Should we expect more in a leap year

What is a leap year?

A leap year is a year with one extra day inserted into February, the leap year is 366 days with 29 days in February as opposed to the normal 28 days. (There are a few past exceptions to this)

A leap year is a year with one extra day inserted into February; the leap year is 366 days with 29 days in February as opposed to the normal 28 days. (There are a few past exceptions to this)

A leap year is special, it only happens every 4 years and there are certain years in that time period where a leap year will not happen. With this being a leap year should you expect more, it is very rare, try to think of a leap year like a rare diamond, a rare Van Gogh painting, what is there value. Leap years are priceless in my eyes it is a very rare commodity, but the good thing about it, would be that we all have the ability to experience February 29^th. The big difference I would ask you to think about what you are going to do with it, remember it is a rare commodity and we all have the chance to benefit from it. I can't tell you home many times I have heard if I only had more time in a day, man this week has went by so fast, I need more time, this year is almost over I am not sure where it went, well Leap year has given you a full 24 hours to do with as you please. I recently wrote a post about everyday count, well for me that is an additional 24 hours to accomplish something that in the previous 48 months I have not been able to.

The most valuable commodity I have found is time, well leap year has just rewarded me with more time, I'm ecstatic about it and I know that I will take pride with each and every hour that I have in the precious year. I know that I have the ability to make an additional $2753.00 this year, this is my goal for me to get to the point where I can earn a minimum of $2753.00 daily, I'm overjoyed about that the Leap year has given me an additional day to reap the benefits. The question I ask of anyone that reads this would be what are you going to do with this very rare commodity, are you going to treat this year like all the rest, or are you going to treat this year like you would a very precious commodity. If you take the latter you are well on your way to making this year the year have been waiting for. What better time than today do you have to make a pact with yourself that today and this year will be different, it has been different from the start, and the Presidential Elections happens during this year, there will more than likely be a changing of the guard. Why not follow suit, lets make some changes to our financial makeup, our physical makeup and most of all our emotional makeup.

Success is a journey that starts with you first and foremost believing that you can and will achieve the success you have mapped out. I had a very interesting conversation with a good friend of mine (Eugene Rupert) this week and he asked me a question and for a minute I could not answer, the question was very simple but hard to answer, you have your goals, but do you have a great business plan. At first I answered yes, but to my amazement, I did not have a defined business plan, I have a lot of ideas and goals, but a well designed business plan I was unable to honestly answer yes, but in the interim since our conversation I have written a detailed business plan to go with my goals, I have been very successful in achieving my short term goals due to my determination, and drive, but my business plan had been something I worked on, but did not prioritize it the way I should have, I will be forever grateful for his insight and question, I feel that is why you should never be the smartest person in your room, if I was at this time, this question would not have came about, take time to look at the circle you deal with are they able to give you advise that will help you, inspire you, if not you need to develop a new circle immediately. I will be writing a weekly post about my life and what has or has not transpired in the previous week. My goal is to use my life as a road map to your success, hopefully through my mistakes and successes you will be able to leap frog past what I have done

The Power of a Made up Mind

thepowertobefree@gmail.com (ThePowerToBeFree.com) — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 16:50:00 +0000

It is truly awesome, the power of the human mind; especially when it is determined to do something. If we take a journey through our life, let’s look at the evolution of what has happened during our short existence. We have seen the rise and fall of the auto industry, the deft deception of big companies to embezzle billions of dollars from the unsuspecting public, this new thing called the internet, and kids having cell phones at 7 or 8 years of age. We are truly debating whether or not we are going to elect an African American man, or a woman as President of the United States, either way it will be a first. Be honest, did you ever think this would happen during our lifetime?

All of that was said to say that times change and you need to be aware of it. I have seen the rise and fall of the Real Estate Market right in front of my eyes. I saw it coming, and created a plan of attack to put me in a position to profit and make money when others were still stuck in the game we had been playing. In one week Countrywide, Citibank, and Washington Mutual all raised their hands and said we need help. What are we going to do? We need help from someone. Anyone? That is pretty sad I must say so myself. I do not consider myself a genius by any standard, but I could see that things could not stay the way they were. You had individuals working at McDonald's one day, and the next day they had the authority to consult someone on the most valuable commodity most individuals ever own. And the powers to be really thought this was the way to go. And there would not be rampant abuse in this industry. I think not, they knew, but they were oblivious to what the ordinary individual was doing. Why, you might ask? Greed. And more greed. In this business everyone makes money. So, why stop the juggernaut when it is on a roll.

My mind was made up about 4-5 years ago. To position myself in an arena that will give me more control, have less competition and be the “Big Man” on campus. As you can see, this has not been an overnight rags to riches story. It has been a plan that has taken time to blossom, and I am so excited about what I see so far. ThePowertobeFree.com has assembled the right team to dominate the real estate market. Trust me, someone's going to make a ton of money over the next 3-5 years. Why not you? What plans have you implemented to at least improve your chances of success? Have you truly made up your mind that you are tired of the results you are getting? Well, what if you can join a group that can assist you in obtaining the freedom that you and I deserve? To be in control of your time. The true dictator of your fortune; not some large company that looks at you as just #451407, and that you are expendable.

Take control of your life! You are worth it! Join in ThePowertobeFree.com: a group that will give you what you deserve… Freedom. Our group is growing monthly. Come be a part of it.

