pay for the entire program in 7 days? [12 hours left]

Dear Trader,

With just about 12 hours left in the "second chance" release of
Instant Options Income, I'd like to give you access to the first
"Weekly Trade Report" video I sent to my new students last week...

-and the results so far are spectacular.

In this members-only video, I make 3 "weekly options" recommendations.
2 of them got filled and are on track to create $840 in "instant
income" in 7 days.

Not bad for the first week. And as an Instant Options Income member,
you get 52 of these Weekly Trade Reports every year.

In fact, these first 2 trades nearly covered the enrollment fee for my
new students.

Go here to see the evidence yourself & watch last week's Weekly Trade
Report here:

http://www.instantoptions.info/evidence

But remember, enrollment CLOSES TONIGHT, so you need to sign up before
11:59pm or else you'll get locked out.

Good Trading,
Bill Poulos

p.p.s. Hurry!

Your "second chance" ends in 24 hours...

Dear Trader,

We're down to the wire for the final time...

Your "second chance" at getting my brand new Instant Options Income
weekly options program ends TOMORROW, Thursday, at 11:59pm Eastern.

That gives you a little over 24 hours before enrollment closes and I
begin personally working with my new students.

The first group coaching class actually takes place next Tuesday, so
make sure you GET IN NOW so you don't miss it.

Pay yourself a second income every Friday? [2nd chance]

Dear Trader,

Last week, I let you in on what has turned out to be one of the
biggest trading surprises of the year:

-Instant Options Income, my new weekly options video advisory service
where the goal is earn up to 2% of your total account size every
Friday...

In just about a week, the initial # of enrollments I set aside for my
new students quickly sold out, and for good reason:

* Those lucky individuals who got into the program before it closed
figured out that NOW is the best time to cash in using my unique take
on the 2-part "credit spread".

The profit potential right now is awesome & EXTRA lucrative.

------------------
YOUR SECOND CHANCE
------------------

Now that the initial wave of new student inquiries has settled down a
bit, I've decided to take on a few more new students - but only
through Thursday, June 27th at 11:59pm Eastern (New York time).

I don't know how many more I'll take on, but I know this for a fact:

* I'm only letting in a small, limited number...

* The doors close on THURSDAY...


And, it would not surprise me if I had to pull my 'second chance'
offer down early, especially if I get more students than I can
handle.

So, if you have ANY interest in getting in on what I think many
traders will end up calling THE trading event of the year, go here to
see if enrollment is still open:

Good Trading,
Bill Poulos

Instant Options Income, you can still see the training videos here for

EVERYONE can afford this options program [12 hours left]

Dear Trader,

This is it.

Enrollment for my brand new Instant Options Income program CLOSES
TONIGHT at 11:59pm Eastern.

That gives you about 12 hours to get in before I slam the doors shut.

http://instantoptions.info/closing.html

Remember, I was able to chisel down the entry investment to an
unbelievable:

* $2.73 per day over a year.

I don't know anyone who can't afford that, and I think that's why when
I opened up my program earlier this week about 1 out of 4 traders who
looked at it signed up. That's unusual.

I'm taking my new students under my wing next week with the first of 8
bonus group coaching webinars you get, so you MUST enroll right now...
otherwise you could miss it.

Get in here. This is the best deal you're going to see:

http://instantoptions.info/closing.html

Good Trading,
Bill Poulos

p.s. My first trade recommendations comes out TONIGHT at 6pm Eastern,
so you could be creating "instant income" almost immediately when you
enroll.

the big PRICE reveal... [24 hrs left]

Dear Trader,

Heads up...

I'm shutting down enrollment to my brand new Instant Options Income
program TOMORROW, Thursday, at 11:59pm Eastern.

That gives you just over 24 hours to join, depending on when you get
this note.

BTW, was the price of my program what you thought it would be?

I think everybody was surprised. As in "jaw on the floor" surprised. I
essentially removed price as a barrier to try this out if you're
serious about making options work for your account.

Here's a version of my enrollment video with the video controls
enabled so you can scrub back and forth to check everything out.

Instant Options Income weekly trade report [VIDEO]

Dear Trader,

Did you get in on my brand new "Instant Options Income" program
yesterday?

Hundreds of regular people hungry for weekly "instant income" already
joined me when I opened up the gates.

