			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Along this path in our own self development, all of a sudden we find the answers. Sometimes it is instant while other times in it a slow drawn out process. Either way, the answer is out there for you if you just keep searching. That is what happened to a person we consider to be a great friend <strong>Edward Elliott</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="http://edwardrecommends.com" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2010 alignright" title="Edward Elliott -EdwardRecommends.com" src="http://daveanddawncook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Edward-Elliotts-blog-header-300x54.png" alt="Edward Recommends" width="300" height="54" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Edward</strong> was in search of something better, but sometimes the solution isn&#8217;t right in front of our faces all the time. In order to find them you need to search, search and search some more&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Edward</strong> now feels that he is on the right path and heading in the direction where his life was meant to go. Over the past several months we have seen him grow and many others from their involvement in <strong>TSA</strong> and by just hanging around other people looking for the same solutions.</p>
<div id="attachment_1947" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 190px"><a href="http://daveanddawncook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/TSAlogo.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1947 " title="TribeDomination.com" src="http://daveanddawncook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/TSAlogo-300x276.png" alt="TribeDomination.com" width="180" height="166" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Changing the Future... by Working Together...</p></div>
<p>As they say, &#8220;You become like the 5 people who you socialize with most.&#8221; Like <strong>Edward</strong> and ourselves, we found these people after a long search and it has helped us greatly.</p>
<p>Now we&#8217;d like you to hear <strong>Edward&#8217;s</strong> story and you can do that by going to <span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><a title="Edward Elliott's Story" href="http://tribedomination.com" target="_blank">TribeDomination.com</a></strong></span> You may very well be inspired by him, just like we have been.</p>
<p>Self development is so important because we can&#8217;t achieve a level of success that exceeds our level of self development.  We love to have masterminded with <strong>Edward Elliott</strong>, <strong>Matthew Neer</strong> and <strong>Gavin Mountford</strong> since each is on the same path of self development as we are and we learn so much from them.</p>
<p>Make your personal self development a top priority and learn from those you are on the same path, like <strong>Edward Elliott</strong>. Go and watch his <span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><a title="Edward Elliott's Story" href="http://tribedomination.com" target="_blank">video</a></strong></span> and learn the secret that has worked for him.  It may be part of the solution you are looking for.</p>
<p>Thank you <strong>Edward</strong> for sharing your story!  <span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><a title="Edward Elliott's Story" href="http://tribedomination.com" target="_blank">TribeDomination.com</a></strong></span></p>
<p>Committed to Your Success!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey Guys,</p>
<p>We are just like you and have had so many of the same life and business experiences that you&#8217;ve had.  If you don&#8217;t believe us, please take a look at our video&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><a title="Dave and Dawn Cook's Story (Your Story)" href="http://tribedomination.com" target="_blank">Watch >>> Tribe Domination</a></strong></span><span style="font-size: small;"><strong> Now do you agree? </strong></span></p>
<p>We were also<strong> stuck</strong> (and didn&#8217;t even know it) in dead-end jobs that we thought were the financial key to our dreams and we bet the same is true for you.</p>
<div id="attachment_1947" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 228px"><a href="http://daveanddawncook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/TSAlogo.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-1947  " title="TribeDomination.com" src="http://daveanddawncook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/TSAlogo.png" alt="TribeDomination.com" width="218" height="201" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Changing the Future... by Working Together...</p></div>
<p>As we spent each raise and went deeper into debt, we thought we were doing the right thing.  <strong>Is that you?</strong></p>
<p>We had <strong>No Clue</strong> that our level of success was directly related to our level of self development and therefore we had no increase in our level of success.  <strong>Is that you too?</strong></p>
<p>We knew nothing about the fact that being an entrepreneur was<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> not an option</span></strong>, but a <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">requirement</span></strong>.  We thought we could rely on someone else, our former employers and our franchiser.  Boy, were we wrong.  Have you made the same mistakes?</p>