I'm so excited to be blessed with the vision of what we are on the edge of achieving. At one time it was not common to have a cell phone. It was even rarer to have a computer in your home. But now almost anyone, child or adult have both. Someone had to visualize it before it became a reality; well the vision I had has started to come to fruition. We have big things in store for you. We are not looking for you to merely exist. We want you to live the life you always dreamed of. It can and will happen for you! There's always a “but” in there somewhere. The thing you must remember, success is a journey taken one step at a time. Consider today, your first day at college. You are a freshman. Bright eyed and bushy tailed. Open to almost anything. You are not yet jaded from the successes or failures that most have endured. What would you have done differently if you had known then, what you know today? There's probably a lot of, “I would of’s” or “I coulda’s”. Well this is your chance to make it all better. Join ThePowerToBeFree.com and start the journey you have been waiting to take. But never had the right vehicle to get you there; it is here, in its purest form.

Join Today. ThePowerToBeFree.com will soon be a household name. Join while it's in its infancy. Over the next 12-24 months, we have a lot to accomplish and we want you to be a part of it. How different would your life be if you were to be an owner of a Marriot Hotel? Or a Convention Center in Florida or the Cayman Islands? Better yet, what about being a part of building homes in Africa, and having a waiting list of individuals to buy your home before it is even built. ThePowerToBeFree.com will not limit its growth to just the US, we are going global.

There is a whole world out there…and we are here to set it free.

Untold Secrets Of Buying Investment Property

thepowertobefree@gmail.com (ThePowerToBeFree.com) — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 14:37:00 +0000

Buying investment property is a great medium to long-term financial strategy to gather wealth. Investment property is a sure way to enjoy earnings either in the form of rentals, profits from property appreciation, The strategy of buying low, and selling high or giving the property a facelift and selling it off for more than the purchase price.

While buying investment property you can choose any kind of real estate such as an apartment block, land, a flat, a commercial property etc. Generally it refers to property that the owner does not reside in, though sometimes the owner may stay in a part of it, and rent out the rest.

Before buying investment property you must know that it should be done with care and caution. It is a complicated business process that needs thorough research and analysis. You should ideally seek the help of professionals involved with the process such as attorneys, financial experts and real estate agents.

Buying investment property and making the most out of this lucrative investment decision starts off with:

- Choosing the right kind of investment

- A planned and proper buying decision with real estate

- Knowledge about the area, location, property values and rents

- The help of a real estate agent in the location of the property and

- Analysis of the property with his or her help; lastly

- The correct offer to buy the property

After the property is bought, the success of the investment depends on a proper taxation strategy, property management and mortgage management.

Another vital aspect while buying investment property is that your mortgage and other expenses associated with the property must be primarily funded from the profits from your tenants, or other sources of income that are not using your personal money.

Another key point while buying investment property is getting the right kind of loan and lender to finance you to buy the property. Generally lenders offer financing up to 95% of the purchase price, which depends on the buyer’s income, assets and credit status. Bigger ventures that involve apartment complexes or multi family property have additional lending criterion.

Before buying investment property you should ideally compare mortgage rates, interests, terms and other features quoted by various lenders in order to get the best deal. Moreover, you should also know about the various tax benefits you will enjoy as an investment property owner. For laymen, it is good to seek help from a financial expert like a CPA before buying investment property.

Week 2 of 2008 has come and Gone

We are knee deep into 2008 what have you done, are you any closer to making the life altering New Years resolutions that you made at the end of 2007. Some of you actually sat down and put time and effort into figuring out that you were not satisfied in 2007. So you decided that you wanted more in 2008 and you did what 95% of the population never achieves. You have a written roadmap to your success in 2008. I know that it is difficult at first to make the transition from a talker to a doer. Well I know that if you want something bad enough you will get off your but and make it happen. It sounds really simple and in the most part, your mind is the key to your success. Take a look back at the previous 13 days and ask yourself honestly what have you done that will bring about a different result in 2008. If we are honest we have probably done a lot of contemplating, but not much of anything else.

Take action on your dreams, it is here for you to take control, all you have to do is take action. If you decide that you really want to change badly enough you will take action. An elderly gentleman once told me that you can either change on your own or you will be forced to change which one are you. This is the information age, the age of you being OK with being average or mediocre is dead and gone, every 3-5 years you will have to upgrade your knowledge base or you will be left behind. If you look at the proliferation of the internet over the last 10 years all you can say is WOW. In 1998 if you asked 10 people what a “GOOGLE” is, 10 out 10 would have said what is a Google, now ask that same question and what will be the answer. So if you look at the big picture it does not take long for things to change in the information age, ready or not it’s changing, so why not be prepared and take action to put yourself in position to take advantage of change. The internet is here to say, so welcome it, learn it, and be well versed in the inner workings of the internet. It can and will make many, many millionaires in the near future.

This is just one area where change is happening very rapidly, we can look at the auto industry and see that it is a business that is on the decline, jobs are being lost daily to outsourcing and other technological improvements. The day and time where you could get a great job at the plant and live a middle class lifestyle will never return, so embrace it and understand that you can have the same lifestyle you just have to have different skill-sets, are you handy, well the building trades and home improvement will not be outsourced, a great handy man can make a significant living if he or she is willing to make a few modifications to the business they run, maybe a web presence or client relationship mechanism that you implement to keep your clients informed about your where about and other need to know information ,IE Specials you are running, referral programs that you have implemented. The easiest, but most overlooked growth would be to have satisfied customers refer other customers to you. Stop worrying so much about new customers and satisfy the one’s you have. What if every customer you acquire has the ability if satisfied to bring 1-3 new clients, well your business can double off every satisfied client.