The next Instant Options Income trade recommendations come out THIS
THURSDAY in the form of a short video recording that spells out
exactly what to do.

In fact, I just posted an actual weekly trade report that I recorded a
few weeks ago so you can see exactly what you get.

See it here:

http://instantoptions.info/next-trade.html

As you'll see, I made 2 recommendations that produced "instant income"
and both ended up as net winners 7 days later.

That's exactly the goal of Instant Options Income.

Good Trading,
Bill Poulos

p.s. I will probably be forced to close enrollment on Thursday (or
sooner) because we're nearing capacity, so make sure you lock in your
enrollment while there's still time.

How to find the best stocks/ETFs for weekly options?

Dear Trader,

Weekly Options Training Video #2 from 40+ year trading expert Bill
Poulos was just published! See it here:

http://instantoptions.info/bill/method.html

In this training video, Bill reveals his 5-step "Options Optimizer"
Method that you can use to find the very best stocks & ETFs for use
with his "Credit Spread Strategy" he taught in his first video.

This is a simple step-by-step process you can follow every 7 days (on
Thursday night after the market closes) to quickly drill down to get
the highest probability and lowest risk stocks & ETFs...

This isn't about finding long-term moves - it's all about "zooming in"
on what's going to happen in the next 7 days so you can put Bill's
special 2-pronged option trade on, grab "instant income", and then
move on to the next trade.

It's all about striking quickly with tactical precision.

Get the 5 steps here & implement them this Thursday...

http://instantoptions.info/bill/method.html

Good Trading,
Martin Davies.

p.s. With this technique you only need to spend a few minutes ONCE PER
WEEK managing your trades. It's one of the laziest and most clever
ways to trade that I've seen in a long time.

Place this trade 52 times/year to earn 2%/week

Dear Trader, How does an extra "paycheck" every Friday sound? This little-known, 2-step trading technique exploits a "flaw" around how most people trade options so that you have the potential to: Earn up to 2% every 7 days, or the equivalent of 104% every year. Due to the very nature of how it works, "instant income" is deposited into your trading account every time you place this trade each Friday. Go here to download the step-by-step 'blueprint' that reveals how it's done, and follow along with the training video. I think you'll be surprised. Good Trading, Chris Lawrence p.s. Your total time investment with this technique is less than 20 minutes PER WEEK, and you collect your "instant income" every Friday. See how to make your first trade here...                                                                     Please click here if you wish to receive no further offers from us.

Options "flaw" earns 2% every 7 days [DOWNLOAD]

Dear Trader,

Recently, a 40-year trading expert stumbled upon a strange "flaw"
around how most people trade options that led him to discover a simple
technique that almost anyone can use to potentially:

* Earn up to 2% every 7 days, or the equivalent of 104% every year.

It all has to do with a special 2-part trade that automatically
creates "instant income" that's deposited into your trading account
every time you place the trade.

Go here to download the step-by-step 'blueprint' that reveals how it's
done, and follow along with the training video.

I think you'll be surprised.

Dr Kim Bloomer On EO's

Terry Tillaart:

DrKim Bloomer in summary what would you as an ND say about oils being dangerous? And does quality play a role in the safety factor?

"Absolutely quality plays a major role. The article you shared about Gary Young's first experience with essential oils was very similar to mine. I tried the store bought junk a few times and I had sworn off EOs altogether as being "bogus". Then when my Mastiff had issues and the status quo made things even worse, well I decided it was time to dive headlong into natural health. I began researching and found an ancient healing arts center and met my YL sponsor. He wanted me to try a variety of oils, etc. and I thought - no way not that junk. Well after he sent me the animal products from YL and I tried them on my dog, and they worked. Guess what? I became intrigued. By the way I noticed a HUGE difference in the smell in the Animal Scents Ointment alone. I had not even tried the actual EOs yet. I joined YL but didn't do anything for FOUR months. I joined some YL Yahoo groups like the Joy group and a horse/pet group. I learned a lot. And actually became envious of the healing successes everyone was experiencing. I ordered the basic kit. When I first tried lavender I could not believe it. I slept like a baby that night and fell in love with the eos. Then I ordered SEVERAL kits lol and the EODR. I have not looked back. I would never, ever, ever use any other oils on myself but definitely NEVER with animals. They are too sensitive to even chance it. Those store bought oils or oils that claim to be "therapeutic" with no science backing their claims are just plain dangerous - even more so with animals IMO." -----  Dr. Kim Bloomer

