Getting Started - Aim For The Bottom!
When using an axe to split logs, it's awfully tempting to aim at the top of the log.
After all, if you miss the log entirely, it's dangerous or at the very least, ineffective. One can argue that if you don't split the top, it's pointless—nothing else will happen.
The problem with aiming at the top is that the axe loses momentum before its work is done and you end up with a stuck axe and half a split log.
No, the best approach is to focus on splitting the bottom of the log. Split the bottom and the top takes care of itself.
Amplification: some of my smartest and fastest-reading readers (and some with experience in log splitting) missed the point of the post above. I'm not Gary Larson, so I guess I should clarify.
I'm not talking about turning the log upside down or some other semantic trick. I'm pointing out that if you aim at the top (at getting started), then you don't split the wood. If you aim at the bottom (by way of the top) then you do. Hitting the top of the log isn't, the point, it's merely the beginning of the stroke. In other words, don't focus so much on starting something. It's the follow through that will get you there, so the beginning must be with the end in mind. And yes, this actually makes wood chopping far easier.

Lust Greed and Generating Leads
Underneath all the spit and polish, flashy websites and great sales copy, if you can’t generate leads for your business your going precisely nowhere.
Generating leads for your business, your products or services has always been at the heart of a good business model.
No Leads=No Sales=No Cashflow=Business Failure
Maybe that’s why there are so many web sites displaying success in terms of expensive looking cars and pictures of cash flowing out of computer screens.
These images ‘attract’ us to their promises of great financial success. If only it was that easy to make money online right?
Whether you believe in the promise or your sceptical ( that’s us Brit’s) there is no doubt that it works. Appealing to our inner child or psyche is very powerful indeed. Personally I’m a sucker for it! Usually a great picture followed by some good copy is enough for me to ‘check it out’.
That said I hope you like the picture and here’s a link, Lead Getting System go check it out!
If your in business or your kicking tyres contemplating starting a business online, then your going to need leads. They are the lifeblood of your business, everything starts there. Generating a steady flow of leads into your business funnel used to be expensive, hell, it still is unless…….
You actually have a lead getting system!
Flash websites mean nothing if you haven’t learned how to build a system that actually gets visitors to your site, gives those visitors value, and then turns those visitors into customers or prospects for your business, products or services.
This is for serious players only! If your currently spending your time looking for something for nothing then good luck with that. If your ready to look like a pro, click the link Look Like A Pro
