Interview with Best-selling Entrepreneurial Authors Barbara Winters and Nick Williams
Ray Bradbury’s quote, “You’ve got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down” may sound extreme but, as anyone building a business knows, it has a lot of truth in it.As a newly self-employed journalist / writer and life coach, I found Barbara Winter’s book, “Making a Living Without a Job” invaluable so when I got a chance to interview her and Nick Williams in London, I was delighted. Barbara advocates having Multiple Profit Centres so her approach is ideal for writers, coaches and other entrepreneurs as we often build our incomes by developing several strings for our bows.Barbara co-founded the Dreambuilders Community with her friend Nick Williams. They are bringing entrepreneurs together so we can support and inspire each other. Between them, they have several decades of entrepreneurial experience.Nick Williams has inspired countl

eaded to the green to retrieve the ball and take some pictures. After one last ‘hug’ for everyone (now they loved me) I headed back to the 18th tee box. No sooner than I arrived did I hear a huge roar go up on the 17th tee box. I knew it had to be a hole in one because the noise was way too loud for just a ‘really good shot’. Because the 17th green was really close to my tee I ran over to look in the cup. Sure enough when I looked into the cup I saw a ball - as a matter of fact, it was the oldest looking golf ball I had ever seen in my life. It was the kind of ball you use when there is water between you and the green and you do not want to hit a good one in the water.

Here is the kicker. The hole was playing 225 yards and they were giving away a brand new Porsche to anyone making a hole in one. Some lucky golfer had just done the improbable and won an incredible new sports car. As I made my way back to the 18th tee box a golf cart came flying up to me. The cart skidded to a stop and two men jumped out almost knocking me over. They were laughing hysterically as they informed me the person who made the hole in one was the very same 30- handicapper I had made fun of a few hours earlier. I said please tell me you’re joking and they said, “Nope, he sliced a driver up onto the green and into the cup.” I could not bel

Kelo V City of New London - Is Your Property In Good Hands?
The House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved a bill last Thursday to restrict the eminent domain powers of state and local governments. The Bill, which passed by a 376-38 margin, would withhold federal money from state and local governments if they used their eminent domain powers to confiscate private property and sell it to private developers.The action by the House is in response to the Supreme Court's ruling in Kelo vs. City of New London. In that landmark case, which was decided on June 23rd of this year, the Supreme Court held that the City of New London, Connecticut, could take private property from working-class citizens and sell it to a wealthy developer to build a riverfront hotel and office complex.The ruling sent shock waves throughout the ranks of property owners everywhere and caused politicians at all levels to propose legislation that would

I started playing golf at the age of 12. My first hole in one came almost 10,950 days later. It seems impossible one could go almost 30 years while playing hundreds of rounds of golf without a hole in one. I am now 45 years old and have still not had an ace during a ‘real’ round of golf. As a professional golf entertainer I have had three aces on par four’s, 10-15 on par three’s and five double eagles ranging from 150 to 250 yards. They have all come while hitting on a selected hole for companies and charities who have hired me to entertain their players. At no time have I stepped to the tee with my friends and sank one for the elusive hole in one. As you can imagine I am sickened when I hear stories of mere children having hole in ones, or some guy having two in the same round.

The course where I play has a hole in one club you can sign up for. You agree to pay $10.00 to anyone in the club who makes a hole in one. They add it to your bill so it is painless right? To date I have paid out 10-15 winners every year for the past 10 years. Some people have won four or five times…with 120 people signed up that is a pretty good payday. Me, not even a sniff in 10 years with a scratch handicap and hundreds of rounds of golf under my belt. My first corporate hole in one happened several years ago at the famed Kemper Lakes in Chicago. I had been hired to perform for a fund-raiser on an extremely hot August day. With 36 foursomes on the course it was slow going during their seven hour round. I chose the 18th hole to hit on because it was a reachable par four with water going from the tee box all the way to the green. The normal play is to hit your drive in the fairway, which is just to the right of the lake. Because I could comfortably carry my drive all the way over the lake (approximately 320 yards) and onto the green in the air, virtually all of the 36 groups chose to use my drive that day. We also had two volunteers collecting a donation from all the players who wanted to use my drive. They could help fight muscular dystrophy and putt for an eagle at the same time.

The stage was set for an unlikely turn of events as I hit ball after ball onto the green to the delight of all the players. Before golf started I had the opportunity to do an exhibition for the entire group. During the exhibition I did a routine revolving around how you can spot a bad player. People can dress real sharp and have really good gear so it makes it tough to know when you can wager with someone and when you can’t. But there are certain indicators you can look for to spot a ‘bad player’. This is all said tongue in cheek and it generally is met with laughs. I then talk about the dead give away - a ball retriever. If you have a ball retriever you can’t break par - or how about any type of counting device like beads or clickers? Do you have flaps on your shoes or do they have velcro? You will never break par and if you spot someone with these you can bet them anything you want.

Another indicator is someone playing with colored golf balls. The final thing I make fun of is someone who has a cap with no curve in the bill. It is just flat all the way across. As I was discussing these items I noticed the group was snickering more than normal. They pointed at a young guy sitting in the front row who had a ball retriever in his bag, flaps and velcro on his shoes, a flat hat, colored golf balls and a 30 plus handicap.

