My Visit to Wall Street - Manhattan

After the hectic time of releasing my eBook on 'How To Turn Your Debt Into A Fantastic New Life', I flew to America. Manhattan in New York city was the first stop on my visit to USA.

Visiting Wall Street was a dream come true. Having seen the photographs in books and magazines since I was a small child, to eventually be standing in the middle of all the magnificent streets, gave me a feeling of great satisfaction and achievement.

The New York Stock Exchange building was another place I wanted to see, as well as 5th Avenue, Central Park, the Brooklyn Bridge and many other places. But there was not enough time to take it all in, in just seven days - which means another trip has to be ear marked!

To think that I had lost my own home, business and all financial security in the last recession and here I was standing in awe of the tremendous financial institutions?

Outside the Stock Exchange Entrance - Note the sign to Wall Street!

I met some of the most amazing women in Manhattan. Women who were so generous in sharing their live experiences with me. Women, I will never forget! Who knows, I might even write about them!

It was incredible to think that just days before, I was living on 3 to 4 hours sleep with putting the finishing touches together on my eBook about debt.

I was using new software and one thing after another kept going wrong but I took solace in the fact that it happens to nearly everyone as they put the finishing touches to a product launch. When you are in the throws of the pressure of time restraints, technical problems and sleep deprivation, you have no alternative after travelling down such a long road than to just get it out there and make changes later, if you have to.

The feedback has been excellent and all I have to do now is to promote it.

Do help yourself to the free report at http://www.debts-challenge.com/ or if you want to go direct to the salespage it's www.debts-challenge.com/NewLife - at the moment, you will find it for $7.

$7 is a price everyone can afford and that was my reason for pricing it so low. The more people who can get out of debt, the better.

My Internet Marketing Mistakes Cost Me Dearly

If only I had known what I was doing when I started online but instead, my internet marketing mistakes cost me dearly financially, in lack of sales. It also cost me dearly in lost valuable time. Time, which was gone forever!

However, in defence of myself, I have to admit that I find it incredible to think that many of my internet marketing mistakes are still being made daily, by thousands of people around the world.

Even though others have successfully been making a living online since the 1990's, new people coming onboard are still being enticed into buying packages which are not relevant to their needs.

For many people working online, they don't actually know what their needs are, let alone understand the internet marketing terminology and therefore buy into several products which just sinks them into massive debt.

My internet marketing mistakes included...
1 Buying products which were too advanced for my knowledge base at the time
2 Joining expensive membership sites which were, again, too advanced for me.
3 Buying programs which involved buying into more hosting, which I did not need.
4 Filling up my hardrive with 'must have' programs, many of which I did not open.
5 Holding myself back because of the fear of not being able to complete a task.

One of my very first mistakes online was buying into an ecommerce store to sell my own products, which, I might add, sold successfully offline, internationally.

If promoting a product online, is a route you want to go down, then, by going to the following site, you will find details of a less expensive way of doing this and generating sales almost immediately. You will also find many other ways that you can protect your purse and, at the same time, keep out of debt. www.myinternetmarketingmistakes.com

The Chicken Nugget Story And Debt

Can you imagine how a person would feel when they have to retire, after running their own business for many years, on just a measly pension?

This is exactly what happened to Colonel Harland Saunders, the Kentucky Fried Chicken guy who, at the ago of sixty, had no alternative but to sell out his business to make way for a new roadway.

After a period of living on his small pension, he decided that he was not going to accept his standard of living in pension poverty anymore and determined that he had to do something.

The idea came to him to sell his unique chicken recipes to other restaurateurs.

With this in mind, he set about approaching them and travelled all over America. He even slept in his car for many of the nights. He called on restaurateurs, day after day, explaining how his recipe would be advantageous for their businesses. But day after day, he was seen off their premises.

He never gave up and called on 1,009 doors throughout America before his offer was accepted.

What perseverance that man had to follow his dream? How many people would have given up after 3 or 4? But he went on and on until he got his Yes!

One of the reasons why I wrote my eBook on debt was because of my own debt. This happened, due to purchasing a retail business just one year before the last recession started. Our business of leather goods and gifts were not the sort of products which people needed in a recession. Expensive leather wallets and briefcases were eventually replaced by cheaper products but still it was impossible to trade successfully, when most of the customers in the locality were struggling with the recession themselves.

After many changes of the types of products we sold and also many burglaries to contend with, the doors were finally closed, at an enormous financial loss. The keys were handed in and the premises left empty. I drove away from there, knowing it would be a long time before I entered that location again.

Returning to college, I retrained and eventually landing up in a career motivating people on starting their own business, I always included the story of Colonel Saunders.

The story of his success was one I very much admired. The students loved to learn of his tenacity and determination.

Some years later, on my last visit to London, I did a detour down memory lane. This was the first time I had ventured back into the area where we had our retail business, as all recollections of it, the consequences of the recession and the financial burden of the closure had purposefully been erased from my mind. As I drove to the location where our retail business had previously been, memories of our debts challenge flooded back but I was happy to see that the new owners were running a very successful business.

There were many customers inside the bright, yet clean, premises.

It was very strange for me to notice, as I looked up at the shop sign, that it was in fact now owned by the Kentucky Fried Chicken chain.
