Note: Bob has just reopened his Inner Circle for a few new members for just the next few days. Below are some of my thoughts about why you should consider becoming an Inner Circle member.

Testimonial:

Bob Jenkins, BobTheTeacher’s Inner Circle has helped me and continues to help me grow and expand my internet business to levels I have been dreaming of.

Before Bob and the Inner Circle I was struggling. Simply, I had been trying everything that was popping up on my computer. Most were valid; however, there always seemed to be something that was left out or something I was just not getting from these programs. Luckily, Bob and I found each other and I quickly realized that he knew what to do, how to do it, and when and where to do it.

After joining BobTheTeacher’s InnerCircle, my internet business has grown and continues to grow. I am making money now and I even have affiliates making money for me (how cool!). But, the greatest part of the Inner Circle besides Bob, are the Inner Circle members who make up the Inner Circle. If you need a friend, a partner, or just someone to bounce an idea off of, there is someone who is always willing to be there for you.

I cannot say enough about Bob Jenkins and the Inner Circle, except…if you want to grow your business (online or offline), this is where you will actually learn to do it and more importantly, will actually do it.

Bob Jenkins and the Inner Circle always..always overdelivers!

Check it out as my guest.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be adding posts that deal with helpful things that will allow you to expand your idea base into potentially profitable hobbies or businesses. I will be sharing some of the ideas and helpful things that I have learned and/or used to make significant advances in my businesses.

Some of the ideas will be old hat (you know, the ones you have heard about for eons), but just tossed aside….? [For example, the reference Bill Gates made about his friend, Warren Buffett. He says that Warren is refreshingly simple in his approach to things and that what he does he does exceptionally well and works to be very good at only a few manageable things, say 3 and that is it.]

Other ideas will be what I have learned and what I have learned from a few of my friends and mentors. I’ll also be sharing some of the tools that I use on a regular basis. I am a firm believer in the KISS principle…and I think you should be too (Warren Buffett above certainly embraces that principle.)

And other ideas will be based on current times and how people like to interface and do things and realize instant gratification.

The range of subjects will be diverse. Some times I’ll discuss the internet. Other times, I may discuss gardening, or how to cook a deliciously tender steak, or how my friend does remarkable things with gourds. At even other times, I may highlight how businesses with fleets of vehicles can cut their fuel costs and increase their profits. Or, how you can drive your car and cut your fuel costs to zero (that means you buy no gasoline).

There will be lots of ideas that I will be sharing. If you like what you see, please let me know. If you don’t like what you see, please let me know that too.

Till then….LET YOUR IDEAS GROW!

Sapphire Energy has done it!

Their staff of scientists have taken ultra basic ingredients and transformed them into gasoline. Yes, directly to gasoline that you can put into your gas tank.

Basic ingredients required:

(Sunlight) + CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) + (”Pond Scum”)

The combination is so basic that Sapphire Energy calls the mix “Green Crude”.

Sapphire Energy’s process works to create gasoline that:

does not add to the greenhouse effect or global warming (it is carbon neutral)

does not require destruction of the rain forests

does not use crop land needed for food production

does not require us to be dependent on foreign oil supply

and the list goes on and on….

Sapphire Energy’s new website tells the rest of the story.

Ideas to Reality To You!

HAVE YOU been suffering from any of the following? …or anything similar to them?

-You have so many ideas and thoughts that you don’t get anything really done

-You are almost always feeling frustrated and behind in your work

-You feel that you should be a “card-carrying member” of the Round To It club.

-You have started so many projects (which are just piling up in your mind) that you don’t know which one to start work on

-Your mind’s RAM is so congested that it cannot function; it just grinds to a halt

-You are always asking yourself, “Where has time gone? I haven’t accomplished even half of what I meant to.”

-Your internal strife just grows and grows because your good intentions are just …good intentions.

I know your saying, “Yes, I have those issues.” We all have and you’d be correct to know that most are still there. Most folks continue to suffer from too many ideas and projects with too little time to get them done… even the major ones that impact lifestyle and income.

This post is dedicated to You…because I have found something that has and is really helping me to focus my mind allowing me to finally become clear on what I need to do, and more importantly, what and how to quickly get done those activities that impact my life. What I have found was actually pointed out to me by my friend, Bob Jenkins, aka BobTheTeacher. It is a simple mind-mapping program called, Free Mind, that you can download on the internet at no charge. (That’s zero, nothing, nil, nada.) However, even though the program costs nothing, it is not user friendly (or at least there are not any good tutorials).

