30 Day Challenge?

Ok so I am still deciding what my Goals are and how much work I want to acquire before I jump in with both feet. So I was thinking of getting My Goals straight and coming up with a 30 Day Challenge for myself. This is normally where the confusion comes in for me. :( I want to be Dedicated and Committed to achieving My Goals. But again this is where it comes in and why I believe I had put up this Blog, which is for Accountability for myself. I want this soooooooooo bad, you have no idea. :( I have wanted this for a few years now.

So what I am going to do is put up a 30 Day Challenge starting Monday, October 8th 2007 with my Goals.

Building Multiple Businesses?

This question comes up a lot with interacting with other business owners on various forums. Some say its a good idea, others don't think its a good idea.

I find it hard to Focus so I don't think its a good idea for myself to focus on more than one business. I did one time try to do but I just don't think its possible unless you are already successful in your current business. I am Focusing on my Travel Biz, my Travel Booking site and I really want to do my Jerky Business. . That is still a lot to focus and only two are related.

So just be sure to do your Research and decide whether or not you can handle more than one Project.

Can you really get FREE Stuff Online?

I figured I would do this Post to tie into the Survey Post since technically they are both about the GPT (Get Paid To) Industry.

The Famous Free IPod is real and I did actually get my own free black 30GB IPod for Free onOctober 2006.

Plus many other free items such as a Laptop, $500 Amex Gift Card, DS Lite, 2 $50 Gift Cards, over $1,000 PayPal Cash plus many more. If you are interested in learning more about it you can learn more about it at my GPT site JackiesGpt.com or My Blog.

Using my Free Laptop now BTW. :)

Its a FREE Brand New Toshiba Satellite with Windows Vista with a 15.4" diagonal widescreen. I am still excited about it, can't you tell? LOL.

Can you really Get Paid for taking Surveys??

The Answer is YES. I have been doing for Surveys a LONG time Online. Its not a lot of money, from one place I receive a couple of $5 checks every month from Pinecone. I have received Amazon Certificates about every couple of months from TestSpin.com and LightSpeedpanel.com.

PLEASE DO NOT PAY FOR INFORMATION FOR SURVEYS!

The BEST place to find out about LEGITIMATE Surveys is SurveyPolice.com

Its not money that will let me retire from my 9-5 but I call it my Fun Money! :) .

My Coffee and My Laptop

My two favorite things to have in the morning. Every morning I make my pot of coffee and check emails and various sites I visit daily and just sit and relax. Unfortunately I have to then get ready to go to my 'JOB' but those few precious moments I get in the morning, really makes me feel like I am working from home and someday I will. :)

aha moment!!!

Its almost 3 am, I just watched another well, rags to riches story about the gangsta rapper 50 cent and I was first reading about his biography in the famousWikipedia. Then I moved onto Forbes Magazine because it came up on my search on Blingo and BAM! It helped me solve one of my issues with writing! LOL!!!

Anyway I will be jotting down my ideas for it tomorrow...and isn't amazing how your BEST ideas come late at night??

Analysis Paralysis

I think I have it. That is why I cannot come up with a Marketing Plan. There is no true definition for 'Analysis Paralysis' but basically it means in wiki terms "Analysis paralysis is an informal phrase applied when the opportunity cost of decision analysis exceeds the benefits. Analysis paralysis applies to any situation where analysis may be applied to help make a decision and may be a dysfunctional element of organizational behavior. Often phrased as paralysis by analysis, in contrast to extinct by instinct."

Ok, I am going to decide on 2-3 Marketing techniques on each of the Businesses I want to work on and get started on it on Sunday. I am just going to have to research a little further and decide which techniques would work best for each part of the business and quit this nonsense. Jerky Direct is having a Fast Start Promotion until December 31st 2007. I want to do it really bad. We are now in the beginning of October. I have 3 months to do something BIG with it.

I also want to generate ton of Sales for my Online Travel Site and of course generate Pre-Qualified Leads for my Travel Business.

Well I came across more Great Marketing information today.

