The Third 30-Day IM Challenge Begins… Are You Ready?

I know I’ve been a bit quiet the last few days. I decided to take a short, impromptu vacation.
Before I tell you WHY I would decide to take an impromptu vacation, let me tell you what we’ve been up to the last few days …
The last time I wrote you, we were just leaving Burlington, VT en route to Las Vegas, NV.
We don’t have to be in Vegas until JV Alert Live kicks off from October 17th through October 19th. (If you’re able to join us, you’ll find all the details at: http://www.askggg.com/jvalert )
For the first time in the 4 years that we’ve been on the road, we FINALLY don’t have a super tight travel schedule! We can actually have a leisurely drive this trip and take our time getting to where we’re going.
That’s what got me to thinking …
As we left Burlington, VT we traveled south along Lakes Champlain and George, through the Adirondack mountains. We’d never been through this part of the country before and the views were simply breathtaking!
As we turned onto 90 traveling west through upper New York, I reviewed the GPS to see if we had any other mountains along our route. I couldn’t believe just how many really awesome places we’d be passing near or through! Places like …
* NIAGRA FALLS …
I haven’t seen the falls since I was 6 years old. My husband hasn’t ever been there. When I saw that our best friends, Doug and Teri Champigny, lived less than 15 minute from the Falls, I knew we couldn’t pass this stop up without saying hello!
* PITTSBURGH, PA …
Ok, maybe this might not sound like a place to see, but let me tell you, there’s some really cool stuff in Pittsburgh! And some great people, too, including our friend Mike Steup.
* CLEVELAND, OH …
Home to all of my cousins, aunts, uncles, and extended family. Maybe we can pay them an unexpected visit?
* NOTRE DAME, IN …
Not only my alma mater, but my favorite college football team as well! (My inlaws live only minutes away from the stadium too!) I had to wonder if there was some way we could arrange to be driving through on a home game day.
* MOUNT RUSHMORE, SD …
Ok, so this one isn’t directly on the route, but it’s only a few hundred miles out of the way. We’ve never been to this part of the country so we’ve never seen Mount Rushmore, the Badlands, or any of the myriad of other attractions and destinations. Maybe we should take the detour and spend the day?
I can go on and on with the hundreds of other places I saw along our route, but I’ll save them for my next email to you, so I can get to the point of why I’m telling you about all of this …
As I plotted the course and dreamed of the destinations, I was struck by one single thought … I remembered WHY we set out in our RV almost 4 short years ago.
… Back then I had only months to live.
… Back then I vowed to live each day as if it were my last and to make every second count.
… Back then, my primary goal in life was to spend as much time as I could creating as many memories as possible with the love of my life, with whatever short amount of time we had left together.
WHAT CHANGED?
Why is it that these days we almost never take the time to see any sights along our trips?
Why is it that today we almost never plan on going somewhere just because we haven’t been there before?
Why is it that today life seems to be nothing more than a Google Calendar filled with appointments and more work?
How easy it is to FORGET the things that are most important in our lives!
How easy it is to get side tracked from your life’s true purpose!
How easy it is to let yourself get so wrapped up in all of life’s distractions that you forget WHY you are doing all those things in the first place!
As I came to these realizations for myself, I also had one big AH HA moment as I concluded that …
Although I had been overlooking what had driven me to do all this “doing” 4 years ago, it wasn’t too late to remember what had caused that drive in the first place!
When I set out in my RV, my “Mission” was to both spend quality time with Bill and to create memories with him along the way.
But after my miraculous transformation, I took on a new mission …
… Helping 1,000,000 people learn to live the life of their dreams by building a business using the power of the internet.
With this new mission driving me forward, I forgot to live the life of my dreams at the same time!
So that’s why I disappeared the last few days … I’ve been spending some much desired quality time with the love of my life, while visiting dear friends and visiting Niagra Falls.
In the process, I’ve also been re-formulating the plan for fulfilling my mission and doing it in a way that still has Bill and me living the life of our dreams too!
* When was the last time you spent some real quality time with someone you love?
* When was the last time that you really spent an entire day in a way that you normally would only dream about?
* Have you EVER had a whole weekend that you would consider “living the life of your dreams”?
After just spending the last 48 hours living the life of my dreams and loving every minute of it, let me give you a HUGE piece of advice …
LIFE IS WAY TOO SHORT TO TAKE THINGS FOR GRANTED!
Life is WAY TOO SHORT to waste ANY time being so wrapped up in the “doing” of things that SEEM important and forgetting the things that really do matter the most!
If you’ve been neglecting the things that matter most in your life … or worse yet, if you don’t even know what those things are, then it’s time to make a change RIGHT NOW!
Don’t wait until tomorrow. You could be hit by a bus the next time you get into a car.
Don’t wait until next week or next month. You could find yourself being stricken by some incurable illness or dropping dead of a heart attack.
I’m not trying to scare you into action here. These are very real possibilities! They happen much too often to people who were putting off spending time on things that really matter just a few days longer –
waiting until some big project was finished.
My point is … life is simply WAY TOO SHORT to put off the things that really matter even for a second!
You’ve got to get yourself on track NOW!
How can you live the life of your dreams from here on out, every single day?
What can you do to ensure that you’ll never again take the things that really matter for granted?

T was beginning to work through the 30 day challenge and have ran into a significant obstacle. As I started working through Step 2 - Target Markets, I discovered to get the keywords lists as stated from compete.com that it only returns five keywords and requires a minimum $199/mo subscription to get the rest.
Am I missing something/someway to use this “free’ tool?

Hi Walt:
I can’t tell you how upset I’ve been about Compete.com. Until September 1st it was COMPLETELY free. However, they’ve obviously changed their site since then and now they have these paid subscriptions. Oddly enough, they have had 2 or 3 different plans posted over the course of the last 4 weeks — sometimes they’ll let you do as many as 20 searches before charging you, others they’ll only allow 1 search.
Another alternative (although it doesn’t give you quite as much info) is located at:
http://adlab.msn.com
This is a collection of tools. Just mouse over the “Tools” tab and you’ll see what I mean. There are a number of keyword research tools, but none shows the info quite the way that Compete.com does. However, it also has another helpful tool called “Determining Commercial Intent”. What this does is tell you, for any keyword or any URL, whether visitors are “Non-Commercial”, “Commercial-Informational” or “Commercial-Transaction”.
If a visitor is “Non-Commercial”, they have no intention whatsoever of buying anything. They are merely looking for information.
If a visitor is “Commercial-Informational”, they are interested in BUYING info products (either digital or physical).
If a visitor is “Commercial-Transactional”, they are interested in BUYING either physical products or services.
You’re looking for a level of .5 or above in these categories as it means that the visitors are likely to fall into this type of intention.
Keep in mind the reason that you are using Compete.com in the first place — you are using it to locate those keywords that visitors are actually USING to reach your competitors’
sites. Those are almost always different than the terms that your competitors use to optimize their websites. When you KNOW what terms the visitors are using, all you need
to do is to optimize for them on your site, and you should be able to jump over your competitor in the search engines. You’ll be able to see some of this when looking at data in the right column in results on Quantcast.com.
I wish that I had a way to offer you and the other Challenge members to get an extended trial of Compete.com for use during the Challenge, but so far they have been less than responsive in responding to my request. For know, the best that I can suggest is to save your 5 searches on Compete.com for your biggest competitors and use Quantcast.com to supplement what you are able to find.
Good luck!
