I want what I want
I am worthy and deserving
so let's have it
Visit http://millionairebillionairetrillionaire.blogspot.com/
Have you had that feeling of "envy" rearing it's jealous head when you come across a friend, peer or colleague who has accomplished something you have LONGED desired? What is so different about them than you? How come they have been able to make it happen and you haven't? What is their secret?
I attempt to answer this question in this video...the answer may surprise you
If you want to succeed in the world must make your own opportunities as you go on. The man/woman who waits for some seventh wave to toss him/her on dry land will find that the seventh wave is a long time coming. You can commit no greater folly than to sit by the roadside until someone comes along and invites you to ride with him/her to wealth or influence. (JG)

It's so important that we provide resources, services & share in helping our tween girls develope into confident and successful young ladies..who will take over the world. Sharing The Miss Expo is a great beginning..
The Goal Of Miss Expo:
The Miss Expo was developed in order to prepare tween girls for the changes that take place during puberty. Those changes not only include physical development but also emotional and social changes as well. Some of the topics which will be included in these discussions are: growth and development, hygiene and menstruation. These topics need to be discussed with tween girls so they can feel secure in their understanding of the new feelings they are becoming aware of, peer relationships, social concerns and pressures and the changes their bodies are experiencing that will launch them into adolescence and young adulthood.

Author Sharon Fox.....Mother, Author, Food/Wine Editor, TV Host...
Food and Cooking have always been my passion, but that's only HALF of my love. Inspiring and enriching the lives of others is the other half of what gives my life purpose.
COMFORT FOOD has been nominated for Best COOKBOOK of the Year!!
Author Sharon Fox is "FOCUSED ON THE GOAL" (RJ)...and she's not letting up no time soon...
How does a cookbook fit into my purpose?
Well, everyone has to eat. Everyone has to eventually COOK! God has blessed me with this passion for food and cooking. Food is something that can destroy all barriers...race, creed, sex, age, etc. It is the one thing we all have in common, so my gift for cooking is an International gift! It's a way to break the ice and get into the hearts of people. It's my way of inviting you all to the table for dinner and conversation!
I WAS THAT GIRL...THE ONE WHO THOUGHT SHE HAD TO FIX EVERYTHING, CONTROL EVERY OUTCOME AND JUST BE IN CONTROL ALL THE TIME. Until I had a revelation...FEAR is a manmade myth and that when I learn to LET GO I gain control...enjoy the blog post below where I share my insight into my revelation and how you can uncover the same journey for yourself. ~Katrina
======================================================================
I started my day as normal, clear focused intentions, meditation time and time to give thanks. I’m ready to hit my day swinging focusing on my W.I.N. and making things happen because that’s what creatives do. Then it hit me….my video camera battery was completely out and the video I needed to record early this morning to send to my list for registration to my 21 Day challenge was already 3 hours late. My kids were in full fledge “mommy! mommy!” mode and I felt the twinge of “ugh” reach my belly – an all to familiar feeling of…”FEAR”
I know the signs…frustration, annoyance “why didn’t I charge the camera up last night!!!” and even the feeling of putting off my objective for today for another day (procrastination). ALL the ugly signs of FEAR that in the past would mean I would find myself “fighting” to get through the day, needing to make sacrifices instead of choices. I wasn’t having it…afterall I wrote the book on learning to “let go” and Embrace the real journey of your life. No way I was going to start tripping today.
Instead I did what I have learned to do…I told FEAR to buzz off…in my Martin Lawrence voice I told it to “Get to Steppin’” because I know now that FEAR isn’t real. It’s a manufactured emotion we’ve created when the perception of the world doesn’t happen the way we “think” it should. In other words…I ignored the fear and instead found courage to make a different choice.
Why is Fear a Myth?
It would take me an entire book to explain how I have come and am still evolving to learn that FEAR is a big ole nasty myth that we’ve all purchased, but to put it in few words. Fear is a myth because all that there is is LOVE and ABUNDANCE. We’ve been conditioned to accept fear because we have also been conditioned that we cannot control but should fight to control everything. You know…the client that doesn’t respond to the email fast enough or even the partner that doesn’t seem to “get” your point of view in business or maybe the product launch that isn’t selling. We feel as though we have to fight every battle in life…with only a few worth fighting. All those creepy thoughts that love to remind you that ‘fear” is a constant thing we must FIGHT-{a daily battle of external manifestations that don’t add up to our PERCEPTION of the world}. The constant reminder of Fear that we’re not good enough, smart enough, have enough money, our kids don’t do enough or fear that we’re not working hard enough to push past generational curses that we are determined not to repeat. So we MUST fight.

