What do you do when things get tough for you? Remember how you handled the last challenge, either do the same or change your response. Maybe you’re asking just what am I talking about? Well, I think the first thing that you thought of when you read the title of this article was the economy. I'm definitely not a mind reader. But one thing I do know things are tough right now. And 98 % of us are feeling it.
The US dollar is down across the globe and many are saying gold will continue to rise in value. Who knows for sure? What I do know for sure is things are expensive out there. My wife and I spend more than we want to right now for the essentials. When I go food shopping with her, I find myself shaking my head from left to right as I glance at prices.
It becomes so easy for me to become critical of everything. I don't know about you, but when my pocket takes a hit I get perturbed. Sometimes that's good but sometimes that bad. It doesn’t help me or my family if I'm constantly complaining about high prices and low returns.
A change is needed. Yes, the economy needs to be corrected, but more importantly, my attitude needs to be adjusted. Too much rides on how I handle things. I have a wife, a son, a daughter and grandchildren have started to arrive too. So, how I react has a direct impact on the ones that I love especially if negativism settles in as an automatic response to my surroundings. What I need to do is be more positive about the future and to go through the tough times with the right state of mind. Taking the hits and bearing up during hard times is the proper reaction that will ensure a brighter tomorrow.
I think this also applies to how we look at our respected nations and to the leaders of our government. Let’s voice our opinions but let's also look for the good things that we see. It's not doing anyone any good to constantly complain about the failures. There's a lot resting on how we react. Whether we like or not we are in it together. So let’s help each other by toughing up a bit and being positive not negative.
Just my thoughts!

Don't Waste Your Recession!
Most people right now will admit that things are pretty tough economically. Not all agree on what to call our economic situation. The debate goes on as to whether we are experiencing a deep recession or depression? One thing the masses would all agree on is that the dollar isn't getting them what it did five years ago.
Working hard and putting away money the way the generation before us taught us has proven to be less beneficial then what we were lead to believe. I know that I took a hit on my retirement IRA even though I wasn’t investing in the stock market, that’s because our savings are dependent on other people. I remember asking my account adviser if he thought my money would be affected in a negative way by the economic downfall. His reply, although reassuring at the time, proved to be false.
So, we are all being hit one way or another. The question is what do we do? One thing for sure we need to be resilient. That is something that has been true in the past and will definitely work for the future as well. But, where we need to change and do things a little bit differently from the past is in how we produce our income, this will determine our financial independence. Working not only harder but smarter is the key.
The reason I’m writing this article is so I can share with you how I am positioning myself to be financially independent. I truly believe this is the key for future financial stability. The way I’m pursuing this plan is through Internet Marketing, specifically with the help of a great networking cooperative group called, Crazy Foxes Marketing Group. (CFMG) Here there is plenty of knowledge to go around and a willingness to share information assisting me to achieve my goal.
There exist a very sobering statistic concerning internet marketing, 95% of internet marketers are not making any money. Think about what this means. Only 5% are doing it right. The way to achieve this independence is by owning your own business and building several streams of income. This is where CFMG can tip the scale in favor of my business. Click this hyper link for more info: CrazyFoxes the best way to think about CFMG is like a family of like-minded people working together with a set of handpicked marketing tools and a support structure that has been tested and proven.
Because I’ve join this network I am able to give you my valuable products and services for free. I’m passing them on to you knowing that you will see their value by the benefit they’ll bring to your business. Here’s one called “Daily Messages Online” play around with it and make it your own. http://highergoalblueprint2.dailymessageonline.com/
Until next time, may you touch the higher goals you reach for.

