(You can check out the free Renegade University for a free test drive of what Renegade Professional has to offer.) It’s a unique opportunity that will help you take everything you learn in Renegade Professional (and your business) to the next level. Most of it they’ve never shared with anyone.

According to Ann Sieg Renegade Breakthrough Mentoring Program (RBMP) is a Business Development Strategy. Renegade Professional (R-Pro) is for traffic generation.

The Renegade Breakthrough is about mindset development. The breakthrough program is about awareness not just skill set. It’s not always just developing skill sets. It’s also having an awareness in mind. Ann Sieg and Mike Klingler will be mentoring us through this process.

In lesson two Ann Sieg talks about the rinse and repeat process. Ann encourages us to simply trust the process.

Ann and Mike are giving us the opportunity to have awareness of things they had to learn the slow, hard way. This is a program that you will return to over and over. In one or two months you will view the information at an entirely new level of awareness. You will have AHAs that you didn’t even see the first time through.

Learning the tools of lead generation is only half the equation, Renegade Breakthrough Mentoring Program (RBMP) can be viewed as a supplement to Renegade Professional (R-Pro).

Renegade Breakthrough is simply more effective than other coaching, mentoring programs.

Why?

People learn by doing, by taking action. Secondly, people learn better and faster in a supportive environment, in a like-minded community.

That is exactly what Renegade Breakthrough is about. You will actively be creating content and building your business with help and feedback from Ann Sieg, Mike Klingler and others.

This is the eulogy I wrote for Verna.  It needs work but I am still far too raw to edit it further.

Our little ray of sunshine was born June 30th, 1958. I still remember Mom waving her hankie out the window of her room at Grace Hospital in Vancouver; now known as BC Women’s Hospital.

Verna was born with bilateral hip dislocation and underwent several surgeries to try and shorten the ligaments. This involved being in a plaster cast with her legs akimbo for several months. I remember I started changing diapers at age 9 which was awkward with a plaster cast to contend with. Verna was almost always smiling and co-operative. The same surgery was performed successfully on a neighbor child which may have been the catalyst for trying the surgery again. To no avail, they said that Verna's other issues complicated matters.
We lived in a little house in Burnaby near Lougheed Mall; just up the road from Costco which used to be a field of horses.

Thanks to Verna we got our first TV set in the early 60s.

We moved to 616 Gatensbury, Coquitlam in the spring of 1963. Our parents bought that house simply because the hallway was wide enough to manouver Verna's bed up and down the hall so she could be with the family for dinner.

I was finishing Grade 2 and Howard was in Grade 5? I can remember being shocked years later when Mom said she left us each home to babysit while she took the other one to school to register. No handy dart in those days! No wheelchair access and definitely no transportation for anyone in a bed!

Around this time Verna was in RCH; I believe this may be where she developed her 1st staph infection and spent time in isolation; a dreadful place with no windows. Verna's sunny disposition saw her through.

They said she would never walk but Verna never read that manual and so she walked.

I remember when my Mom went back to work; I would pull Verna home from the sitters in a wagon. One particular day some kids were walking home from school and laughing and pointing at Verna. This is my first memory of her talking to her fingers. She was saying to one hand, what's wrong Verna and the other hand was saying It's okay Verna; back and forth. Through out her life she used this as a mechanism to talk herself through situations. Kind of like one hand represented good and one bad. If there was ever something we wanted Verna to do and she didn't want to do it she would chat back and forth, come to a decision and usually co-operate.

Verna was able to walk for several years. In her late teens though she ended up at Sunny Hill for an extended period of time. This may have when she had plates and pins put in her hips for stability.

I remember she turned of age while at Sunny Hill and the only residence the could come up with for Verna was an old folks home.

My mother hit tilt!

This would have been the worst possible solution for Verna who thrived on social interaction and was constantly lighting up people's lives.

Some how the Richmond/Vancouver DDA came to the rescue and Verna was moved to 55B on Arlington.

She worked for several years at various workshops doing such jobs as putting napkins and cutlery in bags for the airlines. Then the fair wage act backfired and many jobs like these went away.
My brother Howard was always a big hockey fan. In those days with one TV the entire family watched what was on. So Hockey Night in Canada was a family ritual. Howard was the colour guy and took us through the play by play; sometimes rattling the windows with a big:  "He shoots! He scores!"

Verna loved it and the word hockey and Howard became synonymous. For years if anyone mentioned hockey; Verna would say Howard.

At one point the Vancouver Canucks took Verna and a group from the DDA on the Royal Hudson. This was in the Tiger Williams era and Verna knew many of the Canucks by name.

Verna had a gift for faces and names and remembered everyone she met. Years later she would still know that person. My uncle Ruddy made a big impression on Verna and taught her to drink a milkshake with a straw by letting her eat the ice cream off the end of the straw. Years later she remembered him by name.

