News and Notes: An Interesting Week

We had an incident this past week. A person filed a complaint with the BBB. In truth I was distressed to see the complaint. Then I read it. I actually called the person who filed the complaint to see if I could address any of his concerns. No, I didn’t call to sell him anything. I called to see if I could address any of his concerns, answer any questions he may have. Perhaps help him in is business.

Much to my surprise (not really) he wasn’t interested in having his concerns addressed, his supposed questions answered. He certainly was not interested in promoting his business.

I was disgusted when I got off the phone with him. Disgusted, but not surprised. Most folks that complain about other people who are working, and making a good living, are their own worst enemy. They refuse to get out of their own way; the result is a resounding failure in any venture they attempt. Many times both professional and personal.

We’ve all met them, know some of them personally. The: it’s always the other guy’s fault, or this happened so I couldn’t, or he/she did this so I couldn’t. They spend their entire lives hopping around: the couldn’t button.

When in truth, it’s not a couldn’t button at all; it’s a wouldn’t button. Understand the difference? What a person can do and what they will do is often two very different things.

This is usually accompanied by an extremely negative mindset.

In truth there is nothing you can do to change a person’s mindset. That is their responsibility. It boils down to their life choices. Yes I know the first impulse is “Oh but I can help them, they need help, let me help them” Don’t go there. You can not help them when they refuse to help themselves.

You can hand someone a glass of fresh cool water, but if they refuse to drink it it’s their choice. You may have an entire reservoir of clean fresh cool water, and they will still die of thirst if they refuse to drink.

You can not change their minds, the only person that can do that is the person in question.

Yes I used to try to help them anyway, try to change their minds. No, I do not do that anymore. Jim Rohn has a wonderful response to this type of person. “Isn’t that interesting.” And he goes on his way.

Move on, work with the people that want to work. Don’t waste your valuable time on those that do not. We all know them, an excuse for everything and everything is an excuse. “Isn’t that interesting” and move on.

I don’t need to run after people to have them work with me, and neither do you. My time is valuable, and so is yours. Yes that’s what I said your time is valuable.

As I was working this week I did think about the “complaint”. I know the enterprise I was referring to is excellent. That the training offered is extremely useful, to any business person. I’ve used many of the skills I’ve developed as a result of this training in my Ranch, Kennel business, and a variety of affiliate marketing projects.

Actually this complaint resulted in: me reviewing the training I’ve received, the skills I’ve developed, the progress I’ve made in my business endeavors since taking advantage of the training offered.

Curious as to what the complaint was? The person complaining was not happy with the following question:

If I could honestly show a real way to put $10,000 or more in the bank within the next 30-45 days, would that be worth a few minutes of your time today?

I suppose it is a challenge for some people to comprehend making $10,000 a month. Yes it’s realistic. Seriously working with the system $10,000 a week is realistic. Did I make $10,000 a week last month?

No I didn’t, but then I haven’t been seriously working with it either. My focus over the past few months has been on a dog rescue project. I’ve even put most of my kennel presentations on hold because my focus has been on the dog rescue project. (I soooo need to take photographs of my beautiful Pomeranians and get them uploaded!)

Here’s the kicker, as a result of the valuable training I’ve received, note I said the training I received. Not system sales, just the training I’ve utilized. I had a $16,000 or $17,000 month this month. This month being November 2007. No I don’t know exactly how much came in, I haven’t closed out my books for the month yet. Am I going to show you some paypal statements or bank statements. Or photograph some pile of cash on an express mail envelope. No I am not.

Showing those statements proves absolutely nothing. Except, that you can take a photo of a statement. Or can handle a graphics program, or have signed up for someone’s sales page that has already put the graphics together. In short, no I am not showing statements. It’s tacky and I’m not doing it.

Can you make $10,000 a month working from home? Yes you can.

Can you make $10,000 a week working from home? Yes you can.

Will you make $10,000 a month? Ok-here’s the answer. I have absolutely no Idea. You tell me. Are you willing to do the work. Will you follow through. Will you make $10,000 a month, or $10,000 a week? Only you have that answer.

What’s it going to be? The ball is in your court.

