exciting changes for me to advise you on. So,

hope you pick up a bit of information

YOUR journey in Internet

Many have
asked, "What does Adamantine mean?
It is my "BRAND" and here is the definition:
ad·a·man·tine pronounced "add a man
teen"
1.)
Made of or resembling adamant.
2.) Having the
hardness or luster of a diamond.
3.) Unyielding;
inflexible:
"If there is one dominant trait that emerges from
this newsletter,
it is "adamantine" willpower
and beliefs in those mentoring me
in Internet
Marketing techniques that are shared with my
readers."

ADAMANTINE-News - HAPPY NEW YEAR!
By now you are saying to yourself, JIM IS OFF HIS
ROCKER!..
No, believe it or not, this is an
INTENTIONAL wish for you.
It is February, the holidays are over, the New Year's
resolutions have
come and gone and it is now time to
reflect on just what you want
your year of 2008 to
really be.
I am in the process of changing the format of my
newsletter for the
year 2008. In each
publication, I want to lead off with an example
of
self-improvement or motivational topic for you to
reflect upon.
In this issue, I want to tell you about the EAGLE and
how nature has
impressed upon the eagle the steps it
has to take in order to change
and project its'
being into the future. Here is the story.....
The story of the eagle... And WHY CHANGE IS SO
NECESSARY
The eagle has the longest
life-span of its' species.
It can live up to 70
years But to reach this age, the eagle must make a
hard decision.
In its' 40's, Its' long and flexible
talons can no longer grab prey which serves as food.
Its' long and sharp beak becomes bent Its' old-aged
and heavy wings, due to their thick feathers, become
stuck to its' chest and make it difficult to fly.
Then, the eagle is left with only two options:
die or go through a painful process of change which
lasts 150 days.
The process requires that the eagle
fly to a mountain top and sit on its' nest.
There
the eagle knocks its' beak against a rock until it
plucks it out .
After plucking it out, the eagle will
wait for a new beak to grow back and then it will pluck
out its' talons
When its' new talons grow back, the
eagle starts plucking its' old-aged feathers.
And
after five months, the eagle takes its' famous flight of
rebirth and lives for ...
30 more years
It has been said that, "If we keep on
doing what we're doing, we'll keep on getting what we're
getting". Think for a moment, "Are you satisfied
with what you're getting?"
If the answer to that question is "NO", then CHANGE
is a must.
HAPPY NEW
YEAR!

ADAMANTINE-Headline Article - MOTIVATION, THE HEART
OF SELF IMPROVEMENT
Pain may sometimes be the reason why people change.
Getting flunked grades make us realize that we need to
study. Debts remind us of our inability to look for a
source of income. Being humiliated gives us the ‘push’
to speak up and fight for ourselves to save our face
from the next embarrassments. It may be a bitter
experience, a friend’s tragic story, a great movie, or
an inspiring book that will help us get up and get just
the right amount of motivation we need in order to
improve ourselves.
With the countless negativities the world brings
about, how do we keep motivated? Try on the tips I
prepared from A to Z…
A - Achieve your dreams. Avoid negative people,
things and places. Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “the
future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of
their dreams.”
B - Believe in your self, and in what you can do.
C – Consider things on every angle and aspect.
Motivation comes from determination. To be able to
understand life, you should feel the sun from both
sides.
D – Don’t give up and don’t give in. Thomas Edison
failed once, twice, more than thrice before he came up
with his invention and perfected the incandescent light
bulb. Make motivation as your steering wheel.
E – Enjoy. Work as if you don’t need money. Dance as
if nobody’s watching. Love as if you never cried. Learn
as if you’ll live forever. Motivation takes place when
people are happy.
F – Family and Friends – are life’s greatest ‘F’
treasures. Don’t loose sight of them.
G – Give more than what is enough. Where does
motivation and self improvement take place at work? At
home? At school? When you exert extra effort in doing
things.
H – Hang on to your dreams. They may dangle in there
for a moment, but these little stars will be your
driving force.
I – Ignore those who try to destroy you. Don’t let
other people to get the best of you. Stay out of toxic
people – the kind of friends who hates to hear about
your success.
J – Just be yourself. The key to success is to be
yourself. And the key to failure is to try to please
everyone.
K – keep trying no matter how hard life may seem.
When a person is motivated, eventually he sees a harsh
life finally clearing out, paving the way to self
improvement.
L – Learn to love your self. Now isn’t
that easy?
M – Make things happen. Motivation is when your
dreams are put into work clothes.
N – Never lie, cheat or steal. Always play a fair
game.
O – Open your eyes. People should learn the horse
attitude and horse sense. They see things in 2 ways –
how they want things to be, and how they should be.
P – Practice makes perfect. Practice is about
motivation. It lets us learn repertoire and ways on how
can we recover from our mistakes.
Q – Quitters never win. And winners never quit. So,
choose your fate – are you going to be a quitter? Or a
winner?
R – Ready yourself. Motivation is also about
preparation. We must hear the little voice within us
telling us to get started before others will get on
their feet and try to push us around. Remember, it
wasn’t raining when Noah build the ark.
S – Stop procrastinating.
T – Take control of your life. Discipline or self
control jives synonymously with motivation. Both are key
factors in self improvement.
U – Understand others. If you know very well how to
talk, you should also learn how to listen. Yearn to
understand first, and to be understood the second.
V – Visualize it. Motivation without vision is like a
boat on a dry land.
W – Want it more than anything. Dreaming means
believing. And to believe is something that is rooted
out from the roots of motivation and self
improvement.
X – X Factor is what will make you different from the
others. When you are motivated, you tend to put on
“extras” on your life like extra time for family, extra
help at work, extra care for friends, and so on.
Y – You are unique. No one in this world looks, acts,
or talks like you. Value your life and existence,
because you’re just going to spend it once.
Z – Zero in on your dreams and go for it!!!
Motivation is indeed the "heart" of
self-improvement. If you are contemplating getting
into the
Internet Marketing Arena, you will enjoy
reading my book, "Motivation and Success". You