Verna was a very orderly person and maintained her 2 box tape and CD collection in perfect order. You dare not put a tape back in the wrong place! It was impossible to know her sequence; possibly it was the order she received them but it was her system and she wouldn't allow you to mess it up.


Being is a wheelchair for so many years really developed Verna's upper body strength. You definitely didn't want to get in an arm wrestle with her because she always won!

Verna was a big Treky fan and that was her Halloween costume for years.

At one time Verna was a huge Michael Jay Fox fan and there were posters of Michael plastered all over her hospital room at VGH. She loved Donny Osmond, Abba, the Beatles and of course she was a huge fan of Elvis. More recently she attended Mama Mia and put ABBA back at the top of her favorite list.

Elvis actually put in an appearance at her 40th birthday party; He got down on one knee and sang to her. Elvis lives! as far as Verna was concerned. He also put in an appearance a couple of years ago at Leida & Jamie's wedding where he tossed her his scarf.

Verna knew and loved a tremendous number of people. In fact one of her care givers, Sherry took her to the Vancouver Folk Festival and afterwards she said to me. "Next time I take Verna there I'm wearing a t-shirt that says: "I'm with Verna"

A very dark time in Verna's life was when her body rejected the pins in her hips which had been put in about 15 years earlier at VGH. She got seriously ill. Valerie took her to Burnaby hospital but was sent home. She ended up at VGH where she was transfused overnight. My parents came home to find the front door of there house wide open and all their valuables stolen. This was the beginning of a several month ordeal. Verna spent the entire Expo 86 in hospital overlooking the site from her room. Her one trip to Expo was to go to McDonalds. She loved Ronald!


The reinforcing plates were removed to allow antibiotics to cope with a staph infection. She had wounds in her hips, one the size of an orange and one the size of a grapefruit. They were changing her dressings every 4 hours and couldn't understand why she was screaming in pain and trying to crawl off the back of her bed. She was screaming: "Save me Mommy, Save me Daddy"; and they were helpless.

I remember my Mom saying it was worse than the Spanish Inquisition. The reason only became known in mid-November, a fractured left femur was revealed on an X-ray discovered by the Resident surgeon.

I believe in the Fall of 1987 Verna had a plate put back in her hip for stability so that even though her other leg was forever broken she was able to transfer on her own.

We can see by pictures from various events Verna's gradual deterioration. Verna was dancing at weddings in 1980 but was in a wheelchair for my wedding in 1985. Still dancing; just not with her feet. One of the remarkable things about Verna is that she maintained her sunny disposition in spite of all her many obstacles. She never bemoaned the fact that she could no longer walk. She accepted it and moved on. Quite the role model for those that let circumstance get in the way.

Even in Verna's final weeks she endured much pain and yet was always pleased to see me and her other visitors. I'm sure the hospital staff must have wondered who this little person was who garnered so much attention.

Verna was always delighted to see me. She would smile with her whole face and do her best to talk. I can assure you that if I had been in her place I would not have been smiling. When I put on an Elvis CD she tried to dance although so weak she could barely lift her arms. If she could move it she did even if it was just her toe!

Verna lived a happy and fulfilled life. Her caregivers and friends that she met stayed friends with her even when they no longer lived under the same roof. I commented on several occasions that Verna had more of a social life than me! There was always birthdays, Christmas or some special event happening.

My Mom often said that Verna was as close to an angel as she would ever see.

I love what one of my online friends, Candace said in her card to me:

“I know your sister will be watching over you with the beautiful smile you remember and cheering you on in all things. Every gentle breeze are her wings fluttering by you and giving you strength.”....truly an angel above that looks out for me.

A couple of quotes:

A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle. James Keller

“Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.” Buddha quote

Verna in her own way lit the candle of many lives.

What makes this recession different? Why is there so much fear, bordering on panic this time? Are financial advisors like Suze Orman or David Bach fuelling the fear talking about it so much? Or are they simply filling a need? Or is the media in general to blame?

You can't tune into the news without hearing something about the recession. In fact you hear the same sound bites over and over again.

How about a history lesson?

We've all heard of the Great Depression. History shows there has been one recession after another.  And yes, worse than the current one. When it gets really bad they call it a depression. We seem to have very short memories. With the media playing these same sound bites over and over again until we truly believe the sky is falling.

If you look at the diagram below you can see the timeline for bull and bear markets going back to 1956.

A bull market being defined as a positive move greater than 15% that last for at least 3 months and a bear market as a negative move greater than 15% lasting at least 3 months.

The first bar in the graph shows a bear market which dropped to -15% and lasted 17 months. This was followed by a bull market which rose 104% and lasted 48 months.

