I keep wondering...

I keep wondering why more people don't do what I am doing.

I have no boss other than myself.

I set my own work hours and efforts and therefore how much money I make.

I have an unlimited income potential, meaning there is no limit or pay scale to hold me back.

I have unlimited training and personal assistance available to me for the asking whenever I want.

I truly believe in my business and every single product that I help distribute all over North America.

I truly believe those products make the world a better place to live.

I receive free tools to help me with my business that others may pay really big dollar amounts to get.

I can take time off whenever I want.

I have no quotas to meet or goals to hit other than those I set for myself.

I am not at the mercy or whim of someone who doesn't even know my name.

I receive a cash bonus monthly if my efforts earn it, not yearly like it used to be and only then if someone thought I deserve it.

I can take a holiday whenever I want and not just when it's convenient for someone else.

I can earn free merchandise or even qualify for all-expense-paid trips to locations all around the world.

I get to help others live the same life I am living.

I make a difference for them, if they are serious about wanting it.

I still show the ones who are not so serious how to make money even when they take days off.

I can do what I want, when I want, how I want, every day of the year.

I am in control of my life.

I HAVE made a difference for others.

I keep wondering why more people don't ask me how to do what I am doing.

Will you?

I took this one a couple mornings ago at the Wikwemikong Marina.  Something about the fog, mist and contrasts created by the low light levels appealed to me.

The free trip from Watkins for 2012 is to the FireSky Resort & Spa in Scottsdale, Arizona.  Other years the all expense paid trips have been to such locations as Hawaii, Ireland, Spain, Mexico, Belize... you get the idea.

Watkins spares no expense in rewarding the Consultants who meet certain achievement levels.  The best thing of all is that any Consultant can reach these levels with a little consistent effort.

Ask me how or take the tour at www.MurrayDewing.com today.

I'm confused, again...

I have very few people that I follow on YouTube but one of them is Donald Trump. I really enjoy his books and even used to watch “The Apprentice” and probably still would if it wasn’t so-called celebrities now instead of somewhat normal people.

Anyway, he was complaining because China has just put something like a 22% tariff on cars made in the USA and he feels this is wrong. I don’t agree with it either but isn’t this pretty much the same thing that the US is doing with its “Buy American” policy? Aren’t we all just trying to discourage or block people from buying products from another country? Free trade my butt….

Don’t get me wrong… I agree that you should support your own Community-Area-Province-Country first, but at some price point or other we all say forget it. I try to support Manitoulin first but primarily I just go by what it’s going to cost me… but some people really take this stuff seriously. I personally feel that the reason that so many of our products come from other countries is because of the power that unions have here. Without them our costs would be dramatically lower than they are now and we would ALL be able to “Buy Canadian” only instead of importing the cheap, lead filled, toxic and uncontrolled products from other parts of the world. It’s great to “Buy Local” but compare the costs and it changes everything.

This Ain't 1969

I suppose every generation needs their Woodstock but…

Woodstock was an event that was highly organized and the people who attended had received full permission of the owner of the property to congregate, celebrate and generally have a good time.

These days it seems it’s OK to just squat wherever you like and be damned with everyone else. City parks are established and maintained for the enjoyment of the citizens who (if you want argue the point) are now being deprived of their rights by a small group of anarchists who are looking to inconvenience as many people as possible in order to attract attention to themselves.

Has the banking system gotten out of hand? Yes, of course it has. Being able to give out multiple loans on money they don’t have just puts everything into a spiral that goes only one way… down. Add to that the compound interest on the interest on the interest on the interest and so on that has to be paid in larger and larger amounts has only one end… world wide financial disaster… and it’s coming. We will all be caught up in it. There will be no safe haven for our nest eggs and inflation will destroy the value of our cash no matter if we have it in our mattress or local bank vault.

Anyway, I believe the problem with recent public events is that the authorities have allowed it to get out of hand from day one. Yes, people have the right to lawful assembly but I’ve yet to see a public park that didn’t have signs posted stating “No Overnight Camping” or something to the effect. These people are nothing but squatters and should have been treated as such from the get go.

Sigh… I guess you know where I stand on all this and by the way… I assume these people have all chipped in to rent “Go-Huts” right?

