You do not need me to tell you that "times are tough". We are ALL going through something in our lives and doing everything humanly possible to survive and to thrive. My best and most optimistic word of encouragement to you and to all who share my enthusiasm is very simply this: Now is not the time to show and feel despair nor fear.
Always keeping in mind that fear is False Evidence Appearing Real, then you know that you MUST continue to believe in yourself and the Higher Power (God) Who can do all things. In addition to this core thought is this...
Now is the time to band together with other like-minded optimistic, forward-thinking folks like ourselves and to form a strong network where we may synergistically and powerfully impact each other's lives. We all have value and power individually and we can be even MORE powerful when we unite in mind, spirit, effort and resources. YES, WE CAN!!!

IMAGINE THIS... A REAL AMERICAN STIMULUS...
Pass this on !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This idea sounds just crazy enough to work, so naturally it
won't be given serious consideration. How great is our bureaucracy!!
Hi Pals,
IF YOU ARE AGAINST the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG, consider this...
Instead, give $85,000,000,000 to America in a We Deserve It Dividend.
To make the math simple, let's assume there are 200,000,000 bonafide
U.S. Citizens 18+.
Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman and child.
So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up...
So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billion that equals $425,000.00.
My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a We Deserve It Dividend.
Of course, it would NOT be tax free.
So let's assume a tax rate of 30%.
Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes.
That sends $25,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam.
But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket.
A husband and wife has $595,000.00.
What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family?
Pay off your mortgage - housing crisis solved.
Repay college loans - what a great boost to new grads
Put away money for college - it'll be there
Save in a bank - create money to loan to entrepreneurs.
Buy a new car - create jobs
Invest in the market - capital drives growth
Pay for your parent's medical insurance - health care improves
Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean - or else
Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+ including the folks who lost
their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other company that is cutting back.
And of course, for those serving in our Armed Forces.
If we're going to re-distribute wealth let's really do it...instead of trickling out a
puny $1000.00 ( 'vote buy' ) economic incentive that is being proposed by one
of our candidates for President.
If we're going to do an $85 billion bailout, let's bail out every adult U S Citizen 18+!
As for AIG - liquidate it. Sell off its parts.
Let American General go back to being American General.
Sell off the real estate.
Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up.
Here's my rationale. We deserve it and AIG doesn't.
Sure it's a crazy idea that can 'never work.'
But can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block Party!
How do you spell Economic Boom? (American Stimulus package?)
I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion
We Deserve It Dividend, more than I do the geniuses at AIG or
in Washington DC...
And remember, "The Birk plan" only really costs $59.5 Billion because
$25.5 Billion is returned instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.
Ahhh...I feel so much better getting that off my chest.
Kindest personal regards...

Do You Have Billionaire Potential?
ARE YOU BORN TO BE A BILLIONAIRE???
Maureen Farrell, Forbes.comWednesday, March 5, 2008
Empire builders like Bill Gates and Sam Walton aren't just great businessmen. They are bona fide revolutionaries.Self-made billionaires don't dominate industries--they transform them and spawn new ones. That takes more than intelligence, courage and luck. It takes divine-like vision.Billionaire entrepreneurs are "not working within the confines of the current market," says Gerald Kraines, chief executive of the Levinson Institute, a business consulting firm in Jaffey, N.H. "They're anticipating things much further afield. You have to see spaces that no one else sees."
More from Forbes.com: • In Pictures: Are You a Born Billionaire? • In Pictures: The World's Billionaires • In Pictures: Self-Made Billionaires
The world's self-made billionaires certainly have vision in spades, spanning everything from how computers work to how people shop. But the ability to see around corners isn't the only quality that separates the very accomplished from the stratospherically wealthy. To crack the $1 billion barrier, you need total, unwavering belief in your vision--and an immutable will to pull it off."[Billionaire entrepreneurs] need a deep passion and a point of view about the future," says Peter Skarzynski, chief executive of Strategos, a Chicago-based consulting firm that advises global companies, including Nokia and Whirlpool. "They fundamentally believe that they have a better way to solve a set of problems than how they're being solved now."
Billionaires also have a seemingly ravenous appetite for risk. It's hard enough for many of us to muster the courage to abandon our cubicles and start a small company, let alone build an empire. And while the risks pile up as businesses expand, billionaires have a confidence bordering on arrogance that checks their fear and doubt, says Skarzynski.Are you a born billionaire? Before you tackle a serious growth strategy and all its attendant hassles, ask yourself some hard questions at the outset, says executive psychologist Debra Condren, who has worked with big names like 3M, Chevron and Hewlett-Packard.The most important one: Why go big at all? Are you looking to cash out in a sale? Enamored of the thought of having your own stock ticker? Suffused with competitive desire? Whatever your reason, get a grip on it before you decide to kick your zealous pursuits into high gear.Next, ask yourself if you are willing to make tough decisions for the growth of your company.
If you have an intense loyalty to the small group who helped get things off the ground, understand that those folks may not be able to come along for the ride. If you're not comfortable supplanting (or firing) them, stay small.For entrepreneurs who prize their independence, ask yourselves how much of it you're willing to give up. As the demands mount, both your schedule and decisions become less your own; worse, you may have investors and board members to appease.
"It becomes very hard for company founders to accept that they are no longer the real boss," says Carl Robinson, a psychologist who works primarily with growing, middle-market companies.Like holding forth in public? You'd better, because companies of any significant size need a public face. Entrepreneurs who thrive on public performances--weekly meetings, shareholder gripe sessions, even television interviews--have an easier time than those who shun the spotlight."You need to have the ability to fill a room and inspire people," says Condren. If public speaking isn't your forté, but you're still hankering to grow, find a confident substitute who can sell your story.Not only do you have to be able to communicate, you need a knack for building consensus. In most cases, the bigger your business, the more input you need from those around you--and that means being willing and able to marshal them to your cause. Have a my-way-or-the-highway mentality?
Can your growth plans.In the end, chasing billionaire status--and not crashing along the way--is as much about knowing who you are as it is about knowing how to nab new customers or manage inventory. Who knows? (Maybe a modest $100 million might be a better fit.)

Nationwide Housing Recovery Initiative
With recent plunging consumer confidence in our economy, our currency, our housing... it becomes even more vitally important for us to unify our individual efforts to survive and thrive.
Our compelling vision to establish a NATIONWIDE HOUSING RECOVERY INITIATIVE is the end- product of our exhaustive research, persistence and experiences raising our families under adverse financial conditions.
THE CONCEPT: A financial empowerment initiative that mentors those of the underserved population of low - moderate income consumers who desire to improve their economic circumstances. The synergy of our collective energies, intelligence and resources is central to the success of this collaborative.
THE PLAN: Drawing on the dynamic spirit of free enterprise, we have devised a plan to provide the fundamental tools (Knowledge/Information Resources/Discipline/Cash Reserves) for "prospering during this famine."
We do not subscribe to the helpless victim mindset. Instead we are convinced that our grassroots network of like-minded optimists can be part of the "solution" instead of the "problem" to our national housing crisis.
Our "SEEDADOLLAR" $1.00 House Raffle is just one of several vehicles created to make affordable housing a reality. We are more excited and more optimistic than ever as we proceed in confidence with plans for Future offerings of SEEDADOLLAR opportunities.
If you are fed up with your personal financial circumstances and desperately want to end your perpetual cycle of debt, then grow with us, send us an email: dollar2dollar4homes@yahoo.com.
