passion and my story of doing what I love

I've started saying how to find your passion but I haven't said anything about how I found my passions so here is my story.

My love of helping others started from my other passion, making jewelry.
  I met a family and I could see that they were hard working, smart and honest.
 One of them was J, now Jay needed my help, he was a very smart guy but he felt insignificant in his family so I started spending time with him and talking, I think his acceptance of me helped me a great deal too.
J got help from me and now he knows that he should base his identity not on me or his family but on God and his choices, I gave him and his brothers some of my jewelry and it felt so much better then selling it, it's fine if they loose it, it's theirs.

I got into jewelry by making my first necklace, it turned out really great and pushed me to make more I found that making men's jewelry gave me pleasure so now I want to start making a business with my passion.

I'm an original thinker, that's why I want to help others to start their business on here for free and in person for 10% of their earnings for the first five years.

I want to be independent from work 🏢 so alongside starting business' I want to patent and license products, this way I will do what I love what I do, help others, be creative and be independent.

To be an entrepreneur you must think outside the box

Grind (hard work) will get you far but a more important thing to have is grind. Grit will help you work hard and succeed but grind is the creative bit of you that will give you creative ideas on how to use a difficulty to your advantage, improve your business in a creative way and make your business above the rest.


Grind over Grit!

Why I decided to build a series of small businesses instead of large ones.

The government will control us more and more by building many business' I won't loose all of them when everything goes south (pardon the pun Texas).

smaller is easier. If I build a small business I can hire a manager and start a new one.

less is more. By building smaller I can make each business focus on quality over quantity.

I hope you enjoyed my post, good luck!

Free business advice

Every town has a town hall, in that town hall is a lawyer that you have the legal right to use! (you pay his salary through taxes), ask him any questions about starting a business (after you have an appointment). Another thing that's at town hall is a meeting for business minded people (depends on the town), if that didn't convince you then you need some motivational training. Good luck!

How to find your business passion

Think about what you have experience in.
This could be a hobby or a job writ it down.

Think of more then one hobby or job, now think about the list you wrote down and figure out which of these are most pleasurable too you. Now figure out what these things have in common, figure out what job or business you can do with the abilities that you discovered.

Good luck with your passion!

how to be fasionable as aa man in and our of business

For some reason I've always had a great fashion sense.
Here's how I dress, I choose mostly dark colors
and then I wear one colorful thing for contrast usually read (a bandana works if you wear it like a bracelet).

In business I always wear a dress shirt (any color) ironed jeans, a watch and necklace.

Originality

when you use these styles always remember that your style has to fit you not the other way around.

this is just a guideline, make it your own!

Passion and it's role in business

My opinion on pre to high school


I believe that the school system is very flawed, teachers don't explain the why, they explain the because that's the way it is, it's not their fault it's the way they have to teach.


Most schools teach once (very badly) and remind (memorization) four times, this system works well for tests but not for actual learning.


Passion is a tool
Passion is what drives us, motivates us and pushes us to greatness. Don't go to college, build your passion and let it push you to greatness!

The power of "because"

If you want to become rich you have too become persuasive.


To get other people to do what you want and sound credible? Use the word "because"
One of the best ways to get other people to do what you want them to? And to sound credible? Use the word "because. In 1998 Ellen Langer (a psychologist at Harvard) completed a study on "because" asking people to cut in line to the copy machine. Learn the power of "because" and
if you use it right you will become rich.
Langer tested 3 different ways of asking people to let her cut ahead. Here’s what she found:
Way 1: Excuse me, I have 5 pages. May I use the Xerox machine?
•Result: 60% said YES.
Way 2: Excuse me, I have 5 pages. May I use the Xerox machine because I’m in a rush?
•Result: 94% said YES.
Adding the magic word because, immediately boosted the effectiveness of her request by a remarkable amount.
Way 3: Excuse me, I have 5 pages. May I use the Xerox machine because I have to make some copies?
•Result: 93% said YES.
The word because is so powerful that it didn't even matter if the reasons provided were compelling.
I recently conducted my own little modern day Xerox study. I sent out 2 emails, asking people to respond to a simple question.
E-mail 1:  Please respond.
E-mail 2: Please respond, because I need an answer. 
•Result: Email #2 got double the response!
So, if you want to be rich: be specific in your assertions -- many people will let you get ahead if you just ask. Then say that magic word because -- a larger majority are likely to say yes.
Because people want reasons for doing what they are doing, persuasive people are able to jump ahead and get rich. Almost any reason will do.

wht the article will not be about business today

I've been having problems with the relationship with my mother.
guess it's because I haven't wanted to live with my family for the past two years now but my Lyme keeps me with them. My mother had a one sided argument with me yesterday morning and the stress it caused in my neck and shoulders hasn't left yet!