<p>By reading an important life-changing book, we knew we <strong>had to do something different</strong>.  In our search for our vehicle to entrepreneurial success, we were introduced to a fool-proof method <strong>IF</strong> we were willing to put in ALL our efforts.  Like us, YOU are ready to put in <strong>100% of your efforts, right?</strong></p>
<p>OK then, <span id="more-1962"></span></p>
<p><strong>Watch Our Video Now&#8230; &gt;&gt;&gt;</strong> <span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><a title="Dave and Dawn Cook's Story (Your Story)" href="http://tribedomination.com/" target="_blank">Tribe Domination</a></strong></span></p>
<p>Social media, what&#8217;s that?  That was our question about three years ago.  Luckily we, like many of you, decided we had to know the answer and we <strong>Spent Thousands of Dollars</strong> until we had the answer.</p>
<p>A <strong>TRIBE</strong>, what&#8217;s that and what benefits does it offer?  That was our next question spurred by some of the great trainings we&#8217;ve been investing in.  Again, we dove in beyond our first exposure to a tribe, and we took it a <strong>HUGE step</strong> further.  In the process, we discovered our true<strong> GOLD MINE</strong>, which is the TRUE benefit offered by creating a Tribe.  That phenomenal benefit is <strong>HELPING OTHERS</strong>.  Creating a tribe (which you can do as well) has enabled us to <strong>HELP OTHERS FIRST</strong> and the rewards back to us  have come and continue to come as we continue to help others.</p>
<p>A group of entrepreneurs who were going in the same direction we were going and with the same dedication to 100% effort.  <a href="http://tribedomination.com"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1973" title="Success" src="http://daveanddawncook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/success.jpg" alt="Tribe Syndication" width="320" height="240" /></a>What came through all this for us (and the same will happen for you)? We met our<strong> mastermind group</strong>Our mastermind group developed first with <strong>Matthew Neer</strong>, who builds his brand through blogging and SEO expertise and he&#8217;s a master of affiliate marketing.  Then we discovered <strong>Gavin Mountford</strong>, a relationship-building expert using Facebook to a tee who is also a master of Social Proof.  The last to join our mastermind group was <strong>Edward Elliott</strong>, a computer science expert with the required mindset who has become a master of syndication.  Our mastermind group was complete and the synergy of all our skills drives us forward consistently.  You can also attract your mastermind group. <strong>But how and when???</strong></p>
<p>That&#8217;s where we can help. We&#8217;ve done it ourselves and now we understand how we can help you achieve the same.</p>
<p>By stepping out of our <span style="text-decoration: underline;">comfort zone</span>, we attracted what we needed to propel the success of our tribe and as a result, our own success. By watching our story, you&#8217;ll realize that we are <strong>no different than YOU</strong>.  And by that fact, you&#8217;ll know YOU can do the very <strong>SAME for YOURSELF!</strong></p>
<p>Doesn&#8217;t that preceding sentence make you want to watch our video right NOW?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If your leadership skills suck it’s because you SUCK! Those are some harsh words aren’t they. Too Bad. The question you have to ask yourself is whether it is true or not? The only reason I am saying this is to make you feel a little uncomfortable. If I have accomplished that, then I did what I set out to do.</p>
<p>You see, the only time we change in life is when we are uncomfortable PERIOD</p>
<p><a href="http://daveanddawncook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/leadership-arrow.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1745 alignright" title="leadership arrow" src="http://daveanddawncook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/leadership-arrow-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="200" /></a>As you are reading this, you are probably sitting in your chair and when you get a little uncomfortable you’ll probably move around until you find that perfect relaxed position. If you are not uncomfortable, then you probably won’t do a thing to make things better. Right? That’s no different than being a follower vs. a leader.</p>
<p>So, be truthful with me and more importantly, with yourself. Are you the Leader you want to be in life? Are you maybe just a little too comfortable where you are and you are not willing to go to that next level because it will be UNCOMFORTABLE?<span id="more-1743"></span></p>
<p>I have personally faced my own struggles, self doubts in life and shortcomings to the point where I was doubting my progress every single moment of the day. We moved away from very lucrative careers striving for a better life down here in Florida. We opened businesses locations which were making over $150,000.00 per year to lose them to a competitor. We tried and tried with little success in some of these areas. We started Network Marketing with the dreams of becoming rich over night. Man, we were naive! We started using social media thinking that it will be the answer to our prays rather than our warm market. Once again, we were naive!  Not until we realized that it wasn&#8217;t the businesses and it was &#8220;us&#8221; did we start becoming successful. Then when it really became uncomfortable, that is when we made a commitment to ourselves to do whatever it takes to overcome and achieve MAJOR SUCCESS in life.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8Xz3_vxIvIs&amp;autoplay=0&amp;rel=0&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999&amp;border=0&amp;loop=0" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8Xz3_vxIvIs&amp;autoplay=0&amp;rel=0&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999&amp;border=0&amp;loop=0" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>We learned that with anything in life, you have to be willing to pay the price and grow! And believe me that there is a price for everything in life. With success there is a price and what is even a worse price is failure. Personal awareness and self development was the right path for us. If you don&#8217;t acquire the skills to become better, you never will.</p>
