Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.

Top Ten Healthy Home Trends for 2010

BATTELLE EXPERTS PREDICT THE TOP TEN HEALTHY HOME TRENDS FOR 2010
Should we be walking around our homes wearing blue decontamination suits? Not quite yet, but the health of our homes will be a challenge at the forefront of home technology in the coming years. Nasty spores, mites and bacteria may fall victim to an explosion of new home products like self-sanitizing materials and air or water purifiers. People could be taking care of routine health monitoring from their homes instead of the doctor's office.
The carbon monoxide monitors and home security alarms we use today are considered the first generation in the wave of home health and security trends on the horizon. "The market is here for these types of products in the health conscious Baby Boomer generation. People are concerned about maintaining their health and want to make sure they take every step in their own homes to do so," said Steve Millett, Thought Leader and Futurist for Battelle. "Technologists are working on these home products now and you'll see them become a reality by 2010." A group of Battelle scientists and researchers have pinpointed the Top Ten Trends in Healthy Homes for 2010. They are, in order of importance:

What's Your Definition of Wealth?

The Definition of Wealth is in the Eyes of the Beholder. What's Your Definition of Wealth?In order to become wealthy you must first define what true wealth is. The word wealth can mean different things to different people:
The Merriam Webster Dictionary (New Edition): 1: Abundance of possessions or resources: Affluence, Riches 2: Abundant supply: 3: All property that has a money or exchange value: All objects or resources that have an economic value syn fortune, property, substance, worth. Robert Kiyosaki: "The number of days you can survive without physically working and still maintain your chosen standard of living." Jon Bender: In his book, In God We Trust, "Real wealth is living in gratitude; gratitude begins in trusting God in all things." Sir John Templeton: "Riches are about asset allocation, wealth is about gratitude." Bible: Matthew: 6:33, Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added to you. In Ruth 2:1, Boaz, a wealthy and influential man shared his harvest with Ruth. How could he have done this if he was poor? In the Bible there are lots of references to wealth but with the warning to not have a "LOVE" of money.
"If God owns the cattle on a thousand hills, and we are His children, these too are part of our inheritance" We believe wealth is much more than just making a lot of money. A brief perspective on wealth from the eyes of . . .

"Mind Hacks" interesting article

I have long been a fan of CNET and their affiliates. I ran across this article today and thought it was pretty interesting... got a lot on mind today and reading something like this, I can't help but put a little thought into how the human brain really works. I have lately been watching my biorythems also. Another interesting subject that intrigues me. Oh well, that's all for now . . .

Time keeps marching on

So today, like most recent days, the kids are off to school. Dad is getting ready for breakfast. I have a whole crap load of things to do today. What is really on my mind is the current weather trend. Cloudy, rainy, cold and blustery - typical fall weather for southern Michigan. I love this time of year because I always enjoyed going back to school. I have fond memories of football season. Going back to school and in the last few years, Salmon fishing. The nights are getting cold and off in the distance I can hear the low hum of the Salmon calling . . . there it goes again. Did ya hear it? Well hopefully I can get up north for some fishing. My brother and my nephew are ready and in need of a weekend retreat. Add my soon to be 15yr old son and we got a Salmon trip. My nephew is going through a really tough time. His girlfriend left him and took their 20 month old daughter to New York, NY where her mother lives. It is a really messsy situation that is affecting everybody around them. I have some very strong felling about the whole thing. I have scars from a similar situation with my sister and her kids. I saw the agonizing hell she went through for ten years and ended up dying befor her time and she passed away a very distressed person. I can't help but feel that because she lost her kids, her life was over long before she died. I guess that my deep down feeling are that even if two people can't work things out, they should have no right to ruin the other persons life by dangling the kids in front of their noses like the preverbial carrot.
I am trying to deal with it. I can't even imagine what my nephew is going thru.
Well thats all for now...

Passport press release

If only you could use Hind Sight as a way to forcast the future. Passport is out of business as of November 17th 2005 . . .

