Ya, Just when you are thinking that you can't take much more, the earth and the planets are shifting gears, TODAY!! For your sake I hope you are catching a breather, because Holy S#!* hasn't it been wild??!! And yup, you had better prepare yourself for more. . . we are being polished so intensely that we have no choice but to both grow and surrender, or continue to suffer. Allow the larger forces of the cosmos to bring to your attention what you need to shift and then do it, with love and compassion. I know it's hard sweet ones but it's worth it. Find support with others. Today is a New Moon, Uranus in shifting into Taurus, and earth, well she is sitting quietly but with rapt attention to her heartbeat. So, shhhhh, today is a deeply internal day. Even if you are working or running around in the world, please hit the stillness button at some point, go within and see what you see through the eyes of your witness. Just be. Pay close attention to any information you may receive around your physical body and listen to your abundance meter, and then ask your heart what steps you need to make. We have been hit with literal waves of energy over the past weeks and honestly, years, that have been giving you the opportunity to better understand your true nature and how you will best express that in the world. This week begins the opportunity to give birth to all that or manifest all that into the world, that is if you haven't already. So as your move forward brining your light into a more tangible form, this week as the earth and planets shift, is a great time for a mind/body/spirit "inventory" so to speak, heavy focus on anything physical that still needs your attention. You will be drawn more into your physical body, or towards the earth, almost like gravity has increased and is pulling you in, and you will have the opportunity to see, whether you like it or not, how that magnificent body of yours could be suffering and needs your love and attention. What are the cosmic roots of any issue you might be having? Listen and you will learn. Act and you will shift! You may even see a spike around you, if you haven't already, with "health issues" or "wake up calls." So spend the week in this way, listening and loving yourself, taking note and making plans for personal changes. Towards the end of the week the earth begins to come out from witnessing her heart and sending out ripples of information about what she too needs so, as a microcosmic reflection of the earth, you too will receive more and more information about yourself as the week progresses. For those offering healing work, this is a time to really notice what you need to do and how you need to nourish yourself so that you can continue to hang in there for those that need you. You will be grateful for any changes you make that allow your energy to soar even more. I look forward to tuning in again next week. Aho Mitakuye Oyasin ~ Love to all my relations.

Austrian-British philosopher who applied modern logic to metaphysics, working in the philosophy of mathematics, of mind, and of language. He wrote the highly regarded Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, his only book-length work on philosophy.

There is no one central problem in philosophy, but countless little problems. Philosophy is like trying to open a safe with a combination lock: each little adjustment of the dials seems to achieve nothing, only when everything is in place does the door open.
From conversation with Rush Rhees (1930) as given by Rush Rhees in Ludwig Wittgenstein: Personal Recollections (1981), 96.
We feel that even if all possible scientific questions be answered, the problems of life have still not been touched at all. Of course there is then no question left, and just this is the answer.
From the German, "Wir fühlen, dass selbst, wenn alle möglichen wissenschaftlichen Fragen beantwortet sind, unsere Lebensprobleme noch gar nicht berührt sind. Freilich bleibt dann eben keine Frage mehr; und eben dies ist die Antwort," in Logisch-Philosophische Abhandlung (1921). German text with English translation in Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (1922), 186-187.
What a curious attitude scientists have: 'We still don't know that; but it is knowable and it is only a matter of time before we get to know it!' As if that went without saying.

The gigantic Leviathan is the pinnacle of Dhilani warfare. With almost four miles from bow to stern this titan is the most powerful ship ever built within the Dhilani Armada. Leviathans are the command ships leading massive Dhilani battle groups with several carriers, troop ships and destroyers accompanying them.
Apart from its immense firepower the Leviathan is equipped with advanced shielding technology, which allows the ship to partially absorb some of the energy output sustained from enemy fire and transform it to add to its own power supply. Faced with an inferior enemy force this results in the Leviathan becoming increasingly stronger through the length of a battle.
This technology, although highly effective against defensive enemy fire, becomes more of a risk the more powerful an enemy is and the more energy the shields have to absorb at a time. Faced with high energy weaponry like fusion cannons, the transformators will eventually fail in their task and overload, leaving the ship exposed and vulnerable.
The Leviathan's design has gone through several revisions.
It's original name was Hammershark due to the slighty arched hammer-shaped bow section which vagually reminded of a Hammerhead shark.

