CAREER
Time to Go?

CBN.com – General Motors announced today that they will be offering buyout packages to their entire U.S. hourly workforce – 74,000 workers.
These “please leave” packages will offer between $45,000 and $65,000 to leave the property now. And that’s with continuing full pension and health care coverage.
If you’ve been there 10 years and you’re willing to give that up as well, you can just grab a cool $140,000 and ride off into the sunset.
Is this fair to eliminate thousands of positions in order to bring in workers at half the pay? Would you fight for your “right” to keep your job?

Hey, That Was My Idea!
I love seeing innovative ideas come to life. I like watching Donnie Deutsch’s The Big Idea where he interviews people like friends Julie and Mindee with their new product Boogie Wipes, a simple idea with a clear business plan.
The point is there is a place for moving ahead with your idea, whether it’s a biomedical marvel or a better bicycle spoke noise maker. Too often I hear people say, “I wish there was a better _______.” Then two years later they see the very item and say, “Well, I thought of that way back when.”
Just be aware that ideas are a dime a dozen. Having a great idea puts no money in your pocket. Thinking about an idea or visualizing a novel or improved product is a great mental exercise but does nothing to help others or improve your bank account.
But the person that creates a plan of action – and ACTS – now that person can end up very rich!

Tax MiniMiser
Our next business is Tax MiniMiser. It serves a great need for the self-employed: Taxes. Being self-employed means you have a fair sized task ahead of you in caring for your taxes. You can waste a ton of money and time if you don’t keep on top of it.
The upside, however, and it’s a BIG upside, is you can save a ton of money if you know what to claim. Being organized, though, that is the key. For 14 years now, 48 Days subscriber Bob Whitaker has been providing entrepreneurs and the self-employed with his brilliant Tax Minimiser product.
Even if you have a great CPA, it’s up to you to track your expenses. This is how you do it, with this proven, simple system. You can even write off the expense of purchasing it!
Pure Breath & Water comes to us from Larry Andron, an independent business owner who has developed multiple streams of income that he helps other people duplicate. Larry is a health advocate. For a long time his daughter had itch and rash issues that no allergy testing found a solution for. When he purchased this air purifier, all of her symptoms finally subsided. She’s two years free of itch and rash problems. After becoming a fan and realizing that many allergy and other health problems can be caused by airborne contaminants, Larry investigated the business opportunity. It turns out that the manufacturer has been featured in various publications for offering one of the most successful home based businesses out there. He appreciates that the business helps people solve indoor air quality problems and has the potential to help people realize their financial goals as well.