I have just touched a couple of ideas that can give you the life you desire and deserve. As I stated in an earlier post or article, it all starts and ends with you. The New Year is still in its infancy you have plenty of time to make the necessary corrections to get back on track. Don’t worry about what you haven’t done so far, just worry about what you are going to do today, and tomorrow, the past is long gone and no matter what we say or do we can’t bring it back. Live in the moment sometimes, stop worrying so much about the mistakes you probably will make, so what, we all do it is a part of the learning process, fight through it and give you some valuable me time every day. Take time and ask yourself 2 simple questions.

1. Are you happy with the way your life has been in the past?

2. If you answered as most, what are you willing to do to change your current circumstances?

These 2 simple questions are what I live by, the answer you give will either take you in the direction that you want to go in or it will keep you exactly where you are currently.

Want To Know What Is A REIT! Just Read On…

thepowertobefree@gmail.com (ThePowerToBeFree.com) — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 23:40:00 +0000

REIT or Real Estate Investment Trust, like mutual funds, is a collective investment arrangement wherein funds invested by individual investors are pooled together into a trust. Unlike mutual funds (that invest in stocks), REIT’s invest in real estate. The money pooled into the trust is used for acquiring property shares.

REITs promise you higher return over investment (ROI) and they are considered better security than traditional stocks. This holds even in periods of recession – actually, fall in share prices boosts property prices and vice versa. If you are one who dreams of owning a real estate without having to take any risks, it will be ideal for you to do so through such REITs. REITs can earn you up to four times the dividend you get from an investment bond.

Now, that you know what is a REIT, be familiar with how they function. REITs usually invest in realty, which are then leased out. The earnings from these investments happen to be the income of the trust, which is then divided among the investors (the percentage of profits shared differs).

REITs invest in different types of property – right from commercial buildings like cinemas, industrial property and shopping malls to individual properties like residences as well as state-owned properties like prisons and even golf courses. Sometimes REITs also finance real estate construction work.

Being an excellent as well as safe investment instrument that brings one regular returns, the REIT’s concept is fast gaining popularity worldwide. Created by the attempts of the US Congress in 1960, REITs are now common in countries like Australia, Canada, France, Holland and Japan. In UK, the REITs are referred to as Property Investment Funds or PIFs. Many countries like Germany have their own versions of the REITs.

REITs And The US

Following a 2001 regulation, US REITs are required to disburse at least 90% of their pre tax profits among the investors. (Earlier, the qualifying dividend was 95%.) This way the REITs retain some capital for maintenance of the properties owned by them; this, at the same time, is an excellent way of dodging the double taxation disincentive (that other types of funds are forced to pay). Some US REITs even pay 100% of profits as dividends.

With an accumulated value of US$ 475 billions, there are over two hundred REITs in the USA. The shares of at least one-third of these REITs are traded in major stock exchanges but the remaining two-thirds operate on a private level.

There are three different types of REITs in the USA – Equity REITs, Mortgage REITs and Hybrid REITs. While the first of these REITs invests in the management and development of real estate properties, the second category of REIT acquire and manage real estate loans. As suggested by its name, the third type of REIT owns and manages both property and loans. About 96% of the REITs in the US are Equity REITs.

US Economy May Escape Recession in 2008
The odds of a recession in the US economy have risen to even, and even if there is no recession officially, it will feel like a recession to most Americans, according to Standard & Poors. Still, S&P Chief Economist David Wyss predicts a bumpy landing but no recession.
Housing problems have taken most of the attention in the media so far, but housing alone is unlikely to cause a recession, Wyss writes in U.S. Economic Forecast: Fasten Your Seatbelts, It’s Going To Be A Bumpy Year.
But only if the downturn extends beyond housing is a recession likely.
The drag from the housing sector has been fully offset by two other sectors: foreign trade and capital spending. Over the past four quarters, the improvement in the real trade deficit has added 0.45 percentage point to real GDP growth, offsetting nearly half of the housing drag, Wyss writes. “We expect this to continue in 2008, as a weaker dollar and still-strong foreign economic growth help exports, while imports continue to slow because of weaker U.S. demand. The danger is that the foreign economies may weaken more than expected. Europe and Japan have both relied on trade surpluses to offset soft domestic demand.”
Nonresidential construction expenditures are expected to flatten out in 2008, as slowing employment growth reduces the need for office space and weaker consumer spending slows retail construction, S&P says. The 2007 surge in highway construction will also slow in 2008.
So far, except for housing-related sectors such as furniture and building materials, consumer spending has held up much better than expected. Wyss believes that consumers will cool off in 2008, however, because of higher oil prices and falling home prices. In addition, a rising unemployment rate will cut into consumer confidence.
Whether the economy will be soft enough to count as a recession will depend on how much purchasing power is sucked away by higher energy costs and on how pervasive the damage is to capital markets, Wyss concludes.
Our belief is that this will be a bumpy landing, but not a recession.

Self Directed 401k Plans - Risks And Counter Measures

thepowertobefree@gmail.com (ThePowerToBeFree.com) — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 23:12:00 +0000

Self-directed 401k's are retirement plans that allow plan participants to have Self-Directed Brokerage Accounts (or SDBA's). Unlike traditional, employer-sponsored retirement plans, self-directed 401k plans bring to participants/retirees great many investment options. All you need to do is open an account with a brokerage firm and then you will be able to enjoy a wider selection of investment options, including individual stocks and bonds.

Of course, participants are not just allowed to make unlimited investments in these self-directed brokerage accounts. Participants can invest only a fraction of their retirement assets - say a fixed percentage or a maximum dollar amount.

Self-directed 401k Plans - Associated Risks

Every employee has the right to ask for self-directed accounts when making retirement planning. More and more employers are now thinking of adding self-directed accounts even if it is not included in their retirement plans.

