Basic Palmistry Part I

Palmistry is an ancient art and one that has many systems of interpretation. It is also an intuitive art that is easily learned just by learning a few basics about the symbolism that is represented by the lines that run across the palm, the mounts (or fleshy parts) of the palm and the structure of fingers.

In some systems, the right hand represents who you are today and the left hand, everything that you were born with when you came into this world. For “palmistry on the run” though it is best to read the hand that the person writes with, as that would be considered to be dominant hand.

In palmistry, the hand as a whole is divided into three different sections. The Fingers represent the mind and the higher self. The middle of the palm represents day-to-day life and the conscious mind. The lower half of the hand represents primal instincts, health and basic drives of the subconscious. Palmistry is all about proportion, symmetry and distortions of what would be considered to be a perfectly formed hand.

You can tell a lot about a person by looking at their thumb and fingers. The thumb has three phalanges. Its tip represents will power. A club shaped thumb indicates criminal tendency. Pointed or long tips indicate creativity and intelligence. The middle phalange represents logic. The longer the phalange, the more efficient and strategic the person. The fleshy part at the base of the thumb is called the Mount of Venus, which represents empathy, emotion, grace and compassion. The fatter and fleshier this part of the hand is, the more sensitive and compassionate the individual.

The index finger correlates to the planet Jupiter and indicates good fortune and career. The middle finger is related to Saturn and limitations and restrictions in life. The ring finger is called the Apollo. It relates to self-expression and intelligence. The pinky finger belongs to the planet Mercury, which is about your ability to communicate with others and sustain relationships. The longer and straighter the finger, the more good fortune a person can expect to have in these areas. All these fingers have their own mounts, which are located on the palm right below each one. The more developed or pronounced these fleshy mounds are beneath the finger, the more developed that trait is in a person.

The Mount of Jupiter below the index fingers represents ambition, leadership, religion, honor and love of nature.

The Mount of Saturn below the middle finger represents sanity, sobriety, wisdom, introversion and karmic events such as good or bad luck.

The Mount of Apollo below the ring represents confidence, creativity, impulsiveness and extroversion.

The Mount of Mercury below your little finger has to do with ability to sell yourself, communication, quickness, connection as well as writing and mathematical abilities. Sometimes the Mount of Mercury will be feathered with short vertical lines that are called Lines of Affection. These sometimes indicate the number of deep emotional connections or significant relationships in a person’s life.

Right below the Mount of Mercury (below the little finger there are two more mounts. About half way down is the Mount of Upper Mars, which reflects your temperament: if this mound is fleshy then the person tends to be more courageous or war-like. Below that, near the base of the hand is the Mount of Luna (also known as the Mount of the Moon). This mound reflects such qualities as generosity, warmth and imagination. If it is over pronounced it can indicate a tendency to madness.

Below the Mount of Jupiter (follow the index finger downwards) lies the Lower Mars, which deals with aggression, hostility and capacity for evil. The center of the palm is called the Plane of Mars. If the plane has a dip in it you are calm, cool and collected. If it is raised or flat you are more likely to display a bad temper.

The Heart Line cuts laterally across the upper palm between the mounts of Jupiter and Mercury. Loops, bubbles, cuts and breaks in this line indicate relationships and episodes occurring in a person’s love life.

The Head Line is normally positioned and can cut across the palm or curve downward. It is an indicator of intelligence and mental health. An optimum Head line runs straight, is deep and has a long extension almost to the other side of the palm. This more the headline curves downward towards the list, the less control the individual may have over his or her emotions.

The Life Line usually circles the thumb and begins under the mount of Jupiter and extends to the wrist. It encircles the Mount of Lower Mars and Venus and in most cases ends at the base of the hand. This line indicates major life events as well as the health of the subject. The longer this line is, the longer the individual will live.

The fourth main lie on the palm is called the Line of Fate (also known as the Line of Faith. This line runs vertically from the middle of the base of the palm and up towards the middle finger. It is an indicator of material and financial strength. The deeper, stronger and less broken the line, the more likely the person is likely to be successful. It also indicates a serious, business like nature.

The line of Apollo is a vertical line that is found on the upper part of the Mount of the Moon. It has been called the line of the Sun, and the line of Brilliancy, and to it has been ascribed the gift of great artistic talents, wealth and fame. Not every hand possesses this line.

The line of Mercury has been variously called the line of Health or the line of Liver. It is found either on Mount of Mercury or the Plain of Mars. If there is no line you are probably blessed with excellent health. Strong markings in this area indicate troubles with health.

There are many Minor Lines that don’t appear in every hand but one of the best known is the Girdle of Venus that starts between the Mounts of Jupiter and Saturn and ends around the little finger. This line looks like a loop circling three of your four fingers and its presence is supposed to indicate beauty and luck in romance. The hand is filled with all kinds of markings, lines, feathers, stars, and crosses –each with particular meanings.

As a rule of thumb (no pun intended) any time you find a marking on a mound, it usually indicates that something special is going on in that department of your life. Next month’s New Age Notebook will go into more detail about the meanings of these symbols in the hand.

The 10 Most Influential Internet Marketers (Part 1)

This article is a subjective list of the ten most influential Internet marketers. I could have easily included more than ten marketers, but I had to draw the line somewhere. So, if you don’t see your favorite Internet marketer on the list, please don’t be offended. I purposely excluded individuals whom are known primarily for one particular talent.

For example: copywriting and SEO. I wanted to sing the praises of those individuals whom are known as great marketers – first and foremost. And while this list is subjective, it would be extremely difficult for anyone to argue against any of the selections included on the list, as they are all proven excellent and have stood the proverbial test of time.

1. Jay Abraham’s uncanny ability to increase business income, wealth and success by uncovering hidden assets, overlooked opportunities and undervalued possibilities has captured the attention and respect of CEOs, best-selling authors, entrepreneurs and marketing experts. Jay’s clients range from business royalty to small business owners. But they all have one thing in common – virtually all have profited greatly from Jay’s expertise. A number of clients each acknowledge that Jay’s efforts and ideas have lead to a profit increase of millions of dollars. [See our Testimonial pages]

Jay has identified the patterns that limit and restrict business growth. He’ s one of only a very few people who realize that most industries only know and use one particular marketing approach – even though there may be dozens of more effective and profitable strategies and options available to them.

Jay has been acknowledged as a unique and distinctive authority in the field of business performance enhancement – and the maximizing and multiplying of business assets.

