Upsize Me!

Past, present, and future victims of downsizing unite!

About Me

I guess we all know that Upsize Me! isn't my name. My name is Joe.I started this profile to network with people who know that they need to get out of the bondage to a job and into multiple streams of income and businesses.People who know that either their job will fail them, or more than likely already has.My profile is very new but already my friends list is stocked very well with people who are pros at mentoring people like me- and maybe you?- who need to be taught how to make those changes in our lives.Some are coaches, some are Idealists who are giving back to the world in the form of teaching and mentoring people to walk the same path as they walked.Some are really top performers- in the world- in marketing and Internet marketing. A couple are famous people that I like and aren't really involved with the vision of Upsize Me.One thing that you will find as you attempt to leave the false security of that one more paycheck, is that all business is marketing. And someone will have to make a sale for there to be money for you.You will have to become a student of marketing. Even if you find a business that has someone else selling, you will have to find people to buy from your closer. If the idea of a business where you have your own closers making your sales and sending you commisions of $1000 and up appeals to you-Home business with $1000, $3200 and $6000 commissions with sales made by your own closers team!

WHY 'INSPIRE TO BE'
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

My Interests

Assets, travel, passive income, financial education, mentoring youth, mentoring un-youth :), web 2.0 and beyond, life in other nations, financial freedom, the Constitution of the United States of America and the republic which it governs... width="425" height="350" ..DISCLAIMER: The opinions and the actions of the people and organiztaions on my friends list do not necessarily, and often do not in any way, line up with my beliefs, opinions, or ways of doing business or my way of life. I do not endorse the people or their actions unless I do so specifically. Many people's profiles will have things I have never seen, and therefore don't even know about. It's not my fault. I especially am not espousing or promoting anyone's religous or spiritual viewpoints or lifestyles through their inclusion on my list. I disclaim any responsibilty for any actions or opinions of any of these people. I also put my opinions out in things I write. I am not a legal person or an accountant or any of that. Please take my opinions for what they are, I don't guarantee any results from adopting them, and your results will differ from mine. I hope they do, especially when it comes to years wasted learning the lessons... believe me and everyone else at your own risk!

I'd like to meet:

I want to meet people who aren't comfortable and content with only seeing their children when someone else says they may have the time off. Missing events they can never get back and having to aplogize to their babies about it.Having missed most all of my children's events for that very reason, a swing shift job, I am dedicating myself to influencing others to make the changes in time. Soon they will be grown and it will be too late...Young people who have seen their parents struggle against an occupational failure path while not knowing what to do to change it- and you want to learn how to find a success path for yourself- your parent's and grandarent's financial shoes don't fit you and you want to find some of your own.You didn't see your dad or mom at enough of your cool events, you came home from school to an empty house, and you want to learn how your life can be more available to your children someday.People whose employers says things like mine used to, "If we can't make money safely this year we will be closing."People who know that there is no such thing as job security. Or, if you think there is such a thing, are willing to learn that it's actually a fantasy.People who know that right now they are the "before picture" and are longing to become the "after picture".