But enough about my life tomorrow I will write an article about a magic word "because" and how to open does with this word.

Some clarity on passive income

Passive income is not easy until you start and automate!

First find an area, I'm thinking resale
First the work:
 Find a niche (some untapped market that can be tapped), find a supplier, get samples to test the quality!
 Get orders then order from the supplier (not the other way around!).
Get the best price (usually called the "jobber" price)
After trusting the company set up a deal with amazon (Amazon keeps your stock and sends it out to buyers)
The supplier trusts you by now and sends more stock to Amazon for orders

Boom you're passive income positive!  What to do next?  Start the next passive income setup or sit back for a year or more, third option invest the profit!

And more passive income!

Save by getting rebates when you shop online

When you shop online, go through Shop through Ebates http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?referrerid=Hry7t5nfsGHXOGISmXjTCg%3D%3D.  By buying through this site you save by earning gift cards over time.

Use swagbucks.com earn while you search

By using swagbucks to search you earn points which you can exchange into prizes.                                Google is so great! But earning money for searching is a better way to go if you want to earn money for doing something you already do!

Invest in real estate

To set this passive income you will need to invest at first.                                                This Passive income takes a lot of work to start but the payoff is worth it.                        To set up this passive income buy some land, build some houses and rent them out.    Second option, buy some worn out or run down houses fix them up and rent them out  Third option buy some houses from bankrupt people or a bank,fix them up and rent out.     For a higher earning get your land reclassified as private property and skip the property taxes (I hope I researched it right).

My business plan

There are a lot of variables to  business plans,
some things don't happen some unexpected things do.
So instead of a business plan write a business outline down.

On the side of all this I will be licensing ideas

I have Multiple Sclerosis.

Get better so I can work(80% done)
Save 3k (could windup being 1k or less)
Make and sell men's jewelry on Etsy   (save,save,save!)
Publish a post on "how to get and stay rich" everyday(100% right now)
License my business
Hire workers
make profit
hire a manager

End goal  (always have an end goal!)

Own enough Licensing deals to have the money and time to work on my hobbies

Create and sell enough businesses so I don't have to worry about money

Move to a cheap fiber internet, electricity, and land city

Get married

To become successful you should work hard or smart for instance instead of spending a lot on the legalities of starting a business just use leagalzoom.com the smart but inexpensive blog posts.

To run a successful blog

Running a successful blog requires:

Don't get a loan
Many business's have attained greatness by working both hard and smart, with little more then meager living  expenses.

Stop being afraid of the unknown and the future
I'v almost died over a hindered times, I've been in 8 car accidents.  Just a dangerous life, the point I'm trying to make is "if the pros outweigh the cons then go for it!

A business can be started with 300-100 dollars

I knew one guy that started a programming company (biggest in the US now) with very little money, the company is now worth ten's of millions.  Some optional things  are worth a  hell of a lot if you actually do them.

The town hall in any city has a lawyer, financial help and seminars, go to city hall    and get the advice and help you need to start your business!

Cash back, reward cards and air miles

Some credit cards pay 5% cash back back every time you make a purchase and give you the savings quarterly or yearly, that is money that could be kept in your pocket!                       Some Reward cards work much the same way, they give back when you spend.  Invest the savings into some passive income and earn more then a return!  

Travel mile cards will pay you mils every time you make a purchase, some travel mile cards have an added bonus for signing up, 5,7 and even 8 thousand air miles are added when you sign up, the con here is that you need to spend different amounts  depending on the card to get the bonus miles but with a large enough family that shouldn't be a problem. 

