Health Care 2010

Best wishes for a wonderful 2010. I spent the holidays in a variety of hospitals since my beautiful healthy mother surprised us all by having a series of heart attacks.

This came as a total shock to our family, and has turned my life upside down. This was the first year that I experienced Christmas in the hospital. I stayed there with her day and night for about 7 days. It was a very educational experience and I am writing about it on my blog, FaithnHopenLove

For some reason writing about this is a lot more difficult than I thought it would be. I had this whole series in my mind, but making the time to actually put it down seems to get put off. Maybe it is because she is back in the hospital.

For self employed people, and those who are mainly responsible for their own health care plans it is pretty scary out there. There are options available that most people are not even aware of. However if you are not classified “poor” in the US, you have very limited choices in the help available to your as far as paying your medical bills, and the choices that they recommend to you as far as after hospital care.

I intend to cover most of this on my other blog. Right now we are starting the process of working with a city retirement health plan, the medicare/medical systems and the Veterans Administration.

If anyone has any pointers on any of this, please share them here.

I feel that health care is a huge factor in business information. I just pretty much had my eyes closed to it. Now I have been made aware, and hope I can share experiences with fellow bloggers. The future comes way too fast to not be prepared for your retirement health care.

Happy Birthday to My Blog

WordPress
Image via Wikipedia

Wow it is now over two years for this blog, but Rocques Business Information has been around longer. Just two years ago I decided to turn the website into a blog because blogs are so much easier to maintain. Since then I have learned a lot from my internet coaches, and still continue to learn from Frank Terranova and Alex Sysoef. I have a few more that I do use, but I coach for Frank and I follow Alex’s blog and post as often as I can there.

I have thought of changing the domain name to a .com, but then rocquesbiz.info/blog has been around a long time, and I think it says it all.

So what does the future hold. I will strive to bring more and more information on the places for great online businesses, and business information. I will continue my coaching series, too.
I plan to help people set up blogs of their own, and want to rewrite The Blogging Puzzle. The difficulty in having a book about Word Press Blogs is that they update so often. The difficulty with The Blogging Puzzle was the timing involved. I released the book as soon as WP moved out from the old templates and platform and into the new 2.5 series. It was a while ago.

It is difficult to compete in the How To Blog market but there is always a need for one place to find the easy to start information. I love using free WordPress blogs at www.wordpress.com, especially for the beginners. However I still have blogs there.

I am using Hub Pages a little more now. There is a nice community over there. Here is the link to my hub about Zhu Zhu hamsters if you are looking for a good present for a younger person.

I plan to keep writing and would like to make more books. We will see how the time goes.

Purely Random

I last posted about a project that my online friend Luke Parker has been involved in called Blastoff. Well I think Blastoff is orbiting somewhere but I seemed to have lost contact with Luke Parker. His blog and support system seemed top rated. Plus the whole program seems like a great idea.
Being sick can ruin your career, and your google ranking. I have been fighting illness now for months and it finally won. It is not even that bad, but I have never had both ears infected at one time. That is just crazy.

It seems that working more than one job where you cut your sleeping hours down is not all that great for health. Plus then you do not do anything to keep your immune system boosted and that adds to your immune system sliding to the bottom of the charts.

It is great to have some time off, but it makes you wonder how you can sleep so much and not remember many of your dreams. It is also amazing that the ones you do remember were about work, and it is amazing how real they seemed.

What does this post have to do with Business Information? Well I look at the email piling up. I wonder about all the email I get that are purely sales letters. I wonder about all the people who say they make fortunes online. Even the people who at first would send a monthly newsletter seem to be flooding my in box with more and more things for me to buy to help me make money.

How can all this stuff possibly help me make money?

Sometimes not having to go into your day job because of a doctor’s work release is not all that bad, but you know that work is piling up when you are gone. I must have had an omen that I was going to get sick and miss work, because I totally cleaned out my In Box at work. That was a great feat for me.

Well I will get back to my articles on coaches soon. There is a lot more to add. The Mastermind Pros is still going strong. Classes always seem to get smaller this time of year for some reason. I guess it is the Holiday time of year, or the getting dark so early that throws everyone off their routines. You get home from work and it feels like it is so much later because it is already twilight.

