An opportunity should never be bought into. By definition, an opportunity is something that people will never sell you. From franchises to swamp land in Florida, to patents and inventions, it makes no difference. Theres nothing wrong with any of the things mentioned, however if somebody is trying to sell you these things, then they are not opportunities by definition. An opportunity is an advantage that you can see that others cannot. I dont care...more
A couple of years ago my wife and I were in the process of selling our house. We were pretty sure we had found a buyer and had agreed on a price acceptable to both them, and us but they wouldn't be able to buy our house for about three months. My wife and I were totally ok with this since we weren't in any particular hurry to move, we just wanted to move into a bigger home outside of town, somewhere a bit more rural. Well, one weekend while we...more
In the immortal words of Emmerson, "all I need is one idea" Overnight wealth has a certain stigma that "sensible" people seem to be resistant to. The idea of the get rich quick variety is an object of ridicule and derision in alot of peoples eyes. However, with a little focused action and the right knowledge, rapid wealth is not only possible for you, but inevitable for the determined. The first thing I want to do is qualify the above by saying "quick" means several years not overnight. Sure, you could write a hit song or contemporary book but these have alot to do with chance. People with determination generally don't like chance because control is a solid aspect of wealth generation. Anyone can have an idea. By that I mean virtually any idea can become workable unless its just totally "out there" What matters is that you act. But more then that, before you act, you must know how to make it work. Thats really what most people with a good idea lack. So knowledge again is where the central workability comes from. So let me give you some knowledge right now. The knowledge of the wealthy. There are many ways to get rich very rapidly but I offer you an example below and some insights...more

Have you seen the new commercial and re-branding from Bill Ford and the Ford Motor Company? As you know Ford is in big trouble. So they seem to be changing their positioning and re-Branding. Here's the brilliant re-positioning they came up with (and it pretty much includes everything):1. American Auto Industry is facing new challenges and fierce competition: Ya think Bill? Maybe the writing has been on the wall for the last 15 years? Maybe Bill Ford was on a golf course somewhere counting his millions. You're too late Mr. Ford! Telling us that you're behind is like leaving the barn door open...we know it. 2. Ford is making new investments in R & D: Wow, Ford, you're blazing a new trail...By the time you catch up to BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Lexus, Toyota, Honda they'll be out with their futuristic space age models that fly which will again put you 20 years behind. Face it Ford, we don't buy your cars because of R & D. We use to buy your cars because they were American made and RELIABLE. Now they're made everywhere and they are not RELIABLE (hmmm, am I hinting at the correct positioning Bill?). Since you can't have the luxury, sports car markets why don't you make your cars more...more
