    Product Launch Plan Moment of Clarity

    November 16, 2008 // No Comments »

    This past week I’ve been wrapping up my product launch plan for - "Mindset Marketing: How to Stop Self-Sabotaging Your Success and Gain Massive Momentum in Your Online Business" (with an affiliate program by the way) - smile.  The product launch experience inspired a big moment of clarity for me, and I’m sure once you put yourself in my shoes, you’ll find the moral of this story.

    My goal was to have launched the e-book for my good friend Anthony Whym’s Blog Talk Radio show this past Saturday, but I ran into some challenges.  I surely could have devised a more tactful product launch plan, but hey - it’s all GOOD!  It’s only my first product launch (of many).  And now there is more time for us to get the word out.    :-)

    Listen to the replay of my conversation with Anthony on Blog Talk Radio .

    You will learn even more intimate details about me (like early inspirations, where I grew up, my experience on Capitol Hill as well as more on my e-book "Mindset Marketing."

    So, after being interviewed and speaking of "Mindset Marketing" with Anthony Whyms I gained even further clarity in terms of how I want to use this blog to inspire, educate and provide value to other online entrepreneurs who may be struggling to find their "online and personal productivity groove."

    So here is where I’d like to take the energy level here on this blog:

    New Tagline for Dali Burgado:

    Mindset Marketing: The Crossroads of Millionaire Mindset and Strategic Internet Marketing

    Voila!  So what do you think about my new tagline?  Post a comment here and let me know!

    If you’ve been around for a while here, you know I tend to talk a lot about mindset, and it’s importance in online, and virtually any kind of, success.  My present tagline "being productive online - is more of an effect of "mindset marketing" …

    So there, I have new clarity and vision for this blog!

    What does this mean to you?

    This just goes to show you all that we don’t have to be perfect.

    The most important aspect of creating success online (and offline) is making minor course adjustments along the way.

    Although I didn’t have a clear product launch plan, something positive still came about.

    Have you ever heard that an airplane is off course 80-90% of the time, and its pilot must continually make those minor course corrections in order for the plane to get from point A to point B.  Think of yourself as an online air pilot.

    Never get frustrated when you realize you "could have" done something better.  Simply appreciate where you are, accept the situation, and make the minor course adjustment and keep on a movin’!

    So, I hope you enjoy the new direction!!  It’s gonna be so much FUN!

    Now…My "online relationship building" posts about "Twitter" and other online social networking tips will go on my new blog at Secrets to Web Success .   There’s not much there now, but very soon you will also start seeming some super duper valuable content about online social networking, search engine optimization, online relationship building - anything Internet success-related will all be there!  That’s gonna be a blast too, especially because I have partnered up with some awesome friends in social media, Internet, and Network Marketing to bring you tremendous value there, so make sure you stay in the loop here and on via my tweets on Twitter .

    AND please VOTE on my new tagline.  Is it a go??

    I appreciate you!

    Your partner in Online Success,

    Dali Burgado

    P.S.

    Mindset Marketing will be available any day now!  I’m getting some raving reviews on it too! Woo hoo.
