Do Wisconsin Protesters Even Know Why They Are Protesting?

Here is a pretty interesting video. If I was protesting for a cause, any cause, I would actually know why I was protesting. Maybe it’s just me but I wouldn’t want someone with a video camera to ask me a question that I couldn’t answer. It kind of makes one look stupid.

But it doesn’t seem like these guys cared how moronic they looked to the general public. By the way, if you want to know what kind of people we’re talking about…check out this lovely sign. Classy.

Story continues below...

Are You Running a Business Or Just Trying To Make Some Money?

Seriously…how would you answer that question? There is a big difference between trying to make money online and running a business online.

The make money online mantra has unfortunately become synonymous with “get rich quick.”  That’s NOT building a business. That’s trying to make a few bucks. Maybe you’ll have some success but it’s more likely that you’ll struggle, get frustrated, give up and fail. Obviously, that’s not running a business.

We scheduled a webinar on Monday (and if you haven’t signed up, you’re invited so please register) and in the registration process there are a couple of questions that we have asked the attendees to answer.

Overwhelmingly the number one impediment people say they have from operating a successful online business is “lack of time”.

This surprised me. Actually I was kind of blown away. You see, I would have thought that time was the least of the issues to be remedied. Of course you think of technological issues or money impediments or even simple lack of expertise and knowledge, but time? No way I would have called that one.

Here’s why I would have never guessed that. But, I was remiss. I should have.

Americans are working more hours than any time since the 1920s. 63% of Americans log more than 40 hours per week at the office, and 40% log more than 50 hours per week.

What if you could take back your life and work 50% less hours than you do now? What if you never “worked” again?

Owning a business will afford you the opportunity to do just that. Now add into that mix the ability to run your business from anywhere in the world with a global marketplace. Sound far-fetched.

Here’s a screenshot from a recent order we received from our Train Horns e-commerce site. While you may be fixated on the amount of the order (and yes…that’s sure nice), look at the time of the order and where it came from.

We received a $2,000 order for a product on our website while we were sleeping. This happens all of the time. yes, it took some work initially developing the site and getting it ranked, and we had to find a supplier who would handle fulfillment and yes we had to open a merchant account to accept online credit card orders, but once we invested that time and money into the business, it now runs completely on autopilot and it’s open for business 24/7.

Still think that you don’t have the time for this business? Think you might want to make the time and invest in actually running a business that dumps money into your bank account while you’re busy snuggling up with the cool side of the pillow?

To me, the decision was a no-brainer but I understand there are a lot of people who have been burned and told this and told that and feel like they are just spinning their wheels.

Well, I can’t speak for what you’ve been through. All I can tell you is what’s available for you. It’s up to you to choose what you’re going to be spending your time on.

Join us on the webinar on Monday and find out the difference between running a business and just trying to make some money.

Thank you for your interest in seeing the next video in the Primary Principles Video Series. In the next video we talk about the number one reason that most people fail to make any real money online.

Whatever market that you are in, go ahead and Google the keyword that you want to rank for. When the results return, go ahead and check out who are ranked in the top 10 results and compare there ranking factors to your site.

How long have they had a registered domain? how many pages of content do they have? How many backlinks do they have? What does their title tag look like? Does their domain have the keyword in it?

Once you have this information it’s time to roll up your sleeves and see if you can over take them. That’s where the natural part comes in.

Man Boobs Treatment

Commission Blueprint 2.0

Colon Cleanser

Ultra Cleanse

A recent Gallup Poll, the results of which were reported in USA Today, said that 84% of Americans aged 18-50 years old, worry about money.

In fact they just aren’t worrying about money, they are struggling to make ends meet and many are consumed in overwhelming debt.

Yet when posed with the question as to what were they going to do about their situation, less than 20% had a viable answer for improving their economic well being.

It seems that many Americans bemoan their financial position in life, but have no real plan or blueprint for turning things around.

Hopefully you’re not a part of the above referenced 84%, but the statistics say that you probably are. So what’s you’re plan? There’s only 14 weeks or so until the Holiday season. What kind of Christmas are you looking forward to?

Do you know how to get yourself in position where money isn’t a worry? Well, don’t think too hard and definitely don’t worry anymore. Here’s a f.ree report you can download to get you thinking how life can be if you take action.

When you’re done reading the report make sure you go here as soon as possible and take action TODAY and see what true Capitalism affords you.

Turn things around today! Change is a click away.