3. Dan Kennedy, a Phoenix-based entrepreneur-extraordinaire has won international recognition as a “millionaire-maker,” helping people in dozens of different businesses turn their ideas into fortunes

Entrepreneur Magazine says that Dan Kennedy has “at least 101 moneymaking ideas for any business owner.”

Dan Kennedy moves with remarkable ease from one very different field to another, working with clients in 62 different businesses, industries and professions, earning as much as $250,000.00 in a single month providing unusual direct-response advertising and direct marketing advice, strategy, copywriting and marketing materials, video production and infomercials, and profit improvement systems.

Kennedy’s clients include everything from sole entrepreneurs to huge corporations. Here are just a few examples – there’s the husband-and-wife couple who came to Dan with an idea, a mountain of debt, and failing advertising. Less than two years later, they have zero debt and a home-based mail-order business generating over $200,000.00 a month at about a 40% profit margin. Or, there’s the now-giant Guthy-Renker Corporation, famous for its celebrity infomercials with Victoria Principal and Vanna White, and its Tony Robbins infomercials. Guthy-Renker is a 200-million dollar+ a year business now, and Dan’s been a key member of their brain trust since their very first infomercial (Think And Grow Rich). Or there’s U.S. Gold, a company that has twice increased its sales by millions with Dan Kennedy provided marketing breakthroughs. And the list goes on and on and on.

Kennedy is the “hidden genius” behind full-page magazine advertisements you’ve undoubtedly seen, direct-mail campaigns you’ve received and TV infomercials you’ve seen. In addition to all the advertising and direct-mail Dan prepares for his own products, services and businesses, there are hundreds of clients using marketing materials Dan has prepared for them. His full-page ads have appeared and do appear in magazines like Inc., Success, Entrepreneur, Moneymaking Opportunities, Nations Business, the airline magazines, the tabloids, USA TODAY, The Wall Street Journal, and countless trade magazines. One of his client’s full-page ads is now in its 10th consecutive month, appearing in over a dozen national magazines. In any given month, clients spend over 1/2-million dollars running ads, much more mailing sales letters, and still more airing infomercials that Dan has developed.

And, Dan is one of the most popular, in-demand speakers on marketing-related topics. Ironically for a marketing guru, Kennedy gets almost all of his clients with no marketing! Some come to him after hearing him speak – in 1995, he addressed over 200,000 people, including audiences of thousands in many cities, in his 5th year on tour with famous motivationalist ZIG ZIGLAR. Others come after getting and reading one of his books available in bookstores, receiving his newsletter or listening to his cassettes. But most are referred to him.

5. Dr. Jeffrey Lant has been a top achiever for a VERY long time. He published his first article at age 5. An afternoon newsboy, he started his own newspaper at age 10, sold stock and, yes, paid dividends! Even then media and communications intrigued him. This has never stopped!

Editor of his high school newspaper, editor of his class book, editor of the literary magazine, he also wrote a weekly column. That continued in college — and so did the awards accumulated along the way.

Graduated with highest honors from University High School, Los Angeles, he graduated summa cum laude (one of only 11) from the University of California, Santa Barbara. Along the way, he spent his junior year at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland, where he won the University Prize in Philosophy and became the first American ever elected to the Students Representative Council.

At UCSB he became the University’s first-ever Woodrow Wilson Fellow and was actively recruited by over 60 graduate schools, each offering him full doctoral fellowships. He chose Harvard, where he also became a Harvard Traveling Fellow, Harvard Teaching Fellow, and winner of a Master’s Award for special achievement, en route to graduating with both a Master’s and Ph.D.

Upon graduation he took a third post-graduate degree, the Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies in Higher Education Administration at Northeastern University, where he became the first student to cite his own published work (by now very extensive) in footnotes to his class papers.

After a stint as Assistant to the President of Radcliffe College, Dr. Lant decided to set off on his own. He set up a consulting practice for non-profit organizations in 1976 and published his third book, Development Today: A Fund Raising Guide For Nonprofit Organizations. (Previous books had dealt with English Court ceremonial in the age of Queen Victoria. Entitled, Insubstantial Pageant: Ceremony and Confusion at Queen Victoria’s Court, Dr. Lant became the first American ever granted access to the Royal Archives at Windsor Castle. Another book, Our Harvard, dealt with the memories of eminent Harvard grads, including Dr. Lant himself.)

Development Today launched a busy consultancy, international travel, workshops and direct assistance to hundreds of nonprofit organizations nationwide. It also spawned a series of how-to books that turned Dr. Lant into a millionaire and brought his detailed, hard-hitting, practical advice to people worldwide. (Click here for information about all of Dr. Lant’s books.)

Along the way, Dr. Lant developed an internationally syndicated column carried by several hundred publications, a syndicated radio show on the Business Radio Network, and a string of special reports on specialized business- building subjects.

So it might have continued but for the creation of the Internet and a series of eye-opening phone calls from George Kosch and Sandi Hunter, two Edmonton-Alberta- based entrepreneurs who were way ahead of their time. They persuaded Dr. Lant to come to Edmonton and see the future — the Internet — for himself.

He did. And the rest, as they say, is history.

What he saw in Edmonton, back in 1993, was that anyone, anywhere in the world with a computer and access to the Internet could transmit unlimited amounts of information to people worldwide. In a moment, the glimmer of an idea took form that is still being developed right now.

This new technology opened the possibility of staying at home and helping people worldwide at little or no expense! As a result of that trip, Worldprofit Inc., a company which has opened the Internet to business people worldwide, people who want to enter and profit from new markets across the universe for their products and services, was born!

These days Dr. Lant, still publishing articles just like he’s been doing for over 50 years, helps business people worldwide understand how the Internet can benefit them.

In response to the demand for his advice, Corey founded the Internet Marketing Center, where he taught techniques and strategies that stemmed from his own experience. His Internet marketing guide is sometimes described as the “Internet Marketing Bible”.

Rudl’s articles appeared in publications such as http://Entrepreneur.com, the U.S. Small Business Administration’s -SCORE.org, the Direct Marketing Association, MarketingProfs, Opportunity World, Money ‘n’ Profits, Dig-IT Now, and Home Business Journal.

Before beginning his business career, Rudl was a motocross driver, winning a 2002 Vancouver Molson Indy sports car event.

On June 2nd 2005, Rudl was riding in a Porsche Carrera GT driven by Benjamin Miles Keaton, on a track that was also being used by a local Ferrari sports club. Keaton, trying to avoid a queued car, hit a concrete barrier on the passenger side, killing Rudl.

The Sexiest Hotel in World — Part 1

A real, new ‘Garden of Eden’?

