Not everyone has Gmail, but a lot of people do. I wonder how many Gmail addresses are on your potential customer email list? (in terms of a percentage)

The reason I wonder this, is because I've noticed that since the update to Gmail's SPAM filters recently, all of the newsletters I don't regularly pay attention to (or not at all) end up in the SPAM folder.

So my thought is two-fold:

1) What percentage of your email marketing list is comprised of Gmail...

I've noticed that when I find a blog post that I'm interested in tweeting...when I click the button or link to do so...the automated Twitter message does not contain the Twitter user name of the blogger.

If you don't have a Twitter account, fine. But if you do...go into your blog settings and make sure your Twitter @username is being displayed in the automated text for blog posts that get tweeted.

When you go to a single's bar...you go there to meet someone for the first time. Someone who doesn't have a clue who you are, what you do, and doesn't trust you as far as they can throw you.

For your online business, the "single's bar" I'm referencing is the constant sourcing of new leads for your business via squeeze pages, social media tools, seminars, face to face, whatever. Your new prospects don't know you, don't really know what you're selling, and don't trust you...

"XYZ Affiliate Network doesn't pay on time..."

"Mr./Mrs. Guru won't help me..."

"Man, I wish my vendors delivered as promised..."

I'm a BIG proponent of self-accountability.

This is an enormous hot button for me...I throw up in my mouth almost every time I hear the whining, moaning, groaning, and complaining about what goes wrong, who does it wrong...and why there aren't any shortcuts to make business so easy...

The Warrior Forum...why do you use it?

Do you even have a specific plan or purpose for logging into WF? If not, shouldn't you? Or...do you like standing by and watching dollar bills fly out the window?

Your time is valuable people, and it's a non-renewable asset (meaning once it's gone, it's gone)...so why waste it here on WF without a plan or purpose?

To making more dollars and sense,
