The following post is a live-linked re-print of Unfettered!'s Stay Informed - Second Edition

The following communication is an Unfettered! Special Report:

Over the past week, we the incredibly bold and beautiful behind the creation of Unfettered have noticed a few members have profiles that look like the work of a sleazy insurance salesman with rotten leftover and snuff breath. We won't mention any names, ahem, but if this is you people will take one look at you and feel you could care less about their needs!(That your only interest is parting them from their hard-earned CASH!)

Now, if your profile sucks, we don't blame you entirely and feel you may have been the victim of a practical joker or are suffering from 'web 2.0 Spam overload', and have decided to lead out this edition of Stay Informed with a couple very simple tips that will catapult you ahead of the masses!

Are you ready for this? Lets Begin....

Almost every 'marketer' out there fills their profile page with links and biz opps virtually no one on the face of the planet gives a rip about. Even worse they don't interact with others, if they do they just blast them with their opportunity sending the message across that they are broke, hopeless and need money now!

Here's the rub....if you simply make YOUR Profile page about YOU, and not your business, people will always be interested in getting to know YOU, who YOU are, what YOUR about.

What do you like? Hate? Do for Fun? Have for hobbies? Talents? Skills?

The list goes on, be creative and have fun with it, most people like fun and there are sure as heck a whole lot who have the same interests as YOU!

Here's the second rub...By adding ONE simple link to your profile you can lead your new friend(s) who are interested in YOU to an offsite page with more information about what you do!

This is exactly why we created the Marketplace. This is your one place on the site to do business, remember this is a SOCIAL Network, not a business site!

So lets all have some fun, get to really know each other and build Unfettered into a simply incredible site that people will actually want to visit and get engaged in!

Now for the weekly Offbeat

Major progress was made this week as administration worked closely with members from the community to propel Unfettered ahead of everyone else and make this the coolest social network ever. Site Founder David C Schupbach updated Da Rules including our new, improved and better defined SPAM POLICY. Please be sure to keep up to date with what is probably the simplest rules in the history of any website ever so we don't get angry and sic site administrator Cheryl Baumgartner's 'Pets' on you.

In life and society, profile questions were changed to reflect a more personal and social approach, so if you haven't had the chance to re-answer them we suggest you do that ASAP before too many people think your a dork like This Guy.

Some new groups also sprung up this week, the spotlight award for the coolest new group goes to Roy L. Morris for his Tickle your funny bone group where he has actually managed to gather the pink panther, marvin the martian and some drunk fisherman?

The thought for the week is to Just have fun with it already, just don't play with it till it turns limp!

Ouch! Yeah, till next week,

I'm Garnet Nagy, out of my freakin mind....

The following post is a live-linked re-print of Unfettered!'s Stay Informed - Sixth Edition

In this edition of Stay Informed we get serious and right into the meat of using Social Networking to Develope and Establish your internet presence and build quality relationships guaranteed to seriously work for your business.

By now you've probably heard all the buzz on branding or selling yourself and not business opportunities, but what is selling yourself? No, it doesn't mean you literally 'pimp' yourself and sell your virginity on the internet or anything sick like that! It's more about relating with people much like I just may have with my lame, sick and twisted sense of humour!

Taking a closer look, if you have a specific area your able to field yourself as an expert in(as I personally am with Social Networking), it won't be long before other people start finding you who either are also experts or are seeking to learn or buy from you. Either instance is good: If they are in the same field and truly professional, you should easily be able to hook up and begin working on ways to help each other....whether it's through exchanging links or information or just by talking about each other, it's all good! And if it's just an interested party looking to learn or buy from you(or both!), well I believe thats pretty much self expanatory! ;-)

Now, here we are on Unfettered where I can see we all share at least a few things in common. We are all people(obviously!) who are using the internet and social networking and have some kind of a business we are promoting. Some of us are even bent on building this network to a status of being a grassroots movement of sorts, people helping people and such....real people celebrating life and enjoying freedom of choice and speech! And our core interest is Quality networking and making friends.