The last post was a bit short

A little wisdom I came up with and follow.
1. I can do anything with God. 
2.Anything is possible the question is, how can I do it.
3.Question not only why it's impossible but also why it could be possible.
4.Question everything, accept nothing!

Dividends stocks and funds

Dividends are company stocks, the more you own the more you will earn (four times a year!).

If you invest in stocks that pay dividends you'll  earn money every quarter and the more you own the more you will earn!  You could invest in stocks from a company that is going to be great and earn a bunch more in the years to come. Jlab, I can't think of any other one. But try to invest in startups and companies that have long histories of increasing their dividend payouts each year

The risk is pretty low in the short and long term, unless the company goes bankrupt  but if it's a large enough company it will just be bailed out by the government. 

Lending money to earn a passive income

Basically you can lend (invest) money like a bank to people you don't know and Lending Club will take care of the rest, the lowest amount you can invest is $25 (not that much).  

The highest risk loan (risk meaning you could lose some or all of it) will earn 5.49% over one year and the riskiest loan will earn 13.55% over one year. 

So if you have the guts to get into this, then do it!

Post on passive investment, earning and profiting

My first post should be read before you read this one so you get a more rounded understanding of passive incomes.

Savings with higher interest rates

An easy passive income is saving and earning with a bank that has higher interest rates.                   Ally bank may not be the most credible bank but it was rated "Best Bank" by Money Magazine in 2012 so I'll take the plunge.  No monthly fees, no minimum balance and an APY rate of 0.99%, not the highest but you'll save enough that it won't matter much.

CD's 

No not Compact disks, CD's are an investment system for your and every bank.

A CD is a long term savings investment, here's an explanation: 

Time     return      the money made off of $2,000

1 year   (3.00%)         $60            

2 years (3.25%)         $65

3 years (3.50%)         $70

4 years (3.75%)         $75

5 years (4.00%)         $80

If you have some money saved up then invest in this system. 

Resale

To start reselling like a boss (buying from a manufacturer and selling, ebay, amazon, to a store) you need to know:

1.How to get the best price

2.how to decide what to buy

3. how to make it automatic

How to get the best price.

To get the best price get a business account at your bank and a business phone number on your phone (for credibility), buy  sample from the company (to judge the quality). 

 Build a relationship with the company and eventually ask for the "jobber" price (the best price).

How to decide what to buy

Go to amazon.com and find the highest selling page, skim through it, find the thing you can buy cheaper and sell cheaper.  Buy that thing from alibaba.com and import it, you know the rest (sell!).

How to make it automatic
Once you have ironed out all the kinks, set up a deal with your supplier.  The supplier sends a certain amount of the product to amazon, amazon keeps it in their warehouse and send it to the buyer.

Viola! you are now set for life!

Why and how you should control addictions

First look at addictions, an addiction is anything that enslaves or gets in the way of productivity.
An addiction can be anything from music to food.

The reason for aquireing control over your addiction is no longer being controlcontrolled by your addiction, it no longer gets in the way of your dreams.

Deling with different addictions.
  First to calm you down my addiction is pornography,  some addicting are bad for your health and take a lot of your time.
We'll pornography is mine, addictions have a one size fits all characteristic, they start to become dull and week but by that time they have you.

How I will deal with my addiction
If I can stay away from pornography for one day I'm doing good but I can stay away for a week, the thing that is hard is quitting and not returning.

Marijuana is a hard one (especially since I've only done it once and I didn't get high so I don't full understand it).
Quit for a month if you can do that you have control and can do it sometimes (where it won't interrupt your life).

 Think like an entrepreneur,  "before you say something is impossible, look at why it can be possible and how you can make it possible".
You can use this technique to assess your beliefs and assess your ad others theories.

As always good luck!

One of the biggest tips I can give

Find yourself a business mentor, the reason behind this advice is "learn from failures of others so you don't have to go through them".
Another reason why you should have a mentor is if anything goes wrong you can always brainstorm with him which helps you figure out the best course of action.

Using Etsy.com to make money

There are plenty of ways to make money on Etsy

The first is just opening a shop.    

The easiest way to do that is to log in with Facebook or google.

