Working From Home Information

by Denis Waitley

1. Accept the Unchangeable - Everything that has happened in your life to this minute is unchangeable. It’s history. The greatest waste of energy is in looking back at missed opportunities, lamenting past events, grudge collecting, getting even, harboring ill will, and any vengeful thinking. Success is the only acceptable form of revenge. By forgiving your trespassers, you become free to concentrate on going forward with your life and succeeding in spite of your detractors. You will live a rewarding and fulfilling life.

Your enemies, on the other hand, will forever wonder how you went on to become so successful without them and in the shadow of their doubts.

Action Idea:  Write down on a sheet of paper things that happened in the past that bother you.

Now crumple the paper into a ball and throw it at the computer screen. This symbolizes letting go of past misfortunes.

2. Change the Changeable - What you can change is your reaction to what others say and do. And you can control your own thoughts and actions by dwelling on desired results instead of the penalties of failure. The only real control you have in life is that of your immediate thought and action. Since most of what we do is a reflex, subconscious habit, it is wise not to act on emotional impulse. In personal relations, it is better to wait a moment until reason has the opportunity to compete with your emotions.  

Action Idea:

Write down in your diary one thing you will do tomorrow to help you relax more during and after a stressful day.

3. Avoid the Unacceptable - Go out of your way to get out of the way of potentially dangerous behaviors and environments. When people tailgate you on the freeway, change lanes. If they follow you at night, drive to a well-lighted public place.

When there are loud, obnoxious people next to you at a restaurant or club, change tables, or locations. Also, be cautious of personal relationships developed via the Internet. With the massive number of individuals surfing the net, the number of predator’s increases in like proportion. Always be on the alert for potentially dangerous situations involving your health, personal safety, financial speculation and emotional relationships.

Action Idea:  What is one unacceptable behavior you have or allow others to do to you that you will avoid starting tomorrow?

Example: The way you drive, being around negative people, walking down dark streets alone late at night, etc.

I wanted to interject here and tell you all that what Denny wrote is right on the money!  We are VERY happy and are anxiously awaiting the big day.  We are at that point where it gets harder and harder to say goodbye when all we really want to do is say goodnight!  Sappy right?  That's okay, we've both earned it and hope that you are just as excited for us as we are for us.

I, for one, am ecstatic about school beginning soon (August 25).  The kids are at that point in the year where they could all benefit from some structure and I could use the predictability myself.  My daughter is a Senior in high school this year.  I've already cried once when i came to realize that this was the last time that I would have to register her for school. All I could think about was the first day I dropped her off at daycare and how far we've all come.  Why does life has to whiz by so fast? 

Update:  I actually just got back from school registration and didn't shed a tear!!  I'm already making progress!

So, Denny and I are going to be extremely busy planning a wedding, graduation, selling my house and getting his ready to be piled high with all of my "stuff".  I just hope he's ready.  

Bring on the football...Go Oakland Raiders!  Go Pittsburgh Steelers!  I'm anxiously awaiting and have my football dip recipe ready to go!!!  

Personal growth is the process of responding positively to change.
It involves risk as you step from the known to the unknown.
All your growth will depend on your activity.
Your strength and growth will come only through continuous
effort and struggle.
There will be no development without effort.

I think by Dennis Schnathorst.

I think that our forefathers were genius!  To have the forethought to see the future of America and to create and author a document capable of lasting over 233 years.  We are currently unable to agree on issues to last from 1 legislative/congressional session to the next.

I think that athletes and coaches deserve the money that they make!  The athletes draw the fans and the fans idolize them.  That makes the owners investment in the athlete's salary a wise decision.

I think that ALL people, every one of them, should be responsible for their own actions!  If you can't do the time......don't do the crime!  Why is it that almost 100% of the criminals caught for serious crimes in this country plead not guilty?  I understand and respect the 5th amendment, but geesh, are the police that bad that they NEVER get the right guy?  I don't think so!!!

I think that not all politicians are bad!  Not much different than any other profession.

I think that not all politicians are good!  Not much different than any other profession.

I think that abortion is wrong!!!  Unless it's incest or rape, then I think that it should be the woman's choice.  See the "responsible for their own actions" entry!  And the responsible part goes for the woman AND the man!  It takes 2!

I think that the death penalty is too good for the criminal!  I could get very opinionated here, but I'll leave it at that!!

I think that legal immigration is good!

I think that 9-11 was a horrible day for the USA that was comparable to 12-7-41, the attacks on Pearl Harbor!

I think that Pete Rose should be in the National Baseball Hall of Fame (he has taken responsibility for his actions)!

I think that the coincidences between the deaths of Presidents Lincoln and Kennedy are incredible!

I think that I am lucky for having grown up in the 70's & having only 4 channels and "Pong" was my 1st video game!

I think that I should have worked harder at my baseball skills!

I think that the United States Military and their families are heroes!

I think that it's time to go to bed!

Blog by Gina Radechel

Several years ago when I was in the banking industry we were encouraged to set up Christmas Club savings accounts.  The whole premise of the account being that you became a regular contributor to the account either thru payroll deduct or just by diligently setting aside money when you could.  The account would be opened just after Christmas and then automatically close around the first part of November.  The bank would send you a check for the entire dollar amount in the account plus whatever interest had been earned.  And the interest was always higher than a regular account as an incentive for you to keep your money in there the entire year. 

There was a stiff penalty for early withdrawal.  Thus the reason it was called a Christmas Club savings account.  It was meant to be there until you needed it so you wouldn’t panic and find yourself once again saying “oh crap, Christmas is here and I have no money.”  Sound familiar?  Yeah, me too! 

There were a few years during my 10-year banking career that I did not set up a Christmas Club savings account.  I caved.  One year I chose to get new glasses instead.  At the end of the year all I could SEE were my co-workers beaming with joy when they all got their Christmas club checks.  I was bummed.  And right then and there I vowed that NEXT time I would set up my own Christmas Club savings account and I would NOT dip into it and be subject to a stiff penalty and I would NOT cash it out under no certain circumstances. 

That worked about half the time I was there.  And those were the greatest 5 years of my career!  Because I love money just as much as the next guy or gal and having someone hand you a wad of your own money at the end of the year designated just for Christmas shopping?  Are you kidding me right now?  How cool is that? 

My point to this blog (and I do have one) is that having your own home-based business such as we do (Denny and me) is a lot like someone handing you your very own Christmas club check.  Making money that is literally your own.  YOU made it happen.  You invested so little but gained so much.  And everyday with EBI/ILS is like Christmas – you can do whatever your heart desires with the limitless income you’ll be making.