ADAMANTINE-Self Improvement - Setting Your Goals -
Easier Said, Easily Done
The basics of setting a goal is an open secret known
by top-caliber athletes, successful businessmen and
businesswomen and all types of achievers in all the
different fields. The basics of setting goals give you
short-term and long-term motivation and focus. They help
you set focus on the acquisition of required knowledge
and help you to plan and organize your resources and
your time so that you can get the best out of your
life.
Setting clearly defined short term and long term
goals will enable you to measure your progress and
achieve personal satisfaction once you have successfully
met your goals. Charting your progress will also enable
you to actually see the stages of completion leading to
the actual realization of your goals. This eliminates
the feeling of a long and pointless grind towards
achieving your goal. Your self-confidence and level of
competence will also improve as you will be more aware
of your capabilities as you complete or achieve your
goals.
The basics of goal settings will
involve deciding what you really want to do with your
personal life and what short term and long term goals
you need to achieve it. Then you have to break down
goals into the smaller and manageable targets that you
must complete in your way to achieving your lifetime
targets. Once you have your list waste no time in
tackling your goals.
A good way to have a manageable list is to have a
daily and weekly set of goals. By doing this you will be
always in the position of going towards you life plan
goals. Everyday will give you the opportunity to fulfill
a certain goal giving you the feeling of
accomplishment.
Here are some pointers that should be taken into
consideration in setting goals and achieving them.
Attitude plays a very big role in setting and
achieving your goals. You must ask yourself if any
part of you or your mind holding you back towards
completing your simplest goals? If there are any part of
your behavior that is being a hindrance or puts your
plans into disarray? If you do have problems in these
areas then the immediate thing to do is to address this
problem. Solutions may include a visit to a doctor or
psychiatrist to control your
emotions.
Careers are made by good time
management practice. Failing in a career is often
attributed to bad time management. Careers require a lot
from an individual which often makes the career the life
of the individual. Plan how far do you want to go into
your career.
Education is key in achieving your goals. If your
goals require you to have a certain kind of degree or
require a certain specialization or demand a certain
skill to be developed, make plans in getting the
appropriate education.
Your family should never be left out of your plans.
If you are just starting out then you have to decide if
you want to be a parent or when you want to be a parent.
You also have to know if you really would be a good
parent and how well would you relate to extended family
members
Personal financial situations also play a major role
in achieving your goals. Have a realistic goal on how
much you really want to earn. You also must be able to
create plans or stages by which you will be able to
reach your earning potential.
Physically gifted individuals may be able to achieve
sports related goals like being in the National
Basketball association or National Football League.
Determining your physical capabilities should be one of
your priorities. Physical limitations could however be
conquered with proper planning.
As the saying goes -'All work and no play makes Jack
a dull boy', or something to that effect, is by all
means true down to the last the letter. Giving yourself
a little pleasure: should be included into your
plans.
To start achieving your lifetime goals, set a quarter
of a century plan, then break it down to 5 year plans
then break it down again to 1 year plans, then 6 month
plans then monthly plans, then weekly, then daily.
Then create a things-to-do list for the day.
Always review your plans and prepare for
contingencies.
The basics of goal settings should not be so
difficult once you get to be familiar with them.
