Why Should I read Elated News?

We all know that if you eat McDonald’s all day you will end up looking and feeling pretty gross. For some reason the fact that this same concept applies to our minds hasn’t caught on yet. What you feed your mind on a daily basis is partially responsibly for the life you’re currently living.

In his book, The 4 Hour Work Week (required reading for all Leading In Motion Inc business coaching clients) Timothy Ferriss challenges readers to take a 1 week media fast consuming no news or media except for fictional reading and 1 hour of fictional TV per night if desired.

“I took Tim up on his challenge and have never looked back. 18 months later I have no TV, no Newspapers and only listen to Satellite Radio. I still enjoy movies and great TV shows via the Theatre and DVDs but am now in complete control of what enters my mind. There is an amazing sense of freedom when you take back control of the most precious resources you have: Your time and your mind.”

-Dan Johnston, Founder of Elated News

What you choose to feed your mind is entirely up to you, but always consider the result of each meal. We’ve been trained to follow the lives of celebrities and spend the first (and most important) hour of our day reading up on yesterday’s disasters. Ask yourself, how does this habit serve me?

Is Elated News affiliated with any group?

Is awesome a group? If so we are.

Other groups? Well, we’re not political, religious or spiritual. We do however encourage everyone, including our writers, to be true to their own identity and come from the heart. You’ll also occasionally see “Great things happening in the city/province/country” printed in Elated News – we don’t care who is in office, we just want to share some of the great things going on.

Why should I advertise with Elated News instead of another publication or medium?

We offer a unique advertising environment built on trust and long term relationships with our readers. If we feel your business will provide great value to our readers you may be allowed to advertise in Elated News. For more on the benefits of advertising with us visit our advertising section here.

Isn’t print media dying?

Larger publications are running into difficulties because they’re high overhead and poor business models have put their backs up against the wall. Companies are now reconsidering the huge costs of most forms of advertising as the results are scattered at best.

Print media will never die. People enjoy the tactile experience of reading a paper. Does anyone ever believe people will start heading to coffee shops with nothing but their blackberry to read? If that’s the case, I encourage you to get into the optometry business….then call us to advertise your new store.
