<p>Each day, millions of business professionals sign in to LinkedIn and network with others who share common interests, career goals, or industry. So what’s stopping you from joining the fun? For many it comes down to two things:</p>
<div id="attachment_98" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.thegrosslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/linedin_logo.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-98" title="Linked In Free Help Tutorials" src="http://www.thegrosslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/linedin_logo-300x199.jpg" alt="Linked In Free Help Tutorials" width="300" height="199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">LinkedIn - Business Networking Redefined</p></div>
<p>1.	Time &#8211;  For many it comes down to time. The time it takes to learn LinkedIn, the time it takes to complete a profile, the time it takes to network etc… I am here to set this myth straight. Follow my instructions to the smallest detail and you will be up and running in no time at all.</p>
<p>2.	Confidence – LinkedIn may appear intimidating for those who are no 100% comfortable with social networking and/or the Internet in general. I am here to help you conquer these fears and gain the confidence and “know how” you need to get started on LinkedIn.</p>
<p>I have had hundreds of emails asking me to make this series of videos and tutorials on LinkedIn. So I am here to deliver this 100% for you, my loyal visitors., 100% for free. I will start with the theory, and then move on to the action steps (in video format) needed to get started right away.</p>
<p>If you would like to “Jump Ahead” feel free to download my 100% free eBook “The 21’st Century Job Hunters Survival Guide”. Click here to download the Free Linked In eBook now.</p>
<p>Coming up next is the Introduction to LinkedIn. In this tutorial we will discuss LinkedIn and how it can help you to advance yourself professionally.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Trust. This is a word that gets thrown around a lot. So many people ask you to trust them, they ask you to "Give them a chance" "I won'y let you down, I promise!" We have all heard these statements at one point or another in our lives. 

I am willing to bet that you can count on one hand the total number of these claims that came to fruition. Trust is something that cant be bought. It has to be earned. It must be earned through continuous honesty, integrity and reliability. We tend to trust those who are there for us, through thick and thin. This is the trust I am referring to in this article...deep rooted...pure...TRUST. ]]></description>

This is a word that gets thrown around a lot. So many people ask you to trust them. They ask you to &#8220;Give them a chance,&#8221; say &#8220;I won&#8217;t let you down, I promise!&#8221; We have all heard these statements at one point or another in our lives.</p>
<p>I am willing to bet that you can count on one hand the total number of these claims that came to fruition. Trust is something that can’t be bought. It has to be earned. It must be earned through continuous honesty, integrity and reliability. We tend to trust those who are there for us, through thick and thin. This is the trust I am referring to in this article&#8230;deep rooted&#8230;pure&#8230;TRUST.</p>
<div id="attachment_44" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 242px"><a href="http://www.thegrosslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/trust.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-44" title="Trust Me" src="http://www.thegrosslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/trust.jpg" alt="" width="232" height="186" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">You Can Do It. I Can Help. Trust Me.</p></div>
<p>You might have noticed by the title of this post that I am asking you to Trust Me. I am telling you I am here to help. Can I be trusted? The answer is YES. I can, and I WILL, tell you WHY it is safe to put your trust in me.</p>
<p>While studying the field of Internet Marketing, I have hit many &#8220;bumps&#8221; in the road. I have stumbled and even fallen at times, but I have never quit. One of the main reasons I have never quit is the support I had from people I trust. These aren&#8217;t people I have ever met. These people are the ones that took the time to help me, to mentor me, to lift me back up when I had fallen hard. These are the individuals who stepped up with no monetary intentions at all and made me hold my head up high and continue forward.</p>
<p>This didn&#8217;t happen on one occasion, but on a dozen or more. That&#8217;s right &#8211; I can recall AT LEAST 12 people who have taken their time to help me for an extended period. I am not talking an hour here, but more likely a week or more. In some cases, months of time were spent to help me through this journey&#8230;and at NO cost to myself.</p>
<p>Kindness ruled the day here. I was fortunate enough to meet kind, trustworthy and intelligent people who have &#8220;been there before.&#8221; They had been in my place at some point in their past. These are the people who I refer to when I speak about TRUST and the online world. Thanks to their kindness, I have become quite successful in the world of Internet Marketing, and I must say I owe much of it to them. I owe it to their dedication, selflessness and true friendship.</p>
<p>So what does all of this mean? It means that the very way these individuals treated me is the foundation on which this website &#8211; and EVERYTHING I do in life &#8211; is built upon. Over the past four years, I have started to go OUT OF MY WAY to help others when they were in need. I have reached out and helped those that needed guidance (much like I did when I was learning) without question or monetary intentions.</p>
<p>This website and everything I do is operated by these laws. I want to help people PLAIN AND SIMPLE. I have no ulterior motives. I have no secret agenda. I made this site to help YOU. I am here to help YOU and make YOUR life better in the best way I know how&#8230;through my teachings. I absolutely and genuinely love to teach and on this website I feel I am being given the opportunity of a lifetime to change the lives of thousands, if not millions, of people.</p>
<p>So I now ask of you two simple things:</p>
<p>1. Trust in me &#8211; Put your faith in me. Trust that I am here for your best interests. Trust that I will provide to you FREE and powerful content that can, and WILL, change your life for the better. Trust that I will show you the mistakes I made, and how to avoid the pitfalls I have fallen into. You can trust me.</p>
<p>2. Stay Positive &#8211; All I ask is that in any email communication with me, or any comment on this blog, that you stay 100% positive. I need for you to spread the happiness I am attempting to share with you. If you see someone needs help, and you know the answer, tell them! Be sure to put yourself in their shoes, if you have been there, solved that, then let them know.</p>
<p>This is all I ask of you, so please abide by these two requests.</p>
<p>Now it&#8217;s time to get serious. In the coming weeks, I will be posting A LOT of content that will help you succeed. I am also taking visitor requests for content. If you have an idea for content that you feel will help yourself and others on this site, send the suggestion to me @ TheGrossLife@gmail.com.</p>
<p>I look forward to seeing all of you on this website and wish you only the very best in everything that you do.</p>
<p>To Your Success,</p>
<p>Jeffrey Gross</p>