People talk all the time about
optimized results. So how do you get
them, and how easy is it to access?
Let's get right into it today; it
may go pretty fast!
For starters, let's look at your
keyword phrases to see if they are
producing a lot of traffic. If that
isn't the case, don't waste time on
them. Proceed to the next one.
Make sure you have a few keyword
phrases available at all times,
then go to Google and do a search with
those keywords.
This will show you how many websites
there are to compete against.
Next, put quotation marks around
your keyword phrase like this:
"keyword phrase", and Google
search will return the number of
optimized results.
This is the real number we're
looking for.
Record this number.
Repeat this step for all your
keyword phrases.
The keyword phrase with the least
optimized competition on
Google and the highest amount of
traffic is your BEST key phrase.
A formula for this is to take the
number of optimized results, and
divide that by the number of monthly
searches.
This will give you the R/S value.
The lower this number is, the better
the key phrase.
This is how you turn your research
into simple science, and as a
result you take out ALL the
guesswork.
That's why I haven't stopped
sending you important fact filled
emails to help you gain knowledge in
online marketing:

So anyway, the keyword phrases with
the smallest numbers are
being searched the most, and have
the least amount of competition.
This is the SECRET formula to
finding powerful keywords that
are EASY to dominate:
***Results / Searches = RSValue***
Google Adwords Keyword Tool
https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal
You type in your keyword phrase, and
it will return the advertiser
competition, along with its search
volume.
You can even see the estimated
average cost per click that competing
advertisers are paying.
If you see advertisers paying big
bucks for the cost per click, that's
a sign that there is money to be made
with that keyword phrase.
Use this tool wisely.
Check it out; in a few days I am going
to give you the last step.
You take care of those Keywords,
Robert Lewis
P.S. Here's what you must know
about Google, they don't
care about anyone, or anything.
They make the rules; we live
by their rules, otherwise... SLAP!!!

Christmas on a budget

This is the year that many of you will have Christmas on a budget.  With all the talk of an economic crisis it looks as though even Santa isn’t safe this year from a layoff.  I’m not even sure the price of coal will be low enough to at least give the naughty kids a little something.  I’m normally a very optimistic person but it’s been very difficult to keep up the sunny disposition when everywhere you turn people are losing their jobs and the news just makes it worse.  (As a side note I decided to stop watching the news.  Ignorance is bliss!)

To help offset the doom and gloom, I decided to do something about my future and my fate.  I partnered with my fiancé, D (of D & G) and jumped in with both feet to a brand new hot off the press work-from-home business venture.  I am a marketing director by trade and have never before in my life seen an online business that gives you so many tools to succeed.  They really do have my and your best interest at hand and that is something you don’t see these days.  With so many people asking “what’s in it for me?” it’s easy to be skeptical.  With this system you don’t have to be.  And what a welcome relief that is!    Check it out at www.welovemoneydoyou.com.

So, let’s decide together that we won’t have Christmas on a budget this year.  Let’s decide that we deserve the good life and be the masters of our fate.  Let’s regain some of that “hero status” with our kids.  There is an offer on this page that is FREE and the best way you can get started.  Your income potential is self-limiting.  How much do you WANT to make?  How many gifts do you want to buy this Christmas? 

I for one am on board and I know that this year when everyone else around me is struggling and thinking of ways to have Christmas on a budget, I will be thankful for the business that helped me provide the best Christmas ever for my loved ones. 

What are you going to do?  How are you going to make it happen?  You have nothing to lose by jumping in with both feet.  And if I forget to mention it, Merry Christmas!

The first rule of success, and one that supersedes all others,
is to have energy.

It's important to know how to concentrate it.
Focus your energy on important matters
instead of frittering it away on meaningless things.

Nothing will add more power to your life
then concentrating all your energies
on a limited set of goals.

You must focus the full power of all you are
on what you have a burning desire to achieve
if you truly want to be successful.

Gather in your resources, rally all your faculties,
marshal all your energies, focus all your capacities
upon attaining your objectives.

You must be single minded, and drive for the things
you have decided upon.

The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus.

One of the main issues facing many home business owners is converting prospects or tire kickers into real customers.

As you may know, the Internet is full of scum artists,people selling poor quality products and services. Many customers have been screwed so they are skeptical as far as Internet home business is concerned.

Skepticism is health and encouraged because there are some dishonest people and scums going around the Internet. Customers now do their diligence scrutiny before they can sign up for any product on your website. As a consequence, many business owners surfer, because they can't get customers to their websites.

To stand out as a legitimate and trust worth company, you need to do some strategies that can bring customers to your website and make massive profits.

How can you stand out as a worthy home business owner?

1.You must have that Trust with your customers. Get a trust seal or logo for your site. This reassures your customers that your business is legitimate and you can deliver what you promise.

A trust seal is a variable tool to have on your site because you are sending message out there that as part of your commitment you are going to uphold the highest, privacy and ethical standards because you are a member of highly respected organizations whose seal(s) are on your website.

There are many independent watch dog organizations that provide these services for example, HonestEonline, Truste, MaCafee Secure and Icop.

2.Use customer testimonials or video recorded testimonials. This adds more credit to your site as an expert in your niche.

3.Include your warm and friendly looking photo of your self, family or your office. This also adds more personal touch to your website.

4.You can offer some incentives like money-back guarantee. Customers feel more comfortable,safe, relaxed and trust you that your services and products are reliable and have a refund policy.

5.The flow of your language gives a personal touch and impression to your customers. It contributes to what your customers will get. When you have the “common touch”, you will have an inherent authority that your business is significant and that you have passion to help others meet their needs.

6.Spice your biography with some sense of humor. Put in a compelling story that can relate to some event or experience in your life reflecting real life situation.

It seems pretty simple,doesn't it? I mean you really can do each of these tasks in just a few hours. And it will not cost you a dime. But the best thing is, it really works. In fact this simple strategy can build you a profitable business if you stick to it. Customers will always find it safe to do business with you and become a source of income.

Are you interested in taking a trip or a vacation soon?  If you are, will you need to book reservations on an airplane?  If you will, you will find that you have a number of different booking options.  One of the best options, which is highly rated and recommended, involves making your travel arrangements in the form of a vacation package.

Although vacation packages are highly rated and recommend, many travelers are still unsure about buying them.  This is common with first time travelers.  Many are unsure if vacation packages are really in their best interest.  When trying to determine if booking your next travel arrangements in the form of a vacation package is a good idea, you will want to examine the vocational package.

