I don’t know if I was born for Squidoo or Squidoo was made for me. I do know that I have found my favorite vehicle–a place to practice target marketing. I believe that everyone is in sales. By that I mean we are each trying to get our personal agenda met every day. So how do you make sales easy? Find your target market and people buy from you because you are providing them a service to buy what they want. I began my main blog, kathyberman.com (Changemaker: Reinvent Your Life), in November, 2004. After writing daily for 10-12 hours for over 2 years, I came to believe that the blog had too much information. I had decided during the first few months of blogging that I didn’t have the time to write about all I’ve learned in thirty years of recovery and answer comments.

Knowing that I would be in for a long, lonely road without comments didn’t deter me from the decision to exclude comments. I have always posted my email address and posted several times about new directions the blog was entering. Of course, my choice brought me no traffic. Although I have been consistently and continually online for over two years, I have no traffic. I read a lot of blogs that have high readership audiences and have never regretted my choice.

Naomi’s Breakthrough Guide: 20 Choices to Transform Your Life

Naomi Judd

ISBN 0-7432-3663

One of the questions for discussion in the back of the book says that Naomi Judd believes that life gives us a test first and our lesson comes later. When she was struggling as a single mom in L.A., she realized that in order to survive emotionally, she had to forgive herself and others and release unnecessary mental, emotional, and spiritual toxins. She remembered this experience when confronted with life-threatening hepatitis C, and letting go of stressors stimulated her immune system.

From all her life experiences, Naomi has included 20 choices to transform your life. These are:

1) Peace of mind is the goal

2) Change your mind, change your world

3) Life is a series of multiple-choice questions

4) You can reverse any curse

5) You can be anything you want, but first you have to understand what is standing in your way

6) Become a detective and investigate your past

7) Personality: It’s all relative

Know forgiveness, know peace—no forgiveness, no peace

9) Your strengths and passions are the essence of your happiness

10)Intuition is your secret guidance system

11)Risk allows you to become who you were meant to be

12)You’ve got to love that person in the mirror

13)You become whatever you think about all day

14)Your mind is in every cell of your body

15)Worry and fear are dispensable parasites of your brain

16)Resign as the general manager of the Universe

17)Find a new, stronger life urge

18)You and I may not have it all together, but together we

we can have it all

19)Develop the eight characteristics of a survivor personality

20)Love heals the giver as well as the receiver

The eight characteristics of a survivor personality are: (1) a strong spiritual belief, (2) a strong support system, (3) a sense of humor, (4) a connection to nature, (5) goals and a purpose to work toward, (6) good nutrition, (7) regular exercise and rest, (8) an open belief system.