News and Notes: Bright Autumn Morning

Beautiful morning to ya all... yes I know it's not morning in all your neighborhoods. However it is morning here on the high Wyoming Plains. There is still a slight haze but not much. Amazingly the smokey haze from the California fires reached even to here... over the Rocky Mountains!

My thoughts and prayers go out for those folks living in the fire ravaged regions.

We had a few days of strong wind that dispersed the haze. Yesterday and today are just light breezes and bright sunshine. Makes for a wonderful crisp morning. Hopefully it stays pretty calm throughout the day. I (and for a while my husband ...before he gets called to the railroad) am strawing the dog runs today. Since the rescue group came in there are over 50 runs to be strawed.

Strawed means, putting bales of straw in the pens and houses for winter bedding. There is more to winterizing the kennel than strawing the pens but that is a blog post for The Arfing News... to be written later.

There are fresh photos on their way over the next day or two to the Robbins Run Ranch Blog as well as my main site Robbins Run Ranch: Living the Dream with our Pomeranians.

I am in the process of adding a business portfolio page to my main site as well... There are some very exciting things coming up.

Winterizing the kennel has to come first. It's a race with the weather. It's also a phenomenal workout. whoo hoo... I do believe I'll be ready to walk that half marathon this spring. Seriously it would be great to have some walking partners for that event. It's in between Cheyenne and Laramie Wyoming. Up in the mountains. Beautiful country, stay on the trail though, no point in putting yourself at risk as cougar food. Yes I'm doing it anyway, we have cougar in our neighborhood as well.

Through my busy life a big part of what keeps me going are my vitamins and minerals.

News and Notes: Early Autumn Morning..

This morning started before the crack of dawn. 4:00 a.m. and my body clock went off. Up and at it. (coffee anyone?)

Wow, can you believe it?! It’s already the end of October. Happy Halloween. I hope this wonderful Autumn season is going great for you… (or spring season for those of you in the southern hemisphere)
Autumn is my favorite season. After the first couple of frosts the bugs are pretty much gone. Well not altogether but it’s nice out in the evenings without any of the little buggers biting me.

Life on the high plains has been crazy busy as usual, with a few twists added in. We just had an influx of over 40 rescue dogs. No they are not available for adoption at this point. We are still cleaning the poor little dogs up. Nasty case of fleas there. We are winning that battle though. Good by fleas.

Sorry I haven’t kept up with the newsletters. Between taking care of my kennels, working with the rescues, getting the Pomeranians ready for winter. (Want to come haul straw anyone…lol…) I’ve been running pretty short of time, not to mention energy.

We have some absolutely beautiful pom puppies too… wow… they are simply a pleasure to look at.

Been working on some remodeling on our main site too. I soooo need to take some puppy photos. Yes I'm working on it.

My kennel workout is working on the weight loss front. I’ve lost another 3 pounds!


Yay! That makes 21 pounds down so far. I have been making use of the Forte Diet from New Vision as well. Tastes pretty good, and makes a quick meal. Frankly unless my husband is home I am not taking the time to cook.

With that said it’s important to keep my nutritional levels where they need to be to keep up with my busy life. I am very pleased with the results I’m getting. Good energy levels, not feeling so tired and drug out. Actually feeling good.


Check it out… If I can lose weight using this so can you!


It's pretty exciting to me watching the pounds roll off. Feeling good while losing weight is a much appreciated added bonus!

For those of you with business on your minds. This is an excellent business opportunity! Take a look, it can add an additional stream of income to your business portfolio. Or if you are just starting in the home business arena it is an excellent opportunity to launch yourself into financial freedom!

The day is flying by...and I've gotta run... Have a wonderful day...

By the way there are some excellent tools on my Traffic Generation Blog...

A System That Keeps on Selling...

In the mid-1980's one of Honda's best ad campaigns was,

"Honda: The car that sells itself"

In fact, one reason it was so successful is because it
was so true. And the same can be said of Leisure Audio Books
(LAB).

http://6204.leisureaudiosales.com/

LAB offers its customers the kind of quality, selection,
price and service that will keep them coming back again
and again.

