Double Your Income... Double Your Time Off

When you are on the road to make money there are really only a couple of ways that make a lot of sense on the Internet.
The first way is to be a very smart person and design something that others want. Bill, Steve, and the folks from Google seem to fit this mould. They sure do impress me with their insight and their genius. I wish some days I was as smart as them. The other way is to leverage the brains of the smart guys.
When you’re leveraging someone else’s brainpower all the really hard stuff is done. The idea works, it is accepted by the public and all you need to do is learn how to tap into the pipeline. This seems a little bit easier to someone like me but I admit I’m not a genius. What I’ve done to make money most of my life is find an idea that someone else has developed, applied it to what I was doing and then worked the hell out of it.
If this sounds like a good idea to you then I’d suggest you just open your eyes to what is happening in the major market places of the world. I don’t want to be the guy to suggest that the Baby Boom might have an effect on the market and that these folks are in the process of retiring. Now, what do retired people like to do? They sleep, garden, sit on the veranda or perhaps they might travel a bit. I think if the price was right for them they might choose to travel occasionally.
If you want to take advantage of this anomaly in the market place then getting into the travel business in some way might be a good idea for you. There is cash to be slipped into your jeans and there are smart people who have already figured out a great way to tap into the market.
If you check around you’ll notice that vacation property is one of the major search items on Google. There are also others avenues for these retiring Baby Boomers to take when they fly off to holiday destinations. I want to suggest a couple for you. Of course they are mine. The first is www.298Vacation.com . This is a website that allows you to compare prices between our company and the other majors out there. It also has a video that explains our marketing plan and another video that explains the product in depth. What is the product? Almost forgot. It is unlimited access to 4 Star and 5 Star resorts in 55 countries worldwide, over 5000 resorts in total. Guess what the price for these vacations start at! $298.00 per week (8 days, 7 nights). Think the folks that are in the retirement mode will like something like this? The membership into this program can be recouped in just two or three vacations and then you get to save forever. The membership is part of your estate so you can give it to the kids. Ya, I know. Hard to believe.

Anyway, check it out for yourself. Everything within the system is easy to replicate so you don’t have to reinvest any wheels. It is a turn-key travel business for a minimal investment. The best part is that it is an online home based business that you can run from anywhere.

Dream or Vision?

I friend asked me a while back what my "Dream" was. My answer...I didn't have a dream. I had a "Vision". Sounds like I'm playing with words doesn't it.

Here is what I meant by that.

Originally, I did have a dream when I started my home based business. I wanted freedom and a great income. Pretty fuzzy picture really. Then I started to hone that into something that was real.

Our business can give you two things really, and perhaps much more quickly than a regular style business can do that. I think that is the magic of the internet. We aren't stuck by a geographical limitation and restricted by that growth. The two things are working from home and the freedom that entails. The second thing it gives is the ability to build a very lucrative business without much overhead. I've felt overhead before. Not fun watching most of your sales volume disappear into other's pockets and ending up with the smaller piece of the pie.

That is where Vision steps in. I know because I am over 21 years old (by a few days) that this life demands certain things from you if you want to achieve something. It is called putting in before getting out, the Law of Cause and Effect, or whatever you want to use as the phrase. In effect, it means that in order to get something you have to do something. If you are working it means showing up and doing the actions that will make your business or profession succeed. Unfortunately there are some out there who feel that if you want something then you put it out to the "Universe" and it will magically appear on your front doorstep. These are the people that are constanly checking their mailbox for the big one. Even the lottery corporations tell everyone that if you want to win the lottery then you have to buy a ticket!

What is your dream? Do you want it to be a Vision?

I know that if I want to get what I want then I need to find people who are willing to put forth their own effort AND be willing to have me help them to do the same thing. Our business is based on leveraging everyone's time and cooperatively achieving success as a team. This isn't a business for people who want to be a superstar at the expense of someone else. That dog eat dog mentality will almost ensure failure.

It really isn't a secret. Well, enough of my mental ramblings for now.

The Game My View of Golf and Business

It is a great game! Anyone that plays it regularly will attest to that। To others it is "a good walk spoiled" as they say.



My game has vastly improved this year। I hate to brag but I usually know approximately where the ball is going to go. That is surprising based on my past history. Now, there are actually a few small reasons for this. The first is that I went out and bought some good golf clubs. I was playing with clubs that were over 30 years old BUT they were really really good clubs when I bought them. The second thing I did was get some instruction from a friend that is better than me. He was very helpful, very patient and gave me positive strokes when I did things right.



This all started to happen after I'd played my first game with him and another friend! I think they were actually embarrassed for me and decided to take me "under their wings" so to speak. The effect is dramatic! I actually enjoy going out, I am putting for birdies on occasion and I feel that I could likely play on most courses in the world and not really embarrass myself.



In addition I also feel better when I am standing over the ball. I know that it is actually going to go where I shoot it over 75% of the time. Yes, the banana slice can rear it's ugly head on occasion but when I am focusing on the actual shot it seems to not only fly well but I good that it went where I was planning. Like everything though, there are no absolute guarantees. I wish there was and then watch out Tiger! But the reality is that I'm a 53 year old duffer and I will get better but I'm never going to make millions just by showing up on the course.

So what has that got to do with business? Well, you know that if you can get to a point where you feel confident and self assured then you will be a lot better when you are talking to others about your opportunity. The fact is that everyone needs help, even Tiger. You want to be sure that what you are doing is going to get you where you want to go! We all want to end up in the Winner's Circle and not be the last person on the tournament list. I know that most people who have talent can get there but it is really hard to play if you are missing the wedges or the putter. You know the old saying, "Drive for Show, Putt for Dough". Just like golf, you need the tools to have a good short game.

Cut the Grass Get a Friend

Well, I just cut the lawn. When I was a kid this is how I made my spending money around the neighbourhood. It gave me a lot of time to think then and it still gives me a lot of time to think .
I had a couple of good thoughts while I was shaving God's greenery. The first one was that in the internet arena there is a time to just get married and make the most of your decision. Like the rest of the world there is always going to be a faster gun, a bigger and better car, a more reliable computer or even a better woman!
The fact is that we can dance our life away testing this one and that one and maybe the next one coming around the corner. Sooner or later we realize that it is a never ending parade of beautiful women (or great internet businesses). I think it is this point that I have finally arrived at in my life. You can sit around and watch me cut the lawn.
