Ok, so after doing a bit of research, it’s looking like my real mail list options are phpList and DadaMail.
All that’s left to do is join the let’s find out club and move forward. I’m going to start with phpList.
Wish me luck.

The install went easy enough, but it’s probably going to take me another hour to get things actually rolling. I would have loved an install that fully got things going and at the end you had a 2 e-mail mail campaign that would be sent to the list admin as a test. Oh well, hopefully I’ll get back to it before the end of the month.
I’m a big fan of Getting Things Done (GTD). It’s an elegant, almost simple, set of disciplines and systems that promises “Stress-Free Productivity”. However, like anything worth doing, those disciplines and systems require dedication to get the most out of them. The following is a short list of the GTD systems that work together. The discipline is keeping them up to date. The freedom comes when they *are* up to date.
System One – The Master Project List – Every project (defined as something you want to get done that requires more than 2 tasks, taking longer than 2 minutes) that you want to accomplish in your life. All down on paper (or in a system somewhere)
System Two – The Filing System – Active projects, Reference files, Archives
System Three – Your Tickler System
System Four – Your Calendar
System Five – The Waiting On System
System Six – The Next Action List
System Seven – Your In-Basket
System Eight – Your Weekly Review
Your homework for the week:
1) Tell me what you would accomplish if you achieved “Stress-Free Productivity”
2) If you are already a GTD fan, tell me how your story of getting your systems to work together.
If you are coaching someone, and that person is failing to complete their assignments, there is a good chance that your coachee has either lost connection to their vision, or their vision has expired. Riding your coachee about the failure is pointless, they don’t care anymore.
Assignment failure is only a trip wire for noticing vision disconnection. This is where you as a coach get to visibly and dramatically do your job; vision creation.
Lets assume that at one point in the past, your coachee had a vivid compelling vision of their future. A future that was so bright they had to wear shades. A vision that was so compelling that you had problems getting them to get enough sleep because they are so busy driving towards the fulfillment of their vision.
Now they don’t have that connection anymore.
So how do you get them back in touch with their vision? How do you create one in the first place?
I’ll be coming back to this question, I think you’ll like my approach. But in the mean time, what’s your approach?
Ну и чё с ними делать… Меня достали на моём блоге я устала вычищать…
I have no idea what is being said here, I don’t even know what language it’s in. Is it spam or is it someone telling me how awesome and amazing my blog is. I don’t know, and I don’t know what other people are doing with this.
Until further notice, if I get a post that is completely non-English, I will be marking it as spam. If someone can offer me a good reason to have a different policy, I’m all ears.
Ok Successies, going with the philosophy of “ready-fire-aim” I just blindly added “Post Notification” to my WordPress site (yes, what you are reading at this very second). The goal is to give you elite subscribers a notification when the site is updated. The goal is also to NOT spam you. If it doesn’t work, I’ll be pulling it off the site and trying something else.
Before you go, I’ve got a quick question for you while we’re here.
What is that question? I’m glad you asked.
It’s really simple, “Why are you here at ‘How much success can you handle’?” Are you looking to administer your wordpress site (cuz that’s what I seem to be talking about the most), or are you more interested in the nominal topic of this blog, which is taking the game of your life to the next level? Either way, I thank you for being here.
As a quick warning, if you thought that this blog was going to be, “everything is rosy, all the time” then you thought wrong. The road to success is full of pot-holes. Deep, suspension destroying pot-holes.
I am involved in an organization called Toastmasters, and last week, my member speech blew chunks. Toastmasters is a global organization dedicated to improving the art of public speaking.
Bottom line, this week, my speech was “good enough” it wasn’t horrible, I spoke, I was coherent, I had a minimum of distracting habits, but it wasn’t practiced, or polished. It had no structure. None.
It really had me thinking, where else am I “good enough”? Where am I just phoning it in? Conversely, where are you just phoning it in. Where in your life and your business have you reached “good enough” and what could be possible if you were to take it up a notch to “good”?
Some how or other I got my “Allow people to post comments” setting turned to unchecked.
I apologize to everyone who has been wanting to comment on my various posts but has not been able to. Take a shot at subscribing to my blog, this should have the effect of allowing you comment with out being moderated.
Ok, I don’t know how to do this yet but I’m wondering if you do?
I’ve ignored this blog for about 3 or 4 weeks and have gotten roughly 10 spam comments a week. I take that as a hint that I’ve got a good potential for traffic with my focus on success.
Anyway, with my current Word Press settings, I get notified when I approve a comment, but not when one comes in. Obviously this doesn’t do *me* any good. Does anyone know where I can find this information?