Q: URLs breaking in WildFly on static served web content I was given a weird requirement of hosting small campaign websites with 5-6 pages written in Angular and some APIs these websites can interact with. Everything coming from a WildFly instance.

However if I click any of the links inside the landing/index page within these apps, I get 404 - Not Found.
Ex: https://myhost.mydomain.com/app1 -> Gives the landing/index page.
Any link I click within that page, for instance, if there is 'faqs' and the URL is https://myhost.mydomain.com/app1/faqs, it resolves fine to that path but I am getting 404 - Not found.
Looking for a way to make this work.

As I sit here, I am drifting on what I am willing to share. In the background, the audio of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s, "I Have Been to the Mountain Top" speech is filling the area surrounding my present dwelling. I have no perceived direction. I am consciously floating in discovery.
My mind sails off to a vision in my subconscious. Subconsciously, I am standing in a room full of people, yet I am unseen. Presently in my subconscious, Dr. King's speech audio continues to play in the setting. The audio plays like a soundtrack to be heard when watching a movie. I am perplexed. Am I the only one capable of hearing the audio? And why am I unseen?
The thought consciously strikes me. Maybe you are invisible. It may be those around you can neither hear nor see. Suddenly, I am revisited with a moment of destiny. I cannot gauge what those around me can hear or see. Consciously and subconsciously, what I hear and see is for me.
Yes, it is pleasantly divine. The sharing of understanding with a friend, my mind.

Palin: Obama and 'lapdog spokesmen' are liars on pipeline, energy
Palin: Obama and 'lapdog spokesmen' are liars on pipeline, energy
August 1, 2013 | Tom Tillison | Print Article
Photo Credit ABCNews.go.com
In a commentary titled "Energy Liar," former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was quick to respond to inaccurate claims made by President Obama on the number of jobs the Keystone XL pipeline is expected to create.
In a hitting hard piece, Palin wrote: "President Obama's claim that the Keystone pipeline would create 'maybe 2,000 jobs' during its construction is such a blatant lie that even his friends at PolitiFact were forced to rate it false."
Obama minimized the pipeline's effect on jobs Tuesday, saying it was a "blip relative to the need." In saying their was "no evidence" that it would be a big jobs generator, Obama stated:
"…the most realistic estimates are this might create maybe 2,000 jobs during the construction of the pipeline – which might take a year or two – and then after that we're talking about somewhere between 50 and 100 (chuckles) jobs in an economy of 150 million working people. … That is a blip relative to the need."
The project's developer estimated the pipeline could create as many as 13,000 construction jobs – 6,500 a year over two years, and the State Department has put the number at 3,900 on an annual basis.
In drawing comparisons between the Keystone XL pipeline, which would carry oil from Canada to refineries on the Texas Gulf coast, and the Alaska pipeline project, Palin said to deny the benefits "is just ludicrous."
"To deny the multiple benefits involved in building the Keystone pipeline – from job creation to securing a reliable source of energy from an environmentally responsible country like Canada – is just ludicrous, Palin said.
Palin's commentary in it's entirety:
LIAR ON ENERGY
President Obama's claim that the Keystone pipeline would create "maybe 2,000 jobs" during its construction is such a blatant lie that even his friends at Politifact were forced to rate it false.
The Alaska pipeline is a good example of the boom created by construction of a pipeline – a job boom that continues to this day with thousands of workers on the North Slope. During its construction and pre-construction phase, the Alyeska pipeline project employed some 70,000 workers from 1969 through 1977. During its peak, that pipeline provided 17% of the U.S. domestic supply of energy – that's billions of barrels of oil.
To deny the multiple benefits involved in building the Keystone pipeline – from job creation to securing a reliable source of energy from an environmentally responsible country like Canada – is just ludicrous. It's more of what we've come to expect from the Obama administration and his lapdog spokesmen.
– Sarah Palin

Adenomera andreae (common name: lowland tropical bullfrog) is a species of frogs in the family Leptodactylidae.

It is found in the lowlands of northern South America east of the Andes (Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela). As currently defined, it probably represents a cryptic species complex, comprising perhaps four species.

Description
Adenomera andreae are small frogs, usually less than  in adult body length. Dorsum is grayish brown to beige, occasionally with dark brown spots, and rarely with a vertebral dark brown stripe and/or dorsolateral orangish yellow stripe. The ventral surfaces are white. Iris is chestnut.

