24 Qualities That Geniuses Have in Common
I am reposting here an excellent article that I first read about 5 years ago. It was first printed by the National Enquirer in 1980 and later reprinted and re-distributed by L. Ron Hubbard. I have read it many times since then and I feel I just need to share it, it has worked well for me. Let’s all become a genius!
The worlds greatest geniuses have all had 24 personality characteristics in common and you can develop the same traits yourself, says an expert.
“Most people have the mistaken idea that geniuses are born, not made”, declared clinical psychologist Dr. Alfred Barrious, founder and director of the Self-Programmed Control Center of Los Angeles and author of the book, Towards Greater Freedom and Happiness.
“But if you look at the lives of the worlds greatest geniuses like Edison, Socrates, DaVinci, Shakespeare, Einstein, you will discover they all had 24 personality characteristics in common.
“These are traits that anyone can develop. It makes no difference how old you are, how much education you have, or what you have accomplished to date. Adopting these personality characteristics enables you to operate on a genius level.”
Here are the Characteristics Dr. Barrios lists, which enable geniuses to come up with and develop new and fruitful ideas:
DRIVE. Geniuses have a strong desire to work hard and long. They’re willing to give all they’ve got to a project. Develop your drive by focusing on your future success, and keep going.COURAGE. It takes courage to do things others consider impossible.
Stop worrying about what people will think if you’re different.
DEVOTION TO GOALS. Geniuses know what they want and go after it. Get control of your life and schedule. Have something specific to accomplish each day.
KNOWLEDGE. Geniuses continually accumulate information. Never go to sleep at night without having learned at least one new thing each day. Read. And question people who know.
HONESTY. Geniuses are frank, forthright and honest. Take the responsibility for things that go wrong. Be willing to admit, ‘I goofed’, and learn from your mistakes.
OPTIMISM. Geniuses never doubt they will succeed. Deliberately focus your mind on something good coming up.
ABILITY TO JUDGE. Try to understand the facts of a situation before you judge. Evaluate things on an opened minded, unprejudiced basis and be willing to change your mind.
ENTHUSIASM. Geniuses are so excited about what they are doing, it encourages others to cooperate with them. Really believe that things will turn out well. Don’t hold back.
WILLINGNESS TO TAKE CHANCES. Overcome your fear of failure. You won’t be afraid to take chances once you realize you can learn from your mistakes.
DYNAMIC ENERGY. Don’t sit on your butt waiting for something good to happen. Be determined to make it happen.
ENTERPRISE. Geniuses are opportunity seekers. Be willing to take on jobs others won’t touch. Never be afraid to try the unknown.
PERSUASION. Geniuses know how to motivate people to help them get ahead. You’ll find it easy to be persuasive if you believe in what you’re doing.
OUTGOINGNESS. I’ve found geniuses able to make friends easily and be easy on their friends. Be a ‘booster’ not somebody who puts others down. That attitude will win you many valuable friends.
ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE. Geniuses are able to effectively get their ideas across to others. Take every opportunity to explain your ideas to others.
PATIENCE. Be patient with others most of the time, but always be impatient with your self. Expect far more of yourself than others.
PERCEPTION. Geniuses have their mental radar working full time. Think more of others’ needs and wants than you do of your own.
PERFECTIONISM. Geniuses cannot tolerate mediocrity, particularly in themselves. Never be easily satisfied with your self. Always strive to do better.
SENSE OF HUMOR. Be willing to laugh at your own expense. Don’t take offense when the joke is on you.
VERSATILITY. The more things you learn to accomplish, the more confidence you will develop. Don’t shy away from new endeavors.
ADAPTABILITY. Being flexible enables you to adapt to changing circumstances readily. Resist doing things the same old way. Be willing to consider new options.
CURIOSITY. An inquisitive, curious mind will help you seek out new information. Don’t be afraid to admit you don’t know it all. Always ask questions about things you don’t understand.
INDIVIDUALISM. Do things the way you think they should be done, without fearing somebody’s disapproval.
IDEALISM. Keep your feet on the ground — but have your head in the clouds. Strive to achieve great things, not just for yourself, but for the better of mankind.
IMAGINATION. Geniuses know how to think in new combinations, see things from a different perspective, than anyone else. Unclutter your mental environment to develop this type of imagination. Give yourself time each day to daydream, to fantasize, to drift into a dreamy inner life the way you did as a child.1980 National Enquirer/Transworld Features