The Adam & Eve Hotel — in the Belek region of Antalya, Turkey

This new hotel’s expansive press release claims…

“It’s Sexiest Hotel in the World!”

And it goes on to say that, “The Adam & Eve Hotel is the latest agent provocateur of pleasure in the Mediterranean — with soft white floors and floor-to-ceiling mirrors that reflect views of the surrounding pine forest and the turquoise waters of the Sea — which serve as a backdrop for whatever life guests want to lead…”

But, what’s the reality…?

What follows is not the company-line you’ll read if you visit the Adam and Eve Hotel website, but we think it’s a lot more interesting… It’s the first hand impression of human-interest columnist Onur Bastürk (Hürriyet Newspaper) — when he paid a visit to the Hotel (after its delayed opening) with his special Eve in early December.

Onur says…

There has been non-stop advertising for a year… the opening date was postponed… I’m talking about the Antalya ‘Adam and Eve Hotel’.

So what are the rumors, myths, and facts about this fabulous hotel?

Well, one of the rumors I had heard was that VIP customers upon arrival, besides their own room key, would be given another room key. That key would open a special door, right around midnight, to a surprise party, where all the carnal pleasures awaited.

Another rumor was that couples would find an extraordinary ‘sex box’ upon entering their rooms. When they’d open it they’d find every imaginable sex-toy they might need ‘for playing house’.

At this very moment, I’m seated in my large (64 square meter) standard-sized room at the Adam and Eve Hotel — together with my special ‘Eve’ right next to me. But on entry, neither a second key nor a ‘sex box’ did we receive.

In other words, those first two rumors are just hot air, probably (…unless you’re a very special guest).

But what are the facts? Let’s explore a few of the hotel’s features — to see if your eyes pop out (or not) about this sexy hotel legend…

In Part 2 — The ‘Top 6 Features’ of ‘The Sexiest Hotel in the World’…

The Mobile App Revolution: Why You Should Be a Part of It

If you have a business, then you must be aware of the fact that mobile apps are bringing great changes in how people do their work, shop or connect. Applications are becoming the bridge between the customers, employees and the products or services. And the rise of smart phones has created a thriving market for the mobile apps and this has in fact helped businesses to increase their productivity by effectively mobilizing their resources and enhancing the user experiences. Though the process is gradual and iterative, mobility has brought in a huge change in the way businesses operate.

Here is why you should be a part of the mobile app revolution

Simplicity in the front end:

Having a mobile application for your business would result in giving easy access opportunities to your customers. It helps them to reach out to you any time of the day and even on the go. The easy front ends of enterprise apps are often attractive and intuitive so that people can enjoy while availing various services. Not only shopping, people can also play, watch movies, listen to music and do various other works without having much trouble. Mobile app brings with it the freshness that today’s business can no more afford to miss.

Keeps the users more engaged:

Building an app is easy, but creating something that can keep your customers engaged may be difficult. Mobiles have become an integral part of human life and so it is the best device through which you can keep your audiences engaged. It is by developing a mobile application that you can help employees become more productive and keep your customers hooked to your business. Offering personalized information or message is easy with such apps and this increases the chances of conversion.

Mobile centric business

If online business owners want to develop a revolutionary app, then they must adopt a mobile centric approach. They need to think of mobile first and if they can adopt a long term mobile centric vision, then they can easily develop applications that ensure great experiences and are also integral to all their applications. The trend of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) environment has also changed the way business owners think today. If they want to be at par with the latest trends and technologies, then it is a must to develop a mobile app for the business.

Reach out to a wider market base:

For making a business successful, it is important to have a huge market base. And this is possible by developing a mobile application that can be accessed from any device and OS. The mobile app can easily be accessed even on the go and people can gather information about the products and services anytime and from anywhere. It also helps to target a huge market base as there is no geo limitations. People can easily access your app and get the desired information.

Mobile centric strategies are the ultimate future of all enterprises and it is very important that businesses realize the importance of leveraging mobile platforms that helps them to effectively address the varied challenges that includes integration, scalability, security while enhancing the user convenience.

Types Of Online Business (Part 3)

E-commerce Stores

Another type of online business is an e-commerce store where you can sell your own products (digital or physical) or someone else’s products through drop-shipping. When selling your own products you need to make sure that you have enough space to house the products and once an order is placed, you need to ship them to your customers. With the drop-shipping model, the manufacturer will house the products and also ship them; you will only need to provide the online platform where customers can choose the products they would like to purchase and where they can pay. Once an order is placed, you need to pay the manufacturer the agreed amount for the product and shipping and he will take care of the rest. Ultimately you act as a middleman who attracts the customers, sells the products but have none of the hassle of housing or shipping the goods.

You can also set up your own store on eBay or Amazon and sell products provided by worldwide suppliers found on Alibaba.com and WorldwideBrands.com

The App Model

The App model for online business entails the creation of applications for use by smartphone users as well as for desktop use. After developing an application, you can either distribute it as a free or paid application. It is possible to make money through both free and paid applications.

In the case of paid applications for mobile phones, for example, the applications are paid for in incremental terms. These prices start from as low as $0.99 and increase incrementally. When using Apple as your app store front, you can receive as much as 30% of each app you sell. While the individual app sales may seem negligible, the cumulative sales can net you significant revenue.

The greatest advantage of selling your application is the potential to generate income. Additionally app stores such as Apple are more receptive to paid applications than they are to free ones.

The major source of income for free applications is pay-per-click advertising, which works on a similar premise as AdSense. It is also possible to make money with in-app spends or by using the free application as a preview for the paid variation of the application. You can use various advertising companies to add advertisements into your free application. These include Google Adsense, GreyStripe, iAd, Admob, Brightroll, among others.

The most attractive benefit of free apps is that you can continue to make money even after people have downloaded the application. On the contrary, paid apps only allow you to make money once, when the application is bought, unless it features in-app advertisements. You are also more likely to reach a greater audience because more people are inclined to download a free application than they are with a paid one.

APIs And Access To Data

An Application Programming Interface is a source code interface created and offered for other users to use it. An example of an API is Google Maps, which hosts snippets of data that relate to geo-location and mapping. Another great example is Facebook applications.

Through an API, developers can create applications that enhance users’ experience. Through APIs, websites are able to communicate with each other and use each other’s technological creations to come up with inventive products. One of the benefits of creating an open or free API is that it has the capacity to create backlinks to your e-commerce website. This can go a long way in boosting your rankings at the search engines, thereby generating free marketing for your e-commerce website and your business.

