Like to Lose Some Weight?

I have purchased a new domain name and will be filling it with content about the ideal healthy diet that will help you lose weight -- if you want to -- and how to save money at the same time.

It amazes me that so many people fail at dieting and can't figure out why. I think I know. I'll be discussing this and other unique insights I've gained over fifty years of studying how to avoid getting pudgy and old-looking like so many of my friends have. I still wear the same size pants I wore in high school, so I must be doing something right. (And please don't assume that I am just genetically skinny. It has taken a lot of exercise and weightlifting to stay thin, but it's worth it.)

Come visit my new site in a few days when I have the home page up: www.HealthyPlanetDiet.com

Leave a comment here if there is a question you'd like me to answer on the new site.

Looking for Opportunity in this Depression?

I've read some sad stories lately about retirees competing with teenagers for entry-level jobs. There is one part of our economy that is growing and that is Network Marketing.

Now, don't run off - it's true. Every recession brings more growth in network marketing companies because people who would never look at them otherwise are HUNGRY for an opportunity to create fallback plan. A Plan B, because their Retirement Plan "A" isn't working anymore.

The problem with MLM/network marketing is that it has been portrayed as something everyone can do - - and once the average person finds out there are sales involved, they want no part of it. It's not for everyone, it's for people who understand business and sales.

If you are a professional salesperson, who is about to be laid off, then take a look at a FREE ebooks I'm offering visitors on my other blog: http://mlm4freedom.blogspot.com/

I have met and worked with some of the big names of MLM. I can tell you the money and lifestyle are real. They have lot of fun and make it all look like fun.

Once you clear away the myths that have been spread about MLM -- and you pick a good company to represent -- a sales pro can earn a very handsome retirement income when combining the MLM compensation plan with using the Internet to attract and screen the propsects you want for your business.

If you need an opportunity -- it's there. Go download that short book that will clear up why some many people have a bad impression of network marketing and MLM. It is to the right of this post, called "The 7 Great Lies of Network Marketing."

Just click on the big red book and follow the download instructions.

It really opened my eyes to the possibilities in MLM when you learn how to do it the right way.

See what you think and leave me a comment. Thanks!

Retirees Forced To Return To Work

There is a new Overlooked Retirement Danger catching a growing number of Americans who thought they were ready for retirement: massive declines in asset values.

I recently read a sad article in the Wall Street Journal (2/17/09) about the many American retirees, some in their 70s, who are looking for work in this deepening Depression.

The article recounted the difficulties that older workers are having finding legitimate work at home positions that are widely touted on the 'Net: getting paid for filling out surveys, various online investment scams, and online marketing information about getting rich in marketing online marketing information (how imaginative!).

There is so much garbage floating around on the 'Net and the average retiree seems to have difficulty telling what's legit from what is not.

Beyond technical legitimacy, there should be consideration of what types of business will do well in this economic environment of reduced consumer spending. The typical former employee often doesn't know where to look and how to evaluate these criteria for business success.

When I worked with the U.S. Department of Commerce/Rural Development Administration to find and nurture new employment opportunities in rural Oregon communities hit by mill closures in the 1990s, I came to appreciate network marketing as one of the best self-employment opportunities for the average person.

Network marketing Is a legitimate business format, but all networking companies are not equal in their profit potential in today's economy.

Let me just offer some filters I use when considering the viability of any new home business opportunity:

Is the company solid, well-capitalized, profitable, and led by experienced businesspeople?

Has it been in business more than five years?

Are similar products already being bought and included in most Americans' budgets?

Are the products necessary or could they be dispensed with if money gets tighter?

Are the products better than store-bought alternatives at a competitive price?

Is it fairly easy to earn commissions for recommending the products and/or opportunity to others?

Network marketing and direct sales still carries a stigma for many people. Much of this has come from the way that distributors have been taught to promote their businesses - and this is due for revision. The ebook I am giving those who would like to learn more about Network Marketing will show how to make a success out of this ideal recession-busting business.

Online MLM = Retirement Income

What chance do you think we Americans have of seeing our 401Ks, savings accounts, and home equity return to a level where we can comfortably retire?

When do you think we will see the economy get "back to normal"?

Are you expecting President Obama to "fix" Healthcare and make it free for all?

I think we are kidding ourselves if we don't start our own "Plan B" to replenish our own retirement savings.

The Plan B that offers the most promise is online MLM or Network Marketing. No other business format has the Leverage and the Power to grow our savings as much as we need them to grow.

I came to this conclusion about 18 years ago when I was working for the U.S. Dept. of Commerce in the Rural Development field. MLM seemed like the perfect rural home business in the communities I was working, but no-one was able to make it work in a big way.

A New way to find people who WANT to work with you on your MLM business has turned up on the Internet (of course!).

