The Fuel That Drives The Ultimate Lifestyle

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

In a recent article (What is The Ultimate Lifestyle), I
talked about the 8 core components that define “The
Ultimate Lifestyle.”

The first component was income streams, and the reason it
was listed as #1 is because if you want to live the ultimate
lifestyle (as you define it), you must:

- Have total control over your time (i.e. you’re your own
boss, not an employee)

- Have numerous income streams flowing, with as many of them
as possible being “passive” or requiring minimal time and
effort from you. To truly live the ultimate lifestyle, you
must have income that flows whether you “show up for work”
or not. These income streams are the “fuel” that drives The
Ultimate Lifestyle.

In this article, I’m going to discuss the “Top 10″ income
streams you can setup. There are actually many more than 10,
but we don’t have we room to discuss them all here.

You may be in a position to take advantage right now of many
or all of the streams I discuss, or it may take some time
and effort to get one or more of them flowing. There’s no
hurry. Creating the ultimate lifestyle takes vision, time,
planning and effort.

All the streams I discuss may not interest you or match your
preferred lifestyle, and it isn’t necessary to have all of
them flowing at once (or at all) to live your own ultimate
lifestyle. I’m just giving you food for thought.

Here are the “Top 10″ best ways I’ve found to generate the
streams of income required to truly live your ultimate
lifestyle:

1. Start/Run Your Own Business

We’re living at a fantastic time in history if your goal is
to start your own business and create passive or “low
effort” income streams from it selling products or services.

With the many benefits of the Internet, the power of direct
marketing (online and offline), and the large number of top-
notch contractors and third party companies you can offload
the day-to-day “grunt work” to, today’s entrepreneurial
environment a dream come true if you know how to set things
up to take maximum advantage of the many tools and resources
available.

In addition, it has never been easier to set up a strong
flow of income doing something you love or you’re really
passionate about – no matter what it is or how “obscure” it
may be. Again, the Internet and direct marketing create
unprecedented levels of opportunity.

Finally, there are numerous tax advantages to having your
own business which enable you to put much more money in your
own pocket — if you know how to set things up and take
maximum advantage of the many tools and systems available.

If you want to live your ultimate lifestyle, your own
business will be at the core of it. It’s my #1 choice for
creating the ultimate lifestyle.

2. Royalties

If you have a specific area of expertise and you know how to
turn it into a book, audio, video or multi-media course, you
can get other people to manufacture it, sell it, manage all
the details, and send you a royalty check for a percentage
of the sales. This is a great stream of passive income and
one I’m currently pursuing aggressively.

You can also generate passive royalty income from inventions
or other marketable ideas of various kinds.

You make less money “per piece” when you go this route, but
the fact that you don’t have daily responsibility for
managing the production, sales, accounting and other details
has a lot of value, and if you set it up right, the products
that generate royalties for you also cause people to come
back into your orbit to buy and do other things that end up
benefiting you in many other ways in the long run.

Do you feel this is a good idea but you don’t think you have
the expertise that could translate into a royalty stream?
That *might* be true, but I can almost guarantee that you
have expertise you don’t know you have, you could easily
create it by following a passion and/or create a potential
royalty stream from knowledge you have or could get if you
got some the right kind help.

3. Licensing Fees

This income stream is similar to the royalty stream, but has
many notable differences. Licensing involves charging a fee
to allow others to sell products you create (books, tapes,
videos, etc.), or to use your likeness, logo or other very
visible aspect of your work, business or “brand.”

Licensing can also take the form of allowing others to
present a seminar, workshop or talk you’ve designed that
provides many benefits to the audiences receiving them. I
have two friends, Charles and Will, who’ve licensed the
rights to one, two and three day seminars with their
material, and they receive HUGE checks every month.

Will actually has 5000 people licensed to present his one
day seminar, and tens of thousands of people are getting the
benefit of his work, and he’s getting big checks without
lifting a finger.

There are other forms of licensing, however, that don’t
require expertise on your part, just visibility and a
“brand.”

One example includes Disney who licenses their logo, the
likenesses of Disney characters, etc. Another example
includes Harry Potter merchandise. Another example includes
the use of the Coke or Pepsi logo.

While it’s true that these examples center around huge
companies, there are a variety of licensing opportunities
for “little guys” like you and me if you get creative and
set it up right.

4. Real Estate

I’ve only dabbled in real estate over the years, but I’m
gearing up with my wife to get very involved with Real
Estate in 2004 and beyond.