After you open a shop choose a design for your store! It should be simple but eye capturing.

A few tips for success 
Make something that's unique and can be done everyday without getting repetitive (a creative hobby).

Keep your work time schedule  (otherwise you'll hate it and destroy your hobby, then quit).

There are plenty of excellent websites for this kind of business but I choose to write about Etsy.com because it's the most popular
 (more customers), the problem with this Is the overpopulation of diy enthusiasts  (so make your business stick out by making your store unique).

Good luck!

So you want to get rich?

My first post will be about types of income and general ways to be successful.

Work, passive income, patents, business, investing and kickstarter!

Work
Work is probably the place you realize you should start a business, if not then it's the place where you love working and earn enough to fuel that passion.

Passive income
Passive income is basically money that gets generated with your energy to start and then a very small amount of your time.
Passive income can be a website that grows in value, a patent that you get payed a royalty for every month, an ebook that people buy on amazon or Google books or anything that makes you money with a little bit of time dedicated to it or no time at all.

Patents
So you want to invent the next Lazer tag or the next Lego or knex.
Invent a lot of ideas and write down the date on them
(very important).
Once you have an idea study "one simple idea" by Stephen Key (he's a genius and the person to learn from).
Now one book to study (also by stephen key) is "sell your idea with or without a patent".   From these books you will learn that you can get a provisional patent (a one year patent) for $80 for the first five and $100 for the ones after that, from te moment you patent your idea you have one year to license it to a company before the patent expires.

To sell an idea to a company you need to 
A.  Find a good fit (a company that is involved in the category of your idea)
B.  Write a sell sheet (a 30 second speech that you will sell the  idea, make a bunch of sketches so you can explain your idea better).
C. A nondisclosure agreement (so the company can't steal your Idea)
D. To contact the person you will have to sell to just call the company and ask for the PR manager (explain your situation) and they will put you through to a person you should schedule a meeting or Skype conference with.
E. Dress very well, a formal shirt, a pair of pressed jeans or black pants, comb your hair, tuck in your shirt, use some cologne, rehearse what you're going to say but memorize the key points.
To sell an idea to a company you need to
A.  Find a good fit (a company that is involved in the category of your idea)
B.  Write a sell sheet, a 30 second speech and email that you will sell the  idea with and 3 sketches so you can explain your idea better.
C.  A nondisclosure agreement (so the company can't steal your Idea)
D.  Call the company's headquarters and ask for a place to submit your idea, usually that will be the PR manager (public relations manager).
E.  Call to Set up an in person meeting or Skype video conference or submit your idea via a submission form on the companies website.

Business
Register business name at city hall (gets you a business liscense)  (perhaps a retail liscense)
3. Research banks for best business account
4. Get personal, credit account (for proof of honesty, trustworthiness) and a business account at a bank
5. Print business cards (staples, Vista print or officemax)
6. Get two phone numbers on the same cell phone (one for business and one for  personal  calls)
7. Work on a relationship with one wholesale company to get better prices, the best price is called the "jobber price".
8. Once you have enough money take risks  on investments (pay'pays  more).
11. Liscense ideas on the side so you have a second source of income (passive income)

 During all this work on provisional patents.  Write a page or five every day and  move on till you publish after five or six revisions.

Note.  This is not going to be fun, this is going to be hard work

Start a business,  (retail)
Save by eating cheap.  Eat oatmeal, fruit and dark green vegetables.
Have a tablet and laptop only.  Use Internet at local coffee shop ordering only a glass of water and the cheapest item on the menu.

Once you earn enough start another business, hire and teach managers how to run the business on their own, give raises and instructions.

Investing
Use "Robin hood" or some other small treading app until you get good.  When you get good invest up to 4% of your savings in a "sure" thing investment.

Kickstarter
Start by figuring out what business you want to fund (something new)
Exposure, make a website, send interview opportunities to online newspapers, YouTube interviews (skype).  Setup a deal with a Chinese manufacturer  (to make your product)  hire a tax lawyer ($60) so you don't have to pay any taxes on your project.  Setup a deal with a store to sell your product.  Use shipwire to ship your product (really cheap and really good).

Hopefully this will help you with your endeavors.