When booking your travel arrangements in the form of a vacation package, you will find that there are a lot of them.  These vacation packages are easy to find, if you do a quick research, especially online.  Most of the vacation packages are commonly offered for sale through online travel websites.  These online travel websites can be found with a standard Google search.  Online travel websites are websites that allow you to compare airfare, hotel accommodations, and car rental reservations.  Using online travel websites, to book a vacation or even just airline reservations, has many benefits on its own.

Another thing to consider booking your next travel plans in the form of a vacation package is the money that you may be able to save. One of the luxury travel marketing company, Global Resorts Network gives a 50% off the normal price to its members. While there are no guarantees, consumers are typically rewarded for making all of their travel arrangements at once.  This is a great benefit, as many travelers already feel rewarded because of the time and money they are able to save by booking all of their travel arrangements at once.  As for saved money, the discount that you will receive will all depend on the vacation package that you are purchasing, as well as who you are making that purchase from.  Whether you receive a $5 discount or a $50 discount, you may be pleased with the savings.

Another one of the many reasons why vacation packages come highly rated and recommend is because they come in a number of different formats.  No matter what your travel needs is, you should be able to find a vacation package that can accommodate your needs and requirements.  For example, do you need to book a flight, make reservations at a hotel, and reserve a car rental?  If so, you can do so.  On the other hand, if you only need to book a flight and rent a car, you can still find vacation packages that allow you to do so.  While most major online travel websites will only include motel, hotels, and vacation resorts in vacation packages, there are specialty travel websites out there that focus on other lodging options, including vacation homes.

Although there are a number of benefits when booking your travel arrangements as a vacation package, it is also important to note that there are some disadvantages as well. Two of those disadvantages are the restrictions that you may be faced with, as well as the fact that you are not guaranteed to receive any discounts or refunds if you cancel, although most will offer them.  As for the restrictions that you may be faced with, not all cities and towns in the many countries have accommodations that are needed for vacation packages, like a car rental company or a hotel.  With that said, most can be found nearby.

As you can see, there are both a number of benefits and disadvantages in making your travel arrangements stress-free with some of the vacation package.  What you are encouraged to do is take these above mentioned hassles and apply them to your own personal wants and needs.

On the scale of one to ten, Global Resorts Network has been leading with customer satisfaction. So make a good decision in order to make your vacation travel enjoyable

Without goals there is no achievement.

A set definitive objective must be established if you're to accomplish
anything in a big way.

The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this:
"decide what you want"
The world will turn aside and let you pass if you know where you're going.

Goals give you a starting place and a destination.
Determine what you want.
Decide on your major objectives, targets and destination.

You can plant your own dream with a goal.

It Friday and the day is off to an amazing start. The sun is shining and the temperature is perfect. Too bad the weatherman doesn't agree about the weekend.

Later, I will load Max, my 19 month old 'Goldendoodle' dog into the truck and pick my friend from work and travel up to the cottage. The most amazing place to relax and unwind.

Naturally there is never a shortage of thing to do and I am not one to sit around very long and I am always puttering around. To me it's just another form of relaxation.

This weekend I will do some repairs to a couple of bedrooms, nothing like home improvements. It's easy how you become 'a jack of all trades and a master of none'. so this weekend I get to hone my drywall and joint filling skills as well as a bit of painting. Owning a cottage is a lot of fun but it does require a lot of up keep.

Max off course treats his time there as one great big play time. He spends a lot of time in the water, likely because he is part golden retriever. I did not realize it when I got him as a puppy that he would have webbed feet. Being part retriever it makes sense and he sure can swim. He is tough to swim with because he want to swim to you and play or try to rescue you I'm not sure which.

Well I have to get organized to get some things done. I'll post next week.

Enjoy life

Jim

Welcome to my blog and thanks for viewing. I am just getting it started and will add more content in the next 24 hours.

 A great way to do a quick review of our lives using the following acrostic on priorities by Mica Campbell, author of “An Untroubled Heart: Finding a Faith that is Stronger than all my Fears”.

After reading the following acrostic... perhaps God can help pull some weeds from your heart, by removing all your fears.

P – Pray. Ask God for wisdom. Ask Him to show you his priorities for this season of your life.

R – Review God’s priorities for your life. Study God’s Word to determine His priorities for you as His child and as a woman.

I – Take Inventory. Examine the activities that consume your time. Keep a time log for a week. Then ask hard questions. What are my true priorities? Are they the right ones?

O – Order your schedule. Ask, “What is important?” Make the hard choices based on God’s priorities for your life.

R – Resist the “tyranny of the urgent.” Don’t let the urgent keep you from focusing on the truly important.

I – Input from others. Seek input, counsel, and accountability from authorities, your husband, godly friends, and mentors.

T – Take advantage of the time God gives you. Don’t waste time. Do all to the glory of God.

I – Identify time robbers. What saps your energy and robs your time? Activities, attitudes, distractions, interruptions?

E – Experience this season fully. Be all there in this season of life. Weep, rejoice, work hard, and celebrate with all your heart. Don’t waste time living in the past or future.

S – Sabbaths. Take regular time-outs to refresh, regain perspective, reflect and evaluate, and reprioritize. Make adjustments accordingly. (An Untroubled Heart, p. 69)

Therefore encourage one another and build each other up. 1 Thess 5:11

As I examined this acrostic on priorities, I started putting my daily actions in priority.  This has helped me become more focused on what’s important and has made my daily actions toward reaching my goals attainable.

 Let God pull weeds from your Heart – and remove all your Fears.

Business is GREAT and it just got even better!!!  An amazing new income stream has just been built into an already incredible, multiple income stream home based business!!!  It's no secret that the key to home based businesses is advertising.  That is an expense that prevents many people from getting involved in a home based business and/or prevents them from being successful in a home based business.  What if you actually profited off of your advertising?  Really!!!  I'm not talking about selling advertising or even being an affilliate.  I'm talking about being paid commissions for your advertising through your own home based business!!  It is truly very simple and you will receive twice as much in commission for your money spent on advertising!!!  The secret is in the leverage!!  The Infinite Leverage System is honestly providing as much leverage as is possible to not only help you to succeed, but also to help you profit at an accellerated pace. 

The "hive" is brand new to internet marketing!!  In the Infinite Leverage System, the hive is the SECOND income stream that will bring you $1,000 profits!!!  Yes, this is another income stream, within ILS, that will bring you $1,000 per sale!!  That is in addition to the other income streams that will bring you $250, $50, and $10 per sale!!!  In addition, the $50 is residual!!!  That's right, you will receive that $50 every month!!!  With Infinite Leverage, you will have many avenues of income at varying price levels (to reach people at any and all incomes) with 2 $1,000 commission products!!! 

