Interesting Things

Just found out some interesting things this morning that really piqued my interest. My wife has been studying medical transcription (MT) for the past year and was close to graduation. Today she began to make some phone calls in order to inquire of job positions and received a very grim outlook: MT companies are out of work due to the new EMR (Electronic Medical Record) systems that Obama has put in place through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

Well, I’m finding the Trump Network to be quite interesting at the moment. It’s been a roller coaster ride for sure and I’d like to share a little bit about that.

I was actually working on a real estate investment situation where my family has a housing development that is floundering due to the economy. Absolutely tremendous development, but very bad timing. So, I recalled a connection that friended me on Facebook a couple of years ago, Duncan Wierman, and I looked him back up. I ended up chatting with him and getting some good feedback and some actionable items, however something that caught my eye was an entry about the Trump Network.

The name alone, Donald Trump, caught my attention. Obviously he’s a tremendous billionaire real estate mogul, and the star of The Apprentice, but what would this Trump Network be?

So, I researched this out a bit and discovered something that really piqued my interest more than anything. It turned out that he had explored several competing companies early this past year and ended up choosing a company called Ideal Health upon which to apply his name and acquire. This company was consequently rebranded to the Trump Network this past March and has begun to really pick up steam ever since. BUT, the product is what is fascinating.

First, they actually take test (urine for the majority of needs, but for allergy testing a blood test is available) and match this with leading edge technology that is JUST NOW becoming available to the consumers of the nation. I actually had a similar idea (my concept and product are actually still unique and actually complimentary of this offering) a few years ago. When I saw a portion of my idea implemented in this fashion, I became excited and upset. Once I did realize that it was not a competitor to my concept, I became much more excited.

Frankly, as others have put it, this was a perfect storm. It is cutting edge technology offered to consumers to customize our nutritional intake to our personal needs based upon absorption. Further, it is rebranded with the name of a very big business man that simply does not generally fail nor give up. These two alone are enough to draw me in as I know it will be insanely huge, but there is more.

His concept of an American bail-out is interesting. I think it can help indeed, but there’s more to it.

I have a secret that I’ll let you in on here. I have a family member that is a high up executive in a mega international corporation. This person has been over marketing of several different world regions and has presided over new and secret product launches. It has been a long time since this person shared this with me, so I’m going to go ahead and share it here without any particular details that could land me in very hot water, but you’ll understand the core AND you’ll see one of the reasons that this venture is so BIG.

This person created a new market line specifically for children that would provide foods and snacks that would be specifically tuned to enhance their mental and physical performance. It would give them an edge to compete in the world. This corporation was not willing to bring these child nutritional enhanced lines to the United States unfortunately and were only going to focus on third world nations, particularly India.

I found this interesting and disturbing. We really needed this in our country and I found myself wanting to beg for the products for my own children. It was disconcerting to say the least for me as our junk food nation needs this more than any other land on earth.

So, as I was reviewing the products, I agreed that the vitamin regiments were tremendous. The energy drink mixtures were great. The weight loss product line, Silhouette Solution, is absolutely fabulous and far superior to Nutrisystem. BUT the upcoming products are fascinating!

These folks are going to obliterate Amway and all of the competition. Not only is their product line superior in quality and customized to an individual’s needs, but they are moving ahead in very big ways that are going to be insanely large markets. Sure, they have an anti-aging cosmeceutical line coming, but they have this new line for children coming down the pike! I will guarantee that my children will be among the first to take advantage of the brain boosting and health boosting effects of these offerings!!!

So, I’m trying to chronicle some of my progress as I move ahead here and actually document my lifestyle and marketing success through my dedicated Twitter account for this project. Please follow along and learn with me! I’m really starting to get excited.

After the initial excitement, I was finding that I was being bombarded with too much information, but finally after speaking to my up-lines I’ve found some very useful information. I was really thrilled to know that I’m actually part of the largest group or leg of the Trump Network among some of the oldest in the Ideal Health business. Thus, my frustration turned to hope and I’m really seeing the light now.

