8221;</p>
<p>That said, I&#8217;ve bought this same book<br />
with my own money. I like it and<br />
recommend it to you today. </p>
<p>If you do buy it from this link:<br />
<a title="Learn More About Linebacker Fitness" target="_blank" href="http://www.andymoose.com/linebackerfitness">www.andymoose.com/linebackerfitness</a><br />
I&#8217;ll get a commission. </p>

recommending the book to you, then use<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For one, all of us mere mortals (myself included) ought to start out <br />
easy when starting up a new routine &#8211; especially new exercise routines. <br />
 <br />
Afterall, what good is training if a) you hate it, or b) you get hurt. <br />
 <br />
Unless you&#8217;re trying something crazy, you can avoid both of these <br />
problems by easing into it. Even 1 minute a day to start things off <br />
will be better than none at all. <br />
 <br />
(Side Note: ALWAYS get doctor-approval before starting new diet or <br />
training programs)<br />
 <br />
2.  Focusing on something quick and easy, like 1 minute of holding <br />
the pushup position or a wallchair, makes it easy to get it done today, <br />
and the next day and so on&#8230; and it sets you up for success. <br />
String a couple days together and soon you might find it easier to do it <br />
than to skip it.  <br />
 <br />
3.  Yes, you have time. If you&#8217;re just getting started &#8211; try holding a <br />
pushup for time, or sit in a wall chair position for 60 seconds and <br />
when you&#8217;re done you can check it of the list and call it a day. <br />
 <br />
3.5  Do this first thing in the morning to give your day a quick boost. <br />
And one thing already marked off your list. <br />
 <br />
-Andy Moose<br />
 <br />
p.s. Pushups and Wall-Chairs are just two of many different exercises <br />
you can do for a minute. In Matt Furey&#8217;s book Combat Conditioning - <br />
there&#8217;s 48 bodyweight exercises &#8211; pick out some favorites to do daily <br />
or rotate them if you like. <br />
 <br />
Check it out here &#8211; <a target="_blank" href="http://www.andymoose.com/combatconditioning">www.andymoose.com/combatconditioning</a> <br />
 <br />
p.p.s. If you like what you see and you buy the book, I may get <br />
a commission for recommending it to you.  <br />
That said, you might not use or like all the exercises listed in this book, <br />
but I bet you&#8217;ll find (like I have) a handful you like to do. <br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems fitting that someone who&#8217;s built her<br />
musical career through hard work and massive use<br />
of online medias would be the first to crack the<br />
9 million followers mark on twitter. </p>
<p>I don&#8217;t follow Lady Gaga but lately I&#8217;ve started<br />
paying more attention to what she&#8217;s doing. </p>
<p>Especially as more marketers are commenting on the<br />
promotional things she does and how business<br />
owners can also do those things to make more sales<br />
and have a raving customer base that looks to them<br />
like Lady Gaga&#8217;s (affectionately named) Little<br />
Monsters look up to her. </p>
<p>Sure, she&#8217;s an extreme example in many cases, but<br />
lookit, she&#8217;s communicating on a daily basis with<br />
her fans and customers through twitter and you&#8217;d<br />
think she also sends out an email letter with<br />
stories and new announcements etc&#8230;</p>
<p>So, in addition to buying her products (aka CD&#8217;s,<br />
concert tickets, etc&#8230;) they&#8217;re tuned in on a<br />
daily basis to see &#8220;What&#8217;s New&#8221;.</p>
<p>Imagine what it would do for your business if your<br />
customers were looking for And Getting new info<br />
from you on a daily (or at bare minimum, a weekly)<br />
basis and through that communications you build up<br />
a relationship with customers and prospects that<br />
makes them much much more likely to come to you First,<br />
when they&#8217;re ready to buy. </p>
<p>Now, twitter is all fine and dandy but it&#8217;s<br />
limited to 140 characters (which isn&#8217;t even half<br />
of the previous paragraph). </p>
<p>If you use it, great, but one thing to consider is<br />
to regularly offer people to signup for your email<br />
letters (like this one) where You Own the list and<br />
you can write as often as you like. </p>
<p>Sending tips, stories, insider information and<br />
special offers to your customers. </p>
<p>And if you know how to write emails that sell,<br />
that&#8217;s even better. </p>
<p>Because not only will your customers enjoy getting<br />
your letters, you&#8217;ll make more money. </p>
<p>Adios,<br />
Andy Moose</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Got this email about a week ago from Wally &#8220;The Web Guy&#8221; <br />
and I wanted to pass it on to you. </p>
<p>adios, <br />
Andy Moose</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Never be fired again</p>
<p>A few days ago a friend of mine walked into her office charged up <br />
and ready to take on the day.  She had a team of salespeople under <br />
her and felt like she was climbing up the ladder and doing <br />
everything that she needed to become more successful.</p>
<p>All of that changed within about 10 seconds of arriving.</p>
<p>Without any warning, she was told to pack up her stuff and get <br />
off the premises within the hour.</p>
<p>She had been fired.   Just like that.</p>
<p>This is a lady who was good at her job.  In fact, she had been so <br />