Passive income streams can flow out of Real Estate in many
ways, including:

Buying and then re-selling foreclosures and other
“distressed” properties

Buying apartment buildings or office buildings

Buying a building for your own business use (I plan to do
this in a few years)

Buying houses, renovating them, and reselling them (my
stepmother does this with a good friend of mine in Los
Angeles and they’re *very* successful at it) Real Estate
does require that someone “shows up” to do various things,
but you can set it up so you aren’t that “someone.” That’s
my goal and plan with my wife.

There are many people out there who teach powerful systems
for setting up passive income streams with Real Estate.

5. Investments

You can setup passive or “low effort” income streams from
having cash you invest in “vehicles” that generate
dividends, interest, or other forms income.

You can also generate an income stream, although it’s not
completely passive (but might suit your lifestyle
preferences) by trading stocks, options, or commodities.

There’s an art to generating income from investments.

You do not want to choose this option without exercising
great caution and/or finding an advisor or partner that can
do it for you.

6. Life Insurance

This is a longer term strategy and one designed more for
your retirement years, but there are forms of life insurance
that allow you to fund the policy in earlier years and then
receive guaranteed income in later years. I’m putting a
program like this in place as we speak.

7. Sale/Payout Of A Business

If you have your own business, you can sell it one day
(maybe even soon) and use the cash you receive to fund your
ultimate lifestyle — and/or to pursue the other passive
income streams discussed here.

My father did this. He bought a small chain of travel
agencies, built it up, then sold it. He got cash at the time
of sale, but also had an “earn out” that sent a strong
income stream to him for 15 years. My friend randy did the
same thing when he sold his business.

8. Network Marketing

Network Marketing (or “MLM”) gets a bad rap from many people
and in many circles, yet it’s one of the best ways to create
passive, or reasonably passive income streams, if you pick
the right company and work the system correctly.

9. Other Partnerships

In addition to the options listed above, there are a variety
of other partnerships and relationships you can create where
you help other people to achieve their goals, get something
they really want, or give them something to sell, and they
compensate you for it.

10. Information Products

This is a subset of having your own business, but I’m
breaking it out separately because it’s an ultimate
lifestyle creation tool you should consider even if you
already have your own business right now.

When I say “information products,” I mean books, tapes,
courses, seminars, coaching programs, etc.

There are many people who already have a business doing
something (like being a doctor, dentist, real estate
broker), and through having that business, they’ve developed
a strong expertise that can help other people in the same
business enhance their success.

For example, I know one dentist who’s so skilled at a
particular kind of reconstructive dentistry, that other
dentists flock to him and he’s created additional income
streams from sharing his expertise through a newsletter,
seminars and “look over my shoulder” events. He generates $1
million a year from his information products business and
could stop practicing dentistry at any time if he wanted to.

I know of another man who’s in the lumber business who
developed a revolutionary process for drying lumber faster.
He started teaching that process to other people in the
lumber business through just 2-3 weekend seminars a year and
created a $250,000 a year income stream from it.

I know of a very successful real estate broker who created a
variety of information products (courses, seminars, and
coaching) to teach other real estate brokers how to use his
system to make a lot more money with a lot less effort.
While he’s still working as a real estate broker every day,
his information products business generates a huge income
stream for him and he could also stop working as a broker at
any time if he wanted to.

I know of a very successful carpet cleaner who is now living
his ultimate lifestyle teaching other carpet cleaners how to
increase their sales and profits using his unique approach.

I also know a very successful orthopedic surgeon and
mortgage broker who want to stop working so hard in their
chosen field and are currently seeking ways to create
information products businesses to replace their current
incomes while making dramatic shifts in their lifestyles.

Do you have your own business and have developed a unique
expertise or approach that could be converted into an
information products business?

The Next Steps …

Depending on where you are right now in your career, you may
be thinking to yourself, “This all sounds great, but I have
absolutely no idea what income streams I might be able to
setup or how to do it.”

If that thought (or one like it) crossed your mind, stay
tuned. I’ll be discussing some “what to do” and “how to do
it” ideas in future articles.

Ethical Link Exchange, You be the Judge

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

Webmasters understand that quality and relevant inbound links can increase site visibility; your search engine rating; and with any luck increase your traffic and revenue.

While working to locate relevant links for our site, we discovered a disturbing practice apparently being used to increase link popularity and search engine ranking. The following are the sorted details of our journey and discovery.

1) Most webmasters understand the hunt for quality relevant sites is, like most things of value in life, a time consuming and difficult task. Being limited on time, we first tried to hire a leading SEO expert to locate relevant links. When the SEO expert did not return emails, we tried a few link exchange sites. While a few good quality links were unearthed, the link exchange sites simply did not offer a large quantity of good relevant sites. After all, our competitors had hundreds of thousands of inbound links and we had less than 900. While tempting, we skipped over the advertisements for traffic as our desire was for prospective customers not traffic.