It is important that you limit the number of APIs you create and distribute, especially if you are looking to make money through the APIs. Limiting your APIs creates a demand for them, allowing you to charge a premium price to users who are interested in the API.

This model of online business offers companies the opportunity to specialize at a single stage of the data-access value chain. This is because the production or creation of data is typically a complex and intensive process that entails the use of human and technological resources. Nevertheless, once this data is developed, you are able to sell it to other users who will then develop the application further and perhaps sell it to other users down the value chain.

Application Programming Interfaces offer companies the opportunity to utilize web resources to release their processed output in a way that they themselves can control. In this way you, as the data publisher are in a position to provide the data freely for all users to access without jeopardizing your profit margins.

Ideas For Starting a Part Time Business From Home

The economy today has forced people into finding ways to make additional money to help cover their monthly bills. One thing people are considering doing is starting a home business of their own.

If you already have a job or stay at home to look after your children you probably want to do this on a part time basis. In this article we will give an overview of 10 different part time home business ideas!

1. Provide a service online for something you have a talent for. Web design is always needed. So is installing a blog, graphic design and search engine optimization.

There are many internet marketers who do not have time to do everything for themselves so they are keen to outsource things. It is possible to make a good income by providing these sorts of services on a part time basis.

2. Sell things on eBay. eBay is still very popular and is an excellent way of making some additional cash in your spare time. Virtually anything can be bought and sold on eBay which makes it possible for you to develop a home business of your own.

3. Start a drop in day care center. Drop-in daycare is interesting in that people do not always know in advance when they might want to do something without their kids. Making yourself available when parents need you most is a great way to make money part time from the comfort of your own home.

4. You could offer tutoring for children who need some extra help with their school work. You could specialize in an area that you are talented in such as English or History.

5. Create portraits for families. If you have a talent for painting there is a never ending supply of potential customers for your talents.

6. Set up a scrap booking business. Most people have pictures piled in boxes that need to be neatly organized and you can get paid doing it for them.

7. Do you like pets? Offer to walk, groom, feed, and provide companionship or other things an owner needs help with.

8. Start a resume service. More people are in the market for jobs today, than there has ever been in the past, and many of them do not have a resume.

9. Become a blog writer. There are thousands of blogs online that need someone to help add content to them.

10. Start your own niche affiliate internet business. Getting paid to sell other people’s products in a niche you have an interest in is a great way to make extra money.

As you can see you’re only limited in the types of part time home business ideas you can come up with. If you can solve people problems by filling a need you can get paid to do it.

How to Start a Business From Home and Make Money Online – Your Step by Step Guide to Success Part 2

If you’re looking to start a business from home and make money online, you don’t want to go it alone. The home based business industry is the fastest growing industry for a reason, but many people are making the same mistakes over and over again. After all, the online business world can be an intimidating arena to step into with no experience or background. The good news is that you really don’t need any experience. You can avoid a lot of the basic mistakes that most people make by connecting with a mentor and following this simple step by step guide to setting up online businesses from home. If you’ve already read part one, hopefully you’ve followed those first steps, and connected with a mentor who can help guide you through these steps and support you in your success.

Step 1 – Find a Product or Service To Offer

Again, going it alone is not recommended, especially for the beginner. There are some great companies that you can partner with that will give you the opportunity to offer their products, training programs, or services. Creating your own product this early in the game is not recommended. But the skills you learn as you represent someone else’s products can be directly translated as soon as you’re ready to launch your own, if you decide to.

For now, focus on finding something that is UNIQUE and can STAND ALONE apart from any business opportunity. It must be unique; otherwise someone will replicate it and sell it for less. This can happen faster than you could possibly imagine, so be sure you’ve got this element handled. The standalone piece is crucial as well. Some online business opportunities are really only selling their business opportunity, and will paint dazzling pictures for what’s possible for a select few. However, when it comes down to it, companies like this with no standalone product will be shut down, because that is illegal. Find something you can stand behind and believe in, whether it’s a product, training program, service, or even a person.

Step 2 – Set up Your Websites and Landing Pages

These will be where you drive your customers where they can enter their information (so that you can follow up) and have the opportunity to learn more about your product/training/service and make a buying decision. There are companies out there that can set up customized landing pages and websites for you (Marketing Burst), so that you don’t have to go to the trouble of learning all of the complicated ins and outs of search engine optimization (SEO), meta tags, and keyword optimization. For the beginner these are ideal. Then later on you can create your own when you have the skill set. Partnering with the right company can often mean you have several pre-set custom landing pages and websites already optimized for you, ready at the push of a button. This would be another major advantage for the beginner and the person looking to get results fast.

Step 3 – Set Up Your Auto responders

Auto responders are a key tool when you start a business from home to make money online. Basically, they are a set of pre-written emails that get sent automatically to your prospects after they submit their information on your landing page. If you want to get results like the pros, you’re going to need to use the same tools they use. The good news is, there are some great companies that offer free programs that will set up capture forms (to collect your prospect’s name, email, phone, etc.), manage all of your pre-written emails to your prospects, track stats, and act as a contact manager (for example, Get Response, or Aweber). Remember that this is how you’re building a relationship with your new prospect. Focus on helping them find what they’re looking for, and providing them with great value.

Step 4 – Set Up Your Sales Funnel

You’ll want to establish a funnel system that can qualify your prospects for you in a step by step fashion. A funnel system helps them to understand what it is you have to offer, and gives them an opportunity to have their questions answered. This often involves an opt-in or landing page, a website, a webinar or teleseminar presentation, a 3-way call, and ultimately a conversation between with you. The beautiful part about online businesses from home is that the first 3-4 of those steps can be done on autopilot while you sleep, play with your kids, hit the golf course, or travel the world. Once again, partnering with a solid company would likely mean these are already in place for you.

Step 5 – Drive Traffic!

The name of the game in real estate is location, location, location. When you start a business from home to make money online, the name of the game is traffic, traffic, traffic! You probably now understand that with your funnel system in place, being successful online simply becomes a matter of getting as many people through that funnel as possible. If your product is right for them, and the timing is right, they’ll buy. If not, they won’t, and you move on to the next person. It’s very much a numbers game. So long as your system is working, more traffic means more sales.

There are so many ways to learn to drive traffic to your landing pages and websites. Generally speaking there are two approaches – you can work for your traffic, using free methods but putting in your own time and energy (writing articles, producing videos, using social media), or you can pay for your traffic (using piggy backing methods placing banners on high traffic websites, running PPC campaigns, etc.)

