You Can’t Afford To Use This In Your Home Based Franchise. If You Do You Will Fail…I Guarantee It

Do you know that the word can’t is the most frequently used word out of an unsuccessful home based franchise entrepreneur’s mouth?  I challenge you take a look that this unfortunate word and really think about how many times you might use it in one day.

The word can’t is a word that I detest, is the worst of the four letter words and I do not tolerate it’s usage in my house or in my home based franchise.  Most people use it far too often, very casually and most importantly…they use it inaccurately.

Truly, think about when you use can’t.  My daughter, who is now 10, knows better to not use the word in my presence.  I am a firm believer that there is nothing that she cannot do when she puts her mind to it.  She has proved this to me time and time again. 

Two years ago she almost didn’t try out for her travel soccer team because she didn’t think that she would make it.  Today she is the leading scorer on her team and more importantly she is a team leader.

I constantly hear people complain that they can’t lose weight, yet I see them eat fried food and order dessert at every chance they get.  It’s that they choose not to make the life changes that are often needed to lose the weight.  They choose not to exercise on a regular basis; they choose to order entrées with delicious French sauces vs. the broiled fish seasoned with herbs.  Losing weight and life is about choices…please don’t mistake the choices made with the word can’t.

Let’s bring the word can’t into the context of your home based franchise.  Again, I hear almost on a daily basis that people can’t seem to get leads, can’t seem to get prospects and thus can’t seem to get sales into their home based franchise. 

As I ask them questions about their marketing, I more often than not find out that there is little to no marketing activity that it taking place.  How in the world can anyone say that they can’t be successful when they haven’t done the needed activity, the needed education, the needed training, and the needed action to be successful?

People that use can’t in their vocabulary have every excuse under the sun as to why they cannot achieve the success that they want to achieve.  One of the best and most frequent excuses that I hear is that they can’t afford it, whatever it is. 

People tell me that they can’t go to training because they can’t afford it.  People tell me that they can’t buy a course that they really would like because they can’t afford it.  People tell me that they would love to join me in my home based franchise opportunity…but they just can’t afford it.  Does any of this sound familiar?

The great Jim Rohn quotes:  ‘Rich people have big libraries.  Poor people have big TV’s.’   I personally have purchased courses, books and educational products when I have been flat broke.  I did what I needed to do to become the success that I now am. Like Jim Rohn and all of the great successes out there; can’t doesn’t enter into the conversation when it comes to achieving the goals and the success that you want.

Do me a favor.  The next time you say that you can’t afford the purchase of a course, a book or any information that leads to so many successes…take stock as to what you can afford.  Can you afford your Starbucks lattes, your cigarettes, your Naives…pops I mean Evians or daily lunches out with friends?  

Could your disposable income be at least $20.00 a day?  $100.00 a week can buy you a lot of education, a lot of training and in fact a lot of marketing for your home based franchise.  What is it worth to you to realize your ultimate goals and dreams?

Stop making excuses and stop using the word can’t, and if you choose not to, that’s OK, just realize that the only person that you are fibbing to is to yourself.

If you are not satisfied with where you are today with your home based franchise…make the changes that are necessary to change the destiny of your life. 

If you have questions on any portion of this series, give me a call or send me over an email.   

Go, take action and make it a terrific and profitable day.

The Audacity to be Ignorant

When life is preoccupied with American Idol, African Idol, Asian Idol, Indian Idol, Australian Idol, Eskimo Idol . . . ; when precious moments are spent watching talk shows, from Tyra, to Oprah Winfrey Show to Late Night with Conan O’Brien  to Jerry Springer  . . .  ; when alarms are set to remind the beginning of ‘Apprentice’, ‘the Big Brother’ and ‘So You Think You Can Dance’; When Premier leagues, World cup, Olympics and village tournaments become our priorities – with loyal fans curious to know the lifestyle of  their soccer stars, yet thoroughly ignorant  of  Jesus favorite  hairstyle; when people decide to commit suicide because their team has lost; when movie series are seriously followed – some if not many have watched ‘Prison Break’, with multiple seasons that seems to end when the world ends; and the soap operas, aired on TV for our life’s span duration – ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’, ‘The Young and the restless’, ‘Days of our Lives’, ‘One Life to Live’, ‘As the World Turns’, ‘Passions’ and there are other widely watched telecasts such as  ‘Lost’, ‘OC’, ‘To Be or Not to Be’, ‘Desperate Housewives’ and ‘Men Behaving Badly’; when human beings voluntarily contest in extremely degrading stunts like eating cockroaches while others at home entertainingly watch the fear factor; as if that is not sufficient, people resort to laughter’s through comedies and they watch things like ‘White Chicks’, ‘The Man Who Knew Too Little’, ‘The Girl Next Door’, ‘Get Smart’, ‘King of Comedy’, ‘Steve Harvey’ ‘Just For Laughs’ not forgetting ‘Mr. Bean.’ After all, they claim, life is a sea of gut-busting, cheeks-hurting, pants-peeing fun. When real people become a nuisance they watch Walt Disney. And when theaters are full while Hollywood/Bollywood release more record-holding, top-grossing box-office blockbusters . . . . and after watching the movie, they become compelled to write a review about it, reveal the goofs for the movie or to atleast discuss it with friends and relatives!