2) We finally decided on the DIY approach. First step, check current reciprocal links page to insure all was well. A few sites no longer linked to us, so our webmaster links page required a few updates.

3) Next we chose to use Link Popularity Check to locate links that our competitors have, that we perhaps missed. The first thing we noticed was hundreds of inbound links a competitor had, all coming from a few specific sites. Upon visiting the sites, we noticed that one was a “directory” and several others were normal sites that contained very little content. In short, the directory and other sites were nothing a competent webmaster could not create in a day or two.

4) We found it odd the inbound sites all have the same visual look, color scheme, and navigation. Our competitor’s site was also listed in the “Related Resources” area on each and every page. The light bulb suddenly switched on! The inbound sites appeared to have been created for the sole purpose of increasing link popularity and therefore the competitor’s search engine ranking!

5) Ping the four sites to locate the IP addresses. Four different addresses, not in consecutive order. Perhaps we were mistaken.

6) A few mouse clicks to see who owned the domain names of the four sites. All the sites are owned by the same company, are housed at the same ISP, and have the same email address listed for the administrative and technical contact names.

7) A few mouse clicks at Alexa.com to review traffic patterns show the sites have very little traffic, yet all have a PageRank score of 6 or higher. Site traffic is increasing for each.

Nope, it does not appear we were mistaken. It appears a competitor actually created web sites for the sole purchase of increasing his/her link popularity and search engine ranking for their primary business site. To recreate such a process:

  • Register a domain name that is tied to your primary sites keyword list. For example, if your primary site sells widgets and has a domain name of Widgets.com, something like “Widget- Directory.com” would be ideal;

  • Setup a new hosting account with your ISP, using a different IP address, for Widget-Directory.com;

  • Create a few pages that use the keyword list from Widgets.com, then setup a link system that invites webmasters to exchange links. Remember, no need to get carried away with content as the purpose of Widget-Directory is really keyword tie-in and link exchanges;

  • Now, code every page of Widget-Directory with a link back to Widget.com;

  • Sit back and watch. As webmasters enter their sites and subcategories into Widget-Directory, the results will increase the link quantity and apparently your search engine ranking of Widget-Directory AND Widgets.com.

We were curious to see if this was an isolated incident or a rampant practice. While not rampant, it did not take us long to find others companies utilizing this technique. Is this ethical? I am sure some would argue this is a savvy internet marketing practice, while others will view the practice as repulsive. Ethical or not, this technique is simple, cost effective, and apparently will increase your search engine ranking. One thing is clear, I will never look at directory sites or link exchange pages the same.

Hopefully, the search engine will adjust their algorithms and nullify this practice. In the interim, for those that take a negative PR and/or link exchange hit, remember that honesty builds longevity and lasting relationships. Remember the SEO expert we previously tried to hire? We went back and checked his site, and yes he utilizes the same technique. Odd thing however, his sites no longer enjoys top ratings on the major search engines. Perhaps, the search engines are starting to figure this one out.

Roots of Algebra Hate

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Algebra as a Scientific Discipline

Algebra is considered a primary branch of mathematics which puts the light on how to manage all situations involving numbers and variables. Naturally and historically, there is so much to say about teaching and learning of Algebra as a generalized arithmetic which goes through systematic mathematical procedures such as induction, generalization and proof. So, the pupils get to enhance their mastery in algebra progressively, for example by getting the information from tutors or software systems, which provide bit by bit solutions. Software Systems designed for algebra learning provide all the available methods for resolving particular problems with a technological touch. Many pupils are not even aware of the full potential of algebra! They complain about its impracticality neglecting that Algebra, generally maths, teaches their mind how to think logically and correctly. The school is the most traditional way of learning algebra, from being a kid till becoming an adult pupils get their information from the teacher. With the advancement of applied science, new techniques have been disciplined to learn Algebra, such as using software packages which is a more handy way to learn Algebra. These computer software packages deliver information in a progressive approach in to student’s heads.

Algebra’s Covered Area

Same as any other subdivision of science, Algebra handles a lot of fields and includes many theories and concepts. Gcf, or Greatest Common Factor , is one such constructs. Gcf means to rewrite the polynomial as a product of simpler polynomials or of polynomials and monomials. Solving fractions is one of the important parts of algebra which essentially gives students the opportunity to apply it to the real world. non-linear function represents any function which is a solution of a quadratic polynomial. Among other essential factors of algebra , multiplying and dividing radicals is also one of the primary ones. A person can multiply and divide with radicals only if the index, or root, is the same. Other associated areas are Adding and Subtracting Radicals; a person can add or subtract radical terms only if both the index and the radicand are the same. Matrix operations, another main areas of algebra which has a wide applicability when it comes to the real world, includes operations such as adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing. Among other primary areas are finding x-intercept of a line and y-intercept of a line – to get the x-intercept of a line, substitute zero for y in the equation and vice versa for finding y-intercept of a line.