Can you believe 2010 is lurking just around the corner? I think it is going to be a better year.

Enough of my randomness.
Thanks for everyone who stays with my blog as a reader. I value your comments.

Actress, radio and television host, spiritual motivator, producer and — most importantly — mom, are a few of the titles you could place on Marla Maples.

Raised in the beautiful countryside of Georgia, Marla attended the University of Georgia while pursuing an acting and modeling career. She was a runner-up and Most Photogenic in the Miss Georgia Teen, Miss Georgia U.S.A., and Miss Georgia World Pageants, and a finalist in the Miss Hawaiian Tropic International Contest. She moved to New York to continue her acting studies and made her Broadway debut in 1992, receiving national attention for her critically acclaimed performance in the Tony award-winning production, The Will Rogers Follies. She played to sold-out audiences at the Palace Theater for nearly one year before taking a leave of absence to marry then-husband Donald Trump and give birth to their daughter, Tiffany.

After her success in The Will Rogers Follies, Marla went on to co-host “The Miss U.S.A. Pageant” and “The Miss Universe Pageant” for two consecutive years. She also co-hosted the Fox network morning show, Fox After Breakfast, with Tom Bergeron. As an actor, Marla has appeared in over 14 films and has guest starred in numerous television series over the last 20 years.

Currently Marla hosts Awakening with Marla on Contact Talk Radio, and can also be seen on the successful online television show, The Braveheart View. She also produced, with author Tara Sutphen, a documentary on Native Americans called Whispers in the Wind.

Marla has been honored by the Make-a-Wish Foundation, Feed the Children, Shelter for the Homeless, and The City of Hope. Her heart is set on one day seeing unity in the world, and she works diligently to spread this message of hope to all. Her greatest joy is helping lift others to reach their highest spiritual potential. She says, “Life is a creation at every moment of our dreams and beliefs, ever-changing and ever-expanding.” She continues to write and develop a number of projects for television, film, and literary release. Her main focus is spirituality, humanity, environmental awareness and personal empowerment.

In this interview, you’ll discover the keys to moving from the dark of the soul to a life of joy and delight from superstar Marla Maples. A few of the things Marla will teach you include:

* Where to look for the things that will bring greatest joy in your life
* How to survive, even thrive, during the darkest times of life

How To Speed Up Your Reading

In this information overloaded world how many of us spend most of our day reading? I know as a full time teacher and part time internet marketer, I spend hours reading. There is so much great information out there on blogs and ebooks, and I want to know all I can about the latest trends online. However I am a slow reader so I run out of time to read all I want. I usually fall asleep reading and wake up hours later with the light still on in my room.

I subscribe to Daily Blog Tips and saw this video on there. There were some great comments here, and I know I can use help to speed up my reading.

Has anyone used the information in this video? Let me know if you do and your results with it. I would love to be able to read faster and then to remember what I read. This seems like a great way to do it.

Thanks Darren over at DBT. Click here to read the post and comments. Please add your comments to this blog, too, so we can share the information on your success.

Tiny URL Part 1

Today’s internet coaching report is on those tiny urls that you find in your emails, or that as a affiliate marketer you are likely to be using. If you have been around the internet for any length of time you already have seen the tiny or short urls that so many people use.
I might be wrong but it seemed that is started with one major player and that was tinyurl.com It would simply change a long affiliate url into a shortened one so that people could not really tell the article or advertisement was sending them to a sales page or an affiliate link.

People would use shortened urls as a way to mask or hide the main link. Short urls were a less expensive way to grab a domain name than making a major purchase. They could be used instead of a domain name that had a lengthy affiliate identification number at the end of the url, too.

Craig Haywood came up with his own url tracker, and there might be others out there, but his is pretty easy to use and he offers a large variety of choice for them. Craig got the persona of the “blue guy” because of his avatar. Have you heard or seen Craig’s avatar?

Here is what Craig Haywood did. He put together a url shortening system that can also be an affiliate program for you to promote. Plus there are stats on your url so you can make different ones going to the same landing page to do your testing of your ads, or ad placements. This is a great service that people who are really serious about affiliate marketing or just marketing on the internet in general will want to take a look at.