Having said this, it would be wise to point out that researches have indicated that careful, experienced investors, who capably plan their investments, should only go for self-directed 401k plans. Actually, self-directed 401k's and SDBA's can prove risky for both employers and employees.

Speaking of employees, it must be noted that self-directed 401k's bring on them added investment responsibilities. With large number of investment choices, the going gets tough for most investors; they feel rather confused and overwhelmed. In many cases, this results in the investor making a wrong choice and making a bad investment.

The above situation may turn risky for the employer too, especially if the employee continues to make bad investments, without even trying to comprehend the consequences. Under such circumstances, the company (i.e., the employer) is usually held responsible for not guiding the employee in investment matters. In acute cases, lawsuits are filed against companies for failing to provide employee-participants with adequate information.

What Is The Way Out?

Both employees and employers can join hands to evade such knotty situations. For this, it is nearly binding on companies/employers that they thoroughly educate their employees in matters of investment as well as about the associated risks. Investors/employees too should take upon themselves to sharpen their investing acumen.

Novice players should tread more carefully and it is best for them to stick to some company-selected funds initially. Once the person is familiar with the investment-game and is able to work out his/her own strategy, it will be apt for the person to go for self-directed 401k plans.

Ready, Set ,Go

I know that you are wondering how ready, set, go has anything to do with you. Well I have been an athlete pretty much all my life and I have participated in many sports and they are all based on you being prepared for that certain moment when either the whistle blows for you to start, the buzzer sounds for you to start and end play. Well that is how we should be looking at our lives, our whistle now is the alarm clock and when it is sound that most dread from day to day. Then it gets worse if you work in certain environments you have whistles and buzzers that are sounding all the time to tell you when you can start working, or when you can take a break and even when it’s time to go home. It’s funny when you think about it, in your case you dread that whistle, alarm clock or buzzer going off, what if an elite athlete had the same mindset, his chance of being successful would be very limited.

As an athlete I looked forward to the whistle blowing and to start the game, or entity I am involved in. Why not live your life like an athlete, he or she has prepared for the event and is very excited about the outcome that will come only after the whistle blows to get everything started. There have not been to many cases where the athlete was late to the starting line or whatever the event is, not being ready for the tipoff to start. Can you say the same when you buzzer goes off in the morning and the game begins are you prepared or better yet are you excited about what’s going to happen over the next 24 hours, in most cases you dread it, you can’t wait until the whistle blows to end the day before it even gets started. Seriously folks, is that anyway to live you life, and remember it’s your life and you can live it anyway you want, if you desire to be happy and live life full of excitement and adventure, you have the ability to be in the small percentage of individuals that live life on there own terms. Or you can be like the majority that lets life dictate to them when they have to get up, when they can go to sleep and even when they can vacation.

The only one really in control of your actions and reactions are you, not the job you are currently in or even the situation you are in currently, smarter people than us have had to make this same decision, I want freedom, and I am willing to pay the price to get it, will it be easy, don’t kid your self, but is it worth it. If you go back to the title, to become an elite athlete that earns millions of dollars, adored by many if you ask them is it easy, they will probably tell you the same thing it is not easy, but it is worth it. What would it be like if you could dictate your terms, your rules of engagement, well you can if you are willing to make a few changes in your life, first you must believe in yourself and understand that whatever it is that you desire, you can obtain it. After you get in the right frame of mind you must put together a plan of action that you feel will get you to your goals the fastest and most efficiently. The final and most important part of your transformation in most cases are your associations, it is difficult at first because you are still a little resistant to change, but when you really sit down and think about it all you need to is create the right relationships, the right associations and let the ones that are not adding value go. There is an old saying find someone that has what you desire, find out what they did to achieve it and you truly have a roadmap to your success. Sam Walton once said, there’s really, nothing new under the sun, so why reinvent the wheel, someone, somewhere probably has already done what it is that you want to do, so find them and see what it is they have done and duplicate it. Remember tomorrow the whistle will blow in the morning ready or not, why not be ready with a plan of action that will make this day the best day you can make it.

Your next chance to change will be

The New Year is here what have you done

The first thing I would like to do is to wish everyone a happy and prosperous New year. Look at the title and take a second to think, what you have done in the 120 hours that have transpired since the start of the New Year. The answer is important to you, for a multitude of reasons; most New Years Resolutions as we like to call them are won and lost at the starting line. Well the starting line for you happens to be January 1, 2008, and you have to be very cognizant of what you do or do not accomplish on a daily basis. The reason I am asking you to back track and see what you have accomplished in the previous 4 days would be to make you start being accountable for you time, everyday counts when you are trying to make a transformation from who you are presently into the person you want to be. It is a proven fact that most resolutions are lost within the first week of the year and once the average person regresses once they feel they have lost it for the entire year and that does not have to be true, remember everyone makes mistakes, people smarter, richer and more sophisticated than us have regressed from time to time, so do not beat yourself up that you did not hit your desired goals within the first week of the month, or better yet you probably are still in the process of starting to implement your plan for the New Year.

This is just a little encouragement for you to stay focused on what it is that you want to accomplish in 2008, someone will do it why not you. The most important part I have found in hitting and exceeding your goals, would be to have small to moderate milestones that you reward yourself with, don’t be a taskmaster to yourself and get down when things do not go according to plan, as a matter of fact expect things to get in your way and you will be ahead of the game. A quick little test that I like to give individuals, you sat down and wrote your goals and if you are like most you put them somewhere that no one else can find them or see them, what if you put them in an area that people can see them. The reason I tell people to put your goals out there is that you may find that one someone that might hold you to your word, they can or will on a regular basis question you about how you are doing in respect to your goals.

