Going Over To Friends For Wine And Cheese

August 12th, 2008

Now before you get the wrong idea, I’m
not a fancy schmancy snob guy. I just
happen to like hanging out with friends
and having a bit of the grape juice now
and then.

A couple days ago we bump into some
of our neighbors…very cool people. A music
professor and his wife and their daughter.

We have talked about getting together to
have a little wine sometime but ya know that
word “sometime.” It’s kinda like “someday.”
There is no such thing….the sometime and
the someday never come around do they.

So I decided to just go ahead and set a
definite time. We asked them what day
would be good…Saturday, Sunday, Monday,
Tuesday?

Well we nailed down a good day for them.
The thing is, any of those days would have
been good for me and the lady friend. We have
things we do each day but we are pretty wide
open because we don’t have to get up
super early and go to jobs.

We have a schedule..but it’s OUR schedule
not someone else’s schedule that we gotta
work around…like not being free from
about 9am to 5pm Monday through Friday
for example.

Again, I’m not putting down anyone with a
job. I’m just here to get you to crack open
your brain and start thinking of different ways
to generate income.

See it’s not even about having a huge income.
It’s more about having a certain lifestyle. I mean
would you sacrifice a third of your salary if you
didn’t have to work 40 hours a week?

Could you live on less? Could you generate munny
passively? While you slept? Or traveled? Or
sat around with friends and sipped wine?

I’m just getting you to think in a new way is all.

I can guarantee you that while I am sipping wine
and talking about music with my neighbors this
evening I will be making munny on eBay.

Just something to ponder.

Find out how to do what I do. Skip over the
10 year learning curve that I had to go through.
Shortcut right to the exact best way to make
munny on eBay. Learn what sells and what
doesn’t. Learn WHERE to find the stuff to
sell for the fastest and best pro/fit.

I spill my guts in my Concealed Cash Course
and tell you exactly how it’s done.

Head on over to http://www.concealedcash.com/
and start making extra money…in a passive
way, in a short time, and for the rest of your
life….the internet is only gonna get bigger, baby.

Until next time. Make money while you sleep.

It’s The Luckiest Day in 1000 Years

August 10th, 2008

Yep, it’s true. 08-08-08 is a lucky day.
Especially in many parts of Asia where
the number 8 is kinda like the number 7
for those of us in the West.

It is no coincidence that the Beijeng
Olympics begin today.

So what is it about luck? Is there such
a thing?

I would say no, not really. You make
your own luck in my opinion–both
bad and good.

On the other hand I would say there is
such a thing as “pure luck” and you
really only see that in one instance.

Pure luck is when you gamble and
it actually works out. When you hit the lottery
or roll the dice and it comes up 7’s or
if the slot machine has 3 cherries.

If that actually happens that is pure
luck. Because you had no influence
over the outcome.

Otherwise, luck is up to you. If you think
you will have a bad month, then guess
what? Events will line up to prove you
right.

If you THINK you’re lucky then you probably
will be. Things will just go your way.

The best definition of luck I’ve ever heard
is “preparation meeting opportunity”

Look at it this way. If someone studied
piano for 15 years, and was playing
at a little club and was overheard by a big
record executive and got a contract
for a ton of munny, there would be
a lot of people who said he got a
“lucky break.”

Mmmmm…not really. That person
was prepared when an opportunity met
him. But people usually look at that
as luck, because they didn’t see all
the hard work that went into the
preparation when the awesome
opportunity met him.

On the other hand, if a musically
untalented person who never studied music
was just walking down the street one
day, saw that record exec and got a
huge record contract,out of the blue
THAT would be luck. And highly
unlikely.

A lot of people say I’m lucky because
I have figured out a way to make a full
time living doing part time work.

But am I unlucky because I have CF
and am not able to work full time?

Both are correct depending how you
want to look at it. I choose to believe
I am really really lucky. But again,
I am making my own luck.

I believe I am so I am. I have worked
hard figuring out a way to make eBay
work.

And because I prepared myself to figure
out how to make munny without working
hard in a job I hate I was open to seeing
new ways of doing things

So when I discovered eBay all those years
ago I was ready to seize that opportunity.

I was lucky to have found it, some people
have said

I would contend that it was lucky, but by my
own definition.–I was prepared by my
circumstances to see a new way of making
munny and when the opportunity of eBay
presented itself I was ready for it.

