Touch their hearts with an Original Message in a Bottle

It’s that time of the year, time for giving gifts to our love-ones.  But are you running out of unique gift ideas? Fear not, I recently learned about this unique gift idea which I believe you will love: Build your own Message in a Bottle Gift!

As stated on their website: “Create a one-of-a-kind gift, invitation or promotional product that becomes a focal point of the recipient’s day.  Reminding them of the person that sent them their special message in a bottle… Each bottle arrives resting on a sea of white foam as if it washed ashore in from the sea.”

“Explore the site, take your time, relax, and enjoy building your own message in a bottle, as a birthday gift, Get well, I’m Sorry, Proposal, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Christmas, Valentine’s Day….really don’t need a reason to send a message in a bottle.”

One of the great features of the MIB is that you can customize the messages and the bottle contents. So you will have a lot of ways to express your feeling & love! :-).  For example, it’s Christmas Time – Send them, Christmas in a Bottle, an instant forever keepsake – Christmas.

Merry Christmas To You!

The Scenic California Highway 1

Recently several friends and I visited the scenic California Highway 1 since it’s only a one-day trip, so we only visited one of the most beautiful stretch of the highway ocean front view which includes the vicinity of Monterey & the 17-mile drive, as well as the charming little town Carmel. I have been living in California for more than twenty years and it’s my first visit, which is a shame. Two of the friends have visited the area several times, but they still find it very exciting and find something new to explore each time. Anyway, I put together a little slide show here and hope you will enjoy it!  🙂

What Are American’s Biggest Fears?

According to the source from Chapman University, here are the top 10 American’s Biggest Fears:

  • 60.6% – Corrupt Government Officials
  • 41% – Terrorist Attack
  • 39.9% – Not Having Enough Money for the Future
  • 38.5% – Terrorism
  • 38.5% – Government Restrictions on Firearms/Ammunition
  • 38.1% – People I Love Dying
  • 37.5% – Economic/Financial Collapse
  • 35.9% – Identity Theft
  • 35.9% – People I Love Becoming Seriously Ill
  • 35.5% – The Affordable Health Care Act/Obamacare

There you have it. These are all legitimate fears we all face today and with such a high percentage, I totally agree with the #1 fear. But I am a little surprised that Identity Theft made it to the top 10 list. But judging from the horror stories of the identity theft victims of what they have to go through, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. While sometimes, the occurrence of identity theft events is out of our control, such as the security breach on major banks, health insurance companies, retail stores…etc., or the latest Yahoo account compromise, on the personal level there is something we can do to protect our identity and privacy. The one thing you can do is start by changing your wallet to one that’s capable of RFID blocking. I am sure you have found out already that most credit cards now come with a chip. Identity thieves equipped with the special high-tech device can steal your credit card information when they get near you and scan your wallet or purse without you knowing what’s going on. You can do a search on Youtube and will find videos such as this one:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49o91DvqQ7k.

And you guess it right on the money, our SOS EDC™ RFID blocking wallets will do the job of stopping the scanning if used properly. Our wallets are not only designed to stop electronic pickpocketing but also physical pickpocketing. The protection these wallets provide is well worth the small investment you put in, this could be one of the smartest investments you will ever make. Trust me, you really don’t want to go through the ordeal of losing your wallet or having your identity got stolen and used in fraudulent/criminal activities.

So please CHECK THEM OUT and recommend them to your friends. 🙂

Book Recommendation: Time Isn’t the Problem, You Are: Four Strategies to Transform Stress Into Success

I have never recommended a book halfway through reading it, but the book I am currently reading is an exception. The book I recommend reading if you want to how to achieve your goal in life is “Time Isn’t the Problem, You Are: Four Strategies to Transform Stress Into Success” by Chad E. Cooper. I learned about this book from the radio talk show program Coast to Coast AM with George Noory. As usual, I turned on my radio on the way driving home after finishing my night shift at 12 am on August 19 and listened to Coast To Coast AM program. As you may know, most of the time, the radio talk show is about UFOs, paranormal & remote viewing…etc., which I am a bit skeptical but have an open mind to embrace this kind of topics, I do believe in UFOs exist by the way :-). But occasionally the talk show host George Noory brings on some guests who can offer some real life-changing advice for ordinary folks like me. And that night is no exception, the guest being interviewed is Chad E. Cooper.