Follow these simple steps for setting up online businesses from home and you’ll be well on your way. Why do so few people who start a business from home make money online? Simple. They ignore these simple, time tested, proven steps to success. Take control of your future. Connect with your mentor and start creating the life you deserve today.

How To Make Great Money Part Time Buying And Selling Domain Names – Part One

This truly is the business to get into in 2005. It’s a red hot opportunity that savvy investors can make a killing on when you know how. And this article will walk you step-by-step through the money-making process.

Don’t be put off by the term “investors”. I’m not talking big money down here. As long as you’ve got a spare £5 a week then great money can be made for only half an hour of your time. Like the sound of that? Thought so.

There’s a few ways you can make money buying domain names and selling them on for profit. And I mean PROFIT. You’ll see why people will be scratching at your door to buy off you in just a moment.

Let’s start with the basics.

All domain names are only registered for a limited amount of time.Registrars can choose to use the name for a period of between 1-10 years. After this the rights to these domain names expire and the user has to renew the name again. If they don’t do this it will be placed on hold for a short time and then deleted. This means it is then available for anyone who wants to buy it!

This Is Where You Can Cash In!

20,000 expired domain names are made available each and every day. Some of them are very attractive and well-established names.

Example. Last year the owners of Race.com carelessly didn’t renew their registration fee. It was grabbed (the term used to describe purchasing an expired name) by a savvy ‘investor’ for a few pounds and sold for thousands and thousands back to the old owner.

The owner was willing to pay huge sums for to the investor because he had built up qualified traffic over X amount of years and didn’t want to lose all the previous custom.

Now I admit that making a sale for thousands is rare, but is certainly possible.

The likeliness is that you can buy a domain name and register it for £5-£50 and then sell it on for anything from £150 – £1000. Do this with five domain names a week, and your looking at a big sum of money for only a couple of hours work.

It’s not just businesses that have carelessly let their domain name that will buy off you. It’s other businesses too that will buy the name to get the old owners’ traffic. It’s a legitimate way of increasing your customer base.

And if the old owner and a new potential owner get into a bidding war…well..the sky really is the limit.

So there’s two main reasons why people will be willing to pay YOU a couple of hundred pounds for a domain name.

a) They carelessly let the domain name expire. That means that they will pay you to get the name back to ensure that they don’t lose their existing traffic that they may have built up over years and years.

B) They are a business in the same field as the one that has let the name expire and therfore will pay you to secure the exisitng custom of a rival.

Here’s step-by-step how you go about this fantastically profitable part time business.

There are several sources of expired domain name information and reserach tools, some free and some that require a payment of a fee.

http://www.wehavethem.com supplies lists of names due to be deleted. http://Www.DeletedDomains.com allows you to do some searching free and more extensive searching for a $99 annual fee.You can search for names that are due to be deleted and also allows you to bid on newly deleted names that have already been grabbed by other ‘investors’.

What you are looking for is an expired domain name with traffic in the last month of anything over 1500. Ensure that the site is an actual consumer site. There’s no point buying a domain name if the previous site wasn’t selling any goods.

If you see a site that had tens of thousands of visitors in the last month GET IT. The likeliness is that the previous owners will be itching to get their name back off of you due to its obvious success.

Also if you see a name with a large qualified traffic thats due to expire and has a high traffic volume use an automated grabbing system such as http://www.snapnames.com and http://www.pool.com. These will ensure the second they become available you will have registered them. The cost is about $60 but only if they get the names for you. Definately worth it in my eyes.

Remember you could easily sell the name for hundreds, maybe thousands.

In part 2 we’ll take a look at how you go about selling the names once you have acquired them. But in the mean time here’s a few domain names which were up for sale at the time of writing this article. Now obviously not all names sell for this much, but it’s a very real possibility that you could stumble across a gem in your business.

my.com $750,000

lovelife.com $350,000

fights.net $16,000

diet.us $35,000

askdoctors.com $7,500

dietary.info $6,000

lovemaking.info $10,000

textmeassage.net $17,000

ejobmarket.com $1,800

smokers.tv $5,000

teens.org $22,000

raregifts,com $20,000

The profits in this business are like no other. Now it’s your turn to get your hands on your share in the billion dollar industry of buying and selling domain names.

Until next time…

The Secret Seduction Society Part III

The history of the seduction community.

There have been many infamous seducers throughout history ranging from Casanova to even Elvis Presley. But no group or society of people existed for any length of time who shared information between each other that really worked.

The first book on the general topic of flirting with and seducing women was written by Eric Weber in 1970 and called “How to Pickup Girls”. A pretty basic book by today’s standards and knowledge of social dynamics but it still set the path for the beginnings of the seduction society.

In the early 1980’s two Californian seduction and dating gurus emerged and started teaching their own brand of advice on how to meet women.

One of these was a guy by the name of “R. Don Steele”. His theories on the art of flirting are mainly influenced by Russian born American writer and philosopher Ayn Rand and her theories of “objectivism”. In the method he called the “Steel Balls” approach, Steele focuses more on teaching men over 35 to meet and seduce young women. Or at least women who are younger than the students themselves.

The second name to emerge was that of “Ross Jeffries”. His theories on attracting women are mainly influenced by hypnosis experts and writers Grinder and Bandler and their theories on Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP). Ross’s seduction style and collection of ideas are called “Speed Seduction” or (SS) for short.

In an attempt to market Speed Seduction, in 1994 Ross Jeffries had Lewis De Payne, then a student, create the Internet newsgroup called alt.seduction.fast (ASF).

The ASF newsgroup really was the true birth of the seduction society. It enabled a small number of men and the odd woman from all around the world to exchange ideas, flirting tips and reports on what worked for them. The main reason that community members use handles and nicknames to this day is because these nicknames were the online names they used on the original ASF newsgroup.

What made the community different from more main stream advice at the time was both the non-politically correct approach that seemed to sit well with guys and unlike most mainstream advice, some of the methods really did work!

Because the community used newsgroups to communicate most people had no idea how to access them or what they even were. So from the beginning the society was only available to those computer savvy enough to access it. For a few years the ASF newsgroup and Ross’s Speed Seduction was the main focus of the community and Ross was the acknowledged guru with little challenge from anyone else. Ross then wrote his book “How to Get the Women You Desire into Bed”.

Around this time male escort NathanX (aka Nathan Xavier) and now sex coach joined the community in search of advice on how to improve establishing quicker rapport with female clients to help them relax and enjoy sex more. He then started contributing to the small community.

