Happy Thanksgiving 2012

By | November 21, 2012

Happy Thanksgiving! I realize that only about half of Eric’s Tips readers are in the USA, but gratitude transcends all borders.

First, I want everyone reading this to know that I’m thankful for YOU. Without you, Eric’s Tips wouldn’t exist.

Here’s a small free gift as a token of my appreciation. It’s a 49-page ebook that I paid to have ghostwritten awhile back, but I never got around to launching it.

I literally paid $600 for it, and it’s been sitting on my hard drive ever since. It’s never been released until today.

So I’m going to let you download it for free WITH Master Resale Rights. I even left it white-label (didn’t put my name on it), so you can sell it or add it as a bonus to any product.

Next, here is the 5th annual Eric’s Tips Thanksgiving contest!

Wow, this is the 5th year we’ve done this!

It’s a good thing to express your gratitude for what you’re thankful for. In fact, it’s been shown to have health benefits.

So once again, we are going to do a group exercise to demonstrate our thankfulness.

All you have to do is post a comment below saying something you’re thankful for. It could be one word, or it could be much more… it’s up to you. If you need some inspiration, feel free to check out the comments from the past four years: 2011 | 2010 | 2009 | 2008

Here is something I’m thankful for…

frozen custard
(My wife, 5 kids, 2 cousins, mother-in-law, and 24 flavors of frozen custard. This was a fun day on one of our road trips, and was a special time because it was the last day we saw my wife’s grandfather before he died.)

Please post a comment below and let us know what you’re thankful for 🙂

Have a great day and a happy Thanksgiving!

    I’m finally retiring and after a suitable time off to sleep in and play a few games and watch a little TV, I’ll be working on supplementing my meager Social Security income with a brand new start up business owned and operated by me. I’m very thankful for Eric’s tips and starting over at 63. Happy Thanksgiving.

    Eric,

    I’m thankful there are people like you in this industry. I wish I had connected with you at least a year before I did: Your generosity to newcomers is very inspirational. I will continue to send people your way who want to learn more about internet marketing.

    I am thankful for my family and especially my wife who after 28 years of marriage still loves me. She said divorce was not an option but an accidental death as and when required could be arranged LOL.

    All joking aside stop look and appreciate what you have for in a moment it could all be gone.

    Hi Eric, et al,

    Great pic above with your family. My family is also one of the many things I’m grateful for. Sorry for the loss of your grandfather, I’m sure there are lots of memories still.
    I’m also thankful for selfless service, which which is in short supply everywhere. So thanks Eric for looking after us this year despite your personal challenges. Much appreciate all you’ve given back to the community and the world.

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    I’m thankful for good health and for being able to enjoy so many things, like for example going for a walk on the beach and to breathe the clean air there.

    I am thankful for my grandchildren. They remind me as I look into their wide innocent eyes that I should also “be like a little child”;trusting,believing in God’s promises.

    Hi Eric,

    it’s hard to express just by words everything I have on mind, therefore simply said I am very, very much thankful for my family, kids, fun we have together and getting connected with people of your kind and values who’s willing and takes the work to help us to get around in this area of business. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family and everyone here at Eric’s Tips!!!!! 🙂

    Eric,
    I am thankful for God’s help to overcome so many challenges and to be stepping into the destiny that He has for me! I am thankful for the divine appointments and the marketers He is bringing in my life.
    I am thankful that he healed my husband from a massive heart attack 3 years ago this week and he healed our marriage thru that as well! I am thankful that we are more in love now than ever, married 36 years!
    Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

    recently read the “Native American Code of Ethics” which are some wise words(Pasted below):
    ———————————-
    Rise with the sun to pray. Pray alone. Pray often.
    The Great Spirit will listen, if you only speak.
    ~
    Be tolerant of those who are lost on their path.
    Ignorance, conceit, anger, jealousy and greed stem
    from a lost soul. Pray that they will find guidance.
    ~
    Search for yourself, by yourself. Do not allow others
    to make your path for you. It is your road, and
    yours alone. Others may walk it with you,
    but no one can walk it for you.
    ~
    Treat the guests in your home with much consideration.
    Serve them the best food, give them the best
    bed and treat them with respect and honor.
    ~
    Do not take what is not yours whether from
    a person, a community, the wilderness or from a
    culture. It was not earned nor given. It is not yours.
    ~
    Respect all things that are placed upon
    this earth – whether it be people or plant.
    ~
    Honor other people’s thoughts, wishes and words.
    Never interrupt another or mock or rudely mimic them.
    Allow each person the right to personal expression.
    ~
    Never speak of others in a bad way. The negative
    energy that you put out into the universe
    will multiply when it returns to you.
    ~
    All persons make mistakes.
    And all mistakes can be forgiven.
    ~
    Bad thoughts cause illness of the mind,
    body and spirit. Practice optimism.
    ~
    Nature is not FOR us, it is a PART of us.
    They are part of your worldly family.
    ~
    Children are the seeds of our future. Plant
    love in their hearts and water them with
    wisdom and life’s lessons. When they
    are grown, give them space to grow.
    ~
    Avoid hurting the hearts of others.
    The poison of your pain will return to you.
    ~
    Be truthful at all times. Honesty is the
    test of one’s will within this universe.
    ~
    Keep yourself balanced. Your Mental self, Spiritual
    self, Emotional self, and Physical self – all need
    to be strong, pure and healthy. Work out
    the body to strengthen the mind. Grow
    rich in spirit to cure emotional ails.
    ~
    Make conscious decisions as to who
    you will be and how you will react. Be
    responsible for your own actions.
    ~
    Respect the privacy and personal space of
    others. Do not touch the personal property of
    others – especially sacred and religious
    objects. This is forbidden.
    ~
    Be true to yourself first. You cannot
    nurture and help others if you cannot
    nurture and help yourself first.
    ~
    Respect others religious beliefs.
    Do not force your belief on others.
    ~
    Share your good fortune with others.
    Participate in charity.

    This has been a wonderful year. Both of my grown children have made exceptional strides in their lives. My husband and I have decided to make a big move to a different state and spend more time traveling. We’re getting to serve others on this Thanksgiving day. Life is wonderful!

    Hi Eric,
    I’m thankful that I have my health for without it everything else becomes a major challenge.

    I’m thankful that because I FINALLY stopped chasing a million different “opportunities” and decided to focus on ONE of them, I am now making enough money to allow my wife to be home with me and we’re doing fine. All within a year.

    I’m thankful that I have lots of friends who I also helped to bless with financial freedom and hope and whom I know I can count on if things went south for us.

    I’m thankful that we get to eat LOTS of turkey tomorrow! 🙂

    Keep smiling,

    Ron

    I am thankful for every breath that keeps me alive, for the fruit and veggies that nourish my body, for the water that quenches my thirst and keeps me clean, for the clothing that keeps me warm in winter, and for the shelter that protects me from the elements. All these things are given by God, and so I give my thanks to Him every day.

    I am thankful for much, some personal, some public. Mostly, I am thankful for being alive (I had a stroke a few months back), and for having a strong, healthy mind, and for almost returning to normal with the help of many.

    Hi Eric – thank you for the free gift. If I look back over the last 18 months I have had a couple of set backs – been retrenched from my job and had a couple of health issues, but these set backs have also made me look at the more important things in life, like my family and the support and reassurance they give me and my friends who are also there when I need them. Like many of the “Eric’s Tips community, I am very thankful for the wonderful people around me and the love and support they prove me. Happy Thanksgiving from Sydney, Australia.
