Because of Lockdowns traditional businesses are all but closed down. This is a time when the people need to support each other.

And I have a business opportunity that provides a way for that to happen. And that is why this worldwide company is experiencing a marketing revolution – a revolution that benefits the little guy!

It is also why the company is experiencing the best growth year
in our 35-year history even during this pandemic!!!

We’re in a unique position.

We dont do pushy selling !!


When Mandy ,started her own business as a beautician. Her
business required her to travel all over the United
Kingdom to find new clients. This made it very
difficult for her to provide the level of support she
wanted for her family and her retired parents. It also
left her constantly worried about not making enough
money to make ends meet each month.
When she was stated Mandy
was looking for something to enhance her wellbeing
and overall health. She enrolled in of January 2020
after trying a complete Daily Vitamin Pack along with
a few other products. After loving the products,
Mandy’s enroller Vivian who approached her and suggested she build a business.
“After seeing impressive results from the the products, I started sharing my experience on social media,” Mandy says. “People who knew
me saw the changes and were really interested in trying the products for themselves, and it just started from there. With help and encouragement from Vivian, I began to seriously consider this as a business.”
When Mandy is talking to someone about her business, she simply gives them a little background information on the products, how they work, and how to use them. After that, the products will speak for themselves!
Mandy works hard to stay in contact with her customers and team to ensure everyone has the sameproduct knowledge and business-building training.
“Within my team, I ensure the right communication,”
Mandy explains. “We teach each other the benefits of the products, how to follow-up with customers, and how to share the message. In addition, I also ask my team to follow a Seven Critical Business-Building
Activities to improve their success.”
After being in business for only 11 months, Mandy has started earning a sustainable four figure income every month . She’s so
grateful that she was introduced to this company and the life changing products and business opportunity.

“I am
thankful that I now have a working life that makes me happy and fulfilled,” she says. “I have the opportunity to feel settled because I have a steady income now. The people I meet are the best part! I love being able to stay
connected with my team member and friends and see
them succeed.”

And we don’t depend on brand recognition; we depend on superior
products. We tell people face to face why our products are better. We

And they come with full satisfaction guarantees. the big corporations have no way to beat that!
Because of our superior products, the whole marketplace is ours for the taking, and it can help you too.

NO SELLING NO PARTY PLAN NO BUYING STOCK TO SELL ETC.. use the products and tell other ( if you want to ) and if you do YOU will get paid.

This will probably not be needed by the younger generation!

I have lots of VHS videos from the early nineties that I recorded of my kids as toddlers.

Having them on VHS tapes is not the most convenient or easiest way to view them.

So we wanted to be able to see them on an Ipad and Iphone and then store them on the Itunes cloud ( you can use any online cloud based storage for this)

I also wanted to be able to share them with my now grown up kids on Whatsapp or by text message.

And by updating them to digital format it makes storing safer so there was less risk of losing them.

First off I read a lot of reviews on how to do this.

Some made it sound almost impossible with various download of drivers required.

I went off to Ebay and bought a cheap USB to  Video DVR / Scart lead convertor (less than £15)

When I received the converter it came with some manuals and a mini driver cd.

I realised I didn’t have a mini cd player on my PC.

So I had to go looking online for the drivers to allow the Video DVR link to be added as a device on my Laptop. ( I have done this on an Apple Mac too – if you seach on Ebay you will find a Mac compatible version )

It then took hours of trying to find a Windows 10 driver  — Forget this bit – I didn’t need any other driver. see here

I used a sample copy of Coral Video  then connected the DVR link to the VHS player and lo and behold I could see the video on my Coral editor.

Using Coral Editor

I played the video whilst using Coral to capture the clip   I kept the clips to under 4 minutes  this keeps the file size under 75 mb  which I found was a working shareable size over Whatsapp

Then once I had the file saved I choose to save my video as Iphone compatible MPEG

 

And then I added to my Icloud drive 

 

 

 

From there I can access from my Ipad and then share over Imessage or from my phone so I can use Whatsapp.

Hope this helps anyone out there with a similar desire to copy their VHS videos.

Apple Iwatch Golf Apps – When I first looked at the Apple Iwatch  I was a bit sceptical, thinking of it as a gimmick Iphone add- on with an expensive step counter and a few other added features for the geeks.

But since my kids clubbed together and bought me one for Christmas.. well my Iwatch has massively grown on me, and once I discovered the Apple Iwatch Golf Apps I was hooked !

First off the app to ping my phone  when I had misplaced it was super handy and then the exercise analysis app bullied me into shape.  I forgot to take the watch off one night and it buzzed me at 3 in the morning to tell me to stand up. Oh and the Ebay app came in handy to keep up with my prospective golf club purchases and the text messages on my Iwatch without having to actually lift it out of my coat pocket was a handy feature.

Then the AHA moment came – Golf GPS – as a super keen golfer it was one of the things I looked in the iWatch Apps. I wasn’t expecting much to be honest but when I went to the iTunes App store and typed in golf -The Kid in a candy store feeling happened pretty quick.

In the App store there are quite a few free Apple Iwatch golf apps with  GPS and Golf scoring apps plus a few golf Tuition analysis Apps available for free. (more later on these tuition apps)

This seemed perfect however when I briefly googled the watch to get an idea on which one to download and its value for golf,  The reviews were olden basically nothing was setting the world on fire, plus battery life seemed like a big concern – so maybe the Apple Iwatch was not ready for golf or so it initially seemed until I ignored the reviews and actually tried out a few of the Apps.

