Make Money Anywhere While Doing What You Love
Yes, One person can make a difference!
You know the sayings, "Vote, your voice makes a difference", "Vote early, and vote often", (I just threw that one in to see if you were paying attention), "One small candle can light the world", etc. We say them, but we don't often believe what we say. Why not? Because most of us lack the confidence that we can do something, by our self, that will really change the world.
The ability to overcome that confidence "downer" is what separates the successful On-Line Marketer from the “Wanna-be’s.” Those of us that go into this business, and I mean REALLY go into this business, have come to grips with this problem and know that we can make a difference. (Or at least we think we can, or hope we can, or something similar.) To just go into this business to just make money and not relationships and strive just to make a person part with his/her hard earned income is not only wrong, it is against the workings of Universal Powers. We have to give to get. And when we give more than we initially get in return we find that we can make a difference in the fabric of Universal Energy. And we find that one person can bring about change with something as simple as a letter.
What the heck am I leading up to here? Well, I want to let you know about an experience that I recently had that is a testament to the power of one person being able to make a difference.
I live in a small town on the coast at the very edge of the California border with Oregon. We like to call this Northern California while the rest of the state prefers to call San Francisco and the Bay area Northern California, but that’s for a different posting about “What’s in a Name.” Anyway, this town is depressed and behind the Redwood curtain. One road in and one road out. With a lot of old buildings built after the Tsunami of 1964 which are pretty run down. No industry, it used to be fishing and logging and lumber. We do have a prison and we still have the Redwoods, the best Salmon fishing in the Northwest on the Klamath and the second cleanest river in the US, the Smith River and as a result, some tourist traffic. But we are economically depressed, (a perfect venue for a Portable Empire and a Portable Empire builder.)
There is a group of people in town that started painting murals on some of the walls around town, the “Redwoods Mural Society.” They have 4 or 5 up which are quite attractive. A couple of weeks ago a local resident wrote in to the local paper, The Daily Triplicate, in a letter to the editor to complain about all the time, money and energy that was being wasted on these murals. They claimed to have a Dr. in Landscaping, whatever that is.
I replied to this letter. I am just one small person of little political, financial, or social status in the local fish bowl. Yet, my letter did have an impact. The society announced in today’s paper that they are going to start in June of next year a “Mural in a Day” event here in our little community. Something that will help our towns financial strength, bring the residents pride in where they live and make the area more appealing to tourists.
So you see, one person can make a difference in the way a whole town reacts just by what they write. So keep writing, you never know what you might send out that will resonate with someone and will make a difference in not only their life, but yours as well. And if you happen to make some money along the way, so much the better.

Bob,
Thank you mate. I know one person can make a difference. Sometimes it's somebody famous, sometimes it's somebody that nobody would ever recognize. And that doesn't matter, because the person who makes a difference in some way, has allowed an appreciation of beauty, or an aspect of love to flow through them.
Thank you for appreciating the beauty. Carol and I go to Pittsburgh every Sunday, it's about 50 minutes from Connellsville.
To get to where we are going, we have to drive through the ghetto. A very bad section of town.
Many run down buildings, drug dealers, plywood on windows....
Yet... there is someone down there.... maybe a few inspired folks, making the most beautiful murals....
They are on the concrete supports of the bridges, they are on the side of old buildings, they are on the steel security things that cover the windows of the businesses....
Beauty. Someone out there cares enough to appreciate and create beauty, in that slum.
And here YOU are, caring about making a difference, enough to post about making a difference.
Whoo yah!

One more Bob,
I got inspired down at US4.
We flew home. We waited for almost 2 hours at the airport. My pickup was late.
I was furious, he had a good excuse...... actually it was bullshit.
(Just like the reasons why most people never take action on their good business ideas, their inspirations)
So I get home, I see so many excuses out there...... and so I took a concept Joe shared at the course, combined it with a concept we call hooking and unhooking that we explore in my year long Remarkable course, and.....
That is where The Excuse Free World came from. http://www.excusefreeworld.org
Because Excuses are Hypnotic..... Once you start, you can't stop at just one, like those potato chips....
And I see where I could be TODAY if I got unhooked from the excuse cycle years ago..... or if I got unhooked just a little bit more yesterday.....
So.... Carol and I have developed a huge campaign to help change the world....
And get compensated well for it.... That's important too....
All because excuses don't pay the bills, they don't make your kids lives better, they don't lead to personal empowerment, they don't lead to wealth, they don't lead to happiness...
Excuses do lead to crime, substance abuse, broken homes, poverty.... hmmmm
And yes, I know I crazy guy (me) and his wife (Carol) can make a difference.
Thank you again mate!

hello all--
yes I am a true believer that what we say has resonating effects..
I sit at my computer hammering out my words, and sometimes i get delightful responses.
yet as often as not, i like to send the words out into the universe, as an exercise in letting go.
I also am a true writer.
so that keeps me motivated!!!
