You’ve got to love British Airways! For the entire month of November they are offering the most amazing airfare prices and incredible, full out packages!

Always wanted to visit Cairo? I have! Well, how about a round-trip ticket from New York to Cairo PLUS three (3) nights at the Le Meridien Pyramids for just a tad over $1000. Have London on your mind but thought travel was out of your reach? Not now it isn’t! Three days, plus round-trip from New York for just $659! (more…)

What would you have to say when you reach 90? What do you have to say if you’re already there? Read what Regina Brett, 90 years old, of The Plain Dealer, Cleveland, Ohio has to say about growing older:

“To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I’ve ever written..” (more…)

If you missed this earlier post about Susan Boyle then I’d say you’ve been living under a rock, but I’d mean it kindly. Susan has the entire world on the edge of its collective seat, and last night was her second chance to shine on Britain’s Got Talent.

If you haven’t heard her sing yet, start by listening to her audition first.

That one they didn’t enable embedding, so you will have to head to YouTube, but do it’s really worth it. Even if you’ve heard her already, hearing it again will just make your heart sing.

And last night, while I agree that someone (I hear coaches from Britain’s Got Talent?) tried to influence the way she does her thing, it only took a stanza for her to get back inside herself, dig deep, and pull out what we all were waiting so breathlessly to hear… SUSAN singing.

To rate Susan’s second time on the show you’ll have to click the link to get over to YouTube.

In the meantime, they have let people have access to this second round, so for your viewing pleasure on this wonderful Memorial Day, we present the talented Susan Boyle singing “Memory” from the musical Cats.

THE EMBEDDED VIDEO USED TO SIT HERE – they disabled the streaming so just use the link above (the voting one) to get to Susan Boyle’s semi-final video.

Before you leave – or better yet look around for marketing and advertising helps, tips, and how to’s on this blog – there is a reason (besides her voice) that Susan is bringing so much hope to so many. And a reason as to why this post is up today.

With the world in the shape its in, yes the entire world, don’t we all appreciate a moment, that little ray of sunshine that says everything is going to be okay?

Susan Boyle is also a living example that you should pursue your dreams be they online or offline without hesitation. It took her 47 almost 48 years to get where she is right now.

Those online thinking it will be or should be a breeze to riches, think again. Nothing, absolutely nothing, happens overnight. Nothing happens without putting in the time, putting forth tremendous effort over and above anyone else in your chosen niche or product promotion.

For those looking to make a living online, use Susan Boyle as your example. Remember to stay the course, remain true to yourself and your goals, and work you arse off to get what you want… success!

Happy Memorial Day to those in the U.S. and a wonderful upcoming week to all!

I received this email earlier in the day from my father. What do you think…? Personally I think it has a ton of merit:

This is from an article in the St. Petersburg Times Newspaper on Sunday. The Business Section asked readers for ideas on “How Would You Fix the Economy?”

Dear Mr. President:

Please find below my suggestion for fixing America’s economy.

Instead of giving billions of dollars to companies that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan.

You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan:

There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force.

Pay them $1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:

1) They MUST retire. Forty million job openings – Unemployment fixed.

2) They MUST buy a new American CAR. Forty million cars ordered- Auto Industry fixed.

3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage – Housing Crisis fixed.

It can’t get any easier than that!

If more money is needed, have all members of Congress and their constituents pay their taxes…

Okay, it’s YOUR turn… so what do YOU think? Please comment!

The only thing I will say is 1) get tissues ready; 2) watch all the judges faces and the audience; 3) use headphones if possible; and 4) thoroughly enjoy yourself! You deserve this so click here! – and remember… never give up!
