My Winter Story

During the past 4 winters, I decided I would not plow anymore. Too cold, in the middle of the night, no restaurants or stores are open to get something warm to eat, all by your self, hard to see driveways at night(most people forget to turn the lights on), no markers to see where the driveway is etc.

So, because I had all this time on my hands, I read a lot of books on self improvement and did a lot of work on me. I also, became very interested in starting my own home business, hey, I had the winter off, and needed additional income, to replace what I used to make plowing. So I went online, looking for a home based business to run last year during the winter.

You know how a lot of people are always dieting, drinking energy drinks like Red Bull and a lot of people take vitamins are interested in natural health these days. Well, I found this company that sells cool versions of these products, that people really like. they have some cookies, that dieters love to eat to manage their weight, an energy drink about 1/3 the cost of Red Bull, but gives a better buzz and lots of vitamins and healthy things people really like and buy from them all the time.

So, I found out I need about 150 people using these products, to more than, replace my plowing income. So I started this winter learning how to get those users. Hey, I learned to be a landscaper, a parent, how to use a computer and do email so I new I could learn how to get these users.

So I got thinking, "whats going to easier" going back to plowing on cold winter nights or learning a system to get 150 people using these products.

What do you think?

Lot's of Landscape pics

Well, I went down to the shop and copied 2 cd disk's worth of pictures, to add to this post. Rob, my boss has a great collection, he is much better at taking pics than I am and he also has a great new camera.

Talked to Rob, about business for the upcoming season and he feels that the economy is going to continue to be a problem this year. I told him to stop watching the news on TV and to stop reading the Boston Globe, which he does everyday. If all of us would do that this "recession/depression" thing would be over quickly. I learned that in the Network Marketing group that is mentoring me on my home based business. So people stop watching the news, it is creating thoughts in your mind and eventually will become true. This is a great time for home business, it has never been growing so rapidly as now.

Looks like we will not be starting the landscape season for another 2 weeks. The ponds are still frozen and there is snow in the forests and the side of the road. So its time for me to take my vitamins and get a healthy body before the season starts. During this past winter, I have been dieting by eating "diet cookies" and have lost about 7 pounds so far. I should lose some more once winter hibernation is over and I get out and moving around more.
