I'm Back!

Welcome back to the Shopping Evolution Blog ...

It has been a while of haitus, not necessarily because I wanted to, but life has been busy.

But Shopping Evolution is alive and well, and now this blog will be, too. Over this last year I have been working on a number of different ventures, and this new and improved blog, in conjunction with the new and improved website at http://www.meetrichardfinn.com/, is going to help you reach success in your online income earning endeavors. Take a few minutes now to check out the sites, and then let me know what you think by commenting and/or subscribing to this blog. Then, keep an eye out over the coming months as we grow and expand all of these resources for you.

Our goal is to bring you the most possible resources at the least possible price, and to help you make your online business the success it was meant to be! There is no doubt that the internet is where the money will be made in the coming months and years, most likely for the next several decades, so let's join together and make it happen!

See you on the inside!

How Effortless Action = Success in Life and ShopToEarth Business

Accomplish more, by trying less. This can be construed as a thought that goes against the principle of “No Pain, No Gain,” completely contrary to “You have to work HARD to make things happen,” and “The harder I work the luckier I get.” I’m sure you get the point.


When you discover the power of “Effortless Action” and eliminate expectancies from your life, the result is action without attachment to outcome. You will be accepting every result of your actions and choices for what they turn out to be, not what you might want them to be. In other words, “It is what it is,” and you continue forward.

Understand that you can act without the implied judgment of words such as effort or trying. You can compete without being focused on outcome. Eliminating opposites paradoxically unifies them so that it is unnecessary to identify with one position.

You go into unquestionable action. You react immediately to whatever it is you are going to do. You don’t procrastinate. You do it without even thinking about doing it!

The joy is in the constant doing at your own point of reality. Your present, your NOW has unquestionable power built upon your 100% trust that whatever the outcome is, it is not controlled by you, and when that outcome materializes whether in seconds, hours, weeks, month or years, it has already been accepted by you as the outcome that is supposed to be.

Don’t try to do the business, just do the business when you have decided to do the business. Remember Shakespeare and “The best laid plans of mice and men?”

Don’t spend time trying to manipulate the outcome of an event, just use your free will to decide what you want to do in that precise moment of the present, and allow your inexhaustible source to provide it to you in whatever form that it might reveal itself.

In other words, accept it if it happens that exact way you wanted it to happen, or equally accept it if it happens in a totally different manner, or even if it doesn’t happen at all!

For in the scheme of eternity, who are we to question the importance of one single act, while at the same time appreciate the power one single miniscule action can have in the shifting fabric of eternity through our thoughts or actions?

Balancing your business life with your spiritual life always in front, is the way to achieve harmony and peace of mind. Enjoy and just be you.

SHOPTOEARN WILL PAY YOU $1,000 IN JULY! DON’T MISS OUT.

Hi everyone.
Wow, am I excited! I hope you were on the STE webinar tonight and heard all the exciting news about the new platform rolling out tomorrow. If you didn’t, here is a brief recap:
First, starting tomorrow, you will find a very enhanced ShopToEarth lineup of products. Over 10,000 new products from 300 retailers will be added to the ShopToEarth store tomorrow, July 1. This is tremendous news! I can hardly wait to dig through the site and see all the new products.
In addition, a whole new web platform will be up and running at 12:01 AM tonight! This is going to bring several enhancements to the site, and make it easier to navigate and find the products you want.
Even better, shipping (for orders under $167) will now be a flat rate of just $10.99 per order. Buying 72 gallons of laundry detergent? Still, just $10.99. Of course, orders over $167 will still receive FR EE shipping.
The new point rollover rules will be in effect tomorrow as well, so in the coming months you will see higher volumes of ShopToEarth purchases being made from your referrals, and their referrals, so this will drive more point generation and profit for everyone. This is great news. And keep in mind that if you score just once every 6 months your monthly ShopToEarth purchases will be paid for (assuming $100 per month purchases on STEarth, a $600 score commission would pay for those purchases).
AND THE WINNER IS …
The best news is that in July YOU CAN QUALIFY FOR ANOTHER QUICK START BONUS! Yes, for anyone who was a broker or business builder prior to June 1, 2009, if you refer just 5 new brokers or website owners to the business you will receive a $500 bonus. Add this to the $500 Training bonuses you will receive ($100 per referral) you have just earned a cool $1,000 to pump up your summer fun! J
So, don’t delay! Everyone needs to set their sights on 5 referrals for July, and Frank and I are here to help you make that happen. Please give us a call right away so that we can help you develop a strategy for building your 5 referrals in July!