One is an ebook written by a fellow Networker Marketer Melanie Milletics. Let me tell you, she knows her stuff with Marketing especially for Network Marketing. Anyway she is giving away this great ebook for FREE on how to Market your MLM Business. :)

My Blog

I am not quite sure why I am Blogging here and if I will update it, I guess I just need a place where I can discuss my business ideas and thoughts. I LOVE talking about Business and a lot of people around me hardly understand the concept of 'Business' and why it will ever be the greatest thing you will ever do and the freedom you will have when you pursue it and I am not talking about being self-employed but being a real business person or Entrepreneur. I can discuss it with my partner, because we are doing it together but I like to talk about it enough to make your brain EXPLODE LOL. I just love to ramble on and on and on...and if you ever get sick of it, remember to just keep surfing LOL but I will see be here rambling. LOL.

My One Year Goal for Financial Independence

I have one MAJOR Goal in mind this year and that is to FINALLY achieve my financial independence. I have a lot of work to do, like I had mentioned in a previous post. I am using all my skills I had learned from previous businesses/books/sponsors plus new information I find on the internet to come up with the perfect marketing plan. And let me tell you those opportunities that are free to check out before you join offer GREAT information about Marketing. These Businesses are great for something. I will list the ones that I think have the best Marketing information below:

MyPowerMall

SFI

Cognigen

The Purple Cowboys


So I have been following the marketing information and re-reading it and also learning a lot in the marketing group I am in.

Like I said also in a previous post I have a dilemma coming up with a tight marketing plan. I have a couple of things I am doing but its not enough. I just want to be good, really REALLY GOOD.

On the Business that I am ACTUALLY working on YTB and my Travel Booking site and partially my Jerky Business.

I do tend to overthink things sometimes though, but I am trying to apply less thinking and more action. I mean I am taking action but I just need MORE.

Anyway my Goal I am shooting for is August 2008 and I will do it THIS YEAR.

How to Investigate Home Business Opportunities

As I was surfing at my usual spots I came across this great report on investigating home business opportunities, the author of the report is giving it away for free. So I thought I would share this information with the rest of the world to watch for 'Scams' and such when looking for home based business.

Click HERE the Free 32 Page Report :)

Risky Business

How many of you are Risk Takers? (Business wise)

I, consider myself a risk taker. I have taken a lot of Business risks. I love working hard core business, like high risk investments. Any Business people don't want to touch I want to be involved. Why? Because I am not going to miss out on something BIG and screaming SCAM never chases me away. A lot of people say 12DailyPro was a Scam. I saw it as something different. A lot of people say MLM is a Scam. ITS NOT. I am not going to declare whether or not 12DailyPro was a scam. Because I still have not properly formed my opinion on it and I WAS involved in it.

But aside from 12DailyPro, MLMs, HYIPs etc...I would love to get involved in the Stock Market. That Business really intrigues me and I have considered many times to become a Stock Broker.

I also want to get involved in high end direct sales like Liberty League or the 1st Step System. But I figure I can save that for when I get REALLY Good. And its all still a learning process for me after all these years.......

I would love to be a Heavy Hitter. I think I have the balls for it (excuse my french LOL). I would train my people to market and make money. I love helping people too. I am just still learning it all too.

I just know I want to have my Freedom, Time and Money and Recognition is really Important to Me. I want to feel Important, I want people to look up to me like to those I look up to. Its a big thing for me, I think its a big thing for a lot of people. We all need to feel Good and Important.

Ok so here is what I am doing....

Well I had joined a specific Marketing Group to learn about Internet Marketing/Affiliate Marketing. Which is in a way related to my Network Marketing Business YTB so I can generate Leads and Sales for my Travel Booking site . I am so far off to a good start. I cannot wait to post when I start generating sales. I LOVE the Sales Business! :)

Also, my partner is working with me and its nice to have someone you love work with you on something you love. Its a nice change.

Part of it requires me to write articles and I just have not been inspired to write articles which is my dilemma. I have wrote a couple in my day but I am still working on getting inspired to write more as it is good marketing technique and a lot of people use it.

I find it funny that I can blog here but not where I should be working LOL, I guess I need some other kind of outlet for release and accountability for myself. Back then and maybe still now a lot of people don't take me seriously Business wise, it bothered me at first but it really doesn't matter.

