How to Survive in these turbulent times!!!

Dear Readers,


When you come in contact with business people as I do on a daily basis, all you hear is how bad things are out there. There is no positive outlook and the bail -out plan to the banks are drawing a lot of criticism for the way it is administered and placed into effect.


Let`s be honest, the whole bail-out plan is being administered in totally the wrong way and it is not benefitting the people it should. Why do I say this during this BILLION DOLLAR bail-out period.


Well the BANKS that are receiving the bail-out is doing the following with it which is totally against the whole idea of the bail-out:

1)They are not making the funds allocated available to the people in the street that it is intended for, so no loans are available for the cash strapped community out there,

2) They are using the money to massage their own balance sheets to impress their share holders with their managing of the banks cash resources,

3)They are declaring dividends to their shareholders, to keep them happy with the bail-out money,

4)They are declaring obscene bonuses to their management staff and directors, all this at the cost of the clients who should have seen this money in their own pockets.


I want to tell you that it will be the worst thing you can do to go onto the markets now. We are living in a day and age where GAS prices are not dependant on supply and demand anymore and one thing for sure, the GOOD Companies are going to thrive in these times, it is just the natural selection process!!

So how do we as individuals and small business owners survive in this day and age?


The following comes to mind and using them as guidelines should assist you and your business in the near future:

What does your business actually do, what is your exit strategy, what is your break-even point? You have to know what your best selling product line or service is and build on that,
Your cash flow is extremely important during these times. You must know what to fix to strengthen it and how to do it quickly ,before it eat up your lively hood, is it space, people or stock you need to rectify,
You must do MARKET research, what part of your business is seen out there, how good is your service and your product, place a lot of emphasis on SERVICE it is extremely important in any type of business,
Organize yourself and your business, eliminate any type of inefficiency it does not matter where it is,
Remember the 80/20 rule. 80% of your sales from 20% of your customers.80% of you troubles from 20% of your customers. Sort out the problem customers because they are surely costing you in efficiency and manpower,
You must know what is in it for you, if you do not know ,find out or get out now,
You have to change the way you advertise your business, it must be VIRAL, and this is very important and will help you survive.

Keep the head up and implement a few of these and it will make you and your business survive the daily grind a lot better.
Until next time,

You have untill 10 March to make this decision!!!

Good afternoon,

As a founder member of BIGTICKET I really want you to give this opportunity one last good look. Do not miss out!!!

As we push closer to our grand opening, I want to reinforce how powerful being a "FOUNDER" 300 Elite Team member means and is GOING to mean in the future. Everyone who is receiving this email will be classified as such and ANYONE that YOU enroll between now and March 10th will be ALSO classified with "FOUNDER STATUS". You WANT this to happen and here is why..
The MORE "Founders" you have enrolled the better the ODDSof building RESIDUAL income from your multi-tiers ofbonuses is going to be. Imagine having 50 people who areEACH getting 25 LISTING Voucher Codes each month below younot to mention the HUNDRED (100) listing voucher codes theywill have to START with (as you will). This is POWERFUL and isgoing to make this program EXPLODE and GROW fast. We havepeople RIGHT now who are already lining up :Small car dealerships..Boat Dealerships..Antique Shops...Small consignment Shops..RV Dealerships...Flea Market Sellers..Ebay Sellers..Etc..Etc..ANYONE who has something to sell (with exception of ILLEGALitems!) is fair game..

Think about this..They ONLY have to pay $99 to enroll (you earn $75 of that!)and $39 a month to have MULTIPLE listings each month andtheir own "MINI STORE" with their items listed in variouscategories..This is powerful and the way we are paying upfront on the$99 ($75 of that goes to the enroller) and multi-tiers ofLISTING fee's that people will PAY as this site grows inpopularity..We are paying out 50% PLUS + of the LISTINGfee's...That ALONE is huge..THIS IS Not to mention SEVERAL other surprises we have up oursleeve..

Yes, this is taking longer but then again we are DEPOSITING100 Listing Voucher CODES in EACH of your accounts to startand those will be VALUABLE in MANY ways to you...I have some things I am going to announce that are BEYONDwhat we are doing here..I will wait until the ribbon is cutthough!

**WHAT TO DO**Get as MANY people enrolled NOW...Family FRIENDS andMULTIPLE accounts if you want. EACH account will begrandfathered into the FOUNDERS group and each will get the100 LISTING VOUCHERS deposited at start and 25 (possiblymore) each month!This is unlike anything out there and people can RELATE tothis type of program. They have ALL heard of online auctionsites and BIG TICKET marketing has appeal. I KNOW itbecause I talk it up EVERYDAY myself and I have a LINE ofpeople READY to go..The great news is I will be GIVINGthese people to the 300 Elite Team! We are doing MUCH youdo not even know about yet for you...You will see. If thereare any doubters, you will be converted to a believer..Wewould not be spending all this time and money in gettingthis thing as close to perfect if our heart was not in theright place...

Bottom line team...

We have a winner here. I know it and you know it...that iswhy you signed on to begin with!
Upward and onward..With excitement!