I am currently an doing an ongoing radio promo tour for my novel "Ebony the Beloved" ,domestic violence, bullying, and child abuse, if you'd like to interview me or know someone who does, please email me at Hdspivey@hotmail.com. I look forward to hearing from you, thanks! :-)

By now, you may have heard Cinch.fm is leaving us. Sad day, I know. Cinch.fm was one of the online resources I pointed people to all the time. Quick and easy to use, you could record audio lessons, roving thoughts, news bytes and more. And you could do this all by computer or your phone while you're out and about, sharing it on your social sites at the click of a button.
Alas, the service shut down on August 20, 2012.
So...you need options for accomplishing the same thing? Need a way to capture your audios that can be shared consistently across your online network? Being the "walking Google" that I am, I've got a few for you.
#1 - Spreaker
Spreaker.com is an online app for creating and sharing live audio content across the Internet. They target users who want to be seen as "Radio DJs" and I've seen them expand their features just within the last few months. Spreaker is a simple way to host personal radio shows that can be streamed live and heard through a widget that feeds to all the major social media and mobile platforms.
Great features? No need to install anything. You can broadcast live on Facebook. You can create your own playlist and schedule your show at the time you choose.
They have a free plan, which is great for starting out. If you need more time (since the free version limits you to 30 minute recordings), you'll want to upgrade. Starting at $39/year, plans are pretty affordable.
#2 - Audio Acrobat
I'm a fan of the founders of this platform. They started out years ago with the intention of creating a way for women to have their voices heard loud and clear using online media.
Catch my interview with the founder here
(Note: I used BlogTalkRadio to conduct the interview, which is another way to podcast. I won't highlight them here because so many people already use their service, but it's another one to check out. Just be ready to invest in the monthly service because it offers more flexibility with recordings than their free plan.)
Ok, back to AudioAcrobat.com ---
These guys give you lots and lots and lots of options so it's not just a podcasting service. You can record coaching sessions, audio interviews, audio "postcards", and more. Share your podcast easily with iTunes and other directories. Preschedule posts to go out when you want. You can even use your iPhone to create episodes that you upload right into your account.
I love their customer service and they also have a great affiliate program, one of the first I ever made commission from because people just loved using them once they drooled over all the features.
Basic plan is $19.95 monthly. All plans come with a free 30 day trial.
#3 - Evoca
Evoca.com is another great tool for podcasting. They tend to market to people who want to do audio interviews because of a really great integration that some people don't realize can work very well - Skype. When you record an interview without the right tools over Skype, the sound is not always quality EXCEPT I have had no issues whatsoever when tying Evoca with it.
Using Skype with Evoca gives you crystal clear, no-cost phone connections, even if you're interviewing someone across the globe. Just join your interviewee on your Evoca-provided dedicated phone number.
Idea alert? You could use Evoca's embeddable widget on your website for testimonials. People share their comments using the widget like online recorder on your website and it's much like leaving someone a voice message.
Post interviews with Evoca quickly to your website or blog, Facebook fan page or profile page and Twitter. Plans start at $6.95/month and you can test them out with a free trial.
I'm sure there are other tools out there, but these three are my favorite and if you're looking for a way to replace Cinch.fm's service, check them out and see what suits your fancy.
Shout out to the Cinch.fm folks and all the best in your future endeavors. We're sad to see you go.