Passport LLC Takes Home Business To A New Level CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA - February 17, 2005Speaking to a live conference call on February 8, 2005, Bo Short, CEO of Passport, LLC, announced a new a 9% associate profit-sharing incentive and the addition of two key leadership positions as part of Passport’s growth and expansion.
Ty Tribble was named President of Passport, LLC effective February 1, 2005. Mr. Tribble has extensive experience in a variety of business start-ups including several e-commerce ventures. Ty first joined the organization as an Independent Associate in March 2003.
Dave Stone was announced as Vice-President of Passport, LLC effective February 1, 2005. Mr. Stone has over twenty years experience in wholesale and retail distribution as well as several years in direct marketing. Stone joined Passport in May 2003 at the Independent Associate level as well.
Passport, LLC was founded in October of 2001 by Robert “Bo” Short after 12 successful years in the direct selling industry. According to Short, “Passport was created to offer people an opportunity that was simple, easy to explain, and fair.” Regarding the addition of Mr. Tribble and Mr. Stone, Short added, “ I am so proud of these two additions to our corporate leadership as I believe they represent the values of our company. They understand that our roles are to serve our Independent Associates, not the other way around.” Bo Short and the innovative Passport business model have put their stamp on the Network Marketing industry, as evidenced by the number of companies that are now attempting to adopt Passport’s “no-hype” philosophy.“My personal goal is to bring Network Marketing from a point of resistance to being embraced by the average person”, says Ty Tribble. “This industry has a less than sterling reputation and, to a large degree, this has been self-inflicted”, adds Dave Stone. Tribble adds, “As an industry, we need to get better at what we do. I believe it starts with reasonable prices and an effective use of today’s technology.”
“This is an exciting time for Passport”, concludes Short. “We have always stated that Passport is about the Independent Associates. Appointing corporate leadership from the associate ranks and empowering our Independent Associates with a 9% profit-sharing bonus program are two more steps to demonstrate that we mean what we say.”

CBS Marketwatch Article

Home-Based Business Opportunity Champions the Real Needs of the Average Person 1/8/2003 12:38:00 PM

MIAMI, Jan 8, 2003 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Most network marketing opportunities appeal to the wildest dreams of an individual: to get rich quick and to work at home. Unfortunately, the reality is quite different in most instances. Passport is a new breed of network marketing opportunity designed to champion the average person.

According to founder, Bo Short, "The network marketing industry is lucrative for a small fraction of participants, and the others are left out in the cold." Short goes on to say, "Network marketing companies tout themselves as home business opportunities, but the home merely serves as a base of operation for people who spend their lives at hotels and convention centers sharing even less time with their families and spending money they do not have in the first place."
After 12 successful years in network marketing, Short found that the industry is seldom fair to the average person. His experience inspired the creation of Passport, Short's answer to everything that is wrong with the network marketing industry. Passport is designed to benefit the masses, and thereby, change the Network Marketing industry forever.
How is Passport able to offer a true-blue home business opportunity? It has to do with several factors including low-priced products and a compensation plan that is easily understood. Most network marketing companies offer overpriced products that are very difficult to sell.
Passport boasts a line of 26 exclusive, specially-formulated products, including nutritional supplements, personal care and skin care items, competitively priced even when compared to items from discount stores such as Wal-Mart.
Passport is also very affordable. Startup is only $39, compared to the hundreds, even thousands required by other network marketing companies. Most importantly, Independent Associates can build their businesses from the privacy of their own homes.
According to Coy Barefoot, industry expert and Wall Street Journal best- selling author, "Passport is a great opportunity. It is my opinion that Passport will set a new standard of excellence in this industry. They have the products, the pricing, the compensation plan, and most importantly, the value-driven ethical leadership to do so."

Passport Delivers

Passport delivers where other MLM's are out in the cold.

There are a lot of things about Passport LLC that attracted me to the opportunity.I have been a part of three other Network Marketing companies. I was told that you had to be teachable. I have always thought of myself as having an open mind when it comes to new ideas. So I am teachable. I was told as long as you do what we tell you and do the things we did you will get what we got. Needless to say, I did the things I heard and bought the things they said to buy, I went to the conventions they said I had better not miss. I really couldn't afford all this stuff and when I questioned this they told me not to worry. Just keep doing the right things and I would be rewarded. It didn't happen. I was able to write off a bunch of stuff at tax time but I never got the money they said would come. I know that I am not alone for this happens everyday.
Passport offers free support materials and the compensation plan is as simple as it gets. You do the work - you earn money. In three months of being in the company, I have generated a 300% increase in sales each month. I am not saying that this trend will continue. I have been working about 10 to 15 hours a week. Not exactally breaking any records for number of hours spent at the office. I have time to do the things that are important to me. I have the freedom to decide when I am going to work and when I am not. The products are awesome and they sell themselves. Take a look for yourself, if you have any questions, drop me a line.
