Re: Many iCloud users receiving spam Calendar & Photo Sharing invitations, here’s how to fix

William (Bill) Lee — Sat, 26 Nov 2016 07:43:12 -0000

Your solution worked, thanks. Just started receiving one RayBan spam in iCal and couldn't get rid of it except to hit decline - before I read your fix.

Then week or do later received two at same time, RayBan again as well as Oakley. And they were on every day going forward.

This Tim time I followed your create Spam calendar fix and was able to remove the all.

Hope this will prevent future ones but if not at least I know how to remove them!

Re: Agents Represent Authors

I read both Joanna Penn's 'I'm offended' post and both of yours, and find them equally important. But I lean to your first post, maybe minus the 'let', because those are issues and points many people ignore or are unaware of.

Self publishing is a wonderful and freeing ability. But not all writing is created equal. And with the proliferation of self publishing services plying their wares, self publishing authors are going to discover the value of good publishers, book designers, PR people, and agents and managers. Most of those people earn their commissions and royalties.

I'm a produced screenwriter and first time novelist preparing to self publish my young adult novel 'becoming Hope' in July. This does not mean I'm not interested in a traditional publishing contract, because I am. In my case I'm using the self publishing route as a tool to get going, create some awareness for 'becoming Hope', and use that as leverage in negotiating a publishing contract.

I don't want to spend my time creating and managing websites, designing book covers, formatting my book online, continuous marketing - I want to write. And that's what a good publishing team will allow you to do.

Thanks for your generosity Chris. Looks really useful.

Thanks for the honest and inspiring post Chris. Been there done that sort of at the end of that. And I say inspiring post despite the tough story line because it helps hearing about the same challenges faced by someone with a public and high profile who we tend to think don't have any problems or don't make mistakes, least not the ones we do. When I teach screenwriting it's always a surprise to people when I tell them about the difficulties, challenges and insecurity faced by many famous people I had the good fortune to work with over the past 25 years in the film industry. All the best and looking forward to your new book!

Great article. As most of them are. I wanted to sign up for your newsletter through my iPhone but couldn't find a way. Am I missing something? Thanks Chris.

Hi Clay, Thanks to you and Dave Navarro for what you've given us already. The education has proved helpful.

Like a lot of people out there I’ve often been overwhelmed at the information overload and what 'appears' to be the next breakthrough or 'money making system.'

Fortunately my past experience in research as a screenwriter and independent film producer taught me how to find the pony under all the crap.

At this point in my life – no I’m not terminally ill or arthritically aged - where I want to create an income generating career out of teaching and coaching others. This includes helping people save a ton of time, money and frustration by pointing them in the right direction in terms of tools, tips and training they can really use and apply to build a business of their own; or write that Oscar winning screenplay.

I’ve been lucky to finally find people like yourself, Dave and the rest of the ‘Third Tribers’ who do have something of value to offer. And anyway I can spread the word farther and faster, the better for everyone.

Thanks again.

Reciprocity. When you give people something, no matter how small, they feel an obligaition to return the favor. In this case you're first giving people a service by developing, delivering and studying the survey. And then you give them a FREE report. All for nothing - price that is! Thanks for the great info Clay and wonderful production values. Also enjoyed your webinar with Dave Navarro. Looking forward to more! Best, Bill

Re: A NEW Network Marketing Pro Challenge – NMPRO #315

William (Bill) Lee — Fri, 28 May 2010 11:52:52 -0000

Hi Eric. I accept the challenge and look forward to the upcoming programs. And thanks for your comment back on show #311. I also appreciated the sentiments of Tony Scarcia and Rick Nelson. I’d also like to invite anyone out there who like me may not be where they want to be or are ‘stuck’ to a new start. Let’s all make this day one as part of Eric’s month (25 show) challenge. Let’s see where we can all be in 30 days from now. If we want to see a change in the perception of network marketing then let’s be proactive and to paraphrase Gandhi, let’s be the change we want to see in network marketing. If anyone wants we can also be part of our own support group, regardless of company affiliations. Maybe a weekly phone conference. Ideas? Feel free to contact me anytime.

Re: Network Marketing Gives You Control – NMPRO #311

William (Bill) Lee — Mon, 24 May 2010 16:43:01 -0000

It is a great message Eric but isn't it a slight exaggeration and the kind of promo that turns people away. Don't get me wrong, I'm a total supporter of Network Marketing, the work you and others are doing to help the profession - and I will continue to be a supporter. But I also believe in the truth and spreading that far and wide. Granted, as BetterCoffee.dk said, if we don't like or agree with our company we can take them and leave. In perfect world that's true but there's no guarantee the team is going to come with us. Or what about companies that suddenly fold? What about companies that turn out to be less than they appeared? What about owners that sell out'? I think that if we truly want to take network marketing ‘mainstream’ then we have to be more transparent. Yes, there are a tremendous amount of advantages to having a successful network marketing business but there are challenges and pitfalls as well. Let’s stop putting other people and businesses down and just promote and market what we already have in our hands – if we are with a good team and a good company. Thankfully I have a good, transparent and honest company in that they know what the business world and its challenges are. Now it’s up to me to build a team who want something more than they have and feel the same way about my company as I do.

Re: NMPRO #257 – We Are UNCOMMON

William (Bill) Lee — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 11:01:51 -0000

A great analogy Eric and one that everyone in network marketing should embrace. It was also good timing for me as I was on a very busy one way street last week with a lot of aggressive drivers honking and shouting. I think I even caught site of someone flipping the bird. But today I don't care! Thanks.

