Would you like to be making more and working less? If you're like most people you'd settle for just ONE of those. It boils down to focus, time management, productivity - and not just working hard, but working smart.

Those things all sound easy in concept, but they're a bit more difficult in actual practice, as you've probably already discovered by now...

I like to study how "the successful" are doing it. How they manage their time, what they outsource, what tools and systems they have in place, etc. I am constantly watching how others are managing their online business, and use those "swipe files" to improve my own. It's how I've gotten as far as I have over the years!

On Friday September 14th, Paul Evans & Carrie Wilkerson are going to share all in their DIY E.S.C.A.P.E. Event. I've read through that page several times now and it doesn't say, so I'm anxious to find out what "ESCAPE" stands for exactly.

If you know either one of them, they *seem* like they're working around the clock between their families and traveling and constant product releases… but they aren't. They obviously have something figured out, and I'm tuning in to see what it is!

** Don't worry if you can't tune in live on Friday. If you sign up before the deadline on Thursday evening, you'll get lifetime access to the replay and ALL of the bonuses.

If you're familiar with Paul & Carrie's DIY events, you already know that most of them cost $147. They often have early bird discounts for $97 - but this event has a $100 coupon code right on the sign-up page! That coupon code is good this week only, as are the bonuses, so you'll want to check it out TODAY.

Speaking of bonuses, you'll get business planning templates, a goal setter & tracker, their Time Machine software, the Clarity Map, a Follow-up Q&A Call, and much more when you register for the live training event.

See a list of all the bonuses here...

The live event is on Friday, September 14th from 9am to Noon Central Time. Of course, the replay & bonuses will be available to you indefinitely to use & review at your leisure. I'm tuning in myself, and recommend you at least check it out and see if this is something that will be instrumental in reaching YOUR online business goals.

Streamlining is absolutely critical if you want to take your business to the next level, or even if you just want to improve your quality of life. I've making great strides in that area myself over the last few months. It doesn't matter if you've been in business 15 days, or 15+ years like me, productivity and better time management / workflow is something you can always improve!

And if there's one thing I've learned over the years, all it takes is one small change or one new idea to ultimately make a HUGE difference in your business. That's why I continue to study various models and productivity tips from other successful people.

You'll want to check this out today as the live event is just a few days away, and the coupon code is only good for a short time. And if you want ALL of the cool bonuses, you'll want to sign up before the deadline on Thursday evening.

Best,

p.s. Sure, it will take time to listen in. (I'll be multi-tasking and getting a workout on my Gazelle while listening -lol). But what would it be worth to you to finally get things moving in the right direction, and take your business to the next level?

A LOT!

My daughter and I both spend quite a bit at iTunes between her iPhone 4s, and my iPod and iPad. But this week I found Iomoio for mp3 music downloads - and I was *shocked* at the price difference!

On top of being MUCH cheaper than iTunes, when you set up an account at Iomoio you get two free tracks. Very cool. Perfect timing too, as I was just organizing my music and playlists. I use my iPod a lot while working, driving and on my morning walks.

Just to give you a couple of examples, "Bad Influence" by Pink is $1.29 on iTunes. It's only 16 cents on Iomoio! And the new album released by Jason Mraz earlier this year, "Love Is a Four Letter Word", costs $14.99 on iTunes. At Iomoio you can get the same album with all 12 tracks... for only $1.92.

If you're buying mp3 songs online, you might as well get the best possible price. There's no monthly subscription or other hidden fees. Tracks are $0.16 USD each with tax already included.

All of their files are iPod, iPhone, and PDA compatible - or you can burn the MP3 files straight to a CD. Do people still do that? I'm big on the legalities of course, so I checked into that as well. Here's what I found on their Help page:

Q: Is your web site legal?

Yes, the availability over the Internet of the Iomoio.com materials is authorized by the license # IT - 08/10 and IT - 08 - 01/10 of the Ukrainian Public Organization "Avtor" issued for Beowner Ltd. All these materials are solely for personal use. Any further distribution, resale or broadcasting is prohibited.

Q: If your web site is legal, how can you sell music for $0.16/track compared to iTunes $0.99/track?

A: Our company and licensing authority is located outside U.S. area and we do not have to follow $0.99/track minimum regulations.

Where do you get your music downloads? I admit, I just automatically used iTunes without researching other options. But I'm really glad I found Iomoio! I'm off to download a whole slew of new music and update my playlists. I would love to hear your thoughts after browsing through the site...

And yes, I like Jason Mraz (so far). I heard "I Won't Give Up" on the radio just this week and loved it. There's also a song on the album titled "Living In The Moment" that I'm off to check out. It may just be my new theme song for the year. *cheers*

Best,
