As an online grandparent trying to succeed in internet marketing I am reaching the conclusion that it is time to follow my dreams! Internet marketing is a highly infiltrated industry. I have been diligently working various businesses for approximately 7 years now. I am about to share how I am going to pursue what I have always wanted to do with my life.
So often I think we get caught up in other people’s “causes”. Nowadays there are a lot of causes on the internet. I am not afraid to put in a lot of effort and time into a project to make it work. I am ready to take what I have learned and use it to launch out on a journey to accomplish what I have wanted to do since I graduated high school.
Many years ago I had a dream of what I wanted to do with my life. I took a course in learning how to write children’s books. Writing has always been a passion of mine. It could be children’s books, poetry, a “How to” article or even relating events in my life in “My Life‘s Story“. I am looking forward to incorporating the wonderful lives of my grandchildren into “Heavenly Critters”, and documenting the path of the lifetime I have traveled.
I have spent over 45 years in the corporate world as an executive administrative assistant and my latest position was as a document control specialist with a pharmaceutical company. Clinical Trials sometimes fail and corporations are forced to downsize and positions are eliminated. I was unsuccessful in my search to find a new position and decided to work-full time in an online business opportunity I was doing part- time.
Since then I have retired and moved onto other online opportunities. I was blessed to be introduced to the Crazy Foxes Marketing Group and learned much from other members who are experts in the industry. They reached out and helped each other like I’ve never seen before. It was a true team community. One of the greatest outcomes from being in the Crazy Foxes was becoming a member in NPN – Global NPN.com. I truly feel that this is the greatest secret on the internet. NPN provides you with an amazing arsenal of networking tools to help you succeed in whatever online business you are working. You will be provided with great tutorials and videos. You can create capture pages, have multi-ad trackers, autoresponders, lead blasters downline mailers, and including, but not limited to, an affiliate system that will allow you to make a full time income.
I am grateful for NPN as it will be the means of income that will allow me to finally follow my dreams! I can now devote my time and attention to writing children’s books, poetry and my life story. I am extremely excited to have this opportunity.
I got to thinking when I realized that NPN was going to finance my future goals that if this was a fantastic opportunity for me that it could also help others finance their internet marketing endeavors. Check NPN out and see how it can help pay for your other memberships and autoships.
I sincerely wish you the very best in whatever you do. I know that you will find great success with NPN.
By law, full-power television stations nationwide must begin broadcasting exclusively in a digital format by June 12, 2009. The U.S. Congress approved an extension of the deadline, which was originally set for February 17.
I was thinking about this this other day and a few things crossed my mind. How many people are out there running around in a tizzy trying to make sure everything is in place for June 12th so they will not be without television?
Are we sure that our “heart” reception is in place for when that last trumpet blows and we are called home? Far too few of us are giving as much thought to that as we do to our televisions.
In this day of economic crisis many of us are in a state of great turmoil as to how we are going to survive, and how we are going to provide for our families. It is important that we don’t get caught up in the fear of “What will happen?”, “What am I going to do?” and woe is me. This kind of thinking will immobilize you for what you need to do NOW.
I have been through hard times. I was divorced after 12 years of marriage and raised two beautiful daughters through some very financially difficult times. There were many weeks that all we had was $10.00 for food to last us. Believe me, I can relate to people going through hard times. I do not take this lightly. Yes it is difficult.
Sometimes it is through our most difficult situations that we find greater opportunities. We will come out on the other side of our economic crisis better off if we are encountering our trials with the right mindset. After trying to be in control of my life and make everything better I realized that God is much better at these things than I am. He knows what lies ahead. I gave my life to Him and the control of it as well. I am sure there were many times that people thought I had an “I don’t give a darn” attitude, but that was not case. I lived by faith and knew that by the grace of God we were going to be okay.
Two years ago I was laid off from a pharmaceutical company that had to downsize. I was planning on this being my last job before retiring. I was unable to find a comparable job and last year I filed for an early retirement.
I had already been working at a home based internet marketing business. I continued with that. Let me take this opportunity to stress that before you embark on a home based business be sure you know all of the facts about the company you are considering. After working extremely hard at the one I was in it became apparent that there was a lot of money going out and nothing coming in. I am not a quiter, but had to admit that it was time I faced facts that this company was not going to work for me.
