“Han: …….. You’re all clear, kid.”

Han (Alex Jeffreys) Solo

“LUKE: (laughing) I knew you’d come back! I just knew it!”

So they did it!  Technical difficulties (well, some of them) are no more.  All is well in the Jeffreys’ household again!

Module#1 is in the members area and ready for serious (re)consideration.

So for your continued entertainment (I am here to serve) and to ‘close the loop’ here is the conclusion of the adventure started a few days ago……..

Additional cast members:

Luke: YOU (as a student of Alex)

Darth Vadar: PayPal

Ben: Mike Filsaime (who is alive and well and was not harmed in anyway!)

Wingman/ Interior Voice: Sometimes a wingman is just a wingman (unless he is an Interior Voice)

The Story continues…..

INTERIOR: MILLENNIUM FALCON — COCKPIT.

Han and Chewbacca grin from ear to ear.

HAN: (yelling) Yahoo! (Google MSN….any search engine that get’s me traffic!)

EXTERIOR: SPACE AROUND THE DEATH STAR.

The Millennium Falcon heads right at the two TIE fighters.
It’s a collision course.

INTERIOR: WINGMAN’S COCKPIT.

The wingman spots the pirateship coming at him and warns the
Dark Lord (Paypal).

WINGMAN: Look out!

EXTERIOR: DEATH STAR TRENCH.

Vader’s wingman panics at the sight of the oncoming pirate
starship and veers radically to one side, colliding with
Vader’s TIE fighter in the process. Vader’s wingman crashes
into the side wall of the trench and explodes. Vader’s damaged
ship spins out of the trench with a damaged wing.

EXTERIOR: SPACE AROUND THE DEATH STAR.

Vader’s ship spins out of control with a bent solar fin,
heading for deep space.

INTERIOR: DARTH VADER’S COCKPIT.

Vader turns round and round in circles as his ship spins
into space.

EXTERIOR: SURFACE OF THE DEATH STAR.

Solo’s ship moves in toward the Death Star trench.

INTERIOR: MILLENNIUM FALCON — COCKPIT.

Solo, smiling, speaks to Luke over his headset mike.

HAN: (into mike) You’re all clear, kid.

INTERIOR: MASSASSI OUTPOST — WAR ROOM.

Leia and the others listen to Solo’s transmission.

HAN: (over speaker) Now let’s blow this thing and go home (pack our bags and hit a Caribbean Island with Broadband and make a ton of money while we are there)!

INTERIOR: LUKE’S X-WING FIGHTER — COCKPIT.

Luke looks up and smiles. He concentrates on the exhaust port,
then fires his laser torpedoes.

EXTERIOR: SURFACE OF THE DEATH STAR.

Luke’s torpedoes shoot toward the port and seems to simply
disappear into the surface and not explode. But the shots do
find their mark and have gone into the exhaust port and are
heading for the main reactor.

INTERIOR: LUKE’S X-WING FIGHTER — COCKPIT.

Luke throws his head back in relief.

INTERIOR: DEATH STAR.

An Imperial soldier runs to the control panel board and pulls
the attack lever as the board behind him lights up.

INTERCOM VOICE: Stand by to fire at Rebel base.

EXTERIOR: SPACE AROUND THE DEATH STAR.

Two X-wings, a Y-wing, and the pirateship race toward Yavin in
the distance.

INTERIOR: DEATH STAR.

Several Imperial soldiers, flanking a pensive Grand Moff
Tarkin, busily push control levers and buttons (and going through his pockets for Imperial Credit Cards)

INTERCOM VOICE: Standing by.

The rumble of a distant explosion begins.

EXTERIOR: SPACE AROUND THE DEATH STAR.

The Rebel ships race out of sight, leaving the moon-like Death
Star alone against a blanket of stars. Several small flashes
appear on the surface. The Death Star bursts into a supernova,
creating a spectacular heavenly display.

INTERIOR: MILLENNIUM FALCON — COCKPIT.

HAN: Great shot, kid. That was one in a million (dollar business!).

INTERIOR: LUKE’S X-WING FIGHTER — COCKPIT.

Luke is at ease, and his eyes are closed.

BEN’S VOICE: Remember, the Force will be with you…always.

The ship rocks back and forth.

EXTERIOR: DARTH VADER’S TIE FIGHTER.

Vader’s ship spins off into space.

EXTERIOR: SPACE.

The Rebel ships race toward the fourth moon of Yavin.

INTERIOR: MASSASSI OUTPOST — MAIN HANGAR.

Luke climbs out of his starship fighter and is cheered by a
throng of ground crew and pilots. Luke climbs down the ladder
as they all welcome him with laughter, cheers, and shouting.
Princess Leia rushes toward him.

LEIA: Luke! Luke! Luke!

She throws her arms around Luke and hugs him as they dance
around in a circle. Solo runs in toward Luke and they embrace
one another, slapping each other on the back.

HAN: (laughing) Hey! Hey!

LUKE: (laughing) I knew you’d come back! I just knew it!