Since 1956 there have been 10 bull markets and 11 bear markets. You can see that bull markets last much longer and have a more significant percentage change.

Bear markets averaged -27% and lasted only 14 months. During this same period bull markets have averaged 148% and lasted 48 months. Not a bad reward for surviving the risk of bear markets.

Typically investors spend more time in a positive bull market than in a negative bear market. Bull markets on average last longer and have a more significant percentage change. Bear markets on the other hand are briefer yet they engender a lot of fear. This is the time when there are bargains to be found.People like Warren Buffet look at this recession and see that real estate and stocks are all on sale.

According to this chart by Mackenzie Investments we have been in this mess before! And we are a good 8 months into this one if you are in Canada and 15 months into it if you are in the US. Now with the average being 17 months; I would say there is light at the end of the tunnel!

The average gain in a bull market is +148% and the average length is 48 months vs

The average loss in a bear market is -27% and the average length is 14 months.

I think what is reassuring about this graph is that we have been there before and the ensuing rise is substantial. The last one was also -45%, lasted 25 months and then  rose 108% and lasted 61 months!

The chart also shows that the bull/bear market sticks pretty close to 5 year cycles.

Suze Orman offers some strategies for surviving this recession. It's good advice as far as it goes. But why survive when you can thrive?

Having a fear based mentality serves no purpose. Some of the richest people in the world got rich in times of recession. Bill Gates for example. While others were lining up for gas he was in a dorm room somewhere and well the rest is history.

I remember only too well when the mortgage rates were 18%. Those were tough times. I also remember that same period of time being a boon for some friends of mine. They had actually separated, sold their house and banked about $100 grand. They got paid 18% interest!

There's no shortage of money, just the distribution of money. I heard once that if all the money in the world was distributed equally that within a few years 95% of us would be back where we started sharing 5% of the money and 5% would have 95% of the wealth.

People like Warren Buffet look at this recession and see that real estate and stocks are all on sale.

Suze Orman offers good advice as far as how to tighten your belt. But, what if you could do something to expand your income circle? The way the law of attraction works is that we get what we focus on the most. Do we really want to keep repeating how bad it is?

I believe if we take a step back and see that we have gone through this recession scenario several times and have always come out far better and for far longer we will take this recession in stride and with a positive outlook. We will look to ways to use this recession to our advantage just the way Bill Gates and Warren Buffet do.

Robert Kiyosaki says that the only difference between the rich and the rest of us is the way they think. It's all about mindset. It's about seeing opportunity where others see disaster.

Ann Sieg interviews Mike Klingler of Renegade Professional to get some background to his success; not just his success. Mike Klingler is a gifted teacher who can take even us baby boomers online and have success with Attraction Marketing. To watch the entire video: http://RenegadePro101.com

Video released today gives the big picture: http://renegadepro101.com

Attraction marketing is the way to build your business online. Ann Sieg explains why in her latest e-book: The Attraction Marketer’s Manifesto. She also spilled the beans on her latest project:

Ann Sieg and Mike Klingler are launching Renegade Professional to teach attraction marketing!

What a dynamic duo!

Ann Sieg delivers the goods in The Attraction Marketer’s Manifesto. She answers all the questions that were raised by The Renegade Network Marketer.

I’ve been working with Mike Klingler for a year now as part of his beta program Renegade University.

In this video, I feel like I just met Mike Klingler for the first time!

Those of us who have been with Renegade University from the beginning are a very nice community and are always delighted to have more attraction marketers join us. We all love Mike Klingler. Mike is a gifted teacher and provides outstanding training to those looking to bring their business online.

Mike Klingler is a very humble guy and he has definitely been hiding his light behind a bushel! I think we may have been underestimating the brilliance of this guy.

Here is what Ann Sieg has to say about Mike Klingler:

“He's personally sponsored well over 500 people in his MLM career.”

“He's built an organization of 4,352 paying distributors in a single month!”

“And if you think that's impressive, wait until you find out how much free traffic he drives
to his lead generation websites and how he does it!” 99% of his traffic is free.

Mike Klingler has more marketing and advertising experience than anyone else I know of in the MLM industry! He has over 12 years of online experience under his belt. “This guy's sold more stuff and built bigger businesses than a lot of the "gurus" out there.”


“Plus, I really think he's one of the best teachers around. I've learned A LOT from him since we met” ---Ann Sieg

Pretty high praise coming from Ann Sieg. Ann has spent the last several years studying every guru out there and not only gleaning the information for herself but putting it all together and sharing it with you and me in the form of The Renegade Network Marketer and now her latest e-book The Attraction Marketer’s Manifesto. Ann Sieg just keeps piling on the value; the Attraction Marketer’s Manifesto is Free!

