I WANT TO BECOME A MILLIONAIRE

So, you want to be a millionaire.

It's a big goal, and for most people there are only four options to make it happen. You can inherit money, win money, save money or earn money.

In other words, you can inherit money from a rich relative, win the lottery, save for most of your life, or earn a million in your own business.

Inherit Money

This one is pretty straightforward. You either come from money or you don't. Movies are full of stories about people inheriting millions unexpectedly from long-lost relatives, but don't count on it. Even if you do have rich relatives, you could wait years and years before the millions become your own.

Bottom Line: It's not your money, so don't waste your life waiting for it.

Win the Lottery

The odds of winning the lottery in a single state lottery are about 18 million to one. Looking to win one of the multi-state Mega-Millions? Your odds of winning jump as high as 120 million to 1.

Your odds of being struck by lightening are about 2.65 million to one. You are 6 to 45 times more likely to be struck by lightening than to strike it rich on your next lottery ticket.

Bottom Line: Buying that lottery ticket is about as productive for your financial future as striking a match to that dollar and watching it burn.

Save Money

Finally, a guaranteed way to become a millionaire! If you discipline yourself to save and safely invest 10% of your income from the time you are 18, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that you will have accumulated at least a million dollars by the time you are ready to retire at 65.

That means you need to be sensible and practical your entire life. No splurge spending on your dream car, or vacations in paradise. After all you are saving for your future!

Saving for your future is a great habit. But most of us just don't have the self-discipline to be successful at it. Personally, I would rather earn money fast so I don't have to sacrifice to save. I want to spend money on things that make my current life rewarding. Patience has never been one of my strong suits. If you can make the save and invest method happen, I applaud you.

Bottom Line: You can become a millionaire by saving wisely. But life is not guaranteed. How do you know you will be around to benefit from all your scrimping and saving?

Start Your Own Business

As far as I'm concerned, this is really your own option. The first three methods are either out of your control, or take so long that it may not be worth the wait. Generating extra income through your own business gives you the best odds of success.

Owning your own business gives you control over your income. Your success is solely dependent on your efforts. You don't have to be dependent on your boss for your next raise, fate to give you the winning ticket, decades of time to earn interest and dividends, or death to take away a family member.

Owning your own business also gives you the opportunity to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on ineffective marketing programs, training materials, and overhead expenses. If you have dabbled in business ownership at all, you know that running a business can cost big bucks, too.

Bottom Line: The best guarantee of generating income in a business is finding a product or service that people want to buy. Forget all that feel good fluff about "finding something you love". Get rolling by starting something that is tried and true, find someone experienced to help you along, and be willing to work.

Becoming a millionaire is a big goal. But there are more millionaires now than at any other time in history. If millionaire status is your dream, there is absolutely no reason why you can't achieve it.

At the same time, positive mental attitude and luck does not create millionaires. You have to have a plan and work your plan in order to make your dream a reality. Most importantly, expect that you will make mistakes, have to backtrack, and sometimes even have to start over.

Start researching your options now. Your best bet is to find a business you can start part-time. Keeping your day job limits your financial risk. Give yourself time to start making sales and generating income. If you don't need the business income to survive, you can invest everything back into your business at the beginning. This will give your business extra capital to grow more quickly.

It all starts with your vision. If you want it bad enough, and are willing to do more than want and dream, your vision can become your reality. Earning extra income is not dependent on luck or being born into the right family. You need to be willing to do whatever it takes, and stop settling for less.

Set aside just one hour a day to work on your business. I challenge you to schedule one hour each day as your Millionaire Hour. Start with research, but as soon as possible, find a product or service you can market, and start selling! Quit dreaming about being a millionaire, and start doing.

Where will you be one year from today if you have invested 365 hours into starting and running your own business? In five years, you would have worked a total of 1825 hours in your business, simply by spending just one hour a day, or seven hours each week on your business rather than the next prime time TV show.

Or, you can keep dreaming and keep on buying next week's lottery ticket.....

DANGERS OF BUYING FROM PIRATES

One of the problems the filmmakers are facing is the rapid spread of pirated DVD and CD market. Thus it has become imperative to be cautious about the danger of producing, buying or using pirated products. Suppose you have bought a good looking, nice packed DVD, and when you come back home with it you find something disturbing. The cover, which is printed on the face of the DVD, is a cheap, ordinary looking one. Then you can be certain that the picture would be sub-standard and unclear.

Distributors generally would make good quality DVD cases for the packaging whereas a pirated DVD would be put in an ordinary DVD case.

All the DVDs are based on region codes. Most often the pirated DVDs contain non-existent codes which can be easily identified. You can play the supposedly region 1 DVD on any Region 4 player.

