Harebrained (& Great Ideas) That Work

Get Audacious!

2011-02-05T19:03:00.000-08:00

If you have been around much at all you have likely heard something like, "He had the nerve to believe he could..." or "She had the audacity to think she would..." You can fill in the blank, "get that job", "start that business", "when the election..." etc. etc. I don't know how they fared, but one thing is certain, these "audacious" people likely moved well beyond the naysayers who, by the way, tend to just hide in the bushes and watch.

Sometimes you will hear, "Wait until the weather breaks...

until your ship comes in... till you get a little more experience... Just wait!" Now sometimes that may be good advice. Look at where you are and be certain that you are not operating out of fear and looking for an excuse not to TRY!

More often than not, "Going for it," can provide you with a level of insight and experience that is unparalleled even when not victorious, and, you never know. It just might happen. You may surprise a few people.

Life truly comes at you fast. Don't play it so safe that you wind up looking back and thinking "If I wish I could, I would, I should have... Be audacious! Have the audacity to believe you can. All the successful and fulfilled people I know or know of have tried and even failed but they kept on until they hit the mark. And you know what?

They set new trails to blaze and new targets to hit. don't blow your life savings or anything. Just take a chance. Henry David Thoreau wrote,
"If one advances confidently in the direction of one's dreams, and endeavors to live the life which one has imagined, one will meet with a success unexpected in uncommon hours."

Take Control of Your Personal Economy

2010-11-19T12:51:00.000-08:00

One of my wordpress blog entries says "Don't Just Do Something, Stand There". It is important to step back and get perspective and inspiration. Today I offer the other side of the coin. When times are hard, ride the tide! Control the rudder. Be proactive, reactive, but BE ACTIVE! Massive personal action Is like Ghandi says, "Be the change you want to see in the world." Finances suck wind? Be the change. Partner with someone, leverage a system or take a calculated chance outside the norm. If you continue to do what you have always done, at best, "you will continue to get what you've always gotten." Measure your risk then go for it with a passion.

Does Gambling on a New Business Make Sense? Low Risk High Potential Returns

2010-09-28T16:51:00.000-07:00

Does gambling make sense? We should know by now that there is no blanket answer for most questions including this one. Many people try businesses and fail and most super successful people try many businesses, fail a lot, then make it big. My risk tolerance can manage minimal costs for the potential of great returns, particularly if my participation can influence the outcome. Enjoy the blog and see if you find some tools you can use to better your station and improve your situation (Sorry the poet in me keeps coming out... but hey isn't that what life's all about?

Starting Your Own Business from Scratch - Not for the Faint at Heart

2010-06-26T05:19:00.000-07:00

While starting your own business from scratch is not faint at heart it most certainly warrants exploration. Given the tidal wave of unemployment and the instability of the times it just makes sense to take matters into your own hands. Determine your current state, your risk tolerance, your preferred style and your anticipated approach.

Current State
How great is your desire? How great is your need? what skills talents and interests do you have that might be transformed to income producing generators. I've heard both Anthony Robbins and John Demartini say the quality of our lives are directly linked to the quality of the questions we ask ourselves. Ask yourself questions that feed you and lead you where you want to go.

Risk Tolerance
What is the risk for action and for not taking action? What are you willing to do and to no longer do? The shift you take and the steps you make can be transformational. Be honest with yourself. The world is changing rapidly. What course of action will you take?

Harvard University Wants to Pay the Tuition - Honors Students $60K or Less Family Income

2010-05-06T10:13:00.000-07:00

This information was forwarded to me by email. WOW!
Harvard University announced over the weekend that from now on undergraduate students from low-income families will pay no tuition. In making the announcement, Harvard's president Lawrence H. Summers said, "When only ten percent of the students in elite higher education come from families in the lower half of the income distribution, we are not doing enough. We are not doing enough in bringing elite higher education to the lower half of the income distribution."

If you know of a family earning less than $60,000 a year with an honor student graduating from high school soon, Harvard University wants to pay the tuition. The prestigious university recently announced that from now on undergraduate students from low-income families can go to Harvard for free... no tuition and no student loans!

E-Marketing 2.0 - Upside, Downside, You Decide

2010-02-21T19:03:00.000-08:00

In the 21st century Direct Marketing, Network Marketing or Multilevel Marketing, by whatever name, has largely established itself on Wall Street. It has received mixed reviews on Main Street. The jury may not be in on "your street." Still any industry that fills stadiums, sells out hotels, transacts billions of dollars and provides a mechanism for thousands of families to achieve financial independence bears strong consideration and at minimum close investigation.

Depending on whose statistics you use or how you calculate a genuine business effort, the success ratio is at least consistent with traditional business. The investment/loss ratio however is significantly less than a traditional start-up business. At such low price points and low risk, you can choose how hard you are willing to work for how much. Usually time and effort is more of a requirement when you have made a major investment. If you already have a business and you are feeling the effects of the "economic downturn", perhaps you could stand to create another income generator. If you noticed the unemployment trend in the video on this page or in the news in your living room you may again be more curious than normal.

The Upside

We hear about all the scams where people have lost a fortune or at least their life savings on some investment. Alternatively, the risk for most internet-work marketing vehicles can be under $500, even under $50 with some kind of monthly activity which could come out of profits presuming some level of business activity. In the 21st century those closest to you need not be your primary market. You can learn how to market online. You can learn 1] through trial and error, 2] through proven business systems for a fee or ] through picking up nuggets along the way. Consider your risk tolerance, your investment capacity and your level of need.

The Downside

The downside is that when little is required it is easier to walk away without giving it a good business effort. Also, though your personal circle may not be your primary market it is part of your market and it is like a professor said at an unrelated conference, "You've heard it's not just what you know, it's who you know. That is not the whole story. It follows that it's not just who you know. It is what who you know, knows about you." A lot of pain can be experienced when the people who you thought "had your back" do not join or support you in your enterprise. Even if its personal don't take it in. You are taking control of your world and inviting them to participate. They can remain part of your world in other ways. You need to take care of yourself and your family.

There usually is a direct correlation to the cost to get started and to the profit made when you help someone you get started conduct a minimum transaction, service or sale. A few opportunities I like are noted here. In my opinion the entire industry owes a debt of gratitude to the Amway Corporation, now known as Quixtar and Amway Global for blazing a trail through which many have followed. I also have great respect for Herbalife who went toe to toe with the regulatory bodies and survived unfounded negative press. There are many established businesses like Mary Kay or Avon that carry strong reputations. Of course up and coming businesses of this type come with their own strengths and challenges. The important thing is to take action on your personal economy YOUR WAY.

Now with online marketing, and all this social media and search engines those willing to learn or pick up an online marketing system stand to do well in turbulent times. You can get training KYSS through a group we call WOWTEAM World. Actually most online businesses will offer some type of online training.

"Don't think for a minute that you have no capacity. You just need a little audacity. When things are down just look around. Opportunities will surely be found.
If you get knocked to the ground, don't give up. Look up. Stand up.
Set yourself free. Be what you were meant to be.
Give yourself a chance. Why just walk, when you can dance." - Clifton McKnight

Ideas are powerless if not implemented. Act on your future now. If you want to create your own thing have some faith in yourself and connect and learn. If you see a vehicle that you want to use take action and be in touch.