I felt that there was still opportunity and benefits to working at home. I perserved and found the following online internet business opportunities that I would highly recommend. I am a retired grandparent in the world of online business opportunities. Never let it be said that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks!!
In joining $200 Per Day Bluprint there were other systems involved to make everything work. It wasn’t long and I signed up with The New Plan Network (GlobalNPN.com). For $10.75 a month you will be amazed at the marketing tools that you will have in addition to being able to use NPN’s Unique “Power of 1″ Marketing Strategy to generate $47,508.00 by just making one easy $10.75 sale per month.
The next step was becoming involved with the Crazy Foxes Marketing Group. This is an amazing group of like minded leaders in the industry that provide support 24/7. I learned more from the Crazy Foxes in three months then I did the previous three years I was working online. They provide training tutorials and it is a marvelous family community. Get your FREE Crazy Foxes Report, DAM-It. These will be the best 7 pages you have ever read. They can change the direction you are going in your business.
The next step in developing my business and online marketing tools was to become connected with Veretekk. By this stage I could not help but think….”It just keeps getting better.” Veretekk is a very powerful system providing lead generation, portal and SEO marketing, Veremail, Vereconference with live training, training modules and video tutorials for every aspect of the system. You can sign up for FREE to be a Silver Member and if you sign up before April 1st to be a Gold Member the upgrade fees have been waived. April 1st there are going to be many more features included. There will even be a social network, and the Conference room is being increased to 5 seats included in your membership.
The Crazy Foxes also keeps its members abreast of new business opportunities that they have looked over and feel are beneficial. Members are not obligated to join these, but recently I joined an opportunity that is worth promoting.
The name of the company is Ultra International. It is a global opportunity that provides solutions for your home, health and wealth. These products are chemically free, and even the bottles are biodegradable within 30 days. If you are one 94% of the mothers who were recently surveyed that replied they would change their cleaning and healthcare products if they knew they were harmful …. now is your opportunity. There is no financial investment requirement. The products all have a 90 day money back guarantee. You can even sign on as a customer and as a loyal customer you will be rewarded and can over time make $10,000.00 a month. Where do you find a company that rewards faithful customers? The products are spa quality. Check out the compensation plan. You will be amazed.
On one of the Ultra training calls, “Wake Up with Scott and Bobbie” this morning Scott made a meaningful statement. He is looking for the calvary coming over the hill to save him and his family. Ultra is the calvary and our economic rescue. This is a program where you transfer your buying habits.
I want to personally share my testimony about one of the Ultra products. It is their Body meal replacement product. I started taking it the end of January and I have currently lost 23 pounds. Although losing this weight is truly exciting, there is something that excites me more. For the past two years I have been on medication for knee pain, leg pain and lower back pain. I had many sleepless nights laying there with pain starting at my waist, in my hips and down my legs to my feet. I had to move my office downstairs because I could not do the stairs any more. When I went shopping with my daughter I could barely get in and out of the car, let alone walk without pain. And I really was sad to hobble along with my grandchildren. Last weekend my daughter and I were out shopping for 7 hours, and 6 stores. I must admit the bottoms of my toes were sore because of the shoes I wore, but that was the extent of the pain. Any other time I would have been unable to move the next day. The only thing I am doing differently in my life is taking Body!”
I hope that this information will be helpful to you. Please take the time to check out these opportunities.
I wish you all of the very best. You can survive these times!
My son-in-law gave my daughter and his two children tickets to see Cirque du Soleil, Kooza for Christmas. He was extremely thoughtful and included me in this outing. Yesterday was the big day. It is really difficult to find words to describe how awesome we all found this production. Absolutely amazing!
It was by far the most entertaining event of this nature I have ever seen. Even before Kooza started there were clowns and people from the production entertaining the crowd.
It was wonderful to not only watch the talents of these entertainers but to watch the expressions on my grandchildren’s faces. We all sat in amazement.
The show lasted for approximately three hours with a 30 minute intermission. It seemed that we had no more than sat down and it was over. Now that is entertainment!!
