FREE GIFT & TRENDY STUFF

I’m going to prove to you that you don’t fit in. In fact, I didn’t either.

Here is the good news; we are the kind of people that can make things happen and make great things occur.

You’re a big thinker and may not know it yet. You read old books like Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. You’ve told people about it and some may have thought that you are weird.

You may have not got it right 100% in the past but that is okay, you will get a chance to reap the great rewards.

You are destined to be an influencer…You see, you have been preparing for something big and I want to remind you what you have in your head. That is right, all those books and the good stuff you’ve been putting into your mind will take off.

I don’t care what program or opportunity you’re in…I’m sure it’s a good one.

What you need are 2-3 people to bounce ideas off of, a couple of people that truly cheer you on and reveal to YOU who YOU are.

Let’s face it…how much money, real cash are you making in your business right now. Are you a “super executive” or a “Diamond” yet? This process will cause you to go to another level, to massively influence others. When you have people around you that support you even if they aren’t your upline, downline, etc., then you are on to something. Maybe you’ve felt weird about telling people about your program but it doesn’t have to be that way any longer. Your relatives don’t have to understand YOU or your comments from The Magic of Thinking Big, As a Man Thinketh or Think and Grow Rich…

Get around those that think different; that think different like YOU. Soon you will have people listening to you and a business growing. It has little to do with your opportunity or if you are a good person or go to church or this or that.

You have to be out of context… The good news is there are millions of people just like you and me. We are the people that don’t quite fit…We’re just a little different and we do have vision…

“Hey Al, how come people don’t get it?”

“Hey Al, why do I feel different?”

“Hey Al, why am I so weird?”

You see, you have a dream a desire to be great. The people that you have come across have no difference between their reality and their self image. Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, Abe Lincoln and Ben Franklin were all considered weird too.

You aren’t really motivated by money… (really). Being a capitalist is great; do it! But you would still be YOU…

It’s okay that most people don’t understand you or don’t see it. It’s supposed to be this way and your mistake has is not understanding these people just see life different. Your friends, neighbors and family are not stupid…they may be ignorant.

They are reading the right books and happy with their $40k a year job and can’t see beyond that. That’s the way it is; they earn to the degree of their title.

Three kinds of people…

1) Success motivated

2) Failure motivated

3) Mediocrity

Work on YOU and make that YOUR program. Don’t worry, the people will come and you will grow. Be a “can do” person and get around others that think the same way.

“Hey Al, you don’t understand I “use to” do great in this industry”

“Hey Al, people aren’t duplicating”

“Hey Al, I’m just not making enough money and I’ve been in 9 programs”

I can tell you it’s not the program; YOU are the progam. Forget hard work or all construction workers would live in mansions. Perseverance? Are you kidding me?

Until you are willing to do WHATEVER it takes (not about hard work or perseverance) then you will keep getting what you have gotten so far.

YOUR program is who YOU become and being able to press on, move forward and doing whatever it takes.

Become the right person and you will attract people…

Circulate positive energy and you will get people’s attention…

Are you willing to do anything?

Do you really have will power?

And….

If you have doubt, then there’s something missing in your life. There is a reason you are denying yourself BUT you can change that.

Be happy that you’re different…

I care about you because if you liked this; then we are kindred spirits. Do something BIG…it’s going to happen!

See you at the TOP!

I have people pitch me on the latest vitamin, pill, potion, lotion or juice and it all seems to sound the same after a while. I came across some “buzz” on this company Avant and found it very interesting as I compared it to a real estate brokerage but without the overhead, risk or liability.

This new company has a “different” feel to it that will either appeal to you or not.

At first glance, it really doesn’t seem like a network marketing company but it is!

Here’s the corporate site http://WeAreAvant.com and focus is on personal development. If you like Tony Robbins and The Secret then you will most likely connect with this company and their products.