This can do wonders to keep you on track; you can only motivate yourself so far in the beginning so building a solid team that you ask to assist you in reaching your goals is almost mandatory for you at the beginning. The test is to see if for 30 days you enlist 1-3 of your friends and or coworkers in on your plans or goals and see if that helps you or hurts you in obtaining what it is that you want. Be sure to select the most ambitious in your group, giving your goals to a nay-sayer will hurt you more than it can help you, in the beginning you need to insure that you have the most support you can find, so select wisely and see if that can assist you. The breaking of bad habits are a two-fold process, the first is to implement a plan to break your bad habit and second is to replace your bad habit with a new habit and implement it for 30 days, so think about it you are only really 30 day to a new you.

P. S. I am willing to be on your team and help you in you reaching your goals in 2008, I will need for you to send me a written version of your goals and a time to contact you weekly and I will check up on you every Friday. I am committed to you living the life you deserve, the question of the day, are you committed enough to do what it takes, remember success leaves clues what clues have you seen.

Buying investment property and making the most out of this lucrative investment decision starts off with:

- Choosing the right kind of investment

- A planned and proper buying decision with real estate

- Knowledge about the area, location, property values and rents

- The help of a real estate agent in the location of the property and

- Analysis of the property with his or her help; lastly

- The correct offer to buy the property

After the property is bought, the success of the investment depends on a proper taxation strategy, property management and mortgage management.

To Be or Not to Be its truly all up to me

I was asleep and this topic came to me, I was tossing and tuning and my wife was getting frustrated about me not being able to sleep. I told her I had something I needed to write down before I could rest well. Well it really just dawned on me, that my success and lack of it all really depends on me. The reason I say that with such amazement is that for the first time I truly believe it and better yet I know what I need to do today, tomorrow and so on to obtain what it is that I truly want. Individuals always say it, but do you really mean that you know what you want. It is as clear as the sun is on a sunny day. I want freedom, freedom not only from debt, but from the constraints of having to live by everyone’s rules. I know that I can and will change the rules for me; I want and know I can do it for others, but you must first believe that the rules can be changed.

The rules are always made up by someone, have you ever wondered who made up the 9-5 rules for employment and that it takes exactly 40 hours for everyone to get a said task completed. There are rules for all of us to follow, but why do you have to be like everyone else, lets start living out of this box that we all so carefully trying to stay in. Well these rules are changing daily, but not as fast as I would like them to, so I have decided to create my own rules, my own playbook. It will not be that thick and it will not have a lot of details in it. I will be able to tell you this before I even write a word in it, every page will have something on it that I like and want to do. Sounds nice, and most that are reading this will say, yeah that sounds nice, but you are different you have your own business, you can dictate your terms better than me, well at one time I was in your shoes and had to listen to my knuckle head boss and decided I could lead me better that he could to the promised land. My life will be lived on terms that will give me first and foremost freedom, by the end of 2008 or towards the beginning of 2009 I will work only 9 months a year and vacation and or do nothing for 90 days a year.

What would it be like to have 90 days a year off, no I am not including those days that most call a vacation the weekend. I will have 90 days 3 entire months off every year, not including weekends which most look forward to starting on Monday. It can and will happen, why you might ask, well I know and truly believe it can happen and I am implementing systems and structures to insure that it will be possible. My goal is to make more in less time, why not someone else is doing it why not me, why not make more in less time and have more time with the one’s you love or doing things that you like to do. All it takes is a plan, and for you to implement the plan that can give you the life you deserve instead of the life you have. I have talked to my partners and we have 30 day,60-90-180-366 day goals and benchmarks we need to hit to insure that not only will I have and enjoy my life at the end of this year, but my partners as well. It is a very good feeling to have to know that if and when I hit my goals every month, my life is becoming easier and easier.

My plan is my plan, what’s yours, are you really serious about making a change in your life, if you are I am committed to helping you, the first thing you need to realize, it is simple, but not easy, it will be hard, but very rewarding. It is your life do you think you are worth it. Act as if you are fighting for your future, your happiness and well being depends on your actions today, not tomorrow. If you acted with this in mind daily, weekly, or monthly you probably would have a different mindset, your actions would be decidedly more action oriented. Let take a pop quiz, if you had to grade your success or lack of success on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the best where would you rate your 2007. I would rate my 2007 a 2 that means I have a long way to go, where would you rate yours and what is even more important what are you going to do today to insure that rating will be a 10. In closing I would like to say that 2008 will be a year to remember for me, I have some outrageous goals for January, and then it’s off to the races from there on. What do you have planned for January, better yet and even more important what do you have planned for the next 7-10 in January, everyday counts. Procrastination is the biggest dream stealer that I know, stop putting off your life till tomorrow.

Living Life on your terms starts and ends with you, are you ready to do something different, success is available for everyone, but most will never achieve even a portion of the success of others due to fear of failure, failure is a very real part of success, the more you fail, the more chances you have of success.

Will 2008 Be a Repeat of 2007?

This is a question we should all be wrestling with because 2008 is fast approaching all of us. The question you need to ask yourself is what will be different in 2008 that will give you a different result than you have had not only in 2007, but in the previous 3 or 4 years. In most cases we are really in a circle, that just strangles repeats itself over and over again. The mistakes, the lack of income, the lack of a plan, this was a problem for most in 2000 and is a problem for them in 2007 as well, 2008 can and will be decidedly different if we want it too. I am here to assist you in making 2008 the breakthrough year you have all been waiting. I recently conducted a seminar and we had a dynamic guest speaker named Ken Brown (www.Kenbrowninternational.com) and he would repeatedly say that you need to write this down or this is some good stuff here. Well the stuff here may not have the same power that Mr. Ken Brown said it with, but this is some stuff you need to write down, and take notes on. One of the best antidotes he gave was that (Success Leaves Clues) well if it leaves clues what clues have you been following or finding recently? If we are honest with ourselves our clues have not amounted to much and they probably have come far and few between.