Why It's So Hard Not to Catch a Cold
Have you ever caught a cold and found yourself blaming the other person who you thought had passed that miserable affliction upon you? You know what I mean don't you? You contrive this whole hypothetical scenario about why this was done to you and the reason, etc.. Why is that? Let's face it even if that person was responsible for transmitting that dreadful disease, it would have still been only half of the reason. The other half rests on the fact that you had something to do with as well. That's right to a certain degree you made yourself sick.
We don't realize it but all of us, since the day we're born, have built in receptors. Really. We're like walking radio receivers with antennas picking up signals. But, it does not stop there - we also transmit what we receive - Digging in a little bit deeper here - The truth is, the reason I catch colds is because I am susceptible. (I'm a receptor)
It's human nature to feel bad when we receive bad news or to feel good when we receive good news, etc. This ability to receive and transmit is not only about the negative things that we give and get, it's also about about good stuff too. This natural principle allows for a positive effect to begin flowinig when we share things that we're excited about. Here's where we really start experiencing life changing benefits. You may remember the Beverly Hillbillies on T.V., when ole Jed Clampett stumbled across his soon to be fortune in the oil business, there was no way he could keep that a secret! First thing you know ole Jed's a millionaire, so he filled up his truck and moved the heck out of there to Beverly - Hills that is (swimming pools and movie Stars). From the hills of Tennessee to the hills of California, what a powerful picture.
When something good happens you're going to react, for starters you open you mouth and tell someone. Successful people have learned to be positive receivers and transmitters. Now, on the Internet, when communication starts and then snowballs it's because something has just gone viral, "digital word of mouth.." [Internetbusinessmastermind.com -"Viral Marketing definition..."] You may want to click on the link below and take a "look see" at this article . It helped me to understand the term viral.
http://www.internetbusinessmastermind.com/viral-marketing-definition
But don't just take my word for it check it out for yourself - if you dare. Twitter has a cold and everyone that gets close enough is catching it. This is a phenomenon that won't go away. It will not depart from us because it is who we are and what we do as people, it's ours, it's like an inheritance. Facebook is another examples of this. And here's the thing, this principle has the ability to makes us money. I'm not talking about using facebook or twitter as a direct approach for marketing. What I am talking about is the utilization of the principle behind these social sites.
Promoting businesses that have either a service or a product is what Internet Marketing was created for. It's done by getting campaign messages sent out across the Internet from one website to another in a "web" of multiple strands of information. (This from a newbie, how is that possible?) The more the connections the more marketing succeeds.
But because this process has a heavy technical side, the personal factor can get lost in the mix and the result is many people turn away. At least that was my experience. I didn't want to get anywhere near the "techno" part of this industry because I had very little experience with computers. But now I have gained much more confidence for this reason and this reason alone, Internet Marketers have made themselves accessible to me. Now, I can talk online with them, I can hear their voice and I see their face in a picture or video, ask questions and get answers, this has made a big difference for me. Because of this phenomenon, I noticed that I've changed. I'm more willing to get involved due to the interactive experience.
I need to take a moment and applaud Cindy Bolley who represents this type of support which is available at Crazy Foxes Marketing Group. It is her willingness, as a mentor, to go the extra mile when necessary for the sake of helping one person (like me)to"get it" so that I can achieve high financial goals as a Internet Marketer. Cindy thanks ever-so-much!
How Internet marketers really become effective is through the natural medium of revealing themselves. At this point the intended prospect makes a human connection resulting in what I believe is the trust factor. That's why The Crazy Foxes Marketing Group (CFMG) is doing so well with me and its membership. People are realizing that the Internet is human after all. People love it when warmth and excitement are resident within the core objective of the business opportunity that is being espoused. In the past (for me) the perception concerning the Internet was a cold impersonal method of communication but that perception is lifting. What I'm seeing, in some Internet marketing circles, is a system that fosters community within and surrounding its business strategy. This is the latest evolution of Internet Marketing! It is dynamite for the online entrepreneur and a profitable opportunity for network members. One group that does understand this concept and is building on it, is CFMG.
I'm going to get out from behind the pulpit and tell you what I feel about what I'm experiencing right now. I am extremely excited about CFMG. I am a member of this cooperative marketing group and I believe in the values that it upholds. I also believe it to be a stand alone Network Marketing Group with an ability for being an income generating machine that's in it for the right reason. CFMG's mission is to help marketers and those who are looking to become Internet marketers. They do this by empowering people to build a solid income through their accessible leadership and support structure, coupled with hand picked marketing programs. It is truly a win win situation for the experienced Internet Marketer and the newbie as well! Trust me I know. Joining CFMG is how you build a successful home based business.

“Life’s About Maintenance.” A new blog and a new blogger. Hosted by Michael Rizzuti. The host is a no-body but has something to say. Life’s About Maintenance provides an interesting mix of articles consisting of themes about everyday life with a slight element of philosophical thought sprinkled with business opportunities. Self improvement, additional income, getting organized, work from home, are a few of the tastes on the post palate. The goal of the blog is to share, not only the author’s thoughts, but allowing for comments and post entries from other writers as well, all with the intention of providing resources that will help people.
The uniqueness
Blog blog blog - there are so many of them now. What makes this one different? Do we ever get tired of reading new blogs? All these questions do come to mind, however; even with boring blogs, blogs are still one of the coolest things since, well I don’t know - slice bread maybe? And why is that you ask? And I answer: Because, they are the expression of common everyday folks from just about anywhere on the globe you can imagine, and the internet makes it all possible. From work at home moms and grandmothers making second incomes that would astound you to teens with the sole purpose of sharing their lives. It’s all there waiting for your attention.

