Steve,
Welcome to the Sunday, June 7 edition of The Mastermind!
There's a lot to talk about today, including Network+ and CCNP training opportunities - and two free sets of CCNA and CCENT training questions!
Let's get started with today's edition!

Thought For The Day:
Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.
- Theodore Roosevelt

Get Network+ Certified With This Exclusive One-Two Punch!
After I hinted at this opportunity last week, my inbox was filled with N+ candidates and students wondering what this offer would be - and more importantly, how they could get in on it!
Considering the Network+ certification is the bedrock and the foundation of all your studies, it's great to see so many of you are going after this vital certification.
So to help you get there, I'm making an offer that I have never made before - and may well never make again - and my newsletter readers have the first chance to seize this opportunity.
My Network+ Video Boot Camp has helped N+ candidates around the world earn this important certification, and no wonder - it's so good, it's actually been approved by CompTIA!
That's right, this CBT has been certified with the CompTIA Authorized Quality Curriculum seal - that's as good as it gets!
And just as important, my students say it's a great video, too!
"Chris, I passed the CompTIA Network+ certification exam this morning.I don't think I would have passed it without your help. Thank you for a great video!-- Gene Frazier, Network+ Certified!
"Hi There Chris: I just wanted to THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH for the great Network+ CD that I purchased from you. Thanks to you I passed the exam today and I just couldn't wait to get home and e-mail you. I have failed it a few times in the past especially by reading books only and it never worked.
I think you do an excellent job on the training and you explain things so well. Thanks again and keep up the great training because the next exam I choose to take will definitely come from a Train Signal CD taught by you!" -- Charlene Fyda, Network+ Certified!
At the same time, my downloadable Network+ Study Package has helped Network+ candidates earn their certification as well, like Bennie Hall!
"Hi Chris, wanted to let you know that I sat for the Network+ exam yesterday and passed it. Thanks for the great Study Package, it really made the difference!" -- Bennie Hall, Network+ Certified!
The Network+ Study Package contains over 200 illustrations of every basic network concept and protocol ( and some not-so-basic concepts as well!), plus a practice exam and full online forum support for your studies - it doesn't get any better than that!
Until now.
For a very limited time - and my newsletter readers have first shot at this opportunity - I'll let you download my Network+ Study Package at absolutely no additional cost when you purchase my CompTIA-certified Network+ Video Boot Camp.
Not only do you save $67 over the regular price of buying both of these exclusive Network+ study tools, you also get the ultimate combination of my Network+ Study Guide, practice exams, online forum support for your Network+ studies, a review document, AND over 12 hours of Network+ video training from yours truly - training so good that CompTIA certified it!
This is the best opportunity you'll ever have to become Network+ certified.
I've done everything I can to get you there - now it's your turn to take action.