I will be offering a FREE e-book explaining this revolutionary change in MLM/network marketing that can make it work for the average person.

No more talking to people who aren't interested.
No more cold-calling ice-cold "leads".
Only working with the people who want what you have - and only if they fit your standards.

And the best part: You will earn money from prospecting, not pay it out!

As we're all waiting for the smoke to clear, so we can see the new direction of our country, I will only surmise that those of us who still have a solid income above $150,000/year will be facing more taxes in the near future. Tax the more productive elements of our society and redistribute some of the money to those who were unwise in managing their finances: this seems to be the plan of the Obama administration, one that will be copied on the state and local level.

It's a good time to start thinking about how to protect your earnings from higher taxes, if you even have sufficient earnings to worry about. One way to do this is to start looking for another country to emigrate to, where taxes are not so oppressive.

Higher taxes are certainly a danger to your retirement plans, so you need to take countermeasures.

Please Visit My New Main Blog

I have decided my main focus for the next few years will be personal and community Food Security. To that end, I invite you - if you're interested - to visit my new blog entitled "Common Wealth Farm" at http://commonwealthfarm.blogspot.com

Now, the Election campaign is finally over. Saint Obama has won, proving that Americans in general don't want the truth about their political/economic affairs, so I have decided to stop talking about our immoral, murderous, and unwise foreign policies and to focus squarely on what can be done to maintain a comfortable standard of living for myself and those who see the danger of our situation.

When it becomes evident that all the Bailout monies are being wasted and unemployment keeps going up, Common Wealth Farm is a concept I offer for those who want honest work and a roof over their heads. Our American economy has been based on foolish premises that most of us can be consumers of a variety of products shipped into this country, without producing an equivalent value to trade the producer countries. With increases in oil prices and/or lack of credit to pay for shipments of vital goods, Americans may soon find many necessary items no longer in stock on supermarket shelves. Whoops!

We need to become locally self-sufficient in food and energy. This can be done, but it requires work and preparation now. Common Wealth Farm is just a name for an old way to do this. It may solve the problems of unemployment, homelessness, and food security for a lot of Americans, when they are ready for it.

By the way: Food that you grow for your family is equivalent to earnings you won't have to pay taxes on. Tax-free income!

If this seems like excessive worry, here's a little tidbit I found in the news yesterday: Central California will be limiting water supplies for cities and farms (where much of America's food is grown) to 15% of their requested ammount in 2009. Unless they have a very unusually wet winter, there may be a lot less produce coming out of California farms next year. It is not worth planting most crops if you won't have the necessary water to grow them. Think about that!

Here in Oregon, we have no shortage of water. In fact, it's raining steadily now, right on schedule!

Major Retirement Danger: Running Out of Money

Running out of money, when you're too old to work anymore is a major bummer! Another related problem, often the reason we run out of money, is that our health begins failing and doctors extract what remains of our money. It's a sad situation.

Even though I've taken pretty good care of my health over the years, I still have my aches and pains and have begun to feel less and less like my younger self. Recently, though, I've discovered a product that makes me feel young and sharp and more energetic on a daily basis, without any negative side-effects. I feel about 15 years younger when I drink this delicious beverage.

It's an energy drink called A.C.T. (Advanced Cellular Therapy) and it's totally unlike the crazy concoctions the kids are drinking now. It is all natural, has very little sugars, and has vitamins and herbs that help energize your cells for 5-6 hours at a time. I like it much better than coffee or tea, which make me too nervous!

Some folks who try it are calling A.C.T. "liquid Viagra" and I can see what they mean. Like I said, it makes me FEEL YOUNG.

Best of all, A.C.T. is the "Energy Drink That Pays." The company doesn't spend big bucks on fancy advertising. It doesn't hire celebrities like Lance Armstrong to recommend their product. It offers you and me the opportunity to tell our friends about this exciting new product and receive commissions for the products we help them sell.

The company provides training through the 'Net and a great human support network. It's easy to like the beauty and simplicity of this lucrative opportunity. And you are doing people a favor by sharing this great discovery!

My favorite way to market this fantastic product is through the Internet. The company has laid out a step-by-step system, with a low initial investment and business overhead that makes it possible for the average hardworking person to create a million dollar business to help them stay FAR AHEAD of inflation and galloping MEDICAL EXPENSES!

If you're interested in feeling younger and making more money, I invite you to visit my Web site to learn more about DrinkACT: http://drinkactweb.com/healthywealth

By the way, if you travel overseas and have business connections there, A.C.T. can be shipped to 34 countries currently. The falling value of our dollar makes A.C.T. even more of a bargain for folks in Europe, Asia, and some South American countries. And don't forget the tax advantages to having a home-based business!

If you'd like to try A.C.T., or would like to learn more about the perfect retirement business, drop by my Web site: http://drinkactweb.com/healthywealth !