From work at home moms and grandmothers making second incomes that would astound you to teens with the sole purpose of sharing their lives. It’s all there waiting for your attention.
Unity from diversity
The reason the novelty of the blog doesn’t wear off is because we know that this medium has a unique element to it. The internet. This is where people come together from the four corners of the world, with differences as wide as the miles between them all to find audience and to discover the thoughts, aspirations and opportunities others have to offer. The goals may differ but one thing is the same, the connection to one another.
The immeasurable Internet
It’s been approximately nineteen years from the inception of the internet. “It was only in 1991 that what we now call the World-Wide Web was introduced…” (Your html source – The History of the Net, Nov. 11th. 2008) And we’re just beginning the internet is still in its infancy. So, you see, reading a blog is like looking into a black hole; behind it is an immense background of so many things yet to be experienced and discovered. And the beauty of it is anyone can observe and participate.
A new culture
There are no big “i"s and small “u"s. Everyone has a fair shake in the web culture. That’s another element of blogging that makes it such a popular thing. Of course not everyone has a desire to write and many may never, but that makes it even more marketable. The remarkable thing here is even though there are many websites and blogs the market for an audience however is inexhaustible. We also see that the use of (replicable websites) such as ikarma have an enormous impact for the blogger. The ability to connect through use of links from one site to another is strength for the blogger and for those who follow blogs, because it widens the content by adding another facet. These elements help grow the culture because like-minded people want to generate excitement and pull together to share in their commonality. What we’re seeing now online is networking groups gaining a new and exciting level of participation.
So, why is this blog different? Because it’s all about life online and it represents the threshold of this emerging and ever evolving phenomenon called the internet.
Your input welcomed, don’t be shy.

Just because it’s free does not mean its worthless!
Benefiting from the hard work of somebody else is a building block in business. The saying, “we stand on the shoulders of those that have gone before us” hits a home run for internet marketers.
Think for a moment about the freedoms that we enjoy here at home which come to us freely through the sacrifices made by our military past and present. You have to agree this is a powerful example. Freedom is something that has tremendous value and worth, yet made available to us at the expense others.
The New Plan Network (NPN)with its free report coming on the web-scene, we have in our grasp a masterly designed marketing strategy framed by people working in the internet market industry for a long time. The plan leads the marketer in the right path avoiding the process of reinventing the wheel when it comes to marketing your business and product promotions online. This system has been proven and tested. It has nothing to do with following the newest marketing guru but more about reaping financial benefits from a system that’s tried and true. For those desiring a second income through home business this is definitely something worth looking into.
The old adage, “if it sounds too good to be true, it’s not!” refers to the unscrupulous methods that have been used by some who guarantee exaggerated promises just to sell a product or build their down line. You can spot these typically by asking the question: Is the upfront promise way out of proportion to the work and the money that you put in? If the answer is yes then stay away.
NPN, on the other hand, does offers a free report with the intention of educating the prospect about the $200 per day blueprint. No this is not a gimmick, but a realist goal setter, achievable by those willing to put the time in and a small monetary investment. It’s the blueprint and sweat equity that makes the difference.
This is definitely a great opportunity for the newbie (giving them a head start advantage) but also allowing the experienced internet marketer to multiply their business to a new level of income. This free report has credible value and worth.
For those of you truly interested in finding out more about the $200 per day blueprint go ahead and download here by clicking this word: FREE REPORT

Thanksgiving
Today is Thanksgiving Day. Its a lay back type of morning with some really great weather the sun is shinning brightly out there. Had my first cup of coffee, the Macy's Thanksgiving parade is on the tube and my wife is baking cookies for our family and friend's get together latter on.
I'm thankful today. I thank God for my family and friends. I'm also grateful for the ability that the Internet has given me to communicate to you. And for the opportunity to share my thoughts and the resources that are readily available to us.
I recently purchased Maria Gracia's book on getting organized and I have to tell you I'm excited about the insight and the incredible teeny tiny tips that she passes on. For instance, do have things that are cluttering areas in your house that you will never use but you don't want to get rid of? Well here's an answer. If you really don't need the item you can take a picture of it and keep in a scrapbook then you have the option to donate, sell or trash unwanted clutter. Better yet, if you have a digital camera you can file those keepsakes in your picture folder on your PC.
I truly recommend visiting Maria's website and take a look. You can simply browse around and find out more about the content in her publications. Just click on the help link I provided under the ad below. If you do decide to purchase her book you won't regret the investment, it will definitely serve you well.
I am so thankful for Maria's ability to communicate with words. She gives practical steps to become more organized. And here's the best part, you get to experience the results by applying the tips she suggests. Getting organized makes life a little more productive and brings more peace of mind.
Lastly, I am very thankful for you because you are reading and partcipating and that is priceless.
If you haven't already, make sure to read the article below titled, "Desire To Organized Your Life?"
Look for future posts on this blog that will include other authors who will contribute helpful articles on related subjects.