In looking back on this exciting event you can’t help but think of the number of hours of training and practice these entertainers put into these acts. In addition, the precise placement of props and work of the production crew is phenomenal. Every aspect of this production worked perfectly. A very well oiled machine of people and materials all coming together to give those of us in attendance more than we could have ever hoped for, and believe me we were hoping for a lot. It is definitely difficult to find words to describe our feelings.
I was sitting here today thinking about those of us in the internet marketing business. There are so many “tools” out there to help us become successful. There are also tools that won’t do a thing to add to our success and serve to just deplete our finances. I have been in internet marketing for approximately 3 years. I have been very successful when it comes to finding the finance depleting tools!!
I am excited to share that over the past 6 months I have been introduced to the tools, props and well oiled machinery of leaders in the industry that will assist me in soaring to higher levels to achieve success in my online business. Granted being an almost 63 year old grandmother I won’t be able to swing on a trapeze, walk on stilts, spin around on the wheel of death, or accomplish any of the other amazing feats that the cast of Kooza performed, but I will become successful at my online marketing business.
I have the “crew” of the Crazy Foxes Marketing Group to thank for opening up my eyes to a world of legitimate marketing tools. They have put in many hours of training and practice to help us. In addition the members of the Crazy Foxes are all available to help 24/7. There is a new report, DAM-IT that is available that will tell you all you need to know about the Crazy Foxes. If you are serious about marketing online, you really should take the time to read this report.
You will several programs find listed on the Crazy Foxes site that you will find useful. I have said it before, and I will say it again. I have learned more in the past 6 months with the Crazy Foxes than I have in the previous 2-1/2 years.

Internet marketing is truly exciting and during this crucial time in our economy, I believe we have a great vehicle here to succeed and bring our families through these tough times.
As a grandparent involved in internet marketing I am taking the license to relate my home business with gardening. I hope you don’t mind!
When this time of the year rolls around my thoughts start to wander to spring time. I think about the types of flowers and vegetables I want to grow and where I will plant them.
It occurred to me today that we have other gardens in our lives. They don’t all exist on the outside in the sunshine. They don’t all involve fertile soil.
Some of our plantings are in our heads and involve our thoughts, visions and dreams. These are watered not by the rain or garden hose, but by our attitudes, love for others and hard work.
I think that when we have unkind thoughts about someone we have got to be producing some pretty ugly weeds! When we get involved with a project that in our hearts we know will not glorify God, we can rest be assured that we will produce some horrific vegetation. Maybe something along the lines of the Venus Fly Trap that will cause others to stumble.
I got to thinking about my internet marketing business. Let’s face it, there are a lot of scams out there. Being a grandparent in the midst of all this internet technology I am always trying to learn and be sure that I am not involved with something that will not be productive and beneficial.
I appreciate the pay it forward principle. There have been many people in this vast internet marketing industry that have given of their time and expertise to me. I want to be able to do the same.
About six months ago I was introduced to the Crazy Foxes Marketing Group. This is a remarkable group of leaders in the industry that are always there to help others. Success truly blooms in this group.
I have also become involved with Veretekk. Tom Pendergast and Mike Darling, the owners of this company, are always striving to make the systems better for the people in their programs. When you attend a meeting and listen to Tom there is never a doubt that he has a heart for God and the people in his company. Veretekk is making some awesome improvements and they have waived the fee to upgrade to Gold from a Silver membership until April 1st. This is a savings of $100.00. I have been in internet marketing for several years and am totally amazed at the services Veretekk provides us to become successful with our businesses. I must say at this point, if you are part of Veretekk you are going to have a celestial garden and produce good fruit!!
Veretekk provides video tutorials for all aspects of their many programs. I have never found myself wondering, “What do I do now”, where there hasn’t been a tutorial I could look at. They also provide live training.
I think it is important that we appreciate life for what it is without expectations of what we think it should be. Disappointment is inevitable but discouragement is a choice. We have the ability to rid our lives, inside and out, of ugly weeds. That way we will have more time to smell the roses!!
I am a single grandparent surving the economy with a home based internet marketing business. There are many hardships in our lives nowadays. We are all being wounded left and right in one way or another.
