		<description><![CDATA[&#160; For those of you who have followed me through the years, you know I believe that the travel and nutrition industries are the best opportunities for growing true wealth as a home based business owner.  Also, that for the majority of my generation, the Baby Boomers,  a financially comfortable retirement prior to the age of 80-something is about as likely as winning the lottery, making the development of alternative streams of income, especially from a home-based business, an absolute necessity for anyone wishing to survive, and even thrive,  in today&#8217;s economic climate. As the result of those observations and research, coupled with a stunning (to me) diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis at the age of 52, I found myself with the surprise of a new career as an educator and proponent of Internet marketing as the ideal ticket to freedom both for my fellow Baby Boomers and for those whose work life might be restricted by a disability.  Years of studying network marketing and its integration with the advancement of the Internet &#8211; almost as a hobby, a break from practicing law &#8211; suddenly became a mission and a financial lifesaver. We Boomers, you know &#8211; the generation that wouldn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK, so it’s still 42 degrees at 6 a.m. on April 6th, but at least the 7 feet of snow is gone! It’s been a long time, and a pretty rough Winter. I nursed and lost a dear friend at far too young an age, moved 3 times for crazy house defect reasons, totaled my car on black ice in a ballet on Elm Street that made me famous on the 10 pm news and took out half the street (but thank God not a single human being – except me, but I just got a free ride to the ER on a backboard with some good looking paramedics). Not an advertisement, I get no commissions, but that Subaru Outback saved my life and was immediately replaced with a new Subaru – I didn’t even bother looking at any other cars. So I checked out for a while – to recover, regroup and relax (oh yeah, I forgot – move a few times). But I saw that was the real beauty of working for myself from home. Who was I going to call in to and ask for a day off because I’d just had a big car accident and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What? Is she crazy? Maybe, but not on this subject. I think the answer to my question in the title is a resounding YES. You can recruit to the borderline of SPAM and beyondn and completely ruin what you&#8217;ve spent time building up - YOUR NAME and your reputation. And if all people ever hear from you is &#8220;join this&#8221;  &#8221;don&#8217;t miss out on [goo-roo of the week's] launch&#8221; Your name and your reputation will quickly go into your reader&#8217;s memory bank with a big mental stickie attached that says &#8220;DO NOT FOLLOW.&#8221; httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsdjkYuahAY Just look at Twitter.  Somedays I really prefer not to.  I have over 12,000 followers and most just SPAM me to exhaustion. And I wouldn&#8217;t recommend those voice telephone blasting programs either &#8211; you know the ones that call a few thousand numbers with the same pre-recorded message.  Now that my phone number is &#8220;out there.&#8221; I get about 3 or 4 a day &#8212; and just hang up! BUT, we all know we need folks to join us in our businesses if we are ever to make any money. SO where is the happy middle? You can&#8217;t spend all day playing on Facebook, never mentioning your business &#8211; especially if you&#8217;re wasting [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I try to help my fellow Baby Boomers, the home-bound disabled and others find a way to create their own economies, the idea came to me that I could help some who (for whatever reason) are finding it difficult to get started.  In the spirit of giving is better than receiving, I decided to design my own &#8220;stimulus package&#8221; to help two entrepreneurs by literally giving them a business.  Here is how it will work. I will give (at no charge) a full membership on my team with the hugely successful Pyxism Travel to the next two highly-motivated people who join me in Simple Freedom (check out http://BoomersIncorporated.com for more information) and purchase (for $12.95) the invaluable book, Disciplines of Doership, by Joe Schroeder (which comes with CDs, MP4s, newsletters and a two-week trial membership in Million Mind March (which you can cancel before the end of the two weeks and keep all the books and CDs, etc).  The book and CDs may be purchased by calling 24 hr. recorded message at 1-800-772-9781 Ext: 10. To those first two, I will help get you going even faster, in the $14 Trillion travel industry by flat out GIVING YOU membership on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Baby Boomers are being lied to by the same financial companies that lost a good portion of their retirement in the collapsing economy.  I&#8217;m boiling mad at this, because the effect it could have as our generation ages could be devastating if one believes what their studies show.  These studies (conducted by the financial companies themselves), attempting to make the outlook brighter than we&#8217;ve seen it are, I believe, an effort both to absolve themselves (for losing people&#8217;s money and then being handsomely rewarded by government bailouts) and to encourage the investor to keep their money with the companies instead of smelling the coffee and finding another way. As I said in a previous post, the largest growing segment in the homeless population is the Baby Boomer generation.  Not that there are not others, including families with children who are suffering the same fate, but unless the Baby Boomer generation stops watching American Idol and really looks honestly at the future &#8211; we are in trouble.  