The Power Of Being A Woman

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

The Power Of Being A Woman

The American Poet Ralph Waldo Emerson once said: “What lies behind us and what lies before us, are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” Little did he know that his quote would sum up the past, present and future of women. He also didn’t know that women would emerge as powerful pillars of society. It wasn’t until the 20th century that American women were allowed to vote and it took even longer until they could say no to sex in their marriages. What lies behind us is the history of women, who paved the way to liberation.

What lies before us is the most meaningful time ever for women. What lies within us is the power to continue this feminine revolution. The once considered submissive female gender is rising to the top. Today women have assumed the roles of CEOs, litigation lawyers and senators. Women earn four out of every 10 law degrees and almost that many medical degrees. They have become activists against violence and proponents of human rights. Their worth has become defined by their accomplishments and ability to make a difference.

Today women seek validation as complete human beings. Along the way they have learned to master remote controls, change tires and file income tax returns. They know how to shop for bargains and still splurge on Godiva chocolates. They cry over romantic movies and get a thrill from the X-files. They are touched by the sight of babies and outraged at violence. When making love they like to be on the top, in charge of their own fulfillment.

Yet, taxis still stop for us, men still open the doors for us and firefighters will rescue us first. We don’t have to pay when we go on dates. We can go after what we want without being afraid to ask for help. We can say what we mean, without being mean when we say it. We can walk in the shoes of others, without losing direction. Best of all, we know how to solve our problems by simply eating chocolate.

There are more fashion stores for women than there are for men. Entire cosmetic departments, loaded with stuff to make us look and smell pretty, are created just for us. Our underwear, enriched with lace and rhinestones, is fortified with silicone inserts and airlifts. It doesn’t get any better than that. Our options and power are endless and here is some data to support that:
By 2010, women are expected to control $1 trillion, or 60 percent, of the country’s wealth – BusinessWeek and Gallup.
Women purchase or influence the purchase of 80 percent of all consumer goods.
This is just the beginning! On a competence level we have what it takes to grab the world by the tail. Women are natural at multi-tasking. They talk on the phone, while cooking dinner, shave their legs while applying eye-makeup and run a corporation while managing a household. Women have compassion like no other species and never tire of listening to problems. They have the courage to find solutions when others give up. Equipped with great intuition they know right from wrong without consulting an expert.

Women are great communicators connecting easily with people. They are resilient in the face of adversity and are networking pros reaching out for support. Instead of hoarding information, women freely share with others. They are emotionally tuned-in and have the gift of expressing it.

Women have the courage to be honest and outspoken. When dealing with stress, women can have a pedicure or go shopping. Best of all, women don’t need to compete with men to be successful. They can stand on their own, or be united to reach goals. Femininity is personal power and at no other time in history has society been so touched by the power of women.

While many women may still be judged by the shape of their legs, corporations are zooming in on feminine traits. With a new female leadership style emerging, women are hired into positions of power because of their skills and femininity. Obviously, many companies believe that the best man for the job is still a woman. Society has finally concluded that the lack of female energy is the reason for most problems in our world.

Women have what it takes to create a more peaceful world of human equality. Our time has come to capitalize on our feminine traits and the warmth of our hearts to rock the world. No matter what background, religion or race we come from, we don’t need to look outside for validation. Our strength lies within. The world needs us. It needs our courage to forge ahead, our intuition to discern, our passion for humanity and our wisdom to see the big picture. Women must stand united in their feminine spirit to bring about global changes. There is nothing quite like women with a purpose, who rise to the occasion.

Reach Your Goals – Start A Round Robin

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

Start a “round robin” goal letter with others who need a little motivation and accountability


If you know a few people who are working on projects of their own (and lets face it, how many people do you know who aren’t) ask them if they’d be interested in starting a “success round robin.” Participants do not have to be aiming for the same goals for this to work.


Start by writing a letter or email that briefly notes what your goal is and what you have done about reaching it and what tips, techniques and other helpful hints you may have (why not send along a link to this e-book, as well!). Send your letter on to the next person on the list, who then does the same before sending it on to the next person. By the time it gets back to you, not only should you have plenty to write about regarding your own progress (hey, you can’t let the guys/gals down, can you), but you should also have plenty of inspiration and ideas to borrow from!

