I admit it has been a long time I took grade school math and some of the “new” math my son comes home with makes no sense at first, but the math we hear from the politicians is just mind-boggling!
First we are told we are in the middle of an economic credit meltdown. The banks are burdened with billions of dollars of sub-prime mortgages that are going into default…people are loosing their homes and if the politicians don’t bail out the banks the whole banking sector will collapse. After much debating and “calculating” a figure of
$700 billion, if injected into the banking system would avert this disaster. Well everyone was outraged that the taxpayers would have to bail out the banks for something they caused with their own greed. So the politicians added another $150 billion of “PORK” to get this package passed.
We now find out that there were no conditions attached to the bailout and the banks receiving this money are not using it as liquidity to make new loans available to qualified individuals or businesses. They are not even using this money to pay off or retire all those bad loans. Rather they are buying up assets or smaller distressed banks and of course paying the CEOs their hard earned bonuses.
So now the politicians in their wisdom are negotiating to buy half of the bad mortgages if the banks will renegotiate the credit terms. The cost…. $55 billion.
Now if my math is right, if $55 billion is half of all the bad loans then $110 billion is ALL of them. Which means that the politicians could have bought out all those bad loans for $110 billion as soon as this credit “crisis” started.
So my question is how in the world did they come up with $700 billion in the first place?
Is my math wrong or does one plus one really equal eleven!
This just in – it now seems that the Treasury department has changed its mind. It no longer wants to buy “distressed” assets from the banks but rather regular assets. This was not what was agreed to and passed in both Houses! Do these guys even know what they are doing?

Is the $700 Million Bail Out Benefitting You?
We need to talk about the elephant in the room. It's clear --- the facts are right there screaming at us - the country is in a recession and things are going to get tougher for the working class. Yes, business too is hurting but what is the first thing they do? They lay the workers off, cut positions, cut hours, etc, but they are still in business. Even those businesses that do close their doors, the owners usually walk away unscathed. We are in a global economic melt down, and the people responsible for this mess, are being rewarded!
The $700 billion bail out ... yes it's a "bail out" ... no matter what they call it can be summed up as follows:
1. You and I will pay the tab for the multi-
million dollar CEOs greed and mistakes
2. You and I will pay the tab for the $700
billion in increased taxes and higher
inflation.
And with the additional $150 billion of tax breaks thrown in, the politicians can now claim they only voted to hand over $700B of your money because they wanted to cut taxes ...trying to buy us with our own money!!
But who's getting all these tax breaks?
Surprise, surprise ...the businesses get all the tax breaks ... not the
9 to 5 crowd. The working man always gets shaft while the business man always comes out smelling like a rose.
So the lesson you need to learn from this catastrophe ...the system is NOT in favor of the working stiff ... it's geared towards the business owner. The only way for you to get ahead in this "system" is to become a business owner too!
If you're tired of always being on the short end of the stick... then take control of your life and enjoy the many tax breaks and other goodies the government doles out to the business owners.
Become a business owner too!
Owning your own business can be an exciting and rewarding adventure. There is a tremendous feeling of accomplishment when you land your first client or make that first sale. It is the kind of feeling that you just want to keep getting over and over again
What does it take to be successful in this field? Ambition, personal drive, motivation, desire and perseverance are the forerunners. Without these, all the skills and experience in the world will not enable you to succeed. However, combine those with your personal skills and experience, and you will have what it takes.
Are you a self-starter? You alone are the one who will make this business a success or failure. The amount of time and energy you invest will determine just how successful you are with your business. Are you motivated enough to make things happen? In the beginning stages, a business will require a tremendous amount of hard work and long hours, often without immediate results. You need to be willing to invest that time and await the results with confidence.
You must be self-motivated and enjoy working with others. You have to discipline yourself right from the beginning not to get sidetracked watching soaps and sleeping in. After you are established, your workload will not permit this anyway.
Remember that success takes time. Very few businesses are overnight successes. It takes work, rethinking of ideas and carrying out your plans. Think of success as a marathon, not a sprint. There are no limitations. The more you put into the business, the more you will get out of it. You control your paycheck.