Big trouble. When you read between the lines and calculate the numbers put forth by these studies, you find that  Boomers (hundreds of millions of Boomers) are going to have to work well past [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This day must never be forgotten.  The stories must be told and retold.   We must not leave our children thinking this was just a small part of history in a distant time. We were visciously attacked, badly injured but we showed the absolute true colors of what it means, really means to be an American.  Most of us flew the flag from one end of the continent to the other.  Stores could not keep them in enough supply to fill the needs.  Neighbors talked to and loved neighbors they&#8217;d never greeted before. And heroes, ordinary men and women, on a split second&#8217;s notice did extraordinary things to save their fellow man &#8211; often losing their own life in the process.  We KNEW what it mean to be an American.  The heroes on Flight 93, knowing they were going to their own deaths, stopped an assault on Washington, D.C. that could have destroyed the White House or Capitol Hill.  &#8221;Let&#8217;s roll&#8221; should remain forever in our minds. Tell the stories, teach your children, pray for those we lost, pray for those who survived, and love the country that gives you the greatest chance of personal freedom and self-determination than any [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was sad to read a multitude of articles about the growth of homelessness among Baby Boomers. a problem with no end in sight. In cities like Miami, Dallas, and others, the greatest increase in homelessness has become members of the Boomer generation, people who had careers, homes, families, insurance &#8211; all of the things we take for granted, who found themselves &#8220;downsized&#8221; and after spending years looking for a job, could no longer afford even the smallest amount of rent, let alone to continue to own their own homes.  Literally, out on the streets. The old economy doesn&#8217;t exist, the government is not going to save them, their families can&#8217;t or won&#8217;t help them, and many members of the unstoppable generation have simply given up.  This is disastrous for society, and heartbreaking to observe &#8211; watching the death of the human spirit, the total loss of hope, and the growing despair among a generation that created and gave so much to the development of society, technology, thought, and excitement to their world over the years. The world the Boomer generation expected to exist as they trundled into their older years no longer exists.   Perhaps it&#8217;s the human normal [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a way, it made me chuckle.  &#8221;They&#8221; didn&#8217;t think we&#8217;d come, let alone almost overrun the place. And as this video on a study released by the Pew Research Center on August 27, 2010 shows &#8211; we are EVERYWHERE in social media.  Imagine what this means to your business&#8230;.. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYDoPIduYOw Just another example of the mistakes other generations make about the Baby Boomers.  We are unlike any other generation this planet has seen.  Aside from our sheer numbers (about 77 million), something about us has been different since Mr. Gerber got the brilliant (and very profitable for him) inspiration that it might be a good idea to figure out how to make feeding these millions of infants a little more convenient for their parents. Small and home-based businesses cannot afford to overlook the power of the Internet and social media, and marketing experts have to drop their almost Biblical devotion to the adage that their primary target market is the 19 to 34 year olds.  Study after study shows the driving force in the economy has been and remains the generation born between 1946 and 1964.  The Baby Boomers have driven every economic trend since our births, and we [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I took time off &#8211; really off.  No Internet, no conferences, just time &#8220;down the shore&#8221; 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&#8217;d say a retreat of sorts. In a few more days, I&#8217;ll return home &#8211; looking forward to returning to &#8220;work&#8221; (because it isn&#8217;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&#8217;m not a fatalist.  Just because I&#8217;m a Baby Boomer doesn&#8217;t mean I&#8217;m picking out my coffin &#8211; almost makes me laugh.  Not that I&#8217;m making a personal comparison, but the late Pope John Paul II didn&#8217;t begin his greatest life&#8217;s work until he was 58.  And, if I&#8217;m correct, I don&#8217;t think Colonel Sanders started Kentucky Fried Chicken until he was about 66. But if you get to be my age (55), and don&#8217;t see how time is passing, and haven&#8217;t learned from the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, Integrity matters and if it doesn&#8217;t matter to you, your life, family and career mean nothing.  Especially in the world of Internet Marketing where so many wolves abound, it is time to be certain that what you are doing on line (or offline) in your business is inline with your personal values and what you stand for. What legacy do you want to leave, one of life being all about you or one of life being about others? What can you take with you when you die &#8211; absolutely nothing.  What do you leave behind?  Your legacy &#8211; how people remember you. When my dad died suddenly at the age of 65, I was 27 years old and heartbroken.  Dad was a simple man, a small entrepreneur in a small business &#8211; never wealthy or famous &#8211; but I knew him as one of the most kindest, loving people on earth.  At 55, I still miss him and always will. Dad was a first-generation American.  Both of his parents came from Ireland on boats during the potato famine.  And they were dirt poor.  When his father died when my dad was 14, he had to drop out of school [...]]]></description>