When I viewed the compensation plan I was able to relate it at the time I had my Real Estate franchise. Imagine, as a real estate broker that your goal is to recruit 30-40 agents, train them, support them and then earn a percentage from each of their sales and maybe you make a sale here and there. It’s a pretty cool set-up if it weren’t for all the risk and overhead.

Okey, the Avant business model is just that. No lotion, potions, pills or juices that require you to build your group to thousands of people to earn a six-figure income.

The compensation plan is a good mix between what is large upfront income and passive or override income. Imagine you make a sale a week in Avant; you would earn a minimum of $4,000 monthly. Now imagine you have 30-40 people on your team like in the real estate example. The average override is $250. Imagine this group each averages that one sale per week and let’s say 30 people on our team. $250 X 4 sales each X 30 people means you earn $30,000 a month. Of course, there is no guarantee of what you will earn and what others will do but feel free to study the compensation model and adjust up or down. (Imagine, if you had 100 people on your team and not 30?)

The plan pays on four levels so there is an opportunity for a larger team and those bring in others and there is no auto-ship. This alone is an interesting component when you compare it to say a nutritional MLM that requires you to purchase $250 worth a product a month. In one year that’s $3,000 spent on vitamins or juice and imagine how much that adds up to in just 5 years.

This great model of compensation will attract more professionals who would normally not give a hoot about MLM and that is key and huge if you think of a wider market that can appeal to more people. I say this because personal development is appealing to a broad audience and the business is not built in the traditional sense with home parties, etc.

Al Rodriguez is a long time entrepreneur having spent 20 years as the owner of a multiple mortgage offices, a real estate franchise and real estate investor. A few years ago he turned this knowledge and began a coaching company for these industries and today has transitioned into helping others accelerate their success in a home based business with a “can-do” style and real world marketing strategies.

Looking to find valuable information about MINDSET AND SIMPLE MARKETING , then find great advice on BIZ THAT PAYS BIG MONEY; RAMPS UP QUICK for you.

When you start something new is hard to know ahead of time what tools and knowledge you’re going to need. Combine this with a natural resistance towards spending money on an unknown venture and you’ll likely wind up lacking something that’s essential to your business.

The funny part is when I was a traditional entrepreneur, I spent thousands and thousands of dollars a month on rent, employees, marketing and so much more BUT when I began a home based business…..I got cheap!

This is not totally true but there is a tendency to “hold back” and not spend money and I can understand being careful but the reality is you need to make right decisions for your business and this often means spending in the right areas when it comes to tools, services, marketing and lead generation AND the right business model.

As an example, my first attempt developing an online business utilized cheap domain names (.biz, .info) and web hosting which impeded my ability to have a professional looking web site. The truth is I felt overwhelmed entering a new industry and market. There was simply too much to know and I didn’t know where to get the right information to make my business a success. When things looked liked they weren’t working I often times switched gears or abandoned that idea but this meant a loss of time and money. It took some time but I began to turn the corner.

Knowing When And Where To Ask For Help… This is big key and you need to find the person(s) that will help you get where you want to get WITHOUT all the HYPE and GURU stuff as this tends to only empty your pockets and has little to do with putting money into your bank account.

Simply take a step back and look at your business with “objective” eyes. Does the model make sense and what is your expected outcome? If you’re building an M.LM don’t over think it but realize you may need to apply yourself for 3-5 years in order to build a sizeable organization that pays well.

If you’re into affiliate marketing and have a gross commission of $30 per sale; analyze that and realize you will need to sell 100 of them in order to earn $3,000 monthly (less marketing expenses). The above is not good or bad; simply look at this from a business point of view as I did for many years in my traditional and offline businesses.

Okay, great advice but what does this have to do with tools, your mindset and making money?

Your mindset can be destroyed if you see failure and after failure and weeks, months and even years go by without the success you are dreaming about. So, look at your business and decide if it’s the right “vehicle” to get you where you want to go. If it is, great! If not, pick another “horse” and ride it.

