small biz idea #1

As you all know, or soon will realize, I am a very strong advocate for having multiple streams of income. I believe the *get a good job bullsh*t ) is one of the worse tricks played on the American public. anyone with half an eye can see that there is nothing so volatile as the job sector. Daily lay offs, downsizing, unjustified firings and the like, are too common for words. People please whatever you do, have income streams in place that will enable you to be free from the chains of an unpredictable and precarious job market.
I know so many families who thought they were secure because one or both parents had a *good job* I use that term derisively, for I feel the words good-and-job do not go together. Anyway, as I was saying, protect yourself and your children. Do not believe the garbage about social security, pension plans, and the like. Plan as if those things do not exist because for any number of reasons they can become non-accessable.

I will be giving tips and advice on generating multiple streams of income because I want you all to have a good life. Which for me, means LOVE, FAMILY AND MONEY. As I was saying on zabeth's blog you cannot even get into the hospital without money! Yes they will admit you, then stabilize you, and get rid of you. People no matter what anyone has told you, it is almost impossible to have a good life without MONEY! And if you are one of those people who's motto is "money don't buy happiness" All I can say is "honey try poverty -see how much happiness that buys!" That being said, lets get on with it.

Wealth idea #1
If you have a large house and some time on your hands or want to stay home with the kids, this might work for you. Did you know that in most states you can have 2 senior citizens in your home without a license (most, check your state) It works like this: you know that most seniors do not want to be in a nursing home. You can board up to 2 and charge up to 1000.00 per. month each! You simply provide a warm home environment and feed and treat them like a family member. Most seniors would love to get into a family home rather than a nursing home. You may be required to take a first aid class. You can call your local Social Services to find out how to get set up. Once you pass your class, advertise in the paper under senior care or situations wanted. You can also register with your dept of Social Services and get people referred to you provided, you treat them well. With this idea, you will have a list of people who would love to get in your house, and you can simply place them on a waiting list. I know of one person who bought a duplex and cares for 4 people in one apartment, she and her child live in the other. She charges 1150.00 per month each and This enables her to pay all of her bills + have plenty of spending money without going to work! She is very happy the oldsters are very happy and it is a good situation. If you feel that you do not have the temperament to be bothered with making a few meals or making sure people take their meds-then please look elsewhere, for these people deserve *good homes* .

Wealth idea #2
I very much keep my eyes open when it comes to finding out about MWS (Multiple Wealth Streams) and I happened upon this one last summer. My car broke down, and my sister told me about a guy who would come to you and fix minor problems. I called the number she gave me and he met me there about 4 hours later (he is very, very busy) It was a problem with my hoses and he charged me about the same price as the mechanics in the garbage, but I was delighted because I saved about 120-150 in towing fees! If you know an out of work mechanic or few, you can set this business up (You can always find some using papers, fliers, signs etc.) You find some mechanics who need more work, and you refer them to people, using a cell phone. All calls go through you, so you can mark down the jobs. You simply send the mechanics out and split 50/50 or whatever you agree on. Just remember that he would not get the jobs without you, so don't go less than 1/3. You can easily make 1000.00 per month /per mechanic. To increase your income simply advertise more. Pick a catchy name like *The rolling mechanics* or something similar. Make sure you do check your mechanic's references and that they are free of criminal activity. The last thing you want is for some poor family/female to be struck on the road with a criminal, who is working for you! You can easily have a background check done and make them pay for it. Most people will do anything to avoid having to take charge of their own lives. In others words if you make it seem like they work for you, instead themselves, they will happily comply with whatever your rules and stipulations are. Incorporate as soon as you can. it is only a few hundred dollars and well worth it. You do not want to use a DBA when you have others working for you, as too many things can happen and you could be held liable. Only use a DBA when you are the one doing the work.

I'm loving this blog!

And to tell you the truth...I'm really feeling idea #1. I work in nursing homes as an aide but now as a nurse. I always saw some patients/residents that really didn't need to be there, or wanted to be there. So I will be following up on this blog a lot for other money-making opportunities. Thank you!

Taylor-sara please keep this going. You've got me so excited and hopeful for myself. Do you have any more ideas for self marketing? If my skill is editing, writing, etc. how would I market myself? Which kind of venues and which specific skills would claim..web content editing? business plan and report editing, I suppose it'd be best to find business oriented mediums if the last option was one I settled on.

College campuses could be a viable advertisement.

Also, do you know of any places where people can bargain there way into being taught certain trades/ skills?

I really wanted to ask someone, ANYONE, the following- how do I make my blog appear in the search engines? Or, any site that I own for that matter..is it simply a matter of finding the a web host and paying the fee or is there some technical way to get around that? I have some interests that I would like to market via internet advertising for other business owners..my profit being a percentage of earnings generated from people who were led to the service or product through my site. Amazon.com is big leager in this type of arrangement, but I also think that small business owners could stand to increase their business by being marketed this way. And, wouldn't you know..I am happy to help..lol

yes interracial marriages do work, been happily married for 3 years. We met on InterracialFriends.com. It is a good one to meet interracial love. Its all about the two people getting married. Just like every marriage, you need love, commitment and respect. You need to forget about how others (family, friends and society) precieves you because you are an interracial couple and how will you raise your children. Just be good parents, and love you kids that is all that matters.

I am in an interracial relationship with a guy outside of my race. oh... guys, you can not image what I have met. I am a black cuttie and I just met my love half year ago and we will get married next month, and interracial love of course. Am I lucky? So lucky I think, and I wanna share my happiness with all of you here.

By the way, I found my half part baby on a great interracialchats site.He is really gorgeous, even sometimes he is a little shy. -:) If you try, you also can be the next lucky one. LOL. Bye!! and good luck to you all.

Thanks Taylor-Sara for always having an insightful and informative blog. I totally agree with you on having another source of income other than work, I don't believe in Social Security and Pensions either and I thought it has been said, when my generation gets ready to retire Social Security and other so called benefits will be non-accessible. I'm still trying to find my niche, the thing is I don't want to overwhelm myself I'm already doing so much. I have a couple of ideas I will email you and maybe you may have information on how I can accomplish it. These ideas I've been having for a while and have been eating at me since, it may be a call I don't know, but I will email you and share, I just don't know where to start. This may be a lot of peoples issues, you have ideas, but where to start.


Thanks, your blog is always informative. :0)