Why you might ask, well you need to see who’s in your immediate circle, the people you consider your closest friends and or your confidant. What is the medium income of this group, if the group is not making money, or even motivated to go forward then the clues you will see and hear will reflect this? We need to respect our time and our associations, what means more to you, your friends and how they will perceive you when you are on your quest for success or are you like most too worried that you may rattle a few feathers with you changing for the better. Success can be achieve by all but most never take a real stab at it, they are too worried about failure, they are too worried about making mistakes, too worried about what could go wrong, or the dreaded what if’s of the world. Well every day, every hour someone is living and achieving life milestones that they previously thought were unobtainable, why not you.

Achieving your goals will make you uncomfortable, it will make you question your sanity at times, but what of true value has not come with some sacrifice. I use myself as an example, most only see the exterior or the end results, but as they say in show business if you only knew what really goes on behind the scenes, well 2007 was a great character building year for me. It gave me the confidence that no matter what happens I can overcome it, the greatness and the success I crave for is right around the corner. I just need to stay focused on my goals and truly prioritize what will give me the greatest return on my time and energy every day.

This will be a 3 part series that I will give you success clues and tips that will propel you in 2008 to a status where you will question why did it take me so long, what was I waiting for, if this was all I had to do then why didn’t someone tell me sooner. Stop worrying about the past, it is dead and gone, never to rise its ugly head again. Live in the moment and you will be thoroughly surprised at what is possible. Tips for this lesson will be

1. Take a close look at your circle, the 5 that you associate with, the 5 you would think as your advisors so to speak and ask them, what are there plans for 2008, better yet do they have any. If the answers are not on the level you feel that can help or assist you in achieving your goals in 2008 you need to create some new associations ASAP. Time is of the essence here, 2008 will be here in less than 48 hour. My mother and a good friend of mine told me that whatever way you start the year that is going to be a great indicator of the year to come.

2. Second and most important, you have time, write down what you want to accomplish for 2008, don’t worry if you have never achieved it before, that what goals are for, they are for you to have a visible reminder of what you feel that you can accomplish. In 2008 there will be more Millionaires created than ever, on the flip side, 2008 will probably see more financial disasters than ever before, foreclosures will continue to rise, Bankruptcies will go through the roof, it’s kind of funny when you think about it, in the same 365-366 days that someone will become a Millionaire, someone will loose it all at the same time, we all have the same amount of time, which side do you want to be on. Be specific in your goals, create a yearly income and personal goal and then break it down month by month. If you are not used to writing goals, my advice to you would be to just figure out what you would like to do in January that will possibly give you a different result than you got in December. Try to see if you can find one new person that can assist you in your quest for success. Read one book, it seems hard, but the average reader reads at 200 words per minute, so even if you read below average you can take 30 minutes and read 5-10 pages a day. Even with as little as 5-10 pages a day x 30 days you are at 150-300 pages in January, most books are between 150-200 pages.

In closing I would like to say that taking 7 hours a week to improve your is well worth it, you may think that you do not have the time, but you do, act as if you life depends on it, I know mine does so I wake up every morning with a purpose, and a goal I try to achieve that day. Do you, if not start today and see what a difference a made up mind can do.

An Open invitation To Help Me: Help

thepowertobefree@gmail.com (ThePowerToBeFree.com) — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 10:34:00 +0000

This is An Open Invitation to Help Me, Help

Is there a specific plan behind my writing? Is there a greater purpose in place? I am writing to find that inner voice inside of myself. My intention is to connect with that creative force within that creates best selling books and programs that will help people change their lives. I also want to help people help other people. Together we can change the entire world one person at a time. Writing is one of the tools that I have chosen to use toward that end. The goal is for me to become a better writer everyday. I want to become the best writer that I can possibly be in order to effectively communicate ideas, concepts and explain systems and success strategies. It takes practice, however, to become more than one might be. I'm up to it though. I have got to work at it day in and day out. It is a life-changing process to push myself in this way, but I know that to be able to change the lives of others, I must first change my own. And so on I push.

To build and accomplish great things in life, one must have a very motivating and powerful WHY--a reason that is so compelling that one can leap tall buildings in a single bound. What is my WHY? You would be correct to assume that to push myself in this way I would have to be divinely inspired. I am. The idea to write a book has come to me over the past couple of years. Over time the idea has turned into a dream and the dream has developed into a goal. Yes! I have finally disciplined myself and have taken the dynamic action required in order to make my goal into a reality. I diligently put my nose to the grindstone day in and day out to bring this goal to fruition. The fruits of my efforts are already evident and my vision of becoming a published author is well on its way.

I write with a very specific purpose in mind as write this message to you. You need to really hear me. There is much more at stake here than just my desire to become a published author. I ask now that you hang in here with me on this. It's very important. I ask that you push yourself beyond most people's typical attention span. Please focus on what I am communicating to you. We are all in need of assistance from time to time. I usually do not ask for help. Wait. Let me change that. While I seldom ask for any personal favors, I will ask and ask often for help for the Lupus Foundation of which I am the treasurer.