<p>Becoming a Leader in your business and personal life will set you free to become whatever you want to achieve. When you really want to become a great leader and you want to take your business and personal life along a faster path… your Education &amp; your Expectations is the key which unlocks your success.</p>
<p>When you realize and answer &#8216;YES&#8217; to wanting to become a better leader… then you have the heart of a CHAMPION who will &#8216;do whatever it takes&#8217; to create your dreams.</p>
<p>You will need to trust me to believe there is another view . . . as I have been there and will tell you exactly how it is even if it&#8217;s not what you want to really hear. Making you feel uncomfortable is the best way I know how to make you want more in life. Without change and stepping out of your “COMFORT ZONE”, you’ll always get what you got and don’t you deserve more?</p>
<p>You bet you do!</p>
<p>Now get out there and do what it takes to become a great LEADER!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whether you are in Tribe Syndication Association (TSA) or not, you are not going to want to miss this free webinar. You may be asking yourself, &#8220;What the heck is TSA?&#8221; Well, let me tell you, my friends. TSA, as we call it, is one of the FASTEST growing social media tribes on the net PERIOD.</p>
<p><a href="http://daveanddawncook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/TSA-Logo-200x200.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-1646 alignright" title="TSA Logo 200x200" src="http://daveanddawncook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/TSA-Logo-200x200.png" alt="" width="200" height="200" /></a>Back in early January of this year, I started thinking about the social media tribe concept. Social Media Tribes are where people come together in one place and help each other by promoting each others content around the internet. Most tribes at this time were using systems like Skype or similar tools and were meeting once a week to &#8220;blast their content&#8221; out across the airwaves during an hour. To me, this concept wasn&#8217;t powerful enough because the same people were the only ones commenting &#8230; Plus, what if some people in your tribe couldn&#8217;t make it to that Skype call and what if and what if and the list goes on. Now I&#8217;m not saying that it didn&#8217;t provide value. It did. But, was is really that powerful?</p>
<p>Now imagine a system to where there&#8217;s an organized system, where you can access it anytime and syndicate on your schedule, where there&#8217;s a rotation of over 100+ people to maximize getting hits from different IP Addresses, where people are syndicating over 25,000+ of material per week, where people in this tribe are leaving over 1,000+ blog comments per week!!!</p>
<p>Now that&#8217;s POWER!<br />
Now that&#8217;s Tribe Syndication Association (TSA)!<br />
Best of all, we do it for you and it&#8217;s All FREE!!!<span id="more-1627"></span></p>
<p>In TSA, you get the benefit of getting your content syndicated as long as you are in a giving place yourself. In other words, the more you give, the more you get. Don&#8217;t Give, Don&#8217;t Get! It&#8217;s a beautiful thing! As one of our favorite mentors Jim Rohn says, &#8220;You have to deserve your harvest. You&#8217;ll have a harvest if you plant. Don&#8217;t plant. No HARVEST!&#8221; Simple words, but so true. Man, I&#8217;m starting to sound like Jim Rohn. lol  I guess that is to be expected when you surround yourself with great minds. Surround yourself with idiots and tell me what happens? True wisdom my friends, true wisdom.</p>
<p>In the process of developing TSA, I have had the wonderful pleasure and honor to surround myself with some great people. Learning from blog posts, building relationships and the list goes on too far to mention all the benefits. TSA has changed Dawn and I for the better. Through our relationship building over this time period and before, we created what most people would call a Core Mastermind Group. Now we have more than this in our core group, but Matthew Neer begin_of_the_skype_highlighting     end_of_the_skype_highlighting, Gavin Mountford and Edward Elliott have contributed greatly in this process.</p>

<p>That being the case, we decided to put together something even better to help TSA and non-TSA friends. You are invited to the FIRST EVER live TSA (Tribe Syndication Association) training webinar in which we&#8217;ll be teaching the secrets of the top TSA leaders including Attraction Marketing, Blogging, Twitter, Video, Facebook, and Syndication to help you drive a MASSIVE amount of traffic through your personal brand.</p>
<p>Each of these above mediums in their own right are incredibly POWERFUL, but when you combine them together, the SYNERGY is immense!</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve been involved with Tribe Syndication Association for a while or are brand new to this industry then DON&#8217;T MISS OUT on this as we&#8217;ll be teaching the top tips and techniques used by the experts to BUILD their business online.</p>
