How to Create Income Using the Internet - Seminar

Reilly Sweetland started Internet Simplicity.net in early 2003 out of his house as the sole employee. He is 95% self-taught in web-technologies (the remaining 5% in technology-related classes at Santa Clara University). Through word of mouth, Reilly grew Internet Simplicity from a small home based business to a team that now consists of approximately a half dozen individuals and services over 150 business with their web technology needs. Prior to Internet Simplicity, Reilly was involved in sales and marketing in both technical and non-technical fields. Having worked for and been on the front lines of companies introducing their products and services to potential customers, he has gained insight into what makes a company’s marketing processes successful, and what customer service really means.
Reilly delivered a fabulous seminar today at the Palo Alto Scientology Mission. He went over how to create income using the internet and enlightened the group on marketing basics, using social media, creating valuable content and maximizing search engine results. The insights that he gave us were priceless. Check back at the blog for further seminars by Reilly. You can go to his website for more information about him and what he does.

The concepts can help you achieve success in whatever you wish to apply it to."

Watch my postulates and if I need to change them, I can change them. I can get out of 'maybe' and inaction and just DO something. It really got me able to handle things on my own and made me more self-determined in handling my own case. I'm more at cause."

Solutions to Work Problems

Benny completed the Basic Book Course on The Problems of Work. He had this to say: "I had been introduced to the concepts taught in the Problems of Work book when I hired a consultant for my old optometry office. A lot of the information seemed very relevant and the application of the concepts really improved how my business has run.

Success Through Communication

Nancy completed the Life Improvement Course, Success Through Communication. She says, "This course has helped me to listen to all the information being given to me and to completely be there through the whole communication.

I'm ready to apply everything I've learned and share with others. People around me have already acknowledged a difference in me and I'm happy to say I notice it too. I'm ready for more!"

Command of Theta course

Donna completed the lecture course for the series Command of Theta. Here is her success:
"The more that I do the Basics in order, the clearer all this data becomes. It's like all this unconsciousness is coming off and I really understand this data. I understand what I'm doing when I create things in my own universe and why it is so important for me to go out and do stuff in the physical universe, the universe I share with others. I also totally got that the doingness cycles are meant to be the fun stuff about living and with what I know about Be, Do and Have, I need to work on the doingness and produce 'stuff' so I got something to exchange so I can do more really fun stuff. Thanks to everyone who helped me here at the Mission and to Ron for all this data in spite of the seemingly impossibility of getting it."

The Philadelphia Doctorate Course

Tom, the Senior Case Supervisor at the Mission, completed the Philadelphia Doctorate Course. Here's what he has to say: At the end of 1952 L.

You cannot do this course without realizing what your full potentials are. You can't do this course without changing forever."

I've learned to face my problems and my anger issues and have figured out where a lot of my frustrations came from. Life Repair has made me much more optimistic about life. I feel that I can get out there and achieve what I aim to achieve. I understand what mistakes I've made in the past and have learned how not to make them again.

Also by teaching you how to deal with other people, you improve your social skills." L.M. Photo Lab Supervisor

Fundamentals of Thought

"WOW! What an amazing course! I’ll never be the same. This stuff about valences! Wow! I might be a hundred people in one! And so far from being myself. This is what I’ve been searching for years for: answers, facts and how to go about improving self. And even finding my true self. Can’t wait to find out who I really am! As far as life as a game, amazing! It really is! What a messed up game and character I chose. It’s crazy! All odds were against me. I couldn’t win. Thank god I didn’t die in the process. As far as me, I’m doing great! I feel I have hope now! This Scientology is remarkable. If only everyone knew, and weren’t content with their life or stuck on someone else’s lie. Someone else’s lie that became their truth. If only people would search for their own answers and find out what’s true to them. I’m so proud of myself for not taking anyone’s word for it or spending my life depending on blind faith. My goal always has been to change for the better and to one day be an example and help others! Like you! It must be very rewarding. Thank you for your time, patience and friendship!"

Basic Books Courses

Students in the Palo Alto Mission Courseroom continue to have super successes while studying the Basic Books Courses! Here are two recent completions and their success stories:
Mary completed the Science of Survival Book and Lectures course, "How true that Dianetics and Scientology are NEW. No matter that the book was written over 50 years ago or that I read it first years ago. It's new, it's vital and Science of Survival alone would boost this planet greatly."

Tim completed the Dianetics Book and Lectures course, "It is much clearer to me how having the ability to differentiate and distinguish things puts us above others to work successfully in the real world. Just being able to stop and rationally think about how things (mind) really works is truly gratifying."

The Way to Happiness

Harrison finished the extension course for the Way to Happiness book, a book by L. Ron Hubbard on a common-sense and non-religious moral code. He says, "This was very fun to learn and I look forward to applying it in life."

Scientology Course Completion

Donna completed the Handbook for Preclears and Life Continuum Course. Here is what she had to say: "On this course I really, really got how important knowing all this data that I'm getting is because even when I don't know what hidden data is actually there that is influencing me in present time, I can see that it is and analytically use that to change things in present time. I understand about 'maybes' and how that affects a person in doing things and planning the future. I also can apply this to me and better keep my own postulates out there and better make the physical universe agree with me instead of the other way around. Thanks to Ron for the data and everyone at the mission who helped me."
