Starting the month with some GOOD NEWS.
 
It already FEELS different, cooler, and leafs falling from trees.

YES, it is going to be a tumultuous Fall, all around the world. But it is a good time to immerse yourself in some good opportunities too.

Today, I have already gone through the Sept. issue of Retailers Forum Magazine, found here:

And the latest issue of SHORE TO SHORE #225 here:

Plus wading through the new ULINE catalog, this is the time of the year when catalogs keep rolling in, and who says mail order is dead, NOT ME.

As I read, I take notes, mostly writing down URL's these days so I can check out the many scores of opportunities out there, all of them, good, bad, ugly...stupid and scams too. Lots of the latter taking place.

School has started, football is in the air, feels pretty normal if you ignore news for a couple of days, you could even think all is where it is supposed to be. We all tend to trick ourselves along the lines of our current beliefs, anyhow.

The GOOD NEWS is, there are no rules you must follow, obey or even care about if you are involved in LEGAL business opportunities, and offer a product or service which people pay for and the demand is strong.

That pretty much sums it up. Offer what is in DEMAND.

Be the supply.

Set up your toll gate, collect the doughs...and carry on. September, I remember a ...

a profit made

is now long gone. (Apologies Paul Simon).

Time to make some DOUGH unuts, eh?

An odd hobby turned into a viable business...

Thanks Gordon,

Many of us could use some good news!

I've been overwhelmed with helping my wife take care of our now 3-month-old daughter... (Wow, I knew it was a lot of work... But we've still been overwhelmed! She is adorable though, and worth it!)

Thanks for your update!

What you're doing is what we should all be doing!

By the way, here's an interesting tidbit...

I read about an engineer in upstate NY who quit his job recently, to go into "blacksmithing"... creating his own handmade custom knives, and selling them from his website. Apparently, there's more demand than he can keep up with... He says the key is authenticity, that's what people want (and of course, make sure there's a demand for your product)...

He's been doing it as a hobby for 3 years, before "taking the plunge"...

Here's his website (for the curious)... https://spanglerforge.com

Best wishes,

Dien
