How can you get a quality assistant and pay nothing for them…

Posted by Marshall on October 14, 2010

As entrepreneurs and small business owners, we often have many more things on our plate than we can handle.
I’m sure you have said to yourself, “If I just had an assistant that could take care of THIS”.

In fact, you may have even taken on some employees or have a virtual assistant. You probably still have things that are not getting done.
Important, but not critical tasks. Things that you know would help grow your business but you just don’t have the time to get them done.

You’ve probably debated if it would be worth it to bring on another employee or contract out the work but you might not want to go to the expense.

See, this is where we have all forgotten about something big businesses know and take advantage of.

What if you could take on an extra employee or two but not have to pay them?

That’s right, what if you could get a free employee?

Go check out this video to see how you can get your very own free employee.
No, this is not some scam and it’s not some new government program.
Take a look at what my friend Justin and his wife are doing in their business.

I’ll admit, when Justin first told me about this, I was thinking no way this is working.  I thought he must be hiring virtual assistants from overseas.  (You can get some good ones but they still cost money. )

These are Free Employees.

It’s like virtual assistants on Steroids.

Justin said that it definitely was not outsourcing to overseas firms.  He told me that these are smart, well educated folks that…

well, just go watch the video, he will tell you all about how to get your very own free employee and why they will be more than happy to work for you…

Are We Missing The Point With All of The Banks?

Posted by Marshall on October 8, 2010

Today, Bank Of America announced they were putting a Halt To ALL Foreclosures in ALL 50 states.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-10-08/bank-of-america-extends-freeze-on-foreclosures-to-all-50-states.html

This is incredible.  I sense another bailout request rearing its ugly head due to this situation they have put themselves in.
It seems to me the only banks that aren’t worried about this potentially illegal or fraudulent foreclosure filings are the smaller community banks… you know, the one’s that don’t have any of our TARP money and are WAY more likely to be shut down by the bank regulators.  This is just one more reason we should not be propping up the “Too Big To Fail” banks.  They have no clue what is going on in their own organization.  How could any outside regulator possibly understand the complexities in these giant banks.  I think they are all wrought with fraud and illegal procedures that the public may never hear about.  I say “Bring them back down to a sensible size.”

We should be promoting more community banks, not less of them.

I recently wrote an article about this very topic right here on my blog.

The only reason the smaller banks are getting shut down every Friday is because no one helped them out with TARP money.  If they were able to get access to some “FREE” money just like BAC, PNC, ALLY/GMAC, and 5/3rd. etc., we wouldn’t already have 129 failed banking institutions in 2010.

Wow! FDIC off to a strong start this Friday

Posted by Marshall on April 30, 2010

This is a follow-up to yesterday’s post.

I mentioned we would likely be at 60 failed banks before the end of today.

Well, it’s 5:10 as I write this and we are already there.

Three banks in Puerto Rico were closed by the FDIC today right out of the gate.

Who wants to wager on the total before the day is out?

Listen, I take no pleasure in the demise of our banks.
I merely write this to bring us all back to reality.

The economy may be “Turning the corner”, but we still have MAJOR problems

in our banking industry and lending environment.

What can you do to help the situation?

Browse around on my site… look at yesterday’s post

Real Opportunities are in Commercial Real Estate Investing and Lending Right now.

Stocks surging, what do you think? Is it another bubble?

Posted by Marshall on March 22, 2010

I just finished reading an article on Bloomberg.com that left me scratching my head.

I guess I’m a little more bearish on the overall economy and I think stocks have risen way too fast.

Of course, for folks that have much of their retirement tied up in the stock market, this is wonderful news.  If I were them, I would definitely be pulling some of my money out of the stock market and putting it into some hard assets.  That’s just me though.  Do I think gold is a good answer for these people?  Well, this is another area that I think is “Bubble like”.

To be fair, I am not an economist by any stretch of the imagination.  However, I was forced into taking several semesters of Economics, including a course on Money and Banking.  WOW!!!  Now that one will really hold your interest when you are a young 20 something!!  Woo Hoo!  ;-)

Here is the article I was reading.

====>  Bloomberg Article

I hope that we truly are going to just pick things back up.  I know that the overall job scene could really use some good news.  I will believe it when I see the orders coming in for heavy equipment.

I still have to wonder though, will the continuing foreclosure problems and commercial real estate troubles further slow down recovery later in the year?

What do you think?
