Greetings & Salutations:

The idea for the "American Association of Buiness People & Entrepreneurs7" (AABPE7) came to me late one night in the first week of November, 2008, when I saw a TV commercial for the AARP.  I asked myself, "Why isn't there an organization like that for Business People?" -- After thinking about it for a couple days, the idea for, and concept of, such an organization began forming in my mind and I began writing notes to myself regarding the formation of such an organization.

To get some ideas, I researched the AARP, NFIB (National Federation of Indepndent Business), Farmer's Co-ops, and a plethora of Business Organizations - and - I began gathering information on product and service providers to contact.

Now, the "American Association of Buiness People & Entrepreneurs7" has become a reality ... it went live at midnight on December 31, 2008.

We are dedicated to reducing costs and maximizing the profits of American Business People & Entrepreneurs.

"Have you noticed and I am sure you have (LOL!), that when a guru produces an 'amazing' program, that all of the other gurus, internet marketers, follow suit of emailing their lists and to top it off, they send you/give you their best of the best programs for free!  I don't know.. maybe just to make a statement? -- But YOU, are different! You don't do that. My opinion, you are sort the behind the scenes guy.  You've been there, done that, and that and so forth and so on..."

Thank you,  Margaret ...

I guess I've spent too long in the "real" business world (over 50 years) - and - the  only things I have ever written about are "real" business application that have worked for generations upon generations of "real" business people. -- That's why some of my reports ... with only minor updates ... have sold for over  30 years.

"Real" business just keeps on working for generations.  -- Flash-in-the-pan "make money"  programs have to be continually updated with new launches because they don't rely upon "real" time-tested and proven business methods.

I don't have to launch a "new" product every couple months because my programs last and last and last ... they just keep on producing mega-profits for me and those  who follow my step-by-step instructions. -- Some of  my reports have been selling for over 30 years - and - they work today just as well as they did when I first wrote them ... making my readers millions upon millions of dollars.




Wayne Carter wanted to know ...

"I was wondering who do I get to buy the products once I have found the products in the United States to export -- I guess I am over-complicating this but I dont understand who the end buyer would be or how to contact them...in order for the sale to take place?"

Wayne ...

You "sell" the products overseas just as you would here in the U.S. -- Advertise.

Go to your Public  Library and ask to see a Directory of International Magazines.  Then, look up the publications directed to the category of buyers you want to locate.  Contact the companies that advertise  in  those publications and offer them what you have - and - advertise  in those publications too.

Do You Sell Anything?

If you don't, you aren't making any money.

I recently reviewed a new sales book ... "Sales Encyclopedia" ... by John Chapin .  Having DONE it for over 50 years, I can honestly say this book is the most complete, comprehensive book ever written on selling.

No matter what your experience level may be, you'll find gems here found nowhere else.

I highly recommend this the "Sales Encyclopedia" ... it should be in every business' library.

You can get your personal copy at:  http://www.completeselling.com ... or through  Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Borders.

Believe it or don't ... I ain t a mind-reader. -- If n you doesn't tell me what you need, I may never touch upon the information, sources or resources you need.

This is your publication for you to use to your benefit ... I am just your moderator.

 Until next month, keep well ...

"We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a
thing.  Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom
generates action." -- Frank Tibolt

"The best place to get help is from yourself." -- Epictetus

"Failure is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently." -- Henry Ford


Can you stump the old master? -- Betcha can't!

Over the past 50 years (man and boy), I have made bundles of money in direct selling, service contracting, wholesale merchandising, entertainment (I was a professional Trumpet player, vocalist & Radio Announcer), freight forwarding, import/export, retail merchandising, warehousing, real estate, electronics manufacturing, finder's fees, closeout merchandising, financial brokerage, business consulting, steel fabrication, gold and coal mining, offshore banking, mailorder, writing, and publishing. -- That being the case ...

No matter what business you're in ... whether you're just starting, well on your way, or at the top of the heap ... I've probably been where you are, done what you are doing. -- So ...

Anytime you have a question about 'how' to do something in your business - or - if you have any comments about anything I've said in issues of this e-Letter; or if you want to add your 2 cents worth ... just "ask" me or "tell" me.

Send your Questions, Comments or 2 Cents Worth to ...

with "Question" - "Comment" - or, "2 Cents Worth" in the SUBJECT.

If I, personally, don't have an answer to any question you may ask, I will contact some of the professionals in your field of endeavor (I will probably know one or more personally) to get the real 'skinny' for you.

Note: If you want to ask a question anonymously just tell me so when you send in the question. -- Nobody but you and I will know who asked the question.
