I.O.U.S.A. trailer....Are We In Trouble? Does Anyone Care?

Are we quietly spending our way into a hole?

A hole so deep we can not see the way out?

Does any body care that we may loose control of our own destiny?

We all have a responsibility as United States citizens to educate ourselves on this issue. This is a non-partisan issue that needs to be addressed. It's time we take control of our spending. I for one will be in line to see the movie that helps shed some light on this issue. Here is the trailer for I.O.U.S.A. <> Make up your own mind!

Supercharge Your Business to Millions!

I thought this was great information on how to get your business to the "Big Time". You have to look at things in a new way, you have to be different. "You Have To Stand Up Before You Can Stand Out"Gary Vaynerchuk gives his tips for success and explains how to supercharge your business. See how Laurie Feltheimer and Scott-Vincent Borba executed these ideas in reality.

Thanks to Deborah Micek(CoachDeb)on twitter for the link to this great info.

Like trying to sell ice cubes to an Eskimo

I would like to talk about something that I have been thinking about for over a week now. I need to back up and fill you in on what has been happening in my life. I recently became a member of a brand new concept on the Internet for free advertising.

It is an awesome program where you advertise for free and you can get paid rebates back to your account. They use a rotator to advertise all the URL’s of the members, and then you surf daily on the rotator to become eligible for the rebates.

Now here is where I think some members are wasting there time. Some of the members are advertising to join the very rotator system that they are already a member of. Any people who are using the rotator to advertise are already members. How else would they know it was even there? Now this is like trying to sell ice to an Eskimo. They are all aware of the concept.

I think they would have more success with the rotator system advertising something other than the rotator. If only to get some new sites up with potential to make money. When I do my daily surf sessions, about 33% of the sites I see are for the same thing. And that same thing is the very rotator that we are all using. Am I the only one who thinks this is counter productive? I welcome your comments.

Computers are now an essential part of our daily lives rather than an
addition to the tasks we perform each day. Simply checking an

computer out of the back office and into the main living area of the home.
They are now used for researching information, watching videos and sometimes
gathering advice on the many websites available through the
world-wide web. GOOGLE has produced the greatest impression and has
enabled web users to connect, seek, and ultimately locate each
other.

This Is My VM Team Family.

Flowers by the Wayside.

It’s time for you to meet my soul mate and true friend Kate Fly. Kate has always been a singer at heart; and a great one at that. She is the most kind and loving person that I know. Not too long ago Kate had a chance to show her kind heart and donated her wonderful talent and time for St Jude Children’s Hospital. She opened up the charity show by herself that night, something she has not done for a long time. As always, she was fabulous. One thing I have said many times is “Kate can sing any style of music, and takes control of any song she sings.” I am giving you all a sample of her talents here today in this post. Just so happens the song I’ve picked out to show case is one that I wrote the words to! I came home from our first “rendezvous” together and wrote the song the next day. Kate liked the lyrics and wanted to put them to music. One of the bands she is in (The OK Sisters Band) were cutting their first CD at that time and the song Flowers By The Wayside was published in that CD. The name of the CD is “Edge of a Rock” which is currently out of print. I wish I could say “and the rest is history”, but she is not famous yet and neither am I. Now I am going to try and change that fact starting today. This is where I need your help. Check out this video, and please leave a comment. I am sure Kate would love to hear what you have to say. If you like what you hear then you can go to YouTube and watch the rest of the show. Please give the video a star rating, as well as the other videos. I will be posting more of the show over the next few weeks, until I get them all posted. You can be a part of kick starting her national début on the internet. By the way, Kate is also a member of the band Treo. Both bands have Cd’s out, so give them a listen.

Which is better....Perception or Reality?

The answer to this question is easy right? Reality has to be better. What is real is real, and what is perceived might not be real. Now wait just a minute. Don't get ahead of me. It used to be the person or company that had the best products or the best pricing made the most money.

Currently there seems to be a shift in the way people are thinking. With the growing popularity of the Internet, perception is gaining over reality. When you want information today, do you go to the newspaper, or to the yellow pages? I don't. When I want to find out something about a person or company, or product I go to the Internet. To be more specific, I go to Google and search for it. When I get the search results, I look at the top three or four listings. The listings on the first page of Google are perceived to be the best.

How many of you ever get past the first page on a Google search? I am willing to bet not very many. Am I right? That's what I thought. Nobody goes to page Forty Five and clicks on those listings. Why? Because listings on page one are perceived to be the best!

If you want to make the BIG money today, you have to be on that first page. Does that make sense to you?

So how do you get on page one? Good question. You can spend a lot of time with SEO, and tons of money on Pay Per Click. For some, this is just too much work. Takes too much time, and or money. I can relate to all of that.

There is however a great way to get yourself on that first page. Actually I know of a way to get your listing on the very TOP of page one! Yes that's what i said. And it's only $9.95 a month! If you would like more information on this, just go to Google search and put in my name(Kurt Mitchell). I will be the Kurt Mitchell on the very top of the first page. Click on my listing and read my bio. At the bottom of my bio are instructions on how to sign up for this fabulous service.

So to answer the question about perception or reality being the best. Perception Wins.