good at her job that she was promoted about a year ago to manage <br />
the other sales people.  She had been given a raise.  She was <br />
well respected around the office.</p>
<p>It didn&#8217;t matter.  </p>
<p>Someone upstairs was crunching numbers, and they decided that it <br />
was time to put the axe down.</p>
<p>Have you heard of any similar stories lately?</p>
<p>This happens all the time, in every size company.  One day you <br />
think you&#8217;re safe.  The next day somebody else makes a decision <br />
that you aren&#8217;t needed and boom &#8211; you&#8217;re out on the street.</p>
<p>And there&#8217;s the rub.  I mean, you were good at your job.  You <br />
did what you were told.  You followed directions.  And still, <br />
here you are on the street.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s got to be a better way.  </p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to tell you about it today.</p>
<p>The problem with a &#8220;job&#8221; is that it seems secure.  You show up, <br />
do what is asked of you, and every two weeks you get paid.  </p>
<p>That seems like a good deal.</p>
<p>Money in the bank, every two weeks.  Life is good.</p>
<p>Until the axe comes down when you were least expecting it.  <br />
And now your only source of income is gone, dried up, and <br />
you&#8217;re scrambling.</p>
<p>No longer is this quite the good deal.  In fact, it&#8217; s a pretty <br />
rotten deal.</p>
<p>If you really look at it with a keen eye, having a job is the way <br />
to put yourself at the most risk possible.  </p>
<p>Think about this objectively.  If you have a single employer, and <br />
they fire you, you&#8217;re out of 100% of your income.</p>
<p>On the other hand, if you have 10 customers and one of them fire <br />
you, you&#8217;re only out a portion of your entire income.  You&#8217;re <br />
still putting money in the bank, instead of scrambling.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong.</p>
<p>Thinking this way takes a big leap.  You have to evolve.  <br />
And thinking this way is not always easy.  </p>
<p>To reach the pinnacles of success and ensure the security that <br />
you desire, you have to think in terms of multiple streams of <br />
income.  You have to empower yourself to attract these streams <br />
of income. </p>
<p>One way to do this is to learn to do what I do for a living.  <br />
Build Money Generating Websites.</p>
<p>You can build websites that make money for you, and websites <br />
that make money for your customers.   And if you build enough <br />
of these, you won&#8217;t have to work for anyone ever again.</p>
<p>In fact, that&#8217;s exactly how I removed myself permanently from the <br />
employment world in November 2007, the first day of the great <br />
recession.   I took the skills that I&#8217;m about to show you, and <br />
built website after website for happy customers around the world.</p>
<p>And now I want to show you how you can do the same.</p>
<p>A few months ago, I teamed up with my friend Ed Baran and we walked <br />
some newbies through the step by step process of building Money <br />
Generating Websites, just like we do.  And it was a joy to see <br />
people who have never touched a line of code in their life build <br />
a website from scratch.</p>
<p>No special software or anything.  Just some easy, follow along <br />
paint-by-numbers instruction and these newbies are now running <br />
their own websites just like a pro.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how you can too:</p>
<p>http://eddieandwally.com/</p>
<p>Reach for the top,<br />
-Wally</p>
<p>P.S. &#8212; Over the next few weeks I&#8217;m going to be showing you other <br />
valuable skills that you can take straight to the bank.  Stay tuned <br />
for some big announcements coming up really soon.  </p>
<p>http://eddieandwally.com/</p>
<p>P.P.S. &#8212;   The best security is to develop your own skills into <br />
multiple streams of income, so that you never have somebody else <br />
controlling your single source of income.  <br />
This will take you to new heights: </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did a short bit of sprint training in the backyard yesterday. </p>
<p>Took advantage of the &#8220;warmer&#8221; weather and spongy turf<br />
to finally get that first outdoor workout into the books. </p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know if it was the fresh air, the extra daylight or using<br />
wiffleballs as cones,.. but it sure felt good to get outside.<br />
Was fun too. </p>
<p>Tonight, the plan is some linebacker fitness. No, I won&#8217;t be beating<br />
the snot out of anybody (though that would be fun).<br />
But hopefully the rain holds off &#8211; otherwise the garage will suit just fine. </p>
<p>That&#8217;s one of the great things about Linebacker Fitness, you can<br />
do it indoors or out, as a warmup or on it&#8217;s own as a full workout.<br />
And it travels well too, since the only piece of equipment you need<br />
can pack smaller than half a pair of shoes. </p>

any age limit either. Some grandpa’s and grandma’s do it too, and they<br />
look years younger than the really are. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Been seeing a lot of chatter lately about weight loss. Maybe it&#8217;s because March tends to be the month people nudge (or flat out dump) their New Year&#8217;s resolutions into the trash. </p>
<p>Personally, I don&#8217;t bother with New Year&#8217;s resolutions. </p>
