The Great Depression Ahead?

I’ve spent a lot of time researching the economy and future trends. In that research, I stumbled upon a book by Harry S. Dent Jr. called “The Great Depression Ahead.” It’s a great read that goes through the many cycles (decentential business cycles, consumer spending cycles, innovation cycles) related to the current economy. Quick summary: we’re heading into a depression and real estate bust.

This video is an update to the forecasts in the book and it’s also a great information piece for people who haven’t (or won’t) read the book.

Exactly What Can Be Expensed in Business?

OK, so the title was a little misleading but I wanted to make sure everyone who is in, or has ever been in, Sales sees this video.

I was originally sent this by my brother and I quickly shared it with everyone I knew. Why it took so long to post up here I have no idea!

Play To Your Strengths with Marcus Buckingham

Recently, I’ve been reading a lot about the theories of playing to your strengths and focusing your efforts and career in a direction that achieves this goal.

Here is a great video to get you started:

8 Success Lessons in Less Than 4 Minutes

I am just about to sit down and watch the video version of The Secret and I decided to take a quick break and find a couple of videos about success.

Here is the first one I found that was quick and clever. The presenter has hit some important points although I’m not sure if I fully believe the High School student story!

Just in case you missed it, the 8 things that lead to success are:

• Passion
• Work
• Focus
• Persist
• Ideas
• Good
• Push
• Serve

Have a great night!

A Video About Forums, Blogging and Comments

This video will make you laugh because it’s all true. Although most of the blogs I visit don’t have the rated humor, all the worthless comments and updates are covered very nicely. For those who haven’t seen it before, you can read my Top Ten Comments That Work In Any Situation. In the video, I especially like the guy who yells FIRST (you’ll see what I mean in a minute).

Please note: the language is a little strong in some points but if you’ve spent more than 15 minutes on the web you will have seen it all before!

Learning Business Through A Lemonade Stand

I found this video while watching some great real estate guides online. I thought the concept and delivery was so funny, I had to post it here.

If you have ever run a lemonade stand you know that almost all sales equal pure profit. Without the normal start-up costs (lemons, sugar, ice, crayons, paper, table, chairs, plastic cups) success is almost guaranteed.

Do You Hear The Call Of The Entrepreneur?

Everyone needs some motivation for their blogging every once in a while.

If you’ve got grand aspirations for your life and want it to create your own Empire, this is a great few minutes of motivation.

So I ask again, do you hear
The Call Of The Entrepreneur?

Apply Creative Thinking To Real Estate Investing

Here is a quick video about applying creative thinking to a real estate opportunity. I like this video (definitely not for the quality) because it expands your thinking a little regardless of the industry you are in.

Once you know your business, you can dramatically increase your wealth by simply brainstorming for the numerous opportunities available to you. As this video points out, even $1 can make you $150,000 if you are creative enough.

I am still maintaining my commitment to the ideas I outlined previously in Take The Challenge And Create Success. I think this video fits right in.

Enjoy…

I guess they couldn’t find the before picture!

Save The Planet…Go Black

I thought this was a great website so I wanted to post some quick information for you.

Apparently, on your computer monitor, the white pixels use more energy than the black ones. To fend off this obvious affront to environmentalists everywhere, an ingenious web developer came up with a website called Blackle - Energy Saving Search. Basically, it uses the Google search engine but displays everything with a dark background. I also found another site called BlackWebSearch.com (which is basically the exact same thing) but I like the fact that Blackle took the current environmental trend and utilized it on their site.

People everywhere are currently working to disprove the dark pixel energy theory but until then, I suggest we all do our part and at least give one of them a try!

If you’re interested in environmental issues, have a look at this very interesting video on Energy around the world:

PS. I found out about Blackle at The Gospel According to Rhys

A Video Clip That Motivates You To Wealth

Right now I’m in the middle of reading a copy of The Secret by Rhonda Byrne and, since I have not finished the book, I thought I would share a quick motivational video with you. If you’re anything like me, it’s watching things like this that gets you thinking ‘outside the box’ and giving your best to whatever you are doing.

Let me know what motivates you as well! I hope you enjoy…