The Gift of Listening Posted on Jun 03, 2013 05:00 pm By Richard Brooke Ever been chatting with someone and, before you can even finish your sentence, they interrupt to share their own thought or finish yours for you? Or perhaps you are in the middle of making an important point and their attention is pulled away as they check their ringing cell phone, send an email or reply to a text message. We've all watched someone we are talking to nod and even mutter "uh huh" – knowing all the while they didn't really hear a word we just said. These are conversations that leave people feeling unheard and unimportant, and they happen to all of us every day. In fact, most of us are guilty on a regular basis of listening to others in this same way. You have all heard the cliché about why humans have two ears and only one mouth. The level at which I intend to encourage you to listen here, would require that cliché to be updated to a ratio of four or five ears to one mouth. If you think about how easy it is to offend someone with your mouth and how impossible it is to offend someone with your ears … well, you get the point. Listening at the level described here is a discipline and an art that will pay big dividends in your personal relationships and in your business endeavors. When you practice this level of listening, you will provide people around you with a gift that they have rarely been given in their lifetime. The Gift of Listening is simply listening with a commitment to hear exactly what another person is saying. Hearing what they are intending to say but are not; even hearing what they are purposely not saying. More importantly, it is hearing what the other person is feeling … their words merely an attempt at expressing those feelings. You may be feeling scared or mad or sad or happy. The artful listener will feel what it is you feel, and let you know the communication has landed. Listening at this level requires, first and foremost, a commitment to "source" the other person. This is an emotional and spiritual gift. You must be willing to give the other person the validation, acknowledgment and esteem they are seeking. Think about what really happens when two people come together in a conversation. They could be talking about the weather, sports, politics, business or simply what they did last weekend. Each person comes to the conversation with an unconscious addiction to "being heard." They want the other person to hear their point, their story, their opinion, their accomplishments, and their feelings on the subject. They are usually politely persistent, and they want the last word. Imagine what it looks like, sounds like and feels like to have these two agendas collide. Neither person is heard; neither is validated. Feelings are hurt or, at best, not nurtured. The result is an emotional train wreck. Empowerment, self-esteem, friendship, relationship and love are overlooked—or even damaged. Giving the gift of listening starts with you setting aside, for the moment, your agenda to be sourced in a conversation. Just make the commitment at the beginning of the conversation to have it be "all about the other person." You do not have to do this in every conversation, just the ones in which your goal is for the other person to walk away feeling better about themselves than before they spoke to you. Funny, but in every case they will also feel better about you … much better than if you tried to create the same feelings by making the dialogue "all about you." The second thing you must do to listen at this level, is to start listening with your body, your heart and your intuition—instead of your mind. The superficial way you and I were taught in school to listen, is with our conscious mind. That is the part of our mind that discerns between right and wrong, hot and cold, good and bad. It is the part of us that has formed opinions on everything we have ever heard, read, experienced or just thought about. Most of us go through life managing our affairs with all the information and opinions we have amassed in our conscious mind. When using your conscious mind to listen, the result looks like an argument or a competition, or that you just plain aren't interested. I tell you about my weather and you respond by telling me about yours. The thing is, I don't care about your weather and you don't care about mine. I tell you what I did this weekend and you think doing that is a waste of time. I tell you I think so-and-so should have done things this way and you disagree, if not verbally at least that is what you are thinking … and how you are listening. There are other parts of you designed for far superior listening. Your body actually listens. It feels impressions of whether things said are true or false, authentic or contrived. It uses your emotions, your intuition, your unconscious mind all wrapped up in a spiritual self that, given the opportunity, can really hear the entire message. Again, it is hearing what is said, what is intended to be said, what is not said, and what is felt. To give yourself the opportunity to listen with these tools, you must have a clear intention to use them and not use your conscious mind. You accomplish this by agreeing to source the other person. To do this you will want to quiet your mind. Listen from a clean slate. Wipe clean your opinions about this person. Wipe clean from your thoughts what you want out of this conversation, other than to completely and fully be there for this person. Wipe clean the mindless chatter that keeps you from being fully present in this moment for this person and for what they want you to hear. This