Speaking to one of my Diamond Director uplines I learned that while it took her three years to become a Diamond Director it is now only taking folks THREE MONTHS! The earning potential at this phase is phenomenal. It really is.

After we had a meeting this past Saturday with some local folks who became interested in our ads, my wife, Yolanda, became very interested. She’s now as or more gung ho about the entire thing than I am. Please follow her on her Twitter account as well. She has some very good tweets and a great imagination for content that will really carry her far in this. I think you’ll have a blast reading some of her remarks.

One other interesting thing is that this is a convergence of some very hot topics at the moment. If you look at it, people are first concerned about wealth and simply making ends meet or paying bills. Everyone seems to struggle and who couldn’t use some additional income? This is your first though, even before health because having your financial needs met or wealth is actually a gateway to health! How can you focus on being and living healthily if you can’t afford food, healthcare, insurance or the time to exercise?

I know I face this dilemma regularly. It’s so hard to do what you know you need to do if you are working to take care of your children and to pay the bills. Mr. Trump has hit our needs right on the head, even if we don’t yet realize it.

Finally, please check out a few other links to learn more. To see Donald Trump himself give you a short presentation, click this link.

We’d LOVE to work with you. I think with my computer consulting and computer science, graphic design, animation and entrepreneurial background that I can help you to really see tremendous success if you’re interested in participating in the next big health and wealth revolution to hit our nation.

I’m really happy that we have all of the internal networking and support needed to help us to realize success. I tried one MLM/network marketing venture several years ago and was burned badly. I vowed never to do it again, particularly because I tried it and my sponsor bailed out on us. I am happy to say that this is not the same. Not only is the business kit to get started on the Fast Start program MUCH cheaper than many, I now know that I have the support I need to actually realize success.

We’re planning on going to Miami in November and getting a person photograph with Donald Trump ourselves and really would love for you to come along with us. I think it will be a lot of fun.

Shoot me an email, tweet me (of course my personal as well) or just go here to read a little more or this will allow you to request more info.

This morning I feel somewhat sobered.  My wife came to me and said, “I feel like I’m mourning.”  I asked her why and she explained that this economic crisis and the condition of our nation make her feel like someone great has died.  She is very concerned about what will happen next and as to what our children will be facing.

I, too, feel this burden.  It seems that we have made the full transition from the world superpower to the world’s super-farce.  I indeed hope that this is temporary, but the only way that it can be temporary is if we make some changes. Read the rest of this entry »

Perhaps we should take another route.

I believe that this money, perhaps a little more, should be divided up between all indebted (perhaps more) households in the United States and thus given back to the people so as to allow the amelioration of financial bondage to occur.  If the government empowers families to pay off their homes, their loans, their credit cards, and other debt, which will SIMULTANEOUSLY GIVE BACK to the financial institutions we will see a much happier and freer society with the side effect of assisting the financial institutions somewhat.

It may also be simultaneously considered that this be used to free folks from current IRS debt as well. The effect will be a stimulation of people’s personal finances, an assistance of small business owners that will in turn drive our economy much further ahead and raise general happiness and satisfaction amongst the ranks.

Wow, now that is a solution that will have immediate tangible benefits.

Throughout the course of starting our new company I’ve learned quite a bit about “tech” culture over the last few years.  As I continue to listen and to associate with folks from tech centers of our own nation and around the world I do not cease to be amazed at the way in which people communicate.

Rudeness is the singular hallmark and keystone of the majority of communication. It seems that no one can, with respect, kindness and soberness, share their feelings or thoughts anymore. Much of thought seems void of depth and meaning and often when it is meaningful, it is salted with vulgarity or rudeness that obliterate it’s real depth and appeal to the audience.

As leaders and members of the human family, we used to speak with more thought and paced ourselves versus throwing out vulgar rants and crudeness. Can we please try to get back to these roots and raise the bar a bit for society as a whole? I believe that if we can do this that we will all be able to work better together, appreciate deeper thinking and have a more productive society.

