![]() Thanks Dien,
You won't believe this. But I just got in and out of a Toyota Dealership without spending any Munny. It's a Miracle. Maybe this Experience of Getting Prepared to Be Killed (By a Car Dealer) Like a Steer at the slaughter-house has already happened to you but it was New to me. (EDITORS NOTE - When I was a kid we raised steers to keep the grass down in our fields. And took them to a local Slaughter-House. The idea was to make our own Steaks and burgers. But we did the math. Cheaper to order at the store. My Point is there is a Process the Slaughter-House Father and Son took the Steers Thru before they killed them. I'll Spare you the gory details.) Here's my Referral System Experience. I just got back - so I've got all the details in my head. I - I get a BRIGHT YELLOW Recall notice in the mail. Turns out if you use your truck a lot AND slam the 1/2 door behind the drivers seat - Your Seat Belt Bolts MAY Come loose. (RECALL!) II - Then I'm hauling wood and a BRIGHT Red MESSAGE Flashes up on the dash board... "MAINT REQD" This had me a bit Rattled. Maybe something major was about to go wrong. I could Crash. Electrical fire. No antifreeze. No oil. III - Before I could Investigate that "Warning" a NEW and MYSTERIOUS SIGN Flashed up under the Gas Gauge. Bright Yellow. Picture a Horseshoe with the open end up. Jagged Teeth along the bttm A Big Exclamation Point down the middle of the Horseshoe. Now I'm FREAKING Out. So I rush my 2010 Truck to the Dealership. #1 - I can't find The Service Dept. So I ask a Salesman. (Who is loitering around doing nothing.) #2 - He says, "Down the hall - take a right - then a left and down the stairs. #3 - These Clowns Have BANISHED the Service Department to HADES way - way down in The BASEMENT. #4 - I get down there. Men and women on both sides of the hall are hanging out half doors - like horses in stalls. I show a Brunette my Recall Notice. #5 - She says, "Oh, we don't take care of that here. You need to see Bridget Upstairs." #6 - Oh Whooppee. So Back Upstairs we go. And after consulting her Computer Bridget Informs me I need to go BACK into The Hades-like Basement - and find Dale. (An older guy with white hair.) #7 - I Thank Bridget and Hand Her a LOTTO TICKET as a Reward. Then draw Bridget my Scary DashBoard - Flashing YELLOW Horseshoe with TEETH Sign. And she says, "Oh, that means your tires are low on air. It could be just one. It could be all four. IF one is low that Warning Flashes in the dashboard." #8 - WHEW. That's a Relief. WOW - (What a SCARY SIGN for such an Unimportant tire problem. REFERRAL SYSTEM PART ONE - Gets You Back to the Dealership.) I figure my troubles are over and the Flashing Horseshoe and the "MAINT REQD" message are the same thing. #9 - WRONG - Wrong - I am Wrong again. #10 - Loretta Shows up and demands my keys. She says it will be faster if SHE drives and a service guy will pump up my ties and return my truck to me Later. I say "No". She insists. So I say, "OK, but I'm riding along." #11 - Loretta takes me to Lew - who seems to be one of the Service Managers. Lew and I go back and forth 3 or 4 times. "YES - the 2 Dashboard signals are the same. "NO - They are not. "YES - They are the same - let us Put air in your tires. And Change Your Oil. I say, "WAIT - WAIT. Well. Turns out the "MAINT REQD" Message comes on every 6 months or 5000 miles to remind you to Change your oil. Only the dealer can make it go away. #12 - I explain to Lew that I use the truck on the farm. I'm about 3000 miles SHORT of the 5000 miles. I'll be back come spring to get the oil changed whether it needs it or not. Blatantly ignoring all his computer messages. #13 - This confuses Lew. So I pull out my RECALL Notice. He Barks at Loretta, "Why didn't you tell me about this sooner?" Loretta and I agree - I DIDN'T TELL HER. #14 - Now Lew wants to shuffle all this off to