I am very impressed by Chad Cooper’s credentials & achievements mentioned during the radio show interview. He also talked about his book “Time Isn’t the Problem, You Are: Four Strategies to Transform Stress Into Success” in the show and I purchased the Kindle version of the book right when I got home.  Now that I am about halfway through reading the book, I must say that it’s one of the most practical books which offers real actionable advice on how to break out of your current stagnate situation and achieve success in life. I also found out that the hard times & issues he faced before are a lot like my own, except that I am still not able to achieve even a tiny fraction of his success. 🙁

Here are some of the great advice I learned so far: Stop using limp language in our writing; create roles in our daily routines; do you view your past experience & current situation as an excuse or an explanation? … and I like this definition of Fear: False Emotion Appearing Real. Of course, there is a lot more actionable advice in the book than I just mentioned, and I am only halfway through the book. I have never highlighted so many sentences in a book before. Anyway, if you want to learn how to get out of your current rot and achieve whatever you set your mind to, I highly recommend this book. You can check out the preview below.

These days the computer and keyboard have long replaced the clunky old typewriter and you would think that typing would be 2nd nature to most of the people who use computers, but I am amazed at how many of they are still use the hunt-and-peck method of typing on the keyboard. Someone actually said to me: “Wow, it’s amazing how you can type without looking at the keyboard?” I told him took a typing class when I was in high school with a typewriter. But I didn’t get better until I started practicing on a computer with a typing software program I purchased. And the program is not cheap back then. Not now, if you want to learn how to touch type or improve your existing typing skill 100% free of charge, please visit www.typing.com. No matter what skill lever you are at, you will find a lesson suitable for you.

Here they are in no preferential order:

  1. DoodleKitwww.doodlekit.com/ According to their website, “Doodlekit is a free website builder that allows small businesses and everyday people to make websites online without knowing how to code.” The basic plan is free and you have the option to upgrade to more advanced paid plans.

They have many themes you can choose from, and you can build your website from your mobile device so it’s very convenient for users on the go who need to update their websites no matter where they are.
  3. Wix www.wix.com/ As stated on their website: “Wix.com is a leading cloud-based development platform with millions of users worldwide. We make it easy for everyone to create a beautiful, professional web presence.

Book Recommendation – The Entrepreneur Roller Coaster: Why Now Is the Time to Join the Ride Kindle Edition

I have just finished reading the book on my iPad Mini: The Entrepreneur Roller Coaster: Why Now Is the Time to Join the Ride. I must say it’s well worth the read if you are contemplating starting your own business. The book will give you an early warning of what it will be like when you start the roller coaster ride of entrepreneurship and provides you the advice on how to deal with the difficult issues you will most likely encounter.

Recently I have read inspiring articles on how reading should be part of our daily routine that you should read whenever & where ever you can and how someone can read X number of books a month/year, but as Darren Hardy, the author of this book points out, it is better to read a great book 32 times than reading 32 books. And you don’t succeed by just reading & learning. “Yo have to study, then do. We need to learn less and do more.”

Anyway, knowing reading more may not be enough to be successful, I do recommend adding this book to your reading list if you want to ride the entrepreneurship roller coaster and then apply its advice to your daily business routine.

What happens after kickstarter? Let’s kickfurther!!

I am sure you have heard about Kickstarter, which is a platform for businesses and individuals to have their projects/products funded ahead of the actual production. Without this service, many of the projects & products may not have been made possible. But what about after you have successfully launched your initial project or product and need more funding in order to continue to grow? Well, fear not, kickfurter.com comes to the rescue.

To my understanding, with kickstarter.com, you fund part of the project or product, and if the project or product has been funded and produced, you will receive your fund’s worth of the project or product.  However, kickfurter.com works differently for the backer. According to kickfurter.com:  “You buy a portion of the company’s purchase order & promote them to help sell their inventory. When the company’s goods sell, earn the promised return on your investment for your help.” I believe this is truly a Win-Win situation for businesses and investors. The return rates are definitely much better than what the banks pay you if you have extra money to invest.  It’s a really fun way to invest too, you may find some very interesting products which otherwise may not have been noticed. I highly recommend you check it out.

There is  also a referral program available: “Every 3rd person you invite that signs up and makes a claim will earn you an Offer Key, which gives you early access to offers by allowing you to make a claim during the preview period.”  So I do encourage you to click on the links on this post to signup. You will get a $5 credit upon sign-up.  Another Win-Win!! 🙂