QUALITY
No matter which format is chosen, the quality of the LAB
downloads is the highest level available in this day and age.
Crisp, clear streaming sounds without background noise, or under-hum,
which is 100%-guaranteed for 30 days with each purchase.

And the breadth of the selection includes the work of
such best-selling authors as:

-- Stephen King
-- Michael Crichton
-- Tom Clancy
-- Anne Rice

And many, many more!

SELECTION
The selection includes over 6,900 titles, both old and new, in
over 13 major categories, as well as over 160 sub-categories
that easily narrow the search. These include:

-- Fiction
-- TV & Film
-- Biography
-- Health & Recreation
-- Business
-- Religion & Spiritual
-- Self Help
-- Juvenile
-- Foreign Languages

And to make the search even easier, there is both a basic
search bar, plus an advanced multi-level search page, which offers such unique options as searching by price range, running time and narrator, as well as Title and Author.

News and Notes: Exciting Times on the High Plains

Good Morning, afternoon, evening, whichever it may be in your corner of the world.

Lots of fun stuff happening at our Home on the Range. The happy hairballs are doing great. Beautiful Puppies out playing in the yards. It is such a pleasure to watch them jump run and tumble with each other...lol... I am determined! I will be taking photos over the next week and updating my main site. RobbinsRunRanch: Living the Dream. I've been working on some pretty nifty projects for that site. Some raffles, and drawings and other fun things. Not done yet but in the works.

My training program is going well, dropped some more weight, and some more inches. I have to admit that always makes me smile. I had a little bobble, as in a bounce in weight. However, I've lost that and some more besides. Yay! I've been recording my progress and such on my Fitness Fest Blog. All are welcome. I am looking for some walking partners. Being in the same location is not a requirement. We can communicate over yahoo messenger, phone, or the blogs. My yahoo messenger id is robbinsrun, when you request to be added to my contact list give me a bit of an introduction so I have a clue what's it's about.

Another exciting note. Leisure audio books is really popping. To say I'm pleased with the results of this business would be a major understatement.

You know, We all love our favorite authors... but WHO has time to read
a book anymore?

News and Notes: Start of the Busiest Season

Hi all,

So Who's ready for football season? Whoo Hoo! Or whatever your favorite Autumn sport may be. All the kids are heading back to school, friday night football games, marching bands and so on. In the northern hemisphere, Autumn is on it's way. It actually feels like an autumn morning here today. At present it's 61 degrees. Major change from the 110 to 115 we've been having in our little hollow on the high plains. In truth Autumn is my favorite season. Crisp mornings, warm days, wood smoke in the air. Just a whiff, we're not talking about forest fires here.

I'm in the process of getting my kennel ready for winter. So it's crazy busy as usual. Beautiful Pomeranians, but then you know I would think so...lol... Autumn is the prime business season for both the kennels and online marketing.

I am already seeing a rapid increase in business.

I do have a couple of tasty tibits for you this week. Enjoy... have a wonderful week.

Here is the first tasty tibit:

News and Notes: Increase your site traffic and enjoy a good listen.




Hi all,
Summer is racing on at warp speed at our little home on the range; and as usual I've been crazy busy. Happily it's only 98 degrees here at present.

RobbinsRunRanch: Living the Dream With Our Pomeranians

Just a quick note... I'm crazy busy. With my Pomeranians, and Leisure Audio Books. Exciting times on our little ranch out here in Wild Wonderful Wyoming.

I made a really cool new banner for my main site. I think I'm going to put it out there as a splash page as well... or possibly the entry page. I love it... so I just have to share it....lol...






Of course it would be larger as a splash page. But it looks pretty good even this small. It has Veretekk as my Featured Marketing system; and Leisure Audio Books as my featured business. Of course my Pomeranians are the Main Event. What else would it be...lol...

I love the picture of Min Min in the middle of it. She is such a beautiful girl. She had been out playing in the yard, of course her neck ruff was a mess....lol... she came over and stretched out on her tummy and I took her photo.. beautiful beautiful girl...

