The Future Is Not Evenly Distributed…Yet

“The future is here. It’s just not evenly distributed yet.” — Science-fiction writer William Ford Gibson wrote this back in the 1980′s.

The signs of the future are all around us. The evidence is everywhere if we will only open our eyes. There are always clues, but it isn’t until much later that most of the world grasps their significance. Meanwhile, the innovators who are busy inventing our future live in a place of their own. They see and act on ideas invisible to others. But after those ideas are accepted, and then adopted by the public, it’s hard to envision life without them. Take running water, electricity, or the radio, or the telephone, and of course, the Internet. My youngest daughter doesn’t remember life without a computer hooked up to the internet. To her, a computer is like a toaster…everybody’s got one.

Why do I bring this up?

This past weekend, in St. Louis, I believe I witnessed a historic milestone for the future of Internet Shopping. My Net Universe/My Shopping Genie launched a new version of their App, My Shopping Genie. This free App has been around for a while, helping people find low prices on the internet, and it works well. Originally, I understand it was an app to find cheaper eBay prices. Then it evolved into searching the shopping search engines along with eBay. Starting tomorrow, and over the next few days, My Net Universe will roll out it’s latest version of its free app, My Shopping Genie.

Why Should You Care?

Not only will it continue to find the lowest prices for consumer goods, now, it will find products in the virtual world as well. Clickbank is a well-known website for downloading ebooks and other items in a digital format. Amazon.com recently entered this industry too. My Net Universe has created a website that can search both catalogs in seconds.

What this means for users of the app, is that for the first time, they will be able to use one app to find the lowest price for all their needs in the real and the virtual world… An app that will find the lowest price 96% of the time. An app that saves the user significant time from having to sift through thousands of search engine results. An app, that if used will save the average household a hundred dollars or more per month. That’s pretty good walkin’ around money. It’ll pay your average phone or cable bill each month, won’t it.

My Shopping Genie also finds you coupons for groceries and local restaurants. Unlike so called “loyalty” cards issued by supermarkets, the Genie doesn’t track anything personal about its users. It simply scours the internet for the best deals…and doesn’t everybody want to get the best deal?

Get Your Own Free Genie.

Get the free app at www.myshoppinggenie.com. Follow the simple instructions. Install it in a minute or two. Use It Everyday To Save Money and Time.

Earn Money Giving Genies Away Too.

You have the opportunity to earn money with the Genie if you’d like to. Click Here to Learn How. A direct sales or network marketing model is used for the sale of licenses. Baby Boomers, and people of all ages can resist the government’s economic crisis by installing the My Shopping Genie app.

For the purposes of transparency, you should know I own a license to distribute the My Shopping Genie App. But even if I didn’t, I’d tell you about this great money-saving app anyway.

Check it out on the last ten items you bought and see what you could have saved. You’ll wish you had found the Genie sooner.

Next Time, Try Cinnamon & Honey

Will — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 08:46:52 +0000

It is found that a mixture of Honey and Cinnamon cures most diseases. Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world. Ayurvedic as well as Yunani medicine have been using honey as a vital medicine for centuries. Scientists of today also accept honey as a very effective medicine for all kinds of diseases.

Honey can be used without any side effects for any kind of diseases. A few days ago, my sister sent me this information. Maybe this information will help somebody out. I know I’m going to try some of these remedies. I think that whoever wrote this may have exaggerated the health benefits because they are a big fan.

That said, the little bit of research I did before posting this does indicate many of the benefits described below.

[Legal mumbo-jumbo: Before beginning any treatment for any disease, check with your Doctor, who will probably prescribe an expensive, fancy new drug for whatever is ailing you. Do your homework whenever something seems wrong. Often, your Grandmother's remedy is as good as the one "modern science" proposes.] Here’s what she sent me.

“Honey is the only food on the planet that will not spoil or rot. It will do what some call turning to sugar. In reality honey is always honey. However, when left in a cool dark place for a long time it will do what I rather call “crystallizing”.

When this happens, loosen the lid, boil some water, and sit the honey container in the hot water, turn off the heat and let it liquefy. It is then as good as it ever was. Never boil honey or put it in a microwave. To do so will kill the enzymes in the honey.

Cinnamon and Honey
Bet the drug companies won’t like this one getting around. Facts on Honey and Cinnamon: It is found that a mixture of honey and Cinnamon cures most diseases. Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world. Scientists of today also accept honey as a ‘Ram Ban’ (very effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases. Honey can be used without any side effects for any kind of diseases.

Today’s science says that even though honey is sweet, if taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm diabetic patients. Weekly World News, a magazine in Canada , in its issue dated 17 January,1995 has given the following list of diseases that can be cured by honey and cinnamon as researched by western scientists:

HEART DISEASES:
Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply on bread, instead of jelly and jam, and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from heart attack. Also, those who have already had an attack, if they do this process daily, they are kept miles away from the next attack. Regular use of the above process relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heart beat.

In America and Canada , various nursing homes have treated patients successfully and have found that as you age, the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and cinnamon revitalize the arteries and veins.

