My Role Model!!

My Dad, My Role Model!!

Websters Definition: Role Model A role model is a person whose behavior, example, or success is or can be emulated by others, especially by younger people

Can you imagine traveling 3,000 miles across an ocean in the bottom of a cattle ship to a strange land you have never been to, HOPING for to improve your life?? What did he leave? A 2 room rented "cottage" that had a dirt floor, no plumbing, no cars, nor phones and 7 people living in it.

Farenfore, Co. Kerry, Ireland

That was the situation in 1949 when my father and other Irish, Italian, French, Polish and many, many other immigrants from lands devastated by World War II, who came to America to take advantage of this great land and what it had to offer those who were willing to work and become citizens.  
I tend to complain on occasion, as I'm sure we all do, but STOP when I think of what my father endured to improve on his life, and when he had a family, create an environment where we did not have to live in a 2 room "cottage' with dirt floors and no plumbing, etc., you get the picture.
So it was with great pleasure and thankfulness that when I discovered an opportunity that would put me in a situation that I could improve on my fathers hopes and dreams that it all made sense to me. Even though my journey was not across an unknown ocean in the bottle of a cattle boat, it was more of a mental journey that awoke me to the opportunities that are still available and to a degree more opportunities.
The Great American Dream is not dead it's alive and well and for this writer/blogger I discovered it with Market America/SHOP.COM!! 

Thanks Dad

Big Break

Stop looking, wishing and hoping for some other person or outside event to give you a break. Go ahead and give yourself a big break.

  YES I CAN!!

The perfect opportunity is not the one that exists only in your fantasies. The perfect opportunity is the one you have right now.

You have the opportunity, on this day, in this place, to do good and valuable things that will move your life forward. You can have the big break you desire by working to make it happen.

If you wait for conditions to be perfect before taking action, all you’ll ever do is wait. Go ahead, with things just as they are, and do all you can.

Accept the fact that it is indeed difficult to move your life and your world forward. When you stop fighting against the difficulties, and simply work your way through, they are not nearly so difficult.

This is the time you have, and this is the time to act. Give yourself a great big positive break today, and feel the joy as your most treasured dreams begin to come to life.

Commitment & Passion - Be Inspired!!

Just ready to quit this morning in a basic online training to familiarize myself with Google Analytic and I read the following email from some one that constantly does things that inspire me to: 

                  Keep pushing forward

"When you feel like quitting, you’re actually closer than ever to getting the work done. Keep going, keep moving, keep working and finish the task.

When it seems that you've run out of ideas, you’re actually opening yourself to new, more workable, more powerful ideas. Keep going, move on past the discouragement, and let those new ideas flow.

Sure, you can think of plenty of reasons to stop short of the goal. Yet there are even better reasons to push yourself forward so the goal is reached.

If the work has been difficult and challenging, that’s certainly no reason to stop. In fact, that means you've got a whole lot invested in what you’re doing, so keep going and reap the rewards of that investment.

You already made the choice to get started, so choose right now to reaffirm your commitment. Keep up the good and valuable work, and get the results you desire.

This is a great day to make real progress, so make the most of it. Keep going, keep pushing forward, and keep creating real, meaningful value in your world."

Well needless to say, I didn't quit and I actually got it done. That inspiration?, my wife, who has a way of looking at things a bit differently than I but manages to juggle all the things she does and get's it done.

How close are you to "finishing the task"?

Time & Money

Creating the Economy of the Future

In this day and age of bankruptcies and bailouts, what is the current economy? Get and education, get a good job, work hard, and hopefully be able to retire at some point in the future and live the good life. Somewhere along the way, achieve your hopes and dreams and establish yourself and your family possibly? However, how real is this? For most people they fail miserably at these goals and fail at achieving these things for themselves.

What is the Economy of the Future?

First, it would be one structured around the idea that these goals would be realistically achievable for the average person. It would be an economy based around helping the average individual earn the income they need to accomplish the things that they want for their life. Rather than individuals working for someone else and hoping that this other entity takes care of them, in the economy of the future, individuals work for themselves, they own their own destiny and they are the masters of crafting their own lifestyle. Rather than having their income capped by someone else's determination of their worth, or someone else's artificial evaluation of what their “time” is worth, instead, in the economy of the future, an individual's income is unlimited and is only “capped” by their own desire, their own willingness to do what it takes to make the income they want to achieve for the goals they've set out for themselves.

A proven plan for your financial success, is the answer!!

The Economy is Changing!!

Is Social Media a fad OR the biggest shift since the Industrial Revolution??  It's not a FAD it's a shift in the way we communicate. We all use Social media in one form or another, and you know, it's just a matter of time before a great new Social Media Platform emerges and is monetized for the online consumer of digital content. So where do you stand on Social media, or just afraid you just don't understand it. Which if you don't ASK questions, you will never know. And as Napoleon Hill said, in his forever best seller, "Think & Grow Rich"  "Intelligent person will at least ask some questions".
If you don't, you will miss out on the ability to add income to your life and change the way you live. it's not just for the Gen Y, 96% have joined some type of Social media Platform, but for all!!
The choice is yours and I for one, have made that change and now enjoy the fruits of my labor. If Facebook can add 100 million users in 9 months, I can apply just 5 easy steps, find 10-12 customers and 2 Business partners, that was my thoughts and working with a proven Business Plan, made it happen. I now have a "Shopping Annuity" to help people Get paid To Shop and using Social media, such as my Google + Blogger, has helped me build a wonderful business and given me the ability help people. And that's what it's really about, helping people.