Next, seek a coach or mentor to advise you on the tools or services that are “must have” to help you succeed and avoid the $3k Guru programs for now and just get practical advice. This doesn’t have to be expensive.

Finally, develop you inner game, your mindset. Who are you talking to, who are you connecting with and what books are you reading?

By the way, hanging out on Facebook is not the secret to getting rich…great social media but you need to take action and implement. More on this later….

Stay Strong!

Men and women who read starting own business information on the internet wonder if they too can have a successful online venture. When they go get into the actual business, they realize how easy it was to get started. It is much easier than forming a traditional brick and mortar business. There are no employees to hire, there is no expenditure of a huge amount of money, and there is no building to lease.

The online business is run from the comfort of one’s home. Many people go into this business with the goal of working for themselves so that they can someday quit their day job. They want to have control of their financial future. They do not want to work for someone else who can dictate to them when to take a break, when to take lunch, and when to come into work.

It is easy to start an online business, but it takes commitment and determination to be successful. Those who are aiming for success should follow the steps of those who have become wealthy on the internet. The first step is choosing the right target market.

Many make the error of choosing a market based on their own interest, which might not have a lot of money potential. The smart internet business owner will choose the market that is already spending money on a product. This distinction must be understood and adhered to if someone wants to make money online.

Someone could be in love with bird watching and thinks that everyone should have the same passion. But there is not much money to be made in this market. But someone could target his business based on destinations where bird watching is popular. Travel websites make money by helping to sell travel packages and other travel related services.

The online business has to be targeted to a particular market that has money to spend and a means to order on the internet. In other words it would not make sense to target people who are too young to apply for a credit card. It would not be wise to target a market that does not have disposable income to spend.

The key to online success is research. The successful business owner knows everything she can learn about her market. The business owner who knows his target market backward and forward will be successful.

She has to know their age group, whether they are single or married, what websites they visit primarily. Then she has to put together a plan as to how she intends on attracting this group to her website where she can provide a product or service people in this market need and will buy. The next step is to advertise.

One of the best ways to promote a product or service to a particular market is via pay per click advertising. In fact, most people who start in the internet business will start with pay per click advertising because it is easy to set up a campaign. The key to success on the internet is choosing the right market and advertising to that market.

Prepaid debit cards that you may normally find at websites such as Netspend.com or Accountnow.com have been growing in popularity in this nation ever since the downturn of the financial system. The financial sector has tightened up its rules and regulations making it more difficult to receive credit from banks and to obtain approval for credit cards. Because of the drastic alterations in the market clients are resorting more and more to utilizing prepaid debit cards. Many people are not aware of the benefit and uses of prepaid cards so here is a brief rundown of their advantages and disadvantages.

A great deal of customers use prepaid phone cards for their mobile phones and the concept is the same for prepaid debit cards. They are instruments that you use to deposit money into allowing you the opportunity to spend that money at stores just like a Visa card. That identical cash can also be withdrawn just like the way we make use of ATM cards. There are several ways that money can be deposited on these type cards which are via direct deposit, cash, bank transfer, and more.

A lot of people would want to look at prepay cards as credit cards but they are not. They do have similar features of a credit card but the main difference is you are only spending or utilizing money that you deposited on the card. When using an ordinary credit card you are essentially borrowing money from the credit institution which you must pay back. The main similarity between credit cards and prepaid debit cards is the Visa logo which enables you to use your card for purchases most anywhere the Visa logo is accepted.

One of the chief advantages and factors consumers have been considering when deciding on pre pay debit cards have been how suitable and easy it is for them to keep track of their expenses better. Prepaid debit cards have helpful features that will alert consumers when they are spending too much and when their next payment is due. There is moreover the reality that there is no credit check required to get approved for a pre-paid card and no interest rates involved not like credit cards.