When tranquility doesn’t descend until we know the world’s most expensive bra; when we are curious to know the person who spent the longest time keeping the eyeballs protruded; when we find the latest Guinness World Records to see if Pingping, the shortest living man (74.61 cm) who was measured in Hohhot, China still holds the record; when people search for the person who would spend the fastest time to pop 1, 000 balloons; and when people compete in making the tallest stack of doughnuts while industries compete in making the largest toilet roll.

When “The mutual rivalry for piling up (the good things of this world) diverts you (from the more serious things). Until ye visit the graves.” [Q 102:1-2], I mean when you are preoccupied with accumulating wealth with no signs of being fatigued by too much wealth. And because “. . .violent is he (man) in his love of wealth” [Q 100: 8] you will frequently hear middle-class millionaire dreaming to reach billionaire status while the billionaires aspiring to be ‘crazy wealthy.’ This reminds me of Roberts Frost’s saying: “By working faithfully 8 hours a day, you may get to be a boss and work 12 hours a day.” ; when people’s important life goal is to be rich and famous yet they are unaware of how they jeopardize their lives for they don’t seem to know that “. . . it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” [Matthew 19: 24]; when spare time is not spent on Words of God but on Think and Grow Rich, Rich Dad Poor Dad, How to Make Money, 365 Habits of Romantic Persons, Million Dollar Habit, How To Win Friends and Influence People, The Secret, Cooking Made Easy, Act Like a Lady Think Like a Man, Guess How Much I Love You, Sex for Dummies and What to Expect When You’re Expecting. . . . ; and when the short time we have for reading God’s scriptures we don’t do study-reading (i.e. reading for the purpose of understanding, learning and remembering). One wonders: is reading the Bible/Qur’an without reflecting synonymous to eating without digesting?; when “The post-industrial world produces virtually everything except answers to the most essential questions about life and existence: Where did we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going?”[1] Indeed, “They know what is apparent of the worldly life, but they, of the Hereafter, are unaware.” [Q 30:7]

When people ardently search for a Step-by-Step Tutorial on how to French-kiss. And others go to Google to type “I’m bored” while rejoicing that they are not alone for they have already been preceded with others who typed “I’m so bored!” This phenomenon is likely to invite brilliant sociologists to initiate a study headed titled, “bored people are actually stupid because they seem not to know the purpose of life.” Many will encounter a jaw hanging experience when they hear that there are some people who still think that we are created to get bored! When music is used to ease boredom with geniuses inventing holidays – Mother’s Day, Anniversaries, Get-Together Party, Birth-Day (BD) while condemning Death-Day (DD), and religious holidays celebrated irreligiously; when we voluntarily enter into cookie-baking contest and eating competitions; and when the neighborhood organize a water gargling contest; when we spend  too much time playing mindless phone and computer games; when one decides to become depressed, bored with life or just because they have nothing to love than to sleep, and decide to waste lots of precious time on excessive sleeping. How I wish they knew that multiple studies have found that people who sleep nine or more hours a night have significantly higher death rates than people sleeping seven to eight hours a night; when Research Institutes research on how to eat as much as we can without getting fat; when we are amassed in knowing whos-dated-who and when burgeoning populations join the International Association of Gossipers while others cross the boundary of reason claiming that the function of language is gossip; when the ‘lets-go-shopping’ culture becomes predominant; when our minds become fictitious because of reading too many fictions – Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, The Cat in the Hat, Romance . . . .

When people run out of ideas and decide to do the following: Blow up a paper bag and burst it behind a friend; make facial expressions in a mirror; check their waist measurement; peel an orange; convince someone that an African elephant has smaller ears than an Asian elephant; imagine coming to work by elephant; try to figure out if the “black box” flight recorder is never damaged during a plane crash, why isn’t the whole airplane made out of that stuff!; jump on their chair and shout “cockroach” to frighten their colleagues; photocopy your hand; run around the office as though someone were chasing you or march around the office like a Roman soldier; imagine how sorry everyone will be when you are dead; make a list of the ten people you would arrest immediately if you became a dictator; practice rubbing your tummy and rubbing your head at the same time (and am sure some are just practicing it now); rehearse your excuses for when you are caught in an embarrassing situation; pretend you’re a robot or pretend to be a car; wondering whether a fly without wings should be called a walk; check your answers for yesterday’s crossword puzzle; ask your grandpa what grandma was like when she was young; email your boss the message: I know what you did last vacation; boil ice cream; honk and wave to strangers; imagine how you would interview your boss for your job; imagine what you will do when you see an endangered animal eating an endangered plant! . . . .

