Today is our 7 year anniversary. I am so grateful for the years I have had with my wonderful wife Katherine. She has helped make me so much of a better man than I would have managed without her. I had a birthday yesterday and realized that everyone put a negative connotation around a higher age, yet with a higher anniversary come respect (as it should). I think there should be more respect and desire for age too (though I understand why there isn’t).
Anyway, staying married is a great accomplishment in today’s society. I am very thankful for my marriage today and I look forward to what the rest of our days on Earth will bring for us.
TSHO is as pinksheet stock that is exploding. I mentioned TradeShow Marketing Company to you about 3 months ago. Back in November TSHO had made a strong rebound from the market crash of 2008. It was trading around its record high back then. Today the Tradeshow Marketing Co. stock has soared to $1.37. Thats over a 100 % return in 3 months if you had listened to me back in November and taken advantage of this robust company.
Its not over yet. I have been with the company since the beginning and with what I know about the company, I believe there is a fortune to be made with this company in even as a long term investor. But if you just want substantial short term returns they are there. TradeShow Marketing has over 100 slots scheduled to air their first infomercials beginning Feb, 22nd. I expect the stock to come back down 10 or 20 cents in over the next couple weeks and then spike back up to more record highs at the airing of the infomercials. Whether short or long term this looks like a stock that will make a lot of you rich. Happy trading.
Richard Branson and the Virgin Galactic team unveil their revolutionary space machine. SpaceShip Two was designed with the purpose of taking citizens into space and is on track to fulfill its promises within the next 2 years. Many citizens have already paid the $200,000 price for their ticket on one of the first suborbital flights. In addition, over 80,000 citizens have expressed interest in a trip on the SpaceShip Two. This is good news and encouraging of success for Richard Branson and his Virgin Galactic company. What seemed questionable to say the least just a few years ago is now promising.
An unmaintained and seeminly uneducated kid walks into a barber shop and the barber wispers to his customer ”This is the dumbest kid you’ll ever meet. Watch this!”
The barber holds out a dollar bill in one hand and 2 quarters in the other while motioning to the boy. The barber says “take your pick, son”.
The without a word the kid scurries off with the two quarters. To which the barber concludes to his customer “See, what’d I tell ya? Stupid boy, he’ll never learn!”
When the barber finishes up and the customer exits the shop he spots the boy in front of the ice cream store up the street. Meeting up with the boy he inquires “Son, can I ask you a question? Why did you pick the quarters instead of the dollar bill?”
Taking a break from licking his cone he replied “I turned down the dollar because the day I take it, the game is over!”
Royce Gracie MMA Fight Night was hosted by CFP (Carolina Fight Promotions) and was live at the RBC Center in Raleigh, NC on Saturday. This was Carolina’s mixed martial arts competition not UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship). UFC 104 was broadcast immediately following Royce Gracie’s “Carolina Crown” event.
We got tickets last minute to make a night out and enjoy the show. Although there were some less talented fights, there were also very good and highly skilled fights. As I’m sure it is their mission I saw some fighters that showed discipline and talent that I expect to see in the UFC soon.
The night was very eventful. Royce Gracie received an award from CFP. Gracie also presented all the awards for the night. We even witnessed a marriage proposal by a fighter from the octagon after his fight. The main event ended at about 1 minute into the first round by tap out due to a triangle, an exciting finish to fight night.
I must confess I am addicted to Crocs. Several years ago I had severe foot problems. I had to massage my feet for a few minutes in the morning before getting out of bed. If I didn’t it felt like I was walking on glass and I regularly pulled muscles or tendons in my feet. I had heard about Crocs for a couple years but refused to buy them for 2 reasons. One, I thought it was a fad and I despise doing things to join the fad. Two, the original Crocs are down right hideous and I thought looking like a clown would draw a lot of attention. Finally, I gave in to try something to help my feet. After about 2 1/2 weeks I felt no more pain in my feet. It felt like a miracle. Crocs are all I have worn on a day to day basis for the past 3 1/2 years. After my first pair I discovered Crocs.com where I learned that Crocs has over 100 different styles of shoes, sandles, boots etc. Some even attractive designs. I have even bought a pair of the dress Crocs for when I have my business meetings for Accelerated Wealth. When I tell people that are anti Crocs like I was, they are unaware that Crocs has dozens of fashionable styles. My wife even wears them sometimes when she dresses up. Here are some sample pictures of the Crocs golf shoe, dress shoe, and even a pair of heels. Check out crocs.com to see more of what they offer.
I don’t want to give away the video so I will limit my post. This reminds me of one of my favorite quotes, by Charles Swindoll. This is the paraphrased short version.
“The more I live the more I realize the impact attitude has on life. Attitude is more important than facts, the past, education, money, circumstances, failures, success, what people think, say or do. It is more important that appearance, gifts, or skill. It will make or break a government, business, church or home.
The amazing thing is that we have a choice about our attitude every day. We can’t control the past, peoples actions or the inevitable. All we can do is play on the one thing we have, our attitude. I’m convinced life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.”
It has been almost 3 months since my operation so I have been physically lazy for much longer than that. I am doing physical therapy twice a week and doing the light upper body exercises that they allow me in between therapy. I have been taking long walks for a month or so and started light jogging a couple weeks ago. I went out this morning thinking I could take it more seriously. I ran the better part of a mile with a walking break about half way. I tell you, it sucks trying to get back in shape. Not only did my legs feel like they were going to fall of, but my lungs burned from what I think they call lactic acid. Despite the headache, pain, and wanting to vomit, it was a good step in the right direction. I know I will have to push through the pain quite a bit more before it becomes comfortable.
I am looking forward to starting up the P90X workout, but I know it will be the distant future before I am capable of any of P90X. If anyone has any suggestions to help getting back into shape please don’t hesitate to share them with me.
Today I just wanted to give a tribute to my amazing wife. I want you all to know how fortunate I am to be married to such an incredible woman. She doesn’t read this site so this is all an opportunity to brag to a few friends and a lot of people I don’t even know. Kat works so hard and does so much for myself, our 2 kids and everyone she comes in contact with that she deserves the world. She gives like nobody I’ve ever known. I won’t say that she is perfect or you would think I’m full of it, knowing that nobody is perfect. But I can say that when she sees her flaws, on her own she pours herself into becoming that better woman, mother, wife, friend etc. I know that is partially for me. Wow, am I blessed to have that in a soul mate. So to my beautiful, lovely and startling wife, thank you! I love you!
There are a lot of home based companies out there making noise right now. Companies like Buzzirk, Global Verge, Zer01, and 2plus7. I had to write about one in particular though, Efusjon not Efusion. Strange spelling, yes. Network markeing company, yes. There are a few unique things about this company. First, they produce the first energy drink out there that is not bad for you using the Acai berry juice to help do so. The next key factor is how they structured the compensation plan. The best I can explain it is an overflow matrix promoting easier growth. you will have to see for yourself to understand beyond that. It is the first networking/mlm structure of its kind and proving to be very powerful. The other key component is that the founders are close friends with the owners of Facebook. What does that mean. Well, the test market launch on Facebook provided close to a 7 percent buying response in 2 hours. The full Facebook launch is scheduled for July 4th so if this type business interests you you will want to be on board before then. Take a few minutes to look at this video and see the power they talk about. If you have further interest to try products or get involved browse over to this info/registration page.