<p>I&#8217;d rather make (and meet) goals throughout the year as needed  and not get tied up into thinking you have to wait til December 31st to set any Big goals. </p>
<p>Besides, I think people use New Year&#8217;s to complicate things too much. </p>
<p>When it&#8217;s much simpler to sit back and think about what you want to accomplish. What it&#8217;ll take to get there. And how good it&#8217;ll feel wehn you meet your goal and you have a bunch of momentum to carry towards another goal.</p>
<p>Yeah, I know it&#8217;s March already. </p>
<p>But it&#8217;s Only March &#8211; month 3 out of 12 &#8211; there&#8217;s still plenty of 2011 left. </p>
<p>And if weightloss happens to be one of your goals &#8211; there&#8217;s still  plenty of time to meet your goal before summer gets here. </p>
<p>Walt Disney once said, &#8220;The best way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing&#8221;.</p>
<p>And if you want something to begin doing, to help you reach you weight loss goals, I recommend Matt Furey&#8217;s course &#8211;<br />
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.andymoose.com/effortlesschange">Effortless Change: Weight Loss Without Will Power</a>. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s not walking, running, or swimming. Instead, it&#8217;s a series of Internal Power exercises he&#8217;s learned over the years while studying Chinese martial arts and healing methods. </p>
<p>You can learn more about it here: <br />
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.andymoose.com/effortlesschange">http://www.andymoose.com/effortlesschange</a> </p>
<p>Moving Forward, <br />
Andy Moose</p>
<p>p.s. If you do grab a copy of Matt&#8217;s course, I&#8217;ll get a commission.  How&#8217;s that for honesty? </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Saw a headline this morning about &#8211; staying competitive <br />
in spite of online price transparency &#8211; or something stupid <br />
like that. </p>
<p>And my first thought was why the f are you even competing <br />
on price in the first place? </p>
<p>Someone&#8217;s ALWAYS going to be or become the lowest price&#8230; <br />
until they eventually go broke (or quit).</p>
<p>Live by lowest price, Die by lowest price. </p>
<p>Do I price shop? Sure I do. Why wouldn&#8217;t I?</p>
<p>Esepcially if I see the same things &#8220;side by side&#8221; and the <br />
only obvious difference is the price. </p>
<p>You do the same thing, don&#8217;t you? </p>
<p>I thought so. </p>
<p>But, </p>
<p>I&#8217;m also willing to pay more, when more (or even the <br />
perception of) more is offered to me. </p>
<p>Anyways, my point is let everyone else compete on price <br />
and struggle to make a profit while you play a different <br />
card and reap the rewards. </p>
<p>&#8220;But they&#8217;re selling the same thing as me?&#8221;</p>
<p>So?</p>
<p>You can package it differently to make it an apples to <br />
oranges comparison. </p>
<p>You can make it hard to price shop what you&#8217;re selling&#8230; <br />
because you&#8217;re the only one offering it up ike you are. </p>
<p>For example: </p>
<p>Mulletts &#8216;R&#8217; Us, down the street charges $10 for a haircut <br />
and you do too. </p>
<p>But&#8230;</p>
<p>You ALSO offer (and make it your focal point of promotions) <br />
to offer a VIP-Members club for $60 a month and those <br />
members can come in as often as they like, get VIP scheduling <br />
with their choice of barbers,  their own waiting room&#8230;. etc&#8230; <br />
see what i mean, no comparison.</p>
<p>And bigger profits for not much more effort on your part. </p>
<p>Think about it. </p>
<p>-Andy Moose</p>
<p>p.s. No, I haven&#8217;t tried this out myself, (how&#8217;s that for honesty) <br />
but I&#8217;ve heard and read a couple successful biz-men talk about <br />
how they&#8217;ve used this kind of thinking in their own biz. <br />
The first that comes to mind is Dan Kennedy and he talks <br />
about this kind of thinking in his book:  <br />
&#8220;No B.S. Wealth Attraction for Entrepreneurs&#8221;. </p>
<p>Check it out at Amazon.com </p>
<p>by the way, that&#8217;s a direct link to amazon, it is NOT an <br />
affiliate link. I was going to sign up for their affiliate <br />
program but their terms of service was too dang long. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Several years ago my daughter and I were leaving Lord&#8217;s Tobacco and since my truck doors were still a bit much for her to open and close by herself, she would get in on the driver side and walk/crawl over the center console to her seat. </p>
<p>Usually worked fine. In fact I&#8217;m the one who encouraged it in the first place&#8230;</p>
<p>But we both forgot about the cup of coffee I&#8217;d picked up at Lord&#8217;s and her little foot sent the coffee flying out onto the floorboards&#8230; </p>
<p>Don&#8217;t worry, she was okay. No in-flight diversions or tripping of the anti-hijack systems like the airline pilot did with his coffee a few days ago.  </p>
<p>And besides, my truck smelled like a good cup of coffee for about a week. </p>
<p>These days, my daughter gets in on the passenger side. And even though she doesn&#8217;t drink coffee &#8211; I certainly do &#8211; and we both love the smell of the Remedio Cubano blend that I get from my friend&#8217;s company, <a title="Torcedor Coffee" href="http://www.TorcedorCoffee.com">Torcedor Coffee</a>.  </p>
<p>There&#8217;s a cool story behind how and why Rob started this company. You can read about it at <a title="Torcedor Coffee" href="http://www.TorcedorCoffee.com">http://www.TorcedorCoffee.com</a></p>
<p>adios, <br />
Andy Moose</p>