• On the video Mike reveals that in 2002 he generated $1.2 million in revenue for  products and services.
• He currently does $500,00 in revenue
• His blogs and web-site generate over 3000 unique visitors a day.

In the last few pages of The Attraction Marketer’s Manifesto Ann finally pulled back the curtain on her latest project with the announcement that she was aligning with Mike Klinger and that together they will be launching the Renegade Professional, a brand new training program in late March, early April.

Mike has the utmost patience as he takes you step by step, click by click through his tutorials. As he points out, anyone can read an e-book on the subject but then you have to go back and do it.

Attraction Marketing is the missing link in this scramble to take our businesses online.

Today Ann released a video that will explain everything: http://renegadepro101.com

This 50 minute video explains:

• The real reason this training program was put together
• What it can do for you and your business
• Results others have gotten with it
• Examples of how the lead generation process works on the internet.
• What you need to do AFTER you generate a lead in order to get them to join your business.

So don’t believe your upline if they have old school thinking. The old ways of making a list and contacting family and friends etc is passé. Attraction marketing is the better way. There is a learning curve however. If you're wondering about the new training program or simply want to pick up a few new strategies you can use right now in your business go to http://renegadepro101.com

Ed covered 3 big announcements that have been made in the last week and explained how they relate to you and me.

You can watch the video chat in it's entirety:

Live video chat by Ustream

First: Last week iTunes came out with a new subscription package. As Paul Colligan pointed out; if you are a marketer with a digital product you can now deliver it to the masses. You can deliver an entire course as long as it is digital or pdf. You can deliver it to a massive digital market place. There is nothing else that comes close. There are no digital rights attached. What a fantastic opportunity to distribute our content.

Don’t have a product yet? Have you read Ann Sieg’s The Attraction Marketer’s Manifesto yet? What are you waiting for?! This is so much easier and such an inexpensive way to market!

Second:  An announcement: Amazon’s Kindle is now available on iPhone and iPodTouch. Kindle is a way to get books delivered wirelessly. Basically it’s an iPod for books. If you have a US credit card you have access to Kindle for books, newspapers etc. Kindle was a nice little product and had sold about ½ million. They have now gone from ½ million to how many iPhone and iPod touch users are available? This is a huge market. Huge.

Many of us have an ebook in us, just waiting to be pubished. Take 30 minutes and learn how to become a Kindle publisher. Did I ask you if you had read The Attraction Marketer’s Manifesto yet? There are a ton of ideas in there. Not only ideas but suggestions on how you can repackage existing content into an ebook. Have you written 20 or so articles yet? Have you got a newsletter?

The third topic that Ed Dale covered was the latest changes at Facebook. This is a hot topic for anyone in internet marketing.

A couple of points he made to put things in perspective. 175 milion people are now on Facebook. But what was even more stunning is that that figure was only representative of those that had logged on int the last 30 days.

Facebook is growing a Twitter every 10 days in Ed Dales words. There are 750,000 new users every day. He said that if Facebook stopped and took on no new members and if Twitter grew at the same rate as it did last week it would take Twitter 36 years to catch up. Now I can’t quite get my head around that one!

Now why is this important to us?

Gary Halbert said as marketers we have to be where the market is. Ed Dale said that people are “fleeing to facebook”; they are tired of the internet and virus warnings.

Ed gave the analogy of moving from DOS to Windows. You could do more with DOS but Windows soon became the norm.

He wanted to be able to send a message in a variety of ways. This is what is so great about Twitter but is what sucked about Facebook. Ed Dale says that newsfeeds are the holy grail of Facebook.

About a year ago Facebook published Facebook pages; its confusing because it looks similar but it is different. On Facebook you can only have one profile whereas on Facebook pages you can promote whatever it is you do or sell. However it was still useless because you couldn’t communicate with everyone all at once.

What Ed referred to as the Facebook bombshell is you can now go to the facebook page and when you posts an update it will go into your fans newsfeed. So when you type in an update, it goes into your fans newsfeed and they see as soon as they log in.

You need to create an easy url to redirect. Ed’s page is Tubbynerd.com/facebook and takes you to his fan page where you can become a fan.

This is the biggest thing in Facebook since it started. This new Facebook pages is the missing link; its fantastic.

Prior to this you couldn’t communicate with people in one place and have their updates appear. They would never see you again unless they went to your page. If you ask people to do even one more step they are gone.

Now you can see what content they look at, how many fans, their demographics etc. “Demographics is manna from heaven.”

People use Google to search for stuff. People are on Facebook interacting in their life. “This is the water cooler.” Facebook has provided an amazing infrastructure. Before with a group you could only message up to 500 but as of today that’s over.

There is now a FB guide; read it on how to do.