Eggs are laid in foam nests on the ground. Tadpoles are terrestrial: they are endotrophic and develop in the nest. Recruitment of juveniles is synchronized with rainfall.

Its predators include large tarantulas.

Habitat
Its natural habitats are tropical moist lowland forests, but it can also be found in open environments such as grasslands surrounded by forest habitats. It is threatened by habitat loss from clear cutting.

THE BEST SELECTION OF NEW ZEALAND HUNTING BOOKS IN THE WORLD!
Hunters in New Zealand love the wild scenes and nature of the back country, the culture of the hunting community, the history of New Zealand hunting, and the adventure of hunting. Our hunting books are part of this rich heritage.
The hunting scene in New Zealand is different from most countries in that our game animals are recent introductions into habitats not used to big browsing animals. Conservation debates on whether to control or exterminate some species, and the means to be used, still rage today. New Zealand hunters in the meantime carry on happily hunting for trophies, for meat, for skins, and just to get into the great outdoors. Large areas of wild land with large numbers of game animals also led to the development of commercial meat hunting on foot, by horse, boat, plane and, since the 1960s, hunting and live capture (for farming) by helicopter. This is quite a different hunting scene from anywhere else in the world.
Our most sought after big game animals are red deer, Himalayan tahr, and chamois. Next on the list are the other deer species - fallow, whitetail, sika, wapiti (elk), samba, rusa and perhaps moose. Also hunted are wild pigs, goats, and cattle, plus red-necked wallaby, hare, rabbit and even Australian brushtail possums. There are plenty of gamebirds: Canada geese, mallards and a range of other ducks, chukor, pheasant and Californian quail. Over 25% of New Zealand is public conservation land where there is no-fee hunting. There is plenty of room for New Zealand hunters and visitors from overseas.
Fortunately, when not hunting New Zealand hunters like to read and many have written great books about their passion. Please browse through our website - there will be something in our collection that will be just right for you.


We can make make a breathing LED by various methods . The basic requirement is that we need an slow amplitude varying voltage source . That's may be a capacitor charging and discharging ramp signal of average pulse width modulated signal.
When We used arduino fading program we uses pulse width modulation technique to make breathing led.
In astable mode of 555 timer the timing capacitor charges upto 2/3 vcc and then again discharges. There is a time varying ramp signal across the capacitor We can utilize the signal for led breathing.
pin 2 is connected with the threshold pin of 555( pin no 6). that is the non inverting input of one of the internal comparators.
It works like a op-amp voltage follower. the LED brightness varies with the base current of the transistor.


At a time when middle-aged couples should be saving significant sums for their own retirement, they may find themselves caught in the middle of competing financial needs from two generations. Having started families later than past generations, their children may just now be entering college or could still be living at home, placing financial strains on the couple. At the same time, aging parents may require financial assistance. It is a problem that is likely to become more common as time goes on.
It is becoming increasingly likely that you will need to provide assistance to an aging parent. In 1900, only a small percentage of the population lived to age 65; now, approximately 70% live to that age (Source: National Institute on Aging, 1997). The National Institute on Aging estimates that the number of individuals over age 85 will increase from 3.3 million in 1994 to approximately 31.3 million in 2050.
With advanced age comes an increasing need for assistance. Of those not in nursing homes or other institutions, 9% aged 65 to 69 needed help with everyday activities, compared to 11% at ages 70 to 74, 20% at ages 75 to 79, 31% at ages 80 to 84, and 50% at ages 85 and over (Source: Census Bureau, 1997).
Investigate long-term-care insurance for your parents. If they can't afford the insurance, you may want to purchase it for them.
Have your parents prepare a complete listing of their assets, liabilities, and income sources, including the location of important documents. This can save a significant amount of time if you must take over their finances.
Make sure your parents have legal documents in place that will allow someone to take over their financial affairs if they become incapacitated. They may also want to delegate health care decisions to a third person.
If you are supporting your parents financially, make sure you understand the tax laws. Providing more that half of their support may allow you to claim them as a dependent on your tax return. Additionally, you may be able to deduct medical expenses that you pay.
Check if your employer offers a flexible spending account for elder care. This will allow you to set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for up to $5,000 of elder-care expenses for a parent who lives with you.
College costs are a significant financial cost for many families. While most people would like to pay for all college costs for their children, with competing needs to save for retirement and to assist parents, this may not be feasible. You may need to shift some of the load to your children, requiring them to work part time during college or to take out and pay back loans. There are a number of ways to reduce the cost of college. Investigate all sources of financial aid, search for scholarships that are not based on need, and apply to several different colleges. Negotiate with your child's preferred college to see if you can increase the financial aid package. Consider starting your child at a community college, which is often cheaper than a four-year college. Or consider a state public university in your state of residence, which will generally be more affordable than private universities.
Once your child has graduated from college, don't assume that your financial responsibilities are over. Many parents are finding that their adult children return home for a variety of reasons. Approximately one out of every nine individuals between the ages of 25 and 34 live in their parent's home (Source: Financial Planning April 1997). If faced with a returning child, realize that there are increased costs – additional food, phone bills, utilities, etc. It may also mean staying in a larger house than you would need if the child was not living with you. Consider charging rent and putting a deadline on how long he/she can stay.
When faced with the competing needs of children and aging parents, it is easy to neglect your own needs to save. Yet one of the best gifts you can give your children is to be free of debt and financially independent during your retirement. Handling these competing financial needs can be difficult. Call if you'd like help.

