Steam is coming out my ears, and it will be coming out of yours too!

I just began to read another book just sent to me by a young man by the name of Corey Kossack..

The name of his book is eBay Millionaire or Bust: Hidden Strategies That Maximize Profits and Create Wealth or What Most People Don’t Know About Selling on eBay

Corey is 21.

He is a young entrepreneur who has become one of the top 200 most successful sellers on E-Bay.

He wrote to me for my help.

I began to read his book and realize Corey doesn’t need my help, I need his!

That’s where the steam came from.

From the sudden realization that there are people like Corey in the world whose imagination, energy, intelligence and sheer brazen chutzpa is beyond belief. And not only that, but he’s as smart as a razor blade. He can cut corners with the sharpest of them. He can slice it and dice it down and across and sideways, and come up with a whole orange when he’s done.

And he’s only 21.

When I was 21 I was wandering around like a lost puppy.

I swear I was.

I didn’t get to be smart like Corey until I was 52!

And I’m not certain of that either.

I don’t know if I’ll ever be as smart as Corey.

Which brings me to the question: What is it that brings someone like Corey into your life, into mine? What message is Corey sending us, you and me, and what should we glean from it?

That we should have been born smart?

That we don’t stand a chance against someone like Corey (thank god he’s selling on eBay and not in your neighborhood!)?

That it pays to be precocious and very, very smart?

That there’s no hope left for normal people?

That Corey can teach us something if we listen to him?

I swear I don’t know the answer to that question, but I’m going to continue to ask it. Meanwhile, if you would like a copy of Corey’s book, you’ll have to write him for it. I wouldn’t give mine away for anything you could offer.

You can reach him at www.millionaireorbustbook.com .

And tell him I sent you.

And please don’t send me your book!
I don’t think I could handle it!

Re: PLEASE JOIN ME . . . . - Hey buddy, no problem. I don't think there will be any voting out or probation or anything like that. I know where you were coming from. I've let excitement get the best of me on forums before. We all do at some point. I was just pointing out that one post on a topic is enough and it doesn't look good for new members coming here when we delete their duplicate posts but allow us mods to get away with it even if we aren't doing it to promote our businesses. No real harm done though. The way to get more members and let everyone know we are here is to promote outside the forum and get people to come here. Once they are here we don't need to be quite so assertive. All members can see all the sections of the forum and post wherever they see fit. Glad to have you on board!
Re: Hello From South Jersey - Thanks everyone for the welcome. [quote="Carol Aston":1snajxpr]Hi Matt, how's your new website coming along? Great to see you back in here! Take care, Carol[/quote:1snajxpr] Carol. I am running on overload. I haver 5 sites right now that I am tweaking and testing different aspects. About to start putting more of my effort towards my InternetReadyCash.com site again. I have a handful of affiliate web 2.0 sites up that I am testing and soon to have another script targeted one. But I might have to put that on hold since i am worked. So they are coming along gradually. Only time will tell.
Re: Gap Between Rich and Poor Widens - I listen to an audio in 2007 titled " 15 years left." It was an insipration and prophetic message about the economic disaster that is coming to the world. The speaker said we have 15 more years left before the middle class will vanish and there will be just the super rich and the super poor. This post is pointing to the same thing. Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump also said it in their book like wise Felix Dennis on "How to be Rich. This is no news what we need to do is to prepare for the economic tsumani that is coming on the world
Re: What Businesses to Bail Out? - [quote="mbrand2222":2xvskdw9]I think someone needs to take responsibility for it. They had to KNOW that people with no down payments were USUALLY people who over-spent or just couldn't save. ( I actually took a mortgage with no down payment, but I used my savings to update the house and I never used more than 20% of my income as a monthly payment.) They had to see it coming and just had immediate monetary gratification in mind when they created these type of loans....or allowed them to be created. I don't know what the answer is, but I do know it's time to start pinching pennies even if it doesn't seem like it right now, because our personal financial status' could change as quickly as you can say, "Sorry, but I have to close the business today." I just say a lot of prayers and try to keep a good attitude. I should probably quit talking about it because it gets me down. I guess I just want people to realize what's happening, prepare for the worst and hope for the best.[/quote:2xvskdw9] If the people in charge knew anything at all (were qualified for the jobs they held), they had to know what was coming. That need for instant gratification is coming back to bite people in a really big way. Unfortunately, even the people who aren't over extended are going to pay. Its also amazing how many people got into loans without grasping the terms. Before I signed the loan documents on my house - I went through every page and asked a million questions. Too many ugly ways for loans to cause trouble if you don't understand the terms. Shri
