Our regularly scheduled training session this Monday, Feb. 21st, 2011, has been canceled!
Brenda was to enjoy a nice weekend with her sisters, and a bad winter storm is hitting the area between her safe return and their meeting place. So now she will be spending an extra day with her sisters! It is much safer that way!
We wish her and here sisters a safe return to their homes!
We extend our apologies, for the entire team for canceling the training! If you need assistance, please contact us at admin@thegrandretirementplan.com

Hocus Pocus ? No. Focus - by Philippe Moisan
Katrina invited me to post in the TGRP blog, so here is my post
It is very easy to lose focus of the things you have to do to move forward with your Internet Marketing business.
So many things try to get our attention :
- Emails
- Private Messages
- Surfing on TEs
- Buying that new hot product
- Posting on a blog
- Reading an article
- Seeing a video
- etc…
No wonder we get confused. Especially when that first dollar hasn’t been made. We go from one opportunity to another, from one article’s advice to another free eBook given if we sign up, to that awesome special offer to buy credits for a low price.
Where are your priorities ?
Define them. Take the time to list the actions that will get you closer to your goals,
When the to-do list is complete, choose an action and accomplish it. At once.
You’re not sure ? You don’t feel like ? Maybe in 30 minutes ? Right after you respond to that email from your associate ?
I’m telling you straight : what you need is self-discipline.
How does one acquire it ?
Brian Tracy wrote a book about a method that works when applied, according to him.
It is simple. Not easy. You will meet internal resistance.
The book is called “Eat That Frog”
In simple terms, the method described in the book is :
- Define the actions to take today
- Choose the one action you don’t want to do, i.e. the ugliest one, the frog
- Accomplish that task before anything else
The rest of your day will be so much easier. After all, the other actions will be more pleasant, you just finished the worst one.
Try it. You’ll see for yourself.
The next day won’t be any easier. You’ll have a frog for that day too.
RInse and repeat. Apply the “Eat that frog” method.
They say a new habit is acquired after 21 days.
I believe doing the frog method will become second nature, after a while.
I’ll give you some feedback in future posts. I apply the method starting NOW.
The Ultimate Marketing Plan
I was hungry for sales and profit
But lacked a strategic plan.
I needed a Master
to get results faster.
I called The Grand Retirement Plan
They coach me with their great clan.
About training, systems and goals
They give sound advice
Without raising the price.
The entire marketing role,
Truth be told, it takes time to get control.
I was always ‘too busy’ you know
But a tweak here and a tweak there
When I have an hour to spare
Gradually I grow
As The Grand Retirement clan keeps me aglow.
They brighten my day
Now off to the site I daresay!
To visit the ultimate marketing plan.

When Jack Nicklaus got too old to win tournaments in the PGA, what did he do ?
Buy a beach house and sip drinks for the rest of his life ?
NO WAY !
He had enough money to live many lives. He didn't need to work.
Well his passion was golf. he continued to play in tournaments, got into that other league for older players, and ...
He designed golf courses !!!

How to Build a List of Prospects to Market to
A couple of months ago after promoting my websites with mixed results
using safelists and traffic exchanges I decided to concentrate on
building traffic first. After all, it's no secret that traffic equals
prospects which equals sales.
I joined Traffic Hoopla, which is a free traffic builder, not a traffic
exchange. There is an upgrade which I do suggest but it's not neccesary
to reap the benefits of this program.
Traffic Hoopla exists to build traffic. Traffic building is important,
no essential, to a successful online business. The goalis to build
ongoing daily traffic and I strongly reccomend building traffic first,
then your business.
There's no such thing as overnight success, but after 2 months of daily
promoting my Traffic Hoopla site I'm getting 6-8 signups per week.
I'm also getting signups with the safelists and traffic exchanges I've
joined that generate more hits to my Traffic Hoopla site. This now
gives me a list of prospects that I can market my primary business to.
Each week Traffic Hoopla independently tests and lists the current
best advertising resources and ranks them based on stats.
You can also earn referral awards. Although it's not required, you
are rewarded for referring others mostly by a percentage of traffic
they earn, and often, commissions,and if they refer others you get
more traffic.
Although all the TE's and Safelists are free to join I did upgrade at
EuropeanSafelist. It's only $7 a month and rewards you with credits,
500 opt-in leads a month and an autoresponder. I felt it was a real
good investment for the cost.

Continuing to Grow!
Well it has been a couple weeks since we did an update on what's happening here at The Grand Retirement Plan!
We launched on August 3, 2010. Since then, we have a team of over 200!
It is wonderful to have so many join us!
We have been granted use of the F5M-MC training room for some really intense marketing training . Currently, we are reviewing some of the social and business networking web sites that GRP endorses on our membership site.
Don't worry if you know nothing about these sites, they will all be reviewed in our Monday Trainings.
We began with AdlandPro and will end when we have gone through every program. We want our members to be able to participate in the best programs available today!(don't worry, our training won't stop there. This is just the beginning!)
Our training for next week will be some in depth classified ad posting! Brenda will be hosting this and we will all have ads to post!
In our experience, classified ads, social networking and forum posting are the best marketing techniques for targeted, interested traffic to your opportunity. We have chosen the best places that we have found, but don't be afraid to look for others. There are many good forums and classified posting sites. If you have a question about a site you are thinking of joining and posting to, please ask.
Here is a tip, most opportunities and tools you sign up for, have a forum. Check them out! Read the rules for posting to see if you are able to use links in your signature. If you can, by all means, sign up and learn about the opportunity or tools and participate in some conversations!