Home based businesses are very popular right now and I am fully aware that some people are reserved and skeptical of the industry.  Having said that, I am also aware of the income that can be provided by home based businesses and the tax breaks that are utilized.  Do you want results that are different than the results that you are currently experiencing?  Do you want to change your lifestyle?  If the answer to one or both of those questions is yes, then you will have to do something different to receive different results.  Action is the key.  If you currently have a business or an income producing avenue, it will not make you anything unless you take action.  That's an elementary fact!!  If you do not currently have a business or income producing avenue but you have a desire to change your lifestyle and you want to take action, sign up now for our free offer and see what a difference the Infinite Levergage system and the "hive" can make for you!!! 

What are you going to do?  How are you going to make it happen?  There are possibilities out there and this one is right in front of you, sign up now and make it happen!!!

Personal relationships are the fertile soil from which
your advancement, success, and achievement in life will grow.

The only barrier between you and what you want is the support
of other people.

Always think in terms of what the other person wants.
You can get anything you want in life if you help other people
get what they want.

You cannot hold a torch to light another's path without brightening
your own.

You want your business to grow – HIRE MORE WOMEN!!!

There have been many “ceilings” in the past pertaining to women. A lot has changed in the last couple of years. Consider these facts based on reports by the U.S. Department of Labor and the Center for Women’s Business Research in 2003:

·    Women-owned businesses are growing at twice the rate of all U.S. firms

·    One in every 11 adult women owns a business

·    Women entrepreneurs generate nearly $2.3 trillion in revenues to the U.S. economy

·    More than 18 million workers are employed by a woman business owner

With a successful team and business comes freedom. With freedom comes quality of life. And, with quality of life comes the opportunity to make a difference and leave a legacy.

We are only here once and we all want to be remembered. 

Mary Kay Ash, founder of Mary Kay Cosmetics, did not hesitate when she said, “Make your people feel important.” She truly understood the recognition is a need we all crave; and that there are no exceptions.

I completely understand this powerful principle… “hire more women, and love them like family.”

I left a secure job as a corporate real estate broker 4 years ago to become an entrepreneur. I laid my heart on the line when overcoming my fears and doubts to building a successful organization in online marketing. I learned the importance of life balance, the power of choice, respecting others and removing the chains that bind you.

I understand the power of kindness and compassion… I understand that companies don’t succeed, people do.

Believe and Achieve

Do you believe you can have the life you want to have, or do you think that it belongs to that “other” group of people?

“Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” ~Napoleon Hill

I grew up in a middle class family, my father was a dairyman and my mother was an accountant for a wholesale grocery warehouse, I was average in high school. I attended college briefly, I worked a little country store close to my home, then attended trade school and got a real estate license.

In the beginning I was living paycheck to paycheck and living way above my means. I really did not know whether I was cut out to be a real estate agent or not… I did not know everything there was to know about real estate. I figured out shortly that I really didn’t have to be an expert on real estate, all I needed to do is get people infront of other real estate experts until I became an expert. And, I know that I could do that.

Twelve years later, I was saying goodbye to the real estate industry and saying hello to becoming a full-time entrepreneur. The reason I was able to “fire my boss” so soon, was I found myself in an environment that started changing my belief level. I started associating myself with people that were successful entrepreneurs and reading lots of inspiration and self-development books.  

“The only thing that stands between a person and what they want in life is the will to try it and the faith to believe it is possible.” ~Rich DeVos, co-founded Amway Corporation 

Do you believe in the possibility of your dreams coming true?

Separating the good from the great… the great consistently do more than is expected. Those leaders who understand this, whether you are a business leader, a coach, a teacher or a parent, will eventually rise to the top.

Learn more about my Team, women or men, I am not prejudice…. I will coach you to the Top!

You're bigger than anything that can happen to you.

The obstacles you face are only mental barriers which can be overcome
by adopting a more positive approach.

Have the courage to confront what you can imagine.

You don't have to be a puppet manipulated by outside powerful forces,
you can become the powerful force yourself.

Courage is resistance to fear and mastery of fear, not absence of fear.
This is where you'll win the battle, in the playhouse of your mind.

Visualize what you want.
See it, feel it, believe in it.
Make your mental blueprint, and then begin to build.

See things as you would have them be instead of as they are.

“Don't wait. The time will never be just right. “ ~Napoleon Hill

After reading my daily dose of inspiration quotes today… today it was by Napoleon Hill.  I began to think about when my children were younger and they were always interrupting me to go see what they did or go to the park…. and most usually if I was busy, my answer was “In Just a Minute!”

In just a minute  lives can be changed. The person who runs the red light to save time can cause a serious accident and change lives forever.

The angry words shouted in an argument can end a friendship. Failing to say “thank you”  for a gift can create animosity.

Governments have been toppled and careers ended, not because of policies, but because of lies and untruths that were spoken in a minute.

We can have a great deal of influence over others by our own words and actions that just take a minute.

A simple word of appreciation takes seconds, but can be the motivator that causes someone to succeed.

The minute it takes to call a friend to ask how things are going can give needed encouragement when they thought no one cared.

Helping a child left behind may not seem important on the surface, but they will remember the kindness for a lifetime.

We can all remember in our own lives those who took the time to help us. We may not remember their names but we remember the impact they had on us.

In the course of our lives we may not become famous or receive public accolades, but we will be remembered by our actions that took just a minute.

An Action item for you today: “Just take a minute and thank someone in your life, whether it’s your child for cleaning their room, or your in-laws for sending you a birthday card or your neighbor for bring you some fresh vegetables or your friend for giving you a good recommendation”.

Just taking A Minute will go a long way and it will put a smile on someone’s face and yours too!

Take Action and Take it NOW!

“God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say “thank you?” ~ William Arthur Ward

“The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention.” ~Oscar Wilde 

When opportunity knocks, will you recognize it?  Opportunity comes in many forms.  Many times we see opportunity in our failures and our stumbles in life.  It is what we learn from our failures and stumbles that count.  Sometimes we create opportunites after a failure because we do not want that to happen to us again.  We stumble or fail at something and then we realize that we need to take steps to prevent that from happening again so we begin to search for a cure, or a way to change. 

