Ah, the thought of a vacation sounds relaxing… but not if you’re worried about how it’ll affect your wallet. Most people are struggling and the notion of an expensive get-away is something many people find hard to afford. The good news is that there is a method to finding cheaper airline fares which you can start using right away! And, it’s not a secret. The best buys for international cheap air tickets are always found by searching the Internet, period.

Start by visiting and bookmarking several online travel sites. They’re easy to find in any search engine. Familiarize yourself with the popular brands and learn the basics of how the interfaces work. Some request that you set up a user account, which can then be used to send you targeted promotions on destinations tailored specifically for you. You’ll discover that each web site operates slightly differently, but that generally they are structured similarly and offer the same types of tools to help you save on your next flight.

First, you might notice that you can save instantly on travel fares without doing much preparation. You’ll notice that many of the fares are already very low, compared to ticket-counter pricing or using a travel agent. These sites are able to provide some of their lowered fares by negotiating huge contracts for discounted flights at pre-determined prices. The company works similarly to how you might buy food in bulk quantities to save in the long run. If you don’t have any vacation plans already in mind, the best tip is to let the destination seek you! Popular vacation destinations naturally have elevated prices because of their demand. Ticketing airlines can be the best price available but it pays to take the time to do an Internet search for prices.

The fantastic thing about internet travel sites is they provide you with instant access to all of the destinations the world over. Such sites regularly promote deals to less familiar places. Take time to browse them to see what you’ve been missing! Once you know where you’re going, consider buying a package deal. Travels sites also affiliate themselves with hotels and car rental companies, too. Usually, you save a tremendous amount of money on your vacation by bundling the transportation and hotel reservations together with your airline purchase.

Depending on your needs, you can select all three or just a combination of any two services. You can continue to save money by comparing all similar flights side by side. A simple search for www continental will bring up the flight schedules, reservations, vacation specials and corporate information for Continental Airlines. You’ll be amazed that two planes flying in the same direction at the same time can differ so much in price! Some airlines fly directly to the destination while others stop half-way for a layover. If you’re on a shoe-string budget, you’ll notice that non-direct flights are usually much less expensive.

Comparing flights also assures that you’ll be provided the amenities you desire while airborne. Finally, fiddle around a bit with the departure times and dates. There is usually wild fluctuation in the ticket price depending on the day of week, day of the month, and hour that the flight departs. Take notice, too, of the return date and time. Although it seem counter-intuitive, it can sometimes be cheaper to extend your vacation by a day! So come aboard, fellow travelers! Find a low airfare and begin your well-deserved relaxing vacation!

Why It’s Hard to Fire Your MLM Company…

Aug 12, 2008 @ 07:01 pm by articles

First let me say that I’m honored that you would be reading this message and taking an interest in what I have to say.

I’ve been in this industry since October of 2005, when I registered for my first and only network marketing company, prior to starting with Wealth Masters.

Through my time with this very large and well known company, I had many blessings come my way.

I was part of a training system that was instrumental to my growth as an entrepreneur and individual.

I had an upline mentor who was very loyal and committed to my success, whom drove countless miles and spent countless hours to serve me and my team.

I grew an organization, which gave me the opportunity to lead, mentor and grow as a leader.

I found the perfect business partner and grew powerful friendships with the industry’s top networking experts.

I traveled all across the country to meet and learn from other entrepreneurs.

But there was one thing that was missing from my wonderful experience with my first networking company — the money…

In my first year, I managed to personally sponsor 17 people into my business, earned about $4,000 that year, spent about $14,000 running my business and took a loss of about $10,000 for the year of 2006.

Needless to say, filing my taxes with my CPA was a little bit embarrassing, especially considering I at one point tried to prospect my CPA.

One night after a long night of showing the plan, I went online browsing the net looking for anything that might possibly help me grow my business. I ran into a website called Magnetic Sponsoring, and thus began my transformation and introduction into the world of internet marketing.

The Holy Grail of Internet Marketing for Networkers

Two years have passed since I found that information on June 16, 2006.

