As more people are feeling the crunch in the economy, due to an increase cost in groceries and living expenses, (in addition to job losses), more people are either cashing in their retirement funds or borrowing against them despite penalties. There is concern that future retirees will be less prepared than now, because of drawing down savings for the short term. However, it might still be the best personal choice at the time for some. Read the linked article from www.msn.com to see some of the problems and choices being made.
I’m excited about this upcoming weekend as I will be attending the Carbon Copy Pro Marketing event, in Dallas. I will have the opportunity to be exposed to some cutting edge ideas to grow my home based business, as well as network with old and new colleagues. These events are always a breath of fresh air for me, and I come back invigorated and ready to "hit it" again.
I’ll provide a recap next week for you….. there will be some incredible presenters - so stay tuned.
What do you do to keep fresh ideas and new techniques coming to you
Until next time, J.
"Take control of your destiny or someone else will"
"Make a Million While You’re still Young Enough to Enjoy It" by Peter Bielagus
I had the pleasure of listening to this young entrepreneur and writer speak at the last M2 Wealth Masters Int’l. Conference. He was energetic, humorous, wise for his years, and has a message for young adults (primarily college age) ….. HE speaks their "lingo". I purchased his book and after reading it this past weekend, I will be purchasing numerous others to give to the young adults in our lives for holiday gifts.
Like his speaking style, Peter discusses a variety of financial topics and breaks them down in simple language. Here are some general categories that he explains with examples that kids "will get": continue reading »
I’ve said it before….. I am so blessed to have the opportunity to make a living while I travel! The only thing better is spending time with family, which I did this past weekend.
My parents, and my two brothers and their wife’s and I traveled to an area called Graeagle, California, for a reunion with friends and families we grew up with. There were about 80-90 people there in total over the 3 days. Many of these folks my brothers and I haven’t seen in 30 years. A dear family friend hosted the event at their new "little log cabin". The picture below doesn’t do it justice as that’s only half of the house in the picture! We all rented places nearby and came there for the social gatherings. We had a blast seeing everyone!
We did sneak away on Saturday afternoon for a quiet picnic away from the group. We were at lower Sardine Lake at the base of the Butte mountain range….. breathtaking.
Here we are again, a little more cleaned up on Saturday evening … while my website was still driving traffic and working for me! Life is good!

If you haven’t formed an advisory team for your business you may want to consider it. Here are some of the discussion items our group will review at this session (myself and 3 other business owners from different industries):
Marketing Strategies (online and offline)
Marketing Tools
Target Audience
Budgets
We meet twice per year for 3-4 days. While the primary reasons for our getting together are business discussions - we also make room for fun! This time the meeting will be held in the SF Bay area, so we will spend one day in San Francisco at the Ferry Building, The Cannery, Fisherman’s Wharf, etc. Getting out and observing how other businesses market can give you a fresh perspective on potential additions to your own marketing plans.
Please leave a comment and tell us about your Advisory Team…

"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"
This weekend was an exception…. the business interruption I experienced was perfect! Two of our four kids were home, as well as our two grandkids. Mikaila and her boyfriend came up from San Luis Obispo, and Jesse, Avery & Gannon came out from Texas. We spent time catching up, watching the birds (Barn Swallows) who are nesting on our front porch, decorating plates, hairstyling mohawks, and eating someores around a campfire. Not enough words to describe the welcomed break….. but here’s a few photos!

"Take control of your destiny or someone else will"
I’ve taken on a Personal Development project to create a short series of videos on frustrations and challenges, addressing why career changes are sought out and some challenges when they are made. A final video will recap the benefits of creating the first 10. These can be found on YouTube as well if you’d like to subscribe.
Here’s the fourth ……
Please comment about how you incorporate ways to regenerate and recharge your "batteries" and is it enough?

"Take control of your destiny or someone else will"
Have you ever wondered if making money, building a business, and having the freedom to travel when and where you want is really possible? Does it sound too good to be true?
It wasn’t that long ago that I, too, figured most of what was out there on the net was… well let’s just say "less than honest."
It really was hard to weed the hype from the real thing. Note the use of the word "was." The truly marvelous thing is that - with more than luck on my side - I did find "the real, real thing" and I’ve been living the home business life ever since!
Yes, I can and do state with complete honesty that there are "real people" out there living the (successful!) home business lifestyle! I know, because I am one of them (feel free to contact me ).
So why is it that some people "have all the luck" while the vast majority suffer along? The difference is successful people have a plan and a solid system!

FACT: CarbonCopyPro was busy working for me on my recent 10 day trip. Here are some more photos , (here, too, if you want to see a close up of our group ), wish you’d been there!
Monument Valley - Huge plateaus come up from nowhere
Bryce Canyon - Some of the "HooDoo’s" they’re famous for
Definitely some luggage on those bikes don’t you think?
I do understand if at this point you’re wondering, "Is she for real?" I’ve been there myself - I think we all have.
The difference is in the people you work with!
I am very happy to help anyone (you?!) who is past the "tire kicking" stage, and ready for a real work from home business.
Leave me a comment (or use my contact information on this blog) and let me know if this is something you could get used to in your life….
Until next time, J.
