My 2 New B-I Projects

Friday, July 18, 2008

0 Comments

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 [...]

Making Money on the Internet

Tuesday, July 15, 2008

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 [...]

For those of you that know me, even if it’s just through this blog and the one at TaxLoopholes,you know that I hate to recommend anything unless I’ve thoroughly researched it. A while ago I started researching direct sales companies.  I’ve seen the model work, again and again.  For people who work the plan for 4-5 [...]

There are a couple of books that have really changed my thinking recently about the future of business.  One is “Meatball Sundae” by Seth Godin.  I’m doing a Learning Circle on this over at the First Class Lounge Forum on TaxLoopholes.com.   There were literally hundreds of walk-away ah-ha’s that I had from this book.

Thanks to the eagle eye of luckystar on the TaxLoopholes forum (http://www.TaxLoopholes.com), I picked up a 4 letter domain on eBay.  We had a little bit of fun trying to figure out what it could actually be used for - it’s DKDB.  So Diane Kennedy’s ____  ______  is definitely a possibility.   I was surprised to [...]

Game Plan for July

July is typically a lot like June and August for my CPA business - slow.  I’ve done this for a lot of years now and we always experience the summer doldrums.  As soon as the kids go back to school, though - look out!  It’s flat against the wall until next summer.  I used to [...]

In yesterday’s blog, I got some great feedback on the need to set up a website about me, not my company. I agree, by the way.  But, it got me thinking about powerful people and companies in the educational, motivational, growth and wealth arenas.  Most, I think, have a brand based on them. Stephen Covey - anybody [...]

Landing Pages versus Fresh Content

Monday, June 2, 2008

I’ve become something of a Landing Pages nut lately.  Every time I have a new sales campaign, I want a landing page.  If I do an interview, I think, “Wait!  I need a landing page to send people to…”  The landing page gives you just 1 (or maybe 2) CTAs (call to actions) so it [...]
