I’m a heart surgeon. Heart operations take a long time. Sometimes 8 hours, or maybe longer.
So working long, hard stints isn’t strange or unusual for me.
Yesterday, I spent a marathon 8 hour session, working fast and furious with focus and concentration. Not in the operating room… but in my office.
The work was in preparation for a huge promotion involving partners from around the world for an annual event called
Congenital Heart Defects (CHD) are a lethal constellation of birth defects of the heart that affect millions of newborn infants and children worldwide; a killer that claims thousands of lives every year. Eight of every 1000 children born alive (0.8%) will have some form of congenital heart defect.
On this special day, February 14th, A DAY FOR HEARTS, a concerted global effort is being made to heighten awareness of this deadly group of diseases.
What was I working on?
A series of short ‘challenges’ – to get you involved, so you’ll learn something from the process, while at the same time you will help a child live.
There are 4 parts to this CHD SOCIAL MEDIA CHALLENGE… and they are all FREE.
(All programs begin on February 1st, right here on this blog)
# 10 Day Blog Profits Challenge
An intensive, fast-paced program where you’ll spend 1 to 2 hours a day for 10 days… and end up with a blog which already gets traffic, has links pointing to it, and even make some money! Over 1,400 people have taken the blog challenge in previous years – see what they say and register here
# 5 Day Squidoo Success Challenge
Squidoo is a powerful ‘do it yourself’ service to EASILY build a web presence and showcase your passions, interests and expertise. In 5 hectic, action-packed days, you will build 5 ‘lenses’ on Squidoo (we’ll show you how, even if you’ve never done it before) and then rocket it to the top of the charts… while helping spread CHD awareness as you do. See how you can join the fun!
# 7 Days To StumbleUpon Supremacy
A social media ‘traffic power-pump’, StumbleUpon has the potential to drown your website or blog in a deluge of targeted traffic… and that’s the skill you’ll master in 6 days in this challenge. Even use it to spread congenital heart defects awareness. Free traffic anyone? Come and get it! Click here for details.
This million-member ‘presence stream’ social media service is a strange beat. But micro-blogging on Twitter can deliver traffic, sales, JV deals, contacts and more. 6 days from now, you’ll be dipping into this vast network of people – to enrich your business and your life. Oh, and you’ll also be helping spread CHD awareness by ‘tweeting’. Learn how and sign up here.
It’s all available to you – for free.
Take one, or take them all. The more time you have, the harder you are willing to work, the more you’ll get from this experience. And the more you’ll be able to help with the Congenital Heart Defects Awareness effort.
Clear your calendar from February 1st to 14th. Subscribe to the Money.Power.Wisdom blog by RSS feed or email. Or just remember to drop by and collect the daily lessons.
At the end of this period, you’ll be reasonably skilled at social media marketing – and have a warm glow within from being involved in helping little children.
But that’s not all.
If you’d like to make a cash donation to help sponsor a heart operation (each surgery costs around $3,000), look at the HEART KIDS FIRESALE – a special discount sale that will go on until the end of February… and 100% of the money will go to sponsor a child’s operation, through the Dr.Mani Children Heart Foundation.
And for making a donation, you get to pick up $1004.87 worth of business expanding training and techniques in the all areas of modern business including social media marketing!
