Entrepreneurship, It is time to make a move

Published by kdub under sponsored, WIFT, Personal Growth

“A long journey begins with the first step…”

I’m at a point in my life where entrepreneurial ideas are really becoming a regular for me. But, I have to make the jump from good ideas to implemented tasks. I have had so many ideas over the past few years that I let die by not taking that first step. There are a few that I did implement and one of course is the blog. I started this blog about a year ago…I would say that it has been somewhat successful. My effort level has really dropped here but I plan to pick it up on web2freedom.


I recently learned of the Kauffman Foundation.

The Kauffman Foundation is working to further understand the phenomenon of entrepreneurship, to advance entrepreneurship education and training efforts, to promote entrepreneurship-friendly policies, and to better facilitate the commercialization of new technologies by entrepreneurs and others which have great promise for improving the economic welfare of our nation.

The foundation prides itself on developing minority, college, and all entrepreneurs to help them take their ideas and develop them into long lasting businesses. Their mission focuses on entrepreneurship strategies, education, and awareness of the opportunity to become entrepreneurs to all children and adults:

The Outcomes We Seek:

* Children and adults are aware that entrepreneurship is a choice for their future and understand its importance to the American and global economies.
* Entrepreneurs have the knowledge, skills, networks, and values needed to grow innovative, sustainable enterprises that create jobs and wealth for America.

Anyone looking to gain information on developing their ideas or becoming an entrepreneur needs to check out the Kauffman Foundation. I have been looking at their site and there is valuable information inside.

So I was looking into booking a trip…

Published by kdub under sponsored, Opinions

We are going to take a trip to New Orleans at the end of the month. I haven’t been back there since I was in high school so I’m very excited to see how the place looks. I went out for the Bayou Classic with and I got to step in the Superdome during the classic’s stepshow. We were a bunch of highschoolers, so we could not compete but just step as an exhibition, but we did good and probably would have placed.

But, I was searching the ‘net for discounts in New Orleans and I came across savings.com. They have coupons for just about every website you can think of and you can rank the online-coupon similar to Digg. It worked out because they had savings at hotels.com and orbitz.com. I always wondered where people got the “promo code” discounts on all those sites. Savings.com. will either give you a code or you will go through their portal but it is really nice to be able to see all the diferent discounts on a trip in one place

So, if you are about to buy something online you might want to check out savings.com first and see if there is a coupon or promo going on. I’m all about getting a discount.

PS3 is Me

Published by kdub under sponsored

I have always been a Playstation fan. When it just used to be Sega and Nintendo it seemed like there was a slight split between your type of gamer. The Nintendo person waited for Mario Kart and Legend of Zelda while the Playstation player was more of Madden player…that is a pretty broad brush but it seemed that way with the people I knew.

So when Christmas came this year I bought a Wii for the family. The Wii is great and much fun but they don’t have the games like a PS3 or Xbox. It was weird because I have not bought anything “Nintendo” since the original game console but it was for the kids. Nintendo works best for the youngsters.

Now, a few months later, I am dieing to buy a PS3. The graphics, the games, Madden 09 and College Football 09 right around the corner…it is killing me.

Tripods, tripods, tripods

Published by kdub under sponsored, Opinions

Since when did tripods become hard to shop for and why are there so many choices? I was looking on Wize.com for different tripods for my camera and I was a little floored. Now, I am in no way a camera professional but I just need something with 3 legs to sit it on so my home movies aren’t shaking all over the place. Really I need one for the classic “Dad gets to excited and all we see of the play is my feet” shot.

But I just recently found this size wize and I like the format because they have it set up similar to Digg where users can rate the products and the highest scored tripods are shown first. I was suprised though the rating between some of the low priced vs. high priced stands…it was all over the place. Some of the expensive ones weren’t rated to much better than the lower priced versions and vice versa. But, I love sites like thiswere I just get a review and not blasted by a million ads and junk.

Ever Thought About Term Life Insurance?

Published by kdub under sponsored

When it comes to life insurance I have the options provided to me by work. They give me an accidental death and a life insurance policy. I think the life insurance policy is either at 4x or 5x my base salary. But, I still feel like I need something to cover the my home if anything ever happened.


About a year ago the cousin of my wife lost her husband in a bad car accident. It was life changing for them because he was the main earner in the house and they had 3 children. He made wise decisions though and had a couple of policies that covered his family. Ever since then life insurance has been on my mind.

Advantage Term Life is a company that offers someone a way to get quotes from over 25 insurance companies. Instead of shopping around at different locations you can visit one site that can help you go through your many options.

They have explanations of what is term life, whole life, mortgage, second to die, and many other options when it comes to different types of life insurance. They are committed to meeting the needs of the consumers and helping them with this important decision.

How to get rid of pimples quickly

Published by kdub under sponsored, No Explanation Needed

All acne sufferers are looking for ways of getting rid of it quickly. Maybe you have an important interview, date, presentation, a family dinner - and you want to get rid of it for that special occasion. Well whatever that important occasions it’s important you know the ways of getting rid it quickly…

Have you heard of the Internet’s most popular acne ebook, “Acne Free In 3 Days”. Well that’s the most perfect way for getting rid of it quickly. It gives a very detailed guide, basically it consists of eating 10 apples and drink 8 glasses of water a day, for 3 days. Obviously the end results vary from person to person. But there have been a massive amount of good reviews on the ebook, and many success stories. The author of the popular ebook even got media coverage, and was featured on Oprah and CNN news! So this may be an option worth considering if your in desperate need of getting rid of it in a short amount of time.

You can also go the natural remedies route, but it may take a little longer than 3 days to see results. There are many natural remedies that you can use. But you must stick to one method, and keep at it for at least a week before you see any results. You can use lemon or orange juice, apply to your infected areas then simply wash off with warm water. Fresh garlic is also an effective remedy, you rub fresh garlic onto your acne 4 times a day, simple as that.

For more severe cases you can take laser skin treatment, but you must have a wealth of money before you even consider this. You could get this done today if you have a lot of money. But this is one of the most effective methods, they simply laser off your acne, but it does leave your skin a bit sore for a couple of days afterwards.

However, if you want a lasting solution to your acne problems, a solution that will work on it inside out, use Acnezine.The Gentle and effective Acnezine Solution is designed to be used on the whole face (or acne-prone area) every day. It gets rid of existing acne - and helps prevent future breakouts before they even surface on your skin. And since it’s formulated with soothing botanicals like Aloe, it leaves your skin feeling healthy and hydrated… instead of dry and flaky.