How To Build A Six Figure Income Online
Everyone is looking for the secret wealth formula and a get rich fast scheme online these days. The truth is, building your online business and earning six figures a year from home can be accomplished, but not overnight. Let me remind you, I said "can" be accomplished. Before we go any further in our discussion, let's take the preconceived notion that every business is a scam out of your head and clarify a few things. 95% of businesses fail online due to two simple factors. Number one, the level of your advertising and internet marketing experience and number two, finding a business that offers real value to the end user. If you are able to master these two factors, you will find that anything is possible online.Becoming a marketing master – There are so many different techniques used today in internet marketing, it's easy to become caught in the next best thing that you lose focus. Right now there are two techniques that are proven to work and one of them is cutting edge that every internet marketer should be doing. The first technique is called, "article marketing" In article marketing, the internet marketer writes informative articles discussing or reviewing a particular product or service. Taking this article, then submitting it to article directories provides content for hungry web masters. In return, when a web master posts an article on their website, it provides a link back to your service or product. Writing an effect article can lead to highly targeted web traffic and potentially a substantial influx of sales.Your next question may be, "how do I know what to write about?" There are already plenty of pre-written articles on your subject matter. A simple search at www.ezinearticles.com will bring up articles related to your keyword search. Using a number of pre-written articles to re-write your own article is a good start. Craig Garcia, the co-founder of EDC Gold, says “As a member of EDC Gold, we have several pre-written articles in a number of niche markets available for use.” “All you have to do is copy and paste them into the 110 article submission hubs in our member’s area” In addition to article marketing, video marketing is a new and upcoming technique. Google recently bought out youtube, a place where individuals can go and record videos of themselves promoting their business. Recording a simple video introducing who you are and the service or products you have available builds credibility and marks you as an authority in your niche market. Secondly, the Google search engine loves youtube. Posting a video on youtube in the proper categories using the proper keywords in your heading can earn you top positions in the Google search engine.Both techniques are proven to work and have been working for many internet marketers. Obviously the more you do for each technique stated above will drive more traffic to your business and ultimately put you in a profit building position.

Multiple Streams of Income OR Multiple Ways To Rip You Off?
Multiple streams of income have been around for years. It is the technique that many successful internet marketers have used for years. The problem is that many internet marketers have twisted this around to favor them ripping you off and justifying it to themselves so they can sleep at night. Let me explain.
Many multiple income stream marketers market products. Weather it be a new software program, affiliate program or training tool. Meaning, if they knew how to produce incomes selling one product, why not duplicate those efforts and sell many products.
Now a days, we have so many fools running wild out there who are taking this concept of multiple income streams to multiple ways to rip you off. I call them program jumpers. On the surface, they seem like experts. They will tell you everything you want to hear. You might even want to work with these people as they are so smooth in their approach to rip you off. Heck, you might even end up liking them. They might even back up their story by holding training calls, giving away free marketing tools such as lead capture pages and auto responder messages. They may call themselves trainers or master affiliates or master distributors. Be Careful out there and use common sense.
Do you know who Jeff Foxworthly is? He is comedian famous for the joke…"You know you’re a redneck, if….." He also hosts the very popular TV show called "Are you smarter than a 5th grader". Ok, I call this test the Jeff Foxworthy test and it goes like this.

- You know you’re a program jumper and rip off artist if…..
- If they have joined and promoted 3, 4 or more internet programs in one year.
- If they tell you things like, Get in early, It’s brand new or "My Favorite Rip off Line" It’s in pre launch and is going to be the biggest thing since sliced bread.
- They tell you, I am so big on the internet, that companies look for me to help them launch their company.
- If they have a portfolio of more than 3-4 programs for you to choose from.
- If some of those programs are very similar.
- If they tell you things like I am only passing on the information, because if it is hot and new, I am going to be the first to hear about and help get the word out.
These are classic lines these rip off artists use, so be careful out there and use common sense. There is a company out there that has multiple streams of income built into one company. They have a stable track record of solid growth and is run by two of the most respected internet marketers on the net, who mastered multiple streams of income. I am not here to try to sell you on something, but I do wish to let you know about EDC Gold / EDC Diamond and I invite you to use your common sense and check them out knowing what you know now.