Most existing credit card holders are honestly considering stopping their accounts for the purpose of using pre-paid cards. Consumers are irate at their current credit card issuers considering how they have drastically increased their interest rates for no reason and are looking to stop using credit cards altogether. People have been trying to do a much better job of budgeting their spending particularly during the present financial catastrophe and pre-paid cards have been an alluring selection for consumers.

As we have observed the usefulness of prepaid debit cards there are a few disadvantages to note as well. There have been additional charges that can incur month to month and an initial fee when you ask for a debit card. There might be an application fee or else a month to month usage cost. It is always a good idea to research which prepaid cards offer the lowest fees. Like mentioned previously the more prevalent prepaid cards like the ones presented at Netspend.com, Accountnow.com, or maybe even MyGreenDot.com have been the favored cards to look into. If you are tired of using credit and want to get your finances under control then consider using prepaid debit cards.

In the past, it was always the mothers who prepared for dinner, but with the increasing participation of the mothers in the workforce, fathers have to take in the role of the mother in preparing for the food at home.

In most homes, mothers still remain to be the one who is responsible for the food preparation. These mothers who have to work on a full-time basis often content to purchase food that are take out from fast foods and restaurants which are often full of fats and cholesterol.

Statistics show that children of these mothers are expected to be overweight. There seems to be a negative relationship between homemade food intake to obesity.

Further studies have shown that about 40% of the men know how to cook, but only 13% of the meals are prepared by him in home.

It is sad to say, but these statistics are going down every month. Men no longer like cooking. They see cooking has an obligation.

However, there are opportunities to change this attitude. TV cooking shows, magazines on food and cooking, and internet websites are there to draw men, particularly the fathers, to cooking.

All these efforts had little effect. Men are still “afraid” from the kitchen. They simply refuse to cook…

This is where women may be able help change men’s view. Women can involve men in the development of the recipe and actually, turning the ingredients into meals together.

In line with this thinking, it would be better if the family becomes involve in preparing the meals in the kitchen. With everybody involved, fathers will certainly take out their inhibitions about cooking while they explore the experience of coming up with their meal.

Once some fathers start to cook, others will follow their examples and we might be able to reverse the statistics.

Here is an interesting fact. On average, more than nineteen-thousand domain names expire each day. Why should you care? Well, if you are looking for business opportunities, then buying expired domain names could be your answer. Just look at how things have progressed. In the not so distant past, only around 1000 domains expired per day. Therefore, the opportunity to purchase expired domain names was not as great as it is now. You now have the opportunity to profit off of the hard work which someone else has abandoned.

It appears to be that one of the major contributors to the large number of expiring domains, is the fact that most people only choose to register their domain for 1 year. What usually happens, is that the person who originally registered the domain builds a website, and drives traffic to that sight. Unfortunately for them, when they do not see immediate results, they become discouraged, and give up. When the time to renew their domain comes around, often times they have moved on to something else. However, sometimes a renewal is simply overlooked. Either way, the good news for you is that their loss is your gain. Often times expired domains have already gained a great deal of credibility with the search engines, and are receiving hundreds of visitors daily. As a business opportunist, this provides you with two options. One, you can take this expired domain, and funnel the traffic which it is receiving to your website, or two, you can sell the domain and earn a profit.

You will learn that there are many methods of locating these domain names. You will also discover how to determine whether or not a domain name is valuable, and how to get it before someone else does. My experience has been somewhat unique. I have actually had the best success in purchasing expired domains on eBay, of all places. However, the last time that I made a purchase was back in October of 2008. Lately, I have noticed that many of the domain names on eBay are quite unimpressive. Nonetheless, if you check out GoDaddy.com, and go to the “Domains” area, it will lead you to a section which says “Auctions & More”. You will find several expired, or soon to expire domains there.

Further, many business opportunists will register with an online service which alerts them daily of expiring domain names. Such service keeps any entrepreneur ahead of the competition looking for the same business opportunities. Needless to say, competition for the most valued, easily remembered, expired domain names, is through the roof. Often times these domains are not only easy to remember, but have been in existence for a long time. Therefore, you should not be shocked if you see an expired domain name, which could have been renewed for as little as $8.99, sell for in excess of $100,000. I have seen this happen first hand.

