Home Agent - Patent Now Pending

Finally, a company that had a very BRIGHT idea! They have combined the power of tv, internet and network marketing into a thriving business. And the best news is that we can now become one of their in-home agents.

Earning $ every day while taking orders from their customers who are calling into their 800 number after a 30 minute infomertial. Imagine this concept...can you see it? Wow...I couldn't believe that someone actually dreamed this up. Donald Barret is the "idea man" and he came up with a business plan so unique, simple, profitable and ingenious. He eliminated the need to bug our relatives, friends and neighbors. Well...we never REALLY like bugging them, did we?

So this really levels the playing field for many people who have no business acumen. Every new Independent Business Owner (IBO) can take advantage of the training, mentoring and expert team help from the ITV Leaders Teams. Many people have followed the "yellow brick road" of promises to a dead-end heap of dusty ashes. You know - you've seen all those internet ads promising the "rags to riches" stories. The glitzy network ads displaying the cars, yachts, homes, etc, etc, etc.

Trust me, I recognized this opportunity the first time I saw it. I think you will too. Go check them out http://www.itvbizonline.com

Then I want you to come back and let me know what you saw.

Home-Based Business Opportunity

This hardly ever happens!! What?? Yes, I actually found an honest-to-goodness great idea!
When I (cough) retired...I looked for every type of work-at-home opportunity out there. Here is a little list: Trading stocks, trading futures (you know, like soybeans, wheat and gold), then I tried my hand at real estate. You know the kind this is supposed to make you rich? (Right!) Then I tried my hand at web-based product sales. Gads - what a miserable experience. Can you relate? Okay - you were waiting for the punch line?? Here it is:
Are you searching for a real home based business opportunity? Are you looking for ways to earn the same income as a full time J.O.B. (just over broke)? Are you looking for a part-time income or even a home business you can start in your spare time? Well, turn your dreams into reality because I'm here to help you start a home business today! I can recommend a home-based business that can realistically pay you hundreds and even thousands of dollars a month for you to work from home. No, not right away. Take it easy...it takes time to develop a business.

No, I'm not kidding. I know how you feel though - I didn't really think it was a REAL thing either until I started thinking about it a little deeper. If you want to know what it is -especially after all my earlier failures - I'll tell you.

At almost any hour, one can turn on a television and find an ITV Direct infomercial running. The difference now is those watching and calling the 800 number to order products will directly benefit an independent work-at-home business owner. ITV Ventures will be the first ever Direct Response Network Marketing Company; this means no longer will MLM network marketers need to search for leads but can instead have them delivered straight from viewing a 30 minute TV infomercial produced by ITV Direct.

Right now, you can get in on the GROUND FLOOR of this company. But it won't last very long!

ITV Direct’s revenue was over $250 million last year, an increase of 70% over 2004. This year they are already ahead of those numbers. Three of the top ten infomercials running in the world right now are ITV Direct produced. CEO Donald Barrett wants to reach $1 Billion dollars in revenues within 48 months or less and it’s estimated now that ITV Ventures could have over 2 Million Independent Business Owners (IBOs) in the next 12-24 months. Before the pre-launch on 9/30 at the World Headquarters in Boston there were less than 800 IBOs.

The Champion's Creed

What do you think of these words???


I believe in myself.
I have the will to win.
I set high goals for myself.
I surround myself with winners.
I am cool, positive, and confident.
I am willing to pay the price for success.
I love the struggle and the competition.
I am relaxed and in control at all times.
I focus all my energy on the job at hand.
I take responsibility for all of my results.
I have the courage to endure and persist.
I vividly imagine what victory will feel like.
Change can happen, but we have to "decide" to change. So when you find yourself going back to your old negative thinking - ask yourself "where is this going to take me?" Your thoughts??

Conditions are never just right. People who delay action
until all factors are favorable are the kind who do nothing.
-William Feather

The 4Leaf Clover Girl


I've decided on a new name for myself! Maybe you can help me out here...check out my blog and then give me some suggestions. I kinda like the 4Leaf Clover Gal because it "smacks" of good luck.
Now, I'm not suggesting that there is luck all over the place for me, but I can tell you that I BELIEVE in the power of words.

Truth For The Day!

"If you don't know where you're going, you could end up somewhere else."

Yogi Berra

(Do you think he may be on to something?)

Who Am I?

It was almost 4 years ago now and it seems like such a short time ago now...my job was eliminated. Gosh...you would have thought that "I" was eliminated!! Why did I care so much, I said I wanted to retire at 62. So I got my wish. Ready or not...there it was. So I found out something very important.

YOU CAN TAKE ME OUT OF THE JOB...BUT YOU CAN'T TAKE THE JOB OUT OF ME!

There it was! What on earth was I going to do with the rest of my life? I wasn't ready to retire.
So who cares...I was OUT! So, now what??

Somehow, I had to get some order in my life - so I set up my "home office" and started looking for ways to make some cash. Keep in mind that I didn't have money to travel and live the life of leisure like all the literature says. I had some cash for retirement, but believe me, not nearly enough. And forget about traveling, now I'm just trying to pay my mortgage.

Ok, now I've tried about everything - including looking for work. After all, I could always answer phones for a living. Oh, really? Guess again. Now I have to face the fact that "they" all think I'm too old. But shhhh, because we can't say that!!

Once An Italian, Now an American!

My grandfather came to this country from Italy in the early 1920's. Yes...a long, long time ago. He came here to realize his American dream - becoming a citizen. He was definitely a REAL Italian, coming from the province of Calabria... hard working, honest, high moral values. In fact, he was one of the very first street car conductors in Tacoma, WA.

He did study and become a citizen after being here for a short time. He knew more about this country than any average American. And he was so proud to be here.

His picture is still proudly hung on the walls of one of the oldest asphalt paving companies in Tacoma, WA. They will easily tell you that he was the best worker they had every hired. I'm so proud of that!

I'm going to try to scan his passport picture and put it up here soon. Stay tuned!

Is it a dream or a nightmare?

We are all hoping to fullfill our own version of the "American Dream." Living in America - the land of the free and the home of the brave - has to be the best place on earth where we can actually hope for the best life has to offer us.

Growing up in the 50's (I know, I'm old!) there was a great deal of freedom. I didn't have to be escorted to school for one thing. The world was a much simpler place to live. I could actually go fishing for trout several miles from home and be gone all day. Think about that! You would never let your kid take off for the entire day.

Well, no use looking backward...it's NOT coming back!

Until very recently, the American dream, and most people's perception of it, was realizable--e.g., owning a home, obtaining a job, and old-age security. Most of us have a #1 priority of owning our own home as the highest ranking family priority. That is why I began one of my businesses of saving homes from foreclosure.

In case you haven't noticed (are you living in a bubble?) there are a lot of folks in trouble out there - financial trouble. People are losing their American Dream of owning their own home. Imagine having to tell your kids that you are moving out of the only home they have known!
So what I do has a tremendous amount of value. So, if you know of anyone who is in that situation, let me know. I would love to be able to help them save The American Dream. Or they can go here for advice and help.

Be very leary of scam artists out there who say they want to help.


Here's a quote from The Center For American Progress:

The New York Times recently reported that the average CEO made nearly $10 million last year. That's the average salary for CEOs at 179 large companies. The average worker, on the other hand, earns just under $30,000 per year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

This means that CEOs now take home upwards of 250 times the average worker's wage.
What is it about the American labor market that produces such massive inequality?
The problem is not that a few fat cats are pulling ahead of the pack. The rest of us have seen little change or even falling income, in inflation-adjusted terms. In the past three decades, economic growth has generally benefited only those at the very top of the income ladder.
