Step Into The Global Marketplace

The Internet has been stealthily displacing printed, television and radio advertising for the past four decades and luring millions of people to pitch their entrepreneur noses into it's  huge marketplace . It is even more incumbent pertinent , necessary for any one, looking for rainmaking trails and tracks to jump start their cash flows through sale of their products and services, to get online.  

Dreams - the ones you had from the days you were a boy or girl can't be thrown off the cliff or shelved into oblivion. They could hold the sparks to turn your life around .And besides they could be the hardwired talents within your family history that could garner fortunes .

In the marketplace success is rewarded but mistakes get punished.That means that you can’t settle for weakness, laziness, and bad ideas, and couch marketing or your business will fall over the cliff . There’s a gulf between an idea, and a hunch that carries the hopes of rainmakers in real-world conditions. Almost everyone has ideas but most people can’t come to grips trading them off to live their own dream. It's good to heed the advice of a hearthrob of the yesteryears .

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails - Mark Twain .

How The Rubber Tree Changed A Nation..

 

Trees have played a very essential role in the development and launch off of the economies of several nations. Before the RUBBER TREE came along the India Rubber Tree was it's predecessor. It's trunk exuded a milky sap called latex. Although somewhat like 200 plants in the world can produce latex, but over 99 percent of the world's natural rubber is made from the latex that comes from a tree species called Hevea brasiliensis, . However it was not until 1839 that this latex saw its first practical application in the industrial world. That year, Charles Goodyear accidentally dropped rubber and sulfur on a hot stovetop, causing it to char like leather but it remain plastic and elastic however. Vulcanization, a refined version of this process, transformed this whitish liquid into an essential product for the industrial age. But how the rubber tree began to change the economies of nations around the world had its beginnings with Henry Wickham. In 1876, this English planter, collected 70,000 seeds [ Brazil] and shipped them to England. 2,800 of the seeds germinated. In 1895 . Henry Ridley, the head of Singapore's Botanical Garden, convinced two coffee growers to plant two acres (.8 ha) with Hevea trees from these seedlings . Nine of these seedlings were sent to Sir Hugh Low, then Resident in Perak, where they were planted in the Residency gardens at Kuala Kangsar , Malaya. Twelve years later more than 300,000 ha of rubber trees filled plantations in Ceylon and Malaya .At the turn of the 20th century the industry began to grow dramatically with the advent of the bicycle and automobile industries .Every tire, hose, seal, valve, and inch of wiring required rubber. The rubber boom launched off . Rubber planting became highly profitable and rubber plantations spread across the Malay Peninsula

By the 1930s, Malaya had become the world’s largest natural rubber producer.And it rode this 'rubber' economy to the necks of the 80s'.But this international trade with the rest of the world was the first time Malaya earned foreign earnings in US Dollars. Thus the nation rose from a laid back sleepy hollow of an economy to a roaring tiger economy through the 'rubber ' years.

What does your financial future look like?

For many people, worrying about their financial future is a persistent habit. But unless you act you will be acted upon. No crystal ball can predict what your financial future holds or even IF there's anyone "holding" that future at all.
By taking risks , daring to get your feet as well as getting professional guidance from your financial advisor, you will be better prepared against sudden financial concussion .
So what elements need to be factored in when executing best financial practices?
Income is the starting point .What about a period of unemployment ? What about an illness ?What about savings ? The jobs we do impact our bank balances.
You might have pondered these a bit but none of these questions can be answered without the careful weighing in of your working life. After all, money doesn’t grow on trees nor will it fall from the sky. Tomorrow isn't promised. Neither is death. So long as there is family , rainmaking or wage-making HAS TO GO ON.
Financial wellbeing means different to different people but preparing for a growing family , meeting future plans , require unremitting attention to plans - whether a Plan A or a B or even a C.
Here's a way to sock some money away for the future .....

INEQUALITY has always been around....

Want To Be Happy? Make A Bonfire Of Your Fake Dreams !

Alain de Botton, the writer and intellectual has some unexpected advice about dreams. Forget them. “There’s a relief to be gained in giving up certain ambitions, if those ambitions really are on the other side of the moon and are getting in the way of other things that are going quite well in your life."

Many workers daydream about leaving their desk jobs behind to chase their true passions but turning fantasies into reality can be a scary walk out onto a limb. Walking away from a cosy job can mean tossing out benefits and perks that have come to define success of the sort everyone is toiling away for and face the unknown.

"Ten years ago I was working as a freelance business editor. I'd just sold my condo for almost twice what I'd paid two years earlier and I decided to take a three-month backpacking trip through Europe. I started in Dublin and ended up in a tree house hostel on Turkey's Mediterranean coast.

Unless you love what you're doing now and would be content with it , there's GRIEF in ignoring or make yourself oblivious to what your real innards are. One place to begin is to dig back into your roots and see IF there's something that runs in the family. Perhaps some smithing ability or a secret recipe that keeps people young or a way to run a marathon under current times etc etc.

Here's a TRAIL to rainmaking ......

But if you have worked long for someone , for a boss , you could have gone into the SITTING DUCK MINDSET.

This invisible affliction urges you to accept life as it comes and that being manipulated , carromed around , shoved here and there and beaten into submission by something , someone , by whatever is 'natural' and you OUGHT TO 'accept it all'.Well , you're what your mind is , what goes on in there is what's shaping you up or out.

 So , what's the 'cure'. It's to go out there and start trekking on some trail , doing something different , going into the woods. Perhaps Mark Twain , says it real well.

“The secret of getting ahead is getting started.”

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

  One TRAIL families have 'discovered'