Eventually the un-moderated ASF newsgroup became overwhelmed with too many posts, spam and flames. Ray Gordon, another self proclaimed seduction guru, was a large contributor to the flames and spam on the group.

In order to moderate the posts, the “Learn the Skills Corporation” created a moderated alternative to ASF known as “Moderated ASF” (mASF) and Ray Gordon was banned forever. The PUA formhandle took over the running of this group.

Ross Jeffries had had a long run as the leading guru of the community, but from around 2000 onwards other men in the community were coming forward as alternative teachers or gurus. Ross gradually lost his position and status as the main guru as different methods and competing theories emerged.

Some of the best theories, seduction tips and methods were collected together into what was called the “Lay Guide”. Which was really just a collection of posts from the various top pickup artists of the time such as Mystery, Ross, Manic high, Grand Master Flash, Nathan and so on. The “Lay Guide” in more recent times even became a published book and is available on Amazon. It was good for what it was for the time but is a little dated in its explanation of social dynamics now.

Next an ex-student of Ross Jeffries’, David DeAngelo, started teaching his own theories and methods. Allegedly Ross tried to steal David DeAngelo’s girlfriend of the time and they subsequently fell out over it. What really actually happened only they know. Suffice to say David broke away from Ross and created his own school called “Double Your Dating”.

David DeAngelo’s approach (Cocky and Funny) was a lot more politically correct than Ross’ and was able to enter into more mainstream media and became more accepted by it. Ross never really tried to angle his approach so he could reach a wider more mainstream media in the way David has over the years.

Ross has drifted further and further away from the community and hasn’t been present at any the large scale conventions, such as the Cliff’s List ones, for the last few years. This may in some part be due to the fact that he sees all other methods other than his own as copies of his original theories and as such, inferior to his own. So much so he was nicknamed “mine99” for claiming too often that he had already developed theories during his 1999 conference – the joke here being that whatever new theory came out, Ross would claim it as his own and reference his conference of 1999. Even to this day he is refereed to solely as Mine99 by some people.

Without doubt Ross was, and always will be the Godfather of modern seduction and the seduction community. Without Ross there would have been no secret community learning how to meet women and we would not be as advanced as we are in the understanding of social dynamics.

Much of Ross’ terminology and general ideology is still in use even though he has fallen out of general favour.

Another man to come forward was a Canadian who goes by the name of Mystery (aka Erik Von Markovik). Mystery’s style came through an understanding of social skills based upon his performances as a street magician. Mystery’s style was originally called FMAC, Find, Meet, Attract, Close but later evolved to the name The Mystery Method.

Many of the terms still used by the community like “routine” and “set” are taken from terms magicians use and introduced by Mystery.

Mystery method didn’t use the NLP patterns like in Ross’s Speed Seduction and for some guys seemed more natural and less manipulative of women.

Mystery’s approach became popular and he was the first person to take students out “in field” (a community term) into night clubs to demo his own methods and critique his students in what are now called “boot camps” or “workshops”.

One of Mystery’s first students was the writer Neil Strauss, who went by the community handle of “Style”. Neil originally joined the community assess the possibility of writing a book on the people of this odd ball secret community.

Neil, or “Style”, became extremely accomplished in approaching women, seducing women, how to flirt and social dynamics and eventually became a seduction coach himself.

Project Hollywood was born. Mystery, Style, Juggler, Herbal, TD and others rented a mansion in the Hollywood hills and started teaching hundreds and hundreds of students. Other lairs and projects started forming all over the world in Sydney, London, New York and so on.

Neil wrote an article in 2001 for the New York Times detailing his exploits in the community. This spring boarded his book entitled “The Game” which came out some time later and become a top seller.

Many other names, schools and coaches emerged during the period following 2002 onwards as the community became bigger and bigger. Around 2004 saw the more general commercialization of the community as more and more schools were offering and selling products, bootcamps and workshops.

The difference between the community and mainstream dating advice was that the “community” instructors were actually going out day and night testing and improving their methods “in field”. The top guys in the community could seduce a woman every night if they wanted to and had gotten their skills down to a science. The academic and mainstream community was and still is years behind on a practical level of applied seduction techniques.

Neil Strauss’s book “The Game” was released around September and October of 2005 and hit the New York Times best-seller list. Neil compared the community to a men’s self-help movement and the book detailed his journey from being really poor with women to a seduction master.

The “Community” was forever changed when “The Game” was released. The secret society was no longer any great secret. Literally thousands of guys were joining the seduction lairs each week. The once secret society of geeks who had become masters with women had now got itself a mainstream platform. People saw that what these guys were doing was working and people wanted a part of it.

Just after the release of “The Game” hundreds of guys were signing up to learn seduction skills at various gurus workshops and bootcamps wanting to know the secrets.

Neil appeared on a number of TV programs to promote “The Game” including Richard and Judy in the UK and The View in the US.

Later Wayne “Juggler” Elise hosted a TV series in the UK, on Channel Four called “Seduction School” all about teaching guys how to get better with women. Even more people became aware of the community.

The teachers and schools of the community gained more and more commercial success and became more professional businesses. These include the Badboy lifestyle, Real Social Dynamics, PUA Training, Style Life, Charisma Arts, Pickup 101, Swinggcat Method and Master Your Sex Life.

Each dating school now teaches their own style and specializes in their own theories. For example online flirting, night clubs, day game, rapport building, confidence and so on.

In 2006 former male escort NathanX formed “Master Your Sex Life” (MYSL). This was and is the only school of sexual self improvement for men where techniques can been seen and learned live in their totally unique live workshops. Master Your Sex Life is the only company to specialize in the whole arena of sexual self improvement. Every other school teaches dating advice only.

In 2006 Mystery split with his long term business partner Savoy and The Mystery Method corporation to form the Venusian Arts corporation. The Mystery Method still continues but without Mystery as an instructor.

2007 saw the release of the book “The Mystery Method : The fool proof way to get any woman you want into bed”. Mystery took the community more mainstream by appearing on programs like the US Conan O’Brien Show to promote his book.

August 2007 will see the new reality show called “The Pickup Artist” on VH1 following Mystery, Matador and J-Dog as they teach guys how to go from likable, quirky personalities who have trouble getting women into “Master Pick Up Artists”

Estimated 2007/2008, the movie based on Neil Strauss’s book “The Game” and the seduction society has now been optioned by Sony. It is planned to be directed and produced by the brothers Chris and Paul Weitz who also directed American Pie.

