Mark Edward Brown says Don’t Be Mad ~ Have a Plan

Mad Success
I have been putting off this blog post but I can’t wait any longer, it has to be written, the truth must come out; in fact the facts are all around us right now and they can’t be avoided so please allow me to point out a couple of facts and then I will share with you what is vital to you success right now.

This is more about You and your $uccess plan than you realize so stick with me and you will be glad you did ~ Here We Go!

Right now in the United States 45.8 million people are on food stamps, that equates to 1 out of every 7 people are recieving subsistance from the government.  Hold on, that fact is true yet, let’s go a little deeper on this because you have to grasp the magnitude of what is really going on.  If you are a taxpayer and I suspect that you are, a portion of the money that you are paying in taxes is feeding 1 out of every 7 people you know; oh, wait a minute, if you don’t know anyone who uses food stamps then you are giving your money to someone you don’t know to help them eat / out of your pocket, that is a fact!

Here’s another fact: America’s standard of living is falling at a faster pace today than at any time since the Great Depression. Specifically, the real median income is down 9.8% since the fall of 2008. Additionally, Americans have lost roughly $5.5 trillion in asset value, or about 8.6% of their wealth.  I am talking about a collapse in the standard of living. That’s what’s happening today, right now, in our country. But people continue to go about their lives as though nothing is happening.

Here’s a no brainer but I have to put it out there just to remind you of “what’s really going on” – stocks are in the toilet, if you have a 401K, how’s it doing for ya?  You don’t have to answer because I already know and you know it’s not good!

Let’s review real quick before I show you the pot~o~gold at the end of this bleary rain bow:

1) Government subsistance programs are at an all time high and your are financing them!
2) The standard of living is the worst that it’s been in three years and getting worse – worse then the “Great Depression” of the 1930′s! (that’s really bad by the way)
3) Stocks and most investment vehicles aren’t working for the common man and woman – if your not investing your not off the hook either!

Whew, that is terrible I know so this is where it all get’s better.  This is where the happy ending get’s a beginning.  I just shared 3 dismal statistics (all true) to jar your brain into getting you “awake” and in the moment.  I really want you ready to want to make a change in your life.  It can be really easy or you can continue to struggle and wonder if and when things will get better.

I want to share with you 3 simple plans that you can take hold of right now and get started with earning real money to help you get back on your feet or earn back finances you have lost because your overtaxed and underpaid in your job ~ does that sound good to you, Yes – or YES!

Here is item number one, in order to really profit online you have to get paid 100% for what you sell, if you like the idea of earning 100% of any sale you make with your computer then click here and get started now.

If you like the idea of sipping luxurious cups of coffee, cocoa, or hot tea while sharing how you are getting paid for drinking coffee, tea and cocoa then click here

Finally, if you are like me and the price of gas is to high and that is driving you crazy then join me by clicking here and learn how easy it is to save money on gas; you can even earn by showing other people how to do the same thing, it’s not hard.

So there you have it; you can put your money to work for you or continue to help big government give hand outs with your hard earned money.  You don’t have to take part in the recession or suffer from no stock earnings or huge stock losses because I have just shared with you 3 ways to prosper.

The rest is up to you, the best part is you don’t have to do it alone.  You can join a team of like minded people who are just like you and only want the best that life has to offer.  You know you are worth it so go ahead and choose 1 – 2 or 3.

Mark Edward Brown’s Video Update for October 2011

This is the 3rd video service I have used in 6 months, it’s Vimeo.  Not sure what happened with metacafe however I can no longer upload videos via their service.  I am dismayed that my YouTube account is still suspended with no explanation so let’s give this one a try:  leave me a comment after watching this video update:

Please leave your comments below and share that social luv with me as well,

Principles, practices, and procedures

Networking image     Do you know of The Pareto Principle?   It states that for any given thing, 80% of the effect only comes from 20% of the cause; in other words 80% of the most favorable outcomes for any given situation are the results of only 20% of the actions taken.

This priciple can be transferred over to your business and life as well for example in most businesses 80% of the profits come from 20% of the clients.

And

In life 20% or your true friends are only discovered after having interacted with 80% of the people that you connect with and form a casual acquaintance with.

I was reading about how this principle was affecting one of my business friends, his name is Ken McArthur and he was talking about how he was changing the way he is interacting with his friends, family, and clients.  He presented 2 lists which I found quite interesting, check these out:

Here are some very common things that don’t work.

  • Trying to please everyone
  • Trying to help everyone
  • Trying to fix everyone
  • Trying to do everything
  • Trying to know everything
  • Trying to be everything

So I’m going to …

  • Please people who want to be pleased
  • Help people who want to be helped.
  • Fix people who want to be fixed.
  • Do what is effective.
  • Know what is needed.
  • Be the best I can.

Regarding the Pareto Principle I am going to follow Ken’s lead and put this information into practice in my life as well.

In regards to finding a way for knowing who’s who in your sphere of influence how do you know who is worth your time and who is not?  Another influential blogger and social media personality whose blog I found interesting lately is Paul Colligan , he had an interesting blog post about online influence as it pertains to one’s Klout Score, you can see mine by clicking HERE <—-

The main question that Paul asked is: “is Klout.com relevant” in the social networking sphere as a viable way to measure influence?

I think that – Yes, it is however it’s not the only way to measure influence.  For example, I know that some of my friends and family do not have a Klout.com account nor do they even care to spend the time learning more about it or setting one up.  On the flip side of that I can tell you that for those of us who are fascinated by the social networking phenomena and how blogging, networking and the internet mesh together to shape and influence relationships, Kout is a cool tool that does help and provide insights that wouldn’t otherwise be available or easily displayed in the manner in which they present their data.

I don’t want to get to far off course so I will close by saying that my interaction with you is important to me and I hope you can tell by previous posts as well as with what I have just shared with you that I want to continue to dialogue and share conversations with you.  I also want you to tell your circle of influence about me so spread the word about this blog on all those social networks and if you have a cool social networking tip that you care to share – please comment about it below.

With my best regards always,

Mark Edward Brown
