Just got done watching the girls win gold and silver in the individuals in gymnastics in Beijing – did you see it?  And after I mumbled a tad about the scoring, I wondered how much higher they may have scored.  But since they won – I stopped worrying.

And this week I took the camera along on my beach walk and hope the message inspires you as much as the lesson did me.  Enjoy – and please comment.

How to Save in a Down Economy

I have a very special report for you at the bottom of this article; a secret I discovered while down in the Amazon Jungle. But first…

Yesterday, I counted at least three stories in the Wall Street Journal that told of hope in this wild economy. One of special interest was the cost of oil dropping, making the Dow Jones rise over 300 points!

Now before you think I dive into the financials, relax. I love the WSJ because it has a ton a good feature stories and is very global. Another story told how the housing market was showing a glimmer of hope. Wow! That IS good news, no?

But what I want to talk to you about today is how you can make cash work harder for you than it ever has before. I mean really making that George Washington squeek!

Yes, I heard all the bad affirmations when I was growing up, like “money doesn’t grow on trees” and everything about how to count pennies. It was Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, and their various economies and we, as a family were not wealthy. But at the same time, we, as kids, were never taught to save anything.

The thought at the time was that there was not enough left over to save. And because we kept thinking that way – our thoughts were manifested.

But I made a discovery while we were down in Brazil, in the dark Amazon Jungles, and later found that it was a huge law of the “universe.” God set these things up, and it’s amazing how if we follow them, we benefit big time.

So I want to share this with you, because I know it will help you get the most value from your dollar during these times. And I want you to put the secret to the test for 90 days – and then report back to me. Let me know how it worked for you.

Because you are one of my blog readers and are on my newsletter list, I want you to have this report for only $2.00. But after 10 days I am going to raise the price to $7.00, the same as all of my other reports. And there’s a no-risk guarantee – if you don’t believe it is worth that – simply ask me for a refund. But it’s worth so much more because if you put it to use, you will see how money will flow to you.

OK, I know you’ll be happy with it, so here’s the order button:


I Just Learned a Great Time Saver

Actually, I’ve been using this time saver for a few months now.  Something I learned back in early June.  The whole premise is while working at something, if you can focus for two hours, you save a ton of time.  And I know that sounds simplistic, so let me explain – at least how I do it.

Oh, before I forget, I need a few helpers.  I can hear you saying – you don’t have time, so how could you lend a hand here?  Well, what I am looking for is something you may already do.  What I am looking for is a contributor to the blog here.  Some of you have been huge contributors as commentors, so this might be right for you.

And what do you get for it?  Well, I can’t pay you yet, but I want you to know that your articles will be seen by hundreds of subscribers on my mailing list, and people who visit the website.  Your entries will have your name and people will be able to contact you – even though your email address won’t be on the website.

I’m looking for contributions on observations on life, network marketing, success, and human interest.  So if you are interested, please let me know and I can get you started immediately.

Now, back to time saving.

Here’s the deal.  It has been found that the body works best in blocks of two hours.  If you can start your day doing the most important thing you need to get done, and stick with it – focused – for two hours, you will get tons of work done.

Then, take a break for about 10 to 15 minutes.  And then get back into it.

I am creating an ebook on this time management system that will help anyone in a fun and easy way get control of their time.  It will be available soon – and I’ll let you know right here.

You know, one thing that blew me away with the study of time was that after the two hours, you know how you get sleepy or sluggish and reach for a coffee?  Gotta have my coffee…

Well, the current study is that your body actually needs to take a quick time-out during those 10 to 15 minutes and coffee will actually starve your body from the rest it needs.  So you end up becoming more tired, and worn out by the end of the day.

Just try this and tell me how it works for you.  I’ve been doing it and it works wonders.  Work for two straight hours – focused and really staying on track.  Then take a little break – maybe eat a little snack.  But no pick me ups!  Then get back into it.

Sure, you can have a cup later on – but when you are feeling that little sleepy feeling and think that a cup of coffee is the answer – let your body rest for a bit.  Let me know what happens.

Hey, more tips coming your way to help you be more successful and if you can please help me here, with contributions, I would like to hear from you.  Thanks!
