Good read. Thanks, doc

You always pack such value into your short reports.

Just finished reading your manifesto. Good stuff, helpful. Thank you :)

Fantastic report. Someone had to say these things… thank you for being the one. Hopefully this will become a set of guidelines all newbies will follow in their business.

As your SMILENAIRE member, I know you live by the principals you list in the manifesto. Thank you for being a leader who walks the talk.

Splash!

What a Dip?

Brilliant Dr Mani – Straight from the Gut to the Core.

If, Maslow’s whatever of “Hierarchic Needs” still holds, this manifesto should be dissected & studied at all major Institutes, Colleges & Universities that accomadates the learning of Business – in any form.

Flash – listnening to the news – - – -

A committee similar to the one appointed to find out about the 9/11 incident, is to be appointed to find out the reason for the present state of economy.

Good report. To the point. Makes some great points.

12 Mary Waddel May 12, 2009 at 10:18 am

Thanks. I’m sure it will be helpful for me.

13 Ray Adams May 12, 2009 at 11:12 am

Hi Mani
You have hit upon the ‘magic formula’ in this manifesto. Bravo! Thanks

14 Joe Manson May 12, 2009 at 11:13 am

Thank you, Dr.Mani. I just finished reading your ‘VALUE FIRST’ manifesto. It is an eye-opener, and made me think. Good job.

15 Karthik May 12, 2009 at 1:18 pm

One part hit home really hard for me. You advice about not overloading buyers with your products. As a newbie, I bought so many overhyped programs because I didn’t know better. But those selling to me DID know. Did they benefit by selling me stuff I didn’t need at that time? Yes. But only in short term. I don’t go back to buy their programs again. If they had guided me right, I will keep on buying from them!

16 nicheminer May 12, 2009 at 2:48 pm

I appreciate that you keep it short
to the point, without wasting reader’s
time.
Nice reading.
Thank you

Great report Mani. I will write about it in my blog.

Good stuff, Dr.Mani. This will give business owners a base to launch any business.

Ohmyf***#@goodness, a feel-good pile of nonsense that’s got so many people excited and drooling! Grow up. REAL business isn’t nice and friendly.

How much does this cost???

22 C.Raman May 12, 2009 at 10:31 pm

I am brand new to infopreneur. Your report gave me a right guidance in how to build a success business. Thank you, doc.

23 Money.Power.Wisdom May 12, 2009 at 11:13 pm

@Joanne – Sorry, I had to take down the file temporarily to fix a
glitch. It’s up now – same link. :)

24 Money.Power.Wisdom May 12, 2009 at 11:16 pm

@A cynical blogger – I’m sorry you feel that way, in a cynical marketplace
that the Web has evolved into, I can understand how you might view askance
at it – but it is all the more important that those few people like YOU who
care enough to respond to my messages are given a peek into my real attitude
- because that indeed IS (I believe) at the core of what little success I’ve
managed to achieve working on my online business.

All success
Dr.Mani

25 Money.Power.Wisdom May 12, 2009 at 11:21 pm

@Jason Kramer – Which? The manifesto is a free download – from here
The free gift is yours to download – not even an email
address is required!

26 Cody James May 13, 2009 at 5:15 am

Very helpful. I still have trouble seeing how exctly this applies in my business. Maybe I can make it work if I come up with a way to make it relevant to my unique niche.

Why don’t you fix your blog?! I’ve tried posting again and agin, but my post simply won’t appear. I’ve wasted so much time!

28 Steven May 13, 2009 at 7:15 am

Excited to see what you have to say. Downloading now.

29 RJ May 13, 2009 at 9:15 am

I have read your manifesto. I still need to think over all the impacts you make, I guess. But thank you for the valuable information.

30 Food to the Rescue Cookbook May 13, 2009 at 12:18 pm

Dr. Mani,

Once again you have shared a simple but powerful MINDSET that if adopted there would be less trach on the market (and maybe less cynics in cyberspace ;-)

I’d like to learn more about how to implement this in my business.

What is the correct path to doing so?

31 Roger Carr May 13, 2009 at 1:25 pm

Great manifesto! Value First is a simple, important concept that is easy to forget when busy and unfocused.

32 Arun May 13, 2009 at 2:15 pm

My biggest challenge has been not being able to get feedback. None of my subscribers respond when I run a survey or ask a question. I thought it was because they were too busy, or were nervous to write, or something else.

After reading your VALUE FIRST manifesto, I’m am beginning to realise it might be that my focus is always on ME – not them, as it should be. I hope you will sometime consider creating a mre elaborate program or ebook teaching how to put the outline into action, for beginners.

These principles are not new.

But I have never before seen them as coherently articulated, as passionately declared, or as sincerely expressed.

This advice is not unique.

Others have said similar things.
But this is the first time I have seen them all brought together and integrated into a comprehensive web-commerce code, which would make a person proud to live up to.

This is not the first Internet Marketing document to call itself a ‘manifesto’.

But it is unusual in that it truly deserves the name.
It’s a concise declaration of principles and intention.

It’s also a comprehensive and inspirational code of conduct.
It could almost be described as a ‘Sermon on the Mount’ for Internet Marketing!

It has been said, “Make service your first priority, and success will follow.”

Douglas Adams wrote that to give real service, you must add something which cannot be bought or measured with money, and that is: sincerity and integrity.

Dr Mani does this, and is an example to us all.

34 John Rogers May 13, 2009 at 6:41 pm

Every gooroo out there would do well to read your message, and take heed.

35 dileepa May 14, 2009 at 5:34 am

@A cynical blogger.

You say – “REAL business isn’t nice and friendly.”

A cynical blogger – you name your self.

Where in the world, may I ask, does a Cynic find something or someone that can be described as “nice & friendly.”

Hey! Hey! KJ

A long time ago, there was this writing:

“”You will be what you will be;
– - – - – - – - – -
– - – - – - – - – -
– - – - – - – - – -
When the spirit raises & commands,
The gods are ready to obey.

Would you care enough to have a sneak in to James Allen’s “As a man Tninketh.”

I love running my own infopreneur business and have been trying to figure out what to do next. Your report helps in a way. I will look at growth from a new angle now, from the point of helping my folks rather than merely chasing the dollar.

37 RF May 14, 2009 at 5:14 pm

Thanks for letting me have an ‘early preview’ of the ‘Value First Manifesto’. I had been looking for some directon in the way to take my biz forwards and was glad to see you provided some abstract, yet useful guidance – great read!

38 DuncanM May 15, 2009 at 12:22 pm

Great report and principles Dr Mani – concise and to the point, well done.

39 George Kedourie May 16, 2009 at 7:13 pm

Thank You again for your integrity!

I have said it before and I am sure that I will say it again.

I mastermind with a group and this is something we have discussed and want to keep very much in mind on a new site that we just begun.

George

40 amitchell May 19, 2009 at 7:02 am

You know, not only is this spot on, but it applies to *all* areas of life (including relationships) – not just to Internet marketing!

Thank you for being the man of integrity that you are!

Dr. Mani, your voice rings so clearly throughout your Manifesto. It’s exactly what you’ve been doing for years, which is why you have respect and status within the Internet marketing community. Your readers know that whatever information you provide, it will have value to them and their business.

43 Bob Crawford June 2, 2009 at 4:20 am

Wonderful Dr. Mani! Thank you for inspiring me to look at my work with fresh eyes.

Peace,
Bob

Providing value has always been my strategy, and by following this philosophy, everyone wins.