<p>*You DO NOT need to be a member of the TSA to take part in this<br />
*You DO NOT need to have a blog (Yet)<br />
*You DO NOT need to have done anything like this before</p>
<p>But&#8230;</p>
<p>If you want to get more traffic to your business opportunity, website, capture page or personal brand and if you are motivated and SERIOUSLY want to build your business using the Internet and working together as part of a team with other AMAZING members of the TSA, then this is for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now some of you are looking at this post title and saying to yourself <strong>&#8220;What the heck is Dave calling me?&#8221;</strong> I&#8217;m not saying that you are using social media to sell your body to others for money but, a lot of people are using social media to push their businesses to make a quick buck. To me, this is very <strong>similar to a &#8220;Street Walker&#8221; asking every John that passes her what can I do to get your money?</strong> When it comes to social media, are you going to be a force for good? Or are you going to turn to the dark side – ruining your chances and infuriating those who cross your path?</p>
<div id="attachment_1618" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://daveanddawncook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Social-Media-Street-Walker.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1618 " title="Social Media Street Walker" src="http://daveanddawncook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Social-Media-Street-Walker-300x200.png" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Are You A Social Media Prostitute?</p></div>
<p>Social media when used properly is about building relationships and not about instant money. I&#8217;m sure all of you see it time and time again, but maybe you don&#8217;t realize that you may be doing similar things. <strong>Selling your reputation for a quick sale in social media will be your demise in the future.</strong> Just like a prostitute, many people on the internet are looking for the quick buck! For those who use this approach, the money will come from time to time, but in the end, do you really think these people can hold their heads high? Building integrity should be first and foremost and then the monetary <span id="more-1608"></span>rewards will come in the end.</p>
<p>Unfortunately too many people using social media don&#8217;t understand these basic concepts. Everyone is looking for that Winning Lotto Ticket and will do almost anything to hit those winning numbers. Social Media is not a sprint. <strong>It&#8217;s a marathon!</strong> Building relationships for the future should be our focus and not about some small instant gratification today.</p>
<p>Now what do I mean when I say <strong>&#8220;Are You A Social Media Prostitute?&#8221;</strong> Let&#8217;s take a look at it from a funny comedian&#8217;s perspective to keep it lite and humorous. As Jeff Foxworthy might  say:<br />
<strong><br />
<em>Do you add friends on Facebook and then immediately pitch them on your business? Then you might be a Social Media Prostitute!</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Do you upload videos on the internet mainly about your opportunity? Then you might be a Social Media Prostitute!</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>While building your relationships on the internet, you&#8217;re thinking how can I sell this person! Then you might be a Social Media Prostitute!</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>If you have more than two posts on your blog about your business and give links to your biz site. Then you might be a Social Media Prostitute!</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>When you post a Tweet that redirects them for a way to make you money, then you might be a Social Media Prostitute!</em></strong><em><em> </em></em></p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pJ1PZkH-33I&amp;autoplay=0&amp;rel=0&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999&amp;border=0&amp;loop=0" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pJ1PZkH-33I&amp;autoplay=0&amp;rel=0&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999&amp;border=0&amp;loop=0" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p><em>Dawn and I see this all the time and most of us don&#8217;t like it when it&#8217;s done to us <strong>PERIOD</strong>. We know how a lot of people feel out there. Times are tough and we see all this potential to make money because we have all these friends <img src='http://daveanddawncook.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  We are probably in the top 10% for the most friends and followers on the internet, but Dawn and I don&#8217;t use this social media spamming approach to make money. Don&#8217;t get me wrong. I would love to make a lot of money right now, but social media spamming isn&#8217;t going to make this happen. Your reputation and the way you treat others in life is what should come first and foremost! I struggle with this every day myself and want that winning lotto ticket, <strong>but I am not going to become a Social Media Prostitute in order to achieve it!</strong></em></p>
<p>Do me a favor and leave me your thoughts on this post. Am I on target or should we cave in and become a Social Media Prostitute like over 90% of the rest of the people on the net?</p>
<p><strong>Committed To Your Success!</strong><br />
