COMPETITION!

Hey bloggers! Sorry for the delay, but I've been busy building up my customer base for my new business, and its going pretty well :). Like I've mentioned in previous posts and on facebook too; if the state of the world economy looks bad create your own economy and build a business. I've taken that to heart and I fully believe that my situation is turning around even as you read this. Matter of fact, if you'd like to see what I have to offer check out my website yourself: www.thedkshop.com. Aside in my foundation building for my business, I've been making some good gains on the track. I had my first meet last weekend. I don't know what time I officially ran, but the race felt pretty good. I had a decent start and pressed through the first 3 hurdles and maintained on the back stretch pretty well. Im was able to press a little more down the back stretch, but I started to get too comfortable and relaxed. By 300m I was out in front feeling pretty good, but subconsciously allowed my body to slow down which resulted in an unfortunate ending. I was passed up the last 10 meters for a 2nd place finish. I was pretty upset with myself for relaxing soo much and allowing my competitors a second chance. Fortunately, there is another day to compete and always a chance to learn from your mistakes. This next race I'll make good on getting out hard and pressing the back stretch all the way through the finish line. My next race is going to be tomorrow at around 4pm. I'll have an update for you all coming up shortly after the meet. Until later yall. This is the life of a man chasing his dreams. DK

Investments: You Choose, but Choose the Right One

Hey bloggerz!

Im back with a little something to meditate, a note to think on, and hopefully motivate you. Selah.

The last post was a bit of overflow that I've been acquiring the past few months through the active, yet very rewarding feat of conquering books. Since I've been out of school and no longer have to read books, I've realized how momentous they can be to one's life. The greatest thing to invest in is yourself, your own mind. Books have the power to shape the way we think about things and can give us insight as to things that will either stunt or propel our growth. Since I've read a few books, I notice how simple some of the techniques are to put into play - for that matter how often I remember hearing them growing up. I believe that only when you start to analyze the information in a book for yourself in a way where you can apply it to your life that we realize significance of words, creating a desire for more of them. So thats exactly what I've been up to lately.

Going along with the latest post I want to educate everyone reading about making money effectively. I have been blessed with an ability and desire to teach people and explain things. This is something I believe many people need to know, so hopefully you have stopped by purposefully or accidentaly and will take away valuable understanding from this post.

Aside from investing in myself, I've decided to give investing a sure shot. After some careful analysis of risks and benefits I decided to invest in a business model. For those of you who may not be too business savy there are four main ways to create income. The first two are very active ways whereby you devote time for dollars and only time invested, each week say, will amount to dollars earned. So number 1 way people make money is to become an employee of someone or some company. The other active way to create income is to start your own traditional business where you have to invest your money (or the bank's) along with a substantial amount of time in order to generate income. Mind you, although the traditional business approach is a great way to earn a good income as your own boss more that 50% of businesses fail within 2 years and the other 50% will either fail within the next year or "break even" (earn as much money as they invested) within 3 more years. So statistically, all businesses, if they survive long enough, generally require 5 years to break even. That doesn't sound like something I can afford to do, so what are the last two ways to make money?

Glad that you asked and are still tuned in! The next way to make money is a passive creation of income: investments. Yes at first you may study the ways to invest and what markets or industries are heavily invested or soon to grow cash cows, but after you make your initial investment you can sit back and do a few clicks on your computer to watch your money grow. The problem with investments is that they are SO risky. The stock markets move in cycles and are constantly in a up down transition. Also, investments depend a lot on what news and events are going on around the globe. *As you can see in the Middle East and East-African countries, their protests are driving our gas prices up, WAY UP.

So you may think well how else can I make money without worrying about someone telling me what to do, without the fear of bankruptcy or loss of investment, and without the immeasurable risk in the stock market? The 4th and final way to make money is to create or invest in a business model. This passive form of income is an idea im sure you've heard of: creating residual income. Residual income is money that comes in regardless of if you continue to put more work in or not. A business model is one where you link your success to others' success and by so doing, create an exponential ability to create income. How many of you know that one person can only make so much money by themselves. That is why people employ others to do the simple foundational work while their net worth increases. This form of income may take a little while to establish enough income to where you can live solely off of it. However, when the foundation is created it can work wonders for your financial and personal freedom.

I have recently decided to invest in a business model myself through the great team of LTD. Through LTD I market products from huge companies like Best Buy, Barnes & Nobel, Amway Global, and Office Depot to name a few, to consumers in need of those products, which in turn allows me to make money. Now Im not advocating any schemes or scams. A legal residual income business should allow you the freedom of making more money than the person sponsoring you if you do more work; success based on your own terms (i.e. personal goals and ambitions); a limited risk for investing-similar to a franchising model; and also allow you to withdraw from the program within a trial period to determine if it is for you (with a full refund in the process). Now the LTD team Im hooked up with allows me all of this and is a legitimate way to make some extra money.