BBB Warns Against Twitter Scams

Better Business Bureau Warns Against Slimy Twitter ScamsJuly 7th, 2009
by Adam OstrowComments
Twitter spam has been an increasingly hot topic lately, as scammers try to game Twitter’s highly visible trending topics. Unfortunately, a lot of that spam originates with classic “Make Money from Home” type promotions, luring in inexperienced Web users that are desperate to make a few extra dollars.
Today, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) is out with a warning against such scams, calling out a number of specific websites who sell programs that promise riches in the land of Twitter. Like a lot of other scams, they advertise huge income for doing very little work. Unfortunately, however, the only person typically making any money is the one selling the instructional CD-ROMs or e-books to unsuspecting users hoping to cash in on Twitter’s current wave of popularity.
For example, here’s the description of one of the scams cited by BBB:
“The e-mail links to EasyTweetProfits.com, a company out of Surrey, England.
EasyTweetProfits.com claims you can make $250-$873 a day working at home with Twitter. The Web site offers a seven-day free trial of their instructional CD-ROM for $1.95 to cover shipping. Buried in the lengthy terms and conditions are the details that the trial begins on the day the CD is ordered—not when it is received—and if the consumer doesn’t cancel within seven days of signing up, they’ll be charged $47 every month.”
Similar programs mentioned by BBB include Make-money-on-twitter.com and TwitterProfitHouse.com, which also end up billing the person that orders the program perpetually until they cancel. In addition to spamming users via email to gain sign ups, these scams also have been known to spread through Twitter itself. BBB warns “the links in such tweets could lead you to scam sites or install malware onto your computer.”
The bottom line seems to be the same on Twitter as everywhere else: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Nonetheless, it’s good to have BBB jumping onto the potential for Twitter to be exploited by slimy marketers relatively quickly to protect consumers.

Make the Connection: Social Media is the New Word of Mouth Platform for Marketing and Sales
by Peter Auditore on 06/30/2009 19:38 1 comment , 538 views Categories: Social Enterprise, Marketing Ideas
Social Media Today and SAP launched MyVenturepad.com in the summer of 2007 and it has now grown into a vibrant 2000+ member social network where small business owners are able to address, discuss and, in some cases, even help solve critical business problems for each other.
I want to thank you all for being a part of MVP and participating in the community that we have created together. Our intent from the beginning was to address all of the key pain points that small business owners face, not simply technology issues. This has been one of the keys to its success. As the community evolved, it began to focus on a wide range of topics of importance to growing businesses.
When we launched MVP we had no idea how far out on the bleeding edge of this newfangled "social media" approach to marketing that we were. Our partners didn’t get it, our marketing organization couldn’t see the light, but we persevered. Today, social media networks (of which, MVP is a pioneering example) are the “new platform” for word of mouth marketing in the millennium and they are forming and gaining momentum at an...

Protect your privacy on Facebook -10 privacy settings you should consider
by Drew McLellan on 06/28/2009 09:26 0 comments , 587 views Categories: Marketing IdeasTags: facebook, privacy settings
As Facebook and other social networking sites continue to grow by leaps and bounds, many privacy issues are also cropping up. Most of us end up blending our personal and professional lives on Facebook and Sometimes that can get a bit uncomfortable.
We've talked about the issue of whether or not you get to have a private life anymore, if you're active in social networking. But, there are some things you can do to protect your own privacy and also, the privacy of the people you are linked to/friended.
This has been a growing concern of mine, so those of you who are my Facebook friends (link to the right if you are not) might notice a few changes in my own settings after researching and writing this post.
Ten Privacy Setting You Should Consider:
Use your friends lists -- everyone doesn't have to see everything.
Remove yourself from the Facebook Search results -- if you only want to be found by people you reach out to -- this is an easy fix for eliminating most of the unwanted friend invites.
Remove yourself from the Google search -- Facebook listing seem to grab great Google juice. So if you want to be found, leave it be. But if you'd prefer more privacy, you can remove yourself from the listings.
The dreaded photo/video tag -- this one has cost people jobs, relationships and their own dignity. With a simple change in privacy settings, you can make it so that no one (or just those you choose -- think friend lists) can see those tell all photos and videos.
Not everyone needs to see every picture -- this holds true of your photo albums as well. You can set privacy settings for each one separately.
Prevent "stories" from showing up on your friends news feed -- is there anything more awkward than when your friend goes from in a relationship to it's complicated or single? Avoid that embarrassment with a few simple settings.
Keep your application updates from being published -- do you really want people to know you're looking for a tommy gun in Mafia Wars or that you've wasted yet another hour hitting a new high on Bejeweled?
Make you contact information private -- for some people, their cell phone number is public information. But for others who might have arms lengths relationships at best with many of their Facebook friends...a bit less shared would be good.
Censor your friends... keep their thoughts off your wall! -- I think this is one of the most critical on the list. You can control who sees your wall and who can write on your wall. Do you really need your frat buddies sharing stories with your boss? I'm guessing not.
Keep your friends private -- this isn't just about your privacy, it's about your friends' privacy as well. Remember, anyone who is a friend of yours can pop onto your friends list and cherry pick them for whatever reason they'd want.
The beauty of most of these privacy moves is that no one will ever know you've even implemented them. But you will... because you'll feel a whole lot safer and less exposed.
I found an excellent post on the topic over at www.allfacebook.com that covers all ten of these suggestions in great depth -- including showing you how to alter your settings.
Check it out and protect yourself a little.

