Alberta Business Opportunity

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

One common misconception is that the energy sector is responsible for all of this new growth. The truth is that you don’t have to get your hands dirty at an oil well or work in an energy company’s office. Opportunity is everywhere. According to the Canada Business Network, while energy is responsible for one quarter of Alberta’s gross domestic product now, that’s actually down from the one-third it held 20 years ago. Alberta’s economy supports all types of businesses these days. Big oil might grab the headlines, but people who’ve come for the fossil fuel boom need all kinds of other goods and services.

The province knows that a strong economy requires a strong information network. That’s why it’s built the Alberta SuperNet. Communities across the province have easy access to high speed internet now, so more businesses than ever have a chance to get online and join in on growing profits. The Canada Business Network puts it this way:

The Internet has opened up networking to anyone with a computer and Internet access. Businesses can now climb on board the Internet, which amounts to a free electronic highway. Once you’re hooked up, you can buy, sell, and connect with the people who matter to you: your own employees (in the next office or three thousand kilometers away), your suppliers, your customers, your bank accounts, your credit information services, your sources of market information, and so on.

People everywhere are jumping on board. Internet services are a prime Alberta business opportunity. Business site Alberta-canada.com says that the province has approximately 7,000 internet and communications businesses generating an estimated $10 billion in annual revenue!

Thanks to the internet, you don’t even need to live in Alberta to share in its growth. If you’re online and aren’t afraid to commit to a reliable plan to build wealth, the opportunities are yours for the taking. You just need to take the first step. Contact us to unlock one powerful way to join Alberta’s success story.

Transforming Debt Into Wealth

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

“Nothing succeeds like success.”

That mantra first appeared in print in 1868. It is an indisputable fact that success tends to breed success. The formula works in sports, entertainment, and business.

But that is just too obvious, isn’t it? What about the person who hasn’t yet tasted the sweet nectar of success? What about the person who wasn’t voted “Most Likely To Succeed” by his or her classmates? Or worse, the one who was elected as such…and then proceeded to make a mess of things?

Plenty of people know how to take money and make more money with it. It is another aspect of success breeding success. But how do you transform debt into wealth? How do you take a negative and turn it into a positive, a loss and make a gain of it? That is another story entirely.

Look at the following formula and fill in the answer:

Failure + Failure + Failure = ______________.

What answer did you reach? Did you answer, “Failure?” If so, you are probably right. It is certainly possible that a person will remain on a destructive path and follow one disastrous decision with another.

Or, did you answer, “Success”? If you did, you are right! Success may breed success, but no one has ever succeeded without experiencing failure along the way!

Did you know…

  1. Babe Ruth struck out 1,330 times in his career? Of course, none of us remember all of those failures. We remember, instead, that he hit 714 homeruns!
  2. Thomas Edison failed nearly 2,000 times before he discovered the right filament for the incandescent light bulb?
  3. JC Penney went bankrupt in his first business venture and later lost $40 million when the stock market crashed in 1929, but recovered to build the first great retail chain?

Ruth, Edison, and Penney…three of the greatest names in American history. Each experienced more than his share of failure, but we remember their successes. Why? Because they never gave up and they never gave in to their circumstances.

Legendary football coach, Mike Ditka observed is fond of saying, “Success isn’t permanent and failure isn’t fatal.” Billionaire Malcolm Forbes adds, “Failure is success if we learn from it.”

Perhaps you are drowning in a river of debt. Bad luck, bad timing, maybe even bad decisions have conspired to bring you to a place of financial difficulty. You can transform that debt into wealth. You can stop the bleeding and begin the healing.

Here are a few key points to transforming debt into wealth:

  1. Consolidating debt is not the answer. It has to be eliminated, or transformed into assets.
  2. If you always do what you have always done, you will always be what you have always been.
  3. Change is not easy, but it is essential. You have to change the way you approach your debt and the way you amass your assets.
  4. Compound interest compounds debt exponentially, but it works the other way, too…when you are the one earning it rather than paying it. Albert Einstein called compound interest the greatest mathematical discovery he ever saw. He said those who understand it profit from it, while those who don’t understand it never finish paying for it.
  5. Debt becomes wealth because its elimination has the two-fold effect of eliminating high interest being paid on the debt and creating interest income through investment.
  6. Nearly 100% of the people who will read this article already have the means to transform debt into wealth. It isn’t about how much you make, because this is a sliding scale. Debt is almost always proportionate to income because you will only have the ability to amass a certain amount of debt based on your income and ability to gain credit.
  7. Hopelessness is a feeling, not a fact. The only hopeless person is the one who gives up.

Debt elimination is one thing. Transformation is another. It is being done every day by people just like you. You can do it, too. But you have to do it. It won’t just happen on its own.

Here’s to your success!

Revolutionary Wealth Opportunity

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

Real median household income in the United States rose by 1.1 percent between 2004 and 2005, reaching $46,326, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Of course, median and average are not synonymous. Median is the absolute middle of the income spectrum and average is…well, average.

But who wants to be average? And who enjoys being crammed into the middle? Like the dog musher said, “If you aren’t the lead dog, the view never changes.” But if you want the view to change, you have to change it. Break out from the pack. Do something extraordinary. Do something…revolutionary!

There has never been a more exciting time to consider the possibilities of building individual wealth. The dynamics of society are changing. With the advent of social media like You Tube, Facebook, and Twitter, we are witnessing the empowerment of the individual. The world has never been more crowded, but we keep finding ways to say, “Look! I am here. I matter.”

In their book Revolutionary Wealth, released in 2006, well-known futurists Alvin and Heidi Toffler predict a dramatic increase in wealth in the coming years. They appear to be onto something. Berkeley economist J. Bradford DeLong noted that global income per person increased ten-fold in the 20th century. Compare that to the 19th century, in which personal income only tripled.

According to CNN.com, 7.5 million Americans – or one in every 125 – were millionaires in 2004. Marketwatch.com reported that by 2005 that number had grown to 8.9% of the population. It remains true that two of every three millionaires are self-employed. That, my friend, is revolutionary wealth.

So how do you join the revolution? The obvious answer is…call your super-rich daddy and ask for a loan.

What? Your daddy isn’t super-rich, or he doesn’t trust you to pay that loan back? Well, then on to option 2: start your own business. Conventional wisdom says, “It takes money to make money…lots of it.” But, we aren’t talking about conventional wisdom, nor are we talking about conventional means. We are talking about revolutionary wealth.

This is a new day with new opportunities, the kind of opportunities not afforded previous generations. You don’t have to be out tens of thousands of dollars to secure a storefront or office space. You don’t have to be out hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy into a name-brand franchise. You don’t have to secure the services of a pricey advertising firm.

You can start a business right there in your very own home office with earning potential that exceeds traditional business models. Just ask yourself a few vital, qualifying questions first:

  1. Do I have the desire to build my own business?
  2. Do I have the ambition to build immense personal wealth?
  3. Do I believe in my ability to achieve my dreams, given the opportunity?
  4. Will I commit my time, energy, and resources to accomplishing my ultimate goal?

If you answered yes, yes, yes, yes, then you are ready to join the revolution. The next time CNN or Marketwatch compiles statistics regarding millionaires, you could be one reason the numbers keep rising.

Revolutionary wealth is within your reach, but you have to grasp it. There will never be a better time than right now to start your own revolution.
