Do We REALLY Want Freedom?

December 2, 2014:

I googled "freedom" in the Images of Google and wanted to share this..

I'm just gonna ramble a lil' bit...

I'm a hiring manager at my current 9 to 5. I hire people to do a job that pays $9/hour plus commission. I see ALL types of people applying for the job and it blows me away.

I met 3 people who were my elders, so to speak, looking for work today. A true sign of the times. What blew me away about them were they were all "overqualified", as far as I was concerned. I try to be practical and reasonable when making this call. I, of course, would NEVER tell a person this because it can be misconstrued.

Anyway, on this day, these people acted as a wake up call ( they, of course, didn't know this):

1.      First was a man who sold over One Million dollars in real estate. He told me he was “a hippie” who had fruit trees and acres of land at the moment. He loved life, traveled all over the world, seen it all…When asked why he wanted to do join OUR team, he told me I’m looking for work.\
2.    Second was a woman who has owned two car lots. She said she sold them before the “crash” in recent years. She has a business that more than pays her bills and a career teaching online at the hours she chooses. She uses the money from her business and the teaching to put money in her 401(K)!! When asked why SHE wanted to do join OUR team, she told me I’m looking for work, so that I can have something to do (she does the “school thing” in the evenings).
3. Lastly, I met a man who told me about a few CEOs and CFOs of major corporations that he knew. I won’t name them, of course, but they were some BIG named companies, at least locally. When ideas, complaints or anything of value was put on their desk, he had the same info given to him at his desk. According to him, he handled all their complaints. He was a Research Analyst. He traveled the world, made 6 figures, blah, blah, blah (this is how it sounded to me at the time because he was my 6^th interview of the day and everyone will, of course, tell you the GREAT things about themselves). I didn't think he was lying, but at this point I was listening halfway… When asked why HE wanted to do join OUR team, he told me life is more precious than money. Family is better than money. He’s building up his family through events, trips, etc. because people are becoming disenfranchised.

Now to my point. If all three of these people are telling me the truth, why is it that they are NOT taking advantage of the freedoms that they have? Why do they feel they MUST work?

If I had a few thousand on hand, just a FEW thousand on hand, I’d solidify my plans of Financial Freedom with investments (like Person #2), live (like Person #1) and have a thought process (like person #3)…why don’t THEY, though?

This is something that boggled my mind....and has for years when I really think about it.

If YOU had, say, One Million dollars…and I want you to REALLY think about this…what WOULD YOU spend it on? I’ll tell you now, that would ULTIMATELY determine what your mindset is.

Selling Through Amazon: What Should I Sell?

Welcome Folks!

So, as promised, I'm gonna talk a little bit about Amazon Selling. I've had an Amazon store for quite some time now, but haven't done a thing with it.

Just research.

• I've bought items for the store and never put them in
• I've read blogs and articles about it
• I've considered buying books to learn more 
• I've watched YouTube videos about the subject :

Some "experts" say groceries are good to make money on Amazon.I went on that notion...until this video from Picking Profits:

 

Okay...

Then I wanted to make sure I got both sides of the coin.I looked up the other side and found Dollar Moves:

This got me PUMPED!!

I went a step further and looked into items to start with.That's when I bumped into Suzanne Wells.
Apparently, she also deals with eBay selling, which I've already done. I'm into Amazon, now, though.

She had this to say :

Hmm...sounds a little doable. I wouldn't sell the EXACT same products, I'm sure many people saw this video and did just that.

Sorry for all the videos.

I figured you'd want to know what I've been dealing with, though. I , personally, get emails for the Amazon Selling Machine, all the time. Although it seems to be touted as a good program, I'm looking at ways to get information without joining some type of club/membership.This is how I'm doing it. Looking up videos that give some basics and seeing how it works.I'll come up with my own program. Not to put anyone down.

This is just how I wanna do it.

This is part of the retail arm of the Inkland Empire being built. Like I said, I've done eBay before and it was okay. Nothing bad to say about them.I'm seeing, though, that Amazon is the way to go, OVER eBay, at the moment. 

I WANT IN!

On to other news..

I thank you..

I wanna take this time to thank you all for your support. At the time of this writing, I see my views increasing ( based on the Blogger platform stats).I see:

• Starting Anew... 37 views
• Flipping My Cash ... 20 views
• FMC ; Update ... 79 views

I feel good about this because this is ONLY word of Mouth. No ads.No paid advertising of any kind. I will be doing that, of course, because I'd like MORE views, but THIS is GREAT!

Multilevel Marketing ( MLM)

I'm a reader of the Rich Dad, Poor Dad series of books written by Robert Kiyosagi. One thing that struck me about his thoughts/ ways to make money was that he endorses MLMs. 

You know what those are.

Picture this ( It's happen to me a lot). Your with family and/ or friends at a gathering and a loved one asks you about your life. They ask you are you satisfied with where you are in life.Financially. They tell you in their most excited way that they have this business that they are part of and you should be involved. Once you show interest, they invite you to a meeting in the middle of the week, usually, that you can learn about this opportunity. They say it will be fun/interesting.

You go.

You see people of all types at the "meeting'. It turns out to be some seminar about ways to make money with a program they are behind.They give you stats and different philosophies of making money with the program. They show you the money part FIRST. Then they show you the cost of the program LAST.

"You remember.You 'member" ~ George Lopez

Anyway, I'm a follower of John Chow and I got an email of his talking about a program that makes money. now, the difference between him and people I know is that HE has made money. You can see it. It may be fake, but I doubt it. i figure he may be on to something.

The reason, I'm bringing this up is because I'm in its trial period. I'm looking at adding it to the Empire. I'll expose it another time, maybe.

You might be saying, " Damn, why doesn't he stick to one thing at a time?" 

I TRULY don't believe that that HAS to be the way to do things. That CAN'T be true for hustlers. I tend to think of myself as a Hustler. One who is documenting HOW he hustles for other hustlers ( i.e. this blog).

With that being said, another motivating hustler to me is Dame Dash. He calls this the " Octupus model".

I'll let him explain:

See? I believe in the tactics of successful people. He even mentioned Russell Simmons following this tactic in his own way.

I think I'll end it there. a lot of material to soak in...

I'll see you next week!

YoHooooo!