Perfect Numbers. The Prospect of Succeeding on the Euro Millions and Does Anyone Stand a Real Chance

Friday, April 24th, 2009

The chances of scooping up the Euromillions jackpot is a remote one : seventy-six million but the likelihood of acquiring a money prize is a somewhat decent 1 : 24. If the jack-pot is not won in a given week, it is carried forward to the next lotto draw which results in an ever increasing jackpot value. Recent regulations brought in on the 09 February 2007 restrict the number of successive roll-overs to 11, with the jack-pot rolling out to lower prize levels succeeding the 11th lotto draw when the prize is not collected.

The Euro Millions lotto or the Euro lotto, as it’s commonly best-known, pools the lotto ticket revenues of the nine partaking European countries delivering a huge Euro Millions jack-pot. With the quantity of countries joining the EU on the increase, this will without a doubt lead to new countries partaking in the EuroMillions lottery. An increase in the number of people partaking in the Euromillions Lottery will result in a continuing increase of the already immense Euro Millions jackpots.

The new regulations also initiated Euro Lottery Super Draw which go on twice yearly and offer jack-pots in the region of 100 million pounds. The difference with Super Draws is that the jackpot has to be won during the week of the lottery draw; this means, if there is no ticket matching, all the numbers drawn and the top prize will be allotted to the lotto ticket holder(s) in the next winning prize level.

Each and every participant has to pick out 5 primary numbers from one to fifty and 2 Lucky-star numbers from one to nine. During the lotto draw, five main and 2 lucky-star numbers are then chosen at random from 2 lotto draw machines containing numbered lottery balls.

Telef

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

Though the GMSA has reported that no UK firm has yet confirmed that it will be introducing LTE-enabled services any time soon, recent events, including tests by Telefnica, indicate that the technology may soon see a real world launch.

LTE is the next level of mobile communication and promises speeds upwards of 100 Mb, which is almost ten times the speed currently available to mobile broadband users (click for a mobile broadband speed check). Most industry observers agree that it is a revolutionary technology, which would help in increasing the reach and appeal of mobile broadband.

Telefnica, a Spanish telco, has conducted its first LTE tests. The tests were carried out at its facility in Madrid and the company is optimistic that a real-world roll out of LTE is just around the corner. The tests included bandwidth-heavy applications such as video conferencing and image downloads.

By conducting these tests, Telefnica is not only demonstrating its commitment to innovation, and its dominance in the marketplace, but also gathering critical data for taking the technology forward.

The GSMA had earlier said that 26 telecom providers have hinted that they would be launching LTE based services in the next year, and with the Telefnica tests, it seems the technology is one step closer to a real world launch.

Graduation Diplomas For All

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009


graduation diplomas


Graduation diplomas are given to students who have been studying in a certain institution for a specific period of time and after qualifying for the discipline are awarded certificates of graduation diplomas from their respective institutions. Graduation Ceremonies, sometimes called commencements are carried out to celebrate awarding of graduation certificates are different in various institutions. Normally, the ceremony takes place in the academic institution that is awarding the students for their academic achievements. Speeches can be made by professors, teachers and some of the top students and after, the are handed to the students as their names are called out one after another.

The graduate degrees are awarded by a very important person, either a university president or vice chancellor to the institution. Some institutions do not give the authentic certificate but a copy; this is because the certificate is very important and any loss or damage could affect someone’s life after school. The original certificate is later given in a ceiled envelope to the students. Graduation diplomas in some institutions do not come easily; one has to apply for them early in advance, maybe two semesters before the actual ceremony date. When applying or filling the graduation form, a fee has to be paid and the audit offices checks for clearance for all the requirements needed to receive the graduation certificate. Some schools toss their hats or caps after they have been awarded the certificates.

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

The healthcare profession term an enlarged prostate gland benign prostate hyperplasia, or BPH. In simple terms this actually means the prostate gland, a mass which wraps around the urethra and lies just beneath the bladder, becomes larger and can compromise and block the stream of urine. As males age, the prostate grows and can create symptoms for example trouble in passing urine, a reduced flow, and also the holding of residual urine inside the bladder. Frequent trips to the bathroom interrupting sleep and infections of the urinary pathway may additionally be arise from prostate gland swelling.

What Is An Enlarged Prostate? Benign Prostate Hypertrophy is considered a frequent condition of males in their sixties. Annual tests are urged for all males in their 50’s and beyond, regardless of the occurence of problems, to help sustain better prostatic wellness. Look For medical treatment immediately if the urine or you are unable to pass water.

Orthodox therapies for an enlarged prostate may be surgical operations or medication. Nevertheless, impotence or incontinence can be observed as a result of a surgical procedure.