Another important problem you would witness is that the cover would not match the title and content of the DVD. The fonts used most of the time are blurry and are full of typographical errors. The original DVD should contain the DVD image that was given in the ad. Pirated DVDs seldom follow this and will have any picture on it.

One of the problems that the online sellers face is the selling of pirated DVDs through major online selling sites. The sites, which host the web selling, often do not have too much control over the merchandise. This leads to customer dissatisfaction over the sold product.

There are some precautions you can take while buying a DVD to check its originality. Find out the photos of the original DVD on the net. You can find it in other places also and can request it from the distributors or the reseller. If the reseller is genuine, then he can provide you with snapshots taken from different angles.

Do not forget to check the feedback of the seller from other customers. There might be a negative comment written on him. Some people have the habit of making comments before they go through the process of investigating the whole truth. Read the comments carefully as there might be some useful information shared in the small space.

Some sellers are there who try to make quick bucks by selling both original and pirated DVDs. They just mix the content and sell to unsuspecting consumers. As it is online, most customers do not take the pain to send the DVD back to the seller and ask for a refund.

Pirates, nowadays, have a full arsenal for creating pirated DVDs. They even have a factory to put a stamp on their own DVD and seal it. Most of the time, the seals are imitations of the original factory seal. This easily fools the buyer.

However, the reputed sellers do not indulge in any of these practices and you can rest assured that the product offered by them is 100% genuine.

MY FAVORITE NFL GAMES ON TV

I am a big fan of the National Football league (NFL). I like this sport because of the toughness of the players as they run from end to end to make a touch down. It is not just the physical abilities of the players playing but also the the mental strategy in creating a good play that converts to points.

To be able to see the game matches, I have acquired a NFL Sunday Ticket. This ticket enables me to watch all the games on TV in the comfort of my home. This is a DirectTV NFL Sunday Ticket as I watch the 200 games played in the season.

Having a DirectTV NFL Sunday Ticket is an advantage because I get to see almost all the games and get updated statistic of players and team standings in the season. The NFL TV Package is much cheaper and you will be able to watch the games as it is being played. Having a NFL TV in my house, I get to spend more quality time my with kids as we watch the games on our TV in our home.

SWEATING PROBLEMS

I'm going to take the time to show you how to stop a sweating problem. A lot of people are, around the world, suffer from overactive sweating. It is estimated that 2-3% of people are experiencing it and very few actually seek active treatment. This would probably explain why the medical community doesn't really have the slightest clue on what needs to be done. There idea of a solution is surgically remove sweat glands and other dangerous methods that don't really deal with why things happen. I'm going to talk to you about this excess sweating problem people have and show you that there is hope.

Most of my adult life, I've been sweating far too much. It is probably the biggest aspect in what has made me socially awkward. When you are excessively sweating, you just give people a different vibe and it is typically a negative one. This can lead to a lot of negative experiences. I know, when it comes to my career, that I've been passed over again and again for promotions precisely because of this. The sweaty guy just looks like they lack confidence or are in now way able to deal with a pressure situation.

I got to the point where I wanted to solve this sweating problem and move onto my life. I got all the books I could find on the topic and vigorously researched for solutions. I actually found out that the way I was eating, was really aiding in raising the temperature of my body. I started to change my diet around and my sweating disappeared with it.

Drink Water and Stay healthy and Active.

This makes sense .. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals ..not cold water. Maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain...For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you.

It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion.

Once this "sludge" reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

A serious note about heart attacks: Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line. You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack.

Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms.

60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive...

A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this article shares it to everyone they know, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life.

JENNIFER ANISTON WANTS JOHN MAYER SO MUCH

Jennifer Aniston's biological clock kicked into overdrive this week after seeing Brad Pitt in People magazine with his gaggle of kids. Apparently, she's ready to let her uterus be a vessel for John Mayer's offspring and prove she's not a barren witch that lives in a gingerbread house. It's made of graham crackers. Star reports. The 39-year-old actress feels that after all she has been through watching Brad and Angie's family grow, she'd love Brad to see photos of her holding her own baby and show him she's not the self-centered girl he had made her out to be.

"It's my turn now," she told a friend. And Jen believes the rocker is perfect daddy material.
"Jen feels so strongly that John is 'the one,' " says a source. "She knows he can handle being a dad." Nothing like having a child out of spite. Because that'll really teach Angelina Jolie a lesson and not fuck the kid up for life. Then again, Jennifer Aniston with prego boobs? Hmm.... The Superficial wishes John and Jennifer the best of luck in their endeavor and would like to point out you can't get pregnant reading this site (yet), so get crackin'. And, John, no showboating; this is serious business, so it'd probably be best if you left your guitar in its case. Harmonica too.
