Happy Thanksgiving 2014

By | November 27, 2014

Happy Thanksgiving! I know 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 would not exist.

Here’s a free gift as a token of my appreciation. It’s a 111 page ebook that I recently had ghostwritten on the topic of freelancing. I know the contents are great, because it was written by one of my freelance ghostwriters who has been working for me for many years. In other words, she was writing on her topic of expertise. It is brand new and has never been released before.

You get to download it for free today WITH Master Resale Rights. This would be a helpful book for anyone who is interested in making money as a freelancer (especially as a freelance writer). You can also sell the ebook or add it as a bonus to any product.

Next, here is the 7th annual Eric’s Tips Thanksgiving contest!

Wow, this is the 7th year we’ve done this!

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

Something I’m thankful for…

I recently had the privilege of visiting India again. I’m thankful that my children got to experience another culture. I’m thankful for all the ways I am blessed, including the opportunity to help others. I’m amazed by all of the beautiful things I was able to see, but most of all by the people. I would like to share some pictures I snapped of these beautiful people in cities, villages, and slums…

Have a great day and a happy Thanksgiving!

    I’m thankful for God taking care of me and my family this year. Although I was laid off in March, God has supplied all the needs of my household. He has proven his faithfulness to me this year. Happy Thanksgiving!

    I’m grateful for all those men and women who have chosen to serve this country (and all of us) in the military. They suspend all the ‘togetherness’ with family and friends that we enjoy. They preserve the freedoms we enjoy in this country including the right to protest social in-equalities. They give of themselves so that the rest of us can live free and be as successful as we are willing to be. Thank You

    Thank you, Eric, for posting this. Blessings to you and your family! So much to be thankful for… even at times of adversity or in our darkest moments, blessings oftentimes are hidden — but if we search deeply enough they will reveal themselves. Even at our darkest times, we could simply say, “Thank you, Lord, for this breath” because we have the opportunity in that moment to turn things around and find the good in it. Let us rejoice in the little things — the simple things — of life. The material wealth we might accumulate is its own blessing, but at the end of the day the most beautiful treasure is but dust… Let us look to greater rewards and accept the greatest blessing there is – the love and grace of our Lord!

    I am thankful for all the freedoms we take for granted in this country (USA) and for being born in a country that still provides unparalleled and unlimited opportunities for those willing to work for it.

    I am also thankful that we are allowed to do anything (legally) we want, pursue the things and goals we have set for ourselves, live anywhere, learn anything, love anyone and become anyone and anything we choose to.

    Hey Eric… Its great to see another person who loves the travel and the perspective that travel brings. It really helps to bring into focus what we have and to be thankful for it. And also brings the challenge… Like seeing someone free to travel and saying “I’m going to be able to do that too!”

    Hi Eric, you’re right, there is an incredible amount of things to be thankful for. One of them is I’m thankful for being able to read and learn about online marketing through your website and products. I’m thankful to God for the opportunity to be able to some day put into practice what I’ve learned so I can realize financial freedom.

    Well I’m really in a more pissed off mood at the moment. However I am even thankful for that, because I consider it a great potency to do something, to strive, to achieve and to be who I truly be. I am thankful for the Great blessing of existing, for being. I am thankful for God’s love for this planet and many other planets. I am thankful for this incredible matter we call our bodies that allows me to be here. I am thankful for my family and for all of their support. I am thankful for higher unerstanging and knowing. Thank you wonderful people in IM for consistently helping us achieve! I am thankful for peace, for space, for the amazing nature, for the air, the birds, the beautiful blue sky, especially with a few white fluffy clouds, for the sea, for many deifferent kinds of land, for dancing and the music, for martial arts, for kites in the sky, for sandy beaches, for comic books… Thank you God! Thank you for the money too, for all the wonderful food, I am thankful to you.

    Ease, joy & glory!