be done LATER - by someone ELSE at the same time as my Seatbelt BOLTS GET Replaced. While Lew and I have a "Discussion" I watch Loretta Circling my truck with a ClipBoard Checklist like a Pirhanna Fish looking for a good place to Take a Bloody Bite. #15 - One of the Service Tech's comes in. When Blake comes Thru the door You can see the RELIEF on Lew's face. He says, "Here. Take these keys and put air in this gentleman's truck tires." #16 - Lew says, "You can wait in the waiting room, sir." #17 - I ignore Lew's Directive follow Blake and got into the passenger seat of my own Truck - again. To ride to the Repair bays. #18 - After Blake finds out that the low tire pressure is because of the 20 degree weather... He nonetheless - adds 3 lbs of pressure to all 4 tires... I Thank Him with a LOTTO ticket. And Blake says something AMAZING. "We've had 7 or 8 other drivers in here this morning Because of Low Tire Pressure. You aren't the ONLY One." HOLY COW Batman! Let's try and count the SCARY Computer Sensor REFERRAL SYSTEMS that force you to come to the Dealership - where they can LOOK for anything they can find to CHARGE You to Fix. #1 - Bridget told me there is a sensor on the spare tire too. #2 - On the Oil Level. #3 - The Brake oil levels. #4 - The Transmission oil. #5 - The coolant and the radiator. Yikes. Perhaps the Mad Scientists who installed all this stuff DIDN'T Have Up-Selling more stuff in mind. But the DEALERSHIP is sure aware of the Profit Potential. Anyway. Because I tipped several people with LOTTO TICKETS. Who gave me Extra Information. Perhaps Insider Info. I escaped without having to Pay - THIS TIME. (But the "MAINT REQD" light is still on.) Thanks, Glenn Osborn |

Thanks Glenn... I really enjoyed that story! Very funny! ![]() They sure do seem to have a very advanced referral system, with all those shocking warning lights! Your story reminded me of a recent story, too... My fiancee also drives a Toyota... She has a Prius (hybrid car). Did you know that you can use a Prius as an emergency power generator after a hurricane? Many people did after Hurricane Sandy! http://www.google.com/search?q=use+p...ower+generator So, we're ready for the next hurricane or future disaster...! Anyway, we were ready to bring her car in for the usual 6 months or so service... Here's how she managed to get extra service - for free! It actually uses one of the principles I once learned from you... ![]() About 3 weeks ago, she called the local Toyota Dealer, and asked when she could book it in for a service. The guy on the phone told her it would be around 2 weeks before they could service her car... She then said, oh that's alright, I'll just call a different Toyota dealer instead, who can perhaps do it more quickly... She didn't really want to wait around. This wasn't a ploy, she was actually planning to call a different dealer. Suddenly, the tone of the Toyotal dealer guy on the phone changed. He quickly said, they should be able to fit it in tomorrow, if she brought it in early! And what's more, they'd provide her with a free loan car for the day, too! (Usually they charge to provide you with a loan car, while your car is being serviced...) My fiancee said, okay! So... there you go... Amazingly, they were able to provide an extremely rapid improvement in service! Best wishes, Dien |

Reading all your stuff is influencing me... I met up with some friends today, and insisted on buying everyone a coffee (or hot chocolate). Will it "pay"? Actually, I don't care if it does or doesn't... It was a lot of fun to do. ![]() I guess the next step is to "pre-tip" the barista with a gift card or other gift... Will try to do something like that next time... ![]() Thanks, Glenn, for writing down these very powerful case studies, which I know can transform lives - if you put them into action (which I'm only beginning to do)...!