There are many ways you can be wounded. Some instances are physically, mentally, financially or emotionally. Which do you dread the most? Seriously, I am concerned and asking this question so that you can answer it. We are called to bear one another’s burdens! I am serious. In hards times like these we need to be looking out for each other. Even if we see a stranger in need, we should stop and help them.
I have been wounded several times physically in car accidents. Actually one of my last accidents made the hairs on my arms stand at attention. I was on my way home from listening to a friend perform and an opossum crossed the road in from of me. I was approximately two blocks from home. I looked back over my shoulder to see if the critter was safe and when I turned back to the road my car was perfectly centered on a very large concrete utility pole. When I came to in the hospital the next morning I remembered a man dragging me out of my car and trying to revive me in his house with wet wash clothes. I also remembered walking towards my dad and he said to me, “You can’t come now you have your mother and two girls to look after.” I had just gotten divorced after being married for 12 years. My dad had passed away 11 years before. I was told I was very fortunate to be alive and I don’t doubt that in the least.
People are wounded mentally on a daily basis. Domestic mental abuse, parentalm ental abuse, and just the overall stress of trying to make ends meet in our everyday lives can wound us mentally. I personally would take physical wounding over mental wounding. The scars are not visible with mental wounding but they can last a lifetime. I find mental exhaustion more extensive than physical exhaustion. What do you think?
With the economic crisis in our country, currently many people are suffering financial wounding. There are numerous corporate people who have devoted their lives to their jobs who are now facing layoffs. I was laid off over two years ago. It is difficult to replace a job that you have worked many years at, climbing the ladder and developing capabilities with a similar position. You can always step down and toss all of your expertise you have worked so hard to acquire aside and work at a supermarket, restaurant, or retail store. There most definitely is nothing wrong with those jobs, but in developing your skills you have also climbed the compensation ladder. Your income will not reflect all the skills that you have worked very hard to learn if you are forced to step down and take a different position to help make ends meet. It is especially wounding to be the sole earner in your household. My heart and prayers go out to people who have families to support. When the main supporter in a household has to take on another job (for a total of two) this could cause wounding in all of the areas mentioned above….physically, mentally, financially and emotionally. Because of the many hours this person will need to work to support his family this suffering is also passed on to the other members of the family. They will have less time for their spouse, their children or even just relaxation time for themself. This can create an enormous amount of stress. Everyone ends up feeling like the victim.
If you have been laid off, forced to take an early retirement or just need to make additional income perhaps you would interested in internet marketing business opportunities. I took an early retirement and am enjoying working online at home. If you chose this route, take advantage of the many tools out there. I am a member of the Crazy Foxes Marketing Group. I have shared this before, but this is a group of sincere professionals in the industry. They have all helped this grandparent develop skills I never knew I could learn. The Crazy Foxes recently released a new FREE report titled “DAM-IT“. If you are contemplating an internet marketing business opportunity I would highly recommend you read this report first.
Granted not everything on the internet is legit. One business I’ve discovered is Veretekk. It is a definite breath of fresh air. Tom Pendergast and Mike Darling, the owners, have hearts for the people involved with their company. They sincerely care and want to see their people successful. Their system is very powerful. Then there is the New Plan Network that offers a plethora of services. If you are going into a business where you need to track your results you will want to check into NPN and also ProTracker Plus. Both provide services that will be highly beneficial to you.
I wish you and your family solutions to your problems and healing for your wounds, whatever species they may be.
Just as the strong winds and heavy rains came racing through my area today, the following thoughts raced through my mind. I am always thinking of ways to become better at my internet marketing business. As I am a Grandparent in training when it comes to learning the many facets of internet marketing I want to pass these thoughts along to others that might be in the same position.
When we reach retirement age we have come through many years of being the best we could be at what we were doing in the corporate workplace. I was laid off from a pharmaceutical company almost three years ago. Failed Clinical Trials do not give warnings to people who have worked in developing the product. I was a document control person/administrative assistance in the quality assurance department. My whole department was dismissed, as were the screening lab personnel, lab technicians, scientists and many others. I found myself sitting at home one day and thinking, “What do I do now?”
I had had some previous experience with internet marketing and this seemed to be a good route to take. Having a home based internet marketing business I would have a flexible schedule and still be able to spend time with my family. I could still play with the grandkids. And lets face it, parts of our bodies tend to retire when we go into retirement!