		<description><![CDATA[We've all been there before...you had an idea, something that (on the surface) sounded nonsensical or infeasible. It might have been an idea to make something better, an idea for a new business, or perhaps just an idea on how to do your job better.

No matter what the case, the real question is, how many times have you acted on these impulses to create, to innovate, to think outside of the box? All too often people sweep these ideas under the rug, deeming them "not worth trying" or "too risky" or labeling them "impossible". ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div align="right" style="float:right;padding:0px 0px 5px 5px;"><a name="fb_share" type="box_count" share_url="http://www.thegrosslife.com/self-help/theres-no-such-thing-as-a-stupid-idea/"></a></div><p>Some people may start to plan out the idea on paper, and even go as far as to do some logistical planning as well. But, then life takes over and the idea still dies on that sheet of paper. Others seek the guidance of others, “Will this idea work? Can it make me money? Is this a good idea?” Well, that depends on who you asked. Did you ask someone who also has big dreams and big time aspirations?</p>
<p>Or did you ask someone who is sure to put your idea down and point out all of the negatives and not the positives. All too often the people you ask will point out the potential problems and NOT the potential uses and reasons why it WOULD work.</p>
<div id="attachment_10" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.thegrosslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/lightbulb-idea.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-10" title="Act-On-Your-Ideas" src="http://www.thegrosslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/lightbulb-idea-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Got Ideas? Act On Them!</p></div>
<p>So as you can see, ideas die for many reasons. OK, die is a strong word. Let’s call it hibernation for now. The ideas are in a “limbo” so to speak. They still exist in your mind, but are stuck there. For many, this can cause anguish, regret and even anger. What can you do to stop this vicious cycle? Act on your ideas!</p>
<p>Well it’s not entirely that simple, but let’s go over some ways to give the ideas you have the highest probability of inception.</p>
<p>1. Get it on paper &#8211; no matter what the idea is, where you think of it, or how ridiculous it may sound &#8211; WRITE IT DOWN. Find a piece of paper and write it down OR get it into your smart phone. Pick one and do it. The odds of an idea getting acted upon go way up when it gets out of your mind and onto paper.</p>
<p>2. Write a list &#8211; on a new sheet of paper write the reasons the idea CAN and WILL work. Make sure to get everything on paper.</p>
<p>3. What else do you need? &#8211; Write down all of the “help” you will need. Suppliers, contractors, staff, anything you can think of. Write it here.</p>
<p>4. Step by step- In this step I always write down the steps needed to get the project launched. Leave nothing out of this list and it WILL grow and change in time. Use a program like Microsoft Word, so when changes happen you can make them easily.  On this list include even the most minute points. Example:</p>
<ul>
<li>Make website specification</li>
<li>Research Competitors</li>
<li>Write web site copy</li>
<li>Find Web Designer</li>
<li>etc&#8230;</li>
</ul>
<p>The above example might be for an online website idea, but your idea might be 100% offline, and that’s great!</p>
<p>5. Make a time line &#8211; Nothing fancy here&#8230;just write on paper when each of the steps written above should be completed. “Eventually” or “Someday” doesn’t work at all. TRUST ME!</p>
<p>These are some basic steps you should take to preserve and nurture the all important ideas you come up with. Do not let them die in your head. Bring them to life. Make it your business to act upon them all as you have laid them out using the process above.</p>
<p>I will be making MANY more posts on this topic in the near future. Stay tuned.</p>
<p>Find Web Designer</p>
