    "The best time to plant a tree is 40 years ago, or today." - unknownOk, if you are like me you have seen all the great stories of regular people who make $10,000 to $50,000 per month on almost every internet marketing site. I have no doubt that many are true. The point of the stories for the aspiring marketer is not to create a celebrit

    Land Trust- The Best Entity for Holding Investment Real Estate?
    Many small real estate owners (1-4 unit properties) are confused about the best entity to hold their real estate, with potentially disastrous consequences.In fact, the majority of small property owners still own their properties in their personal names.Perhaps they read a book or take a course on asset protection. They become awa
    I can pick them out as easily as red onions from a garden salad. I’m speaking about people who repeat talking points dished out to them by ideologue insurgents. All you have to do is listen to callers on C-SPAN for an hour and you will hear them regurgitate every chunk, every morsel, every scrap of garbage fed to them the day before by “news talk radio”.

    Remember when we all joined hands to laugh at the “truth” provided by Baghdad Bob as he spoke from the rooftop of the Iraqi Communication Center, while hiding adjacent bombed-out buildings with curtains as he stood defiantly at the edge, arms flailing at some obscure smokeless area, proclaiming victory was near. He became a media phenom in those early patriotic days of the Iraq war. Yup, he kept us perpetually amused with his blind eye and forked tongue.

    Yet while we chuckle at folks like Baghdad Bob and his faithful, we clamor into our own lines on a cliff, ready to jump when given the “truth” by Hannity or Franken, Limbaugh or Rhodes, Mehlman or Dean, Fox News or Air America, Frist or Kennedy, ad nausea or et cetera.

    The Profitable World of Self Publishing
    Five years ago I was a professional speaker desperately in need of my own book. After each presentation members of my audience would approach me and ask if had a book or a tape for sale. The need was obvious. The market existed. All I needed to do was write a book and bring it to my audiences. This is how my first book was born.I wrote

    Network Marketers - Do They Stand A Chance?
    Network marketing companies are popping up all over the place. Most of which are not able to sustain themselves for long-term success. There’s a large disproportion in the number of newly launched companies and the number of people joining these companies.There are still many “old fashioned” network marketing companies out there. If you

The others do it for money, celebrity, and power.

    Regardless of who releases talking points or who pushes them out to the public domain, they are propaganda pure and simple—partial facts, misleading spin, clever word-smithing, out-of-context sound bites—all for the purpose of pandering to some agenda. And we are an eager audience, soaking up the lackey leakage like an extra absorbent Depends pad.

    In this day of hundreds of cable channels, thousands of magazines, tens of thousands of blogs, millions of websites, we can search and find the “news” we want to hear and how we want to hear it. The media source cherry picks the information and we cherry pick the media source. It’s easy to do, takes no thought, and forever keeps us polarized as we isolate ourselves in information silos.

    Frankly, the days of honest debate, serious discussion, hard problem solving, and above all, listening, thinking and negotiating are sadly numbered.