So in that respect I was “lucky” to find it.

And pass what I have found on to others.

So I hope you are having a lucky
today on 08-08-08 and be sure to
check out my Concealed Cas/h Course.
so you can discover how to add some
extra munny in your life.

Adult Diapers All Over The Freeway

August 10th, 2008

Oh yes, You read that right. Today in Houston
an 18 wheeler overturned and spilled some
diapers all over the freeway.

I will refrain from making “leaks and spills
jokes.”

Anyway, this happened around lunchtime
at one of the busiest freeway intersections
in Houston, I-10 and 610. Probably one of
the 10 busiest freeway intersections in the US
and not too far from my house.

The traffic was backed up for a couple hours
and it made me glad I wasn’t an office drone
anymore. I know what the routine is like because
I used to do it too.

Out at 8am fighting traffic to go to a
job I hate, then out from 12-1 to get lunch at
Quizno’s or whatever lame place “the group”
has decided on, then back on the road at 5pm
to sit in traffic, just so I can relax a couple
hours and go to bed and get up and do it all
over again.

Nope. Not for me anymore.

Today I got up unusually early for me but I
waited til 930 to go out and start my errands,
Then to the coffee shop for a long spell and
to list a few things.

And back home before 3:30 to avoid traffic.
Yes Houston’s 5 o’clock traffic actually starts
at about 3:45…3:00 on Fridays.

Lame.

So the best way to avoid all that drudgery
is to figure out a different way to make a
living. And the best way is to do it, not with
one, but several, streams of income.

One of the easiest, fastest and smartest
ways to add another stream of income is
with eBay. And it’s what I show people how
to do. I’m not saying quit your job today. I’m
not saying don’t pursue other streams.

http://www.concealedcash.com/

What I am saying is you can work a couple
hours a week and add at least $200 to your
income stream in that weak…up to $800 a
month without much effort.

Remember when I said you can work less and
make more. Well this is what I’m talking about.
The couple hours a week will result in some
pretty good income if you use eBay.

See, it’s all about the 80-20 rule. 80 percent
of your income comes from 20 percent of your
work.

So the key to making more and doing less is
to [eventually] get rid of that 80 percent of time
wasted…like driving to and from work, useless
meetings, etc. And maybe work for yourself some.

Make that 20 percent of munny making time get
bigger and bigger.

Ok. More on this subject tomorrow.

Munny And My Lung Functions

August 10th, 2008

Ok. Today I am going to go off
topic a bit to make a point to you.

I got a great email today from someone
after my own heart. Or maybe I should
say, after my own lung.

Anne emailed me today to say this:

“Hi Tim–

I am on your list and hope someday to find
the time to develop an eBay business. My
hurdle has been that I just don’t have the slightest
idea about what to sell. My interests in life are not
really materialistic. But I found your recent message
quite interesting on several levels…

All the best, Anne.”

Anne talked some more about Cystic Fibrosis
related stuff…turns out she has worked on
clinical trials of a couple of the drugs that
have made my life better.

I would love nothing more than to return the
favor and make her life better.

So on to me dissecting this email and making
some points about munny,

First off, let me just say there is no such
day as someday, Anne. That day never comes.
Best just to start TODAY and correct your
mistakes as you go. I’m sure you’ve heard
the saying “ready, fire, aim.”

It just means pull the trigger on
whatever it is you want to do and you will
correct the course as you move forward.

Getting started on eBay part time is the only
way to go. I would never suggest just quitting
your job and jumping into it full time.
That would be insane

The good news is you can skip over all the
mistakes I have made in the last 10 years.

My Concealed Cash Course is broken up
into 3 parts. What, Where and How.

http://www.concealedcash.com/

I tell you What to look for, Where to find
it and How to list it. Pretty straight forward.

Now to get a bit rough. Follow me on
this because when I talk about it with
some people they zone out or get mad at
me.

When you say “My interests in life are not
really materialistic” I hear you saying that
munny is not important. Or maybe you are
saying that munny is evil or that it is
difficult to make so therefore you don’t
want to focus on it.

None of those things are true. Munny is
indeed important. If the important things
you find in life don’t involve munny I would
love to know what they are.