That has been corrected as my friend Bob realized that even though Free Mind is an outstanding program for focusing your mind and activities to get things done that most folks would have problems learning how to use the program and all its outstanding features. So Bob took it upon himself to develop a step-wise two-part video tutorial to show how simple the program really is to use and how to use it for most any activity or goal (business projects, household “to-do-lists”, homework, writing a book, you name it…).

So…, if you want to get results, clear the cobwebs from your mind, and free up your time, go get Free Mind and Bob’s video tutorial instruction. I personally call it Targeted Free Mind where you Turn Tangents Into Success.

To your Success, Free Mind, and Results!

Think about it. I certainly did when I read the following in the Birmingham News this morning:

“Taxes Expected To Rise with National Debt, Aging”

- If you’re grumbling. about the size of your tax bill this year, brace yourself. Many financial advisers predict that tax rates are going to rise to cover the escalating. burden of an aging population and the federal debt. By KATHERINE REYNOLDS LEWIS Newhouse News Service WASHINGTON

This was the headline and the article’s lead-in first paragraph. Obviously, it is an attention getter. Some additional eye-openers in Ms. Lewis’ article include:

“Each American’s share of the federal government’s unfunded obligations amounts to $175,000 - comparable to a home mortgage with no collateral, said Stuart Butler, a vice president at the Heritage Foundation.”

“To cover the gap between expected revenue and the cost of Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security benefits through 2Q50, income tax rates would have to almost double, according to a July 2007 analysis by the Congressional Budget Office.”

“Of course, the government probably would reduce promised benefits and increase payroll taxes rather than solely boosting the income tax. Still, it seems likely many Americans eventually will refer to the current income tax structure as “the good old days.” And who exactly : would pay higher taxes?”

Ms. Lewis later suggested a partial solution…

“Take a long-term approach and save aggressively.” She clarified that by referencing…

“People need to set aside as much as they, can,” said Tom Papanikolaou, chief operating officer of Pension Builders and Consultants in Cleveland.

Yes, taking a long-term approach and saving aggressively makes sense. The issue is that most of us don’t have extra funds to set aside to pay our normal daily expenses, much less, pay a burdening tax bill. Duhhh….

So, now what? To me, the answer is as simple as going to your nearest mirror and looking into it. There you see the answer…it is YOU. You are the answer to taking a long-term approach and saving aggressively. The mirror shows you the solution each and every day!

Of course, the mirror cannot hand over financial well-being, however, it does show you where to find the solution. The solution is between your ears! It is your skills, your experience(s), your hobbies, your knowledge, your ideas that you possess. All you need to do is to share those possessions with others and your financial concerns will end, ..and a new future will begin.

Take control of YOU!

Are You Going To Turn Your Ideas Into An Income?

I got to thinking about this after having read an article in this past weekend’s Parade Magazine (www.parade.com). The article was titled What I Did With My First Million by Cindy Adams. It dealt with a group of celebrities and what they did with their 1st million dollars. All of them seemed to go out and buy something a little extravagant (except maybe Matt Lauer who was concerned about ‘job security’)*, but within their new means.

* Can you relate with this?. Go to www.RetiredBeforeYourTime.com

Anyway, this article got me thinking about what I would do with a major jump in my annual income to those levels. In my case, the first major thing that I would do (after taking my wife out on a much deserved, long overdue vacation trip) would be to “pay off most of my credit card debts down to near $0.00″. I would do this as most credit card debt (or other revolving debt) is the biggest drain on most everyone’s everyday financial well-being.

Getting rid of this money dump is a direct pay increase to you. Paying off the debt will free up your mind, free up your emotions, and will change your entire perspective of life. Just think about it for a moment.

If you did not have any income draining debts, how much money would you have to do the things you have always dreamed about?

Would that amount of money be an extra $2,000/month?, Maybe $3,000?, or maybe $4,000 per month? (Wow! That’s $48,000 per year.)

Wouldn’t it be great to have this kind of additional income coming into your household?

Getting Rid of Credit Card Debt is one of the first things you should do with new income!

You’re probably saying, “Oh, this sounds great, but how do you get the money to pay off the debts?”
I think the best way is to use your ideas, skills, experiences and knowledge to create a supplemental income. Yes, that includes YOU!

What Would You Do? Feel free to comment.

Well, I am sorry for the past 3 weeks where I have not been able to make a post to my official website. My site managers were making a lot of wonderful upgrades; but some how or other, my site was one that ended up with a glitch. The important thing is that we are back up and running …and we are doing so at full speed.

While waiting on the fix to my site, I have been doing a lot of special things for both me and for you.

