In case you're not on Markus Allen's notification list, I wanted to let you know that this week's Stump Markus live podcast will be a little later in the day. He's testing a new time to see if more people are able to attend.

So Mike Filsaime's Review Crusher came out today, or, more accurately, was to come out today but was pre-released 4 days ago. (I'm not sure what kind of strategy Mike had in mind there or how successful it was.) The offer is now on hold. Several (okay, 87) refunded copies are still available; he says he won't be selling any more. Update: as of July 29, the offer is again active.

Please watch this video and join my campaign:

Bill Bartmann,once ranked #25 of the wealthiest Americans, spoke to us first on Friday on the topic of "How to Borrow All the Money Your Business Needs." Before he got to that, though, he had these thoughts on being successful:

"The only opinion of you that matters is your own."

"You have to learn to forgive"—those who did something, those who did nothing, and yourself.

"Everything in life is a choice. Choose wisely."

By the way, I recently signed up for Twitter (yes, I know, it's about time) and I twittered (tweeted? What's the correct verb?) throughout the seminar as I found interesting quotes. You can follow me here.

So I actually spent two days at The Ultimate Business Seminar, since at the end of the day Chris Howard let us one-day pass holders know that we could attend the next two days free. (I have commitments at church on Sundays, so I didn't stay the third day. Bummer. I missed Joel Comm and Jay Abraham.)

Following on to my previous post about Free Traffic Bar, after receiving an update notification today in the News component, I updated the toolbar. (I'm not sure why there are two similar commands for getting the latest version or why they're not simply using the extensions updater in Firefox, though.)

Free Trafic Bar was updated this past weekend, most importantly (for me) adding compatibility for Firefox 3. I had put off upgrading to FF3 until more extensions were updated; I bit the bullet this weekend before I found out about the FTB update and so far I have mixed feelings about Firefox 3. But this post is about FTB...

Anyone planning on being at Chris Howard's Ultimate Business Seminar in LA next weekend? I'm going to be there on Friday and would like to meet up with y'all.

One of the great things about running help desk software is getting support tickets that serve as fodder for my blog posts. Tickets like this one are not common, but probably represent a number of buyers of Internet marketing products who haven't yet taken the steps necessary for success:
