The Future Is Not Evenly Distributed…Yet

Will — Mon, 03 May 2010 05:41:05 +0000

“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.

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.

Character Is The Greater Part Of Capitalism

There will always be a tension between capitalism and the other various forms of economy. Indeed, a case can be made that capitalism benefits the poor to a greater degree than it benefits the rich.

The thing is that capitalism (no matter whether it’s “pure” or not, has been much better for the world that its competing systems.

All it takes for proof is to travel to the poorest areas of the US. There you will find poor people with cars, refrigerators, televisions, microwave ovens, cell phones, Internet access, and other products that make life easier for modern people. Travel to the poorest parts of the rest of the world and most of these life improvements will be conspicuously absent.

According to Vasko Kohlmayer in his Front Page Magazine article from September 2009, “Having become something of a derogatory term, capitalism gets faulted for almost every societal problem and ill. Blamed for exploitation, poverty, fraud, alienation, crime, racism and nearly everything else, capitalism is increasingly cast as the great villain of our time.

The bad rap could not be more undeserved. Rather than mankind’s scourge, capitalism has been its greatest benefactor. It is, in fact, the only socio-economic system that can provide ordinary people with dignified and prosperous lives.

It was only with the advent of capitalism that the common man was able to escape the penury and filth of his existence to which he had been previously consigned. Until then, the lives of most people were short, hard and miserable.

Today, as if by a miracle, we can enjoy greater comforts and ease of life than the kings of the past. It is to capitalism that we owe this good fortune.

Capitalism is responsible for nearly everything that makes human existence easy and comfortable. The automobile, the supermarket, the personal computer, the washing machine, the hammer-drill, the iPhone, the airplane, the TV set, the chewing gum, electricity and countless other good things have all been birthed and mass produced by capitalism…

Capitalism fosters freedoms of all kinds and affords unprecedented opportunities for personal fulfillment and growth. It rewards efficiency, resourcefulness, originality and inventiveness. Those whose oddness would consign them to marginalization in less free societies often excel under capitalism…

Andrew Bernstein was right when he said that capitalism is, among other things, “the system of liberated human brain power.” Capitalism uniquely encourages individuals to realize their talents and pursue their dreams no matter how far-fetched they may seem.”

Here’s one of the most concise defenses of capitalism I’ve found to date. Howard Campbell, a character from the novel “Poker Without Cards” by Ben Mack is speaking.

“I like capitalism. What other form of economy allows a person to leverage their common sense for great rewards? More than any other economic system I’ve seen, capitalism allows the individual to stand on his own merits.

One is still pushed or pulled by social advantages and political influence, but your own merits contribute more than any alternative systems I’ve seen. Money, connections, and charisma open doors, but it’s your character and wits that take you to the top. Knowledge is the application of character and intelligence. Character is the greater part of knowledge.”

And even after discounting the abuses of capitalism by the few, I contend that Character Is The Greater Part Of Capitalism.

It is capitalism, and the freedom created by it, that has made the United States the greatest nation ever concieved. A few of the ancient relics of the past that were swept away by the “radical” American Revolution are state supported religion, laws banning religious minorities from voting and holding office, serfdom, slavery, primogeniture (definition) and entail of estates (definition). Unparalleled prosperity and an incredible lifestyle for us all is the result.

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.