I'm pretty excited about Leisure Audio Books both as a viable business opportunity and as an excellent product line. They actually have over 6000 titles. Everything from dog training, business books, The Secret, to romances, westerns, thrillers, and so on.

I listened to a number of the intros and there is good sound quality as well.

Pre-launch and new launch foo-for-all



On a business note. I see pre-launch and brand new launch this that and the other thing all over the place.


Some of these may be great, some may be total crap. Keep in mind that if they are actually new launches or pre-launches. They really do not have a track record. The figures they are throwing around don’t mean much of anything. Yes I’ve gotten caught up in the frenzy before.

Before you add something to your business portfolio ask yourself if this is a program or product you want to represent. Does this program/product/system add to your portfolio or is it a detriment to what you are working for. What is your niche? How does said program/product fit into it. Is it a positive representation of your business.
I work with a variety of programs, and in truth there are some that are going to be trimmed from my portfolio. I’ve been at it with a machete whacking off dead branches, so to speak. Sculpting my online presence. That is an on going process. My business is a growing thing, and like a hedge sometimes it needs trimmed, pruned, watered and fertilized.

I’ve been using Veretekk to help grow my business. Truthfully it’s been extremely useful. I’ve risen in the search engines over the past few months. First I went after my name. Mary E. Robbins, happily I am on the first pages now, in both google and yahoo. I was clear back on page 10 in yahoo and farther back in google. Then I went after robbinsrun, again I’m on the first pages. I am starting after another set of key words now. It’s a learning process. Speaking of which there is very useful training at Veretekk. I am learning seo (search engine optimization) at veretekk. By the way the classes are free to all who are members. Whether you have a free membership or a paid gold membership. Frankly the best way to start is with the free membership, take some time learn your way around then upgrade to gold when you are ready. I have one gold account and several free silver ones that I am optimizing for various projects. What can I say... it works.

Gotta run…

Head shakin mini rant







Good morning … or afternoon … etc… depending on what part of the planet you live on. May all be well with you today.

It tis the last day of June on my Little Ranch here in Southeastern Wyoming. On this bright summer morn I have to say I am a bit perplexed. Actually it’s one of those moments when you just shake your head in… what would the word be. Certainly not amazement, not disbelief because you’ve seen it so many times before. It’s not disgust although sometimes it borders on that… no single word covers it. It’s a quiet to silent laugh through the nose and a head shake. At the same time a knowing look flashes through the eyes.

Most, if not all, people that actually work for themselves... note I said ACTUALLY WORK… have had this flash across their face at one time or another. It’s usually the result of someone’s naiveté. Or a comment by someone who “says” they want to be in business for themselves. Loves the idea of being in business for themselves. Is usually making no money, can’t figure out why they aren’t making any money. Want’s you to tell them how to make money. Take your time to help them get their business going. Change their financial state, physical state, mental state… whatever.

At the same time, refuses to take any action on their part. Oh let’s not forget… flat refuses to take any responsibility for the state their life/business/marriage/mental state etc is in.

Thus far this is a little rant, but I’m building up steam for a full on honkin rant complete with #$*%^#& … frankly I don’t have the time for it. I’m attacking grooming again today. And will be until I get through it. Those little hairballs need that winter coat off in this heat… so it’s the great hair off campaign.

So to wrap it up. You… Me… each and every one of is responsible for our own lives, business, marriage, mental state, messy house, or poopy drawers you may be sitting in. You don’t like that, tough tookis. It’s that free will thing. Your life your responsibility. You don’t like the way your life, etc. is going. CHANGE IT!

Here is the kicker: It takes effort on your part. Effort to learn, Effort to follow thorough, Effort to change direction when necessary. There is another word for effort… can you guess what it is. Bet you can. Ok… here it is … great mystery solved… it’s a tiny little four letter word. No not whine… Whine has five letters. The great mystery word is… drumroll please…W-O-R-K.

Think about it. What you do is up to you! On the flip side. What you don’t do is up to you! The results are yours so is the choice.