This is all not new. Craig has been on the internet for years now. He stands behind his product and he does have good customer service. You can click on this link for more information. You can start with Track That Ad free. It offers better ad tracking than tinyurl.com.

Tomorrow I will finish this article and will talk about more free url shortening sites and give you links two more that also have free stat trackers with them.

Internet Coaches Series ~7

Image of Alex Sysoef from Facebook
Image of Alex Sysoef

I have taken a break from my Internet Coaches series postings to regroup and gear up for the next part of the series. The direction I want this to go into now is to point out particular coaches and their programs and why people find them successful, and why people continue to stay in them or with this person month after month.

There are a few people who I follow lately. I have known most of them for over 2 years, and some of them even longer than that. When I mention a program, I have been a part of that program for at least 2 years, or I will mention the length of time if it is less than that.

The first person to play a huge impact on my blogging career is Alex Sysoef. Many of you who follow this blog are familiar with him, and you know that I hardly have to say much that you really already do not know about Alex.

I believe I met Alex from a forum hosted by Luke Parker, who I also consider a great influence on my internet career and presence. I have not heard from Luke in quite some time, and I do miss having him around. Luke Parker was one of the genuinely nice people on the internet. He would probably not classify himself as an Internet Coach, because he was not promoting himself as such. Instead he encouraged communities of people helping people.

Luke had really great membership communities when hardly anyone did. The ideas flowed freely. Luke was always looking for ways to help his members improve upon their website traffic. He is most well known for his Home Biz Factory. Next he developed the Surefire Success System, and a follow up system to it. The last I heard from him he was developing a new system that was going to take Surefire Success even farther with improvements to help each and every member succeed.

Luke lives in a part of the US where there are tornadoes so I am hoping he was not the victim of one of those. It is just strange when someone who was intent on making a great system vanishes.

Out of that relationship I met Alex Sysoef, and he was developing a system to help people with their WordPress blogging experience. Alex and Luke are two of the most helpful people that I ever met on the internet. I was so busy at the time that Alex was calling for beta testers for his new blogging system that I missed out, but I followed every email very closely. They were always highly informative.

At the time Alex developed his blogging system that included templates, a series of videos, and the plugins that you needed to get a good functioning WordPress blog up and running, there were several changes going on in the world of blogging. It seemed WordPress was adding updates faster than you could go through a roll of paper towels. This kept Alex so very busy, and I know every time there was an update, I had problems.

It is amazing that Alex still has any hair on his head after all the trouble I gave him with request after request calling for support. As I look back on those times and how busy Alex was (he still had a day job at the time, I believe), it is amazing how fast he got me the help I needed. I learned a whole lot about broken blogs during those times and the importance of backing up your blogs and your data base before doing any updates or changes.

I intend to go into more depth about Alex Syseof and his Expert Word Press System, and why I think every blogger should start their first self hosted blog with this system. I want everyone who reads this series and my blog to know that Alex has helped me and is one of the coaches who has made a difference in my blogging.

Personality Traits and Success

I recently did some editing to an article I submitted to ezine articles a few years ago. Not much has changed since then but I thought I would add it to this blog.

First of all let me start out by saying that yes it can be done. Even the sole proprietor can succeed in a web based business. You can earn money by doing business online. However, now that I have said that let me expand on the title by explaining the “Five Personality Traits Necessary For Survival In Online Business”.

1. Perseverance:

Perseverance is listed first because before you begin your journey to online success you should examine your past performance in anything you have ever attempted.
Did you finish it? If you are one who is determined to never give up, no matter what, then you have one of the personality characteristics that it takes. Earning an income on the internet is not simply building a website, or a blog, and then sitting back waiting for the buyers to break down your door. It involves much more than that. Of course there are secrets, but you can learn them. It just takes time.
There are many internet business opportunities such as opening an online store, or joining an affiliate program, or selling books that you write. Some programs are set up to help you and you can buy a website business that requires very little to start it other than the initial investment. However many of these internet business opportunities will get you set up and then leave you to figure out how you are going to drive the traffic to your online business website. This is definitely the most difficult part. There is a lot to learn to be successful at driving enough traffic to your website then getting your visitors to turn into customers. Many people who are not persistent will give up before they give learn enough to be successful.

