The AH-HA Moment Has Not Gone Away..It's Has Become Stronger.

Inspiration can come at a moments notice with a movie , an individual, a song, and the right place at the right time. Have you been in a certain situation were a good idea about a service or a product comes into play? We all have had that moment but the truth of it is only 3% act on it and others just go on with their lives. For those 97% you might have just wasted a huge opportunity and maybe a couple of years down the road where someone else comes up with your idea, you usually say " I thought of that idea three years ago!" Guess what...who cares..you didn't follow through.. What stops a person from following their dreams? Usually other people. The people that say "it's a stupid idea" or "if it is such a good idea why isn't anyone else doing it?!" When certain people hear that from family or friends their spark fizzles and the dream is over.. However the 3% they don't listen to that usually follow through with their plan. When they s...

Multi Level Marketing Too Risky Of A Business Model

    Just recently I was asked to attend a MLM (multi-level-marketing) get together to share my thoughts on a product my friend was about to sell. Now first, anyone that knows me knows how I simply hate that form of business because I find it as a "pushy" practice towards family and friends. In this case they were  trying to pitch a "video phone company" that I guess is going to get it's spotlight on an upcoming reality business show, which I think is great exposure for the product but my question is how are they going to beat the heavyweights..Verizon and ATT? (Hello...Skype? Facetime? Anyone) So with that being said when it comes to MLM's there is a ton of questionable businesses out there for you to start with. From "health drinks to video phones and everything in between".  Don't get me wrong a lot of people have done well, but it's not for everyone.. The world as we speak is in a fragile state with the looming conversation of another re...

Competition Should Always Be Admired..

Image
Competition should never be feared, it should be admired. A lot of people when it comes to business always fear competition, but they don’t understand how beneficial it is to their own business. The essential part of competition especially in a business industry is it’s healthy and it grows the industry. The more attractive the industry is the busier everyone will be…but you need to hustle. Case in point, 10 years ago if I ever told you that there will be leagues that will consist of video game championships that will fill a 19,000 seat arena would you believe me? Probably not. But E leagues are a specific and essential part to our culture, believe it or not. The growing competition in E leagues primarily on the title of the game and it’s genre, Play a central role. For example first person shooters, sports games such as EA’s FIFA, NBA 2K, Madden, role-playing games, etc are all essential parts of this phenomena. To the point, this morning I was listening to sports scores on a spo...

My Top 3 Side Hustles While On A Lengthy Vacation

Image
First I hope everyone is enjoying their summer, always a great time of year! The 4th of July is one of my favorite times of the year and unfortunately this year I was not in the U.S to enjoy it.  At that time I was vacationing in Canada with my family. However, I might not have been able to enjoy the 4th this year but did get to experience Canada day in Quebec on July 1st.  Ole Quebec City is simply an amazing experience and I highly recommend it, it's the closest thing to Europe.      However this blog post is not about my vacation, it's about something a lot of people think about from time to time and that is how they can enjoy conducting their business abroad while they are vacationing at length...in essence the best of both worlds.  My answer is simple... it all depends on the business / work you are aspiring to do, in order to bring you to that point in your life. .So I am going to mention my top 3 occupations that you can achieve this ambition ...

Turn your imagination into reality..with 3D Printing.

If you told me 15 years ago we will be talking to each other on our computers or cell phones and looking at each other at the same time through those devices I would say …that's "Jetson's Stuff"  But now we have Skype and FaceTime and we do just that through our computers, phones and now in with our TV's.  Now if I told you that you can create a 3 Dimensional item from a computer using a 3D printer…what would you say to that?  After researching 3D printing my jaw dropped as to what it does and what creative things you can do with it.  Granted it might be a little costly today but it is bound that the prices will drop and we will all have one of these printers in our households very soon! Check out You Tube Video above and get inspired and welcome to the "Jetson Age" :)

Don't reinvent the wheel…tweak it

I can't tell you how many times in the past 15 years when I am at some sort of gathering that I'm new to my surroundings,  I feel funny but also different.   You know how it goes you get to know the people around you no matter if it's a birthday, wedding, christening etc.  and somewhere in the conversasion the ultimate question comes up…."what do you do for a living?"    When that question comes up in most circles you will  hear….I'm in sales, construction, a nurse, a manager, secretary, attorney, etc..but when it comes to me and I say.."The scavenger hunt business"  the music stops… "you are in what?! and you make money doing that that?"  To my answers "scavenger hunt business and yes it is my career " Once I break that barrier to that question…there is this whole interest to further explore my profession which might lead into a contact.    With all do respect all the other professions listed above..they are all fantastic occu...