I first downloaded PROTOS Caddy from the Apple App store   (funnily golf apps for the Iwatch don’t even get a mention in the advertising blurb!)

Protos Caddy

This is the one I have used most. Its a free GPS system with most Worldwide golf courses on it. I play at Monifieth Scotland.

Monifieth has two courses and both come up when I use the “search nearby” function on my phone. There is an advert that pops up on the Iphone screen when you load up to look for courses, it selects these based on your GPS location. So you must have your location services activated.

Then its simply a case of ensuring your Iwatch is connected (paired) to your Iphone and then opening the Protus app on your Iwatch.

I have found the yardages to be pretty accurate and because of the ease of use I have even stopped using my Bushnell Laser!  The I-watch is just so much simpler. I play off a low single figure handicap and find the Iwatch golf Apps accurate enough to let me trust the figures given. I have paced the yardages out on the green to from the yardage zero point, this allows me to keep a simple chart of the iWatch zero point and where it is on every green.

Then its just a case of estimating where the pin is in relation to the yardage given by the Iwatch – front back central. And then hit the ball!

The only thing I found frustrating with the Protos system was if you are moving around the course missing out holes or going back in the round to replay due to the course being busy, or as in my case where the course layout changed and the hole had to be manually sought out. The Iwatch only offers previous or next hole. This is a small inconvenience to be honest and as its a FREE Golf App not something to dwell on.

My opinion is that the IWatch golf apps feature is the best bit about having an iWatch !

Treat yourself to an Iwatch today you won’t regret it especially as the other devices Eg Bushnell Watches costwise are not much cheaper than the Iwatch Sport, and the Apple device offers so much more!

Whats your opinion?  Tell me in comments below.

I battle with a slide to the left in my golfswing.  There I have said it!!

I blame this recurring flaw / movement on playing a lifetime of golf at a windy Scottish links course and  trying to keep the ball down. Incidentally, I moved to an inland course for a few years and was amazed how high these inland players hit the ball! Anyhow this slide makes me push or slice the ball which knocks yards off drives into a wind which  means a much longer second shot to long par 4s. Also means a lot of scrambling with chipping and putting having to be relied on to get a score. So I finally decided to do something about it by looking carefully at my swing.

I downloaded an app for my Iphone called V1 Golf which allowed slow motion recording of my swing and a enabled a closer look at this fault.

First thing I noticed was where I was at impact.01886cf5f6aa20c9243ad482c5eeed81a796c17caa

I slid through with upper body over my left foot during transition from top of the backswing to impact mid downswing. This meant being forward through the ball. Clubhead behind my hands with obvious opening clubface caused by this move.

Look at the picture on the right of a young Rory Mcilroy or VJ Sing for comparison.

As I am getting older and am shortening my swing slightly as well to allow for reduced flexibility but extending through the ball while keeping weight on left side with a tilt to right is my swing thought.

Post in comment below your thoughts and pictures of your swing .

Starting a business all on your own from home can be a big learning curve where you are in unfamiliar territory.  It can be easy to spend huge amounts on a startup.  People who are prepared to risk their savings on expensive dreams are becoming rarer. However people still take their retirement payout and “invest” in a startup business.

Yes it can work for you but the present day statistics point to pause for thought before jumpino-sellingng into a traditional bricks and mortar business. The finance decisions are yours totally until you need to involve banks etc then it becomes an accountable burden,  so its worth being critical and careful.

The baby boomer generation is turning 60,  and the prospect of retirement is looking more frightening than ever before.

Covid with resulting job losses. House prices are dropping, retirement plans dwindling, interest rates not paying enough on savings.  So retirees are now facing challenges they had never anticipated. Those challenges aside, retirement packs its own host of roadblocks for those who want to leave the workforce.

The cost of living is often more than most people assume, and few workers are able to retire with as much savings as they need in order to live comfortably.

“Everybody thinks your expenses go down when you retire,” says experienced home business owner Rita Canney. She says  “My expenses stayed pretty much the same!”

For the solution to those problems, many retirees, Rita included, are looking to the same source of residual income that Elizabeth Lindberg discovered nearly 25 years ago.

At the time a retired  66-year-old nurse  who earned over  $1 million to date from her home based business. Elizabeth started with an innovative green online shopping company in December 1985,  just a couple of months after the company opened its doors, a year after most people retire.

The company had only eight products, all based on tea tree oil. “The first appeal was the safety of the products,” says Elizabeth. “I was a nurse in a hospital and I saw so many children come in because of unsafe products. I had to let everyone know, especially parents with children, that they needed safe products in their homes.”

Over the years, she built her business to a high management level. “I know I couldn’t survive solely on my Social Security; so my check gives me a secure retirement,” she says. “I lived during the Great Depression, so I know about financial hardship. If people want financial security, this company, I truly believe, is one of the best sources.”

Elizabeth had her 94th birthday recently and now lives in a retirement home but is still being paid every month on efforts from years ago. I emailed her a birthday congratulations and she responded almost immediately. ” Thank you Colin for your kind words.Best wishes for success and isn’t it fun helping to clean up the world? Elizabeth
