"Take control of your destiny or someone else will"
Here are excerpts from a fantastic article I read in Success Magazine .
Please leave me your comments and thoughts about whether you agree or not.
The Great Migration
Across the country and around the world, legions of people are abandoning their dependence on big business and seeking independence through their own enterprises. Every month, about 1 million Americans go through some type of job change or loss, and increasingly they are deciding to start their own businesses.
Security, which may come as a surprise, is a big reason behind the move. Only a generation or two ago, going into business for yourself was considered risky, and the safest route was to get a good job in a large firm. Back in the 1960s and ’70s, companies like IBM made “employment for life” the gold standard of job security.
A Better Lifestyle
One of the biggest reasons for the self-owned business boom is that people love the benefits of working for themselves and enjoy the freedom they gain from designing their own prosperity . No more commute and no more boss. You get to choose when you work, how you work and with whom you work. Best of all, you don’t have to make the agonizing choice between time for family and time for business.
Greater Financial Opportunity
The masses making this migration also have a clear eye on the bottom line: There is far greater opportunity to make money by building your own business than by working for someone else’s. There was an implicit trade-off in the old 40-year plan: Working for a firm typically meant there was a fixed ceiling to the wages one might earn, but the benefits and job security were worth it. Now that the benefits and job security (half of the equation) are evaporating, millions are asking, why settle for that arbitrary income ceiling?
A Life of Greater Impact
The nation’s 78 million baby boomers are just starting to reach retirement age, yet they’re realizing that they can’t afford to retire. What’s more, they don’t want to.
Taking the Plunge
“Leaving the rat race is not as daunting as it may seem ,” says author Dan Clements in his guide to worklife balance, Escape 101. “You’ll look back in later years and marvel at how easy it was and how much you gained for so little cost.”

"Take control of your destiny or someone else will"
Last week was so busy I forgot to mention I would be in Las Vegas for a Wealth Masters Int’l conference. It’s a 4 day event filled to the brim with education on Health, Wealth, and Wisdom . The WMI Co-Founders, Kip Herriage and Karl Bessey will be kicking off the event with a line up of global economists, banking and stock experts, health & fitness experts, as well as some legendary motivational speakers. There will be a number of surprise speakers as well.
Also in the group will be Carbon Copy Pro Co-Founders, Jay Kubassek and Aaron Parkinson . Mike Dillard of Magnetic Sponsoring will be in attendance, and top industry earners Andrew Cass, Michael Force , amongst numerous others. There will be opportunities for networking and getting to know my colleagues better, which is always great.
How could you not have some fun too while in Vegas?! There must be half a dozen shows to choose from at each hotel! The great part is since I’m here on business (and it’s MY business - not someone else’s), I can write off much of the trip.
Please leave a comment and let me know if you are able to combine the two and take advantage of tax benefits…

"Take control of your destiny or someone else will"
If you have previewed any of the videos I have completed and posted on YouTube , you know one of them addresses my difficulties with technology and the intuitiveness of it (or lack of)! I found this great little device that makes it easy though….. even for me! It’s called a Flip Ultra Camera - here are some of it’s benefits:
It’s lightweight and fits into your pocket
It uses a couple of batteries so never needs charging (60 minute play time)
The speaker and photo quality is decent (not professional quality, but good)
Built into the camera is a program which converts videos into the correct format for uploading to YouTube (my favorite feature!)
It connects directly to your computer with the "Flip" of a switch (I would recommend the accessory cable though - it will make it easier)
PS - To make it easy for you to order…. you can use the info below or there is an Amazon icon / box to your left if you’d like something else. You can enter the product name and order it from there!
Please leave a comment about what you use for creating videos - love to hear from you
Until next time, J.