A Day in the Life of Washington's Elite Slimemeisters
Repost
Mike Allen, Michael Calderone Mike Allen, Michael Calderone – Thu Jul 2, 9:04 am ET
Washington Post publisher Katharine Weymouth said today she was canceling plans for an exclusive "salon" at her home where for as much as $250,000, the Post offered lobbyists and association executives off-the-record access to "those powerful few" — Obama administration officials, members of Congress, and even the paper’s own reporters and editors.
The astonishing offer was detailed in a flier circulated Wednesday to a health care lobbyist, who provided it to a reporter because the lobbyist said he felt it was a conflict for the paper to charge for access to, as the flier says, its “health care reporting and editorial staff."
With the Post newsroom in an uproar after POLITICO reported the solicitation, Weymouth said in an email to the staff that "a flier went out that was prepared by the Marketing department and was never vetted by me or by the newsroom. Had it been, the flier would have been immediately killed, because it completely misrepresented what we were trying to do."

Of all of the social networking sites out there, YouTube has the most potential to build your MLM Business. Where else can you directly communicate with literally millions of potential customers, and all for the cost of making a cell phone video?
The answer is: nowhere else. Like Twitter, YouTube has the potential to generate almost infinite and free MLM leads. YouTube has taken the 'net by storm, going from a place to share videos of family trips into a network of millions that has catapulted thousands of virtual unknowns into instant celebrities.
You know who they are; the 'Chocolate Rain' guy, the sobbing, mascara wearing Britney fan, and even that computer generated dancing baby have garnered millions of hits. Why shouldn't your MLM business cash in, too.
Of course, any medium that has the potential draw the attention of millions of customers, and for free, has almost limitless MLM advertising potential. They key is to successfully tap into it. Any MLM business would be wasting a huge amount of potential (as wells as passing on thousands of potential free leads) if they did not take advantage of the huge pool of potential customers by getting themselves out there on YouTube. Fortunately, utilizing YouTube as a marketing tool for your MLM business is simple, and getting staggering results and numerous free leads are as well.
YouTube is currently being used as a primary advertising medium for many successful MLM businesses. For others, it is less successful. You may be wondering what the successful MLM businesses are doing that the unsuccessful MLM's are not. It is really quite simple; the most successful YouTube advertisers are using YouTube for what it is: a social site. Its use as a MLM advertising site was only secondary. And while it may be tempting to look at your marketing from and MLM salesman's point of view, the key to utilizing YouTube is to be social. Get yourself out there. Check out some videos, comment.
Post video responses to the more popular videos. Let the traffic that is already being generated by the most popular videos generate hits for your ads and MLM business. It is simple mathematics. Set yourself up for success by using the most successful videos as foundations for your links and the free leads will start piling up.
Also, don't underestimate entertainment value. Be funny. Be honest. Be relevant. Remember, most people go out of their way to avoid ads, so market you in a way that doesn't appear to be commercial. You may be asking yourself when a commercial is not commercial. The answer is simple: when it's audience sees it as entertainment. How do you achieve this magical balance for your MLM? By showing off not only your expertise, but your down-to-earth nature; and by doing so in a way that potential free leads find entertaining. Do something that your potential free leads watch because they want to hear what you are saying, and conversely end up wanting to buy what you are selling.
Be clear that you can (and want to) help people to help themselves. People are more likely to react positively to your videos if you come across like a friend rather than a MLM salesman.
On a technical note, you want to make sure that the titles for your ads and their descriptions are SEO friendly. With millions of videos on YouTube, you want your MLM ads to be at the top of the list when someone conducts a search. Finally, have fun. People surf YouTube's videos, for the most part, to be entertained. So entertain them and watch your site traffic and leads snowball.