How Taylor Swift Makes Extra Millions w/PAY-IT-FORWARD Referrals What we do is Watch what the Super Rich and Mega Successful do and chunk their ideas down so the REST of us can Make Munny from the BIG IDEA they profit from. For Example: ONE - Taylor Swift Spent Her Own Munny to Bring 500 "Swiftie fans" to her four homes and A London Hotel. Set up a PARTY for 100 at a time. Cooked, gave gifts, Played her new 1989 Album for them. TWO - Then leased the top floor of a London Hotel AND the roof - for a Concert for a 100 more fans. (Making millions of other Swifties Jealous as the "Lucky" 100 appeared on world-wide video.) THREE - Taylor personally shopped for and hand wrote Thank you Letters to a dozen of more of her Twitter and Tumblr Fans. Especially those who did a Video - dancing to one of her songs. FOUR - Then Taylor paid $100,000.00 of her own Munny Plus got American Express to foot the bill for a "3-D Hi-Tech Horror Video" she GAVE AWAY F_R_E_E on Itunes and all over. ======== ======== Moolah RESULTS #1 - 1.2 million album sales in 5 days Moolah RESULTS #2 - Literally Millions of dollars in F-r-e-e Articles and PR about these VIP Fan Parties at her houses. Moolah RESULTS #3 - MORE Millions of dollars Because She SECRETLY and Unexpectedly bought fans PERSONAL Gifts for The Holidays. The Newspapers and on-line press hunted down the lucky fans and interviewed them. Moolah RESULTS #4 - Because of the Munny and The FUN Taylor had during the Freebie 3-D Video MOCKING the Tabloids obsession with the men she has dated - and seemingly THROWN away... She is seen Knocking a dates Headlights out with a Golf-club. A FAN HAS CREATED A HORROR FILM Edit Version of her F-r-e-e 3-D Video. QUESTION - Did you know the SCARY MOVIE Genre is easily the MOST PROFITABLE Kind of movie made? So My ESP Prediction is. YOU WILL See Taylor appearing in at least One SCARY MOVIE. Paid 20 million or more by a movie studio. OR Taylor will make a movie herself and keep ALL the munny. ============ ============ MOOLAH MAKING ACTION PLAN - The "Pay it Forward" Munny making formula Taylor uses will work for you too. For Example: I got an Email - was invited to join a $7000.00 Munny attraction series of Conference Calls. The letter said, "Say this Affirmation when you tithe or give away munny or when you tip - in order to ATTRACT the extra $7K you need to attend." I tried it. I started making munny. Thousands extra. So I attended. Would you be surprised to learn that this short Affirmation was the ONLY THING that made me munny - out of a entire 2 weeks of Conference Calls. Sigh. But. I am STILL MAKING Munny with it. Way way past the 7 grand mark. Year after year and we still attract 1000's this way. And created a Step by Step HOW-TO book from my own and Others Munny Making Experiences - so others can Share in the WEALTH. http://archive.enchantednlp.com/products.php?id=84 |

6 Foot Jennifer Lawrence Cake Contest Winner RESTAURANT Referral System The REASON WHY Nike and other Corporations pay superstars millions is that their Endorsements make TENS of Millions for their products. But GOOD NEWS. You don't have to pay some Super Star Babe 10 million to Advertise your store, shop or Restaurant. Simply hire A local Artist like -THIS Woman in the LINK PHOTOS- to build you a SuperStar CAKE. http://www.buzzfeed.com/davidmack/jlaw-takes-the-cake Notice the timing. She Chose to Bake The Jennifer Lawrence cake Just before Hunger Games #3 - Hits Theaters. Which TAKES advantage of the tens of millions of Ad and PR dollars spent promoting the film. She rode the Advertising wave to Win This National UK Contest. How Might You Adapt This Idea? Your Restaurant Can ALSO Take Advantage of all of this STAR POWER Promotional PR. Why Put a 6 foot STAR CAKE in your Restaurant Window? a - to fill your seats b - To get radio and TV coverage of your Restaurant c - Contribute to your local Community - Perhaps hold a SUPER STAR Cake Baking Contest btwn Schools for a Munny Prize. AND Don't limit yourself to Sponge Cake Action figures. Artists Do huge Ice Sculpture for weddings. Chain Saw Artisans do life-size figures in wood. Not sure how you'd get wet sand into your Restaurant. But there are some incredible sand Sculptures done in beach competitions. DIRECTIONS: #1 - Research which mega-movies are coming out next. #2 - Find a Real International SuperStar who will appear in an up-coming epic #3 - Start calling local artists, Bakeries, High school and college Art Departments And Home Economics departments. The School Principals will WELCOME you with open arms. Why? Because they need the MUNNY. All County, State and Federal Funds for Schools have been cut off. I know this because I have clients who give a Percentage of their Program or event sales to the school and their are in DEMAND. Thanks, Glenn Osborn |