The Lupus Foundation serves a mighty purpose in this world. It exists solely for the many people who need help and perhaps cannot ask for themselves. I am truly honored to be able to ask for them. Help! The CDC reports that lupus affects an estimated 239,000 (conservatively) people in the United States. About nine out of 10 people who have lupus are women. Approximately one third of deaths occur among men and women younger than 45. During 1979-1998, the annual number of deaths from lupus rose from 879 to 1,406 and the crude death rate increased from 39 to 52 per million population, with a total of 22,861 deaths reported during this 20-year period. Help! Please recognize here and now that my life's mission is not solely focused on creating books or a brand for myself. There is a real purpose behind my plan. My goal is also to make Michigan's Lupus Foundation into a household name and help countless lupus survivors in the process.

Lupus must be combated. This can and will happen with your assistance. I am looking for individual and corporate sponsors to help me publish my book, Life Behind Invisible Bars. The total cost for development, production, marketing and advertising will be around 10K. This is a very modest figure considering what it takes within the scope of writing and publishing a book. What's more is that this is a book that will no doubt touch the hearts, minds and lives of people all over this country. All profits from the book will go directly to the Latreese Nicole Fagan Memorial Scholarship Foundation . This foundation came to be because of a loving, intelligent, beautiful, hard-working and ambitious young woman named Latreese Nicole Fagan. She was a lovely young woman and a beautiful spirit who has inspired the founders to build the Lupus Foundation as a memorial to her short but very meaningful life.

Life Behind Invisible Bars, will focus on helping people to achieve success despite the barriers or bars that surround and try to hold them back. This book will incorporate and bring together a body of important information, education, resources and unique features. It will serve as a blueprint for success as it chronicles my own path through challenges, over obstacles, around problems, under barriers and on to success. This book will show every reader that there is absolutely nothing that can stop a person if he or she will just hold on and keep on keeping on—day in and day out. As Zig Ziglar puts it, "Failure is an event—not a person."

There will also be special bonus chapters included in the book that will feature the words of some extremely successful friends of mine who have graciously agreed to donate their expertise and knowledge of success systems and wealth attainment for this worthy cause. Trust me, these stellar individuals are at the top of their games. An hour consultation with any one of them would run into the thousands of dollars because, the information, insight and advice that they have to share is the STUFF of dreams and true transformation. Every reader will be able to take something solid and life altering from this book. It will change lives!

In addition to the bonus chapters provided by my exemplary friends, there will be the poignant story of how The Latreese Nicole Fagan Scholarship Fund was created. Make no mistake, this is an important story that desperately needs to be told because, as quiet as it is kept, the death rate among African American women ages 45-64 years has increased seventy five percent (75%), and more than one-third of all deaths from SLE occurred among persons less than forty-five (45) years of age. Lupus is three times more common in black women than in white women. It is also more common in women of Hispanic/Latina, Asian, and American Indian descent. Black and Hispanic/Latina women tend to develop symptoms at an earlier age than other women. African Americans have more severe organ problems, especially with their kidneys. This book will not allow what is happening with lupus to be kept quiet any longer. Lupus will be exposed with this book.

This powerful book will also help current lupus survivors and their families to better understand the why, how and the 'what' of dealing with lupus. They will be able to read about what dealing with the disease has meant for other lupus patients and their loved ones. It will offer support, provide them with a way to reach out to one another and let them know that they are not alone. Life Behind Invisible Bars, will let lupus survivors and their families know that people really do care.

The Lupus Foundation has been a labor of love not only for myself but also due to the close nit relationship I was blessed to share with Latreese. She was my cousin, but Latreese was more like the sister that I never had. She was and is an angel in my life. Everyone who was fortunate enough to know Latreese will attest to the same. My dear mother and Latreese were far more than mere relatives. They were the best of friends. During the course of any given day, my mother would often pause and say, "I need to go and see how my Tricie is doing." Soon after she'd uttered the words my mother would be off to see Latreese. They shared a very special bond.

The ironic thing about my mother's and Latreese's relationship is that they passed away exactly one year apart from one another. Get this; they both passed away in the month of May. My mother was buried in May of 2000. Latreese passed away the following year in the month of May and on the very same day of the month. They are both my angels and this project is a labor of my undying love for them both. It is also a labor of my love for all of the beautiful hearts and souls out there that have been and will be affected by lupus. I want us to help those people. I know that my mother and Latreese would want us to help them. Will you help me help them?

Help! I need your help to offset the cost of producing this book. Your donation of any size will be greatly appreciated. I am asking you to please get out of your shell and rise from your comfort zone. You can make a difference. We can make a difference in the lives of so many precious people. I send letters and emails of encouragement to let you know the many strategies and resources available for you in this world if you decide you want it bad enough. I freely give all of my knowledge and expertise to you. I want you to succeed. I've proven that. Today there are people counting on you to decide that you are going to make a difference and give of yourself to help someone else. Whether you can donate $25.00 or $2500.00, it will all be used toward further development of the vital work of The Lupus Foundation.

Most of us have heard of Jerry's Kids or The American Cancer Foundation, but most have never heard of the LatreeseFagan.org Lupus Foundation . This is not because the other foundations are doing anything better or more meaningful than the Lupus Foundation is doing. It is due to lack of education, lack of exposure and to a huge degree, lack of funding. FUNDING is always the key to getting resources in place to help those facing a debilitating and deadly disease like lupus. Again, the death rate among African American women ages 45-64 years has increased seventy five percent (75%), and more than one-third of all deaths from SLE occurred among persons less than forty-five (45) years of age.