I often hear stuff like this from people
in the medical field (my mom included)
who are very big hearted and altruistic.

They think that helping people and
making munny are mutually exclusive.
Not true. The best thing you can do with
munny is help other people. How much
more good could you do if you could
afford to give away $100,000 a year
to the charities or causes you believe in?
There aren’t enough hours in the year to
volunteer or work to make that kind of impact.

Which brings me to my second point..the whole
ridiculous “munny is evil” argument. See,
munny is neutral. A 20 doll.ar bill can
be used to buy crack cocaine or it can
be used to buy a meal or clothes for someone
in need.

The 20 dolla.r bill is neither good nor bad. it
is the user who makes the decision.

And last the whole munny is difficult to
make way of thinking. In yesterday’s email
I pointed out that the less I work the more
I make. And it is true for a lot of people
I have met in the last three years. I
have been associating more with people
I want to emulate.

Boy people hate to hear that work and munny
aren’t really related but it’s true. Trading hours
for dolla/rs is the least efficient way to make munny.

But there is a trick to it.

More on that tomorrow.

Until next time. Make munny while you sleep

I Used To Steal Toilet paper From Work

August 10th, 2008

Yep. What you just read is true.
That is how broke I was. And I was
working at a full time job!
Back in the early 90s I had a job
doing data entry at a company
that serviced oil & gas firms here in
Houston.

I would get up at the crack of dawn,
take a bus to work…an hour and 20
minutes each way. And then sit at
a computer and type in info related to
oil well logs. Awesome stuff.

Looking back on it, the weird thing is
that this is probably the most I ever
worked but the brokest I’ve ever been.
I slept terribly, got up at 5am everyday
and made no munny at all.

And it started to seriously wear on my
health, As you may know I have Cystic Fibrosis
and not being able to sleep or do my
breathing treatments when I need to
is not good for me.

Back then I tossed in the hospital every
4 or 5 months for a “tune up” as it is
called in the CF world.

And yes, I really did toss a roll or two of
TP in my bag to take home.

It occurred to me that work and munny
are not necessarily related. I finally
got canned because I missed too much
work. And a few years after that I
discovered eBay. And thank God for
that.

I make waaay more than I ever did at
my lousy day job. And I get to sleep
in and take care of myself whenever I
need to.

I make munny just farting around
in my day to day activities. Like grabbing
lunch or going to Target– I just pop in
to a few prime places while I’m out and
about, pick up some primo stuff
to sell and put it on eBay later that day.

The stuff that is good to sell is always
around. Heck, I’ve been doing it for 10
years now. And I’ve been teaching others
how to do it for over a year.

And the best part is the people who
get my course are fast-tracked to success.
There is no trial and error for my students.
I did all that stuff already so you don’t
have to.

And believe me, with 10 years and 16,000+
feedback I have done and seen it all on
eBay.

Do the smart thing, Pick up my course
now.

easy second income or simply just hate your
job and wanna do something else, you gotta

The Chicken Littles Of The World

August 10th, 2008

Well it’s true. There are a lot of
Chicken Littles in the world.

And no I don’t mean tons of copies
of that awful Disney DVD of the same
name that was made a couple years ago.

Ugh.

See, I got up early today and was
reading some news online. I don’t know why
I got up so early because I usually don’t.

Ah well. The point is this–the article I read said
the economy grew almost 2 percent from
April through June. Not nearly the free fall
that the Media constantly goes on about.

And certainly not what you hear from the
Chicken Littles.

People are just freaking out. It’s an election
year and this always happens in election
years. Anybody remember that garbage
from 2004? “Worst economy since Hoover
and the Great Depression.”

No? I didn’t think so.

And man are there a lot of Chicken Littles,
I had someone tell me in no uncertain terms
that I should be happy to have any sales at
all “in this economy.”

Now look. I am grateful to those people
wise enough to do something about their
situation and get my course.

http://www.concealedcash.com/

But keep in mind that I provide a valuable
service to them as well. I am showing you
how to increase your income week after
week for as long as you care to do it.

And it’s immediate. And it’s easy to do.

Simple as that. But this woman’s language
has that fear and panic underlining it.