ARTHRITIS:
Arthritis patients may take daily, morning and night, one cup of hot water with two spoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. If taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured. In a recent research conducted at the Copenhagen University, it was found that when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon Honey and half teaspoon Cinnamon powder before breakfast, they found that within a week, out of the 200 people so treated, practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain, and within a month, mostly all the patients who could not walk or move around because of arthritis started walking without pain.

BLADDER INFECTIONS:
Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of honey in a glass of lukewarm water and drink it. It destroys the germs in the bladder.

CHOLESTEROL:
Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of Cinnamon Powder mixed in 16 ounces of tea water, given to a cholesterol patient, was found to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10 percent within two hours. As mentioned for arthritic patients, if taken three times a day, any chronic cholesterol is cured. According to information received in the said Journal, pure honey taken with food daily relieves complaints of cholesterol.

COLDS:
Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one tablespoon lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon cinnamon powder daily for three days. This process will cure most chronic cough, cold, and clear the sinuses.

UPSET STOMACH:
Honey taken with cinnamon powder cures stomach ache and also clears stomach ulcers from the root.

GAS:
According to the studies done in India and Japan , it is revealed that if Honey is taken with cinnamon powder the stomach is relieved of gas.

IMMUNE SYSTEM:
Daily use of honey and cinnamon powder strengthens the immune system and protects the body from bacteria and viral attacks. Scientists have found that honey has various vitamins and iron in large amounts. Constant use of Honey strengthens the white blood corpuscles to fight bacterial and viral diseases.

INDIGESTION:
Cinnamon powder sprinkled on two tablespoons of honey taken before food relieves acidity and digests the heaviest of meals.

INFLUENZA:
A scientist in Spain has proved that honey contains a natural ‘ Ingredient’ which kills the influenza germs and saves the patient from flu.

LONGEVITY:
Tea made with honey and cinnamon powder, when taken regularly, arrests the ravages of old age. Take four spoons of honey, one spoon of cinnamon powder, and three cups of water and boil to make like tea. Drink 1/4 cup, three to four times a day. It keeps the skin fresh and soft and arrests old age.

PIMPLES:
Three tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder paste. Apply this paste on the pimples before sleeping and wash it next morning with warm water. If done daily for two weeks, it removes pimples from the root.

SKIN INFECTIONS:
Applying honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts on the affected parts cures eczema, ringworm and all types of skin infections.

WEIGHT LOSS:
Daily in the morning one half hour before breakfast on an empty stomach, and at night before sleeping, drink honey and cinnamon powder boiled in one cup of water. If taken regularly, it reduces the weight of even the most obese person. Also, drinking this mixture regularly does not allow the fat to accumulate in the body even though the person may eat a high calorie diet.

CANCER:
Recent research in Japan and Australia has revealed that advanced cancer of the stomach and bones have been cured successfully. Patients suffering from these kinds of cancer should daily take one tablespoon of honey with one teaspoon of cinnamon powder for one month three times a day.

FATIGUE:
Recent studies have shown that the sugar content of honey is more helpful rather than being detrimental to the strength of the body. Senior citizens, who take honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts, are more alert and flexible. Dr. Milton, who has done research, says that a half tablespoon of honey taken in a glass of water and sprinkled with cinnamon powder, taken daily after brushing and in the afternoon at about 3:00 P.M. when the vitality of the body starts to decrease, increases the vitality of the body within a week.

BAD BREATH:
People of South America , first thing in the morning, gargle with one teaspoon of honey and cinnamon powder mixed in hot water, so their breath stays fresh throughout the day.

HEARING LOSS:
Daily morning and night honey and cinnamon powder, taken in equal parts restores hearing. Remember when we were kids? We had toast with real butter and cinnamon sprinkled on it!

*NOTE:The honey used needs to be REAL RAW UNPASTEURIZED HONEY. If it says PURE honey it is most likely pasteurized. It is best to only buy honey that says RAW or UNPASTEURIZED on the label. The difference is that the enzymes are all heated out of the pasteurized honey.

But wait! There’s more…people also report increased energy, more sex drive, and feeling happier/mood enhancer… Who doesn’t want that?

See you next time.

Look Into My Crystal Ball Once More

Will — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 09:10:48 +0000

Those of you who called and asked why I was so negative in my last two posts have missed the point. My post was not doom and gloom (if you are a person who can adapt and change), but rather to lay out the facts as I see them. If you know the truth, then it is much easier to know how to serve others because you’ll have a good idea about what they need. Remember Zig Ziglar’s famous quote: “You can have anything in the world that you want if you’ll help enough other people get what they want.”

People are going to need money and feel a sense of independence. Most people do not trust the government enough to rely on them for much of anything. What I want to emphisize is the golden opportunity that is before us…right now. To summarize, here’s a few bullet points of fact. Then after that, what the current situation could mean for you as a person who has made a conscious choice not to take part in the economic crisis..