There’s a quote that I will paraphrase that has always lingered in my heart and that is that course language is the attempts of a feeble mind to express itself forcibly. How true this is and what a poor shortcut it has become in our society. We need to bring civility and charity back to our world or we have no hope of really progressing together. If we cannot progress together in unity, then, as a nation, we will certainly fully fail.

This article is excellent news for those of us who live in this climate region. I was very excited to see this and have already started spreading the word to those who may be able to take advantage of such things in order to make our lives a bit more efficient in such uncertain times.

I’m grateful to see people sharing this information and as you browse this and other sites you can find a lot more information on energy efficient home building. One that really caught my eye a couple years ago was straw bale building. Some of these techniques can bring you close to underground home building efficiency.

Thanks @jimkukral for pointing this video out.  I found this to be very touching as well.

A couple of days ago, I had a very… odd… experience.  It was about 8:30 at night and a child, probably about 10 years old, called our home telephone.  The child asked if we supported Obama and then fumbled and bumbled around as there was a pause and then continued asking if I supported McCain and how I felt about these candidates.  

It was an awkward call and I felt very moved by this child’s telephone call.  Albeit, moved in an awkward way. 

Granted, this call is great experience for such a young person.  It teaches them grit and the ability to talk to people which is a sorely needed skill today.  Notwithstanding, I feel that it is wrong to place them in such a position at such a young age where they may receive some very scathing and abrasive remarks.  I feel that their hearts are too tender for such activities.  

I politely explained to the child that I did not support either candidate, Obama nor McCain.  I feel that they are both inappropriate choices and that the only candidate that I did support was Romney as he has integrity and we could trust him unlike other candidates.  We certainly need a political savior and leader at the moment.

So, what do you think?  Seems like a loaded gun to me.

We live in a sad and fallen world. There are so many topics of conversation covered in this clip. Some is rather graphic certainly could be considered inappropriate, however we are inundated by this smut (and so much more) as well as the deluge of corruption on a daily basis. I am, however, glad to see others recognizing the destructiveness of our society:

It appears that we need to be more cautious and prudent in our consumption of antioxidant supplements. It would seem that perhaps consuming these antioxidants as a long-term health plan or consuming healthy foods rich in antioxidants throughout the course of your life is the best plan of action.

Here is the article in which this information was recently revealed.

It also certainly strengthens the Lord’s recommended law of health as set forth in the Word of Wisdom. I am ever increasingly more grateful for the revealed truth that our Father in Heaven offers to us as we seek to receive it. He gives us knowledge based upon readiness, willingness to work for it and sometimes simply when we ask the right questions (which is often a manifestation of readiness).

Key takeaways from the article:

It is plausible that cancer cells are at increased risk of damage from oxidative stress compared to your normal, healthy cells. In other words, taking antioxidants might ironically be protecting your cancer cells, allowing them to survive more than anything else.

It is likely that because cancer develops from long term damage to your cells, as in the case of skin and lung cancer, that trying to limit damage for a relatively short period of time by taking antioxidants like vitamin E or vitamin A probably has little or no effect. It is analogous to a car that is already rusted when you apply a protective sealant to it. The damage has already been done. Just as the sealant is protecting the already rusted car, the antioxidant is protecting the already cancerous cells.

Here are some recommendations that have stood the test of time and clinical study in preventing cancer:
• Eat a diet high in fruits and vegetables every day (in contrast to supplements).
• Limit your intake of simple sugary carbohydrates such as white bread, chips, etc.
• Exercise every day and keep your weight down.
• Protect yourself from the sun with broad spectrum sunscreens and protective clothing.
• If you decide to take a daily supplement, the only vitamin that I recommend taking everyday is vitamin D. There is good evidence that vitamin D supplements can be protective against certain cancers. Taking 1,000 mg of vitamin D3 a day is the best way (much better than sun exposure) for elevating your vitamin D levels. More on this in a later post.
