I think Tuesday was an early Friday the 13^th….and I LOVE Friday the 13^th (my Dad was from the South, so I grew up on superstitions, but I had a black cat named Pumpkin and have never had a problem with the number 13 – we peacefully co-exist…but the salt DOES always get thrown over the shoulder – lol).  But some humorous things did occur on Tuesday…

So apparently ALL of you wanted to hear the famous and hilarious Cliff Ennico, tax & legal genius speak that day.  Upon calling in, some of you received some interesting recordings from the various phone companies, and couldn’t hear the recording.  For this I apologize, but…I have good news and better news and fabulous news, AND super exciting news (the last announcement is for you boys and girls who love to pamper yourself!!).

First, the replay of Cliff’s audio is ready here (below) on the Online Success Institute. Woohoo!  Remember, if you have any questions about how to listen to these incredible interviews, check out the help page here: www.onlinesuccessinstitute.com/howtouse   The amazing reference websites he referred to in the interviews are on there as well.  Also, Cliff’s book is due out next month, “The eBay Seller’s Tax and Legal Answer Book”.  Be the first to get your copy…pre-order now at www.taxandlegalbook.com

Second, the blocked recordings some of you heard were due to some interesting legal events about to happen between the phone companies and the recording companies where basically they are restricting certain phone numbers…no, that’s not the better news.  The better news is my super secret spy Rhonda (FastBackStack) was able to track down a person ‘in the know’ who provided us with a number that….sssssssshhhhhhhh, the phone companies don’t know about yet J.  Shew, now you will all be able to get into the next call…which is the Fabulous News….

I am very honored to have Michael Kaiser doing, not one, but TWO Ask podcasts with us.  Michael is an eBay University Lead Instructor, best-selling author & Director of Programs at the National Center for Victims of Crime…and a very dear friend.  He will be doing the following two Ask podcasts – get your questions in NOW to be registered for these fabulous classes…(remember, you can always put “I Choose Success” in the question box if you simply want to be registered for the call.)

1. Tuesday, April 27^th at 2:30pst - While working on an article for Entrepreneur Magazine, I came across these stats:  In the 5 or so minutes it will take you to read this article, almost 100 people will become the victims of identity fraud with losses over $600,000.  A recent random test of eBay community members showed that 11% fell for a typical/common spoof/phishing scam which accounts for 9% of all identity fraud cases a year.  WOW…plus I was mesmerized by the new series that Dateline is doing about online scams/fraud – absolutely phenomenal how good these crooks are getting.

2. Tuesday, April 10^th at 2:30pst - www.AskAboutCharity – part of being an Entrepreneur is being able to give back.  eBay has a great site called Giving Works that handles the charity auctions on eBay – with account management being handled by MissionFish.  Want to learn how to run charity auctions?  Make money for your favorite charity?  Learn how to optimize these powerful programs in your business.  Ask your question about charities on eBay at www.askaboutcharity.com

And, for the Super Exciting News…which has nothing to do specifically with eBay, but it rocks…

Part of being an entrepreneur is the joy of ‘doing what you want’…and this includes taking care of yourself…spoiling, pampering.  My spoiling comes in the form of spa days.  So for those of you who need a bit of spoiling, or know someone who should be spoiled…this is for you:

I wait ALL year for this one particular email to land in my inbox, and this morning…it gloriously arrived.

Spa Week was announced!!!

(Cue heralding angels and rapturous music….)

Wait…you don’t know what Spa Week is?  Are you in for a treat!!  Spa Week is an enchanting 7 days, in 21 cities/areas where local spa services that are normally $100 to $200+ are only $50 each.  Spa Week was announced this morning (& the response promptly crashed their website) and is April 16-22.  You can go to www.spaweek.org and click on your city to see your participating spas.  But call them quick, because they book up super-fast during spa week.  I already have my itinerary planned….European Facial, Vedic Rejuvenation Abhyanga Massage and…

Blessings,

Janelle
