What is Leadership These Days?

April 2nd, 2009 -- Posted in Carbon Copy Pro, Home Business Ideas, Marketing Tips, Retirement, Wealth Strategies, personal development | No Comments »

Carbon Copy Pro, CCPro, Carbon CopyPro, it’s written all kinds of ways, and regardless of how ~ it’s all the same ~ it’s about Leadership .  A fast growing educational company which targets Internet marketing with integrity, honesty, plus a lot of fun!

I recently attended the Wealth Masters Int’l (WMI) M2 conference and the CCPro event piggy backed onto it, adding one more day.  This was a brilliant idea as it allowed attendees to save on multiple trips, travel costs, etc. The material presented was phenomenal (again).  The next generation of Web 2.0 marketing was reviewed by speakers such as:

Natalie Stahl unveiled the new training programs in the back office that now take into consideration those who are building their business part time. (Of course they apply to those who are full time as well!)  There are multiple outsourcing options to leverage your time, and incredibly strong step by step trainings for the beginning marketer, intermediate, and beyond levels.

The co-founders Aaron Parkinson and Jay Kubassek were visibly humbled when talking about the explosive growth of the company this past year.  They really spoke from the heart and I saw a new level of maturity as they’ve grown (not just the company) through the process. They are positioning Carbon CopyPro as an incubator for tomorrow’s leaders and entrepreneurs .  The team is motivated, creative, talented, and I can’t think of another group I’d rather be aligned with!

Who are some of the “leaders” you admire, and why…. :-)

Until next time,  J.

Wealth Masters International Conference

March 30th, 2009 -- Posted in HowTo Business Questions, Misc Ranting, Retirement, Wealth Strategies, personal development | 1 Comment »

Having just returned from a multiple day conference with Wealth Masters Int’l, and CCPro , my head is still swimming.  These conferences provide so much valuable information it takes a while to sort it out.  The WMI speakers at this event were true experts in their fields.  To provide a quick run down, the objective of the first 3 days was to educate the audience on what is going on nationally as well as globally from a financial perspective.  Additionally, strategies were discussed how to be successful business owners in these tumultuous times.

We heard from:
·    Wayne Allen Root – Author of “Relentless”
·    G. Edward Griffin – Author of “The Creature From Jekyll Island”
·    Jeffry Combs – Success coach for Leadership
·    Ron White – Demonstrated specific steps to increase memory
·    Kip Herriage – Discussed the greatest wealth transfer in history
·    Mike Maloney – The gold and silver advisor to Robert Kiyosaki and author of “Guide to Investing in Gold & Silver”
·    Kristen Kuchem of Everbank – Provided a review of suggested strategies for diversification

There were numerous other speakers throughout the conference, I’ll mention in future posts. You may want to look up the few mentioned already, as their track records speak volumes about them.

Those of you ladies reading this, please don’t think this type of financial conference doesn’t apply to you.  It is meant for YOU more than anyone.  Having been divorced, widowed, and a single parent for 10 years I know what it’s like to be concerned about having my money stretch far enough and last long enough.  The insights and strategies I heard were invaluable.  My only regret is that I hadn’t heard of these opportunities years ago.  For more information please don’t hesitate to contact me by using the tab above…..

Until next time,  J.

Create Your OWN Stimulus Package!

February 23rd, 2009 -- Posted in Retirement, Vacations and Fun, Wealth Strategies, personal development | No Comments »

We’ve all been reading about the government stimulus packages, and what they will and won’t do.  Isn’t it time to create your own and not rely on others?  You know my favorite saying, “Take control of your destiny or someone else will”.  I should be adding – “and you may not like their plan for you!”

So how do you start creating your own plan?  My suggestion is to attend the upcoming Wealth Masters, Int’l. M2 Conference , in Lake Tahoe , Nevada from March 22 to March 25th.

Wealth Masters International continues to bring speakers in that are relevant to the times and provides an education that isn’t being offered anywhere else. The opportunities and knowledge gained from the past M2 conferences I’ve attended, have more than paid for my attendance.

By attending you will receive continue reading »

What’s Luv Got To Do With It - Your Finances I Mean

February 17th, 2009 -- Posted in Retirement, Wealth Strategies, personal development | 4 Comments »

I’m talking about your finances , especially you ladies.  While many people are successful of handling their finances (and decisions) jointly, many do not fit in that category.  Did you know that:

~ Women can now own property , which in some states prior to 1981 wasn’t possible without a man’s jointly owning it;
~ 85% of all buying decisions are up to a woman to make;
~ Women spent about 5 Trillion dollars in the U.S. last year;
~ Women take home 57% of all the college degrees , so they can potentially earn more;
~ Women now have access to credit , which wasn’t the case before 1973 and;
~ Over 80% of women will need to make financial decisions for themselves at some point in their adult lives.

So, why is it, that most women continue reading »

The Next Shoes to Drop

December 5th, 2008 -- Posted in Misc Ranting, Retirement, Wealth Strategies | No Comments »

I read a blog this morning titled "Out of Control " by Kip Herriage who I respect immensely.  In his article he points out some very unsettling economic news related to the stock market, employment, and the future in general.  While I am not including this to create any panic, but an additional source of awareness.  Read his "point of view" and you decide how to react.  Go to www.kipherriage.com

Let me know what you think and how you will be prepared.  :-)

Until next time, J.

Traditional IRA Accounts or Self-Directed IRA’s?

November 25th, 2008 -- Posted in Retirement, Wealth Strategies | 2 Comments »

Most people are aware of traditional IRA’s, ROTH IRA’s, 401K’s, etc. Have you ever thought of a self-directed IRA though? For those of you who may not be familiar with this type of IRA, it’s an alternative. An alternative to the stock market, bonds, and mutual funds, but with the same "rules" for withdrawals and taxation. For years people have been using this vehicle to "invest out of the box ", but it’s now becoming even more popular since the average IRA has decreased in value by about 40%.

There are many private equity investment opportunities, ranging from alternative energy sources, independent films, and even real estate…. (yes, even now!) One company located in continue reading »