2. Teachable:

Maybe you do not think you need to be teachable to earn an income online, but you do. The internet is a funny place even beyond the joke sites. The internet does have a life of its own as the gurus (who do earn great incomes) will tell you once you pay for their courses. What do I mean by that statement that the internet has a life of its own?
The internet changes just like other areas of life. The internet started in
1969 by the US Department of Defense as a communication device. Then by the end of 1970 computer networks had become international. Now we see personal use of the internet and business use of the internet as a huge enterprise. Home pages have taken over as the ways to code and put up websites have become so easy that anyone can do it. Also an easier way to communicate and share information has appeared. Blogs have made it even easier for people to add information to pass along to family and friends with even less knowledge of coding and

building technical websites.
Who would have thought that the internet would be a place where teenagers would want to spend endless hours hanging out? Now guess what? It seems the adults are finding out that they want to spend more time on the same sites the teens hang out on. However adults find other uses for social sites like networking with other people in the same careers or with similar interests. This is known as social networking.
If you are going to be making the internet your place of business, you need to be aware of the trends. After all you are going to want to reach people to come to your place of business. Sometimes you have to go out and find them so that more can find you.

3. Creative:

Are you creative? I am not talking about how well you enjoy arts and crafts, but it certainly helps to have a creative spirit, soul, or just enjoy crafting. To make a living online you will be coming up with lots of ideas for products you want to sell, how you want to promote them, and how to meet your target audience. Maybe you even want to sell craft supplies! Awesome! Of course if you are not all that creative you can always hire someone to put your ideas into Web Page format, or you can start out with a blog.
However, you are the architect of your business ideas. You must come up with the ideas to get your business going. You must be able to decide how to get these ideas down on some visible form.
Creativity is the thread weaving around the other personality characteristics tying them all in together. If you are not feeling creative then maybe you are just too stressed out to free up your mind. Maybe you need some down time to get your mind flowing in some creative direction. Keep a notebook with you to jot down ideas, no matter how crazy they seem. Hey if you laugh at your own ideas, then that is great. Laughter is good medicine, and it burns calories and relieves stress. Laughter releases good stuff in your body, so don’t forget to laugh.
If an idea does not seem right for today, do not toss it completely out. It might be right in the future. That is why it is a good idea to carry some sort of notebook with you. Personal organizers are great, especially if they can connect to your computer. There are usually times during the week when you are waiting for something and a thought will pop into your mind. Jot it down. Some successful people carry pocket recorders for this purpose, too. Find something that works for you.

4. Patient:

Patience goes along with perseverance. However there are a few differences. You need to be patient in all circumstances and have what it takes so you never give up. You are definitely going to learn a whole lot. Do you have what it takes to be patient if you are not earning an income right away while you are learning? Sometimes you will spend a lot of time researching or doing other tedious things to make your web page successful. You might go down one avenue only to find it leads to a dead end of web research. Patience is a necessary requirement. If you are working a full time job and starting to branch off into your online based career part time, then you must have even more patience, because there never ever seems to be enough time to do all you want to do.

5. Ambitious:

Determination is the driving force that will keep you on task when common sense might be telling you to quit. There has to be a reason for you to want to pursue your dream of earning an income online. If you are not highly motivated it will just take you longer to reach your goals.
How do you stay motivated? Celebrate each success along the way to reaching your goals, or create mini goals along the way toward the one main goal of making a living online. If you find your ambition is not as strong as it was when you first started then perhaps you need to take some time to regroup.
Keep records and notes of your progress. Sometimes it helps when you look back and then you realize how far you have advanced. Even minor setbacks or having to start over should be considered progress. Everything is a step towards success because we learn each day from our results.

To summarize the five basic personality traits necessary to make a
living online include perseverance, being teachable, creative, patient, and ambitious. Of course there are more characteristics that successful online entrepreneurs have, but these five seem to be the most widely shared. If you are not sure if you are suited for a lifestyle of earning an income online, but you want to attempt it, then chances are that you do have these characteristics, but maybe they just are not developed yet. There are several books that have been published to help you develop what you need to survive and succeed online. Take that first step forward and you are on your way.
