<p>Have you ever been accused of being obsessed with work, <a class="zem_slink" title="Business" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business">business</a> or money?</p>
<p>Do you recall where and whom that first occurred with?</p>
<h2>I&#8217;m Bob Yeager and I&#8217;m Obsessed with Internet Business</h2>
<p>It&#8217;s OK, I&#8217;ll be find. You know, I think there are <a class="zem_slink" title="Support group" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Support_group">support groups</a> for this type of thing, but I&#8217;d be afraid they&#8217;d try to compel me to quit doing what I&#8217;m doing. Here&#8217;s the thing. There&#8217;s nothing wrong with being obsessed when your obsession in one of the healthy sort.</p>
<p>Let me explain.</p>
<p>A few years back, I told my wife (while we were broke and living on Welfare) that I&#8217;d get us to millionaire status within the next 5 years. Here it is just two years later and I&#8217;m getting ready to sign the deal that will put me well over the top&#8230; and I get to do that with a couple of my good friends.</p>
<p>Years ago, doctors told me I had seven months to live and they continued to tell me that for another eight years. Here I am today, going on thirteen years later and my <a class="zem_slink" title="Cancer" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer">cancer</a> is gone and I&#8217;m as healthy as a soon to be 32 year old man could be.</p>
<p>Before that, I was told the music industry doesn&#8217;t pay. I was one of the top earning musicians in the eastern US. Just before that, everyone told me I was too small and weak to be a top martial arts <a class="zem_slink" title="Competition" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Competition">competitor</a>. I&#8217;ve been competing since I was 8 and have never lost a match (I have been beaten a few times though:)</p>
<p>So, was I obsessed to achieve these types of results? Yep, damn straight. I had a healthy obsession to rise up and be strong, to put my best foot forward and to move past defeat and failure. I was obsessed with living and staying alive and I continue to carry that obsession throughout my life.</p>
<p>My <a class="zem_slink" title="Family" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family">family</a> is more important to me than life itself, so since I&#8217;m obsessed with living, I must be even more obsessed with my family&#8217;s safety and happiness. The internet allows me to conduct business at the level I know I need to achieve ultimate financial success and contribute on a global scale, and since financial independence is a factor in my families happiness&#8230; I guess I have to have a bit of obsession when it comes to my business as well.</p>
<p>So, why am I telling you this? Because I have a healthy obsession with sharing insights that I&#8217;ve experienced, in order to help you. So&#8230; what are YOU going to decide to be obsessed with tomorrow?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><a href="http://www.strategicprofits.com/blog/billy-mays-marketing-magic/"><span class="zem_slink">Billy Mays</span></a>: An Icon in Direct Television Marketing Dies at 50</h2>
<p>Today, at the age of 50, the As Seen on TV and Pitchman Superstar spokes person, <a href="http://www.strategicprofits.com/blog/billy-mays-marketing-magic/">Billy Mays</a> was found dead in his home. This is the man that was responsible for me buying buckets of Oxi Clean and a ton of steak knives.</p>
<p>More importantly, although many may not realize, Billy Mays is responsible for much of the video marketing that goes on today, where internet marketers consistently do product presentations on all of your favorite video sharing networks.</p>
<p>Yesterday, a US Airways Flight had landed in quite a traumatic way, when the front landing gear tire basically went flat. Many of the passengers were tossled about and alot of stuff dropped on their heads. Mays complained late yesterday evening, to his wife, that he wasn&#8217;t feeling well. He was one of the passengers that had endured head injuries on that flight.</p>
<p>This morning, at 7:45 EST Mays was found dead in his home.</p>
<p>A few weeks ago, a martial arts icon of mine, <a class="zem_slink" title="David Carradine" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Carradine">David Carradine</a> was found dead in his apartment. Thursday, my childhood crush <a class="zem_slink" title="Farrah Fawcett" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farrah_Fawcett">Farrah Fawcett</a> lost her long battle with cancer. On that same day, at the age of 50, the man who inspired me to break into the music industry at a young age, <a class="zem_slink" title="Michael Jackson" rel="homepage" href="http://www.michaeljackson.com">Michael Jackson</a> suffered an untimely death. Now, today&#8230; I morn the loss of a man who inspired me to focus on using video for marketing online&#8230; in order to add entertainment to the dry world of marketing and selling.</p>
<p>This has been a roller coaster month of emotion for many industries and for the loss of so many unique icons in my life.</p>