“This economy.” Yea, right. How exactly has
your life changed? Sure gas has gone up
but everything goes up. Everything.
Most people don’t know what “truly
bad” is. Only “truly a bit inconvenient and
not what I’m used to.”

And what have you done to improve it?
Other than whine? See whining is easy
but it doesn’t get you anywhere, I used
to whine about everything the first 25
years I was alive

But you either solve problems or complain
about them.Everyone has them. So why
whine? Just do something to solve the
problem.

The biggest thing that stands in the way
is leaving your comfort zone and doing
something new. But that’s usually what
ya gotta do to solve the problem.

It’s that or stay in the comfort zoner and
complain

Don’t be a whiner. Be a problem solve.

Warning! You May Not Want To Read This One

August 10th, 2008

Well it’s come to this. I usually refrain
from these types of emails but every
once in a while I gotta write one of these.

Today I will be telling you the 3 things
that people hate to hear. And this is in
response to a couple of emails I’ve
gotten in the last 2 days.

Suffice to say they have been a bit
whiney in nature. And I’m cool with
that to a point. But seriously, I am
probably not the best person to come
to when you wanna gripe.

I was born with a genetic disease, my
family was not wealthy and I didn’t finish
college. I know what it’s like to have some
supposed “disadvantages.”

So here are the 3 things no one wants
to hear.

1—Your past is irrelevant

2– No one want to hear about your problems
but you

3– You are the only one who can make a change.

Yikes, right? But it’s true. The reality is when you
focus on the past you are not living in the present.

Beating yourself up for an injury or a lost job or
30 years of smoking is not going to help you have
a better today and a better tomorrow. Better to
think about what you CAN do right now to start
feeling better.

That’s the first point.

the second point is also true. No one really cares
about your problems. No one wants to hear it.
Because frankly we all have problems. I mean you
wouldn’t want to read an email of my problems would
you? In all honesty you’d say to yourself “Hey I
got my own stuff to think about….no need to
add to my worries.”

Well that’s exactly what everyone else does when you
talk about your problems. At best they lend you a
sympathetic ear…after all misery loves company.
At worst the other person will just tune you out.

And the third point is the one people really hate
to hear. But I’m afraid it’s true. Only YOU can do
something to improve your life. That’s it.

Man people hate that, And why? Because it is
SO much easier to place blame on someone
else. That is so much easier than taking a
step to improve your health or happiness or
financial security isn’t it?

The reality is you really can’t control outside
circumstances. All you can really control is
how you react to them.

So what will you do? Flip out or get angry or
blame the world? It’s the easy way out. Heck I
did it for 25 years.

Or are you going to do something to help yourself?

I hope after some consideration you will make
the second choice.

And when you do consider a fast, effective and
safe way to help yourself IMMEDIATELY.

It’s my Concealed Cash Course. In it,
I show you EXACTLY what you can do to
start making extra income the day
you receive it.

eBay Consultant To The Rich and Famous

August 10th, 2008

So I just got off the phone with
a good friend of mine in Dayton Ohio.
He is a pretty awesome Real Estate
investor up there. In fact he and
I are working on a How to Sell
Real Estate on eBay course.

You probably won’t ever see it on
my site since it is a specialized
type of thing. I think we’ll probably
just market it to people already into
Real Estate.

But the point is you can sell
ANYTHING on eBay. No matter what
it is. There is a certain psychology
to it and you must know it before you
delve into it. So that is why he
approached me for this course.

He knows I’ve been buying and
selling on eBay for over 10 years.
Frankly there aren’t that many of
us out there with that much experience.

Heck eBay has only been around since
1995….and I started buying on there
in 1997.

Anyhoooo. On to the brush with fame.
My buddy is hanging out with some
friends this afternoon because it’s his
birthday. I call him up to wish him well
and he tells me they were just talking
about me.

He wants to know if I’ll talk to one of
his friends about selling some stuff
on eBay. Sure, I says…that’s what I do.

So he hands the phone off to a really
nice guy named Chuck. We talk for a bit
and I give him a few tips. I tell him to
call me anytime.

So my buddy gets back on and says
that Chuck is actually Chuck Lowe.
The father of actors Rob and Chad
Lowe. How about that?

Kinda cool I thought. Maybe I’ll end
up selling some Hollywood memoribilia
on eBay.