Lets take a look at last weeks Unfettered contest and profile spot winner Mariangie Gonzalez for instance. A quick search of her name on any of the three major search engines and you will instantly find it proudly displayed in social communities all over the internet where she's doing an astounding job of presenting herself as an expert in the field of holistic pet care. An avid aminal lover, she has wanted to work with animals since childhood. After attaining her degree in Animal Science & Pre-Veterinary and a stint in the Horticulture and Landscaping arena because of her background in the Agricultural Field, she found herself wanting to be at home more with her family where she offically launched her online business in 2004.

More importantly, shes cool, fun, engaging and I suspect if asked she'd be more than willing to help you however she's able! And she also informs me that this very Tuesday marks the four year anniversary of her business, way to go Mariangie and all the best for your future which is sure to be filled with many great things!

"The world is realizing the power of natural care, herbal remedies, whole foods all over again and I am proud to be there to offer an alternative for our pets. Our pets can't go online and search and buy their own care products but if I can do something to provide their owners with alternative products and education, I feel I'm doing my job."

-Mariangie Gonzalez

Check out her website at http://www.mindbodyandpaw.com/about-us.htm for all your natural pet care needs.

In other news, some really gruff looking dude was seen asking some of the most intesifying, burning, passionate questions you could ever hear as ANYONE looking to grow their online exposure. If you can shed some insight on this amazingly brilliant and thought-provoking inquiry you may just unlock the sacred time constrained secrets of diversion and unadulterated elevation.

We would also like to highlight the efforts of site administrator Cheryl Baumgartner. Her tireless work and unwaiving support has without a doubt had a very significant impact on the overall quality and inviting feel of the site. On the other hand, some ugly bush dude is a little disgruntled with all her contests, mainly because he has to keep cranking out these super-awesome newsletters to keep up with her....

The thought for the week is to not take notice that I forgot to include last weeks thought, which would be a whole lot easier if I didn't just bring that up. Sheesh!!

Get in on This Week's Profiling Spotlight Contest, get to know some great people and have a few laughs on us, and hope to feature you next week, till then.....

I'm Garnet Nagy, containing my laughter and desperately trying to keep a straight face.

How many of you have defined your mission? Be it in life or business, a mission gives purpose to whatever you set out to accomplish. A mission is principle and value based, therefore the outcome is more synergistic with the Laws of the Universe and the flow of life. A mission statement is more than a business plan, which if in any business you should also create.

Mission statements, both business and personal, are what I am currently creating. Soul searching is the energy used while creating a mission. As with most areas of business building, a mission statement is best built in baby steps while searching your soul for your true values and principles.

In late September 2008, I had an epiphany. I listened to my inner guide instructing me to create a short positive statement regarding my mission. If it appeals to you, you are welcome to used it. " The Money will Come, Focus on Your Mission". I wrote it on the back of an old business card and posted it in a small decorative frame on my desk where I see it several times a day. When I feel the worry over money is stealing my creative and productive energies, I read the statement and all is put into perspective again. I see it as more than a goal or task, it is a statement that puts negative energy in its place.

I encourage each reader of this posting to examine your need to define your mission. Should you have interest in this or need help creating a mission, my offer of help is free. Just ask.

This is Tonya L Heathco encouraging you to
Keep your eyes on your mission.

Unless you are a big fan of recieving massive craploads of spam, porn and 'how to get MASSIVE wood pill' adverts from your 'friends', social networking has been anything but SOCIAL.

Until now that is.

I am absolutely loving every minute I spend at Unfettered!

Cool People, Thoughtful and Provacative THINKERS...Helpful, Fun and Inspiring Friends...

ALL I got to say is Finally, at long last a place where we can kick our shoes off, relax, meet other cool people and most important, Speak Our Minds!(shut-up! I DO TOO have one! ;-) )

The brain child of David C Schupbach this network is already a breeding ground for creativity, fun and for building KEY Relationships that will take your business, hobby, goal or just whatever it is about You to the next level.

No need for anyone to be shy here, no holdin' back now or ever:

"Your Among Friends, Speak Your Mind!"

UNLEASHED!

Yep, it's been in the works for a while now. Soon you will see a much more clearly defined and focused blog here at the cREATive MarKEters WorkSHop.

Planned changes include a much much more well written 'marketers code of ethics', social networking reviews, tips, insights and spotlight features of people I've encountered across the net.

Existing members will be featured and will still be able to post basically whatever they want. People who I have the honour of featuring in the future may be granted exclusive rights to post to CMW as well.