means if you hear your mind commenting on what the other person is saying, you stop yourself and recommit or "represence" yourself. Do this throughout the conversation as often as you need to, in order to stay present. The third step to the Gift of Listening is to take a look at what is referred to as your habitual listening or your "already, always listening." Each of us has at least one habitual listening we use to filter conversations. Habitual Listenings I already know this; therefore, I do not really need to listen. Get to the point. I do not have time for all the preamble. I know where you are going with this and will help you get to the end. Whatever you have, I have better. Hurry up and finish so I can show you mine. I disagree with your position; therefore I will not listen further. I am preoccupied with my own life story; I cannot pay attention to yours. I am so overwhelmed with who you are, I cannot hear what you are saying. Identify your habitual listenings and practice recognizing when they are in play. Knowing about them, and being willing to shut them off, is half the battle. Here are some new Empowering Habitual Listenings you may replace them with: I am here to hear all you have to say. I am here to feel all you are feeling. I am here to hear what you are not saying, as well. I am here to source you, to empower you, to get what it is you want me to get about you. It is all about you today. Your story is the only story. Your opinions carry opportunities for me to learn. Your concerns are valid for you and today are my concerns, as well. Today I see things through your eyes, hear through your ears and feel with your heart. In this conversation, you speak and I listen … really listen. The fourth step is to ask Hunch-Led Questions. During these kinds of conversations you will feel questions that might be asked, either for clarification or to further the conversation down a path. Hunch-led questions need to be asked. Asking them will enrich the discussion. They are questions almost begging to be asked. They are, however, different from questions that you think up with your conscious mind. The difference with Mind Questions is that they have an agenda to them. Mind questions think they already know the answer, and want to show they are right. Mind questions have opinions behind them. Mind questions have been thought out. If you find yourself entertaining any question that smells like this, do not ask it. If you find yourself with a hunch-led question ask it, even if you think it is too intrusive, too bold, or none of your business. If it is a hunch-led question, it is begging to be asked. Listening at this level may seem like it takes a lot of energy and time. It may and it may not, depending on the person and topic. You can apply this level of listening to a 30-second conversation or a three-hour one. Either way you will provide the other person with an extraordinary experience. The single most impactful word that describes what is accomplished here is "honoring" another person. This is truly a spiritual experience for people, along the lines of unconditional love. Honoring people at this level is probably not something anyone has done for them since they were in the formative years with Mom and Dad, or the romance months of a new love. Applying this level of listening to any relationship—whether business or pleasure—will expand your horizons tenfold. You will have people wanting to be in your presence … for no other reason than they find you interesting and feel better about themselves when they are with you. Although a lot of what is offered here may not have been used in the following story, it is a great testimony to the power of listening: Be the Most Interesting Person They Have Ever Met Decades ago the editors of Psychology Today magazine staged an experiment to establish the effects of listening and asking easy, probing questions. Staff members flew to LAX from New York. The editor flew in later, with the intention of meeting his seatmate and getting to know him on the five-hour flight. For the duration of the flight, the Psychology Today editor asked questions and listened. He asked more questions based on what he felt his seatmate wanted to talk more about, and avoided areas he felt he didn't. His total "purpose for being" during the five hours, was to have the conversation be all about his seatmate. As suspected, throughout the flight the seatmate never asked anything about the editor, not even his name. As the seatmate disembarked the plane, the staff for Psychology Today was there to interview him. They simply asked him what he thought about the man seated next to him on the flight (the Psychology Today editor, whose name he did not even know). He responded: "He was the most interesting man I have ever met." Moral of the story: Being interesting may have nothing to do with your deeds, your opinions or your stories, but rather your interest in others. In my brief 30-plus years of being in the supercharged people business, I have seen clearly that we spend most of our waking moments in an addictive unconscious quest to be known, honored and loved. We need to be trusted, admired and respected, as well. We go to great lengths to feed this addiction from the money we seek to earn, to the good deeds we make sure we get done, to the stories we tell of it all. Knowing how important it is to all of us, imagine how unique a gift you can be to your ever-widening circle of influence by just giving it to them in every conversation. The gift of listening is the gift of healing. – Richard Click here to read, share and comment