In second and subsequent generations, family governance often has a substantive impact on the stability and profitability of a family business as the family grows and the number of stakeholders expands.
1. Family vision. The family's vision sets the tone for who the family is and how they interact in the community, which in turn sets the tone for the business.
A clear vision can help the family and staff work together for greater growth and profitability. It is hard for employees to move toward a vision when the family doesn't know, or doesn't believe in, the vision.
2. Family cohesion: We can share examples of family business staff who were pressured to take sides in a family feud, and even of family boards that consistently vote 2-1 against a particular branch of the family. Other families have split their business or faced years of litigation because of family squabbles.
Aside from the financial cost of these challenges, the business has a hard time growing or making strategic acquisitions when leadership is distracted by internal battles. Defining and implementing family governance does not guarantee such things won't occur, but it creates an avenue for identifying and managing issues before they become serious — making it less likely that they will harm the business and the family's continued ownership.
3. Employee stability: No matter how large and talented the family, growing and succeeding in business will involve attracting and retaining talented non-family members. Clearly defining and implementing family governance can improve tenure and stability for these non-family employees.

He aha te mea nui o te ao? He tangata, he tangata, he tangata.
At Mount Roskill Grammar School we have a team of five Counsellors. All have post-graduate counselling qualifications, and all are members of the New Zealand Association of Counsellors. We abide by the Code of Ethics of this association, which means that confidentiality is maintained unless there is an imminent risk to safety.
Referrals are welcome from students, from staff and from family members. An appointment system is used to enable Counsellors to give our students uninterrupted sessions. Counsellors offer individual and group counselling, mediation and Restorative Justice facilitation and advocacy. They share a commitment of working towards a socially healthy and emotionally safe school.
Over 80 students attend counselling each week for a wide range of issues. Students of all academic levels, and from all ethnicities and age groups are represented. Students do not need to be "in trouble" at school!
If appropriate students can be referred free of charge for psychological support to the school psychologist who works in our team or to Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services, either the Kari Centre (at Greenlane Clinical Centre) or Whirinaki (South Auckland). Referrals can be recommended when students face chronic or severe depression, severe anxiety, panic attacks or other mental health challenges.
Itinerant Counsellors from Auckland Sexual Abuse Help and Community Alcohol and Drug Services work from our premises for students who request specialist help.
HOD Counselling – Margaret Hoogendoorn
M.Ed. (Counselling), University of Auckland, MNZAC.
I was born and bred in the Netherlands, where I completed my Teacher Training. Teaching Art in New Zealand, students often brought up personal challenges with me in the Art room. I developed a passion for "helpful talk" and decided to train as a Counsellor.
I still feel as excited and privileged to work at Mount Roskill Grammar as when I started in 1996.
This diverse, colourful community has so much heart. The school's overarching values of manaakitanga and whanaungatanga match my passion for restorative justice facilitation and for facilitating proactive groups to create connectedness and belonging.
I run the Peer Sexuality Support Programme and the school's Diversity group with a large group of outstanding student leaders.
Donna Hourigan-Johnston, MA (Counselling), University of Auckland; MNZAC
I have lived in the Mount Roskill community for over 30 years, and our children have both attended Mt Roskill Grammar. After working as a Family Therapist for 16 years, I became a School Counsellor at MRGS in 2001.
I love working alongside our young people and I am deeply committed to their social and emotional wellbeing. I believe as a community we are all responsible for the care of our children.
I am the Coordinator of the Peer Mediation and Mentorship service, and I work in collaboration with the Peace Foundation. We have over 200 trained Mediators at the school who act as 'Ambassadors of Social Justice'. These inspirational young people speak up for the important values of peace, kindness, respect and equality for all.
Mary Mendez MA (Counselling), University of Auckland; MNZAC
I moved to New Zealand 10 years ago and fell in love with this beautiful country. I am Greek- Australian and married to an Indian with two beautiful children. Being part of a multicultural family living in New Zealand has allowed me to experience, appreciate and learn about the different ways in which various cultures work and their values. Incorporating and recognising this in a counselling space for every student is a very big part of my counselling ethos. Over the next few years I hope to work on my Te Reo skills adding another dimension to my understanding and appreciation of how different cultures work.
After completing my Masters in Counselling, I have worked in a range of counselling settings including Youthline. I am deeply passionate about working alongside and helping our youth feel understood, supporting them to be their best self.
I work in a client centred way incorporating various forms of therapy such as sand tray, two chair work, CBT and DBT and tailor my counselling approach the student's needs and interests. Using the different strategies from various counselling models and tailoring them to the student and focusing on their strengths helping to build their resilience and coping skills.
I love seeing students grow and come into their own. Walking alongside them for part of their journey to help them through personal growth or to overcome adversity while also discovering their strengths and fostering new connections, is what I love about my job. I feel so incredibly privileged to be part of such a wonderful and diverse community at Mount Roskill Grammar School.
Rose Jenkin BSc (Hons), Dip Couns University of Auckland, MNZAC
Removing stigma around mental health is a particular passion of mine, and I have been very excited to work with year 12 and 13 student leaders who have a similar focus. The power of peer to peer messages is strong, and our "Live for Tomorrow…" events are so much more effective than my own voice could ever be.
I feel it is a great privilege and joy to accompany our wonderful students as they find ways to manage difficulties and celebrate their successes.
Learning about what is meaningful to our students and hearing how they express themselves authentically reminds me that I am on sacred ground.
Michelle Parkinson M.Ed Couns, University of Auckland, MNZAC
I come from a background of teaching English and transitioned to counselling around 10 years ago. I love working with teenagers and in the school environment. I feel so privileged to be allowed to listen and work with students as they navigate life as an adolescent. There's a lot to cope with as a teenager and having someone who can listen in a warm, non-judgemental way, and offer another perspective, can be very helpful.
I work in a client centered way and incorporate Sand Tray therapy when a student is interested. I incorporate skills and strategies such as mindfulness and challenging negative thinking to build resilience and enable coping. I love to lead Travellers groups with year 9 students, teaching life skills, and fostering connections. The Body Image Leaders meet with me once a week and we co-construct ways to promote body acceptance and self love.
It is a pleasure to work at MRGS in this diverse community. One of my goals for the next few years is to develop my Te Reo skills. I always enjoy learning about other cultures, religions, and world views. I love to build students up, to help them find their strengths, and to develop hopes and dreams for the future.
Tara English BPhEd, M Counselling, MNZAC
The mental and emotional wellbeing of our young people has always been important to me as well as social justice. I see my role to support our rangatahi, to walk with them, helping them navigate their way through this often confusing time. Within my values of social justice I will also very strongly advocate for any rangatahi, ensuring they are supported to achieve to be their best.
I have always enjoyed working with teenagers, coming from a background of teaching Health and Physical Education, then making the transition to becoming a counsellor. I have a family with 3 children and a few four legged pets as well.
I feel very privileged to be working at MRGS as it is a school that mirrors many of my values. These are values of accepting diversity, working in a restorative manner to repair harm as it happens, and having a real desire to work with rangatahi holistically.
For students: please drop in at the start of the day to make an appointment with a Counsellor of your choice, or private message us on Facebook/mrgs counselling

Pro-active work

We run the Peer Sexuality Support Programme, Peer Mediation, "Live4tomorrow…", Body Image Leaders and Shakti Youth Network for Change.
The counselling department runs a range of proactive group programs including Drumbeat. DRUMBEAT is a flexible programme that combines experiential learning with cognitive behavioural therapy, and engages young people who would benefit from extra support.