I could not resist and I made fun of him at that point. Actually, he just acknowledged the truth of all I had just said and it was the ‘group’ who laughed at him. I may have teased a little bit as well, I cannot remember now… We all had a good laugh and they went of to start their round. Now, let’s get back to the 18th hole. Late in the round I had two groups roll up to the tee box. I learned they were all friends and their ages were 55-70. These eight men all played together on a regular basis and had come to the tournament to support the cause. The guys were all very friendly and extremely outgoing.

They all paid their money and I told them I would hit for both groups at one time because it was really hot and if they had to wait they might as well do so in the clubhouse. Just before I hit I turned to one of them and said, “Hey, if I knock it on you will be putting for an eagle and that’s good. But if I make it for a hole in one then we are gonna do some serious man kissing right here on the tee box!” I said it as a joke to get a reaction from all these 60-year-old guys. They were less than thrilled about the prospects of me chasing them down… I hit the ball right at the green; it landed softly rolling off a small mound and headed right into the heart of the cup. A hole in one! We all saw it clearly the entire way and when it disappeared into the cup everyone went crazy. They were jumping and screaming like we’d all just won the lottery. Before I knew it they had surrounded me and we were jumping around like little schoolgirls. These eight elder men who only moments earlier had run from me when I jokingly mentioned man kissing were now all over me. Eight sweaty old men had trapped me and I had nowhere to go!

There is something pretty magical about seeing a ball go in the hole from 340 yards away. Not knowing what the odds are I would imagine it is somewhat rare. We jumped in the golf cart and headed to the green to retrieve the ball and take some pictures. After one last ‘hug’ for everyone (now they loved me) I headed back to the 18th tee box. No sooner than I arrived did I hear a huge roar go up on the 17th tee box. I knew it had to be a hole in one because the noise was way too loud for just a ‘really good shot’. Because the 17th green was really close to my tee I ran over to look in the cup.

Meth Use and Symptoms - What are the Signs and Symptoms of Methamphetamine Use
Speed, meth, chalk. In its smoked form, it is often referred to as ice, crystal, crank, or glass. Those are all street names for methamphetamine (mAMP). Call it what you may, but meth use and its symptoms are one in the same. If it's taken in large doses, methamphetamine's frequent effects are irritability, aggressive behavior, anxiety, excitement, auditory hallucinations, and paranoia along with delusions and psychosis. Meth abusers tend to be violent. Mood changes are also common, and the abuser can rapidly change from friendly to hostile. The paranoia produced by methamphetamine abuse results in suspiciousness, hyperactive behavior, and dramatic mood swings.Meth appeals to drug abusers because it increases the body's metabolism and produces euphoria, increases alertness, and gives the abuser a sense of increased energy. High doses or chronic use of meth, however, i

Your Bills Are Due? Get Approved For Bad Credit Loans!
If you use the loan money properly and repay the most expensive debt first, you can even save money by requesting a bad credit loan. It may sound strange, but borrowing money to repay other debt can be advantageous if the terms of the new loan are better than the terms of the outstanding debt. For example, if you request a bad credit loan with an APR of 14% to repay a cash advance loan or a credit card balance with an APR of 20%, the residual 6% will remain in your pocket instead of the lender’s.Bad Credit Bad Credit is an annoyance; bad credit won’t allow you to obtain traditional loans at normal rates. There is not much you can do about this problem. The only thing you can focus on is improving your credit score and history. A bad credit loan can help you with that. If you take a bad credit loan in order to avoid missing payments, you are already aiding

Non Profits
Nonprofit organizations are institutions that are established in order to raise money for educational, religious or scientific purposes. These organizations are run by a group of people who come together with an ad hoc purpose, more like volunteers than employees. As an example, an organization that is established for disaster relief or literacy can be classified as a nonprofit organization.Nonprofits are also called foundations. Some foundations raise money for other nonprofit organizations. As an example, the UN funds UNESCO and UNICEF. A nonprofit is made up of a staff, board members and trustees.Nonprofit organizations invite volunteers from all over the world to work for them. People who may feel strongly about some social issue may also work for nonprofits.Nonprofit organizations may not generate profits, yet they do need revenues to sustain them. Thi

This guy makes an ace and wins a brand new car. Just a few minutes earlier I had holed a shot from almost 340 yards away and all I got was kisses from eight sweaty old men. What’s wrong with that picture? No one said life, or golf is fair. As I continue to look for my first real hole in one some guy in Chicago is cruising down Lake Shore drive with his top down.

Obesity is a growing concern among teens throughout the US. With the prevalent couch potato culture and depleting level of physical exercises owing to high level of automation, the problems seem to be just escalating.

The importance of balancing your go kart racing tires cannot be overstated. Most people wouldn't even consider putting a tire on their car or truck that has not been balanced. Yet some of those same people will mount up a new tire for their racing go kart and not balance it at all. The truth is that it's of much greater importance to balance your go kart racing tires than any other tires.
