A friend of mine asked me a question a few days that keeps rattling around in my brain. I’ve talked on this blog and at the First Class Lounge Forum at TaxLoopholes about my million dollar mistake. Basically, I got caught up in the glamour of writing a book and doing interviews, that I let [...]

Part of having a successful business means being able to always have a Plan B ready to go. I think we may be on to Plan D already after last week. A big part of the BusinessToInvestment challenge is the websites. And that means I rely heavily on Jorge’s crew at LatAmConnect. Last week, Jorge was [...]

One of my strategies has always been to build a database. For every business activity - is this making money? and if not, is this building my database?

I was never one of those “Dear Diary” types, but I love to read memoirs. This blog, BusinessToInvestment, was set originally to be my notes for the journey for a million dollars in 2 years or less. It’s been almost 6 months now and we have a few websites making money, but by and large, [...]

I have just a couple of sites that I keep watch on, but I find that someone with moderator control needs to be regularly checking.

I’m going to start off this post with telling you what my family did last night. Hang in there, I think it will all make sense in the end. We’re spending more time in San Diego these days. We have a place that’s a half block from a secluded beach. Only the neighbors seem to [...]

I did a lot of investigation and finally jumped into an direct sale program. If you’ve read my other posts, this one made sense to me for the following reasons: (1) It sold something that people already needed. I didn’t need to talk anyone into it. ANSWER: Almost everyone sends cards. And if you’re a business [...]

I’ve spent the last few days getting ready for the seminar this weekend (Loopholes of the Rich Charity Weekend) and in meetings, meetings, meetings. We’re refining and expanding our TaxLoopholes brand. That will probably be a 3 month project that I’ll keep you posted on. For BusinessToInvestment (B-I), the Million Dollar Journey, I’ve gotten side-tracked with all [...]