I continued working extremely hard at my online business. I finally realized this particular busines was not going to work. That is not to say that other people were not finding success, but on the whole there were a lot of us that decided this would not supplement our Social Security payments. This is one of the reasons I recently wrote a blog advising people to be certain to do their due diligence on the internet business they were contemplating.
So today as I was sitting working at my current, successful home based internet business the rain was coming down in sheets and the wind was beating it against the window. I noticed that a single raindrop would start out at the top of the window and run down and be joined by another drop and this continued until this one little raindrop was now a driven rush of power from all the drops that had joined it by the time it reached the bottom of the window.
This is the momentum you want in your business. This is what you look for in order to be successful. I am so excited about the Crazy Foxes Internet Marketing Group.(CFMG) It is like that raindrop. I joined as a single raindrop and became part of a group of like-minded people and together we are becoming a strong “stream” finding success. We are becoming a stronger force of talents and success. Crazy Foxes has programs that will provide marketing tools to help you succeed at your internet marketing business. There are other income streams as part of the Crazy Foxes program. You will find 24/7 support from leaders in the industry. And the Crazy Foxes‘ new FREE report, DAM-IT is causing quite a stir on the internet. If you are interested in finding success in internet marketing, you owe it to yourself to read this report.
One of the great programs that the Crazy Foxes promotes is Veretekk. Sign up for a Free Silver Account. This is our marketing system, our lead generator, SEO producer, and more… plus it is ONE of our primary income sources. There is power in Veretekk. You are going to eventually need a gold account, but a free silver will get you started. When you do upgrade to gold, it is going to cost you $41.95 per month, but it is going to pay you far more. Until April 1, 2009 the fee to upgrade to a Gold member at Veretekk has been waived. This is a $100.00 savings.
In closing let me mention two other programs. One is ProTracker Plus. Even as a FREE member you gain an incredible advantage analyzing and tracking your ads with ProTrackerPlus! It allows you to track your hits, conversions and more, AND you get paid to refer others. And to keep this short, the final program that I would like to mention is a real income generator, and I’m talking SERIOUS income, the New Plan Network (NPN) and its products are the internet’s best kept secret. From Capture Page creator, to the elite multisponder auto responder system, these are absolute must haves for every internet marketer. $10.75 is all it takes to turn this machine on. We do recommend starting at the Plus level ($19.97), but if your budget is tight, Pro will get you going.
Don’t remain that solitary, ineffective raindrop, fighting for success in your internet marketing business. Take the time to read DAM-IT, and check out the programs mentioned above. You will be able to go up to the next level. You will be able to be involved with people who care about YOU and care about YOUR success. You can be in the stream of success!!
I sometimes find myself being too serious. For this reason I thought I’d start this week off with a real life story. Trust me, it was not funny at the time, but it wasn’t long before it produced many a chuckle. It is in reflecting back on times like these that I am so very grateful for my online internet business opportunities with the Crazy Foxes Marketing Group.
After my oldest daughter graduated high school in Boca Raton, Florida we decided to move back up north. I had been divorced for approximately nine years. My youngest daughter still had one more year of high school to complete, but we were all in agreement that it was time to make a change. Our plan was to drive first to Maine where I would help my brother in his restaurants and then move to Vermont in time for school in the fall.
As a single mom I did not have the money to pay for a mover so we loaded all of our worldly possessions on the biggest U-Haul Truck available. (24 ft – 27 ft) It was huge. There was not a smidge of space left. It was so packed that when I came across my jewelry box I asked my girlfriend for a Ziploc bag, dumped my jewelry in it, tossed the box in the trash and threw the bag under the seat of the truck.
Now in order to get the full picture of this escapade imagine this sight. A 48 year old single mom, two teenage daughters, a Shitzu/Pekingnese, two cats, a parakeet, and a blue headed Amazon parrot in the cab of the truck. I was towing my Toyota Celica which was packed with suitcases, etc. and also carried a very precious cargo….our Doberman/Dalmatian mix and our black Lab.
As we said our goodbyes, cried and jumped up into the truck I found myself thinking, “What are you doing?” I started the engine and we were off. I had a constant conversation going with Jesus. And thank God He had us in the palm of His hand.