• Many people, especially Baby Boomers, are going to need to earn more money simply in order to preserve their desired lifestyle.
• Because of anticipated changes in our health insurance/delivery system, all people are going to needto be more prevention oriented with regards to their own and their family’s health.
• The Network Marketing Industry has historically offered many of the highest quality health supplements available anywhere. That fact is well known.
• Most Baby Boomers will not want to build a business. Oh, they may say they want to, but the 80/20 rule applies to this too. Provide easy access to quality products and you’ll gaina customer. Don’t neglect the retail side of your business. Your customers know lots of other people who may want the benefits of using your product. Get customers referrals in exchange for something of value for them. Some of those referrals might want to use their skill sets to build a business of their own… Hey, you never know.

We have a good opportunity to help others get what they want here. But most won’t want to take advantage. How can we know who we should be looking for in order to build our business?

Here’s some traits I think we should look for within the population. We want to find and recruit: 1) people who are not afraid of some risk; 2) people who have learned to prospect during the course of their primary occupation; and 3) people who are used to and enjoy being paid by production or commission. That’s it. Find those people, especially within the Baby Boomer population. Help them get what they want and need. Turn the rest into customers while keeping your eyes open for one or two who stumble upon the answer along the way. You’ll be glad you did.

The Traditional Rules for Creating Prosperity Have Collapsed…

Will — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 06:01:53 +0000

Today is the start of a series that outlines one of the biggest opportunities of our lives. The possibilities are huge. Events are taking shape now. Before you can take full advantage of the opportunity, let’s examine some facts and history that will put it into its proper perspective.

On September 22, 2008, Lehman Brothers, the world’s largest bank, announced its insolvency. Within minutes, the value of the stock market plunged to historic lows, clobbering investors and individuals all over the world. Not long after that, some companies that were deemed “too big to fail” were bailed out by the US government with borrowed money! Uncle Sam did it even though the majority of US citizens were opposed to it, and our broke Uncle knew it.

Millions of Jobs Have Disappeared. The Media Tells Us That Our Current State of Affairs May Be The “New Normal”. (Personally, I question that assesment because I believe that Americans will rise to any challenge laid before it and overcome it.) We all have seen traditionally good American jobs leaving the country for some time now. For example, a lot of large scale manufacturing has moved overseas where labor costs are much lower than they are here. What kind of jobs are replacing those good manufacturing ones? You already know the answer to that question, don’t you? Does that answer bother you?

This year, the government is the biggest “creator” of jobs there is. Every one of those jobs is paid for not out of profits earned from a company, but from taxes you pay. The private sector is still reeling with a reported 10.4% unemployment rate. In fact, if you were to apply the 1980 formula used to calculate unemployment to today’s numbers, the unemployment rate would be 22%!

For the people who have followed “the rules” all of their lives, this current economic nightmare has been quite a punch in the gut. While Russian caviar and Kobe beef are being served in secluded offices in Washington DC, millions of Americans are losing their homes. People are watching their retirement and investment accounts value dwindle in the marketplace. Even though the stock market has recovered some this year, there are many people who feel that this recovery is a fragile one at best, and are nervously waiting for the other shoe to drop.

After We Get Through The Recession, We’re Going To Encounter An Even Bigger Problem.

I want you to read this very carefully… what I’m about to tell you may shock you and may alarm you. But, it should not scare you because you can take action. The “Old Rules” are dead and gone. They are never coming back. Period.

What is going on in our country today? Have we been brainwashed from birth about what we can expect later in life? Maybe so.

Over the course of the next few years, 78 million people will stop working. They’ll quit paying taxes, quit paying into government programs and start to draw the benefits they have been promised by the federal government and their former employers. The first wave of Baby Boomers began signing up for early retirement from Social Security last year. Two years from now, they will start signing up for Medicare. There’s just one big problem. Despite the Federal government’s promises to these millions of people, the Feds have not saved any money in order to keep their word.

Things are no better in the private sector. The sour icing on this cake is the fact that about one-third of all Baby Boomers work for an employer who has promised some kind of post-retirement health care. Almost none of that is funded either. Many employer sponsored pension plans are underfunded. Think of the Big Three automakers deal with the UAW. Former employees were being covered under the same health insurance provided to current employees until GM and Chrysler were restructured. Those promises now broken, they’re part of a government plan.

The government’s insurance plan to protect those private sector plans from underfunding is underfunded itself. Depending on the markets, there are promises to pay retirees somewhere between 500 billion and one trillion dollars. What this all means is there is a huge disparity between what the Baby Boomers think is going to happen in their retirement years and the funds that are there – or more specifically, the funds that are not there.

The bottom line is that an entire generation is going to be let down. It will be a hard landing because the Baby Boomers are not going to have the life they were promised after they retire, or the taxpayers are going to have to pay an enormous bill. Or both.

There is going to be a lot of very angry Americans who will be forced by circumstances largely beyond their control to find new ways to earn money. There will also be a lot of younger Americans who will be very put out because they are going to have to pay the bill that’s come due.

That’s enough for today. The next post will take a look at how we got into this predicament.