Are you a writing machine and can simply crank out great content at the drop of a dime, all day, every day? Probably not and if not, pay close attention to this post. Private Label Rights (PLR) is a stress relieving “must do” when it comes to content creation for your business! Blog posting, article writing, information products, you name it, PLR can be a life saver as well as a money maker and has been a well-kept secret of many of the top producing, big name gurus!
Creating content can be very time consuming and it can rob you of time that could be better spent elsewhere. Creating blog posts, articles, and E-books can place you in the red in a heartbeat and drain you! Taking advantage of PLR will enable you to spend your time in more productive places like building your business and your bank account!
What Exactly is PLR?
Private Label Rights (PLR) is a license where the author sells the intellectual property rights to their work. The license is defined by the author of the work in that they can tell you what you can and cannot do with the property. By purchasing the content, you agree to the terms. When it comes to content for your blog, you purchase the rights for someone else’s content and use it as your own.
Many people use PLR primarily for blog content. When used appropriately, PLR is a great source! Blogging consistently and on a daily basis can take a lot of time, mental energy and effort. When it comes to blogging for business and success, there is no way around this task! It is a requirement. While blogging alone is not an income producing activity it is a direct stepping stone to income which makes it a necessity for those looking to leverage blogging as a part of their income producing strategy. Using PLR will allow you to spend less time on content and more time on other income-producing activities.
Who Benefits from PLR?
Anyone can benefit from PLR, however; it can be especially beneficial for the new marketer who doesn’t have their own product 
to offer and who isn’t a very strong writer. For those looking to establish themselves, offering an E-book or free report is a way to go and this is where PLR for the newbie is hands down, a life saver. You can brand PLR products by using a professional cover and editing the content to make sure it’s niche specific and has some of your own voice to it. By offering a PLR product, you have something to give your reader in exchange for the reader giving you their information.
How Exactly Do You Use PLR?
Depending on the PLR license, you may also be able to re-sell the product. Some E-books offer personalization, so that you can promote your affiliate links for specific products. Using this type of product will help you produce some immediate income to sustain your online marketing business. With all of the hard work out of the way, you can have a product to offer from Day 1!
Before purchasing PLR, check to see how many copies of the content has already been sold! The LAST thing you want to do is purchase content that has been sold in unlimited quantities. The internet world, though big, is very small. If you get content from a source that has sold in unlimited quantities, people will figure it out and this could potentially rob you of the credibility that you are looking to build as a newbie. You want to buy from a source that sells its content in limited quantities. The PLR content must be presented in a way that only you know that you have used it. This is why it is important to customize the PLR to make it your own and to give your own unique voice. Not all PLR content is created equal and I have seen some really, really bad stuff on the market with tons of spelling and grammatical errors. You cannot simply buy and post. There are a few simple steps in between!
PLR content can be a stepping stone to a nice 6-figure business when leveraged correctly with your existing business strategy. It saves time, energy, effort and money! This is one of the sexy secrets of many that are at the top in their niches and business! I encourage you to explore the secret PLR world and more importantly make sure that you partner with a source that provides quality content such as MLM PLR Store!
To your success,

Hey Gang, Charlie Here!
I promised you a bell and a dame of my word I here by present to you the best one of them all---Belle the belle of the ball!
Oh yeah, make sure to come back in two weeks to cop a gander of our gal Izzy.
~~~
Now Charlie is a tough act to follow but no one has ever accused me of an unholy amount of fear so here goes nothing!
As you may imagine I like my men shaken and stirred. Clothing is optional but not decency or common sense. My favorite body part on a woman? A great pair of gams. My favorite body part on a man? The brain and a well chiseled back, the better to grip him with, my dear!
All told, my life philosophy is simple: Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Barring that, strike first!
Nice to meet you.