EDC Diamond - A Cut Above
EDC has just rocked the online business again. They have totally overhauled their program and managed to put together the best of direct sales and MLM in a new program. That along with their new compensation plan will have the competition trying to catch up for some time to come!In the ever increasing competitive area of network marketing, standing out from the crowd is becoming increasingly difficult. Most online businesses on the internet today are very similar. But one company has always strived to stand out from the crowd and give more to its members and customers. That’s why in 2007 they were voted the top online business.
Not because they had the best compensation plan or the best products but also because they had the best training for their members. The co-founders of EDC and EDC Gold, Michael Corcoran and Greg Garcia, were determined to make all their members experts in their business. There are training classes on how to run your business on an almost daily basis.
But, as with all successful business models, others tend to copy you. So in the past year or so there have been many new companies created on the EDC model. This has meant increased competition for all the existing EDC members and people jumping from program to program. This did not sit well with the owners. They decided to put their combined expertise and the vast company resources to work and create a new program that no one out there can touch.
EDC DIAMOND.
They also announced a total overhaul in the compensation plans of the popular EDC and EDC Gold.
Now all three programs combine the best of direct sales and M-L-M together in one package. The compensation plans now offer a whole new level and provides a way to earn multiple income streams. This will enable members to create a huge income long after they stop working, enabling them to retire more comfortably. Members now have three powerful income businesses (EDC, EDC-GOLD & EDC-DIAMOND). All three have different compensation plans and all 3 have residual income built-in that will appeal to everyone.
The most interesting change in the compensation pals=ns though is the creation of a “team concept”. A member will make $1500 for all direct DIAMOND sales plus $50 residual income for as long as his personal sales stay aboard. Every person who that member sponsors, pays the original member $500 on all their personal sales forever! This creates a "TEAM" concept and those new members one brings in never become competitors. With EDC-GOLD you earn $997 for each personal sale plus $25 residual income for as long as your personal sales stay aboard. Plus, you receive $397 sales to infinity. For those getting "qualified" with EDC-GOLD, you receive $600 for each qualifying sale (you need 2 to be fully qualified). These $600 payments put you into profit with just 2 sales! EDC is a direct sales program that pays you $397 for each sale plus, you receive $15 residual for each person you bring in for as long as your personal sales stay aboard. And a new twist – no matter which level a new member joins he has the ability to earn his way up to the top level just by making sales.
In my opinion, Michael Corcoran and Greg Garcia have done it again. They have improved on the original concept for the better.
Ø The company has the best compensation plan out there.
Ø The best software products for their members to use and sell. Software programs that help one become an Internet Marketing Pro. To date they have spent $13,762.00 assembling this massive software suite containing more than 2500 individual products with master resell rights. They continue to add even more products (at no further cost whatsoever) so their members get the latest releases... something no competitor does.
Ø Their members receive top notch websites and a marketing system to promote their business An advertising Co-Op pool for Google Ad Words campaign that generate a ton of leads for the members. The owners personally run these ad campaigns for the members!
Ø Personal Training Classes held 5 days a week with the top pros. You won't find this with any one else. Over 100 hours have been recorded and are placed in the member’s back office.
Ø LIVE Support Monday - Friday. Their support staff is fully trained and will assist you with anything you need help with. The others have email support ONLY... good luck with that!
Ø And most important, the owners (Craig & Mike) take your phone calls Monday - Thursday. They consult with you as well as help you close your prospects. Another benefit no one else is willing to do.
I can hardly wait to see what these guys will come up with next!

CHOOSING A HOME BASED BUSINESS
Beware of the Fluff. They seem like great companies, they have a good sales pitch and their compensation plan looks good too. They have big corporate offices and have been around for years. Isn’t that good? Any company out there that sells products like lotions, potions, pills, miracle juices or miracle gas saving products usually doesn’t work for the average person for many reasons.
Those companies usually make most of their money from you, the distributor, not from selling the products. They have you on auto ship, so you are their income.
They only pay about 2% to 15% so many levels deep. They will tell you that when you fill the matrix, you won’t have to do anything and you’ll be making 20 to 40k a month. The truth is, there are so many loop holes to their compensation plans that no body ever reaches those levels. You either will have too many people on your left, but not enough on your right side to make the higher level payouts. They tell you that you need more personal volume and your group volume is fine or vice versa, or my favorite, you had fallout this month, so you no longer qualify for that car bonus we promised you.
They make you hold home parties to push your crap on your friends. Listen to me…..If I wanted weight loss, I’d go to GNC. If I wanted Lotions, I’d go to CVS, Save on, Nordstrom or Bullocks. If I wanted to put additives in my gas tank, I’d go to Kragen, Chief or Pep Boys and buy a product from STP or Penzoil. You get what I mean….?
They are a copy cat company of the original company. How many companies out there are selling a juice that is based from the Acai Berry, Goji berry or the Mangosteen fruit? How many of those promise to cure cancer? What a joke? Is our society that ignorant that if something actually cured cancer, wouldn’t we want to check it out? How many travel companies are there now? How many fuel additives are there now? How many of those have been shut down? How many make up, skin lotions and vitamin companies are there out there?
It just seems like there is so many junk companies on the internet, how do you what is good and what is not? Some of these companies above actually have a good product, but I would never go in business with them.
So, how do I choose a business that I can profit from and that I can be proud to represent?
When I evaluate a company, I look for these key points. Keep in mind, when I join a company, my #1 goal is to make money and to do it legitimately. I do not want to hurt anyone or rip anyone off. This is what I’ve learned and these guidelines will help you determine what company is right for you.
If you are not making at least 75% of the upfront commission when you make a sale, forget it. This means that you are doing all the work and the company and/or the person above you is making all the money.
If you have to have 1000, 10,000 or 20,000 people in your organization before you make any real money. DO NOT Join. Most people will NEVER get there.
If they teach you to hold home parties and invite all your friends. Run away fast.
If they have a sales pitch 2-3 times a day and only 2-3 training classes per week. This means that the company is more interested in selling you than training you.
If you can’t break even or get into profit with 3 sales, forget it.
If you can’t speak with the owners or the corporate office via phone or webinar, Forget it. I like to know who I am doing business with before I will do business with them.
If it is a start up or in pre launch, forget it. The chances of these companies becoming the next Amway is about as good as winning the lottery. At least with the lottery, you have a chance to win once or twice a week. You might as well go to Vegas and blow your money on a good time. At least you’ll have some great memories, see a great show and have a great meal.
These are not all the rules for success on the internet, but this is a great guideline to follow when evaluating an internet company.