The truth is that there are great business opportunities in expired domains. If you choose to take advantage of these opportunities, remember that you have some options. Something as small as a $10 investment can set your existing website up with consistent, focused traffic. This same $10 investment can also provide you with an opportunity to purchase an expired domain, and sell it for thousands, if not hundreds of thousands. Keep both of these options in mind.

Discover how you can make expired domain names Business Opportunities. It is very possible to center a Home Based Business around buying and selling these valuable domains. Come and visit us at SOSComplete.com

In today’s hard economic times, many are looking for ways to make ends meet. One new approach to supplement dwindling incomes is to get paid for online surveys. Although the income from this option does not replace a full-time salary, having a few extra dollars at the end of the month in one’s pocket is nice.

Although the Internet is filled with scammers there are many reliable companies, as well. By keeping a few rules in mind, one can make money without getting “taken for a ride.” The income from online surveys is not sufficient to replace the wages one could make in a full-time job, but knowing that Little League can be paid for and Christmas will be less stressful this year can make it well worth the while.

The need for this type of research is important to the consumer. Companies want to produce products that consumers like, but without pre-testing buyer reaction millions of products could be made only to find out they’re not sell-able. For each bottle of shampoo purchased, toilet paper used, and food item eaten, the research process has been completed. With the Internet, today’s researchers are able to expand their search far beyond what was available previously.

As with anything on the Internet it’s important to protect your identify and information so there are some things that need to be remembered if one is thinking about attempting this form of income generating venture. Having an email that’s used only for online surveys will prevent exposure of a personal email address to scam artists.

Another thing to remember is that if you’re asked to pay an upfront fee or the number of points accumulated in exorbitant before a small payoff is received, it’s probably not a reliable company.

For many today the need to supplement existing income is prevalent. Although one will never become rich through research participation, for those who get paid for online surveys the time seems well worth the effort.

There are legitimate online survey jobs out there, you just have to know where to go. If you are thinking about it, why not online survey taker jobs as an easy way to make money, you will not be disappointed.

This thought today is short and simple BUT powerful!

I hear all the time people say, “I don’t have time” or “You don’t understand, I have kids” or “Fill in the blank”.

Hey, I’m not here to tell you what to do and chances I’m preaching to the choir if you’re already in a home based biz. However, you may or may not be applying your time effectively.

Are you really getting the results you desire?

Figure out a time commitment that works for you and your family. As an example, commit to just one hour per day to building the business, while working a full time job. If you’re full time at home, then work it!

While the time might sound small one hour a day) it works and becomes a daily goal, helps you focus and become effective in the time allotted.

Goal setting can get out of hand if you’re goals aren’t realistic.

Be a super dreamer and go for it….but baby steps, baby steps. What I mean is set a few goals that you can achieve in the next 30 days or less. Build that mindset muscle and see self esteem grow and eventually go through the roof.

Next, decide on some 60 day and 90 days goals each time building towards more success and satisfaction. Hey, being a Double Whammy Bammy Blue Diamond is great but how about making your first sale or your first $1,000 or $2,000 month and go from there? Does that make sense?

The major thing is keep it simple and focused on your highest payoff activities. An example, would be to make sure you speak to (yes, I said speak to) 3 people a day about your business opportunity. Another example, would be to have one piece of marketing implemented and done weekly. Still yet, commit to a certain amount of follow up (specific number and goal) in order to collect a decision from a prospect, etc.

The major problem is to lose focus and use your time to straighten up your desk or listening to all the company training calls, etc. Just make sure 80% of your time spent on working your business is results-driven activity.

As you get better at running your business it gets easier to figure out ways to achieve goals in a realistic time frame. I am here if you need me.