Somehow, your posts always stimulate my mind... ![]() Actually, this solves a problem for me... I've done some PR work before. For example, I did some PR work for a restaurant, and got them a number of articles in various local newspapers, including a big metropolitan daily. And it worked! It generated interest, and brought customers in through the door... Many customers mentioned the newspaper articles. Not only that, but (especially with a review in a big metropolitan daily newspaper), people were traveling across town to go to the restaurant. This had never happened to them before... Now... here's the problem with PR I hadn't yet quite solved... One PR method I've read about is to "piggyback" on current events that are being written about. If it's a "big" story, many reporters are looking for a "new angle" on the story. If you can give them a new angle on the story, it could be a chance to get a mention in the newspaper/magazine/blog etc. My problem was that, check out most current events... they're very negative! It's very hard to piggyback a promotional story on news topics like - ebola, murders, kidnappings, etc. It just doesn't work... However, your idea is great... Why not piggyback on another PR event! In this case, on a big upcoming movie, guaranteed to get publicity! I love the idea... One of your earlier posts, of Chelsea Handler posing on a horse mimicking Putin (with a dash of controversy mixed in), was like that too, since Putin was clearly doing a publicity stunt, and Chelsea Handler "piggybacked" on it... Great stuff! Thanks Glenn, this is a pretty much guaranteed money making idea - if you put it into action... ![]() - Dien |

Your Name on a Bottle - "Share a COKE"- Referral Program I've been reading how people are more Health Conscious and Pepsi and Coke Sales are down. Well. Coke has RAISED their Sales by 2% in 2014 by putting most commonly used First Names on their bottles. This is a PURE Referral Play. I - Yes - You might buy a bottle with Your name on it. II - But you will ALSO buy 2 or 3 more bottles when you see the names of family, friends or co-workers on Coke Bottles. III - And if you see the names of loved ones you might STOCK UP and get a whole case with the same name on it. I just looked up Coca-cola Gross Sales for 1013. 47 billion 2% of $47,000,000,000 = $940 Million Dollars OK. The Execs at Coke have STOPPED the Program in the USA. (Perhaps drinking too much Coke makes you STUPID?) SIDE EFFECT BENEFITS - Cans with Names on them are selling on Ebay for $5 each. 500,000 photos of people or their pets with their namesake Can or bottle - #shareacoke THIS IS WEIRD... "Share-a-coke" was first Tested in Australia in 2011. Ad Agency Ogilvy Came up with it. Coke now uses it "Seasonaly" in 80 Countries. Coke took the 250 most popular names in the USA and Stuck them on cans and bottles. Chris, Jess Alex were the top 3. 6 Million VIRTUAL Named Cans and Bottles have been Created at Cokes' Website. "Seasonally" must mean - summer. Sounds DUMB to me. I'd make this a permanent fixture in my marketing. An extra Billion dollars over a summer is a nice chunk of change. Thanks, Glenn |

HAPPY HOLIDAYS GIFT - "How To SEE Aura's EXERCISE" - I Am Practicing After discovering that ALL Successful Communication Btwn People involves an Aura Energy Boost - overlap or Explosion. I started Tested Ancient Asian Exercise handed down over thousands of years that INCREASE AURA Energy. RECENTLY. I discovered 5 of my customers can SEE Aura's. And one of them just sent me this Exercise that HE SAYS - Will Rapidly allow me to SEE auras too. HERE it is... Perhaps some of you will Play with this too. And we Can SHARE our Results. Thanks, Glenn Osborn WEIRD New Idea Testing Network ====================== How to See Auras from Robert Bruce's book Evolution EXERCISE: Seeing Auras - Get some large brightly-colored objects, say a beach ball, or some large pieces of colored card you can stick to a wall. These should be single, bright, primary colors, like blue, red, green, yellow, orange. They must be bright and solid colors - The wall must be a single light pastel color, or plain white - Have the light coming from behind you, so no light or window is in your eyes. Stand several feet or more away. Point your eyes a few inches to the side of the