If for any reason you feel you would like to be featured in the upcoming future, shoot me an email @: garnet.nagy@yahoo.com explaining why I should feature you. Please use the words: "Coolest Friggin People On The Net" as your subject line so I will read the message.

Spammers will of course be shot on sight!

This past spring our great city of Seattle sponsored an event called the “Seeds of Compassion” put on by inviting the Dali Lama to share words of Wisdom and Enlightenment in a three day seminar which found 1000’s coming out to hear him wax eloquent. I stirred the ire of some friends and relatives by wondering aloud If “compassion is all we need”. I was concerned that compassion might, if not tempered by other virtues – courage, say –ill equip our children for the challenges of life.

Since then I’ve been thinking, should some high-tech billionaire offer me big bucks to stage a similar event on a needed virtue, just what would I choose? My Answer: INTEGRITY.

What is INTEGRITY? Dictionaries define it as “the state of being whole, unimpaired ,sound.”
A good analogy might be that of a Door. Some are hollow-core. When you knock on them there’s a hollow sound because there’s nothing inside. Other doors when knocked upon, sound solid because there’s something inside. The inside and outside in these doors are connected and whole. The solid sound indicates integrity ,soundness, wholeness.

People aren’t as simple as doors, and yet people who possess integrity have something solid inside. Their insides and outsides are one piece. What you see is what you get.

Today, August 7th 2008 I am afraid we are in grave danger of losing this precious virtue of Integrity. I could elaborate on many reasons I feel this is happening , but here are three of the most prevalent in today’s Society.

1.) The “Quick Fix” Mentality – Unlike the brainwash of the ‘Plug in Drug’ that tells us life’s most pressing problems can be solved in the space of a 30 minute sitcom the reality is that ‘Fixes’ in Life may take months or even years to solve. Or even as The story of ‘Humpty Dumpty’ shows us the situation may never be able to completely be put back in order again.

2.) The Image- Driven society that tells us ‘Everything is about Perception’. Or ‘Perception is Reality.’ This is another way of saying it’s not what’s on the inside ,but only what’s on the outside, that matters. Life becomes nothing more than ‘Impression Management.’

3.) Entitlement—I am afraid, in our culture today this is a biggie! This can also be synonyms to ‘the victim mentality’. In some circles today you get the moral high ground by alleging your ‘victim’ status. But this all depends on finding someone else to blame because your life isn’t as you wish. Integrity on the other hand invoves taking responsibility for yourself.

Today I have put forth what I believe to be a good argument for the search and preservation of a key virtue—Integrity.
Tomorrow we will conclude with my ‘Top 10’ Qualities of an individual who possesses Integrity

Are You one of those people who have reservations or inhibitions about saying and doing the things you REALLY want to say or do?

What's the point? I mean do you think you're going to get anywhere you truly want to if you don't LISTEN to YOURSELF?

What's your problem anyways? Are you afraid you won't be accepted? Or that people will Shun you? Hate You? Or that you'll fail?(heaven forbid!)

Listen my friend, whatever the problem is, is no big deal! So What if people look at you funny! So What if people think your screwy or nuts! So WhatIf your a lowlife, drunken loser who's never up until this point done a single lick of good for anything or anyone! So What if you fail...get up and try again!(Besides, REAL Success is really just Action on your part, you being true to yourself and doing what You Feel is Right!)

You see, what I really mean to say is, what's the big damn deal anyways?...If your a freak...or if you don't know where to start...or if your ugly...or misunderstood...or if you don't like what someone else has to say(for crying out loud, they're just words!)...or if someone doesn't agree with you(we don't have to all agree and be exactly the same, you know )...or if you can't stand that person over there...or if every part of your life up until now has been a total lie...or if you think this is all BS...or if you have ever been wrong about anything(how else do you learn?)? SO WHAT!

What else do I need say? Get out there and DO SOMETHING already!

Bushman Out!

P.S. People are eff'en great!

If Your going to get anywhere in business or Life, at some point you have to decide just what the hell you and your business is all about, and JUST DO IT!

Many thanks to Chuck Bartok(creator and mastermind behind BeginnersMarketingClass.com) for his generousity and this latest video I have decided to share with y'all here.

Enjoy and to Your Growth!

P.P.S. Am I a GIANT? YOU DARN SKIPPY!