HAN: Well, I wasn’t gonna let you get all the credit and take all the
reward.

Luke and Han look at one another, as Solo playfully shoves
at Luke’s face. Leia moves in between them.

LEIA: (laughing) Hey, I knew there was more to you than money.

And so our Intrepid Internet Heros survive to fight another online battle…..

Now that everything is back up and running I will be reviewing the information (including the bits I missed ;-) ) and uncovering the things that will make me an Internet Jedi (did I just coin a phrase?)

Watch this space………..

(P.S For you who have noticed that the previous post and this are from different episodes of Star Wars….STOP THINKING ABOUT IT AND GET BACK TO MAKING MONEY!)

“Alex:..ready for light-speed? One..two…three!

“It’s Not My Fault….”

Alex and Gang have had a few technical issues with getting the webinar and other material up in the members area; so we have all had to show a little patience.

So here for your entertainment, as we await greatness, I have imagined what it might be like in the Jeffreys household over the last few days….

Cast are as follows:

Han: One Alex Jeffreys
Leia: The Beautiful Katie (soon to be Jeffreys)
Chewie: Il Cameron (the little big guy, son of said Alex
and heir to the throne and sorry if name is spelt wrong!)
C3PO: Server Dude (based in Asia no doubt!)

Bridge of Millenium Falcon: aka Alex’s Office

Han: Let’s get out of here (and make people a ton of money!) One…two…three!

Han pulls back on the hyperspace throttle and — nothing happens. Flak bursts continue to rock the ship.

HAN: (frantic) It’s not fair!

Chewie is very angry and starts to growl and bark at hisfriend and captain.

Again, Han desperately pulls back on the throttle.

HAN: The transfer circuits are working. It’s not my fault!

Chewie puts his head in his hands, whining.

LEIA: (almost expecting it) No light-speed?

HAN: It’s not my fault.

THREEPIO: Sir, we just lost the main rear deflector shield. One more direct hit on the back quarter and we’re done for.

Han pauses for a moment, makes a decision, and pulls back on a lever.

HAN: Turn her around (switch servers for goodness sake!)

Chewie barks in puzzlement.

HAN: I said turn her around! I’m going to put all power in the frontshield.

LEIA: You’re going to attack them?!

THREEPIO: Sir, the odds of surviving a direct assault on an ImperialStar (Server) Destroyer…

LEIA: Shut up!

And so the story goes for our Intrepid Internet Heros….

WILL THEY MAKE IT…………????

Stay tuned to find out!

Feel free to leave a comment if you like….I would love to visit your blog too!

“And They’re Off….” the Alex Jeffreys Coaching Program Module #1

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

header2

“Will the Welsh Man Deliver?”

That was the question I asked myself sitting at my PC at 10:56 PM GMT (I live in Ireland).  I could feel my anticipation rising….I was genuinely excited (or at least as much as grown man should about these things!)

Sure I had had a busy day and was quite frankly tired (if you have kids you will know what I mean) but with the prospect of being ‘personally’ coached by Alex Jeffrey’s (all be it along with others) I was willing the session to start as I watched the GoToWebinar screen in front of me…

Truth was; I hadn’t been this excited about moving my business forward in a long time!

I did have my doubts though….was this just another hyped out, seen it or read it all before stuff that is forced down our throats because we had the good sense (?) to subscribe to 101 newsletters….but based on what I had seen in Alex’s video(s) I was confident that this would go where I needed to be taken (besides I had just parted with $497 and I wanted my pound of flesh; Wales is not too far from Ireland you know Mr. Jeffreys!)

Impressions & Highlights:

Well, the man from Cardiff said he would and he did…DELIVER that is, and at 2hrs+ he arguable overdelivered!

(Confession: at around 2 am I had to go to bed, I had work in the morning and he had only go to “D” on the list and I am “H”, so….)

Apart from a few tech problems (Alex was working with some ‘toys’ for the first time) it was a very useful and informative session, the kind you are SO glad he recorded and will make available again!

I will be reviewing the information in the members area later (I work Full Time at the moment and will not be accessing my PC until later) and share what I think are the real nuggets of the Module #1, the things that I will be using to make money online…and if you decide to follow this blog, you can use them too to build your online business!

Suffice to say thus far the message is: This is NOT a Get Rich Quick scheme, it is a Get Rich Forever program!

Alex helped us to understand where he had been from a business perspective and what lesssons he learned that took him from very little money to the position he is in today.

I like Alex, in as much he is not from the stock of Cambridge University, stiff upper lip and all that (apologies to Alex if I am wrong about the Uni part).  What I mean by that is he has not used Daddy’s money to make it….and it’s fair to say that he does not have a BBC Wales accent….he is what he is and uses that brilliantly to achieve his goals, lessons that are as invaluable as those discussed in the Module!

Anyhow….watch this space and I will fill you in on what I learned from last night in more detail…..we got homework too you know, so I better get on with it.

Now, where did I put that apple for teacher……..?