Later tater…

News and Notes: Whoo Hoo Summer is Swinging

Summer is in full swing at our little home on the range. Hair is flying everywhere. Whoooo… it’s a hair flurry! In truth I’m grooming out my kennel. My little furry friends put on very heavy coat for winter. They are beautiful dogs when they aren’t in full coat, but when they are they are simply stunning. My main site RobbinsRunRanch: Living The Dream with Our Pomeranians is evolving. Beautiful puppy pictures, and other goodies as well. Come on by for a visit. Click Here:

Back to the actual ranch: I was doing some clean up chores. Disposing of used bedding. I have this big old stock tank that works as a fire ring. Then the ashes are used about the ranch. Anyway I had that fire popping. Not huge, not uncontrollable. My fire ring is right next to a water source. We do not need any range fires out here. Anyway it was just at dark and it was dancing around like liquid flame. So beautiful deep intense orange just flowing over it’s dinner. Lapping it up like a hungry dragon.

Just a thought: Wherever you are, whatever you are doing if you look. You can see beauty.

Be sure to stop by and check out the traffic builders featured this week. Excellent tools. They are featured on my Traffic Exchange Blog.

I have used the one featured this week extensively. It is a good bit of the reason that if you put my name Mary E. Robbins, in either google or yahoo you will find me on the first page. Pomeranians Wyoming, and robbinsrun come up on the first pages referring to my sites as well. Pretty exciting stuff considering 4 months ago I was around 10 to 15 pages back on my name.

Remember your focus determines where you go. When you are driving a car you look where you want to go. Then you take approiate action to get there. Turn the steering wheel, use the brakes, accelerator, etc. It’s the same thing with your business, your life overall actually. Take a moment and think about it.

News and Notes... Happy Father's Day!



Happy Father’s Day! Seems amazing that it is already Father’s Day 2007! This year is really zooming by. Geez. Yesterday was a somewhat productive day. I’ve been trying to find reference to who put together a weight/growth chart for toy dogs. Found the chart in a number of sites. But no reference as to who developed it. Who knows. Actually it looks like a decent average guide. So I’m going to incorporate it into my website. Yes I’m going to keep looking for the person who developed it. It will be interesting to see just how it stacks up against what my dogs actually do.

Back to Father’s Day… Once again Happy Father’s Day! To all of you Dads and soon to be Dads out there… Happy Father’s Day to all Moms as well as All Single Parents. You have the combo package… Mom Dad etc.

My Pop is here visiting for a few weeks. It’s good to see him. He drove in from Minnesota. We are in South Eastern Wyoming so that is a bit of a ramble. He’ll be 80 in August and he really looks good. Living in the woods agrees with him. Literally he lives on a place out in the woods in Minnesota. He’s active and it shows.

Hello couch potatoes, want to live that long and actually be able to function. Get off the couch! Move your body, no not jiggling on the way to the frig for some more food. The longer you sit around the harder it is to get into condition. I’m finding that out for sure. My activity level was severely limited due to illness and surgery and it’s kicking my behind getting my body into condition again. Geez who dropped me in the meat grinder. It’s going to take some time and a gradual increase, but I’m keeping at it. I don’t want to be one of those people who can’t wipe their own hiney because they simply didn’t move.

Ok.. fat hineys aside. On the business end of things, so to speak. Here are a couple of top notch tools. Leads*o*matic has been revamped. It worked great before but it is really popping now. Well worth using. Pair it up with Track That Ad so you know whether your ads are being clicked on or not and you really have a winning combination.

Leads*o*matic works great developing your raw lead base as well as generating traffic to your sites.


Both have a Fre*e level so you can check things out without emptying your bank accounts.

If you want to be included in the link exchange let me know. Use links@robbinsrun.com for link exchange requests. Simply Links is my link exchange page. It’s just getting going but it is growing.

On the Hairball front, as in Pomeranians things are really looking good. Literally, beautiful little happy hairballs. I’ll be microchipping later today and taking photographs to update my puppy pictures. Wow the photos there show them as cute adorable creatures, which of course they are. But the pictures simply don’t do them justice. They are really beautiful. A pleasure to work with and enjoy. Yes I enjoy my Poms. It is so rewarding to see the joy they bring into other people’s lives as well. Be sure to stop by and take a look.

Time is flying… gotta run…
