Jonathan's Bio

Being in the military for 15 years, then going into civil service provided for my family, let me serve my country, and let me see the world. But my career never really allowed me the opportunity to truly take control of my financial future. I found the only why to really make it in America is with the Free Enterprise system - owning your own business! Now my mission is to keep the Free Enterprise system alive by helping others succeed in their own business.

How To Succeed As An Entrepreneur In The Global Marketplace

In an effort to be more competitive in the global marketplace,

our government has set up a website for federal employees to make suggestions about how to increase trade, exports, and overall competitiveness in the global economy.

What a great idea.  I should ask my kids for ideas on how to better guard the candy jar at home.

I wonder if anyone ever explained to them that federal employees work for the federal government which is the source of all federal
bureaucracy.  And often in direct opposition to free enterprise.  Which
by the way, it depends on for its existence.

Free enterprise is the key a thriving economy. Competition is the basis
of free enterprise.  But, when traditional businesses that actually
manufacture things have to spend so much time & money to fight through
government bureaucracy before they can even enter the global market to
compete, it’s not worth the bottomline.

Our government will wear out the typical entrepreneur before he/she even
thinks about entering the business world.  It takes big business to
compete on a global scale. But the bigger the business, the harder the
fight with our own government.  When you get to the size & scale of
business at the manufacturing level, our government will come down on
you like a  ton of ….paperwork, literally.

I don’t care how passionate you are about making anything (including
money), the roadblock of our own government is a big deterrent for
having a traditional big business like manufacturing anything to sell to
the world.

But let’s say you have the fortitude to press on anyway, and you launch
you business.  Just to get back to even – before you can make a profit,
you’ve got to pay for the resources expended (not for manufacturing
anything), but to win the ‘fight’ with government bureaucracy.  So how
are you going to make the money?

You can’t make money the way the government makes it – by printing it out.

You have to set your prices at a price point that will cover all your
costs – to include your fight with Uncle Sam, and make a profit.

Great…

Now you have all these Americans who scream "Buy American!"  But
regardless how loyal you are as an American, you’ll buy it where it’s
cheapest – best value at lowest price.

If the Chinese can easily make stuff in China and easily sell it
globally, and the US makes it virtually impossible to make stuff in
America and sell globally, how do you expect to compete in the global
marketplace?

Who in their right mind would even try to launch a manufacturing
business in America today?…Unless they were already rich or had
connections with (WITHIN) the government.

The US government is like a boxing trainer who forces the boxer to go 12
rounds with 12 sparring partners just before every fight – and can’t
understand why his fighter is always losing…
Who wants to be a boxer for that trainer?

There is an easier way to be an entrepreneur today, even in the global
economy.  It’s so easy, the list of "How To’s" is two items long.

Here’s the list of what to do to succeed as an Entrepreneur in the
global marketplace:

  1. Don’t try to start a business to manufacture products in the US
  2. Partner with a company that has already done the heavy lifting

That’s it. 

With today’s technology, just about any company that’s online
has a partnering program, or better known as an affiliate or associate program.

But here’s the secret; the better the company you partner with, the better your odds of success.   What to look for?

Here’s a list of desirable qualities you want in an affiliate company:

  1. Financial stability
  2. Solid Reputation
  3. Global recognition
  4. Free corporate support

When you’re competing in the global market, having a strong solid
partner is a big advantage.  Let the big guns take care of the hard
work, so you can focus on having fun making money.

and cheapest way to start a business at http://tinyurl.com/quickandeasybusiness.

Homeless Man With A Golden Voice

How Technology Made A Homeless Man An Overnight Sensation

This is such a powerful video!  But it’s only the beginning of a story just as powerful as the video itself.   In one day, the video goes viral, over a million views, and Ted Williams is famous. 

From homeless to famous, overnight.  Literally…

Here’s the rest of the story:

This story has so many points.  About:

Hope

Victory

Preparedness

Persistance

Gratitude

Faith

God

Sure Ted was center stage, but a lot of people helped to make the story what it is today.  Starting with the guy who filmed the 1st video with his phone and posted it.

Honestly, could something like this have happen before youtube? or iphones?  or the internet? What are the possibilities?

With this very same technology, do you think it’s possible you could change your life around?  Maybe the change won’t be as dramatic as Ted’s.  Maybe you’re not as down and out as he was. 

Maybe your life won’t change overnight.  Maybe the change takes all of 2011.  One whole year instead of one day.

But do you think this year, with over 300 days to go, you could do something with your time to change your financial future?  Use today’s technology to start your own internet business?  Maybe even completely turn your life into a dream come true by the end of 2011?

Or, this time next year, laugh and cry and be amazed at the amazing things other people have done in their life…

When that happens, I want you to think of me, or this blog and listen to that little voice inside asking, "Why not me? What did I do? What kept me from doing something great?"

Whatever excuse you come up with, think about our friend Ted.

If you’ve been wanting to venture into starting your own business, but just don’t know what to do or where to start, give me call and let’s talk – 808-306-0749.

Get Excited Again!


This is how to live life!

 

When you do anything with this much excitement, people notice!  Even if it’s not their particular field of interest.

The world loves people with passion…but only when it shows!

Why do kids make Christmas exciting and fun?

Because they’re excited and they don’t bother trying to hide it!

Christmas is still my favorite holiday.  But I can remember being really excited about Christmas!  Of course, I was a kid, and it was mainly because of the presents.

But I can also remember becoming a teen - and trying to be more cool and mature.  And then hiding my excitement about Christmas and presents… and birthdays, and summer vacations, and new movies, and new friends, and girls…

But being cool and mature meant not letting my excitement show.  And over the years, not acting excited about things in life eventually led to being…not as excited about things in life.