EXCITING CHANGES COMING TO SHOPTOEARTH!

Hi, sorry for the delay in communications this last week or so, things have been busy. But there is news that you MUST know, so please read on!

If you did not already see the communication from ShopToEarn, they are making some exciting changes on their ShopToEarth platform. Chiefly, beginning July 1, 2009 they will be adding 300 new retailers and over 10,000 new products to ShopToEarth.

This is a very exciting change since, as many of you know, the ‘Earth’ side has had limited choices for some people.

Along with this change will be a requirement to now be generating $100 per month in ShopToEarth purchases, and be qualified (with 2 referred Owners or Brokers) in order to continue to roll over Score! points that you have previously earned. This will continue to help develop the business and build income for you and all of the people you have referred to ShopToEarn, while saving all of us money on our regular purchases.

The company also announced that all ShopToEarth shipments will be charged a flat rate shipping cost of just $10.99 (free shipping still applies to orders that exceed the minimum). This is another excellent development and exemplifies the company’s commitment to provide the best service at the lowest cost to their members.

For further information and/or clarification regarding these changes, read the full story on the STE Blog, or click the ‘News’ link in your back office; and don’t forget to explore the 10,000 new products beginning July 1.

Happy shopping!

Steps to Become a Millionaire; Step 2 - Set Your Focus

Continuing in our series, Steps to Become a Millionaire, today we look at focus. Step 1 in the process was to Tune Up Your Millionaire Mindset. Now that you are thinking straight, you also need to see clearly. Read on as we take you through the four steps to fixing your focus.

Your alarm goes off at six am, far too early, but you jump out of bed, already feeling the pressure of the day. You rush to fit in some breakfast as you get the kids' lunches ready and usher them out the door after a quick breakfast, already late for the bus. You pause momentarily to pray that they don't miss it because you don't have time to drive them to school before your eight-thirty meeting.

Traffic against you, your heart rate increases as you think about explaining to your boss why you are tardy for his all-important "re-alignment" meeting. You rush into the office and grab a quick cup of luke-warm coffee, no time to make a new pot. The meeting is fast-paced, and before you really have time to object you have three more projects with looming deadlines. A quick lunch in the building's cafeteria, and then to your desk where you juggle e-mail, catch up on the 3 projects already underway, handle a quick crisis with one of your field crews, and then dial in for your afternoon conference call.

You can't believe it is already four-thirty when one of your co-workers stops by your cubicle to chat about his ex-girlfriend's cousin's party last weekend, and you try not to offend but you don't have time for idle chatter. Your Blackberry is going off furiously as you dash for the car, hoping to have a few minutes to stop at the store before picking the kids up from their after-school activities so there will be something for dinner tonight.

The evening meal is a free-for-all and somehow you are left with the dish duty. You make time to help the kids with their homework, then try to catch up on some personal connections and a little online research for the next den meeting, and then you crash into bed, already worried about how to make it through tomorrow.

This may not be your exact story, but can you relate? If not, maybe you already have this step perfected. But if this resonated with you, read on, what you learn here today can make or break your ability to be successful and achieve your millionaire dreams.

Our problem today is distractions. You see, it is easy to allow yourself to get distracted amid the sea of responsibility that each of us shoulders. And some shoulder more than others! So how do you maintain a focus in this age of instant technology and information overload? How do you keep yourself from getting sucked into the grinder of "other people's priorities" and maintain a healthy balance in life?