It wasn’t long before my fears were confirmed. Only three of the five gears worked on the truck. The air conditioner was less efficient than us blowing on each other, (and this was the middle of July) and the radio did not work. Teenagers on this type of a journey are disgruntled enough without having music!!
We hadn’t gotten out of Florida before the truck had a muffler problem. I pulled over to a rest area. A repairman came out and it wasn’t long before we were back on our way. His comment, “I am sure glad you are leaving my territory, this truck isn’t road worthy” distressed me to say the least.
We traveled I-95 up the east coast. I got off at one point to get gas and it was one of those crazy places where you had specific turn lanes to get back on. I found a gas station, but for the life of me I could not find my way back to I-95. It was after 10 PM. I turned down one street and it went up a hill and dead ended. I developed a true admiration for truck drivers on that trip!! I managed to get turned around with the truck tipping and the girls crying hysterically. More than once I heard, “Mom this is the stupidest thing you have ever done.” After turning around I set at the stop sign in tears myself at this point.
Out of nowhere a man hopped up on my side of the truck and asked if we needed help. I had him tell me at least five times how to get back to I-95 and as he got down and started walking towards the back of the truck I watched in my side mirror as he disappeared in mid air. Whether you believe in angels or not, I know this was my angel!
It was very difficult driving this truck towing my car. I was constantly afraid that I was going to wipe my car out or back into someone else. One time when we were at a traffic light I asked my daughter to just put her hand out the window and motion people around us. Her comment to me was, “Mom he just gave me the finger.”
We had just gone over the Baltimore Bridge and there was a lot of road construction. I watched as the lights on the dash all started to dim. I did some fast navigating and got the truck and my car between the big construction barrels before it just died. It was 2:00 AM.
It wasn’t long and a state trooper stopped by to see if he could help. I asked him to please call U-Hall to let them know we had broker down. This trooper stopped back every hour to check on us. Being on the road for over 36 hours in July heat, and now it was raining I made sure that I stood a distance from his car to speak with him. I would’ve given anything for a shower at that point.
I finally went back to sit in my car with the dogs. At least they wouldn’t be disgruntled with me. In about an hour my daughter came back to tell me that one of the cats had gotten out. She’d put the window down too far. So I was walking through tall grass on the side of the road calling for the cat. I was so happy when I saw her little head popping above the grass meowing and running towards me.
U-Haul didn’t come out to help us until 9 AM. I was informed that the truck would have to be towed to their garage and they would put us up for the night. I discovered the hotel they booked for us did not take pets. I was told, “You can lock them up in our garage and put some food and water down for them.” NOT going to happen!!
I got on the phone and found a Holiday Inn that took pets. We had to take some stuff out of the car so we could fit in it to drive to the hotel. I got lost on the way. While stopping at a gas station to ask directions I heard the flutter of little wings go by my ear. Somersault the parakeet would now reside at the Merit station. To my amazement when we arrived at the Holiday Inn it was not one you drove up to your room. We proceeded to take 3 dogs, 2 cats, a parrot, litter box and suitcases through the lobby onto the elevator and up to our room. What a sight we must’ve been. It was so wonderful to get off the road and get a shower!!
The next day we were back on the road and on our way to Maine. Thank God nothing else happened. To the rhythm of the tires I kept praying and saying, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” His Word will never come back void.
We did have problems on the New Jersey Turnpike….they don’t allow trucks like we were in!! I had to turn around across 5 lanes of traffic and take US1 past New York City. One point we made the wrong turn and I ended up driving in New York City. A truck pulled up alongside of us with some Mexican guys. They said to us, “Perros, and made panting noises and told us they thought the dogs were going to die.” It was so hot. They did have water and the windows were down quite a bit, but I was very worried about them.
When we arrived in Maine there was a U-Haul truck off the road turned over. We were all very thankful to be safe.
I wish that I had been blessed with a business opportunity that I have now with the Crazy Foxes Marketing Group back then. I would’ve given anything to be able to work at home and be there for my daughters when they got home from school. Nowadays, your office is anywhere with internet marketing.
I hope that you have gotten a smile or two out of this writing. It just proves that God never gives us more than we can handle. And most important to remember is that He always is there to go through it with you!!