Funny how that works.

How about you?  Have you let the yearsof hiding your excitement about the things in life cause you to be not excited any more? 

You know how to get back the excitement?  Act excited!

Think about it. If acting not excited can get you not excited, then surely acting excited will get you excited!

Be like this three year old kid conductor.  When you do something with this much energy, you can’t help but get excited!  And when you’re having this much fun, you can even mess up, but so what?!   You can laugh it off!

More things in life should be done with this much excitement!

2011 should be looked forward to with more excitement! 

Even with the current economy, I’m excited about next year.  I’m excited about my business and what’s going to happen in 2011.  And I’m going to try to take a lesson from Jonathan – the maestro in the video.  Have fun, be excited, and not care what people think! 

If you’re not that excited about the coming year…or your life, maybe you should do something different to get some excitement back.  Like owning your own business, and being able to take control of your own financial future.

Find something you can get excited about.  And then pursue it passionately!

You only live once, and you can’t turn back time.  But that doesn’t mean you can’t be a kid again.

Have fun, get excited, and let it show!

How A Knight Can Save Your Financial Future

Has the internet changed your life?

It’s changed the whole world! And even though no one person can legitamately take credit for it, Al Gore sure tried.

But the US started developing the net way back in 1957, after the Soviets launched Sputnik. Al would have been nine years old. Now, that’s an impressive science project. Mine was mold…at least that’s what my Mom said that stuff was. We finally completed the invention of the net in 1969. So what?

Who knew except the US military? But 20 years later…

Sir Tim Berners-Lee invents something that really did change our lives.

Before he came along, about all we might have done on the internet is email. So what did Sir Tim invent? The World Wide Web, or better known as www, is credited to him alone. I wonder if that’s how he got the "Sir".

No wonder Time magazine picked him as one of the most important people of the 20th Century!

So how has the www changed your life? A source for information and entertainment, great savings of time and money, more efficiency at work (or not), but…

Have you found a way to monetize it yet? Get paid – make money on the www?

I have! The www has made owning my own business a reality; 24 – 7, 365 – And with no inventory, employees, or bosses. No brick-n-mortar store, and no going door-to-door.

Thank you Sir Tim!

Because of him, or more specifically the World Wide Web (www.), just about anyone today can own a business and run it practically anywhere in the world.  And at a fraction of the cost – time and money wise.

How long are you going to just waste time surfing the net, when you could be surfing the beaches of the world? All it takes is time and money. What better way to start than with your own business?  We can help you get started right!

For a free video that will show you the quickest, easiest, and cheapest way to start your own business, check out: http://tinyurl.com/quickandeasybusiness.

Who knows, maybe someday you might be telling your kids about how a knight  in shinning armor saved your life.

Why Everyone Needs To Own A Business

"What you got ain’t nothing new." 

(From "No Country For Old Men")

Wow!  Everybody needs to hear this 23 second speech. But they need to hear it in the context of our current economic state. 

I don’t watch the news, so I don’t know if the sad state of the economy, real estate, or job market is still so prevalent in the news as it was in the recent past.  But even if it’s not big in the news – cause it’s not "big news" now, I hope people aren’t thinking somehow the economy has magically become better.  One hard look in their savings or the quality of life of friends and family should slap them back to reality.

Have we seen the worst of it?

Think of it this way; if you’re sick, something has to be a catalyst to the healing process for you to get better.  Medicine or your immune system has to start the healing process.  Until then, you’re going to get sicker.

Our economy is sick.  Something has to be a catalyst to get it better.  Do you think the recent elections will be that catalyst?  Is there something else going on in the country, or the world, that could be a catalyst for the cure?  If not, then the economy will get sicker.

So, no – we haven’t seen the worst of it.

"Can’t stop what’s coming." 

Do you think the state of the economy will somehow stop at a magical boundary line before it affects you?  It’s not.

"Ain’t all waiting on you." 

Do you think the state of the economy will somehow stay behind a magical boundary line before it affects you? And wait there until the president, or the government, or…an army of entrepreneurs fixes things?  Even if one of those three (You know which one I’d bet on.) initiates the cure, trust me,  what’s coming is not waiting on anything before it’s going to affect you.

What makes you so special that a problem this big would not affect you?

"That’s vanity."

But this isn’t a ‘doom & gloom’ message.  This is a ‘Call to action!’ message. This is a wake-up call.

You don’t have to just stand by and watch disaster come.  And you don’t have to just sit and wait for someone to come save you from what’s coming.  You can do something about it before it hits you personally.

Three things you should do regardless of the state of the economy is:

1.  Minimize your out go.  Get what you need and get out of debt.  Stop using credit to increase your lifestyle.

2.  Maximize your cash flow.  Get to work, work hard, and get paid.

3.  Leverage your income.  Create a passive income asset so you don’t have to spend all your time, and all your life doing #2.

One vehicle that can help you do all three of the above is to own your own business.  Yes, even your own business will help you do #1.  How?  By lowering your taxes.  You probably have a computer, internet, iphone, etc., right? 

So do I.  But because I own my own business, I can write them off as legitimate business expenses. 

And the objective having my own business is to make money – #2.

But your own business must be the right type of business to have #3.

There is a unique affiliate program that allows you to do all three of these things; save you money, make you money, and leverage your income.  It’s not for everyone, and maybe it’s not for you, but you "can’t stop what’s coming".  If you don’t already own a business, you need to get started.  It’s one of the very few ways for you to take control of your own financial future.
