Today, Sunday, is day two of the seven day cruise and the weather is finally getting warmer as we sail further south. The schedule for the morning was left open so we had the opportunity to explore the ship and learn where rooms, restaurants, shops etc were located. Speaking of that, I learned there are 3950 guests on board, 430 are the Internet Marketers, and the Dream can accommodate 4633 guests plus the crew of 1369. Just think of the number of meals that will be served during the seven day cruise.
This afternoon we had a three hour Mastermind Meeting conducted by Mike Filsaime. Every person was given 30 seconds to state their name, where they are from, what they had to offer, what they need and state their name again at the end of the 30 seconds. This was very beneficial because it gave us the opportunity to know who we could help and who could help those that needed help. The good thing about doing this at the beginning of the cruise is it allows people to get together during the cruise and have a plan of action by the end of the cruise.
The cruise will have two formal dinner nights and tonight was the first of the two. The seating was open seating and I was fortunate to sit at the table with Reed Floreen. Reed is one of the top giveaway promoters and he was gracious enough to say he would educate me on the giveaways and the J.V. portion within the giveaways. At the time of this writing, I am building my list by the giveaways and I am positive if I knew the ins and outs of the program I would build my list larger at a faster pace. If I get just half the knowledge that Reed had I will be smokin with my list building. As you can see from the picture, an old dog can learn new tricks (I’m the old guy in the picture). Thank you Reed!
Until tomorrow
Go out and make it a $ucce$$ful day! Reed Floreen and Roger Neumann
Go out and make it a successful day!

The day finally arrived for the launch of the Internet Marketers Cruise from Port Canaveral on Carnival’s newest and largest ship the Dream. This ship is over 1000 feet in length and today there are over 3000 guests on board. That number includes the 430 Internet Marketers, people of like minds working and having fun together. We all started the day from the hotel or airport in a raining, cold, windy and overcast day. We had to stand in line outside and wait our turn to get inside to go through the check-in phase of the cruise. Here we are, a bunch of people outside bundled up with gloves, coats and hoods trying to stay warm until we could find some warmth on the ship. Everyone finally got onboard and we are sailing south to find that warm weather.
We got onboard around 1:30 P.M. and had our first meal on the ship. Needless to say, everyone was ready for some food. About 4:00 P.M. the Dream pushed off and started our seven cruise.
Later that evening, we had our Welcome Party where Mike Filsaime, Donna Fox, Tom Beal and Captain Lou shared the events of the week. Following the party, it was time for dinner and we all went to our assigned table of a delicious meal. My wife, Diane, and I were lucky to share a table with Melinda and Omar Martin. Omar worked closely with Mike Filsaime for years and he was gracious enough to give my wife and me some valuable information on how to become successful in the Internet Marketing arena. I will share some of that information in the near future.
Until tomorrow, go out and make it a $ucce$$ful day!

 Today is the day prior to departure of our 7 day cruise and people are coming in from around the globe. My wife and I had breakfast and met people from the US, Netherlands, Africa, San Salvador, Australia etc. From the people we spoke with we learned that the first time Internet Marketers Cruisers and the repeat Internet Marketers Cruisers were about a 50/50 split. I can do a better split test when I have more information and data. The repeat cruisers all stated that the investment was well worth the knowledge, information and networking shared during the cruise and before and after the cruise.
This evening we had our Welcome Reception and had the opportunity to meet many people that are starting in the internet marketing arena, some that have been in the internet marketing arena for a long time and of course; some of the well know internet marketers. I am not going to mention any names except for the one in the picture which is Donna Fox.
More tomorrow.
Go out and make it a $ucce$$ful day!

Hello hyper-space.
It is Thursday, 7 January 2010, and two days prior to the Internet Marketers cruise day. My wife, Diane, and I had planned to be in Orlando, Fl. tomorrow to be in place for the cruise launch but we changed our plans. Mother Nature decided to make it a challenge to get in place for the cruise. The weather report for our area in Dallas, Tx was for record breaking cold temperatures with icing conditions for Thursday night. That meant slippery conditions getting to the airport on Friday morning.
Once we did get to the airport, the plane would need to be de-iced which would cause us to miss our connecting flight from Houston, Tx to Orlando, Fl. To prevent that problem, we elected to leave a day earlier and spend an extra night at our hotel in Orlando. We were playing on the side of caution. We drove to Dallas Wednesday night and stayed at a friend’s home and he took us to the airport the next morning. Guess what? Mother Nature came a day earlier than forecasted and we had to slip and slide to the airport.
We did make our flight, got de-iced and flew to Houston. Everything was working perfectly until we tried to get on our flight to Orlando and discovered there were no seats available for us due to overbooking. Now what? We learned the flight to Tampa, Fl had available seats and it was leaving in 30 minutes so we elected to go to Tampa. The good news is our bags made it to Orlando and the bad news is we made it to Tampa.
Arriving to Tampa, we rented a car and drove to Orlando’s airport, picked up our bags and drove to our hotel. Check-in at the hotel went smoothly and our room seems to be in good shape. From this point on, I KNOW everything will go well and I will gain a wealth of knowledge and information that will benefit me and others as I will share what I learn on the cruise.
I will keep you posted on the days events during the cruise. More to follow.
Go out and make it a $ucce$$ul day!
Go out and make it a successful day!

Yep, time is near for the Internet Marketers Cruise to set sail this Saturday, 9 January 2010, and you probably will miss the boat. This is a great opportunity to network with the cream of the crop in the arena of internet marketing business. I could give you a list of names that will be on the cruise; however, I know there will be some names that I would leave out and I don’t want to make the mistake. Don’t worry, I am planning to post a daily blog while I am on the cruise to help you keep informed of the functions we have during the week.
If you have any questions you want me to ask for you during the cruise, please post them on the comment section and I will try to get an answer for you. You and I both know the Gurus will be busy and their time will be limited but I will do my best to get your answer.
Time for me to start packing so this one is short and sweet.
Next year I want to see YOU on the cruise.
Go out and make it a successful day!