I am a 62 year old grandparent who recently retired. I want to take this opportunity to pass along some information and tips that I have learned over the past couple of years regarding online internet marketing businesses. If you currently have a home based business and are finding success working online …then I applaud you. Keep up the good work! With the economy like it is with layoffs and people being forced to retire you might be contemplating starting a home based business. If that is the case please read on.
The most important thing I have learned is NOT to believe everything you are told. Be sure to do your due diligence on a business before you leap into it. Make sure that you know how the program works. Be sure that you are going to have sincere support and training from your leaders. Get a feel for whether or not this is going to cost you a lot of money to work. If it is … RUN!! You would be surprised at the hidden costs of some internet marketing businesses. Take into consideration you might have advertising costs, costs for leads, etc.
I spent 2-1/2 years with online business and spent a lot of my retirement fund trying to make it work. I took the training, attended meetings, followed the instructions of my upline leaders, sent emails, newsletters, and phoned people around the world and worked some days as much at 16 hours. When all was said and done I was in debt and not making enough money to meet my expenses with this business. Hence the warning, “Know what you have in store.” I finally faced the fact that this program was not going to work and I quit.
I am here to say, I am so very thankful that I did not give up because of one bad experience. A friend introduced me to the Crazy Foxes Marketing Group. This is a group of like-minded people consisting of great knowledgeable leaders and other internet marketers that are working at becoming successful. This is a group of people with integrity, who are ethical, honest, positive and have a good work ethic. It is sad to say, but these qualities are not always easy to find with the businesses out there on the internet.
I have been in this group for about 5 months and I have learned so much more than I learned over the past 2-1/2 years. I was not a stranger to computers, but I have learned skills that were the farthest from my dreams. It is not true that “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.”The Crazy Foxes Marketing Group has awesome training and they direct you to programs that will help you become successful. And yes, there are many grandparents! They show you the correct, professional way to do things. I just can not say enough good things about the Crazy Foxes!! Please check them out and make your own decision after reading what you find there.
No matter what the product or service is that you are selling on the internet in the Crazy Foxes you will have access to the tools that will help you succeed.
This is just a short list of the programs/tools that I have learned about working with the Crazy Foxes. These tools are not just for grandparents that want to succeed at their home based business, but all internet marketers will find value in these.

If you are like me, as a grandparent you want to be able to spend quality time with your family. You have paid your dues in the work force! I love the fact that my schedule is flexible working online. I can pick and choose the hours I want to work or “play”. That is very important to me after working in the corporate world with set schedules. Whether it be watching my grandkids play Wii, or trying to learn some of the “moves”, or enjoying an awesome dinner my daughter has prepared, or just being with them….life can not get much better than that.
Having a home based business will also help you when it comes to paying your taxes to the IRS. An office at home allows you to take many deductions which translates to money in your pocket. I know personally that the stock market has taken a big chunk out of my retirement fund. I am grateful finding ways to make the money I do have go further. There are many publications available to give you the regulations on what you can, or can not deduct.
With the economy the way it is, I think we are going to see a lot more people thinking about home-based internet businesses.
Benefits abound in executing your business from your home:
• You can work from the comfort of your own home.
• You do not have the expense of gas for your car.
• Less maintenance expense for your car, tires, oil changes, etc. (and general wear and tear)
• An aspect sometimes missed you can also save on your auto insurance. Less commuting miles to work allows you a savings on your coverage.
• Money spent eating your lunch out with your co-workers. You not only save money by eating at home, but this allows you to live a healthier life. Plan your meals.
• How much are you currently spending on clothing, drycleaners, etc.? This will no longer be necessary. Just think, you can get up, grab a cup of coffee (don’t have the expense of your local coffee shop), and sit down in your office. You can even stay in your PJ’s all day, if you want to!
• A huge benefit…maintaining your office at home allows tax deductions. Be sure to check with IRS regulations and not take deductions you should not!!
• And one of the greatest benefits of a home-based business is that it allows you to spend more quality time with your family. It allows you to have a flexible schedule.
