The Clock Is Ticking – Vacation Musings
I took time off – really off. No Internet, no conferences, just time “down the shore” as we say in Philly (where I was raised). Family, reflection, prayer, reading, swimming and pondering. Up before dawn, floating in the pool under the stars, real talks with family and old friends. I guess you’d say a retreat of sorts.
In a few more days, I’ll return home – looking forward to returning to “work” (because it isn’t work). I have an Internet connection for a few hours today, so I hopped aboard to see what was going on out there in the jungle.
Ho-hum. Same old, same old for many. Sadly.
And, the clock is ticking.
Oh, I’m not a fatalist. Just because I’m a Baby Boomer doesn’t mean I’m picking out my coffin – almost makes me laugh. Not that I’m making a personal comparison, but the late Pope John Paul II didn’t begin his greatest life’s work until he was 58. And, if I’m correct, I don’t think Colonel Sanders started Kentucky Fried Chicken until he was about 66.
But if you get to be my age (55), and don’t see how time is passing, and haven’t learned from the years of experiencing utter joy and extreme grief – I wonder what planet you’ve been on.
And we are all blessed with the same thing everyday – we all get 24 hours. It’s the great equalizer and our choice of what to do with them. We can pass up moments of family and friends like I’ve been experiencing this week (then rush to their funerals after not having seen them for five years), or
We can DO LIFE NOW!
We choose how to spend those 24 hours we all get and I realized, especially when I peeked into the jungle a little while ago,
just how happy and blessed I am,
excited,
making plans,
free to do it,
earning money,
not hypnotized into thinking I HAVE to live my life a certain way. I don’t. And, I do not.
Do you know, honestly KNOW, the freedom and relief of the feeling on Sunday nights when you forget that it is Sunday night and even if you remember, you don’t really care because Monday is just another wonderful day? I DO.
To have found a career mission, a passion, a purpose – to lead others to that same exquisite freedom?
That’s what I have, that’s what I found and the best part of it is the thank yous I hear from people who have followed me and found that same freedom. Such a letter makes me cry. Oh, not because I’m any big-shot guru, but because I loved and I gave myself to someone else. Don’t miss that experience.
So when I checked in on the jungle today,
I saw it hadn’t changed. The “guru” money robbers are still out there pulling cash from the wallets of desperate people,
selling them this week’s snake oil,
and their “sheeple” are desperately trying to “market” it to me and others,
hoping against hope that they finally found it, until three weeks later they find another launch by another “guru” and once again open their wallets,
until they are broke, disheartened and quit.
Or, join another “rah rah” MLM, with no way of succeeding in it…………
BUT I BRING GREAT NEWS – and this is my mission to share (and especially with my Baby Booomer Budddies, so many so desperate),
IT DOESN”T WORK THAT WAY> IT NEVER DID > BUT
“IT” does work, and it’s so darned simple, there is a simple freedom out there that allows you to choose when you disappear to float in a pool on a starry night with loved ones, doing absolutely nothing while money appears in your checking account or mailbox – and you didn’t have to ask anyone other than yourself if you wanted to take that time away.
Oh, since the beginning of time there have been the dream stealers, the robbers, the “gurus”
How many 24 hours do you have left to pursue these glitzed up dreams? How many 24 hours do you have left to miss spending the time with your family and friends and not worry about your mortgage? How many 24 hours do you have left to joing program after program, or pray to “gurus” who will NEVER call you back once they have your money for their useless snake oil?
Oh, how I want to just wrap you up and show you what I’ve learned and HOW IT WORKS and will work for you. To give you that simple freedom of floating in that pool.
I can, if you will give me your time – part of that 24 hours. It is SO simple. And although I feel 25 and full of excitement and plans especially dedicated to my Boomer friends – how many 24 hours are you going to waste?
You are the power, you are the movement, you are the ONLY one who can create this simple freedom for yourself…….
Just call. Spend $12.95 to open a pathway to the mindset development that will help you build a home based business and OBLITERATE that Sunday night nausea that comes from knowing you have to get up, get in line on the freeway, and go work for the MAN doing something you hate. Oh give yourself a chance to be free.
Just call. You’ve spent thousands. Spend $12.95 that doesn’t even cover the cost and postage because we believe in giving giving giving
24 Hour Recorded. GET THIS STUFF!

OH, and by the way – I’ve got to run myself. It’s time for me to get back to the family, back in the pool and earn some money while I’m waiting to spend some time with my son.
BUT – as I told you my work is not work………….give me a call. I’d be glad to talk to you about your path to a simple freedom. My number is 203-439-1055. Don’t worry about “bothering” me – it’s why I’m here.
I love this stuff.