We need funding to fight lupus. It's that plain. It's that simple. When I look within my heart I see a vision of Latreese and what this foundation is doing to honor her memory by helping other lupus survivors. I know that she would be so pleased that we are helping people with lupus through scholarships, education and information. She was a very hard-working student and studied throughout her life to excel academically. There are many young women appreciate Latreese who would like the same opportunity to succeed. So please find it is your heart to assist us with this very worthy project to fund The Lupus Foundation here in Michigan. There are NO paid employees and there is NO compensation for meetings—well, sometimes we do get some great chicken wings during our monthly meetings. Seriously, it is a labor of love for everyone involved.

This project will happen. This is your opportunity to be a part of something that will affect the lives of thousands of patients suffering from this excruciatingly debilitating disease. Are the people affected and who will be affected with lupus worth the effort and concern? Do you feel that more people should know about lupus? Can you see how much good a project like this will do? Have you ever wanted to really be an important part of something bigger than yourself? Will you help me help?

The deadline for this book is January 1,2008. Time is short. We know that in life it is better to give than to receive. Without a shadow of a doubt, I know that I will be blessed for serving this cause. What I am working to accomplish is going to touch people's hearts and save people's lives. This is an opportunity for you to touch people's hearts and save people's lives. You too will be a blessing and therefore blessed. What we work to manifest through God, here and now with this book, will continue to grow long after you and I have passed away. That's just how POWERFUL this is.

Please fight any temptation to just toss this request aside as so many do when it comes to donations. I know that it's a challenge. I have a family. I have bills. Believe me, I understand. I hear you saying, "Man money is tight! I can't afford to help others." Yes, you can. Can I afford to take my focus off of YTB and real estate and finances? No—but YES I CAN! Actually, what we can't afford is to block our blessings. I know how giving and receiving work in this world. We must plant seeds. I can almost guarantee that you will receive back at least twice the amount that you donate to this cause. Yes, you are going to receive back everything you give and then you are going to get double for your trouble. That's just how it works when you give.

I am willing to do one better. I am willing to work for it. If you need your grass cut, house cleaned, repair your credit for free, (you heard me!) I will do it. I am committed to this cause. I will do whatever it takes to help life-changing project to become a reality. I am asking that you think about what you can really afford to give. If all you can donate to this cause is $25.00, that's fine. I just request that you give what you can and please let other caring folks know about what we are doing. Ask five of your closest friends to give with you. Whatever you do, please just find time in your busy schedule to give to a good cause.

I am giving of my time and money to make this a reality. Move out of your comfort zone please. Find out how much your friends or family members have to donate to this cause. I know for a fact that many of us have seen the 9 ^th installment of "The Pirates of the Caribbean" or even the newly released, "Why Did I Get Married?" Many of us went out after watching the picture; we ate, laughed and talked about how talented Tyler Perry is. Maybe you went to work the next day and openly discussed aspects of the movie. Many cast their votes as to whether they like it or not. Listen. It doesn't matter whether you liked the movie or not or if you have any idea why you got married. The movie created a conversation. (Just getting you to talk about the film is the result of hidden sales techniques by the way. When I come back to you for YTB.com next week we'll discuss some of that. This will all be in addition to getting a very worthwhile book published. Actually, this will help you to start to find your own voice.)

You, yes you can make a difference today if you decide to. Just take action! Call me. E-mail me. Visit our site for a donation form at: http://www.latreesefagan.org/donate.html or go to http://www.paypal.com/ and send your donation through PayPal to info@latreesefagan.com please. Everything else that you may have been chatting about lately regarding Freedom, the movies, politics, the weather, etc., are all well and good, but you could not cut your teeth on a better subject to network and discuss than what we are doing with the The Lupus Foundation.

Tell your friends, family and co-workers about what is being done here in Michigan with the LatreeseFagan.org Foundation . Tell them about our fast approaching deadline for a cause that will help countless people forced to deal with an awful disease that is affecting so many people. Help!

Help me to do something positive that will ultimately be a blessing for us all. Sure, Brittany, her antics and her visitation rights may out-rate this cause in the daily news and gossip columns, but when real history is examined and reviewed, it is causes like this that will make a lasting impression on the world. Let's do something that really matters.

I appreciate you for taking the time to read this letter. I thank you in advance for any donations that will help us make this happen.

Executives from Fortune 100 companies, realtors who have sold over 4 million square feet of commercial properties, people just like you who are wanting more out of life. Who are not happy with their present income. People who want to kiss their bosses good-bye!

We meet monthly to educate, to inspire, and to network with true professionals in the field.

This is not a club, this is a TEAM. A group of people working together for a common goal.

And our goal is to become the premiere Commercial Real Estate Team in the state.

How many single family homes do you think you would need to flip to earn $50,000 - $100,000? Staggering isn't it? The Donald Trumpps of the world don't invest in single family homes. And there is a reason for that.

Don't let lack of knowledge hold you back. We have the team lined up. We are just waiting on you!

The Power to be Free

THE POWER TO BE FREE seminars do just that. We will teach you-- inspire you, to be free of your financial worries. To be free from the daily grind of working to make someone else rich. Imagine collecting the rent on a 50 unit apartment building.

This is not a get rich quick scheme. This is a process driven group. There are steps and work to be done to reach the goal. And our goal is to be the premiere commercial real estate investors in the state.

The way we are going to reach that goal is by working with the experts. Experts who have sold over 4 million square feet of commercial properties, and executives from Fortune 100 companies are already part of our team. We have accountants, insurance agents, realtors and mortgage specialists, as part of our network of experts ready to work with you.

We don’t expect you to know about commercial real estate. That is our job.

We are going to buy apartment buildings, office spaces, shopping malls. The Donald Trumps of the world don’t invest in single family homes. And why would they?

We have the team in place. We are waiting for you!