There are many opportunities that we encounter on a daily basis.  I am considering returning to school to pursue a masters degree.  I know that that opportunity is there but will that guarantee me success?  That depends.  I do not need my masters degree to be successful in my current job as they are unrelated skills but if I take advantage of the opportunity now it may well pay off in the future should I decide to change careers or pursue a second career after retirement from my current position. 

I believe that there is opportunity in almost everything.  We've all heard tales about the little worker bee that advanced to become the boss or the owner of a company or business.  If you are currently employed, in most cases, I believe that advancement is possible, there is probably that opportunity if you are willing to make the sacrifices necessary to make it happen.  Those sacrifices may include changing your shift schedule, furthering your education or just mastering your current job so that you are the expert in all facets of that job.  Opportunity is almost always present. 

If you are looking for a business opportunity to test your skills and knowledge but yet reap the rewards from those challenges, I am interested in giving you an opportunity that can change everything.  I need individuals that are willing to learn, work and take massive amounts of action!!!  If you believe in opportunity, this is your opportunity to change your lifestyle!!!  

This is a real, legitimate business opportunity that truly rewards hard work and dedication.  What are you going to do?  Are you going to let opportunity escape and continue to say that there are no opportunities?  How are you going to make it happen?  Every opportunity that passes you by may have been the one that you needed.  Opportunity is being in the right place at the right time!!!  You are there!!!

Enter your name and email below for your free opportunity!!  It will cost you nothing but may change everything!!!

The world is primarily constituted on the basis of harmony.
Everything works in cooperation with something else.

Once you understand how quickly people will grant your requests
when those requests appeal to their self interest, you can have
practically anything you go after.

Put yourself in another person's place.
Only then will you know why they think and do certain things.

It's through cooperation, not conflict, that you'll achieve your greatest success.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”

Theodore Roosevelt

(American 26th US President (1901-09), 1858-1919)

Have you ever noticed how the word "smile" assumes the position of a smile on your face right after it has been pronounced? The same is true with a grin or a grouch. Much of the words in the English language or perhaps in other languages of the world assume the facial expressions of the person pronouncing them. Perhaps this is how words came into existence. 

What kind of difference can a smile make? In spite of its simplicity and spontaneity, a smile can make all the difference in the world. It creates an atmosphere of friendliness and peace.

Admittedly, a frown can likewise create an atmosphere. The question now is this: "Which is more preferable?" An atmosphere of dissent brought about by frowning can bring conflict and unfriendliness, while a smile can create unity and camaraderie.

A smile is contagious and profitable. When you project a smile, the other person can't help but smile back at you. Throw a smile to a baby, and there's a big chance the baby will smile back at you.

Because of your smile, a baby starts to be playful with you even if you are a stranger to him. When a baby starts to be playful, you just can't resist playing with him. Then he begins to laugh and giggle. You make the baby happy; you make yourself happy too. And to think all this started with a simple smile. A smile can erase or diminish pain, especially emotional and psychological pain. 

If you want to make a good impression, smiling is your best option. You can sport all the expensive material on your body you want. You may even be rich and famous and more profitable. But if you sport a sour face, you'll get the same treatment in return, as sour as vinegar. Those in public offices should take this very seriously if they want to relate well with their clients.

A smile is worth more than words. A smile is a universal language expressed in the form of a gesture that greets and welcomes other people. When someone smiles at you, especially at a time you least expect it, you feel happier and you return the favor. This is best expressed during vacation periods.

Of course, vacations are a time and season of smiles. But it's also a time you can get too busy attending parties and shopping, so much so that you get so tired you feel you can't smile anymore. However, when you come across somebody who smiles at you despite your weariness, you still can't help but smile back.

Try walking into a shop where a frown from the owner awaits you. Before you know it, you are heading back to the door where you came from. It's as if your legs have a mind of their own. This is the reason why it's important that sales people (if you are in the sales business) wear smiles on their faces all the time. This is the best way to attract more customers.

A smile has no monetary value yet it's priceless. No amount of money can buy you one. It's given away for free. You neither have to beg, steal, or borrow it. A smile comes naturally from the heart, resulting in harmony at home and prosperious for business. A smile binds and maintains friendship. Without smiles, any friendship is unimaginable.

"But how can you smile when you are overwhelmed with problems of the heart, health, finances, and peace of mind?" Yes, it's difficult; but does sulking help? Will a frown take away the pain and rid the problems that keep pushing you down with more problems, illness, poverty, and a confused mind? The answer is obvious. Without a shadow of a doubt, a smile will clear the clouds and bring a little sunshine to your life.

A smile is like a jewel worn on the face. It is the gateway to your personality. Wear a smile every minute and hour of the day, and you won't need anything else.

So keep on smiling and make someone happy!

Stress and Relaxation

Life is filled with a lot of stress, but how often do you take time out for yourself  and family for relaxation?
Did you know that stress can have negative impact on your body- physically and mentally?

One of the most devastating effect of stress is lowered immunity. If you cannot avoid stress in your  daily life, it is important to learn and take some steps to ensure that it does not have adverse effect on your health.

Here is some good news, one of the natural products that help to improve your resistance to disease and also help you fight some of  the related symptoms of stress is colostrum. It is the pre-milk fluid produced from the mammary glands of cows during the first hours after birth. It consist the best functional food for the new born calves and its function is to provide the basis for life-immunoglobulins, growth hormone, antibodies,vitamins, minerals, enzimes, aminoacids and other useful substances designed to help the immune system fight  a lifetime invasion of microbes, viruses, toxins and some foreign allergens that the body is susceptable to.

Colostrum has proven to give the body the natural immunity to live a productive life to the fullest and have time to  enjoy,relax in a prestigious resort with your family without getting sick.

Nickel and Dimed – a blog by “g”.  The other half of D & G. 

Chances are you’ve heard this phrase before:  Nickel and Dimed.  Or maybe you at one time or another have been “nickel and dimed to death”.  Of course you haven’t literally been nickel and dimed to death but at the end of the day or pay period sometimes it sure feels like it doesn’t it? 

Where does our money go?  I’ve read many times that the best way to lose weight and keep it off is to keep an online food journal so you are accountable for every last little morsel that you stuff in your mouth.  Likewise with your money…keep a journal and enter every nickel and dime that you spend.  You would probably be surprised at how much needless spending you actually do.  Mindless eating and mindless spending go hand in hand.  We have become a society of convenience and speed.  We don’t spend as much time cooking meals that are actually better for us than eating out and actually more affordable as well.  (That would be a great start to losing weight and having more money at the end of the day so this is bonus advice!)