The point is, that people know where to
go to get the real info on eBay. And my
buddy knows I know more about it than
just about anyone.

The good news is you don’t need to
be related to the rich and famous to
find out what I know.

You can jump on right now and discover
all of my secrets. And the secrets apply
to just about anything. Heck I sold my
last truck on eBay.

But you don’t need to sell that kind of
stuff to start making extra munny right
away. You are literally surrounded by things
that will bring in the extra ca.sh.

And it’s not what you think.

Discover what I already know.
And skip over the 10 years of
trials and errors that I had to
endure.

http://www.concealedcash.com

The price on this will be going up.
I have 14 left at the current price
and it’s sure to go up after that.

I’m talking real soon. Demand
is just too high with the economy
tanking and gas and food rising…
A ton of people are looking for ways to
make extra buxx.

Just Saw The New Batman–Again

August 10th, 2008

Well I just got back
home from seeing The Dark Knight
for the second time.

Don’t worry, I don’t have any spoilers
for those of you who are gonna see
this film.

And judging by what I’ve read it’s
gonna be a lot of you…This thing is
selling out all over.

Anyway, I was not disappointed with
this flick at all. It was really well
done…now keep in mind it is super
dark….grim, gritty.

This aint the 80’s or 90s Batman or heaven
forbid the 60s Batman. Now before I
get a ton of hatemail..I have nothing
against Adam West and that era’s Batman,

I just like the Dark Knight to be…well
Dark. Camp isn’t my thing.

So the big question is how was Heath Ledger?
Well, he pulled off the Joker perfectly.
He played a psychotic to a tee. And the Joker
is supposed to be a relentless psycho…not
some guy in tights prancing around playing
“jokes” on people.

Nope, this Joker is nuts. Remorseless and
cruel. And the late Mr Ledger
pulled it off. I was actually sad watching
the movie. The kid died too soon.

We originally saw it yesterday for the
first showing of the morning.
The crowds were much smaller and it was
nice to be able to check it out without
the annoying teenagers.

And that’s just one more great aspect
of not having a regular “job”
I can go catch a flick anytime.

I asked a lot of my friends if
they wanted to join me…and you
can guess the response. “No way, dude,
I can’t miss work.”

I said “Well so what? Just take the day off.
You hate that job anyway…Just call
in and make it a 3 day weekend.”

You can imagine how well that went
over. “Ohhh I just couldn’t possibly
leave my job….not even for one day.”

“What’ll happen?” I asked

Well the answer is nothing. The place
you work would continue to function if
you didn’t show up. I promise. No business
in the history of America has ever come
to a screeching halt because one person
didn’t show up.

Ever.

Unless of course you work
for yourself. Then you can choose to
make it come to a halt. Or not. What
if you made munny while you slept?
Or watched a movie?

It’s what I do and it’s what I
show others how to do. Step by step.

And I’m lazy…believe me. But I
make more munny goofing off than
my friends do at jobs they despise.

Discover what I already know.
And skip over the 10 years of
trials and errors that I had to
endure.

Crying For 8 Hours

August 10th, 2008

So I was at Target today, I swear
I go to that store like 5 days a
week. Anybody else do that?

Anyway, I’m standing in line to get
a hot dog at their little cafeteria
area and ahead of me is one of the
Target Team Members as they are called.

She is talking with the lady working
the hot dog area and they are talking
about their work shifts for that day.

The hot dog lady was just about to get
off but the lady buying a coke was just
relaxing before she had to go on.

She said “I’ll be relaxing for 15 minutes
then crying for 8 hours.”

I used to know what that was like too.
Before I developed the Concealed Cash
Course (www.ConcealedCash.com)
I worked retail for about a decade myself
and I used to “cry ” the whole time too.

Anyway, after the hot dog I headed out
to find some stuff to sell.

I came home and did a Buy It Now auction
for one little thing I paid 4 bucks for.
It sold about four hours later for $45.

Not a bad little profit for about 10
minutes of “work.” I made 40 bucks for
doing nothing and the lady at Target
probably worked at least 4 hours to
make the same amount, if not even longer.

I’m not putting her down. I used to do
it like I said. I just learned a better
way to make munny.

And you can learn what I already know.
Head on over to www.ConcealedCash.com
and grab the course.

Until next time. Make money while you sleep.