Bebamikawe Memorial Trail

I’ve spent some time recently checking out the new Bebamikawe Memorial Trails in Wikwemikong. The first excursion was on the longer 4.4km “Red” trail and it made for great outing. It’s a bit slippery and steep in places but the view from the top made it worthwhile.

The shorter 1.35km “Blue” trail is more my style as it is level and better marked. It meanders down to the lake and back and has various forms of exercise equipment along the route. I found the walking enough of a workout for me however and I’ll leave the fancy stuff to the younger and hardier.

My home is near the trails so we’ll watch for you headed past on the way to the trailhead. Let me know what you think of the set-up.

I can't wait!!!!

New this month...

Watkins Coconut Milk & Honey Hand and Body Lotion. AND...

Sugar & Shea Body Scrub. To top it off if you buy the Body Scrub you get the Body Lotion at half price!

How many can I order for you?

I try to shop locally but...

I’ve noticed this before but never understood the differences beween Amazon.com and Amazon.ca pricing.

I’m in the middle of a course right now and having a paper copy of the Napoleon Hill book “Law of Success” would be a big help. I’ve got the online version and the audio downloads, but I just find that I absorb a lot more from the solid "hold in your hand copy" than by reading pixels on a screen.

This is a good example of what I’m talking about…



See what I mean? The US new copy is $24.95 and the used is $12.04 while the Canadian copy is $79.88 for new and $67.79 for used. I’m all for supporting our great Canadian market but why should I be penalized over $50.00 for doing so?

I'm Waiting for Bullwinkle to Show Up....

We’ve had a new visitor lately, a Flying Squirrel that of course I’ve named Rocky. (You’re old enough to remember why, right?) He (or she) appears just about every night between 9:45 and 10:00 and only stays long enough to fill his cheek pouches with sunflower seeds just once and then disappears until the following night.

I haven’t seen one of these things in years and it’s quite a novelty to me. It has the complete opposite attitude to the daytime red squirrels that used to drive me crazy before they learned to stay away or else. Those characters would just keep hauling seed until it was all gone and were always nervous for some reason… heh, heh, heh. This little fellow will watch us, looking in through the windows while we watch him looking out through the windows. If I open the door to the deck he takes off fast enough but as long as we study him quietly he appears to be doing the same to us.

I hope he hangs around a while as he fits in quite nicely with the neighborhood. He's quiet, not greedy, minds his own business and is just a good friend so far. I hope it stays that way.

I Never Kid About Money...

“It’s 106 miles to Chicago, we’ve got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark, and we’re wearing sunglasses… hit it.”I once worked up an entire presentation on proper planning for the Lions Clubs based on this quote from The Blues Brothers. Their methods were a little out of the ordinary but who wants to be bored and stick to the same old routine anyway.

You see, this is the time of year when I traditionally set out some goals for the period to come. I have to admit that I didn’t hit my 2010 targets but I guess I can’t complain too much… for a change. We helped some people make some extra money and made a couple dollars ourselves and that’s generally a good thing on the old balance sheet right? I had planned on moving up a rung on the ladder in my business but instead actually took a couple steps back. This was a bit of a surprise but still an accepted reality and there are no regrets because I know that this is one of the best businesses in the world to be in and just keeps on getting better all the time.

I worked for the same company for thirty-five years and have no regrets about that either but the reality is that if I’d started doing then what I’m doing now I could easily have retired in 1978 instead 2008. These days I set my own hours, determine my own salary, take vacations when I want, stay home all day if I want and at the same time I get to help other people move ahead in their lives.

So… what do we set down for 2011? I’m trying out a couple new advertising avenues that are really working out well. They are much cheaper and I’m getting just as many prospects coming into the chain as through the more expensive methods. I’ll be scheduling more time and effort to help others advance and will be concentrating less on my own bottom line and more on theirs. Their victory will also be mine and can you say WIN-WIN?

Anyway, regardless of who you are or what you are doing if you haven’t got some definite goals written down and preferably stuck up on the wall somewhere to be seen every day well… you just have yourself a nice routine year.

As for me… I’m moving ahead. See ‘ya there!