Now I know you have to eat to live so I really cannot do much about that except to suggest that you eat a little less and move a little more, but what if you didn’t have to worry about being nickeled and dimed?  What if I handed you the keys you a home-based business opportunity that would ensure that you wouldn’t have to worry about nickels and dimes anymore?  Instead you could be banking cold hard cash?  Perhaps at the end of the day or the end of your pay period you would still have money to spare and even some to put in savings or to spend on whatever it is that your heart desires.  Sound intriguing? 

On this page is that very home-based business opportunity.  No gimmicks.  No hype.  Just an honest way to make more money at the end of the day…all from the comfort of your own home and with all the training you could ever want or ask for.   All you need to do is fill in your information for the free offer and off you go.  No more accountability, no more nickels, no more dimes.  Real money.  Real life. 

What are you going to do?   How are you going to make it happen?    Life is short.  Make the most of it today. 

by Ron White

There were few things that marked my boyhood as strongly as westerns. Every Sunday, I arranged my afternoon around "The Lone Ranger," "The Rifle Man" and "Bonanza." Then, if I was lucky, I would catch a glimpse of what I considered to be the definition of the word "man" – John Wayne – in a late-night western.

My grandmother had a painting of him in her living room, and in my blue-collar family he was a hero. Maybe it was because the characters he portrayed exhibited the qualities that my family lived—blue-collar, hard-working and honest. I am proud to say that I have a doctorate in John Wayne.

In 1972, Wayne played a character in which he mentored young school boys on a cattle drive in the film "Cowboys." Because of his leadership and example, these boys became men before the end of the cattle drive. They would avenge "The Duke's" death after he was gunned down in cold blood. This was my favorite John Wayne movie, perhaps because I also was a young boy and I subconsciously knew that I was being mentored through a television screen by the rugged cowboy. Today, I believe I am a better businessman because of it.

If "The Duke" were a businessman in 2009, I assure you that he would:

Famous quotes by John Wayne...

- First and foremost, be honest. This cowboy would never lie to make a sale and neither should you. His resume wouldn't exaggerate and you could rely on his word.

- Be a hard worker. John Wayne would be the first cowboy on his horse preparing for the cattle drive, and he would be the first in your office, spending his time working to the point of exhaustion.

- Defend the weak. Whether in "Stagecoach," "True Grit," "Cowboys" or another film, Wayne never took advantage of the weak. Instead, he protected those who couldn't protect themselves.

If he was in your office when a salesperson or professional was struggling, there is no doubt in my mind that he would ride alongside them and offer assistance to make the team better.

- Feo, Fuerte y Formal.  These were the words that Wayne wanted on his tombstone. They translate to: "He was ugly, strong and had dignity." He was a physically strong man at 6'4''. Yet, it was his strength of character that was referred to here. In your business, you would be a magnificent success if others say you have strength of character. This means not giving in when things look bleak. "The Duke" wouldn't.

- Have dignity. This, again, comes from his self description. Dignity means relying on yourself for your success and abandoning the victim mentality. Wayne would not be a victim if he worked in your office. He would not blame his lack of success on the economy, co-workers or his boss. Instead, with dignity he would take his future into his own hands and rely on no one but himself for his success.

John Wayne was the definition of the word "man" and would be the definition of the word "businessman" if he worked in your office in 2009. As a young boy, I watched John Wayne ride off into the sunset on June 11th, 1979. Though I was confident one day that I would be a cowboy, I ended up a businessman. Today, I am a better businessman because of John Wayne´s lessons.

Thanks to John Wayne for the life lessons on hard work, honesty, dignity, strength and compassion. With a tip of my hat, I give him a hardy, "Thanks partner."

Our minds are all we've got. They are the source of who we, both personally and professionally, are. They determine our success or failure. They are our strength and our weakness.

With the quality of our entire lives resting on our minds, it's unbelievable that we choose to fill them with so much garbage. The amount of negativity from television, newspapers, tabloids and other media that bombards us on a daily basis is amazing. We would never think to fill our bodies with only junk food, right? Heck no. We know that if we ate nothing but French fries and ice cream we would experience negative consequences like skin blemishes, weight gain and rotting teeth.

But with mental junk food we don't see the physical consequences right away. When our minds are constantly filled with negativity and bad news, our minds begin to decay. That's why we need to develop a strong, Herculean-esque mind.

Developing your mental muscles will give you the power to accomplish anything you want in life. Sure, it takes some discipline on your part, but look at the world's greatest bodybuilders. They don't show up at the gym every once in a while. They create a workout schedule and they are at the gym every day, no matter what.

Hire yourself as your “mental manager.’ Figure out how much you're going to pay yourself and make up a job list. Here are six jobs to assign to yourself to create a stronger mind.

1. Read Right
   How much good news do you see in the newspapers? Editors usually say, “If it bleeds, it leads.’ Not much chance of positivity there.  So, read something else. Read books – good books. Books that motivate you. Books that inspire you. Look up some of the great inspirational authors on amazon.com or in your local bookstore. Read them every morning and/or every night, before you go to sleep.
   
   
2. Share Your Mind
   Find someone, or a group of someone's, who have the same desire to share positivity. This is called masterminding. Great successes are created when great minds come together and think about the same things.
   
   
3. Find A Mentor
   My mentor was Buckminster Fuller and I learned more from that man about life than I ever hoped to. Who are the people you admire most, whether you know them or not? Figure out whom you'd like to emulate and study them. If they offer seminars, attend them. If they've written books, read them. Just a few I'd recommend are: Tony Robbins, Dr. Wayne Dyer and Zig Ziglar.
   
   
4. Listen to Motivational/Inspirational CDs and Tapes
   This is one of the most important habits you can create for yourself. Find inspirational audio messages and listen to them over and over. Earl Nightingale, one of the most brilliant thinkers of our time, had this to say on the subject: “Tape listening is the most important advance in technology since the invention of the printing press.’ With audio tapes and CDs, speakers can reach 10 times as many people as the printed word ever could.
   
   
5. Sign Up and Attend Seminars
   The motivational messages you hear at seminars, and the inspirational people you meet, reinforce your self-esteem and positive thinking. You can search out seminars via the internet, newspapers or local colleges and universities.
   
   
6. Turn Off the Television
   On average, the television set in an American home is on over 7 hours a day. Just like any bad habit, it needs to be broken. I'm not saying that all television is bad. Heck no. I'm simply recommending that you cut back on your television viewing. Decide how long you're going to watch television and then turn it off when you're time is up. Try cutting back your television viewing one hour every day at first. You can use that time to read a book, listen to a motivational tape, walk your dog or spend time with your family.