Another awesome thing that will come out of the community is the long awaited “Sexual Mastery for Men” product by NathanX. Said to be 10 volumes of DVDs/CDs and book on sexual mastery. Teaching all his secrets skills learnt from 10 years working as a male escort to women. It is said to be hitting stores in Europe and the US in 2008 and is set to reshape sexual understanding for men.

Other seduction schools and trainers from the community are also know to be in talks for various TV shows and series around the world. So you are sure to see lots more dating gurus with funny names on your TV over the next few months and years.

Gradually, the art of seduction and secret seduction community has gone from nerds on a newsgroup to large scale commercial success as it now helps tens of thousands of men every day improve their sexual, social and romantic skills. If all these guys are learning these skills its obvious that those who don’t know will be left behind.

The quality of the available information on social dynamics, sexual skills and how to succeed with women has vastly improved. The knowledge of what’s sexually possible and how to massively improve on our sexual skills beyond what most guys think is possible is available to learn today. Maybe it’s time you looked into the world of seduction and found out what’s possible.

Philosophy of the Economy Part Three

There could be distinguished probably many Current International Levels of Development but for simplifying this philosophical conception we will are allocating 5:

1. Basic CILOD up to 6000 BC

* It is characterized with basic physical individual competition best described by archeological discoveries. Small tribal and on a move large family units mostly on a move; nomadic life.

2. Basic Social CILOD up to 1100 AD

1. It is characterized with growing large empires and settling of tribes: described by the Odyssey and Iliad, also by the Old Testament; and the history of China, South America, Persia, Egypt and Rome. Individual competition had progressed from the perception for individual qualities value changing from mostly physical to mostly organizational when organized political structures and trained armies were most valuable then the individual physical strength; the new priorities required skills and knowledge not being known before therefore the socio-economic structures of the most developed societies and countries at the time established rules and benefits for this kind of development; in the beginning political structures were rigid totalitarian of empires as Persia, Egypt, China and then more democratic as Greece and early Rome then the early feudal structures in Europe. Some of the most important developments on this long period were the development of governmental and market structures; the rise of the organized monotheistic religions particularly of the Christianity bringing humanitarian values very powerful and productive to organize social structures. Economics had changed priorities through this time from basic individual survival of the previous period to mostly governmentally control in the old empires to the market economics of the Greeks and the Romans and to the market economics of the feudalism.

3. Social CILOD up to 1700 AD

The Discoveries and Colonization of the Americas, Africa and Asia by the Most Developed Countries brought plentiful resources to the colonizers which helped the feudal socio-economic structures to start braking and developing into pro capitalistic economics’ structures; the numerous ways for individuals to compete for money and power gradually and in some countries like France abruptly through revolutions; the Renaissance has brought freedom of expressions and high expectations to the citizens of the Western and Central Europe: the feudal structures of novelties and kingdom were losing gradually their powers to the new developing socio-economic structures. The historical developments of this time was affected by the ideas for social justice and the crystallizing nationalism; more nations has been becoming nationalistic with feuds among them; the large holders of power were constantly fighting each other for World dominance and at the same time smaller countries and nations were struggling to distinguish themselves from the big ones’ political and economic control. The economic growth in Europe has ignited the nationalism and chauvinism which lately brought the ideologies; the following wars of the 20 Century were already being anticipated by the building hatred among nations and countries. International trade and business even always interrupted by wars and feuds were already showing the signs of importance for political and economic domination by the Most Developed Countries.

4. Advance Social CILOD up to 1980 AD

This Current International Level of Development is characterized by

* the Global Colonization by the Great Powers of the entire World which process was considered the way for them to grow economically and politically: this kind of competition was giving them a social-economic release tools to let more individuals competing and contributing to their growth; the old saying “to keep internal peace one should go to war with their neighbors” was working. The socio-economic injustice and huge crock between the “having and having not”,

* the suppression of social justice by the governments; in the entire World they defended the privileged classes

* the establishment of the United States of America where individual freedoms and free market economics showed to the World what power such approach holds; it was a mass exodus of people from Western Europe, China and Japan to the New World in search of personal freedom and economic prosperity getting away from their socio-economic rulers: the US became a symbol of the new coming just World.

* the technological revolutions which brought grueling working conditions and pollution;

* the October Revolution in Russia which was already based on Marxism a “pro demand” socio-economic ideology

* the great wars which exterminated millions of people and devastated many countries’ infrastructure;

* the growth of ideologies possible because of the new means of communications the radio and later the TV

* the decolonization of the World which came after the great wars when the great powers already devastated by the Second World War figured out that maintaining their colonies was too expensive;

* the post war Cold War between the Soviet Block and the United States: where the ideologies became ruling their Economics:

* from one side pro-demand governmentally run economies of the Eastern Block and China, which inflexible totalitarian regimes limited individual freedoms and individuals involvement in communist economics was as strictly controlled by the governments which approach in economics is quite inflexible and insufficient

* from other side the pro supply capitalistic United States and Western European Countries, Canada, Australia and Japan which differ in their Capitalistic Economics: Western European Countries, Canada and Australia developed a pro social economics, US a trickle down economics and Japan a pro nationalistic export based capitalistic economics closer in structure to US then to Europe; the pro supply capitalism was more progressive at this time in building business and infrastructures thus it was giving their individuals much more open space to compete: even differing from country to country the pro supply capitalism combined with personal freedoms was giving the business fruitful space to grow and build its structures

* the rest of the World was divided to the cold war blocks’ sphere of influence attaching or detaching themselves to one side or the other: overall socio-economic justice was limited elsewhere in the World as well.

* US established itself as the frontrunner and leader of the free world as a protector of freedom and democracy from the dark forces of the communism. People around the World admired the technological advances and the high standards of life US was achieving.

* the humanization of the capitalism: gradually it became obvious that a Market of a country could be strong only if the Demand for goods and services could support its growth therefore an economics of pour redistribution of wealth could have unfavorable effect on its growth; the socio economic policies nave been gradually changing to adapt these new conditions; the Trickle Down Economics worked relatively well using the competition as main economic tool to rapidly expand the Supply and the Demand was following it up: the expending Labor Market followed as well. Thus a strong middle class of white and blue color workers and professionals founded a strong US market advancing the rest of the World in consumption and achieving higher life standards. The European bureaucracy and the inflexible Eastern Block and China’s communist economics were no match for it; US Economy achieved total supremacy having the best economics for balancing Supply to Demand, low Governmental involvement in the Economy, easy regulations of businesses start up, flexible employment regulation benefiting businesses, strong technological advance as a result of highly successful post graduate education and open immigration policies allowing intellectuals from around the World to take refuge in US; the lower prices of crude oil and other commodities dictated by the huge US Market and strong Dollar.

