Just because these guys have pretty legs, don’t underestimate their power. And yes, they go to the games but the play is serious.

I just wanted to take the time to introduce you to my friend, Brandt Jones. Here’s a picture of him with his son. I needed to get more details about these pics but I forgot. Next time I see him I’ll get more info and edit this post.

This is a great photo. You would never guess this guy has such a gentle spirit. Isn’t it funny how you just connect with some people? I see Brandt about once, maybe twice a month and from those visits of maybe 15 or 20 minutes we have become friends.

So, are you still making new friends? I hope so. If you aren’t, you’re missing out on the stuff of life.

What’s The Big Idea?

Ideas Happen

When you think about it, pretty much everything started as an idea. Look around you. See that magazine? (It’s the first thing I saw.) That printed piece started out in somebody’s head. ” I think I’ll start a magazine!” Then other ideas made it happen. An idea to print on paper had to happen first. A genius of a person invented the printing press. Who perfected paper? All te businesses advertising started as an idea.

Well, you get the idea.

The Original Idea

God had an idea one time. He still does. His ideas are powerful. When He just speaks, ideas happen. Why, He even spoke us into existence. He created us in His image; we can have ideas too.

That’s what this blog is about.

Our ideas.

So let me hear from you. Just post a comment below.
Now…

The main ideas we will talk about here are about, well, just about anything and everything.

Foundations – like what we talked about above. Who God IS. How do we know. We may even breach the Jesus topic.

What In The World – is going on any way. It’s a fascinating place. A scary place. Science, nature, politics, people, flying, macaroni and cheese.

Livin’ – in this crazy place. With crazy people. Hi Bren, I love you

Internet Marketing – just because I like it and it’s my blog.

And other stuff.

Back To Big Ideas

Never underestimate the power of ideas. They were the beginning of the greatest things on this earth. Some of your ideas are powerful. They have the power to change you, the people around you, and even the world (and eternity!) itself. I hope some of my ideas will inspire your ideas and together we can make a positive difference in the lives of those around us.

Some ideas that are coming to reality currently really frighten me. I’ll share those and how they are right under our noses, changing the fabric of our culture, our country and the world.

Some of our ideas about this need to be transformed into action before it is too late. I fear for our country, our way of life, and the future for our children and their children.

But don’t worry. I know Who’s in charge. And that’s the very reason we need to be about His business.

Thanks for coming by to see me!

Starting An Internet Business?

Yes, this is my personal blog but I wanted everybody to know about my latest project. Jonathan Taylor and I finished the four CD set that teaches the basics of starting an internet business. It’s called The Beginners Internet Business Plan. The focus is on selling information products but the instruction is the foundation of any type of online business. Also, there is a bonus CD that features David Dutton, “The Most Connected Man on the Internet.” David is a great guy and his addition to the set is invaluable. That makes for a dynamite 5 CD set.

That’s not all.

We have also included the Resource Guide that has all the tools, tips and tricks we go over in the CDs. The hard copy is a great reference and the digital copy is a great time saver because it has clickable links that will take you directly to all the sites we mention.

We have put a lot of effort into this so that people who want to get a solid start in their own business will have a fighting chance. There is so much information out there – some good, some bad – that it’s easy to get overwhelmed. This set and the materials that go with it will cut through the clutter.

And there’s more.

We include two videos that capture a couple of our live conferences where we teach, step-by-step, the simple way to start your own online information business. Honestly, it’s hard to convey just how comprehensive this whole suite of tools is.
Check it out at Beginners Internet Business Plan.

Could there be even more?

Well, yes but it is a separate hands-on program where Jonathan and I give 10 people PERSONAL help in getting their own site up and running. It’s called The 16 Week Online Challenge. Every week, via webinar, we will present a lesson with specific instructions on what to do. Each student will know what he/she has to do prior to the next session. If anybody needs help we will be available through the week to assist. At the end of the 16 week term everybody will have a complete operational income-producing website!
Check it out at 16 WeekOnline Challenge

Note,  we have so far just offered the personal training to our local meetup group and already have 6 signups. If we aren’t full by the end of the week we will open up the remaining spots. Let me know if you are interested. I’ll see what I can do.

OK, that’s it for the Internet Marketing facet of my life. Watch for the next post which will more than likely cover politics. Hold On!
