How Do You Turn Your Ideas Into A Profitable Business?
I show people how to take their ideas and turn them into profitable businesses...and if I cannot, I'll direct them to others who can.
Converting Ideas To Income
Write your first information product book for income.
I am nearing the completion of my first book, an eBook, about my 2007 tomato growing experience. The idea for the book was prompted by one of my first activities on the internet where I was trying to learn how all the internet things worked.
Well, it took a little longer than expected as I am somewhat of a perfectionist and I try to learn and do all I can.
My first book is titled "Grow Greenhouse Tomatoes Outside" and is partly attributable to an experience I had some 20 years ago.
You can learn more about my book by going over to www.tasty-tomatoes.com if you are interested.
All indications are that the book will finally be available for sale by this Easter Sunday.
Do you like to grow tomatoes so good that your neighbors' necks stretch...while looking over your fence to try and learn how you grow them?

How Are You Going To Pay Your Taxes?
You Know, Your $175,000 Assessment
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's 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!

What Would You Do With Your First $Million? An 'Idea' From Reading, "What I Did With My First Million" by Cindy Adams in Parade
Should You Care About What You Do With Your First Million Dollars?
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 Matt Lauer's insecurity?. 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!

Do You Have Ideas?
If So, Use Them To Grow A Business....or a Passive Income Stream.
So many folks have so much knowledge and so much experience that they can call upon those resources to build and grow a business and a major income stream.
All that is really needed is for you to take those resources ...and let others 'know what you know'.
Keep in mind that your resources could be any accumulated skills or learnings you have including a technical skill, a professional specialty, or just a keen interest or passion in a hobby, a craft, or a sport.
Taking any of these and sharing them with others can become a business, or at least a significant income stream quite quickly. You could directly sell things, teach others how to do something, or write articles or books describing and sharing your passion or skill.
The key at this point is to Take Action that will cause others to seek you out.

An Experimenting Idea Becomes A Book About Tomato Gardening
Simple Ideas Can Become Profitable Income Streams
My first book, Grow "Greenhouse Tomatoes" Outside will make its debut very soon.
The book is about an experiment conducted in My Dollar Garden, my garden spot located in my backyard.
The experiment was conducted based on an observation I was privileged to witness 20 years ago, combined with information I read in a book recently. Reading the book unlocked my memory of my 20 year old experience and that lit up the "aha!" light in my mind.
The result of the experiment was the production of some of the most beautiful, tasty and abundant tomatoes I have ever produced. And interestingly enough, they were produced in a drought year of unprecedented severity.

I Met With Don Seibert The Founder Of "Retire To Easy Street"
Supplemental Retirement Income From Your Ideas, Skills, and Experiences
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.

Does Everyone Want to Help You Create An Online Business?
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?

No matter how good your product or service might be, if you don't promote your product and let people know about it ...well, the only thing you have is a great product or service doing nothing for no one. And of course you know who the real loser is in a scenario like this.
So, if you know who your market is and where it is located you must let your market know "who you are", "what you provide", and "what you can do for them". Your business, or any business, the number one function of your business is marketing, marketing, and marketing.
If marketing has to be the number one function of your business, then...
How do you get out in the middle of your crowd so that they run all over you?

Is It A Skill, A Passion, or a Summary of Experiences?
Most anything you can think of can be turned into a profitable business or a supplemental income stream.

LOVE your Lens! Yes, we ALL have information that we can use to earn a stream of income.
One of my business interests is to offer resources to people who are 'lost' like I was 5 years ago when I started online in search of income. And like you, "if I cannot, I'll direct them to others who can."

Protect Yourself Against Recession: Create A Supplemental Income
Others are saying what I have been saying. Create a supplemental income stream!
This morning I read the Sunday newspaper, "The Birmingham News", and in its Money section under MONEY TIPS an article appeared titled: "Take Steps to Avert Dangers of Recession" by Teresa Dixon Murray, Newhouse News Service. The article discussed several key points regarding how you can hedge against a possible recession to maintain your financial stability.
Ms. Murray suggested a number of ways to protect against a recession; some of these include:
-Consider getting a home equity loan while you have a job and can currently qualify for one.
-Consider investing in secure large-cap investments
-Get your finances organized
-Develop a budget
-Identify all your assets
-Pay down debt
-Increase your rainy day fund
-Delay any major discretionary spending
and
-Look for new sources of income
This last item truly caught my attention as she stated that if you're the only one employed in your household, then you should look at turning a hobby into a side business or try to develop a new skill with a part-time job. The point she made was that if you lost your regular income source (a job), then you at least would have something to fall back on.
I agree with Ms. Murray; however, I would take the concept a step further and say... Develop and have a supplemental income stream, a side business, at all times, regardless of whether you are the only person employed in your household.
I believe that everyone should have an income producing side business of some sort as long as it is productive and does not require any substantial time. In today's time with the internet, an online business about your hobby, your skill, your life's experiences is certainly a viable option for a realistic supplemental income source, recession or not.

Have You Prepared Yourself For Prosperity in 2008?
Have You Taken Time To Set Your Goals And Plans for the New Year?
I would hope that you have, but if you haven't, this first week is a good time to take care of that important need.
FIRST - Get Rid Of Clutter!
(Anything piled up or just sitting around that is in your line of sight is one of the most distracting energy drains you can have). Get rid of the crap now! As if your life depended on it.
With your work area and living area and more importantly "your mind cleared" of clutter you can now proceed to your second critical need%u2026
SECOND - Set Your Goals!
One good way to do this is to reflect back on 2007 and list out the goods, and the not so goods for the year. From that, based on whatever your lifelong goal happens to be, (you do have a lifelong goal don't you?) write out a listing of your 2008 goals. Ensure that they are realistic (can be accomplished in 12 months), but challenging.
Now, that you have your list of realistic, but challenging goals, prioritize them from highest to those of lesser importance (you know, the ones you would like to accomplish, but are not critical to your lifelong goal or vision).
Having prioritized your list, pick your #1 Must Accomplish Goal as related to your lifelong goal or vision. That it! Your goal-setting is complete.
Should you have any other goals, add only two (2) additional goals max. (i.e. 3 goals is the absolutely max. for anyone who really expects to succeed.) [If you have issues with 3 max. then delegate those other goals and let someone else accomplish them for you%u2026or just forget about them until and only after you have completed your Must Accomplish Goal(s).]
THIRD -
Backward Plan Your Action Steps Into A Workable Plan! In other words, develop your milestones that will allow you to stepwise reach and accomplish your goal. One of the easiest ways to do this is to start with your goal(s) and work backwards. Determine what would be the next to last step you need to accomplish to achieve the next step, and continue to do this again and again until you reach now.
When you have completed this, "you have your plan".
FOURTH, LASTLY, and MOST IMPORTANT -
TAKE ACTION ON YOUR PLAN! DO IT! and DO IT! and CONTINUE to DO IT!....UNTIL YOU HAVE "DONE IT!"

Those are my biggest obstacles also. However, I would expect to see some real results in the very near future. Our course with Bob does move one up in the rankings. Also, I listened to a teleseminar and they described how they use blogs and squidoo to get #1 position on Google within minutes.
