Review of the 7 Figure Secrets - Just Released

The 7 Figure Secrets report has finally been released. And here's my take on it.

There's a mad rush to get access to the information, especially as it's all to do with Mike Filsaime. He only has to say the word and success is instant at this stage. With that said I'd like to share some things I think you should know before you follow the hype and are sucked in.

The report is called "The 7 Figure Secrets" and it's a physical product that'll be shipped to your front door. And the cost?

$7.99, or $11.99 to other countries. And that's just the shipping. The 7 Figure Secrets itself is free. Mike says he was going to sell that report for $297, but decided to share it for free. Why?

You see if you offer enough value to a customer before he puts his/her hand in their pocket, they'll come back again and again. Even more so if what you're offered helps you make money or improves your business in some way.

Will this report help you?

Yes and no.

Lets look at the 'No' first:

First of all the book itself is 84 pages long. Now that's not huge by any stretch of the imagination. But there are a lot of folks out there who will get this information and will just put the book on the shelf to gather dust. And for those who do read the information, well lets just say this word: Action.

Lack of action is one of the biggest killers of any business. I mean, I've been there where I bought lots of information products. But I didn't take action. So I failed miserably for years. What has changed? Here's that word again: Action. I took action.

In these cases you're better off avoiding more information and just begin to focus on what you already know. As a matter of fact, look through all your information products. Then just choose one or two to focus on. Put the rest back on the shelf. And take action on the one or two you've chosen. Okay?

Oh, and one more thing -

If you're an experienced marketer, then this information you most likely already know. However, it is a great way to read and revise what you're doing and you may find that you gain more ideas as a result.

Let's look at the 'Yes' now:

Because of the ideal length of this report, it easily digestible and useful. But just like above, stick with this book and leave all others alone until you're satisfied you have used it to help your business. And that word again:

Action.

When you get your ideas, then just do it - one at a time.

If you're an inexperienced marketer, then this will be an ideal read for you. It's all laid out in a methodical way. Just read, understand and implement in your own business as much as possible.

The thing that gets me about the 7 Figure Secrets offer is one of the bonuses. It's the 18 Full Color Process Map Blueprints. This is, to me, the most valuable part of this package. You're getting 18 full color blueprints for different aspects of your business. Blueprints are an asset to your business.

Although you may not follow these blueprints exactly, you may use them to adapt to your own business and create your own business plans and blueprints. What this bonus is doing for you is to guide you in your thinking and set you up so that you're not doing all the work. In other words, you not working for your business. Instead, your business is working for you.

There are two other bonuses that come with the 7 Figure Secrets report:

* The Butterfly Marketing Manuscript - Value: $97
* Free Issue - MarketingDotCom Magazine - Value: $29.95

People pay to read the Butterfly Marketing Manuscript. 120 pages long. It goes through 'Success' case studies that'll help you identify with people that have gone from nothing to success. And it will help you with marketing your business on the internet.

MarketingDotCom Magazine will issue to you free for one issue only. It contains articles are written by Mike FIlsaime and his crew. It goes into tips and tricks relative to marketing your business online.

But, is there a catch?

Yes there is a catch. And this is the catch (or catches) -

First of all, when you sign up, you're getting a free issue of MarketingDotCom Magazine. However, you're going to get more issues. Every month as a matter of fact. Only thing is, you'll pay for this each month. Once you give your credit card details for the shipping of the 7 Figure Secrets report, your credit card will then be billed monthly for further issues of this magazine.

Is this a bad thing?

In my opinion - no.

Because Mike clearly indicated that you will be billed. He highlights a support telephone number to cancel your subscription, before you card is even charged. I thought it important to point this out to you as a lot of people don't read through the copy properly and end up not knowing why their credit card bill is so high.

Another thing is that when you sign up, you're going to get some one time offers. You don't have to avail of them. However, it's up to you. You might decide that what is offered is something you want for your business.

So now you know. You're going in with your eyes wide open and know what to expect.

With that said, do I recommend getting the 7 Figure Secrets Report?

Absolutely Yes.

Mike knows that by offering you very high value for nothing (except the shipping costs), and if you succeed using that information, you will most likely become a customer of his. If not now, maybe further down the road.

Whether you choose to get the 7 Figure Secrets report, or not, I wish you luck in all your business endeavors now and in the future. At least now you know what to expect from the 7 Figure Secrets report.

SCADA--Where Are The Liabilities?

The regulatory environment is placing increased demands on SCADA systems, driving data capture and retention, documentation, training, security, policy, and reporting requirements.As a result, operators and vendors are taking steps to incorporate the impact of regulatory and legal issues (sometimes referred to collectively as "compliance" issues) into the design and use of the systems.

Legal requirements and trends have placed new emphasis on maintaining compliance, because compliance issues are subject to increasingly aggressive enforcement.Compliance is of great significance in any incident where SCADA systems may be a core component of an investigation, lawsuit, or regulatory enforcement action.Compliance failures have resulted in large fines, jail time, injunctive relief and bad press.

Threats to operators also include the potential for misinterpretation and misuse of data.Knowledge of the data, and the obligation to understand what it means or implies, will be imputed to operators and management.This means responsibility and punishment will reach into the highest levels of management.Operators and management are now facing the potential of charges of negligence being changed to allegations of willful misconduct.In addition, they are confronted with the possibility of criminal liability and increased civil exposure.