I also have my Jerky Business which I would like to get off the ground. I think because of the smaller fee to join would be easier for those who are afraid of a big risk. Plus I just love the Business..

I will also be placing an Ad in the paper soon, I am still trying to come up with a formal Marketing Plan, which has been proving most difficult. I don't know why its hard to come up with a list to market with consistently.

My GOAL is for Financial Independence by August 2008. I need this, I want this and I want it NOW!

My Story in Pursuit of Financial Independence

When I was around 17 years old, I had been going to school and working and then I turned 18 and joined my first Multi-Level Marketing/Network Marketing Business. I went and saw a Hotel presentation and was just in awe, so I bought into the Business but then had came into some personal problems of my own and didn't do anything with it. I also later that year had joined AVON and Don Lapre's Infomercial Money Making kit and owned my own 900 number to publish and get Paid. I did not get paid from AVON but I did earn my first check from placing an Ad in the paper for my 900! That was awesome at the age of 18. :)

I, then got married and try to focus on my Work at Home/Financial Independent pursuits. My now (ex) husband was not in support of what I was doing but I did it anyway. I had tried product assembly and I had purchased Foreclosure lists and Car Repossession lists...then I moved!

I had moved to Mexico and we had so much money leftover from the move that we had opened up a Tienda (Store like 7-11 or Maverick). It was good, because we made money but honestly I HATED IT! Because I had to tend to the store all day. So, I enjoyed the food! LOL.

Then I came back and was still itching to make it on my own and not work and so I joined a SLEW of Businesses....literally! I don't know what came over me. But mainly I had joined Arbonne in the beginning and realized I could not do anything with that kind of business and then I made of friend at my new job where I temped after I came out of Job Corps, and she did AmeriPlan and her Upline was very Successful! But then I did not do anything with it for many months because busy with life and getting a permanent job and all and so I finally quit the Business. I was sad but I had put it behind me. I also joined Jerky Direct, Cogigen, and many others that were free and cheap to join. I was very dissatisfied but I did make money in GPT those 2-3 years I was joining all those opportunities. I was doing PTRs, Get Free Stuff and the big bad 12DailyPro plus HYIPs so I did make some money those years. I also sold AVON again for about a year and a half. I did good at it and my Jerky Business also starting off anyway. I also joined PAS which crashed right along with 12DailyPro and I was doing my best at learning Marketing and barely starting to show results before that happened.

So then finally after months debating I decided to go with YTB, because it was an honest and ethical company and I will be Posting about my Pursuit and Results and random things. Sorry for making this Post so long. I tried to fit as little in as possible LOL.

First Post Old Blog

This is my story. I am a Young Mom. I work for a very strict, uptight, soul-crushing Call Center. I hate my Job, I think this is the worst Job I have ever had. On top of the fact that I hate my Job, I hate working for someone else. It drives me BONKERS! I have tried every Business under the sun and now I finally found The One. I will Blog about my Experiences working at the Hell Hole I work at and My Experiences building my Home Business. :) Stay tuned because this is about to get Interesting. I will give you more background details of my Job and My Business in later Posts.

Kanosis- Last Chance for Pre-Launch!

"First - the Software (COIL)


You are paying $22 per month for the use of a software called COIL. COIL is Java based and allows you to access your data from anywhere. Works with Windows, Linux etc... and works almost like an office network where you can sit at any office chair and access the info in your computer. Keep in mind, this can not be confused with gotomypc. com or other networks like it - you are not actually accessing your PC and leaving it open - you data is selected by you and is stored on a HUGE virtual hardrive (COIL).

What does this mean? This means you choose what is stored there - and of course, it is all still on your computer. Good thing is, your information is backed up on this web database, encrypted and secured. If YOU have a computer crash, your info is still safe. etc... You could be at your friends house and log onto Kanosis, access COIL and show your friend the pictures you have uploadded to COIL etc... Perfect for business as ther is no more emailing of writing data onto a CD to take on business trips, among a ton of other benefits.

In addition, you have a 'My Space', an email account, contact list, schedule centre - you name it! I would equate it with having a virtual Laptop!