object and then defocus your gaze, so you are gazing in a very relaxed way. This ‘unfocused’ gaze is like daydreaming. Just relax and gaze into space in that general direction - Continue gazing for a few minutes. Then move your eyes slightly towards and then to the side of the object. You’ll see an afterimage appear that is the opposite color to the prop, i.e. blue will produce yellow, red produces green, etc. Blink normally and do not think about it. Gaining the ability to see the afterimage of the colored objects tricks your unconscious mind into ENABLING you so see real auras and energy fields. And this happens very quickly. Practice until you can do this easily. Over time auras will appear to you faster and easier when you get used to this. With a little practice, you’ll be able to look directly at the subject, with a relaxed unfocused gaze, and the aura of the color will just appear. -------------- Next, do the same exercise with a person. You need BARE SKIN to see the human aura, as colored clothing grossly interferes with how a living aura appears. For example, if a person wears a red shirt, then you will only see green around this area of their body, and not the real human aura. Do exactly the same thing you did with the colored props, gazing just to the side of an area of bare skin or hair, with a relaxed unfocused gaze. The human aura will appear in much the same way as with the colored props, but this time there is no color in the subject to generate the aura colors you will see. First off, you will see a thin band of creamy color about half an inch thick close to the skin of your subject. Do not look at it. Keep gazing and the aura color will appear and extend from this. Do not change your gaze. Auras must be observed with peripheral vision. The human aura will appear, extending from the creamy color. The depth of color that appears will surprise you. First the color will appear as a thin line. If you do not look directly at it and keep your relaxed gaze steady, this will GROW thicker and thicker. If you observe different parts of your subject’s body, you’ll find different colors appearing. With practice, you will also begin to see textures and features, and later, symbols and even pictures will start to appear in your subject’s aura. In the beginning, you will need to spend at least ten minutes or so on average, gazing, to see human aura colors appear. This gets faster with practice. Just keep at it, stay relaxed, and the colors will appear. Try not to strain your eyes. You just need a relaxed gaze, not an intense stare. Intensity will work against the process and delay things. Experiment with different levels of light. This should always come from behind you. How does the above work? First off, this method gives you PERSONAL EXPERIENCE with seeing a type of aura, the auras of colors. This ‘tweaks’ your belief system filters and allows you to see other types of auras Practice makes perfect. Observe auras every day as you go about day to day your life. Use the people around you as props when they are not looking. For example... you sit on a bus, or in an office, and there is a woman several feet away facing the other way. Her neck and shoulder and arm are bare. Focus to the side and gaze until the aura appears. You can also practice viewing the auras of trees, plants, and animals. Doing this regularly will stimulate your Third Eye and cause it to develop. This is like working out every day. Your muscles steadily become fitter and stronger. In the early days it is normal to get tension headaches in the brow and eyes from doing this. Remember the Golden Rule and take a break if this starts to happen. Viewing auras regularly will stimulate your Third Eye into developing VISUAL CLAIRVOYANCE, and other psychic abilities. At all my workshops students make RAPID progress. Complete novices achieve deep states of meditation, see auras, and have out of body experiences in class, etc. I have even had students (novices and advanced) undergo full kundalini rising. This is because they work every day on altered state meditation, energy work, psychic exercises, aura viewing, etc. Added to this is the group energy, and this shows how just hanging out with other psychics rubs off energetically... as in the tuning fork analogy, where if you have several tuning forks close together and strike one of them, pretty soon they will all be vibrating in the same tone. So, get some buddies with similar interests and share and practice together. Join a meditation or psychic development group, etc... |