I have added a new lens over at Squidoo. The new lens describes information about one of my gardening hobbies and how I have learned an improved method to grow tomatoes. You might be interested in visiting the lens at www.tasty-tomatoes.com.

As part of the new lens work, you will find comments about a book that I just completed writing titled, Grow ‘Greenhouse Tomatoes’ Outside. It describes how I took an idea from memory and applied the idea and concepts in My Dollar Garden to grow tomatoes much more effectively. The book will be available for sale soon. Again, the link to the new lens is: www.tasty-tomatoes.com

Another accomplishment has been my completion of a special Suidoo Secrets Success Workshop with BobTheTeacher, Bob Jenkins.

The workshop was outstanding and I learned a lot, actually a tremendous lot. It was almost overwhelming. I cannot go into all the nuts and bolts about the workshop now; however, if your interested (and you should be if you are an entrepreneur), then you should go over to my Make Money With What You Know site and get a special report by Squidoo’s founder, Mr. Seth Godin. Learn how Squidoo began…

What Have You Accomplished with Your Ideas and Business Marketing This Month? Your Comments Appreciated.

I met with Don Seibert yesterday, Friday-Jan 18 and discussed his website, “Retire To Easy Street“, and how he got into internet marketing among other things. To make a long story short, Don put together the website for personal fun and entertainment and with the intent of helping others in the process. He had retired for the 2nd time and decided that what he had learned over his vast service and professional business careers could be beneficial to others. As a result, he put together his website as fun for himself and as a vehicle that would be beneficial to you in securing a supplemental income.

Please know that Don enjoys life to the fullest by being helpful and by just being with others and sharing ideas and life stories. He, like many, enjoy learning new things. With that mindset, Don envisioned that many other retirees were in the “same boat” as he. He could not see being completely out to pasture in retirement. He had to be doing something more with his free time… other than playing golf, cooking outstanding ribs, boating, and enjoying and being with his wonderful family. He wanted a separate personal fulfillment, something he had really not ever done before, something entrepreneurial, something with a challenge.

Eureka! The idea of sharing his experiences and helping other retirees do the same on the internet was the spark for his new “online internet business”. He envisioned that while he was having fun that he could be helpful to many retirees. He knew that many retirees wanted and certainly could benefit from having a supplemental retirement income source that they could control …and one that would provide personal activity and satisfaction.

As a result, Don created,”Retire To Easy Street” which shows how most any retiree can create a supplemental retirement income source by developing and putting together an online internet presence. One that becomes the vehicle to share their experiences, skills, and hobbies with others.

It is my belief that anyone (whether you are a retiree, a pre-retiree, a baby-boomer, or anyone really) with ideas and a desire to supplement their income can benefit as a result of Don’s work where he has created a way for you to have fun while providing an additional income stream into your household.

Please know that I have every belief that Don would welcome you copying his work as long as you take action. Retiring To Easy Street may just be the ticket you need to start your supplemental income dreams.

Do You Know How To Turn Your Ideas and Dreams Into An On-going Supplemental Income Stream?

You will find someone launching a new program to help you about everyday it seems.

There are so many internet marketing gurus trying to help you get a business started with their help, it is overwhelming. For most of us it is extremely confusing just trying to decide which one to use.

Do you use?…

1. Nitro Marketing’s “Nitro Blueprint” system, or

2. Armand Morin’s “Internet Marketing Explained” system, or

3. Russell Brunson’s “DotCom Secrets” system, or

4. Tellman Knudson’s “List Building Club“, or

5. Other Internet Marketing Gurus’ systems from
(i.e. Shawn Casey, Joshua Shafran, Marlon Sanders, Mark Joyner, and more)

or maybe some of the newer up-and-coming, but lesser known super stars…
for example:

6. Bob Jenkin’s “Success Workshop“, or

7. Sterling Valentine’s “‘PowerMonth‘ and more”,

8. or ???

The decision is tough because each of these (and many others that I have not mentioned) are first rate. To succeed, all that is required is to follow their guidance and do what they instruct you to do.

FOLLOW and DO = SUCCESS!

OK, I know you want to ask what I would do; right?
If I were asked to make a suggestion based on my personal experience about starting an online business, I would suggest combining one of the programs from the first group (1-5) and include one of the highly interactive programs from the later group (6-7).
This combination would save you time and money to begin with and…the combination would allow you to learn the necessary components of an online business while having a sounding board and peer group to answer questions you have while keeping you motivated and focused.

Which of the above systems/programs, or other, would you suggest to help someone start an online business?