How popular will this software be? I can see the majority of people, especially businesses, accessing Kanosis and using the COIL software within the next 5 years. I believe this because I am already using it and it has opened my eyes. In addition, Google agrees! In recent news articles, Google is also working on a similar software. However, Kanosis is recorded to be ahead of Google by two years. Thats Big! COIL will be known as the grandfather os this field in software.

The Opportunity for you

Your membership fee, $15, allows you to be a member of Kanosis and potentially earn income from a downline/Team.. Many top complanies use the MLM system and are successful! Amway, Herbalife, Primerica etc.. successful companies with a powerful MLM system in place. However, many people shy away from MLM because of the difficulty in gaining a downline. Perhaps they are not good at sales, don't like confronting others, or find it overwhelming that they need to constantly recruit people to their downline. It can be tiring if you don't have the right skills to make it in the MLM field. This is where Kanosis differs.

With Kanosis, only 2 referrals are needed. Your 2 referrals will need 2 referrals also etc... After you have your 2 referrals, your all set. In my opinion however, a good team leader, which is what you are, is active within their team, supporting, assisting and encouraging your team in their journey with Kanosis as well. If everyone is proactive in their team, your downline will grow upto 14 levels deep.

To recap, you are not responsible to promote and REFER a large sum of people - only 2. The product (COIL) is simple to sell! Who doesnt want to be able to access their data from anywhere in the world? In addition, after the launch date of May 1st, all members will have their own advertising link that will explain Kanosis in it's entirety, along with a short film.

The Pre-launch

Why are those involved in Kanosis promoting to join before the launch on May 1st? Joining before May 1st - allows you 5gigs of storage space on COIL - after that - it is reduced to 2gigs. 2 gigs will be what is available to the world when the launch is set and active. In addition, the mass promotion after launch will draw many to Kanosis. If you get in at the ground floor, your potetial for growth within your team will increase.


If you have ANY questions, please post here - any of us who are a part of Kanosis will answer your questions as best we can. Remember that ALL information can be found on the Kanosis web page. Inaddition, there is a short movie trailer and other areas of interest that can further explain and expand (in great detail) as to what I have posted here already. This seriously is not an opportunity you want to miss out on. You can reach the home page my clicking on my siggy.

Thanks for reading this far - and I hope you enjoy the opportunity ahead of you.

However, that the membership increases on May 01. That is important - you save $10 if you sign up today - and today IS the last day for that...and the 5gigs that is."

Written by another Kanosian at MommyJobs.com Thanks for the Great Explanation of this Wonderful new MLM Venture and Cool Internet Technology! :)

Making it Work: Your Home Business

My friend Kira was discussing in her Blog. How can she possibly get her Home Business off the ground.

Well, in my experience with Home Businesses and the things I have read about. I think the first step is to reach for support from your Upline and if there is no support there then seek advice from someone with experience in either your business or their own.

But you have to remember different businesses require different kind of Marketing. In Kira's business requires a lot of 'hands on' to build a team and customer base.

Another key to running a home business, is you have to have passion for it and believe in it as much as you believe yourself.

Also my other friend Andrea recommends a Good Follow-up and I think that is another important key to a Success Business. Because it is not like people do not want to do your business, it is just sometimes they get to busy or do not have the time right now but are still interested in your business.

Right now I guess you can say I am in between businesses but I don't think I have really found my niche and that is another thing you want to do when searching for a home business. I usually try to look for people who are like myself. Ambitious, Determined and Ready to Be Financially Independent. But I think passion is number one in any business and always look until you find something you can really love to do.

I am still looking but having fun in the process.

Ok Final Conclusion on My Business Decision

Well after thorough deep thinking I decided Jerky is not the business I want to really be in. Why? Well, the Jerky is delicious and natural but the Compensation Plan is low and I am playing with dealing with numbers and not enough time with people.

Although Jerky is not completely out of the picture. I will do an Ad for it here and there but that is it.

I need something I do not need to speak with people and I can just market the Product and make my money that way because of My Time Constraints.

I will reveal this venture later in the month. :)

I am TRULY EXCITED and I already have a Marketing Plan in place.