After reading these six steps maybe you're saying, “But Mark, I can't do it. I just don't know if I can be this dedicated to bettering myself?’ Who else are you going to be dedicated to if not yourself? Because when it comes right down to it, folks, you are all that you've got. Jobs and relationships come and go. Children grow up, leave the nest and get lives of their own. Then there you are, alone with yourself. Why not create a “you’ you can be proud of.

"Amaze yourself; manifest your full potential."

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." ~The Declaration of Independence

"I am not judged by the number of times I fail, but by the number of times I succeed; and the number of times I succeed is in direct proportion to the number of times I can fail and keep on trying." ~Tom Hopkins

Hi, this is G…the other half of D & G! 

How different do you think your life would be if you led it with purpose rather than letting it just happen to you?  I used to think that no matter how much time I had "on the job" I still couldn't possibly be an authority on anything I was doing.  I felt like I was going through my days just faking it.  One day I had this conversation with my boss and he told me that I was "consciously incompetent".  To this day I'm not entirely sure what he meant but I do know that I didn't like it.  And I don't think it was meant to be a negative, just an awareness issue more than anything.  The more I think about it perhaps what he meant was that I am aware of my shortcomings and I don’t bury my head in the sand…I’m willing to admit my faults and do something about them.  I've decided no matter what he actually meant, I don't want to live my life by accident.  I want and desire purpose.  In everything I do.  And now that I am a single mom, that also includes purpose driven wealth.  How much more satisfying will it be to rake in the money because that is the way I intended it to happen?  Purpose driven life...purpose driven wealth.  I do not want to leave my financial status to chance anymore.  I don’t want to play the “what if I won a million dollars” game.  I want and desire purpose.  Purpose driven life.  Purpose driven wealth.   I would much rather say, “When I earn a million dollars, this is what I will do.”  Because I planned it that way. 

Are you ready to take control of your life?  Are you interested in having purpose driven wealth?  What are you going to do?  How are you going to make it happen?

It's true!!  Dreams come true.  In my last blog I wrote about making it happen, how it can happen and a little bit about what it takes to make it happen.  Imagine what your life would be like if you didn't have to ask how much something cost to decide if you were going to buy it or not.  Really think about that for a minute.  Most of us don't think twice about the cost when we go to the grocery store for essential items or to fast food restaurants for meals.  We just get what we need and not a lot of extra.  But, what do you do when you go to buy a new TV, a vehicle or a house.  You usually buy what you think that you can afford.  What would it be like to just buy what it is that you want, within reason that is?  Obviously I'm not talking about a multi-million dollar mansion and mint condition limited collectible vehicles.  I'm talking about real life and the things that you are faced with on a day to day basis.  Think about having, because you earned it, the home that you've driven by on your way to work that you would just love to have and, while your at it, driving to that home in the vehicle that you want.  Picture what it is that you want, the brand, color, options and any other features that you can think of.  Do you believe that you can have it?  Why or why not?  I will dare to say that if you don't think that you can have it that you have accepted your fate, that you believe that it is your fate to live the lifestyle that you are living because that's how it's supposed to be.  For the sake of argument I am going to play devils advocate.  That must be what you want, to live the lifestyle that you're living, no matter what you have or don't have.  Unless you're Bill Gates, Warren Buffet or Donald Trump, you can probably do better for yourself and your family.  Do you really think that a better lifestyle is not for you?  If you do, it's partially due to the fact that you are not clear in your mind of what it is that you want.  Whatever it is that you really want, write it down and put that piece of paper where you can see it every day, many times a day.  Read it, believe that it can happen and ignore the thoughts that tell you that you can't have it.  Instead of focusing on the thought that you can't have it, focus on positive thoughts about how you can attain it!  Be positive!  Believe in yourself!

I am not pretending to be a motivational speaker or an expert on anything, but I have changed my outlook and I am determined to live the lifestyle that I want.  The funny thing is that I don't need to be a multi-millionaire to live the lifestyle that I want.  I am not that different from the next person.  I just want my bills paid off and to send my kids to college without having to worry about where the next tuition payment is going to come from.  I want to invest so that when I retire I can enjoy my retirement and not have to work until I'm 70 or older.  My vision is to travel and have fun during retirement, to enjoy grandkids and to be healthy enough to be active in their lives.  I believe that that can and will happen.  To be honest, I never think about it not being that way.  I also honestly believe that you can make that, as well as any other wish that you have, come true!  It really does start in the mind. 

If you need to make a change for your dreams to come true, what are you going to do to make it happen?  How will you make it happen?  I cannot and will not force you to do anything about it, that's not possible.  What is possible is that if you believe that you can change your life, you are in the right place at the right time!  What is it that brought you to read this right now?  It is opportunity knocking!!!  That's what it is!!! 

Read through the other entries in this weblog.  What do you think is going to happen?  Do you really think that you are going to a business or a company that just gives money away because they want you to have what you want?  Are you going to buy a brand name franchise and expect to not have to work?  If you don't change something, tomorrow will be just like today for infinity!!!  Maybe you are happy where you are and you are OK with that, that's fine.  If you're not OK with that then I have an incredible opportunity to change your life and make your dreams come true.  You can look for free and get a free gift to help you make money with any business that you may already be involved in or may become involved in, either way, it's your's for free and who knows, you may just make your dreams come true!!

Since our last post, we've gotten engaged!!  It's been 3 weeks since we've blogged.  We were busy making wedding plans as we were going to try and get it done before Christmas.  But alas, plans have changed slightly.  We now have a little more time to sit and talk to you.  We are looking at a Spring of 2010 wedding and we can't wait!!!!  Seems like there is a disconnect between the head and the heart so knowing what is the right thing to do and doing the right thing isn't always easy.  This is Gina's daughter's senior year of high school and she couldn't fathom moving away for her last year (we were going to open enroll her to her same school so it just meant a little time on the road for her each day which mom was actually excited about since they don't get a lot of face to face time these days).  So, we have decided to wait until she is nearer the end of her school year to tie the proverbial knot.  It seems like a long time until then but everyone we talk to that has had a graduating teenager promises us that this is the year that will fly. 