The Public Philosopher: The Global Philosopher: Should Borders Matter?. Michael Sandel explores the philosophical justifications made for national borders. Using a pioneering state-of-the-art studio at the Harvard Business School, Professor Sandel is joined by 60 participants from over 30 countries in a truly global digital space. Is there any moral distinction between a political refugee and an economic migrant? If people have the right to exit a country, why not a right to enter? Do nations have the right to protect the affluence of their citizens? And is there such a thing as a 'national identity'? These are just some of the questions addressed by Professor Sandel in this first edition of The Global Philosopher.

The Ezra Klein Show: Elizabeth Kolbert: We have locked in centuries of climate change. Elizabeth Kolbert covers climate change for the New Yorker. She's the Pulitzer prize-winning author of The Sixth Extinction. And she recently wrote a paragraph I can't stop thinking about. "The problem with global warming—and the reason it continues to resist illustration, even as the streets flood and the forests die and the mussels rot on the shores—is that experience is an inadequate guide to what's going on. The climate operates on a time delay. When carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere, it takes decades—in a technical sense, millennia—for the earth to equilibrate. This summer's fish kill was a product of warming that had become inevitable twenty or thirty years ago, and the warming that's being locked in today won't be fully felt until today's toddlers reach middle age. In effect, we are living in the climate of the past, but already we've determined the climate's future."Kolbert lives, to an unusual degree, in the planet's future. She travels to the places around the world where the climate of tomorrow is visible today. She has watched glaciers melting, and seen species dying. And she is able to convey both the science and the cost with a rare lucidity. Talking with Kolbert left me with an unnerving thought. We look back on past eras in human history and judge them morally failed. We think of the Spanish Inquisition or the Mongol hordes and believe ourselves civilized, rational, moral in a way our ancestors weren't. But if the science is right, and we do unto our descendants what the data says we are doing to them, we will be judged monsters. And it will be all the worse because we knew what we were doing and we knew how to stop, but we decided it was easier to disbelieve the science or ignore the consequences. Kolbert and I talk about the consequences, but also about what would be necessary to stabilize the climate and back off the mass extinction event that is currently underway. We discuss geoengineering, political will, the environmental cost of meat, and what individuals can and can't do. We talk about Trump's cabinet, about whether technological innovation will save us, and if pricing carbon is enough. We talk about whether hope remains a realistic emotion when it comes to our environmental future.Books:-Edward Abbe's "Desert Solitaire"-Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring"-David G.

Personal branding communication and being social on social media Wait What Really OK Podcast Episode 91 hosted by Branding Strategist talks about how social media is heading back to social as well as the changes that need to be made to keep your content connected. As the algorithms on Facebook and other websites are changing, a key theme of social media and online content going more social is coming into play. From the visibility of online content to the trigger words and phrases that push content down, the share is much better than the sell. Those that look at social media and online promotion with more of a social engagement aspect are going to do beter as we head in to third quarter of 2018. The personal branding communication in the delivery of content needs to be rooted in authentic authority. Instead of complaining, moving away from the spamming and work off of a foundation that will keep your posts and content elevated to have more opportunity for more eyes to be on it.

Rank #2: Lead generation methods that end up generating negative results.. Lead generation methods that end up generating negative results Wait What Really OK Podcast Episode 90 hosted by Branding Strategist talks about the lead generation methods that are full of hype, hoopla and hustle that tend to result in little to no conversion whatsoever. There are way too many motivational coaches that claim they can lead you to the best sales, marketing and education when it comes down to their lead generation methods. The only problem is their how to sell methods are that they might not apply to you and in many cases can make you come off like you are spamming. It is more than your presentation skills or applying google adsense and Google adwords. It can not just be about the sell to make money online. All these hype coaching videos are claiming to give you the best success and show you how to get sales with cheesy sales videos that will result in tons of business leads. The part they leave out though? What about what you are selling? What about the consideration of other people that are selling too? What about how to engage to showcase your authority, highlight your authenticity and amplify your message to draw people in. Only pushing the pressure sell and the over spamming message that many lead generation methods to you to do will often times leave you with nothing but annoying and getting blocked by a number of leads.