In this kind of economic environment the US capitalism achieved the highest level of growth and it humanized it by giving countless opportunities for virtually any individual willing to do business educate themselves to participate in the economic competition.

United States of America was and still is the Most Developed Country and Market in the World.

· After the Eastern Block bogus system collapse most of the countries past members started integrating into the European Union structures and the rest open their markets to the global competition one way or another, after China integrated in the WTO and India became a power source of high tech professionals and most of the South American countries stabilized politically the World market started globalizing rapidly the old conception of the Trickle Down Economics as well of the Bureaucratically complicated European Union Economics and Governmentally involved Chinese and Russian Free Market Structures are all becoming more inadequate and inflexible to support the incredible growth accelerated by the vastly improving technologies, the internet’s informational and Globalization effect and overall the intellectualization of the Global competition: the World has been changing so fast that none of these Economics could manage it without major disruptions in wealth redistribution: the main issue for all of them is the Demand to Supply balancing when giving more Individuals access in the Global competition and in the same time improving their social structures of access to good education, care for the elderly and the socially disadvantaged, and the over all social stability; building and maintaining their infrastructures and fighting the increasing treat of the fundamentalistic terrorism.

* the dehumanization of the capitalism: the system of Trickle Down Economics based on the Ideology of Capitalism was working fine:

· up until the point where the competition has become Global and the Conglomerates have started exporting all their jobs abroad to a cheaper labor and thus disrupting the Supply to Demand Balance;

· up until Japan overrun US in automobile and many high tech products market share;

· up until the point when the Eastern Communist Block was dismantled and millions of skilled workers flooded the Western and US labor markets;

· up until the point where China released its huge Market to a freer Market business;

· up until the point when India flooded US with its high tech educated specialists and many high tech and software conglomerates open their RC there

· up until the point where the profit margins of the small to medium US corporations doing business only on US soil have been tightening profit margins unable to compete to the cheaper import and raising prices of imported commodities:

So after all these and other developments on the Global Markets the US Economics based on the ideology of capitalism has been becoming inhumane: the middleclass has been losing ground, the good education has become very expensive, the infrastructure has been aging as a result of the shortage of capital as a result of the deficit triggered by the global wars on terrorism and weakening or not growing enough US Economy: the overall capitalistic balance of Supply to Demand has been disrupted and a new Market Forces have been emerging which could not be fixed by using the ideological tools of the capitalism or any other known ideologies: these new developments need a pro Market driven pragmatic approaches.

1. Market CILOD – Market Economics’ characteristics:

* Intellectualization of the competition

* short term between ideas and their realization allowing medium to small companies to participate into the global market

* high technological serge on a Global scale

* global expansion of medium to small businesses

* heavily regulated business interactions, contracting and practices

* internet expending its role in communications, education, exchange of information, sales and general business practices

Chapter IV Philosophy of “Market Stability”

The free market competition was in the very foundations of the capitalism and therefore the market economics which too relies on the competition and Market balance is a continuation of the scare resources economics of the capitalism but because of the new market environment it differs into a pro Demand to Supply relativity’ heavily regulated economics. This new environment is prompted by the new developments: the internet, the market globalization and the political liberalization of many parts of the World which will better serve a Global growth; by being well regulated it will prevent business and investment fraud, and uncontrolled pollution to establish relative security on the market exchanges and business practices and by establishing security on the Global market it will allow more individuals from all over the World to participate in the Global intellectual and market competition which will engage their creative powers, improve their life conditions and thus prevent religious fundamentalism and terrorism from expanding their destructive activities currently based on lock of opportunities and widespread poverty.

· Self reliance

The new system will break old ideologies of the pro Scares Resources capitalism and socialism or communism, it will extinguish nationalism and chauvinism the co-products of even previous level of development thus a competitive self improvement with access to Global market of science, investing and business will change the values of importance. The relativity of wealth in the new system is based on the constant appreciation of assets all around the World which means that cities and countries will compete for their location to attract individuals with hi intellectual and business qualities the internet’s communicational and educational abilities will give the opportunities to individuals who in the previous system were out of competition. In this kind of new competition the old created self confidence based on nationalistic belonging, or advance classes or other belongings will have less bearing on the access to the Global competition for individuals therefore the individual values of intellectual power will be preceding and promoting these individuals. The qualities of life succeeded by individual countries and they will be called Most Developed Countries will attract advantageous individuals to move there; such processes are already very well established in Western Europe which sucks intellectuals from Eastern Europe and from as far as South America, and the United States which does the same from India, China and all over the World; even internally for China as an examples this processes work where the urban areas suck intellectuals from the rural areas along with migrating workers: the process of concentration of intellectual powers by relocating these intellectuals is a very small part of the picture of globalization: there are much more advanced processes in action in which universities and companies will be approaching individuals located elsewhere for virtual education and self-employment providing more and more opportunities not relating their physical locations; the psychology of globalization is about expanding global access for individuals to the global intellectual competition; in this regard global investment will play the role of fueling local economies and thus promoting business competition: when the small to medium corporation and investors from the Most Developed Countries have a better secured opportunities to invest Globally the value of their investment will be much higher in the Less Developed Countries or as a matter of fact the same approach applies for the internal for these countries less developed parts of their own regions: this kind of raising the value of invested capital will widen the margins of return and provide the Most Developed Countries with a huge advance of Concentration of Equity which assets will b elsewhere.

The psychology of this kind of development is one breaking the old system of ignorance toward the rest of the world’s problems too: not only the environmental and rising fundamentalism concerns are prompting close integration on the Global scale but also the common sense of limitless opportunities for business and investment expansion with their wide margins of return will push this kind of attitude of globalization.

In this kind of political and business environment the attitude toward Social Security, Medicare, of building internal infrastructure and transportation system will change too: until now there were considered more like a liabilities and expenditures and this will change with the security of the Market Stability which will change them into assets with their equity: how and why this will happen?

Without socializing the Economics the raising productivity based on the growing intellectual and business competition globally and the value of a country’s common assets will prompt growth by the growing Demand: the infrastructure particularly of public transportations will be most valuable assets.

In the Market Stability promoting and prompting growth are the most valuable tools of Economics for a country to retain or maintain its status quo of a Most Developed Country it has to perfect its abilities to prompt and prompt growth.

In a wide margins investment’ environment the inflationary forces will be strong but as we know from the history of economics competition lowers prices: the regulated but free Market Economics will retain its stability based on the Globalization and the revolving and expanding capital.
