After my 3 day event on June 27-29 I decided to get away
and relax a bit. Afterall teaching for 3 days straight is not
as easy as it may sound.

Anyway we went to vegas for 5 days, then on the 5th day
we decided to extend one more day since we are having fun
then 6 days turned into seven before I realized I was
“vegased out” and decided to get back to cali.

So I posted some pictures as I promised you in my previous email.

Here is a picture of the “Welcome to Nevada” Sign we saw on the
way in

The view from the room was breathtaking to say the least. With
a full front view of the “Strip” I felt was in heaven.
Reason I took that room was the promise of a “panoramic” view
through floor to ceiling windows on both walls (corner room)

Here are a few pictures I took from the room (I took these
as I was writing my last email to you)

Speaking of piggybacking on other people’s advertising. You can
take it as BIZZARE or maybe as a great business idea…

When you thought you saw it all…

Ebay Slot Machines…. (Did you think ebay was into autions? hmm)

Here is a shot of me inside the Wynn. (yeah, that’s indoors)

I couldnt go to vegas and not visit the famous buffets. Here I am
on my 3rd plate

(which was a toped up plate of Alaskan King Crab Legs) mmmmm…

That’s the buffet at the Wynn if you are interested (about $35/person)

Oh, lets not forget the dessert.

Creme Brule, Chocolate tart topped with gold leaves, tiramisu,
cheesecake, chocholate cake, and what else… Watermelon (my favorite)

Vegas was pretty Cool.

When you stayed inside that is…

Outside was HOT HOT HOT… 112 degrees per my car’s thermometer

(I saw it go up to 117 but did not think of taking a picture then)

And the California Agricultural checkpoint on our way back home

And…

Hey everyone,

I was working with a friend to put up a bar to support the overloaded
branches of my fig tree a couple of days ago (I LOVE figs,
especially my home grown ones :), when I heard a weird
noise coming from behind a bucket that was laying around
by the fig tree…

I wasn’t sure what it was at first until my friend pushed the
bucket to the side.

We were both stunned to find this abandonned kitten
laying right there on the ground.

The vet said its like 2 weeks old and if I want to give
it up for adoption it has to be 6 weeks. So we decided
to take care of it at least until it turns 6 (weeks that is)

We are trying to figure out a name for it. (its male btw)
Please post your comment below with your name
ideas.

I know my friend Joel Comm has a dog named
Socrates so at first I was thinking on naming it “Joel”
I am still pondering with that idea…

Take a look at the pictures and let me know what
you think.
Kitten in Socrates Palm

Look how tiny this thing is…

Here is the kitten (notice I am wearing my favorite T-Shirt)

Oh… Spooky was getting jealous so I had to post a picture of his
lazy ass too.

Post your comment below and help me pick a name for this
creature.

Have a fantastic day

I ‘ve spend the last 2 weeks on the
phone consulting and developing
strategic plans with clients.

Shockingly I discover that over
90% of the people I talked to, are
making the “poor man’s” mistake.

See, setting a SPECIFIC goal is critical
for your success.

BUT…

Setting a GOAL that is UNREALISTIC
for your methods of trying to achieve
that goal, is suicide.

Let me explain…

Lets say your goal is to fill up an
Olympic sized swimming pool with water.

Can be done right? I see them filled up
all the time.

Now, if you are trying to fill up the
pool within 2 hours, the degree of difficulty
increases DRAMATICALLY.

But it is not impossible

If your goal is to fill up the pool within
2 hours time by using your *garden hose*, then my
friend, you have set your self up for a disaster.

That is an UNREALISTIC Goal considering your
plan to get you there.

Reaching 10K-20K/month within a year’s time
with the internet is a common goal among the people I talk to.

However, most people that try to achieve that
goal, will never get there because they are using
the wrong plan to do so.. It is no different than
trying to fill up the swimming pool in 2 hours
with their garden hose.

Not only you need to have a specific GOAL, you need to
make the RIGHT plan to get you there.

If your goal is to get to New York from Los Angeles in
5 hours, you better take a direct flight. It’s a realistic
goal. People do it every day. If you insist on driving,
you will NEVER MAKE IT on time. When you insist on
driving, your goal becomes an UNREALISTIC one.

So, set a GOAL with a Plan to achieve it.
A Goal without a plan is just a dream.
A Goal with an Unrealistic plan is a waste of time.

Re-evaluate your Goals TODAY.

It made me so sad to realize this fact, that I decided
to offer a Bonus BIGGER than any bonus I ve offered
before.

I decided to help you personally develop YOUR
strategic plan to reach your Goal. I will get on
the phone with you for 45 min and turn your business
around.

Apparently this bonus is very limited by my time and
it available on first come first serve basis.

Here is how to claim this free bonus ($800 value)
when you grab my latest PLR special, you will
find big yellow announcement on the thank you page
that will tell you EXACTLY how to get your 45-minute
strategy session with me.

The PLR package is located here:
http://mydigitaldispatch.com/recommends/memorial_big_pack

If you got this PLR package before, then
go back to the download page and look for the
announcement.
(NOTE:
Please don’t email me for the link to the download page.
If you lost it, please re-order. the price of this
package is so ridiculous for the value of this bonus.)

Why did I put the bonus on the thank you page of
this package?

Because my time is very valuable. By having to jump
through this hoop to get there, you prove to me that
you are somewhat serious about your success.

Talk to you soon

Today something really screwed up happened
to me and I wanted to share with you for a couple
of reasons.

1. I wanna get it out of my chest
2. You might wanna make sure this doesn’t happen to you

Let me tell you what happened.

I have a dedicated server with this company called “ThePlanet”
that I host some of my websites on. (I have other dedicated
servers with other companies as well)

At 9am today, sales stopped!

I checked my sales stats around 11am I thought
it was just getting slow today, then I left for some
meetings.

I got back around 6pm PST to find out that there
were no sales since 9. That was odd and out of
normal since tons of subscribers have been ordering
my latest Greek Easter special all day long since Sunday

I checked to find out that NONE of my payment
links worked all day because the planet unplugged the
server that hosts my payment system (and some websites).

UNPLUGGED MY SERVER!

You know what that means?
That I have to lose thousands of dollars in sales
and frustrate my subscribers and website visitors,
because some idiot did not update my email address
in their systems.

Let me explain what happened:

on Feb 4th I opened a ticket and asked for my
email address to be updated. I got confirmation
that it was done. (see pic below)

emailchange.jpg

At some point the credit card I had in file
with them expired. they claim to have sent
an email to me letting me know they would
be taking my server offline if I did not pay them…

The sent the email at the OLD email address.
so I NEVER GOT IT
No courtesy phone call, no nothing.
so they UNPLUGGED the server

So they apologized and “waived” the $50
reconnection fee. They said they will
“investigate” why my email was not updated
when I was told it was.

backon.jpg

I am still waiting for a manager to call me
back.

At least I got my server back online at 7pm and
probably be looking to move to a company
that gives me the courtesy of a phone call
before unplugging my business at will.

I thought you wanted to know that someone
like THEPLANET can unplug your business at
any time if you fail to get their email.

If you tried to take advantage of my latest
crazy GREEK EASTER SPECIAL but you were
unable to do so today, go below to grab
your copy before it’s gone:

Thank you for bearing with my frustration
Best regards
-Socrates

P.S. I will be soon posting a new treasure
on the blog. Stay tuned
