Choking on Opportunity
A saying I use a lot is “The problem isn’t lack of opportunity, it’s choking on opportunity.” Over the past 2 weeks, I’ve been working on a business plan with a friend of mine. We both conservatively estimate that we could make $1 mill each over 2 -3 years with it. So, would you do [...]

Sunday, January 18, 2009
I have a new phrase for the next 90 days - Peak Performance! We just finished up the first quarter of Diane’s Mastermind. This is new program that we rolled out last fall (Fall 2007). This one would be true to Napoleon Hill’s original premise - dedicated to creating a master mind. Note that’s two [...]

Thursday, September 11, 2008
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 [...]

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, [...]

Tuesday, August 5, 2008
There are a couple of us through Business to Investment that have signed up at SendOutCards. I’m using it as a very effective way to encourage referrals through my business. Plus, it’s a way to make money when you sign others up. We’re all using different strategies to build the business. I’ve always like a [...]

Sunday, July 27, 2008
In 1989, the Information Age began. My son is only two years younger than the dawn of this revolutionary new time. I spent the last few days researching the social and economic changes that came about as a result of the Industrial Age and finally, this morning, I had the ah-ha I was looking for. I [...]

I didn’t post yesterday not because I didn’t have anything to say, but because I had TOO MUCH to say and couldn’t focus. That’s a common issue for me, though. I think it has something to do with being a big QuickStart. **If you haven’t taken your Kolbe test yet, I really recommend it. Everyone [...]

Saturday, April 19, 2008
One of my favorite phrases is “The problem isn’t lack of opportunity, it’s choking on opportunity.” So, today, Saturday, I’m thinking about shuffling priorities AGAIN on my websites. RIght now, the next one up will be a landing page to go along with a series of articles I’m doing for a very focussed, niche market [...]

Sunday, April 13, 2008
It seems like my key word is “focus.” Right now I’m trying to juggle my CPA practice (and it’s two days before tax returns or extensions are due), TaxLoopholes (in a changing market), and this web project - both at an individual website level and a ‘meta level’. The biggest challenge is that I keep [...]
