Watch “Heathrow Airport “POD Cars” – From Heathrow’s Terminal 5 to Business Car Park B” on YouTube
I’ve always been fascinated with the United Kingdom. It started when I was a kid upon learning that my family (on my paternal side) originated in Lancashire, which is located in Northern #England. Though on my mother’s side I had a different heritage, it was the English I most related to. I’m really not sure why. It may have been my exposure to everything British when my mom and step dad were stationed in Berlin. They had a...

Trump Tax Records Obtained by The Times Reveal He Could Have Avoided Paying Taxes for Nearly Two Decades
The documents show, for example, that while Mr. #Trump reported $7.4 million in interest income in 1995, he made only $6,108 in wages, salaries and tips. They also suggest Mr. Trump took full advantage of generous tax loopholes specifically available to commercial real estate developers to claim a $15.8 million loss in 1995 on his real estate holdings and partnerships. At the risk of being the devil’s advocate, this is an excellent explanation why Trump hasn’t (possibly) paid...

Days 5 and 6 The Road to Profit for My Virtual Pet Store
Days Five and Six Although this may not sound like a lot of money right now, keep in mind this is the first week of operations. I also can outsource the entire process if I wanted to while I sit at home, lay on the beach or enjoy a cocktail… It is also scale-able. I have the option to increase my advertising budget or build/buy another niche shop. Similar to the one below, the Urban Men’s clothing...

You can build stores online all day long… it’s easy enough. The hard part is getting people to shop and purchase from you. Today I am trying something different with a store I just created. I actually did something I never do, host on a platform other than WordPress and NOT use my hown hosting. The platform I chose is Shopify. I gave myself a deadline to build and get people in the door in less...

Traveling the World on a Budget – Berlin , Germany
I’m very analytical on everything I do… so it’s no surprise that when I travel, I try to get the most for my money. After all, the extra money I am giving to the airlines could be working to make me additional money on my marketing endeavors…. Yes, everything unfortunately has a cost. More specifically, everything has an opportunity cost. What am I giving up by spending more on a ticket? What am I forfeiting...

How do you let go of drama? – Ram Dass
Don’t treat yourself so gingerly; you can let go of stuff. Sometimes it takes three breaths instead of two to do it, but you can do it. Be a little tougher and don’t cling to stuff. People go around carrying everybody’s stuff all of the time. I just pick it up and put it down. Pick it up and put it down. That doesn’t mean I’m not compassionate, it doesn’t mean I don’t love people. But holding onto...
