Classes this week – Spiritual Entrepreneur Series, Meet the PowerSeller, and THE Cliff Ennico
Thank you again to everyone for being SO fabulous. I know both Brenda and I really appreciate your overwhelming support of everyone’s Success on the Rock Star site! (To read the original article, head over to http://osirockstars.com/?p=515) If you are interested in helping Jennifer with transcriptions, please email her first at precisionbluing@frontiernet.net – transcribing is a huge undertaking and we really appreciate her abilities in doing this as well as getting all of this organized! Pat T. has been the first one to contact her to help – thank you Pat – you rock! AND, the fabulous Lorena – who isn’t even a Rock Star yet – has volunteered!! Very wonderful of you Lorena – thank you. I am so honored to be part of this amazing group of human beings!
This next part, I know, has nothing to do with eBay or selling on line whatsoever BUT…free ice cream and ice cream for a good cause is always a VERY important topic – lol.
· Tuesday, April 29th – From their site… As Ben & Jerry’s celebrates its 30th anniversary across the globe, the socially-minded ice cream maker, with the fun and funky flavors, asks what better way to share the love? They’re giving it away. No, this is not one of those internet pranks that makes you send ten emails to your friends for a free pair jeans. This is as plain and simple as vanilla. “Jerry and Ben started their first Free Cone Day as a thank you to their customers,” said Debra Heintz, Retail Operations Director. “It’s cool,” added Heintz with full pun intended, “we get to continue the peace, love and FREE ice cream tradition every year across the world.” Free Cone Day is Tuesday, April 29th, 2008. http://www.benjerry.com/
· Wednesday, April 30th – From their site…Join us for 31 Cent Scoop Night at Baskin-Robbins® and help us honor
Share the Success with friends – forward this onto them or tell them to get their own copy at www.TheBusinessSuccessKit.com

- Affiliate Payments – getting eBay to pay YOU
Our Rock Star JanieRuth just posted this inspirational note on the RS forums:
OK, I am not usually one to toot my own horn (NOT), but - this week I worked on my Bling! It and I finally got the hang of it. Still working out some of the edges, but all in all not too shabby.
ALSO, and I thought this day would never come, I got my first commission payment from
So even though I am not at PowerSeller, I still Rock. (PS my sales are on track so I hope to make PS by eBay Live to be able to do PS things with y’all).
Janieruth of Janieruth’s Fabulous to Funky Finds eBay Store
Janieruth, you are truly an amazing Rock Star and such an inspiration to follow. A beautiful eBay Store, gorgeous pictures, a new blog, getting eBay to pay YOU – you are pretty darn fabulous!
PS – if you want to see Janieruth’s amazing before and after pictures done with Bling! It, check out her blog at http://janieruth.wordpress.com/2008/04/25/
- Getting eBay to pay YOU to have an eBay Store
Our brilliant new Rock Star Brenda is using an outside domain to easily brand her business AND have eBay take 75% off her Final Value Fees each time someone comes into her eBay Store from her new domain name! Check it out:
Hey everyone.. need to brag that I finally after 8 years became a “professional” and got my own domain name for my store. You might have read my other post in the Newbie forum and I received so many positive comments and encouragements.
So.. here it is… www.bienleindesign.com
Also.. I don’t know if its related but yesterday was the busiest day in my ebay store since day one! I couldn’t believe all the things that sold right after each other. YEAH.
next step (currently in process) is to create a logo for my store and listings.. get the colors to coordinate and everything branded.
Like you all tell me… one step at a time!

New Classes for this week…
Hey…get registered ASAP for this week’s classes. All OSI Live classes are fr-ee to attend and instructions are included during the registration process for both the podcasts and the webinars. Remember, you can either ask a question for our special guest or simply put “I Choose Success” in the question box.
4/28/08, Monday at Noon pst/3pm est – One of my great friends in this business is the brilliant Troy White. Troy had been interviewing successful entrepreneurs and found a common theme running throughout the process…over 75% of them attributed their Success to their spirituality/faith. He took that information and wrote an amazing book called “Entrepreneurial Spirits”. (You can get your copy if you haven’t already at www.JanelleElms.com/spirit)
I have read that book over and over again…and the information is priceless – BUT, you have to apply it. So I thought it was a perfect time to ‘help’ apply it by bringing in some of my favorite heavy hitters in the world of Success and Faith. You’ll hear from many types of people in this series – who all have one thing in common – they have a Faith Mindset for Success.
Next up in this new series is my friend Mike Rozell. His talents are numerous including Sales Agent for Executive Real Estate, Inc., Member of the National Association of Realtors, Member of the Renton Chamber of Commerce, Member of the Fairwood Flyer Committee, Originator of My Lifestyle Realtor, Director of Oasis Business Connect and two-time reigning Northwest All Church Texas Hold-em Tournament Champion. But it his faith and passionate desire to succeed that have put him on this show. Save your Success spot on this call by following registration instructions below.
4/30/08, Wednesday at Noon pst/3pm est – One of my favorite series, Ask The PowerSellers. Join us as we get to know Brenda of Gentle Bath & Company and find out how a nurse with no web experience has become such a huge success. Don’t forget to check out her beautiful eBay Store, Gentle Bath & Company.
Save your spot on this call by following registration instructions below.
5/1/08, Thursday at Noon pst/3pm est – He’s Baaaaaaack!! Our favorite tax and legal, Nixon look alike has returned – THE Cliff Ennico. But he is here with a scoop…his latest book that hasn’t hit the shelves yet AND we have a sneak preview copy. Make sure you save your spot on this call to get an advance preview of this powerful book and of course hear the charming Cliff Ennico.
Ask your questions for Cliff by following registration instructions below.
Purchase for pre-release his latest book, “The eBay Business Answer Book: The 350 Most Frequently Asked Questions About Making Big Money on eBay” by Cliff Ennico.