Re: NMPRO #244 – Replacing Fear with CONFIDENCE 1 of 2

William (Bill) Lee — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 16:05:10 -0000

For me fear has been, and is, one of the biggest challenges. Fear of 'failing' (again), fear of succeeding (and alienating myself from friends and family who criticized, ridiculed, and objected), fear of becoming someone other than who I've been 'programmed' to be, fear of losing a grip on what I presently think is important. Anyone else?

Re: NMPRO #241 – Think About YOUR Legacy

William (Bill) Lee — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 11:37:04 -0000

I think legacy could be a great motivating factor in doing the business, I know it is for me. But legacy can mean different things for different people. Legacy could be a college fund for your kids; a dream vacation for your wife or family that will be remembered for a lifetime; maybe it's creating a charity; or supporting an existing one; or maybe it's helping to improve the life of one single individual. Because who knows how that person's life will change the life of others. It doesn’t necessarily mean making a million dollars. Like throwing a pebble into a pond...

Re: NMPRO #240 – Psychic Damage

William (Bill) Lee — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 12:18:31 -0000

I think the problem a lot of people face but don't admit, and what makes change so challenging, is that changing, growing, improving one's self, means that something was wrong to begin with. And what's a bigger uphill battle is that if we change now then we have to accept that maybe, just maybe, we could have changed before. No one wants to face the fact that we could have had a much better life, relationship, job, if we made the change sooner. So we don't...

Re: NMPRO #234 – Leaders are MADE

William (Bill) Lee — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 00:46:11 -0000

I think it's a combination of all three - a select few are born to lead, or at least have some inborn drive or desire to do so and learn along the way. Most are made, of their own accord or through necessity, desire, or situation. And I believe they all share one thing in common that was expressed so eloquently by Nelson Mandela after his release from 27 years in prison: "The glory in living lies not in never falling down but in getting up every time we do."

Re: NMPRO #232 – Adapting to Change

William (Bill) Lee — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 21:07:17 -0000

That may be the one common thread that holds everyone back. Why so many quit, get discouraged, and blame it on others, the system, the COMPANY. After spending almost two years studying, listening to, reading and learning from (hopefully!) hundreds of professionals and masters - it seems the one thing they all have in common was making the decision to take charge and belief that they would do it. Despite different styles, voices, genders, ages, backgrounds - this was the one thing they all had, and have. That's the decision I made two days ago!

Re: NMPRO #202 – Never Underestimate the Power of Denial

William (Bill) Lee — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 10:45:09 -0000

I agree there are a lot of people in denial but shouldn't we as network marketers not focus so much attention on the material side of things, like a $400,000 jewellry shopping spree? I understand how that type of thing is meant to encourage and spark dreams, but don't you think it also encourages more of the same mentality you're critisicing? Maybe we can encourage and inspire people to think about being debt free, have the time and freedom to do what you would really like to, which is something you often talk about. And maybe we can encourage people to think about how many people and/or charities they can help with $400,000. I wish you and yours a very happy holiday season.

Congrats Eric! Great testament to your passion and professioalism. It's a tie for my favorite show between the Dan McCormick and Nathan Ricks. But so many of your shows have inspired and educated me! Thank you.

Re: NMPRO #199 – Do More Than 90% of MLMers Fail?

William (Bill) Lee — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 09:47:13 -0000

All the best to you and your this holiday season Eric. And thanks for the great work on NMPRO! This interview with Len Clements came at a great time for me - as have many of the others before. Just when I was letting some doubt creep in, boom, there you and Len were. And thanks for referring The 50th Law. I bought it last week and am half way through and know that I will be rereading and highly recommending this book. If you hadn't recommended it I wouldn't have bought it because of the 50 Cent connection. Just shows to go ya.... I have a new respect for him and Robert Greene. BTW, if you don't know of these books already I think you would be interested: Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth and Happiness by Richard Thaler & Cass Sunstein; and The Fifth Discipline by Peter Senge. It's about creating a learning organization. Have a good one!

I AM prepared to make November a month to remember. Ironically I just had a conversation about that with my coach. BTW, met Gary Vaynerchuck in Montreal at his book signing. Great guy - great book. Thanks Eric, especially for our 'private session' with Gary on your site.

Re: NMPRO #164 – Dedication

A young New York City ballet dancer once auditioned for a famous dancer and choreographer in the hopes of getting a small part in his production of Swan Lake. Unfortunately there were too many dancers and not enough dancing roles. On the way out she saw the famous choreographer standing alone at the front door. She hurried over and excused herself, asking the great artist if he thought she could be a great dancer one day. Brushing her off he said he had no idea.

Years later the woman was married with children and living a quiet life as a insurance office secretary in a small upstate New York town. The town was buzzing with the guest appearance at their local art house of the same great choreographer for a special presentation of Swan Lake.

The night of the show the woman was walking by the theater when she saw the same great choreographer stepping out of a taxi. Steeling herself for a confrontation she marched over to the man as the taxi pulled away and tapped him on the shoulder.

“Do you remember me?”

“I’m afraid not,” replied the great man.

“25 years ago in New York City I was a hard working ballet student and you told me you had no idea if I could ever be a great dancer.”

“And?”

His seeming indifference really ticked off the woman. “Your comment to me crushed my spirit and I quit dancing the next day. And I’ve regretted it ever since. I’ve been wanting to ask you for 25 years how you could have said such a thing to me, without even having watched me dance”

The great choreographer inhaled deeply and looked down at the woman standing there, a hint of sadness in his eyes.

“If you really wanted to be a great dancer, then nothing I said would have stopped you.”

And with that he walked into the theater, leaving the woman alone on the sidewalk.

Re: NMPRO #162 – The Power of Spaced Repetition

I've watched at least a couple of dozen more than once and am in the process of converting ones I like/need to MP3 files so I can listen to them in my car - and wherever else I go. Thanks Eric and have a great trip.