I saw Kung Fu Panda with my granddaughter and it really had some great moral insight. As a follower and believer of the Law of Attraction I had several connections with quotes sprinkled throughout the movie.

The basic point of the movie was a noodle selling Panda who wanted to be a Kung Fu Master. He dreamed about it, imagined it, yet did not 'believe' in himself as a fat, clumsy bear.

Within the movie is a 'Dragon Scroll' with the secrets to all powers and a 'secret ingredent' in a noodle recipe... You soon realize both are one in the same being 'nothing, everything and self'. Just 'The Secret' and other Law of Attraction books, movies share... It is nothing external, it is YOU.

I do NOT think that belief in the self is over-rated at all because I have worked with hundreds of people and every single one of them who had doubts, in them selves, have failed.

Those who believed they could do it, were successful.

The only ones who say it's over-rated are those whom have not conceptualized the reality of believing in the self. They are the ones who ask but don't receive because they cannot 100% 'believe'.

The key is realizing there is no actual 'secret' and that we all have the same tools for success. The only thing that can stop YOU from success is YOU. Which is exactly what the movie focuses on. Mind over matter you can become whatever you want to be by believing in yourself.

The wise turtle in the movie had many great thoughts one of them my favorite... "Yesterday is history, tomorrow a mystery, today is a gift - that's why they call it the present'.

Don't dwell in the past. Don't worry about the future. DO for TODAY and yes, Yes, YES - BELIEVE in YOURSELF because if you don't who else will?

I don't really read the Daily Rag (Thats newspaper for all you non-newspaper types) much anymore these days(I just feel it to be a waste of my precious time & it usually is a 'downer' anyway).But I just could not resist the article on the Front page when I opened our local paper this morning.

WOW!!Here was the sad story of a 51 year young woman who had risen to the heights of a prestigous & well-paying career as a Commercial Pilot. She had climbed (& it seemed scratched) her way to the top of a profession dominated & favored towards men. Rosemary seemed to have it all,,,100K income, Water-Front Home, A gig (flying) doing what she was PASSIONATE about ( as explained when she 'found' flying in her 20's), A couple fancy Vehicles,& plenty of money in the bank. Yet sadly her life came 'crashing down out of the friendly skies.'

The bullet points at the top of the article really caught my eye!

** Lost Her House
** Lost Her job
** Slept In Homeless Shelters
** Dead at age 51

As I began to read through the article and learn of her rise to Significance and then sad spiral that led to her eventually being run over by a train as she appeared to have been sleeping on the tracks in a drunken stupor, I could not help but wonder "Just what the He** Happened!!" I know the simple answer was she had become an Alcoholic as well as Meth addict and could no longer help herself or even be helped by friends and loved ones and at first gradually but then quite swiftly she lost everything she had worked so hard to achieve over 20+ years.

I was actually angry about Rosemary's plight & found myself more than once muttering to myself 'How Could You Throw It all away!"..."Why in God's Name, didn't you get any Help" As I read on I found myself wishing I could have been there & met Rosemary, & spoken to her ...and SHAKEN some sense into her!Perhaps I could have been a difference- maker for her!

Yet, sadly in the end I know The TRUTH. The Fact is no matter how much her Mother, Brother, friends or associates wanted Peace, Joy & true Fulfillment for Rosemary they could never make it happen for her!Only Rosemary could determine and then CHOOSE/NOT CHOOSE to live a Fulfilling life for herself---It was her choice alone,no one else could do or make it for her (Not even GOD!)

The same is true for each of us. We must all define Our own Passion(s) & ideas for success in Life, then pursue it, tightly grasp it(& determine to NEVER LET IT GO!!). We must acknowledge our own vices & weaknesses that would seek to take us down & NEVER allow our ego to stand in the way of seeking out help when we may need it so we can continue on our journey to abundance.

This has been a sobering story for me. It shows me both how POWERFUL I can be & yet How frail I can also be at times.It also is a 'wake-up Call' for me letting me know I alone am ACCOUNTABLE for the life I CHOOSE to pursue and Live.

Perhaps one moral of Rosemarys' story is to realize "But, for the Grace of God, There goes I".I pray that God gives us each Strength and courage to Live a Life of Meaning and Purpose that we choose.