The trip to Minneapolis/St. Paul was fun, adventurous and not too stressful on anyone!  As you know, I was a little worried about Gina and her daughter trying to tolerate 2 ten year olds (boy/girl twins) and another teenage girl.  That was a lot of estrogen in itself!!!  Add to that, the 10 yr old boy that is constantly ganged up on by his sisters but who loves to be the center of attention!!!  He talked non-stop for 3 hours!!!  I think Gina and her daughter were ready to go home!!!  Things got better and a good time was had by all!!!  Ty (10 yr old boy) did manage to get an autograph from Joba Chamberlain of the New York Yankees!!!  I don't know how many people he cut in front of, how many toes that he stepped on or how many elbows he threw on his way, but he did say thank you to Mr. Chamberlain, who appreciated the courtesy and extended the same courtesy in return.  Our beloved New York Yankees did win the game against the Minnesota Twins. 

Stay tuned for further developments!!

It coulda been a world record.

It woulda been among the biggest groupers ever landed.

And it certainly shoulda been weighed.

Four men fishing out of Bay City Lodge the morning of June 25 landed a leviathan-size Warsaw grouper that arguably eclipsed the world record of 436 pounds, 12 ounces, set by Capt. Steve Haeusler, fishing out of Destin on Dec. 22, 1985.

Based on its length of 82" long and girth of 66 inches, and using one of several conventional formulas designed to estimate weight, the behemoth grouper might well have tipped the scales at about 446 pounds had they tried to ascertain its poundage.

"No, we didn't weigh it," said the group's leader, Billy Daniels, from Moody, Ala. "We wanted to go back out fishing."

The magnificent specimen of Epinephelus nigritus was landed about 15 miles southeast of St. George Island, off the artificial reef made from remnants of the old Apalachicola Bridge.

The four men were all aboard Daniels' 23-foot Polar Bay boat they had driven down from Birmingham on one of their twice-yearly trip to the legendary fish camp. "This is about our third year," said Daniels. "The last week of June we come down to Bay City for seven or eight days."

The men, Daniels' son-in-law Clint Haley and friend Ken Debrick, both from Paola, Kan., son Shawn Daniels, from Stanley, Kan.; and Billy Daniels had come prepared to outsmart the giant-sized groupers that bedeviled them in the past.

The men had fretted how they kept getting their lines snagged in the reef. "We kept getting hung up, do two cranks on the reel and it would stop," he said. "We got back to Bay City and they told us ‘You're not getting hung up. You're feeding the groupers."

So Daniels studied up on how these huge reef fish would watch to see the littler guys snagged on a hook, and then snack on them as they struggled against the tug.

"This year I bought a real big pole just for that," said Daniels.

The crew outfitted the 100-pound rod, custom made in Texas, with an Okuma Titus Silver 50 Wide 2-Speed Trolling Reel, and 200-lb. Momoi Diamond monofilament leader.

"It's one of the best lines you can buy," said Daniels, noting the line has a tensile strength of up to twice that of stated line tests.

On the end was a 16/0 circle hook, among the largest out there, baited with croaker caught by Haley, the crew's "gruntmaster."

The crew got to the reef about 8 a.m., and got the anchor set about 8:20 a.m. They were ready.

"The day before we hooked another fish, my son fought the fish, and it had a 20-inch grouper unharmed in its mouth," said Daniels. "You put a really good tug on it and he tries to spit it out."

First to come up that Thursday morning was "a nice cobia" and then came the big one.

Shawn Daniels then caught "a nice black snapper," weighing about 10 pounds, with a different rod.

It was time for the big one.

Daniels said it took his son only about 15 minutes to bring the Warsaw to the surface from about 80 feet of water. "When we saw that thing coming up, I thought ‘My goodness, that can't be real,'" he said.

Daniels said the crew at first prepared to release their catch, thinking it was a goliath grouper, the so-called jewfish, which is a prohibited species.

"You can't keep those," he said, recalling how he and his wife caught and released a 50-pound goliath grouper at Sikes Cut over Memorial Day weekend..

"But it's a complete different looking fish," Daniels said. "(Warsaw) has a square tail and doesn't have a banded stripe."

Once they got over their amazement, the men took another 15 minutes to figure out how to get the enormous fish into the boat.

"We all got to a corner of the back of boat, and once we got his head on to the boat, the boat kind of leaned over and we backed up and pulled him back in," said Daniels. "There was no way we can lift him, we just had to slide him."

Whatever it was that attracted the attention of the Warsaw's appetite will never be known. "The hook was in his lip but whatever was on there was gone," said Daniels. "We don't know."

With the fish crowding them on the 23-foot boat, the crew headed back to Bay City, and pulled in a little before 10:30 a.m.

"I went into the office and I said ‘We got a problem. We have a fish we can't get out of the boat,'" Daniels said.

When Bay City manager Buddy Renfro went out to see it, he was flabbergasted. "He thought I was joking with him," said Daniels.

"It had eight big old hooks in its mouth," said Renfro.

He said the men told him, before realizing it was a Warsaw, "the first thing they were fixing to let him go. They done unhooked him and they gaffed him back."

Renfro's son got a backhoe to lift the fish out of the boat, and then suspended it overhead as the men posed with their catch.

Unable to find a suitable scale, and unwilling to transport it to a second location to have it weighed, the men proceeded to clean it right on the Bay City dock.

"It took about three-and-a-half hours," said Daniels. "There was about 20 people who came over and looked at it."

The fish yielded six five-gallon buckets of filleted meat, which was then vacuum-packed. "They took about 80 pounds of meat back to Kansas City," aid Daniels. "We took the rest back to Birmingham."

A vice president of engineering for Precision Husky, a Leeds, Ala. firm that specializes in building heavy equipment, Daniels was off the next week to Vancouver, British Columbia.

He had high hopes, but a radiator leak on a track machine that grinds material for biomass, forced cancellation of Daniels' plans to fish for trout in one of glorious Canadian lakes nearby.

Meanwhile, a digital picture of his crew now graces the walls of Bay City, near the black-and-white snapshots of decades ago, when Milton Houseman, Louis Roux and other local fishermen can be seen with massive catches of their own.

"I figure that fish was about 25 years old," said Roux, adding what may be a world-record understatement:

"They're kind of rare," he said. "You don't catch them every day."

Bay City owner Jimmy Mosconis, who was out fishing the morning the fish came in, said in 35 years as the fish camp's owner "I have never seen a fish that was remotely close to that size."

Haeusler, the world record holder, said he heard rumors of a Louisiana fish that may have rivaled that state's 359-pound record, and of the Bay City catch. He said he didn't recall the dimensions of his 436-pound record breaker, but that "when it laid in the back of a pickup, it filled it up.

"I wish they had weighed it," he said. "That's a pretty good fish right there."
