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 [...]

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? And to be honest, there is something rather nice to sit around with the “big boys” and talk about the size of my database. So, there’s some ego [...]

Multiply Your Online Sales by 100 Times or More This Year I guess I’m on the theme of “trail” right now. One of my best strategies has been to find people who are really successful at something and then figure out what they did. Thanks to luckystar at TaxLoopholes’s First Class Lounge Forum, I found a book [...]

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, [...]

My last post was about the disappearing middle class. I’ve been thinking more about that concept. In 1989, the Internet began. I believe that’s also when the Berlin wall came down. Most scholars say that the Information Age began in 1989, pointing to the beginning of the Internet. When economies move from one time to [...]

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. [...]

I am a bit of a stats junkie. I love trying something and see what happens. I’ve been dancing around the whole MLM concept and when a friend’s income suddenly popped a few months ago, I finally got off the fence and jumped in. The thing I like about this particular opportunity is even if you [...]

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 [...]

There is a 4 step process to Business Alchemy. First: Find your eCenter. Figure out what your business model is going to be. Create multiple sources of passive income. Better leverage your time so you’re making thousands per hour instead of just hundreds per hour. But, that’s not the only step. In fact, that’s the [...]
