Having a Plan B
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 [...]

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’m set up with w3counter.com for stats. I love looking at where people come from that visit my sites. Here at B-I, the latest results (in order) are: United States, Argentina (because of Jorge’s crew, I’m sure), Canada, United Kingdom, India and Australia. At DKTaxServices: US, Argentina, UK, Canada, India, Jamaica and Egypt. Somehow I [...]

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. At the TaxLoopholes First Class Lounge Forum, largely because it’s a subscription based model, there isn’t that much moderation needed. We don’t get hit with the spammers. I did have [...]

My husband Richard is a semi-reformed microelectronic engineer. He has a PhD in ceramics and worked with semi-conductors. (Little pun there) Around here we have a saying “Shoot the engineer and ship the product” That’s because some engineers (like my husband, who I adore) will keep tweaking until the day they die. They are never finished. [...]

Thursday, August 7, 2008
It’s not quite ready, but I can’t help myself from talking about the project that Jorge and I have been working on for a few months now. First a little history: My Journey to a Million Dollars has gotten side-tracked and re-focussed a half dozen times. Nine months ago I had a significant part of my [...]

I often run into first time business owners who are trying desperately to break out of their W-2 lifestyles. In fact, they’re going to try EVERYTHING! They start a service business (typically taking the skill they are employed for and turning it into something they can be self-employed at), dabble in real estate, set up [...]

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 been speaking at seminars now for over 10 years. I started doing my own about 8 years ago. They are a great way to meet, network and reconnect with your clients and prospective clients. But, wow, do they take a lot of energy! Generally, I don’t get much else done the week before an [...]

Early on in this challenge, Jorge posted an article on 29 ways to make money on the Internet. At the time, I remember thinking that it was so easy to just make money out of “nothing” (or rather just the flow of electrons). Now, 3 months into this project, I find that I’m again reassessing [...]