Today, I run an internet marketing consulting company having helped people master the art of marketing through Google. We’ve done work on behalf of the networking industry, martial arts industry and currently helping Robert Kiyosaki’s RichDad.com team with SEO and internet marketing.

A few months ago, I was able to quit my $80,000 per year Aerospace Engineering job and I am now financially independent. I work mostly out of my home office and sometimes the dojang (martial arts studio), right before I hit the mat for training.

But through most of this journey, there was one thing I was reluctant to do, despite my success as an internet marketer… call it quits with my original network marketing company.

Tim Ferris in his groundbreaking book, The 4 Hour Workweek, wrote:

Just because something has been a lot of work or consumed a lot of time doesn’t make it productive or worthwhile. Just because you are embarrassed to admit that you’re still living the consequences of bad decisions made 5, 10 or 20 years ago shouldn’t stop you from making good decisions now. If you let pride stop you, you will hate life 5, 10 and 20 years from now for the same reasons. I hate to be wrong and sat in a dead-end trajectory with my own company until I was forced to change directions or face total breakdown — I know how hard it is.

And I’m not saying joining my first company was a bad decision, because obviously it was the gateway to this amazing world of entrepreneurship.

What I am saying is that my decision to remain with them was not a very good business decision, despite my good memories, affinity for the great people who mentored me in that company and the growth I experienced.

When all is set and done, we are all here to grow a business. And if continuing on a certain path is not a good business decision, then one must take action to correct it.

The fact of the matter is that it’s an uphill battle trying to apply the modern internet marketing techniques to grow a networking business with an older and well established company (and some new ones).

You are reading this newsletter because you may have gotten started with a networking company who promised you a cutting edge internet business, then handcuffed you with all kinds of silly rules about not being able to promote your business other than via word of mouth.

They may have even threatened to terminate your distributorship that happened to me.

Well I reached the point where I had enough. As good as my upline has been to me and as loyal as I am, I could no longer be tied down I walked away.

It was a very difficult choice, but it had to be made.

And now, via my good friend and mentor Mike Dillard, I joined the only company in the world which offers the income potential I first envisioned when I started in this industry and allows me to fully capitalize on my extensive internet marketing and search marketing background that company is Wealth Masters International.

Recently, I was privileged enough to lead a 3-day workshop on behalf of Mike Dillard, called Traffic Formula Live! Many of the people in the audience I was teaching were 6 & 7-figure income earners with WMI. I got to mingle with them, share ideas, take back a few drinks, etc.

It really made me feel great about having chosen WMI and getting to know the caliber of people who are representing this company.

Today, you are faced with the same choice I had to make or you may even be new to this industry entirely and were curious about the potential available through network marketing.

Well…

I know you’ve heard this many times before, but I really do mean when I say…

You are in the right place, at the right time and with the right people

What Should I Get for my Groomsmen?

Aug 12, 2008 @ 05:00 pm by articles

So I’m sitting here wondering what I should do. My wedding is only 5 weeks away and I feel so helpless. My wife to be is handling most of the details but there are a few things that I need to do. You see, she put me in charge of getting wedding gifts. Not just any gifts but gifts for the wedding party.

I am really not much of a gift giving person, but I suppose gifts are pretty important to people in your wedding party. I need to figure out how and where to buy groomsmen gifts quickly. I have buddies that love to drink so an engraved groomsmen shot glass be a good idea.

Another buddy of mine, Jimmy Z, I like to call him is a big fan of pub signs. I can definitely see a

personalized pub sign in his future. You see, with a bit of thought, it really isn’t that hard at all. Let see here, just a few more to do.

There are a few websites which shows me what the popular groomsmen gifts are. But I am not sure that these would apply to my groomsmen and Best Man in my wedding. I have some pretty unique friends you see. They need special things. I suppose when I become one of their groomsmen, they might say the same about me when I stand in front of the aisle in their wedding. I suppose I will find out on that very special day of my buddies.