Businesses with any form of SCADA-controlled operations must be aware of potential liabilities and take prompt and appropriate actions to minimize them.Personnel with the responsibility and expertise to manage SCADA for and in these businesses are the first line of defense against charges of noncompliance violations and lawsuits.They should be able to recognize the various exposures faced by the company if the SCADA system (or an operation controlled by SCADA) fails operationally, suffers a security breach, or is in violation of compliance issues.

The following scenario illustrates the types of issues that can flow from a failure in an operation, especially a failure where an incident occurs.

If an operation fails in any way that is significant outside of the company, then it usually follows that agencies and other outsiders will become involved."Significant outside of the company" can mean an adverse economic impact on a third party ("the pipeline went down because of a leak, resulting in gasoline supply disruption"), injury or damage to the environment, or injury or death of any person (including an employee).

The outsiders will look at the failure and the company, either because they have the public charter to do so (the FTC at supply disruption, DOT at pipeline safety issues, OSHA at injuries or deaths of employees, law enforcement or injury or death of third parties, the EPA at environmental issues, etc.), or because they see an opportunity to make money (plaintiff lawyers).The outsiders will look at operations with 20/20 hindsight and, depending on the incident, may look deep into records, security, policies and procedures and the decisions of the company.

Although a failure may be SCADA related, the cause of the problem is usually external to the SCADA system.Provided the SCADA system is integrated correctly (incorporating the Holistic model consisting of operations, security, and compliance), it can actually help supply the answer to what caused the problem.

The SCADA records likely will have a critical place in the midst of the scrutiny.The first hurdle facing the company is ensuring that the records can be produced.There are certain requirements in regulatory schemes for records retention (for example, see 49 CFR 195.404 regarding liquid pipelines in the United States).Failure to produce the required records may not only be a violation, but may also raise a presumption that the company destroyed the data because it has something to hide.If a civil lawsuit is filed, rules regarding evidence preservation may come into play, along with issues regarding records that are part of common law requirements as well as regulations like Sarbanes-Oxley in the United States.

Assuming the records and data are available, they will be dissected to find any "problems" in operations.The scope of the investigations will not end there.Regulators and plaintiff lawyers will look at compliance, training given to operator personnel, the manuals and policies underlying training, the age of the system, physical security of the system, the ergonomics of the SCADA control room and system, and many other factors to find fault with the company.Even if the incident resulted from a security breach caused by a criminal act of a third party, the company will be held responsible on the theory that its security, because it was breached, was obviously insufficient.

Vendor exposures are also multi-faceted.During the course of an investigation, vendors will be subject to subpoena and discovery by regulators and plaintiff lawyers seeking information about the activities of the vendor on behalf of an operator.Vendors will need to have maintained their working files in accordance with the requirements of the operator's contract.Although contracts normally require the vendor to provide prompt access to its records and files, such access is predicated on auditing by the operator of the vendor's work, rather than seeking to preserve records that may become important during an investigation or litigation.

In the best of circumstances, vendors can plan on having their business disrupted if their client has a problem.In worse cases, the vendor can plan on being a defendant itself.In this scenario, the vendor may face the choice between accepting some liability or blaming its customer for the failure.The latter action may result in the vendor crippling its business prospects with not only the customer involved, but other operators in the industry.

Wholesale Video Games: Extreme Infamous Tactics

Let say that you have a successful wholesale video games accessory and your back up is your affiliated company that offers DVDs. Pay attention, this is one of the tools many of us on the top use to beat many competitors, make competitors paralyzed and not even make them think while the clock is ticking. It is the way you can beat an international master whose company runs plainly with logic and strategy.

Let us say that you have a big company, with a big budget and all that they do is mainly plan, apply strategy, and execute strategy. You want to beat the company and you do not know how to as their budget is, well, intimidating. Big successful companies gather such results by tracking their marketing campaigns and ultimately they often conclude whether to dump the marketing campaign or make additional strategic executions again.

Most of them, that is all they think when it comes to a marketing campaign. Where there is budget, there is planning, there is strategy and there is definitely a final results. How do you then plan and execute to become among those in the top quickly, and ultimately get to be number one when it comes to a home based business and you are against a giant corporation

The best tactics many of us, including myself, have ever used to beat giant corporations in numerous head to head marketing battles to number is called aggressiveness. By mentioning aggressiveness we do not mean attacking someone or going to Disney and giving a shot to Mickey Mouse, we are talking about the use of speed, quickness in the start and finish of a marketing campaign.

The faster you can upload wholesale video games accessories into your website script, the faster you will be able to offer them to people who are interested in the product you are offering, therefore, the faster you will be able to recognize reaction, marketing behavior, align results and conclude for either continued tactics or application of strategic planning. While there is no need to mention strategy, let us assume that you now know how important tactics are when it comes to marketing locally and online.

As you may know the military in war most often characterize their definition of tactics knowing about a certain order, the available disposition and by formation of their troops. With heavy studies and analysis over the last 4 years on the Internet, the same rules apply to marketing online and even locally. The more aggressive you are, the more vulnerable your competitor is to failing.

The more vulnerable your main competitor becomes, the more money he will need to invest in order to beat and survive the heat. There is a great hint of a famous quotation that has been written virtually for centuries by one of the best generals in world history. The quote says:

If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected - Sun Tzu, the Art of War.

As my love for Internet marketing grows incrementally and my new renewed full time marketer takes its place, know there are numerous tactics you may start to beat your competition. Whatever you end up doing in your wholesale video games business, have the wisdom of General Sun Tzu in mind all the time.