When fashion industry and cosmetic companies receive unprecedented queue of customers. Have they really reflected on the proverb: “Many complain of their looks, but none of their brains?”; when a person wears a T-shirt imprinted: “I want fun. Now”, who is bypassed by another with a “Whatever you see I owe to Spaghetti” T-shirt imprint. Then as you wonder why would God create such people, behold you encounter a dare-not-look-at-me type of a lady walking towards your direction, her shirt inscribed: “WARNING: I have an attitude. . .” while struggling to peep at the remaining text, you realize it’s written “. . . and I know how to use it!” And before the sun sets, you encounter another fellow wearing a T-shirt bearing the words: “Whatever the question is, Liquor is the Answer.” Maybe such a heedless person would have been endowed with a much more meaningful descent life “. . . but he (man) clung to the earth and followed his own vain desire.” [Q 7:176]

When we get glued to our computer screens surfing pornographic material and sending emails to females while males receive torrents of emails from females; when people enter into yahoo groups to seek visitors with similar tastes and hobbies such as collecting stamps, blackjack, underwater modeling, chasing one’s shadow, washing fish, bull fighting, dog-sledding and chicken wrestling; when we embark on an extensive  search in facebook so as to find that primary school classmate who peed in class; when funny and weird videos are the most watched clips in YouTube; when life is spent aimlessly is when we become fully ignorant. Ignorant of our purpose of life. An extremely smart guy would ask, “Is this really what we were created for? “Do you thus repay the LORD, O foolish and senseless people? Is not he your father, who created you, who made you and established you?” [Deuteronomy 32:6]. And if the Bible is not a source of inspiration to you, then reflect on the words of Henry David Thoreau: “It is not enough to be busy, so are the ants. The question is, ‘What are we busy about?” I know that according to article 24 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights “Everyone has the right to rest and leisure . . .” but if per article one of the Declaration, human beings are “endowed with reason and conscience” then we would expect a smart creature to ask: what is the ratio between entertainment industry and worship industry? The Intelligent seeks to compute the ratio between wealth accumulating rituals and rituals for attaining the Kingdom of Heaven. “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” [Mathew 6:33]

Hot Wheels Treasure Hunt Series Propels Collecting

Collecting of die cast toy cars like Hot Wheels and Matchbox grew out of a passion for cars and childhood memories. Until the early 1990’s, collectors were constrained to just a few options: collecting variations and errors, collecting every car in a series or year, and collecting special limited editions not sold in stores. It wasn’t until 1995 that die cast toy car makers started producing cars for sale in stores that were packaged specifically for collecting. It was the introduction of the Treasure Hunt Series from Hot Wheels that started it all.

The series consists of twelve cars, typically hot sellers in the past, which had new paint and graphic styles applied and sport ‘Real Rider’ tires. Real Rider tires are actually rubber and can be removed from the rim like a real tire. Often times the tires had ‘Goodyear’ or ‘Treasure Hunt’ printed in white on the side of the tire. These cars were produced in limited quantities, 10,000 at first, but were released with the regular series each year. This created an interesting aspect to the Treasure Hunt Series since they were also sold for the $1 price of the regular series. The only exception to this is a box set of the entire series sold exclusively at JC Penny stores around the Christmas and holiday season. The series did experience a few variations over the years. One example is the standard practice from the regular series of re-releasing models with a different paint style. In 2005, in honor of the tenth anniversary, the series released the most popular model from each year of the previous ten years. It was also in this year that a thirteenth car was offered through a mail in offer, which required proof of purchasing twenty other cars.

                The value of the Treasure Hunt cars typically spiked for a particular model when it came out. Often times a car found on the ‘pegs’ in stores for a dollar could immediately be sold for fifty dollars. The value would then slightly decrease when the next month’s cars were issued and the spotlight moved to the next model in the series. As is common, the cars for the inaugural year are valued highest. The ’67 Camaro released in 1995, for example, is the most treasured model and is worth over $300.

                The Treasure Hunt regular series is now sold in two versions, the new version being one with a higher production quantity. This series was designed with the hopes that children could also have a chance a finding the rare cars. Both versions of the series have packages marked with a green stripe behind the title of the car. It is the only noticeable packaging variation from the standard line of cars. The Treasure Hunt series has now also expanding into other die cast lines of cars made by Hot Wheels including the Racing line. If you are interested in searching for these rare cars be prepared to get to the stores early, just before the new month’s models come out, and look for the green stripe. Good luck hunting!