I recently retired after spending 45 plus years in the corporate world. I am working with an awesome group of internet marketers called the Crazy Foxes Marketing Group. There is 24/7 chat support and I have developed relationships with like-minded people. I have been involved with other internet businesses, but have NEVER learned as much as I have with the Crazy Foxes.
If you are going to establish a home-based internet marketing business, do your due diligence homework. There are a lot of scams coming down the pike. Even if a company states they have been in business for years, dig deeper. Find out exactly what the plan is that you will have to follow to become successful. Granted you are like the rest of us. More than likely you are going to make some mistakes in the learning process and spend more money than you thought would be required.
There are tremendous tools available to anyone who puts the required effort into their business and believe they can succeed. Be sure to attend available trainings and meetings. Be open to learn from others.

The Crazy Foxes Marketing Group not only leads the way to training, and learning the tools that will help us to become successful with our home-based internet business, but it also provides access to new business that are thought to be profitable. You are not obligated to join these businesses. However, you have the ability to expand your profile on the internet with new opportunities. These businesses are listed under “Programs” on the Crazy Foxes Marketing Group Website.
I wish you great success in whatever road you travel. Be sure to take advantage of the tools available to you. Research, consistence, perseverance and belief in yourself can bring you success.
Here we are blessed with another year. The question is are we truly going to end 2009 feeling that we have accomplished what we set out to do and have we been a blessing to others. I have found that when I help others and put them first I find myself on the receiving end more times than not.
In looking back at 2008 my saddest recollections were that I had not taken the one or two moments out of my busy schedule to go have a “that lunch” with a dear friend, or pursue insisting that I be able to visit another dear friend in the hospital. Both of those treasured friends are gone. I do hope they know that I truly loved them. I no longer pass up an opportunity to let people in my life know that I love them. Hold your family and friends close to your heart.
I am one of those people who set out with a determination to lose weight in the new year. When December 31st arrives I usually find myself wondering what went wrong. The excess pounds are still lingering! I must admit, it was I who went wrong. I didn’t set realistic goals and work the plan. I am so very excited this year to be part of a group of individuals in the Crazy Foxes Marketing Group. We are going to become the Crazy Foxes Biggest Losers! We will encourage each other and that makes a big difference. We have established a blog sharing recipes, tools and tips.
The Biggest Loser program on TV is a great inspiration to me. The segment that just aired in January, 2009 especially hit me hard. If a person is overweight and does nothing about it they will not only encounter painful health problems, live a lesser quality of life, be unable to enjoy activities with their family, but they also face the possibility of not living to be part of their family’s milestones. A parent not at a wedding, or a grandparent missing the blessings of watching their grandchildren grow. That gives me new determination.
If the Crazy Foxes can encourage you, or help you in any way, please let me know. This is the year that we can get healthy. Remember it is not a “diet”. It is a lifestyle change. One of my favorite sayings this year is, “It isn’t what you do between Christmas and New Years, but what you do between New Years and Christmas. That applies not only to your health but also your other goals.
With regard to your success in your business, what are your goals? No goals set usually leads to nothing achieved. You need to plan your work and work your plan. As with weight loss, if you haven’t put in writing where you want to go and what you want to achieve this year, there is a good chance you will end up on December 31st thinking, “What have I actually accomplished this year.” I have done that and for that reason I know how important it is to put your goals and plans into writing. Post it where you see it every day. As you accomplish your goals along the way it will serve as an encouragement.
In setting goals be realistic. After you have decided what you are going to accomplish this year break those goals down into semi-annual and quarterly increments. Take that one step further and break those down into monthly and weekly goals. This way it will not be so overwhelming to achieve.
There are so many dynamic social networking services out there. It doesn’t matter if you are involved with internet marketing or the corporate work place. I recently was introduced to Twitter. There is a plethora of tips, tools, relationships, and just downright great communication on Twitter. It is awesome to feel the attitude of helpfulness amongst the members. You will be able to expand your knowledge on many issues. It is another tool on the internet that makes the world a much smaller place! It is a good feeling too when you come across a person who is in need and reach out to help.
So as 2009 proceeds I wish you much success, “Aha “moments of joy, heartwarming experiences with your family and friends, and the knowledge that you are truly loved by friends, family and God. Be sure to share your love with others (even strangers that pass through your life).
